This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 898 Whoever has milk is the mother (two in one, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Jason is a senior set designer in Hollywood. He started as an apprentice in his teenage years and has been working in set design for more than 20 years.

Apart from this, no other skills have been developed.

I will probably be a set designer for the rest of my life.

Fortunately, his skills are very high, so he is somewhat famous in Hollywood.

His decent income allowed him to marry an 18th-tier celebrity and have a son.

But the good times didn't last long. The Hollywood screenwriters' strike made him, who had just bought a house and a car, extremely anxious.

Hollywood screenwriters demanded that film and television companies increase the share of DVD sales for screenwriters and allow them to get a share of emerging digital media businesses such as the Internet, mobile phones, and MP3 videos. When these demands were rejected, they launched a large-scale strike.

The strike not only caused the suspension of many American TV dramas and affected the filming of movies, but also forced the star-studded Golden Globe Awards ceremony to be downgraded to a press conference, and caused nearly $32 billion in losses to the local economy in Los Angeles.

Many people working in the film and television industry are faced with the dilemma of not being able to start work for a whole year, and even if they do start work, they have to fight for it.

Jason sold the car, but it only delayed the process.

The bank has given Jason a deadline. If he fails to repay the loan, the house will be foreclosed.

The consumption concept of Miguo people makes them not very fond of saving money.

Not only does he not save money, but he also has to borrow money to consume in advance. So Jason has no other way to solve the problem except working or robbing.

Just at this time, a director from China gave him an opportunity.

Whoever gives you milk is your mother. Jason looked at the group of Chinese directors sitting in front of him without any hesitation. As soon as Hao Yun started talking, he started to reveal all the tricks of a Hollywood set designer.

I don’t care about industry rules or racial discrimination at all!

"Source Code" almost all the people it cast were Hollywood filmmakers like Jason.

High standard, difficult life.

As long as you give them a little benefit, they will be willing to be your guide.

Michael Bay has been "ostracized" by Hao Yun. If he were here, he might really discover Hao Yun's intentions.

Without Michael Bay, the crew would be in disarray.

It can almost be said that Hao Yun has everything under his control.

He filmed during the day and would drink and chat with these Hollywood filmmakers at night.

The directors who participated in the Sino-US film exchange followed suit and learned.

After finishing their studies in Hollywood, they came to Canada to take the "Source Code" course.

Learning from Hollywood filmmakers does not mean introducing the Hollywood model into Chinese-language films, or directly introducing it into the mainland.

Instead, we should understand Hollywood from its various working models.

In order to find the gaps between each other and improve our own filmmaking process based on this.

On a more micro level, the directors of Black Bean Media want to improve their crews.

The knowledge of these Hollywood filmmakers can help everyone.

There was no mention of overtime or not.

After all, everyone was just chatting and drinking, and there was no issue of overtime.

Hao Yun is inviting the set design crew to dinner today and the photography crew to dinner tomorrow.

Anyway, we invite some people every day.

Do you like this kind of boss?

Anyway, these Hollywood filmmakers are crazy about it and they praise Hao Yun highly.

In addition, as low-level workers in Hollywood, they were toasted and flattered by a group of Chinese filmmakers, which not only satisfied their stomachs but also gave their self-esteem unprecedented satisfaction.

So, one by one, they all "recruited".

“I’ve seen your film Buried, and I think the set design of Source Code is very similar to that of Buried.”

"Oh? Are there any similarities?" Hao Yun only proposed an idea, and the perfection of many scenes depended on the set designer.

Each one has his own duties...

This is a major feature of the Hollywood film industry.

He only decides whether to accept the results of the work.

"The maintenance box is a coffin, the siege is a coffin, and the source code world seems to be a coffin as well..."

Many prop scenes, including maintenance boxes and siege cities, were developed by Jason and his colleagues based on Hao Yun's ideas.

He felt that Hao Yun was simply a genius.

"The source code is not a coffin, haha." Hao Yun has heard many similar remarks.

This film was dubbed by two Hollywood screenwriters.

Of course, they are definitely not very good, and their existence is to help Hao Yun improve the script and lines.

But in fact, Hao Yun wanted to learn more about the script operation mode of Hollywood directors from them.

The two screenwriters strongly suggested that if the movie ended with the last kiss, it would definitely become a classic.

It's like "The Butterfly Effect".

The hero returns to the past again and again, trying to correct the past. But his father tells him: You can't be God, son, you can't change a person without hurting him. If you continue, you will destroy yourself. As expected, he eventually couldn't stand the increasingly chaotic world being modified, and returned to the mother body and died.

But the script of "Source Code" given by Hao Yun is really too warm.

So warm that it makes people feel that he is not calm enough.

As a set designer, Jason apparently had similar ideas. He felt that the source code should be a coffin, not a paradise.

They Europeans and Americans like to talk about the Garden of Eden.

The story of Utopia was introduced to the crew by Hao Yun.

Hao Yun often gives everyone some popular science about Chinese culture, which is quite interesting to listen to. Many people in the crew have increased their understanding of China through these cultures.

The main reason is that Hao Yun is very knowledgeable and he knows everything from ancient times to the present, from China to abroad.

No one can underestimate him.

In fact, the Hollywood filmmakers who work with Hao Yun not only admire Hao Yun, they even feel that they should admire this genius.

Hao Yun spent four days filming the scenes in "Fortress Besieged".

It's basically Ryan Reynolds's solo performance, with some shots from supporting actors such as Goodwin.

This movie is mainly about the death of an Afghan veteran.

But part of the brain is still alive, and is used by scientists to connect to the source code world formed by the brain waves of those who died in the disaster, and to travel to the source code world to resolve the terrorist crisis.

Ryan has to perform a scene over and over again.

This may be difficult for ordinary actors, but Ryan had just finished filming "Buried" not long ago, so he was able to perform the feeling that Hao Yun wanted very easily.

The scene on the train is slightly more difficult.

This scene was not actually shot on a train, but rather two carriages set up on top of each other. They just seemed to be running shakily.

"Ka, Ryan, why are you still in the game?"

The kissing scene happened to be filmed, and Ryan, the introverted and sexy man, pinched Scarlett's conscience while kissing.

It seems that although these two people have some problems in their relationship, they still have a good understanding in bed.

"Sorry, sorry..." Ryan apologized quickly.

"So, you are used to it, right?" Hao Yun's words caused laughter at the scene.

This is not considered making fun of women, nor is it considered disrespecting women.

After all, if we really look into it strictly, it is clear that Ryan was the one who was being shameless.

"Okay, come on, you two continue..."

Hao Yun asked everyone to continue working, and while paying attention to the shooting effects, he also studied the details of the on-site shooting.

Since the 21st century, with the development of digital technology and the rapid popularization of the Internet and mobile Internet, and with the construction of the virtual world using digital technology, Hollywood companies have entered the stage of digital integration.

In other words, the Internet and the digital age are pushing the film industry towards a digital integration system.

In this regard, the development of Chinese-language films is relatively slow.

Therefore, on the basis of compressing the lead actor's pay, Hao Yun tried his best to use Hollywood's most advanced film production equipment and technology this time.

Moreover, sometimes, he would make some requests that are beyond the normal difficulty.

In order to achieve his requirements, these Hollywood filmmakers had to rack their brains to find a solution, and then they had to take Hao Yun to get in touch with more technologies.

However, everyone also recognizes Hao Yun's level.

If they disagree, they will most likely choose to go on strike because they feel they are being embarrassed.

For example, in a shot in Fortress Besieged, Hao Yun made many special requirements for camera movement and lighting, and it took thirteen hours of repeated adjustments to complete the shooting.

The final effect allowed Ryan to contribute one of the most outstanding shots in his entire film career.

In the minds of these filmmakers, this kind of thing usually appears in films directed by master directors.

So, Scarlett, whose conscience was pinched, looked forward to it: "Felix, can I have a shot like this?"

Scarlett met Hao Yun through her husband.

But she was not satisfied with simply contacting Hao Yun through Ryan, so she was always trying to develop Hao Yun into her own network of contacts.

Once, Scarlett called Hao Yun out for a drink.

When Hao Yun arrived, he found that Ryan was not there. It turned out that Scarlett herself wanted to treat Hao Yun to a drink.

Hao Yun was scared at the time. People in Europe and America are more open-minded.

He was really worried whether Scarlett had feelings for him. If it was true, how could he reject her? Since then, Hao Yun never went out with Scarlett again.

Ryan didn't have much opinion on this.

It seems that he can understand Scarlett's thoughts very well. Now Scarlett expects Hao Yun to arrange highlight shots for her instead of just being an "NPC". Ryan seems very supportive.

"Then when you are lying on the ground, we will give you a close-up and show you a kind of broken beauty."

Hao Yun thought about it and realized that it was actually difficult to add any drama.

The main focus of this movie is the plot setting, and the acting requirements are not that high, and the performance is also placed on Ryan.

So I can only say sorry to Scarlett.

Not to mention lying on the ground with a gun, even lying on the bed with a gun between your legs would be useless.

But Scarlett was already very satisfied.

As a vase, if she just does that in the future, she will definitely be able to live a good life in Hollywood. However, countless Hollywood vase predecessors have proved to her that no matter how good you are as a vase, as long as you are not so flashy, you will be replaced by a new vase in the future.

A vase at the age of thirty, a vase at the age of forty, can you still be a vase at the age of fifty?

The scene where Scarlett lies down was when she was shot.

Ryan found the bomber, but was accidentally shot twice by the bomber and died. Before he died, he saw Scarlett lying on the ground after being shot.

He said the words that appeared many times to the dying Scarlett.

“Everything is gonna be ok.”

Hao Yun did many NGs when shooting this scene because he wanted to make it more profound, but Scarlett's ability did not allow it.

A very strange thing is that Hao Yun has endless patience with An Xiaoxi.

Even if An Xiaoxi NGs thirty or fifty times, he still thinks An Xiaoxi is really cute.

Scarlett only NGed six times, and he started to consider whether it was necessary to do this shot - after all, not doing it would not affect the quality of the movie.

"How about some tears!" Michael Bay appeared on the set chewing gum.

He was kicked out of the crew by Hao Yun as soon as the filming started.

In theory, they hope Michael Bay can help arrange the release of the movie "Your Name" on Miguo.

And they touted him as being even more powerful than Harvey Weinstein.

When talking about Harvey Weinstein and his Miramax, Chinese people associate him with Zhang Yimou.

Miramax used to be the leading independent producer in Hollywood, and its boss Harvey Weinstein was definitely a man with all-powerful connections in Hollywood.

He was photographed playing tennis with the likes of Clinton and Lahiri.

The success of Zhang Yimou's films such as "Hero" in North America is basically the result of his ability to operate synchronously.

Hao Yun said that Michael Babe is more powerful than Harvey Weinstein, which is definitely an exaggeration.

"Mike, long time no see. How come you have time to come over?" What Hao Yun meant was, couldn't you just not come over?
"I'm curious about what you made of the movie, Felix. I don't think you'd be unwelcome."

Michael Bay is not stupid. He is a producer on the set, so why would he need the director to ask questions?

"How could that be? Look, you just came over and helped solve this problem that has been bothering me for a long time. Scarlett, try what Mike just said!"

Hao Yun can also understand Michael Bay.

Although "Buried" achieved certain success, the box office of more than 30 million US dollars was not that shocking in the eyes of people like Michael Bay.

After Hao Yun's films "20 Again" and "Painted Skin" were released on a small scale in Europe and the United States, the response was not very good, but at most it was not in vain.

This made Michael Bay a little impetuous.

FC Pictures has placed a lot of hopes on him.

Since the Chinese films directed by Hao Yun did not do well here, he does not have excessive expectations for "Your Name".

So, after much thought, I still need to focus on the "Source Code".

Scarlett had no choice but to act according to what Michael Bay said, and she was quite afraid of the explosive Bay.

The 2005 film "The Island" directed by Bay and starring Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor brought this top Hollywood producer down from the altar.

With an investment of 1.2 million US dollars, the film only earned 3500 million US dollars at the North American box office and 1.6 million US dollars worldwide, causing its new owner DreamWorks to suffer terrible losses.

"The effect is much better indeed. Don't cry so much. Just a little bit, and your eyes will be filled with tears..."

Hao Yun translated “eyes brimmed with tears” into “eyes brimmed with tears.”

Scarlett is very obedient.

But her acting wasn't actually any better.

For Ryan's sake, Hao Yun announced that the shot had passed.

If it doesn’t showcase Scarlett’s extraordinary acting skills, then it does showcase her beauty.

As long as you are beautiful enough, there are many people willing to drink your foot washing water.

"How about letting me do the explosion scenes?"

The reason why Explosive Bay is called Explosive Bay is that when filming "Pearl Harbor", in order to restore the fierce and cruel war scenes during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Michael Bay even set the Guinness World Record of 7 explosions in 350 seconds.

This is where the name "explosive shell" comes from.

From then on, he became unstoppable and many of the films and TV series he directed included very spectacular explosion scenes.

This time, "Source Code" also has many train explosion scenes.

"This can't be shot on location, so there's no room for you to show off your talents, Mike. Your Name is a work that I value very much. I hope you can use it to make our FC Films shine."

"Chinese romance films...are unlikely to be very successful." Michael Bay was not fooled.

"How could that be? Almost a Love Story was very popular. Even Spielberg's wife liked it and invested in him to make Love Letters."

What Hao Yun meant was, it’s not that my romance movie is not good, it’s that your Explosion Shell cannot produce it.

Bang Bei was speechless. There was really no need for the two of them to complain about each other.

"Let's design the explosion scene together. Otherwise, when the movie is finished and people see the explosion scene, they will feel that it is really unworthy of my reputation and it is really embarrassing for me."

If an ordinary director disobeys, in Hollywood, he will be fired directly.

It is very common to change directors during the filming of a movie.

But Hao Yun is not only the director of Explosive Bay's production project, but also his business partner, so he certainly cannot use the Hollywood approach.

"That's totally fine, as long as it doesn't conflict with my overall style."

Hao Yun doesn't want the explosion scene to be discussed too much after the movie is released.

Michael Bay returned to the set and brought news from Nolan.

Hao Yun has been confirmed to star in "Inception", which will start filming on July 7, playing the role of "Outpost" Arthur.

The actor's contract is for five months.

Including the film salary and the soundtrack "Time" he composed for "Inception", the film company paid Hao Yun a total of 600 million US dollars.

good?

It’s more than good!

It's simply very good!
Hao Yun was the second highest paid actor in the entire "Inception".

Ken Watanabe, who has already made a name for himself in Hollywood, only received a salary of four or five million dollars.

The only one taller than Hao Yun is Leonardo.

However, Leonardo's income not only includes basic salary, but also back-end income such as dividends from movie box office, copyright fees and other sales revenue.

Hao Yun only received film remuneration and music production.

Many of the actors Nolan used this time are big-name stars nominated for Oscars.

Not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard, even the supporting actors are superstars such as Michael Caine, Tom Berenger, Pete Postlethwaite and Ken Watanabe who have won or been nominated for Oscars.

I can only say that if you love someone, you can really do anything for him.

Hao Yun’s high pay did not come for no reason.

This scheming bitch sent the soundtrack "Time" to Nolan before discussing the salary...

Lanlan, this is what I created for you!
Nolan couldn't let it go and praised Hao Yun, whom he had never met before.

He suggested that Hao Yun go over for a meeting.

Hao Yun refused on the grounds that he was busy filming.

The less he saw anyone, the more itchy Nolan felt.

Moreover, Hao Yun himself is also making movies in Hollywood, which gives Nolan a sense of identity.

Never let down the ones you love!
Relying on his multiple identities as producer, executive producer, and director, Nolan directly offered Hao Yun an unreasonable and sky-high salary.

Otherwise, how could Hao Yun, a Chinese who was acting in a Hollywood movie for the first time, get a salary of 600 million US dollars right off the bat?

This converts into RMB to as much as 4100 million.

Top Chinese stars only get paid a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars when they go to Hollywood.

Many of them are the type who are willing to act even without pay.

Aunt Zhang Ziyi is already a familiar face in Hollywood and is highly appreciated by all parties, but she only received a salary of 200 million US dollars for filming "Memoirs of a Geisha".

The highest pay record for a Chinese actress, set by Lucy Liu in "Kill Bill," was only $550 million.

It is conceivable that if Hao Yun participates in a movie he makes in Hollywood in the future, it will be no problem for him to offer himself a salary of three to five million US dollars.

After all, his value was certified by Nolan himself.
