Half an hour later, Yi Feiyang beckoned everyone to start filming again.

This time, those who were originally absent-minded cheered up one by one, according to the acting skills they learned, as well as their own experience and understanding, in front of the blue screen, seriously interpreting their "small roles" in front of the air.

Needless to say, this shooting turned out to be over and over again.

Afterwards, those actors expressed their gratitude and gratitude to Mel Gibson for teaching him to act, but Mel smiled and said, "The person you should be thanking is not me, but someone else."

At this time, those tricks seemed to suddenly realize and understood the good intentions of director Yi Feiyang.

On the third day of filming, Mel Jebson, as the leading actor, naturally had nothing to say, his acting skills were first-class, and the shooting went smoothly. And Jason Statham, who plays his subordinate general Sain, is also very charming and has portrayed his role very well.

During this period, Jason was close to the water, and he got a lot of guidance from Mel Gibson, and his acting skills can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

Mel Gibson also admires Jason as an Englishman, thinking that he is not as old-fashioned and boring as other Britons, on the contrary, he is very humorous, and even makes people laugh when he says some funny jokes, especially those about women.

You must know that although Mel Gibson is conservative, there is no man who does not like to listen to this kind of joke.

As a result, Jason further gained Mel's favor and was secretly instructed a lot of filming tricks.

For example, Mel Jebson told Jason about the role of General "Sein" that the role focuses on "loyalty and courage". If you cut it, you will be brave and loyal. But how do you express these two aspects? It's skillful.

What tricks?

Show bravery by action. The basic movements are fists, angry eyes, gritted teeth, and roared; Show loyalty by eyes, basic eyes resolute, fearless, admiration, bold.

These are all the experiences that Mel Jebson has gained from so many years of acting. Ordinary people don't tell him at all, and Jason is undoubtedly not an ordinary person, he was taught by Gibson and his acting skills are great.

Compared with the stability and explosion of Mel Gibson and Jason Statham's acting skills, Bill Clinton, who plays the villain Persian Emperor Xerxes, feels a lot of pressure.

That's right, it's just stressful.

Clinton is familiar with the script and can grasp the role thoroughly, but it is a little awkward to act. For example, Xerxes's domineering dancing and domineering, as well as the cruelty of hand-wielding the power of life and death. He didn't even get the most out of it.

As a director, Yi Feiyang saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and privately found Clinton and asked him why.

Clinton said that these are all the after-effects of being president of the United States.

As a former president of the United States, Clinton has been exposed to the media spotlight, which has made him form a kind of suave and personable speech and demeanor, to put it bluntly, the very hypocritical social image of a politician.

This is 108,000 miles away from the domineering president that Yi Feiyang expected before, and Yi Feiyang knew that he was wrong, and mistakenly equated the president of the democratic era with the emperor of the slave era.

Xerxes is a representative of dictatorship.

And the president of the United States is a symbol of freedom and democracy.

The two characters are simply opposites.

After understanding this, Yi Feiyang was completely hard-pressed.

It seems that many things cannot be solved by taking it for granted, nor can it be achieved by taking it for granted, and I originally thought that it was a perfect choice to find Clinton to play Xerxes, but now it seems to be a mistake of a cheat.

……

"I'm sorry Yi, I couldn't play the role well and dragged the crew back." During the break, Clinton disregarded his face and apologized directly to Yi Feiyang.

In the face of Clinton's self-blame, Yi Feiyang felt that the other party was very cute for the first time, and he began to look like a real actor.

A real actor must know honor and shame, know how to respect the director, and unite the crew.

"It's okay, you just didn't find the feeling." Yi Feiyang comforted him.

"No, it's not like that, I know what my problem is, I can't play the posture of a tyrant at all, yes, I'm too Sven, I'm too politician, and I've been a president for many years, so I can't put dictatorship and autocracy into the play, I ...... I'm a loser! ”

"No one is born a success, and failure is the mother of success, isn't it? So, you have to have faith in yourself! ”

"So what should I do?" Clinton humbly pleaded for advice.

"It's very simple, replace your disadvantages with your strengths......" Yi Feiyang pointed out, "Since you can't do superficial tyranny, then replace it with hidden tyranny, don't forget, you are a politician, what is a politician best at?" That's camouflage! ”

Wake up the dreamer with a word!

At that moment, Clinton suddenly became cheerful, yes, why didn't he think of it?!

As a political chameleon, can't you still handle the role of a tyrant?! Shit !!

……

Filming continues.

The camera rustles.

Close-up, Xerxes sitting on the throne looks at the prostrate ministers below.

After putting on makeup, Clinton was almost unrecognizable, with a pale face, strange eyes, ears wearing gold rings, a crown, and imperial robes...... The robes were specially made after the costumes of the ancient Persian emperors.

Clinton handled his role very accurately this time, Xerxes's grace, domineering, and hidden cruelty were all revealed from his expression and every move.

Xerxes: "You mean that the Spartans were unwilling to submit and defeated the army I had sent?" ”

Minister: "Yes, my great majesty, those abominable Spartans, rebel against your will and want to oppose our Persia, and beg you to send troops again to destroy them." ”

Xerxes sneered: "I know this, I don't need you to teach me!" ”

The minister trembled, "I'm sorry, my king, the sin deserves death!" ”

Xerxes: "People say that the Spartans are very warlike, and it seems to be true, that even my army can stop them." Maybe. They really are a bunch of warriors. ”

"But......" the conversation changed. No matter how powerful the warrior is, in front of our Persian legions, he is just an ant that can be pinched to death! ”

In a close-up, Xerxes has a cruel look in his eyes, and his pale face is as terrifying as a ghost.

……

“CUT！” Director Yi Feiyang shouted to stop behind the camera.

The actors, who were very solemn just now, all let out a sigh.

"How's it going, director, how are we doing?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Very good!" Yi Feiyang praised, "Especially dear Clinton, you played very well!" ”

Clinton, who played Xerxes, didn't expect Yi Feiyang to praise himself so much. was quite surprised, and said: "You are true, I acted very well?" ”

"Yes, you have finally grasped the heart of the character Xerxes, just as I expected, I don't want the superficial kind of thing, but the domineering and angry from the heart. You, all of them! ”

Yi Feiyang said this absolutely sincerely, you must know that Lu Dao started filming this drama. What Yi Feiyang thinks about is to be different from the "Spartan 300 Warriors" in his previous life, and shoot his own characteristics. Then there is no doubt that the character of Xerxes needs to be transformed, and the actor needs to repackage him, flesh and blood, with feelings, not a monster in his previous life, let alone a god, but a flesh-and-blood person. If you are human, you must have feelings, and there is no doubt that Clinton did it.

……

If the actors' performances are on the right track and the shooting is becoming more and more smooth, then Yi Feiyang will focus on special effects design.

As mentioned earlier, this play is shot with a blue screen, the actors stand in front of a large blue screen to do the scene, and the visual shots are composed through special effects in the later stage, what palaces, palaces, warships, warships, wars, endless rice fields, etc., all need to be shown with special effects.

The special effects team of Dream Entertainment, a subsidiary of Yi Feiyang, worked very hard to take over this work, but some specific shots were still a little unable to be produced, and the company had no choice but to turn to some big-name special effects masters in Hollywood.

In the end, Gigay chose Stan Winston.

For Director Stan? Winston's name may be a little unfamiliar to many people, but if you open the list of his works, you will find a long list of extremely familiar characters - "Terminator 1, 2, 3", "Alien", "Jurassic Park", "Edward Scissorhands", "Predator", "Visit the Vampire", "Big Fish" and so on. Many of these films have won Oscars for Best Visual Effects and Costume Design, among which the "Terminator" series is the most famous, and he designed the Terminator's endoskeleton shape.

The existence of Stan Winston makes people understand that in today's extremely advanced CG technology, model special effects are still irreplaceable. For the master who once brought aliens, terminators, and dinosaurs to life on the movie screen, we can't imagine what the world of film special effects would be like without him. He is like the "Ray Harryhausen" of this era, making special effects worthy of the title of "movie magic".

Now, on the indoor set of Dream Entertainment, this super special effects master and Yi Feiyang have met, looking very old, after all, he is in his fifties, and because he focuses on mental work, his temples are gray, and he looks much older than his actual age.

Winston was a little strange that he didn't know why the owner of this fantasy entertainment company was staring at him, but he was very interested in this company, after all, he was not only the owner of a film company standing in front of him, but also the only writer and director in Hollywood who was recognized as the best. He knew that Lu Dao was Yi Feiyang and talented, but he didn't know that Lu Dao was still so young.

In fact, Yi Feiyang looked more than twenty-four years old, and the smile on the corner of his mouth slightly upturned made him look like he had added a lot of mature charm. Originally, Yi Feiyang remembered the old saying in China, there was no hair on his mouth, he was not firm in his work, and he wanted to give himself two beards, but when he looked in the mirror, he felt very fake. It turns out that it also takes qualifications to grow a beard and play a tycoon, such as Gusta of Lionsgate, who is in his thirties, and looks more attractive with a beard, but it is a bit contrived to change it to Yi Feiyang.

Obviously, Yi Feiyang is not suitable for beard, so he can only start from his expression, by chance, Yi Feiyang found that he looked at the corners of his mouth with some hidden charm, and he also seemed to be much more stable and mature, so this became his signature.

In fact, it is true that everyone has a very special little action that can highlight the personality traits of that person. And Yi Feiyang, the little habit at the corner of Qiao's mouth. It makes him look more mature and sophisticated. And there is also a very manly feeling.

Yi Feiyang shook hands with Winston with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, and it is an honor to see you today!" ”

"I'm glad to meet you too, Yi. You're a legend! "Winston was interested in this Chinese boy.

After the two briefly exchanged pleasantries, Yi Feiyang got to the point, "Mr. Winston, I've always been curious about how you made the special effects in the play "Predator"? ”

What Yi Feiyang wants to ask about is the special effects in the film "Predator", which are really nothing in the future. But in this day and age, it's definitely quite good, very realistic effects and not animation. However, what made Yi Feiyang most curious was that the Predator's appearance after removing the mask in that film could be described as "amazing", and Yi Feiyang's first reaction at that moment was whether Winston had seen China's 86 version of "Journey to the West", and actually borrowed Zhu Bajie's style from the past.

Winston was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yi Feiyang's first sentence to be this. Since he mentioned his most proud ability, he naturally said: "Actually, it's not difficult to do special effects, as long as you are willing to put your heart into it!" ”

Yi Feiyang nodded, it is indeed not too difficult at present, but in the future, professional skills will really be required. However, he believes that with Winston's ability, there is definitely a lot of potential. Staring at Winston, he smiled slightly, "Mr. Winston." You don't have a contract with you right now, do you? ”

"There's another play with Paramount." Winston seemed to understand a little, but he didn't quite understand: "But I don't know when Lu Dao will start playing!" ”

"It's not as good as this. We signed you with Dream Entertainment, you see. As for Paramount, I'm an old friend of their boss, Mr. Raymond, and I'll call him right away! Yi Feiyang handed him a contract, motioned for him to take a look, picked up the phone and dialed Raymond: "Hi, dear Raymond, I haven't seen you for a long time." This time I was looking for you to have something, does your company have a play with Mr. Winston? Give it to me, and I'll pay you 500,000. ”

When Raymond heard this, he suddenly laughed, "Ha, dear Yi, what are you going to do?" Running halfway to dig into my corner? ”

Yi Feiyang shrugged his shoulders and said into the phone: "No way, it's not my new play, I need Mr. Winston to help me!" ”

"Oh, I see." Raymond smiled, "Okay then, but 500,000 is enough, God, you underestimate me too much, I'm not such an unrighteous person...... But when your drama is released, I'm going to get some overseas distribution rights in advance......"

Ri, he also said that he is righteous, and everyone knows that Yi Feiyang's movies definitely make a lot of money, especially in overseas distribution, and they make a lot of money.

However, Yi Feiyang didn't care about this, and immediately replied: "A word is a certainty, then thank you very much!" ”

"Hehe, then I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!" Raymond hung up.

Winston here was greatly surprised, because he didn't expect Yi Feiyang's strength to be so powerful, and he directly "asked" himself for a phone call, and didn't spend a penny, what is the hand and eye to the sky? That's it!

Taking advantage of the gap between Yi Feiyang and Raymond saying goodbye, Winston took the opportunity to look at the contract that Yi Feiyang had just handed him, and then he was taken aback.

Not to mention anything else, the bride price above alone is 50 million US dollars!

God, it's really 50 million!

Winston thought he was dazzled, wiped his eyes, looked closely, yes, it was 50 million!

In other words, is the other party ready to hire himself with 50 million?!

Looking at Winston's stunned appearance, Yi Feiyang already understood what he was surprised about, so he smiled and said: "Don't be too surprised, Mr. Winston, please see clearly, 50 million US dollars is to hire you for three years, yes, this is a three-year contract, not a year!" However, as far as I know, your current highest bride price is only 15 million, and it is only 45 million in three years, and now I have an extra 5 million to buy you out for three years, I don't know what you think? ”

Winston's heart is very excited, you must know that people like them who do special effects, generally speaking, do not take many jobs, after all, not every Hollywood blockbuster, you must find him to do special effects, especially at present, the whole Hollywood special effects competition is fierce, many people reduce the price of films, although they are strong, but their value is too high, so they have been robbed of a lot of opportunities by many juniors. He himself loves his face, and he is embarrassed to fight for it, and he is very depressed, but now, Dream Entertainment is willing to pay 50 million to sign him for three years, which means that he and his company don't have to worry about whether they have a job to pick up within three years.

Winston never imagined that such a good thing would fall on his head, hit the jackpot, and go shit luck, or ...... Are you dreaming?!

No, it's all true!

Winston was overjoyed and was about to put pen to paper to sign the contract. Yi Feiyang saw that he was still stunned, and couldn't help but tap on the table to wake him up and say: "Mr. Winston, please read the contract clearly, during the three-year contract, in addition to the special effects work of Dream Entertainment, you also take care of the director's duties, yes, you have to take on one more such task, how about it?" ”

Winston was taken aback, and hurriedly carefully scanned the terms, and sure enough, in addition to inviting him to be a special effects artist, there was also a director, but ...... Why does the other party value himself so much? Give yourself so many heavy responsibilities?

Could it be that you really met your soulmate?!

In the United States, trust is more precious than gold! (To be continued......)
