Chapter 3: Teaching the Dharma to the Evil Ghost Rider
After a month of being stimulated by the demon princess who coveted Andy's body, Andy finally began to rectify the original body according to Goldfinger's work, the original movie had no meaning except for some aspect of education, and now it has to be diversified and more appreciative.
Of course, the battle between the Greek gods will not be the kind of old-fashioned martial arts in Xiangjiang, the main competition is still divine power, just find an action guide.
The industrial chain of San Fernan is very complete, so the action director is also very good, two thousand dollars a week, compared to the costume set is a small amount of money.
As the leading actor and producer, Andy has very high requirements for his first transformation movie, four actresses are personally selected and strictly controlled, two are young and enchanting, two mature and plump, all of them are old actors in the valley, and there will be no problems with their acting skills.
The two actors also specially chose not as handsome as him and not as tall as him, Hephaestus is an ugly half-old man according to the original book, and Ares is a muscular man with a scar on his face.
Andy doesn't want to be paid, four female protagonists plus two male protagonists, and more than a dozen group performances, a total of 20,000 US dollars.
Hehe, unless there is someone like Andy who is already famous, the salary of actors in the valley is so low.
The costumes are all strict ancient Greek costumes and armor, the kind that is gorgeous, and the materials for the construction of the palace of the gods are second-hand goods that are directly bought and not used by other crews, basically foam planks and plastics, and the service is a total of 30,000 US dollars.
Because it is a small scene and a simple plot, it will take a week to prepare and start filming immediately.
In the first scene, Apollo vs. Hephaestus.
"Apollo, you dare to covet my wife, I will burn you!"
After saying that, the Hephaestus actor made a fire-spitting motion towards Andy, and Andy threw up the cloak behind him to cover his face, and after three seconds, Hephaestus stopped spitting fire, and when he was about to spit fire in the next round, Apollo shot a bow and arrow.
"Click!"
It's not a big-screen movie, so the acting skills are passable, just go through one scene, the fire-breathing and spear-throwing trajectories in this scene are all green screen scenes, and Andy will suddenly appear dazzling golden light when he shoots arrows, this special effect requires more than 5,000 US dollars, this is where his Olympus protoss bloodline is reflected, and the special effects can't be sloppy.
During a break in filming, the makeup artist stepped forward and began to put on makeup, putting sticky feather arrows on the heels of the Hephaestus actors.
Although it is an art film, Andy is still perfect, highlighting Apollo's penchant for dealing with other people's heels.
"Act II, action!"
"Apollo, you treacherous!"
The injured Hephaestus scolded, and Apollo, played by Andy, glanced at him with his eyes facing the sky, "Beautiful Aphrodite is not what you can have!" He belongs to the most powerful of gods, and that person is me! β
A tsundere-like look.
"Oh my God, what's going on!"
Aphrodite, dressed in a sexy outfit, appeared and saw Hephaestus on the ground covering his chest, but did not try to lift him up.
"Apollo, you wounded him, why did you do that?"
Apollo, also known as Andy, finally looked at this sexy goddess with his eyes facing the sky.
"Oh, Aphrodite, how I love you, and to show my love, I will defeat all enemies in my path, even Zeus."
After Apollo finished speaking, his eyes stared into the distance again, looking like he was giving it to me, and he instantly captured Aphrodite's reassurance.
"Oh, Apollo~, this is the most beautiful love word I've ever heard."
Apollo roared, and four groups of golden-drawn carriages arrived, and Apollo jumped into the carriage and stretched out his hand to Aphrodite, "Come with me, my goddess!" β
Without hesitation, Aphrodite was pulled into the car by Apollo.
"Drive!"
"Click, it's over!"
At the end of the second scene, the special effects of the carriage flying into the sky will be done in the later stage, and it will cost 10,000 US dollars, but the special effects of this scene are not the most expensive, and the cost of renting four batches of golden horses alone is 20,000 US dollars.
In the third scene, Andy and Aphrodite's kiss on me, this one is slight, but the overall style is different from the clichΓ© that Andy has filmed before.
Sunshine, garden, swings.
He will make extensive use of long shots, revealing beauty and sacredness, similar to the style of the history of the Roman Empire.
Gods can't be the same as mortals.
But a considerable part of the time of this kind of movie is spent on this, one is that the audience likes to see it, and the other is really money-saving for this kind of scene.
It took three hours to shoot the third scene, and the first day ended.
In the evening, Andy got off work and came home with a 38-inch meatball pizza and a few cans of Coke, Johnny lived here for a week, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he basically didn't go out, and the meal or something was either takeout or Andy brought back.
"Andy, I have to say, you have changed my perception of art film actors, it turns out that your life is so self-disciplined and not chaotic at all."
Johnny swallowed the last piece of pizza, watching Andy write the script in the study, there was nothing to say, Andy is indeed very self-disciplined, if Johnny wasn't at home, he would have been used to exercising at night or going to bed early and getting up early, and the title of Mr. Bodybuilder of San Fernan would not have come out of nowhere.
"Johnny, I advise you to watch less art and be your evil spirit knight, eliminating evil and promoting good is the right way."
Johnny sighed when he heard this: "Andy, do you think that God is unfair to some people, I am just an ordinary person but I have become an evil ghost rider, and I can't fall in love like an ordinary person without a fixed place." β
Johnny was originally a rich motorcycle acrobat and a childhood sweetheart, but now both of them are gone, and I really can't stand it on ordinary people.
"Johnny, there is a saying in Buddhism, but don't ask about the future when you do good deeds, because what you did in life will be liquidated after death, those who are sinful will go to hell, those who are good will go to heaven, and those who do a lot of good deeds will go to the Western Heaven Elysium."
"Think about it, is there only evil spirits in Mephisto's hell? Kind souls they can't take away. β
"So I think that as long as you keep doing good deeds, Mephisto can't help you, and even one day you will lift this curse."
Maybe Andy's persuasion worked, and Johnny's face improved a little.
"Andy, are there any gods in the Buddhist family?"
He asked this to determine whether the Buddhists were really spiritual.
"The question you asked is too narrow, of course there are gods in Buddhism, but the gods of Buddhism are not like Sol like the Asgardian innate gods, Buddhism emphasizes that everyone can become a god, as long as the wisdom and merit are completed, you will become a god, this is the way of mortal transformation, you can liberate yourself, you have time to listen to the American translation of the Heart Sutra on Shangri-La, it is too suitable to deal with your self-doubting situation."
Shangri-La is a listening app, there is everything on it, relatively speaking, it is easier for Buddhism to detach than Taoism, so Andy introduced Buddhism.
"Really, great! I'm bored on the road, and listening to this can ease my anxiety. β
Andy wondered, "Where are you going?" β
"I heard that there is also a ghost rider in New York, and I want to go and investigate, and I will set off while it is dark, and I am afraid that the movement will be too big during the day."
New York? That's Johnny's younger brother, it's good to recognize a relative, Johnny needs the same kind to increase his sense of identity.
"Okay, that's over, welcome back."
"So, Andy, can you lend me some money? On the way, I bought bread or something. β
Just throw your wallet over.
"Take as much as you want, remember to pay it back."
...
As soon as Johnny left, the delivery car sped in, the door quickly opened, and a large package was thrown to Andy's door, and the delivery car sped away again.
"Fack!"
Andy didn't recognize a word of scolding, so he took the courier here, which was fierce and ferocious.
Fortunately, there was enough foam from the Dragon Kingdom, and none of the twelve liters of wolfberry puree broke.
Andy became a model worker in the valley, in addition to regular fitness, not staying up late at night and not drinking spermicidal drinks, there are also often orders a lot of supplements from the Dragon Kingdom, ginseng and deer antler velvet have eaten a lot, and the new wolfberry puree is more convenient and cheaper to eat when opening the lid, and I have used this recently.
The overseas version of the 88 website is quite convenient.
Just as he was about to open the door, the sound of the villa door opening across the road was heard, Andy glanced at it, and a white woman in a black dress walked out.
The woman looks in her thirties, slightly chubby, with big eyes, and is generally beautiful, but the most characteristic thing is her complexion, which can be seen to be a little too pale even in the evening.
The woman should be the new owner of the house, and she doesn't know where to come from.
When Andy looked at the woman, the woman looked at him as well.
"Hello, I'm a new neighbor, my name is Nadya, are you of mixed Asian race?"
Suburban villas have a characteristic, that is, the site is large, there is a three-meter-wide road between the villas, and the yard of the villa is generally surrounded by a fence or shrubs, which is private, and those who do not know each other will not greet each other from a distance through the fence.
But this woman greeted her very warmly across the fence, and Andy was not easy to get by.
"Hello, Nadja, I'm Andy Wong, are you a new neighbor?"
After Andy finished speaking, Nadja suddenly covered her mouth and screamed: "Oh my God, it's really you, I thought you were very familiar just now, I've seen a lot of your works, I'm your fan, oh my God, I've seen a real person!" β
Fainting.
Although Citigroup women are more open, there is no need to be so surprised.
And Nadya's screams attracted the people in the house, and soon a tall Middle Eastern man, a white fat man in a suit, a bald man with glasses, and a little fat man slipped over.
Andy Zou frowned, although the combination of these people is strange, how can they be so familiar.
Nadja was still surprised, pointing at Andy and saying to the white fat man in the suit behind her, "Laszlo dear, look at who this is?" β
"Oh God, it's Andy Wang, the male protagonist of my favorite "Good Neighbor" series! β
Laszlo's evaluation resonated with the other three, who nodded their heads one after another.
This... Although being able to bring fun to other people's lives gives Andy a sense of accomplishment, Andy is still a little unaccustomed to picking them in public.
"Calm down, that's just work."
"Andy, let me introduce you, this is my husband Laszlo, this is Nando, this is Colin Robinson, this is Gilmour."
Andy listened to Naja's introduction, and the polite smile on his face froze instantly, and he finally knew who these people were!
"Andy, we just moved in, it's great to have you as a neighbor."
"Yes, Andy, you must come to our house when you are empty."
Whether Nadya is talking or Laszlo is talking, both of them wink at Andy, it seems that the same as in the play, the couple does live an open life and have a lot of habits, no wonder they are Andy's fans.
"Okay, I'll go."
After saying that, Andy was not ready to talk nonsense with these non-humans, so he pushed the door into the house and locked the door in one go.
After closing the door, Andy breathed a sigh of relief.
What's so special, the protagonist of "Vampire Life" moved next door, and the world is a bit of a hodgepodge.
