Entertainment 1998

Chapter 460 459, Is this called a movie?
Is it sexy?

It seems a little!
But there is nothing that can be done about it, because the power of the actors' union in Hollywood is too great. There are limits on the working hours and treatment of actors. Even the union and insurance companies have to check whether the actors have any dangerous scenes during the performance...

The release date of "Paranormal Activity", which serves as the pilot film of "Saw 2", is quite tight. According to Jon Fillmore's plan, the film will be released on February 2th.

Therefore, during the filming of the movie, Jiang Feng could only exploit loopholes in the Actors Guild. We were not making a movie, but auditioning Jessica Alba.

Not only that, we also have to edit the audition process into a film and show it in theaters to determine whether Jessica Alba is suitable for the movie "Seeing Ghost" based on the reactions of the moviegoers.

It was pretty good. After the crew's hard work all night and reshoots at 8 o'clock in the morning, the film was finally completed.

After the filming of "Paranormal Activity" was completed, Jiang Feng gave the crew three days off so that everyone could have fun in Los Angeles, while he himself immediately devoted himself to the editing and production of the film.

At present, although the newly established Lionsgate Entertainment is not yet well-known in Hollywood, as a company mainly engaged in film production and distribution, it still has all the necessary equipment.

Editing room, post-dubbing room, sound effect simulation room, film screening room, etc.

Since the movie "Paranormal Activity" is simple, Jiang Feng did not look for Hollywood professionals for post-production. Both editing and music scoring were done by him alone.

It didn’t take too long. Jiang Feng finished the film at noon on February 2nd. He also added an easter egg at the end of the film, the song "Rolling in the Deep" sung by Li Wen!
After a movie is made, according to Hollywood rules, it will be screened in a few theaters for a few days, and the film distribution company will hand out questionnaires to the audience...

Finally, the film distribution company will determine the scale of screening based on market response!
The movie "Paranormal Activity" is no exception. As soon as Jon Fillmore got the copy of the movie, he contacted 15 cinemas in Los Angeles to screen the film.

……

Zhang Ziyi is here.

On February 2, she flew from Beijing to Los Angeles. The reason for this was that "Rush Hour 3" was about to start filming. As the heroine, she naturally had to come here early to adapt to the life in the United States and the filming rhythm of the crew.

Of course, the most important thing is to speak English more fluently.

As we all know, the best way to learn a new language is for learners to live in an environment where the language is spoken for a period of time.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi arrived in the United States half a month in advance, went shopping, had a meal, walked around the mall, and then went to the cinema to watch a movie.

Watching original English movies without subtitles is actually the best way to train English beginners' listening and reading skills.

"Hi, beautiful lady, would you like to watch a movie?"

On the afternoon of February 2, Zhang Ziyi just walked into a shopping mall and a young man in a suit came to greet her.

The young man spoke very fast and with an accent. He said it five times in a row before Zhang Ziyi understood what he meant.

It turns out that Hollywood's Lionsgate Entertainment is about to release a movie. Before the movie is released, it has to do market research and invite audiences to watch the movie for free. Of course, after watching the movie, you have to fill out your opinions carefully.

After understanding this, Zhang Ziyi happily agreed to the young man's request.

What kind of movie is not to watch?!

It's free and you don't have to spend any money.

The screening room of this cinema is not too big, with only 120 seats. Since the movies are free, there are quite a lot of people coming. Zhang Ziyi walked into the screening room and took a rough observation. The occupancy rate was about %.

Judging from the skin color, among the nearly 100 moviegoers, most of them are local Americans, including blacks and whites, but as for yellow people, there are basically no yellow people.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi finally understood why the handsome guy insisted on inviting her to watch a movie for free, because he wanted to simulate a real movie audience as much as possible.

People of all races, all classes, educated and uneducated, homeless people on the street, workers in shopping malls, white-collar workers in companies, etc.

Zhang Ziyi had just found a good seat to sit down and hadn't even taken out her glasses to put them on when the movie started.

This movie produced and released by Lionsgate has a flash of opening credits and then gets to the point.

Inside the large villa, the TV was on, the sound was a little noisy, the picture was a little shaky, and then, a handsome guy holding a handheld DV suddenly appeared in the mirror...

Seeing him, Zhang Ziyi almost cried out. Jiang Feng!

When did Jiang Feng start filming in the United States? You know, on the evening of January 1, the two of them also participated in the Spring Festival Gala performance together.

But the movie was still going on. Jiang Feng, holding a handheld DV, took a picture of himself in the mirror and then walked out of the villa.

At this moment, a convertible sports car drove over from a distance on the road outside the villa.

"Do you see it?
The person driving the car is my girlfriend, her name is Jessica Alba, pretty, right? I think she is very pretty. "

As Jiang Feng was speaking, the white convertible sports car drove to the gate of the yard. Jessica Alba stopped the car, raised her hand and waved to the camera lens.

"Hi, Feng, are you here to pick me up outside?"

"yes!
I mainly want to show you this new DV I bought. Isn't it cool?"

"Well, it's not bad, I like the color."

Jessica Alba smiled brightly, got out of the car, and gave Jiang Feng a passionate kiss.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyi frowned!
This shouldn't be a movie, right? Isn't this a couple using a camera to record their life? They are talking and laughing, playing and joking, without any plot conflicts.

However, since she was here, Zhang Ziyi had to keep watching. She wanted to see what Jiang Feng was acting out.

At this moment, the camera suddenly turned.

Jiang Feng, wearing shorts, had already jumped into the swimming pool in the yard and was swimming in it.

Jessica Alba, holding a handheld DV, was sitting on a lounge chair next to the swimming pool and filming him.

"Hey, Feng, the weather is a bit cold today, why do you want to take a shower at this time?"

Hearing his girlfriend's question, Jiang Feng swam over from a distance, put his hands on the edge of the swimming pool, and said, "To show you how strong I am, because only someone as strong as me can protect you."

"LOL, really?"

Jessica Alba, who was filming Jiang Feng with a handheld DV, laughed at this moment.

"Of course!

With me as strong as you are, you won't be afraid of anything mysterious when you go to sleep at night."

Eh…

boring!

After watching the whole movie for 10 minutes, Zhang Ziyi sighed and felt a little bored.

If she didn't have to fill out a questionnaire when she walked out of the screening room, Zhang Ziyi really wanted to leave.

What is Jiang Feng filming?

There is no story, no logic, the whole article is just a young man and woman flirting with each other.

Ok…

I'd better not look at the picture. I'll just close my eyes and listen. I'm here to learn English anyway.

So, Zhang Ziyi, feeling a little bored, slowly closed his eyes.
