Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 177 Action scenes during the day, and action scenes at night?

The crew of "Kung Fu Yoga" has already arrived in India ahead of schedule, but due to the need to conduct on-site inspections in advance and arrange the shooting location, the preparatory work has to be delayed for a few days.

In the evening, Lin Yuan packed his luggage in advance so that he could leave at any time.

Just as he was packing his luggage, the cell phone in the living room rang.

After seeing the note on the caller ID, Lin Yuan put down the clothes in his hand and quickly connected the phone: "Hey, brother, what do you need from me?"

The call was not made by someone else, it was Jackie Chan himself. After having dinner at Brother Jackie Chan's house last time, the two of them also left a phone call with each other, but they had nothing to do, so they didn't have much contact.

But now that Brother Jackie Chan took the initiative to call, Lin Yuan naturally did not dare to neglect.

Following Lin Yuan's inquiry, Jackie Chan's voice also came from the phone: "Lin Yuan, Director Tang called you to tell you about the start of filming, right?"

"Director Tang has notified me in the afternoon, and I plan to go to the production team in two days."

After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Jackie Chan said in satisfaction, and then continued to ask: "Then you haven't bought a ticket yet, right? Otherwise, you can come to me directly by plane, and we will go to film together when the time comes .”

Faced with Jackie Chan's invitation, Lin Yuan naturally had no reason to refuse, not to mention that he hasn't bought a plane ticket to India yet, even if he bought a plane ticket, he will definitely refund the ticket, just kidding, flying with the big brother, this kind of The honor is not something ordinary people can get.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately replied: "No problem, I'm just afraid of causing trouble to elder brother."

Jackie Chan smiled, and said heartily: "If there's any trouble, then it's settled. Just come and find me when you see."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan asked his assistant to directly book a ticket to Xiangjiang tomorrow morning.

After the surprise, Lin Yuan also quickly realized that Jackie Chan personally called to invite him to Xiangjiang. He definitely didn’t just want to set off with him. There must be other things in the middle, but Jackie Chan was not on the phone That's all, thinking of this, he also began to guess Jackie Chan's intentions, but after guessing for a while, he found that he couldn't guess at all, and finally decided not to guess, anyway, they will meet soon.

Out of curiosity, Lin Yuan arrived in Xiangjiang by plane early the next morning.

This is the second time he has come to the city of Xiangjiang, and it is also the second time he has gone to his eldest brother's house. As soon as he got off the plane, there was someone sent by Jackie Chan to pick him up. The first car was a luxury car engraved with dragon characters, which can be said to be top-notch.

Under the escort of a group of people, he arrived safely at the elder brother's house, just in time for lunch, seeing Lin Yuan coming, the elder brother also warmly greeted Lin Yuan, as easy-going as if entertaining his own juniors.

When Lin Yuan was chatting with his eldest brother, he also noticed Director Tang Jili sitting at the dinner table.

For Director Tang Jili to appear here, Lin Yuan is not surprised at all. Director Tang and Jackie Chan can be said to have a very good relationship. ", "Police Story 3", "Super Project", "Myth", "Zodiac" five movies.

With such a good relationship between the two, it is only natural that they appear here.

Therefore, Lin Yuan stepped forward to greet Tang Jili immediately: "Hello, Director Tang."

"Hello, Mr. Lin, nice to meet you." Director Tang Jili didn't put on any airs, and stood up enthusiastically to say hello.

"Sit down first, let's chat while eating." Seeing the two people greet each other, Jackie Chan immediately opened his mouth. Fill the glasses for the three of them.

After drinking for three rounds, the three of them just chatted for a while, seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Jackie Chan then turned his gaze to Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, you should have read the movie script, right?"

Lin Yuan replied truthfully, "I've already seen it."

Jackie Chan glanced at Tang Jili with a smile on his face, then looked at Lin Yuan again, and said with a wry smile: "After reading the script, how do you feel?"

Lin Yuan really couldn't answer the question asked by the eldest brother.

On the night when he got the script, he basically went through the movie script. After reading it, he can only use two words to describe the feeling in his heart: uncomfortable!
Although there are serious logical errors in the plot of the movie, the plot design is all for the effect of the movie, and Lin Yuan can understand it.

What really made Lin Yuan's scalp tingle was the filming style of the film "Kung Fu Yoga". It wanted to produce the comedy effect of Jackie Chan's movie, but also wanted to mix the characteristics of Indian movies into it. , It gave him the feeling that he was watching a hodgepodge movie script.

Seeing Lin Yuan's embarrassing appearance, how could Jackie Chan not know what was going on in Lin Yuan's mind, so he laughed on the spot, and said to Tang Jili, "Xiao Tang, let me just say that you have a problem with the script of this movie, right?"

After hearing this, even though Lin Yuan knew that the two had a good relationship, he still couldn't help but look at them.

Director Tang Jili is also a well-known figure in the Hong Kong circle, and Jackie Chan is probably the only person who can be called "Xiao Tang".

"Oh..." Director Tang Jili sighed, without explaining.

Jackie Chan patted him on the shoulder, then turned his head and explained to Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, don't worry about this script, Xiao Tang was originally going to shoot Myth 2, but unfortunately he didn't get the authorization. The film is also co-produced by China and India, and the plot design has to be close to the Indian film style, and the script was written like this, which is also a helpless move.”

After listening to Brother Long's explanation, Lin Yuan came to his senses. He said how could it be possible for director Tang Jili to create such a different style of script with so many years of experience in cooperating with Brother Jackie Chan.

After figuring out the problem with the script, Lin Yuan also hurriedly answered politely: "It's my honor to be able to co-produce a movie with big brother. As for the problem with the script, I can also understand Director Tang, co-produced a movie, I can't help myself. "

I have to say that the fact that the plot of this movie is so bad has nothing to do with director Tang Jili.

From the story line of the whole movie, it can be seen that director Tang Jili was indeed planning to shoot "Mythology 2" at the beginning, but now he has to consider the Indian market. The fighting plot is adjusted to Indian-style singing and dancing elements.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan didn't know what the final effect of the movie would be.

But fortunately, this movie is escorted by Jackie Chan, even if the movie's reputation is not very good, the box office will definitely not go anywhere.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan no longer worried about the movie.

After lunch at Brother Jackie Chan's house, Brother Jackie Chan also arranged for the two of them to rest in the room of the villa next door, and then take his private jet to India together tomorrow morning.

This is the first time for Lin Yuan to take a private jet. Except for the three passengers, the other passengers on the plane are basically Jackie Chan's accompanying assistants. After the security check in the VIP security room, Lin Yuan and others successfully boarded the plane and started flying to India.

After almost six hours, everyone successfully arrived in India from Xiangjiang.

Director Tang had already arranged for the crew to pick them up at the airport, and drove everyone to the crew in a nanny car.

The crew of "Kung Fu Yoga" was filmed in Rajasthan, India.

The reason for choosing this place is because the crew used to shoot scenes here in the movie "Myth". Now they revisit the old place, one is to pay tribute to the movie "Myth", and the second is to consider the familiarity of the local environment.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yuan arrived in Rajasthan and came to the hotel where the crew was located.

The crew had already been waiting under the hotel for a long time.

As soon as we got out of the car, the assistant director, producer and others of the crew hurried up to say hello to Jackie Chan.

Although Lin Yuan is quite popular, compared with Jackie Chan, he is obviously not at the same level.

After saying hello to Jackie Chan, the assistant director, producer and others hurried up to Lin Yuan, stretched out their hands and said, "Hello, Teacher Lin Yuan, I am the assistant director of the Kung Fu Yoga crew, you can call me Wang Luoting. "

Lin Yuanke responded politely one by one: "Hi Director Wang, hello Producer Li"

They were just saying polite words when they saw that he was famous now. Lin Yuan would not be so stupid as to call him by his name directly, but respected every crew member present.

Regarding Lin Yuan's attitude, the several crew members who came over to meet the wind were also very satisfied.

They have encountered some low-quality stars before. Because of their high reputation, they wished to treat themselves as uncles. They didn't take their crew members seriously at all, and they basically ordered them around at will.

It is really rare for a top star like Lin Yuan to maintain such an approachable attitude, and because of this, their affection for Lin Yuan has deepened a lot.

After saying hello, under the warm hospitality of the crew, Lin Yuan put away his things first, and then came to the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, except for a few actors who did not have a role in India who did not come to the crew, the rest of the people had already arrived, and they all sat in their seats and waited.

And when Jackie Chan arrived, everyone present immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hello, big brother!"

"Brother Jackie Chan is here!"

After warmly greeting the eldest brother, the next step is to greet Lin Yuan.

No, as soon as he stepped in, the producer and screenwriter of the crew got up and came over to shake hands with Lin Yuan.

"Hello, Teacher Lin Yuan!"

"It's a great honor to invite Mr. Lin Yuan to star in our movie!"

The reason why the staff of the film crew are so enthusiastic about Lin Yuan is because Lin Yuan's current reputation is too great.

The previous "One Man's Martial Arts" broke the box office record of a domestic martial arts film, making Chen Desheng a hot and famous director in their Hong Kong circle.

However, everyone in the circle knows that this movie hit the box office in Xiangjiang. Even the directors in the Hong Kong circle at that time were teasing Chen Desheng for making a bad movie and insisted on making this kind of martial arts movie. What's more, under Lin Yuan's vigorous publicity, the movie became popular immediately. This terrifying box office appeal directly shocked the entire entertainment circle.

Immediately afterwards, he starred in "The Scorching Sun", which had a box office of more than one billion. He also won the Golden Goblet Best Actor Award and became the youngest actor in history.

After winning the Best Actor, a "Tang Detective" movie once again broke through one billion at the box office, directly surpassing Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, and became an evergreen tree among actors with a billion box office!

In this case, if you are not enthusiastic about Lin Yuan, who should you be enthusiastic about?

Just after Lin Yuan was polite to the high-level crew, a handsome man quickly got up and shook hands with Lin Yuan.

"Brother Lin Yuan, long time no see." Zhang Yixing greeted Lin Yuan with a smile.

Seeing that Zhang Yixing was here, Lin Yuan immediately had a look of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party was here too. :: "I'm still wondering, who else is playing the role, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Zhang Yixing scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and replied with a smirk: "Isn't that a surprise for Brother Lin Yuan?"

"Good boy!" Lin Yuan was also happy after hearing it, but he was told that this was really a surprise, at least he would not be so lonely when he was filming next, and he would have a companion.

And Zhang Yixing seemed to know that he was inexperienced in filming, so he took this opportunity to say to Lin Yuan, "Brother Lin Yuan, please give me some advice on filming."

For such a trivial matter, Lin Yuan answered without thinking, "No problem."

From his point of view, Zhang Yixing can be regarded as his little brother, if he doesn't help him, who will he help?

In this way, after the surprise, Lin Yuan looked at the other actors. Besides Zhang Yixing, there were a few actors he didn't know.

First of all, there are two actresses, one is Disha Patani, who was born as a Miss India draft champion, and the other is Muqi Miya, who is both a yoga instructor and a graphic model.

The second is an Indian actor, Sonu Sud.

Although the two actresses are not very famous in Lin Yuan's impression, it is undeniable that these two actresses have indeed grown up to the public's aesthetics, and they are obviously much more beautiful than Internet celebrity faces.

The two parties greeted each other, and after an introduction, Lin Yuan sat down next to Jackie Chan.

After seeing this scene, the Indian actress couldn't help but look at Lin Yuan more.

Lin Yuan went to the crew hotel with Jackie Chan before, which can be explained, but sitting next to Jackie Chan directly is enough to prove that the relationship between the two is absolutely extraordinary.

Reminiscent of the enthusiastic attitude of the high-level crew members towards Lin Yuan just now, it had to make her a little curious about Lin Yuan's identity.

So he turned his head and asked in a low voice to the translator next to him, "Excuse me, Mr. Lin Yuan, is he famous in your country?"

"Of course, Mr. Lin Yuan can be said to be the young actor with the highest box office in China. Not only is his acting skills good, but most of the movies he made have broken the box office records of the same type of movies." Involuntarily straightened up.

After hearing the translator's words, Disa Patani looked at Lin Yuan with more admiration.

Director Tang Jili saw that everyone was here and didn't waste time, so he immediately started chatting about filming.

"This movie is co-produced by China and India. It is also a challenge for our crew. I would like to ask if you have any good suggestions that can perfectly combine the kung fu elements and yoga elements of this movie."

As director Tang's voice fell, the crew looked at each other for a while, and no one dared to make any suggestions first.

Seeing this, Jackie Chan was also the first to speak: "Actually, I have an idea, that is, when filming fighting scenes, we can design from the two aspects of kung fu and yoga. Through the collision of the two, maybe we can produced good results."

Listening to Jackie Chan's words, everyone in the banquet hall nodded again and again.

The reason why the movie was named "Kung Fu Yoga" was that apart from failing to obtain the copyright of "Myth 2", there was another very important reason, that is, the crew wanted to use Kung Fu and yoga to represent the different cultures of the two countries. , and at the same time show the cultures of the two countries in the film.

It is undeniable that Jackie Chan's suggestion was actually the source of the crew's idea for making this movie.

After the beginning of Jackie Chan, several high-level crew members put forward their opinions.

Finally, in summary, I actually want to continue the Jackie Chan style of film, but in this film style, elements of Indian singing and dancing are added.

As for the collision of kung fu and yoga, they also want to add it, but the problem is that time is not forgiving, and Jackie Chan is already old. Don’t look at the Jackie Chan in the movies in recent years. As before, pursue difficult movements.

Under such circumstances, in order to make this movie well, you can't really ask Jackie Chan to take his life to make it, right?
Regarding this point, director Tang Jili nodded in appreciation of these opinions.

You must know that when he first collaborated with Jackie Chan to make a movie, Jackie Chan often joked that he and Tang Jili had one thing in common: don't die.

He doesn't want his life in filming, but Tang Jili doesn't want his life in filming!

The reason why there is such a joke is that Tang Jili has arranged dangerous action scenes for Jackie Chan in the previous movies, but director Tang Jili also sees Jackie Chan's state now, so he will take it. Here are a few suggestions.

Although the Jackie Chan-style movie style presented in the end is not humorous enough, it at least guarantees the safety of Jackie Chan.

Thinking of this, everyone decided on these suggestions.

And Lin Yuan glanced at Brother Jackie Chan, he found that after everyone agreed, Brother Jackie Chan's eyes were obviously a little unwilling, it is not difficult to see that he resisted these suggestions, he did not want to appear on the screen as a mascot .

But no matter how good his idea was, it was useless. Everyone disagreed, so he could only choose to remain silent with unwilling eyes.

Besides, Lin Yuan, when he saw the unwillingness in Jackie Chan's eyes, he said tentatively: "Brother Jackie Chan, if you become a martial artist before the time, I will help you share some fighting scenes?"

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Jackie Chan had indeed been a martial arts instructor for a long time before, and even made a guest appearance as a martial arts instructor when he was filming, but in the end, Jackie Chan basically didn't mention the martial arts instructor.

It's not how tiring the martial arts instructor is, but Jackie Chan's martial arts action style, which is not something ordinary action actors can learn.

Jackie Chan's martial arts movements generally have to use the props that are readily available around him to defeat opponents through various humorous fights and light and agile figures, thus creating a laugh that makes the audience laugh.

Therefore, some netizens jokingly said: Jackie Chan would be invincible in the furniture city.

This is also the origin of Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy.

However, until now, no action star has learned the essence of Jackie Chan, so when Lin Yuan said this, everyone understood that Lin Yuan had good intentions, but they didn't think this method was useful.

Just when Director Tang Jili was about to persuade Lin Yuan, Jackie Chan smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Tang, Lin Yuan seems to have a few fight scenes in the movie, right?"

Tang Jili couldn't figure it out for a while. He didn't know what the eldest brother was going to do, so he had to answer truthfully: "That's right."

"Okay then, let's shoot Lin Yuan's fighting scenes first if we have the chance. If this kid is spiritual, then I will trouble you to change the script and add a few more fighting scenes for him to practice." Jackie Chan said very casually. Said, directly made a decision.

If someone else said such a thing, Tang Jili would definitely not respond. He is already busy enough as a director, and now he wants to change the script?Isn't this going to exhaust him?
But the one who said this was Jackie Chan. If he dared not agree, the management could directly remove him as the director.

So Tang Jili didn't say a word, and agreed directly: "Okay, then I will listen to the elder brother's arrangement."

After answering the elder brother's words, Director Tang arranged the shooting of the film briefly, and then set the time for the crew to start shooting. The official shooting time will start two days later. The reason for this is very simple. One is to let the crew adjust quickly. The second is to let the actors get to know each other more. After all, there are foreign actors, and it will be convenient for filming after a little bit of getting used to them.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan also looked at the foreign actors, and when he was about to get to know each other, he happened to meet Mu Qi Miya's gaze.

When she found that Lin Yuan was looking in this direction, Mu Qi Miya not only did not evade at all, but even raised her hair and cast a meaningful wink in Lin Yuan's direction.

After seeing Mu Qi Miya's actions, Lin Yuan quickly turned his eyes away.

The movie would take four to five months at least. He didn't want to shoot action movies during the day and continue to shoot action movies at night, 24 hours a day. Wouldn't that kill him?
