Chapter 224 Lu Yang’s Martial Arts Universe
"Hurricane Rescue" was started in mid-March and was filmed on and off for nearly a month. It was originally expected to be filmed for one and a half months, but because Zhang Chen added a lot of action scenes, This resulted in another half-month extension, and it was expected to take two months to complete.
After intense shooting during the day, everyone had hotpot together on the rooftop in the evening.
"Jason, I wish you a happy journey..."
Jason is leaving the group tomorrow, so today we all have hot pot together to have some fun.
As for why it is on the rooftop, this was suggested by Liang Jiahui. They in Hong Kong like to eat hot pot on the rooftop.
Don’t mention it, the sky is high and the air is refreshing, it feels really good.
Actually, Jason's role has been completed a long time ago. I stayed here today just to see what the subsequent filming will be like.
Talan and Ruian, in particular, left a deep impression on him.
Talan’s gun movements are so beautifully designed.
Jason is sure that this drama will be a hit.
Ruian is even more amazing, it is simply a humanoid weapon.
When the crew was free, everyone once competed in private. This short Asian seemed to have a beast living in his body.
Zhang Jin was also a member of the Lian family, and had been in the Hong family class. He thought he had a few tricks up his sleeve, so he made some private comparisons with Lu Yian.
The result is that we can't beat him, we can't beat him at all.
This aroused everyone's interest, and then everyone competed with Ruian one by one, and then nothing happened.
If Zhang Chen hadn’t strictly ordered it to end, all the main creators would have gone to the hospital to lie down, and his show would have been shut down.
Of course I can't beat him. He is a martial artist, an Indonesian master.
People are amateurs in making movies. Fighting and killing people is their main job.
"You are all good actors. If New Line hadn't asked me to participate in the road show of "Eden Lake", I would have been reluctant to leave...
Taran, you are the most powerful firearms instructor I have ever seen. Many of the Hollywood firearms instructors I have seen are bragging, saying that they came from the battlefield, or simply are retired Navy SEALs, but I think they are all Not as good as you..."
Talan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He bumped fists with Jason proudly: "Man, you are discerning. "
Jason turned to look at Ruian at this time: "Ruian, you are very powerful, very powerful, the most powerful person I have ever seen..."
Ruian An Wenyan grinned, showing a row of white teeth, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Tony, you are a good actor. I heard that you used to do literary dramas, but your martial arts dramas are equally good. , believe me, you will definitely become famous after this drama. ”
"Thank you for your good words."
Liang Jiahui accepted this flattery with a smile. In terms of status, he was the one with the highest status among the people present.
Not only is he the leading actor, but he also won two Golden Statue Best Actors and one Golden Horse Best Actor before 2000.
But as Jason said, this is the first time he has played the leading role in an action scene. Of course, he is very happy to get Jason's approval.
If you want to talk about Liang Jiahui, he is really working hard.
Originally, Keanu Reeves practiced three-gun for several months for "John Wick" and trained himself into a three-gun master.
The current Liang Jiahui is similar.
In half a month, he was able to practice the three guns in a decent manner. You know, before this, he had never even touched a real gun.
For other people, it would be good to be able to practice one weapon to proficiency in half a month, but Liang Jiahui has three types. The effort he put in is self-evident.
Talan also spoke highly of this.
Liang Jiahui may have some talent, but he can see his serious attitude and hard work.
Jason praised everyone present one by one, but he was the only one who fell in love with director Zhang Chen.
"Jason, did you forget to evaluate me?"
Zhang Chen will not let him escape easily. I am waiting for your flattery. He also wants to feel being loved. The foreigner’s photo captures the ecstatic feeling.
Who says foreigners don’t understand the world, doesn’t Jason understand? Look at those people just now, they felt so comfortable being photographed by him.
I don’t care, I want it too~
Jason looked at Zhang Chen, feeling a little bit stuck.
The others smiled and prepared to see how Jason would respond.
Jason's expression was coy, as if he was fighting with his conscience. After a while, he finally said: "Zhang, you...the hot pot you made is delicious..."
"What? ”
Zhang Chen felt that receiving a critical hit of 10,000 points was really not very harmful but extremely insulting.
I am a great director, and you praise my cooking skills?
Moreover, I still praise hot pot. What kind of cooking skills are required for hot pot? The bottom of the pot is ready-made, and the ingredients are also ready-made. Could it be the posture of putting the ingredients in...
Everyone burst into laughter.
Jason couldn't help laughing when he saw that Zhang Chen's face turned the color of pig liver due to his prank.
Is it tolerable or not?
"Lu Yang, bring my Qinglong Yanyue Sword..."
Suddenly it occurred to me that the people at this table were foreigners and they might not understand, so he temporarily changed it to: "Talan, bring me my Qinglong Yanyue Sword" Here comes the AK..."
Hahaha, everyone laughed even more happily now. They had a hot pot dinner until late at night. When Jason was drinking till the end, he was holding on to Zhang Chen's arm, insisting on a promise.
Zhang Chen couldn't defeat him, so he had to agree that he would be the leading actor in the next movie. Only then did Jason leave with satisfaction.
After the party ended, Zhang Chen did not go back to his room, but stayed on the rooftop to sober up. Lu Yang was worried about him and moved a chair to accompany him.
Zhang Chen took out two cigarettes, threw one to Lu Yang, and then lit it for himself.
On the rooftop, two bright spots flickered.
"Lu Yang, I see you have been hanging out with Luian for the past two days. Why, are you interested in kung fu movies?"
Lu Yang nodded when he heard this: "Yes, Senior Brother..."
When working, Lu Yang usually calls him Senior Brother when there is no one around.
People in the film and television industry are basically like this. Senior brother and junior brother represent a passionate relationship.
Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Lu Yang continued: "I have been interested in kung fu movies since I was a child. I still remember the surprise when I first watched Xu Ke's "New Dragon Inn". A while ago After watching "The Bourne Supremacy", I have been thinking about what would happen if the action in the costume film was designed like "The Bourne Supremacy". I have been discussing this possibility with Lao Lu in the past two days..."
The more Zhang Chen listened, the more familiar he became. Isn't this "Xiu Chun Knife"?
In his previous life, he had read an interview in which he said that the origin of Lu Yang's "Xiu Chun Knife" was an idea after watching "The Bourne Supremacy". He never expected that this was true.
“What, you plan to film it?”
Zhang Chen was guiding him, but Lu Yang shook his head: “It’s impossible, the story I’m thinking of is the story of Jin Yiwei, the budget is definitely It can't be lowered. I'm a newcomer, who dares to cast it?
Even if someone dares to cast it, I don't dare to direct it. I haven't figured out how to shoot it yet. If I can't make money, isn't it a trap for others? "
"You are right to think so." Zhang Chen felt quite relieved.
He has given two speeches to his alma mater, Nortel, and each time he emphasized one thing, that is, you must use business thinking to make movies.
The director or producer must consider how to make a profit.
If your movies are not profitable, who would dare to continue to invest in you?
Don’t talk about Jiang Wen, that is a special case, there is only one Jiang Wen in the world!
Ordinary filmmakers may only have one chance to try and make mistakes in their lifetime. If they miss this opportunity, they may never be able to turn around.
Just like his previous life.
Now Lu Yang, the junior brother, has obviously listened to what he said, which makes him feel very accomplished.
“If you can’t figure it out, keep thinking until you do. I happen to have a story here, and I’ll tell it to you by the way. It’s a story about a blind warrior...”
Zhang Chen It's about "Defiant", which is better than "Xiu Chun Dao" purely from the perspective of a martial arts movie.
The pattern of "Xiuchundao" is larger. It is not only about martial arts, but also about the court.
"Condescending" is much simpler, it talks about the most common "righteousness" in the martial arts world.
After I drink your wine, I will not drink your wine in vain.
"What do you think of this story? If you are interested, I can leave it to you to film~"
The investment in "Defiant" will not be very large, so Zhang Chen decided to give it to Lu For Yang Lianshou, it doesn't matter even if the filming fails, there are many good scripts in his memory.
Compared to cultivating a tool director, a "Defiant" is nothing at all.
Lu Yang was a little excited and stuttered when he spoke: "Brother, is it really...really?"
"Of course." Zhang Chen could understand Lu Yang's excitement.
In this business, the most important thing is to have someone to support you.
In the circle, there are completely different things between being supported and being unsupported. Teacher Fu had this in mind when he introduced him to Lu Yang.
“I...of course I am willing.”
"Okay, I'll ask the screenwriting team to finish the script later. You can prepare it after "Hurricane Rescue". It just so happens that you can also accumulate more experience during this period..."
Lu Yangbudie's Nodding, excitement is palpable.
"I will definitely perform well. By the way, I will ask Brother Jin to help me play this role when the time comes..."
The Brother Jin he refers to is Zhang Jin, and we have been together for the past two days. , have a good personal relationship with each other.
Zhang Chen shook his head: "I'm afraid Zhang Jin is not suitable. I basically position him as an urban action movie. You can consider Xie Miao..."
"Uh, who is that?" Lu Yang looked confused.
Zhang Chen then remembered that Xie Miao was not well-known yet, and was probably working in the third or fourth tier.
"It's the one who played Jet Li's son in "Letter to Dad"..."
"Oh..." Lu Yang then remembered who it was, and was just curious, how could Zhang Chen do that? Pay attention to such a young actor.
Zhang Chen didn’t even explain. A gust of wind blew and he finished smoking. He stood up and said, “Okay, let’s go back early. The wind is a bit cold. We have to continue shooting tomorrow. Let’s all rest early~”
Zhang Chen greeted Lu Yang to leave, and Lu Yang also stood up, but suddenly said: "Brother, I suddenly thought of an idea. Maybe I can change the role of the knife hunter and set the background in the Ming Dynasty. That might work. It can also be connected with the Jin Yiwei story I mentioned to form a complete world."
Zhang Chen suddenly stopped.
"Martial arts universe?" This was the first time he heard someone put forward the concept of 'universe' after his rebirth.
Lu Yang scratched his head: "I also thought of it from your agent universe."
"Not bad, I have some ideas, I can consider it~" Zhang Chen affirmed.
