Meiman: Filming can make you stronger

Chapter 28

"The mirror used by Queen Victoria can be maintained with olive oil, but it can't be stained with blood."

While driving to Los Angeles, Andy suddenly had a question. Although Constantine came from a magical family, his parents were ordinary workers. Why didn't he sell some antiques to improve his life?
So, looking at the wooden box on the passenger seat, Andy frowned.

Constantine's purpose is to establish a connection with Fantastic Heroes for his use, so Zha Kang will not be too pissed off Andy before meeting Fantastic Heroes.

So Andy didn't doubt that the mirror inside was a fake, at most it changed from the one used by Queen Victoria to the one used by Victoria's cook, which didn't hinder its value.

What Andy is most worried about is that Kang Kang stole this mirror from somewhere, which will easily bring Andy troubles later.

Zha Kang is famous for killing and burying his teammates, and never blinking an eye when he cheats his teammates.

"I hope this product is reliable, and don't let my brother lose face."

There are also many R-rated movies in Hollywood. This time, Ding Du was called to give some kind of "virtuous art seminar", and the two met at a business club in Beverly Hills.

Through the glass door of the meeting room, Andy saw an elderly fat man looking at the documents, and a beautiful woman with a big earring next to him was talking to him.

Because it was the appointed time, Andy directly opened the door and said hello, "Hello, Mr. Ding Du, I'm Andy Huang."

"Hello Andy, I finally see you!"

Ding Du saw Andy was very enthusiastic, stood up and shook hands with Andy.

"Andy, this is my secretary, Xin Qiya, maybe you've seen her before."

Ding Du blinked his eyes when he spoke, the old man is still a bit skinny.

Andy chuckled, "Of course, the female secretary in "Letterbox" turned out to be a real person."

Xin Qiya also took the initiative to shake hands and said, "I'm very glad to meet you, Andy. After seeing your work, Ding Du has been praising that San Fernand finally has a good work."

The female secretary shook hands very warmly, and Andy liked it very much.

But San Fernand is the gathering place of the art film industry in the entire United States. He is still quite proud of being so despised by Ding Du, but if Ding Du said so in public, Andy would be happy, and he will walk sideways in San Fernan from now on .

"So let's get straight to the point, Andy, about all your opinions on this work, the focus is on the action design and special effects you said."

Andy nodded and started his speech.

"There are several reasons why Greek mythology is so widely spread. One is that there are many records handed down, unlike Norse mythology, which is passed down by word of mouth. In addition, it is very well integrated with history, allowing many peoples to have The origin of the source gives its nation a natural divinity, and the Greek gods are just ordinary people with superpowers, so that ordinary people can see themselves."

"So, Greek mythology is worthy of filming as a film and television work, and because of the chaotic relationship, it is naturally suitable as an art film, but the script you designed has power and men and women, but if the most important divinity cannot be fully reflected, then Greek mythology will be lost. The essence of it is the same as the "Roman Empire Love History" you made before."

"Because this is mainly an art drama, the key action scenes and special effects may not be too many, but they must be very exciting. This is the real script of Greek mythology."

"In terms of action design and special effects, I think you should know that I have certain requirements after reading my works. The actions in it, especially the special effects, are all determined by me, but the special effects are not perfect because of financial reasons, but you have to believe me. Aesthetics, with enough money, I will do better."

"The most important thing is that I can only charge a symbolic 20 U.S. dollars for the action director."

Ding Du's movies are all hot sellers, and he can raise money, so Andy dared to speak.

Ding Du nodded: "What you said is also what I think. I have raised 1000 million US dollars for this movie, and at most I can squeeze out a budget of 100 million for special effects. I need to see your design plan before I can decide whether to do it or not. .”

"No problem, I will hand it over to you within half a month."

Andy is not a professional action designer, so of course the other party will be more cautious. Andy just came up with a design plan, which is very simple. It is even reasonable to spend [-] to [-] dollars in advance to make a small scene, because Andy believes that the art film master Among them, I definitely know special effects the most. Unless Ding Du doesn't do it, he must find himself.

"Okay, Andy, no matter what, your actor asked me to sign it. If it's convenient, Xin Qiya has already prepared the contract."

Xin Qiya took out the contract, and Andy began to look at it seriously. The salary is 30 yuan, but the crew is responsible for all of Andy's accommodation and transportation in Italy. Because the filming location will be filmed in Rome, Andy will go to Italy in October Shoot live action.

The liquidated damages for both parties is 10 US dollars, and there is a special note that some fruit scenes need to be filmed. If a double is used, the film salary of 5 US dollars will be deducted.

After reading it, Andy raised his head and asked, "I want to ask, who are the actresses I work with?"

Whether you want a substitute depends on how the other actress looks.

Cynthia replied: "Currently signed, Athena is played by Anna Galena, Aphrodite is played by Claudia Cole, Hera is played by Anna Kinskaya, Muse is played by Ana Amelati will play, and Artemis will be played by me."

It's all heavyweight!

"Okay, I don't need a stand-in."

After signing his name readily, the two sides shook hands, and Andy's art film career finally took another step forward!
Declining Ding Du's invitation to participate in the seminar together, Andy came to the coffee shop next door to the first time he met director Slade. This is also a business club, where he made an appointment with the people from the Monroe Collection.

In the room, Andy knocked on the door for less than three seconds, and the door opened.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

Andy and the other party were surprised, but they were old acquaintances!
The other party was actually the tall, fit woman whom Andy had suspected in the cafe downstairs last time.

Today she is wearing a white shirt and black skirt, a Chanel belt, still big earrings, hair ponytail, still so beautiful,

"I'm Andy Huang, may I ask who you are?"

When Andy stretched out his hand, the other party obviously hesitated, but he shook hands back and said, "My name is Diana Prince, and I am an appraiser at the Monroe Collection in Washington."

really!

Diana Prince is the name of Wonder Woman. Fortunately, she hasn't changed her name since she came to the outside world during World War I.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Andy said hehe: "The last time I saw you, I thought you had an extraordinary temperament. I didn't expect you to be an expert in ancient cultural relics."

Hearing what Andy said, Diana had a complicated expression and replied: "I didn't expect Andy Huang to be you. Maybe we are destined. I received a piece of jewelry from your ex-girlfriend before. You are really good enough." generous."

Andy's ex-girlfriend?
"Sorry, you might be mistaken, I've never had a girlfriend."

This is real.

Diana frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "An ancient Ottoman crown, your ex-girlfriend said you gave it to her."

"Felicia!"

Andy finally understood what was going on, and immediately gritted his teeth.
