"Nine billion directors are born! The real king of business!"
"The Monkey King's box office exceeded 3.5 billion!"
"Lin Juan goes to New York and enters Hollywood?"
"Is the next superhero in Lin Juan's universe an American?"
"Count down the Easter eggs in Lin Jian's two movies!"
"Lin Juan's new film Iron Man is on file!"
"Worship foreigners and favor foreigners? Why do we have to find foreigners?"
"Lin Juan actually chose him as the leading actor in his new film? Is it the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality!"
…
When there was a lot of commotion in China because Lin Juan's personal box office total exceeded 9 billion and he was officially the number one box office director in the country, New York, Global Headquarters.
Jimmy is a thirty-eight-year-old middle-aged white man with sharp edges and yellow hair that all white people have...
He is one of Universal's producer managers. At this time, he was looking at a young Chinese man in front of him in his office with a smile, and thoughts kept popping up in his mind.
[What is his name? Juan Lin? Or Lin Juan? 】
【Why doesn't he have an English name?】
[Is he really a $1.1 billion director?]
"Hi, Lin?" Jimmy asked tentatively.
"Hello, I'm Lin Juan." Lin Juan greeted with a smile.
"I know that as a director with 1.1 billion dollars, even in Hollywood, there is no director with such a box office at your age, which is amazing." Jimmy said with a smile.
Lin Juan smiled and thanked: "Thank you."
"Okay, then let's talk about what you need my help with." Jimmy's attitude was very good. The head office assigned him this task, and he learned about Lin Juan's information that day.
The box office of three movies reached 1.1 billion US dollars, a new movie universe, and now the fourth movie is coming to Hollywood. Now everyone can see that this guy has a big plan.
There are many people in Hollywood paying attention to Lin Jian.
I just don’t know if he will be acclimatized if he wants to film a Hollywood superhero?
These capitalists are cautious when it comes to investment. If it weren't for Lin Juan's strong appeal and achievements in China, they would not have taken the risk to invest.
"I need you to help me communicate about the filming location, such as the Disney Concert Hall, and select some actors for interviews. They don't need to be too expensive." Lin Juan said seriously.
"No problem, but I have a question. I suggest you change the leading actor of this movie to someone else? Everyone in Hollywood knows..."
"No, I decided it's him, it can only be him." Lin Juan shook his head and said.
Jimmy looked at Lin Juan seriously, then spread his hands and said, "Okay, then the editing rights of the movie..."
Lin Juan said seriously: "It can only be me."
"This is not in line with Hollywood rules."
"I'm Chinese." Lin Juan looked at him and said.
Want to steal the editing rights of the movie from him?
After a while, seeing that Jimmy was still silent, Lin Juan frowned and said, "Maybe you can consider not investing."
Movies are his reverse scale, and no one can touch his movies.
Hmm...
Except for radio and television.
Jimmy spread his hands: "Okay, don't get excited. Do you know Zhang Mou in your country? His movie "The Great Wall" was also edited by our people, and we also know Hollywood better."
Lin Juan frowned and was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, and smiled and said: "Okay, what you said makes sense. In this way, I will cut out the North American version and you can make comments, but the final decision rests with me."
If you agree, just agree, anyway...
When the movie is finished, if you can find an extra clip and cut it in, I will lose.
So what if you know more about Hollywood? How can you make such an important start and make random cuts?
"Wise choice. Since you have arrived in Hollywood, you should abide by Hollywood rules. I wish us a happy cooperation." Jimmy stood up with a smile and said, extending his hand.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Juan smiled and shook his hand.
You will definitely be happy.
…
Five days later, New York.
In the dressing room of the hotel where the crew stayed, Lin Juan was setting Downey's makeup.
Downey looked at himself in the mirror, looked left and then again, raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Well, I like this look."
Lin Juan smiled and nodded. He based this look on the original version of "Iron Man" in the system. I have to say that this look is very impressive and very suitable.
"Then we will shoot the entire movie with this look." Lin Juan said with a smile.
"Good idea." Donnie agreed. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand for a high-five. Lin Juan thought he was going to shake hands, so he held it with a smile and shook it twice, which made everyone look at his hand in shock.
After finishing the makeup, Lin Juan took him to see his clothes. The most eye-catching thing was the two sets of armor.
Mark 1 and Mark 2 are models made of iron sheets. Although most of the time these are produced with special effects in the studio, some scenes still require Downey to wear them himself, but only half of them are enough.
Fighting scenes and the like will be performed by stand-ins hired by the crew.
"This is my first time working with a Chinese crew. Are you all so good at it?" Downey pointed at the armors and said.
"Of course." Lin Juan nodded with a smile, and then said, "Try it on?"
"Yeah, of course." Danny nodded.
He said this, but when he was halfway through wearing Mark 1, he stopped and sighed: "I think I will definitely have a hard time in the future."
The Mark 1 model weighs forty-five pounds, so dressing up for acting is not an easy task, even if there are stand-ins to take on most of the scenes.
Lin Juan hugged his shoulders and smiled.
If it weren't for your age, would most people want a substitute?
Doesn't exist.
This makeup photo took a whole day to take, and the final result was pretty good. Lin Juan and Downey were very satisfied.
On the seventh day after Lin Juan arrived in New York, with the help of Universal, Lin Juan had found all the other main actors in the crew. Apart from Stark, the most important roles in this movie were Pepper and the villain.
For these two roles, Lin Jian chose two third-tier actors in Hollywood. The important thing was that they were cheap.
After another busy few days, Lin Juan began to set makeup and deliver scripts to the other actors. They could only get their own scripts, and confidentiality was strictly enforced.
After everything is ready, the next step is to officially start filming. Lin Juan plans to finish filming the scenes in the United States as soon as possible, and then return to China with the leading actors for filming.
When I stay in the United States, I always feel uneasy, alienated and uneasy in a foreign country.
It’s really only when you go abroad that you can feel that kind of mood. I miss the land of my motherland and my fellow countrymen so much.
Moreover, living in the United States, food and clothing for an entire crew is too expensive.
On the evening of February 26th, U.S. time, the crew officially started shooting at the Disney Concert Hall.
At this time, the hall was already filled with well-dressed people. The extras in Hollywood were all members of the Screen Actors Guild. The prices were high, but the overall quality was still better than in domestic places such as Hengdian.
They whispered and looked at the Chinese staff and the young director who filled the crew. Fortunately, there were people from Universal helping to coordinate and tell them what to do, otherwise communication alone would be a problem.
"I heard that this director's movies have grossed US$1.1 billion at the global box office?"
"They should all be in their country..."
"Do you think he'll be successful in Hollywood?"
"..."
There was a burst of electricity from the intercoms in various locations on the set, and then a calm voice sounded.
