Chapter 303: Who's the Acting Genius

Wang Yang led Robert Downey Jr., Heath Ledger, Jessica Alba and other leading actors to attend the press conference, he laughed and said, ""Firefly" will not only be a major turning point in my directing career, but also a major turning point in my acting career. "I didn't say how successful it would be, and I didn't say how much it would fail, but it was true, and it was a big turning point to break through the doubts about the loss of aura and confirm the law of the office building.

What puzzles media fans is, what does it matter to his acting career? Has he ever had an acting career? The supermarket salesman who took the viral marketing camera of "Ghost Shadow"?

"I'll have a cameo role. This is Wang Yang's answer to the media on the spot, not a trick but an important role, and not a joke, the official website of "Firefly" announced a batch of character makeup photos, including Captain Marl, Janeny, Kelly, Reva and other members of the Tranquility, blue gloves did not appear for the time being, but there was one more "mystery man", I saw Magic Yang wearing a denim outfit and holding a big cigar, very handsome and charming, it is said that the big cigar is a tribute to the late Chinese photography master Huang Zongzhan.

It seems that Marvel Young is having a lot of fun, he poses a lot of cool and handsome poses in front of the set board, and Jessica is intimately photographed, is his character Reva's boyfriend? In any case, many fans have already screamed loudly, and Hirst, whose avatar is a white girl, commented: "Wow!! Jan is so handsome!" and the Asian girl Elena commented on the sentiment of another faction of fans: "It's exciting! But Wonder Young is for fun, right? I think it will still be an irrelevant character." ”…… If Wang Yang's cameo is for the early promotion of "Firefly", then the purpose has been achieved, which has attracted the attention of many fans who are not very interested in "Firefly", the only BABY director and idol director in history, the top 30 sexiest men in the world, the top 10 male stars that homosexuals most want to come out, and "Chinese Blatter Pitt...... is the magic of youth, and he also wants to land on the big screen seriously?

"Look at him! His attitude towards movies is getting more and more playful, he even wants to do the work in front of the stage, does he think he won the Oscar for Best Actor?" Everyone knows that Magic Young is the youngest best original screenplay, the youngest best director, and Jeffrey Westerhoff did not miss this opportunity to be ironic, he wrote on his blog: "I tell everyone, this is the first step for Wang Yang to become Kevin Costner. ”

Kevin Costner, the spokesperson for the law of office buildings, won the Oscar for Best Director at the age of 36 for "Dances with Wolves", and he received 7 consecutive nominations for Worst Actor, including 3 awards, 1 for Worst Director, and 1 for 4 Worst Films.

What kind of drama does Wonder Young, a "director-only" graduate of USC-Film-School majoring in film and television production, act?

But this is probably just a small fight in the publicity strategy, the director's cameo is nothing, what really caused heated discussions among fans is that one thing that is very shocking confirms that "Firefly" is an interstellar cowboy sci-fi adventure film, just look at the clothes of Captain Marr and others, and the pistol weapons they are holding, a western cowboy flavor comes to the face.

After gay cowboys like "Brokeback Mountain", Wonder Young is targeting intergalactic cowboys again, and the problem is well known to fans...... Cowboy Bebop? What's that? What a joke!

In the box office list of the theme of "science fiction adventure", there is no box office work of more than 100 million yuan in a similar style, the "Star Wars" series and the "Star Trek" series are divided into two worlds; the "Jurassic Park" series and the "Planet of the Apes" series cannot be confused; "Galaxy Pursuit" with a global box office of 90.68 million in 99, "Stargate" with 71.56 million in 94, and "Lost in Space" with 69.11 million in 98...... No, even the title of the film "Space Cowboy" has nothing to do with cowboy hats, cowboy boots, spurs, and pistols.

"It's hard to imagine what the combination of western cowboy and interstellar sci-fi looks like, will this work?", "What kind of style will this be? Comedy? Drama?" On the Internet, fans and fans all over the world have their own discussions, the question is the future of high technology, why are there still backward cowboys? Some people have begun to wonder about the positioning of Chinese characters and kung fu in the film; and almost everyone knows that "Firefly" is not easy to film! But the more difficult it is to shoot, the more they look forward to it, this is a magical Yang! A magical Yang who has won eight consecutive victories!

The second sci-fi film has the ambition to revolutionize the sci-fi world, and it has excited countless hardcores, is it possible for Magic Young to create a successful new sci-fi series and break the decades-long monopoly of "S" and "ST"?

In the light rain in Vancouver, the studio of "Firefly" of the Flame Film Production Factory, the crew is filming on the set of the tail hatch, it has been two days since Wang Yang shouted the first "Action!", the progress of the shooting table is slow, and Valey Pfister and others, who have worked together many times, have obviously found that this time the director's requirements are much higher, if "The Devil Wears Prada" is a little lax, then it has now soared to the point of harshness, fortunately he is not a stinky temper.

The performance of the actors did not give the director a chance to blame, this studio is having a big collision of acting, there is no Michael Pitt lens for the time being, and Heath Ledger is not in the set of the Serenity, he needs to leave the crew for a month, waiting for the crew to finish shooting the interior set shots such as the Serenity, and the crew estimates that the whole film will be completed at the end of August. As for now, the first to be strong are Robert Downey Jr., Daniel Wu, and Alan Pegg.

Alan Tudyk and Gina Torres' acting skills are as stable as ever, and after watching the performance of the 17-year-old Canadian Pudding, everyone in the crew was quite surprised, Wang Yang's crazy praise seemed so prescient, Peggy is the kind of genius born for acting.

Listening to Wang Yang's happy "Good!" and "Very-Good!", Robert Downey Jr. was very unconvinced, especially Susan Levine was on the set, and he vowed to prove that he was the person known as a "natural performer", and he was the most powerful genius on the set! Because of his outstanding performance of the role of the sharp-edged Jeff Ma, and the widely acclaimed Wu Yanzu, with the determination to cherish every opportunity, is also working silently, he may not be a genius, but he is definitely not a mediocre talent.

A good atmosphere on the set can improve the state and performance of the actors, in addition to the atmosphere of the play, the competitive mentality is also the reason for the actors' outburst, "TDP" Emily Blunt is so shiny, with her revelation "I want to beat Meryl Streep." "No, it doesn't matter.

At this time, the aft compartment of the Tranquility seemed to be shrouded in a life-and-death atmosphere, Alan Page hid behind a large row of debris boxes and looked nervously, Robert Downey Jr. and Gina Torres were all loading rocket launchers, and the main subject of the camera, the muscular Wu Yanzu, with the assistance of the tightrope, freely held two huge black modified props Gatling machine guns, and walked to the direction of the hatch step by step with an "ah" roar, swinging from side to side and frantically strafing the imaginary sky outside.

"Da ......" The guns of the two Gatling machine guns rotated at high speed, the muzzles sprayed a slight tongue of fire, and the empty cartridge casings were scattered on the ground one by one, making a crisp tinkling sound.

Several film cameras are also running at high speed, shooting different shots from different camera positions, the same is that the film crew next to the camera is all serious and focused, Vary-First shoots the frontal shot in a shoulder-carrying way, swaying slightly to advance the camera according to Wang Yang's previous design, and finally stops at a close-up of Wu Yanzu's face, only to see that his muscles are bulging, and he seems to be suffering a heavy recoil.

From the spaceship flying in the sky, two tongues of fire erupted from the open tail compartment, and then advanced to the close-up of Janeny, which is this shot. Pfister's sound recorder, lighting engineer and others are all working, Wang Yang is holding a white microphone, paying attention to the situation of the whole picture, Janeny, Captain Marl who acts as the background, have all had rehearsal positions before shooting, and several geniuses did not make low-level mistakes.

This scene belongs to the beginning of the story, the Serenity is in business again, and the three of Mar, Janeny, and Zoe steal the target cargo of a train in a thrilling and clever way, but because of greed, they naturally snatch back the black box that hides Reva. The train sent some small fighters of its own security system to pursue, so in the vast world, the Tranquility attacked and got rid of the pursuing enemy. Wang Yang called this scene "The Great Train Robbery".

The Gatling machine gun is a very representative ultimate bullet musket, and it is not too much to say that it is a favorite of Hollywood movies, because of the incisive pleasure brought by the rotation of the barrel, the spray of bullets, and the scattering of cartridge cases, as well as the shape that gives people a sense of gravity and rage, which is incomparable to other machine guns. However, compared with the energy guns, laser guns, and plasma guns of other sci-fi films...... "Firefly" still uses gunpowder weapons, which is really novel.

"Captain, Captain! I think it's time to tell you something. Alan Peggy shouted loudly behind the box, and Robert Downey Jr. carried the bazooka without looking back, and shouted as he walked towards the hatch, "What? Do you want me to die? You love me? I really can't stand this!" Allen Peggy shouted, "I installed the Tranquility with a Type VI38 missile installation system, and I also bought ammunition for one launch!"

Coming to the hatch and firing a rocket, Robert Downey Jr. suddenly startled: "What!?" He quickly threw down the bazooka and ran briskly to the front passageway, saying, "When did I let you install these things? We don't have the money to buy a Firefly-class missile system, so you actually buy this...... How did you install it?" He grabbed the phone on the wall and said urgently, "Walsh! We have the VI38 missile system!

"OK, I'll look for it, I'll look for it......" The loudspeaker in the tail cabin sounded Alan Tudek's voice, Robert Downey Jr., Alan Pegg, Wu Yanzu, and Gina Torres all fell silent, and after a close-up rotation time, the four of them suddenly flew backwards, the spacecraft caused a huge shock because of the launch of a super-level missile, they all fell to the ground, Robert Downey Jr. held on to the aisle door, and exhaled in a daze: "Energetic!"

If it was in the storyboard, the several fighters chasing outside had already exploded into a pile of scattered debris.

"CUT!" Wang Yang raised the microphone and said, the cameras in the audience suddenly stopped, and several leading actors stood up with a smile, but what made them sigh immediately was that Wang Yang said: "Start from where you fell and do it again! You fell too defensively! Get ready!"

“Action!”、“OK,CUT!”、“Action!”…… Although the style of the scene of "Firefly" is positioned as grand and magnificent, but the details and lines are not all in the style of the drama, the characters of the boatload of people on the Tranquility are very comedy, of course, as the story progresses, the atmosphere will gradually become more serious and serious, and the ending will be touching and shocking. But this is just the beginning, so the atmosphere on the set is very light and lively, and there is no depression in "District 9" at all.

"When this happens, you press it with all your strength, and it's really hard. The camera position of the tail cabin set has changed, next to the large black special box, Wang Yang holds an iron crowbar for Donnie, Wu Yanzu demonstrates the violent unpacking action, and Vary-Pfister, Joss Weddon and others direct the film crew to prepare. After repelling the train's pursuit, Captain Marr and his men inspected the cargo, and finally it was the turn of the large box.

The box didn't have the fingerprint pupils, which were so advanced that they were just outdated digital disks, which stumped Mar and Jenny, and they decided to continue the violence.

"Action!" With Wang Yang's order, the camera began to operate, and several actors in the camera immediately entered the characters and entered the world of "Firefly". Donnie and Wu Yanzu stood by the box, working together to press the iron pry to forcibly open the box: "Uh-huh, ahh At this time, Alan Pegg, who was standing by and watching, suddenly walked up and pressed the digital code disk of the box for a while.

Suddenly, there was a snap! The iron pry lifted the lid of the box high, and Donnie and Wu Yanzu naturally had a sudden movement, and almost fell to the ground. Alan Page turned her head to look at the two of them, she had already thought about Kelly's mentality at this time, and she grinned with great talent: "Captain, someone actually used 951753 as a password!" She was a little proud: "Haha!" And this pride was to the person who set the password, that is, Simon, not the foolish Marl and Janeny.

This little girl is really underwhelmed, I'm a genius! Donnie roared silently, just in line with Marr's mood at this time, and he complained in a complaining tone: "Kelly, can you not be good at asserting for a while? We almost pried it open!" Wu Yanzu, who looked into the box, shouted in surprise, although there was nothing in the box, he had to finish shooting the upward shot of several people from the box, and then look down at the Ruiva in the box.

“CUT!”……“Action!”

When the film crew was ready for the equipment and camera position, and the shooting continued, Wu Yanzu shouted "Oh", looking at the camera lens in the box, as if he saw a girl in a dress curled up and sleeping in the storyboard script, he was shocked and urgent: "Marl! Aren't we not in the human trafficking business? I don't do the human trafficking business!" Donnie, who then entered the field of view of the camera, was also stunned, and just reminded: "You have to bring this box back." "Then Alan Pegg, Gina Torres also showed up at the side of the box.

"Seeing" the angel face and devil figure of the woman inside, Alan Page knew that Kelly was a little jealous, but not that jealousy, but a kind of luck, Peggy said in surprise and suspicion: "Wow, she...... She's not going to be a ** doll, is she? I mean, the kind that is used to ......" She was suddenly embarrassed, and Downey glanced at her, all of them said before, Alan Page rolled her eyes, and pulled it over: "What are you used for a doll." ”

Wang Yang tried his best to hold back an inexplicable smile, and when they finished acting, he laughed and said, "CUT! He said to Vare-First and the others, and then looked at Jessica, who was sitting in a chair in the distance, looking at the script intently, this time she was really mutated, trying harder than him. Wang Yang smiled, and the microphone shouted, "Jesse! It's almost you, come here and get ready." Jessica, who was over there, looked up, answered the call, and got up and walked.

In addition to looking at the top-down shot of the box, there are many tasks on the shooting table, such as Reva suddenly opening her eyes, jumping out of the box, easily knocking down Marl and the others, and suddenly fainting. …… In the spacious hotel apartment living room in Vancouver, Heath Ledger sits on the floor against the wall, looking expressionless and in a trance. After the start-up interview, he locked himself in this apartment, and he didn't leave the door for several days, feeling and dismantling the inner world, words and deeds of the blue gloves every day. Not knowing what to think, Heath-Ledger suddenly laughed: "Yes, that kind of world is the best." ”

If there is no concept of strength or weakness, then there will be no inferiority, there will be no divorce of parents, everyone will fall in love and get married according to the best distribution of the system, and everyone will be happy...... That's great!

Whoever wants to destroy and hinder the birth of this world will have to disappear! This is an honor, a contribution...... Heath Ledger took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath, then chuckled softly again, was silent for a moment, and muttered, "I'm not a bad person, and I'm not a good person......"
