Chapter 140: Thrilling Stunts
Before the filming of "Baby Project" started, "Youth Musical" was officially released, and the attraction of "3D + Finale" was extraordinary, and Lin Mingyang finally got two movie tickets on the day of the premiere, and they were couples. Lin Mingyang was about to invite Kate to watch it together, but Kate's expression when she saw him take out the movie ticket was very strange, not the surprise that Lin Mingyang imagined, but a faint displeasure.
"You let me stay with you and watch you make out with other girls in the movies?"
There was a faint mist in Kate's eyes, and she looked very wronged. Seeing her reaction, Lin Mingyang realized that he had made a very serious mistake just now, he tore the two movie tickets in half in front of Kate, and then threw them in the trash.
"What are you doing?" Kate looked at Lin Mingyang in surprise, she occasionally has a little bit of a little woman's temper, but she is not the kind of woman who doesn't know the general situation. Lin Mingyang did this, which made her happy and guilty. "I just don't want to go, and I didn't say I wouldn't let you go?"
Lin Mingyang took Kate into his arms and kissed her forehead gently, "I don't have the habit of sitting in the movie theater and appreciating myself, I just want to stay with you when I go to the movies." This time it was my negligence that didn't take into account your feelings, so I willingly accept the punishment! ”
With their eyes facing each other and their eyebrows touching each other, Kate also hugged Lin Mingyang's neck, her eyes blinked playfully, and her beautiful eyelashes had a unique beauty, which made people feel the urge to kiss. And her voice, with a kind of ethereal charm, tugged at Lin Mingyang's heartstrings.
"Do you really promise anything?"
Lin Mingyang nodded very seriously. Fate not only made him inexplicably travel to this time and space, but also sent a different Kate to him, and Lin Mingyang had no reason not to cherish it.
"Then you promise me not to try those dangerous moves in the future shooting...... I've been watching you train for the past few days, and I'm really worried! Lin Mingyang had already followed Kate's hair and hooked his head to the back of her neck. Touched to a sensitive part, Kate's voice spoke with a slight but pleasant tremor.
Lin Mingyang's heart swelled with a warm touch, as long as it was Kate's request, he would not refuse.
---Lin Mingyang didn't go to the premiere of "Youth Musical" 3 in the end, and naturally he didn't see the lively scene at the entrance of the cinema. "Youth Musical" refreshed the highest box office record in North America on the first day of its release, and the first attendance rate of more than 1,000 theaters in North America reached more than 95%, which can be said to be popular, and the box office income of 80 million US dollars made everyone jaw-dropping, and the rest was only sighing.
In terms of the size of the release and the number of moviegoers, "Youth Musical" is actually not the highest, but the box office revenue of more than 200 IMAX theaters has contributed greatly to the record-breaking box office results. This authentic 3D movie makes the audience hooked after putting down their glasses. Originally, according to Disney's estimates, the popularity of "Youth Musical" 3 will fall back quickly after breaking through a peak, after all, the viewers of this film are only targeted at teenagers, and the ability to create box office is limited.
But in the end, they still underestimate the charm of 3D movies, and teenagers are a group of people who are particularly susceptible to curiosity. This has led to the fact that after the release of "Youth Musical" 3 for a week, the audience in ordinary theaters has dropped significantly, but IMAX theaters have ushered in a new round of movie-watching craze.
Although he missed the premiere, Lin Mingyang later paid out of his own pocket and invited Jackie Chan and all the members of the family class to watch the film collectively in the local IMAX theater. The light-hearted plot of the film makes the young people in the family class watch it with relish, but at Jackie Chan's age, he is not too interested in this kind of youth comedy, but 3D shooting has aroused his great interest.
However, he also knows that with the current technical level and investment scale of Hong Kong films, it is very difficult to shoot such films, and for real 3D films, Hong Kong films are still only envious. However, this viewing still planted a seed of 3D movies in Jackie Chan's heart, once the time is ripe, the mature and realistic technology of 3D movies coupled with his thrilling action performances will definitely bring a different visual shock to the audience.
- Although he has never been exposed to action movies, Brian Levant is an experienced director in comedy. The filming at the beginning of the film basically did not involve action performances, but some light-hearted and funny passages, and Brian Lewint can be said to be familiar with this aspect of the car.
The first action scene of the film appears in the scuffle between the police, the criminal gang and the tripartite forces of Jackie Chan and Lin Mingyang for the baby. This scene is filmed in two clues, Jackie Chan is dealing with the gang of criminals, and Lin Mingyang is confronting the police summoned by Kate.
In the film, Jackie Chan's home is an apartment in a high-rise building, with two elevators up and down. The criminal gang that is ready to snatch the baby from Jackie Chan has determined Jackie Chan's daily travel habits through tracking. Jackie Chan, as usual, took the baby out to learn the common sense of baby care, while Lin Mingyang took Kate to prepare to go to Jackie Chan's house for a "date".
After Jackie Chan went out with the baby, the police who received Kate's instructions ambushed him in front of his house, and the criminals laid an ambush outside the building. The elevators up and down made Lin Mingyang and Jackie Chan pass by. Lin Mingyang, who went upstairs, just opened the door, and was locked on the door by Kate in handcuffs with his backhand. The police lurking around rushed up, but there was no sign of the child in the room.
At the same time, Jackie Chan was besieged by a criminal gang after walking out of the building, and he showed his strength and successfully hid in a supermarket with the baby, but then the supermarket was surrounded by a criminal gang with loaded guns. At the critical moment, Jackie Chan called Lin Mingyang for help. He himself used containers to deal with gangsters in the supermarket.
When he received a call from Jackie Chan, Lin Mingyang had already been controlled by the police, and with more than a dozen guns pointed at his head together, Lin Mingyang had to answer the phone. The police learned the location of Jackie Chan and the child, and then immediately dispatched, and Lin Mingyang was also taken by Kate to arrest Jackie Chan.
After arriving at the scene, Kate locked Lin Mingyang behind the wheel of the police car, and she joined in the fierce battle with the gunmen outside the supermarket. The gangsters who entered the supermarket to search did not dare to shoot casually because they were afraid of accidentally injuring the baby, Jackie Chan used his wit to fight with them, and finally took advantage of the chaos of the police to break the window glass and escape.
Lin Mingyang, who was locked in the police car, was originally a speeding car thief, he skillfully uncuffed himself, and then started the police car without the start key, and broke up the police surrounding Jackie Chan in a rampage tail flick drift. Jackie Chan took the opportunity to jump into the police car, and with the siren sounding, the two drove away in the police car.
The two "hijacked" a stroller on the way, and then made it look like a couple, easily evading the pursuit of the police, but were found again by the criminal gang that followed, and the stroller was stuck on the guardrail at the back of a car during the chase, and the baby was taken to the road with the stroller.
Lin Mingyang relied on his vigorous and agile skills to jump from a pedestrian bridge to the roof of the car and successfully rescued the baby. Jackie Chan drove to pick him up, but was obstructed by the gangsters who also followed. After a thrilling chase and collision, Lin Mingyang smoothly took the baby to the car. He switched positions with Jackie Chan, and then got rid of the group of criminals with his superb driving skills.
In this scene, Brian Levant completely gave up the director's position to the more experienced Jackie Chan, and the most dangerous action in the whole scene was Lin Mingyang jumping from the traffic bridge to the roof of a high-speed car. Lin Mingyang wanted to complete this set of shots by himself, because before this, even Jackie Chan was amazed by his agility, and he was the action stand-in in the family class, and he was not as flexible and superb as him.
Although he had promised Kate before that he would not take risks during filming, Lin Mingyang was very sure of completing this action, and with the adventurous talent in his bones, Lin Mingyang still couldn't hold back.
But when filming this scene, Kate would watch it on the spot whenever she was free, and people who didn't know thought she was interested in this, but in fact she was "supervising" Lin Mingyang.
finally saw an opportunity, Kate was not on the set, and Lin Mingyang proposed his bold idea to Jackie Chan.
But in exchange for Jackie Chan's support, he directly rejected Lin Mingyang's request on the grounds of danger.
"Felix, I know you're the only one to do it, but kung fu is different from stunts, and there's a lot of tricks involved, and there's a lot of self-preservation. Stunt doubles are specially trained, and it is less risky for them to perform. ”
"But I ......" Lin Mingyang was about to refute the words that came to his lips, but suddenly stopped. Because he saw Kate and her assistant carrying a large bag of drinks, which were being distributed to the other members of the family class, while walking towards the place where Jackie Chan and Lin Mingyang were talking.
Jackie Chan punched Lin Mingyang lightly in the chest, "Although you are still young, you are different from me, the stuntman can do a good job, you don't need to take that risk at all!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kate was already standing in front of the two of them, and she handed over two bottles of drinks with a smile on her face, "What interesting things are you discussing?" ”
"Brother Jackie Chan and I are discussing some filming matters!" Afraid that Jackie Chan would say something wrong, Lin Mingyang hurriedly put his shoulder on his shoulder and said first.
Jackie Chan, who reacted, nodded hurriedly and helped Lin Mingyang play the round. "Yes, yes... We are discussing the plot. ”
But after all, he was panicking, the expression on Jackie Chan's face looked a little unnatural, and Lin Mingyang's eyes were even more dodgy.
Kate saw the trickiness in it, but she didn't break it in person, "I heard that the most dangerous scene in this play is ready to shoot immediately, so come and take a look, I don't know if I have missed it?" ”
Jackie Chan smiled awkwardly, "That shot... We're getting ready to shoot! ”
"Looks like I'm here at the right time!" When Kate said this, her eyes glanced at Lin Mingyang intentionally or unintentionally, the two looked at each other, and Lin Mingyang looked away a little weakly.
"Then you can continue to talk, and I won't bother!" I had already guessed a rough idea in my heart, a trace of bitter disappointment flashed in Kate's eyes, and the expression on her face when she turned around deeply pierced Lin Mingyang's heart.
In the end, Kate was unable to leave, because a hand held her firmly.
The people around were dumbfounded, no matter how stupid a person was, when he saw the situation in front of him, he could clearly guess the relationship between Lin Mingyang and Kate. Jackie Chan, who was the first to react, coughed heavily, and then waved his hand, and the staff around him immediately consciously avoided it.
Lin Mingyang still held Kate's hand tightly, Jackie Chan smiled when he saw this, the two of them were already so direct, it was impossible for him to continue to stay here as a light bulb, and before leaving, he sent Kate's last sentence back word for word.
"Then you can continue to talk, and I won't bother!"
Jackie Chan also helped the two clear the scene before leaving, and as soon as he left, Kate's pretty face was immediately covered with a layer of ice.
"You want to try that for yourself?"
Lin Mingyang nodded indifferently, there is no need to hide it at this time.
"You know how dangerous it is to jump from a 3-metre high bridge fence and land exactly on a moving car?"
Lin Mingyang nodded, still didn't open his mouth to explain, looking at Kate's sad expression, a deep guilt surged in his heart.
"You promised me." A line of tears slipped down Kate's poignant face.
Lin Mingyang raised his hand, hesitated in front of Kate, and finally gently brushed her face and helped her wipe away her tears.
Kate really seemed to be throwing away at this time, but Lin Mingyang's last gentle gesture made all the ruthlessness she had accumulated hard before come to naught. Like a moth to a fire, Kate threw herself into Lin Mingyang's arms without hesitation at this moment and hugged him tightly.
In Lin Mingyang's arms, Kate choked softly and said, "Promise me, don't break your promise easily!" ”
Lin Mingyang also hugged Kate tightly, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the person in his arms shed tears for himself.
