Chapter 594 How about you play this role

The day after "The Lord of the Rings 2" was finished, Director Ford announced that he was preparing to start making "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".

He claimed that this will be the film with the largest investment, the most magnificent scene and the most moving plot in his directorial career, and it will also be famous in film history!
This is a common bragging link for director Ford before making a movie, but what makes director Ford so awesome is that what he bragged about finally came true.

Fans are also very excited to see Director Ford being so aggressive this time.

Last year, "White Paper" snatched the Oscar for best picture. To be honest, many people are not convinced, but there is no way. If you dare to pick a thorn in the US environment, it will be very difficult to get along in the circle. Political correctness in the US It's that scary.

However, Director Ford has never been a person who will lose confidence because of one or two setbacks. After he received the script of "The Lord of the Rings", he knew that he would definitely win the most Oscars. Just take one less.

This time, the filming of "Lord of the Rings 3" will not be carried out in New Zealand, but in Scotland and Iceland. The demand for horses and armor has reached tens of thousands!

This demand is unprecedented in any medieval war film.

On this scale, there are probably only two films in the entire Western film history that can be compared.

One is "Ben-Hur" and the other is "War and Peace".

The former almost invited half of the real nobles in Europe to play the nobles in the movie, while the latter is a masterpiece filmed by the former Soviet Union mobilizing millions of people, and the volume is ridiculously large.

Everyone knew that Director Ford was going to be serious this time. No one doubted whether he could handle such a big scene. Everyone was just looking forward to how shocking the movie "The Return of the King" could bring.

Director Ford was in full swing, and Director Luo Quan was not idle.

After more than 20 days of filming with the crew, Leon finally finished.

Originally, his part did not need to be so long, but all his performances had to be performed under the green screen, which was rather cumbersome, so Luo Quan stayed at the end to shoot.

The completion of Lyon means that the entire crew is about to complete the filming.

Originally, Luo Quan didn't intend to end the filming in such a hurry, mainly because of the recent wave of layoffs in the United States because the stock market was on the verge of collapse.

Although the stock market has slowed down a bit now, the laid-off workers and employees cannot go back to work as if nothing happened, and the bosses who have suffered heavy losses probably do not have the ability to increase so many jobs.

Losing a job is equivalent to losing almost all sources of income. Mortgage and college loans immediately overwhelm these office workers. They lose their jobs on one day and have to go to receive relief food the next day.

Don’t question why these people don’t even have enough savings to last for a few days. In the United States, most of the middle and lower classes are dependents. It’s normal for people to earn ten and spend nine, and their savings will not exceed $3000 at most.

Compared with the older generation of Chinese people who believe in thrift and housekeeping, American young people are at the other extreme. Even some Chinese young people who have been brainwashed by consumerism cannot compare with them.

A large number of unemployed people will cause social instability.

And those who don't have a job want to maintain their previous standard of living, they must play around, that is, take to the streets to parade.

With demonstrations, the government can see their demands, and at the same time exert public opinion pressure on officials.

Officials in the United States are not afraid of anything, but they are afraid that they will not be able to achieve political achievements when they are in power at the local level, which will affect their own future, so they will think of solutions as soon as possible when encountering such things.

Of course, finding a solution is one thing, but being able to solve it is another.

After all, getting employees back to work requires real positions and remuneration. Now that the economy is in a downturn, many companies and factories are laying off workers, and positions cannot be created out of thin air.

But it's not that there are other ways. According to the usual practice, if the problem cannot be solved, the person who raised the problem will be solved.

It has not yet developed to this point, and the momentum of the parade is not too large.

However, as more and more laid-off workers go to the end of the mountain, the situation will immediately deteriorate. At that time, it is estimated that conflicts will inevitably occur, and even zero-yuan purchases will occur again.

Although Hollywood has not been affected by these situations for the time being, and the film industry is not bad, but who knows what is going on in the United States, maybe there will be a wave of zero-dollar purchases in Los Angeles tomorrow, which will affect Hollywood by the way.

In order to reduce the variables, Luo Quan accelerated the shooting speed, and finally got the film finished before November.

"Ahh...the filming is finally over." Luo Quan, who left the set and boarded the plane back to New York, stretched comfortably.

The next step is to hand over the special effects to Universal's studio to complete. After the special effects are completed, she will edit and dub the film, and then it will be ready for release.

"There shouldn't be any scenes to be filmed, right?" Angela next to her also had a relaxed expression.

The one-month shooting trip felt more tiring than staying up late to study for Columbia University.

The mental concentration is high, and the physical energy consumption is also very large, which is really not easy.

"If there are no accidents, there will be no more, but I will do a sound dubbing in about a month or so, and not all of the live recordings will be available." Luo Quan put down the chair and lay down on it.

I used to think that when flying, there is no difference between economy class and first class, and it will not be faster or slower than others.

But after taking the first-class cabin, I realized that the experience of the two sides is really different. At least in the first-class cabin, I can lie down and rest, and the food is better.

Of course, no matter how good the plane meal is, it’s not much better, mainly because it’s quieter here.

"By the way, sister, do you have to wait until next year to start work again after filming this film?" Leon put down the newspaper in his hand, turned his head and asked.

"That's right." Luo Quan put two pillows under his body, so he could sit back and relax, "China has a very important movie to shoot next year, and we started preparations a few months ago.

And "Resident Evil 2" can't be delayed.It will definitely be filmed. In addition, Karan Roosevelt also has a film to be filmed, and the requirements are not low.

If you count "Lord of the Rings 3", that's four. "

"Wouldn't your conscience hurt half of your part?" My sister's words directly made Leon laugh. The first two film roles combined did not exceed 10 minutes.

I heard that the third part is even worse, the first half is just a coma scene, and then there is a long scene of getting married and kissing at the end, but the kiss scene has to be doubled and borrowed seats, it is questionable whether it will last for 5 minutes or not.

To act as the heroine in such an epic masterpiece, but the result is such a situation, it is really a bit ridiculous.

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!"

Luo Quan glared at his younger brother, and then raised his foot to kick his ass, but Leon twisted his body to dodge it, quite like the enchanting Buffalo Bill in "The Silence of the Lambs" when he dodged Agent Starling's bullet.

"Speaking of sister, do you have any inspiration for Karan's movie? How do you plan to make it?" Leon came back and asked after dodging.

Luo Quan chuckled: "I originally planned to let you play the leading role, but I suddenly changed my mind."

"Don't mind, can't I just apologize?" Leon has always liked Pi, and he is really quick to admit his mistakes, but he always dares to do it next time.

"Oh, it's like this every time, I don't have a long memory." Luo Quan rolled his eyes at his younger brother, and he didn't bother to learn from him, so he said:
"The general direction is yes. It's a modern biographical movie. You play a mentally handicapped male character."

"It's such a challenging role again." Leon fell into thinking when he heard the character design of the actor.

Characters with intellectual and mental illnesses like this are recognized as difficult to act.

Because it is very difficult for normal people to act out the morbid feeling of this group of people, but since the director requested it, they must not be afraid of difficulties and have a sense of fear.

The most important point is that my sister said before that this is a work that can hit the Oscars, so he has no reason to refuse.

"I'll send you the script after a while, you can think about it carefully, and also collect some video data of mentally handicapped patients, you must act well." Luo Quan instructed Leon.

In her opinion, the image of Leon is very suitable to play the incarnation of the American dream. Men don't know, but he should be the ultimate dream of a woman's partner.

It would be perfect if it had a little more muscle.

"By the way, you have to train your muscles from today on. The hero has been a soldier and is tall and fit. You can't be skinny."

"Am I thin?" Hearing his sister's question, Leon was unconvinced and stretched out his arms to bulge his biceps, but his sleeves didn't change much.

"Well, I'm really a little skinny." Under the gaze of his sister, Leon was discouraged, and said aggrievedly: "I usually eat a lot of meat, but I don't know how to gain weight."

"It's not eating right. Put protein powder together, let's quit salt and fried food first." Luo Quan didn't know much about fitness, so he casually said a few points that might be useful, "In short, report Take a fitness class, your trainer should teach you."

"Understood, I'll get one when I get back." Leon nodded in response.

Although he likes to eat fried chicken and burgers, but in order to act in a good movie, he must quit everything that should be done. He still has the awareness of this.

"Sister, are you going to have nothing to do for a while?" Angela, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, I still don't know whether to play at home or go out for a walk."

"How about going to Hawaii, where I go to swim and sunbathe for vacation, I go there every year." Angela said excitedly.

Now at the end of October, it happens to be the end of summer in Hawaii. The climate is pleasant, and it is perfect for leisure and vacation in the past.

"Swimming, then I like it so much, count me in." Leon was the first to register by raising his hand. During this time, he is busy with study and work, so he really should change his mood to a place with a better view.

"Hawaii?" Luo Quan slightly frowned.

For some reason, when she mentions this place name, she associates it with bikinis.

Although I have already experienced it once, but if I do it again......

It's not absolutely impossible to go, she's not that conservative and hypocritical, and this is the first time Angela has asked her to travel, so it's not good to refuse.

So without thinking for a long time, she nodded and said, "Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, it's good to go on vacation, but if there are only three of us, maybe there will be too few people."

Leon laughed loudly: "I'm just waiting for you to say this. I will call someone as soon as I get off the plane, and call Seifert, Anna, Mia and the others."

"Is it okay to call these people?" Luo Quan cast a questioning look at his sister.

"It's lively because there are many people, and the three of us are really deserted." Angela said that she had no objection at all.

After getting off the plane, Leon called Mia immediately.

Judging by his appearance, it is estimated that the relationship between the two has progressed quite quickly, and it should have surpassed the scope of ordinary friends.

And Mia was also very excited when she heard that she was going to Hawaii for vacation, and expressed her willingness to go with everyone.

But Seifert and Fred both had things to do, and they couldn't come because they couldn't get away, so the three of them ended up with Mia alone.

Speaking of which, among so many friends, there are not many who can be as idle as their siblings.

The plan to travel to Hawaii was confirmed, but I didn't leave immediately.

There are still a lot of points to pay attention to in the special effects production of "Frozen", and Luo Quan has to spend some time to make a memo and send it over.

In addition, Nikola's research and development work seems to have progressed. Although I don't plan to go to Seattle to watch it directly, it is still necessary to give some speeches through video. After all, she is the only major shareholder.

In addition, the preparation of domestic films should also be taken care of, and those who like to take kickbacks cannot be completely arranged by themselves. After all, in that case, the cost will be difficult to control.

After Luo Quan finished explaining everything, three days had passed, and at this time Angela started to book a ticket to Hawaii.

Dad heard that they were going to Hawaii to bask in the sun, and at first he also expressed the idea of ​​wanting to play together for a moment.

But my wife had a big belly and couldn't go together, so my father immediately dismissed the idea.

In fact, when he was young, he liked swimming and playing at the beach. Sailing was also a sport he fell in love with while playing at the beach. Later, he even set a record because of this, although it didn't last long.

Thinking of his youthful years, Eric also felt a little emotional, but if life could be repeated, he would definitely not repeat his life again.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. Looking at the wife next to him, all the answers are obvious.

"Have fun at the beach, and prepare some sea snake serum that has appeared in the local area, maybe it will come in handy."

Eric, who often goes into the sea, reminds his children based on experience.
