Chapter 420: Filming in progress
The filming of "Hurricane Rescue 23" in Istanbul was not particularly difficult, mainly grinding kung fu.
Let the actors bring out their best.
Three scenes are particularly important.
The first is that the male protagonist is trapped, and then cooperates with his daughter, and through the method of listening to the voice, the daughter finds the male protagonist and throws the pistol into the chimney.
The second is that the male protagonist escaped with his daughter, but his wife was kidnapped by the villain.
He walks the streets of Istanbul, using counting and listening to sounds to find the villain's lair.
The third is that the male protagonist is in the villain's lair, and he overthrows all the enemies by himself.
These three scenes can be regarded as the most exciting part of "Hurricane Rescue 2", and if these three scenes are filmed well, then "Hurricane Rescue 2" can basically pass the test.
The first two scenes are literary dramas, and a sense of urgency is created through editing and actors' performances.
This requires the actor to have excellent acting skills, and Amanda and Cheng Long have been preparing for a long time.
Cheng Long was more temperate, and Elizabeth. Hurry communicates less and spends more time acting on the story.
And Amanda spent more time looking for the script of the great director Lee Shengyao.
In the end, these two scenes were completed very well, and Director Li was very satisfied.
And the third scene is not only the last scene of "Hurricane Rescue 2" in Istanbul, but also the most dangerous scene.
The action instructors of the family class carefully studied and rehearsed continuously, and finally formulated a movement that everyone was satisfied with.
One of them is very similar to "Hurricane Rescue 2" that Lee Shengyao watched in his previous life.
is a villain on the fourth floor, the male protagonist is on the first floor, and the villain is shot by the male protagonist and falls down from the fourth floor.
When this villain was shot, he should not have died, and when his body fell, he pulled the trigger in the air.
The gunshots rang out incessantly.
It wasn't until it hit the ground that it hiccuped.
Li Shengyao didn't remind him that this was thought up by the martial artists of the family class, but it was exactly the same as an action scene that Li Shengyao saw in his previous life.
It should be fate.
Li Shengyao thinks this shot is very good and can aggravate the actor's sense of oppression.
However, he is still a little worried about the safety of the actors, after all, falling from the fourth floor, one is not good, and it will kill people.
"Director Li, it's okay, it's just the fourth floor, we have experience."
When the martial artist of the family class said this, Li Shengyao didn't say anything and let them arrange it.
On this day, after the continuous rehearsals of the martial artists, the extra finally met the requirements of the martial artists and was ready to shoot.
This extra is a stuntman of Tuji, and he has some ability.
Lee then announced the shooting, but the actors put on makeup, lighting, photography, and sets were all ready.
The actor stood on the fourth floor, looked down, and then flinched.
"Director, give me half an hour, I'll prepare."
"Okay, don't worry, we have time."
Director Li actually didn't have much time, he was the first to return to Istanbul from the mainland, and then continued filming.
But there is no Cheng Long's role.
And there are very few such scenes.
Cheng Long still has a lot of things to do in the mainland, he originally said that he would stay for seven days, but he stayed for ten days before rushing to Istanbul.
When Cheng Long returned to Istanbul, the time had already come to April.
Then they filmed other scenes, and now it's June 3rd, and Lee Shengyao hopes to end the filming in Tuji as soon as possible.
However, at this time, it is natural that you can't put pressure on the extras, so that he can relax and it will be easier to complete the shooting.
So Li Dadao stepped aside and sat down with a smile.
At this moment, the assistant hurried over.
But it's Toby. Emmerich is here.
Lee left the set with a smile and saw Toby at the door outside, "Man, welcome to Istanbul." ”
Toby nodded, a smile on his face, but a little reluctantly, "Lee, you're in really good shape." ”
After a while, the two of them sat down in a room on the set, and the assistant served a cup of coffee and a cup of water.
"Toby, do you have something on your mind?"
Toby nodded, picked up the coffee, and took a sip, "Lee, now the situation in the election over there in the beautiful country is even more severe, McCain often mentions you, saying that you are not from the beautiful country, but you have made a lot of money in the beautiful country, this is a plunder of the beautiful country, and his words have attracted the approval of many people." ”
"I'm not worried about the quality of your new movie, what I'm worried about is that under such public opinion, our film will be boycotted by many people in the future."
Although Warner is one of the big six in Hollywood, and it ranks highly.
But they can't influence McCain.
They were just as helpless about McCain's words.
He continued: "Not only some netizens, but also many Hollywood practitioners have also expressed their support for McCain, and they have made some incendiary words, and now Warner is under a lot of pressure. ”
Warner is under pressure, Lee Shengyao can understand, but you said Warner is under a lot of pressure, Toby. Emmerich came over personally for this, and Lee Shengyao didn't believe it.
Toby must have had something in mind.
Li Shengyao smiled, "Toby, what does Warner think?"
"Disney has a bigger say in the beautiful country, and they can spread our words more widely, and I think we can cooperate with Disney."
"Oh, is Disney so generous?"
Li Shengyao asked knowingly and followed.
Toby smiled awkwardly, "Lee, of course not, we need to pay some price and let Disney help us." ”
"What does Disney want?"
"They're going to pay for two parts of the red, two percent of the copyright."
Toby immediately stated his true purpose for coming this time.
According to the previous agreement, after the movie is released, Fenghua's five components will be red, China Film and Cheng Long will each be red, and Warner will be thirty percent.
In terms of copyright, it is seventy percent and Warner is thirty percent.
Now that Disney is coming, Lee Shengyao's dividends and copyrights are much less.
Lee Shengyao doesn't think that Disney is specifically staring at "Hurricane Rescue 23", he thinks it is more likely that Warner has a deal with Disney, but has taken out the benefits of "Hurricane Rescue 23".
Li Shengyao will naturally not regress, and the dividends and copyrights are less than 20%, that is, 20 or 30 million US dollars.
Enough for him to build a cinema in the mainland.
As for McCain's threat, he didn't take it to heart.
When Okuhei comes up, he will naturally say good things to him.
Li Shengyao paused for a moment, and then said, "Toby, I refuse such a deal. ”
Toby Emmerich's eyes widened and he looked at Lee Shengyao in confusion.
McCain's attack on Director Li and "Hurricane Rescue 23" can be found out, and he didn't make it up.
People who have never written about McCain's level can't stop Director Li.
"Lee, his identity is not ordinary, although Warner has a lot of power in Hollywood, we can't suppress him."
"It's okay, let him say it, I'm sure his words won't affect the box office."
Toby's face was full of doubt, "Why are you so confident?"
"Toby, I'm more bullish on Ohei, and my country is getting stronger and stronger, and I believe that we will be good friends in the future, and then all this negative news will dissipate."
Toby frowned, he didn't expect Li Shengyao to think so.
However, Okuhei is indeed a hit.
He thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Li, what if what you said didn't happen?" ”
"Then delay the release for two or three years, I think there should be no problem."
Toby. Emmerich's mouth widened, then he nodded blankly, "No problem." ”
At this moment, the stuntman on the other side was ready, and Lee nodded to Toby, and then left.
He returned to the filming set, asked the actors and martial artists, and after making sure that everything was ready, he re-announced the start of filming.
I saw Cheng Long shoot upwards with a prop gun, and the stuntman who played the gangster was shot, and then screamed, and then his upper body was crooked, and he fell down from the fourth floor, and his body fell straight down.
"Bang!"
With the safety rope and the ground below cushioned, the stuntman fell down smoothly.
However, the process of falling was so fast that the stuntmen did not react to the shooting.
"You forgot to shoot."
There was a martial artist shouting.
The stuntman stood up, looked apologetic, and then said in the native language, "Sorry, director, I was too nervous just now." ”
Li Shengyao shook his head and patted the stuntman on the shoulder, "It's okay, don't worry, we have a lot of time." ”
With Lee Shengyao's forgiveness, the tension on the stuntman's face was much less.
Then the filming continued, and after Li Shengyao's explanation, as well as the guidance and drills of the martial artists, the stuntman became more proficient in the next moves.
Then I shot it eight times in a row.
The last two times were good, and Li Shengyao felt that it could be used, so he announced that this scene was over.
The warriors and actors immediately prepared for the next scene, and they had to continue to move and rehearse.
Because it is an action scene, there is no need for Li Shengyao to take the position.
Li Shengyao's workload here is much less, and he can relax a little.
"Li, it's really good."
Toby hadn't left yet, he saw the filming of the scene just now.
There are actually a lot of action scenes like this in Hollywood, but Toby always feels that the action scenes are special for China, and Hollywood follows the shooting, and the procedure is exactly the same, but it still can't shoot that flavor.
Li Shengyao smiled and pointed to Cheng Long and the people in the family class, "It's all their credit." ”
Toby nodded, he felt that he had found the reason why Lee Shengyao was so confident.
It's not just out of trust in Okuhei.
It's more because I have an absolute grasp of the work, and I believe that even if it is delayed for two or three years, it will still sell well.
So Li Shengyao doesn't care about McCain's words at all, and he doesn't care about the current public opinion.
"Lee, I see what you mean, but I still want to make sure, are you sure you reject Disney and let McCain's rhetoric spread?"
"I'm sure."
Toby sighed, knowing that this time WarnerHugh wanted the benefits of Hurricane Rescue 23 to make a deal with Disney.
He nodded, "Okay, I see what you mean, you work hard, I look forward to your finished product." ”
Since there is no way to use it, then it is good to cooperate.
Li Shengyao didn't know what Toby was thinking, so he smiled and nodded, "There is absolutely no problem with this, at the latest ten days, we will go to the beautiful country and continue to shoot the follow-up plot." ”
