    The second filming of the first scene of the fifth scene of "The Mummy"!  </> ¡°Hell, why are the camels here sold at half the price of Cairo!¡± Jonathan took money out of his wallet unhappily and complained with a groan.  "Hey, man! You don't have to buy it, if you are confident that you can walk out of this desert with just your feet!" The vendor made money and looked proud.  Looking at his triumphant appearance, Jonathan was even more unhappy. He looked back at Yang Lin, as if he really wanted to confirm with him whether he could walk out of the desert on two legs and reach the capital of the dead - Hamna Tower.  .  It's a pity that Yang Lin was very proud of his deflated look. He held a piece of dead grass in his mouth and raised his eyebrows, "I promise, you will never think of losing half your life in the desert like I did before!"?¡­  ¡­ Lin Xiaozhi sat on his seat, staring at Chow Yun-fat and the others intently. He rubbed his chin with his roughened fingers out of habit, and soon a piece of necrotic skin came off. He pinched it and looked at it.  He played it out calmly, obviously he was used to it!  "The wind has picked up. It looks like we have to stop filming in the afternoon!" Zhang Yimou walked under his parasol with a gray towel on his head. His skin was originally a little brown, but now he said he was an Indian and everyone else  There will never be any doubt.  Lin Xiaozhi looked up at the sky when he heard the sound and frowned slightly.  Speaking of the weather, Egypt in February should be more comfortable than Hong Kong purely based on the temperature.  The average temperature during the day is between 18-25 degrees, and it may drop below 10 degrees at night. This standard of spring and autumn is indeed the most comfortable time of the year in China.  But this is not China. It is a standard desert country with more than 95% of the territory being desert. On sunny days, the sun is shining directly, and the wind blowing from the ocean from time to time carries sand that slaps on the face, even if you apply sunscreen.  He couldn't bear the repeated tossing day after day. After staying in Egypt for a month, Lin Xiaozhi's face shed two layers of bad skin, which made his wife feel very distressed when she came from Hong Kong to see him a few days ago.  Following Zhang Yimou¡¯s finger, Lin Xiaozhi saw the sky in the distance beginning to turn yellow, and shrugged helplessly.  Having been in Egypt for a while, he is somewhat familiar with the bad weather here.  For example, in the north of the country, sandstorms usually only begin to break out in April and May, but here in Egypt, we encounter them almost every month throughout the year. The difference is just in size.  Desert flooding, Gobi drought, soil erosion, in the words of locals, you can spit out half a mouthful of sand when you take a breath in a breeze. Although this is an exaggeration, it shows how common sandy weather is in Egypt.  During the month they were filming in the desert town of Tantos, there had been three or four days when filming had to be stopped due to sandstorms. In addition to using this weather to reshoot a few sets of protagonists and others in the harsh weather,  Apart from the scene of marching in the desert due to weather conditions, it was inconvenient to even go out, let alone filming exterior scenes.  Seeing that the sky began to turn yellow again, it was obvious that sand and dust were about to hit, Lin Xiaozhi picked up the microphone, "Okay, this scene is over! Take a five-minute break, and the makeup artist will pay attention to touch up the makeup. We will try to go through three scenes in the morning and rest in the afternoon!"  ¡±??¡­?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just before he could take a hot shower and wash away the sand from his hair and body, Lin Xiaozhi saw Ye Weixin appearing in front of him, with a look on his face that could not be concealed.  smile.  He was moved in his heart and asked: "What made you come to see me in person? How is the filming of the new movie going!" For Ye Weixin's new movie, the old script is still written by him.  Because I know Ye Weixin¡¯s filmmaking style very well, he is actually not good at shooting pure action films, but rather literary and artistic films that use ordinary or extraordinary plots to deeply analyze human nature. Therefore, every one of his films in recent years  The scripts are all carefully selected by Lin Xiaozhi. They have not only earned Media Asia a lot of popularity in Europe and the United States, but also often won awards at some international film festivals.  The new script prepared by Lin Xiaozhi for him is called "Whose World", which is adapted from a very famous American movie "The Truman Show" in the previous life.  When he first came up with the idea of ??making this movie, he mainly wanted to advertise for ATV around the world. Although Ye Weixin is not as well-known in Europe and the United States now, his reputation and attention have increased since the release of "Fight Club" directed by him.  Then climbed quickly.  The film ultimately took away nearly 80 million US dollars at the global box office, and the video tape sold well, making a huge profit for Media Asia.  So much so that after he finished filming this movie, many European and American film companies invited Ye Weixin to helm this movie in which Ya was regarded as the "villain". Lin Xiaozhi was very relieved.  Speaking of which, The Malcolm Show, the original work of "The Truman Show", was written by screenwriter Andrew Nicol two years ago.I wrote the outline, and Lin Xiaozhi originally planned to buy it from him. Unexpectedly, he sent someone to inquire about it and found out that Andrew Nicol¡¯s first draft turned out to be a science fiction thriller. After the final draft,  "The Truman Show" has almost no relevance.  With this discovery, and the fact that the other party's price of one million US dollars was outrageous, he kicked the original author aside with a clear conscience, and generously wrote the Hong Kong version of "The Truman Show"  The edited script was handed over to Ye Weixin for filming.  Ye Weixin smiled and nodded, "The movie was finished half a month ago. In fact, if Andy's schedule hadn't been so full and he had two movies to shoot at the same time, we might have finished filming a year ago.  . I¡¯m going to wait until after May for the movie to be released!¡± After May?  !  Lin Xiaozhi thought thoughtfully. For filmmakers, the first thing that comes to mind when mentioning May is the Cannes Film Festival, which will be held in Cannes, a small town in southern France, in May.  He knows that Ye Weixin is a bit of a literary person. Although he does not value fame as much as making money from movies like later mainland filmmakers, if he can gain something at this most internationally influential film festival,  , which still has a lot of appeal to him.  At that moment, he nodded, supporting his decision.  But he doesn¡¯t know that Ye Weixin went all the way to Egypt to see him today just to tell him about his new movie.  As expected, Ye Weixin only paused slightly, then raised his eyebrows and said to him excitedly: "Lin Sheng, maybe you can guess what good news I am going to tell you today?" Seeing that he was so happy, he even dared to sell out to his boss.  Guanzi comes.  Lin Xiaozhi glanced at him angrily, feeling itchy in his heart, and asked: "Give me a hint" Ye Weixin smiled and said: "If I gave you a hint, you would guess it right awayOkay, Polygram  " "Could it be" Lin Xiaozhi's face was suddenly filled with joy, "PoGram finally nodded?" "Congratulations to Lin Sheng!" "Congratulations to us!" Lin Xiaozhi hugged him wildly.  Laughed out loud!  When it comes to PolyGram records, I am afraid that anyone in the world who has dealt with music will know it.  This record company headquartered in London, England is a world-famous record giant. Not only is the company's total size several times larger than Lim Hyo-chi's Media Asia, but it is also one of the biggest players in the record industry today.  The predecessor of PolyGram records, Deutsche Grammophon, was founded in 1898. After World War II, it became a subsidiary of the German industrial giant Siemens.  In order to resist risks in the early 1970s, Philips took the initiative to contact Siemens. Finally, in 1972, two major European industrial giants, Siemens and Philips, reached an agreement. Deutsche Grammophon merged with PPI, a company owned by Philips.  The new record company was renamed PolyGram International Ltd. and its headquarters moved to London, England. Siemens and Philips each owned half of the shares.  Backed by the support of two major European industrial giants, PolyGram's development path may be more accurately described as a path of annexation. It successively acquired Shen Yun, a well-known jazz record company owned by MGM Films, and Decca.  ,A
