Chapter 773: Training
“…… Haha, it's just luck. ”
In and Richard? When Feynman was on the phone, Sun Peng also smiled with some surprise: "Actually, I know very few stars in Hollywood, and the actor's words are Michael?" Pitt and this Lynch? Hanks too. Mainly because I had watched the TV series he starred in before, and I thought it seemed quite appropriate for Neo's image, and then I confirmed this after meeting the real person...... It's just that what I didn't expect was that you also thought he was suitable? ”
For Sun Peng's faintly doubtful question, Richard? Feynman said with a smile: "Hehe, the acting skills are good, and the temperament is also in line with the positioning of the protagonist, so the director thinks it is quite suitable." And this Mr. Hanks's salary is not high, because the ratings of the TV series he starred in are not good, and his agent only offered a price of $2.6 million, and he can even talk about it......"
“……”
Hear Richard? Feynman's words, Sun Peng was speechless.
People are better than people, it's really infuriating!
He wrote the script of "The Matrix", and did not hesitate to threaten it with his own investment and filming, so that these people agreed to let Lin Lin play the heroine and Lang Chen appear as the villain. But when talking about the salary in the end, no matter how loud Sun Ya slapped the table, Sun Peng hinted several times that Shakelu Pictures gave a salary of $1.6 million, and he refused to add a dime more! As for the little wolf, in order to get the opportunity to star this time, the agent can even agree to an offer of $500,000......
And the result, this Lynch? Hanks was able to take more than two million?
And listen to Richard? Feynman's meaning seems to be that other actors have not mixed well recently, so in order to get this opportunity, the agent deliberately lowered the requirements!
"Hoo ......"
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Sun Peng exhaled a long breath.
No way, this is the so-called situation is stronger than people. Perhaps in Sun Peng's opinion, Lin Lin, who starred in the two popular dramas "Criminal Minds" and "Super Sense Detective", must be better than Lynch, who only has one "Death Walker"? Hanks wants to be famous, and has the bonus of Huaxia, the first market, and the salary should be well-deserved first; But for Richard? For Hollywood people like Feynman, before domestic actors, it is a matter of course that Chinese actors are good and cheap!
Even Sun Ya and Lang Chen seemed to be accustomed to this.
Only Sun Peng was very unhappy in his heart, although the small salary he gave meant that he could invest more money in production, which was definitely a good thing for him, a "capitalist", but ......
"In this way, the main characters should be all together!"
Just when Sun Peng's face kept changing, Richard? Feynman said with a smile: "The contracts of the director and producer have also been signed, and now there are some small supporting roles...... Sun, if everything goes well, I think filming will start in March or April, right? ”
"March or April? Of course not! ”
This time, Sun Peng's answer was extremely fast, and he shook his head almost without hesitation.
"Uh, why?"
"Because all actors have to go through rigorous training!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng said with a very firm attitude: "Mr. Feynman, you must know that our film is not only a science fiction film, but also a science fiction film that integrates Chinese martial arts!" In my eyes, if this part of the content is missing, then it will be at least half as attractive! Do you understand? It's at least half! So in order to make this movie well, all the main actors have to go through rigorous training......"
"Chinese martial arts? Is it your kung fu movie that was very popular in China for a while? ”
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Richard? Feynman was stunned.
When I read Sun Peng's script of "The Matrix" before, although there are also wonderful fight descriptions in it, but Richard? Feynman always thought that he was taking the route of sci-fi action movies, and he never thought about Chinese kung fu movies! And the so-called Chinese kung fu films, haven't they already declined - about this, he who often pays attention to the Chinese film market knows it!
Could it be ......
A possibility suddenly came to mind, Richard? Feynman said hurriedly: "Sun, you don't want to make "The Matrix" into the style of "Dragon Gate Inn", right? Oh my God, that's a disaster! ”
Remembering Laobai's film debut, Richard? Feynman panicked for a while.
It is undeniable that it was indeed a very wonderful movie, when the person Laobai was first researched Richard? Feynman specifically looked at it on the Internet. Although he doesn't understand the plot very well, the action design that looks super cool is absolutely wonderful, and he was stunned for a while.
But......
That kind of action can really be used in a science fiction movie? Can it be performed by a group of Westerners?
Sorry, he doesn't think so!
For Richard? Feynman was in a hurry, but Sun Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Feynman, of course I won't apply it so bluntly!" But trust me, that kind of action design is also very suitable for modern films, including sci-fi films, and in fact, the action design in my new movie coming out a month later is completely different from "Dragon Gate Inn", if you watch it, you will understand! ”
"Hmm...... Is it "Kill Bill"? ”
Obviously, Richard? Feynman knew Sun Peng quite well.
"Yes, Kill Bill!"
With a twinkle in his eyes, Sun Peng chuckled and said, "The Huaxia Film Company I worked with has already secured your American distributor, and it will be released in the United States a little later, so you can take a look at it then." ”
"Hehe, that's definitely going to see."
Without any hesitation, Richard? Feynman threw down a polite remark.
He was still a little skeptical about Sun Peng's thoughts, but after a little consideration, Richard? Feynman continued: "Sun, if you let the actors train for a month, I don't think it will affect anything......"
"No, no, at least three months!"
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Sun Peng hurriedly interjected: "Mr. Feynman, three months of martial arts training is only the most basic requirement, in fact, if time permits, I even want to arrange more than half a year for them...... You have to know that with such a huge investment, I don't want to make a four-like film. ”
"Three months? Is this necessary? ”
After listening to Sun Peng's words, Richard? Feynman's tone was a little unhappy.
"Trust me, it's absolutely necessary!"
Nodding, Sun Peng said in a deep voice: "Mr. Feynman, I have designed a whole set of great actions for "The Matrix", and it is definitely the kind that fits the theme of science fiction very well!" And in order to achieve these movements, you must train...... If you doubt that, Mr. Feynman, you can see the action with your own eyes......"
