David Leitch is the kind of director whose style is particularly distinct.

It doesn't matter if you're right or not, it's over!

However, "Lethal Weapon", he didn't do it, in addition to because the screenwriter was not him, and the previous work, that is, "Fast and Furious: Special Ops", the box office and reputation were not particularly ideal...

The production cost is as high as 200 million, and the North American box office is only 173 million...

Of course, he can say that the movie has nothing to do with him, and he was dragged over to be the director...

I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL A STORY, I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO PICK ACTORS, I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO EDIT, PEOPLE ARRANGE EVERYTHING PROPERLY, YOU ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR HOLDING THE SHOTS, AND IT'S OKAY TO LET THE AUDIENCE'S ADRENALINE RUSH ...

But after all, you are a nominal director.

I did mess up a super A-level big production!

Therefore, when it came to "Lethal Weapon", he decided to change his style, he made his debut as an actor, and his first work was called "Crossing the River Dragon", which was the American drama in which Hong Jinbao entered the United States.

"Crossing the River Dragon", produced in CBS1998, filmed more than 20 episodes, and was the national ratings champion at that time!

However, Hong Jinbao did not continue to stay in the United States because of the popularity of this drama, he felt that the Chinese characters in the United States at that time were very stereotypical, and he once complained that the Chinese in American movies were all grown up in the United States, and they would not how to portray a Chinese from China!

The older generation of filmmakers is indeed more stubborn in this regard...

Actually, this is normal.

Especially in recent years, in Chinese films, other countries have not seen how strong they are...

Which country makes a movie is not to belittle other countries and tout itself - "The Great Wall" belongs to the Sino-US co-production;

Wash the white of "Beacon Fangfei", this movie should not be established!

20 years ago, "Yellow River Love" is an old stalk, and now it is still used...

A kind Chinese woman warms the American pilot...

Back to "Lethal Weapon", the first part, David Leitch minimized the use of firearms, and let Shen Ming rely on his fists and feet, grabbing anything casually, it can be used as a weapon.

Shen Ming plays a Chinese veteran special forces soldier who runs a private detective agency in San Francisco's Chinatown, and is targeted by a local gang because of a case, and in order to prevent him from continuing to investigate the case, they arrange a bunch of killers to stop...

The plot is very old-fashioned, but the screenwriter continues the gangster setting of "Fast Pursuit", a world of hidden underground killers, whether it is a hotel, a corpse collector...

The fights are equally fast, accurate, ruthless, clean and high.

Shen Ming read the script and asked first: "... Warner wants to buy Lionsgate?"

"There is this idea. ”

The answer to him was the producer of "Lethal Weapons", Bruce Berman.

“… So, I'm going to fight Keanu Reeves?"

"Probably not, what you share is just a world view, but we will arrange for you to be in the fourth part of "Fast Pursuit"..."

Shen Ming's expression was very calm, and he complained in his heart: Do you want to make any movie into a movie universe?

……

"Can you change the snack? I don't really like chocolate!"

According to the setting, the detective played by Shen Ming likes to eat chocolate very much.

Especially when it's time to fight...

“… However, Hershey gave $8 million in sponsorship!"

“… OK！”

Daddy, I can't afford to mess with you!

$8 million in sponsorship, not to mention chocolate, dog food, you have to eat it all!

TOOK THE LONG SMALL PACKAGE HANDED BY THE DIRECTOR'S ASSISTANT, GRAY, WITH A LINE OF BIG WORDS 'HERSHEY'S' ON IT, SHEN MING TORE OPEN THE PACKAGE, THREW ONE, AND HELD IT IN HIS MOUTH...

It's so sweet!

“… How's it taste?"

"It doesn't matter... By the way, who is this Yoona?"

Shen Ming's ability to accept snacks is very strong, as long as he can eat them, by the way, he pointed to a familiar name on the cast...

"It's a Korean actor... They say you know her well!"

“… Yoona?

"Yes, that's the name!"

"Why didn't you notify me of the casting?"

"Bruce said there had to be a Korean actor..."

"Why aren't you Japanese? I like Yui Aragaki a lot!"

“Who？”

"It's okay, you go get busy first, I'll get used to the taste of chocolate..."

Lin Yun'er's role is a killer, and the weight is about the same as the female number four - there are only a few female characters in the first part, the landlord of Jack (the character name played by Shen Ming) and the second-in-command of the gang...

The female No. 4 is a trick of playing soy sauce, the kind that was killed by Shen Ming in a few rounds...

Shen Ming took out his mobile phone and sent a text message asking where Lin Yun'er was now.

Soon replied: "At the drinking party..."

"Cocktail party?"

"Drinking party hosted by Xijie Entertainment and Warner Bros...."

I see!

Cj Entertainment prepares to partner with Warner Bros.

“… No one is making things difficult for you, is there?"

"No, they were all polite to me!"

“… Okay, if anyone wants you to do something bad, just give me my name!

After thinking about it, I deleted the last sentence...

It's so shocking!

After chatting for a few words, the two made an appointment to meet later, Shen Ming walked out of the dressing room and officially filmed...

In other words, South Korean entertainment groups have been talking to Hollywood a few years ago, and Xijie Entertainment has a stake in DreamWorks and won the exclusive distribution rights of DreamWorks works in South Korea and China.

Later, the DreamWorks label was taken over by Viacom, and Xijie Entertainment began to represent Paramount's films...

In recent years, Paramount has been able to sell some money in addition to the "Mission Impossible" series, and the other works launched have almost all lost money!

Last year, Paramount's highest-grossing film was "Terminator: Dark Fate," which grossed less than $500 million worldwide...

So, Xijie wants to develop new allies, understandably!

Why not find Disney?

Disney has offices in every country around the world, and people don't need allies...

As for why you took Lin Yun'er...

Because Xijie Entertainment has Lin Yuna's movie contract in hand!

It is estimated that Lin Yuna herself is willing to go to Hollywood...

If you are like Cheng Xiao, you don't really want to develop in Hollywood, everyone has different ideas, not everyone dreams of breaking into Hollywood, and staying in your hometown may not be a good choice...

Another point is that South Korea is like a vassal of the United States, and if star actors can go to Hollywood to gild, their value will inevitably rise...

……

is a lesser-known restaurant.

But the scenery is very good, with Santa Monica Beach in the back, and there are a lot of people coming and going.

The two of them found a place by the window, and when they turned their heads, they could see the lazy daylight...

Lin Yun'er asked, "How do you know about this place?"

"Last week, I accompanied Cheng Xiao to make a Ferris wheel here..."

“… What about Cheng Xiao?"

"She returned to China the day before yesterday to promote her movie, a steak, mashed potatoes and ice water, thank you!"

"Me too..."

Shen Minghu glanced at Lin Yun'er suspiciously, and the latter was a little embarrassed: "My English is a little poor, Sika taught me, if you eat with someone, just say Me too!"

"But I ordered a steak..."

"It's okay, I like beef!"

Shen Ming changed the subject: "... How did you get Deadly Weapon?"

"Audition, how else can I get the role?"

“… Okay, but you don't have a lot of roles. ”

"I'm a newcomer, it's good to be on the big screen!"

"That's right, in fact, Koreans have been a big force in Hollywood in recent years, and the American drama of the same name "Lethal Weapon" is also in preparation, maybe you can finish the movie and get a big role in the TV series!"

“… That's what my agent thinks too!"

"Come on... By the way, you..."

Shen Ming suddenly shuddered, and he clearly felt a foot stretching out from under the table and rubbing his calf.

And the table was closed, so no one could see it.

It is said that the push and pull between men and women, hooking each other's calves with their feet, is one of the big moves.

The overflowing squeamishness was like a flame, bubbling in my heart.

Just one word, itch!

Shen Ming subconsciously thought that she was seducing herself...

But it's not like ah, even if you want to seduce, you have to finish eating...

If you don't have enough to eat, how can you have the strength to do things?

“… Why don't you say it?"

Lin Yun'er asked rhetorically with an innocent face.

"It's okay, I just want to ask you, what should I do in China?"

“… I can't get a good script, and I take the pure route, some scripts are too much, I can't act!"

That's right, South Korea has a bunch of 19 banned works every year...

There is no shortage of good works.

You are like "Chaser", "Miss", "Scarlet Letter", and "My PS Partner" are all large-scale works, but the reputation is not bad...

But these works, Lin Yuner is not suitable!

Lin Yuner's basic plate is a fan who saved up when she was mixing teams before, and this can't be lost casually.

Shen Ming nodded: "That's right, I can't accept it anyway..."

"What is unacceptable?"

“… It's nothing, the dish is here, let's eat, this steak is very delicious!"

Lin Yun'er looked at Shen Ming's expression, smiled secretly in her heart, and then stretched out her legs and rubbed his calves...

Is it a dirty shoe and want to wipe it?

Looking down, it was a foot that was out of low-level fun, beautiful and upturned, with moderate fat and thin wrists and ankles, wonderful and natural...

Forget it, don't blow it, it's a little too big ...

"What size shoes do you wear?"

"Huh?"

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually!"
