Chapter 196: The Tide of Tattoos
On the official website of "Warriors", which was released early, BBS posts exploded at a geometric rate, and in just half an hour, there were more than 10,000 topics about this promotional poster, about Jeremy and Statham's tattoos on their arms!
"Oh, I can't imagine that in just over a month, Jeremy's arm can be thick like that! It's amazing! "Some people were amazed.
"It can't be someone else's shooting, right?" Some people are skeptical and very unceremoniously express their opinions.
"Don't shit around, Smith Chow never cheated on us! What he says always counts, and I believe that this is something that Jason Statham and Jeremy have worked so hard to achieve, don't use an ambiguous word to erase the sweat of others! Someone immediately retorted unconvinced.
"Oh God, that's cool! Their tattoos are so cool, they're just so cool! I want to have it too! "Young people are always easily impressed, and soon the same posts cover the front page.
"That's right! This tattoo is so cool that it can't be done! Who's going to get this tattoo with me? Come on, buddy, I'm going to collide with you! ”
"Hoho, count me in, I'm going to tattoo that mysterious square word too!"
"Come on, come on, who's in Seattle? I know a tattoo master, let's go together! forever! ”
“forever!”
Zhou Shaoming never thought that his poster would once again gather the attention of young people in the United States and set off a big and small trend.
In Los Angeles, Harry, a seventeen-year-old boy who once played a little zombie in Zhou Shaoming's "Resident Evil", once again slipped out of the house when his mother went to join the choir.
Under the dim street lamp, a slightly chubby figure waited under it, stretched its neck anxiously, and kept looking at the side of the road.
It wasn't until he saw Harry running over like a wind that the boy exclaimed in surprise, "Oh **, my God, you're finally here, I thought you'd dump me again!" ”
"How is that possible! My dear fat fish, what about their people? Harry ran panting, clinging to the street lamp and trying to calm himself.
"Jeff, they're running early, hurry up, or the time for that tattoo shop to get a 20% discount will pass!" Fat Fish said hurriedly.
"Then let's go, we can't let that guy Jeff get the tattoo first!" Harry runs with Fat Fish.
In order to better expand their business, the owners of tattoo shops with very keen surnames have played a tattoo after ten o'clock, or a signboard with tattoos to send Chinese square characters, so that Zhou Shaoming wants to slowly add Chinese elements to his movies and expand the influence of Chinese in the United States.
At least, in the tattoo shops in the United States, if any one can't tattoo Chinese characters, it can be described as a crowd of people and no one cares.
The brightly lit tattoo shop was crowded with young men and women, most of them sitting in chairs, either spitting clouds or chatting happily about various topics, everyone waiting for the tattoo artist to get one and then call him in.
On the wall, there are various tattoo patterns, and unlike usual, all kinds of square words are placed in the most prominent position.
On the ceiling, the owner of this tattoo shop even made a lot of hanging flags, hanging "tiger", "leopard" and "dragon", all kinds of powerful and majestic, well-meaning Chinese characters high in it, and of course, the "brother" in Zhou Shaoming's movie, these two words are the most conspicuous in the middle.
"Oh, Jeff!" Harry and Fatfish finally arrive and greet Jeff, who is sitting in a chair waiting for a call.
"Ha, you're too late, there are more than 20 people in front, and there are only four in front of me!" Jeff hugged his little girlfriend Amy and smiled at the two of them.
"Oh **, why are there so many people? There is also a family not far ahead, which will also tattoo Chinese characters, why is there no one over there, and there are many people here like canned sardines? Harry asked, puzzled.
"Haha, you don't know this, the owner of this house has learned Chinese and has a deep understanding of Chinese, at least he won't let us tattoo those words that look beautiful, but are actually completely swearing!" Jeff kissed Amy in his arms violently, and stood on the side of the road on the other side, looking at this place with a jealous face, and Nunu, the owner of another tattoo shop, whispered: "There is a girl at school who has taken a fancy to a Chinese character, and that guy helped her tattoo it without saying a word, but someone told her that the Chinese character is the record of the girl!" Hahaha, this almost didn't make me laugh to death! ”
"Hahaha!" Hearing this joke, Harry and Fatfish were stunned for a moment, and then fell into laughter.
"I hope that girl's husband can't read Chinese!" Amy also said with a playful smile, which made the three of them laugh.
As he spoke, the owner of the tattoo shop shouted, "No. 85, come in, hell, come in No. 85, don't come in and call the next one!" ”
"**, call me!" Jeff hurriedly stood up, hugged Amy, and rushed in.
Harry exchanged glances with Fatfish and rushed in to see the excitement.
"Hey, little lover, what are you going to tattoo? Have you chosen? The boss, who had long hair and even tattoos on his face, asked, "The money he has earned these days is a lot, and he even speaks with joy.
"Smith Week's new movie! What do those two square words mean, we want to tattoo that! Jeff said preemptively, then looked at Harry triumphantly.
"Oh, that's what brothers mean, you're boyfriend and girlfriend, it's not appropriate to tattoo that." The boss shook his head, took out a big board, pointed to the "dragon" and "phoenix" and said: "This is the name of the ancient Chinese emperor and empress, and these two words are very imposing, and the artistic conception is also very good, just right for you!" ”
"Emperor and Empress? Wow, that sounds great! Ok, just listen to you, give us two tattoos of this! "Jeff haha, the decision is made.
Soon, the dragon flying phoenix dance appeared on the arms of the two, the same as in Zhou Shaoming's movie, almost all of them had the English word tattooed under the Chinese word.
forever!
This has become another annotation of Smith Chow's director, and even this time his film was not released, and enthusiastic fans invariably followed his footsteps, following without reservation, full of infinite confidence.
"This is ABC TV, and the Smith Week movie is about to start filming recently, but surprisingly, just one promotional poster has made boys and girls across the country crazy, and even invited friends to go to the tattoo shop to tattoo the mysterious Chinese characters. The trend has already started to spread! A beautiful host said to the camera, and then the camera focused on the young people sitting in front of the tattoo shop, waiting with great interest to get tattoos.
The beautiful host stopped a jubilant boy who had just got his tattoo done and asked, "Hey, young man, you look happy." ”
"Ye, I'm very happy that you said it to me." The boy looked at the camera excitedly, "This is my first time on TV, hey, Terry, my brother, see me?" ”
"Can you show us your tattoo?" The beautiful host asked with a smile.
"Oh, of course!" The boy triumphantly showed the word "brother" that had just been tattooed on his arm and gave the camera a close-up.
"What does that mean?" The beautiful host continued to ask.
"This is what my brother meant, my parents didn't agree with our tattoos, my brother secretly ran to get a tattoo two days ago, and I came today to make up for the promise between our brothers!" The boy was so happy that he kept pointing to the word "brother" on his arm and said, "Terry, do you see, forever!" ”
The camera pans back to the beautiful host: "Oh God, Smith Chow has completely affected these kids, and when their parents objected, the kids ignored it. They have become fervent admirers, what effect will this have on their future lives? I really hope Smith Chow's film can have enough positive meaning. ”――
When many media jumped out and scolded Zhou Shaoming's movies for misleading people's children, instigating those young people to get tattoos, and bad morals affecting the social atmosphere, when more media stood up to defend Zhou Shaoming, thinking that his movies changed the world and became a fashion for fans to chase, Zhou Shaoming had stayed away from those disturbances, took the team to the studio, and officially started filming "Warrior".
The date is March 17, 2001.
This kind of fight movie, the background music is definitely a sunny stroke, this piece of Zhou Shaoming was handed over to John Williams, this Hollywood palace-level soundtrack has slowly become Smith Zhou's royal soundtrack, and Zhou Shaoming is also very relieved to him, just emphasized to him: This is a blood-pumping work, the background music should go from a low tone to a storm, that is the surging feelings, open arms, making people feel that a strong man is standing beside him.
There is no doubt about John Williams' skills, Zhou Shaoming let him do it, without reservation.
And cinematographer Martin Smith is an old partner with Zhou Shaoming's three movies, and his ability to control the lens is deeply trusted by Zhou Shaoming, experienced and sophisticated, because, this time it is not surprising that this extremely critical position still has to be sat by him to rest assured.
In addition, there is the newly recruited gaffer Pierre Troll, who is also a highly experienced gaffer with many blockbuster film shoots.
Now, before filming, it is necessary for Zhou Shaoming to explain his thoughts to these two people, so as to make the lens language more hot and outgoing.
