After getting Arnold, Cameron began the casting of the male number two.

Cheng Long just came, first read the script on the side, and roughly understood what kind of film this is.

He is not bad by nature, he drank alcohol a few days ago, and he was in a hurry to behave in front of Teresa Teng, so he was a little prickly. After calming down, he realized that there was no benefit in having a bad relationship with Gu Biao.

In the circle, there are many people who are exquisite, so when Cheng Long heard that there was an opportunity, he came to cheer.

Gu Biao also asked him to bring some videotapes recording his previous martial arts scenes, so that Cameron could refer to the scene.

Of course, on Li Lianjie's side, when he played Ding Li's martial arts scene in "Hujiang Beach", Gu Biao also had a copy cut overnight, which was also used as a comparison.

Cameron took a general look at the style and proposed, "Cheng, Li, can you please make two moves with Arnold." Everyone has filmed, so it's good to put on a demonstration. But you have to imagine that Arnold is a super strong man, and you will definitely lose by fighting with him, relying on skill to win, or even just stalling for time - he is a robot. ”

Cheng Long felt that it was a little difficult to do, but he was still willing to cooperate.

Li Lianjie naturally has no requirements, let him do whatever he wants, everything he does is rewarded by Brother Gu, and he does not dare to have any disobedience.

Then, everyone in the crew, even the café owner and those waitresses, saw a thrilling scene of rare fighting, which seemed to be fist-to-flesh.

After only watching it for a few seconds, Cameron first shouted CUT, and then explained in a serious tone:

"Stop, Jacky, can you stop punching Arnold in the chest and then retract his hand and shake it a few times and pretend that his fist hurts? And this is not a kung fu comedy, this is a serious and cold post-apocalyptic sci-fi film. ”

Cheng Long was a little embarrassed, but still shrugged patiently: "Okay, I'm used to it, I've been in this style for the past three years." ”

However, although this place was changed, in the follow-up fight, Cheng Long still couldn't help but use various props to try to make the stupid big Arnold be molested and bumped into the props in various ways. After watching the improvisation for a while, Cameron realized that it didn't work.

In contrast, Li Lianjie lacks a sense of fast, accurate and ruthless blowing, and he can't follow Bruce Lee's sharp and swift path, but it seems that at least he is playing very seriously.

Cameron said in a consultative tone: "Gu, I think Cheng is more experienced, and at first glance, he has a boxing foundation, and he can combine movie fighting and kung fu routines." But he played too jokingly, and it seemed that it was not easy to change.

Lee's experience is quite different, especially if he doesn't know how to show sharpness and striking in front of the camera, and he should have no foundation in boxing and MMA. There are also some flaws in the actual shooting......"

Gu Biao nodded secretly, and then had a showdown with Cheng Long: "Brother Long, can you change the way of acting for my film, if you can promise not to play so funny again, I am willing to ask you to be the second male lead with a high salary." ”

Cheng Long hesitated slightly, but still refused: "No! I want to have my own style, I have worked hard for three years to form this style, and I want the audience to strengthen the stereotype of my style step by step! I don't want to be the second Bruce Lee!"

This involves the character planning of his life's acting career, even if he feels that this movie has a certain future, he is unwilling to take the risk of weakening his own character to make this money.

Then there is no need to talk about it, originally, Gu Biao doesn't ask about relatives, just wants to pursue the best performance effect.

"Well, even if you run for nothing. "Gu Biao said that it was good to serve coffee to the guests.

"You're welcome. Cheng Long walked away on business.

Gu Biao saw Cheng Long leave, and then looked at Li Lianjie: "Why, don't blame me for giving outsiders a chance." ”

Li Lianjie hurriedly bowed his head very sincerely: "No, Brother Long is a big star who has been famous for several years, I just filmed a TV series, I know I can't." ”

Gu Biao raised his hand to signal him to be quiet: "No, it's not the key, the key is the attitude." Your routines are good, but they lack camera expressiveness, as long as you are willing to learn, I will spend money to find a martial arts instructor - just find Yuan Baye, who helped Cheng Long design so many popular fights. ”

If you want to say who is the best kung fu superstar, maybe Cheng Li fans have their own disputes, and even some people who like Donnie Yen have to fight. But if you want to say who is the best in the field of "martial arts instruction/movement instruction", there should be no suspense.

Yuan Heping in 1980 had already helped Cheng Long shoot "Serpentine Trickster", "Drunken Fist", etc., as well as the previous "Mighty Eagle Claw Gong", and the level is obvious to all.

And his style is extremely adaptable, and he can always design the most wonderful action performance according to the genre of the film and the nuances of the mirror sense. "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the turn of the century in later generations amazed the entire Hollywood.

Historically, the cooperation opportunities between Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie did not appear until the early 90s, including the Huang Feihong and Zhang Sanfeng series. Gu Biao is now inadvertently ten years ahead of schedule.

As for contracts and breach of contract, Gu Biao can still afford it, this kind of part-time martial arts instructor is not expensive, and Jiahe's control over technical personnel such as martial arts is not as strict as that of actors.

The key is that Li Lianjie must work hard and make rapid progress.

"Brother Gu, don't worry! This is all the opportunity you gave, I don't want to be paid for this film, I can have such a good opportunity to learn skills, money is nothing, I promise to work hard every day to death, if it weren't for your support, how would I be today!"

Gu Biao said a few words to boost morale, thinking that the heroine was left unfinished. Now Linda Hamilton doesn't know where to hit the streets, or even if she has entered the industry.

He can only trust Cameron's vision and go with the flow.

At most, I want to emphasize in the script: this role needs to be a "female man" who can look okay, but not very beautiful.

I believe that Hollywood can always find such a female man.

In the end, because of joining Li Lianjie, the second male lead, Cameron was very professionally astute and proposed to Xiao Sui:

"Miss Xiao, considering the changes in the characters in the script, I hope you will delete the bed scene between the second male lead and Sarah Connor - although because of Bruce Lee's efforts, the material of Chinese-KongFu has been very well accepted by American audiences, but it is still very challenging for yellow men to sleep with white women, and most Americans can only accept white men sleeping with Asian women at best......

Don't be angry, I don't have a tendency to offend and look down on Asians, but this is the social reality, I am in business. At the same time, you can add a little scene at the beginning, such as a scene of talking on the phone in a shared apartment, doesn't it say that Sarah has just fallen out with her boyfriend who drives a Porsche, and his boyfriend is too busy to spend the weekend with her.

You assume that she was pregnant at the time, so you don't have to worry about who John Connor's father is, and you don't have to live up to the paradox of 'the time-traveler became the father of the man who sent the crosser'. ”

"I agree, it's for the sake of cultural identity, so let's do it. Gu Biao clapped.

Xiao Sui accepted it without hesitation.

Gu Biao finally ordered: "James, Arnold, a few of you, in the past two days, shoot a promotional video of about two minutes, or even if the film is ready, it will be used for styling and makeup." I may have to use it for some outreach. The $500,000 in the project company, you can reimburse the actual amount and ask my cousin for the bill. ”

The new project company registered by Gu Biao for the filming of "The Terminator" can only count on his cousin Lu Guangfu to take care of it financially, and there is not much account for the time being. For this reason, Gu Biao also gave his cousin a basic salary, and first made up for the scholarship he lost because he offended Chen Yuzhi, as a show of popularity.

……

Three days later, Gu Biao got a few minutes of shoddy film, then took Cameron with him and went to KUKA Robotics' R&D center in Irvine.

Gu Biao went to the routine technical negotiations first, and Cameron waited.

The daily negotiations were about to end, but Gu Biao began to cause trouble.

He pulled out a two-minute rip tape and filmed it privately in front of Mr. Stanton, the head of the Kuka robot negotiations.

"Mr. Stanton, don't you think that your company is too secretive in the technical cooperation negotiations with our Wanwan Lin's Electronics, and it is not ......sold that or that, and it is always trying to keep as many industrial links as possible in the local area, which is not sincere at all."

Stanton had been talking to Gu Biao for more than a week, and he didn't realize why Gu Biao suddenly became aggressive. He asked, "What do you mean?"

"I don't think the application prospects of photographic robots, or even many other industrial robots, should not appear in the United States - you just look at this tape. Gu Biao lit a cigar and pushed a videotape for a long time.

Mr. Stanton looked at him suspiciously, and then he became angry: "What do you mean by this? This is not the case with the robotic arm of our KUKA robots? Do you want to fabricate and publicize the death of a production line manager three years ago? We can accuse you! Don't think that this will make us more profitable!"

Gu Yuyun smiled lightly: "No, no, no, how could I fabricate the news, this is not intended to be news - I just want to make a movie and adapt some plots from real events to intersperse." I also registered a project company for this purpose, specializing in sci-fi films. It's Los Angeles, the capital of dreams, and anyone can make a movie, right? ”

Stanton was stunned for a moment, but instead smiled: "Who are you scarring, your cooperation with us, no matter how large the scale is, there will be no millions of dollars in net profits in the short term." Is it possible to make a science fiction movie in Hollywood without a few million dollars? You can't scare me with this kind of bluffing!"

"Maybe I'm a genius, I'm sure that if I make a movie, I can make money myself. Gu Biao had a natural expression.

"That's whatever you want!" Stanton was too lazy to talk nonsense, and he wouldn't accept the blackmail.

This is a private supplementary negotiation between the two sides, which is still to be recorded by both sides. Gu Biao didn't leave anyone behind, so he brought back the negotiation tape of the day, as well as some footage secretly taken at the KUKA Robot R&D Center.

Then, combined with what he saw and heard a few days ago, as well as the next set, he recorded the footage of those who might be tracking him.

If there is anything missing, Gu Biao will inexplicably ask Teresa Teng to come out for a party or something, and then make sure that the people who appear are people in the entertainment industry, and even take Cameron with him, and wait for his stalker to take the bait.

He believes that the people who routinely follow him will definitely not let go of these gatherings where he followed people in the pure entertainment industry.

After careful handling, Gu instructed Cameron to pay the entrance fee and materials, and became a member of the Hollywood Directors Guild. (There are still many non-union directors in Hollywood, but these people will not receive benefits and protections either.) If you just join the club, you will have to pay a relatively high additional fee, and the specific laws are very complicated. ）

Cameron had never been a director before, but he did as a special effects director, albeit only in one. On the premise that someone helps him pay various legal fees, of course, he is also willing to join the club and have multiple guarantees.

Then, he took the evidence of his framing that his creative freedom was restricted, and ran to cry.
