Zhou Xuan and Emma spent Thanksgiving in the hotel, and returned to New York with the team the next day.

The Devils' schedule is finally over, and the Knicks have been given time to adjust, with two days off from practice and awaiting a challenge from the Atlanta Hawks at home.

Zhou Xuan and Emma stayed at home watching movies and chatting together. Evening director Gilmour? Toro called, saying that he happened to be in New York and wanted to come to the door and ask if he was free, but of course Zhou Xuan would not refuse.

Early in the morning of the 27th, Gilmour arrived at Zhou Xuan's house.

"Long time no see, how are you doing?" Zhou Xuan welcomed the fat man into the door.

Gilmour smiled: "It's okay, it's been going well recently, although "Crazy Mountain" can't be filmed in the short term, but "Pacific Rim" Legendary Pictures is interested in filming, and it can start shooting as soon as this summer." ”

Legendary Pictures by Thomas? Founded in 2004, Tours is an independent film production company in the United States, which has not been around for a long time and is not small, and they must have invested a lot of money in the film.

After a few pleasantries, Zhou Xuan prepared his favorite iced cappuccino coffee for Gilmour and chatted about the movie.

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "How is the script?" Can you shoot it the way I said? ”

He cares about the script because he has made a lot of suggestions, especially if the Chinese are really the leading actors, it feels great.

Gilmour shook his head, a little embarrassed and said, "The others are okay, and it's okay to change to a woman as the first starring role." As long as you find a beautiful woman who can fight, the gimmick is stronger than the original script. What is controversial is that the male number one uses Chinese actors, and the most popular male protagonist sacrifices and blew himself up. ”

"Uh, what's the dispute?" Although this matter has little to do with Zhou Xuan, discussing the script is purely for fun, he still wants to know more about the inside story.

"We have to think about the box office, and if you lose at the box office because a role is bad, it doesn't seem to have any good actors in China, especially young people in their early 20s," Gilmour explained. ”

"Then you won't use the Japanese again, will you?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Why do you keep bothering about this?" Gilmour shook his head and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I won't use Japanese, but the possibility of using young Chinese actors is also very low." ”

"For what?"

Gilmour said: "There are too few young Chinese actors who have entered the mainstream American film industry, and Zhang Ziyi has a certain reputation in the United States, many people know her, others can't, it's as simple as that." ”

Zhou Xuan didn't know how well he said this sentence, maybe he did have such an objective feeling in Hollywood.

Gilmour also said: "Hollywood is mostly Chinese kung fu stars, after all, martial arts are only available to Chinese, Hollywood needs such actors who can play, and Hollywood has many actors who shoot literary dramas, not at all." ”

"Dude, you said that the examples of good Chinese actors are not appropriate, and this is not a literary film, right?" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.

"That's right." Gilmour cupped his eyes and smiled, "Anyway, I'll tell you, so you don't look forward to it too much." Many Chinese actors are stuck in language at the first level, and they are not authentic when they speak English. This film is looking for Chinese actors, the rivalry is a problem, how can you enter the play if you are not able to communicate? In fact, Chinese actors should not always focus on Hollywood, and the box office of local films in Japan has surpassed that of Hollywood movies in the past three years. ”

The Japanese love their own films, which is why Gilmour doesn't want to look for Japanese actors anymore. An actor can't attract Japanese people to spend money to go to the movies, but the box office in China has been on the rise in recent years.

Zhou Xuan thought about it, there really seems to be no actor in China who is suitable to star in this movie, and the famous Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and others are too old. Jay Chou acted in "The Green Hornet", but let him play the male lead...... This guy can't even speak Chinese clearly! It's a tragedy! As for mainland actors, the young ones are not famous. According to the aesthetics of American audiences, in addition to Zhou Xuan, another person on the list is Lang Lang. Who would have imagined what Lang Lang would be like starring in this movie? Playing the piano in the mech cabin?

Zhou Xuan exhaled, not planning to waste his mind about this. "Are you going to find an actor now?"

"Well, but it's not easy to find, it's mainly the female number one, which is the key person. After discussing the scene at the end, it is going to be changed to a happy ending, in case the box office is very good, if the two hang up one, it will be difficult to make a sequel. Gilmour said.

"Huh? is still preparing to make a sequel, then I wish you a big sell. ”

Gilmour looked at Emma and asked, "You don't have any activities scheduled for today, do you?" Some details of the film, I would like to discuss with Stephen so as not to make sense of logic. ”

Emma shook her head. "It's okay, I'm also very interested in this movie, and I want to hear the content."

As long as you choose the protagonist, you will start filming in Hong Kong this summer, and the time is very tight. Kolo? Moretz and Lang? Pullman's role is set. Chloe is the niece who plays the heroine, and Pullman and Gilmour are iron buddies and queen actors, and this kind of thing always can't forget him, playing a person who sells monster-related goods.

Gilmour said the details of the movie, in addition to the mentality of the characters, mainly the weapons of several mechas. The movie doesn't plan to let the two mechas show their weapons at the end of the day, and the Chinese and Russian mecha also have to show some tricks, so they increase the defense of the monsters and make them more durable. If the Chinese mecha is brilliant, the Chinese audience will also buy it.

Just like "Special Forces", South Korean actor Lee Byung-hun starred in the Japanese ninja "White Ghost", which is still a big hit in Japan, as long as some Japanese elements are added. "Pacific Rim" is not small, it is oriented to the world, so it also adds some Japanese elements, and the idea of the mecha is based on the Japanese anime EVA, and Gilmour likes these things. The monster is also from Godzilla from Japan.

Zhou Xuan and Emma both put forward some opinions, cannon fodder is also a must, according to the explanation of the script, because of synaesthesia, the monsters know the weaknesses of the three mechas. It's just that the protagonist's mecha has been spared for a long time. This statement is a bit far-fetched, people and dead monsters have synaesthesia brains, how can other monsters know the information of the Dao?

This place needs to make some changes, that is, to add a sentence, the monster's brain structure is very strange, can it communicate directly through brain waves without language, and so on.

"Storm Crimson" still has three hands, but it has been moved to the back. In the original script, his waist could turn and throw the monster out of the coffin, but the third hand was useless. Now it's designed that as long as the monster grabs his two hands, the third hand will take a knife and go around the front from the back to give the monster a knife, or turn it into a weapon directly on the shoulder. It's certainly a lot more powerful than affecting balance on one side. In normal times, it will stand behind it like a cannon, which is the killer feature of this mecha.

Russian mechs don't use weapons, just like the original set to be strong in defense. The main Zhou Xuan is too lazy to think about foreign mechas, anyway, they are cannon fodder.

The Ranger mecha also has an extra spear as a weapon, so that there is no need to use the boat as a bat, and it is usually placed behind the back, like two sticks, which are combined when used, which was not at the beginning of the movie five years ago. The plot at the beginning is not changed, otherwise the protagonist's sister will definitely not die, and the strength of the mecha is too strong.

These suggestions are easy to say, but if you really want to make special effects, the budget will definitely be higher, and you still have to discuss it. After having lunch together, Gilmour didn't stay for dinner in the afternoon, interfering with the couple's world, and went back to the hotel satisfied.

At dinner, Emma said, "Actually, there is a Chinese person who can act in this movie, and that is you." You have no problem conversing in English. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Maybe, but I haven't learned acting, so how can I be free?" This year, I will go back to China during the holidays, participate in some activities, take a month off, practice shooting, and the holidays will probably pass. And I don't think we're going to be eliminated anytime soon this year, the goal is to play until June. ”

Emma took a bite of food and said with a smile: "I knew that you would say that, so I didn't bring it up, and Gilmour must have known that you were not available." ”

starring in a movie will be very interesting, Zhou Xuan has not thought about it, but I don't know how long it will take to make a movie, if he spends all his time on it, it will be a bit unprofessional. There have been people who have done this before, and that is O'Neill, who has made several movies and is the big winner of the "Golden Sour Plum Award" for bad films.

That night, Zhou Xuan didn't do too much, conserving his strength and preparing for tomorrow night's game against the Eagles.

The Hawks are strong this year, finishing fourth in the East, ahead of the Celtics and the Heat. All five of the starters from last season were retained in the squad, and they also poached Jamal in the summer? Crawford.

Crawford played badly in the Pacers, and even had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with the team's boss Granger because of ball possession issues, and the fact that he had never played in the playoffs in his career also made him a "cancer", but the Hawks still pulled him into the team without hesitation. As a result, Jamal played well, and the appearance of the sixth man greatly enhanced the Hawks' firepower, making him a strong contender for the sixth man of the year.

In addition, the Hawks also signed a young player Jordan? Crawford. TALLER IS 193CM, GRADUATED FROM XAVIER UNIVERSITY, AND LAST SEASON HE BECAME FAMOUS FOR "DUNKING LEBRON", AVERAGING 20 PER GAME. 5 points. He was drafted by the Nets with the 27th pick in the first round of this year's draft and was later traded to the Hawks.

Plus 2009 first-round pick 19th pick rookie Jeff? Teague, a white inside zaza? Pachulia, defensive blue-collar Jason? Collins, Lakers championship member Josh? Powell, the Hawks have been on the bench this year.

Last time, the Hawks beat the Wizards at home and won three in a row.

In an interview before the game, head coach Larry? "We're not here to play in New York," Drew said. I think the Hawks have every chance to beat the Knicks, and we have to give it our all. ”

Interestingly, the Knicks' current No. 1 assistant coach is Mike, who was just fired by the Hawks at the end of last season? Woodson. He is very aware of the Hawks' tactics, and the Knicks' "Hawks offense" is also practiced by him with his players.

Drew is the new coach and would love to prove himself. Woodson wanted to avenge the eagle's shot at him. The coaching staff of both sides has to give each other some color looks. This game is full of gimmicks.
