Chapter 372: Still a Small Role
There is no man who doesn't like to play with guns, Li Xu often goes to shooting clubs to play a few, from PPK to Glock to Beretta, to AK series and M series, and even heavy machine guns have grabbed and strafed, and the sound of heavy machine gun cartridge shells falling to the ground is definitely good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The price is that the eardrum hurts and the hand hurts, the sound of the heavy machine gun is louder than expected, and it takes a lot of strength to be able to grasp it steadily, after all, he has not practiced.
It's a pity that he originally wanted to collect a few guns at home, but after thinking about it in the end, he could only forget it, if he wanted to say it, he really didn't care which woman was blackened and shot himself in the head.
But if you encounter passion killing, it's a bit wronged, so ah, if you really want to have a shot, you can buy a gun and a bullet yourself, and you still insist on walking around like this, then admit it.
As for only collecting pistols and not bullets, that's not easy to do, it's easier to buy bullets than to buy pistols, and it's completely possible to buy them in advance and put them there.
Okay, back to the topic, although Li Xu also knows that Reeves has a good character and is very professional, but now after all, he is only in his early 20s, and his acting skills are at the bottom, so he is very worried about whether he can be qualified for this role.
The original version of Zhang Guorong looked at the tender face, but he was a person who had a good work, and he was the most popular among the three actors, Wu Baige even had to put his image in the center of the poster to attract popularity for the movie - at that time, whether it was Zhou Runfa or Dillon, it was either box office poison, or it was so angry that it couldn't be angry anymore.
Now that Zemeckis has recognized him and praised him for bringing the other two to his spirit, then he can rest assured.
"Well, hopefully he will grow up soon. Li Xu finally said.
He didn't ask about Qiong, that is, Chen Chong's situation, anyway, it was a vase, as long as the performance was qualified, the contrast would be expressed.
When I arrived at the place, the crew soon began to unfold, clearing the scene, arranging the props arranging the props, Zemeckis was also busy, as a director, many things had to be asked.
Li Xu didn't bother him, came behind a chubby Chinese, and patted him on the shoulder: "Ah Jing, come over here." ”
"Okay, Mr. Lee. Wang Jing immediately said hello to the person next to him and left with Li Xu, but there was a faint bitterness on his face.
"Have you read the script?" Li Xu asked after finding a place to sit next to the truck where the crew was carrying props.
"Look...... Looked. Wang Jing replied honestly.
"Let's talk about my opinion," Li Xu raised his chin, "I don't plan to give you a detailed storyboard like last time, most of it is up to you to master." ”
"Hmm......" Wang Jing groaned, "It's still about memory, but unlike "50 First Loves" and "Memory Fragments", the new script is making a fuss about the audience's memory, and it is necessary to mislead them as much as possible, and only then reverse the ......"
It can be seen that he has done his homework well, and Li Xu has basically grasped the main points of this movie. After being sent to Hollywood for so long, and constantly interning in various crews, as well as the practical experience of "50 First Loves" and "Memory Fragments", if you don't grow up, you can really lose it.
"Very good, I'll leave it to you," Li Xu said with a smile, "The filming of "Brothers" is about two months, you see that the preparation is appropriate at the end of May, or at the end of June. ”
"At the end of June, there are a lot of characters, and you need to think carefully. Wang Jing licked his lips, and suddenly said, "By the way, Mr. Li, that ......"
didn't say anything, his expression was a little hesitant, but Li Xu knew what he meant: "Don't worry, although I personally think it's okay to go to Venice or any other film festival, but if you don't want to, it's okay." ”
"I see, Mr. Lee. Wang Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, of course he didn't think he was pretending, and the time spent with each other was not short, he knew that he was a person who had something to say.
"Actually, this is also a kind of grinding," Li Xu looked at him with a smile at this time, "Sometimes you just need someone to push you behind you to run faster." ”
Wang Jing immediately smiled obviously wryly, if he wins another prestigious European film festival award, and still uses a film like "Memory Fragments", which does not match the so-called Hong Kong temperament, how will he make movies in the future.
"Actually, "The Frog Prince" did a good job, better than I expected. Li Xu said at this time, "It can be seen that you are trying to find a way to learn from Hollywood." ”
When he was considering a new movie for Zhong Yihong last year, he thought of the movie "The Frog Prince", which had a good box office, and it was directed by Wang Jing, so I won't say much about the content, anyway, it is the Hong Kong movie hip-hop set.
It's just that Wang Jing was still in Hollywood at that time with the release of "Back to the Future", and he was a little afraid of returning to Hong Kong, and there were other factors, so he gave up temporarily and gave "British Pipa" to Zhong Yihong.
waited until mid-September, when the dust settled on something, Wang Jing was called back and began to prepare for the film, which was launched in early October, and then released in December, as fast as ever.
But it's already very good, at least it's a lot better than the version in Li Xu's memory, there are not so many and pee farts and overly exaggerated body language, and the rhythm is more comfortable, and those scenes that are useless and completely funny for the sake of being funny are eliminated.
Therefore, the final box office reached 21 million, nearly 3 million more than another time and space.
It's just that the comments are not good.
"A lot of people have said in the newspapers that I have lost my art and completely turned to commercialization, and my debut is such a work. Wang Jing said sullenly at this time, "I also want to make it more elaborate, but Sir Shao gave me that little time, if it wasn't for the script that Mr. Li had prepared a long time ago, I'm afraid it would only be rougher." Moreover, all kinds of conditions can't be compared with Hollywood, how to make it more refined. ”
Li Xu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the script was given directly to Shao San, and Imagination Pictures invested a little money, most of which was produced by Shaw Brothers. Although Shao San likes movies, he can also save money, and agreed with the crew to pull Hawaii to go on location, but he also squeezed the crew as much as possible.
Although the two heroines are Li Xu's people, it is still necessary for them to taste the taste of ordinary Hong Kong crews from time to time, and happiness is contrasted.
Therefore, it is normal for Wang Jing to be dissatisfied, after all, he brought people who came out to see the world, and lived in a luxury villa with a garden and a swimming pool, and if she wants to return to her original dwelling, she must be unwilling.
"That's it, after you finish shooting this movie for me, I'll invest in a work that you can play," Li Xu said again, "With a capital of 10 million to 15 million, I don't interfere in any way, and I don't let others interfere, how about it?"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li!" Wang Jing jumped up immediately, looking very excited.
"Alright, alright. Li Xu waved his hand, "Then so be it, you can slowly polish the script now." ”
As he spoke, he stood up, but immediately asked seemingly casually, "By the way, how is that Maggie?"
Wang Jing immediately chuckled in his heart, and replied cautiously: "That little girl is very good, if you want to say that she is beautiful, she is not as good as Miss Zhong and Miss Guan, but she is very pure and tasteful." ”
"Okay, I see. Li Xu smiled, patted Wang Jing on the shoulder, and then left here.
Since this is the case, then you can prepare to let Zhang Manyu come over honestly and beg herself.
The reason why he postponed "The Frog Prince" was that he wanted to wait for this woman, and the original version was her debut novel. In her previous life, the information about her before her debut was not very detailed, and the person named Maggie in Kent had not 1000 but also 800, which was not easy to find at all, so she could only wait for her to come out and run for Miss Hong Kong.
There may be a butterfly effect, but what does it matter? If you have it, you can take it, forget it if you don't, it's a simple thing.
I remember that in the entertainment novels I read in my previous life, there seemed to be few people who accepted this woman, since this is the case, of course Li Xu has to fill this vacancy.
Anyway, this woman loves foreign big X, there is just one here, it will definitely make her go to the sky, Li Xu also thinks about the future four flying Bai Suzhen X2 plus Xiaoqing X2, or double flying gold inlaid jade, Qiu Moyan.
"Hello, Mr. Li. Just when Li Xu was in his heart, a rich voice came from next to him.
"Mr. Washington?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Just call me Denzel or Dan. "The other party is very respectful.
Li Xu nodded: "You have finished reading the script?"
"I'm done," Washington nodded, "just in time to see Mr. Lee here, so I came over to say thank you." ”
"Oh?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows again.
"I don't know where Mr. Lee got to know about me, but I feel like you've given me this opportunity, and I love the role of Mark. Washington said sincerely, and there was a little excitement at the end.
"Then do a good job, interpret the layering of the characters here, and make the audience like this character. Li Xu shrugged.
"Yes, sir, I will. Washington nodded again, and then took his leave, not at all dragging his feet.
Well, the blacks who can come out of Hollywood are all IQ on the line. Li Xu suddenly liked this guy a little. When he was selected to play Brother Dark Horse, it was purely because he couldn't remember how many black actors who had strength and could give people a handsome feeling.
There are only three alternatives, Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Terrence Howard, but Smith is now less than 16 years old, and Howard is a year younger, so he has to go to Washington.
Unexpectedly, there was a surprise, he made it clear that he came over on purpose to make a good impression, but he didn't show this awareness on his face at all, just thanked him, and left without hesitation at all.
It is estimated that I should have inquired about his background, or knew a little bit about the inside story of this movie, and understood that a good impression was not made overnight, it was indeed very good, and I would seize the opportunity.
Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but look at the set that was already ready in the distance, and after Washington passed, the trio began to laugh again, and the relationship was quite good.
Fred's words immediately rang in his ears: they are all small characters now, and they will cherish this hard-won opportunity.
