Chapter 315: Back to Basics
The debuts of Zifeng and Yutian were very successful, and the sales of the album were much stronger than those of ordinary newcomers, and King was relieved about this, so he had to deal with another matter - the filming of the Matrix.
"San Francisco is not far from Los Angeles," King said to Ms. Liu, who came to see her off, "and Fei Fei should try to live without her mother, right?" Tell the patriarch that I will try to come back during the Spring Festival. Even if I can't come back, I'll send Fei Fei back. β
As King left San Francisco again, a voice in an office said, "He's finally gone, and the rest is up to her." β
"We can't rely on her alone, we have to prepare ourselves, and we must not let go of the opportunity this time."
When I arrived in Hollywood, I had to find Xiao Gang first, Xiao Gang has been very busy recently, otherwise King would not have been in San Francisco for so long and he wouldn't have to go and take a look. He practiced actual combat martial arts, and the gorgeous Cheng dΓΉ in terms of moves was much stronger than the European and American punches and kicks, and in addition to filming The Matrix, many directors took a fancy to his performance and added some small roles to the repertoire to increase the look and feel of the movie. After researching with King, he took on a lot of such roles, although they were all negative roles that were killed not long after they appeared, but they have a lot of benefits for his acting skills and popularity, and the original skeptical hacker crew regretted giving him too few scenes.
However, this is not the only reason why Xiao Gang is busy, the other reason is: he is in love. fell in love with a third-rate Hollywood star named Jennifer, and the two often get together after filming.
King was a little unhappy when he saw that woman, a typical snobbish woman, who was the boss of Xiao Gang and squeezed his eyebrows at him there, that is, a typical Korean man like Xiao Gang was fascinated when he met this kind of more open woman when he first arrived in the United States, right? But King didn't plan to pay attention to it, the emotions of the artists need to be dealt with by themselves, and they won't come forward if there is no big problem.
Liu Yifei is very interested in making movies, and she actively developed in this direction when she was in China, but going abroad made her lose the stage of acting, and her mother did not agree with her artistic plans, she thought that her dream was about to stop, but now that she has the opportunity, of course she has to watch it well.
Among the three agents of the Matrix, King plays the agent with the fewest scenes, even less than the one played by Xiao Gang, and because he is the latest to arrive at the crew, there are many scenes that belong to him that will be filmed alone. As the leading actor, Keanu is very satisfied with Xiao Gang's performance, there are a lot of difficult shots that can be shot successfully without NG, and Xiao Gang is indispensable. However, the appearance of King has made him have a great change in his concept of film shooting.
Scene control zhì, king is not only good at martial arts design, but also scene control zhì. In the Matrix, there are basically martial arts scenes where agents appear, and in martial arts scenes, the status between the protagonist and the supporting role is easily confused, and there will be this kind of problem with Xiao Gang's shooting, his moves are gorgeous, but he robs Keanu's demeanor. To change this, it is up to the pre-rehearsal and post-production zuò. However, the post-production zuò of multiple shots will make the scene feel choppy and the effect will be slightly affected. But it's different from King, he doesn't need rehearsal at all, just let Keanu play himself, he can fully cooperate, and completely highlight Keanu.
This kind of shot is very comfortable to shoot, but every action of Keanu is made after the king is released, but the action is the first to come, the fall to the ground, the pain is painful, the expression or something fully matches the requirements of the filming, there is no need for any computer improvement in the post-production, the effect is much stronger.
"It's just fantastic, our movie just has too many stunts and too much artificial atmosphere."
"There's nothing wrong with that," King replied, "The Matrix is supposed to be a movie about computers, and it's a good thing that there are more artificial stunts, right?" β
"It may not be a big problem for this one, but if there were more and more stunts in American films, it would be off-putting," Keanu said, "and the audience is looking forward to it now." β
"Like a clock?" King laughed.
"It's very apt, just like the Swiss clock, you want to make a handmade zuΓ², that is, back to basics. I've heard that King wants to bring oriental elements to the United States, and he should work more on this. The United States is one of the most inclusive places in the world for the arts. β
"You're talking about skill," King said, "and I think it's not just skill that I want to bring to the United States." In terms of skills, I will teach Xiaogang a lot to learn. He suddenly pointed at Liu Yifei, "This girl is my niece, and she may also set foot in Hollywood in the future." β
Keanu greeted Liu Yifei in a friendly manner, "King, you have chosen a good student, you can see that the future is limitless." β
"Fei Fei, did you hear it, Keanu said that your future is limitless, what role will this big brother remember you when the time comes."
Liu Yifei can also be a smart girl, and when she heard this, she quickly bowed, "Thank you, Brother Keanu." β
"That's too much, isn't it?" Keanu laughed, "King, I'm a lot older than you, and it's almost the same if you call me brother." Now it's okay, she calls you uncle, calls me brother, according to you Chinese words, is it considered a mess of generation? β
"That can't be said, who made Keanu look young?"
"Uh-huh, okay," Keanu had no choice but to be relied on by King, "then with such a cute sister, it's my job to find a suitable role." King, as the president of an entertainment company, you are really responsible for the artists under your control. β
King didn't answer yet, and Liu Yifei next to him also said, "Thank you Brother Keanu so much, it's the Chinese New Year in a few days, can you invite Brother Keanu to us?" β
"Huh? Really? Keanu was a little surprised, "I know that I still have a little Chinese ancestry, but I haven't participated in this festival yet." β
"Then go ahead," King nodded, "If I asked her to call you brother because the president of an entertainment company consciously created conditions for his artists, Fei Fei's invitation was completely sincere." β
Keanu nodded, "Okay, no problem, just for this sincerity, I will definitely find time to go with me when the time comes." But King, you are hypocritical, as a punishment, you will have to participate in the script I found for Fei Fei at that time. β
"Oh, you're kidnapping me." Keanu nodded, "That's right, it's going to kidnap you, and if you want to support Fei Fei, wouldn't it be more certain that you would play?" β
King smiled and didn't speak, which means that he has accepted Keanu's arrangement, in terms of economic strength, he is certainly stronger than Keanu, but in terms of fame and connections in Hollywood, the gap between him and Keanu is not ordinarily big, and if you want to be popular, of course, you have to obey the other party's arrangement.
King's filming was basically done at one time, much faster than expected, so much so that he still had time to take Liu Yifei on a tour of Hollywood, telling her every piece of history here, "Whether we admit it or not, Hollywood is the world's film center in the current era, so the first thing my acting artists need to do is to make a name in Hollywood, and my expectations for Fei Fei are here." β
"This, I will work hard," Liu Yifei watched King's filming and has positioned him as his idol in film and television actors, "But I want to see my uncle leave his name here first." β
King smiled, he is a president, what does it matter if he can leave his name? As he was talking, he suddenly felt that he was being noticed. In Hollywood, who is not well-known yet, who will pay attention? He looked in that direction.
"Liu Zhenwu?" A female voice with surprise came over.
(There are more and more stunt elements in American films, which will promote the development of movies in the initial stage, but it will definitely be restricted later, which has also attracted the attention of American filmmakers, will the arrival of King cause a little change?) οΌ
