Chapter 611: Take a Step Back

In late August, Svetlana and Marina came to New York successively, and after passing the crew interview, they got the roles of female killer Ares and Gianna respectively.

The former requires a certain amount of movement training.

The glass mirror scene conceived and designed by Chad has not yet been built, and the action scene between Ares and Jonathan is scheduled for the end.

After a few trainings, Chen Hu found Martin and whispered: "I have carefully observed, and judging from more than 20 years of experience, Svetlana has not experienced combat training. ”

Martin said, "Thank you." ”

Waiting for Chen Hu to leave, Bruce came over from the side and said, "This alone can't be completely ruled out, the main task of the swallow is to get information, not to do it." “

"It's a little bit less likely," Martin said. ”

Bruce paused for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do if you really want to find out?" None of the Russian spies we have arrested in the past are real spies, and maybe the Russian side didn't take it too seriously. ”

Martin told the truth: "I haven't figured out how to deal with it, but no matter what, at least I want to know who it is." ”

As for the lofty ideas such as the seventy-two kinds of torture, he will not talk to vulgar people like Bruce for the time being, because vulgar people always like to associate with crooked places.

Martin asked instead, "What about Marina?" ”

Bruce said, "I didn't find anything special at the moment. ”

Seeing that the set was adjusted, Martin picked up his pistol, entered the set, and continued to shoot the action scenes.

Chad found a special actor from Japan who had practiced sumo wrestling.

Martin was going to shoot a few action scenes with him.

The tonnage and body size of the two sides are several levels apart, just like a ten-year-old child, facing a big fat man of more than 200 pounds.

More than 20 action scenes were filmed for more than two hours, and Martin tossed a lot of sweat to complete it.

Jonathan shot the sumo killer with a gun.

Martin leaves the set to find Louise here, along with Alan Horn.

The latter came over to greet Martin and said: "The play is very exciting, and sure enough, real shooting is king." ”

Martin shook his hand and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Alan Horn said directly: ""Fast and Furious 2" is the first non-Disney film I signed after entering Disney Studios, and the success or failure is related to Disney and Bowey, the two major distribution labels. ”

It was almost noon, and Martin pointed to himself: "I'm sweating, I'm going to take a shower first, and I'll have a treat when I turn back, and talk while eating." ”

Alan Horn said: "Yes. ”

Martin returned to the trailer, the action scenes of this part of the scene had been filmed, and in the afternoon, he belonged to the media open day of the crew, and he directly removed his makeup and changed clothes.

There was a sudden knock on the trailer door from the outside, Bruce stepped forward to open it, and Louise entered.

The makeup artist and Bruce got out of the trailer together.

Louise closed the door and said, "I'll help you with what to do next." ”

Martin took off his coat: "I'm going to take a shower." ”

Louise followed: "I'll help you rub your back." ”

When the two went out, Louise's long hair hadn't been fully dried.

But she didn't care.

The two converge with Alan Horn and Bruce and head to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

After ordering a meal, the conversation quickly turned to the movie.

Alan Horn said: ""The Fast and Furious 2 and "Lone Survivor" have all signed distribution contracts with Disney Studios, with the former scheduled for the first half of next year and the latter on the holiday schedule. ”

Martin was polite: "Alan, thank you for your support. ”

"Our old friends, these polite words don't need to be said." Alan Horn gets straight to the point: "When you get back to Los Angeles, Robert Iger invites you to visit Disney. ”

Martin responded: "No problem, after filming this scene, I can do it at any time." ”

The former Robert Iger took Disney to the top, and his successor almost made Disney a second Warner Bros.

Alan Horn brings up another important point: "Regarding the long-term contract between Disney Studios and Davis Studios, I think ten years is the most appropriate, but you hold on to five years. ”

Martin counted the time and said, "So, Allen, let's take a step forward, how about signing the issuance contracts on both sides until 2019?" ”

Alan Horn thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, let's take a step. ”

He asked: "I heard that you still have the rights to several films and scripts on your side, and "Prince of Thieves" and "The Martian" are in your hands?" ”

"There are probably a couple of projects," Martin said. ”

Alan Horn confirmed: "Will it be pushed into production in the future? ”

Martin appropriately divulged some information: "The script adaptation of 'The Prince of Thieves' has been completed, and I have made a verbal commitment to Ridley Scott for 'The Martian', and if nothing else, Ridley will direct the project. ”

Alan Horn continued: "Ridley Scott's sci-fi films have always been reliable. ”

Martin smiled, "I think so too. ”

Alan Horn said: "Hopefully I can see these movies sooner. ”

The two sides chatted more happily, and after lunch, Alan Horn said goodbye and left, and went to Marvel headquarters.

Louise accompanied Martin back to the studio, and said as she walked: "Jennifer Siebel's project was finished and transferred to post-production, I have been to the set a few times, the director is very professional, the finished film may not be particularly outstanding, but it should not be as bad as Uwe Ball's film." ”

Martin also received a call from Sibel and said: "I talked to Greg Pieters, the director of Netflix, about this film, and Netflix will buy the rights to this film, and we will talk to Netflix about the specific price depending on the quality of the film." ”

Louise understood what was going on as soon as she heard it: "Sibel's film will be in post-production, and Netflix will be particularly accurate in its calculations after the results of the California gubernatorial election in November." ”

Martin laughed: "Gavin Newsom and Jerry Brown are almost certain winners, and I'm waiting for the results to come out before talking to Netflix." ”

He said: "The production of the film will end at that time, and that's what I wanted. ”

Louise stopped abruptly and turned to look at Martin.

Unlike others, she can be regarded as Martin's guide, and she has witnessed Martin step by step to where he is today.

Martin noticed Louise stop, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Louise followed, flicked a trace of dust off Martin's shoulder, grabbed his arm, and said, "Let's go." ”

Martin said as he walked: "I have to trouble you to continue to be a producer for those projects. ”

Louise understood what he meant: "I'll hold on to your thighs from now on, waiting to count the money." ”

Martin shrugged: "Maybe it will cost you bankrupt." ”

Louise remembered one thing and specifically reminded: "Now Hollywood pays special attention to you, just like Warner Bros., there are people staring at you waiting to grab your favorite projects." ”

Martin nodded: "I know, I usually pay attention, and I have made some real and fake things." ”

Louise asked curiously, "Like Schwarzenegger and Stallone back then?" ”

"Pretty much." Martin had heard about Stallone and Schwarzenegger vying for supremacy in the field of action movies.

The duo not only focused on their own film projects, but also on their rivals' projects, and if they heard that their opponents were particularly interested in an action movie project, they immediately joined the competition.

Because of this, both of them have engaged in pretending to be interested in a certain project to attract their opponents.

Now, the relationship between the two is much better.

What Martin heard came from the mouth of Stallone's three thousand gold.

The afternoon was the media open day for the crew, and because of the impact of the Justin Bieber incident some time ago, dozens of media reporters and entertainment bloggers came today.

Including Martin and Chard, the main creative staff of the crew were all involved in the media interaction.

The sequel to the blockbuster movie still has to be shouted hard to sell at a good price.

Inevitably, reporters asked about the clash with Justin Bieber that night.

But the focus is not on the conflict itself, but on Martin's relationship with Taylor Swift.

"We are friends, good friends who talk about everything." Martin's words, of course, were in the usual tone: "Taylor thought I could inspire her, so I interacted with me a lot, and a few of us happened to be drinking at a bar near Central Park that night, and we immediately rushed over when we got a call from Taylor, I thought it was just a group of bad boys, but I didn't expect it to be a well-known singer." ”

A reporter asked: "Would you be very grateful for saving Mei Taylor as a hero like you?" ”

Martin didn't answer directly, and pulled the shield from the side: "He was the one who really saved people that night, this omnipotent tiger!" ”

Unfortunately, Chen Hu, who was passing by, was dragged into the wolf's den by Martin.

Martin said solemnly: "Tiger has won the National Karate Championship, and is also my fighting coach and teacher, and that night we only knocked down one harasser each, but Tiger beat down two by himself!" ”

This is not nonsense, the reporters have all watched the video of that night, and Chen Hu is the bravest one.

They immediately changed their goals and surrounded Chen Hu.

Martin gave Chen Hu a look and slipped aside very unjustly.

Chen Hu understands Martin's kindness, and has been working quietly behind the scenes, and it is difficult to attract attention with his identity, and even after the end of this series, he fell silent.

Martin came diagonally to the opposite side, and happened to find Chen Hu looking at him, nodding slightly at him, cheering him on.

Chad came over and said, "Tiger is a man with real skills. ”

Martin nodded: "You old guys, I can help if I can." ”

Chad thought of himself, and suddenly felt a little emotional, he had been in the circle for nearly twenty years, almost nothing, until he met Martin.

He said with gratitude: "Martin, my greatest luck is that I met you. ”

"You guy!" Martin deliberately joked: "It's too sensual to say, I want to get Kee to find Mene or Marcus." ”

Thinking of the now fat ball-like Marcus, Chad also said a joke: "I'm afraid that if he sits down, he will even break off all the chairs." ”

That evening, Martin returned to the hotel from the studio and met Aleksandrovich in the dust.
