Chapter 383 Meeting Harvey
In the original "Captain America" comics, Captain America became a super soldier after being injected with a serum.
However, injecting strength will be associated with drug abuse, which will cause some negative social effects. Therefore, in this movie, the American team needs to undergo some physical training first, and then take oral drugs, inject serum, and irradiate Vita rays to stimulate muscle growth. Complete transformation.
In the script, being exposed to Vita rays is described as a very painful thing. The stronger the energy of the rays, the greater the pain. It is simply unbearable for ordinary people, so during filming, Link needed to roar in pain.
“Turn it off! Turn it off!”
In the studio on set, Agent Carter heard Steve yelling in pain in the experimental cabin.
“Turn back, Mr. Stark, turn back, turn off!”
Dr. Erkins shouted.
Iron Man's father, Howard Stark, holds the control valve, preparing to reduce the intensity of Vita rays.
“No! Don’t close it! I can hold on!”
In the experimental cabin, Link gritted his teeth and shouted.
Stark continued to rotate the energy valve, adjusting the Vita ray intensity to 100%.
Boom!
A series of explosions occurred in the laboratory, and even the light in the experimental cabin became dim, and a burst of white smoke emitted.
Just when everyone thought the experiment had failed, the hatch opened, and Link was lying in the experimental cabin with his upper body naked, and all the muscles on his body were bulging.
Strong pectoralis major muscles, eight-pack chocolate abs, solid deltoid muscles and scapulohumeral muscles, like an awakened python, all dormant under the skin. When he moves his body, the muscle groups under the skin begin to slide, giving people a An extremely powerful feeling with great visual impact.
“Sexy!”
“Link is so strong!”
“The real Captain America is probably like this.”
The crew looked at Link's figure. Men were envious and women's eyes were filled with heat.
Director Johnston nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted. When selecting actors, body shape was also an important consideration.
Among all the audition actors, Link's muscles are not the biggest, but he is the most well-proportioned, the muscle lines are the most beautiful, and he looks the most powerful.
But for better visual effects, some time before the shooting, he specifically told Link to add more muscles. Afterwards, Link gained more than ten pounds, and now the effect looks very good.
“Link, you feel.”
Agent Carter rushed over and asked. As soon as she said the lines, she clapped her lips and showed an embarrassed smile.
“cut!”
"Again!"
“How are you feeling, Steve?”
Agent Carter looked at his strong and **** muscles with hot eyes. He stretched out his fingers to touch the two hot pectoralis major muscles, but stopped midway.
"Has grown tall."
Link stood up straight and panted.
“Looks too high.”
Agent Carter took out a piece of clothing and handed it to him.
“Cut!”
"next!"
The crew filmed in New York for more than ten days and came to Universal Studios in Los Angeles for filming in late October. Link also came with the crew and chatted with Harvey about cooperation.
The place where he met Harvey Weinstein was in an Italian cafe on Hollywood Boulevard. In addition to delicious Italian coffee, there are also various desserts, such as tiramisu cheesecake, golden bread, pigeon cake, Italian Milk and egg cups, etc., taste very good. When Link and Palm Beach Pictures production director Broadbent arrived at the coffee shop, Harvey was already there and chatting with director David Russell in the booth.
Seeing him coming, Harvey looked at him a few times with cold and deep eyes, but this state lasted less than a second. Harvey suddenly laughed, stretched out his arms and shouted to Link: "Link, you are better in person than in the photo." Younger and more handsome.”
Link smiled softly and said thank you. He saw the other person stretched out his hand, showing his big belly, as if he wanted to hug him.
He quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's right hand and shook it. He said that he liked the movies he made very much, praised him as the leader and godfather of modern movies, and also praised the other person.
Harvey laughed loudly when he heard this, and praised him for being young and promising, and mentioned all his titles.
The atmosphere when the two met was more harmonious than Link expected, which also made him more vigilant.
Harvey is not a good person. He is shrewd and cunning, does not follow rules, and has no bottom line in doing things. He is notorious in the film industry. He often uses almost fraudulent methods at international film festivals to buy many film sources, edit them and distribute them in North America to make money. .
A large part of the filmmakers who were deceived were from China.
A Chinese director named Feng once scolded him publicly, saying that after Harvey saw a movie at a film festival, he would offer a very high price to buy the North American rights, such as 10 million U.S. dollars, and pay a deposit of 200,000 U.S. dollars. , other film producers saw Harvey's high bid and withdrew from the competition.
Without a competitor, Harvey began to cheat and delay the transaction. After repeated urging from the filmmakers several times, he began to bargain, from the originally agreed 10 million to 1 million or even lower, and used it to help with public relations and Oscars. Awards' as bait.
At that time, filmmakers could not find a suitable distributor and were eager to monetize their films, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, suffering huge financial losses.
Harvey was so cunning, but he greeted him with a smile, so Link had to be very careful to deal with the following conversation.
After Link sat down, he handed over the cooperation matter to Producer Broadbent to discuss.
Bente Producer is a gold medal producer that Link hired from Warner Pictures at a high price. He is 50 years old this year. He entered the field of production in the early 1990s and has participated in the production of more than 40 films. His representative work is "Becoming Jane Austen" "Killers Have No Holidays", "Wind Kill", etc.
The other party is also one of the producers of "Scandal Project". He serves as the production director at Palm Beach Pictures and is very good at making movies.
Link was chatting with director David Russell. Director Russell seemed unaware of the conflict between him and Harvey. After meeting, he explained to him the reason why he did not cooperate with him.
The script idea for "Silver Linings Playbook" was provided by Bradley Cooper. Bradley thought it was good and approached him to ask for cooperation.
Bradley Cooper is a famous actor. He has participated in several well-rated TV series "Sex and the City 2" and "Double Spy 1, 2, 3". In 2009, he became a first-line movie star with "The Hangover". , and also collaborated with Link in "Valentine's Day".
Link nodded to express his understanding. He was not very interested in the male protagonist of this movie. He still had four or five movies on hand and was completely overwhelmed. He didn't want to add any more burden to himself.
In addition, as his net worth rises, he plans to only take on one or two relatively good movies every year after filming these movies next year. The rest of his time will be spent on training, managing link music, investing in movies, or making other investments, so as to strive for success in these years. Earn more capital.
“Broad, that’s it, I believe it will be a pleasant collaboration.”
Harvey, with his big belly, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Producer Bente.
“Yes, we also look forward to cooperating with you.”
Producer Bente laughed.
“Link, how are you doing? Do you have any other comments?”
Harvey grinned, looked at Link, and said meaningfully.
Link shook his head and said that he didn’t understand movies, so he only provided money. He, Bent, and Russell were responsible for the rest, hoping to make more money from this movie.
Harvey laughed, said yes, and pulled him to the side, asking in a low voice when he could return the information.
Link stared at Harvey's greasy face and said tentatively that all the information had been destroyed. Even if someone exposed it in the future, it would not be his problem. After all, he got this information from someone else. Not intentionally collected.
Originally, he thought Harvey would change his face on the spot and demand to end the cooperation, but he did not.
Harvey just narrowed his eyes and said with a smile that it didn't matter. He valued this cooperation more than the insignificant information.
Link saw the other party's attitude and became even more wary.
