On November 15th, Song Zheng left for a direct flight to Canada, and he walked very low-key, but as soon as he left, the domestic entertainment was fried.

Originally, the preparation of the crew of "The Revenant" has not been announced to the public, and the outside world does not know that Song Zheng has made a big move this time, according to Song Zheng's idea, he doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone during the filming, but he obviously still underestimates the ability of the media, and the news about the upcoming launch of "The Revenant" has already made the front page headlines of domestic entertainment media.

Song Zheng teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio to once again hit the Academy Awards for Best Director. ”

Song Zheng will invite Leonardo DiCaprio for his new film, and the production cost is expected to exceed $300 million. ”

"The production cost of Song Zheng's new film will exceed that of "Avatar", helping Leonardo DiCaprio realize his dream of being an actor. ”

It is not surprising that Leonardo DiCaprio should be highlighted in almost every article, although there are many Hollywood stars, but when it comes to influence in China, among the male movie stars, Xiao Lizi is undoubtedly ranked first.

A "Titanic" sailed into China that year, which not only set a box office record in China, but also made Xiao Lizi a large number of loyal fans in China.

The handsome little brother with blonde hair has been the dream lover of many girls until now.

Even now that Xiao Lizi has begun to get rich, his appearance has fallen to the peak, but his popularity in China is still undiminished.

When Song Zheng first started to enter Hollywood, there were media in China who kept shouting, hoping that Song Zheng could cooperate with Xiao Lizi and help Xiao Lizi realize his dream of being an Oscar winner.

You must know that at that time, Song Zheng was a complete newcomer to Hollywood, with no box office results and no awards, how could Xiao Lizi cooperate with him unless he was crazy.

Hollywood, but it is a place that values the report card the most, no matter how talented it is, without data to prove it, everything is.

But this kind of talk is still very marketable in China, and many people who eat melons take it for granted that Xiao Lizi, who has rubbed shoulders with the Oscar actor many times in a row, if he can ascend to the throne of the Oscar actor with a movie directed by a Chinese director, just think about it, oops!

Later, Song Zheng became famous in Hollywood, and this kind of talk was more marketable, and Song Zheng did have the opportunity to cooperate with Leonardo, when planning to shoot "Inception", Song Zheng didn't want to play it himself at first, and the first person of the actor was Xiao Lizi, and he also sent an invitation to Xiao Lizi.

It's a pity that Leonardo finally refused.

Now that the two have finally reached a cooperation, it is no wonder that the media is so excited.

That's Leonardo DiCaprio!

An internationally renowned movie star, Song Zheng can cooperate with such a big name, and as a compatriot, he feels that he has face.

Of course, if Song Zheng knew about these media, he would definitely be able to drag those code word maniacs and slap their mouths.

What is with what is honored, Lao Tzu's current coffee position is no worse than Xiao Lizi.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Song Zheng can only be regarded as completely opening up the situation in Hollywood if he really cooperates with Hollywood's first-line celebrities, although Song Zheng's achievements are good before, he has never cooperated with Hollywood's first-line celebrities, and he is always a little watery in their eyes, now it's okay, Leonardo DiCaprio's actor, Song Zheng's new film has gone up all of a sudden.

What is happening on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Song Zheng, who has arrived in Canada, does not know that at this moment, he has completely adjusted his state and entered a new work cycle, for him, there is nothing more important than this movie.

"Leo, you look good. ”

At this moment, if someone who doesn't know the inside story hears Song Zheng say such a sentence, they must definitely think that he is sarcastic.

Because, Xiao Lizi's current appearance, at least from the point of view of appearance, is definitely not good, although he is no longer the white and clean little handsome guy at the beginning, he has begun to get rich, and his figure has become burly from the original thin, but in general, the appearance is still very eye-catching, and it has faded away, adding a bit of the unique charm of a mature man.

But now, if Xiao Lizi's fans are here, seeing Leonardo DiCaprio like this, it is estimated that they will collapse.

If the figure of Xiao Lizi before can be said to be moderate, then the man in front of him is definitely enough to be described as burly, if he has trained his muscles, it is okay, the key is that the slightly bulging little belly will ruin the image that is already on the verge of collapse.

The hair has not been trimmed for a long time, and it looks messy, and the stubble has completely ruined the handsome face that once fascinated thousands of girls.

Xiao Lizi's current ghost appearance, if his fans see it, they will definitely be heartbroken, but this is exactly what Song Zheng wants.

"How's that? does it still match your vision of Hugh Glass?"

Regarding the image problem, Xiao Lizi never paid attention to it, the star who was cared about his external image, but he didn't care, and even, he always thought that he couldn't go further in his acting career, and he was dragged down by his image.

Although this is not entirely the case, it is not biased, Leonardo DiCaprio's handsome face does limit his acting path, and after becoming popular, many of the roles he played are the kind of little white faces that only need to be good-looking in the picture.

If you are someone else, you may not have big ambitions in your heart, and you may be calm, and even be complacent about your unique image advantage, but Xiao Lizi is not such an unambitious person.

He always wanted people to like watching his movies because of his excellent acting skills, not because of his face.

Therefore, Xiao Lizi has been consciously destroying people's impression of him, gaining weight, growing a beard, and his weight once exceeded 200 catties, making it clear that he wants to tell everyone that Lao Tzu does not want to be handsome for the rest of his life.

After receiving the role of "The Revenant", especially after listening to Song Zheng's views on Hugh Glass, he did not hesitate at all, and began to consciously gain weight after returning to the United States.

This persistent attitude towards acting alone is enough for many young actors to learn for a lifetime.

What else can Song Zheng say?

Is there anything else that can be demanded?

"It was perfect!"

Song Zheng's evaluation is not a compliment, compared with the image of Leonardo DiCaprio in the original version of "The Revenant" in his previous life, the little plum in front of him is even closer to the character of Hugh Glass.

In order to be able to shoot this drama well, Song Zheng has also read a lot of literary works about Hugh Glass before, and in his mind, he has sketched a general image, simply put, Xiao Lizi's current appearance as a rough man.

The earliest record of Hugh Glass's story dates back to 1824, when a Philadelphia lawyer and amateur first recounted Hugh Glass's story in a local newspaper supplement.

According to the newspapers, Hugh Glass was born and raised in Pennsylvania to immigrants from the north of Ireland, which is probably why he has hardy genes.

Historically, Hugh Glass was captured by the Boni tribe, but instead of being killed, he married a girl from the tribe.

It was not until 1821 that he and his wife were allowed to leave the tribe and move to St. Louis, where he later served as a messenger and interpreter for negotiations between the Boni and the U.S. federal government.

In 1822, William Henry Ashley and Andrew Henry, the captains of the script who founded the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, ran an expedition advertised in the newspaper titled "To the Enterprising Youth" to recruit a team of 100 young explorers who would cross the Missouri River and reach its source and eventually reach the Rocky Mountains in a period of one to three years, during which time the main task of the team would be to obtain the precious beaver pelts. Beavers are water-dwelling animals, and expeditions are exploring along rivers in search of beavers at the water's edge.

By this time, Hugh Glass, who was already in his 40s, was already a well-known fur hunter and explorer, and after seeing the advertisement, he decided to join the team.

In June 1823, during a fur hunt, the hunting party was attacked by the Alikala tribe, and the entire team lost 15 explorers, including Hugh Glass, who was not spared and injured one leg.

Later, Hugh Glass and his companions were attacked by a mother bear while walking through the forest, and he was severely bitten.

General Ashley decided that Hugh Glass could not survive, so he asked the two men to volunteer to stay in care and bury Hugh Glass after his death.

Bridger and Fitzgerald volunteered and vowed to protect Hugh Glass until his natural death.

However, they were soon attacked again by the Arielkala tribe, and the two fled in a hurry, leaving Hugh Glass alone, and even taking away the weapons and equipment that belonged to the latter.

Hugh Glass woke up alone in the snowy wilderness, bare-handed, with a broken leg and festering wounds, more than 200 miles from Fort Keowa, the closest "civilized settlement" at the time.

In this case, there was little hope that anyone would survive, but Hugh Glass, with amazing perseverance and the hill as a landmark, climbed south to the Cheyenne River, and then made a raft to float down the Cheyenne River into the Mississippi River, and it took six weeks to reach Fort Keowa.

In the process, he made a living mainly by gathering berries and tubers, or by gathering leftover meat from wild beasts, and because his wife was an Indian, he was fortunate enough to have the help of another Indian tribe.

Hugh Glass, who had returned to the army, found Fitzgerald and Bridger, who had abandoned him, but because the former had joined the army and the latter was young, he eventually forgave them.

In 1833, near the site of the accident, Hugh Glass was again attacked by the same Indian tribe and was killed, according to local newspapers.

Many of the plots in the script were real at that time, more than 100 years ago in the western United States, a large number of colonial populations poured into the west, large-scale hunting to destroy the natural environment, and even the persecution of the indigenous people themselves, gradually aroused the hatred of the Indians.

At the same time, the struggle between the colonists of various countries is still raging, and in the story, the French secretly buy furs and support the Indians against the United States.

Hugh Glass's Ashley Hunting Team has produced many famous explorers, and the "Ashley Hundred" is also an indelible name in the history of American pioneering.

Although the story of Hugh Glass now seems to be exaggerated and legendary, he has become a legend as a famous American hunter in the 19th century.

Today, in the place where Hugh Grasse was struck by a bear, a "Glass Monument" has been erected to commemorate this touching and shocking pioneer survival more than 100 years ago.

In 1966, the first single book with the story of Hugh Glass, "Lord Grizzly", became an instant hit, becoming the blueprint for the first "Glass movie" "Man in the Wilderness" in 1971.

Since then, there have always been movies and TV series with Hugh Glass as the protagonist, and the story of Hugh Glass has been constantly interpreted, and it has become more and more like a legend.

Now, Song Zheng has picked up this story again, which seems to many people to be a bit risky, even the partner Lionsgate has also vaguely expressed concern, but Song Zheng "insists on going his own way".

After all, he has the advantage of being reborn, and Song Zheng knows very well how successful this version he deduced will be after it is made into a movie.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio is a crucial part of success.

At present, it seems that in terms of image, Xiao Lizi is fully qualified, and in his current appearance, if he is really thrown more than a hundred years ago, there will be no sense of disobedience.

But don't think that Americans were more civilized more than a hundred years ago, just look at those old photos that have been preserved, and you can know that the beautiful man at that time may be rougher than Xiao Lizi's current appearance.

Especially in the fur trade, Hugh Glass was recruited for a job known as the "mountainman". They are predominantly white, collecting and selling furs, and also accepting employment contracts from fur companies, and in layman's terms, a group of "wild men" with firearms, horses, and fur making technology.

has been treated as a wild man by others, how good can the image be?

can not care about his own image, in order to be able to play a role well, directly turn himself into this ghost, and seem to be very satisfied with his image, in Hollywood, it is estimated that there is only Leonardo DiCaprio.

"However, I have one more request to you, from today onwards, for a long time in the future, you can't shave, and your hair can only be trimmed according to the needs of the plot, no problem, right?"

Xiao Lizi didn't even think about it, and said: "Of course it's no problem, everything is for the movie, if there are other requirements, there is no problem with me." ”

It can be seen that Xiao Lizi is really going to fight, and he has passed by the Oscar actor many times in a row, making him even more desperate.

"Good!"

After a simple exchange with Leonardo DiCaprio, Song Zheng went to take pictures of Zhang Xu again, he was sent to Canada by Song Zheng for half a year, in order to choose the scene for the movie, most of the plot in the movie has to be filmed in the deep mountains and jungles, and the selection of scenes is particularly important.

This is not only about the composition of the picture, but also about the local climate, light, in short, very troublesome.

If this kind of work is handed over to someone else, Song Zheng will definitely not feel at ease, but if it is Zhang Xu, then there will be no problem.

In order to shoot "Wolf Warrior", Zhang Xu directly soaked in South Africa for more than half a year, even went to the most dangerous slums, and dealt with local local snakes.

Zhang Xu introduced the places he had inspected to Song Zheng in detail, and even explained where it was more appropriate to shoot each scene.

When Song Zheng heard this, he was naturally very satisfied: "Brother Zhang, I've worked hard for you in the past six months, and when our movie is finished, I'll give you half a year's vacation, so that you can rest and rest!"

"This is what you said, can't I just want to rest steadily, you just called me and sent me to Tiannan and Haibei!"

Although Zhang Xu is not a contracted director of 1+1 Company, since "My Leader, My Group", the first assistant director for Song Zheng, the two have been working together over the years, during which Zhang Xu has never been an assistant to others except for Li Yang in "Blind Well".

Basically, in the eyes of others, Zhang Xu is a person from the 1+1 company, and he is also the queen director of Song Zheng, which is why for so many years, no crew has ever looked for Zhang Xu.

This is also an unwritten rule in the circle, no matter how good other people's children are, they can't take the initiative to make up their minds, unless their children want to run away from home.

Zhang Xu is the child of the Song Zheng family, don't look at him who has not directed any works independently, but whoever mentions Zhang Xu's name in the circle has to say: That is a capable person.

Just to be able to serve Song Zheng, a stubborn donkey recognized in the circle, and a tyrant on the set, who has this ability?

"Don't worry! Do what you say, after filming this drama, I also plan to take a break for a while, I've been filming all these years, I'm so tired!"

Zhang Xu looked at Song Zheng and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Song, I've heard what you said no less than ten times, and I always shouted to rest, but every time, as long as you have a new idea and a new plan, you will immediately be charged again, I see you, you are born with hard work." ”
