205. Xu Shi's dismount (6400 words, ask for subscription!)
The filming of "The Witch" was also relatively smooth, and Xu Shi took advantage of the time of filming to watch it a few times, and found that the process was very good, so Xu Shi gradually came less.
And the filming of "God of Medicine" is not to mention, and I don't know if it's because of Xu Shi's improved acting skills, basically there are few stuck, and many scenes are still over and over again.
This made Xu Shi seem to be more idle sometimes, and he was not in a hurry to catch up with the schedule, so he shot according to the plan.
It just so happened that Xu Shi didn't have any role in the past few days, and he was about to take a little rest, when he received a call from William.
When they were in Milan, the two sides had already exchanged contact information, and the two had not been in touch much during this time, and Xu Shi thought that William would not have time.
"Hello William, why did you remember to call me. Xu Shi said with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, I called you this time just to confirm with you what we are discussing in Milan, I don't know if you have time now. William didn't have too much politeness, and directly explained his intentions.
Xu Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "You say." ”
"That's right, we've been filming for a while now, and it's time to shoot the action scenes, so if you have time, then come to us and be the action director for our film. William invited.
Xu Shidao: "You mean you can also find time to come to our side?"
Of course, Xu Shi is happy about such a result, and William's achievements in drag racing scenes and explosion scenes are really not boastful.
And this time I went to Hollywood, I can also promote martial arts in Hollywood, I don't need to have much recognition, I just need to give people an impression.
"Of course, after your side is over, I also happen to have time to go to Huaxia. William said without any fuss.
Xu Shi immediately said: "Then I will go over tomorrow, how long will it take this time?"
"My movies are mainly drag racing scenes, and there are not many scenes, if it goes well, half a month is enough. William said.
Xu Shidao: "That's okay, it just so happens that the filming progress on my side is very good, and I have some free time." ”
In this way, the two agreed on a fixed time, and then hung up the phone after a little chat.
Zhang Kui, who was on the side, heard their conversation clearly, and asked in surprise: "William, William James?"
That's all he can think of, after all, William James is still not a small fame.
And Xu Shi said that he would help guide the action scenes, so Zhang Kui naturally thought of him.
Xu Shi nodded and said, "It's him, what's wrong?"
"When did you meet? And you're going to the United States, what about the God of Medicine?" Zhang Kui asked several questions in a row.
Xu Shi said with a smile: "We met in Milan, that is, when I went to participate in the catwalk, our William had already agreed, I would help him design the play, and he would help me do the drag racing scene." ”
"Really?" Zhang Kui suddenly couldn't help but exclaim, after all, William's drag racing scene is famous all over the world.
Huang Bing, who had finished filming a scene over there, came over and was about to take a look at the monitor, which was also his habit after becoming a director.
Fortunately, Zhang Kui didn't care about this, he had long been used to it, and he didn't feel awkward at all.
At this moment, when he heard Zhang Kui's exclamation, he said in surprise: "What's the matter? What did you two say? What is really fake? By the way, how did I act just now?"
"Ahem, what's that, Brother Huang, you'd better take a look for yourself. Zhang Kui was embarrassed to say that he was eavesdropping on Xu Shi's phone call just now, and he didn't look at the monitor much.
Huang Bing didn't say much, first watched the play he had just played, felt quite satisfied, and then asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
"That's right, Brother Xu and the American director William James reached a cooperation, Brother Xu went to help him design the action scenes, and he came here to help us design the drag racing scenes. Zhang Kui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he spoke.
This is a very beneficial thing for their films, although there are not many drag racing scenes in "The God of Medicine", but it is still very beneficial to the quality of the film to be able to invite the best director in this area.
Huang Bing, who heard the news, couldn't help but be surprised, and then looked at Xu Shi and exclaimed, "You're going international?"
Brother Huang laughed, what kind of international is this, it's just a small cooperation, it can be regarded as mutual benefit. Xu Shi said with a smile.
"It's not easy, anyway, being able to participate in William's filmmaking is also a kind of qualification, which is good for you to think that it is good for you to develop internationally. Huang Bing said.
said that he was a little envious, although he is very well-known in China and is also a god in acting, but in comparison, his international popularity is not good, and it is not as good as some small fresh meat.
This made him a little embarrassed, and he also wanted to develop internationally, but for various reasons, he never succeeded.
Of course, he also understands that Xu Shi is definitely going to impact internationally, which is what every director dreams of.
Just like an actor's acting and directing, everyone wants to show their level internationally and leave their own shadow.
It's just that he didn't expect Xu Shi's day to come so quickly, and now he has the conditions to rush to the world.
It seems that since he came to Xu Shi's crew, he has often envied Xu Shi, first for the crew's right to speak, and then this time, he always feels that Xu Shi is too lucky compared to them.
However, he actually understands that Xu Shi can have his current status, some of which is luck, but more of it is his character of daring to fight.
Now Xu Shi's action scenes are a box office call in Huaxia, and it took many years for him to become a box office call, but Xu Shi only relied on two movies!
When Xu Shi heard his words, he said with a smile: "It's not so simple, now I'm just going to help design a play, if you want to rush to the world, it's still a lot of difficulty." ”
"Haha, it's all a matter of time, don't forget my brother when the time comes. Huang Bing couldn't help but say.
He suddenly thought, can he achieve his goal on Xu Shi's side?
Xu Shidao: "Of course, if there is really such a day, I hope that Brother Huang will help a lot." ”
Xu Shi can be regarded as giving a small promise, and this is also a matter of mutual benefit.
If one day Xu Shi really starts to rush internationally, Huang Bing is undoubtedly a very good partner, and his acting skills can be compared with some top stars in the world.
It's just that due to various reasons, he has not been able to show his acting skills internationally.
When Huang Bing heard Xu Shi's words, surprise flashed in his eyes.
And Zhang Kui on the side also had a flickering eye, in fact, in the original plan, after probably following Xu Shi to shoot two or three more movies, he would propose to Xu Shi to shoot movies independently.
I believe that at that time, Xu Shi will definitely agree.
But now he suddenly changed his attention, although independent shooting is very tempting, but to be able to follow Xu Shi to the international stage, this is even more attractive to him.
Even Lin Yuming, who watched them chatting and came over, couldn't help but interject: "Brother Xu, is William really going to come to our side to help shoot the drag racing scene?"
He had come over since Xu Shi was chatting with Huang Bing, so he also heard the news that William was coming to help.
Xu Shi said with a smile: "Of course, in fact, this also has something to do with you, and you will also join some of these scenes a little at that time, I hope you are ready, by the way, have you bought insurance?"
Hearing Xu Shi mention the issue of insurance, Lin Yuming's heart couldn't help but burst out, and he said a little nervously: "What, Brother Xu, it won't be too dangerous, right?"
Xu Shi and Huang Bing glanced at each other, and then they both laughed.
He was actually making fun of Lin Yuming just now, because he also learned what Lin Yuming had said before from Huang Bing's mouth, so he couldn't help but scare him.
Seeing their appearance, Lin Yuming didn't know that he had been deceived, and immediately said dissatisfied: "Brother Huang, are you saying bad things about me, and Brother Xu, don't bring you like this." ”
Xu Shi held back a smile, and then said with some seriousness: "This is really not all a joke, although your role is not very dangerous, it is still a little dangerous."
Of course, you can not participate in such a scene, and I can find a stuntman when the time comes. ”
This time, Xu Shi really didn't force it, after all, it was a dangerous thing, and Xu Shi would never force anyone in this regard, including the actors of the Jingwu Sect.
It's just that because he leads by example in the Jingwu Sect, the people in the Jingwu Sect are also used to it.
But for Lin Yuming, he really didn't want to ask for anything.
Lin Yuming's face changed for a moment, and then he collapsed and said, "Hey, I'm on the thief ship." ”
Although he didn't understand, the meaning was also obvious, he was going to go into battle in person, there was no way, since he met Xu Shi, he had never seen Xu Shi use a stand-in for some dangerous scenes.
Not only Xu Shi, but even any actor from Jingwumen, so he didn't want to be a drag on himself.
And if he used a stand-in, he might be scolded to death by the audience immediately, although he knew that Xu Shi would not say it outside, but how could the current crew keep it secret.
Just like the filming of "The Witch" two days ago, Zheng Guosheng's matter was on the entertainment news, and there is a video to prove it.
Fortunately, this video was not deliberately edited, everything was filmed very clearly, and no one blamed Xu Xiaoxiao and She Yueling for being too ruthless.
Although this incident also made "The Witch" popular, it once again proved one thing, that is, no matter how strict the director is, what should be leaked must be leaked, and there is no secret at all.
It's just that the crew also knows that it's bad, and there is nothing like this filming tidbits that have been passed out, and the crew won't be too obsessive.
If the main drama is leaked, the crew will not give up.
So now the audience's impression of Xu Shi's movies is that they are really acting, no, it should be said that they all have such views on Jingwumen's movies, which have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if they do it themselves, maybe the reputation will decline immediately.
Now he is a critical stage of transformation, and it is better to have negative effects like this or not.
And Lin Yuming doesn't want to miss this opportunity, this is William James, or his forte, it will definitely be more eye-catching.
These reasons are the reasons why Lin Yuming chose to participate in the show.
Xu Shi didn't know that he had thought about so many things for a while, he just admired Lin Yuming's attitude.
And the scene he envisioned is not really dangerous, it is guaranteed to be safe, even if there is an accident, it will be a fracture.
In fact, in recent years, not to mention the eighties and nineties, that is, 10 years ago, actors were injured many times.
There are countless scenes that may cause physical problems such as going into the water in winter, and many older actors now actually have all kinds of problems, many of which are the consequences of acting back then.
So if such a thing really takes its turn, it's actually nothing.
Xu Shi dealt with the matter here, he was about to go to the United States, and he would be there for half a month, so his role would be put on hold for the time being.
And he also needs to book in advance the part where William will come over to shoot the drag racing scene half a month later, and he needs to prepare in advance.
So Xu Shi needed to deal with a lot of things, and Xu Shi only slept for two hours that night to deal with these things.
As for the company, Xu Shi just told Xu Mei that now that the company's affairs are on the right track, he doesn't need to do too much.
I have to say that with Xu Mei's help, he saved too much time, otherwise even if he hired a professional manager, Xu Shi would not be too relieved.
At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Xu Shi got on a plane and went to Los Angeles, USA, and he didn't bring many people, but only took Song Liwu and Xu Haoxian plus three people who were interested in martial arts.
This is a good opportunity to see each other, and Xu Shi thought that by the way, it would be beneficial for them to let them also see the action scenes in the United States.
On the plane, Xu Shi also received a lot of popularity, and now Xu Shi's popularity in China is not small.
It's all too normal for fans to sign autographs.
Xu Shi has never had much understanding of his celebrity identity, so he is quite easy-going with these fans.
Can you not be easy-going, every time the flight attendant sees Xu Shi and a group of people playing cards on the plane, she is a little speechless.
They have never seen a star like this, who actually played cards directly with fans.
It's really too boring on the plane, and now Xu Shi doesn't like to play games very much, since he came to this world, he rarely plays games, and spends most of his time practicing martial arts.
So correspondingly, it's a lot less entertaining.
At the beginning, it was Xu Shi and Song Liwu, Xu Hao played cards first, but after a while, someone wanted to join.
However, this kind of Xu Shi also makes them like it even more, and such an easy-going star seems to be very good.
The plane flew for about sixteen hours, and by the time the plane arrived in Los Angeles, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
William and two people were at the airport to greet Xu Shi, and the two sides exchanged politeness, then went to the hotel to rest first, and then had dinner.
I have to say that William did a good job in this regard, and in order to take care of Xu Shi's taste, he directly chose a more authentic Chinese restaurant.
When they were on the plane, Xu Shi and they didn't sleep, in order to adjust their work and rest time.
So after eating, Xu Shi directly rejected William's invitation to continue entertaining, and took Song Liwu and the others back to sleep first.
The next day, Xu Shi and the others came to the crew, and when they saw Xu Shi and their arrival, some people looked at them with curious eyes.
These people also knew Xu Shilai's purpose, and William had already explained the matter before.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Mr. Xu Shixu from Huaxia............" William introduced both sides, so that everyone could get to know each other.
Xu Shi and they are still familiar with several leading actors, and they are internationally renowned stars, although they are not superstars, they are not to be underestimated.
This is the advantage of Hollywood stars, as long as they are famous in Hollywood, then they are equivalent to having a certain amount of fame on a global scale.
This is also something that can't be helped, who makes the family the boss in this industry now.
After introducing each other to each other, William was ready to arrange work, but at this time someone spoke.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I don't mean to look down on Huaxia martial arts, but from some of my experience, Huaxia martial arts don't seem to have much lethality.
Although the ornamentation is good, what we want is not ornamental, but also the kind of blood and passion, which seems to be not shown in Chinese martial arts. Thomson said with a serious expression.
He really didn't mean anything else, and the purpose was also for the filming of the movie, so he spoke more impulsively.
Thomson is the star of this movie.
William also introduced the content of the movie's script to Xu Shi, and the theme is that a group of robbers rob a bank and are then chased by the police, mixed with some deep conspiracies.
is similar to Xu Shi's "Fast and Furious" in his previous life, so Xu Shi directly has some intuitive impressions.
In fact, Xu Shi had already expected this, and of course he also knew the current impression of Chinese martial arts in the world.
Xu Shi said solemnly: "Thomson, this is a complete fallacy, maybe what you see is indeed the case, but that does not represent Chinese martial arts.
Since our Chinese martial arts were created, they are meant to kill the enemy, not to perform. ”
In any case, it is impossible for Xu Shi to make concessions in this matter, he needs to correct this impression, which is also the purpose of his here.
The others also looked at the two of them at this time, in fact, Thomson's words just now were also what they wanted to say.
Thomson frowned, and wanted to say something more, but Xu Shi didn't give him a chance to speak again, and said directly: "I can't make you believe a thousand things and ten thousand, why don't you get started?"
Xu Shi knew that he couldn't convince the public no matter what, so he was ready to prove them wrong directly with his actions.
Thomson looked at Xu Shi's body that did not look strong, and said unexpectedly: "Are you serious? I am here to show that I really have no malicious intent." ”
Xu Shi nodded seriously: "Of course, I don't mean anything else, even if it is for the next shooting plan to go smoothly, I have to convince you!"
Xu Shi's words began to be a little sharp, he didn't want to convince people with reason this time, he was ready to convince people with force.
And just like he said, no matter what, if you want to shoot the next action scenes smoothly, Xu Shi also needs to give these people a dismount!
"I explained in advance that although I am not a professional boxer, I have practiced sanda and boxing, and I have fought with some people, and it is not all fancy. ”
"Please!" Xu Shi didn't say much, his legs were staggered, one hand was behind his back, and his right hand was stretched forward, signaling that he could start.
This suddenly attracted more people's attention, and at this time, they all formed a circle, surrounding the two of them, and some people were still clamoring for Thomson to teach Xu Shi a lesson.
Of course, no one dared to say something nasty, at most just shouting.
Now is not the past, now China's national strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the economy is taking off, and the film market has become the world's largest market.
No one dares to make improper remarks at will, unless he really doesn't want to make money in Huaxia, even if he doesn't want to, the company behind him will make him look good.
Thomson didn't say anything when he saw Xu Shi's appearance, he first moved his body, and then looked at Xu Shi and said, "Then I'm welcome, you can attack first." ”
"No need, as long as you let me leave this circle, I will lose!" Xu Shi looked more and more arrogant, he needed to use the most drastic means to change the minds of these people, and at the same time establish his own prestige.
As he spoke, he drew a circle around him with his right foot, only one meter in diameter.
William on the side didn't speak, Xu Shi had already communicated with him before, so that he didn't have to intervene in it, and he would solve such a matter by himself.
"Hmph, I hope you don't regret it!" Thomson was so angry by Xu Shi's words that he didn't say anything more, he wanted to teach the megalomaniac a lesson.
Thomson put on a boxing stance, and then rushed over with small steps, and a horizontal punch slammed directly into Xu Shi's face.
Xu Shi, who originally looked weak, changed in an instant at this moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his right hand was directly clenched into a fist, without using any moves, just exerting force on his waist, and then fist to fist!
"Bang!"
Thomson felt as if his fist had collided with an iron plate, and a sharp pain came instantly.
But before he could react, he saw Xu Shi's left foot take a slight half step, the whole person squatted slightly, leaned sideways, and at the same time, his right hand instantly grabbed Thomson's right arm and jerked forward.
The next moment, everyone seemed to see a fierce beast slamming into Thomson's chest, and everyone could see it, and in an instant, Thomson's feet began to leave the ground, and the whole person flew backwards.
But before he could react, Xu Shi reached out again, grabbed his collar, and directly dragged him over again.
The next moment, a scene that stunned everyone appeared, and Xu Shi directly used one hand to lift Thomson directly, and then slammed it hard!
Rumble!
Some of those who got close could feel the slightest tremor on the ground!
It was slow, but it was only two seconds before Thomson made his move, and Thomson couldn't move at all.
At the same time, there was a cry of pain from his mouth at this time!
Suddenly, the entire crew was silent, they really didn't expect Thomson to be so unbeaten, like a doll in front of Xu Shi, without the slightest room for resistance.
At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Xu Shi a little wrong, it seemed that this seemingly thin person was not what they saw, and there seemed to be a fierce beast hidden in the thin body.
And the means are so explosive, but they are full of violent aesthetics! This makes Thomson's words just now that there is no sense of violence in Chinese martial arts a joke!
Even William's eyes couldn't help but shrink at this time, he actually knew that Xu Shi had actual combat ability, because he had seen real Chinese martial arts, which was why he invited Xu Shi after seeing him.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Xu Shilai to become the action director of his movie, and it was because he understood that he made such a choice.
But he didn't expect that Xu Shi was so strong! And the sense of violence he showed was much stronger than the Chinese martial arts he had seen!
