Chapter 7: A Call from Home
Chapter 7: A Call from Home
As an action director, you must not only be able to fully understand the intent of the action in the film, but also have the ability to know the actor's ability to complete the action. And the actions in the script are all designed by Liang Xiaolong himself, so there is naturally no problem in understanding the intention of the action, but how can you prove that you can know that the actor has completed it? Liang Xiaolong's choice is very simple, fight a game and demonstrate various actions. Of course, Mark only thought it was a farce, but in order to dispel Liang Xiaolong's intention to serve as the action director, he still let his four bodyguards go out in person to teach this little man from the east a lesson and let him know why the sun is so bright.
"Xiaolong, I think it's better to forget it." Julia was also worried, she knew that Mark's four bodyguards were all retired special forces, and one could fight several, and Liang Xiaolong's thin body was estimated to be settled.
"Sister Big Mouth, do you think I look like someone who has nothing to do to beat? Don't worry, I'll settle them. "Liang Xiaolong seems very casual, because he has the cultivation experience of his previous life, so Liang Xiaolong quickly re-cultivated the inner family true qi, although this inner family true qi is still weak, but combined with the actual combat experience of the previous life, Liang Xiaolong is still confident to put down the four bodyguards who look very strong.
In the underground parking lot, there were only seven people, Liang Xiaolong, Julia, Mark and his four bodyguards. The four bodyguards looked at Liang Xiaolong's eyes with extremely unfriendly eyes: "Damn little man, he wants to challenge the four of us at the same time, and he must be beaten all over the ground to find teeth." ”
"Man, you're on." A white bodyguard pushed the black bodyguard next to him, and the black bodyguard immediately stopped: "I don't like to bully small people, so let's go up." The white bodyguard cleverly came up with a solution: "We voted in favor of the light raise of hands on the Biya. ”
"It's not fair." As soon as the black bodyguard retorted, the white bodyguard immediately said: "This is very fair, if you don't vote again, please raise your hand if you don't agree with Biya." You see, no one raises their hand, so you go. After speaking, he didn't forget to push Biya: "Man, I'm optimistic about you and beat him flat." ”
"Man, you should be glad to be the first to come forward, because if they beat you up too badly, they won't dare to play." Liang Xiaolong casually made a gesture and hooked his finger at Biya: "Let's start." ”
"Little man, you're too arrogant." Liang Xiaolong's nonchalant attitude angered Bia, and the black man rushed over quickly, and it was a heavy punch to Liang Xiaolong's head. Liang Xiaolong's head was slightly sideways, dodging this heavy punch, but Biya also reacted extremely quickly, almost at the same time to make a high whip leg, he was also confident that this whip leg would definitely make Liang Xiaolong fall to the ground. But he only heard the word too slow in his ears, and then his left leg was grabbed by Xiaolong, and Liang Xiaolong pushed again, and Biya lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"You four go up together, one-on-one, it's not interesting." Liang Xiaolong hooked his hand at the other three bodyguards: "Don't really think that you can fight if you are big, it's just a piece of cake to bring you down." ”
"Arrogant little man, you're going to pay the price." The three bodyguards were also enraged by Wuwei's contemptuous attitude, and they attacked from four directions at the same time, but Liang Xiaolong still looked careless, and unleashed his Baji Fist, extending his fists and legs in all directions.
"Wow, that's amazing." Mark and Julia were dumbfounded, they never thought that the battle could be so exciting. Looking at his nimble jumps, fierce fists, and sharp legs, this is simply not a fight, but a kind of crazy dance, which can not only impact people's vision, but also shock people's hearts: "This kind of fight can no longer be called violence, but a kind of art." ”
"It's time to finish." Liang Xiaolong has finished performing the performance, and if he continues, it will give people the feeling of painting a snake.
With four bangs, the four former special forces soldiers fell to the ground almost at the same time, and Liang Xiaolong politely clasped his fists at them and saluted: "Admit it." ”
"Wow, little dragon, you're amazing." Julia ran over completely regardless of her image, hugged Liang Xiaolong and kissed her, which was not emotional, and it was the Americans' reward for the brave. However, Liang Xiaolong was very unaccustomed to it, and said with a bitter face: "Sister Big Mouth, do you want me to commit a crime?" Of course, this also caused Julia to shudder: "You kid is too impure in thought. ”
"Who made Sister Big Mouth so beautiful?" Liang Xiaolong didn't hurry to send a sycophant, turned around and asked Mark, "Mr. Zoladi, do you think I can be the action director?" ”
"Oh, of course, there's no one better suited than you." Mark was shocked by Liang Xiaolong, as long as Liang Xiaolong's fighting style can be put on the screen, it is impossible to fail at the box office: "Also, don't call me Mr. Zoladi, it will make me feel very old, just call me Mark." Come with me to the company and talk about the script in detail. Back at the company, Mark didn't delay: "In addition to the conditions that Julia said, I will pay you a salary of one million dollars to hire you as the action director of the film." But I have one condition, I want the pre-emptive right to buy the sequel to "Tomb Robbery". ”
Liang Xiaolong has no opinion on this, because the box office of the second episode of the blockbuster is mostly based on the first episode, if Liang Xiaolong sells the script to other companies in the future, it is equivalent to Disney promoting other companies, and letting people take advantage of it in vain. Of course, in terms of price, Liang Xiaolong still insisted on his own point of view: "Similarly, the global box office is over 300 million, and I will take a 500% commission for the excess." ”
"That's perfectly fine, and I'd love to let you earn a little more." Mark smiled slightly, the more Liang Xiaolong raked, didn't it mean that he earned more? "What about the directors and actors? If you have any comments that you can put forward, although I may not necessarily adopt them, they can be used as a reference. ”
Because the original release time of these two films is about the same as now, there is no need to worry that the protagonist has not grown up like "Pirates of the Caribbean", so Liang Xiaolong is still ready to go to the original team as much as possible: "The director of "The Sun is Like Me". Sander, protagonist Matt Damon, psychiatrist Robin Williams; "Tomb Robbery" director Stephen. Sommos, actor Brandon. Fraser, actress Rachel. Weisz, I don't have anything else to suggest. ”
"Oh, sir, you've got a lot to offer." Mark laughed: "But I will contact them as soon as possible, start filming as soon as possible, and release it as soon as possible." ”
"Carl, congratulations, my script is sold." Liang Xiaolong rushed into the dormitory like a knight returning triumphantly, and Carl also warmly congratulated him, and then asked, "Which production company did you sell it to?" How much does it cost? ”
"Your buddy, I'm going to be a multimillionaire soon." Liang Xiaolong explained the conditions with a smile, but in exchange for Karl's roll of eyes and complaints: "Xiaolong, are you stupid?" "Tomb Robbery" is reasonable, but the production cost of "The Sun is Like Me" is only 10 million US dollars, can the box office of such a small investment film exceed 100 million? I think you're giving the script to Disney for nothing. ”
"Man, you have to believe me, the global box office of "The Sun Like Me" will exceed 200 million, and Disney will have to give me 10 million dollars." Liang Xiaolong cheered: "This taste of making money quickly is so wonderful, and after Christmas, I will be able to buy a mansion outside." ”
"Man, can you wait until it gets dark before you dream?" Carl didn't come back in time, but he just looked at Liang Xiaolong's script from the eyes of ordinary people, and naturally he didn't expect that "The Sun Like Me" would get a box office of 200 million US dollars.
After messing around with Carl for a while, Liang Xiaolong's mobile phone suddenly rang, and the number displayed was his mother Ye Ying. Liang Xiaolong couldn't help but be stunned, family was an issue he had been avoiding all avoidance, after all, the couple was too strange to him, he hadn't even met in person, how could he shout the words "parents"?
"But I occupy this body after all." Liang Xiaolong sighed secretly, no matter what, he had become the son of that couple, and their blood also flowed in his body, and he still had to fulfill his filial piety. Also, Liang Xiaolong can imagine the heartbroken appearance of his parents in his previous life when he learned of his death, and this kind of tragedy should not be repeated in this era. Thinking of this, Liang Xiaolong decisively pressed the answer button: "Mom, I miss you so much." ”
"If you don't want me to call me, you've been hurting you for so many years." Ye Ying said angrily: "May Day is coming, do you want to come back?" Liang Xiaolong knew that the former owner of the body would return to China to accompany his parents every long holiday: "Mom, I don't think I can go back this May Day, I have already found a job here, and I will accumulate more experience while I am young." ”
"Sooner or later, you'll have to take over the family's business, so it's good to accumulate some more experience." Ye Ying naturally has nothing to object to his son's progress. But Liang Xiaolong was a little awkward, he knew that the reason why his parents sent him to study abroad was to better take over the family's industry, but now that he wants to devote himself to the film industry, if he lets his family know about it in the future, he will definitely be disappointed. Therefore, Liang Xiaolong felt that it was better to confess this matter, lest the greater the parents' hopes, the greater the disappointment in the future: "Mom, can I discuss something with you?" ”
"Baby son, when did you learn to be polite to your mother?" Ye Ying smiled slightly: "Are you looking for a girlfriend?" Not enough cash? ”
"Your son is so handsome, there is no need to fall in love so early, let's wait a few more years, the old cow will eat tender grass to be more flavorful." If this sentence is said to ordinary Chinese parents, it will definitely be exchanged for a scolding, but Ye Ying and her baby son are like friends, and they can talk about everything: "Then you should find the two of them as soon as you look for them, and take up all the royal sister and Lori, hehe." Okay baby son, let's get down to business, what's going on? ”
"Mom, I want to drop out." Before Liang Xiaolong could explain clearly, Ye Ying couldn't help it: "Son, is there something that can't be solved over there?" Tell Mom, Mom will help you solve it. ”
"No, Mom, listen to me first." Bruce Leung recounted the sale of his script to Disney: "Now that I have received an upfront payment of one million US dollars, after the film is released, I should still have more than 10 million US dollars." ”
"When are you going to write the script?" Ye Ying couldn't react a little, she couldn't be more clear about her son, she had a very good business concept, but her artistic cells didn't dare to be complimented. It's good now, not only can I write a script, but also write a sky-high script: "But I don't dare to call the shots in this matter, otherwise it's strange if your father doesn't get angry at me." I'll talk to your dad for a while, and you wait for me to call. ”
