Chapter 70: The Beginning and the End
Because the crew of "Rush Hour" is looking for suitable sets in various places in Xiangjiang to shoot the only remaining beginning of the film, the official filming process of this film on the Xiangjiang side has not yet begun.
And Li Xuan, who needs to maintain a lot of performance in this opening scene, can barely have time to continue to prepare his action design in the newly arrived "Fengyun" crew.
He has already planned with director Liu Weiqiang, and at this moment, he will first design martial arts movements for all different actors with various characteristics that are in line with the characters of the original comics, so that they can first step up their practice in private and familiarize themselves with the routines. Liu Weiqiang will first shoot some literary dramas, and will not be in a hurry with the scenes of martial arts movements. Then, after the filming of the opening scene of the Hollywood movie was completely over, he returned to the "Fengyun" crew to teach and guide the scene seriously, correct some details for the actors, and design more action exchanges and fight scenes in a timely manner.
The vast majority of the actors in the crew of "Fengyun" are still quite satisfied with the respective characteristic movements provided to them by the new martial arts instructor Li Xuan, and they immediately wrote them down carefully, ready to learn and master them in their free time in the future.
Especially the leading actors in this play, the importance of these martial arts action routines is beyond Li Xuan's original imagination, and they even took the initiative to seriously discuss and study with him. It proves that they value this film and their various needs for pre-production in terms of acting, which is also extraordinary and strong, and they really work hard to make this movie well!
Like the actors, this very good learning situation made Li Xuan suddenly feel a little emotional. These actors who are quite cooperative with him are really people in two worlds compared to the previous American Hollywood actor Chris Tucker, who had a lot of!
As a result, he has become more motivated in the process of designing and teaching various martial arts movements to the actors of "Fengyun".
Of course, in this real world, no aspect will always be in perfect harmony. In fact, in many cases, there will always be a small number of people who like to act and do not cooperate, which is the dark nature of society and the difference in human nature.
For example, the only remaining acquaintance actor in the crew whose turn was Li Xuan's turn to teach was contrary to the norm that most people in the crew were satisfied with him, but they were very dissatisfied with him, and they were even more uncooperative.
Although the reason for completely throwing off the big name and asking for personality is different from Chris Tucker, between this guy and Li Xuan, there have been some festivals, and the two sides obviously don't deal with each other.
Therefore, this benevolent brother will not have any good opinion of Li Xuan at all, and he is even more unwilling to accept any correct and scientific action teaching and design from Li Xuan.
Naturally, this benevolent brother was the biggest discordant factor that Li Xuan encountered this time.
……
"Zhang Yaoyang, I don't like you very much, and I know that you have always been unhappy with me, and now you may be even more unhappy. However, I still hope that you can accept my guidance, these action designs and routines are very important for the shooting of this film. Li Xuan's identity is different now, and he must focus on the overall situation, so after many successive persuasions before to no avail, he still reluctantly reluctantly reluctantly and continued to explain the importance to Zhang Yaoyang, who was unwilling to accept martial arts instruction.
However, Zhang Yaoyang still didn't care at all, from the appearance of a hanger after facing Li Xuan just now, to now his head is even about to rise to the sky: "Hmph, the guy who hasn't grown all the hair, he dares to learn from others to be a martial arts instructor, I have filmed more scenes than you have ever seen in the movies, and I still need you to teach? Go and go, don't waste my time here, say so much, don't be tired! It's really naïve, it's just a martial arts scene, I don't know how to act, what else do I need to train in advance?"
Seeing Zhang Yaoyang's continuous non-cooperation and very bad attitude, Li Xuan couldn't help but consciously make his due attitude and respect at this moment. It's just that Zhang Yaoyang never bought it, and then, he finally had to choose not to serve.
But when Li Xuan just walked out a few meters away, Zhang Yaoyang pretended to mutter, and his voice was still loud and deliberately complained behind Li Xuan: "Hehe, I really don't know what to pretend, I didn't sell my ass to get my current status, and I was so bad that I rejected me at the beginning!"
Hearing such a slightly malicious slander, Li Xuan, who was already upset, was of course a little angry. Zhang Yaoyang, this guy is not upright and loves to be curious, and he even slanders himself like this, this is really a very disgusting person who can't spit out ivory in his mouth.
However, Li Xuan thought that he was now burdened with a heavy responsibility, no longer the little actor who had no worries before, but a martial arts instructor with the expectations of Hejia Company and his future prospects, so he didn't bother to turn around and quarrel with Zhang Yaoyang about it, it was not worth it, and he just didn't hear it. If you are a rotten person, you will be a rotten person.
I don't know what Mr. Liu Weiqiang values about this guy, so he has to take him with him every time he makes a movie.
Li Xuan turned to Zhang Yaoyang and sneered, then left him alone. Anyway, in the end, the filming of the scene still has to be in the hands of director Liu Weiqiang, if Zhang Yaoyang can't contribute a perfect action scene performance and can't fit the playing style of the entire "Fengyun" movie, then the director will personally trouble him.
……
It took a few days, and after teaching all the actors in the crew who had martial arts scenes a variety of basic action routines with various characteristics that he had designed, Li Xuan took another leave from director Liu Weiqiang, and quickly returned to the crew of "Rush Hour" to catch up with the scene.
Just the day before, "Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner finally led his Hollywood team to find a satisfactory and suitable port location in Hong Kong. Li Xuan also had to rush to shoot his own scene seriously, and complete the final shooting of this Hollywood movie with Fang Long and others.
In fact, after such a long period of cooperation and familiarity, the cooperation between the crew of "Rush Hour" has become more and more skilled and tacit, and everyone's work progress has been completed quickly.
It took a few more nights, and the night scene after the opening of "Rush Hour" was successfully completed in the hands of Li Xuan and Fang Long.
Perhaps the director liked the martial arts exchange between Li Xuan and Fang Long very much, and finally saw that the time budget was abundant, and deliberately arranged an unplanned fierce fight scene for the roles of Li Xuan and Fang Long, trying to see if it would have a better promotion effect on the movie.
Then, the scene of "Rush Hour" belonging to Li Xuan officially came to an end.
……
"Alas, I'm really a little reluctant, the director is very good and has great ability, so I hope this "Rush Hour" movie can be a big hit in Hollywood in the future!" This is the first Hollywood team he has been involved in, and it is inevitable that he will have a little different expectations for the upcoming film.
However, Brett Ratner is very confident: "This movie is going to be a big hit, because you usually do a great job at work, and the level of performance is top-notch." And Xiao Li, since you have developed in Hollywood, I hope we will have new opportunities for cooperation in Hollywood in the future. ”
"I'm very much looking forward to the director you looking for me to act, preferably when filming "Rush Hour 2", you can find me as soon as possible. Li Xuan said with a smile.
Brett Ratner nodded: "Well, it seems that I have to seriously think about the plot of the second part, maybe you will be the protagonist." ”
"Haha, then Brother Long will kill me!"
"Why isn't Chris Tucker, who has always called himself the protagonist, so excited that he wants to kill you?"
"Uh...... Hahaha!"
