Chapter 240 Big Names Playing Villains?

In the final scene, one person kills hundreds of heavily armed SWAT officers. Naturally, that person will not be the protagonist, but the villain No. 1. Wen Yi is not a bad guy!

Of course, the location can't be set in the whole city. Because, unless the man is crazy. How is it possible for a master who can take out hundreds of SWAT officers, except for a madman, not to run away, but to take out the police who are chasing him?

In Wen Yi's setting, the protagonist finds the culprit. But because the heroine Adele is a Los Angeles policeman, under the pursuit of one party and the escape of the other, the villain was forced into a building by Wen Yi, and then the police arrived and restricted Wen Yi's actions. Because, in no other place, the police will have a foreigner as the main force to catch criminals.

Whether or not the person catches the criminal, it is unacceptable for the police. You got caught, and the police have no face. If you make any mistakes, the police will be held responsible.

Of course, the most important thing is that they think that Wen Yi has violated the law when he was tracking down the villain, and they detained him.

Hundreds of heavily armed SWAT officers were killed to show the ferocity and power of the villain, and then the villain was used to set off the power of the protagonist, so as to give the audience a very intuitive understanding.

High and low, sometimes it really needs to be foiled.

In American blockbusters, there is nothing wrong with taking out a military base by one person. Not to mention that a kung fu master can take out hundreds of SWAT officers.

However, Frank asked this way, naturally because he killed the hundreds of heavily armed SWAT, and the other party did not use weapons at all. And go and kill them with your bare hands. This is fundamentally different from those who take out a military base one by one.

So Frank will ask if Huaxia Kung Fu is really that powerful? No wonder the army in China is so powerful. I want to block them with rudimentary weapons. It also made the well-equipped United States lose the war. Is it because those soldiers know Chinese kung fu?

Wen Yi naturally didn't know that Frank would think of that, the reason why he wrote the villain so well, and there were many scenes. is just looking for a big name in Hollywood, or even a superstar, to play this villain.

If the villain is just a foil protagonist, it is estimated that no big name will take this film.

The most important thing about Wen Yi's film is to take the opportunity to promote Chinese kung fu. From borrowing Hollywood's big-name Western actors, publicity is not necessarily a good choice.

Of course, the protagonist is a Chinese after all, and he is played by Wen Yi himself. Naturally, it will not be strengthened by a villain. Being a villain won't let him be a soy sauce beater, and the limelight should still be drawn.

What's more, Wen Yi has always believed that if a film is only the protagonist in the audience's impression after the end of the film, it is undoubtedly a failed work. A truly classic work, even if it is a small supporting role, there is definitely room for play.

Wen Yi has put a lot of effort into this.

The second female lead, that is, the protagonist's sister Xiaoyi. is naturally played by Lin Yuyan, although there are not many scenes in this role. But after all, it is crucial. And it's not bad to take this opportunity to show your face in the film.

"Resident Evil" broke the box office record of Chinese movies in North America, and many fans are already familiar with Lin Yuyan. She plays the role of Xiaoyi in the film, which has good benefits for both her and the film.

Of course, Yuan Fang plays the villain master in it, and she can be regarded as a female No. 3. Moreover, her appearance in the film can at least ensure that she feels familiar in the minds of Western fans. "Resident Evil" has made many fans and even film companies notice her.

What's more, participating in this film is a good continuation gimmick. And the film "Mulan" cooperated by Wen Yi and Zhang Xiaogang has been filmed at this time, and she has no new arrangements, so it naturally does not hurt to show her face internationally.

"Who are you going to invite to play against you?" Frank asked.

Frank and Wen Yi are naturally two people who play opposite each other, one is the heroine, and the other is naturally the villain.

"I mentioned this to Jason!" Wen Yi smiled and said.

"Jason? Jason. James? Frank looked over with some surprise, saw Wen Yi nodding, and then his eyes widened, and said, "Will he take over this film?" I know that the two of you seem to have a good personal relationship. But his worth at this time, it may be difficult to play a villain in this film. ”

Jason is really developing well in Hollywood at this time, a popular tough guy actor and an international action superstar. The popularity is very high, especially in the international martial arts competition, and it is even more in the limelight at this time.

Although his limelight is not as loud as Wen Yi. But I have to admit that he has a stronger background than Wen Yi. At least in North America, Europe and other places have much stronger box office appeal than Wenyi.

To put it bluntly, their identities are different. In Hollywood, Jason is much better than Wen Yi's wrist.

Let a big name play a villain at a low price, and give a foil to the protagonist played by a "newcomer". It's not impossible, but it's definitely rare. In addition, most of these things happen within our company.

That is to say, it is not uncommon for a film and television company to support a newcomer, and the big names of the company can be a foil to praise it. But Wen Yi and Jason, after all, are not a brokerage company, but have a good personal relationship.

"He'll be interested!" Wen Yi smiled and said, "What's more, he owed me a favor at the beginning, and he probably wanted to pay it back a long time ago." ”

Frank looked at Wen Yi and didn't say anything more. He had already seen confidence in Wen Yi's eyes. I've heard some rumors about him and Jason. At the beginning, it seemed that the guy was going to learn kung fu from the guy in front of him. As a result, I don't know what to think about, Wen Yi introduced it to Jason's current master. It is said that the guy has a lot of respect for his master.

After all, Jason knelt down to Sun Jiantian and served tea, and the two of them were not a relationship between a student and a master, but a master and apprentice. And Jason has always loved fighting, and the more he comes into contact with Chinese kung fu, the more he feels that it is unfathomable. In particular, Wen Yi's shock to him was too great.

Moreover, Huaxia Kung Fu can maintain health, and he knows this very well. Master Wen Yi he has seen, he is over 100 years old, his health is better than that of many young people, and he can even open his teeth if he falls out. For a centenarian, an absolute miracle.

This shocked him.

No one doesn't want to live a few more years! And get healthy.

Of course, Wen Yi chose Jason, in addition to his own fame, but also because he knew Chinese kung fu, so he didn't have to spend time on training at all. What's more, even if it takes a few months to hold some Buddha's feet temporarily, it may not be able to achieve the effect Wen Yi wants.

has action scenes, Wen Yi still likes to use actors who know kung fu. Just like among the villains this time, in addition to Yuan Fang, there will naturally be others. It is impossible that the villain master has only one woman. Therefore, among the male villains, Wen Yi also invited Wang Li.

Invite Wang Li, that is purely familiar. Wen Yi likes to use familiar actors, because if he is familiar, he knows better.

As for who is that female number one? Wen Yi still asked Frank's opinion, after all, that guy is a person who understands movies, and he knows more about Hollywood actresses.

"Hollywood actresses who know how to fight? Do I have a candidate? is now popular in Hollywood, and his acting skills are also excellent. Frank listened to what Wen Yi said, smiled, and said, "But she's a topic queen." invited her to be the female number one, it is estimated that the film has not yet started filming, and there will be a scandal between the two of you. ”

"Then think about if there are any other candidates!" Wen Yi didn't need to ask who it was, and said directly.

He heard some different flavors from Frank's words, saying that the "queen of topics" is easy to have scandals with himself, so needless to say, it can be directly understood that the actress is very "wave"!

Wen Yi is not afraid of scandals, there have been a lot of scandals since his debut, so many that he has become numb. But he was reluctant to deal with such women. There is a natural rejection.

"Who are you not listening to me?" Frank looked at Wen Yi with a smile and said.

"No need. If the heroine still uses big names, I'm afraid the budget is a little too high. What's more, this play is a man's play! Wen Yi shook his head and then said.

"That's right! With you and Jason here, it is estimated that even if you invite diva-level actresses, you can only be a foil! Frank nodded, he had to admit that Wen Yi's mention of the budget hit his soft underbelly.

Lionsgate did have a limited budget for him. This, in fact, also reminds them that they do not have absolute confidence in Wen Yi. (To be continued......)
