Global Movie Emperor

March 17, nine o'clock in the morning, light rain, Universal Studios conference room.

The casting work was completed on March 7, and the screen arrangement and location negotiations were completed on March 9. On the same day, the storyboarding of the "Past Life" script was completed. Today, the "Past Life" project was officially launched!

The conference room was full of people. Originally, the atmosphere should not have been so depressing before Mickey arrived, but now, people did not communicate with each other, but only studied the script individually, and it was difficult to breathe quietly.

It was the lady in the front seat of the long table who brought pressure to people. From the moment she arrived, everyone kept their mouths shut. Only when she wasn't paying attention did they dare to take a peek at her. posture.

Turning her white wrist over, revealing the delicate watch on her wrist, Kamiya frowned as she looked at the time, but did not complain or get up and leave. She was just stirring the unmelted white sugar in the coffee cup with a spoon, adding it to the mix. Focus on the script again.

…

Outside the courtyard, a blue Raptor was covered with mud. The moment Barbo opened the door, it roared into the courtyard. Seeing that the parking lot was full of vehicles, the person in the main driver's seat nodded.

"Good morning boss."

"Good morning Barber."

The four car doors were pushed open at the same time, and four strong men got out of the car. When their leather boots stepped on the puddle, there was a splash of water. Babo quickly handed the umbrella to Lu Ze and the others, and held an umbrella for Mickey alone. People come inside the company.

Outside the conference room on the second floor, four bodyguards saw Mickey and his party arriving. They nodded to the four of them and gently opened the door to the conference room. Similarly, the actors sitting in the conference room were also instantly seen wearing leather jackets and jeans. Mickey, who was wearing a toad mirror on a rainy day, and Lu Ze behind him.

He sat in the main seat without hesitation and looked around. There were twenty-seven people there, not a few of them. Mickey nodded with satisfaction, took off his sunglasses and threw them casually on the table. After Lu Ze and the other three also found a seat to sit down, they took the photo. He clapped his hands and took the lead in speaking.

"Thank you for being here on time despite the weather. Miss Kamiya, could you please stop stirring your coffee? I'm talking now, okay, thank you."

Mickey put on airs, and Kamiya, who originally needed to be held, became the first chicken he killed. He paid, Kamiya took the money, and Kamiya became his employee, and now he officially started working. , then he has the final say in everything here.

Kamiya didn't get angry either. Perhaps she was used to being pampered during this period, and the actor's consciousness had not yet adjusted. Now that she heard Mickey's lecture, she truly realized that she had officially joined the group instead of attending a meeting. As an actor who has been in the industry for more than 20 years, she still has this awareness. She nodded gently to Mickey to express her apology and poured all the coffee into the trash can.

"First of all, I know that your roles may be long or short, so it is impossible for everyone to follow the team. Here is the rehearsal schedule. Everyone needs to fulfill their obligations according to the above time. When is it your turn to film, Qian Don't say anything like I don't have a schedule, otherwise the liquidated damages are clearly written in the contract, so don't cause any conflicts."

A stack of A4 paper was distributed to the twenty-six supporting actors present. As for Kamiya, like Lu Ze, she had to follow the team until the filming was completed.

The approximate date that everyone needs to report to the crew is clearly marked on it. Of course, due to the shooting schedule cannot be guaranteed, the date will be adjusted, but it will basically not exceed a week. As a result, all the supporting actors did not speak, they all lowered their heads to think. Schedule.

"I hope that the gentlemen and ladies who will join the team after a while can study the roles seriously and don't put off the task until the end, causing me to be dissatisfied when I see your performance. The filming will start this afternoon, and the staff has already started The scene has been set up, so those who have roles today should take the time to read the script carefully, there is not much time left for you."

"During this period, I hope that everyone can be strict with themselves and avoid any accidents that may cause me to be unable to find you when I need you. Friends who like to drink should especially pay attention. Okay, the meeting is not long, I hope you don't mind. , those who have a role to play today will stay, and others can leave."

A meeting that lasted less than five minutes, and something that could be told online, caused a group of people to go to the suburbs of Liverpool in the rain for a meeting. This was undoubtedly a joke, but no one complained. The only person who should leave was He folded the A4 paper and put it away, said goodbye to Mickey, and left in a hurry.

This is a show of force, everyone knows it, but on the surface they cannot show dissatisfaction, because everyone knows that Mickey wants this effect and this control. No one present is a thorn in the side and dares to argue with Mickey. As for how Mickey might be scolded behind his back, Mickey didn't care.

After all the people who had no role to play left, Mickey did not speak. He just tapped a cheap lighter on the table and looked directly at everyone. After a while, he smiled slightly and said.

"Let's go to the set."

…

The first scene was shot in a restaurant. A group of actors drove their cars to form a long queue. They could see that there were many crew members inside the restaurant carrying a large amount of equipment to start installation and debugging, and they themselves , also attracted the attention of many people.

"Fake..."

Mickey was shaking the tobacco in his hand and giving it to Lu Ze and the three of them. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a person standing on the corner of the street, with lights flashing. His face became a little gloomy, and he cursed in a low voice.

British journalists are very powerful. This is recognized around the world, but this is definitely not a compliment, especially entertainment journalists. They have offended many people, so many people hate them.

For sales, or purely for money, they can do many things that ordinary people would never dare to think of, such as taking pictures of the bodies of dead celebrities, sneaking into private houses in the middle of the night to take photos of artists' privacy, and even going through celebrities' trash cans. For a while, celebrities were afraid to throw their personal belongings into the trash along with the trash.

Regarding their actions and their attitude of spreading rumors wantonly, Mickey has no doubt that they can secretly film the plot of a movie. Therefore, the most important thing for Mickey to consider at the moment is how to prevent reporters from prying eyes. After all, He and Kamiya have been targeted by these grandsons.

Looking in the direction where Mickey was looking, Lu Ze obviously noticed something. He lit the cigarette in his mouth, walked gently to the car where Kamiya was, and gently tapped the glass of the back seat.

"What's the matter? Mr. Lu."

"There are reporters taking pictures. Don't come out yet. Just sit in the car. I'll call you after the work is done. You don't have a part in this scene. You can also choose to leave first. The script must be kept well at all times. Put it where you can see it.”

"Okay, I understand Mr. Lu, I don't plan to leave. After all, it's the first scene. I still want to see it. Thank you for the reminder. I'll just wait in the car. When will the filming start? Remember Just call me.”

Kamiya wanted to see Lu Ze perform. After all, he was the winner of five Best Actor trophies. Although four of them did not have much gold content in her eyes, awards of this nature did not include awards for actors from other regions. She wanted to Getting it is usually no different from daydreaming, but if Lu Ze can get it, it must be his special skill.

In addition, she also wanted to take a good look at Lu Ze and see what the merits of Mickey's appointed Asian male protagonist were, and why Mickey wanted an Asian to play a role that was best played by a white man. To put it simply, I want to see how strong Lu Ze is and whether he is worthy of starring opposite her.

Through the car window, she saw Mickey talking to Lu Ze, and then the two brought the Russian brothers into the restaurant. The staff opened a black opaque curtain to cover the glass window of the restaurant, in order to prevent anyone. Everyone knew in their hearts that she couldn't see the situation inside, so she stopped worrying and focused on the script wholeheartedly, waiting for the call from the crew.

About half an hour later, a stage manager informed Kamiya that she could enter the restaurant. The bodyguard next to her held an umbrella to protect Kamiya from the rain, and also blocked the reporter's shooting direction, blocking Kamiya's face. Working hard, Kamia was finally escorted into the restaurant safely.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Kamiya nodded secretly. The first thing that caught her eye was the photography track. After comparing the position of the lens and the height of the camera, anyone who has studied photography can figure out some tips. This is definitely made by an artist.

The wide-angle position slightly lower than the dining table was used to shoot a crowded restaurant, but the field of view was clear. I guess this person definitely has unique insights into the control of shooting techniques.

This lens was definitely not made by Mickey. Everyone in the industry knows that Mickey's shooting angle is not very good. What is great is only the language of the lens. In addition, he is insensitive to color. He can't make the scene look like blood after oxygenation. The dark red and orange-reddish lighting are uncomfortable tones, but they fit perfectly with the film.

After taking a look at the strong man playing with the camera, Kamiya knew that Lucas' position was the number one photographer and art director, so all this was definitely done by him. This also made Kamiya change her opinion of him. Lucas is indeed a real talent, not just a facade thug.

At the same time, Mickey and Kesha were discussing their respective positions and postures with the extras and co-actors on the scene. The discussion, which seemed to have uncertain answers, ended unexpectedly quickly, all thanks to Lu Ze's control of the storyboards. Delicate description, without such visual effects, they would not have been able to find the feeling so quickly.

Seeing Kamiya arriving, the creative staff present just nodded and said hello, without being overly enthusiastic. This way of getting along was also very comfortable for her. She pulled a stool behind the director's chair and sat down, waiting for Lu Ze's greeting. Appear.

"Each department should check the equipment again. Marcus, please stretch the wire on the left longer so that it doesn't trip anyone. Pull it toward me and it's in the camera. Dude, have all departments checked it out?"

"The camera crew has completed the inspection and everything is normal."

"The props team has completed the inspection and everything is normal."

"The lighting team has completed the inspection and does not need to debug again."

"The radio set is OK, the sound quality is very clear, no noise, no interference."

"Where's the art team? Is Lu Ze's makeup done well? Hurry up."

Under Mickey's constant urging, he came down from the second floor, wearing a black and white classic suit, with a younger face. From this point of view, he is in his mid-twenties. If the visual age of Europeans and Americans is used as the standard, Some people may believe that Lu Ze is eighteen years old.

"Lu Ze, are you okay?"

Lu Ze didn't speak, only made an OK gesture. He had read the script for a long time, and he still wrote the storyboards. Coupled with his abnormal script digestion ability and robot-like stability, Mickey's question was completely unnecessary.

Slowly approached the venue and sat at the same dining table with other actors. After Mickey notified all departments to take their seats, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. "The Past" had begun, so he was no longer Lu Ze, but The man named Parker Lee.

"Act 1 of "The Past"! Scene 1! Begin!"

The keeper shouted loudly, and the clapper board made a crisp sound. Under the watchful eyes of the entire crew, all the actors entered the state, including Lu Ze, or he was the one who entered the state the fastest. His personal emotions began to be introverted, and the character's emotions replaced his own. From closing his eyes to opening them, in just five seconds, he changed his soul.
