Chapter 146 Let him toss
Seine Riverside!
A Citroen fast food truck painted in bright yellow drove in style on the road along the river.
In a square by the river, gypsies were dancing happily, graffiti art painted huge portraits of beautiful women on the ground, vendors were shouting about business, and there was a bustle of people coming to shop.
The food truck drove into the square. After parking, the wings and back cover were all opened, and a few aluminum plates stretched out, turning it into a simple mobile restaurant.
Yang Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked at this food truck, because when he was a child, he saw the movie "Food Truck" on TV and dreamed of owning such a food truck.
Unexpectedly, through time and space, he himself became the creator of the movie "Food Truck".
“We’re ready to start shooting, everyone is in position, where’s the lighting?”
“Young Master Yang is here!”
“The lighting is too biased at this time, remember when shooting Shade.”
"Yes!"
"Where is the skateboard stuntman?"
"Here!" Xu Feng came over with a young man and said to Yang Ye: "Director, his name is Ishihara Shigeru , is the skateboard stuntman this time."
"Hello!" Yang Ye said hello to the little book, and suddenly turned to look at Xu Feng and said with a frown: "What the hell are you doing? His hairstyle is different from Aaron’s, so how can he be a substitute for Aaron?”
In the movie “Fast Food Truck”, there is a scene where Chen Long rides a skateboard to attract customers, although it has nothing to do with the plot of the movie. Helps, but the flashy skateboarding tricks enhance the watchability of the film.
If you watch the original movie carefully, you will find that... the man on the skateboard is not Chen Long at all. In the subtitles at the end of the film, the name of the skateboard stuntman also appears.
Although she was his wife, Yang Ye showed no mercy and scolded Xu Feng in public.
Xu Feng knew that he was delaying the matter and did not dare to talk back. He quickly said: "I will think of a way right away."
Although Xu Feng pretended to be a producer this time, in fact she was just an errand boy. Yes, the one who is really in charge is Chen Ziqiang.
Xu Feng has to do everything Chen Ziqiang tells him personally. Only in this way can he become familiar with this position as soon as possible.
"What can you think of? Props team, bring me a newspaper and a pair of scissors!"
Yang Ye scolded him, and he had to wipe his wife's butt.
Xu Feng did not dare to reply, so he ran to find newspapers and scissors with the prop team and gave them to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye asked Ishihara Shigeru to sit on a stool and said to him: "Mr. Ishihara, I will give you a look."
He then said to Chen Long: "Aaron, help me. A model.”
"Okay!" Chen Long came over and sat down with Ishihara Shigeru and smoothed things over: "Mr. Yang, do you still have your skills?"
Yang Ye compared the hairstyles of Chen Long and Ishihara Shigeru. , expressionless: "Fortunately, his hair is long enough."
After saying this, Yang Ye opened the newspaper, cut a hole with scissors, put it around Shigeru Ishihara's neck, transformed into Tony, and held his hand The knife rises and falls, the knife rises and falls with the hand...
"Okay, let's do it like this!"
Everyone saw that the hairstyles of the two were 90% similar, and everyone admired them. Hong Jingbao praised: "Young Master Yang is so good at his craftsmanship!"
Yang Ye twirled the scissors with his fingers and said proudly: "With the skills in hand, I don't have to worry about eating!"
Ishihara Shigeru's skateboarding skills are really six, and he put on a fancy performance and walked through the crowd. Triggering bursts of exclamations.
Chen Long has practiced specifically before, and it is no problem to take a few frontal actions under the camera.
After shooting like this all morning, Yang Ye said: "Let's eat first and then continue shooting in the afternoon."
Lunch was very simple, a sandwich with a piece of fried chicken and a cup of coffee.
Chen Long, Yuan Biao and Adjani gathered around Shigeru Ishihara, asking for advice on skateboarding skills while eating. There was also a three-person skateboarding scene in the afternoon.
Hong Kyung Bo Taek, Adam and other French staff members gathered together to talk about movie-related topics.
The French are very curious about the way Hong Kong people make movies. After getting along with each other for a few days, they feel that Hong Kong filmmakers are a bunch of lunatics.
How could anyone jump off a building without taking any protective measures despite knowing that he would be injured?
Yang Ye said to Xu Feng, who was eating silently next to him: "The young man you are looking for has really good skateboarding skills, and his figure is similar to Aaron, which is good."
Xu Feng looked at Yang Ye in surprise and thought, "Did you scold me just now?" Now he praises me again.
Yang Ye changed the topic: "Next time, you must pay attention to the details. Fortunately, Shigeru Ishihara has long hair. If he had short hair, how would he end up today?"
"Oh!" Xu Feng lowered his head and agreed.
"I said something harsh before, but in front of so many colleagues on the crew, I can only treat them equally. If you are unhappy, feel free to deal with me tonight!"
When Xu Feng heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She knew that Yang Ye was teaching her how to do things, and reprimanding her in public was just a matter of business, so she was not angry.
Moreover, Yang Ye scolded her, but he actually cared about her feelings, so he would apologize now.
Xu Feng whispered: "I'm not angry, I understand."
"When will Xiaojie come over?"
"Next week!"< br>
“Don’t you have to wait for another week before you can be my wife?”
"I have always been your wife!" Xu Feng said with a blushing face.
Yang Ye wanted to laugh a little, Xu Feng was already a mature woman, but after confirming her relationship with Yang Ye, she would often act like a little daughter in front of him.
This should be a kind of mentality... She was too short of love when she was a girl, and now she is looking for compensation in Yang Ye.
She has the face of a royal lady, but has such a soft and cute personality. How did she become a strong woman later? Yang Ye is a little curious!
I then understood that Xu Feng was just being cute and cute, but he was not like that when facing other people.
She has a pair of three-white eyes. The biggest characteristic of these eyes is that they are cold and ruthless when glaring at people. Why is Lin Qingxia's Dongfang Invincible so domineering? Just rely on these eyes.
What’s interesting is that this sense of majesty will not appear until you are thirty years old and your cheeks become square and your face becomes square. The sharp face you had in your teens and twenties will not work.
......
We continued to work in the afternoon, still filming the skateboarding scene, but mainly the scenes of Chen Long, Yuan Biao and Ajani playing together.
“Oh my god, this Adjani is also very good at comedy!” Chen Ziqiang, who was sitting next to Yang Ye watching the show, said in surprise.
Yang Ye laughed and said: "She originally graduated from the Comédie Française, and she can play any role with ease, but she is too beautiful to be a comedian."
The Comédie Française is also called the French Drama. The theater is proud to protect the theatrical heritage and promote the glory of Molière's comedies, but in fact it performs everything.
Chen Ziqiang sighed: "Compared with her, we all look like bumpkins."
Yang Ye said: "That can't be compared. She came from a major. We all explored on our own, and our starting point was different. Same. Speaking of which, Hong Kong doesn’t have a dedicated film school yet.”
After filming for an afternoon, Shigeru Ishihara retired, and Yang Ye said: “We’ll continue filming after dinner, Adam, if you want to get off work. , just leave.”
The French staff mainly supervise property and do some coordination work. After all, they are local snakes and are more familiar with the local situation. It is much more convenient to deal with some things than Yang Ye.
Adam said nonchalantly: "We'd better stay. If anything happens, it will be easier for me to communicate."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "It's rare that you French people are willing to work overtime. "Is the actor I want here?"
Adam looked at the time and said: "It will be there soon"
......
In the dark alley, a middle-aged woman was smoking and standing against the wall.
Adjani came in beautifully dressed and leaned towards her silently.
The middle-aged woman looked her over and said, "Are you new here?"
At this time, a man walked in. He looked her over and soon fell in love with the young man. Beautiful Adjani: "Miss, how much is it?"
Adjani said: "One thousand!" The man was a counteroffer, so he said: "Three hundred!"
Adjani: "Go find your mother."
"Don't speak so aggressively." The man muttered and looked at the middle-aged woman next to him. The middle-aged woman held the smoke in her mouth and said: "Three hundred!"
The man said: "One hundred!"
"Get out!"
At this time, Chen Long came over with a dinner plate and said hello to the middle-aged woman. Then he saw Adjani standing next to her and quickly went over to take a closer look.
When Adjani saw an acquaintance, she quickly turned away, but Chen Long had already recognized her. He was startled, ran back to the food truck, and said to Yuan Biao: "I saw the princess "
"Don't be ridiculous, why would the princess appear in such a place?"
"I just asked you to come over and take a look."
Yuan Biao put down the spatula and walked into the alley with Chen Long. He saw Adjani saying to an American wearing a cowboy hat: "One thousand!"
The man said: "It's equivalent to two hundred US dollars. It's not expensive. Let's go!"
Ajani glanced at Chen Long and Yuan Biao and followed the man away.
Yuan Biao said frustratedly: "She really went up."
Chen Long said angrily: "What to go up to? It's for others, not for us."
< br>The middle-aged chicken lady came over and said with a smile: "If you two want to have sex, you usually treat me to a lot of food. Today it is my turn to treat you. I want to make you have a full meal."
The two brothers quickly refused: "You're welcome, we can do it ourselves, thank you!"
After rejecting the middle-aged chicken lady, the two looked back while walking. Chen Long sighed: "I thought she was very noble. , it turns out that she is the same..."
Yuan Biao said: "It's different, she is very expensive!"
Chen Long: "..."
Yuan Biao: " I think she must be waiting for money. How much money do you have?”
"What are you doing?"
"Bring it here!"
"I only have two thousand yuan."
Chen Long took out the money and gave it to Yuan Biao, and found that Yuan Biao also He took out his own money and said in surprise: "What are you doing? You can't spend so much money on a night stay."
Yuan Biao: "I want to give her all the money and tell her to go home, so she doesn't need to It’s hard work.”
Chen Long: "That means giving her a day off. She will still come out and do it tomorrow!"
Yuan Biao collapsed!
……
After a few days of shooting the literary drama, Binny and Prayut arrived in Paris, and the crew started filming the fight scene.
Yang Ye said to Binny: "Binny, you learned the technique of retaining force when you were in Hong Kong. Did you teach it to Prayuth?"
Binni said: "I explained it to him, but he is not very proficient in it yet."
Yang Ye said: "Then I will give you two more days, Ah Hua, you two to get used to it." "
Yuan Hua and others quickly agreed.
A ring champion like Prayuth will injure an actor in one fell swoop if he doesn’t retain his strength.
Yang Ye pays great attention to safety when filming, because safety means efficiency, and efficiency equals money.
For example, if a martial artist who was originally very good worked hard during filming, but ended up falling to his death and causing a lot of trouble, where can you find another one like him?
In the early 1980s, the Dragon and Tiger martial arts masters in Hong Kong went too far and had a very high loss rate. This was something Yang Ye did not want and did not want to see.
You don’t have to be desperate to make a movie. The fake thing can become real and shock the audience. This is technology.
This concept of having to risk one's life was not changed until the 1990s by Yuan Heping. Later, the Yuan Jiaban was able to play better while ensuring safety, and the Hong Jiaban was eliminated in one fell swoop.
Yang Ye taught Adjani a few tricks of grappling and asked her to practice slowly. He said to Chen Long who was exercising on the side: "Aaron, come over and have a chat."
"Okay!" Chen Long took a towel to wipe his sweat and sat down next to Yang Ye.
Yang Ye said: "Aaron, I hope you will design the action scene in two days."
Chen Long was stunned: "I will design it?"
When making movies with Yang Ye, Chen Long never thought that he would have the right to speak.
When I was filming "Fist of Heroes" before, although there was a martial arts instructor, he was actually just Yang Ye's deputy.
Yang Ye is still in charge of how to fight, and everyone is just implementing Yang Ye's will.
Now, Yang Ye actually delegated this power to Chen Long, and Chen Long was naturally surprised.
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You have filmed with me before, so you know that I am always well prepared. In my storyboard, even the placement of the camera must be clearly arranged. . But this time, the script is extremely rough. Have you ever thought in your heart that I have no intention of doing this movie at all? "
Chen Long didn't know how to answer this. Because he really thought about it. Not only was the script not detailed enough this time, but Yang Ye's previous four movies had a shooting cycle of 3-5 months, but this time it was only two months. It looked like perfunctory work.
Although this time it was a completely cross-border shooting, the cost was too high, which was also one of the reasons.
"Indeed...a bit." After struggling for a while, Chen Long chose to tell the truth.
Yang Ye patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Aaron, I have always believed in your talent in movies. Although I am the director of this movie, I don't want to erase your personal style. , so although there are many fighting scenes in the movie, I have skipped them, and you have to design and complete them yourself."
After hearing this, Chen Long suddenly realized, and he said with some emotion: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yang. , I wrongly blamed you!"
Yang Yedao: "Based on your image, I suggested that you adopt a market style and be a civilian hero. You have done a good job. Your current image is very close to the people. In Japan and South Korea, Nanyang is very popular.
I suggest you integrate the scene environment into the fight and make reasonable use of various props on the scene to make the fight humorous and interesting to enhance the audience's sense of involvement. Did it too.
The box office of the movies you have made in the past few years has been higher than the last, which is proof.
This "Food Truck" is your work of transformation, but it only changes the background of the times, and the core of your film will remain unchanged.
And the background of the story has become modern, the audience will feel more intimate, and the design of martial arts is also broader. You can try to integrate any scene and props from the real world into your movie, making it The movie just got better. "
After hearing these words, Chen Long couldn't help but feel enlightened and high-spirited: "I understand! "
Yang Ye continued: "How to make a fashion action movie well? In fact, there is no successful experience in the world, and I don't know any more than you. But based on some of my own ideas, I roughly Several key points have been summarized for your reference. ”
Yang Ye said and handed Chen Long a small notebook. Chen Long opened it and saw "Winning Elements of Fashion Kung Fu Movies" written on it.
He flipped back and found that Yang Ye proposed nine items in total, namely: superb skills, grassroots heroes, social justice, kindness, funny kung fu, props and venues, high-risk actions, never give up, Fists versus guns.
Behind each element, there are detailed notes, some of which Yang Ye once mentioned to him, such as grassroots heroes, funny kung fu, props and venues, etc.
Some are unheard of, such as the last fist versus gun.
There are some things he can understand, such as social justice, which is nothing more than good people beating bad people.
But in the Heart of Mercy article, it was mentioned that the protagonist must save the villain when necessary, and he couldn't understand it.
Yang Yedao: "In our "Food Truck", these nine elements I mentioned will all be reflected. When the time comes, we will fulfill them one by one. If you don't understand, I will explain it to you on the spot. . ”
Chen Long suddenly realized that you co-wrote the script based on these nine elements?
However, these elements are indeed interesting. Chen Long scratched his head and became very excited about the box office performance after the movie was released.
Actually, these nine items were not invented by Yang Ye, but he copied them from later time-travel novels. They happened to be useful, so he threw them to Chen Long. Anyway, this thing originally came from Chen Long Summarized in the movie.
Yang Ye was busy. He was on a trip to Paris, had several women to accompany him, and planned to marry Xu Feng and Zhao Yazhi. How could he have so much time to watch and film action scenes every day?
Throw a secret book to Chen Long and let him figure it out on his own!
