Chapter 548: Innovation in Kung Fu Films (Part I)
Parcourir, which means 'run around' in French, was invented by French soldiers during the Vietnam War and brought back to the civilian quarters of Paris with their retirement. When Sophie was a child, there were many boys in the neighborhood who played, but as people often fell from rooftops and escalators, either disabled or died, the sport was banned by parents and schools, and now basically no one plays.
βWhatοΌ Do you want to be in the movie Parcourir? Ming, you're going to teach bad kids! You know? My neighbor was injured and spent months in the hospital, but was able to be resuscitated. β
Fortunately, this plane is a special plane for the Bulls, otherwise Sophie Marceau's excitement and screaming will be entertaining the news.
"No, Sophie, in our United States, there are many people who are injured and even die every year because of rugby games, but it still can't stop everyone's love. The ban on your parents and schools in France can only show that your school education is killing the nature of the children, so you French men are all sissies. β
Tim Burton, who failed in courtship, took a good look at the French man, turned around and asked Sun Ziming again, "Ming, does this sport sound cool and fun?" β
"I didn't know, I was designing the action scenes. Ah Guang, do you think there is a trick? β
Lu Huiguang carefully looked at the model on the small square table, pointed to the staircase model on it and said, "Brother Ming, these things are not difficult, as long as your hands and feet are faster." β
He pointed to the models of houses of different heights, "These are really difficult, unless you don't use long shots, you will die!" Also, actors must go through strict training, otherwise only the stupid and bold eldest brother (Cheng Long) dares to dance. However, it seems that the eldest brother can't either, he doesn't have that explosive power. β
That's for sure, if you want to use a pseudo 'long lens', a width of more than ten meters, without sufficient running, even if there is a height difference, you will definitely fall to death.
It may be that the impression of childhood is too deep, Sophie saw that Sun Ziming began to discuss the possibility, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, Sun Ziming had to be patient and explained, "Sophie, if I draw a path on the ground that is thirty centimeters wide and let you walk along it for fifty meters, is there a problem?" β
βNOβ
"OK, if I add a hundred meters of cliffs on either side, can you?"
βNOοΌβ
Isn't this the end, most of the so-called dangers are caused by psychological factors, and these things can be overcome through training, not to mention that all dangerous actions will be protected to minimize the probability of accidents. There are no dangerous and exciting scenes in action movies, who would pay to watch them? If you're afraid of danger, don't be an action actor, it's safest to be a singer and dancer on Broadway!
Sitting next to Chris, he is now Sun Ziming's 'head horse' in the United States, with the same role as Liu Weiqiang in Hong Kong. He went through the actors who had an impression in his mind, shook his head again and again, and said: "Boss, you can't find such actors in the United States, light, is there one in Hong Kong?" β
Lu Huiguang also pondered for a while, the martial artists he knew were much more fancy, bold, but not many had real kung fu, "Brother Ming, only Tiger and Ajie may have this ability, but the Tiger's flexibility and flexibility are not enough, and those actions in the stairs cannot be completed." β
That's a pity, Sun Ziming wants Billy Zhou to play the most, he owes him a favor, and he always wants to pay him back. A few days ago, I accompanied Li Zhi to go shopping, and I saw children drilling around in obstacles, which gave him this inspiration.
Lu Huiguang has been with Sun Ziming for a long time, and when he saw the regret on his face, he hurriedly comforted: "Brother Ming, just the zombie face of the tiger, isn't it the material to be the protagonist, let's let Ajie play it?" β
"Well, call Brother Jie to finish filming the film at hand and come to the United States to adapt to the environment."
Lu Huiguang scratched his head and hesitated: "Brother Ming, I'm afraid he won't be able to come over until the end of the year, he is filming "Tai Chi Grandmaster", cooperating with Ah Qiu, and Debao's schedule is empty." β
Oh, come to think of it, now he has followed suit and opened his own film studio, "Tai Chi Grandmaster" is the pioneering work of 'Zhengdong Studio', and it is also the highlight of this year's light and shadow company. However, the script has changed itself beyond recognition, and has also added historical insinuations, and I don't know if it will reproduce the miracle of "Jingwu Heroes"?
This movie can be described as a super luxurious team: Cheng Xiaodong is the director for him, Yuan Heping is the martial arts instructor, and the American Light and Shadow Company does the special effects, he and Huang Yanqiu, Fujiwara Norika, Yoshino Dairo starring, co-produced by the Light and Shadow Company, Light Media and Japan's Toho, will be released in Asia at the same time.
Thinking of such a luxurious team, Sun Ziming has some expectations. If this film is a box office hit, Kadokawa Pictures will definitely follow suit, and there will be a trend of convergence in East Asian films. I wonder if Japan will really become a small Japan, Japanese films will become vassals of Chinese-language films, and as for the fledgling film industry in South Korea, I am afraid that it will also be drowned in the tide of integration of the East Asian film industry.
Thinking of this, Sun Ziming suddenly felt that he should take some time to go to South Korea, taking advantage of the fact that they are still weak now, when they increase investment and cooperate in filmmaking, so that they will completely lose their independence.
As soon as he saw Sun Ziming in a daze, the people on the plane began to be busy, resting when they should rest, and chatting when they should chat. The boss's daze, he must not be able to wake up in an hour, the ghost knows whether he is thinking about the company's major events, or habitually in a daze, anyway, he often goes in a daze.
Sun Ziming is also used to thinking about things alone, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought of Li Lianjie's first Hollywood film, "The King of Killers" has been adapted, will it work? Can Americans accept it? No, it's a safe thing.
Sun Ziming hurriedly called Lu Huiguang over, this kid is in Hawaii, he plays with the American GIs when he has nothing to do, and he also learned a few tricks from those marines. If you add a little hand-to-hand combat to martial arts, and the editing is sharper, will it be more realistic and credible?
β¦β¦
Back in Los Angeles, Sun Tzu held a meeting overnight to arrange the follow-up work of "Jurassic Park" and the casting of "Very Little Spy", "After I come back from Asia, do I have a problem to see the right person and location for the next movie?" β
Brian, the manager of the artist department, is really a little afraid of Sun Ziming's work style, and the reward is heavy, and the punishment for not completing the work is also ruthless, seeing that he began to ask for advice, he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Boss, I have a problem." β
"Say"
Sun Ziming's adaptation of the script of "Forrest Gump" has been sent to Tom Hanks, and he himself agreed to star in it, but his agency CAA has objections to the script and salary. They carefully studied the script and did not think that it was a good movie, strung with feathers to string the whole storyline development? This is simply a real movie, just like "Sniper Phone Booth", although it is successful, it does not mean that "Forrest Gump" can also be successful.
Although Tom Hanks is recognized as a powerful superstar, he also relies on the Oscar statuette to establish his status in Hollywood, and "The Philadelphia Story" may allow him to get the statuette, unless the salary is according to market conditions.
"They still insist on a salary of 8 million and don't want a box office share. Also, his agent, Mr. Howard, wants to get a promise from you that your film will have Tom in the first place. β
Fool, Sun Tzu scolded brightly, "Didn't I say that this film will be filmed next year at the earliest, won't it affect his appearance in "The Philadelphia Story"?" What about his own opinion? Haven't you been in contact with him personally? β
The boss didn't understand? Brian hurriedly explained: "He himself has agreed to star, but the salary is negotiated by CAA, of course, he has the final decision." If you could find the time to meet with him, he would definitely take the initiative to cut his salary. Boss, a salary of 8 million, CAA has discounted us, and he is currently worth 11 million. β
"No need, just give it according to 8 million, I will rush back to Hong Kong tomorrow, you greet him on my behalf." If time permits, when I came back from Asia, I asked him to have a meal, and he was fine. β
"He's a good guy, so I'll notify CAA tomorrow to sign the agreement. The main and supporting characters of "Very Little Agent" have already begun to be selected, and there will be a suitable person before you return to Los Angeles. β
