Chapter 499: Rapid Race
"Why don't you give us a call? See if they're available? ”
Han Chenghao glanced at Kim Do-jun sideways and asked.
"Let's wait until the filming is over! I definitely haven't been available in the last few days, so I'll talk about it when I'm done filming! ”
Kim Do-joon looked at the time, it was almost time to remove the mask, and while talking, he stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Early the next morning, Kim Do-joon came to the shooting site early, and sure enough, Hollywood's work system was very strict, and within the specified time, all the cast and crew arrived, whether it was Jason Statham or other staff, they all started to get busy on the scene.
As soon as he arrived on the set, Kim Do-joon began to say hello.
"Yo! Jason is here, come here, and introduce to you, this is Tyrese Gibson, call him Gibson, you have to be careful! He plays a race car driver who likes men in the movie! ”
Jason Statham said jokingly, bumped his chest with Kim Do-joon, shook hands, and said hello.
Kim Do-jun turned his head and glanced at the black man next to him, he was not tall, about the same as himself, with dark skin, a bare forehead, a slight smile on his face, white teeth, and he looked quite kind.
He took the initiative to reach out his hand and spoke.
"My name is Kim Do-joon, this is my Korean name, and everyone calls me Jason! Nice to meet you! ”
Kim Do-joon looked at Gibson and suddenly felt something familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"No, isn't this guy a black actor who starred in Transformers! What a coincidence! It seems that he also acted in "Fast and Furious", which is amazing! ”
In fact. Gibson is more than just an actor. Back at the age of 19. released an album of the same name.
In 2000 he won the American Music Awards, the Most Popular Singer Award in the Rhythm & Blues category.
Since starring in "Fast and Furious 2" in 2003, he has played supporting roles in many movies one after another, and last year he also successfully performed well in the "Transformers" series directed by Michael Bay.
Just when Kim Do-joon was happy and wanted to say hello seriously, he heard a burst of uncomfortable words, mixed with the smell of racial discrimination.
"Yo! Asian. Yellow-skinned, the body looks quite strong, what a young man, why don't you come to the game first! ”
Gibson raised his head and said with a smile, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
Kim Do-jun helped his black-rimmed glasses, stepped forward, raised his head to stare at him, his nose was almost close to his nose, and said softly.
"Good! There's a kind of coming! I'm afraid you won't make it! ”
After speaking, there was a "snap". Knocked off the outstretched palm and turned to drive towards his car.
Because it's a racing movie. Everyone was more enthusiastic, and when they heard that there could be such a game to watch before the start of filming, they immediately whistled and shouted loudly.
Director Anderson was not free at all at this time, patronizing and discussing with the camera director and the lighting director about the location of the machine and the lighting, and did not bother with this problem at all.
For him, as long as it doesn't affect the filming schedule, it doesn't matter anything.
The field workers and props workers at the scene were all sitting on top of the oil drums, wearing vests and smoking cigarettes, all kinds of things.
Jason Statham walked over, patted Kim Do-joon on the shoulder, and spoke.
"It's not a good thing to be so impulsive in the first place! I have been a diver for more than ten years, and I have played a supporting role for many years, and it is only today that sometimes, taking a step back will open the sky! ”
The sadness experienced by any successful actor is beyond our imagination, whether it is a Hollywood actor or an unknown supporting actor or actress, they are all on their own life path and forge ahead.
Kim Do-joon pursed his lips, glanced at Gibson in the distance, and spoke.
"It doesn't matter if anything else, but if it makes me feel like I'm discriminating against me, it won't be so easy!"
In the United States, if blacks are second-class citizens, then Asians and Latinos are completely third-class citizens.
In politics, economy, education, and social status, it was completely suppressed by whites.
Whether it is government civil servants, senior officials, police officers, CEOs of entrepreneurs, senior employees, and lawyers, Asians and Latinos are very few and far fewer than blacks.
Racial discrimination is everywhere, whether it is in school or in the judiciary, they are all in a vulnerable position.
This happened to Kim Do-joon when he was in college in the United States, and finally on the baseball field, Kim Do-joon used pitching to teach him how to behave.
In the United States, blacks, as well as Asians and Hispanics, are often punished two to three times more severely than whites for the same crimes, and four times as many blacks are sentenced to death for killing whites.
In U.S. state prisons, about 47 percent of inmates are black, 16 percent are Hispanic, and a small percentage are white.
Therefore, Kim Do-joon hates this status quo very much, and every time he encounters this situation, he is so angry that he can hardly bear it.
Even Gibson has some joking hints or looks down on Kim Do-joon, but no matter what, Kim Do-joon wants to beat him head-on.
It's not just about your skin color, but also about showing your style in front of so many staff on the scene, so that they don't underestimate themselves, Asians can also play racing.
After getting into the car, Kim Dojun fastened his seat belt for the first time, looked at Gibson in front of him, squinted his eyes slightly, and said secretly in his heart.
"I'll take you today!"
Start the car and start driving towards the starting point.
At this time, Gibson also returned to his car, driving the prop car used in the movie shoot, the 2002 Dodge Ram race car.
The two of them came to the starting line together, and the staff who came to watch the race were already surrounded by them, and everyone shouted excitedly and clapped their palms.
Han Chenghao, this guy, I don't know where to get two gentleman's hats, and they buckled them back. Put it in your hand. Shouted as he walked.
"Jason is on the left. Buy Gibson on the right to win, lose one to ten, credibility guaranteed! ”
Under his shouting, sure enough, everyone took out the money, threw it in their hats, and shouted.
"I buy Gibson and win, 20 dollars!"
"Me too! I press 100! ”
"Why is everyone so optimistic about Gibson, how can I buy it? Forget it, I'm still listening to everyone, buy Gibson and win! ”
When he came to Jason Statham's side, he smiled slightly, touched his beard, and spoke.
"I'll bet 10 bucks and buy jason to win!"
There were bursts of incomprehensible ridicule at the scene, and they didn't understand why they chose Kim Do-joon.
After all, Gibson has driven cars for many years, and he also likes racing, and he is also very famous in the circle. Coupled with starring in movies like "Fast and Furious", many people subconsciously. has already given up Kim Do-joon.
In less than a few minutes, in the two gentleman's hats, the left side had no money, while the right side was already full, piling up a hat of dollars.
When Director Anderson found out, he handed over $1,000 to buy Gibson to win, and said with a smile.
"I gave it to you on purpose!"
Sure enough, the mood at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone was fully mobilized.
Naked, with sleeves rolled up, headscarves, cigarettes, everything.
Sitting in the car, Kim Do-jun turned his head and glanced at Gibson, smiled slightly, did not speak, his smile revealed weirdness, and an evil aura arose.
Gibson, on the other hand, opened the window, stretched out his fingers, and made a pistol motion at Kim Do-joon, moving his lips, without making a sound, without saying anything.
“you-will-die!”
Kim Do-joon made a throat-slitting motion, then closed the window and ignored him.
A racing battle, just like a real movie, is on the verge of breaking out.
Jason Statham, as the opening guest of the game, held the order flag in his hand, walked to the center of the two cars, looked left and right, pressed the two cars with both hands, patted it gently, and signaled that it was about to start.
Jason Statham's unique mid-bass voice, which speaks in a very magnetic voice, took the simple speaker handed over by the staff and spoke.
"The race starts right away, all the crew are out of the track, let's just run a lap, whoever arrives first wins, okay, are the two drivers ready?"
Gibson honked his horn arrogantly to indicate that he knew.
Kim Do-joon, on the other hand, stepped on the accelerator heavily, and suddenly the roar of the motor "boomed" and turned up, and he slowly lifted his foot.
“OK! I announce the official start of the game, countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Begin! ”
When Jason Statham saw that both men were ready, he jumped onto a high platform and shouted while holding a bullhorn and began waving his heavy flag.
At the sound of an order, the two cars were like wild beasts, and the "click" sound of the tires rubbing against the ground stimulated every staff member present.
In less than a matter of seconds, the car was whipping up layers of dust and speeding off the track.
As soon as he came up, Kim Do-joon fell behind, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he looked at Gibson, who was one position ahead of him.
I didn't expect him to start faster than himself, although he trained a lot during this time, in South Korea, in New York, and strengthened his practice, but he still couldn't compare to people who had been driving for many years.
As far as the start is concerned, Kim Do-jun obviously suffered a loss, the acceleration was not enough, he did not grab the position, and he took it up.
Now you can only follow behind his car butt and try to follow the one as best you can.
Stepping on the accelerator and hitting the steering wheel, Kim Do-joon felt like a mad dog, biting in the back.
While driving, Gibson glanced back at Kim Do-jun from time to time, and laughed wildly.
"That's it, you still want to compare with me, save it!"
The exposed teeth look a little hideous.
Kim Do-joon knows that there is nothing to fall behind now, and while the car is crazy and bumpy, his brain is very clear.
The straights are not their advantage at all, because the horsepower, rpm, and torque of the car are about the same, and they can't take much advantage of it.
But fortunately, there are two points that Kim Do-joon noticed in advance.
First of all, in order to adapt to the venue, Kim Do-jun practiced more than a week in advance, and for other drivers, no one is more familiar with the track than Kim Do-joon.
This has already defeated many people, at least Kim Do-joon knows where to overtake. Where there is a danger needed. There are even shortcuts somewhere.
Another point. When Kim Do-joon was practicing, he especially asked Walker to teach himself how to be faster and more stable when cornering without slowing down as much as possible.
Originally, Walker taught himself to drift, because in the racing movie, the drifting scene is so handsome, pulling the handbrake, slamming on the brake and hitting the steering wheel while driving on a straight road. In the middle of the turn, he slammed on the brakes, and just like that, he floated straight over.
But he was taught a lesson by Walker.
"Have you ever seen a car this heavy playing drifting? You know how heavy the car you drive right now, drifting is the most fun in Japan! Besides, this field is not suitable for drifting, and the grip is not enough! ”
There is no way, I can only follow behind temporarily, as long as it is not much worse, I am still confident that I can catch it back in the back.
Because Kim Do-joon knows a big secret, and now. Neither the cast nor the director knew that this was for a few days since he did. Results found after practice.
The course was not very long for a lap, and after a while, it was three-quarters of the way out, leaving only the final turns and straights.
Kim Do-joon looked ahead, it was almost there, he hung up the gear, stepped on the accelerator, slowly began to accelerate, and pressed behind Gibson's ass.
"What is this guy doing? Are you going to hit me! ”
Through the rearview mirror, Gibson found that Kim Do-jun gradually caught up, did not overtake, and did not change the road, so he leaned behind him, and suddenly had some doubts.
After a little hesitation, Kim Do-jun suddenly seized the opportunity and shouted.
"It's inside!"
A lane change, hurriedly hit the steering wheel, the speed in his hand is so fast, the car can't be controlled, and drives to the side.
With a "clang", he knocked over a guardrail directly, rushed to the road of the factory, and galloped away.
This is a track that Kim Do-joon stumbled upon when he was practicing at that time, and it was possible to go around the outside circle and meet directly at the intersection in front of him.
As a result, the two cars are now completely neck-to-neck.
Gibson couldn't believe his eyes, when did this guy open inside, how could he suddenly be on par with himself.
Kim Do-joon's heart at this time has only one thought, which is to win, win unconditionally.
Racing isn't just about fighting for the first place, it's also about challenging yourself and seeing where the limits are.
Stepping on the accelerator like crazy, the roar of the motor resounded throughout the shooting scene, and the speed of the engine has exerted its maximum effect at the moment, just like a galloping horse, making the final sprint.
There was no room for anything in his eyes, he was engrossed in looking ahead, holding the steering wheel tightly, at the moment he had forgotten who he was, he had forgotten his fears, he had forgotten everything, he just wanted to win the game.
Gibson was already below in this contest in terms of momentum, because he didn't have a mortal heart.
Turning out, Kim Do-joon took the lead and rushed to the front, followed by Gibson.
The final straight is ahead, and the finish line staff is already naked, throwing up their clothes and swaying.
Standing on the oil drum, standing by the window, standing on the truck, standing on the stool, one by one sticking out their heads, looking carefully ahead.
Han Chenghao wiped his eyes, a little incredulous, the first one was actually Kim Do-joon.
Although he opened a small gambling game, it was just to cheer him up and make a joke, but he didn't expect Kim Dojun to really give himself an unexpected surprise.
Jason Statham looked at Kim Do-joon with a slight smile on his face, and touched his beard.
And Director Anderson also stood up at this time, took the telescope and looked at it carefully, and in less than three seconds, his mouth became O-shaped, and he muttered to himself.
"This guy told himself he couldn't drive! What is it now, a madman or a genius! ”
In the end, when Gibson walked out of the car door dejectedly, Kim Do-jun was held up by Han Sung-ho and thrown into the air, shouting loudly.
"Win, win, win!"
This was the first time he laughed so excitedly, his body swaying, and the smile on his face was like the morning sun, warm but not blazing. (To be continued......)
