Chapter 75 - Old Friends, New Partners

Cristina is a very "wild" and loose actress who loves her role and walks around with a gun in her hand all day on set. Director Jonathan Mostow felt that she fit his criteria of a "sexy, beautiful, cool and deadly dangerous actress", so he always admired her. Lin Ming Yang's generosity towards Kristina's stupid move was a relief, as he really didn't want to change actors at this critical time.

After this "accident", the relationship between Lin Ming Yang and Cristina was completely reversed. In the past, Cristina hated him so much that Lin Mingyang couldn't even avoid him. Now, Lin Mingyang is staying away from this "dangerous" woman, while Cristina feels guilty every time she sees him and avoids him as soon as she finishes filming. In the past, she was a debt collector, but now she has become a debtor, which gives people a different feeling.

Lin Mingyang and Kate Beckinsale's cooperation in the theater is getting better and better, but their relationship has not developed further since last time, which somehow makes Lin Mingyang feel a little regretful.

During this time the crew was filming a chase scene at the Sixth Street overpass. Fire trucks, police cars and a truck without a cab door took part in the filming. Arnold's stunt double sat on a police motorcycle. To avoid the motorcycle, the fire truck and the police car dashed in one direction while the truck flew up and crashed into the other. The shot was filmed from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. before wrapping.

Brilliant chase scenes have never been a Hollywood favorite, and the Terminator series has taken this visual art to the extreme. How many people were mesmerized by the combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger and motorcycles? The number is believed to be no less than the movie's box office.

Tough, independent, adventurous and wild, all the qualities of a motorcyclist are evident in Arnold Schwarzenegger. The crew used eight motorcycles for the shoot**, all supplied by Indian Motorcycles, each carefully built to police motorcycle standards.

Lin Mingyang this time also had a biking addiction, originally out of safety considerations, the crew did not intend to let Lin Mingyang personally, not to mention the backseat also carries Kate Beckinsale, it is not good to be a car two lives, the director Jonathan Modesto said nothing at first refused to agree. But in the end, he still did not get through his "hard", and saw Lin Mingyang on the driving range skillful driving skills, Jonathan Modesto finally reluctantly agreed to let Lin Mingyang try.

Although he insisted on not using a body double as Lin Ming Yang did, but sitting on the speeding motorcycle, Kate Beckinsale was still a little apprehensive in her heart, her body was tightly pressed against Lin Ming Yang's back, and her knuckles were a little white because of the nervousness of her grip. By the temperament of the big beautiful woman from the back of the dead hold, Lin Mingyang body of male hormones were a large number of stimulation, driving motorcycle is more and more bold, several times almost and other car collision, were his thrilling avoidance. Photographers in front of the shoot sweaty hands, Jonathan Mostow in the side to see the fear.

Although this last part of the shooting is perfect, but Jonathan Mostow vowed to never let Lin Mingyang in this movie to touch any props with wheels, this guy in his eyes is simply crazy not to die, in order to consider their own heart, Jonathan Mostow also want to live a few more years.

The real headache for Jonathan Mostow is not Lin Mingyang's "madness", although Warner has already shelled out 170 million for the movie, but the uncountable destruction scenes in the movie still make him often open a deficit. Because of the money, the film was forced to abandon a key scene in which a heavy crane crashes into a glass curtain wall, but this footage is star Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite.

Regardless of the motivations on the part of the distributor, Terminator 3 is, after all, a continuation of a classic series, and Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to leave as much of a masterpiece as possible in his last chance. He righteously paid his own way to take the footage, and as a dedicated actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger's approach is deeply admired by Lin Mingyang.

In the final set of shots, Arnold Schwarzenegger's T-850 sacrifices himself to die with T-X. John Connor and his girlfriend Kate rush to the crater before the time rift closes, and here the two will stage a moving parting.

There's no denying that Lin Ming Yang did write this episode with the wicked idea of wanting to possess Kate Beckinsale's first on-screen kiss, and while they've already done it once as a couple in Cinderella's Glass Cell Phone, the two are too pure to be playing an American movie in that G-rated, no-frills flick.

So the shooting of this scene made Lin Ming Yang very excited, but the key was that director Jonathan Mostow thought that the last moment should be for Kate to kiss the soon-to-be-departed John Connor goodbye, and then for John Connor to take himself to say hello to Kate in the other dimension of time and space. Lin Mingyang was not able to take the initiative to embrace the kiss, so Lin Mingyang, the big bad wolf in sheep's clothing, wasted his expression four times during the filming, and Kate Beckinsale still didn't pluck up the courage to kiss her.

Jonathan Mostow did a lot of guiding, but Kate was just a little embarrassed in her heart, and the last time it was Lin Mingyang who had the bright idea to take the initiative and say "Honey, before I leave, aren't you going to give me another kiss?"

In line with the plot and Lin Ming Yang's emotional performance on his face, Kate Beckinsale finally kissed up this time without any hesitation, although it was a performance, Lin Ming Yang's tongue still recklessly cracked her teeth, this emotional kiss not only left a line of tears in Kate's closed eyes, but also rubbed her heart to pieces, it was no longer possible to put together a complete heart for another man.

This shot is perfect from a performance point of view, whether it's the actors' movements, their eyes, or the tears Kate leaves behind at the end, it's all very melodramatic and tragic. But no one realizes that the pair of young people kissing in front of the camera have both become so engrossed in this relationship that it's hard to pull themselves out of it.

Lin Mingyang did not realize that his kiss had completely changed his relationship with Kate Beckinsale. Of course, with director Jonathan Mostow's excited "stop", this movie, which was once feared to be unable to finish shooting on schedule, finally came to an end.

Of course, filming is only the initial part of the movie, and post-production is the key factor to make the movie have a shocking effect. After leaving the set, Lin Ming Yang returned to school, but since he chose the path of Hollywood stardom, it was destined that the high school campus would not be able to carry his dreams.

The uneventful school life didn't last too long, because Lin Ming Yang was always filming, he was only able to stay in school for a few hours, although his grades never fell, but his mother, Catherine, was still ready to look for a tutor for him, who would be able to help him with his homework while he was filming.

This was not good news to Lim Ming Yang, but from Ecks came good news: Kenny Ortega was back!

For the director who had led him onto the path, Lin Ming Yang had always been grateful; if not for that chance encounter at the gas station, he might still be an ordinary high school student.

And in Kenny Ortega's eyes, Lin Mingyang brought him a surprise far beyond his imagination, just one year past, this former boy with a dynamic song to impress his own, has jumped into the new generation of Hollywood movie stars in the storm.

In the film "Song and Dance", Lin Mingyang starring plus screenwriter, income in the bag is only less than $200,000, that time this money for him is already a small amount, but now he has published his own novel, in the "New York Times" bestseller list is still maintained in the first position can not be shaken. And in Lin Ming Yang's recent role in Terminator 3, his personal paycheck has reached $4 million.

More Kenny Ortega surprised, Lin Mingyang in the screenwriting road achievements, has far beyond his imagination, that in the gas station to describe the plot idea of the boy, now has Hollywood hot potential superb screenwriter. When Kenny Ortega took Lin Mingyang's script to persuade Disney, and now in turn is Disney took Lin Mingyang's script, to find a quality director for him.

Luckily, Disney chose Kenny Ortega as the director of Lin Ming Yang's new movie "Baseball Girl", and Lin Ming Yang who learned of this news also looked excited to work with Kenny Ortega again outside of "Song and Dance", and it had to be said that this was a kind of destiny for the two.

Still the same cafe, still the same small box, the only difference is that Lin Ming Yang did not sit next to Megan Fox, and Kenny Ortega did not order red wine for himself again, but ordered two cups of coffee.

"I watched that movie you wrote, directed and acted in, compared to Song and Dance Youth, you seem to be getting more and more mature in your characterization and plot structure, I heard that movie achieved good results after it was released, so I have to first of all congratulate you for taking a solid step towards your goal."

"The success of that film didn't change the way my agent and investors viewed me, Mr. Eckles always thought that was hogwash on my part!" Chatting with Kenny Ortega, Lin Mingyang's entire body seemed relaxed.

"I almost forgot, the once partner has now become your agent, Ecks has always had a good eye for people, he decided to be very wise in my opinion." Kenny Ortega laughed heartily.

"Just overly nagging some times." Speaking of his own agent, Lin Ming Yang looked helpless, on the issue of finding himself a tutor, Ecks stood firmly on the side of his own mother, Catherine, and every day, he had to harp on himself about how important good academic performance was for applying to university, hearing Lin Ming Yang's ears were about to become calloused.

"I've heard that you've been rumored with several actresses recently?" Kenny Ortega, who has always been very serious, couldn't help but "gossip" for once: "Isn't Megan jealous in New York?"

Look at Lin Mingyang eat crappy look, he also did not have the good intention to continue to "tease" each other on this issue. In the end, he put away his joking expression and turned the conversation to the main topic.

"I've read the script of 'Baseball Girl', the name of a Shakespearean idol drama really isn't for bluffing, compared to the other changes in Hollywood, your script this time is considered original, although the content isn't very innovative, but the idea of putting Shakespeare's classic play on a youth campus is already appealing enough! "

Lin Mingyang smiled embarrassedly, in fact, he had only borrowed someone else's idea and then changed the shell, old bottles containing new wine.

"Aside from this script, I'm actually most concerned about the relationship between you and Hilary Duff." Kenny Ortega spoke from the script to the movie's leading lady, "Is it really true that there is something going on between you? I don't mean the gossip, but the kind of conflict that's been talked about in the media."

"The two of us have never even met, when I was shooting Cinderella's Glass Phone, I had asked her to be the female lead in the movie, but she didn't agree and I met Kate later. Then it got rehashed by the media and after some hype it became what it is now."

"So the script, it was the product of a compromise between you?" Kenny Ortega asked, adding.

"You could say that, because the media was targeting me at the time, so Eckles suggested that I take the initiative to make a gesture to alleviate the pressure of public opinion." In front of Kenny Ortega, there was no need for Lin Mingyang to hide.

"Then if you lose this platform of cooperation between you, do you think that public opinion will now move towards the side that favors you?" Kenny Ortega asked a very strange question.

"Maybe!" Lin Ming Yang didn't think much about it at first, "I've been making movies lately, and the media has been paying attention, while it seems like she hasn't been in the media lately, so maybe I'm going to be a bit more famous than her now!"

"Well, Ecks' judgment is the same as yours."

Seeing the serious expression on the other party's face, Lin Ming Yang then realized that his agent and Kenny Ortega seemed to be hiding something from him.

"What went wrong?"

"According to your explanation just now, this script is one that you specifically tailored for Hilary Duff?" Kenny Ortega didn't tell him the answer directly.

"You can't say that."

"So you hope to work with her?"

"I hope?" Lin Mingyang was thoroughly confused, "Hasn't this movie already decided on a starring role?"

"It was once!" Kenny Ortega sighed slightly, "But now, Hilary Duff has canceled her contract with Disney!"
