Chapter 479: Testing Liam Neeson

Peng Yichen directly ignored the eyes of the agent and staff behind Liam, and watched Liam continue to talk about his thoughts.

"First of all, you have to get rid of this sharp look that is full of the 'Liam Neeson' logo. If necessary, during the filming phase, every time you look at people, you subconsciously dodge, as if you are ready to run away at any moment. ”

This made Drenel want to speak, but Liam motioned not to let him speak.

Of course, Peng Yichen didn't pay attention to this, and continued to comment: "Also, your figure is too strong. I need you to wear looser clothes and look weaker. In this way, people can feel a little weaker. ”

In the movie, Damon is an escaped prisoner who has been on the run for many years and finally surrenders himself.

He couldn't have the time and energy to keep himself in shape.

On the contrary, most of the time, he is in a precarious life, and his body should be a little weak.

Of course, if it was just for this movie, a short scene of less than 5 minutes, Peng Yichen actually didn't need Liam to make such a big sacrifice.

However, in this life, there is a movie that Peng Yichen liked very much in his previous life, and it seems that it has never appeared.

Peng Yichen saw this movie when he was in his 40s in his previous life, and watched it countless times.

Therefore, he didn't want the film to disappear completely from this world.

He wanted to make this film and share it with the world's audience.

However, the male protagonist of this movie is something he doesn't dare to try to play, especially if he may enter the world of the plot.

Therefore, he has been looking for a suitable actor to play the leading role.

To this day, seeing Liam Neeson, ******, like an ordinary middle-aged teacher.

He suddenly felt that it should be very interesting to have Liam star in this movie.

And Liam Neeson's acting skills are enough to support this movie, and there is even a great possibility that he will help him get his first Oscar.

But before officially talking to Liam Neeson about this, he also has to examine whether this well-known Hollywood "tough guy" is willing to destroy his image and play the somewhat distorted actor in that movie.

This is why he has a series of image requirements for Liam Neeson.

Lian Mu looked at Peng Yichen, as if to confirm whether the other party's request just now was serious.

When he found that Peng Yichen's eyes were looking at him, there seemed to be a kind of tentative and testing gaze.

Liam's heart moved slightly, and he instantly recalled the look and gaze that Spielberg had when he first saw him ten years ago and invited himself to play Schindler.

He was silent for a long time, and he had decided to accept all of Peng Yichen's harsh requests......

So, he looked at Peng Yichen pointedly and nodded: "No problem, everything is according to the director's requirements." Hopefully, this movie won't disappoint me in the end. ”

After speaking, he turned around and went back to his RV, and according to Peng Yichen's request, he dressed up again.

……

After Peng Yichen's harsh requirements just now, Liam sent away his agent De Lener and devoted himself to the filming of this movie.

watched Peng Yichen use his excellent acting skills to successfully complete the scene where he connected with the Mexicans and got the disguised passport and driver's license he wanted.

Liam stood aside and couldn't help but say to the assistant who followed him: "Peng, the way you performed just now was very restrained and precise.

The urgency of sitting in the car, waiting for the passport, the slight distrust when seeing the Mexicans coming, the stunned look on his face when he knew that there was a police car parked near him. And finally, the Mexican said he was going to mess everything up when the determination on his face.

For many years, I haven't seen a young person with such superb acting skills. ”

After he said this, he didn't wait for the assistant to answer, and walked directly to Peng Yichen, who was still watching the replay of the scene just now, and said with a smile: "After watching your performance, I can't wait to join the filming." I feel that this shooting must be a very important experience in my film career. ”

Liam said something to test whether Peng Yichen had any other plans, so he had so many requirements for him in this movie.

In fact, if Liam Neeson is not satisfied with Peng Yichen, even if he has signed a starring contract with Summit Entertainment, he can break the contract and leave at any time.

Compared to this, this is just a friendly cameo, and the salary on the starring contract is only $100,000, and there are no liquidated damages at all.

But Liam obviously didn't think that Peng Yichen was making trouble, he wanted to know what this young director had in mind.

Peng Yichen narrowed his eyes and smiled, not revealing the meaning of his thoughts at all, just smiled and nodded, and replied with something in his words: "Don't worry, Liam." Your play is coming soon. ”

"Alright, I'll just wait. I hope the director can take care of me, an old man, and don't make me wait too long!" Liam said meaningfully, then stopped talking, and honestly waited aside to watch Peng Yichen's performance.

Of course, at this time, no one knew that Peng Yichen had already begun to plan a new film to be shot when he made his comeback a year later.

……

Just when Peng Yichen and the crew of "Three Days of Danger" were filming the few remaining shots.

At News Corp.'s headquarters in Los Angeles, Murdoch Sr.'s youngest son, James Mdok, was sitting in his office, furious.

A year ago, when he invited Peng Yichen to visit News Corp., he only used the other party as a springboard to enter the Huaxia film market.

Although on the surface, he seems to attach great importance to the other party, but in his heart, he only regards Peng Yichen as a lucky Chinese hairy boy.

Therefore, when he proposed to cooperate with Chen Jing Film Company, he just perfunctorily promised to give the two unimportant roles in "X-Men: First War" to the other party.

What he didn't expect was that Peng Yichen and Yu Jing immediately rejected his request for cooperation, and when the two sides separated, they almost tore their faces.

At that time, he also laughed at Peng Yichen and Yu Jing in his heart, being too arrogant and arrogant.

But just over half a year later, in this year's summer file, Peng Yichen's "Country Teacher" written, directed, and acted swept the world's film market.

"X-Men: The First War", which was released at the same time as this movie, was beaten and lost in the face of this cross-era movie.

"The Country Teacher" has earned $3.1 billion worldwide with the latest 3D shooting and projection technology.

And "X-Men: First War", a movie that once caused him and Peng Yichen to tear their faces, was pinned on by Foucus Company.

The total global box office is only $330 million, and the North American box office is only $170 million.

The entire film lost at least $50 million.

This is almost a fatal defeat for James, who is very likely to take over the old Murdoch class.

The company's shareholders began to stop trusting his abilities.

In the competition for the future successor of News Corporation, he no longer occupies the most advantageous position, and his future position in the group is also beginning to be in jeopardy.

And all of this comes from Peng Yichen's movie.

Therefore, the Hollywood company executives who hate Peng Yichen the most now are estimated to be James, but it is precisely because of this that he is also the person who knows Peng Yichen best.

After being defeated by Peng Yichen's movie, James carefully collected and learned about Peng Yichen's life deeds.

In his opinion, Peng Yichen is almost a movie "Superman".

Of all the films Peng Yichen has made, almost none of them have failed.

It's either in word-of-mouth, or at the box office.

And many of them, in terms of word-of-mouth and box office, have won great victories.

What's even more terrifying is that this young man not only has outstanding acting skills, but also has strong directing skills and a very high level of screenwriting.

He is also a person who is extremely proficient in the development of film technology.

The film technology research and development institute he invested in is now said to have invented holographic projection technology.

Such an all-rounder in film can change the direction of the entire film market almost single-handedly, which is no longer comparable to ordinary film companies.

Therefore, although he hates Peng Yichen, James has no intention of fighting against him.

On the contrary, he not only instructed the publicity and distribution department of Focos that the future release schedule of Focosi's films must be staggered with Peng Yichen's films, and must not compete head-on.

And I desperately hope to find an opportunity to cooperate with Peng Yichen.

Now, the news that "Three Days of Danger" is about to be released on Christmas is already known to all Hollywood companies. But no one knows the specific release time.

Of course, James also began to worry about the movie that Foucus was originally planned to release at Christmas, for fear of colliding with Peng Yichen's movie again.

……

In the crew of "Three Days of Danger", an extremely tense atmosphere has been maintained in the past two days, not that there is anything wrong with the staff, on the contrary, the crew has performed very well in the past two days.

What really makes everyone feel tense is the delicate relationship between director Peng Yichen and big star Liam Neeson.

In these two days, Peng Yichen NG Liam Neeson more than 30 times.

Liam Neeson in this movie, there are only 3 scenes in total.

But Peng Yichen dragged on for 2 days, and there was still a shot that was not taken.

In the end, Peng Yichen didn't even shoot Liam Neeson's scene directly, and finished filming all the other remaining shots first, saying that he would wait until the end to shoot Liam's remaining shots.

What everyone didn't expect was that Liam, as a Hollywood first-line star, had no intention of getting angry and angry at Peng Yichen's request.

You know, this time Liam came to the crew just for a cameo.

In the end, he appeared in the movie for no more than 5 minutes.

is such a simple role, but it would have to delay Liam for a week, if it was a Hollywood first-line actor who encountered this, it is estimated that he would have turned his face a long time ago.

But instead of getting angry, Liam has been standing on the set for the past two days, repeatedly observing Peng Yichen's performance, and has no complaints at all.
