Chapter 294: It's Not Your Problem / If You Want a Surprise, Add Money
For filmmakers, the sense of ritual of turning on the film is a must.
The opening ceremony of Huaxia requires incense and red cloth.
On the other hand, prayer is the same as opening champagne, and the steps are similar.
Su Mu took Little Tangerine and the translator into Van Diese's crew.
The people in the various departments in the studio seemed a little crowded.
In the innermost,
The crowd was crowded around Van Dyse and several actors and actresses who were either handsome or sexy in appearance.
In fact, two weeks ago, all the roles were finalized.
It's just that the process of getting acquainted with each other, Van Diese is all about after entering the group.
So Su Mu only saw all the actors for the first time today.
Shorthand the plot of the first part,
It revolves around the first meeting of the two male protagonists.
The important characters in it are in addition to Brian played by Su Mu and Dominic played by Van Dise.
And Dominica's woman, Letty.
and his sister, Mia.
There are also team members, Vince, Tygi, etc.
…
"Wow, isn't that Jordana! International supermodel! ”
Little Orange's eyes widened and he said in surprise.
Su Mu heard the sound and looked over.
It was a sexy blonde woman with plump buttocks and curves... If you compare it with domestic actresses,
It may be four times as big as Tong Han, three times as big as Ning Yuyan, twice as big as Qiong Anqi, and 1.5 times as big as Ai Yanran.
Of course, Su Mu actually paid little attention to these.
He cares more about their connotations.
You know, the feeling of having more and less gives people is different.
Su Mu looked at the little orange and was a little surprised: "Do you still know international supermodels?" Don't you usually only pay attention to the top brothers in China? ”
Little Tangerine looked proud: "Of course I know, I don't delay watching my brother to see them, so boss, do you want to play against her?" Oh no, it's an emotional drama! ”
Su Mu had seen the list of actors given to him by Fan Dissay before, so in fact, he already knew that the actor who played Mia was an international supermodel named Joanna.
Su Mu had never heard of this name before.
But it is said that this Jordana is still somewhat famous in Europe, and many people like it.
Anyway, Su Mu doesn't pay special attention to these, because he is too busy with his work and has little time to pay attention to the foreign entertainment industry.
But Xiao Tangerine is different, in addition to being an assistant to herself, she is also a qualified gossip expert, whether it is at home or abroad, but everyone who is famous basically knows it.
And the emotional drama she said is really not nonsense.
Brian played by Su Mu and Mia played by her are indeed a couple in the play, and they are very loving and sweet.
There are a lot of kiss scenes in the script, which are quite passionate, and Van Dyse has not been cut at all.
In line with the local customs, Su Mu felt that the scale of acting skills should also be adjusted to cater to the tastes of Europeans and Americans.
While thinking, Su Mu looked again, and there was another actress next to Jordana.
This is another heroine, named Michelle, who plays opposite Van Diese, who is a woman in Dominica in the play, and is also one of the top models on the cover of the magazine, just like Jordana.
In a place like the United States, most of the supermodels with excellent appearance and image will eventually go to film and television.
In fact, in Su Mu's memory, it was the same in his previous life.
For example, Gage Gadot, who came out in the late stage of the rapid surge, several generations of heroines of Transformers, etc.
Almost all of them went out of the modeling industry, and then went to the movie screen, and were known by fans from all over the world, and they have also made great achievements.
Therefore, the film and television industry actually attaches great importance to appearance.
The shape condition determines the lower limit.
And whether it can go higher depends on the follow-up efforts and professionalism.
At this point,
Many actors in the center of the studio have gathered.
Van Dise glanced up at Su Mu, who was walking this way, and then he got up and smiled and spoke.
"Everyone, another actor of ours has arrived, I believe you have heard it before, this is a very outstanding actor I invited from Huaxia, his name is Su Mu, I hope that the follow-up filming can work together."
Van Diesse is starting to warm up.
And the people around them also nodded, and then moved their eyes to Su Mu who came over.
"Very handsome oriental face, better than I expected."
"I just don't know if I can become the male protagonist of this play."
"It's hard to say, you know, it's not like no one came to us to try it a few years ago, but the response was mediocre."
Su Mu's height and appearance are actually quite capable of fighting.
Different from those thin fresh meat in China, after several years of training, Su Mu's physical condition is very in line with the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans.
Since there were previous martial arts and fighting, the muscle lines are quite standard.
This is perhaps the only thing that catches their eye at the moment.
The whispering around did not stop.
"This is the Chinese star who took Van Diese to drag racing, I can see that Van Diesel attaches great importance to him, but I still can't figure it out, why does he think the European and American markets can accept such an oriental face? What if you don't accept it? ”
"Didn't you watch the video of him racing before? It's quite exciting, I admire it, in fact, in some ways, he's still quite good, of course, in drag racing, which is very much in line with the core of the movie. ”
"I do know that he used to play in the MMA league and challenge for the Asian belt, and if he didn't come to the movie, I think he could even go to the UFC."
"It's not surprising, I heard that in Huaxia, each of them knows kung fu, very powerful."
"Really?"
Just when everyone was discussing.
Sumu arrived.
Fan Diesse greeted him warmly, took the lead in greeting Su Mu, and then solemnly began to introduce to everyone.
Sumu is also a one-by-one understanding.
In addition to Jordana and Michelle, there are several men who are well-known actors in the United States.
Van Diese: "Jordana, this is Su Mu, you have a lot of rival scenes in the play, and you two can communicate a little when you go through the script later, believe me, Su Mu is actually a very interesting person." ”
Van Diesey helped Sumu warm up.
Jordana looked up with a smile, and there were a pair of enthusiastic eyes on the bridge of her tall nose: "Hello Su Mu, I'm sorry I didn't pay much attention to the Asian film and television industry before, but I think we can get to know each other more in the future, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation this time." ”
It may be that the way foreigners chat is more direct.
So the woman's words don't seem to be as fiery as her appearance.
The meaning is obvious, she doesn't know Su Mu, but it doesn't prevent them from communicating in the future.
Perhaps it is due to a hint of arrogance brought about by the international position of the Western film industry.
Even with such an awkward conversation, she didn't hide it.
Su Mu's expression was indifferent: "Okay, happy cooperation." ”
For these words, if it was in the past, maybe it can ignite some desire to win in my heart.
But now Su Mu is very calm, and he will not even be sensitive because of the slightest contempt that the other party has.
It's not that he doesn't care, it's that he knows that there is no need to say much in this case.
If you want to win respect, it is often more convincing to prove it with practical actions.
After getting acquainted with everyone.
Van Diese held the opening ceremony.
The process was simple, everyone opened the champagne together, and then cheered and turned on the camera lens, which was the perfect start.
There was no long delay, and the crew quickly returned to their posts.
Filming began.
The filming of this film, Van Diesse is divided into several sections.
Some of them are outdoor stunt shots, and the other is indoor plot scenes with a lot of lines.
So the usual logic is to follow the plot line of the script first and complete the shooting of simple indoor emotional scenes.
Then, at a specific time, after the preparation of the facilities is complete, those difficult shoots are carried out.
There are quite a lot of scenes in Fast and Furious drag racing, and many thrilling scenes need to be arranged quite carefully.
For example, the shot of a sports car shuttling left and right under the territory of a 10,000-ton truck.
Just thinking about it, I know it's going to be exciting.
But if such a clip simply uses special effects, it will have no taste.
So the process must be the pursuit of authenticity.
And to accomplish this, the cost of preparation is enormous.
The vehicles in the play will be equipped with two or even more of the same model, just to avoid the situation that the vehicle is damaged but the shooting is unsuccessful, and there is no vehicle to continue to use when it is restarted.
The cost of acquiring a vehicle alone is enormous.
…
After filming began, everyone quickly got into the groove.
Maybe it's because when they introduced each other before, Van Dyse felt a little embarrassed.
So I also looked for Su Mu in private.
Van Disse patted Su Mu's shoulder, and then smiled: "Su Mu, I hope you don't be surprised, in fact, Jordana's words don't mean anything else."
You know, many actors are working most of the time, and the news is relatively closed, maybe they only know the entertainment news of the United States, and they are usually not very familiar with some foreign stars. ”
Su Mu looked at Fan Disai and expressed his understanding and sympathy for this role of being both a father and a mother in the crew.
"Don't worry, I know, I didn't think much of it, and they don't know me, that's not their problem, it's my problem, if I'm good enough, maybe I'll be able to stand on the international stage a long time ago."
Hearing Su Mu speak like this, Van Dise's hanging heart finally let go.
And I suddenly felt a little admiration in my heart.
"Brother, I know that there are no factors that can affect you, you will stand on the international stage of Su Mu, you know, I can find you, that is, I am absolutely optimistic about your potential, and I know that you have that ability, so relax, just as if this is in China, there is no difference in timing, isn't it?
Since you've made movies that have made things that surprise everyone, I think you can create more surprises in this Fast & Furious, right? ”
Su Mu raised his eyebrows after listening.
Good guys, it sounds okay in the first half, why did you start chicken soup with flatbread later?
"Van Diese, although thank you for caring for me, there is one thing I want to say, acting is not the same as creating surprises.
Of course, I don't rule out the possibility of trying to surprise people during the shoot.
But only if you have to add a little more money to me. ”
“!?”
Hearing this, Fan Disai's previous emotions vanished, and he turned into some helplessness.
He covered his chest, and then nervously opened a certain person: "Su, I found that you are good at everything, but you just like money too much."
We've signed contracts before, and I've increased your pay to $20 million.
You know, this is already a very high price, aren't you satisfied? You can't be too greedy. ”
Su Mu shook his head with a smile: "I'm not greedy, but dedicated to work!" Increasing money means that I have a higher pursuit of work, but not adding money is a mixed eating and drinking. ”
Dedicated? Can you do without a stand-in for the subsequent dangerous shots? Van Dyse smiled and said, "Dude, okay, I know you're kidding." ”
Su Mu: "I'm never joking at work. ”
Van Diese: "......"
…
The chat ended quickly.
Van Diesse went to the filming location.
Then Qian Jida took two cups of coffee and walked to Su Mu's side at some point.
Qian Jida: "What did you tell him?" ”
Su Mu: "Add money." ”
Qian Jida: "......"
Su Mu: "But he doesn't seem to have figured it out yet, it's okay, take your time." ”
Qian Jida: "But haven't we added it once before?" Wouldn't that be too much? ”
Su Mu shook his head: "Mr. Qian, do you know how much profit the movie 'Fast and Furious' will create in the future?" If you believe me, there is a high probability that ten films will be filmed in a row. ”
Qian Jida looked stunned: "What? Ten in a row? Don't make a fuss, this first part hasn't started yet, and you've already predicted ten? How is this possible. ”
Su Mu: "There is nothing impossible, as long as this one is successful, then there will be 'quick excitement 23456789...' in the future."
So that's why I'm going to add money to my death. ”
"Why?"
"You think, there are so many more films in the future, and this one is the starting point, if my salary is going to be low, then when I cooperate in the future, the salary space for Van Diesse will be too big.
Therefore, the bottom line of the salary must be raised, and the next few films can get more. ”
Qian Jida: "......"
Little Orange: "......"
…
…
"Attention groups, Ike God!"
Fast & Furious officially started filming.
In terms of the plot of the first part, it is actually more down-to-earth than the later ones.
In the main line, Brian played by Su Mu acted as an undercover agent in order to solve the recent biker carjacking, broke into the active biker gang here, and quickly won the appreciation and trust of the biker boss, that is, 'Dominic' played by Van Diesse, with his superb car skills.
And in the process, Brian falls in love with Dominic's sister, Mia.
Through the contact of the incident, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up.
The bikers' second-in-command, Vince, is hostile to Brian because he has always had a crush on Mia, and Brian's arrival threatens his second-in-command.
At the same time, they had an accident during an operation.
Then Dominic began to suspect that they were hiding FBI spies inside, and Brian was discovered because of his undercover identity.
But the longer he and Dominic met, the deeper their friendship grew.
Faced with a dilemma, Brian finally chose to stand with his brothers, and in the end, they went through an exciting battle to solve the big trouble behind them.
In general, the plot line is like this.
So most of the wonderful content is actually in drag racing footage.
…
A few days later.
Location shooting begins.
Los Angeles Street ......
