Chapter 182: Fortunately, I'm not an actor

It's not just Rhea who is excited, but the foreign actors who are intensively trained are happy and excited, this is a $200 million investment movie!

It is not that the big investment will be successful, there are many high-cost movies in Hollywood, "Future Water World" invested 200 million and the box office was less than 90 million, it cannot be said that the movie is too bad, it can only be said that the audience does not accept it, and the director almost committed suicide.

But the key is that not only is the investment large, Chu Shun is also trustworthy, and Hollywood critics of "Paradise Cinema" are also boasting.

Rhea, Parson, and Mirek belong to a large economic company, and all the companies have a high evaluation of Chu Shun, a young director.

Perth's agency is the famous CAA, one of the four major agencies in Hollywood, and it is conceivable that the founder Ovitz was called the head of Hollywood when he was still in his position.

CAA is a bit decayed now, but it's no problem to be ranked among the big four, in the past, their company's Asian director data evaluation sub-database, island directors accounted for the majority, and Huaxia only had the fourth and fifth generation of directors, as the geographical location of the Chinese box office became more and more important, Huaxia directors surpassed island directors in the database.

Chu Shun, as the most famous existence of the Chinese young generation, naturally has real-time updates of information, and now it is-

[Name: Chu Shun.]

Age: 26

Main awards: Golden Lion Award, Palme d'Or, Best Director of Sino-US Cultural Exchange

Commercial film index: 12.7

Literary film index: 13.9

Excerpt from "Manager Rolls Jettin is a month-end review on July 29, 2022": Whether it is "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Cinema Paradiso", which have won awards at three major film festivals, they are all works that can be circulated in artistry and universality, and "Cinema Paradiso" is a film that will not be missed on the list of all art films, and there is only one art film master in the world who is less than 30 years old.

"Fatal ID" and "Let the Bullets Fly" both grossed more than $300 million at the global box office, with an average cost and return ratio of more than 20 times, which can tell the story to both Chinese and Western audiences, and is very talented in commercial films.

Observing the seven feature films shot by Chu Shun in four years, the results are obtained.

(Note: The first "Six Grids" was filmed in July 2018, when Chu Shun was a freshman.) )

Conclusion: None of them failed, including the first work "Six Grids", which is a very high-quality co-director.

Supplement: "Six Grids" entered the classic screening unit of the Venice Film Festival in 2021 due to its too novel shooting technique, which led to a poor reputation at the time of release, and was praised by half of the film critics, and the remaining critics still couldn't accept such a novel shooting technique and called it an "experimental film".

was 1.5 million euros by the Dutch Pinnacle Mountain Pictures to buy the rights to European discs and the right to show it, considering the extremely low cost of "Six Grids", the income is also good. ]

CAA's evaluation form is tens of thousands of words, because the company has extracted the monthly reviews of more than 30 brokers around the world, and only the most representative one is selected, and the rest are exaggerated in much the same way.

The full score of the index is 16 points, don't think that 12.7 points is very low, the score is a set of program calculations written by the brokerage company through big data, and a large part of the criteria are based on the director's age, as well as the number of films filmed, plus the total box office, Chu Shun's debut time is not long.

There are only two directors in the world who have a commercial film index of more than 12 points under the age of 30, one is Chu Shun, and the other is a 29-year-old director who has just filmed two "White Magic Guide" series.

The "White Magic" series can be understood as a superhero movie of Yuandixing, with a strong box office, and the two together have won nearly 3 billion box office worldwide, so the commercial film index is higher than Chu Shun.

When "The Matrix" is released, it will be a different scene.

And the high scores of literary films close to 14 points are even rarer, so how can the actors not be happy.

I forgot to say that "Six Grids" was included in the classic unit by the Venice film jury in the year after Chu Shun won the Golden Lion Award, but Chu Shun was not present at the scene because he was filming "Sweet Honey".

Chu Shun washed the black into white for the original body, and it was not deliberately analyzed by film critics, think about it carefully, if Wong Kar-wai makes a bullshit movie, he will definitely be scolded, and someone will definitely analyze the connotation.

Isn't there a joke? Seeing a bad movie with problematic logic, and seeing that the director is not Wong Kar-wai, you can rest assured that you can scold.

Of course, "Six Grids" and Wong Kar-wai's movies are definitely different, the latter's film aesthetics are indeed sharp, while the former Chu Shun learned from his memory that he wanted to express "metaphysics", that is, the first philosophy to discuss the essence of everything, the idea is very good, but the content is a little collapsed.

The key is that Chu Shun's subsequent works are too successful, people's inertial thinking, filmed by the same director, and not long after the interval, there must be something......

The next day, it was another sober day for LSPs.

Chu Shun was eating melon seeds next to him, sitting on a pony and watching, and the actors were wearing sportswear and face protectors.

"Rhea went to the bar for a drink after we finished today and found a remote bar nearby. Mirek said to Rhea at the beginning.

"We can't leave the training hall after closed training, right?" Rhea wondered.

"No, I specifically asked the director, the closed training is just not allowed to give interviews, and it is okay to stay here and have a drink nearby. Mirek said.

Rhea nodded in agreement, he also thought that he should drink two drinks after exercising, and the two of them were about to call their assistants.

The life assistant of the star also lives in the training hall with the star.

"On the first day, we got used to the workout and ran eight miles to warm up. Zhou Wuji said.

In the first half of the sentence, Rhea was about to say that he often played baseball and didn't need to adapt to coming directly, but before the words could be spoken, he heard the second half of the sentence and swallowed it back.

"Five miles?"

All the actors are sluggish, five miles is equivalent to eight kilometers, is it really a warm-up? Of course, except for Yu Min, it is very easy for her.

"Hurry up, get moving. Zhou Wuji didn't give the actors a chance to communicate, and made the actors start running while talking.

Running around the playground, Zhou Wuji held a telescope and a megaphone, and if an actor was slow, he would use the megaphone to remind him.

Five miles later, everyone except Perth and Yu Min was out of breath.

Yu Min's breathing was steady, and the overall feeling was understatement, while Perth's heart was beating a little faster, and fine sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

"Perth, you're so strong. Mirek put his hands on his knees, his mouth dry.

He is forty-five years old, and as a representative of Hollywood's young fame, he has lived a perennial debauched life, and his body is very weak, and he looks quite strong, but he only looks.

Mirek is an actor who plays Smith and has several fights, so the intensity of the workout is not small.

"Don't stop, walk around the playground when you're tired. Zhou Wuji said, he asked about the fighting style of "The Matrix", thinking that because Smith and Morpheus are in the matrix, even high-intensity fights should be very calm, which requires a decent physical reserve.

Zhou Wuji's first step is to increase the physical fitness of the actors, and the physical fitness is almost the second step, the exercise of movement coordination, and the fighting style lesson in the movie is put at the end.

Rhea felt that he didn't have much energy to finish the five miles, and Mirek was even more so, and after the run, he wanted to sit down and rest, and then turned his face and said he wouldn't continue.

But before saying this, Mirek looked at the director who was sitting next to him and was eating melon seeds, and remembered his own debts, so he didn't dare to speak.

As Mirek, who became famous at a young age, if he really has the character of hard work, he will not be the peak of his debut.

"Mirek is the least fit, then Rhea and Perth is the most fit. Zhou Wuji recorded that everyone's basic qualities are different, so he will record the limits of each actor, and then develop ways to increase physical fitness individually.

Seriously, the trainer Zhou Wuji is professional, as one of the two most famous martial arts fingers in China, and also the head of the Zhou family class, many of the Zhou family classes are trained by him, that is, he did not take the test, if he goes to the test, Zhou Wuji should have no problem getting a training coach qualification certificate.

"Well, I'm glad I'm a director and don't have to train. Chu Shun watched from the side, the only feeling left in his heart.

Playing with my mobile phone, I watched the actors howling from time to time, which was also comfortable.

The lunch meal was a nutritious meal prepared by the dietitian invited by Chu Shun, and then after talking with the dietitian.

Seeing that the actors worked so hard, Chu Shun was embarrassed to eat food in person, so he went out to eat hot pot, and when he came back slowly after eating, the afternoon training had begun.

"Your lower limbs are tired, but your upper body hasn't reached its limit yet, and it's okay if you can't stand up, lie flat on your abs and hold dumbbells in your hands, going up and down like rowing. ”

"Twenty, and then fifteen forbidden. ”

"If you want to rest, you don't get tired from standing against the wall, so you can stand against the wall for 20 minutes. ”

"Whether it's karate, judo or Chinese kung fu, waist and abdominal strength is very important, and I think you can also do a few sets of lower body crunches. ”

......

At the end of the first day of training, in order to test everyone's limits, Zhou Wuji almost used the gym set, but this set was enough to work.

Rhea felt her legs tremble, and he asked Mirek if he was still going to the bar.

Mirek didn't want to open his mouth, he just shook his head, that's right, this is why Chu Shun agreed to let Mirek feel free, he didn't think that after Zhou Wuji's "torture" during the day, he still had the mind to go out to the bar.

"Mr. Perth took the trouble to call my assistant. Rhea handed the phone to Perth, who was in the best condition, and Mirek shuddered and reached for it.

Perth understood in seconds, called the life assistant of the two, and asked the assistant to come down and help the person back to the room, he now also felt a little light on the ground.

The two assistants came to the venue in a daze, originally they went back to change their clothes, and then prepared to go to Hi, but ......

"I still have to practice, this Chinese female star is too crazy. Perth looked at Yu Min, still boxing, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

He knew very well that Yu Min's training volume was still above him before, and even so, he could continue to practice, which was a monster.

"It is also said that Chinese people don't know Chinese kung fu. Perth rubbed the corners of his eyes, it was too scary, and he went back to his room.

After Zhou Wuji ate dinner, he kept adjusting the plan in the room, adding Perth, Mirek, Rhea and others to the limit of physical fitness, and making deletions and additions.

He muttered to himself: "The first day will be easy, it will always be easier to adapt, and it seems that I am a little dissatisfied with seeing Director Chu looking at my phone from time to time next to me." ”

"Tomorrow is the starting point of training. ”
