Chapter 429 Redemption and Choice
"No, Dad, why don't we go to Butte Island in the north. I heard that there are polar bears there, let's go and have a look?"

The little guy hugged her father's arm and said coquettishly:
"Before I came, I looked at the guide and said that I should be able to see polar bears on Bart Island."

Zhou Guyuan could only nod his head in response to this.

So, the little guy excitedly took her father, the two father and daughter with bodyguards and assistants to Bart Island.

On Bart Island in June, there is no ice or snow.

Global warming means that there is no ice and snow near the North Pole.

If it was 100 years ago, Bart Island would definitely be covered with ice and snow, even in the scorching summer.

"Hey, why aren't these big bears white?"

After arriving at Bart Island, a group of people drove an off-road vehicle across the ice field.

Soon, I saw those polar bears, but the whole body was stained with a lot of mud, and the white body was dyed gray.

So, from a distance, it looks like a regular grizzly or brown bear.

The little guy put down the binoculars with some disappointment, not in a particularly good mood.

What she had been looking forward to for several years finally got her wish today, but the fact is not as good as she imagined.

The most beautiful thing in the world is that you can't get what you want most.

Just like in ancient times, everyone in the literary world wrote a lot of praise poems about the moon.

But in modern times, humans can directly land on the moon.

So, it was discovered that the moon is not Guanghan Palace, and there is no Chang'e and Jade Rabbit.

Myth busted!
After leaving Alaska, the father and daughter came to the next stop, Maple Leaf Country.

The scenery of this country is very beautiful, and the flowers and plants are very beautiful.

According to the locals, if you come here in August and September, it will be more beautiful here.

Because at that time, you can see the golden maple leaves, the bleak and desolate beauty, which is even more moving.

After leaving the Maple Leaf Country, I went south and came to North America.

In North America, both father and daughter are no strangers, but this continent is also very large, and they have never been to many places.

They selected a few representative attractions, but the father and daughter had never been to them. They looked around and left.

Then came to the Caribbean Sea, where there are many small countries, all of which are stereotyped island countries.

The biggest feature of the island country is that it is particularly rich in seafood.

For the little guy who is like a foodie, he will naturally not miss the local food.

In North America, she was abused for several days, so of course she had to eat well here.

After leaving the Caribbean Sea, the time has entered August.

In August, the father and daughter didn't have much time to play.

Therefore, the journey around the world is temporarily suspended.

Returning to Shanghai from South America, the little guy went to school in the capital, while Zhou Guyuan was filming.

It was the first time for the little guy to go out alone, to a city where he was unfamiliar, and to survive alone.

Zhou Guyuan was worried, but she also knew that this was something she had to go through.

So, the bodyguard became an invisible bodyguard and only gave her a life assistant.

Even so, he personally followed behind and stayed in the capital for four or five days before leaving.

He wanted to make sure that the little guy could really live alone in the capital city before he could leave with peace of mind.

After returning to Shanghai, Zhou Guyuan started writing the script.

He analyzed the movies that won the Oscar for Best Actor in the past ten years, and went through these movies over and over again.

In fact, he has watched these videos many times.

However, every time he finishes watching a movie, he has new insights.

This is the charm of classics, with endless aftertaste.

A month later, he finally came up with a script, a classic movie that was originally praised as a god in the real world.

The Shawshank Redemption.

He wasn't sure if the movie would win the Best Actor Oscar, but he had to try.

In the past, it's not that he hasn't filmed award-winning movies, but didn't he still accompany him in the end?
Although The Shawshank Redemption movie, in the real world, did not win an Oscar.

However, it does not prevent Zhou Guyuan from admiring it.

A film that has been praised by many fans, naturally has its unique charm.

So, he summoned Pan Qian, Fan Guiming and others to help him with his staff.

This is the first time he led his staff to discuss the feasibility of the script.

Think twice!

It is undeniable that the script is very good, but it is hard to say whether it can be filmed well.

But everyone has confidence in him and can shoot well.

Pan Qian was not particularly happy, because she could tell that this was not a purely commercial blockbuster.

It also means that the box office of this movie will not be very good.

But no matter what, the boss's decision is the most important. It is impossible for her to decide what the boss should film or act in.

Soon, the script was finalized and the crew began to form.

The Shawshank Redemption movie is mostly shot in a closed prison.

Therefore, although it is difficult to find a prison building in the style of the 60s and [-]s, money can make ghosts work.

I searched a lot in Shanghai and other places, but couldn't find it.

Therefore, the rich and powerful film crew directly paid for the construction of a prison.

The investment of the entire movie, except for the prison, the biggest expense is the actors' remuneration.

Zhou Guyuan must be playing the leading role, the man who was put on a cuckold by his wife and wrongly sentenced to Shawshank Prison.

A banker of the social elite, he was originally a beautiful wife with a beautiful life.

But because his wife cheated, his wife and adulterer were both killed by chance, and he couldn't prove that he was not the murderer, so he was sentenced to life imprisonment, a tragedy in his life.

However, Reid, the main supporting role in the film, was snatched by Actor Xie, because he really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Guyuan once.

Ten years ago, the movie Infernal Affairs was snatched by Liu Tianwang, and Xie Yingdi has always regretted it.

Therefore, this time, Actor Xie made a request for cooperation without hesitation.

The joining of the two great film stars is a strong guarantee for the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

It is precisely because of this that the film crew pays a lot of money.

Zhou Guyuan didn't talk about it himself, he always got his share of the box office, while actor Xie could only get a fixed salary because of his lack of box office appeal.

However, even if it is a fixed salary, it is also very expensive.

This movie is all men's play, there is no heroine or supporting actress.

Even the scene where the actor's wife has an affair with the coach is all a montage without showing his face at all.

The construction of the prison is fast.

In a powerful country known as an infrastructure madman, building a retro prison should not be too simple.

What's more, it is not necessary to complete the construction of all places, and some places are basically a framework.

While the prison was still under construction, Zhou Guyuan had already brought the crew to the seaside to shoot the seaside and other scenes first.

There are also plots such as court debates, the warden's office, and the prison library, all of which are indoor dramas.

These can be shot in advance.

By the time these indoor scenes were finished, the prison was almost complete.

With Zhou Guyuan's current acting skills, controlling a role like banker Andy is completely easy.

The only thing to pay attention to is that when acting opposite actor Xie Yingdi, you can't be suppressed by the other party.

For example, the scene where Andy and Red face each other for the first time.

It seems that the cloud is calm and the wind is light, but in fact it is full of vigilance, and it is difficult to be cautious about probing.

What's more, looking at the whole movie, the plot is as plain as water, without many ups and downs, and there is nothing attractive.

It's like, after reading the script, the picture is full of sense, so there is no need to watch the movie.

Therefore, in order to make this movie stand out, the acting skills of the actors are very important.

Actor Xie is over 60 years old now, playing a criminal who has been in prison for decades is very easy.

The first scene after starting the machine is at the seaside. This is the first time Andy and Reed met after they escaped from prison.

The two film kings were playing, but the crew did not find any abnormal or very shocking scenes.

Zhou Guyuan and Zhou Guyuan both handled it very well, vividly interpreting the scene of the reunion of the two old friends.

In this way, the next shooting is completely fast-forwarded like clouds and flowing water.

Entering December, the movie wraps up.

The progress of the whole movie is not fast, mainly because the construction of the prison is a bit slow, otherwise, it could have been completed half a month earlier.

After the film is completed, it is transferred to the post-production stage, and then it is released and submitted for review.

Due to time constraints, after completing the film editing, Zhou Guyuan started the preparations for the next film non-stop.

Now the little guy is about to turn 15, and there are only three years left before he becomes an adult.

After winning the Best Actor Oscar in three years, Zhou Guyuan suddenly felt a sense of Alexander.

Therefore, Zhou Guyuan directly wrote two scripts, There Will Be Blood and Dallas Buyers Club.

The former is a historical drama film. This film tells the story of the turn of the century at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. During the period when the oil field industry on the west coast of North America was booming, a driller Daniel Plainview discovered a large oil field. From then on, the story of becoming a super rich.

Such a story has a strong North American taste.

Therefore, it is somewhat difficult for Zhou Guyuan to act in such a film.

It is very difficult to localize it.

However, Zhou Guyuan didn't intend to give up, so he could use it as a backup first.

Dallas Buyers Club is a movie about the main character's struggles with the disease and the FDA after being diagnosed with HIV.

It's a bit similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in China, but it's also a realistic movie.

This kind of movie has a common problem, that is, the box office is not good.

But I am not the god of medicine, this movie is very evil, and the box office is very high with the favor of the goddess of luck.

And the movie I am not the God of Medicine has already been released, not to mention that it is still a bit difficult for this movie to win an Oscar.

In addition to these two films, Zhou Guyuan actually wanted to make another film, The Revenant.

The Revenant is the movie in which Xiao Li was crowned emperor, and it is well-known around the world.
