This director is very reliable

Chapter 456 I'm stupid, is this Hollywood? (twenty four)

A bunch of star families in Hollywood, what Coppola family, Xin Estevez family, Horn Hudson family, and of course the Smith family and Douglas family!
Art family...

A director's son becomes a director, and a star's child becomes a star...

However, Michael Douglas of the Douglas family started acting from the bottom anyway, and worked hard in TV dramas for nearly 10 years before becoming well-known in the TV series "Streets of San Francisco" in 1972.

And he rose to prominence because he single-handedly contributed to the filming of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", served as a producer, and personally persuaded Jack Nicholson to star in this movie...

For comparison, our Jaden Smith directly starred in "Kung Fu Dream" and "Return to Earth" after "Men in Black 2" and "When Happiness Comes Knocking"...

Almost starred in "Men in Black 4"...

Maybe he felt that his son was unreliable, so Will Smith did it himself. "Jedi Men: John Wick" won the North American box office of the year, and won the Oscar winner for "King Richard".

Of course, the most famous one is slapping Oscar host Chris Rock, telling us that although talk show is an offensive art, it still has boundaries, so, Yang Li, be careful...

Pulling it back, in short, Zhao Shan has popularized a lot of Hollywood off-shows, including the relationship between "Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf and Spielberg...

"Spielberg is very optimistic about this kid. After "Rear Window", he even made him star in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"..."

Naza thought of something, turned on the phone: "I have news here, saying that Spielberg's daughter has announced that she has become a new worker!"

"This is her freedom!" Zhao Shan said contemptuously: "Although it is freedom, and new jobs are legal in many countries, but without exception, they are all at the bottom of the contempt. To put it bluntly, it is a lowly job."

"...But the United States is very free, parents should support it?"

"Support ass! Do you think there will be parents who support their daughters to sell themselves? Americans are human, and most of them are very conservative. The America you imagine is not the United States... You will know after a few days!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shan suddenly smiled: "Chang Lin also told me about this, he said that Lao Si has been making movies all his life and serving the public, and his daughter is also serving the public, in a sense, he is also inheriting his father's career! "

"…he…"

Nazha really doesn't know how to evaluate her brother, he is very nice, but it's a pity that he has a mouth!

……

After getting off the plane, the assistant director of the crew came to pick them up.

This assistant director, Na Zha actually knew him, and he was quite familiar with it—the assistant director Lv Ying in "Embroidered Spring Knife".

"For this filming, the behind-the-scenes filming lineup is all domestic people..."

"why?"

Lu Ying explained: "...Because there are too many restrictions in Hollywood, Brother Jackie Chan made a suggestion before, he said that filming in Hollywood is a waste, it is best to use domestic crews..."

It is indeed the elder brother's suggestion, Jackie Chan is very displeased with Hollywood's inefficiency: "Foreigners filming, I tell you that the production cost is 2000 million, but 1000 million is actually spent on services."When I was filming "Rush Hour", everyone present had an RV, even Lu Huiguang, but in the film he was just a martial artist, a secondary role;
They also had the air conditioner on 24 hours a day, and I told them 'turn it off when no one is around. ' They said: 'No! Keep it cool! '

In addition, there are my air tickets, the air tickets of my bodyguards, 24-hour non-stop supply of ice cream, red wine, and white wine. When I go outside for filming, I specially invite Chinese chefs to give them to me, but the cooked food is cold and not delicious, so I think they filmed. Really a waste of money and a waste of food'

Of course, the most important thing is that the insurance company is too fast to cause headaches!
In the climax scene of "Rush Hour", Jackie Chan has to walk across the columns on the roof.It was too easy for him to shoot life-threatening scenes in Hong Kong for nearly 20 years.

Hollywood won't allow this!

We were scolded by the person in charge of the set, they must have a wire tied up, but it is very troublesome to hang the wire, so we directly said: 'I will show you! '

Useless!

Later, the people from the insurance company came and simply said that it would not do to hang up the wire, saying that if we really shoot like this, the whole scene will not be lent to us, and we have to shoot the blue set...

Jackie Chan was very disdainful: If you don't take risks, what kind of action movie will you make!

"...So, you don't have an insurance company this time?"

"Yes, there are. Our crew is also Hollywood standard, but it is based on the standards set by B-grade movies, so there are not so many restrictions!"

"limit?"

"Hollywood has a well-established system, which is not only reflected in the clear rules and regulations and strong labor unions to protect the rights and interests of laborers, but also in many prescribed procedures. For example, actors with lines are paid at least 400 dollars a day, while actors without lines It only costs $100 a day, and we try not to let the extras speak!"

Lu Ying concluded: "Small strategies to save money!"

Zhao Shan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "We're not so short of money, are we?"

"This is a B-grade movie, and the cost does not exceed 3500 million US dollars...The province still needs to save..."

"Have you started filming yet?"

"Hmm... It's been two days since we filmed. We're fast-paced, and we don't have any major scene scheduling... By the way, many celebrities made cameo appearances on their own initiative!"

"Cameo appearance? Who?"

"Wesley Snipes... is the star of "Blade Runner"..."

"A cameo?"

"Well, I finished filming yesterday, and the guest star is a passerby I met at dinner..."

"Why not assign a more important role?"

"People start with a salary of tens of millions of dollars, just show your face..."

Soon, the car arrived at the small town of Manchester on the outskirts of Boston, got off the car, and arranged for a gothic hotel...

Naza was very surprised: "Why here? We didn't shoot in Boston?"

Lu Ying explained: "...This is Massachusetts, where the tax rebate is as high as 35%...Our foreplay is all filmed here, and the climax scene will be in Boston!"

"…All right!"

……

Shen Changlin...didn't strategize as Lu Ying described, and even felt that everything was not going well!
There are many members of the local American film union in the crew.

One sentence to evaluate this group of people: slackers.

You have to hire local people, otherwise, there is no tax refund...

Those who are on horseback, these people only work for eight hours a day, and they won't do anything for a second more!
This group of people are off work and don't go home. When they get together, they either go to a bar to drink or go to a strip club to have fun...

How about some work?
He can't force these people to work, because the crew has a special legal team...

Jackie Chan patted him on the shoulder understandingly: "This is Hollywood!"

"...Brother, this is a B-grade movie with an investment of only 3500 million US dollars. It's not a big production!"

"I know, but we have more than 200 employees, and we're a big crew...big crews have to accept these regulations."

"Then I won't be able to finish filming in thirty days!"

"...Why does it have to be filmed in [-] days? Are you planning to release it this year?"

"That's not... New Line means that it will be released in February or March next year..."

In the off-season, there are not so many opponents...

Of course, the box office may not be that high, but in North America, over [-] million is enough.

Fighting against "Kingsman"...

Hearing this, Jackie Chan asked back: "Then why are you in such a hurry?"

"...I'm not used to it..."

"Then get rid of this habit...you can go to the bar with them..."

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I don't drink!"

Jackie Chan then suggested: "Then go to a strip club!"

Shen Changlin shrugged: "...I don't understand the behavior that I can only watch but not do!"

"...If you pay more, they will let you do it. And they can let you not wear anything..."

Shen Changlin still shook his head: "I'm still so young, I don't want to get sick."
