v2 Chapter 853： The jokes in Internet spree

Back then, the marriage of Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch was never favored. Many people believed that it must be a short-lived marriage. It is not difficult for anyone who knows Wendi Deng to find that the growth process of this woman is A study guide on how to use the body to help men climb up.

There are many speculations about why Rupert Murdoch married Wendi Deng, and most of them are for the Chinese market.

Unfortunately, at that time Murdoch did not know enough about the Chinese media market, and the Chinese media market would not treat him differently just because he had a Chinese wife.

On the other hand, Wendi Deng, this woman is ambitious. To marry Rupert Murdoch is far more than just wanting to be the wife of a billionaire, but Murdoch has enough defense against her. Wendi Deng can not enter the decision-making level of News Corp. , Even the two children only have a trust fund without any equity.

In fact, it is not difficult for people who have dealt with this couple to see that it will be a matter of time for them to part ways.

But no one thought that things would have such a dramatic change. Not only did Deng Wendi wear a green hat for Rupert Murdoch, he also targeted a former British prime minister.

The "Letter from Wendi Deng" published by Vanity Fair was madly forwarded by the media and the Internet.

Wendi Deng wrote a few'fluffy love letters' in his diary in poor English, "Oh, damn, oh, damn... Why do I miss Tony so much, he is so charming and well-dressed. He has great He has very long legs and great buttocks. Not only that, but he is thin and tall and has good skin. I love his blue eyes and his style on stage..."

In addition, "Vanity Fair" also published several photos.

In the photo, Blair and Wendi Deng fed each other for dinner at Murdoch’s California farm, and the servants of the farm revealed that they saw Blair enter Wendi Deng’s room with their own eyes and closed the door. He was in her at least three times. Overnight in the bedroom.

This news was quickly reprinted by major websites, newspapers, and radio and television stations. In less than half a day, it spread all over the world, and the whole world was in an uproar...

Then the newspaper pointed out that Wendi Deng and Murdoch's love is just a show. The attack was nothing more than a PR behavior by News Corp. The whole world was deceived by them.

If there were people who doubted whether this was slander before, after the various lies-filled behaviors of News Corporation were exposed, the public no longer believed in News Corporation's media.

Although all three of the parties vehemently denied it, the "derailment gate" was fermented for several days. Tony Blair was forced to resign from all positions in the Labor Party, and the New York newspapers also broke the latest news. Murdoch, an angry man, has notified his lawyers to deal with the divorce with Wendi Deng as soon as possible.

Surrounded by powerful external enemies, the backyard has been on fire. This is the situation of Rupert Murdoch.

Some things do not need to be initiated by Duke. Time Warner, Viacom, Conscate and other media companies have been keeping a close eye on News Corporation. Their goal is not complicated. Use this event to truly split News Corporation and eliminate one. Strong competitors.

Before leaving North America. Duke has been paying attention to the progress of this matter. Rupert Murdoch can be said to be facing the most difficult situation in two decades. Even if News Corporation does not split up, the next few years will not be the same as in the past. .

While staring at News Corp, Duke also made a deal.

Lucasfilm is mostly high-quality assets such as Industrial Light and Magic and Skywalker sound effects, but there is no shortage of tasteless departments such as Lucas Animation and Lucas Games. Under the promotion of Duke, Lucasfilm On the basis of maintaining stability, the industry has also optimized the industry. Lucas Animation and Lucas Games were sold by Catherine Kennedy at a package price of US$95 million. Sold to Summit Entertainment.

Subsequently, Tina Fei stayed in North America to deal with various affairs, and Duke led the crew to fly to the UK to prepare to shoot a shot of Wayne Manor here.

The main scene here is a party. It was also at this party that Selena Kyle broke into Wayne Manor and brought Bruce Wayne, who had retired, back into the dispute.

The shooting location was in Nottingham, or the old villa of Irene Lauder's cousin. Unlike the previous shooting, Duke paid full rent and renovation costs this time. In order to make the scene more suitable for shooting.

This is a very old manor, but Duke has never been interested in things like history and monuments. Filming time in the UK is limited. In addition to a party scene, he has to shoot a fancy dress party in London.

Charles Rowan and Anna Prinz, who came over earlier, are basically ready, and they have found enough extras. Duke brought Christian Bell, Gail Gadot, and Michael Kane to rush. After arriving, I immediately started shooting.

Here is mainly Selena? Kyle and Bruce Wayne's rivalry.

There is no doubt that Gail Gadot, who is tall and long, model-born, is more suitable for catwoman in terms of body shape. Her biggest problem is acting. However, Duke's requirements for acting are not high, this is only a commercial film. And it won't be as heavy as "The Dark Knight."

In just two days, Duke had filmed all the scenes with Wayne Manor and was about to lead the crew to leave Nottingham and head to London when James Franco, who played John Blake, found Duke.

In the reception room of the hotel suite, Duke asked James Franco to sit casually and asked directly, "Come here so late, something?"

"Remember the comedy plan I told you before?"

Knowing enough about Duke’s style of doing things, James Franco didn’t give much thought to the circle, and said directly, “Seth Rogen and I have found someone to write the script and also made some general plans...”

Having said that, James Franco handed the file bag in his hand to Duke.

Taking the file bag, Duke quickly scanned it, as James Franco said, this is a typical comedy, but the content is a bit sensitive.

Just like a traditional North American comedy, this story is also a typical piss. The actor is an American talk show host, and his producer runs their very successful celebrity gossip TV show "Tonight's Gossip Show". When they discovered North Korea’s top leader, Kim Sanpang, was a fan of their show, so they decided to interview him and tried to become an officially authorized reporter.

When they were about to go to North Korea, they were recruited by a CIA operative, which changed the plan for the trip to Pyongyang-the two of them were going to assassinate the great dictator.

According to previous thinking, this is definitely an untouchable subject, but Duke looks at it from the perspective of a producer, and it is not difficult to find that this is a project that is likely to succeed.

For the North American market, the story setting itself is extremely funny, because to the American public, Jin Sanpang is more like a joke in an Internet spree than a real political figure, although this is unlikely It has become the most prominent political satire film of the era, but it is undoubtedly a cute, unrestrained and hilarious film adaptation.

Indeed, even if this film is successfully produced, it is at best a second-rate or even third-rate film, but it will definitely become a hot topic.

Sufficient topicality determines that this film will not lack audiences.

Of course, in Duke's view, the success of this film depends on marketing.

After thinking for a few seconds, Duke returned the file bag to James Franco and said, "After you return to North America, you can go to Warner Bros. and I will call Doug Walter."

The projects he recommends must pass the review of the Warner Bros. Review Committee.

Three days later, the crew started filming at the Hilton Hotel in London. Unlike the previous filming in the Los Angeles studio, ordinary digital cameras were used here.

Duke will use IMAX cameras for action scenes and location scenes with different sceneries. For scenes with smaller sceneries, Duke will use ordinary cameras instead.

However, Duke also used IMAX cameras when shooting panoramic shots of the costume party.

It’s also a challenge for lighting engineers to shoot IMAX interior scenes like this kind of big scene. The taller IMAX shots are difficult for the lamps to hide, and Duke chose London’s Hilton Hotel because of this. The ceiling of the banquet hall is designed with a square groove, which can hide the lamps for lighting.

The lighting group installed 8 750-watt ellipsoid lights on the ceiling overlooking the dance floor, and cut the light with the skewer board, and the side-by-side beams were shaped to match the ceiling inlaid lights, and the daily light was created by the reflection of the ceiling lights Effect.

When filming the scene where Christian Bale and Gal Gadot danced together, Duke was quite dissatisfied with the close-up images of the two people’s eyes, and asked the lighting team to replace the long-mouth diffuser LED to provide eye catching light, while using 5K tungsten. The silk lamp outlines the soft light and dark edge light effect, so as to make the eyes of the actors in the film brighter and more energetic.

Standing in the banquet hall, Duke loudly reminded the lighting team, "If the camera passes Bell's right shoulder, you stand on his left shoulder to light.

During the filming, Duke requested multiple 360-degree rotating shots between Christian Bell and Gal Gadot, and also allowed the lighting group to be controlled by the camera railcar placed above and behind the actor. Chinese lantern-style spherical light to create a continuous soft edge light effect.

After stopping in London for less than a week, the crew rushed to India on a chartered flight. Duke only filmed here for a short period of two days before leading the crew back to North America to shoot location scenes in New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh. (To be continued.)
