Chapter 34: Issuance Failures

"Baby, we've been together for so long, do you think I don't think I'm self-sufficient, and I like to find someone who doesn't like to be unhappy for myself?" Liang Xiaolong hugged Rachel, but Rachel didn't buy it at all: "Like, you're that kind of person, anyway, I won't let you toss around today." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "What a foolish toss, in Cairo, I was hit so many times with an iron rod by that group of thugs, it was fine, even if I fell, it would not be a big problem." Don't worry, trust me once, okay? And I promise that just this once, I will never play such a dangerous action again. ”

Stubbornly ran into a strong one, Rachel was completely out of line, but in order to prevent Liang Xiaolong from messing around in the future, she asked the drama manager to take a pen and paper and write such a line of big characters on the ground: If you play high-risk actions in the future, you will completely lose your family status, so that you can't go east to west, let you steal chickens and can't touch dogs, and you have to contract all housework, including washing underwear. After writing, Rachel felt satisfied: "Honey, sign it." Liang Xiaolong's face was even more bitter, this was simply a deed of sale: "Baby, the eldest husband is full of promises, there is no need to sign this kind of agreement, right?" Rachel pulled out her phone and threatened, "You can choose not to sign it." ”

After Liang Xiaolong finished signing, Julia came over: "Xiaolong, sister sympathizes with you, but I have to say, you deserve it!" Liang Xiaolong smiled: "I won't play this kind of action in the future, so this agreement is invalid for me." Julia gave him a blank look: "With a surname like you who pursues perfection, can you not play in the future?" Wait to be Rachel's house slave, poor one. ”

Liang Xiaolong had already made the same hairstyle as Wu Jing, and changed into the same clothes, and he really couldn't tell the real from the fake: "Danny, the camera can be adjusted, I don't want to come a few times, otherwise you should be careful that Rachel will beat you." Danny gave him a blank look: "Don't worry, as long as you can complete the action at one time, it will never be possible for you to shoot twice." Liang Xiaolong measured the distance and put the banana peel away: "Brandon, it's going to be." ”

Flying up, kicking on the shoulders, kicking down, somersaulting, stepping on the banana peel and slipping, holding the ground with his hands, turning over, a series of movements is dazzling and shocking, especially Rachel, who clenched her hands and almost stabbed her nails into the flesh. Call! Liang Xiaolong breathed a long sigh of relief, such an action was simply challenging his limits, especially the moment he stepped on the banana peel, Liang Xiaolong almost thought that he was going to fall, if it weren't for the fact that he was really angry half a year ago, he would never be able to complete the follow-up action.

"Wow, Uncle Xiaolong, you're amazing!" The little girl exclaimed first, and there was immediately warm applause on the set, and even Rachel had to admit that she could complete this scene, and Liang Xiaolong's risk was worth it. Danny also shouted on the side: "Xiaolong, put this set of footage on the company's website tomorrow, and it will definitely be reprinted by major TV stations." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "How can such a wonderful shot come out in advance?" It has to make the audience scream in the cinema to show its value. ”

The progress of the play was very slow, from seven o'clock to two o'clock at night, the duel between Brandon and Wu Jing was over, and the crew was able to call it a day, and on the way back, Rachel pinched Liang Xiaolong vigorously: "That heart was almost scared out, you have to compensate me." Liang Xiaolong smiled and said, "Baby, I paid you the whole person, isn't it enough?" Kayla rolled her eyes at the side, "Please, I'm still a child, don't teach me badly." Liang Xiaolong directly rewarded her with a violent shudder: "Will you know that you are a child?" I don't know who calls herself a beautiful girl with invincible big eyes all day long. ”

The next day, the box office of "Never Compromise" came out again in the new week, with a local box office of 18 million, an overseas box office of 31 million, and a total box office of up to 246 million US dollars, and the film will be released for another week, although the total box office cannot break the 300 million mark, but 27, 280 million is no problem, Mark's mouth is estimated to be grinning to the back of his head. Liang Xiaolong is naturally very excited, after the two films, his total income has reached 34 million, and after the release of "Tomb Robbery", the income is estimated to exceed 40 million.

The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Sun-Times and Time magazine reported on yesterday's interview, and the Los Angeles Times wrote: Mr. Liang Xiaolong threatened that "Tomb Robbery" will become the only film to break 200 million at the local box office and 400 million at the global box office in 95 years. Seeing this, Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but be depressed, when did he say this? However, this reporter was prescient, putting aside "The Cops and the Thieves", the box office of the other three films should be able to break the billion mark.

The Chicago Sun said: Liang Xiaolong denied his lover relationship with Julia, saying that they were just good friends, and as for how good it was, it was not something that we outsiders could know. This made Liang Xiaolong vomit blood even more, although he knew that the reporter would scribble, but he couldn't write so explicitly, right? It's like telling readers that he has a relationship with Julia, not a lover, but also a love affair.

Time Magazine is more objective than these two newspapers, and does not care about Liang Xiaolong's "love affair", but writes: Mr. Liang Xiaolong's attitude towards wealth is admirable, what does he say to make money for? Isn't it just to achieve the ideal? In today's society, people who have no money want to make money to achieve their ideals, but when they have money, they only want to make more money, completely forgetting their initial ideals. And Liang Xiaolong now chose to break the kettle without hesitation in the face of wealth and ideals, and invested all his funds in filming "The Police and the Thief" in one fell swoop.

"Xiaolong, as soon as you come forward, the publicity effect is really different." Mark called: "I sent someone out to investigate, and now many people are talking about you, and they are also looking forward to the release of "Tomb Robbery" and "Police and Thieves", why don't you find a time for you to meet a few more times?" Liang Xiaolong scolded with a smile: "It's not that you don't know that I'm so busy that I don't have time until the end of the shooting." Mark sighed: "It's a pity, but you can only blame the media themselves, if you hadn't offended you too hard a few days ago, would you be able to worry about the material?" ”

Liang Xiaolong smiled faintly and didn't say much, anyway, it was impossible for him to cater to the appetite of the media, and he was really too busy recently, with two shifts a day, more than ten hours on the set, and very little time to rest. However, in such a busy, time always flies very fast, October is quietly coming, although the Christmas schedule has not officially come, but the war of Christmas has been ignited, MGM's "GoldenEye" topped the list with a box office of 41 million as soon as it was released, but the second week was Warner's "The Undefeated Mystery of the New Batman" topped the list with a high box office of 52 million. Under such fierce competition, fans are even more excited, and the media is also cheering for "The Undefeated Mystery of the New Batman", claiming that it will be the first film to exceed 200 million at the local box office this year.

Liang Xiaolong disagreed, under normal circumstances, the film release cycle is 4-8 weeks, although the box office of 52 million in the first week is very high, but it decreases every week after that, especially in the fifth and sixth weeks, there is not much competitiveness in the box office list at all, so it is almost impossible for the box office of "The Undefeated Mystery of the New Batman" to break through the 200 million mark. What's more, it has been proven in the previous life that its box office is only close to 200 million!

And seeing the box office success of other companies' films, Mark couldn't help but want to harm Liang Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, can you squeeze in and lend Brandon and Rachel a few more days?" Liang Xiaolong scolded with a smile: "How far do you go, how far do you go, how many press conferences have you held in the past month and a half?" Aren't you afraid that fans won't be able to withstand your fatigue bombardment? Mark said: "I'm also in a hurry, look at the box office list, if we invest 100 million, why can't we lose to them at the box office, right?" Liang Xiaolong said angrily: "If it weren't for your intensive propaganda plan, I would have been able to finish here, and you are embarrassed to ask for someone again?" Tell you, no way. Mark said again: "I have done a good job in publicity here, and the box office is high, so you can make more money, right?" Let's be mutually beneficial! ”

"Mark, you can't be so shameless!" Liang Xiaolong is no longer in the mood to talk nonsense with this annihilator, just because of his intensive publicity plan, Lian Xiaolong had to rearrange the filming process, the venue was rented repeatedly, the scene was repeatedly arranged, and the waste cost was no less than three million US dollars, but this annihilator can still confidently say that it is mutually beneficial, isn't that angry? cut off the call, Liang Xiaolong began to command on the set again, and today is going to shoot a chase scene, there are many types of chase scenes, the most popular is the tail chase of the flying car, such as "Mission Impossible 2" directed by John Woo, Rob. Cohen's "Fast and Furious", but Bruce Leung doesn't have that much production budget and is not capable of directing such a film, and what he is shooting today is just a walking chase scene.

But Liang Xiaolong believes that as long as the kung fu is used deeply, even if he is chasing on foot, he can shoot the same visual effect as chasing the tail of a speeding car. Liang Xiaolong is more in the design of the action with the help of the sport of "parkour", parkour, also known as urban sprint, originated in France in the 80s, with climbing, crossing obstacles as the main performance items, very ornamental. Of course, if it is just like this, it can only give people a cool feeling, without the hot feeling of the chase scene, and it will not achieve the purpose of Liang Xiaolong to show Chinese kung fu.

Therefore, Liang Xiaolong made two corrections to this, first of all, it must be integrated into light work during the running process, and it must be chased while fighting; The second is to change the obstacles, not only fixed buildings, but also moving people, trolleys, cars, etc., giving people a feeling that accidents will occur at any time, so as to attract the attention of fans and stimulate the psychology of fans. Of course, it is also very difficult to shoot such a chase scene, Liang Xiaolong also specially invited a stuntman to be Brandon's stand-in, and he himself served as Wu Jing's stand-in and completed a small part of the action for Wu Jing.

"Remember, don't do anything out of the ordinary." Before filming started, Rachel ran over and threatened, she really couldn't rest assured about her little man, for fear that he would temporarily revolt and suddenly make a scary move. Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "I promise!" Chartered mother! Rachel smiled, "That's good, charter man!" The two of them were talking sweetly, but Carl ran to the set in a panic, and couldn't help but be curious, you must know that this master usually only sits in the company, so he has time to come to the set to relax: "Xiaolong, things are a little wrong, there is a problem with the distribution of the film." ”

Liang Xiaolong was stunned: "Carl, you're not kidding, are you?" When you first acquired Michael Moon, you said that you valued Michael Moon's distribution ability, and now that the film is about to be completed, you actually told me that there was a distribution problem? ”

ps: It will start to break out tomorrow, friends recommend it first, and with the support of collections, thank you for the bones!
