Chapter 122: The Story of Bali (1)
Feng Zixi's pre-filming in [Resident Evil 2] is almost finished, and now most of the film crew is filming the heroine Milla Jovovich's scenes, so Feng Zixi got the opportunity to take a vacation, but he is the first vacation after coming to Canada, and the vacation will last until the end of November, almost a month. In fact, this is also the result of discussions between Feng Zixi's agency in the United States and the film crew, the early stage is mainly to shoot the scene of Carlos starring Feng Zixi, and the middle stage is the heroine Milla Jovovich, until Feng Zixi rushed back from South Korea, the rest of the part was made up.
Fortunately, the filming cycle of the entire [Resident Evil 2] takes about half a year, and the time is still relatively sufficient, so director Alexander Witt and producer and screenwriter Paul Anderson will agree. Otherwise, it would be impossible to give Feng Zixi such a long vacation, even if he is tired, he will not have it.
After Feng Zixi said goodbye to the new friends of the film crew, he met Quan Zhixun, who had just gotten off the plane, overnight, and took a flight to Indonesia.
Feng Zixi's plane arrived in Jakarta at noon, but he said that he would be able to rest, and he needed to join the crew immediately, meet the other actors in the play, and start filming immediately. Because the entire crew has only been in Indonesia for four days, and a day has passed, so they can't rest anymore.
Feng Zixi has carefully studied the script of "Bali's Story" in Canada as early as possible, and the actor he plays, Zheng Jaemin, is the same as Cha Chengjun in "Stairway to Heaven", both of whom are the sons of the chairman of a consortium. It's just that Cha Sung-jun and Jung Jae-min have a very big difference in personality and behavior.
Willful and willful, trying to get rid of repression, his personality is somewhat contradictory and chaotic, in a "materialistic" family, the people can't get love, and they don't expect to get it, so it's enough to spend money and be happy outside, family affection and love are not the necessities of his life. formed his cynical and decadent habits of living a leisurely life.
Rushed to the hotel, it happened that all the actors in the crew were eating, it was better to come early than to come by chance, director Cui Wenxi saw Feng Zixi who was in the dust, stood up and greeted him: "Zixi, we are here, come over quickly." β
"Hello Director Choi Moon-seok!" Feng Zixi always maintained good courtesy, and after bowing to Director Choi Moon-seok, he greeted screenwriters Kim Ki-ho and Lee Sun-mi who were sitting next to him: "Hello screenwriter Kim Ki-ho! Hello Lee Sun-mi, screenwriter! It's been a pleasure to work with you, please advise! β
"Huh! Zixi! Don't be polite, hurry up and do it, I'll introduce you to a few other actors. Director Choi Wen-seok beckoned Feng Zixi to sit on the other side of him, this is the two women and a man sitting opposite, both looking at this young man who is younger than himself but has become a star in the world with curious eyes.
"Hello Ha Ji Won senior! Hello Park Ye-jin seniors! Hello Su Ji-sub seniors! I'm Zixi, please give me a lot of advice! Without waiting for the director's acceptance, Feng Zixi already thought about bowing and saying hello to the three opposites, and called out their names.
"You know us?" Ha Ji Won pointed to himself and asked curiously.
"Of course, the three of them are all Zixi's seniors, and this time to work together, of course, you need to understand the past and experience of your predecessors." After Feng Zixi sat down, he listed the famous works of the three from their debut to the three of them, which surprised Ha Ji Won and Park Ye Jin.
Su Zhixie, who didn't speak much, glanced at Feng Zixi, and said with a smile: "Zixi! It's not going to be Ye-jin and Ji-won, right? Investigate the two of them so clearly, do you want to pursue them? ββ¦,
"Poof!" Feng Zixi spit out all the glass of coconut water he had just imported and imported, but fortunately he lowered his head and spit on the ground, otherwise the director next to him, Cui Wenxi, would have suffered. "Ahem, senior, you can't talk nonsense." Patting his chest, coughing so much that Feng Zixi even shed tears, he didn't expect Su Zhixie, who was a little taciturn at first impression, to be a master who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
"OPPA, what are you talking about?" Park Ye-jin was coquettish for a while, and her nasal voice made Su Ji-sub and Feng Zixie, who were sitting next to her, a little unbearable.
"Don't be coquettish to me, I don't eat this." So Ji-sub hurriedly stopped Park Ye-jin from continuing to be coquettish, and if he asked himself about the first point of resistance, Park Ye-jin would be able to afford goosebumps.
"Humph!" Park Ye-jin found that Su Ji-sub didn't eat her own set, and looked at Feng Zixi, so that the latter quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her again.
"Hehehe! I didn't expect Zixi to be so cute. Ha Ji Won smiled: "Zixi! You just got off the plane and rushed over, are you tired? β
"I'm not too tired, or I've always felt that I don't have enough time, and I want to turn twenty-four hours into forty-eight hours." Indeed, Feng Zixi's schedule is densely packed. After temporarily leaving the film crew of [Resident Evil 2], the work of returning to South Korea is even busier.
Ha Ji Won handed Feng Zixi a string of traditional Indonesian chicken skewers and asked, "Won't it be a film made in Hollywood, the pressure is too great, and the heart is tired, right?" β
"There must be pressure, in Hollywood, they have to pay attention to the rules and strength in everything they do, step by step, and never do things that violate the rules because of the show, because any violation may receive a lawyer's letter and summons." Feng Zixi remembered that when he joined the crew on the first day, many people looked at him with distrust. Fortunately, through his own efforts, he was recognized by the director, heroine and crew, otherwise life would be sad.
"Tell us about your filming in Hollywood, I'd like to hear about it. Here's this for you, moisten your throat. Ha Ji Won brought a cup of soy milk that had just been delivered to Feng Zixi. Others, including the director and screenwriter, Park Ye-jin and some other staff members at the table, all stopped their eating process and gathered around.
"In fact, filming in Hollywood is not as hard as in South Korea, they have an actors' union, which stipulates that the working hours shall not exceed eight hours a day, and if you need to work overtime, you must discuss with the actors, and you must make up the cost of overtime. In addition, whether it is to shoot explosions or shootouts, you need to apply in advance, and you must also invite professional blasters and fire monitoring to avoid accidents. Also, every actor and the producer buy insurance for them, whether it is a dangerous or not dangerous shot, they need to buy insurance to prevent accidents. Feng Zixi excitedly listed some of his common sense about Hollywood, as well as the differences between him and South Korean films, so that everyone listened to them with relish.
"It's no wonder that there are so many roads, I'm afraid that in South Korea, more than half of them are basically violating their operations." Ha Ji Won stretched out his little tongue and looked at director Choi Moon-seok.
"Don't look at me, Hollywood's reason why it can become the center of the world's cinema is because of these clauses that protect actors, so that all actors can work with peace of mind. As for Korean films, there is still a long way to go. But we are not bad, at least Zixi has walked out of the world and into the world, and there will be more and more Korean actors in the future who will go out of Asia. "Cui Wenxi said something like encouragement, or something clichΓ©d, and there is nothing new.
"Zixi! So is your [Resident Evil 2] finished? Park Ye-jin asked digressively.
"How can it be so fast, the budget for the filming cycle is about half a year, and in the two months since I joined the group, I have tried my best to shoot my scene, and I have only filmed less than half. And after shooting, it is necessary to make a trailer short film, so the work cycle will be longer. ββ¦,
"Teaser video? Isn't there to be seen soon? Ha Ji Won said.
"When I left the crew, the director and special effects artists were already in production, and I thought it would be a promotional short film as soon as this month, or as slow as December." Feng Zixi recalled that the director was still editing the shots in the studio late at night, and had to sigh that being a director was not an easy task.
"Huh! Then it should be possible to see Zixi's wonderful performance in [Resident Evil 2]. Su Ji-sub smiled and said: "Your performance in [Pirates of the Caribbean] is very exciting, I went to the theater to see it, the Brigadier Norrington performed is very good, and the acting skills are not worse than the two protagonists, which is great." Many viewers say that they go to the theater to watch your performance, and the results are generally very positive, and there are not many doubts on the Internet and newspapers. Su Ji-sub gave Feng Zixi a thumbs up.
"Really? Is it really well-acted? I haven't even seen my own show! "It's a joy to have your work, whether it's the protagonist or the supporting role, to be recognized.
"How could it be that you haven't seen it? That's a Hollywood blockbuster you participated in, and you actually said you hadn't seen it? Ha Ji Won looked incredulous.
Feng Zixi smiled bitterly and said, "I really haven't seen it yet." I went back to Korea after the filming, but I didn't show up when the film was made and the preview screening was held. When it came to the premiere, although I received an invitation, I was still filming "My Fair Lady" at the time, and I couldn't find time to go to the United States. When I went to Canada, I wanted to go to the theater, but I found that the painting had been lost. Hopefully, the movie will still be showing before I go back to Korea, otherwise I would have to rent a DVD to watch it. β
"Poor boy!" Ha Ji Won patted Feng Zixi's head and comforted. But then I felt funny, and laughed with Park Ye-jin Ha Ha Da Lu.
"Alright! All right! After eating, we will take a break, the afternoon will officially start shooting, tomorrow we will rush to Bali, time is limited, try to hurry up. Director Choi Moon-seok clapped his hands to stop everyone from continuing to fight and made them all ready to start.
Now this kind of atmosphere is the best, Feng Zixi quickly integrated into the crew, and did not produce too much separation. When he decided to use Zixi, director Choi Wenxi was also very apprehensive in his heart, after all, Feng Zixi is now a star in the world, will he be arrogant and arrogant because of the difference in identity with domestic actors?
But now it seems that Zixi is really as rumored by the outside world, he is sincere to people, polite, and knows how to respect his predecessors, and he is not arrogant because of his identity, but he is very easy to get along with. He and Ha Ji Won and So Ji Sub also just met today, but like good friends, they chatted very casually, and there was no arrogance at all. This is what Choi Wen-seok is most willing to see, after all, the four of them still need to cooperate for a while, and if there is internal discord, then the filming process will be more difficult.
