Chapter 176: Liang Xiǎo Dragon's horror film

"Happiness Terminal" was sluggish at the box office in the United States, and when it was released overseas in the second week, it won $9.2 million on the first day, and the situation can be described as good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In comparison, the crew of "Million Dollar Baby" was a little unlucky, entering the Shunan Bamboo Sea, the machine had just been set up, and suddenly it rained heavily, and finally everyone turned into a soup and returned to the hotel.

"This breaks the Meteorological Bureau, and the local prediction ability is too poor." Liang Xiǎo Long scolded indignantly, just delaying it for one day, the expenses will be tens of thousands of dollars more, as long as it is not a director who burns too much money in a panic, he will pay attention to the daily weather forecast. He was no exception, but who would have thought that it would rain in the end.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a hot shower and change into clean clothes." Liang Xiǎo Long shouted uneasily, don't catch a cold because of this rain, otherwise the filming work will have to be delayed. Liang Xiǎo Long also instructed the manager of the hotel to eat some Ji soup, and send some to each room in a while, and take care of your health.

"It's a pity, I still want to take advantage of the shooting gap to walk through the bamboo sea." Hillary Clinton regretted that this was her first time in China, but after three weeks in the service room, she already had some understanding of China and was eager to travel to China.

"When the shooting is over, I will take two days off, and then everyone can relax and visit Zhuhai." Liang Xiǎo Long said with a smile, and took the opportunity to promote Zhuhai's tourism culture and food culture to everyone: "In the evening, I asked the hotel to have a table of special dishes, and everyone had a good gathering. ”

At night, looking at the empty dàngdàng room, Liang Xiǎo Long was very unaccustomed to living alone. Out of boredom, he turned on his computer and continued to write the script, which was also a blockbuster script for Julia. Shooting a blockbuster is definitely a new attempt for Juilliard, so Liang Xiǎo Long is also particularly cautious in the choice of scripts, not wanting to affect Juilliard's future career because of a blockbuster.

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Liang Xiǎo Long finally chose "Smith Fu", with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, it is a spy shootout blockbuster, not just a visual victory, and the plot is also very colorful, which is very suitable for Julia. However, there is also a point, that is, the performance of athletic ability, Julia may have to train for a while before she can take office. Moreover, Liang Xiǎo Long estimated the production time, and now he will start writing the script, and then make up the shooting, and finally start filming, finishing, and post-production, and it is estimated that it will not be released until next year.

However, Liang Xiǎo Long is not in a hurry, anyway, the company has bought a lot of scripts from the screenwriters' union and script agencies this year, and several have been filmed, and the number of films produced is definitely higher than last year.

The next day, the sky finally cleared, and the crew came to the jade corridor in the bamboo sea again, Wadme put on Tom and Hillary makeup, and the machines had been set up, Liang Xiǎo Long asked: "Tom, Hillary, do you remember the lines?" Both nodded their heads, indicating that there was no problem. Liang Xiǎo Long said: "Then take your seat." ”

From the first shot, Tom and Hillary are very well integrated through the requirements of the film, and their dialogue does not have the slightest drama, it feels like a simple conversation between two ordinary people, which is very real.

After several sets of shots were completed, the next step was to shoot the footage of Hillary practicing martial arts, and Danny also took Bill's place, taking the camera, and his ability to capture martial arts footage was still stronger than him. The prop master tied a rope to the top of the bamboo, and at the beginning of the shooting, he would pull his body as needed to bend the bamboo, otherwise he would really let Hillary beat the bamboo, and she would not have to break her hands.

Liang Xiǎo Long is the director, but he is also the action director, and he is also explaining the movements to Hillary, making a few gestures: "Remember, when the fist goes out, the speed must be fast, but when it comes into contact with the bamboo, you must contain the strength, otherwise you will hurt your hand." Hillary also learned to make a few gestures: "Captain, don't worry, I'll control myself." Liang Xiǎo Long said again: "If you punch out, the rope will be pulled over there, followed by the bamboo will bounce back, pay attention to the distance, and then stop." ”

After speaking, Liang Xiǎo Long ran to talk to the drama who pulled the rope and said: "According to the setting, the strength of Xiǎo at the beginning, so hit the bamboo, the bend will not be too much, and you should not pull too hard." ”

"Alright, let's go" Liang Xiǎo Long shouted, and Hillary slashed a hand knife at the pillar, followed by a punch, and the drama agent immediately pulled the rope, and the bamboo bent, and then bounced back, hitting Hillary's fist again.

"Ouch" Hillary screamed, performing the pain on the hands of ordinary people just right, and this scene was successfully completed. However, Liang Xiǎo Long shook his head, the camera was finished, but he could be sure that Hillary's punch just now hit the bamboo, and it did not withdraw its strength, but a real punch. But what he admires even more is that Hillary can endure the pain to complete the whole shot, such a dedicated Jing God can definitely only be described in two words in Hollywood, and it is no wonder that she was able to win two Oscars in her previous life.

"Xiǎo heart, there are dozens of shots of hitting bamboo, if you don't collect your strength every time, your hands will be swollen." Liang Xiǎo Long persuaded, and Hillary also nodded: "I was too excited just now to notice." "Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but roll his eyes, can he be excited to hit bamboo? It's too deep into the play, right?

But in the next shot, Liang Xiǎo Long was even more speechless, although Hillary also learned to control the force, but every blow was real, just didn't use all her strength. Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but shake his head: "You are really the same as the MV protagonist of the film, every time you ask you to collect your strength, you say it's good, but every time you still do it in your own way." Hillary smiled stupidly and didn't speak, Liang Xiǎo Long shook his head again and called the crew doctor over: "I feel like I use Zhenggu water to massage with her, otherwise my hand will definitely be swollen like a pig's trotter tomorrow." ”

There are a lot of shots in the Emerald Corridor, and it took two days to shoot before it was over, and then a helicopter was brought in, and Bill Cào controlled the camera to capture a lot of shots from above, and these shots will also be integrated into the film in post-production, striving to achieve visual perfection. The shot of the Jade Promenade was completed, and the crew immediately turned to the colorful waterfall, this scene requires Hillary to stand under the waterfall, of course, it is only the corner of the waterfall, the place where the water flow is weak, otherwise even Liang Xiǎo Dragon will not be able to stand firm, and will be directly washed into the waterhole by the powerful water force.

Liang Xiǎo Long asked the drama to take a body and tie it around Hillary's waist, and this rope really played a role, Hillary was washed by the water when she was out of Tui, and her feet suddenly slipped and almost fell into the pool, but she also lost this rope to pull, otherwise no one knows what would have happened. But despite this, Hillary's xiǎotui and arms are also bruised by rocks. Liang Xiǎo Long hurriedly asked the accompanying doctor to treat her wounds: "Let's stop here today, rest for two days and then continue shooting." But who would have thought that Hillary would stand up tenaciously: "Captain, don't waste time, this little injury won't affect my movements." ”

Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was the first time he had met such a tenacious and dedicated NV actor: "Hillary, in fact, the filming is going faster than I expected, there is no need to work so hard. But Hillary still insisted: "Director, I just want the film to be released as soon as possible." Liang Xiǎo Long smiled bitterly: "If every actor is as dedicated as you, then Hollywood directors can breathe a sigh of relief." Okay, keep shooting, but remember, protect yourself, if there's anything wrong, you can stop it right away, I won't force it. ”

Clinton's dedication to Jing is admirable, which also greatly improves the shooting speed of the film, and in five days, all the shots in Shunan Zhuhai were completed. Liang Xiǎo Long also kept his promise and gave the crew two days off, and then invited a few local tour guides to take the crew to visit the Shunan Bamboo Sea. The beautiful scenery also made the crew unanimously believe that it was worth the trip.

The footage of Shunan Zhuhai was completed, and the crew immediately drove to Wudang Mountain, relatively speaking, there are more shots of Wudang Mountain, there are two main aspects, one is physical fitness, and the other is driving wooden stakes. In terms of physical fitness, running is the main focus, but the running environment is a rugged mountain road, and a lot of kung fu movements are integrated in the middle, which is a bit similar to parkour.

"I know, this is the filming location of the scene in "Terracotta Warriors" against the demon dragon." There are many beautiful scenery in Wudang Mountain, and as soon as Hillary came here, she began to look for the filming location in the lens of "Terracotta Warriors".

"That's right, "Terracotta Warriors" has a lot of scenes in Wudang Mountain, and many beautiful scenery are used, now everyone can go shopping everywhere, and when filming starts tomorrow, there will be no time." Liang Xiǎo Long greeted him, and he went to the Wudang Hall to burn incense and ask the crew for safety. Of course, this is not a letter of mi, just a peace of mind, and it is also a respect for Taoist culture, after all, he practices Taoist inner boxing.

At nightfall, Liang Xiǎo Long continued to write the script, and the script for "Smith Fu Fu" was completed, but the company still had to shoot more films, and Liang Xiǎo Long also had to write as many as possible. Of course, the main reason is that it's too boring, none of the three NV people are around, and when it gets night, there is nothing else to do except write the script.

For the new screenplay, Liang Xiǎo Long chose a horror film, to be precise, a comedy horror film. Horror films have always had nothing to do with him, and before the Oscars, the media also said that Liang Xiǎo Long has always been a blank in horror films, so he is ready to write a horror film to make up for the gap in this regard. Even, I'm going to find a time to shoot a horror film and tell everyone: I, Liang Xiǎo Long, can shoot any kind of film.

The name of the new script is "Screaming", the production is relatively simple, the investment is not large, if you don't use big-name stars, 20 million dollars is enough. If you use big-name stars, it is possible to spend six or seven million dollars to get in. However, this is not within the scope of Liang Xiǎo Long, he only needs to write the script, and then Jiāo gives it to Carl, and he will find the right actor.

As soon as the "headache" started, Hillary covered her forehead, not because she was sick, but because she was stumped by the wooden stake. Driving wooden piles is by no means simple, and it is necessary to perfectly integrate the attack techniques, tui method, and footwork in order to use them freely and achieve the best exercise effect. Hillary has also exercised in the main hall of the Kung Fu Martial Arts Gym, but the wooden stake is by no means a day or two can be passed, and the most common situation she has now is to hit the wooden stake, but she was also beaten by the wooden stake.

"Take your time." Liang Xiǎo Long has hardly put pressure on the actors, and it is even more impossible to put pressure on a dedicated actor like Hillary: "This set of shots can be spliced, let's play slowly, just collect more shots." ”

"I'll try my best." Hillary has always been very strict with herself, but for anything outside of this ability, she can only say that she has done her best. But she is really uncomfortable, xiǎo arms, waist, and tui have been counterattacked by wooden stakes, and there are a lot of injuries, fortunately, it is not serious, otherwise Liang Xiǎo Long would have to consider whether to withdraw this set of shots.

completed the shot of the wooden stake, as well as parkour, in this aspect, if you can do it yourself, Hillary will never need to improve. However, there are several difficult movements, so you can only use stuntmen, all of whom are selected from the actors' union, and they may not be able to fight, but they are all very flexible, and they can run, jump and complete difficult movements.

After another week on Wudang Mountain, the crew returned to the United States, and the rest of the scenes had to be completed in the martial arts hall, part in the hospital, and others, such as the fighting scenes, had to be completed in the studio of Weta Digital Studio, and those scenes were all simulated, and finally realized with digital special effects to form the most perfect shot.

Back in the United States, Danny also missed his wife and son, and wanted to go back, Liang Xiǎo Long also followed, and he had to discuss the new play with her: "First of all, I can't say I'm not satisfied, otherwise I'll turn around and leave." Liang Xiǎo Long is very afraid of this problem, Hollywood has produced countless films, but blockbusters, especially successful blockbusters, are still relatively limited, and the options that are suitable for Julia are even more limited, and he doesn't want to write four or five scripts in a row because of this.

Julia blinked, and then teased Xiǎo Xia Su in her arms, just like the scene in "Never Compromise" teasing NV to blackmail the boss: "You can't say you're dissatisfied, but if you're really dissatisfied?" xiǎo baby, what do you say? Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but laugh and cry: "As long as you don't smash the act, the box office is guaranteed to exceed 500 million, breaking the record of your personal film, this answer is satisfactory, right?" Julia pouted: "I thought you would say that it was the same as "My Leader, My Group", and the box office exceeded one billion dollars." Liang Xiǎo Long Meng rolled his eyes: "The box office of "My Leader, My Group" exceeded one billion, and I was surprised. You better read the script first, if you think it's okay, I'll let Carl start filming right away, and strive to release it early next year. ”

Julia let Liang Xiǎo Long hold Xiǎo Xia Su, and then began to look through the script, and when she saw the name "Smith Fu", Julia frowned first: "Why is it related to the word husband and wife?" Liang Xiǎo Long suddenly felt like crying: "Sister, there is no emotional scene in that film now?" It's not a couple, it's a male NV friend, that's not a problem, right? ”

"Smith Fu" tells the story of John. Smith and Jane. Smith is an enviable couple who have lived a quiet life since they met in Colombia 5 or 6 years ago. But life may be too peaceful, and both of them feel that marriage is almost like a grave, so that even a marriage psychologist can't solve the gap between them.

However, it didn't take long for Smith Fu to discover new feelings in life. The two were unexpectedly attacked by killers frequently, and both of them saved the day in a thrilling way, it turned out that they respected each other and never knew each other's work secrets - Fu Fu and Fu are both legendary Xing killers, well-trained and skilled in killing, and the key is that they also carry out missions for the two rival organizations.

This perfect spy couple has recently been thrilling because they received the latest mission at the same time - assassinating each other, and their pride and work ethic have escalated the assassination operation. After a series of "unexpected" events, Smith Fu understands that he has been targeted for assassination, and the person he loves deeply is the opponent this time. How will they desperately kill their targets, who are equal and deeply in love?

In the process of tracking down the culprit of sabotage their actions, the couple gradually began to suspect each other. It wasn't until the wife unintentionally gave her agile skills to her fellow expert killer husband during dinner, that the two-storey villa where the couple had lived together for seven years immediately became a murder battlefield. However, after years of marital friendship and a strong match, Smith Fu finally chose to lay down his arms. However, the group of Smith Fuori was unwilling to let them go, and in order to escape the pursuit of the killers sent by their respective owners, the two top killers joined forces to complete the so-called tasks given to them by the organization, so that the organization would no longer hunt them down.

But when they completed the task, they found out that it was a conspiracy. It turned out that the ultimate goal of this mission was themselves. The two companies believed that the relationship between the two would be detrimental to the two companies, so the two companies joined forces to organize the mission, hoping that the two would kill each other.

Already surrounded in a xiǎo supermarket when they know the truth, in the end, they will have to make a choice between mission and love.

"The story is very suspenseful, with a hint of light comedy, which is really interesting." Overall, Julia is quite satisfied with the script.

"That's good." Liang Xiǎo Long also breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of now was that Julia Ji picked bones in the egg, and picked out a lot of máo diseases without máo disease, and then went back to rewrite the script.

"But it's a little bad......" Julia suddenly frowned again, which made Liang Xiǎolong's heart entangled: "Sister Big Mouth, it's not so neat, let me tell you, this script is very perfect, and it will definitely make a blockbuster film." ”

"I didn't say there was a problem with the script, I just thought that if I wanted to shoot this film, I had to train hard for a while." Julia laughed.

"You said it earlier." Liang Xiǎo Long rolled his eyes, patted his ass and left, after all, Danny had also been busy outside for two weeks, and now he wanted to spend time with his wife and children, he didn't want to be a nasty light bulb. Moreover, he still has to go to the company, finalize the two scripts, and strive to start filming as soon as possible.
