Chen Musheng wanted to say that no, Hong Kong actors know how to understand rough scripts, and make qualified performances according to the dialogue and the director's on-site instructions.

"This is a very, very cool story" When David Fincher and Chen Musheng were discussing the details of the script, Michael Bay had already finished reading the script, and exclaimed excitedly: "Chen, your story is very good, this is the movie that young people should watch, drag racing, beautiful women, gunfights and explosions, but some of the pictures are not too exaggerated, I don't comment on the pictures of drag racing, but using a T-shirt to subdue two opponents, isn't it too exaggerated? And it seems that there are too many scenes of hand-to-hand combat, The audience probably doesn't want to see a story about Bruce Lee appearing in the modern day to deliver couriers, IMHO, those Chinese kung fu occasionally seem to be eye-opening, but if it happens in a modern city, it would be a little ridiculous, but I still have to say, this story is really great."

"Regarding those actions, Mr. Huo has more say in the matter, these action scenes are designed according to his original idea, and what you said about subduing two opponents with clothes is his idea. Chen Musheng said to Michael Bay.

"An eye-opener, sir. After listening to Chen Musheng's words, Michael Bay stretched out his hand to Huo Dongjun again in admiration: "It's comparable to Bruce Lee's movie scene." ”

"No, it's going to be more nimble and look more realistic than those movements. Huo Dongjun said with a smile, but his eyes looked at David Fincher: "David, are you ready? Can you tell me who needs to complete this movie, and how much does it cost?"

David Fincher was silent for a while before he spoke: "Sir, your investment in this movie is 10 million US dollars, so my question is, do you need to invite those real Hollywood stars to star in the star role, increase your popularity, or use some non-famous actors, and use more funds to improve the stunts and pictures of the movie? The number can only be given after the selection of the filming location, the tax system of the filming location, the cost of consumption, the cost of props, etc., are all determined. ”

"So, can I think that you think you are going to take over this movie?" Huo Dongjun asked.

"Of course, why not, it's a good story, albeit not stylistically outstanding. David Fincher said.

David Fincher signed a contract with Oriental Zone Film Company and became the first person to join the film preparation team of "Death Express", with professionals joining, Huo Dongjun suddenly felt idle, first David Fincher invited two screenwriters from AI, plus Chen Musheng, and the three began to improve the script in more detail, and while the script was perfected, David Fincher began to recruit another co-producer who was responsible for the early stage of film preparation, and was often called the executive producer, David Finch Tong Guòcaa chose Don Simpson-Jerry Bruckheimer, one of the owners of Don Simpson Films, who is also a Hollywood actor and director-producer.

Jerry Bruckheimer is actually more famous than Don Simpson, but David Fincher didn't think about Jerry Bruckheimer at all, because that guy is a bit strong, as an executive producer, if he can't be consistent with the producer, then the work of the entire core group can't be carried out perfectly, David Fincher also believes that Jerry Bruckheimer won't come to be an executive producer for a rookie, but Don Simpson has no problem, he has a more easy-going personality, and is willing to support newcomers in this industry, the most important thing is He has enough experience in action movies, and his two-part blockbuster "Beverly Hills Super Detective" as executive producer Zuò is the best illustration of this

Don Simpson's main job in the early stage was to assist David Fincher in preparing the preliminary budget and shooting plan, preparing various guarantees and contracts for various unions, obtaining all necessary permits and determining insurance coverage, etc.

Huo Dongjun is the identity of the owner of the production company, so the identity of the film script is the producer, that is, the person in charge of the core team of the supervision and management of the film, and many times there is no need to directly intervene in the affairs of the crew, but after Huo Dongjun has this title, he acted arbitrarily once, that is, he introduced Yuan Kui from Hong Kong to David Fincher and Don Simpson, and then proposed Yuan Kui as the second assistant director, the second assistant director is one of the members of the core group, and it 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 of a movie need to be taken care of by the second assistant director.

Although David Fincher was a little dissatisfied with Huo Dongjun's behavior of stuffing a second assistant director before the choice of director was even decided, he still nodded in the end, no way, he is a newcomer, if he provokes the anger of investors, anyway, it is now the preparation period, Huo Dongjun can completely replace him, and find a maker to replace him, and Don Simpson next to him may be a better candidate.

With Yuan Kui and the second head of the sect to help keep an eye on the crew, Huo Dongjun was completely idle, in Hollywood, from the preparation to the release of a movie, one or two years is a common thing, even if it is urgent, an action movie with too many scenes like "Death Express", more than half a year is also essential, mainly in addition to shooting, there are too many things that need to be prepared during the preparation period, such as if you want to contact a director, you must first contact the Directors Guild of America, if you want to contact the actors, you must first contact the Screen Actors Guild, and you must choose a location, You have to go to the local government to apply for a shooting permit and so on.

Americans are not interested in the Spring Festival, but the second day of the Spring Festival is the 6th anniversary of Washington, D.C., every state in the United States has held grand banquets and public activities, Huo Dongjun took Xi Rong and Chen Baolian to see the Yankees paraded in the streets for the holiday, people wore clothes printed with Washington's head, held American flags, and went to the city center to listen to government officials to commemorate Washington's speeches and so on.

Blake King has already gone to help Xi Rong and Chen Baolian contact a school called Webb Middle School, which is divided into a boys' school and a girls' school, implements a separate education system for men and women, and is also one of the old famous schools in the United States, and the admission rate is also very high, at least there will be no failure to enter college after finishing middle school.

Originally, he wanted to take the two of them to see the environment of the Weber school first, but before Huo Dongjun could arrange the time, the Hong Kong side called, it was Liu Zhenwei.

Huo Dongjun was standing by the pool of the hotel in swimming trunks, watching the two girls being taught to swim by Zhang Le and Luo Ailing in the pool:

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Xingchi's "The Saint of Gambling" is strong at the box office, and the Spring Festival file has rolled down more than 12 million in just one week, and a newcomer is a hit, and the result is troublesome? Some companies are upset that he is filming, but the filming is worse, and the worst thing is that they want to poach him. ”
