Chapter 127: Add another 0


Chapter 127 Add a Zero
Throughout May, Wang Yang was writing the script and sub-screen script of "The Ninth District". In order to design some shots of the third part of "Human Extinction", he studied violent aesthetics, but most of the techniques are applicable to The picture during the battle, and the extinction of human nature does not require any beauty. He thinks that what he wants is blood, disgust, and intolerance, which makes people shudder at the sight. (Reading novels)
To this end, he opened his mind and allowed himself to think about the "devil"; he also consulted the data of torture in many countries around the world, the Nazi Germans of World War II, the Japanese army and other animals, and then he found that humans can really be so sick and extinct And suddenly realized the emotion of "killing humans". But in addition to designing the footage of the Wiggs massacre of the human army, he also has to design how humans can brutally study aliens.
When Vigers was about to be decomposed by MNU scientists, he struggled. He took a doctor and tried to escape, but the MNU security guards who came came ignored the doctor's life and death, and he killed as soon as he wanted to. But Vigers grabbed an alien weapon and fired indiscriminately before the security guards gave way. He fled the room, only to find a huge research room outside, the secret place of the MNU headquarters.
In the research room, there are adult aliens, children, and fetal aliens, who are dismembered alive, peeled and enema, and injected with various drugs that cause pain and despair; they are directly crushed by a special meat grinder, just For an experiment to refine DNA ...
These shots are important, not just for nausea, but for a little bit of accumulation of depression and anger in the audience. When the audience followed Wiggs' eyes, they scanned the tragic aliens in the laboratory and listened. Their screams, and the clear and blank eyes of a little alien child stare at each other ... From that moment on, the audience's position will change.
Wang Yang had no idea how he spent this time. His heart was full of depression, irritability, and anger. He often woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and Jessica, who was disturbed, could not sleep. He felt like he was going crazy. . The result of investing almost into himself is that he designed a lot of extinct humanity shots, and Vigers was killing the MNU army crazy.
He wants to have the "Ninth Zone" with these shots. The MPAA group of people will naturally not give the three "G" grades, absolutely R grade, and possibly -17 grade. In that case, he will have trouble Too.
During this time, he did not spend all of his time on the script, occasionally going back to the University of South Carolina to listen to lessons, and Jessica to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers game, and also to Santa Monica on the weekend. Play on the beach, otherwise you will really go crazy.
He also hired an art teacher to teach himself a lesson and re-study sketching systematically. His paintings are too "abstract". Previously it was no problem to shoot real-life movies; but now it is a science fiction movie. There are a lot of imaginations in this sub-lens script The pictures, many complicated "big scenes", all require the set designer and others, and the entire special effects team to clearly compose the picture, and the abstract painting can not be satisfied.
Therefore, many directors have very strong drawing skills, such as James Cameron, Tim Burton, etc. They all have the ability to hold personal exhibitions.
Wang Yang ’s ambitious goal is to hold his own painting exhibition in New York one day in the future, and it ’s not the kind of
beetle = bee
painting. As for the shape of the aliens in the "Ninth District", he has provided the blue sky studio with conceptual drawings and requirements, that is, "cool", "ugly", "vivid eyes", "looks like a human, but a look I knew it was an alien ", and at the same time he reminded me to combine all the characteristics of beetles and shrimps.
Although Blue Sky Studio is an animation company, the animals of "Ice Age" are also cute, but it does not mean that their style of painting is the only way. In order to design the 2D image of this alien group, Blue Sky sent more than ten image designers to start the design, and also invited an entomologist to help design a new alien that was
cool and ugly
. people.
Time has entered into June, with the arrival of the summer vacation, the hot summer vacation period has already arrived, "Mummy 2", "Shrek", "Pearl Harbor" ... The movie fans in the movie theater laughed and cried The media critics have praised and scolded, and the weekly box office list has also fought fiercely, but these have nothing to do with Wang Yang. The newspaper may not have the word "Magic Yang" for a long time, but on August 3, "Singing Youth 3" It will premiere and officially conclude the story of the trilogy.
The afternoon in Los Angeles was very hot. In Beverly Hills, Wang Yang was wearing a white T-shirt with a spaceship design and a pair of jeans. There were not many people on the street. He walked a while and came to a bright coffee. At the store, he asked Robert Downey Jr., who was released on parole two days ago, to meet here.
Entering the coffee shop, Wang Yang saw Donny in a blue shirt sitting over there. He greeted with a smile and said, "Hey, man." Donny stood up with a laugh, and spread his hands and walked up And smiled and said: "Dude" Under the eyes of a customer and a waiter, the two hugged firmly and patted each other's back.
"Man, do you still think you don't wear enough blue clothes?" Wang Yang smiled and looked at Downey up and down. He felt like in a gangster movie in Hong Kong, the "good brothers" in the two prisons met again after being released from prison. The scene; again like in "Shoshenk's Salvation", Tim Robbins saw Morgan Freeman ... Downey glanced at his clothes, shrugged, and said, "I am warning myself ... but it looks good? "
Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Well, it's good to see you outside." He punched Downey in the shoulder and walked to the coffee table inside. He smiled and said, "I know some birds "I can't hold it." Downey smiled and murmured, "My record is now 18 months."
The two came to a quiet coffee table and sat down for a while. Wang Yang drank his coffee and looked at Downey across from him, saying, "Routine, show your acting skills." There is an audition for the lead role in "The Ninth District". He laughed: "I have to know that you are not rusty." Between three imprisonments, Downey also starred in some small-cost independent films or medium-cost supporting roles, but he hasn't acted in nearly two years now.
"Rusty?" Downey pointed at his chest incredulously, and then waved his finger: "Who am I? I'm Robert Downey Jr., a natural performer. Young director, let's get started."
Because of the large number of special effects in the "Ninth District", its production cycle will inevitably take a long time. After a rough estimate, it is initially scheduled to be released at the end of the summer vacation period in 2002 and may have a chance to be released at the Christmas period. Too. And its pseudo-documentary, a series of viral marketing methods, there is a premise that the content of the story is absolutely confidential. Before the audience walks into the cinema, they will not know that there is "transformation", probably only know the story background, that is, aliens advent.
So, before signing the contract, Downey will not see the specific script just in case, but the audition only needs to be performed temporarily, let alone the long-famous "Oscar Nominee for Best Actor" , Try temperament routinely.
"Now you are going to kill something, they are all life, but you don't care, this is a trivial thing in your eyes, um ..." Wang Yang took another sip of coffee, to Tang who was listening seriously Ni continued: "It's also a thing to show off. Your friend is holding a camera while filming your" heroic "behavior, so you look at the camera and show everyone how you killed them."
Downey nodded, thinking quietly for a while, then suddenly laughed haha, with a teasing expression on his face, performing: "Take a good shot, you see, these poor little lives, they are today. On my lucky day, I will kill them very tenderly and tenderly to ensure that there is no pain ... "
"It's a little lighter." Wang Yang carefully observed Downey's performance and said his request: "Don't be so small Robert, don't be so handsome. You know this character is humorous and gentle, is a honest man who loves his wife and his family, ordinary. Some are stupid. You kill them for your credit. You will be appreciated by others, your father-in-law, your wife, your friends ... "
In Kafka's "Transfiguration", the protagonist Gregor is a kind-hearted, loyal person who loves his family very much and is very responsible. His father went bankrupt, his mother was sick in bed, and his sister had to go to school, so the whole family depended on him. He worked diligently and hardly to breathe, in order to pay off his father ’s debts and let his family live well. day. After turning into a beetle, Gregor also worried about his father's debts and made his family happy. He was a rare good man.
Wiggs is also such a small person. The only difference is that his pressure source is not money, but career achievements. His father-in-law is the president of MNU. Compared with his ninth district senior administrator status, his wife can say He was "married" to him. Vickers always wanted to make some achievements, wanted to be promoted, raised his head in front of his father-in-law, and made his wife proud of him.
He is also a good man, only the good side of other people's nature, kindness, love of family, and sense of responsibility are all contributed to the human beings that he thinks are good; and the bad side of other people's nature is all given to him that is dirty Alien in the trash. But when he began to transform, just as Gregor was abandoned by his loved ones, he was also ruthlessly abandoned by his family and the entire human society.
So he was lonely and struggling, but he still regarded himself as human, and still had human selfishness and weakness ... But in the end, he abandoned human selfishness and weakness, and gave the alien Christopher the good side of humanity- Füssen will kill the "Own Self (Human Army)".
This is a "psychological transformation" after the transformation of Vigers' body, but before that, he was still a small person. And Downey ’s interpretation is a bit too bohemian. Although a character is shaped by the actor ’s own understanding, the same is true of Wiggs, but one thing is very important, that is, this man ’s bad, not because it is like a bald head. A simple racial aversion like the colonel "would like to kill all aliens."
Of course Downey has n’t read the script yet, so Wang Yang directly asked how to act, to see if he can perform that kind of effect and temperament, if there is no problem.
"OK, I know." Downey stopped and he brewed for a while, his eyes narrowed happily and smiled excitedly: "Look at these lives, if you want to kill them, just like I press this button like this. "He did hand movements in a simulated way, not looking at those lives at all, and smiled at the camera:" They will all die oh, my baby always says that Very handsome. "
Wang Yang nodded his head and deserved to be a "born performer." Downey realized that it was too fast, and he immediately grasped the main point of excitement. Haven't read the script and long-term feelings. The martial king, the Holy King, made the sacred king, and the night will kill the seal, the throne. The Shaozhou Zhou royal family martial Qiankun will kill the Immortal throne in the night to seek the devil Ao Nine Chongtian the strongest abandoned This effect is already very good. He smiled and snapped his fingers, saying: "CUT is good. Robert, the next important part."
That is the pain after the transformation of Vigers. After thinking for a long time, Wang Yang said slowly, "Man, for some reason, you have been abandoned by the whole world. Everyone who knows you and does not know you hates you. Some people want to kill you." He thought about the dream of becoming a big beetle and gritted his teeth and said: "Including your father-in-law will also shoot you, your friends, your beloved wife do not believe you ... you are in pain, you want to come back, You want to come back "
Downey was drinking coffee in silence, thinking about his drug addiction in his heart, and was abandoned by the whole world? The person you love no longer believes in him? He remembered Sarah ’s choked voice ten years ago:
Let ’s break up, Robert, you ’re not the right dress for me ... I thought I could change you, but the truth is not good, I ’m fed up.
He remembered five. Years ago, his ex-wife Deborah told him "Robert, I'm sick of our divorce, Indio will follow me ..."
"Why don't you believe me, I will change" Downey's blank face is full of helplessness, loneliness and anxiety, and he scratched his hair and said, "I will change, don't give up on me . Why do n’t you believe me, why ... "
Watching him perform alone for a long time, Wang Yang suddenly laughed and shouted: "CUT is very good, the routine is very good." There is no doubt that Downey played very well, he played the characteristics of Wiggs, just compare It's just handsome, but he can shape his own Vigers. The only concern was the problem of drug use, but when he was on Lake Island, he had already chosen to believe Downey, and believed that the old guy would be free from drugs.
"So I got this character? I can't stand it." Downey wiped his eyes with a smile and asked frowning again: "What's his name? Wouldn't it be Robert?"
Wang Yang shrugged unanswered, pulled out a pen and a small book from his pocket, wrote a series of numbers on the paper, and showed it to him, seriously: "Your pay, how about? "Donny took a look at it, and said with a smile:" Fantastic Yang, this is not in compliance, maybe you should ask my agent to discuss the issue of remuneration. "He looked at the numbers on the paper and said:" A 2 and 6 Zero, which is 2 million. "
He smiled awkwardly and nodded: "It's really generous, I have no problem; I think my agent will agree."
"OK, yes." Wang Yang again wrote a number on the notebook with a pen, and said seriously: "Donny, I believe you can get rid of drugs, but I also have to consider it for the company, the crew and myself, so if we After signing the contract, there will be such a contract. "Downey already understood what he was talking about, and laughed indifferently:" I absolutely understand. "Wang Yang pushed the book to him and said," If you touch drugs again, When you were arrested and returned to Lake Island to go to jail, you delayed the filming and damaged the reputation of District Nine. You have to pay this amount. "
I saw 10 million written on the paper. Downey glanced at it, then shook his head and smiled, saying: "No, this number can't add a zero." He reached over and took Wang Yang's pen. A zero circled, said: "100 million."
"Robert, you don't need this ..." Wang Yang smiled and looked at the spirited man opposite him, he could feel the martial arts, the Holy King, the Holy King, the Holy King, the Night Kill, the God Throne, the Throne, the Demon King, and the Nine Heavens. Zhou Clan will kill God God Seal Throne at night The Indian throne begs for the most powerful determination to abandon the young and big Zhou royal family to that guy. Downey spread his hands and smiled, "What? Man, don't change my mind, so the threat to 'Old Robert' will be much greater." Wang Yang laughed and said, "I didn't intend to change, Just one hundred million Roberts, I hope you will not lose it, otherwise I will laugh to death. "
"Boy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You won't get it; and one hundred million, how can I have so much money? Then I have to apply for bankruptcy directly." So, Donny laughed, and the two laughed. After a while, he proposed again: "It's too stuffy, magical, let's go to the bar for a drink. Well, it was only in the afternoon ... the bar at night was wonderful."
Wang Yang smiled refusally and said, "No, I can't drink any other liquor except beer. It will go crazy when I drink it." He shook his head mockingly and smiled again: "And I have a show tonight, and Jessie Card goes to the Lakers game. "Downey shrugged.
Now that the NBA has reached the finals stage, the Lakers VS Philadelphia 76ers, and his beloved Warriors don't have to make the playoffs this season, bottom in the Western Conference in the regular season ... Fortunately, this year's return to the top 8 of the elite, Despite losing by 10 points to Duke University, which finally won the championship; but the sweet 16 LA lost 12 points and won 2 points.
The two then chatted for a while, and then left the coffee shop to go home. Looking at Downey, who walked a few steps away, Wang Yang smiled and shouted: "Man, drive carefully, don't be drunk." Downey over there looked back at him and suddenly smiled: "Hey, if I were Gay, I will love you. "
"Shit" Wang Yang immediately frowned and said with a smile: "Some people just want to be scolded by others, old man"
