Chapter 2416 Performing Arts Plan Disrupted

"Long, I'm still a little nervous. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to work with you on such a big-budget movie."

Accompanying Chen Kangjie to walk by the seaside of the small island, looking at the blue sea, things have progressed to this point, and he is still a little unconfident.

"I'll call you by your English name Jacky just like them."

"Yes, it's good to call me Jacky. If you call me Brother Xueyou, I'm really not used to it, haha."

"Jacky, you are an entertainer at the level of a king. Do you know that when you became the four kings, I just graduated from elementary school. What is there to be nervous about? Are you inexperienced? Others only think that you sing well, But you have also won the best actor. Of course, this time we are going to hit Hollywood, not the Golden Statue Awards or the Tianzhu Film Festival, but the movies are similar, that's all. You just need to grasp the character That kind of personality is fine, um, you have a good mustache, which suits my needs." Chen Kangjie said after throwing a pebble into the sea, taking off his sunglasses.

At that time, Chen Kangjie asked Jacky to star in the lead role of the movie, and he agreed without even thinking about it.The impact of that information really made Jacky excited for a while.Not only was he happy and excited, even the staff around him and his wife were equally excited.

For a local artist, it is really rare to have a chance to go to the world.Such an opportunity, most people may never come across it in their lifetime.

However, after the excitement passed, Jacky became anxious.Although it has been almost 20 years since I debuted, and I have acted in quite a few movies, the partners I work with are all familiar, and the stories I tell are also familiar to me.Moreover, the production and scenes of the movie are far from being so big. The budget of this movie is 500 million U.S. dollars, not to mention 500 million U.S. dollars, it is a movie of 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Jacky has never acted in it before. It's normal to feel uncomfortable.

Before, we communicated with each other on the phone, and the real face-to-face was after arriving on this island.

In the past, the meetings and seminars that had to be held in advance during the filming process were deleted because Chen Kangjie was too busy.Most of the preparatory work in advance is in charge of Chen Kangjie's assistant director and assistant director.

In order to help Chen Kangjie share the work, Jon Gordon recommended David Lowell, who has participated in sci-fi films for many years, to be Chen Kangjie's assistant director, and William James to be the casting director. Jack Carr.

Chen Kangjie welcomes these professional staff with an open attitude.After all, a person's ability is limited, and it is definitely beneficial to have someone to help and participate in sharing.

Considering that Jacky is the number one male he picked, and he has no experience in working with a Hollywood team, Chen Kangjie then found him to communicate and encourage him.

"When you called me to grow a beard, I didn't shave it anymore and waited to use it for styling."

"That's why I want you to look rough. Although you are playing a doctor this time, you are not the kind of literary scholar. Not to mention, you are indeed quite masculine in this way. Be confident, I I believe you will do well in this movie, I believe that after this movie, who will say that you just sing well? No more." Chen Kangjie said with a smile.

"No matter what, I will work hard. I have been familiarizing myself with the lines some time ago, and the English we learned before was a British accent, and I have been changing it to make my accent as close to an American accent as possible."

"Hehe, it's nothing, as long as it doesn't sound like a Chinese speaking blunt English, you used to study in an English college, so I believe there will be no problems in this regard. During the shooting process, even if there are some problems, we will I will remind you at any time. This is an adventure story, and you can easily complete the story. I heard that you also stayed in the Science and Technology Museum for several days to study dinosaurs?"

"Yes, the scene with Laura Dunn, I personally think it should be okay, but the scene with dinosaurs, frankly speaking, I didn't know anything about this creature before, and I didn't know many types of dinosaurs , I haven’t heard of it. Since you gave me the opportunity to make such a movie, of course I have to learn some related knowledge. In addition to visiting the Science and Technology Museum and consulting professionals, I also bought some of this Reading books."

Chen Kangjie nodded in satisfaction: "This is the basic quality of a good actor. Frankly speaking, many actors in Hong Kong lack this spirit, so many of their performances seem to be OK, but carefully If you try to figure it out, many people will always make people feel that there is a little bit of feeling and taste. For an actor, it is very important for an actor to calm down and figure out the various forms and psychology of the role he wants to play. Necessary."

For this filming, although two islands were selected in China, the landscape of these two islands still cannot fully meet the needs of the film, and the magnificent scenery of Qixia is still insufficient.So the team had to go to Madagascar to do some reshoots.

In the filming of "Jurassic Park", in addition to the large overlap in the storyline with the original version, a lot of adjustments have been made in other aspects. The first is the appearance of Chinese faces, and the second is that the filming location is not in Hawaii. , and Chen Kangjie put forward many new requirements for the special effects of dinosaurs.

For the location part, in addition to shooting in two domestic islands and Madagascar, the Hollywood team also came to Hong Kong to expand two scenes to shoot the dinosaur part.

For this filming, the crew made several dinosaurs. The largest Tyrannosaurus weighed 8500 kilograms, and a Brachiosaurus weighed more than ten tons. These huge guys were very difficult to move, and many of the sets were built because of them. of.

Although Hollywood's special effects team is in charge of this process, the staff of Feiyang Entertainment Hong Kong company are also allowed to observe and learn from the sidelines. From this process, they have actually learned a lot of techniques that they have not been exposed to before. and tricks.

The reason why Chen Kangjie chose to shoot in China and Hong Kong is to a certain extent, because he hopes to give compatriots in these industries a chance to participate in learning.Even if the post-production and editing will be completed in Los Angeles, some of them can also use the channels of Feiyang Entertainment to watch them.

Whether we admit it or not, we still have a big gap with Hollywood in these special effects. Whether it is the application of computer technology or new materials, there is still a long way to learn and catch up.

Acting in this kind of Hollywood-style movie, Jacky was indeed a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but as the progress progressed and the adaptation deepened, he gradually got used to it.Since the director is Chen Kangjie, his role in the play has obviously been strengthened, so that Jeffrey Lynn Goldblum will not steal the limelight.

However, in terms of language expression, jacky still has some problems.It's not that there is a problem with his language, nor is it that his English is poor, but that in terms of taste, it does seem a little uncoordinated with other actors.

Such a gap may not be a problem in other markets when it is released, but in the North American market, it may be somewhat imperfect. Local audiences can easily hear this language gap.

Just like a foreigner speaking Chinese, it may not be easy for people from other countries to distinguish clearly, but domestic audiences will definitely feel a little obedient.

For this problem, Chen Kangjie can only add dubbing for him.

In other words, there will be several language versions of this movie. In the North American market, Jacky's English lines are dubbed, and in other markets, his English version is used. For the Mandarin part, he dubbed himself.

Of course, Chen Kangjie himself made a cameo appearance in the film, playing the role of a passerby who was eaten by a dinosaur.

Although this is only a small shot, Miramax spent a lot of space to highlight this when promoting the film.

In a word, Chen Kangjie himself is a box office appeal. Even if it is only less than 30 seconds, many viewers may not like this type of film, and they are very likely to be willing to spend money to see how their idol is given by a dinosaur. Eaten picture.

In this movie, Tengfei Motor Company also made a small appearance. The reason is that the three off-road vehicles that appeared in the movie were not provided by Mercedes-Benz Motors, but were handed over to Tengfei Motor Company.

In order to modify three high-performance off-road vehicles that satisfied Chen Kangjie, a working group of Ascendas worked overtime for several months.

For this kind of provision, Chen Kangjie didn't spend a penny.In other words, Chen Kangjie is considered good if he does not charge advertising fees.

Don't even think about it, as long as this movie sells well, the three off-road vehicles will definitely attract people's attention, which is tantamount to promoting the quality and performance of Tengfei vehicles.It must have played a significant role in promoting Tengfei Motor Company's going global and popularity competitiveness.

Sometimes the effect of this kind of soft advertisement is better than that of hard advertisement, and it will be recognized and accepted naturally.In the future, in many movies and TV dramas, the placement of soft advertisements will become an important source of income for the film studios.

It took 22 weeks to finish the whole film, which can be regarded as one of Chen Kangjie's most time-consuming films.A lot of time was spent on cooperating with dinosaurs. After all, those big guys couldn't be as flexible and obedient as humans.

And at the end of Chen Kangjie's filming, a health incident that swept across many countries and regions occurred, which affected and disrupted many of Chen Kangjie's acting plans.
