Chapter 222: Elf Prince Fight
Orlando was so confident that he could get the role and put on the costume in front of the director, and the director, Jackson, was already satisfied, and then King walked in.
"Hello Jackson, I don't seem to be late," he said, glancing at Orlando, "but there's already an elven prince here." ”
"Yes, that's right," Jackson nodded, "There are many people who want to play the role of the Elven Prince, and Orlando is one of them, except for you who haven't seen the strength yet, he is currently the best." And King, can you explain what advantages you have over him? ”
King smiled and said in front of Orlando, "One of the advantages is that you invited me. Since you have extended an invitation to me, you must have thought that I could bring out the qualities of this prince in it. ”
Jackson nodded and said, "Yes, handsome appearance, noble temperament, and perseverance are the elf prince prototypes I am looking for, and I can find them in you, so I think you are suitable for this role, but now it seems that you are not the only suitable person." He looked at Orlando with admiration.
"Do you know how to use a bow?" King asked Orlando that the Elven Prince was an archer, and using a bow was a skill he had to master.
"Of course," Orlando said to his enemies, this guy wants to steal his role, even the best temper can't have a good impression of him, right? Then he did a bow draw pose, which was a very cool standard English longbowman's bow draw.
"Very good," Jackson applauded, "as I thought, a good actor can be, what does King think?" Orlando's eyes were full of pride.
King nodded, "If this is the elven prince Mr. Jackson wants, then congratulations, let's take our leave." As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Jackson heard what he was saying and hurriedly asked, "What?" Isn't Orlando's use of the bow elegant enough, noble enough? Isn't it worthy of the status of an elven prince? ”
"Graceful, generous, noble enough," replied King, "except why be an archer." ”
Orlando couldn't help but laugh, "Don't you know that in ancient mythology, elves generally appear as archers?" If you don't even know this, King should make up for this knowledge. It is important to know that as an actor, you must have a deep understanding of your role. ”
"Thank you for the advice," said the king, "Archers are indeed noble and generous, and they are not dressed in blood like warriors, and they are a profession that elves with a habit of cleanliness are happy to choose, but this class is good for defense and not good for attack, and in the case of a squad situation, it is impossible to close the distance when attacked by a surprise attack, does a longbowman really have a chance to shoot an arrow?" ”
"Huh?" "It's a real problem, it's a contradiction. He began his thoughts, "My premise is that several races should have it, elves, dwarves and humans work together to fight against the evil demon capital, and the best image of elves is also archers. King asked this question, could there be a solution? ”
"This needs to be demonstrated," King said, gesturing to the office they were in, "and I'm going to the set, there's room for a demo. ”
Jackson stood up, "Then we'll go check it out, but I heard that Mr. King just came out of the Matrix crew, right?" ”
"Jackson is really well-informed, and he did just talk to that over there. What, do you mind this? These two movies should be released at the same time, right? There should be no conflict at the box office. ”
"The first one really won't," Jackson said, "but both films will be trilogy, and the rest will be hard to say." But I'm not interested in this, I've watched a few of King's movies and videos, and I think that film has a better chance of choosing you, I don't know what role you get? Memphis? Smith? "There was a twinkle in his eyes, and if it was really these two characters, he might be a little repulsed. Two masterpieces of the same level, it is not appropriate to use the same person for the big supporting role in such a short period of time.
"The other two agents," King said nonchalantly, not thinking it was a big deal.
"Those two are a little lower," Jackson obviously knows a lot about the Matrix, "but, two?" Does King have two roles? ”
"It's the two of us." King pointed to himself and Xiao Gang, Jackson noticed that King also brought a person, this guy seems to have a good temperament, but he actually filmed the role of a hacker's agent, and it is obviously not suitable to arrange a trick in his own film, he quickly dispelled the idea of inviting Xiao Gang.
The four of them arrived on the set, and Jackson asked, "What does King want to demonstrate?" ”
"Of course, it's the tactics of a real archer," King replied, and then waved his hand for Xiao Gang to prepare.
"Huh?" Looking at Xiao Gang who was walking to the dressing room, Jackson asked, "Didn't King demonstrate it himself?" ”
"That's my student," King replied, "and it should be enough for him to do this kind of presentation." ”
Orlando's eyes were empty, he felt that this was an insult to him, but the other party hadn't performed yet, he couldn't say anything, just waiting to see the other party make a fool of himself.
It didn't take long for the little gang version of the elven prince to walk out, and Orlando and Jackson's eyes lit up. Walking beside King just now, Xiao Gang seemed to be covered by King's demeanor, but now it is different, wearing the costume of the elf prince, several characteristics are revealed. Noble, handsome, and with the kind of charm that is different from that of Easterners and Westerners, it seems that it would be good if there was an oriental face in the team.
Seeing Jackson's satisfied smile, Orlando was a little nervous, this role was his dream, it wouldn't really be snatched up, right?
"I'm satisfied with the image alone," Jackson nodded, "but King wants to show more than just the image, right?" Otherwise you don't have to come here. ”
"Of course not," King laughed, "So, Xiao Gang, let's show what a 'melee bow' is." As he spoke, he picked up a mace from the prop table and attacked Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang's body was like electricity, and he quickly jumped away, and then propped his left foot on the side wall, and his whole body had already flown towards a low tree next to him, and at the same time pulled out the prop arrow inserted in his body and shot at King.
King slammed the arrow away with his sword and chased after him. But by this time he was already a step slower, Xiao Gang had already jumped to the top of the low tree, and then sent another arrow.
"Wonderful, wonderful," Jackson looked at Xiao Gang with appreciation, "Is it just a distance?" King doesn't represent ordinary creeps, right? ”
"If you follow the minions in the Lord of the Rings," King replied, "two would have died." Generally, it is good for a leader-level person to be able to block one arrow, but it takes a fairly quick reaction to block a second arrow, and the reason why I blocked it was because I didn't want to be shot. ”
"Haha," Jackson laughed, "King is still very funny, how long can a student like you stay untouched?" You know, in general fighting, the use of bows and arrows is definitely not as good as melee weapons, if you can use bows and arrows for high-quality long-shot shooting, I am afraid it will lead a precedent for magic movies. ”
"He can shoot at most four shots," King said with some dissatisfaction, "and it's a one-on-one situation, and if more than two people work together in the battlefield, the effect will be a little worse." ”
"That's okay, after all, it's a movie, you can adjust it by technical means, what if it's king himself?"
"I don't know," King replied, "as long as there are arrows, they probably won't stop, right?" However, for the filming of the movie, four arrows should be enough. ”
"That's enough," Jackson said after a moment's thought, "and I now understand why you got two agents in Hackers instead of Memphis." So, what role does King want to play in this film? As soon as Orlando heard it, he knew that the character was gone, and that it wasn't even taken by his intended rival.
(For King, strength is the basis of a thing, and at this point, his concept is the same as that of Hollywood, and when Xiao Gang shows that extraordinary strength can improve the appreciability of the film, the role of the elf prince is also obtained by the way, but in this way, what role does King have?) )
