Chapter 430: Phased Completion
In the eyes of Americans, Asians are similar, Koreans can play Japanese, Japanese can play Chinese, Chinese can also play Koreans, although Wood in the script of "Cold Heart" clearly said that he is Chinese, but it is not a problem to use Korean stars to perform, Lee Byung-hun and Zheng Zhixun are famous in Hollywood as Japanese ninja screen images, and this time it is not impossible to become a Chinese Taoist.
The principle of Hollywood film businessmen is to use cooked rather than raw, Lee Byung-hun and Jung Ji-hoon began to emerge in Hollywood with "Special Forces" and "Ninja Assassin" respectively, and they all entered Hollywood as action stars. Philheimer prefers to use the two South Korean actors.
However, Jeff's face can't be left unavoided, he has made a lot of contributions to the company in recent years, and now the film market is sluggish, especially the results of several major projects led by Jon himself are not ideal, and even some of them have suffered losses, so that Lionsgate wants to start a layoff proposal, if it weren't for Jeff to select and release a few good films, Lionsgate's life would be even more difficult, so he agreed to He Mu to participate in the audition, but his principle and prejudice against the Chinese made him not happily agree to be played by He Mu at the beginning.
Jon couldn't change what Jeff had decided, he could only regretfully accept the fact when Datang called him. He said "sorry" vigorously, and Datang also knew that he couldn't be blamed for this matter, and now he can only face the difficulties. In terms of hardware, Datang has confidence in He Mu, in terms of appearance, although He Mu is not a top handsome in the Chinese actor circle, there is no problem with Li Bingxian and Zheng Zhixun, who killed small eyes in seconds, in terms of kung fu, He Mu's foundation since childhood and his grandfather's careful teaching. The strength of a fight of ten is certainly not comparable to the level of Korean star taekwondo crash course, South Korea still has no real action star due to the problem of heritage, and it depends on the Chinese to play the action. Only the Chinese can play the movie action tricks. Coupled with the fact that He Mu and the role of the script are highly compatible, the certainty of winning this role is still very large.
But in terms of software, He Mu's reputation in Hollywood is not as good as that of Li Bingxian and Zheng Zhixun, and the agency behind He Mu is a Chinese film and television company, Tiger Wolf Film and Television. And Li Zheng and Li Zheng both signed with top Hollywood agencies. The team of agents behind them had easier access to and influenced Lionsgate's decision than Datang.
These are all headaches for Datang, and one of the more headaches is how to tell He Mu this somewhat cruel and helpless fact, now He Mu is preparing for the most difficult tomato war in Shama Town, he is on the rise, if he knows that this matter will breed resistance.
In fact, He Mu also saw this news soon after Datang got the news, which he only saw when an enthusiastic fan who didn't know the inside story @ him on Weibo and congratulated him on the shooting of the American version of the movie. Some people congratulate and some fans comment that Hollywood should choose Chinese to play the male number two, and should not be cheap Koreans. He Mu didn't reply, just quietly read the news, he didn't even ask Jeff to guess the matter, it must be Jeff's boss who thinks He Mu is not the best candidate, so he prepared two more candidates, and the three of them jointly selected the most suitable male number two actor.
Later, Datang found He Mu and mentioned this matter, which also proved He Mu's conjecture, He Mu thought better than Datang, he understood that the road to Hollywood for Chinese actors would not be smooth, Cheng Long also went through several failures of "Cannonball Speed" and "Killer Trench" before finally "Red Tomato" became famous overseas and "Rush Hour" completely exploded, at that time he was in his forties. The young He Mu will calmly face these setbacks, but he will not lose his confidence in the ambition of this role, Wood is born from He Mu, a character with distinctive Chinese characteristics created by Tao Quduo, he, including Tao Quduo, definitely does not want to play this role is Korean, if they say that Taoism and Taoism are also Korean, it will not be beautiful.
After chatting about going to the United States, He Mu checked the tomatoes in his hand, "Brother Tang, do you want to play together in the tomato war later, you can make a cameo appearance as a tourist, do you see that big-breasted girl, just throw tomatoes at her when the time comes." He Mu pointed to the sexy beauty Zhou Weitong not far away, and later there would be a group of unknown tourists throwing tomatoes at her, and all she had to do was to make a very cute and pitiful look in the face of the siege, and when she was about to confuse a group of old men, a group of old ladies led by Ma Li came out fiercely and kicked him away.
Datang shook his head, "I won't play with you anymore, I'll just watch it." ”
"Okay, Wu Fa Wu Tian, when you pretend to be a villager, and Teacher Ma Jian's group, don't you two want to fight with Brother Ma and give you a chance, but you can only lose and not win, you have to show Brother Ma's courage and know the way?" In line with the principle of waste utilization, He Mu also pulled Wu Fa and Wu Tian, who had been eating and drinking for nothing, into the ranks of group performances, and they made a cameo appearance as a pair of twin villagers who were violently beaten by Teacher Ma Jian. Although the two brothers were a little unhappy, they just nagged a few words, and they still listened to Brother Mu very much, especially once He Mu drunk Wu Tian and beat Wu Fa, and once again drunk Wu Fa and beat Wu Tian, the two of them were more obedient, and sure enough, after the two brothers separated, their combat effectiveness dropped by a few levels.
The last scene is a carnival, several truckloads of tomatoes outside the village are ready, hundreds of extras have also changed into costumes and are ready to wait, some are playing villagers, some are playing tourists, this is the first time in Li Weiran's life to mobilize so many actors at one time, he has some expectations, if it goes well, it should be all filmed in one day.
The development of the plot is like this, Mr. Mao held Chunniang hostage, and used her to blackmail Tang Gaopeng to hand over the treasure of Hu Lianzi, when they went back to the village to go to the treasure, they happened to meet Tang Gaopeng's tomato carnival that had been planned for a long time, and Tang Gaopeng Chunniang, who was handcuffed, took advantage of the chaos of the tomato war to escape from Mr. Mao's control, and then there was a variety of interesting tomato war carnivals.
In order to take care of the male and female protagonists, the rivalry between He Mu, Shishi and Huang Haipeng was filmed first, when He Mu saw Hai Pine again, he had already become a tomato man, his clothes and face were full of tomato juice, and he still had half a tomato on his head, and he held a pot bottom on his face to resist the attacks of passers-by, which can be described as embarrassing.
With the unity of the villagers, Mr. Mao was finally subdued, and took the initiative to put himself on the flagpole, Tang Gaopeng, who was about to enjoy the victory and play with Chunniang, found that Zhou Dingbang, who had not shown up, slipped away from the crowd of tourists in a three-jumper, and there was a box on the three-jumper, which was clearly a box containing treasures, so Tang Gaopeng didn't care about the beauty in front, and rode on a horse and began to chase after the three-jumper, and at this time, the "expert" Zhou Dingbang who drove the three-jumper was happily humming "I am ...... of the melancholy youth".
Although Tang Gaopeng is in the prime of life, Zhou Dingbang is a bad old man, but the director's design is to let Zhou Dingbang knock Tang Gaopeng down first, it seems that Tang Gaopeng has no combat effectiveness, and when Zhou Dingbang relaxes and is ready to leave, Tang Gaopeng uses his last little strength to slam Zhou Dingbang with the soles of his shoes loaded with dirt, KO in one move, and then the two of them are lying on the Gobi Desert on a yellow background, and a round bead runs out of Zhou Dingbang's clothes...... At this point, He Mu's scenes in Brake Town are all over, and it will take three years to appear again.
No, it's not completely over, after Li Weiran shouted "Click", he expressed his gratitude and condolences to He Mu, who was covered with blood, and Li Liqun, who was sweating profusely, and then told the assistant director to start changing the looks of He Mu and Shishi, and supervise them to practice dancing, and he will seize the time to shoot the parts of other actors.
At the end of the movie, there is an "Impression of Brake Town", this allusion comes from the national teacher Zhang Yimou's "Impression Lijiang", which is a large-scale live stage performance, and Director Li's so-called "Impression Brake Town" is that all the actors are singing and dancing in front of the Brake Town Amusement Park, of course, He Mu and poetry are the mainstay, and they will also incarnate a hot pas de deux in the fashion male and female show, in order to show the difference between the rustic atmosphere in the movie.
When He Mu changed into a suit brightly, Shishi also changed into a sexy backless short skirt, her slender legs were wrapped in black silk stockings, her short ear-length hair was playful and beautiful, and the ten-centimeter high heels made her figure even better, showing the temptation of a half-mature woman everywhere. He Mu bent down and made a gesture of please, Shishi proudly put her hand on He Mu's hand like a queen, and then the two started a line dance.
Shishi's dance foundation is not said, she spent most of her time practicing dance before the age of 20, the body's balance, flexibility and rhythm perception of music are very strong, He Mu also practiced martial arts since childhood, but this martial arts is not the other dance, He Mu may be born with singing and dancing, and he trampled Shishi in an hour, but in order to have a perfect presentation at night, he can make the "Impression of Shama Town" impress people, Shishi still gritted his teeth and insisted, sometimes I really don't know if He Mu is intentional, It's just him for everything, and when she wants to deliberately step on him, she always can't step on it, it's not fair!
"Ahh Shishi screamed in pain.
"I'm sorry, Shishi, I stepped on you again, haluha." He Mu smiled heartlessly...... (To be continued......)
