Chapter 214: Speed Racing
As early as he expected, the movie is now a big hit, with a box office of more than 100 million dollars in a week, which fully proves his popularity and influence in the United States, and some film companies cannot turn a blind eye. For half a month, I have been running around every day, trying to promote the movie, isn't it just waiting for this day?
When he had the opportunity to come to the door, he naturally wouldn't miss it, thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand to Hou Zheng in front of him and said, "Promise to come down for me, just say that I will be on time tomorrow." Then he got up and went to his bedroom, opened the laptop at the bedside, and used the search engine to look up Luc's relevant information.
Luc Besson is a Frenchman, a director and screenwriter, and the commercial films he produced have achieved good box office, and his literary films are not bad, and they have won many awards at major international film festivals, and have a high reputation and status in the white Western world, and are praised by the media as the Spielberg of France.
Two years ago, the film "Death Express" written by him, that is, "Extraordinary Human Trafficker" in the eyes of the Chinese people, was regarded by the media in the circle as a transformation to an action movie, this small-budget film with a production cost of less than 5 million US dollars, was a big hit as soon as it was painted, and the global box office was close to 50 million US dollars, which is quite good. Recently, some media announced that Luc is preparing a sequel to "Death Express" and is expected to be filmed at the beginning of the year.
Turning off the computer, a hint of excitement flashed in Feng Fengxing's eyes, and he leaned back on the chair with his chin in his hand, thinking about what benefits he could gain from being inside. The plot of the first episode of the movie, there are a lot of fighting actions, almost throughout the whole play, and dazzling driving skills, all of which interest him, and I believe that the sequel will also follow the style of the first part, as a selling point. But what role do you play in it? is the star Jason Statham who replaced the previous film. Become the protagonist of a movie? Or go to play a supporting role in soy sauce? None of this is known.
Although he has already made a big name in the United States, it is unlikely that he can play a supporting role, but considering that the status of Chinese in foreign film and television circles has never been high. It is not ruled out that the other party wants to use his reputation to achieve a high box office in North America. Regardless of the outcome. He has to go and see it, and if he really can't do it, he can refuse, it's not a big deal.
After thinking about all the problems and leaving nothing out, Fengyuxing stretched out on the chair, and then took out the phone and pulled it back to Beijing. There was still a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he only promised Liu Yifei to go home today last night. Now I can only lose my words, and I don't know what will happen to the little girl, so it is estimated that a complaint is indispensable.
Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected. Liu Yifei, who was in the living room of Fengfu, said happily with the phone in his hand, "Brother Feng, have you arrived at the airport?" Sister Tongtong and I are going to pick you up."
"Sissi, there is something going on here, it may take two days to delay" Feng Fengxing took a sip of the tea brought by Lin Feng. explained.
"I hate it, Brother Feng, you don't count, you said that you will go home today", Liu Yifei said dissatisfiedly with a small mouth, a small hand. Angrily, he grabbed the teddy bear next to him and threw it to the other side of the sofa, as if this was the way to relieve his anger.
Fengyuxing touched his nose helplessly, and he didn't have to think about it to know what Liu Yifei's expression was, when the little girl was usually filming outside, she always didn't like to talk coldly, and she didn't want to be close to anyone. But as long as it is related to himself, he is very childish, and he doesn't care about it, which makes him love and helpless.
"Sissi, I'm really in trouble, I'll definitely go home in two days", Feng Fengxing hurriedly promised.
"Don't lie to me", Liu Yifei looked at it, smiled and said coquettishly to Li Tong, who was sitting next to him.
Then Fengyuxing agreed to a series of unequal treaties, only to appease Liu Yifei, hang up the phone, and take a long breath, the little girl is getting more and more difficult, and she will always be like a child who doesn't grow up, and she can't cry or laugh.
The next morning, the wind and rain took Lin Feng and took Luc in front of the car at his residence in Los Angeles.
In a small estate outside of Los Angeles, a three-story villa stands in the center of a 10,000-square-meter lawn. At this time, in the hall on the first floor, Luc, who was wearing a black fur coat, was writing and drawing on the sofa with a script in his hand, and his expression was extremely focused.
An old man in his fifties opposite him was much more chic, tasting slowly with a glass of wine in his hand, seeing that Luc was still working hard, he chuckled and said, "Luc, you should learn to enjoy life, work is not all yours, right?"
Luc put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and said seriously, "Berg, I'm not like you, it's okay if a movie can be delayed for a few years, if you don't get the script of this play done quickly, the company will go crazy."
"Well, how are you going to test that little fellow?" Spielberg twirled his glass in his hand and changed the subject.
Luc scratched his forehead lightly with his pen, thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to try kung fu, he is really good, I believe no one can do better, I hope he can drive just as well, what do you say, Berg?" ”
"You've already made a decision, haven't you?" Spielberg said with a smile, with no intention of expressing his opinion at all.
Before Luc could reply, an old man who looked like a butler walked in and said to him, "Mr. Luc, an Oriental man named Wind and Rain is asking to see him."
"Oh, let him in," Luc said, turning.
Feng Fengxing entered the living room with Lin Feng, his eyes quickly swept over the room, and when he passed Spielberg's face, he was slightly stunned. As a person in the circle, you may not be too familiar with Luc's name, but as the most famous director in the world today, Spielberg, there are definitely not many people who have not heard of it, but he didn't expect the other party to appear here, nodding to Spielberg with a smile and saying hello, and Spielberg was also full of smiles, looking at him with interesting eyes, as if he had found something interesting.
Ignoring Spielberg, with hot eyes, Feng Feng Xing focused his attention on another forty-year-old man, and through inquiring about the information, he knew that the man in front of him was the main one today, the French director Luc Besson, walked over and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Luc, I'm here to audition, I don't know what I should do?" ”
There are no words about the wind and rain, and he goes directly to the topic, and his attitude is neither arrogant nor humble, neither the arrogance of young people, nor the nervousness and inferiority of foreign directors, everything is very calm. There is a maturity and stability that does not match the age.
Luc on the other side was very satisfied, and looked at the wind and rain for more than a minute with scrutinizing eyes. Greeted Fengyuxing under the seat opposite, and said, "I have a script in my hand." It's an action movie, of course, a certain amount of car skills is very important, I believe you have no problem at all in terms of kung fu, if your car skills are as good as your kung fu, the hero of this drama is yours, is there a problem? After speaking, he stared at the eyes of the wind and rain. Waiting for his answer.
Luc's words made Feng Fengxing happy in his heart, he was actually the leading actor, it seems that his luck is not bad, as long as he wins the protagonist of this play. It is equivalent to knocking on the door of Hollywood, and having a foothold, as long as the box office is not bad, there is no need to worry about no acting in the future. As for the other party's slightly condescending tone, he automatically ignored it. Chinese actors are not valued in Hollywood, this tradition has a long history, and it is not something he can change, at least not now. What he needs to do most now is to let his initial fame take root and grow into a big tree step by step. By that time, no one would dare to despise him anymore.
"There is no problem at all", Feng Yu Xingxiao is very confident, and he thinks that his skills in playing with cars are not bad.
Luc nodded, beckoned to the wind and rain to walk to the garage together, and followed Spielberg, who wanted to join in the fun.
Several people entered the underground garage and stopped in front of an A8 Audi sedan, Luc pointed to the black Audi, turned to Fengyuxing and said, "This is your current car, let's start", after speaking, he opened the door and got into the back compartment, Spielberg, the old man, did not fall, and got into the back seat of the car with Luc.
When Fengyuxing entered the cab, he remembered that he did not have a US driver's license, and the old housekeeper in the co-pilot seat next to him saw his embarrassment and handed him a small notebook "This is a temporary driver's license".
Without worries, the wind and rain started the Audi sports car, slowly drove out of the manor, and after getting on the road, the accelerator began to accelerate, and the speed gradually increased to 80 kilometers per hour.
This sports car is relatively good in Audi, the maximum speed of 250 kilometers per hour is not the best in sports cars, but his horsepower is really extraordinary, from 0 ~ 100 kilometers in less than 6 seconds. Although compared with the Bugatti in his family, there is no comparison, and it can only be regarded as an "ox cart", but it is not bad.
Wind and rain are also car lovers, otherwise there will be all kinds of expensive sports cars in the garage at home, even if the identity of the star does not give him much opportunity to drag racing like ordinary people, but the habit of driving fast has not weakened at all. Usually don't have a chance, forget it, now it's a temporary driver's license, and he doesn't have to be responsible for violations, if he doesn't play once, he's really sorry for himself, and if there are any problems, Luc will solve them, he doesn't have to worry at all, Feng Fengxing thought a little bad in his heart.
"Mr. Luc and Mr. Spielberg, you don't mind if I drive fast, do you?" Not long after getting on the road, Fengyuxing drove a sports car through the traffic, and asked the two people sitting in the back while turning around.
"Wind and rain, you don't have to worry, do what you think", Luc said directly, came out today, just want to know how the level of wind and rain driving is, if the driving skills are good enough, you don't need to find stuntmen during filming, you can also use this as a selling point, why not? Besides, the old butler on the co-pilot has excellent driving skills, and he doesn't have to worry about the safety of himself and Spielberg, just drive faster to see how good his driving skills are in the wind and rain, and to make adjustments for shooting.
It's just that he doesn't know that the wind and rain are a little faster, generally refers to the speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, compared to the speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour when he drove a Bugatti sports car, the limit of the Audi car is only 250 kilometers, even if the performance and engine of the car are not considered, the speed of 300 kilometers per hour is also at the top, in his eyes it is indeed a little faster.
Spielberg next to him also agreed, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's okay, my old man is not as weak as you think."
Both of them came over with strong winds and waves, so they naturally won't be easily intimidated, saying that with the congested roads in Los Angeles, it would be good for ordinary people to drive their cars to 100, and there is no reason to worry at all, but is it ordinary people who travel in wind and rain?
Seeing that the two didn't care, the wind and rain didn't say much, and then it was time for him to perform, and he didn't enjoy the fun of drag racing for a while, which made him miss it a lot.
With a push on the accelerator on his foot and a slight shift with his right hand, the speed increased from 80 to 160 after more than ten seconds, and the Audi sports car under the seat, like a roaring beast, rampaged in the traffic. Of course, with the technique of wind and rain, it is impossible to crash into other cars, and on the road that is driving in the forward direction, one car after another is easily overtaken by his Audi, leaving only a dashing tail and a little exhaust.
Los Angeles is worthy of being the second largest city in the United States, as can be seen from the number of cars on the road, on the one-way twelve-lane road, cars are like ants, the road is full of paving, and there is no room for more things, not to mention overtaking, even if you want to drive a little faster, it is extremely difficult. However, the wind and rain is an exception, I saw him driving an Audi car, like a slippery swimming fish, shuttling in the sea of cars like a needle, any little bit of small space does not let go, the sports car under his operation, in the traffic like a fish in water, the inner road and the outer road between the left and right, easy and abnormal, no reluctance.
It's just that in this way, the highway is chaotic, the originally congested road surface makes the wind and rain go, and it becomes chaotic, many car drivers keep honking their horns to express their dissatisfaction, and many people even put their heads out of the window, angrily scolding, as for what to scold, the wind and rain did not hear, he is busy now, how can he have the kung fu to deal with these guys with excess hormones.
With both hands on the steering wheel, his eyes glancing at a red Ferrari in the wrong lane. The other party was less than twenty meters away from him, but he was much more arrogant than him. In the wrong lane, he was like no one, and there had been several crashes behind him, but he was not much slower than him in terms of speed. But it's nothing, no matter how good the other party's driving skills are, it has nothing to do with him, but the other party doesn't seem to want to give up, and he provokes him in the opposite direction. In the Ferrari sports car, a blonde woman in a strip of wisps leaned on the window, stretched out her middle finger to point at the wind and rain, and then turned her middle finger upside down, with a look in her eyes, I don't accept you to bite me.
This is definitely naked-naked, naked, and insulting, Feng Fengxing's eyes flashed, and a wave of anger rose in his heart, he dared to challenge him, he felt the need to teach the other party a good lesson, so that the other party knew how powerful he was. As for self-cultivation and auditions, he has long been put aside.
