Lin Mingyang never made judgments about someone based on the comments of onlookers, whether Beckmambetov was a director who could tell a story or not, and how good he was at storytelling, the only way to know was to read the script.
While reading the script, Lin Mingyang turned the pages very quickly, and the careless attitude on his face inevitably appeared too frivolous in the eyes of Bekmambetov, a strict Russian director. Bekmambetov raised an eyebrow, and Pratt quickly passed him a wink, stopping his reckless impulses.
With a script of over a hundred pages, Lin Mingyang only spent half an hour skimming through it roughly. The story wasn't too far from what he remembered, the wimpy hero was born to escape reality, and his life was full of failures: in the company, his boss took pleasure in tormenting him; at home, his girlfriend regarded him as air. In then a sexy, cold woman appears and then takes his future on an exciting and thrilling, even deadly, journey.
Whether it's the godly Justice Warrior special training, the unique "Bending Bullet Time", the fly-shooting technique, the secret assassin's organization, or the speeding car chases from "Day Watch", there's a primal gusto between the lines.
And the primitive cool, also means that the extreme pull of the male and female protagonists, never forget to show hot and sexy, from the bold body seduction, just the script of these and erotic, violence-related passages, is enough to make the film deservedly get an R rating.
Gently closing the script, Lin Ming Yang looked at Pratt with a smile, "When do we start?"

According to normal procedures, Pratt should next discuss further with Lin Ming Yang about the contract. But the real situation was a bit different from what he had expected, and the accident happened to Beckman Betov. While Pratt was talking with Lin Ming Yang, the Russian director suddenly came out with a remark.
After the interpreter explained, Lin Mingyang realized that the director was asking his opinion about the script. From the other party's face, he could see an expression of distrust or even skepticism.
Lin Mingyang was slightly stunned, "Is Mr. Tim doubting my abilities?"
"I think it's a misunderstanding..." looking at the fact that he was about to sign a contract with Lin Ming Yang without any problems, Bekmambetov stepped in across the line and led the situation to the position again, Pratt kept handing him glances, but the stubborn "Polar Bear" didn't But the stubborn "polar bear" did not pay attention to his good intentions.
He spoke to Lin Mingyang, then translated and explained, "Mr. Tim said that you were not serious when you read the script, and he doubted whether you knew the film's position."
This habit of quickly flipping through the script was related to Lin Ming Yang's unusual reading speed, onlookers looked like he was just casually flipping through it, but in fact, Te was reading it very seriously. This often caused misunderstandings, and every time he had to struggle to explain himself, this time he decided to take a different approach.
"I know that this script was changed by Bekmambetov himself, you ask him to ask a few questions and see if I can answer them." These words Lin Mingyang said to Bekmambetov's interpreter, and after he finished speaking he smiled towards Pratt next to him, "This should be able to test whether I've read the script carefully or not."
Hearing the confidence in Lin Mingyang's tone, Pratt passed a color to the translator, and then the other person translated Lin Mingyang's original words to Bekmambetov, who was also in favor of this proposal.
Bekmambetov asked five questions, and Lin Mingyang answered all of them correctly. His performance amazed that Russian director, the other party's eyes widened and his mouth exclaimed, "This is impossible... it's amazing!"
After Pratt had introduced to Bekmambetov through the translator that Lin Mingyang was also an outstanding screenwriter, his expression when he looked at Lin Mingyang again already had a hint of hidden marvel in it.
After this little episode, the two sides signed the cooperation agreement without any problems. While Pratt's heart finally dropped to the ground, Bekmambetov was excited to have an extra 15 million dollars in his hands, and Lin Mingyang was looking forward to working with Julie again.

The news that the former scandalous couple and the screen secret agent siblings of that year will collide passionately again has attracted great attention from the media as soon as the news was announced, and the movie fans have also shown a rare enthusiasm to pay great attention to this movie which has not yet started shooting.
Hollywood's sexiest actor, this is Lin Mingyang long ago hung the name, in the "blood diamond", he just played a mature, picked up the Oscar actor's laurels not to mention that, along with his own charisma index also followed his own paychecks together with the rubbing upward.
Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, has become much more low-key in front of the media since her divorce from her own former husband, but has not lagged behind in her career. She has always held the position of the sexiest actress, which no one can shake, and last year she was ranked first in the annual list of the top 100 sexiest actresses by the world's leading men's magazine, Men's Journal.
The movie has not yet officially started shooting, the pervasive paparazzi have already begun to take action, even the director Beckman Bertov, the "Russians", was "unfortunately" involved in the scandal between Lin Mingyang and Julie. In an interview with the media, he said that some paparazzi have already offered him $300,000 for a photo of Lin Mingyang and Jolie together.
Director Bekmambetov and producer Pratt had enough headaches with the heavily armed paparazzi hovering around the periphery of the set, but I don't know what that damned guy said, leaking the film's sequence of Julie's nude appearances and Lin Mingyang's extra nude performances, which agitated not only the media, but even the fans, who were also excited.
In the fans' impression, Lin Mingyang in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" to show muscles has been a long time ago, and his subsequent movie works, there is no longer that kind of exposure scenes. Many female movie fans talked about Lin Mingyang's body in private, still tsk tsk praising, the tone of indescribable nostalgia.
Many male fans, on the other hand, have already begun to fantasize about how large-scale performances Julie will have in the film, although this rumor has not yet been confirmed by the crew, but at this time there are already many "wolves" began to gulp there.
Director Bekmambetov told the interviewer that the movie will be full of "inappropriate" violence, nudity and sexy scenes, and that the actors will be bold enough to make the audience's jaws drop, as well as the use of many unimaginable lethal weapons in the movie.
This is a bit of an evasive answer, but the journalists were able to draw a lot of evidence from his words that a movie rated "R" would not be a bad idea.
During the media coverage of the movie, what attracted the most attention was not the quality of the movie itself, but the rumors about the main characters and the gossip that was even more exciting than the movie. The fervent fans and media forgot about the regret of screenwriter Morgan Freeman, who had to cut many scenes to take care of the two "big-name" leads; the likely inherent shortcomings of the comic book adaptation; and the first "move" from freezing Siberia to sunny And we forgot to question whether the new Russian director could bring a glorious commercial record from the first "move" from icy Siberia to the sunny west coast of the United States. All in all, we all think that this movie will be a dazzling feast for the senses, combining special effects, action and thriller elements.

In order to get rid of the inmates' paparazzi, the cast and crew made a "bewitching" move by announcing that the movie was being shot in Los Angeles, but the real shooting location was in Chicago. This trick of disguise was successful in confusing the media at the very beginning.
The movie officially started shooting at the beginning of July, and Lin Ming Yang arrived a week later than everyone else because of his class exams. Since there was a scene for him in the afternoon, Lin Mingyang rushed to the set as soon as he got off the plane.
When Lin Mingyang walked out of director Bekmambetov's office, there was still more than an hour before the afternoon shoot started, and the crew had specially arranged a separate dressing room for him, so he was going to go there to take a rest first.
When he twisted open the door of the room, Lin Ming Yang accidentally found another person in the dressing room, he subconsciously turned back to look at the door number and realized that he hadn't made a mistake.
"Surprised?" Angelina Jolie, who was wearing a short beige dress, half leaned on the dressing table, propping her entire body up with both hands facing backward, and asked with a dimpled smile.
"There were indeed some surprises!" Lin Ming Yang nodded his head, and when he closed the door, he unlocked it consciously, and then laughed heatedly, "This is my dressing room, you're not going to the wrong room, are you?"
