Barber returned to the United States in a happy mood. At the same time, his briefcase also contained the two scripts "Die Hard" and "Taken" that Yang Ming wrote in one week.

Yang Ming was afraid that he was too busy and had no time to go to the United States. He could not let the directors who took over the two scripts fully understand what he wanted to express through the scripts.

Therefore, he spent a week and drew a large number of scenes for these two scripts.

Barber returned to the United States with the script, and within a few days, he called Yang Ming. He had found a director suitable for "Die Hard".

McTiernan, a slightly famous Hollywood director, but Yang Ming saw the information about this director in the email sent by Barber, and understood why Barber was able to let this director film "Die Hard".

This little-known director started his career shooting commercials. His first film was a small-budget action film. Although it did not make much profit, it was enough to prove his potential. For a new director, this is already a very big deal.

Not a bad result.

The most crucial thing is that the film company that released McTiernan's first film was Pan American Entertainment, which was still headed by Barber at the time.

It is not an exaggeration to say that McTiernan was unearthed by Barber.

Subsequently, Pan American Entertainment saw the potential in McTiernan, increased the scale of investment, and poured a large amount of money into McTiernan's second film "In Cold Blood". As a result, "In Cold Blood" not only achieved great success at the box office

The success of the film has made it a classic of science fiction action films.

Through this film, McTiernan's status as a Hollywood action movie director was officially established.

From this, it can be seen that it is not difficult for Yang Ming to understand why Barber would find this director to shoot "Die Hard with a Vengeance". Not only does McTiernan himself have a talent for making action and gunfight movies, but he also brought it out by Barber.

of.

It is easier to do things with acquaintances. This principle is not only in China, but also a universal principle in the world.

However, Barber told Yang Ming on the phone that he could not find a suitable director for the second script "Hurricane Rescue" yet, but he had arranged to go to Europe to find a suitable director, and he expected to have one soon.

The results are sent back.

After McTiernan had confirmed the signing of the contract, Barber quickly formalized the script for "Die Hard" in the company. After it was reviewed, all matters were immediately put on the agenda.

If nothing unexpected happens, "Die Hard" can be announced to start filming after the actors have completed their auditions.

Yang Ming heard the work progress reported by Barber on the phone. While sighing at Barber's high work efficiency, he also felt the pressure on the former Pan American Entertainment boss. Otherwise, how could he use such a short time to complete the work?

The crew of "Die Hard" has almost reached the stage of starting filming.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ming thought for a while and realized that he was almost done, and "2012" could officially start filming.

Thursday, August 15th, the Chinese Valentine's Day, just a few days before the start of Yang Ming's junior semester, "2012" officially announced the start of filming in Guangzhou, China.

For this opening ceremony, under the insistence of Liu Xinsheng and Sister Zhu, as well as the strong suggestions of directors such as Lao Chai and Bian Mingcheng, Yang Ming had no choice but to follow the trend and hold a very orthodox opening ceremony.

And under Liu Xinsheng's arrangement, many well-known media in China arranged reporters to interview on site to build momentum for Yang Ming's new film.

Of course, Yang Ming's Phoenix TV station and Guangyue Daily also arranged for reporters to follow up and report as soon as possible.

Desk, red velvet cloth, Guandi, incense burner, roasted suckling pig, delicious fruits, and then a camera covered with red cloth.

At the auspicious moment of arrival, Yang Ming, as the director, stepped forward and personally lifted the red cloth covering the camera. Firecrackers burst out, and at the same time, the shutters of the cameras in the hands of reporters not far away also sounded.

"Yang, is there any significance in starting this movie with roast suckling pig?" Manx asked Yang Chaowei in a low voice.

Standing next to Yang Chaowei, Zhou Meiling, who also attended the launch ceremony today, covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing when she heard Manx's question. Yang Chaowei generously explained: "This is a Chinese tradition. It has a plan.

Geely, it can be regarded as a kind of respect and inheritance of traditional culture."

"Oh!" Manx nodded, not sure what he understood.

He still cherishes the role of the second male lead in Yang Ming's new film this time. After all, this is a blockbuster with a production cost of 500 million. Even if it is put in Hollywood and converted into rice dollars, it will cost more than 100 million yuan.

With the production cost, this kind of opportunity is definitely rare.

After Yang Ming revised the script, Manx played the second male lead in the movie, Adrian, a black Chinese scientist. In the play, he was the first young scientist to discover the crisis and told the news

He became the president and actively helped countries around the world complete their escape plans.

However, in today's "2012", the scientist and the president's daughter no longer have the original relationship.

Because the current president's daughter is played by Su Su, this is just a little idea of ​​Yang Ming's own.

As the largest country in the world, China has a strong national power. During the First and Second World Wars, many foreign elites fled to China to escape the war. Therefore, it is a normal thing for foreigners from China in this world.

Manx plays the second male lead in the play and is able to talk to the President of China. For Chinese people, this is not a very surprising thing.

At this time, a cute little girl walked up to Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling and said cutely: "Brother said, you two are my parents in the movie, right?"

"What a cute little sister." As soon as Zhou Meiling saw the little girl, she picked her up and kissed her hard.

"Yes!" Yang Chaowei also said kindly from the side, "Your brother is Yang Ming, right?"

"Yeah." The little girl nodded in Zhou Meiling's arms.

This beautiful and lovely little girl is naturally Yang Ming’s sister Tongtong!

In the previous life "2012", Morgan Lilly played the leading role's daughter, which was a very bright star. However, he asked Sister Zhu to find many Chinese female child stars, but none of them met his requirements.

Because the eccentric, cute and playful daughter created by Morgan Lily in her previous life left a deep impression on Yang Ming.

Sister Zhu found a lot of information about well-known female child stars for him. He looked at countless photos but couldn't find one that matched the image of the little girl in his mind.

Then, by chance, one day, Yang Ming took Tongtong to work in the company. Sister Zhu saw her and Tongtong's cute appearance immediately made her say: "I really can't find it, why not let Tongtong act?"

!”

Tongtong also became interested, so the matter was settled.
Chapter completed!
