Chapter 163 "The Walking Dead" Starts Filming

As long as you're popular, there's never a shortage of parties in Hollywood.

In the next week, Su Rui went to a total of four parties, large and small, and every day was very lively.

It made him reluctant to think about leaving, and regained some of the happiness he had when he was seventeen or eighteen years old and young and vigorous.

At first, they only took Yuko Hoshino, and when Daddario rushed back to Los Angeles, he also took her out to join in the fun.

It's a pity that the two girls are still on guard against each other. Although they haven't broken their faces, they often fight openly and secretly in private, forcing Su Rui to try to be as balanced as possible and remain neutral.

As for the double happiness...he didn't even dare to mention it, lest he would poke a hornet's nest and be hit by a joint double.

Fast forward to December.

As Daddario is about to enter the crew, Suri is sandwiched between them in an uncomfortable way, and the days of worrying all day are finally coming to an end.

In order to celebrate her upcoming appearance in the new drama, Suri specially bought a marathon brand caravan and gave it to Daddario for use, so that she can go to various places to film in the future.

It cost 110 million US dollars to buy the car, and it was refitted on the basis of a large passenger car. The size of the whole car is 14 meters long.

The interior space is extraordinarily spacious, luxurious enough to look like a suite in a five-star hotel, complete with TV, floor heating, dining room, shower room, etc.

The relationship between D’Addario and him has long been exposed. It was because of Su Rui that he became famous.

A little more high-profile, others will only think it is normal.

Since being envied and jealous is already unavoidable, it is better to arrange it as comfortable as possible.

Bringing a top-of-the-line RV to join the crew is a standard configuration for top-tier Hollywood names. Unlike some sitcoms that are filmed indoors, The Walking Dead has too many exterior scenes. Having such a RV can make Daddario a lot easier.

In order to prevent Yuko Hoshino from feeling unbalanced, Su Rui also bought her a car.

The Murcielago LP640, jointly created by Lamborghini and Versace, is limited to 20 units in the world. Due to the price increase and resale, the price in hand is about 90 US dollars.

It seems a little unbelievable that the sale is a gift of tens of millions of dollars.

Considering that participating in an event and singing on stage for half an hour earned 400 million US dollars, Suri obviously has the confidence to spend a lot of money.

The distinction between extravagance and waste mainly depends on the amount of wealth.

For him, it's not even a big expense, it's just an early Christmas gift for this year...

December [-]st.

Suri took Daddario and Yuko Hoshino, and took about three hours to arrive in Virginia City, Nevada, in the marathon luxury car that he just bought.

This small town was born because of the mine veins in history, similar to the rise of San Francisco because of the gold mines.

However, San Francisco's geographical location and luck are better, and it has successfully grown into one of the wealthiest big cities on the west coast of the United States.

Virginia City was lifeless and gradually decaying.

Nevada is not rich at all, and the only popular city that can be sold is Las Vegas, the casino city.

Virginia City is still far away from Las Vegas. The local population has been outflowing for a long time, housing prices are cheap, and the cost of living is relatively low.

This also means that the crew's subsequent expenses will be slightly cheaper.

Due to the unique geographical environment, occasionally crews from Los Angeles come to film, and the locals are not surprised by this.

An assistant director of the "The Walking Dead" crew has a relationship with the mayor of this town.

After the communication between the two parties, the details of the cooperation have been negotiated, and the setting is started in advance.

In the case of being compensated, some residents are just picking up a windfall for nothing. Many people can get part-time jobs, and other businesses can also take the opportunity to attract tourists. Of course, they are warmly welcome.

If someone opposes it, it means blocking everyone's way of making money.

There is no need for the crew to do anything, the residents of the town will first drown the troublemakers with spittle stars.

At this moment.

Park your RV in the hotel yard.

As soon as Su Rui got out of the car, he saw Director David Lynch, wearing an oxygen mask, directing the crew and moving a lot of equipment out of the truck.

With a surprised tone, Su Rui asked, "David, are you sick? If you don't feel well, then postpone the start of filming for two days. Your health is the most important thing."

Director Lynch shook his head, took off his oxygen mask and explained:

"I'm not sick, it's just a little lack of oxygen. I went out in the early morning and inspected several sites suitable for shooting night scenes. I forgot that the local altitude is more than 6200 feet, and I walked too much without paying attention."

More than 6200 feet, which is equivalent to about 1900 meters above sea level.

It doesn't matter if Su Rui is young and strong, but Director Lynch is over sixty years old. In recent days, he has been extremely busy preparing for the start of filming, so it is inevitable that he is a bit overwhelmed.

Worried that the old director would hold on in front of her, Su Rui reminded:

"No wonder you feel dizzy and uncomfortable. You should put on your oxygen mask. We passed a large lake on the way just now, and you can even see snow-capped mountains in the distance. If you shoot some shots in that place, the effect of the picture should be very beautiful."

Director Lynch had learned about the nearby attractions, and replied after hearing the words:
"You mean Lake Tahoe. People in California and Nevada like to go there for vacation in summer. I will consider arranging some scenes near the snow-capped mountains. Virginia Town is also very suitable for filming. The ancient streets have The old-fashioned and desolate feeling can save a lot of time for setting."

"I saw it on the way here. There is a block of newspapers, garbage, and scrapped cars. Are you guys going to shoot there later?"

Hearing Su Rui's question, Director Lynch nodded and said:
"That's right, Ashton has already gone to prepare. Later, we will shoot the scene of the protagonist waking up in the abandoned hospital. I'm still a little uncomfortable for the time being. After seeing a large number of makeup looks of the living dead in the morning, I haven't had the appetite to eat until now. I feel like I need to use more perspective, so as not to be too scary and scare the audience away."

Suri reminded:
"I also hate the sudden flash of horror images. It is best to allow the audience to have time to adapt. For example, take a picture of the back first, then slowly turn the head, or take a picture of the body first, and then move the camera upwards. Although this is disgusting , but not to scare away adults, a certain balance needs to be mastered."

"You can wait for the editing to come out and see how it works."

Director Lynch continued to inhale oxygen, turned his gaze to Daddario, and asked:

"You will appear at the end of the first episode, and the filming is scheduled for tomorrow morning. If you are not familiar with the lines, hurry up and prepare. I didn't consider the temperature here is cold. You go to the costumer to pick out a new coat. Better be like a huntress."

Knowing that Director Lynch is strict, Daddario replied immediately: "Okay, I have memorized the lines, but it may take some time to fully enter the state."

Suri interrupted with a smile:

"I testify that she did memorize it, and even checked her lines with me. The character image belongs to the kind of person who doesn't talk too much. It is not difficult to memorize the lines, but because of her lack of experience, I worry that she will be nervous when the time comes."

Director Lynch knew immediately.

It's not easy to meet a good financial backer who allows him to do his best. Su Rui only interferes with the heroine, which is quite lenient.

The old director immediately reciprocated and replied:
"Don't worry, there is no good actor who is perfect from the beginning. I will be responsible for guiding her, at worst, take a few more shots..."
