Chapter 363: No one can defeat Fang Long in the Furniture City
These days, Shi Xiaolong or other friends in China mentioned this matter when they called him.
The same discussion is also going on in China.
Chen Linfeng specifically asked people he knew in Neon or Bangguo, and the situation was almost the same.
Although it relies on the name of the Cannes Film Festival itself and the topic is not sensitive, it is content that the public likes to hear and has some entertainment value.
But it is still too exaggerated to make it so big.
Chen Linfeng was a little frightened, but also a little greedy.
It would be great if in the future, I could also master similar public opinion building capabilities.
Now v stands in the hand and is developing very smoothly.
In the next few months, the first generation of Weibo will be launched.
Chen Linfeng has been waiting for a long time.
He squinted his eyes. He was ready to throw money at him. He hoped that Sina would not be disrespectful and refuse to accept his money.
Otherwise, he will have to...
Spend more.
If you don’t believe there are people who don’t even make money, the example of Zuckerberg is there.
He now has the confidence to throw money at people.
I am no longer the weakling who wanted to buy Penguin shares but had no money to do so.
......
"Director, you have become famous again, and the Ellen Show is also discussing you."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand to indicate that he knew that there was not much explain.
Since Yingguang's marketing started, many people in the crew have been watching the excitement and will update the news every day.
It seems that the topic of his own director is being entertained.
However, these fun people, mostly from China, will continue to pay attention to this topic.
Those behind the scenes and actors in Hollywood did not participate in the discussion.
They are a group of their own and do not interact much with people in China.
There is a clear distinction between the two.
Chen Linfeng saw it and remained silent.
Although it still looked unharmonious, he wouldn't care much if it didn't affect the shooting.
From the beginning, Chen Linfeng never thought that these people could play together.
Originally, he expected that there would always be some accidents when the filming officially started, so he would take the opportunity to strike a chord when the time came.
No matter what you think in your heart, you can't affect my affairs.
Who knew that things would change after Cannes won the Palme d'Or.
Although we still don’t communicate much, the visible alienation before is now much less.
On this point, Lu Yang has come to give feedback.
In his words, "My nose used to be raised to the sky, but now I can at least look at people."
It seems that the group knows how to watch what others order.
You know, Chen Linfeng is certainly a double-gold director and attracts the attention of the world.
However, he did not rely solely on himself to win the award, and the increase in reputation and status after winning the award will not only fall on him.
Cao Yu and others in the crew also have double-gold resumes.
In the eyes of others, they can also be called industry giants.
With such a resume, no matter where you are, you can make people take a high look.
The previous group of white men, who were Mark’s team members, also had extensive experience.
As an industry elite, it’s okay to look down on crew members from developing countries.
A Golden Lion Award does not explain the problem too much.
But now the news about Chen Linfeng is spreading all over the world.
There's no way they couldn't see it.
Golden Lion and Golden Palm, a crew that can achieve such results would be a top-notch match anywhere.
Naturally, there is no longer any arrogance, and you can clearly see the opponent's level.
As for Fanglong’s team, they are easy to convince.
Hong Kong Island Fighters has always been ahead in terms of action and stunts. When suppressed by technology, those people's mentality changes the fastest.
This is also one of the reasons why Van Rooster was able to thrive in Hollywood in the past.
The team is strong and can suppress the discriminatory mentality of Hollywood. Naturally, there will not be so many clumsiness that affects the quality of the work.
“Okay, that’s it for today’s shooting. Let’s put things away and finish the finishing work before we leave.”
After Chen Linfeng announced loudly, everyone responded in unison. He made a sound and then called it a day as usual.
In lockstep and orderly.
As time went by, the crew finally had some intention of forming a joint force.
Huh~
He exhaled, looking a little worried.
"Xiao Chen, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing. I feel that the progress is a bit too slow. I won't be able to shoot for long every day before it has to end."
Fang Long smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The daily shooting time in Europe and the United States is limited, so we can't keep up with the schedule. Just get used to it."
In the past, the shooting time was only two or three months at most. Stretch for a month.
Chen Linfeng said helplessly, "It's not that I have to work overtime, but sometimes I just get better and have to get off work on time, which affects the rhythm too much."
He used to work in China , usually if you work overtime at the beginning, you will make up for it later.
Sometimes the shooting is smoother. If you shoot more, you might be able to save the next day or two.
After all, the actor's condition is an unstable factor.
But now I have no choice but to click.
This is also a difference between different countries and regions, and Chen Linfeng can only try his best to overcome it.
"Brother, how are you feeling recently? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Fang Long thought about it and said, "It's okay, I'll try my best to adapt."
Everyone is uncomfortable in their own way.
The movie "The Rescue" is quite different from Fang Long's previous style.
It’s not just a matter of getting a gun.
How to hold a gun, how to shoot, how to make evasive movements, how to look like a professional agent...
During the time when Chen Linfeng went to the Cannes Film Festival, Fang Long always If you participate in training, you will practice these contents. So far, he has been able to do it in a decent way.
Supplemented by on-site teaching from military consultants, there is basically no chance of anything going wrong.
The difficulty lies in the action scenes.
Past vanosaurus-style action movies often looked exciting.
But there is no doubt that the traces of trickery are still quite obvious.
The most important thing is that there are few shots in the fight that are fatal and without delay.
As for Fang Long’s role this time, because he is eager to save his daughter, he must be quick, accurate and ruthless in situations where he cannot use his gun.
At the same time, its identity setting also determines that the fighting scenes must make the audience feel that the protagonist is a ruthless character who is used to hitting hard.
It makes people look at it and feel that the villain was beaten very painfully.
Fang Long has been thinking about how to design movements these days.
During the filming some time ago, there was only one bare-handed action scene.
That was the beginning of the plot. As a security guard, he had to protect a singer from being hurt.
The action style mainly adheres to a clean and neat style, just adapt some military uniform techniques.
The complex situation behind is not so simple.
Fang Long chatted with Chen Linfeng for a few words. After they separated, he was still thinking about it.
Whether you can make a fighting design that meets the requirements is a test question.
This was an unspoken agreement between the two of them.
If Fang Long can find a plan by himself, Fang Long will be fully responsible for the action.
He will have greater autonomy in the future.
If not, then just be an actor and get paid to do things.
Fang Long has been working for so many years, and of course he doesn't want to just be a pure actor.
Not only for the sake of face, but also for profit reasons.
Whether you can deeply participate in creation will determine whether you can serve more food.
This is not to convince Xiao Chen, but to convince other investors.
After all, Xiao Chen only accounts for 40%, and now it seems to be a trend of becoming a routine.
Everyone is fighting for how to divide the remaining 60% of the next "Taken 2".
After the Palme d'Or, too many people are optimistic about Xiao Chen's movies.
Even for a movie like this that has not yet started filming, some people are starting to worry about its second part.
Yang Shoucheng called him specifically and told him the importance of this matter.
Fang Long shook his head and continued to focus on action design.
In fact, he has been around for so many years and has seen too many types of movements, and he has more than one set of ideas in his mind.
The key is which one Xiao Chen wants.
He kept trying various movements with his hands, but after a while he felt something was not quite right.
It is indeed very different from his previous style.
It would be fine if it was just him who felt something was wrong, but it would be difficult if the audience also felt weird and acted out.
Fang Long used to be an actor, director, and producer, so he would naturally consider the subsequent release of the film.
I think Xiao Chen has a similar position to him, and they are also the type of shoulder-to-shoulder type.
This will definitely be taken into consideration.
Is that so?
Fanglong’s eyes lit up.
He somewhat understood the reason why he failed to pass the routine in front of Xiao Chen several times before.
In other words, it is necessary to maintain the original style as much as possible while also conforming to the settings and characteristics of the new drama.
So what was my previous style like?
In other words, what do I look like in the eyes of the audience?
When Fang Long is here, he should be on the right track.
But if you can't do it behind closed doors, you have to ask others.
He found people from the Long family class and asked them one by one.
"Brother, what is your style? You should be a comedy action star."
Fang Long shook his head. Comedy does not fit the style of this movie, and it is definitely not this.
“I feel like I dare to fight hard, so many thrilling actions will definitely make the audience enjoy watching.”
Fang Long frowned, he was a little unable to do thrilling moves now.
Xiao Chen also said before that he wants to change his career as he gets older, so this is probably not the direction.
He looked at the other brother.
“I think it’s because of my quick movements. Isn’t the parkour that young people do nowadays just a matter of learning.”
Huh?
Fang Long had a flash of inspiration and felt a little close.
I remember Xiao Chen mentioned it in a chat before, saying that his actions were very handsome.
He looked at others expectantly.
At this time, Ah Sheng, the youngest member of the team, raised his hands and said,
“I have seen a saying on the Internet, which seems to have been first spread from Director Chen’s blog, and it refers to the eldest brother. .”
Fang Long became interested, "What do you mean?"
Ah Sheng recalled it, "It seems that no one can defeat Fang Long in the furniture city...?"
He again After confirming it in his mind, he affirmed, "Well, this is it. It has become a meme on the Internet, and it has spread quite widely."
Fanglong was a little confused, "What do you mean, I haven't done it many times. The drama in the Furniture City.”
You young people, can you tell me something that I can understand.
Ah Sheng explained, "It's just that my brother is very good at using tools. Whether it's a chair, a table or something else, he can always do tricks."
One word woke up the dreamer.
Fang Long thought, this is it!
How to show that he strikes hard and hits people with something, and it definitely gives people a different feeling than using his bare hands.
In the past, he always dabbled in it. Even if he borrowed tools, it was always with a comedy element.
In addition, it was a habit from the Hong Kong film era in the past, such as hitting someone with a chair. The chair may be broken, but the person is still fine.
But the reality is that if the chair is okay, the person will be bloody.
Towards the fatal part, the problem can be solved in one go.
Fang Long felt clear in his heart, this should be what Xiao Chen wants.
