Chapter 3166 I Don't Rest

w    John Woo brought his crew to Los Angeles, to the ‘Dream City’. (As for the other actors, they are still receiving special training from Yuan Heping in Hong Kong. After half a month of special training, they will come to Los Angeles to meet up with everyone.

"Boss, this is really a miracle! Within a year, the city has begun to take shape. In another two years, I'm afraid Hollywood will be eclipsed by it." John Woo exclaimed.

At the beginning of the construction of the ‘Dream City’, John Woo came to see it once, but he and Lin Feng were strangers at the time, so he just looked at Lin Feng from a distance. But he didn't expect that a year later, he would come here again and become the first crew to shoot here. This life experience is really lamentable.

As for the other crew members, everyone was excited. As a practitioner in the film and television industry, these behind-the-scenes personnel will never be able to reach this place in their lifetime. In front of the screen, to enjoy the cheers of the crowd. So, for them, it is such a blessing to witness the construction of such a large-scale movie city from scratch.

Especially, this is a movie city built by the Chinese, an unprecedentedly large movie city, which is even more amazing!

"Hi, Wu, I finally meet you, a Chinese director. Your Wu style has given Hollywood a great impact. Even the bad script of "Mission Impossible 2" can be made into a popular blockbuster by you. You are really admirable!" At this time, an American man came over.

"James Cameron!" John Woo exclaimed. Although he is also a well-known director in Hollywood. But the man in front of him is the most famous director in Hollywood, a gold medal director. The difference in status between the two sides is just like his The gap between Hong Kong and an ordinary director is average.

This is not that John Woo is self-deprecating, but that he does have such a status. "Terminator". "Alien", "Titanic" and other blockbusters are all from James Cameron. The movies he shot, as long as they are named after him, are definitely a guarantee of box office success. Of course, more importantly, James Cameron has created many classic series of movies. He is an iconic figure in Hollywood.

In terms of global film development, Hollywood is definitely ahead of Hong Kong. Of course. The future may be hard to say. After all, the emergence of Lin Feng has reshuffled the global film industry.

"Wu, I have a month to give you. I will help you build the "Alien" scene with all my strength and give you all the help I can give you. . "Cameron said with a smile.

"Thank you, thank you!" John Woo said gratefully. As a gold medal director, he was able to give himself a month to help throughout the process. This was incredible in itself. Whether in Hollywood, Hong Kong, or other countries, a gold medal director, even if he had nothing to do. It was impossible for him to take a month to help other directors shoot a movie. And it was just a scene.

"Haha,

If you want to thank someone, thank Lin. He is my boss. If he speaks, I dare not not come." Cameron laughed.

John Woo knew that Cameron was joking. With his status, he would not be easily controlled by any production company. He said so, which only showed that in Cameron's heart, Lin Feng was a respectable friend. So he gave Lin Feng face like this.

"Hey, my play may take some time. I have another play to shoot for the time being, so I won't come. If you want to build a scene, call in advance and I will definitely be there. "At this time, another American man came over.

Steven Spielberg! John Woo shouted secretly.

He had just got off the plane and arrived at this ‘dream city’, and the two best directors in Hollywood gathered here. What does this mean? It means that Lin Feng had already arranged everything and was waiting for him to come and shoot. This shows that Lin Feng values ​​him, or that he values ​​himself. You know, if he can shoot “Infinite Terror”, then these two best directors in Hollywood can definitely shoot it. After all, in terms of experience in shooting blockbusters, they definitely have more experience than him. Spielberg has shot the epic war blockbuster “Band of Brothers”, and as for Cameron, “True Lies”, “Titanic”, and “Terminator”, which is enough to prove everything.

“Boss, thank you!” This time, John Woo was really convinced. Lin Feng had done everything, and there was no reason for him not to succeed.

“Haha, this “Infinite Terror” is the most difficult TV series in history. As an investor and producer, I naturally have to create the best conditions for you as much as possible.” Lin Feng said with a smile.

“Then guys, let’s get started!” John Woo shouted, and he was originally going to rest, but now he was excited and didn’t rest. Shooting the first episode early is the greatest reward for Lin Feng's trust.

"Haha, no hurry, no hurry. There's no hurry for this. Paul Anderson hasn't come yet. And his wife, Milla Jovovich, hasn't come either. If they don't come, how can you shoot the first scene of "Resident Evil"?" Lin Feng smiled.

"Then when will they arrive?" John Woo asked anxiously.

"Haha, Paul should be here tomorrow morning. The main thing is that Milla Jovovich has two film contracts recently, so her schedule is a bit difficult to deal with. She only has 15 days at most. So, she promised to come when the scene is built and can start shooting immediately." Lin Feng said.

"Okay, then wait for Paul to come, and we will build the scene immediately!" John Woo nodded. Although he was eager to start shooting immediately at this moment, he could only wait because the two most important people were not here.

Lin Feng smiled. John Woo was so excited, so once the filming started, Lin Feng believed that the efficiency would be very high.

"Um, boss, I think we should build the scene of "Opposite Sex" first. This should be possible. Otherwise, it will delay Mr. Cameron's time. Let's start working immediately!" John Woo suddenly turned his eyes and said to Cameron.

Lin Feng and Cameron looked at each other, and both showed admiration in their eyes. For a movie or a TV series to be successful, the most important condition is that the director must be very persistent and enthusiastic about the show. And now John Woo is so enthusiastic. This is a good thing, a great good thing.

"Director Wu, I also want to start working as soon as possible, but this time the filming is estimated to be in the United States for a long time. I think you and the crew should adjust the time difference first." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"But, I can't sleep at all now!" John Woo said helplessly. Now his whole body is boiling with blood, how can he sleep?

"Haha, but I see the crew is tired. So, let the crew take a rest first, we will walk around here, get familiar with the environment, and see where the scene is built." Lin Feng said with a smile.

Now the entire 'Dream City' is still under construction, and there are construction sites everywhere. Where to build the scenes needed for "Infinite Horror" really needs to be considered carefully. Fortunately, this 'Dream City' is large enough. If all the construction is successful, it will be as big as Los Angeles. Therefore, it is easy to free up some space to build the scene.

"Hi, Tom, this is the movie scene project we want to build here. Take a look and see where it is better to build it. Then let the workers cooperate." Lin Feng found the chief engineer Tom Wright.

"Boss, this 'Dream City' is divided into four major areas, Chinatown, Greek City-State, Ancient Babylon City, and Future City. These four major areas, these scenes happen to be spread across this huge area. I think it is better to build according to the area, which can echo the surrounding scenes. But boss, do you really plan to build it completely according to the movie scene, or just build a studio?" Tom asked.

"What do you mean?" Lin Feng asked.

"Haha, if it is completely in accordance with the movie scene, the amount of work will be relatively large, but after it is built, it will naturally be more useful. If it is a studio, then it doesn't make much sense whether it is built here or not!" Tom shrugged, "If it is built here, I suggest to build a real movie scene. Of course, the cost will be very high, but we can build it according to the importance of the movie scene. For example, those dispensable scenes, those unimportant scenes, those with large investment and low effect, build a suggested studio, and the rest build a real scene!"

"What do you think?" Lin Feng didn't know much about this, so he didn't speak.

John Woo frowned and thought about it.

"Mr. Wright, how long will this construction period be?" John Woo asked.

"Well, this, there are more than 50,000 workers here. If you temporarily stop working in other places and focus on building your movie scenes, the speed will be very fast. About, a movie scene can be built within 15 days!" Tom said after calculating.

"Ah! So fast!" This time not only John Woo was surprised, but also the other two gold medal directors were surprised. How could this be so fast? In the past, they usually had to spend more than 2 months to build movie scenes. It was impossible.

"Haha, this was impossible in the past. But now, construction is already an assembly line operation, and many processes have been compressed to the limit. Fast construction has long been possible. Moreover, there are all kinds of construction tools here, plus the site is open, all kinds of large equipment are easy to enter and exit, and there are no extra idle personnel, so it is very simple." Tom said with a smile.

After entering the 21st century, the construction industry has also embarked on high-speed assembly line operations. If you want to create a record in an open space, Tom has calculated that a 30-story hotel can be completed in a week at most, and it can reach a magnitude 7 earthquake. Of course, such a high-speed assembly line operation will bring a geometric increase in costs. Therefore, generally speaking, no one will choose such a high-speed assembly line operation. However, if you meet an investor who is eager for success, this becomes possible.

For example, in Dubai, almost all buildings are high-speed assembly line operations. Fast and stable. But the cost is very high!

15 days, good! Then we will wait and see! John Woo's eyes are full of expectations. After 15 days, the actors should all be here. (To be continued)
