"Tiger, is this the place?"

After getting off the battery car of the studio, Yuan Heping and a martial artist, in the apprentice tiger? Under Chen's guidance, he walked into the huge studio.

This place has been arranged to look like a martial arts gym, although in Yuan Heping's opinion, it is a bit nondescript, but thinking that the other party is just a group of ghosts, it is not easy to do this.

Tiger? Chen is different, he has been in the United States for many years, and occasionally deals with Hollywood crews, so he is more familiar with this side, and under the introduction of him and an agent, he has exchanged a few words with the main members of the crew, including two directors, and can be regarded as acquaintances.

Yuan Heping carefully observed Yiqiē, and the crew treated them very kindly and politely.

Since the main actors had not yet arrived, everyone sat on the side, chatting about their respective topics, Yuan Heping looked at this huge studio, and couldn't help but think of the invitation he accepted.

A few months ago, people from Paramount Pictures' Hong Kong branch, with several staff members who claimed to be Jenkins Films, approached him and extended an invitation to him to become the film's assistant director and action director.

Actually, after seeing Ryan? When Jenkins signed the formal invitation, he was immediately intrigued, especially after hearing that the film was a big investment with a total investment of more than $300 million.

Even if this is a trilogy, on average, there are $100 million in funds for each movie, which is an astronomical amount for a small Hong Kong movie.

Hollywood is the center of the world film industry, how many filmmakers in Hong Kong don't want to go there? Jack? Chan and the White Dove? Wu was also successful over there. only then did it determine its position in the world film industry.

What's more, as a veteran filmmaker, he can't see that Hong Kong films are declining rapidly, and the collapse is only a matter of a few years.

The ripple effect of "Jurassic Park" was huge, and after the release of "Titanic" this year, Hong Kong audiences completely understood what a real luxury masterpiece is, while local movies were in mourning.

In fact, Yuan Heping understands that this is a very normal phenomenon, and it is very difficult for Hong Kong to invest more than 10 million yuan, and it takes several weeks to make a shoddy movie. What to take against Hollywood's supermajors?

But. Hong Kong movies also have their own advantages, especially action scenes, compared to the martial arts instructors here, Hollywood's action directors. It's simply the level of a kindergarten.

After a short period of consideration. Yuan Heping agreed to the other party's invitation. Originally, he wanted to open his mouth and ask for a huge reward, but later he asked for a huge payment. Chen inquired about the other party's situation. The original offer of $2 million was changed to $1 million.

Even so, in later negotiations, the other side reduced the price to $500,000.

Suddenly, there was a sound of greeting at the door of the studio, and seeing the young man walking in the front, the corner of Yuan Heping's eyes jumped, the other party is so famous, even people like him who don't watch Hollywood movies much know him.

Frankly speaking, Hong Kong films have today's predicament, and the other party can be called one of the culprits, after all, "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" are both planned and invested by him, and in a certain way, it is these two films that have changed the market and status of Hong Kong films in the Far East.

Of course, this can only be thought about, Yuan Heping still remembers, when Jack? Chen heard that it was Ryan who sent him the invitation? Jenkins after those words.

Ryan? Jenkins is not only a Hollywood superstar, nor is he the largest shareholder of Jenkins Films, he has an extraordinary position in Hollywood, not only on an equal footing with the giants of several major Hollywood studios, but also has a net worth of more than two billion dollars, and the films he leads are guaranteed to be blockbusters.

If you can join his film project, you can definitely enter Hollywood as much as possible, and even get an extraordinary status, the white dove who became popular after "Changing Face"? Wu is the best proof of this.

After Yuan Heping came here, he also asked someone to check the relevant information, and when he saw the well-known movies and the huge box office figures behind, he completely understood, why Jack? Chan said about the white dove? Wu Shi's tone was full of envy.

Being able to stay here and develop and earn foreign devils' dollars is much better than nesting in that small place in Hong Kong! This is Yuan Heping's most direct thought.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the young man who was walking over was completely different from what he thought.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan."

Looking at this guy with a pimple on his face, Ryan shook his outstretched hand and said casually, "I have long heard that Mr. Yuan is a leader in the Hong Kong film industry." ”

The other party replied a few words in stumbling English, but Ryan didn't care, but was attracted by a guy next to him.

Isn't this Keanu? Was Reeves a good friend in his previous life?

"Hi, Tiger."

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Tiger? Chen was obviously a little surprised, he didn't expect this famous figure in Hollywood to know him, "I really didn't expect ......"

"Didn't expect me to know you?" Ryan laughed, "I've heard of you a long time ago, you've won the All-American Karate Championship, right?" ”

Since it was the first time he appeared on the set, Ryan simply said hello to the main cast and crew, most of whom were acquaintances, only the director siblings were relatively strangers.

Yes...... No, one of them is still Laddie? Wachowski, not yet Lana? Wachowski.

"Actually, Ryan, in the late eighties, my brother and I had some similar thoughts, just very simple ideas, and then we realized that your short novella was far more creative than ours when the ideas matured."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, sat on the chair on the side, Andy? Wachowski was visibly emotional.

"So, I ask you to ...... Laddie directed this film, and it was simply too right. Ryan said nonchalantly.

Ryan not only invited the original director, but in addition to Nicole, even several of the main actors followed the original team, Keanu? Reeves, Lawrence? Fishburne, Hugo? Vivian and so on.

In the temporarily renovated practice ground, they are wearing white practice clothes, accepting the ravages of those martial artists, and the actors with dance or movement skills can only enjoy the torment.

You know, Ryan gave the movie a three-month training period.

In addition, he has asked people to contact major manufacturers such as mobile phones, sunglasses, windbreakers, and computers, and if the operation is done well, the embedded advertising revenue of the film can even recover about half of the cost.

This is not the dilemma of filming in his previous life, the craze of "Titanic" has not gone down, and his golden sign is now extremely loud.

After exchanging some opinions with the Wachowski brothers on the film, Ryan walked to the side of the practice field, holding his chest with one hand and his chin in the other, admiring the tragic situation of several actors.

Nicole is slightly better, after all, she has quite a lot of dancing skills, and some movements are not very difficult to do, Ryan has a deep understanding of this, sometimes the two are too excited, and Nicole will use some super difficult movements.

Nicole, who was pressing her legs, suddenly looked over and glared at him covertly.

Compared to Nicole? Kidman, Keanu with a lot of action scenes in the film? Kievis and Hugo? Vivian, that can only be described as sad, the two of them not only have sad faces, but also let out a howl from time to time, which looks really miserable.

Yuan Heping always stood aside, and had no intention of ending up, and his main work was basically a tiger? Chen was in charge, and sometimes, he would call his apprentices aside and give them something in Cantonese.

Although it was not intentional, Ryan keenly captured some of the words, perhaps because he did not expect that there were still people here who could understand the local dialect of Chinese, and the other party's voice was not too low.

Hearing Yuan Heping's frequent mention of 'keeping a little', Ryan could only shake his head, there was nothing wrong with leaving the housekeeping skills, but their idea was a little naïve, this is Hollywood, the world cinema center that is best at absorbing and learning from the strengths of other cultures.

The fanaticism and dependence of filmmakers here on technology is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

According to the general practice, Hollywood action directors, when filming movies, will not only carefully observe the movements of these martial artists, but also use cameras to shoot them, and analyze them frame by frame after they go back, they don't even need to learn anything profound, and the fur analyzed is enough to deal with Hollywood-style action movies.

Besides, will kung fu movies become the mainstream of Hollywood? That's just a dream, and it's only going to be popular for a few years at most.

When Hollywood's action directors grow up and completely turn kung fu-style movements into part of the Hollywood assembly line, these teams from Hong Kong can only go home.

The reason is simple, there is xenophobia everywhere, and the cost of Hollywood assembly-line action direction will be lower.

In fact, when these people set foot on this land, no matter what they do, the future is already predestined, the only difference is how many dollars they can earn from here.

After all, in the next few years, Chinese kung fu will still have a lot of market value.

"Hey, Keanu, that scream of yours is probably over two hundred decibels!"

Walking to the rest area, Ryan laughed at Keanu? Reeves, the latter grimacing, "Ryan, I regret agreeing to you to star in this movie now." ”

"So you're going to break the contract?" Ryan sat down next to Nicole, "Are you ready to break the contract?" ”

Keanu? Reeves could only wave his hand vigorously in protest.

"I regret it now, Ryan." Nicole whispered suddenly.

"Why?"

"Not only do I have to dye my hair black, but I also have to cut it short." Nicole stroked her long golden-brown hair, very reluctant. (To be continued......)
