MTL - The Growth of the Richest Man-Chapter 179 Filming "Teddy Bear"
Since June, in addition to the revision of Renren Mall and the launch of Douyin, another thing that has taken up his main time is the filming of "Teddy Bear".
In the movie "Teddy Bear", according to Mark Wahlberg's request at the time, he was still the male lead, because Wahlberg was not very famous at this time, so it was equivalent to asking Casting a not very famous actor to play the male lead, which made the investors of this film have great doubts, such as Zhang Yong's creditor Bruckheimer, who persuaded Zhang Yong to hire a Some famous starring actors, after all, investing 100 million yuan in a project is not a small investment. Let an unknown person play the role. In case of loss, it is still very distressing. Even if Zhang Yong doesn't know big stars, Bruckheimer can recommend a few for Zhang Yong.
But Zhang Yong knows that this movie Wahlberg is fully capable. Mark Wahlberg's parents divorced when he was a child, and his mother neglected to take care of Wahlberg. He dropped out of school and became a delinquent teenager. He often did some illegal deeds, and even went to prison. And the male lead in this movie is a bad boy who is ignorant and ignorant, smoking and drinking all day long, living a life of drunkenness and dreaming, and doing nothing every day. So for Wahlberg to play the male lead, it is completely to let him play the role, and there is no more suitable candidate than him.
The female lead was hired by Tom Ford, the assistant director of "Teddy Bear," and played by an actress named Ginnifer Goodwin. This actress is not very famous, but when Tom Ford made his own movie "Single Man" not long ago, he once cooperated with her. Tom Ford felt that this actor's temperament is still very good, and he is fully qualified as a male lead. No. The image of the goddess of love at first sight.
Male No. 2, although there are quite a lot of scenes, but after all, it is not as tired as Male No. 1. Tom Ford decided to play in person...
The key is that Zhang Yong wanted to use special effects to make that big and cute teddy bear, but the teddy bear company made a special production for this movie to have a better publicity effect for their company's teddy bear products. With a prop doll that has always been very realistic, as long as a little dwarf actor wears this doll, it is completely a teddy bear that has always been refined. The kindness of the Teddy Bear Company also made Zhang Yong less troublesome.
The films that Zhang Yong filmed before are actually small films compared to this film. In order to make this film well and make this film have some spectacular effects, Zhang Yong did not choose to shoot in a studio near Hollywood. The city where Hollywood is located is a big city with an inch of land and a lot of money. Because the city is too big, it is impossible to photograph the feeling of a decadent and bad boy living at home every day.
In order to be able to shoot this kind of nerd feeling, since the male lead is a bad boy, why don't we go to the most famous sin city in the world to shoot!
Las Vegas is the top of the four major gambling cities in the world and is a city centered on the gambling industry. If you're down and out and you have a few dollars left, you might turn around when you go to Las Vegas, and if you can't spend enough money, you might go to Las Vegas and experience the style of the homeless. Las Vegas is like this, one side is hell, the other side is heaven, and because it is based on gambling, the crime rate is also high, and it has become a "sin city".
Going there to shoot a movie is naturally a good location for shooting "Teddy Bear".
At the beginning of August, the filming of the "Teddy Bear" movie has entered the second half, and now there are only a few shots left. Now, a scene to be shot is the kidnapping of this "bad" children's toy teddy bear.
The teddy bear was kidnapped and rescued, but if it was just a simple photo, it didn't seem to be very shocking. Zhang Yong saw that the production budget was quite abundant, so he rented several real prop cars and went to Las Vegas. Go to the Wilderness Road west of Gasth to shoot some crazy racing footage.
Many cars are racing together, and in order to shoot well, it needs to be well coordinated. But it is more troublesome to coordinate, because Zhang Yong really did not expect that there would be no mobile phone signal in this place! However, this is a big desert, and there is no mobile phone signal. It seems normal. Anyway, no one will come here on weekdays. If someone does come, it will be just the same way, just drive straight past, and it will not take long. Even if you really need navigation, in the wilderness without mobile phone signals, GPS navigation signals can already be received.
Can't use mobile phone, can only use walkie-talkie. The distance between the cars of the drag racing is quite wide, so under the circumstance that the funds are very generous, Zhang Yong's crew bought several high-power walkie-talkies, otherwise the signal transmission quality of too long distances will not be very good.
"Car A, car A, please slow down, please slow down. Your speed is too fast~www.novelbuddy.com~ The chasing vehicles behind can't catch up and can't take pictures!" Tom Ford was instructing there, and car A was being captured. Chase the leading vehicle.
"Car C, car C, please drive a little to the left, please drive a little to the left. The position of your vehicle now blocks the car B!"
"C car received!"
…
One order after another, but Tom Ford found that the head car of car A seemed to not listen to the control at all, and did not answer a word. However, the rhythm of car A was controlled very confidently, and it did not cause too many problems. These shots were successfully filmed.
"Car A, I asked you to drive slower, why are you completely unresponsive?"
"As for Qi, Director, our walkie-talkie seems to have some problems except for some rhythmic current sounds, but nothing else. However, I just saw that other vehicles behind me couldn't keep up, and they would drop Slow down, and when the distance between the cars is too close, I will increase the speed. Director, I used to be a professional racing driver, and I still have the ability to control the distance.” The driver of car A said.
"How is that possible? These walkie-talkies are all the latest. When we received the goods in Las Vegas, we also tested them. There is no noise at all. How can there be such a current sound?"
The staff in car B replied for the driver of car A: "Our car's walkie-talkie also made a very obvious current sound, and I even recorded the current sound with my mobile phone."
Tom Ford took the mobile phone and turned on the recording. There was indeed a strong current interference. What was going on?
