Chapter 842 846, Too Naive
“Director Sun, how do we make this movie?
Or you can put it this way, who of us is the director of the movie "The Man from Earth"? "
"There is no director!
You are all actors, and I am the photographer, and I am responsible for shooting everyone! "
"Director Sun, not bad!
It's a creative idea to bring together some of the world's most famous directors to star in a movie... It's an idea you can't think of.
But how do we calculate the remuneration for the film? "
"Two ways:
First, 200,000 US dollars per person, don’t be too small. After all, I am just using everyone’s leisure time in the afternoon.
The second is to get a commission from the box office, 2% per person, well, it is 2% of the total box office of the movie. Because we are all veterans, I can’t play the [box office net profit commission] trick with you. "
"Director Sun, where is the character?
How should you decide the roles you want to play in the movie? "
"Except for Mr. Tom Hanks playing the male lead, all other roles can be decided upon through discussion. Whoever likes the role can play whichever role.
If two or more people like a character at the same time, then we can also use guessing to decide. "
"Director Sun, as you said, there was no director during the filming of "The Man from Earth". So... how can everyone achieve a consistent and unified style during the performance?"
“The script I created has lines and a story outline, so everyone’s performances can follow the main line of the story.
Even if you want to improvise, it's fine as long as it doesn't deviate from the outline of the story. "
"Director Sun, where's the makeup? How do you do makeup? I heard that your crew has been on vacation these days."
"Aren't there Zeng Li and Julia Roberts in the crew? They can do everything like applying foundation and makeup."
“Director Sun, where’s the lighting?
A crew may not have props, sound recording, etc., but lighting is a very professional job. "
"Director Zhang Yimou was a very good photographer and lighting engineer before he filmed "Red Sorghum."

Country house dining table
It was extremely lively. Not only did everyone express their appreciation for Sun Hao's delicious pork belly, but they also discussed the upcoming movie "This Man is from Earth" very enthusiastically.
Compared with these people, Zhang Yimou, who was sitting outside the room, seemed quiet.
It's not that Sun Hao's poke meat doesn't suit his taste, but Zhang Yimou's English is not very suitable. After several years of training, he can understand it a little, but he can't speak it well.
Therefore, if you want to shoot with these world-class film directors today, you must memorize your lines in advance.
The English teacher is his young daughter-in-law Chen Ting.
"Hey, man, you really take every minute!"
"Hey, man, you really take every minute!"
…
Although it is a bit hard, Zhang Yimou is still interested. Being able to get together with this group of people to act in a movie is also an affirmation of his status in the industry.
But while he was learning English lines, Zhang Yimou felt something was wrong. He suddenly looked up and saw a pale face.
"Hiss..., damn!"
The frightened Zhang Yimou went out of the country to curse.
The person who came was obviously also frightened. He took a few steps back and held onto the car in the yard with his hands to steady himself.
But even so, when the visitor reacted, he hurried over to apologize.
"Sorry to frighten you..."
"I'm not scared, I'm not scared, Mr. Michael Jackson, I am your most loyal fan." Before Zhang Yimou could react, his young wife Chen Ting ran over and held the visitor's hand tightly with an excited look on her face. .
There is movement outside!
It alerted the people who were dining and chatting in the villa restaurant, so everyone ran outside.
When everyone saw that it was the singing superstar Michael Jackson standing in the yard, they were immediately a little confused.
Why is this big brother here?
"Michael, why are you here?"
Steven Spielberg and Michael Jackson are very good friends. Even recently, there have been rumors that Michael Jackson actually spent $150,000 to hire an African chief to curse Steven Spiel. Berg's early death... did not affect the friendship between the two!
"Oh..., I'm here to see Sun!"
Michael Jackson pointed at Sun Hao in the crowd, and then lowered his head shyly.
"Sun, I know you have signed a contract with Time Warner and will be filming the "Batman Trilogy" next year, so I came over to talk to you about the character [The Riddler].
Um... Also, I heard that you acquired Marvel and signed a contract last month.
Well, Sun, if not, you can package the Marvel company and sell it to me.
You know, I really like the superhero images in this company, such as Sandman..."
Eh…
Looking at the chattering music superstar Michael Jackson, Sun Hao secretly sighed. This man is actually a child who has not grown up. No matter how he behaves or does things, he is very innocent! ! !
However, complaints are complaints and pity is a pity, but Sun Hao still welcomed Michael Jackson into his home very enthusiastically.
Everyone is a guest!
Since we are here, why not sit at the filming site of "This Man From Earth"? You know, the soundtrack for this movie has not been decided yet? !
"Zeng Li..."
"Hmm?"
"Why do I feel that Director Sun Hao looks at Michael with ill intentions?" Julia Roberts whispered in Zeng Li's ear.
"How can it be ill intentions?
Sun Hao at most asked him to help with the soundtrack for the movie!" Zeng Li obviously knew Sun Hao better than others.
"Uh..."
Julia Roberts was the first to sweat when she heard Zeng Li's understatement.
Asking Michael Jackson to compose the soundtrack for the movie, is this the most? !
Although there was such a small episode, it did not affect the normal start of the movie "This Man From Earth". At one o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone finished lunch and drank two cups of coffee, they began to clean up the filming site.
………
"Action!"
Two cars stopped in the yard of the country villa, and the people sitting inside were all Tom Hanks' colleagues.
The first person to get off the bus was anthropologist George Lucas, who greeted Tom Hanks: "Hey! Man, you really make the most of every minute?"
"Yeah!" Tom Hanks shrugged.
"Do you need help?" George Lucas asked.
"Of course!" Tom Hanks pointed to the box under his feet.
George Lucas hurried over to help Tom Hanks load a large box on the pickup truck.
At this time, female professor Julia Roberts and professor James Cameron also got off the bus, followed by a young Chinese female assistant Zeng Li.
James Cameron came over with a smile and shook hands with Tom Hanks: "Aren't you going to tell us what's going on?"
"Well..." Tom Hanks thought for a moment and said, "I don't like saying goodbye!"
