Doug Liman, a director who has never made an action movie, has a lot of trust from Universal.

This directly shows that Xiàn basically has the final say in the film, he is the first producer, he is the director, the vice president of the Universal side who made a disgrace at the beginning, Jose will not intervene in the filming at all, and Flack will not do nasty things, but the screenwriter Tony Gilroy will do just hope that Doug will respect the script - this point, they have long agreed that as long as there is no character of the level of the male protagonist who asks for a change in the plot, Doug will not do such a thing.

Therefore, the most important person who needs to be responsible for Daniel's entry into the group is almost the only one who is Doug Liman.

"Congratulations, I watched "Gladiator", your performance is very exciting." Doug is much more enthusiastic than before, maybe he saw the effect of Daniel's performance, or maybe it was for a better atmosphere of cooperation, all in all, this is not a bad thing, Daniel is also willing to work with a group of people.

"You'll have a stand-in, but a lot of scenes, I hope you'll be able to handle it."

"Of course, to the best of my ability." Daniel looked at the other two sturdy guys, "Nick Powell, Jeff Imada, nice to meet you." ”

"Now? Hopefully you'll think so at the end of training. "Jeff, his action coach, has a good sense of humor, but Daniel understands he's not joking, and in fact, even if he does, Daniel doesn't intend to make himself feel better. He understands that Jason Byrne needs to show Cheng dù in the movie, and he will climb down the five floors with his bare hands - which he will definitely not be able to do, but Cheng dù, who climbs along the water pipe to the second or third floor, and the hand-to-hand combat with the embassy staff, he hopes that he can play in person, which is responsible for the film, and can also avoid being ridiculed and only show a face.

It's not a joke, it's a stain to use too many stand-ins in action movies, which usually gets this evaluation.

He was determined to learn a lot from Jeff, the use of weapons, hand-to-hand combat, etc., as well as some practice of cool skills including driving, etc., although it was completely impossible for him to drive through the streets of Paris and chase police cars, but at least there had to be a rack.

"I think I will, my fist sues me."

Daniel thought of a Chinese actor named Zhang Zhen, a very interesting one, who once became a kung fu master because he played a kung fu role, which is what Daniel wanted to do in "Spy Shadow", he has a bit of kung fu foundation, and more than a month of intensive training should be enough for him to compete with Jeff.

He has this self-confidence.

Everyone is laughing, young people are always scrappy, but Doug appreciates that, so why not? Isn't a big star who is willing to work hard to do role training synonymous with dedication?

"I have to say that this film doesn't have the demanding performances of "Gladiator", but it's a bit new to you, you haven't had similar experience, but it's not a problem, there are first times at any time, and as long as you do a good enough job in the action, the rest is my task."

Daniel has no objection, the film is known for its shots, plot and editing, and the original Matt Damon, despite his acclaim, is not particularly important to the quality of the film, which is actually why Daniel was very direct about competing for the film, and when he was thinking about doing "Pirates of the Caribbean", he hesitated, and he started with the idea of "Pirates of the Caribbean" from the time he planned to be a client of Tracy Jacobs, of course, at that time it was Will Turner, that is, the character of Orlando Bloom, Later, it was Captain Jack who grabbed it with Johnny Depp. There have been a lot of things in between, and it is an established strategy to participate in this movie that is enough to make a super A-list superstar, but he is really unsure whether he can do it.

That's the difference, Matt Damon did a good enough job of "Spy" but was easy to replace, while Johnny Depp gave Captain Jack a trait that makes it hard to imagine what it would be like to play it with another person - maybe that's what Depp wants.

Either way, Daniel was determined to get it done.

……

On the first day of filming, Daniel met the heroine, Franka Potant, a German girl who was the most distinctly German on the film's main team – a German-American co-production.

Franke really can't be called a beauty, especially by Hollywood standards.

No blonde hair, no big waves, no plump red lips, no delicate faces - nothing.

But she's really charming.

Daniel had rightfully seen her famous film, "Lola Run", and Doug Liman took inspiration from this film and insisted that Franca should play the role, even changing the heroine's hair color for her for Lola's trademark red hair.

Compared to Connie Nelson, Franka and Daniel are much younger, she was born in 1974.

Meet next to a large camera, which is maintained by a young camera assistant, and then Franke and Daniel sit next to it.

"You're so handsome, I'll have to talk to Doug."

Daniel wasn't sure what she really meant, it sounded like she was complimenting him, but Daniel wasn't sure he was looking at someone with a sense of humor.

As it turns out, Franka is telling the truth, and Daniel doesn't know about it until Doug is looking for him.

"Uh, thank you, you're very attractive too."

"Don't you like to use the word 'charm' when you praise pretty girls? There are some people who like to use the words 'unique' or 'temperament'. Relatively speaking, the 'charm' is not bad. Franka shook her long legs, comfortable and chic.

Daniel understood that this was a casual girl, and the whole person relaxed a lot.

They talked about something about each other's countries and quickly became acquainted.

It's an actor's talent, because there's not that much time for you to be friends, and in the movie, two people are even closer than friends.

They have kiss scenes and bed scenes.

Daniel didn't play today, he came here to recognize people, and soon left here to go to the training ground with Jeff.

"Let's try your foundation first, okay?"

"Of course."

Daniel struck a pose, he learned Chinese Changquan, because the original teacher was not a performance school, not a practical school, so it still looks a little different from the routine of the exhibition competition.

Jeff whistled, he didn't know Changquan, but he knew a little about Chinese kung fu, and Hong Kong's martial arts instructors were also a force in Hollywood, and Jeff certainly knew a thing or two.

He knows modern martial arts, and his moves are fierce and direct, but because he often coaches martial arts for action movies, the martial arts he teaches are somewhat more enjoyable.

Alternate feet on the ground, eyes fixed on Daniel.

On the training table, the fight is imminent.
