Zhou Zhen is a face-painted character in this movie, so there is no need for any character analysis at all, as long as it is cool enough and energetic.

However, a newcomer tends to act distorted in front of the camera and unconsciously looks at the camera.

As soon as Zhou Zhen became a background wall, he often couldn't help but want to look at the camera, but he controlled it well every time.

It's not difficult to just pretend to be cold, and Zhou Zhen has completed the task well.

In the past, everyone didn't think it, but now when they see Zhou Zhen's performance, they all feel that his image is too suitable for acting in movies.

That Jamie King, a former supermodel and one of the popular stars, has recently treated Zhou Zhen differently.

Of course, it's not the love of men and women, she is the mother of two children, but she just likes to tease Zhou Zhen, the little wolf dog.

filmed for several days in a row, and finally arrived at Zhou Zhen's leading role.

Before the start of filming, Miller told Zhou Zhen about the rhythm of the camera, where to go, and what kind of expression to use to look at the camera, which is very particular.

Especially the supporting roles, there is no time to give the audience time to accept, so the limited few shots, how the emotions progress, are all particular.

As for the play, it was originally designed by Zhou Zhen, Stallone, and Remy, and they didn't need Miller to worry about it.

Playing the role of ZZ with Rambo's emotions, Zhou Zhen hardly needs acting skills.

And the action scenes are even more clean and neat, and the fights are wonderful.

It is estimated that the first fight scene of a day, Zhou Zhen only took half a day to finish filming, except for the delay of reshooting facial expressions and applying makeup to his face, almost no wasted shots.

At noon, Stallone walked over and nodded to Assistant Xiaoliang, who was sitting next to Zhou Zhen, and he immediately took his lunch box and went to other locations.

"Zhou, are you interested in participating in other movies? Not a small supporting role, but a main character. ”

"Sylvester, let's talk about the salary first!"

Stallone smiled in surprise and said, "I thought you weren't short of money." ”

Zhou Zhen has been in the crew for a month, and before the start of filming, he designed martial arts actions with Stallone, and after the filming started, he needed to hold meetings every day, so he was already familiar with it.

Zhou Zhen's family background also knows that he is not a master who is short of money.

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Because there are too many choices, I have not been sure about the direction of the future. However, I hope you can convince me with your salary. ”

Stallone laughed, thought for a moment and said, "I'm planning to make two movies, both of which have roles that are suitable for you, and if I can, I hope to settle it now." ”

Zhou Zhen looked at him and didn't speak, Stallone didn't know why, looking at the young man in front of him was pleasing to the eye.

He didn't choose to sell Guanzi, but said frankly: "One movie is the third part of this movie, starring me and the governor, you can play the third role, and the salary is 500,000." The other movie is the fourth part of "The Expendables", you can replace the role of Jett Lee, but in that movie, I can only pay you 200,000 yuan. ”

Zhou Zhen knows the reason, "Golden Cicada Shell 3" Stallone is only the starring role, and "The Expendables 4" He is not only the star, director, but also the producer.

One is someone else's movie, it doesn't matter how much you get paid, and the other is invested by yourself, of course, the less money you give, the better.

Of course, Zhou Zhen knew that the price could be negotiated, so he thought about it and said, "If it is after tax, I am willing to go next." I can do all the non-dangerous action scenes without a stand-in...... You think about it. ”

Taxes in the U.S. are very high, especially after income exceeds six figures, half of which is taxed.

Zhou Zhen is not an American, he doesn't even have a green card, and it is very troublesome to pay taxes, but he is most afraid of trouble.

Stallone just groaned for a while, and then said: "I also agree in principle, and I will let the crew draw up the specific contract terms." There may be some discrepancies in the specific contract amount. ”

The so-called discrepancies are probably for tax evasion or money laundering.

Zhou Zhen doesn't care about these, as long as it doesn't involve him.

The contract must also be a pre-tax amount, and it's quite exciting to think that you are paid millions of dollars for a movie.

Stallone is willing to pay this money, in addition to Zhou Zhen's great skills and good image, I am afraid the main reason is because he has just merged with him in the first drop of blood.

Although he didn't know, he had a sense of intimacy with Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen stretched out his hand happily. "Then it's a pleasure to work together."

Syllegro Stallone smiled and shook his hand. "I know you're well-versed in legal terms and don't need a lawyer, but when you sign a contract, you still have to find a lawyer to witness it."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for a lawyer."

After Stallone left, Xiao Liang walked over. "What is Stallone looking for you?"

"He invited me to play a role in "The Expendables" and "Golden Cicada 3." Zhou Zhen didn't hide it either, and asked, "Brother Xiaoliang, isn't this "Golden Cicada Shelling 2"?" Why is the third part of the project established before the film is finished? ”

Xiao Liang had a trace of embarrassment on his face, and still said to Zhou Zhen: "You also know that the main funding for this movie comes from China, and it is a special film, otherwise, how could I be the first protagonist." ”

Zhou Zhen completely understood at this time, although Xiaoliang is famous in China, but in Hollywood, who knows him!

A movie, let Stallone play him, this face is broken.

However, this kind of thing is not easy to ask, and it is easy to offend people. So when Xiao Liang said this, he completely understood.

In Lionsgate's mind, this movie is not a "Golden Cicada" series at all, no wonder all parties are coping with errands.

Zhou Zhen said with Kevin's temperament: "Brother Xiaoliang, I brought it here by you, and this opportunity is also because of you." No matter how I mix in the future, you will be my brother. ”

Xiaoliang's acting skills may not be good, but he is absolutely exquisite.

He smiled and patted Zhou Zhen on the shoulder and said, "We are fellow countrymen, and we are friends in the world, what is it to help you walk." ”

From the mothers of two people, it is true that it can be regarded as a world friend, but if this is considered a world relationship, then the world friendship is too cheap.

Zhou Zhen smiled and nodded. "Filming is just a hobby, and if I have such an opportunity, I'll try it first. It's really famous, and I'm also your brother. ”

In front of Zhou Zhen, Xiaoliang was very open-minded, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

He has such a high popularity, Stallone didn't look for him, but he took a fancy to Zhou Zhen, this kid is really lucky.

Especially since he brought it himself, who is this reasonable?

Zhou Zhen also understands Xiaoliang's mentality, this kind of thing is a little uncomfortable for anyone.

However, "Golden Cicada Shell 3" and "The Expendables 4" are all sequel movies, and there are global action superstars such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger to attract popularity, and there is no need for Xiaoliang to add icing on the cake.

Instead, they need a character like Zhou Zhen with real skills to add new elements to the film.

A week later, all the shots of ZZ played by Zhou Zhen were filmed, and Zhou Zhen's performance could not be said to be outstanding, but it definitely did not lag behind.

In particular, his martial arts moves are cool, which hides his shortcomings in acting.

Although there is experience to follow in acting, most of them depend on talent.

Zhou Zhen has no experience in science classes, but he now has the emotions of six people, and his temperament can be mobilized at will.

The melancholy Jiang Hao, the cowardly Ma Haohan, the evil Cyrus, the upright Kevin, the gloomy and strong Rambo, and one of himself.

With so many personalities blended together and mastered the performance in front of the camera, the average character can cope with it.

In many cases, it can even give people a stunning feeling.

After the filming of his scene is over, he can't leave yet, because he is the action director of the crew.

It was delayed until the end of November, and the crew was officially completed.

Zhou Zhen came to the United States in early October and stayed here for almost two months.

During this time, he also had a lot of fun, and he had to digest the pain caused by the previous world and enhance his sense of belonging in the main world, so he never entered the new world.

On November 22, he received a call from Stallone, and then called a contracted lawyer introduced by the crew, and they came to Lionsgate together.

Both movies are investments from Lionsgate, and in order to get a handle on the salary, Zhou Zhen has secretly reached an agreement with Stallone that the salary for both movies is one million.

Of course, Zhou Zhen will deposit the excess part of the salary of one of them into an overseas account.

Lionsgate didn't accept it at first, and even if it did, it was only willing to bear the salary of "The Expendables", and they thought that Zhou Zhen's salary was too high.

However, when Zhou Zhen was filming 2, he got along well with the producers and staff of Lionsgate, and there were no problems with the shooting, and his performance was even good.

Under Stallone's tough attitude, Lionsgate still compromised.

One million dollars, which is just a small amount of money for the investment in these two films, in order to win over Stallone, they can only agree.

On the day of signing the contract, in fact, most of the terms have been negotiated, how long the grade is, when to turn on, what treatment, what requirements, there are more than 200 clauses.

Zhou Zhen reviewed it by himself, and on the day of signing the contract, he found a lawyer to help him notarize.

The contract was successfully signed, and the "Expendables 4" in both movies has not yet formed a team, but has only begun to write scripts.

And the script of "Golden Cicada Shell 3" also has to be revised, which greatly increases the drama of the role of ZZ played by Zhou Zhen.

Zhou Zhen is still getting the old script, let him figure out the character first, and use it for character construction.

The crew is expected to start filming in late January, with two months to go.

Of course, Zhou Zhen is not willing to stay in the United States forever, and is ready to go home and wander for a while before making money.

The contract was signed, and he also made a phone call to his mother.

His mother heard that he was a million, and he didn't believe it at all when he took the contract for two movies, but just urged him to hurry home.

The ticket is the day after tomorrow, and it has been okay for the past two days, Zhou Zhen finally decided to earn some more energy points.

If you don't earn any more, the system is about to shut down......
