Chapter 118: Request

Louis is a man of pursuit!

This is Shen Ming's background color for this role!

The actor must have a background color for the role, and the background color must be accurate!

If you get even the background color wrong, how can you create a character?

To give a simple example, my brother Yuan's "Raiders of Yanxi Palace", everyone praises Brother Yuan's good performance, which is indeed the case, because he grasps the background color of the character: the spirit of the emperor, whether he is in love or lamenting the death of the queen, the final foothold is the emperor...

It just so happened that "The Legend of Ruyi" next door was launched, and Brother Yuan beat Mr. 50 million...

Back to Luis, he has a lot of great qualities!

Strong concentration, absolute self-analysis ability, keen sense of smell, strong execution, and ability to analyze human weaknesses. The most important point, and the one that everyone criticizes the most, is the moral standard without a bottom line...

As long as he can succeed, he doesn't mind killing!

If I had to describe the theme of this film in one objective sentence, it would be the contradiction between greedy self-pursuit and universal moral standards.

Shen Ming first saw the script, because Louis was completely bad, so he was shocked...

But from a certain point of view, he is also pursuing himself.

Louis starts out as a bastard with nothing to do, but from the very beginning of the story, he behaves differently than many people.

Who would tell their boss their motto during an interview?

Obviously, this boss does not have a high level of thinking, or in other words, this boss has no self-planning.

……

In the first shot, Shen Ming is cutting the protective net.

These wires can be sold for money...

Then noticing that someone is coming, with the same expression, throws the scissors into the trunk of the car, waiting for someone to come ...

The lens assembly is aimed at him.

Gray jacket, short hair, flashlight shining on his face, he raised his hand to block the bright light, his eyes were very... It's very calm, and there is no feeling of being a thief.

"Why are you here?"

"What's wrong?"

"This is a forbidden area, outsiders can't enter casually!"

“… I don't know..."

"You're here to steal something, I want to see your papers..."

Shen Ming looked at the visitor seriously: "What kind of uniform are you wearing?

"Now I'm asking you questions..."

It's good if it's not a policeman...

Shen Ming took out his driver's license and was about to say something, when he saw the watch on the wrist of this security guard, his eyes lit up...

"I think we might have some misunderstanding..."

At the moment when the security guard took over the driver's license, Shen Ming directly controlled his arm with a grappler, followed by a direct whip leg, and the buddy fainted directly...

"Click!"

Director Dan Gilroy was a little surprised: "... Shen, you didn't tell me that you know Chinese kung fu!"

“… These are not kung fu, or the most basic moves, many Chinese will!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

As for the black man who was knocked to the ground playing the role of a security guard, uh... Shen Ming relented, so he just cooperated with the performance...

"Very good, since Louis has changed to Chinese, it should be better to add a little kung fu element!"

Dan Gilroy nodded, acknowledging Shen Ming...

In fact, what is written in the script is that Louis hit the security guard and snatched the watch, and how he was knocked down is not described...

The next shooting is Shen Ming with a trunk of harvest for money...

He wanted to raise the price a little, but unfortunately the person in charge didn't eat him!

Despite his excellent negotiation skills, it is useless...

"Sir, can I work for you?"

"It's not that I'm boasting, I have high goals and I'm persevering for them..."

The lines were said quickly, but unfortunately the opponent actor's sentence ended: "I won't hire a damn thief!"

Shen Ming was expressionless at first, staring at him with dead eyes, and then smiled...

This laugh is meaningful.

He was not convinced!

Louis comes from a low level, and a lion sleeps inside.

He has always wanted to enter the mainstream, but is not accepted by society, he has his own set of logic, wants to change his destiny, and has learned a lot of knowledge on the Internet, including management, information processing, etc...

He doesn't miss an opportunity, he remains sensitive and curious about the world, he doesn't mind the industry and the type of work, because he has nothing to lose, and he tries to seize every opportunity to change the status quo of his life.

A traffic scandal brought him into contact with journalism for the first time!

The so-called news industry is the first-hand video footage of various accident and homicide scenes that can be sold to TV stations and obtain high returns...

He bluntly offered to join the gang, but unfortunately was rejected...

He decided to go it alone!

So he exchanged the stolen bicycle for a handheld DV and a police walkie-talkie, and since then he has embarked on the road of news media as a first-hand video provider.

……

On the side of "Nightcrawler", the filming is in an orderly manner.

Shen Ming's good friend, Wu Jing is in trouble!

He is preparing for "Wolf Warrior 2", the script has been completed, and the investment or something is in place...

With the foundation of the first part, the financing of "Wolf Warrior 2" is very smooth.

The production cost is 150 million, and the producer has put the money into the account at one time!

Trust him a lot!

The first part of "Wolf Warrior" can win more than 500 million box office, it doesn't make sense that the second part will be worse, the producer estimates that it should be able to win 800 million box office!

The funds are in place, the script is ready, and now it's time for the character selection.

The second male in the script is a middle two plus a gentle inner look like a "bear child", who was slapped in the face by all kinds and bit his tongue to get up and continue...

The setting is around twenty-five years old.

Then you definitely have to look for young actors!

Wu Jing found a lot of small fresh meat, either the asking price was too high or he was afraid of being tired...

Some even said something like, 'My artist can't tan, go to Africa to shoot, you better find someone else!'

It's hard to...

I didn't even read the script and refused directly!

Damn, what should I do?

I can only call Shen Ming!

When Brother Ming received the call, he was sleeping...

"Night Stalker" is full of night plays, day and night are reversed, it took Shen Ming several days to get used to, and he finished work at 8 o'clock in the morning, slept soundly, and was woken up by the phone.

I took it and took a look, it was Wu Jing...

You Qi was powerless to connect, and Wu Jing's voice on the other side was full of anger: "What are you doing?"

“… Sleep..."

"No, I'm asking you what you're doing now!"

"Oh, make a movie. ”

"What movie?"

"Nightcrawler, a drama..."

"What kind of drama film, come and make an action movie with me!"

Shen Ming woke up completely: "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

"Yes, are you coming?"

“… What time?"

"You... You should join the group in October..."

"Okay, I'll have a schedule after October!"

Wu Jing was taken aback, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, didn't he need to ask his agent's opinion?

“… Shall I send you the script?"

"No need, when the time comes to promote "Kill the Wolf 2", give me the same script!"
