"No, if I can't do it, then I guarantee that no team in the whole Ori can do what you want, do you really know how to make a great stunt movie?" said Rennes Gonzalez, Hollywood's famous film stuntman, to Yuan Kui, who was sitting across from him, with some disdain.

Michael Bay, who sat next to Yuan Kui, also said to Yuan Kui, who had been silent: "Corey, I also think it is difficult to use stunts to achieve the picture you imagined, if you insist, we can talk to David about using computer stunts to complete the scene of street racing, Wren's team is already Hollywood's first-class level." ”

Seeing that Yuan Kui, the second assistant director in charge of the stunt action of "Death Express", was still silent, Wren Gonzalez pressed his two arms against the table, revealing a scar on his right arm that looked like a burn and a text tattoo, he pointed to his arm and said to Yuan Kui:

"I worked on Billy Hunter's Breaking Death I've done stunts, in Hollywood, vehicle stunt screens, you don't have a better choice, and no one knows the car better than me, you see it parked on the side of the road, like a quiet little girl, but when it starts, it will evolve into a beast at any time, you want U-turns, L-shaped turns and even continuous U-shaped drifts, my men can all satisfy you, and it is guaranteed to be pleasing to the eye, we can ride this beast to dance, but your request is too much, this exaggerated street chase scene you actually ask us to do it without the help of computer stunts, you don't understand, but I understand, because it was exchanged for this scar, God saved me。 ”

Yuan Kui didn't seem to care about the other party's dissatisfied tone at all, hanging his head and pondering the drag racing scenes in the movie, especially the car chase scene at the beginning of the movie, he had been an action director in Hong Kong for so long, and he knew what kind of pictures were beautiful, but when he moved his ideas out, he found the gap between Hollywood and Hong Kong.

He is the second assistant director of this western film, the second assistant director is one of the members of the core group, and he is also an important role when the film enters the filming period during the preparation period, responsible for the special props needed by the crew, providing extras, stuntmen, transportation, special effects shooting and other work for the crew, as well as the most important arrangement of actor training and rehearsals, it can be said that most of the things during the filming period of a film need to be taken care of by the second assistant director。

Yuan Kui really worked hard, and also made David Fincher and Rob Cohen full of praise, the action scenes he conceived made the two ghosts who have always felt that Hollywood is the best in the world think that Hong Kong people are more suitable for making this kind of action movie than Americans, but when Yuan Kui was ready to put his idea into the preparatory work, he ran into trouble, that is, the Hollywood stuntman said that he had to use computer special effects to complete the picture he wanted.

This made him completely unacceptable, the car chase scene he designed was indeed a little difficult, but it was not the kind of overly exaggerated picture, at least Yuan Kui was sure that there were two or three teams in Hong Kong that could complete their own requests, such as Luo Bert Luo Lixian of the Raptors stunt, or Chen Yiyan of kamikaze stunts.

But the man in front of him, Rain-Gonzalez, whom Michael Bay had helped with the help of the Movie Stuntmen Guild, actually said that he couldn't do it, and in a tone that he couldn't do it on this earth, and others were more likely to do it.

This made Yuan Kui, who has always been accustomed to seeing storms in the Hong Kong martial arts circle, very unhappy, he admitted that Hollywood is indeed the world film capital, but he also saw clearly at this time that this film capital is not everything can be ranked first.

"What you said you can't do, in Hong Kong, dozens of people can do it!" Yuan Kui said to Rennes Gonzalez in a stern tone: "No computer." ”

"Oh~~" Wren Gonzalez made an exaggerated expression and smiled at his companions who came with him: "Hear that? This assistant director may need me to introduce a wonderful psychiatrist, he's crazy." ”

Speaking of this, Rennes Gonzalez stared at Yuan Kui's face: "I said, if you can't do those shots and my team, no one on this earth can do it." ”

The conversation ended unhappily, and Wren Gonzalez left the café with his companions, and Michael Bay said to Yuankui: "Cory, I think what he said is true, his team is already the best team in the movie stuntman guild and has done the most dangerous moves, you can think about it again." ”

"What I said is true, in Hong Kong, dozens of people do what I said!" Yuan Kui took a sip of coffee and repeated the sentence just now.

Michael Bay shrugged, buttoned his cap over his head and said, "You're the assistant director in charge of these stuntmen and props, why don't you go to Hong Kong and find those people? Of course, you have to ask the accountant to help you calculate the cost of hiring those people, God, if you're telling the truth, how much will those guys cost? Maybe the insurance cost can scare the accountant to cry, and the good thing about computer stunts is that we don't have to pay high insurance premiums to the insurance company for the stuntman." ”

"I'm going to take you to Hong Kong to meet the Hong Kong movie stuntman, Hollywood is so alive!" said Yuan Kui as he put down his coffee cup heavily.

He has been in Hollywood for a few months, and if he is in Hong Kong, he has already filmed a few films, but here, the preparatory work for a "Death Express" is not over, those Hollywood screenwriters are still perfecting the script, executive producer Don Simpson is still analyzing where to shoot in which areas can get tax incentives, and his brother is still training with a group of actors who have signed contracts!

Director Rob Cohen and producer David Fincher are still discussing some of the steps and images in the shoot, and what they have recently done is modifying various props and how to install cameras in the car, which has nothing to do with action design!

At this rate, the movie may not be able to start for another month!

Yuan Kui knew that Huo Dongjun was not short of money now, and he was not in a hurry to use a movie to be released in a hurry to make water, and even he could receive a monthly salary of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars every month, but Yuan Kui just felt that he was about to be suffocated to death in this so-called world's highest movie hall.

"Aaron!" Yuan Kui grabbed his mobile phone and dialed Luo Weilun, who is currently in charge of Oriental Strip Film Company in Hollywood, "I'm going to take Rob Cohen, David Fincher, and Michael to Hong Kong to see what work efficiency and work ability are, can you help me calculate how much this expenditure will cost?"

"So angry, Brother Kui, it's so big that you want to go back to Hong Kong? Don't you, Jun Shao will definitely clean me up when you return to Hong Kong?" Luo Weilun on the other side of the phone was already surprised by Yuan Kui's angry tone, as he stayed in Hollywood, Yuan Kui's temper became bigger and bigger, and during this time, Luo Weilun had seen many Yuan Kui's complaints.

Yuan Kui said in a slightly excited tone: "I don't want to return to Hong Kong, I want to take these Yankees to Hong Kong to see how Chinese make movies, lest these ghosts fail to meet my requirements, and they also want to talk to me in the tone of Lao Tzu's number one in the world!

He is in Hong Kong, in Southeast Asia, not to mention being a martial artist, even the director has done it a few times, and now a Yankee stunt team can't do its own requirements, and he actually dares to make a loud voice with himself, so that Yuan Kui, who has always been introverted, can no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and makes up his mind to take a few ghost guys from the core group of this "Death Express" to Hong Kong to see how the stunt picture is filmed, and he has a big talk!

"You dissipate your anger, Brother Kui, it's a big deal, I'll ask ......" Luo Weilun also wanted to comfort Yuan Kui as before and dissipate his anger.

But this time, Yuan Kui didn't appreciate it, and before he finished speaking, he said: "I'll just ask you, how much will it cost to return to Hong Kong, if you don't count, I'll call Ah Jun myself, I can bear to make Western films, but I can't bear a group of street gangsters who can't do what I ask and are still swaggering in front of me! I came to Hollywood to make a film for Ah Jun, not to come all the way here to see the Yankees' face!"

"I'll fight, I can't fight?" Luo Weilun sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'll call Jun Shao immediately, but Brother Kui, if you want to take them to Hong Kong, do you have to talk to the producer and director first, maybe people may not be interested." ”

Yuan Kui didn't hang up the phone, and looked directly at Michael Bay, who was listening to his call: "Mike, I want to take you to Hong Kong to see the efficiency and ability of our Chinese to make movies, are you interested?"

Michael Bay actually admired Yuan Kui in his heart, although he knew that Yuan Kui had not engaged in professional learning when he chatted with Yuan Kui before, and he came out of a theater troupe to his current status step by step, but Yuan Kui's ability and imagination in prop design and action design opened his eyes to several people, including him. He can almost be designed by him as a weapon, can make a beautiful move, and he is also curious about the development of Hong Kong films, and even more curious about why Yuan Kui is sure that there are people in Hong Kong who can do dangerous actions that the Hollywood stunt team can't do.

He pressed the brim of his cap and said to Yuan Kui: "Of course I am willing to go to Hong Kong, but this movie is in preparation, and traveling during the work period will obviously not make our financiers happy." ”

Yuan Kui took a breath, thought about it, and said to Michael Bay while dialing Huo Dongjun's number: "I'll ask Ah Jun to help me book a plane ticket now, don't put you and these Yankees on level, you can't understand how to write the word professional, engage in computer stunts, I admit that my Hong Kong brothers are not as good as you Yankees, but professional, you are not worthy of lifting shoes for Chinese, don't let you see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid you will not be convinced!"
