Chapter 365: "Allied Expendables" Cast Casting

The script of "The Expendables 2" still has to be handed over to Cheng Long's company, Yang Yun's phone called, and it happened that the script of "Tomb Raider 1 - China Prequel" had already come out of the first draft, and Cheng Long simply decided to send the script over in person, and visited Longteng headquarters by the way.

Yang Yun didn't feel anything about Cheng Long's achievements, but these employees were very excited, and the international movie superstar Cheng Long came to visit, what a great honor! And you don't have to chase stars all over the world, other stars come directly to their own companies to take the initiative to let themselves chase, this feeling, don't be too cool!

When Cheng Long walked down from the Longteng VIP business car, he was greeted by dozens of movie fans, and there was only one media from the Beijing Youth Daily, fans and reporters were quite restrained, sending flowers and taking pictures, there was no screaming or crazy pulling, people's expressions were excited, but the movements were extremely restrained, making the whole feel like going through the motions.

The eldest brother had never seen any scenes, and he felt very strange in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged and followed Zhao Yongping to the building, in a place where there were few people, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "These are your employees of Longteng?" How different from the average movie fan! ”

Zhao Yongping led the way in front and explained as he walked: "Longteng employees are calm and calm, and they don't need to show their faces when chasing stars, you can rest assured, their love for you is definitely beyond your imagination!" ”

Sure enough, beyond Cheng Long's imagination, a table of videotapes, posters, and photos in the VIP lounge was waiting for him to sign it, and Zhao Yongping laughed: "They will support you with practical actions, not only watch your movies, but also buy your video tapes to treasure." And it's all genuine! The employees of Longteng are fans of rationality and are very busy at work. People can't all come and see you, so we've gathered their personal belongings. I'll hand over your signature! ”

Cheng Long couldn't cry or laugh, and muttered while waving his pen: "Are people who are engaged in IT so rigid?" What a bunch of weirdos......"

"That's because geniuses are weirdos!" Yang Yun's voice came from behind, and he came over with a few people, hugged Cheng Long, and said with a smile: "Tsk, the eldest brother is really handsome and extraordinary, Kong Wu is powerful!" Not bad! Gives you the role of a driver! ”

"What driver?" Cheng Long greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands, and by the way, he asked his assistant to send the script, leaned over and said, "Brother." Hurry up and tell me the idea of this Expendables 2 game, my heart is itching right now! ”

Yang Yun said: "The game type is still a little different from "The Expendables 1", the hot scenes in 1 are the theme, gunfights, explosions, drag racing, and none of the essential elements of Hollywood commercial films have been left behind!" But in 2, you need to play stealth and play combat strategy. Playing Secret Infiltration is equivalent to changing the style, is this feasible? ”

Cheng Long said: "Logically speaking, two different styles. It's not easy to make a sequel, especially if the game and the movie complement each other, it's better to continue. Let's start with the details. Ah Kun is the screenwriter, let's listen to it together! ”

Ah Kun nodded slightly beside him. Yang Yun didn't care, and took out a stack of plans. Flipping through the first few pages, he said, "We've sorted out the framework of the game in the past two days, and now it's up to you to get to the backstory." ”

Ah Kun and Cheng Long watched it very carefully together, Yang Yun added the explanation on the side, and by the way, he corresponded to the sketches of the levels drawn in his hands one by one, and soon, everyone understood his thoughts.

Cheng Long's three of them pondered for a while, and Ah Kun took the lead in speaking: "Mr. Yang, I remember that the biggest feature of Longteng Games is that there are many CG animations, a complete plot, and high continuity, right?" ”

Yang Yun nodded: "It's true that there are many CG animations, but it's not necessarily the continuity that is high, and I feel that I can't connect the expendables 1 and 2." ”

Ah Kun laughed: "Why can't you connect?" Wouldn't it be possible to make the CG animation of each level into a hot scene in the movie content? The game plays with tactical details, and the movie is more focused on hot scenes! ”

Cheng Long also came to his senses, patted Yang Yun on the shoulder and said, "Brother, this trick is feasible!" The exciting scenes of the movie are done by us, and the main line is dragged out in 2 hours. If fans want to dig deeper into the details of the characters, they can experience it in the form of playing games, and a small number of shots that are not in the movie can be shown through the guò game, so that the movie and the game are combined. ”

Yang Yun didn't know much about film shooting, and asked suspiciously: "Is it really okay to do this?" You are all all-rounders in 1, all gunners, gunners or something, all of them are heroic missions with one as ten. In 2, you will become a team member with their own stunts, from highlighting heroes to paying attention to team strategy, is this really possible? ”

Cheng Long laughed: "If I say yes, I will definitely do it!" It's up to me, and the script will be available to you soon, but you'll have to change a few characters for me. ”

Yang Yun didn't immediately agree, and asked, "How to modify?" ”

Cheng Long and Ah Kun discussed on the side in Cantonese for a while, and after coming to a conclusion, they said: "It's no problem to hand over the beret to Stallone, just leave it to me." Also, I want Lee to play the role of a sniper, so I hope you can add his hand-to-hand combat skills. ”

The snipers in the original game are indeed a bit wasteful, and can only fight enemies on high platforms, but they don't dare to kill people at will, because if they can't deal with the corpses, they will attract more patrols, which is asking for trouble.

If you add melee combat...... Yang Yun saw a smile in Cheng Long's eyes, and sure enough, Cheng Long said: "I work hard in Hollywood alone, and I always feel a little weak, Li Lianlian is only 31 years old this year, and it's a good thing to carry him!" If you feel it's affecting the balance of the game, forget it! ”

Yang Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's no problem for snipers to increase their skills, as long as your movie can handle this problem, I don't care." It is best to carry Li to connect, if it were not for the characteristics of Hollywood commercial films, these 6 people could all be Chinese! ”

Everyone laughed, there is only Cheng Long in the Expendables 1, and now there is another Li Link in the Expendables 2, and he is still partnered with Stallone, the absolute protagonist, which is only good for their fame and no harm!

Cheng Long continued: "In addition, the sailor of the Marine Corps, I think there are a lot of roles in this scene, I want to choose Bruce Willis, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yun's expression moved slightly: "You ...... Ever heard of Jason Statham? ”

Cheng Long looked at Ah Kun, who spread his hands, and no one had heard of this person.

Before asking, Yang Yun felt that it should be inappropriate, so he didn't say anything affirmatively, because he had the impression that Jason Statham was very young, and he didn't know if he was a registered actor in Hollywood now.

Since this handsome guy hasn't appeared yet, let's regret put it aside for now.

"What about the sappers?"

Cheng Long laughed: "Can you leave a place for Arnold Schwarzenegger?" ”

Yang Yun smiled dumbly: "Let the governor play the sapper?" Oh no! ”

Now Schwarzenegger is not a governor, he is now a hot superstar in Hollywood, the male number one of the Terminator series, no less than Stallone!

"What governor?" Everyone was stunned.

Yang Yun hurriedly waved his hand, embarrassed to cover up the past.

"Oh my God! Big brother, how many superstars are you going to invite over? There are 6 people in total, Stallone as a beret, you as a driver, Schwarzenegger as a sapper, Lee Link as a sniper, Bruce Willie as a sailor, and who else is a spy? Let the handsome guy Brad Pitt come? Or let Nicolas Cage come? Yang Yun feels excited when he thinks about it, these people can be the male number one in any movie, and now they form a group of 6 people, that feeling, as well as the cost of the movie, should it be so terrifying?

Cheng Long laughed: "Brother! After our first "The Expendables 1" was broadcast, do you know how many Hollywood movie stars approached us for a second part? It doesn't matter, let's choose someone here first, and as for whether we can make an appointment, we'll talk about it then. I just don't think there are enough of these people, 6 people are too few, and you forgot one thing, in a successful Hollywood action commercial movie, there must be female characters! ”

Yang Yun opened the plan behind him and said proudly: "There are still a few characters!" One is the liaison codenamed 'Red Lips', a beautiful and noble lady who is good at socializing and is the best person to spy on intelligence and pass on information! The other is a thief codenamed 'Lentil', short and concise, light as a swallow, and an expert in lockpicking, in fact, I think the role of the thief will be more suitable for Li Lian, so let John Travolta play the sniper, I love his new movie "Pulp Fiction" so much! ”

Everyone laughed, this Yang Yun just said that it was impossible to invite big-name stars, and he added a few more roles, and even the candidates were selected for them......

laughed in a hurry, and finally reached an agreement, and passed the resolution of the movie "The Expendables 2", the script was handed over to Cheng Long's company for confirmation, and the candidates were also invited by Cheng Long and Stallone separately, trying to choose big-name hard-core male stars, and even Yang Yun couldn't help but add in the end: "If it's really bad, help me find a guy named Jason Statham, that guy is really handsome!" If he hadn't made it to Hollywood, big brother, you'd have to sign him! ”

It took a long time for everyone to turn the conversation to Tomb Raider.

Looking at the script handed over by Cheng Long, Yang Yun said embarrassedly in his heart: "I'm sorry, big brother, I robbed you of the creative ...... of the "Zodiac" movie 20 years later."

How did Cheng Long know that there was such a thing? He said: "Julie is indeed a good actor, although young, but with a high level of understanding. This is a movie script adapted from the game, you take a look at it first, and Ah Kun will help you explain. If there is no problem, we will shoot as much as possible. Maybe when the filming of Tomb Raider is finished, I can continue to shoot The Expendables 2 after the New Year next year, and I feel like I have seen another blockbuster movie! (To be continued......)
