Chapter 375: Mr. Lu Demonstrates Personally: No One Can Act in Movies Better Than Me! (2-in-1 Order)
Liu Mengyuan thought about it and continued to think:
“I think our movie can have multiple endings, just like the game “The End.”
Each time they watch the movie, the audience can choose a different path and experience different story developments and endings.
In addition, we can organize a 360-degree panoramic viewing, where the audience can sit on special seats and rotate freely to experience the scenes and characters in the movie in all directions.
This seat has built-in stereo sound effects, allowing you to experience the sound field in the movie immersively.
In addition, the seat also has a built-in tactile feedback function, which allows you to feel the vibration, scenery and touch in the movie, put yourself into the role, and experience the character's emotions and feelings.
Oh, right!
In terms of movie-watching routes, we can also customize the plot, and the audience can choose their favorite characters and plot clues before watching the movie.
We can even interact with movie reviews in real time, just like watching a live broadcast..."
Seeing Liu Mengyuan's imagination getting bigger and bigger, everyone was completely dumbfounded:
"It looks like we need special viewing equipment to watch this movie?"
"It's probably difficult to achieve technically."
"Even if it's technically feasible, the investment is estimated to be quite high. Is this... really okay?"
Although everyone was nervous, Lu Yu stood up and said, "I will do my best to help you."
"Hey, everything has a first time. Our film team doesn't have to be afraid of failure. Let's just go for it!"
……
In the following days, Sperberg's team has been studying Liu Mengyuan's plan in the studio.
That day, he was about to start shooting a sample film when suddenly, an employee came in from outside and said:
"Mr. Shi, the Hollywood team is here.
At the entrance of the studio, a black Maybach luxury car slowly stopped, the door opened, and a tall man stepped out. He was wearing sunglasses, his eyes were cold, and there was a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
When they saw this person, the Taoyuan Township employees remembered the information they had read before.
The director is Adam Stone, a well-known figure in the Hollywood film industry. He has directed many box office hits and was assigned by Paramount Pictures to supervise the filming of "The Last Stand". According to Paramount, the purpose is to ensure that the film can reach Hollywood standards.
Adam Stone was followed by a group of well-dressed assistants and executive paper figures. They all looked very arrogant, as if the whole world should revolve around them.
Among them was an assistant producer, holding a cup of Starbucks in his left hand, fiddling with his golden-parted hair with his right hand, and directing the hired porters to load and unload equipment.
Stenberg and other Utopia Pictures executives, who had been waiting at the door, shook hands with Adam Stone.
Adam just shook hands perfunctorily twice, then ignored Sperger and walked straight to the center of the studio.
An air of arrogance and confidence emanated from them. Adam Stone raised his chin and looked down at the crowd around him, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
The assistant producer next to him waved his phone and shouted:
"Are you from the Chinese staff? Quickly count the props and get them ready for Director Adam immediately! We're here to make a movie, not to waste time!"
This group of people stood there like emperors inspecting their kingdom, full of arrogance and dominance.
The people around Shi Bo sneered in dissatisfaction:
"Director Shi, it's just that he made a few crappy movies. What are these foreigners bragging about?"
Shi Bo shook his head: "Forget it, this cooperation was negotiated by President Lu and President Liu with great difficulty. We can't cause trouble. Let's cooperate if we can."
Inside the studio, with Adam's arrival, the atmosphere was filled with an oppressive tension.
After setting up all the equipment, Adam waved to Spohr and asked him to show him some sample videos of the current auditions.
Adam Stone pointed critically at the sample film on the screen, his brows furrowed and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and impatience.
"The lighting in this shot is too dark! There are many ways to create a doomsday atmosphere, and using only light is the most basic and amateurish method!"
Adam Stone accuses coldly,
"I simply cannot understand the level of your filming. How can such effects meet Hollywood standards?"
His criticism and dissatisfaction made the employees of Taoyuanxiang Film Studio feel extremely frustrated. It seemed that despite their recent hard work, they still could not meet international standards.
Adam continued to add, "In the narrow carriage, the angles of this shot are too rigid! It was shot just for the sake of filming zombies. You didn't consider the dynamics of the shot at all. How can this effect allow the audience to feel the tension and conflict of the drama?"
The assistant producer, holding a Starbucks in his hand, stood aside, taking notes with a pen.
At this time, the employees of the Zizai Studio group who were visiting the set looked at each other, also a little confused.
Zhang Fan adjusted his Mohawk hair and muttered:
"What the hell? These foreigners came in and started yelling without even saying hello?"
Lin Ying: "Should we notify President Liu and President Lu?"
Xie Ying: "Forget it, let's just wait and see. We can't bother Mr. Lu with everything."
……
In the following days, Adam Stone's sarcastic voice continued to echo in the studio.
Sperger had to try his best to cooperate with the other party's filming work. The scene in the studio was as busy as a vegetable market.
On this day, the studio was testing a set of shots inside the train car where Kitahara Kensuke and his companions were escaping from Osaka Station.
"Stop! Stop!" Adam Stone suddenly shouted.
All the staff stopped what they were doing and headed towards the source of the sound, only to see Adam Stone standing nearby with an unhappy look on his face.
"Director Adam, what's the matter?" Sberg hurried forward.
"These zombie actors aren't good enough. There are a few action scenes where you can't see any acting skills at all. I brought my own doubles and stuntmen this time. I want to use my own people!"
Sberg was secretly angry in his heart, are you trying to occupy someone else's nest?
He now completely understood that Adam just wanted to slowly erode Taoyuan Township's initiative in filming, and finally turn the film into a popcorn commercial movie that suits the tastes of North American audiences.
Mr. Lu has put a lot of effort into the development of "The Last Line", and Mr. Liu has also put a lot of effort into the filming cooperation.
What's more, the commissions for finding these actors to play zombies have already been spent.
If Adam wants to break these terms of cooperation, then he will never give in!
Sperger said calmly:
"Mr. Adam, this matter concerns the terms of our cooperation. Let's discuss it in detail. At least we need actors from both sides to appear on the show and give it a try."
Adam Stone smiled triumphantly and waved to his assistant to go and call his stuntman.
He knew that he was asking for an exorbitant price and would end up paying a low price.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Taoyuan Township can retreat.
The employees of Taoyuanxiang Films clenched their fists slightly. They had never seen such an unreasonable partner!
The reason why Adam was so arrogant towards Sberg was that he had investigated the information of Taoyuanxiang Films before they came.
In China, the team of Stewart is the real king of bad movies.
And the film's art director Liu Mengyuan is nothing more than a vase for the daughter of a big company.
To be honest, if Taoyuan Township had not offered such good conditions, they would not have been willing to cooperate.
Adam’s idea is simple: professionals do professional things!
Since Taoyuan Township is so unprofessional, it should retreat.
The makeshift team just needs to serve tea and water!
……
At this time, on the top floor of a luxury hotel in Hengdian, Lu Yu was lying comfortably on the big bed, watching TV programs while thinking about his next plan of lying down.
We can't let these guys tinker with things like "Godly Drama Director Simulator" anymore.
Just as he was thinking this, a system notification suddenly popped up in front of him: [Sperger and 120 other employees of Taoyuanxiang Pictures are angry and frustrated by Director Adam's arrogant behavior. Leisure points -3200]
Lu Yu jumped out of the bed.
what's the situation?
What the hell is this Director Adam?
He was confused for a moment, then immediately realized that the Paramount team must have arrived.
It seems that Adam did not treat Sperger's team well.
Lu Yu immediately became unhappy. I can let my employees do bad things, but you can't say they are bad.
I criticized them so much that they became autistic, and you guys are going to compensate them for the lost points?!
Lu Yu immediately called Li Hongmei: "Get the car ready, I'm going to the studio right away!"
……
It was noon at this time, and the atmosphere in the studio was extremely tense. The stage set consisted of a newly built dilapidated train car, and the surrounding ruins were piled up to create a doomsday scene.
Director Adam stood in front of the monitor, observing the angles with a serious expression, while his team members stood by, staring intently at the stage and giving instructions from time to time.
At this time, Lu Yu walked in.
He was wearing a pair of sunglasses, his hands in his pockets, standing aside and watching.
When Sberg saw Lu Yu come in, he felt like he had seen a savior.
"Mr. Lu, you're finally here. We've been having a hard time these past few days."
He began to list to Lu Yu all the major shortcomings and virtues of Director Adam.
Lu Yu nodded slightly. It was obvious from the harsh way he was deducting points that Sberg was indeed feeling uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but sigh that these directors from Hollywood were really full of personality and could find faults in everything. That was enough.
Asking someone like Spohr, who can only make a movie with a Douban score of 3, to meet your requirements is like asking a toddler to dance ballet.
On the monitor, a group of actors were simulating a zombie chase scene. Their faces were distorted, and sharp teeth were exposed in their hideous mouths, as if they really came from the end of the world.
"Crack!"
Adam suddenly raised his hand and shouted "Stop!" He yelled at the Japanese actor Kamiki Ryo who played Kitahara Kensuke, "You can't show fear at all. Your face only has one expression from beginning to end. Oh, what the hell!"
Lu Yu sighed. No wonder Adam was angry.
This Shenmu Liang was also the role that Lu Yu personally chose at the casting audition not long ago.
The reason is simple. This guy has a wooden face and all his expressions are very artificial. That's why even after so many years of debut, he is still a trainee idol.
Lu Yu couldn't bear to see Shen Muliang being scolded, so he thought for a moment.
The only solution now was to act as the team's MT himself and draw the hatred. So, he suddenly said loudly, "Haha, Director Adam, please don't embarrass this young man. Let me do it."
After saying that, Lu Yu took a big step and walked straight to the center of the stage. He unbuttoned his coat and signaled the staff to pause.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on Lu Yu.
Adam complained, "Don't interfere with the filming..."
Before he finished speaking, the assistant beside him whispered in his ear: "Mr. Adam, this is Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township Company."
"Oh……"
Adam's expression softened slightly.
After all, all the expenses of the Paramount team in China are borne by Taoyuan Township, so they still have to exercise restraint in the face of the financial sponsor.
Adam stood up and shook hands with Lu Yu symbolically:
"Mr. Lu, I'm glad you could come to the set despite your busy schedule. However... I'm currently giving crucial acting instruction. Do you have any questions?"
Director Adam's tone was filled with a hint of impatience.
Lu Yu smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over every detail on the stage.
"No problem," Lu Yu said slowly, "I just want to complete this shot myself."
Director Adam's team was stunned.
"Mr. Lu, did you also graduate from a film and television academy? Do you have any acting experience?"
"No."
"That……"
Lu Yu smiled faintly and said:
"Everything has a first time. Just like Director Adam, your team landed in China for the first time. We didn't understand the working methods of the Chinese team or the various studio rules, but you started to interfere with our work without any hesitation.
Compared to your familiarity, what does my personal performance on stage mean? "
Lu Yu's words were a dagger hidden in his smile, implying that he took himself too seriously!
Director Adam's face immediately turned green after hearing what the translator said.
Other employees were in tears.
Mr. Lu heard that we were bullied and is here to stand up for us!
"Mr. Adam, you don't have to worry. After all..."
His hands began to play the accordion: "No one knows how to act in movies better than me."
Now, in China, on the territory of Taoyuan Township, Adam couldn't get angry, so he could only force a smile with a trembling face:
"Then... that's fine."
I heard that all the wealthy bosses in China have a desire to perform, and I guess Mr. Lu likes it too.
I guess it'll be fine if you just hold your nose and watch him finish his awkward performance.
They put their tools aside, with an expression of amused people watching the show with their hands folded.
Shi Boge said worriedly, "Boss Lu, judging from their expressions, they clearly just want to watch the show. There's no need for us to go in person!"
Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter. I have my own plans."
Sberg looked at Lu Yu's back and felt choked up.
It's all our fault for being so incompetent that Mr. Lu had to endure this humiliation in order to stand up for us.
Hi! We must not let Mr. Lu down from now on!
As Lu Yu walked towards the stage, he kept muttering in his heart:
Have your own plans? I have a plan.
From the moment I stepped into this studio until now, I haven't taken even a single second of acting lessons!
but!
All this was part of Lu Yu's plan.
The reason why he came to the studio today was not only to stand up for his friend who was being bullied, but also to lead Adam's team astray!
After all, Adam is a director who has actually been nominated for an Oscar, and he is not on the same level as those directors of B-level movies.
What if under his strict guidance, Taoyuanxiang Film's performance has made great progress?
He must make sure that Adam's team is also led astray by him and falls into complete collapse!
Thinking of this, he cheered up and went on stage to perform!
