Local touchstone studio in Los Angeles.

After ending the exclusive interview with "Vanity Fair", Shen Lin was working tirelessly, preparing to discuss related matters about "La La Land" with Bill.

He frowned and looked at the audition results given by Bill until he saw the name of 'Emma Watson' and his face turned better.

"This girl is quite suitable, let's choose her!"

Watsons, Chen Lin looked at the girl's appearance and it was indeed quite suitable for the heroine in "La La Land". No wonder Damian Chazerre invited her to be the heroine at the beginning.

"No...she is now preparing for Disney's masterpiece "Beauty and the Beast"!"

Bill Dorothy looked at Chen Lin a little helplessly and explained.

"Don't she think about it yourself? Do we not even have an audition?"

Chen Lin was also a little frustrated. Damian Chazerre in his previous life was rejected by Emma Watson because of his lack of reputation. But now if he is directed by himself, he will never be like a bird, right?

"…Your investment in this drama is only 30 million US dollars, while "Beauty and the Beast" invests up to 200 million US dollars, which is absolutely a big production. Do you think she will be willing to give up a big production heroine and act in a song and dance film with a not-so-bright future? Moreover, you also require the actors to complete three months of dance training before filming!"

Bill Dorothy shook his head: "Shen, although you have won the Oscar for Best Picture, many people think that it is based on actors and it cannot be considered your true strength!"

"…Okay, what about Miles Teller? That's the hero we had already planned from the beginning!"

Chen Lin thought about it and found that Emma Stone's performance was perfect, so let's change the male lead. After all, Miles Trelle is much more famous than Ryan Gosling. I believe Damian Chazerre would agree to Chen Lin doing this.

"Haha, he has no schedule, he took on "Difference 2: Rebel"

Bill Dorothy looked at Chen Lin's face and suggested: "Why don't we change the genre? Recently I saw a script called "Arrival", which has suspense science fiction themes, you should like it very much..."

"Bill, do you have no confidence in me?"

Chen Lin looked at Bill Dorothy and asked bluntly.

"I have confidence in you, but I don't have any confidence in musical and dance films. You should know that young audiences nowadays rarely watch musical and dance films. This type of movie is already a product of the 1940s and 1950s and should have been outdated!"

"Then when I talked to you about this project last year, you agreed!"

Chen Lin looked at Bill with a little dissatisfaction. Last year, he discussed with him that he would make an Olympic movie. This man agreed with both hands and feet. He said that only a movie worth less than 50 million US dollars would be fine.

As a result, it is not a good idea to start singing and dancing films again. All kinds of indirect attempts are trying to get Chen Lin to give up the idea of ​​filming "La La Land".

"Haha, I'll definitely take it out, right? Where is Damian Chazerre? Why haven't he come yet?"

Damian Chazerre, the director of the original La La Land, also written this script, and he is also another director of La La Land this time!

That's right, Chen Lin is preparing to direct "La La Land" with Damian Chazerre this time

"…He should be coming soon."

...

As early as 2O8, Damian Chazerre used tens of thousands of dollars to shoot "Guy and Madeline on the Park Bench", and after that, Damian wrote the script for "La La Land".

Then he took the script to major production companies to try to raise funds, but no one was willing to invest money in this kind of "singing and dancing romance film" that no one has watched.

Chen Lin also met Damian Chazere at that time.

"Maybe you should make a movie that can be loved by the public first, and then there will be investors willing to invest in you!"

This is what he said to him after buying Damian's project.

Damian listened very much and took Chen Lin's money to buy the copyright and invest in the touchstone to shoot his famous work "The Breaking Drummer".

"The Breaking Drummer" became famous in one fell swoop, and Damian Chazerre wanted to film "La La Land", but that project no longer belongs to him.

Fortunately, he has maintained a good contact with Chen Lin in the past few years. After expressing his ideas, Chen Lin had an idea: "Let's just direct it together!"

This is also why Chen Lin was confused about the hero and heroine Miles Teller and Emma Watson at the beginning, because both of them were Damian Chazerre's confidant and the hero and heroine of "The Breaking Drummer"!

"Shen, I can't wait to see when we start shooting!"

After entering the office, Damian couldn't hide his excitement.

"Damian, don't be so anxious. Look, there is something wrong with the male and female protagonists now, we have to replace them!"

Chen Lin was very calm.

He knew that the filming cycle of "La La Land" was only three months, and with post-processing, it only took five months to complete. When it started filming in May, it would definitely catch up with the Water City Film Festival!

"Substitution? Why?"

"The two you invited have no schedule!"

"so?"

"So, according to my previous proposal, let's find Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone!"

Chen Lin put forward his own suggestions.

"Ok, but I need them to have two or three months of dancing and vocal training."

Damian Chazere demanded seriously.

“…This is my request.”

Chen Lin nodded speechlessly, then looked at Damian Chazerre: "I will go back to China to shoot a movie tomorrow. It will take at least two months. You will be responsible for the early coordination during this period..."

"No problem! You know, this movie has been churning in my mind for eight years, and every moment I'm thinking about how to show it."

Damian Chazere was very excited.

Chen Lin can understand that after taking Yang Mi's first blood, he was once excited as a dog.

"I read the script and my understanding of this movie is to pay tribute to modern innovation..."

"You really have the point. In fact, I'm going to learn from "The Song of the Rain" here, and here I'll learn from "The Umbrella of Cherbourg"..."

Once they talked about the movie, Chen Lin and Damian began various discussions, from dance discussions to background, costumes, props, dubbing, etc. When the two of them came to their senses, it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon.

"Damian, go, have dinner together...Bill, are you going too?"

“…I’ve finished eating…”

Bill said something faintly.

Unfortunately, Chen Lin and Damian ignored him at all!

In fact, since just now, Bill Dorothy has been trying to interrupt. After all, he is the producer of this drama, but unfortunately, there is no room for him to interrupt.
Chapter completed!
