Chapter 200: Thoughtful
Although Ye Weixin has always called "Ip Man" a biographical movie, it is only a biography, not even a documentary.
Ye Weixin didn't officially say to him that this was a biographical movie, but even the old man Ye Zhun was invited to be a staff officer, which is almost equivalent to a default.
It is because Huo Yunting himself has practiced many times in his heart on weekdays, all of which are to substitute himself into that turbulent era and strive for a truth. But the final result was that Ye Weixin was not satisfied.
Now he understands, where is this biographical movie, this is a kind of biographical movie, when it comes to the most fundamental point, Huo Yunting feels that "Ip Man" is more like a superhero film.
If you say this, Ip Man's superb strength and broad-mindedness seem to be a lot more reasonable. And it's no surprise that the kick-poking flip punch can lose to Wing Chun in a big open space.
It's a superhero movie after all.
Huo Yunting thinks it's nothing, the Americans can shoot it, but I can't shoot it?
"Mr. Huo? Mr. Huo? ”
Gavin Hood's voice shouted twice, and Huo Yunting came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Gavin, I just lost my mind. If you would like to contact my broker for more details, please contact my broker. ”
After the international call, Huo Yunting quickly contacted Zhang Debang, and as soon as he told him about the matter, Lao Zhang was also pleasantly surprised.
When a man sits at home, he rejoices to come from heaven.
To be an agent for Brother Huo, on this benefit, worry-free.
The stars of other agents sit there all day long, just waiting for the agent and the company to find them a job, and when they find it, they pick and choose, grinding and chirping.
Brother Huo is good, hey, people can find jobs by themselves, and they are all one by one, and they can't rely on it.
Thinking of this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, as the so-called no comparison is not happy, everything is afraid of making a comparison, isn't it?
"Brother Huo, what's the market in Hollywood? Do you know? ”
The salary of this martial arts refers to an insider, if it is not for the related work, it is not very clear, let alone Hollywood on the other side of the ocean, and I have never been in contact with it at all.
It was really a blind man crying - his eyes were black.
How much does this cost? How is the salary settled? What grade is their Huo family class? I don't know.
Don't talk about it when you don't understand anything, show timidity, and let people take advantage.
"I don't know, I've never been in Hollywood." Huo Yunting thought for a while, "I'll call and ask Old Man Yuan." ”
If you talk about martial arts from Hollywood, then the first thing Huo Yunting thinks of is Yuan Heping.
"The Matrix" is a million dollars per film, which was nearly ten years ago, and such a price is also one in the world.
When he was about to hang up the phone, Zhang Debang hurriedly asked, "Brother Huo, who are you sending?" ”
"Who are you sending? All gone. ”
"This is a big job, revitalize and directly open up the international market, can it be done if you don't pay attention to it, let them all go, one more person and one more guarantee."
"Among the thirty boys, let each of them pick a few promising seedlings, and take them with them when the time comes. When I come back, I'll find some good people, and I'll fill these grassroots vacancies for the time being. ”
"Come on, Brother Huo, you just wait." Zhang Debang's chest thumped.
Just hung up Zhang Debang's phone here, and quickly called Yuan Heping.
"Teacher Yuan, hello, I have something to ask you, what level do you think my Huo family class went to Hollywood to be a martial artist?"
Anyway, he is also a veteran-level figure, and it is not easy for Zhang Debang to contact him.
Yuan Heping heard that Huo Yunting was invited to Hollywood to be a martial artist, and he was not too surprised. From the time he saw the sword kick in the Spring Festival Gala, he knew that it was a matter of time or time.
It was a freehand kick sword, and it was quite explosive no matter where it was placed.
After inquiring with Mr. Yuan about the price in the Hollywood market, Huo Yunting called Zhang Debang again.
The subsequent bargaining matters let him negotiate with others.
Seeing that the time was already half past eleven in the evening, it was late, but Huo Yunting was still not resting. Hurriedly made three more phone calls in a row, and dialed his three capable generals.
It's almost twelve o'clock, and they were suddenly startled by a fatal phone call from their boss, and the three of them were full of anger in their hearts, if Huo Yunting was in front of them, these people were afraid that they would not revolt on the spot.
Later, I heard Huo Yunting say carefully that he was calling for the matter of Hollywood martial arts, and he was instantly moved to tears. The boss used his sleep time to make a big future for them, and he didn't follow the wrong person.
The three of them took turns talking, and this one was said until nearly one o'clock in the morning, but none of them complained.
They are not stupid in their hearts, and they go to Hollywood to be martial arts, which is a step to the sky, standing directly in the center of the international stage.
As long as this fame is launched, he will be a resident guest on this big stage in the future. Even if Huo Yunting said that they had no opinion last night.
After finishing speaking at almost two o'clock, Huo Yunting said that his mouth was dry, and he poured a large glass of water, not a drop left, drank it cleanly, and finally went to bed.
This time, Huo Yunting rarely got up late, and by the time he arrived on the set, everyone was almost ready. Huo Yunting took the initiative to find Ye Weixin and proposed to reshoot the part where the cotton factory confronted each other yesterday.
"Director Ye, I feel like I have comprehended the feeling you want, let's try again?"
Ye Weixin doesn't mean anything about this, anyway, today is also going to shoot the scene of the cotton factory, and by the way, it will be solved together.
It was to temporarily instruct the staff to temporarily change the scene, and first shoot the confrontation at the cotton factory yesterday.
This time it was very silky, and it went down again, Ye Weixin played it back from the monitor, and it was comfortable to look at it, this time it tasted right.
It's just that he also wondered, this Huo Yunting is really a natural actor, I don't know what the taste is, he will figure it out in one day?
The curiosity in his heart couldn't bear it, so he pulled Huo Yunting aside and asked, Huo Yunting didn't hide it, and briefly told him the superhero version of Ip Man that he was pondering.
These words really made Ye Weixin transparent, and the points he wondered about before were suddenly understood.
It's not like that, what I want to make is just a biographical film. Ip Man has already beaten the invincible opponents all over the world, except for a side with a realistic prototype, which point is still related to the word biography and documentary?
"Director Ye, you have to put aside my current opinion, and we will give the word biography when we do publicity."
Ye Weixin nodded, "It's feasible." ”
Find out where the reason is, and then the shooting schedule will be a long time. Extremely fast.
More than 90 shots were shot in one day, and many young and old went through them all over again. If it weren't for the occasional small mistakes on his partner Xiong Dailin's side, Huang Baiming felt that he could shoot 30 more today.
I thought that the cotton factory would stay here for about a month, but now it seems that it will be able to leave in half a month.
Today's shooting situation is very good, Boss Huang is very happy, and everyone added a chicken leg at dinner, and everyone smiled, except for Huo Yunting.
Holding a boxed lunch, he sat alone on the side, frowning.
It's not that I think one chicken leg is too little, but I'm mainly reading the script of "Wolverine". This script ...... How so?
In the afternoon, Zhang Debang called him back and told him that everything had been negotiated. And he asked the crew of "Wolverine" why they were willing to recruit a Huo family class without Huo Yunting.
Speaking from the heart, even if he is Huo Yunting's agent, he feels that this remote guidance is a little weird, but the crew still agrees.
Don't fucking go to Hollywood when the time comes, cut our waists, and make a fairy jump.
Zhang Debang had scruples in his heart, so he inquired about it and figured out the reason.
Who is the investor behind "Wolverine"? Fox, one of the six major companies in the United States, is not short of your money.
But it's not bad money, it doesn't mean that it's a stupid family, and people have to spend this money on the blade.
With an investment of more than $100 million, most of the filming locations were in Australia. In other words, the final box office of "Wolverine" is not 200 million, which is a loss, which can be regarded as a big investment movie by Fox.
After the negotiation was settled, I asked when the film would be filmed, okay, in May. That's still a month away.
Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so Huo Yunting simply asked the other party for the line book and storyboard script of "Wolverine".
He is not just talking about remote guidance, he knows in his heart what the level of those three pieces of material is, and it is still a little worse. Whether he is qualified to direct this "Wolverine", he is not sure, but he is certainly not as good as he designed himself.
A new task was assigned to the three pieces of material, and he himself first took a general look at the story of this film.
Fast-healing body, steel claws that stretch out at will, teleportation, and 100 shots...... Huo Yunting secretly pondered in his heart, this is what Chen Weitao is good at.
In addition to these fight scenes that test imagination, what remains is some real swords and guns, flesh-and-blood fights.
Huo Yunting thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Yes, these two just happen to be what Li Cai and Shi Xingyu are good at.
Send them all over by yourself, not to mention, it's just right.
Li Cai is still staying in Xiamen, and Ning Hao is filming "Crazy Racing", Huo Yunting called and asked, the crew will probably wait until about October.
But there are not many action scenes in the play, Li can leave in early April at the earliest, and the time can be squeezed out for another month.
"Teacher Huo, what are you studying?"
Seeing that Huo Yunting was alone in a corner, he didn't eat, just looked at the pile of paper in his hand.
Xiong Dailin walked across from him with the meal, with a curious smile on her face, "Teacher Huo, what are you looking at?" ”
Huo Yunting was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and pointed to the script in his hand, "This." ”
"yes, I see you've been staring at you for a long time."
Huo Yunting smiled, "Secret." ”
"That's it, then forget it." Xiong Dailin shrugged her shoulders and said no more.
The days of pure literary drama passed very slowly, Huo Yunting counted day by day, and every day he saw Sammo Hung sitting there in a daze, and he didn't know where he was designing the action.
Until March 22, Huo Yunting, who was eating tofu brain, saw Sammo Hung go to Ye Weixin and Huang Baiming.
After less than ten minutes, he saw Huang Baiming beckoning to him vigorously, "Master Huo!" Trouble coming! ”
The tofu brains in the bowl were all picked up in his mouth, and the last small piece of fritters was picked up and gagged, and Huo Yunting trotted all the way.
Sure enough, the martial arts scene was designed.
And it's all the martial arts scenes in the whole play, which is indeed a lot of work.
It's just that Huo Yunting is still a little puzzled, so it won't be designed for more than 20 days, right?
didn't give him time to think about anything else, changed his clothes and prepared for filming.
The first thing to shoot was that the cotton factory workers and Jinshan were looking for their subordinates to beat each other, and then they went to Huo Yunting and Jinshan to find others.
"Come on, come on, all the tricks are highlighted, it's Ren Qiu Chuanwu Huo Yunting who is fighting against you, a big-name star, understand?"
The drama manager and the group performers gave a word, and then made an OK gesture with Ye Weixin.
The group performers, you look at me, I look at you, and subconsciously touched the axe pinned to his waist.
"Big brother, what do you mean? Do you want us to go all out? ”
"You idiot, you, I told you about the big stars, what are you going all out?"
"Let you keep it, don't make people lose face and lose face."
The man suddenly realized, "It's been a long time, and the name of Qiu Chuanwu with him has been blown out." ”
"Idiot, you! Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are here, and he also said the same! ”
When a few people were muttering quietly, Ip Man, who was dressed in a plain black robe, stood in the C position.
"Come on, come on, all departments pay attention, 3,2,1,action!"
"Why are you stunned? Give it to me! ”
Jin Shan shouted, and each of the little brothers took out the axes pinned to their waists and rushed forward.
A man with an axe rushed over, and Huo Yunting kicked the door with his feet, but he just wiped the tip of his nose. The little brother was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, kicked his legs hard, and flew out upside down.
Another rushed over, smashing his fist on the chest, and he retreated again and again.
Three or four machines circled around him, Huo Yunting's hands and feet did not stop, there was no close-up of this scene, it was all panoramic shots, Huo Yunting fought for one.
It's a pity that the last paragraph was repeated three times, even the part where he used a long stick to smash Jin Shan to find it was the same, but Fan Shaohuang was depressed.
After Ye Weixin and Huang Baiming watched it, they felt that it was no big deal, so they waved their hands to say that the plot of the cotton factory was completely over and they would change the next place.
Everyone happily went back to clean up, but Huo Yunting was the only one who stood in place, thoughtful.
ps: I'm also helpless when I'm late today, I still have a fever, and the homestay I live in is too bad. There are all kinds of mosquitoes in the house, and there are small bugs, and today an oversized cicada flew in, buzzing, annoying that I want to kill.
If it hadn't been for a week's worth of money, I would have to go.
