978 What a brain hole
Beverly Hills s
This villa was given to Sun Hao by Harvey Weinstein in 2002 and is currently registered in Zeng Li's name.
According to the work plan drawn up by Sun Hao, the crew will shoot the exterior scenes in Los Angeles for about two months, and then move to the mainland island city to shoot the scenes in the studio in the Oriental Film Capital.
Therefore, Sun Hao did not choose to stay in the hotel like the crew, but directly asked Tom Cruise to drive him here.
Very bearable!
On the way here, Tom Cruise just asked, "Director, where are you going?" and then didn't speak again, and Sun Hao also understood what he meant.
This handsome guy, who is extremely famous in the international film industry, has already entered the role in advance, because the crew first has to shoot the third part of the "Batman Trilogy" - The Dark Knight Rises!
In the plot of this film, it has been 8 years since Batman disappeared into the night, and he also transformed from a hero to a fugitive who had to live on the run overnight.
Since you are a fugitive, you should be silent!
"Hmm..., very good!"
When he arrived at the door of the villa, Sun Hao opened the door and got out of the car. The moment he took off his luggage, he gave Tom Cruise a thumbs up.
"director…"
"Um?"
"Based on the character setting in "The Dark Knight Rises," I couldn't be excited, but I couldn't help it. The world's number one commercial film director praised me for my good preparation. I must have
means..."
At this point, Tom Cruise stopped, and then grinned at Sun Hao.
"Ha ha…"
Seeing this situation, Sun Hao laughed.
Amid Sun Hao's laughter, Tom Cruise's expression turned cold again. He waved to him, said goodbye, and drove away in his silver retro sports car Porsche 928.
Tom Cruise, who gave it away, left.
However, Sun Hao did not enter the house, but stood at the door of the villa and waited quietly...
It didn't take long, less than five minutes, when a huge red Lincoln Navigator sped up from behind.
"Hi, director, are we meeting again?"
The thick-lipped beauty Angelina Jolie stopped the car steadily in front of Sun Hao, then lowered the window and leaned on the window to greet him.
"Yes, what a coincidence!
However, you do speak Chinese well, did you learn this sentence from Jiang Wen?"
"Not any more!
When I heard Jiang Wen said that you liked Chinese-speaking foreign actresses very much, you specially hired a Chinese tutor for yourself." At this time, Angelina Jolie was very honest, but when she said this, the beauty suddenly changed her mind.
Look, he lowered his voice and said:
"Director, I often pay attention to your Chinese entertainment gossip news, and I found that you have at least three or four lovers outside, but none of them are from abroad.
So, I guess, you probably don’t like to hear a woman say oh my god when you are working, but you like her to say brother in Chinese, how great are you?"
puff…
After hearing Angelina Jolie's words clearly, Sun Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
I thought this thick-lipped beauty would talk to me about some Hollywood gossip, but I didn’t expect that she would analyze this very seriously...
Damn it, I have to say, this beauty has such a big brain!
"director…"
"Um?"
"Let me ask you, do I want to play Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Then do you want to see my preparations?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Just let me play Catwoman in your house, um..., and I can also say in Chinese that brother, you are great!"
At this point, Angelina Jolie's eyes suddenly became charming, and her sweet tongue gently exposed the tip of her tongue from her red lips.
"Well, let's forget it..."
Sun Hao hesitated before pushing his luggage into the house.
"Pfft..."
Looking at Sun Hao's back, Angelina Jolie smiled softly, then stepped on the accelerator, and the huge red Lincoln Navigator disappeared into the street.
……………
Someone once said that what Hollywood actors fear most may not be directors and producers, but insurance companies.
In fact, this statement is not unreasonable!
An important part of American film insurance is cast insurance. If an actor or director is absent from filming due to injury, illness or other reasons, the insurance company will pay for the additional losses incurred in completing the filming.
Sun Hao's most loyal partner, Allianz's film insurance company Fireman's Fund, insured more than 80% of Hollywood movies in 2003, and it wrote in its 2003 evaluation report that a movie cost US$100 million.
If a movie stops production for one day because an actor is sick, it can receive a compensation of US$1 million.
Cast insurance, as a standard feature of every movie, is also the largest expense in a movie insurance. The premium is charged at 3%-5% of the insured amount. Once the movie is stopped, the insurance company will bear a huge responsibility.
Therefore, in advance, insurance companies will carefully evaluate the risks of a certain film project, from the script to the producer to the director to the crew to every actor in the crew. If any of the risks is too high, then sorry, insurance
The company will deny coverage…
But such an iron rule is completely ineffective when it comes to Sun Hao.
The scene where the school bus crashed into the building had to be shot in real life, so it didn't matter, as long as it was covered by insurance.
When walking a tightrope between two buildings, the clown cannot use a stand-in. Hong Kong superstar Leslie Cheung does it in person. It doesn't matter, as long as it's underwritten.
Airborne from a transport plane, British action star Jason Statham couldn't use a stand-in and went into battle entirely in person. It didn't matter, as long as it was underwritten.
There was a chase scene that required the use of 200 vehicles, including 50 stunt cars, and the most thrilling scenes were shot live on the most prosperous Las Vegas Strip. It didn't matter, it was covered by insurance.
The scene of the bombing of the plane..., wait, don’t ask anymore, as long as it is a movie directed by Sun Hao, it will be directly insured.
If you ask why?
Damn it, is there any film director in the world who dares to take an insurance company to publicly rob a rich man in a certain place, well... To be precise, it's the Tsai family in Taipei.
The Cai family’s assets were sold at a low price. Fireman’s fund made a profit of US$70 to 80 million from this single transaction alone. This feeling is simply not very satisfying!
However, having said that, the procedures that need to be followed still need to be followed.
For example, in order to achieve the "safe and controllable state" required by insurance, as soon as filming starts, the insurance company will send a medical team and loss-control reps (loss-control representatives) to the set to conduct risk monitoring on the set at any time. No risk can be escaped.
Look out for the insurance company.
January 27, 5:30 pm
The street lights on both sides of Sunset Avenue had just been lit, and Sun Hao had just arrived, and two people immediately greeted him.
"Hello director, I am Paul Clinton, the vigilance representative of Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, and this is my assistant Sophia.
During the filming of "Batman Trilogy", the two of us were with the crew throughout the whole process, and oh, yes, there were also two teams of personal doctors on call at any time."
"Do you know the rules?"
Sun Hao, observing the traffic conditions on Sunset Boulevard, asked casually.
"Know!
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t say what you shouldn’t say, treat yourself completely as an invisible person, and if you talk too much, you will be kicked out of the crew immediately.” After the young man named Paul Clinton finished his report, he saluted Sun Hao.
present.
"Haha..., let's go!"
Sun Hao laughed and waved his hands.
"Actually, you don't need to make yourself so nervous. There are safety risks in our crew. You still have to say what you have to say. If you can point it out in time, I will give you a bonus privately."
"Hey, how many can there be?" The young man smiled and rubbed his hands.
"More expensive than asking your uncle to give a speech!"
Chapter completed!
