From the 25th, "Rush Hour 3" began official filming.

In the first few days, most of the scenes filmed by the crew were Cheng Long and Chris Tucker, and Zhang Chengyuan only occasionally appeared in front of the camera, but this does not mean that Zhang Chengyuan has nothing to do. In the past few days, he has been observing the operation process and shooting characteristics of Hollywood film crews, and figuring out the acting methods of Hollywood actors, so that when his role starts, he can complete various shooting tasks quickly and smoothly according to the director's requirements.

In the same way as him, there is also Zhang Jingchu, the two stay together almost from morning to night, carefully studying the details of what they see, hear, and feel in the filming process, and discussing each other's illnesses. If they have free time, they will recite and rehearse their lines on the side, figuring out the characters; And leisure things like travel and visits, they haven't done it since the movie started. Their dedication and hard work, all the members of the crew saw in their eyes and praised them a lot, so every morning after seeing them, they would nod and smile or say hello loudly to show their friendliness!

After a few more days, the filming of Zhang Chengyuan's scene began.

In this movie, Jang Sung-won plays a leader of an ancient gangster organization "Triad", sometimes a killer, and is the first villain in the film, called Kim Andong. This character has a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Cheng Long's character Inspector Li, who is the son of Inspector Li's sworn brother. When he was fifteen years old, his father died, and before he died, he was entrusted to the care of Inspector Lee, but because Inspector Li was too busy with work and neglected to take care of him, Jin Andong accidentally went astray, secretly joined the triad, and suddenly left Inspector Li at the age of 20, and has not been in contact with Inspector Li since. And when the two met again, ten years had passed, and the two were already in a hostile relationship.

In the film, the relationship between Inspector Li and Jin Anton is a little complicated, Inspector Li has long regarded Jin Anton as his own son, in addition, after Jin Anton suddenly disappeared, Inspector Li had desperately tracked down the whereabouts of Jin Anton, and when he learned that he was lured into the triad, he felt deeply guilty, and felt that he did not educate him well, which caused Jin Anton to become a member of the underworld. Therefore, when the two sides were on opposite sides, Inspector Li repeatedly showed mercy to Jin Anton's subordinates, and desperately hoped to lead Jin Andong back to the right path.

And Jin Anton also has a lot of feelings for Inspector Li, subconsciously regarded him as a second father, although he was extremely cold to him on the surface, but in his heart he never forgot his nurturing grace, so he never went all out to deal with him, and even in the fight between the most rearly Eiffel Tie, Jin Anton gave up the opportunity to die with Inspector Li and took the initiative to die, leaving Inspector Li with a little life.

This setting is a screenwriter Jeff Nesanson after seeing Zhang Chengyuan's appearance, acting skills and skills, in order to conform to Zhang Chengyuan's characteristics and deliberately made changes, the original version is not like this, but this can't be helped, the original version is based on Tony. Jia was set because the director originally wanted to invite him to join. Later Tony. Jia refused to act, and the crew invited Shange Yunton again, and the screenwriter changed the script. After that, Shangge Yunton withdrew from the crew for other reasons, and it was Zhang Chengyuan's turn to join the last. But apparently, the settings of the first two versions did not match Zhang Chengyuan, so they had to be modified again.

It is conceivable that if the role of this villain is played by another actor, such as the Japanese actor Sanada Hiroyuki who the crew once wanted to invite and wanted to invite, then there will definitely be new changes to the script. Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan's image and skills are better, and he was strongly recommended by Cheng Long to get this role, which also made the setting of the villain in the script finally changed to what it is now.

Zhang Chengyuan's scenes in Paris are mainly with Cheng Long, in addition to the scenes, there are also two or three literary scenes.

There is nothing difficult for Zhang Chengyuan in literary drama, and Hollywood actors do not necessarily have anything unique in terms of acting skills, but the way of acting is a little different from other countries, which he can cope with as long as he pays a little attention.

For Asian actors, the biggest difficulty in filming in Hollywood is the language problem, for example, Cheng Long often encounters big trouble in this regard, and some very similar English pronunciation is too awkward for him, often making him dizzy, and he feels that it is much more difficult than filming action scenes.

But this is not a problem at all for Zhang Chengyuan, although his English is only self-taught, but with a strong memory and imitation ability, his English is even more fluent than most Americans, and it is standard, no matter what kind of English lines he can memorize very quickly, and express and interpret them fluently and emotionally. Therefore, literary drama is almost no difficulty for Zhang Chengyuan. Of course, this is also because his role in this movie, Jin Andong, is not very demanding in terms of literature and drama.

However, in terms of action scenes, although Zhang Chengyuan is skilled, he has very little relevant filming experience, after all, it is difficult for the Korean film and television industry to be elegant in action scene shooting, and he has basically never been exposed to real action scenes before, so he naturally cannot cultivate this experience.

So at the beginning, he behaved quite jerky and made a lot of small mistakes, such as not wearing safety equipment, such as losing balance when hanging the tightrope, such as using too much force, etc. Fortunately, Cheng Long often tried his best to guide him, and he was extremely adaptable, so he quickly mastered the tricks and gradually gained a deep understanding of Hollywood action scenes.

In addition, although Zhang Chengyuan is a little lacking in action scene experience, the quality he shows in many aspects has shocked many professionals, including Cheng Long. For example, his superhuman comprehension, outstanding skills, and extraordinary courage.

When it comes to comprehension, he knows everything and knows everything, if he encounters something he doesn't understand during filming, and others explain it a little, he can understand it clearly, and even draw inferences, and sometimes he can come up with good ideas that surprise Jackie Chan and others.

Speaking of skills, not long after entering the crew, all the people who came to him for advice couldn't pass three tricks in his hands, and this was because of his mercy. Of course, Cheng Long is not included among these people. At this time, Cheng Long, who is getting older and better, has long since extinguished the idea of competing with others, and he also knows that he is old and cannot be Zhang Chengyuan's opponent, so he will never go to Zhang Chengyuan to fight outside of practicing martial arts, so as not to be bored.

Speaking of Zhang Chengyuan's courage, when filming action scenes at the Eiffel Tower, everyone can get a glimpse or two. When all the crew and actors are preparing for safety measures at an altitude of tens or even hundreds of meters, even the most daring people must be cautious and raise their spirits, for fear of accidentally falling and falling to pieces. It's highly unlikely, but it's still scary.

is Cheng Long, a person with rich experience in high-altitude theater, although he seems to be casual on the surface, sometimes when he looks down, he can't help but feel weak.

Only Zhang Chengyuan is not in the same place, on the steel and iron skeleton outside the Eiffel Tower, when standing, he is as stable as Mount Tai; When moving, take it easy; Occasionally, when I look down, I am also interested, as if I have seen something interesting, that kind of indifferent and calm look, so that people can see that it is not pretending, and it is not the kind of indifference that puts life and death out of the degree, but more like self-confidence, confident that even if he falls, he will not die or hurt him.

This is somewhat confusing, but to put it bluntly, there is nothing unusual, because although Zhang Chengyuan can't fly away like in his previous life, but with the majestic true qi of his whole body and the "light body technique" of ancient martial arts, he can still fall from a height of several hundred meters without serious injury, at most he suffers a little bit of flesh and skin, but the pain of flesh and skin is no different from itching for him. It is with this idea that he does not take aerial work to heart, and he seems extremely calm.

Of course, for Zhang Chengyuan, filming action scenes is still a bit troublesome, mainly reflected in two aspects, one is the rehearsal of martial arts, and the other is safety measures.

Rehearsal refers to the formal filming of an action scene, to practice constantly and practice well, so that you can save a lot of time during filming. It's just that although he saves a lot of shooting time, he usually has to pay a lot of practice, which is something that Zhang Chengyuan can't avoid many times.

Although he was able to master the movements taught by the martial arts in a short period of time, the fight scenes were not something that could be done by one person, and his opponents needed to cooperate, which required him to practice with his opponents, which was much more difficult than his personal practice, because others did not have his ability to learn it as soon as he learned it.

Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan's opponent in the movie this time is mainly Cheng Long, a kung fu superstar, he is extraordinary, experienced, and quite compatible with Zhang Chengyuan, so Zhang Chengyuan is naturally much easier to practice with him, and it doesn't take long to practice, and he can practice very proficiently.

In comparison, the safety measures to be prepared when filming action scenes are even more troublesome, and many actors, including Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan, have a headache. If you are filming on the external structure of the Eiffel Tower, it is better to take perfect safety precautions, after all, it is too dangerous, except for Zhang Chengyuan, no one dares to take it lightly; However, filming inside the tower, which has a fairly high safety factor, often has to do very detailed safety measures, and there are special safety supervisors to watch, and the staff and actors are not allowed to be negligent. This is not only time-consuming, laborious, and labor-intensive, but also affects the mood of the actors filming.

Not only that, but for safety reasons, the safety supervisors appointed by the insurance company did not allow the crew to shoot too dangerous action scenes. Cheng Long once wanted to shoot an action scene jumping directly from the height of the Eiffel Tower, and suggested live shooting, but the insurance company felt that it was too dangerous, refused to live or die, and strongly resisted. Cheng Long was very annoyed by this, because before that, he still had a lot of action ideas, which were also rejected by the insurance company on the grounds of consent.

When Zhang Chengyuan asked Cheng Long, "Are you so troublesome every time you shoot an action scene?" At that time, Cheng Long smiled slightly wryly: "That is, filming in Hollywood will be like this!" When I was filming action scenes in Hong Kong, I didn't have to worry about it, and of course the safety aspect might be a little lower, but I have my own team of martial arts stunts, and they have a lot of experience, so they can shoot action scenes very quickly, and they can also ensure safety, which is much more efficient than Hollywood! If you have the opportunity, go to Hong Kong or Chinese mainland to film with me. ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded again and again, and agreed, he couldn't ask for it to be able to film on Chinese soil!
