Meiman: Filming can make you stronger

Chapter 2 The New Story of Apollo

Andy understood it. Although Satana is the daughter of the Lord of Hell, it seems that the skill tree is wrong. The charm is fully loaded, and the strength is low. Go, abruptly dropped her from more than three meters to 1.7 meters.

But the lawn of Andy's house was almost completely destroyed. Seeing that the heather tree he took care of was about to be affected, Andy was in a hurry.

"This skull hero, stop playing and send her back to hell!"

Probably understood Andy's words, Ghost Rider dragged Satana over.

"look into my eyes!"

The skull's head burst into flames, and hellfire also appeared in Satana's eyes.

"No!"

In less than ten seconds, Satana's screams stopped, her neck tilted, and she went GG.

"The devil should not appear in the world."

The skull spoke again, and the hellfire burned on Satman's body along the iron chain, and was burned to ashes in an instant.

It seems that Satana didn't come here in real body, otherwise high-level demons can't be afraid of hellfire after all.
After burning Satana, Ghost Rider turned his skull to Andy. Looking at his flaming eye sockets, Andy's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered throwing firecrackers in the toilet when he was a child, staring at girls in middle school, registering as a member in college, and fishing in troubled waters after work.

"You are innocent."

This sentence awakened Andy from his memories, and he realized that he had just been tried by the Ghost Rider.

Knocked!

"Are you Johnny Blazer?"

Johnny Blazer has been reported by many media as Ghost Rider, but he is not the only Ghost Rider, so Andy has doubts.

But Ghost Rider didn't say a word, just fell to the ground in a daze, and then the fire went out, and a comatose white man appeared on the spot.

"Isn't this Cage?"

I don't know if it's because of the existence of Johnny Blazer, but the star Nicolas Cage does not exist in this world.

In the comics, Johnny is a motorcycle acrobat. In order to save his father, he signed an agreement with the demon lord Mephisto and became a ghost rider. The most important task is to bring evil spirits to the hell where Mephisto lives. soul.

Therefore, Ghost Rider's pursuit of bad guys is often influenced by Mephisto's will, not to do good deeds, but Johnny himself became righteous later, and took the initiative to assume the responsibility of eliminating evil.

And Johnny's younger brother is also a ghost knight, but the spirit of revenge possessed by Johnny is possessed by the ancient demon Zatanos, which is more powerful than other ghost knights possessed by the spirit of revenge.

In the movie, Johnny would be weak and lethargic every time he transformed, so Andy put him in the guest room and didn't care about it. His Harley motorcycle was a bit interesting, and Andy rode the fried street for a few laps.

Andy's living room the next morning.

After Johnny finished eating a large piece of steak, Andy asked, "Johnny, how did you find out that Satana is a demon? After all, our place is very remote."

After taking a big sip of Coke, Johnny replied: "I didn't discover it, but Mephisto discovered it. I will be influenced by him to become a ghost rider and rush to the place he perceives. In the middle process, I can only Make a note of it."

"So, do you remember my memory when you stared at me?"

Johnny shook his head: "I can't see it. I can't perceive everyone's memory, but the eyes of judgment will perceive your perception of your past experience. If you feel guilty if you do evil, if you don't do evil, you will be fine." crime."

This. This skill has a big flaw. As long as I do evil and then hypnotize myself and say that I am right, won’t I escape the eye of judgment?
"Well, anyway, you helped me a lot by sending that demon to hell last night, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Hearing what Andy said, Johnny said embarrassedly: "Then, without repaying in the future, can I stay at your house for a few days?"

Uh.
What Andy was talking about in the future was that after he was so powerful, it would be terrible to recruit a ghost rider into the house now, the lawn repair fee is really not cheap.

"Of course, Johnny, you can live wherever you want, but once you want to transform, it's best to go to the road or the house next door."

"That's great Andy, which room do I live in?"

Andy is really convinced by this Ghost Rider, at least he is a stuntman, but he is as poor as Tobey Maguire's version of Spider-Man, but at any rate he is the first superhero that Andy knew and saved him, Ann Di also took him in.

It is said to be a villa, but it is somewhat different from domestic ones. It is more like a two-storey large house. The first floor is a study, dining room, bathroom and garage, and the second floor has three rooms and a living room.

Andy arranged a room for Johnny and saw that he didn't even have a mobile phone, so he took him to the Apple store to get a mobile phone.

Of course, it's not purely showing kindness. Andy felt that it might be too late to call him to send an email in case something happened, so it would be more convenient to have a mobile phone.

After explaining to Johnny, Andy drove to the Sacred Valley studio to shoot "Apollo in Love" today.

"Andy, you're finally here! My crew postponed it for a week to wait for you. Do you know what a week means to a crew like ours!"

The director and producer is named Thomson, and he is also the owner of Red Bird Film Company. There are a lot of such leather bag companies in the Sacred Valley.

Thomson was very dissatisfied with him, after all, a week is definitely enough to shoot a movie.

"Tom, don't get excited, I'm here to negotiate."

Thomson was surprised: "Negotiation? Fifty thousand dollars is already the top salary here! What else do you want?"

Top Hollywood movie stars start with $2000 million in remuneration, and Andy is no match for those, but $10 is definitely considered a first-tier salary in the Sacred Valley, because the cost of a movie is at most $20 to $[-].

"That's right, I hope the story line in this movie will be more perfect, plus some special effects."

Tom couldn't believe his ears.

"Who do you think you are! Schwarzenegger Terminator!"

Andy hehe: "Don't be so irritable, Tom, I can invest, as long as I add some special effects and the main line to highlight the flavor of Greek mythology, I am willing to invest 20 US dollars."

$20?
Thomson only earns 5 to 50 yuan for a single film, and most of them only earn 20 to [-] yuan. This sudden [-] US dollars definitely saved his profits.

"Are you crazy? We're making romantic art films, not Hollywood blockbusters!"

Andy nodded with certainty: "I think that if we want to be bigger and stronger, we must do something different, otherwise we will be compared by Japan and South Korea sooner or later."

In fact, Andy is of course strengthening himself for the fragments. After experiencing the incident of Satanman's courtship failure last night and turning into a demon, Andy feels that he can no longer work hard to make online dramas or something.

Direct adaptation of ready-made ones, rough and effective!

Are art films also films?

Thomson thought for a while and said: "You can invest 20 yuan, but the maximum is 10 yuan for special effects, and I want 10% of online and offline sales, I can't ask for more!"

Don't think that special effects are very expensive. It is impossible to ask for too gorgeous in this kind of movie. It is very cheap to simply add some flames, lightning and holy light. the concept of.

If the investor and style are changed, the story must of course be rewritten.

The original plot is the story of Apollo and Hera, Artemis, Leto and Aphrodite's small scenes, but now it has changed.

Apollo first had to defeat Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, then had a story with Aphrodite, and then failed in the battle with Ares, because he was too seriously injured and was taken care of by his family Artemis and Leto for a while Time, then drove the sun chariot to defeat Ares, and finally fought Ares' mother Hera.

Some scenes Andy didn't even have to think about the script, but some scenes also involved green screen special effects, which really took a little thinking.
