Or when it comes to Russian cinema in 3G, most people's impressions are still on the body of academic directors like Tarkovsky or Alexander Sokolov. [Update]//Welcome to Reading// But just like the recovering Russian economy, a huge, courageous and ambitious change is brewing in the Russian film industry.

In a certain industry, the emergence of a kind of person actually means that the whole industry is changing in a hurry. Tim Bekmanbetov is exactly such a person. Successively filmed two blockbuster films, "The Night Watch" and "The Day Watchman", which surpassed other DreamWorks blockbusters at the domestic box office in Russia. At least Tim's appearance makes people realize that Russian directors are not all about making boring films.

"Tim started revising the script as soon as he was in place, and his changes made the story quite crazy, and when he added his Eastern European crazy ideas to the story, the whole script really became quite dark, and this change made Jeff very happy, because it was very much in line with the idea he had been holding."

"I remember that there didn't seem to be a nvxìng horn sè in that comic." Since Li Haitao began to introduce this film, Chen Feng has been quietly acting as a listener, and this is the first time he has taken the initiative to ask.

"How else to say that Li Qingya's energy is amazing?" Li Haitao smiled, "The producer specially invited Chris Morgan to be the script doctor, and his task was to tailor a role for Li Qingya. The NV protagonist in the script is called Fox, and I've read the script, and Chris seems to have combined Lola from "Lola the Tomb Robber" with Trinity in "The Matrix", and finally created a dangerous NV character full of mystery and color. I heard that she herself likes this horn sè. ”

After Li Qingya decided to join the film, the problem of finding other actors became a big problem for Long. The originally small production cost became more and more stretched after hiring a big name like Li Qingya. And the salary of 10 million is still only the price of Li Qingya starring in a small movie such as "Gangster Project", and her salary when she played "Zhu Xian" was 15 million. But even if Julie's salary has dropped very low, about a quarter to one-fifth of the filming cost of this "Wanted" is still divided by her.

If Chen Feng joins this film, the salary will definitely not be lower than Li Qingya, just when he is worried about the lack of filming costs for the film. Li Haitao said a word.

"So it's still your face that is the biggest, Long Cheng not only offered you a salary of 20 million on the phone, but also promised to increase the production cost of this film to 100 million US dollars." He looked at Chen Feng very seriously. "After deducting your salary, director Tim has at least $15 million more in production costs out of thin air. In yesterday's phone call, I did not reply directly to Long Cheng. So the director and producer of the film will definitely come and lobby you. ”

Chen Feng never judges someone based on the evaluation of others, whether Beckman Betov is a director who can tell stories, and how good his storytelling skills are, can only be known after reading the script.

When reading the script, Chen Feng turned the page quickly, and the casual attitude on his face seemed too contemptuous in the eyes of Beckman Betov, a rigorous Russian director. Beckman Betov raised an eyebrow, and Pratt quickly glanced at him, stopping his reckless impulse.

With more than 100 pages of scripts, Chen Feng only took half an hour to roughly read through them. The story is not much different from what he imagined, the male protagonist of the nest is born escapist, and his life is full of failures: in the company. The boss takes pleasure in torturing him; At home, NV friends regard him as air. Then a xìng cold yànnv man appeared, and then took his future into a thrilling and even outlaw journey. …,

Whether it's the godlike Righteous Warrior Special Training, the unique "Bending Bullet Time", or the Fly Sè Strike Skill that pierces Yang in 100 steps. The secret assassin organization, or the speeding car chase from "The Sun Watcher", is full of primitive heartiness between the lines.

And the original coolness also means that the extremely stylish male NV protagonist never forgets to show off his hot xìng sense, from the bold body yòò. As for the lingering tongue, just the violence-related passages mentioned in the script are enough to make this film deserve an R-rated rating.

Gently closing the script, Chen Feng looked at Pratt with a smile, "When are we going to start?" ”

――――

According to normal procedures, Pratt should have further discussed the contract with Chen Feng next. But the real situation was a little different from what he expected, and the accident happened to Beckman Betov. When Pratt and Chen Feng were having a good conversation, the Russian director suddenly said something.

After the translator explained, Chen Feng knew that the director was asking his opinion about the script. From the other party's face, he could see an expression of distrust and even suspicion.

Chen Feng was slightly stunned, "Is Mr. Tim doubting my ability?" ”

"I think it's a misunderstanding..."Seeing that he could sign a contract with Chen Feng smoothly, Beckman Betov crossed the bar and led the situation to the position, Pratt kept giving him a look, but the stubborn "polar bear" ignored his kindness.

He said a word at Chen Feng, and then the translator explained: "Mr. Tim said that you were not serious when you read the script, and he doubted whether you knew the positioning of this film. ”

This habit of quickly flipping through the script is related to Chen Feng's reading speed that is different from ordinary people, others seem to be just flipping through it casually, but in fact, he is reading it very seriously. This often caused misunderstandings among others, and he had to struggle to explain it every time, but this time he decided to take a different approach.

"I know that this script was changed by Beckman Betov himself, and if you ask him a few questions, can I answer them." Chen Feng said these words to Beckman Betov's translator, and after he finished speaking, he smiled at Pratt next to him: "This should be able to test whether I have read the script seriously or not." ”

Hearing the confidence in Chen Feng's tone, Pratt handed the translator a smile, and then the other party translated Chen Feng's original words to Beckman Betov, who also agreed with the proposal.

Beckman Betov asked five questions, and Chen Feng answered all of them correctly. His performance shocked the Russian director, whose eyes widened and he exclaimed, "This can't be... It's amazing. (To be continued......)
