Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1900 Combination of handsome men and beautiful women

"When the night falls and the clock hits 7pm and that eerie siren goes off, it's also a nightmare for anyone in this city who wants peace."

The set of "The Purge of Human Beings" was arranged in a studio in LA. The setting here is mainly an ordinary urban street, and it is also one of the main filming locations of "The Purge of Human Beings".

This time director Oliver Stone invited Kevin Costner, who played an outstanding role in "The Untouchables", to play the leading role in "The Human Purge".

Lin Daoqiu did not intervene in the casting of the "Human Purge Project" from the very beginning, but completely delegated the power to Oliver Stone himself, which can be regarded as respect for him.

After all, in Lin Daoqiu's opinion, the setting and plot alone of this drama are enough to attract many audiences who like this type of theme.

As for who should be chosen as the leading actor, Lin Daoqiu actually doesn't have much opinion on this, as long as the salary is not too expensive, he is fine.

Obviously, Oliver Stone's choice is very good. Kevin Costner is only in his early thirties at this time, he is very tough and very handsome, he can be regarded as a standard handsome guy.

This time he's going to play an ordinary security system salesman, but in the second half of the movie, he will turn into a housekeeper.

Lin Daoqiu's setting for the actor in the script actually arranged for him to be a retired special forces instructor, so that he can play in the second half of the movie.

Speaking of which, this movie is not so much a horror movie as a cool movie, but the setting of the plot will make people feel a kind of preconceived fear at the beginning.

After all, under such a setting, what people can think of is all kinds of indiscriminate killings, but in the whole play, Lin Daoqiu did not shoot that kind of group fighting or group battles.

It just focused on the battle of wits and courage after the hero's family was invaded, as well as the resistance and counter-killing in the later stage.

After all, Lin Daoqiu never thought about making "Human Purge Project" into an anti-human movie.

If it can be done well, Lin Daoqiu can still establish an anti-war image for himself after the movie is released.

"Why does this alarm look so much like an air defense alarm?"

At the beginning, Oliver Stone asked several sirens to try and see which one was more suitable.

But he and Yu Yunkang were not satisfied after hearing several sirens.

"There's no need to worry about these, as long as the sirens don't appear often, it's better to make them completely different from the general sirens."

Lin Daoqiu also came to the crew of "Human Purge Project" today. He came here today to see how far the filming of the film has progressed.

"Mr. Lin is right. If it is similar to ordinary sirens, then people may be misunderstood."

Yu Yunkang still doesn't know whether "The Purge of Mankind" will be a big hit, he just looks at this issue from the perspective of an ordinary audience and citizen.

But Lin Daoqiu knew very well that this movie would definitely be a hit. If the siren sounds in the movie were similar to the real sirens, it would definitely arouse the fear of the general public.

"Let them do it all over again."

Oliver Stone was very interested in the play after reading the script, and his ideas became more and more during the filming process.

Coupled with the cooperation with Yu Yunkang, this drama is more handy in shaping horror and suspense.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't already set the finale and the direction of the overall plot, Oliver Stone really wanted to make this drama look a little more tragic.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Kelly McGillis, you can just call me Kelly."

As the heroine of this play, Kelly McGillis is the first time meeting Lin Daoqiu until now.

Kelly McGillis, who was regarded as a screen couple with Tom Cruise in "Top Gun", was invited to play the leading role in "Human Purge Project", and I don't know how she would be willing to take this drama.

"Hello Kelly, nice to meet you, I was too busy to visit the class before, I hope you forgive me."

The casting of Kelly McGillis has nothing to do with Lin Daoqiu, it is all Oliver Stone's decision.

However, Lin Daoqiu was still a little surprised to be able to invite her to act in this play.

But what Lin Daoqiu didn't know was that Oliver Stone's fame alone might not be able to invite Kelly McGillis. The main reason was that this play was written by Lin Daoqiu.

Otherwise, with such an anti-human horror film, it would not be easy to invite someone like Kelly McGillis.

"Tom has told me a lot about you before, and in my opinion, his respect for you has reached the point where it cannot be increased, so this makes me really want to cooperate with you..."

"It just so happened that Director Oliver sent me an invitation, so I readily accepted."

Although she brought Oliver Stone in later, Kelly McGillis actually didn't like the script at first.

If it wasn't for Lin Daoqiu's name on the screenwriter column, she probably wouldn't be able to take over the play.

After all, after performing "Top Gun", Kelly McGillis' reputation in Hollywood has skyrocketed. As long as she continues to develop steadily, she will definitely have a place in Hollywood in the future.

But this time Kelly McGillis made a very bold decision, she decided to take over the heroine of "Human Purge Project".

Even her agent didn't agree with her decision, but the attraction of Lin Daoqiu as the screenwriter was too great for them to refuse.

"I haven't seen Tom for a long time, but his development is really good, and he will definitely become a top star in Hollywood in the future."

Lin Daoqiu no longer plans to have any cooperation with Tom Cruise, because the relationship between the other party's agent has caused a rift in the relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu.

In fact, Tom Cruise was very annoyed. He originally had great respect for Lin Daoqiu, and even hoped to have more opportunities to cooperate with him.

But it's a pity that a rat's droppings ruined a pot of soup. The cooperation between him and Lin Daoqiu is at least impossible in the past few years.

Kelly McGillis didn't know about this. If she knew that Lin Daoqiu had an affair with Tom Cruise, she probably would never dare to mention Tom Cruise's name in front of Lin Daoqiu.

But I have to say that Lin Daoqiu thinks that Oliver Stone's casting this time can be said to be very good.

If it is an idol drama this time, then Lin Daoqiu's score for Oliver Stone can be said to be an absolute perfect score.
