Chapter 30: The police start filming

Liang Xiaolong almost didn't choke, how did he choose you? Could it be that I came through time, I knew that you could fight, and I would be popular in the future. However, this will look at Wu Jing's serious appearance, Liang Xiaolong knows that if he can't give him a satisfactory answer, this matter is estimated to be Huang: "The drama I newly invested in needs to use a lot of our Chinese weapons, so I want to find a martial arts champion, and it just so happens that you have a good appearance, so I chose you." Wu Jing grinned: "My mother is right, being handsome is good." "Liang Xiaolong is almost upside down, he hasn't gone to Hollywood yet, why did he get the surname of a Hollywood star narcissism?

Liang Xiaolong stayed in Yanjing for two days, activated special conditions to help Wu Jing get a visa, and Wu Jing also went home, said goodbye to his relatives, and flew directly to the United States. When he first arrived in the United States, Wu Jing was very unaccustomed to the language barrier and could not communicate with people normally, but the company had hired a translator for him - Li Lei, during this time he would eat and live with Wu Jing, and by the way, he would act as Wu Jing's foreign language teacher. And Liang Xiaolong doesn't have many requirements for Wu Jing, as long as the lip shape can be right when acting, and then find someone else to dub it later.

So now the crew is still missing Jessica, originally Liang Xiaolong had already made an appointment with them to meet, but because of the delay of returning to China for a few more days, he didn't meet until this meeting. As imagined, brown skin, dark brown eyeballs, and a stunner in the world, but because he was only fifteen years old, the devilish body that made the animals crazy in his previous life had not yet developed.

"Hello Mr. Liang, it's a pleasure to meet you." It was Jessica's agent, Sarah Fuller, who was also a good friend of Jessica's mother, who signed with her when she was very young. Liang Xiaolong smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, because it didn't go well to find an actor back to China, so it was delayed for a few days." Sarah smiled faintly: "It's okay, we've already read the script, and it's a good thing for Jessica to be on the same stage with Julia, so I basically don't object." Liang Xiaolong said: "Yes, the cooperation is pleasant, then let's talk about the salary." Liang Xiaolong gave a price of 500,000 US dollars, in fact, this price has exceeded Jessica's current worth, but Liang Xiaolong didn't want to worry about money, Wu Jing and Kayla also took this price. Brandon also only needs one million, which is purely a friendship price, if he waits for the release of "Tomb Robbery", his worth will definitely rise to sixty or seventy million.

After twists and turns, the company has it, the actors have it, and the crew has finally been formed, but Liang Xiaolong didn't start filming immediately, but a three-day training camp with six main actors. This is also no way, except for Wu Jing, the other five people have no skills, especially Jessica, who only came to report today, and can't start filming immediately. For this reason, Liang Xiaolong specially rented a large dance rehearsal hall and brought eighteen kinds of weapons: "Funny and fighting are the two biggest points in our play, and many weapons are used, so everyone has to be familiar with the special surnames of weapons these days." ”

"Brandon, you have a total of five fights, the first two are empty-handed, and the last three are short sticks, long sticks, and double knives." Liang Xiaolong is very particular in the choice of weapons, because Brandon has not really learned martial arts, if he is allowed to use swords and guns, he will not be able to show the charm of weapons at all, so try to choose weapons that are simple to use and can be used beautifully. Wu Jing is different, as a national martial arts champion, many weapons can be easily used, so try to choose difficult ones with beautiful tricks, such as crutches, spears, and swords.

Fighting is everyone's share, and Rachel and Julia mostly use clever cold weapons when fighting, such as the first fight is with two knives against double hooks. Kayla and Jessica have relatively few scenes, but they are more funny, and they borrow more props to trick each other, which also reduces the difficulty of filming.

The crew rehearsed hard, and the box office of the fourth week of "Never Compromise" also came out, with a local box office of 26.36 million, and an overseas box office of 35.4 million, with a total box office of 197 million. After 24 days of release and a box office of 197 million, the media had to continue to marvel, and at this time, Carl continued to create scandals, and released the photos of Julia, Rachel, Jessica and Kayla to the newspaper, and the next day these three, one small and four beauties appeared in the newspaper: I don't know if Liang Xiaolong is going to make a movie or a draft, the actress chooses the best one, it is Kayla who is 12. Knightley also has a standard beauty embryo. But it is undeniable that these three big and one small and four beauties alone are worth a movie ticket. And according to insiders, these four beauties will use various weapons to show the audience a battle between women.

Such news stimulated the people again, and the cattle were even more reverie, how will the battle between the beauties be carried out? In bed, under the bed, or in the wild? And after seeing this report, many animals have already expressed their attitude that when the film is released, they must go to the cinema.

Liang Xiaolong acquired the company's self-directed new film, Julia and Liang Xiaolong had an abnormal relationship to join for free, and the four beauties fought against each other, three consecutive hypes, Yan Huang Company already has a certain popularity, and after the film is released, the first round of box office is guaranteed. As for whether the box office can continue to rise, it depends on the quality of the film and whether it can create a good reputation. Karl was very satisfied with his methods, and ran to the rehearsal hall with the newspaper to ask for credit, but the three, one small and four beauties had already been annoyed by him, and they would each surround him with weapons, and they didn't speak, just stared coldly.

Carl was furious in his heart, this will make him finally know that he is stupid, the owner is here, he was stupid and automatically sent to the door, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, these four beauties can tear him down: "Four beauties, I was wrong, I am guilty, I shouldn't talk about you, for the sake of me, you can spare me." Julia waved the double hook in her hand: "In other words, if the apology is useful, what do you want the law to do?" Rachel agreed: "If it's wrong, it should be punished." Jessica said, "Do you want to cut off your hand or your foot?" Kayla grinned, "It's not good if it's too violent, why don't we get something affordable?" ”

Carl nodded hurriedly: "Yes, if you beauties have any requirements, just mention it, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I won't frown." Kayla hurriedly said, "Great, I'm hungry alone, why don't you go get something to eat?" Rachel said: "It doesn't have to be too good, four people can serve forty dishes, remember to combine Chinese and Western." Karl looked bitter, but he could only admit it: "Okay, a combination of Chinese and Western, I'll go right away." ”

8.25, "The Police and the Thief" finally started, the first location has three scenes, the thief and the thief fight the theft technology on the street, the probe and the tanhua catch gangsters on the street, and the thief inadvertently steals the probe and triggers a battle. These three scenes can be called the only big scenes in the whole play, because the road needs pedestrians, so 200 leading actors are invited, and they have to pay 30,000 US dollars a day for food and salary. In addition, renting space, store subsidies, and film 、、、 costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. Fortunately, there are not many such big scenes, otherwise the budget of 15 million is simply not enough.

The stylist was styling Wu Jing and Julia, and Liang Xiaolong was chattering: "The hair in front of me is a little lower, you must make this kid cooler, although it is said that being a thief must be ordinary to be popular, but we are making a movie, so we have to create a cool thief." The stylist looked at him amusedly: "Alright, my director, I promise not to disappoint you." Liang Xiaolong also found that he was a little verbose, but this was the first time he was a director, and he was very nervous, for fear that something would go wrong and affect the shooting.

"Wu Jing, it's the first time you're on camera, aren't you nervous?" Liang Xiaolong was a little puzzled, this guy looked calm, as if he didn't know what nervousness was. Wu Jing smiled faintly and gave the most reasonable explanation: "I have participated in so many competitions, and I have to face tens of thousands of spectators every time, and I have long forgotten what it means to be nervous." Liang Xiaolong was even more puzzled, and finally attributed this to his own self-cultivation and family cultivation.

With all the departments ready and the actors in place, Liang Xiaolong asked again: "Have you memorized the lines?" Julia rolled her eyes: "Please, I'll memorize the whole script." Wu Jing also nodded and said, "Although I have just learned English, I have memorized all the lines in the script." Liang Xiaolong nodded to get them ready, and then shouted to start. Julia and Wu Jing began to look at each other, and Julia said, "See you at the end of the street in half an hour." Wu Jing said: "I will definitely win." ”

"Stop." Although this scene is very simple, Wu Jing is acting for the first time after all, and his style is obviously influenced by Hong Kong films. For Hong Kong movies in the 90s, Hollywood filmmakers have another comment, all are crazy and too much, that is, Hong Kong film performances are too strong, while Hollywood movies are more life-oriented, natural, and realistic: "Wu Jing, your expression should be casual when you talk to each other, as if you usually greet people." Julia also reminded: "Don't think you're performing, just think of yourself as a thief." ”

Wu Jing thought for a while, then nodded, and this guy does have a talent for acting, and the second time it was very natural and smooth, and he passed smoothly. After this set of shots, it is the scene where they show their stealing skills, these scenes are all moved by Bruce Leung from the movies of his previous life, there may not be anything new in the previous life, but in 95 he definitely stole the innovation of the movie. One of the most exaggerated actions is to quickly plant the other party's earrings and necklaces without attracting the other party's attention when passing by, which is a miraculous skill.

Although the action is exciting, the shooting process is extremely cumbersome, and it must be done in slow motion and shot with fast shots, so as to achieve normal results. And actors often miss, especially in the scene where Julia cuts the other party's back pocket with a blade and takes away the wallet, she makes mistakes again and again, and she can't finish cutting more than a dozen pairs of pants, and the last time is even more laughable, because she didn't grasp the distance, since she scratched someone's butt with a blade: "Sister Big Mouth, fortunately, I cut the back pocket, if I cut the front one, I might cut off my grandchildren." ”

ps: After the exam, I inquired, I was so happy, I finally hung up, and I will take the make-up exam next semester. I'm a cow, if someone else takes the exam once, I take the exam twice, so I have to waste the money that the school prints the exam papers!
