Leonardo once participated in the filming of Spielberg's "Cat and Mouse Game" (also known as How to Get Away with Murder), and he even introduced Daniel Day-Lewis to Spielberg to star in the movie "Lincoln", allowing that outstanding actor to Became the first actor in history to win three consecutive Oscars.
Now Charlie in "Flowers for Algernon" has allowed him to return to his original nature, which surprised Lin Han.
This is probably the highest praise for Leonardo. Film critics have said before that Leonardo looks like himself no matter who he plays, especially the way the veins on his forehead pop when his acting skills explode.
Lin Han would be lying if he said he wasn't excited now. It can be said that he grew up watching Spielberg's movies. There are all kinds of classic works emerging one after another, which shocked him enough!
After watching the excellence of "Jurassic Park" last night, Lin Han also strengthened his belief in making high-quality movies. Even if the time is delayed, he must produce the best work!
"Just give me a bottle of water." Spielberg looked kind and elegant.
Finally, all the crew members were here. Those who put on makeup quickly put on makeup, those who took the time to memorize their lines were memorized, those who were busy restoring the scenery were restored, and even the SF Express bags were completely packed and re-opened by the actors.
Lin Han and Leonardo met at the Davos Economic Forum. Although they have not had much contact, they can be regarded as ordinary friends.
At this time, they stopped shaking hands and simply gave each other a Western-style hug. Both parties were determined to make friends and cooperate with each other, so of course the atmosphere was very harmonious!
Even if it's Steven Spielberg, Lin Han can't agree with just one word from him. He has to see the film master's understanding.
Xu Jiayan could see that Chu Guang was a little nervous. After all, there were not only crew members here, but also guest actors and actresses from Lin Han Company employees. He walked over and whispered: "Actually, Director Lin has no ill intentions, he just wants you to understand Experience Neo's mood in the movie. You can bring in all the emotions you need from life, just think about it."
The protagonist did not dare to leave through the tower crane on the outer wall of the building because of his fear of heights, and had to be caught by Agent Smith. This was also a foreshadowing to prove that Neo was not the savior at this time.
After sending Spielberg to the elevator and watching them leave, Lin Han turned back, but this time he was stared at by pairs of eyes eager for knowledge.
Lin Han still had a lot of movie rights. He didn't know which movie Spielberg was targeting, so he simply asked directly: "I have sold the rights to some movies. I don't know. Which one do you want?"
The plot being filmed now is placed at the front of the movie, and can even be described as dramatic. The protagonist Neo receives a mobile phone inexplicably, and then agents come to arrest him.
Originally, Lin Han wanted to ask Spielberg to film a scene from "The Matrix" as a promotional stunt for the film, but he didn't expect that Spielberg was so tight for time.
"Find me?"
"Thank you, Teacher Xu. I'll think about it." This handsome mixed-race man spoke Chinese fluently. He sat on the horse and covered his face while thinking.
There are many movies and TV series with Spielberg's name on these days, but there are only a handful of movies that he actually directed. When he was young, his speed and quality were very good, but now he has gradually reduced his workload.
Just when the audience thought that Neo could use the terrain of the office to escape under the guidance of a mysterious person, Lin Han played a big joke on them!
"Sorry, can I take a look at your adaptation plan?"
Since Leonardo was mentioned, Lin Han couldn't help but curiously asked: "Have you seen Leo's new film? How is the quality?"
Spielberg looked at his watch, spread his hands helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I have to leave. I'll fly back to Los Angeles in three hours. Next time you go to Hollywood, be sure to let me know!" "
"Although I don't have high requirements for your acting skills, this time is different from being in a studio. This is a literary drama. You are required to express your emotions. Have you read the script? Neo is still in the matrix. Yes, this is what he thinks is real life."
Many people's authorizations are time-based. For example, Lin Han can ask Spielberg that if he does not film within five years, the film copyright will automatically return.
"Actually, I came here just to keep in touch with you. After all, I was too busy some time ago. I will hand over the adaptation plan to you when I go back. I will personally serve as the screenwriter and director. Sometimes it is very interesting to try something new! "
"Of course. I have read many of your science fiction novels. When I didn't know you, I thought you were an older American, but I didn't expect you to be so young."
Spielberg looked around and said, "Your employees all look young. This is a very energetic crew."
Spielberg laughed seriously: "I like "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" very much, and I want to try to film this hitchhiking guide for backpackers with empty wallets in the universe."
But Lin Han became a little worried. After all, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is an excellent IP, but it is most famous for its black humor. However, Spielberg has very little comedy content, and it can even be said that he is not good at it. comedy.
"I haven't seen the final film yet, I've only seen some scenes from the filming. Leo's performance is very good, he doesn't look like himself at all!"
Spielberg shook his head, "It is true that I have been in contact, but I want to make a new movie more, so I came to you."
Lin Han did not force anyone to do anything. Adapting a movie is not just a sentence or two, but requires preparation in all aspects. If Lin Han handed over the copyright to Spielberg but he did not film it, it would be a bit awkward. Suffered a loss.
In the office, Lin Han asked: "Excuse me, would you like tea, coffee or mineral water?"
"It is indeed a pity. I once went to Los Angeles to visit the post-production place of Jurassic Park, but at that time you were filming movies in Hawaii and New Zealand. Fortunately, we finally met!"
"Thank you for the compliment. Why don't we sit down and chat?" Lin Han pointed to his office. He took the lead in leading the way in. He didn't know why the director insisted on seeing him.
Only when the director has high demands on an actor will he constantly remind him of the areas where the filming was not done well. Some bad movies just want the actors to go up and go through the cutscenes. Some actors even shoot with chewing gum in their mouths and don't remember their lines. They just count 123 on the spot!
So he became more and more diligent, which was a pain for the actors and staff. The set was always shrouded in a low pressure. They were all afraid of breathing too loudly, in case Lin Han stared at them. That's not a good look.
It is very difficult to shoot a movie and get one scene to the end. Even an actor like Xu Jiayan, who is a movie king, sometimes has to be NGed repeatedly. An actor who is not NGed is not a good actor.
Or maybe after the movie is shot, the sequel must be shot with his consent, or Spielberg himself must be designated as the director!
Spielberg started talking to Lin Han after he finished talking about business. They have a common friend named Leonardo!
"It's good, it's a time of need for him."
Lin Han was still kind and did not directly scold him, "A group of agents came to your door for no reason. Where are your nervousness and doubts? You are just a small programmer and hacker. Where are your fears and panic?" If you think about it again, we’ll shoot again in five minutes!”
Chu Guang looked at Lin Han anxiously. His heart was beating like a drum. He didn't understand why he was told to stop this time. It seemed that his performance was not bad.
But it also made him feel valued. When the film master had such a busy schedule, he actually came to visit. It seems that he really values "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"!
Spielberg really didn't lie. He has the complete collection of Lin Han's works that he purchased at home, and he has read the better works many times!
At this time, an unexpected person walked in. Almost every one of the crew and company employees were speechless. How could this great director with gray hair and black round-rimmed glasses appear on the scene
The "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Cat and Mouse", "The Terminal" and "The Adventures of Tintin" all only contain some comedy elements. What he is good at is creating comedy effects under tense plots!
"In addition, I saw the "Bouquet for Algernon" that Leo got from you. It was him who suggested that I talk to you in person, otherwise our two companies would be in contact with each other."
He took the Nongfu Spring from Lin Han and took a sip, "I have long wanted to know someone who can write an excellent work like "Jurassic Park", but unfortunately I have never had the chance before. "
The staff standing in the back row had secretly filmed Spielberg shaking hands with Lin Han with their mobile phones. They were also very curious about what such an international film master was doing with his boss!
"Yes, I would like to ask about buying the movie rights in your hands. Maybe I will be the producer of "Jurassic Park 2"."
"I will definitely do it. See you next time in Hollywood. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."
Lin Han quickly put down what he was doing, walked up to Spielberg and said: "Steven, welcome to my company. I'm sorry to have you come here, my shooting plan does not allow me to leave. .”
Lin Han sat opposite Spielberg. He couldn't find anything to talk about for a while. He simply returned to the movie, "I wonder what your next movie plan is, Steven? Para." Did Meng ask you to renew the contract for "Jurassic Park"?"
