Chapter 270: Huaxia Kung Fu
On March 28th, Warner, Han Qiu personally held an audition for the Matrix heroine here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the past few days, many Hollywood actresses have sent their own applications to Han Qiu, among them, there is no shortage of first-line female stars.
With the success of V and the Dark Knight, everyone is more optimistic about the Matrix this time, not to mention anything else, just in terms of its investment, it has been greatly improved compared to the first two.
With so much money to lay the foundation, this is enough to see how much confidence Huaxian and Warner have in this movie!
This also invisibly deepened the determination of many people who came to audition!
This role, be sure to get it!
It's not just a matter of salary, it's also about increasing global popularity!
As everyone knows, Heath Ledger relies on the two roles of Joker and V, and his worth has skyrocketed N times?
Therefore, the competitiveness of this audition is unprecedentedly strong, and it was extremely difficult for Han Qiu to make this choice.
After a few days of auditions, there are too many excellent actresses who have shown their strength in front of Han Qiu, either with superb acting skills, or with sexy figures, or with sweet looks, or.... Uh, vaguely sent Qiu Bo to Han Qiu.
Therefore, Han Qiu is really guilty of choosing a difficult problem.
In fact, a sci-fi commercial blockbuster like The Matrix does not have as high requirements for actors' acting skills as Truman or the Joker, and the difficulty of the heroine played by Natalie in V is higher than that of the heroine of The Matrix.
Therefore, Han Qiu first has to pick a sexy and beautiful actress, and then pick the one with the best acting skills.
In the end, after the draft that dazzled Han Qiu, Han Qiu locked the final selection on a sexy white actress.
Her name: Anne Hathaway.
A woman who is 173 cm tall, has a pair of straight and sexy thighs and proud twin peaks!
On the day of the audition, Anne directly put on a pair of extremely tempting black silk, wore a sexy little skirt, and stepped on high heels to show her charm in front of Han Qiu.
To be honest, at that time, part of Han Qiu's attention was not on her performance, but elsewhere.......
He thought, if this chick was wearing a black tights and cool sunglasses during filming, what kind of beautiful scenery would it be?
And that's just a point.
Of course, Annie's acting skills also made Han Qiu speechless, for example: she once won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and was also nominated for Best Actress.
These represent the recognition of the audience and the Oscar judges.
After finalizing the candidates, Han Qiu personally called Annie.
"Hi, I'm Han Qiu. ā
Anne didn't expect Han Qiu to call in person, and she was very surprised for a while, "Oh, I heard you right, Director Han Qiu?"
"Yes, you heard it right, it's me, the director who auditioned you the day before yesterday. Han Qiu smiled, "Good news for you, you passed my audition." ā
"Oh my God, really?" exclaimed Anne.
"Of course it's true, from now on, you're the heroine of The Matrix. ā
Hearing this, Anne covered her plump chest, took another deep breath, and then entangled her two long legs, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Director Han, thank you for giving me this opportunity." ā
"Hehe, you're welcome, you're just a good fit for me. Han Qiu replied lightly.
Listening to Han Qiu's calm tone, Anne was a little disappointed, it seemed that this Huaxia director didn't have that kind of idea about herself.
Thinking of this, Anne shook her head and changed the subject, "Can I ask, who is the male protagonist?"
"Heath Ledger. Han Qiu hooked the corners of his mouth and teased, "Well, it's that crazy clown." ā
"Oh~~" Anne opened her mouth slightly, Han Qiu's answer surprised her a little.
Is Hiss the guy who always plays the villain?
Anne also had to admit that Heath's acting skills are very strong, better than herself, especially the role of the Joker, which has let the world see his amazing acting skills.
It's just that Mao, a Chinese director, always likes to cooperate with Hiss?
Could it be that the two of them ......
"No, I remember Heath had a girlfriend. Anne tilted her head, puzzled.
.........
After the hero and heroine were decided, Han Qiu also decided on the last main supporting role.
This guy is the sworn enemy of mankind in the movie, the lackey of artificial intelligence, and the natural villain.
For this role, Han Qiu contacted Hugo Weaving, an actor who debuted in the Australian film industry and later came to Hollywood.
This guy's image is indeed not very pleasing, with half bald hair, a high forehead, and a pair of sunglasses, which makes people feel that this is not a good person at a glance.
This villain, who runs through three parts and opposes the protagonist everywhere, let him take the role.
In fact, after Hugo received Han Qiu's invitation, he was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Han Qiu to take the initiative to find him, and also handed over such an important role to himself.
These days, he also heard the news that Warner and Huaxian jointly produced The Matrix, and then he also wanted to go over to audition, but what disappointed him was that the director only auditioned for the heroine, and the other roles were not mentioned.
Now, happiness has come knocking on the door?
Without hesitation, Hugo responded to Han Qiu's invitation on the same day and claimed that he was happy to participate in the performance.
At this point, the few white actors with more roles that Han Qiu needed have been recruited.
Of course, there must be more than a few white actors in the movie, and there are also many white characters who are not low in photogenicity, but these people are different from the few people recruited by Han Qiu himself.
Heath, Annie, Hugo, including Chow Yun-fat, all had a special mission to complete before filming.....
......
At the beginning of April, April Fool's Day, Han Qiu gathered several leading actors, including several Heath.
In Warner's conference room, Han Qiu told several people about the next arrangement.
After listening to what Han Qiu said, Anne, as the only woman on the scene, was the first to express her opinion.
"Director Han, you mean, before filming, we are going to Huaxia to learn kung fu?"
After saying that, Anne still had an incredible expression on her face, after so many years of filming, it was the first time she heard that filming was going to learn kung fu.
That's right, she heard it right, she didn't learn anything else, she just learned Chinese kung fu!
Heath and Hugo were a little calmer, but their tangled expressions still showed that they didn't understand Han Qiu's proposal.
Chinese Kung Fu?
Huh, hey?
This Nima .......
Han Qiu raised his hands and lightly pressed them in the air, signaling everyone to be calm and calm.
"Yes, because there are a lot of battle scenes in the movie, I need you to learn some combat skills, it doesn't need to be too practical, but at least the shelves have to be laid out for me. ā
"You've seen the script and you know what the hell is going on with this movie. Once we begin to embrace the digital reality of the world, our abilities will change as well. So after several of your characters in the film download the necessary information to their brains, you will become kung fu masters like Bruce Lee. ā
Bruce Lee, a kung fu superstar, is not only familiar to Chinese people, but also deeply impressed by the Yankees.
This kung fu master, who single-handedly pioneered Jeet Kune Do, can be described as the idol of many people in both countries.
As soon as they heard that they were going to become a kung fu master like Bruce Lee in the movie, everyone expressed surprise in unison.
"Well, that's cool!" Anne laughed.
"Bruce Lee, it's really cool. Hugo also nodded.
Hiss also raised his eyebrows and echoed: "Director Han, you won't want us to learn Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, right?"
"That's right. Han Qiu snapped his fingers, nodded and said, "Jeet Kune Do is just one of them, the other Tai Chi boxing, pictographic boxing and the like." You need to reach out too, especially you, Heath. ā
Hiss was speechless: "I've heard a little bit of Tai Chi, what kind of kung fu is pictogram?"
Han Qiu knocked on the table and slowly explained, "It's a boxing technique that imitates animals, such as tigers, leopards, praying mantises, and the like. ā
"Tiger?" Anne made a bluffing "Tiger" bite expression, "Is that it?"
Hugo joked: "Hehe, you are a big cat, where do you look like a tiger." ā
Hiss grimaced, "I'm just curious, how could the Chinese people think of learning its movements from such a small animal as the praying mantis?"
Han Qiu shook his head and smiled, Huaxia has inherited thousands of years of culture, how do you understand it for a while?
"I can't explain this for a while, I suggest you look it up on the Internet. Han Qiu brushed it over, and then asked, "How about it?" If it's okay, after a while, we will go to Huaxia, and I will find you a professional martial arts instructor to train you in Huaxia Kung Fu." ā
Heath nodded, "OK, we have a question." ā
Hugo has no objection, "Everything is arranged by the director." ā
Anne was even more overjoyed, "Of course, I've long wanted to see Chinese kung fu." ā
Han Qiu waved his hand, "Okay, you guys go back and prepare, we'll go to Huaxia to train in a few days!"
Looking at the curious and excited expressions of several people, Han Qiu smiled secretly in his heart, hehe, Huaxia Kung Fu? Even if you learn a bluffing style, it is not so easy.
When the time comes, some of you will feel good!
