rebirth of change

"Haha, I was a little worried before, but I didn't expect that you have already prepared in advance. It seems that it is a wise choice to cooperate with you. It would be great if Schwarzenegger could agree to your invitation to play the villain , I’m afraid he won’t do it.”

In the past, Schwarzenegger played mostly positive roles. Although the screen image is completely different from reality, it is a kind of damage to the image after all, so many big-name stars are reluctant to play villains.From a market point of view, the remuneration of villains is relatively low, which is also an important factor why many people are unwilling to act.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do the job. If he doesn't want to, there are many people he can find, such as Al Pacino, Gypsy, Sean Penn, Schneider and others are all acting, and they are completely competent." Others may worry that they won't be able to hire big-name actors, but Chen Kangjie is different, he believes he can.

Although these people are not very familiar with him, they have met at the Oscars, and they all expressed their willingness to cooperate with Chen Kangjie, which is why Chen Kangjie said this.

But Jackie Chan's consideration is not unreasonable, the foreigners appearing in this movie are destined to serve as a foil.It is not difficult to find a foreign actor to serve as a foil, but it is still a bit difficult to get a big Hollywood star to do this.In the past, it was the Chinese who acted as foils for them, and the salary they received was only a fraction of theirs, but now it has to be reversed, and it is normal to have difficulties.

Fortunately, this matter was led by Chen Kangjie, otherwise, no one else would have thought about it, and only third-line actors were found.

"Then I'm relieved, long, when do you think we'll start filming? I'm a little impatient." Jackie Chan said eagerly with a smile.

"Once everything is confirmed, it's fine. But I can only concentrate on time during the winter vacation. During this period, I can only shoot some other shots first. In addition to shooting scenes in Batie, this movie also needs to be filmed according to the storyline. I need to film in the capital and Washington. I can’t go to Washington for the time being. I can hand it over to Jedika. After working with him a few times, he should understand my thinking. Some actors, domestic officials and embassy officials need them to play." Making a movie is not easy, and all aspects must be prepared.

Some directors have to prepare for a year or even several years to make a film. For a big production with such a large investment, the preparation is even more complicated.Chen Kangjie is used to being the shopkeeper, and likes to leave things to his subordinates, but he is still required to come forward for the parts that have not been involved.

"This film plus post-production may not be completed until the beginning of next year. I figured it out, at least [-] shots will be produced." Although the film has not yet officially started shooting, the script has been kept in my mind Chen Kangjie still knew what he knew.

"Excellence is the right thing to do." Jackie Chan nodded and said hesitantly, "By the way, long, who do you think is more appropriate to invite to be the action director?"

"Can't you just take the role?" Chen Kangjie blurted out almost without thinking, but after he finished speaking, he regretted it a little.

The reason why Chen Kangjie regretted it did not mean that Jackie Chan was not qualified for this position. He has filmed action movies as the host, and he is a well-known action director in Hong Kong.Almost all the action guides in Hong Kong come from the early Seven Little Fortunes. Jackie Chan, one of the Seven Little Fortunes, has a family-making class led by him.

It's just that Chen Kangjie feels that Jackie Chan's movements are almost finalized, and it is difficult to make a big breakthrough. Moreover, he is better at the so-called unarmed combat, and he is not good at the hot scenes of Hollywood-style gun battles. This will somewhat make this film lose its color .

Chen Kangjie, who has filmed "True Lies", is no stranger to Hollywood-style hot scenes.But this movie is very different from "True Lies". It is the first time he shoots according to a brand new script. There is no image selection for reference in his mind, so the difficulty is really great. It can be said that this is a big challenge for him. Totally a challenge.

To be on the safe side, you should find an action director.But who to look for?There are quite a few action guides in Hong Kong, but most of them, like Jackie Chan, have certain routines and are familiar with Eastern martial arts movements. The violent aesthetics they advocate are a little different from those in the West.

Chen Kangjie does not intend to perform this movie completely in accordance with the routines of Western movies, but he also does not want to make him a complete "martial arts movie", because this is not a literary film, he has to respect commercial considerations.Especially from the perspective of young people in the new era.

Movies are the same as the economy. Western movies, especially Hollywood blockbusters, can easily get a good box office in the East, and it can be said that they are very popular among young people.However, purely oriental films rarely achieve the same effect.Some people say that culture has no national boundaries, but in fact culture has national boundaries, but the carrier of culture has no national boundaries.We may not agree with the concept of world police that is often shown in American movies, but the behavior of punishing evil and promoting good and those amazing hot scenes are completely acceptable.

"I'm afraid I can't do it?" Jackie Chan said modestly.

"Then what do you think of Cameron?" He immediately asked back.

The reason why Chen Kangjie thinks of Cameron is that on the one hand, the two have a good relationship and are better partners. On the other hand, he designed the action plots in "True Lies", and he shot "Harry Wave "Special" has added a lot of whimsy, and Chen Kangjie thinks it is a good choice to cooperate with him.

"Ghost director Cameron? If he is willing, that's great." On the surface Jackie Chan was excited, but secretly he was a little disappointed.

Jackie Chan thought that Chen Kangjie would firmly choose him as the action director, and even if he did not choose him, he would choose his seniors, but unexpectedly, Chen Kangjie did not do that.

It's just that the Cameron Chen Kangjie chose left him really speechless.Cameron does not know martial arts, but he has a rich imagination, and he is already one of the big-name directors in Hollywood. His films such as "Alien", "Terminator" and "Harry Potter" series gave him established immortality.In particular, his use of special effects in movies has reached the point of perfection.

Facing such a person, he has no competitive strength, and neither does his senior brother.

"I have a good relationship with him. As long as he is free, I believe he will be willing to help." Chen Kangjie spoke confidently.

However, due to schedule reasons, Cameron declined Chen Kangjie's invitation, but he recommended Chen Kangjie his friend, John McTiernan, who is better at shooting action movies.

When it comes to John McTeer, there may be few people in the southern country who know him, but when it comes to his masterpiece "Die Hard" series and "Predator" and other films, many people are familiar with it.The "Thirteen Warriors" he filmed was delayed for two years because the producer thought it was too bloody and violent.

Chen Kangjie is full of expectations for cooperating with such an action director who is keen on violence.

The conversation between Chen Kangjie and Jackie Chan lasted for two hours, and when their conversation was about to end, the door of the private room was knocked chaotically.

Chen Kangjie looked at Jackie Chan suspiciously, thinking that he had arranged for other people to meet, but he was also puzzled when he saw Jackie Chan's eyes.

Jackie Chan reluctantly stood up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, a young man threw himself into his arms. Jackie Chan was very agile, and hurriedly raised his hand to support him.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Although Jackie Chan supported him, he didn't let him in, but stood up straight and blocked the door.

"Huh... Where is the person? Where did you go? Why did I disappear after taking a piss?" The man tilted his head and saw Chen Kangjie sitting alone in the huge private room, so he couldn't speak clearly. scolded.

Judging from his behavior, he should be drunk, walked into the wrong room, and barged in rashly.

Chen Kangjie came to meet Jackie Chan today, and he didn't change his appearance, but he did some decorations to cover it up, so the drunk didn't recognize Chen Kangjie.

"Sir, you went to the wrong private room, there are only two of us here." Jackie Chan responded politely.

"How could it be? Impossible." The man shook his head, waved his hand again, and when he raised his head to face Jackie Chan, his eyes lit up, "Ah! I know you, big star, martial arts star, can you appear It’s great to be here, come on, play a little bit for my buddies, and add to the fun.”

"I'm sorry, we don't know each other. If you want to find your friend, please go to another room." Jackie Chan's face was gloomy, and after he finished speaking bluntly, he pushed him out and closed the door swiftly.

Since he became famous, it was the first time that Jackie Chan met such an arrogant person, and he said, "Play a little bit for my buddy." It's not a monkey.I really think of him as one of those third-rate starlets, not only performing arts, but also selling himself.

I just thought that this is the capital, and there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden under the feet of the emperor, and one thing more is worse than one thing less, so as not to trouble the upper body.If it was in Hong Kong, he wouldn't be so polite, even if he didn't beat him up, it wouldn't be much better.

However, some things were counterproductive. Jackie Chan wanted more things than less things, but he needed the cooperation of others.

"Bang bang bang." Soon there was a more intense knock on the closed door, no, it should be said to be a knock on the door, the sound was deafening.

In addition to the smashing of the door, there was also an ugly shouting and cursing outside the door: "Damn it, open the door, an actor, some people can't afford it, you don't want to give you face, you dare to push me, if you don't give me today!" I knelt down and kowtowed, I made you unable to go out...open the door!"

It's just that Jackie Chan's face is ugly enough, coupled with these vicious curses, his dark face feels like water can be wrung out, and the veins on his neck are protruding, and it's easy to feel his anger.
