I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 481 Cultural Propaganda
On a road in Tallinn, Estonia, the crew blocked a section of the road to film a road chase scene.

This scene is quite high-energy, for which the crew also rented a helicopter, intending to shoot a few shots from the air.Such a fierce car chase scene is almost impossible to shoot to the end, it is all shot one shot.

"Lee, are you ready?"

Li He was doing warm-up exercises, nodded and said, "I'm ready, I can start anytime."

"OK, pay attention to safety, if you find something is wrong, stop immediately, understand?" Nolan asked.

Li He signaled that he understood, and Nolan clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone is getting ready, we are ready to shoot."

The crew quickly finished preparations. Four large vehicles sandwiched the vehicle in the middle and began to move forward. The vehicle driving the camera followed the filming, and the helicopter in the sky also followed the convoy.

This scene attracted many passers-by in the local area. Such a big movement made everyone a little itchy, and some secretly picked up their mobile phones to shoot.

Following Nolan's order, Li Hyuk and Neil played by Robert Pattinson drove into the camera, controlled the speed of the car through radio, so that the car and the convoy reached the same speed, and then Li Hyuk got out of the car , got on the fire truck.

This scene was extremely thrilling, and the crew was sweating from watching it. Fortunately, there was no accident, Li He completed it smoothly, and this scene was considered over.

Taking advantage of the time to prepare for the next performance, Li Hyuk relaxed his muscles. He was also nervous just now, but he still successfully completed the performance.In such a dangerous scene, the safety measures only serve as a psychological comfort, and there is absolutely no way for something to happen.

Robert Pattinson patted Li He on the shoulder and said, "You are the best person I have ever met."

"It's nothing. In our country, there are a lot of actors like me." Li Hyuk laughed.

"Do they all know kung fu?" Robert Pattinson asked, he was very obsessed with kung fu recently, and watched a lot of kung fu movies under the recommendation of Li He.

"Yes, all of them. I'm the worst one among them." Li He squinted his eyes, intending to deceive Robert Pattinson.

In fact, Li He doesn't know kung fu at all, but his movements are quicker, and Wu Jing's kung fu is about the same.But foreigners don’t know what kung fu is, so at this time we have to trick him into believing in science and kung fu.

Li He remembers when he collaborated with Wu Jing in "Wolf Warrior 2", at that time Wu Jing fooled himself like this: "There is no qigong and internal strength at all, it's all a lie from the martial arts school."

After finishing speaking, he showed Li Hyuk three consecutive volley kicks, which made Li Hyuk look stupid.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li He would never have believed that someone could perform three consecutive volley kicks without any external force.

But in the field of action movies, this is an easy and common thing, and action actors with foundation can complete such actions.It is a pity that the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies is the time when traditional action movies and Kung Fu movies are the hottest, but with the end of Hong Kong Island movies, Kung Fu movies also fade away, and the vigorous figures of the former stars will never be seen again.

After a short rest, the crew continued filming. This time Li Hyuk completed the action of getting from the fire truck to the truck in the middle with the help of the fire ladder. There was only one safety rope to protect himself in the whole scene. If any accident happened, the crew would not be able to afford it. .

After filming several dangerous scenes for about five days, Li Hyuk almost collapsed from exhaustion.The most exaggerated thing is that Nolan did not arrange a place for the actors to rest on the set, and Lee Hyuk did not have a place to sit down, so in order to rest, Lee Hyuk almost searched for all the places where he could sit down, and sat down whenever he had the opportunity. Next rest.

This is probably the most tiring time for him in filming. It seems that being the protagonist, if it is not for the young fresh meat, it will not be easy at all.

The shooting went smoothly, except that he was a little tired, and Robert Pattinson was fooled by Li He these days, and even came up with the idea of ​​going to Shaolin Temple to learn from a teacher.For Robert Pattinson, Li He also specially told the story of Journey to the West, which can be regarded as promoting Chinese traditional culture.

Unexpectedly, not only Robert Pattinson, but also Kenneth Branagh and Elizabeth Debicki would like to listen to it. Nolan also came over to listen to Li Hyuk's story about Journey to the West when he was not busy.

This is a bit embarrassing for Li Hyuk, he wants to translate Journey to the West into English, and then speak it out, making him feel like he is the translator.In fact, the English version of "Journey to the West" has long been available, but most Westerners do not understand this story, and some people think it is a story from the childhood.

No way, "Journey to the West" is not as well-known abroad as "Dragon Ball" next door, so when people think of Monkey King, the first thing people think of is Monkey King from "Dragon Ball".Therefore, there is a long way to go to promote traditional culture.

This is also related to the general environment. Xiaotian’s game and animation industry is well-known all over the world. Looking at China, except for a few well-known action stars, foreigners basically don’t understand China, and the long-term foolish propaganda of Western mainstream media has led to Most people have certain misunderstandings about Huaxia.

Logically speaking, such a grand topic seems to have little to do with Li He, after all, it is not necessary for foreigners to understand Huaxia.But if Chinese people want to go out and embrace the world, it is impossible not to contact the world.

So how do you want people in the world to see you?Is it modest and gentle, strong and powerful, culturally confident?Or is it rude, stupid, and ugly?
Chinese people want the former, while Westerners want Chinese people to be the latter...

Therefore, Lee Hyuk not only talked about Journey to the West, but also talked about the beautiful rivers and mountains of China, and talked about cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other international metropolises that are not inferior to New York and Los Angeles.

This is the first time for many crew members to understand Huaxia in such a comprehensive way, and they all sighed. The photographer John Schwarzman, who cooperated with Nolan, sighed to Li He: "I thought Huaxia was still in a feudal backwardness. When I saw you for the first time, I wondered why you didn’t have braids, but now that I’m in charge, I’ll go to Huaxia when I have time, and you will be my tour guide.”

"Okay, no problem, you are welcome to come and play anytime." Li Hyuk smiled.

Li Hyuk is also considered a cultural ambassador, although it only affects a small number of people.In fact, the West claims to be free of speech, but it is only within the scope they allow. If you say bad things about China, then you have freedom of speech, and if you say good things about China, then you have no freedom of speech.

It's ridiculous that there are still a group of so-called public intellectuals in China who use the banner of freedom of speech to promote how beautiful foreign countries are, and how bad and depressing domestic countries are.

It can only be said that whoever believes is a fool...

In the past few years, the public intellectuals have been unable to dance, especially the new generation who grew up under the prosperity of China, and their national self-confidence is bursting. No matter what the public intellectuals say, they can't shake everyone's fiery patriotism and national self-confidence.

Li He is definitely not enough for cultural promotion. Li He also hopes that domestic colleagues will work harder to promote and show the world the elegance of China's 5000-year-old culture. One person is not enough to do it, but everyone can do it together.
