Chapter 105: Take the Dragon Girl to Test Uncle Long?
Cheng Long was about to take back his previous words and have a good chat with Jamie about Jason Statham.
But Jamie pretended not to watch it, and continued to recommend an actor named Jason to Cheng Long.
Jason Momoa.
A male model with a height of 193 and a weight of 120 kg.
As soon as this figure data came out, even if Cheng Long had never heard of this person at all, the image of a tall and mighty strong man immediately appeared in his mind.
Then Cheng Long immediately guessed Jamie's plan.
"You want him to play Ah Fu, Valon's subordinate?"
Jamie nodded.
That's right, it's the black tiger Afu who talks a lot in the animation, and only uses skills and doesn't use flat A.
The shape of Afu in the anime is a reference to the Saiyans in "Dragon Ball" to a certain extent.
Because Ah Fu is a martial arts master from the Celestial Empire, Cheng Long once thought about selecting actors from Hong Kong Island.
And he's really considered the candidates.
At present, there are two people who are more favorite.
One is Santa Claus Xu Jinjiang, and the other is Dasha Cheng Kui.
In addition to the fact that these two are both big men of more than 1.8 meters, another important reason is that Cheng Long was influenced by animation, and always felt that Ah Fu should be a funny character.
It wasn't until Jamie said Jason Momoa's height and weight that Cheng Long suddenly woke up.
In addition to being funny, Ah Fu in the animation also has a powerful side.
It can face hard steel Cheng Long and Tru, with extremely strong combat power and super high explosive power.
If such a role is played by Xu Jinjiang or Cheng Kuiyu, even if special effects are used, it is estimated that it will be difficult to convince the audience that he can easily defeat Tru played by Richard Rowan, a sumo wrestler Yokozuna who is more than 2 meters tall and weighs more than 200 kilograms.
And live-action movies must not copy the exaggerated and funny expressions in animation.
In comparison, the Jason Momoa appearance conditions recommended by Jamie are indeed more convincing.
But when Jamie showed Cheng Long the photo of Jason Momoa participating in the Hawaii modeling contest two years ago on his phone, Cheng Long was directly stunned.
Where is this imaginary mighty man, saying that he is Guo Fucheng, Cheng Long is more willing to believe a little.
Of course, Jamie was just joking with Cheng Long.
He told Cheng Long that Jason Momoa had a fight with someone last year, and he received fourteen stitches on his forehead, which turned into a broken eyebrow, and his whole face became much more fierce.
Coupled with the fact that he began to grow a beard, if Cheng Long saw each other now, he would definitely think that this person was at least in his thirties.
And according to various information in his previous life, Jason Momoa's real personality is like a husky, looking very fierce, but in fact he is a tease.
Referring to Jason's appearance in "Aquaman", Jamie felt that there might be a surprise when he played Ah Fu.
The dragon group lineup is so luxurious, of course the villains can't be too stretched.
Jamie is going to improve the combat effectiveness of Ah Fen, Rasu, and Zhou San, who are under Warong in the animation.
Among them, Rasu, Jamie is going to find the Swedish action actor Duff Runger in the later "The Expendables" to play the role.
This guy is a black belt in extreme vacuum karate, and in Cheng Long's words, he is an action actor with real kung fu.
The image is also very suitable for the feeling of Lasu's "stupid big man" in the animation.
Then Ah Fen's setting in the animation is a Scotsman who likes rock music, and he can be regarded as the brain of the trio under Wallon.
This character Jamie searched in his head before, and finally decided to find the actor of the later Loki, Shake Sen, to play it.
For the rest of the week, it's a Celestial Empire in the anime, and he always wears a cool pair of triangular sunglasses when he appears.
When mentioning this role, Jamie did not immediately say who he liked, but raised his eyes to look at Cheng Long.
Cheng Long understood what Jamie meant, and immediately began to ponder.
The first thing he thought of was his junior brother Yuan Di, but after thinking about it, Zhou was just a villain.
called Yuan Yi to Hollywood, but let him play such a small role, not to mention that Cheng Long himself couldn't help it.
Even if the other senior brothers knew, they would not think that Cheng Long was promoting Yuan Di, but would scold him for being unkind.
In fact, the most trouble-free way is, of course, to find someone from the Long family class to act, anyway, I don't know the overseas audience.
But it didn't work with Jamie.
Jamie has watched most of the Hong Kong films, and it is definitely not possible to find a random person who is not famous to make up the number.
But the problem is that when Cheng Long made movies on Hong Kong Island, he didn't use the Long family's own team, or cooperated with Hong Jinbao and Yuan Di, unlike Li Lianjie, who made many movies and cooperated with many people.
Wait a minute!
Cheng Long suddenly had an idea, thinking of a person who often cooperates with Li Lianjie and plays the villain.
Zou Langlong!
Zou Longlong originally joined Hong Jinbao's Hong family class, but three years ago, when he was still filming "Rush Hour 1", Cheng Long heard that Zou Longlong was called to Hollywood by Yuan Heping to do martial arts instructors and train actors for "The Matrix" together.
If Zou Yuanlong is still in the Hong family's class, through the relationship between the senior brother Hong Jinbao, it is difficult for Cheng Long to directly recruit the other party.
But now Zou Langlong is with Yuan Heping, and Cheng Long's famous work "Drunken Fist" was with Yuan Heping, and the two are very familiar.
Cheng Long wants to find Zou Langlong to film, and he can do it by making a phone call to Yuan Heping.
Tell Jamie about the idea, and Jamie is also "surprised".
"It's the one who played the villain Chang Wei in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Jiupin Sesame Official"?"
Cheng Long nodded.
This coincides with the ideal person in Jamie's mind.
So Zhou's actor was decided.
In the end, there is only Jackie Chan Cinematic Universe stage mini-boss Wa Long.
The animated Rivaron is a British man with long silver hair.
This hairstyle is hardly visible in reality, but Jamie still thinks of someone.
John Travolta.
When he first heard this name, Cheng Long didn't react.
It wasn't until Jamie told him that it was the actor who danced the classic twist dance with Uma Thurman in the movie "Vulgar" that Cheng Long suddenly realized.
It turned out to be him!
Zhou Xingchi also paid tribute to this dance in his "Hundred Changing Stars".
Then there's nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, they are all villains, Cheng Long only needs to know that the other party's image is suitable and his acting skills are fine.
The remaining members of the three dragon groups, which have not yet been discussed, are the real highlights.
Daddy, Jade and Snake.
The character of Daddy is Cheng Long's cousin and martial arts master in the animation, and he also has a lot of strange martial arts and magic.
When creating this character, the animator referred to a lot of images of elders in Hong Kong films.
The prototype in reality should be a fusion of the images of Cheng Long's father and master.
It is said that to make a live-action movie, it is most appropriate to find these two people to act.
But Master Cheng Long had already passed away in '97.
And Cheng Long's father is now old, and it is even more impossible to come to the crew to toss.
Jamie deliberately didn't mention the selection of this role, just to see how long Cheng Long would be unable to hold his breath and take the initiative to provoke the topic.
Cheng Long's side obviously went through some careful consideration, and he came up with a direct showdown.
"For the role of Dad, I hope to find my senior brother Yuan Hua to play it."
"The general in "The Condor of the East"?"
Cheng Long looked up at Jamie in surprise.
Jamie has watched so many Hong Kong films, and it is not surprising that he knows Yuan Hua.
But Jamie directly said that Yuan Hua played the role closest to the image of the dad in the animation in all the movies.
There is only one possibility, that is, Jamie chose Yuan Hua like Cheng Long when considering the candidate for the role of Daddy.
Although Yuan Hua is only a few years older than Cheng Long, he looks older, his hair is dyed white, and he has no problem wearing elderly makeup to act as Cheng Long's cousin.
The successful finalization of the actor of the father also made Cheng Long also have great confidence in the candidates he wanted to recommend for the next two roles, Xiaoyu and Little Snake.
He mentioned the little snake first, but he actually wanted to test the meaning of Jamie's mouth.
In the animation, the little snake did not explicitly mention that she did not clearly mention which nationality she was, and the most notable feature was her black hair and sexy figure.
The character prototype of this role is the Asian actress Liu Yuling, who became popular with "Breaking Bad".
When the animator told Cheng Long about this decision, Cheng Long agreed.
After all, Liu Yuling was indeed very popular at that time, and Cheng Long had just cooperated with Liu Yuling to make a movie at that time.
"The Adventures of Cheng Long" is mainly aimed at the audience in the United States, and the character design must of course also take into account the preferences of the local audience.
But in the live-action version of the movie, Cheng Long doesn't plan to look for Liu Yuling.
Considering that Jamie estimated that people thought that Liu Yuling was the first choice for Little Snake, Cheng Long hesitated for a while before speaking.
"Jamie, I think the role of Little Snake, can you find a Celestial Empire person to play it?"
Jamie looked at Cheng Long with a calm expression.
"You're referring to the female killer in Rush Hour 2?"
Cheng Long's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide that he could almost stuff an egg.
Just when he thought he was thinking of being with Jamie again, Jamie shrugged his shoulders.
"Sorry, I don't think that's a good idea."
The very direct refusal caught Cheng Long by surprise.
Without waiting for Cheng Long to speak again, Jamie explained very seriously:
"Considering the market and audience tastes, as well as the diversified composition of actors, it is best for Little Snake to be played by a European and American actor, I have a few good candidates here, do you want to hear it?"
Looking at Jamie with a resolute face, Cheng Long's mouth moved, and finally compromised.
"Okay, who are these actresses you are talking about?"
"One is the heroine of "Pearl Harbor", Kate Beckinsale, and the other is actress Sophie Mays, who starred in a TV series that was a hit."
Jamie will never forget the scene of Kate Beckinsale jumping from the top of the bell tower in a tight black leather coat in "Tales of the Night".
Although the film won't be released until two years later, it doesn't prevent Jamie from putting Kate Beckinsale on the shortlist for the cast of Little Snake.
As for Sophie Mays, she has a face exactly the same as that of Hollywood sexy actress Megan Fox in her previous life.
Jamie has investigated that there is no Megan Fox in this world, and instead it is this Sophie Mays.
Sophie Mays from the movie "How to Betray Your Relatives"
