Chapter 657: Filming Hong Kong Films in Hollywood (Medium)
The first shot looks scary, as long as Li Lianjie doesn't panic, it's actually not difficult. The second shot is really difficult, in the long shot, he has to dodge obstacles like a professional parkour player, and he has to take down enemies like in a Hong Kong kung fu movie.
After everyone was in place, Yuan Heping asked his subordinates to call Li Lianjie, and everyone reviewed the movements again, and then made an OK gesture to Sun Ziming.
"The King of Killers, Scene 1, Action."
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, the gangsters outside the door just raised their guns, Li Lianjie broke out of the door from inside, overwhelmed the gangsters at the door, and used various beams, iron doors, and gangsters' bodies in the corridor, like a dexterous ape, to rush out of the corridor.
"It's over"
Sun Ziming shouted, and his American counterparts looked at Li Lianjie with a little scattered breath.
God, is this still human?
Tom Cruise has been guarding behind the monitor with his grandson, and he is also dumbfounded when he looks at the scenes inside that are completely different from Hollywood action movies. What is it called? It's like "Premiere" said, what is the aesthetics of violence.
That's right, it's called the aesthetics of violence! This little yellow-skinned man perfectly combines strength, speed, and reaction, with both a violent visual impact and an artistic beauty.
"Brother Jie, good job! Resting, we shoot on the escalator. Eighth, check the safety protection again! ”
“Ok”
Li Lianjie, who was muscular and had soft curves, took the towel handed by the sundries, wiped off the sweat all over his body, and sat down in a corner where no one was there to rest. After Sun Ziming finished his instructions, he also sat behind the monitor and smoked a cigarette, listening to Douglas's report on the post-production of "Forrest Gump".
"Ok, I'll go over in the evening and find a hotel nearby, so I don't have to run back and forth."
"Yes, sir", Douglas wrote down, running to the side to make a call.
Wait until they're talking, Tom? Cruise withdrew his gaze from his partner and exclaimed, "Ming, where did you find Superman?" ”
"Cut, Superman is not a zài, he is a real martial artist!"
Cruise took over the film, learned a little about Chinese culture, and knew that the martial arts they spoke of were similar to the meaning of kung fu they said, but it didn't seem like they were making a Hollywood action movie, but a bit like a Hong Kong action movie borrowed to watch.
"Good! Hollywood action movies only stop at showing off muscles, don't you think it's too easy to get paid $20 million by showing off your muscles?"
If it was before, Cruise would definitely refute it, but seeing Li Lianjie's skills, he was convinced. Schwarzenegger's kind of fancy shelf is not even a scum! However, this also made Tom Cruise have another idea, "Ming, I admit that this kind of action movie will be extremely enjoyable to watch, but this is a modern society, and without the use of modern weapons, the movie will be very unreal." ”
What does this guy mean, how can Sun Ziming not hear it?
"That's why I brought you here, you're in charge of playing with guns and acting, and he's in charge of action scenes."
Tom Cruise hurriedly asked, "You mean, it's going to be a series?" ”
This Sun Ziming is also not sure, I don't know if the American audience can accept love. This is actually wearing the skin of Hollywood, which is the core of Hong Kong fashion action movies, and taking Tom out and replacing them with Lu Huiguang is a Hong Kong movie through and through.
"Wouldn't it? You are China Ming! ”
This is put on this film, Sun Ziming really didn't dare to accept it, and said with a wry smile: "Cruise, I make a movie in Hollywood, and "Sniper Phone Booth" is ninety percent sure that it will not lose money, because the production fee is too low. If it weren't for half of your salary as an investment, I wouldn't dare to shoot it, because I was afraid that the audience wouldn't be able to accept this type of action movie, and it would cost me money to shoot it! ”
"Che, does money still mean anything to you?"
It can't be said that Sun Ziming is so loved and hated in Hollywood, relying on a golden sign that never misses! Of course, these words can't be said to this guy.
"Money doesn't make sense, but success and failure still make sense."
"That's right, you're China Ming." Hey, you've been working on the late stages of Forrest Gump these days? Is the film good? ”
When it comes to this topic, Sun Ziming really didn't expect that he would also shoot "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", and only thought about "Forrest Gump", "It's early, it's a great movie, we have to do it slowly, we can't be sloppy at all!" ”
After chatting for a while, the machine was re-erected, and he made movements on the handrail of the stairs, but Sun Ziming didn't dare to hold it up at all and went to check it himself. This is a typical Mediterranean style building, looking down from the handrail of the staircase, the handrails below are more than 40 meters high, and people who fall down and don't catch it will definitely enter the morgue!
Lu Huiguang, who was in charge of the protection work, did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest, led Sun Ziming to inspect it, and explained: "Brother Ming, don't worry, if Ajie misses and falls, we will immediately open the protective net." We calculated that even if he didn't have any protective action, it would take two and a half seconds to fall, and we only needed one second! ”
Walking down another floor, Lu Huiguang pointed to the two martial artists holding the protective net in their hands and said, "Look, we are afraid that the impact will be too great, and we have set it up here." Here, below, and below, there are four floors, and as long as one layer plays a role, Applejack will be injured at most and will never fall. ”
After the inspection, Sun Ziming walked back to Li Lianjie, who was touching up his makeup, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jie, it won't work once, we can do it again, definitely don't force it." ”
"It's okay, I've trained in Hong Kong, it's just not that high."
"Okay, be careful", Sun Ziming pulled Tom and walked away, don't hinder the makeup artist from applying olive oil to Li Lianjie. Tom? Cruise looked at the bottom of the handrail, it was forty or fifty meters high, and he couldn't help but smash his tongue, if the audience could accept this movie, Schwarzenegger and their muscular men would have a hard time!
In fact, Sun Ziming is still too worried, Li Lianjie and they have been preparing for this movie for more than a year, and all the actions have been practiced countless times. As soon as the clapperboard was played, Li Lianjie jumped between the high handrails like a rabbit and made all kinds of movements in a dashing and neat manner, kicking, kicking, punching and kneeling, and after knocking down seven or eight gangsters, when the enemy raised his gun, he broke through the window at the corner and jumped into the protective net outside.
"Rest, go back in an hour!"
With the shouting of assistant director and photographer Liu Weiqiang, the members of the crew were relieved, filming such a high-risk action, which person's nerves were not collapsed?
Hearing Liu Weiqiang call to rest, Cameron and Drew, who were standing on the periphery, entered the arena and patted their ass in front of the master, "Teacher, you are amazing!" ”
"Hehe, if you practice more, you can do this", after Yuan Mei's teaching, Li Lianjie's stuffy melon is finally much stronger than before, and he can handle it easily in front of beautiful women. When only Miho Nakajima wiped his sweat for him, he looked at others a little embarrassed, but still let his girlfriend express her admiration.
After filming the scene that Sun Ziming stole from "Violent Block", the rest is not dangerous. When escaping and fighting on the escape ladder, Li Lianjie kicked a black boy down the stairs and fell on the protective net below, crying out in pain.
Lu Huiguang and a group of martial artists rushed up to check, and hurriedly called the ambulance next to them.
Sun Ziming was also startled, and hurriedly rushed over from behind the monitor, and said eagerly: "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Huiguang looked at Li Lianjie on the escape ladder and said with a wry smile: "The ribs made Ajie kick and break three of them, and it is estimated that the others also have bone cracks." ”
Sun Ziming glanced at Li Lianjie above, and hurriedly asked the drama to send someone to the hospital, but Li Rui next to him seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and jumped into the ambulance after taking the photo. Damn, this kid is the standard paparazzi, and I guess there will be gossip news tomorrow!
