Actor: I picked up attributes on the set
Chapter 180 The prince is waiting for the flight in person, the terrifying influence of the big brot
Chapter 180 The prince is waiting for the flight in person, the terrifying influence of the big brother!
"Boom boom boom!"
As the door was knocked, Lin Yuan was also suspicious.
Although director Tang Jili said he would add plays to him, he wouldn't change the script so quickly, would he?
Besides, if it's really about the script, Director Tang can call him in the group without having to come over in person, and it's still at this time.
As for the other actors in the crew, who would look for him at this time?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking of his mother Qi Miya who was filming in the afternoon.
Mu Qi Miya is really not a vase in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga". As a yoga ambassador, apart from her proud figure, she is more flexible than many actors in terms of movement coordination.
From the fight scene this afternoon, it can be seen that she is more suitable for this kind of action movie.
But it's so late now, if it's Mu Qi Miya who knocks on the door, if she wants to come in, will she let me in or not?
While hesitating, Lin Yuan walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob.
No matter what, you can't leave him outside. If someone else in the crew sees it, there may be some scandals.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan opened the hotel room door.
As the door opened, what appeared in front of him was not his mother Qi Miya, but Zhang Yixing with a simple and honest expression.
"Yixing, why are you here?" Lin Yuan quickly stepped aside and let Zhang Yixing walk in.
At the same time, I was ashamed for a while, whether I came in to sit or not, I also underestimated the moral qualities of other actors.
Just after Zhang Yixing came in, Lin Yuan took advantage of the situation and prepared to close the door.
Zhang Yixing grabbed the doorknob and quickly explained: "Wait, brother Lin Yuan, there is another person behind."
One more person?
Hearing this, Lin Yuan glanced at the door, and sure enough, there was still a figure standing in the corridor, it was Mu Qi Miya, who had just acted with Lin Yuan in the afternoon.
The rooms on this floor are basically occupied by several of their leading actors. Mu Qi Miya stood at the door for a long time, obviously coming towards him just like Zhang Yixing, but Lin Yuan still asked: "Mu Qi Miya, what are you doing?" What can I do for you? Why don't you come in and sit down first?"
Mu Qi Miya hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and walked in.
She did come to look for Lin Yuan, but seeing that Zhang Yixing was also there, she planned to wait for Zhang Yixing to finish talking with Lin Yuan before going in, but when she thought that she was standing outside, she was afraid of being misunderstood by the rest of the crew. I agreed.
Lin Yuan closed the door, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and asked, "Yixing, what do you need from me?"
He and Zhang Yixing have known each other for a long time, and there is no need to be cautious when speaking, just ask them directly if they have something on their mind.
As for Mu Qi Miya, she didn't know why the other party was looking for him, so she had to put it aside.
Zhang Yixing took a sip of water, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lin Yuan, I came here to ask you for advice on filming. There will be a scene of mine tomorrow afternoon, and I'm afraid it will fail."
Before filming "Kung Fu Yoga", he had starred in three films, including "From Heaven" and "Shut Up!""Love" These two films that have already been released, the word of mouth is not very satisfactory.
In this case, what he wants is not to return to his comfort zone and continue to participate in variety shows to make money, but to improve his acting skills and prove that he can also be an actor.
Similarly, he is also very clear that acting is like singing, without a master to teach, it is undoubtedly a waste of time to figure it out on your own.
It's just that in the movies he made before, the other leading actors are stars like Chen Xuedong, Li Xiaolu, and Wang Yibo. It's okay to chat with them about the gossip in the entertainment industry. , Besides, these people's acting skills might not be as good as his.
Now that he finally met Lin Yuan, a powerful actor in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", he naturally wanted to learn from Lin Yuan.
Hearing that Zhang Yixing just wanted to ask about the content of the filming, Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all, and directly agreed: "No problem, find a time before filming tomorrow, and I will play with you to see what the problem is."
For him, it's just a matter of effort.
Both of them are friends who have known each other for a long time, so it's impossible not to help out with this little favor, right?
Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed, Zhang Yixing also breathed a sigh of relief. There was a mistake in the filming process before, and the director didn't dare to say anything about him because of his popularity. At most, he asked him to reshoot twice.
But the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" obviously won't work. If there are more NGs in the filming, director Tang Jili will not care about what a popular star he is, and it will be strange if he doesn't scold him bloody.
After agreeing to teach Zhang Yixing to film, Lin Yuan also set his sights on Mu Qi Miya.
In fact, when Mu Qi Miya came here at this time, everyone knew what was in her heart.
Zhang Yixing came back to the hotel early because there was no play this afternoon. If he wanted to find Lin Yuan, he could only wait until this time in the evening, but his mother, Qi Miya, had a play with Lin Yuan in the afternoon. If he really wanted Lin Yuan to teach her how to act Regarding matters, I am afraid that it has been brought up long ago, and there is no need to wait until this time.
However, Lin Yuan directly put this matter on the table.
Before Zhang Yixing left, Lin Yuan asked directly: "Mother Qi Miya, what do you want from me?"
When he said this, even if Mu Qi Miya had any thoughts, it was not good to say it in front of Zhang Yixing. Lin Yuan directly refused in disguise.
It's not that he is a gentleman, but that Mu Qi Miya is an artist under China Film International Culture Media, that is, an artist under Director Tang Jili.
I am currently filming in the hands of director Tang Jili. If there is any scandal with his artists, it will be a lot of fun.
Besides, he hasn't even finished dealing with Song Zu'er's affairs, so he doesn't dare to get involved.
Therefore, after Lin Yuan said this, Mu Qi Miya hesitated for a moment, and after sorting out her words, she said, "I actually came here to thank Mr. Lin Yuan. The scene in the afternoon was able to shoot so smoothly. , Thank you Teacher Lin Yuan for taking care of me."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said modestly: "It should be, actors also achieve each other."
He didn't take all the credit for himself.
The amazing effect of the scene in the afternoon has a lot to do with Mu Qi Miya's own condition. If she is the same size as Jia Ling, let alone whether Lin Yuan can hug her, she will be shown on the screen. The physical effect is definitely not as good as that of Mu Qi Miya.
And Lin Yuan's move undoubtedly won the favor of the two of them.
If you want to switch to other actors, in front of these two "vases" with little acting skills, they are now most likely in a preaching tone. After all, powerful actors have never been very friendly to idol stars with little acting skills. Xiang Lin It is rare to see such a humble and powerful actor.
Then the three chatted politely for a few more words.
After sending them away, Lin Yuan took a hot shower, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning.
The crew arrived at Chittorgarh Fort early to prepare for filming.
After Lin Yuan had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, he rushed over in a leisurely manner.
He really didn't have any scenes to shoot these two days, but there was nothing to stay in the hotel, so he might as well go to the production crew, and besides, Zhang Yixing had another scene in the afternoon, so he had to find out the problems with the scene in advance.
By the time Lin Yuan walked slowly to the set, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
According to the progress of the general film crew, it is only right that the first shot of the scene should be finished by this time.
However, the crew didn't know what happened, and the crew hadn't officially started work yet.
Lin Yuan was about to ask director Tang Jili if something happened to the crew, but before he could approach to ask, Zhang Yixing followed him.
Zhang Yixing walked up to Lin Yuan with the script, and asked enthusiastically, "Brother Lin Yuan, this is my play for this afternoon, please help me see where I should pay more attention."
Originally, this was what he promised last night.
So Lin Yuan didn't resist. He took the script and read it, and then asked Zhang Yixing to perform it in front of him.
Although Zhang Yixing has no experience in filming, he has participated in many variety shows after all, at least he has a strong sense of camera and knows how to grasp the key points in the script.
After watching his performance, Lin Yuan also gave his own opinion, and then demonstrated it to him.
When Lin Yuan was teaching Zhang Yixing to act, director Tang Jili had just finished speaking to a special actor when he turned his head and saw this scene.
Seeing Lin Yuan teaching so seriously, I suddenly had an idea in my heart.
Director Tang Jili waited until Lin Yuan finished teaching Zhang Yixing, put on a sad face, and walked over directly: "Lin Yuan! You came just in time, and I was just about to find you."
With curiosity, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking: "Director Tang, I see that the crew hasn't started work for so long, what's going on?"
Tang Jili seemed to see a savior, and quickly explained: "You came just in time. Wu Zhi ate badly yesterday, squatted in the toilet all night, and his legs are still weak. You should quickly push Wu Zhi's position."
In such a short time, he can't find any better reason to fool Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan thought about it carefully, he would know that Tang Jili's words were full of loopholes.
Will Jackie Chan's action movies lack martial arts guidance?
Not to mention that Jackie Chan himself is the top martial arts director in China, even the director Tang Jili has directed so many non-action films, and he has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run away, right?There is nothing wrong with being a temporary martial arts instructor.
However, although Lin Yuan was a little puzzled after hearing this, he didn't think too much about it.
He just pointed at himself in disbelief, and asked, "Me?"
The reason why he found it incredible was because the people in the family-making class were right next to him.
We must know that the family-making class is already one of the most professional martial arts instruction teams in China. Even if Wu Zhi eats up his stomach, isn't there still someone from the family-making class?
There's no need for him to do martial arts work!
However, before he could ask, Tang Jili pushed Lin Yuan towards the shooting site, and said angrily, "Who else can you have? Hurry up, and I will count you as a martial arts instructor's salary."
For a large-scale action movie like this, the salary of a general martial arts instructor is around 50 million.
For Lin Yuan's salary, maybe this salary is not worth mentioning.
But no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat, not to mention that the martial arts instructor eats up his stomach, and he only supports one or two scenes. Helping this favor is just a favor.
"Okay, which actors have problems with their movements? Just leave it to me!"
After hearing Director Tang Jili's words, Lin Yuan patted his chest and agreed.
It's not because of the salary of the martial arts instructor, but because he has been an actor before, and has never held other positions in the crew. This time, he can also experience the work content of the crew.
Although Lin Yuan is not a professional martial arts instructor, but he has watched enough movies before!
He has watched almost all the action movies made by Jackie Chan, and he can remember all the fighting moves in them. It is so easy to teach these actors.
However, it wasn't until Lin Yuan taught them that he realized that he had been fooled by director Tang Jili!
Actors like Mu Qi Miya and Disha Patani basically have no problems with their movements. The only shortcoming is that the performance is too deliberate. This is not something that the martial arts director should be responsible for, it should be the job of the director!
Taking the money from the martial arts instructor and letting him do the director's work is a good idea.
Director Tang Jili was also a little tired from lecturing to them. After seeing Lin Yuan teaching Zhang Yixing again, he came up with such thoughts. He tricked Lin Yuan into being a martial artist, which actually helped him as a director to reduce the burden.
Fortunately, this kind of New Year's comedy movie does not have particularly high requirements for acting skills. As long as the plot is attractive and the acting skills are not exaggerated, it can basically be regarded as a qualified New Year's movie.
So Lin Yuan didn't teach them too seriously, but just demonstrated the scene to them before filming.
After his demonstration, the acting skills of these actors can't be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, but at least they can be regarded as quite satisfactory. After all, they are not stupid, and their acting skills can't be improved in a short time. Can't they just imitate the performance of Lin Yuan's demonstration?
under these circumstances.
The six scenes that were originally expected to be filmed in four days may not be able to be completed, but now the filming has ended in less than three days.
The following scenes can be completed in the studio, which also relieves a lot of burden on the crew.
Seeing that the filming of the film in India will soon be over, director Tang Jili is also a little worried now, not knowing whether to go to Iceland or Dubai to shoot next.
Whether it is shooting in Iceland or going to Dubai, it is a lot of money.
The film has attracted a total investment of 4.2 million yuan. Excluding the actors' remuneration and equipment rental costs, the shooting in India is just over halfway, and only about [-] million yuan is left.
With a capital of around [-] million, it is definitely no problem to shoot in Iceland and Dubai.
The problem is that he originally wanted to imitate the Fast and Furious movie and stage a tense chase scene in Dubai.
However, judging from the current funding situation, it is obviously a bit powerless to shoot chase scenes.
In this case, there are only two options before him.
Either the chase scene will be deleted, or the chase scene will be finished filming, but it will cost too much to do so, and it may affect the subsequent shooting.
Because of this matter, Tang Jili was also a little absent-minded when filming these two days.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was in charge of teaching these actors to film, so the crew's affairs were not affected, but Jackie Chan and Lin Yuan quickly noticed that something was wrong with Director Tang.
Taking advantage of the break in the middle of filming.
Lin Yuan took a bottle of mineral water, handed it to director Tang Jili, and asked, "Director Tang, why are you out of shape these two days? Is there something wrong with the script revision?"
Tang Jili shook his head, and replied absent-mindedly: "It's not about the script, it's because the filming here is almost finished, and I'm thinking about going to Dubai to film the scene."
Hearing that he was going to Dubai, the surrounding crew members also stopped in their tracks.
Over the years, domestic crews have filmed quite a few films in foreign locations, such as "Lost in Thailand", "Tang Detective", "BJ Meets Seattle" and so on.
However, these films all have one characteristic, that is, most of the filming locations are in Southeast Asia.
Most of the reasons why I chose to film in Southeast Asian countries are because of low prices, convenient travel, and favorable local shooting policies. In the final analysis, it is to save the filming expenses of the crew.
However, their "Kung Fu Yoga" crew is still the first in China to choose to shoot a movie in Dubai!
You must know that filming in Dubai and filming in Southeast Asian countries are completely different concepts.
One is to save money and the other is to burn money.
For a chase scene in China, even if a luxury car is used, the cost may be around 3000 to [-] million, but in Dubai, the cost of the chase scene alone may have to be multiplied several times.
It's no wonder that director Tang Jili is worried about this matter.
Just when Director Tang sighed whether he wanted to delete or change the chase scene, Jackie Chan walked over from the side and comforted him: "Xiao Tang, I will contact you for the car in Dubai. You can shoot according to your own ideas."
No comment on private life, just say that in terms of filming, Jackie Chan is indeed doing his best.
It stands to reason that he is not an investor, so he doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.
But in order to meet the director Tang Jili's expectations for the effect of the movie, he still took this matter on himself, and was going to ask his friends in Dubai to help him ask how much it would cost to rent a car to make a movie.
However, even Jackie Chan himself did not expect what kind of shock his phone call would cause in Dubai!
.......
And after Jackie Chan made a decision for Tang Jili, Director Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that the script of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" wasn't that bright, and the audience was willing to go into the cinema to buy tickets, it was all for Jackie Chan.
However, now that Jackie Chan is 62 years old, at this age, it is already unrealistic for him to risk his life for filming.
In this case, director Tang Jili can only exaggerate the tense atmosphere of the entire movie story through the plot of the chase scene.
So now with Jackie Chan's guarantee, he can shoot this chase scene with confidence and boldness.
It was at the same time that Jackie Chan was calling his friends in Dubai.
Lin Yuan also teased in a low voice: "Director Tang, when the time comes to shoot the chase scene, let me drive a luxury car to have fun too?"
With his current savings, it is not a problem to buy a luxury supercar, but if he wants to buy a more expensive supercar, there are some problems. But I spent real money to buy it, but the borrowed car for the crew is another matter, especially the borrowed car itself is used for racing. In this case, I can live a racing addiction, Don't worry about your money.
And Director Tang also waved his hand, and said very boldly: "Don't worry, will I still refuse to agree to this request?"
Seeing Director Tang agreeing to Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing on the side also happily added: "Director Tang, I also want to get addicted to drag racing."
Director Tang Jili did not treat them differently, but patted his chest and agreed directly: "No problem!"
Hearing this promise, Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing couldn't help but get excited when they thought that they and others could go racing in Dubai.
For men, there are three things that are irresistible.
One is money, the other is women, and the third is cars.
Naturally, in this case, it is normal for two people to be excited.
They were also having a heated chat here, and Jackie Chan also just hung up the phone.
The surroundings suddenly became quieter, and everyone looked at Jackie Chan one after another.
Jackie Chan took a stool from the side and sat down, and said lightly: "Xiao Tang, I have contacted you about the car, and there are only [-] supercars for now. If the shooting is not enough, I will add more later."
After Jackie Chan's words fell, the originally chattering and noisy studio suddenly fell silent.
For Jackie Chan, seventy luxury supercars may not be a big deal.
But for the other people present, don't mention how shocking it is, this level of luxury can be called the domestic version of "Fast and Furious". In such a spectacular scene, I couldn't help but see the golden light in my eyes.
Tang Jili didn't seem to believe what he heard.
Looking at Jackie Chan with a serious expression in his eyes, he opened his mouth slightly, and it took a long time to react.
Originally, in his expectation, renting ten supercars would basically be able to satisfy the effect shown in the lens.
As a result, now, Jackie Chan has [-] cars in one mouthful!
It directly exceeded his expectations by a full seven times!
With such an exaggerated figure, Tang Jili was trembling with excitement when he spoke: "Seventy or seventy supercars? Brother, how much does it cost?"
Jackie Chan patted Tang Jili on the shoulder, got up and said, "You don't need to worry about these, you just need to be responsible for making this movie well."
Hearing this, Tang Jili seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.
He just stood up from the apple box, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to command: "All departments hurry up and get ready, the two scenes will not be finished this afternoon, and no one will even think about eating tonight!"
"What about the people in the props group? It's been a long time, and the scene hasn't been set up yet. They don't want to do it anymore, do they?"
After recovering from his absent-mindedness, director Tang Jili returned to his previous state of being vigorous and resolute.
On a normal day, if it goes well, you can shoot four or five scenes at most.
However, under the encouragement of director Tang Jili, shooting five scenes a day has become the minimum standard.
Of course, the reason why "Kung Fu Yoga" was filmed so smoothly was that apart from the simple plot and no requirement for acting skills, it also had something to do with Lin Yuan's personal demonstrations before every scene.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Director Tang Jili is in a hurry to finish filming the Indian scene and rush to Dubai to shoot the chase scene.
But everyone can understand that, not to mention the director Tang Jili, even the other staff members of the production team are now thinking about Dubai, wanting to see the lives of local tyrants in advance.
It was also under this kind of day and night shooting that the crew of "Kung Fu Yoga" finally finished filming the scenes in India.
After eating the last dinner with strong curry flavor in India, Lin Yuan vowed that he would never eat curry again in his life.
In the evening, all the crew members packed their luggage and prepared to take the flight tomorrow to Dubai.
Lin Yuan and the others are also on the plane the next day.
It's just that they are different from the crew, they are on Jackie Chan's private jet.
After a four hour journey.
The group finally reached the sky above Dubai.
As the flight altitude descended, Lin Yuan could vaguely see the towering buildings in Dubai through the window.
Soon, the plane landed steadily on the tarmac.
After getting off the plane.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a pick-up group consisting of nearly a hundred people standing outside. As soon as they got off the plane, they were enthusiastically surrounded by the pick-up team, waving banners with "jackie chan" and Jackie Chan's photos in their hands.
Don't look at these people's plain clothes, but from the luxury cars parked behind them, it can be seen that these people can come and go at the airport like this, even driving in, obviously they are either rich or expensive.
Obviously, these people are all here for Jackie Chan.
After seeing such a passionate scene, everyone couldn't help showing a burst of envy in their eyes.
Lin Yuan is actually fine, he rarely participates in any commercial activities, and usually goes out to other cities just to go to the crew to report and film, so the itinerary has not been announced much, even if his fans want to pick up the plane, if they don’t know the itinerary Under the circumstances, you can only give up.
But Zhang Yixing was different.
For popular stars like them, whether they are recording variety shows or participating in commercial activities, the brokerage company will announce the itinerary in advance. After the fans of the popular star know the idol's itinerary, they will often spontaneously organize support activities.
Therefore, there are often situations in China where many fans gather at the airport to pick up stars.
But even though Zhang Yixing is now considered a top star in China, he has never encountered such a spectacular airport pick-up scene.
Just when the other side was welcome.
A delicate-looking young man slowly walked towards Jackie Chan.
After Lin Yuan saw this person's appearance, he always felt familiar, but for a while he didn't know where he saw it.
Could it be a star in Dubai?
Just when Lin Yuan was puzzled, Zhang Yixing who was next to him immediately opened his mouth: "Prince Harmandan!"
"Prince Harmandan?"
Lin Yuan repeated Zhang Yixing's words, but his tone was full of doubts.
Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't seem to recognize the identity of Prince Harmandan, Zhang Yixing quickly introduced to Lin Yuan in a low voice: "Brother Lin Yuan, this is Prince Harmandan who is known as the public enemy of men around the world, heir to the royal family of Dubai."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan finally realized how frightening the identity of the young man in front of him was.
But seeing Harmandan greet Jackie Chan enthusiastically, it is hard for Lin Yuan to imagine that an heir to the royal family is actually a fan of Jackie Chan.
Just after Harmandan greeted Jackie Chan and took a photo together.
Jackie Chan also introduced to Lin Yuan, Tang Jili and others: "This is Prince Harmandan, that is to say, he is willing to lend [-] luxury cars to our crew for filming."
Hearing this, Director Tang Jili suddenly reacted.
No wonder Jackie Chan borrowed [-] luxury cars with just one phone call.
It turned out that these luxury cars were sponsored by the prince of Dubai for their shooting.
Tang Jili also shook hands and hurriedly said, "Thank you Prince Harmandan for your support. I wonder if you are free. When the time comes, will you play a cameo role in the movie?"
People are willing to take out [-] luxury cars to sponsor them to shoot this chase scene, so the director can't say no at all, can he?
Although he was helping Jackie Chan's face, he had to vote for Li.
The translator on the side also said what director Tang Jili had said. When he heard that he could star in the same movie as his idol, Prince Harmandan agreed without saying a word.
Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing were dumbfounded.
They know that Brother Jackie Chan has a lot of influence in the world, but after seeing today's scene, they still feel that they have underestimated the influence of Brother Jackie Chan.
It can be seen how exaggerated Jackie Chan's influence is by allowing the heir of the Dubai royal family, Prince Harmandan, to pursue stars to such an extent.
After chatting for a while, Prince Harmandan also invited everyone to the hotel for dinner.
Originally, director Tang Jili wanted to take advantage of the early time to book a hotel for the crew, but Prince Harmandan had already booked a hotel in the city center for them.
And they also took the initiative to ask them when to shoot this chase scene, and then they will directly block the corresponding streets to facilitate their filming.
have to say.
After seeing Prince Hamandan's actions, Lin Yuan was also envious for a while.
He is not envious of Prince Harmandan's prominent background, but envious of Jackie Chan's international influence.
But he also knows that the gap between himself and Jackie Chan is not 01:30.
Jackie Chan is the first in China and currently the only one who has won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.
The films I am shooting now have not even completely conquered domestic audiences, so why go abroad and conquer audiences all over the world?
Escorted by a supercar team.
Jackie Chan and his party also came to the banquet prepared by Prince Harmandan for Jackie Chan.
During the banquet, members of Dubai's royal family kept coming to Jackie Chan to toast and take photos. Even local government officials approached Jackie Chan, saying that they would provide all kinds of help for their upcoming filming of "Kung Fu Yoga".
Director Tang Jili, Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing and others also benefited from Jackie Chan's big brother.
Because Jackie Chan is so popular there, many local tyrants in Dubai can't get in their mouths if they want to talk to Jackie Chan.
They had no choice but to shift their targets to Tang Jili, Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing and others who co-produced with Jackie Chan.
Especially the director Tang Jili, and other local tyrants in Dubai, after hearing that Tang Jili had co-produced many films with Jackie Chan, they also took the initiative to hand over their business cards, willing to invest in his next film with Jackie Chan.
Under the warm hospitality of the royal family of Dubai.
The banquet lasted from the afternoon until nine o'clock in the evening.
When returning to the hotel room to rest, Lin Yuan still did not forget to tease director Tang Jili: "Director Tang, you promised him a cameo appearance, so don't we have to shoot more scenes in Dubai?"
Tang Jili couldn't help laughing after hearing Lin Yuan's ridicule.
If he had known that the Dubai royal family was so enthusiastic about Jackie Chan, let alone filming a scene, he would have no problem shooting the entire movie in Dubai.
He borrowed a luxury car for them, helped to close the road for filming, and even arranged the hotel directly for their crew.
If it weren't for Jackie Chan's international influence.
Where can they find such a good thing?
But when it comes to the topic of adding drama, director Tang Jili can't help but frown.
Anyway, he is also the screenwriter of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", so things like adding dramas have no effect on him.
But the question is, if there are extra plays, who will play the extra roles?
Thinking of this, director Tang Jili turned his head and asked, "Lin Yuan, you are familiar with actors from mainland China, can you find an old actor to play a cameo role?"
Lin Yuan shook his head.
He has a good relationship with many old actors.
If it's filming in a domestic film crew, it's definitely not a problem to ask someone to help out with a cameo role, but the problem is that this is in Dubai!
Called someone's old drama bone over by himself, and sat on the plane for so long just to shoot such a scene?
After hearing this, Jackie Chan on the side said, "Xiao Tang, you can just come to me for this kind of thing, what is Lin Yuan doing, is there a shortage of guest appearances?"
Having said that, Jackie Chan took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the address book.
After a while, he directly called Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei, and told them about the lack of guest stars in the filming here.
After hearing Jackie Chan calling Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei, Lin Yuan couldn't help being stunned.
It's true that Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei are old drama players, but the status of this old drama player is too big, right?
And what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that.
When the other party heard that Jackie Chan was short of guest stars for filming, he agreed without asking anything.
For this, Lin Yuan only had two words to describe it: Envy!
(End of this chapter)
"Boom boom boom!"
As the door was knocked, Lin Yuan was also suspicious.
Although director Tang Jili said he would add plays to him, he wouldn't change the script so quickly, would he?
Besides, if it's really about the script, Director Tang can call him in the group without having to come over in person, and it's still at this time.
As for the other actors in the crew, who would look for him at this time?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking of his mother Qi Miya who was filming in the afternoon.
Mu Qi Miya is really not a vase in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga". As a yoga ambassador, apart from her proud figure, she is more flexible than many actors in terms of movement coordination.
From the fight scene this afternoon, it can be seen that she is more suitable for this kind of action movie.
But it's so late now, if it's Mu Qi Miya who knocks on the door, if she wants to come in, will she let me in or not?
While hesitating, Lin Yuan walked to the door and put his hand on the doorknob.
No matter what, you can't leave him outside. If someone else in the crew sees it, there may be some scandals.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan opened the hotel room door.
As the door opened, what appeared in front of him was not his mother Qi Miya, but Zhang Yixing with a simple and honest expression.
"Yixing, why are you here?" Lin Yuan quickly stepped aside and let Zhang Yixing walk in.
At the same time, I was ashamed for a while, whether I came in to sit or not, I also underestimated the moral qualities of other actors.
Just after Zhang Yixing came in, Lin Yuan took advantage of the situation and prepared to close the door.
Zhang Yixing grabbed the doorknob and quickly explained: "Wait, brother Lin Yuan, there is another person behind."
One more person?
Hearing this, Lin Yuan glanced at the door, and sure enough, there was still a figure standing in the corridor, it was Mu Qi Miya, who had just acted with Lin Yuan in the afternoon.
The rooms on this floor are basically occupied by several of their leading actors. Mu Qi Miya stood at the door for a long time, obviously coming towards him just like Zhang Yixing, but Lin Yuan still asked: "Mu Qi Miya, what are you doing?" What can I do for you? Why don't you come in and sit down first?"
Mu Qi Miya hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and walked in.
She did come to look for Lin Yuan, but seeing that Zhang Yixing was also there, she planned to wait for Zhang Yixing to finish talking with Lin Yuan before going in, but when she thought that she was standing outside, she was afraid of being misunderstood by the rest of the crew. I agreed.
Lin Yuan closed the door, poured a glass of water for the two of them, and asked, "Yixing, what do you need from me?"
He and Zhang Yixing have known each other for a long time, and there is no need to be cautious when speaking, just ask them directly if they have something on their mind.
As for Mu Qi Miya, she didn't know why the other party was looking for him, so she had to put it aside.
Zhang Yixing took a sip of water, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Lin Yuan, I came here to ask you for advice on filming. There will be a scene of mine tomorrow afternoon, and I'm afraid it will fail."
Before filming "Kung Fu Yoga", he had starred in three films, including "From Heaven" and "Shut Up!""Love" These two films that have already been released, the word of mouth is not very satisfactory.
In this case, what he wants is not to return to his comfort zone and continue to participate in variety shows to make money, but to improve his acting skills and prove that he can also be an actor.
Similarly, he is also very clear that acting is like singing, without a master to teach, it is undoubtedly a waste of time to figure it out on your own.
It's just that in the movies he made before, the other leading actors are stars like Chen Xuedong, Li Xiaolu, and Wang Yibo. It's okay to chat with them about the gossip in the entertainment industry. , Besides, these people's acting skills might not be as good as his.
Now that he finally met Lin Yuan, a powerful actor in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", he naturally wanted to learn from Lin Yuan.
Hearing that Zhang Yixing just wanted to ask about the content of the filming, Lin Yuan did not hesitate at all, and directly agreed: "No problem, find a time before filming tomorrow, and I will play with you to see what the problem is."
For him, it's just a matter of effort.
Both of them are friends who have known each other for a long time, so it's impossible not to help out with this little favor, right?
Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed, Zhang Yixing also breathed a sigh of relief. There was a mistake in the filming process before, and the director didn't dare to say anything about him because of his popularity. At most, he asked him to reshoot twice.
But the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" obviously won't work. If there are more NGs in the filming, director Tang Jili will not care about what a popular star he is, and it will be strange if he doesn't scold him bloody.
After agreeing to teach Zhang Yixing to film, Lin Yuan also set his sights on Mu Qi Miya.
In fact, when Mu Qi Miya came here at this time, everyone knew what was in her heart.
Zhang Yixing came back to the hotel early because there was no play this afternoon. If he wanted to find Lin Yuan, he could only wait until this time in the evening, but his mother, Qi Miya, had a play with Lin Yuan in the afternoon. If he really wanted Lin Yuan to teach her how to act Regarding matters, I am afraid that it has been brought up long ago, and there is no need to wait until this time.
However, Lin Yuan directly put this matter on the table.
Before Zhang Yixing left, Lin Yuan asked directly: "Mother Qi Miya, what do you want from me?"
When he said this, even if Mu Qi Miya had any thoughts, it was not good to say it in front of Zhang Yixing. Lin Yuan directly refused in disguise.
It's not that he is a gentleman, but that Mu Qi Miya is an artist under China Film International Culture Media, that is, an artist under Director Tang Jili.
I am currently filming in the hands of director Tang Jili. If there is any scandal with his artists, it will be a lot of fun.
Besides, he hasn't even finished dealing with Song Zu'er's affairs, so he doesn't dare to get involved.
Therefore, after Lin Yuan said this, Mu Qi Miya hesitated for a moment, and after sorting out her words, she said, "I actually came here to thank Mr. Lin Yuan. The scene in the afternoon was able to shoot so smoothly. , Thank you Teacher Lin Yuan for taking care of me."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and said modestly: "It should be, actors also achieve each other."
He didn't take all the credit for himself.
The amazing effect of the scene in the afternoon has a lot to do with Mu Qi Miya's own condition. If she is the same size as Jia Ling, let alone whether Lin Yuan can hug her, she will be shown on the screen. The physical effect is definitely not as good as that of Mu Qi Miya.
And Lin Yuan's move undoubtedly won the favor of the two of them.
If you want to switch to other actors, in front of these two "vases" with little acting skills, they are now most likely in a preaching tone. After all, powerful actors have never been very friendly to idol stars with little acting skills. Xiang Lin It is rare to see such a humble and powerful actor.
Then the three chatted politely for a few more words.
After sending them away, Lin Yuan took a hot shower, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning.
The crew arrived at Chittorgarh Fort early to prepare for filming.
After Lin Yuan had a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, he rushed over in a leisurely manner.
He really didn't have any scenes to shoot these two days, but there was nothing to stay in the hotel, so he might as well go to the production crew, and besides, Zhang Yixing had another scene in the afternoon, so he had to find out the problems with the scene in advance.
By the time Lin Yuan walked slowly to the set, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.
According to the progress of the general film crew, it is only right that the first shot of the scene should be finished by this time.
However, the crew didn't know what happened, and the crew hadn't officially started work yet.
Lin Yuan was about to ask director Tang Jili if something happened to the crew, but before he could approach to ask, Zhang Yixing followed him.
Zhang Yixing walked up to Lin Yuan with the script, and asked enthusiastically, "Brother Lin Yuan, this is my play for this afternoon, please help me see where I should pay more attention."
Originally, this was what he promised last night.
So Lin Yuan didn't resist. He took the script and read it, and then asked Zhang Yixing to perform it in front of him.
Although Zhang Yixing has no experience in filming, he has participated in many variety shows after all, at least he has a strong sense of camera and knows how to grasp the key points in the script.
After watching his performance, Lin Yuan also gave his own opinion, and then demonstrated it to him.
When Lin Yuan was teaching Zhang Yixing to act, director Tang Jili had just finished speaking to a special actor when he turned his head and saw this scene.
Seeing Lin Yuan teaching so seriously, I suddenly had an idea in my heart.
Director Tang Jili waited until Lin Yuan finished teaching Zhang Yixing, put on a sad face, and walked over directly: "Lin Yuan! You came just in time, and I was just about to find you."
With curiosity, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking: "Director Tang, I see that the crew hasn't started work for so long, what's going on?"
Tang Jili seemed to see a savior, and quickly explained: "You came just in time. Wu Zhi ate badly yesterday, squatted in the toilet all night, and his legs are still weak. You should quickly push Wu Zhi's position."
In such a short time, he can't find any better reason to fool Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan thought about it carefully, he would know that Tang Jili's words were full of loopholes.
Will Jackie Chan's action movies lack martial arts guidance?
Not to mention that Jackie Chan himself is the top martial arts director in China, even the director Tang Jili has directed so many non-action films, and he has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run away, right?There is nothing wrong with being a temporary martial arts instructor.
However, although Lin Yuan was a little puzzled after hearing this, he didn't think too much about it.
He just pointed at himself in disbelief, and asked, "Me?"
The reason why he found it incredible was because the people in the family-making class were right next to him.
We must know that the family-making class is already one of the most professional martial arts instruction teams in China. Even if Wu Zhi eats up his stomach, isn't there still someone from the family-making class?
There's no need for him to do martial arts work!
However, before he could ask, Tang Jili pushed Lin Yuan towards the shooting site, and said angrily, "Who else can you have? Hurry up, and I will count you as a martial arts instructor's salary."
For a large-scale action movie like this, the salary of a general martial arts instructor is around 50 million.
For Lin Yuan's salary, maybe this salary is not worth mentioning.
But no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat, not to mention that the martial arts instructor eats up his stomach, and he only supports one or two scenes. Helping this favor is just a favor.
"Okay, which actors have problems with their movements? Just leave it to me!"
After hearing Director Tang Jili's words, Lin Yuan patted his chest and agreed.
It's not because of the salary of the martial arts instructor, but because he has been an actor before, and has never held other positions in the crew. This time, he can also experience the work content of the crew.
Although Lin Yuan is not a professional martial arts instructor, but he has watched enough movies before!
He has watched almost all the action movies made by Jackie Chan, and he can remember all the fighting moves in them. It is so easy to teach these actors.
However, it wasn't until Lin Yuan taught them that he realized that he had been fooled by director Tang Jili!
Actors like Mu Qi Miya and Disha Patani basically have no problems with their movements. The only shortcoming is that the performance is too deliberate. This is not something that the martial arts director should be responsible for, it should be the job of the director!
Taking the money from the martial arts instructor and letting him do the director's work is a good idea.
Director Tang Jili was also a little tired from lecturing to them. After seeing Lin Yuan teaching Zhang Yixing again, he came up with such thoughts. He tricked Lin Yuan into being a martial artist, which actually helped him as a director to reduce the burden.
Fortunately, this kind of New Year's comedy movie does not have particularly high requirements for acting skills. As long as the plot is attractive and the acting skills are not exaggerated, it can basically be regarded as a qualified New Year's movie.
So Lin Yuan didn't teach them too seriously, but just demonstrated the scene to them before filming.
After his demonstration, the acting skills of these actors can't be said to have improved by leaps and bounds, but at least they can be regarded as quite satisfactory. After all, they are not stupid, and their acting skills can't be improved in a short time. Can't they just imitate the performance of Lin Yuan's demonstration?
under these circumstances.
The six scenes that were originally expected to be filmed in four days may not be able to be completed, but now the filming has ended in less than three days.
The following scenes can be completed in the studio, which also relieves a lot of burden on the crew.
Seeing that the filming of the film in India will soon be over, director Tang Jili is also a little worried now, not knowing whether to go to Iceland or Dubai to shoot next.
Whether it is shooting in Iceland or going to Dubai, it is a lot of money.
The film has attracted a total investment of 4.2 million yuan. Excluding the actors' remuneration and equipment rental costs, the shooting in India is just over halfway, and only about [-] million yuan is left.
With a capital of around [-] million, it is definitely no problem to shoot in Iceland and Dubai.
The problem is that he originally wanted to imitate the Fast and Furious movie and stage a tense chase scene in Dubai.
However, judging from the current funding situation, it is obviously a bit powerless to shoot chase scenes.
In this case, there are only two options before him.
Either the chase scene will be deleted, or the chase scene will be finished filming, but it will cost too much to do so, and it may affect the subsequent shooting.
Because of this matter, Tang Jili was also a little absent-minded when filming these two days.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was in charge of teaching these actors to film, so the crew's affairs were not affected, but Jackie Chan and Lin Yuan quickly noticed that something was wrong with Director Tang.
Taking advantage of the break in the middle of filming.
Lin Yuan took a bottle of mineral water, handed it to director Tang Jili, and asked, "Director Tang, why are you out of shape these two days? Is there something wrong with the script revision?"
Tang Jili shook his head, and replied absent-mindedly: "It's not about the script, it's because the filming here is almost finished, and I'm thinking about going to Dubai to film the scene."
Hearing that he was going to Dubai, the surrounding crew members also stopped in their tracks.
Over the years, domestic crews have filmed quite a few films in foreign locations, such as "Lost in Thailand", "Tang Detective", "BJ Meets Seattle" and so on.
However, these films all have one characteristic, that is, most of the filming locations are in Southeast Asia.
Most of the reasons why I chose to film in Southeast Asian countries are because of low prices, convenient travel, and favorable local shooting policies. In the final analysis, it is to save the filming expenses of the crew.
However, their "Kung Fu Yoga" crew is still the first in China to choose to shoot a movie in Dubai!
You must know that filming in Dubai and filming in Southeast Asian countries are completely different concepts.
One is to save money and the other is to burn money.
For a chase scene in China, even if a luxury car is used, the cost may be around 3000 to [-] million, but in Dubai, the cost of the chase scene alone may have to be multiplied several times.
It's no wonder that director Tang Jili is worried about this matter.
Just when Director Tang sighed whether he wanted to delete or change the chase scene, Jackie Chan walked over from the side and comforted him: "Xiao Tang, I will contact you for the car in Dubai. You can shoot according to your own ideas."
No comment on private life, just say that in terms of filming, Jackie Chan is indeed doing his best.
It stands to reason that he is not an investor, so he doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all.
But in order to meet the director Tang Jili's expectations for the effect of the movie, he still took this matter on himself, and was going to ask his friends in Dubai to help him ask how much it would cost to rent a car to make a movie.
However, even Jackie Chan himself did not expect what kind of shock his phone call would cause in Dubai!
.......
And after Jackie Chan made a decision for Tang Jili, Director Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that the script of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga" wasn't that bright, and the audience was willing to go into the cinema to buy tickets, it was all for Jackie Chan.
However, now that Jackie Chan is 62 years old, at this age, it is already unrealistic for him to risk his life for filming.
In this case, director Tang Jili can only exaggerate the tense atmosphere of the entire movie story through the plot of the chase scene.
So now with Jackie Chan's guarantee, he can shoot this chase scene with confidence and boldness.
It was at the same time that Jackie Chan was calling his friends in Dubai.
Lin Yuan also teased in a low voice: "Director Tang, when the time comes to shoot the chase scene, let me drive a luxury car to have fun too?"
With his current savings, it is not a problem to buy a luxury supercar, but if he wants to buy a more expensive supercar, there are some problems. But I spent real money to buy it, but the borrowed car for the crew is another matter, especially the borrowed car itself is used for racing. In this case, I can live a racing addiction, Don't worry about your money.
And Director Tang also waved his hand, and said very boldly: "Don't worry, will I still refuse to agree to this request?"
Seeing Director Tang agreeing to Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing on the side also happily added: "Director Tang, I also want to get addicted to drag racing."
Director Tang Jili did not treat them differently, but patted his chest and agreed directly: "No problem!"
Hearing this promise, Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing couldn't help but get excited when they thought that they and others could go racing in Dubai.
For men, there are three things that are irresistible.
One is money, the other is women, and the third is cars.
Naturally, in this case, it is normal for two people to be excited.
They were also having a heated chat here, and Jackie Chan also just hung up the phone.
The surroundings suddenly became quieter, and everyone looked at Jackie Chan one after another.
Jackie Chan took a stool from the side and sat down, and said lightly: "Xiao Tang, I have contacted you about the car, and there are only [-] supercars for now. If the shooting is not enough, I will add more later."
After Jackie Chan's words fell, the originally chattering and noisy studio suddenly fell silent.
For Jackie Chan, seventy luxury supercars may not be a big deal.
But for the other people present, don't mention how shocking it is, this level of luxury can be called the domestic version of "Fast and Furious". In such a spectacular scene, I couldn't help but see the golden light in my eyes.
Tang Jili didn't seem to believe what he heard.
Looking at Jackie Chan with a serious expression in his eyes, he opened his mouth slightly, and it took a long time to react.
Originally, in his expectation, renting ten supercars would basically be able to satisfy the effect shown in the lens.
As a result, now, Jackie Chan has [-] cars in one mouthful!
It directly exceeded his expectations by a full seven times!
With such an exaggerated figure, Tang Jili was trembling with excitement when he spoke: "Seventy or seventy supercars? Brother, how much does it cost?"
Jackie Chan patted Tang Jili on the shoulder, got up and said, "You don't need to worry about these, you just need to be responsible for making this movie well."
Hearing this, Tang Jili seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.
He just stood up from the apple box, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to command: "All departments hurry up and get ready, the two scenes will not be finished this afternoon, and no one will even think about eating tonight!"
"What about the people in the props group? It's been a long time, and the scene hasn't been set up yet. They don't want to do it anymore, do they?"
After recovering from his absent-mindedness, director Tang Jili returned to his previous state of being vigorous and resolute.
On a normal day, if it goes well, you can shoot four or five scenes at most.
However, under the encouragement of director Tang Jili, shooting five scenes a day has become the minimum standard.
Of course, the reason why "Kung Fu Yoga" was filmed so smoothly was that apart from the simple plot and no requirement for acting skills, it also had something to do with Lin Yuan's personal demonstrations before every scene.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Director Tang Jili is in a hurry to finish filming the Indian scene and rush to Dubai to shoot the chase scene.
But everyone can understand that, not to mention the director Tang Jili, even the other staff members of the production team are now thinking about Dubai, wanting to see the lives of local tyrants in advance.
It was also under this kind of day and night shooting that the crew of "Kung Fu Yoga" finally finished filming the scenes in India.
After eating the last dinner with strong curry flavor in India, Lin Yuan vowed that he would never eat curry again in his life.
In the evening, all the crew members packed their luggage and prepared to take the flight tomorrow to Dubai.
Lin Yuan and the others are also on the plane the next day.
It's just that they are different from the crew, they are on Jackie Chan's private jet.
After a four hour journey.
The group finally reached the sky above Dubai.
As the flight altitude descended, Lin Yuan could vaguely see the towering buildings in Dubai through the window.
Soon, the plane landed steadily on the tarmac.
After getting off the plane.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a pick-up group consisting of nearly a hundred people standing outside. As soon as they got off the plane, they were enthusiastically surrounded by the pick-up team, waving banners with "jackie chan" and Jackie Chan's photos in their hands.
Don't look at these people's plain clothes, but from the luxury cars parked behind them, it can be seen that these people can come and go at the airport like this, even driving in, obviously they are either rich or expensive.
Obviously, these people are all here for Jackie Chan.
After seeing such a passionate scene, everyone couldn't help showing a burst of envy in their eyes.
Lin Yuan is actually fine, he rarely participates in any commercial activities, and usually goes out to other cities just to go to the crew to report and film, so the itinerary has not been announced much, even if his fans want to pick up the plane, if they don’t know the itinerary Under the circumstances, you can only give up.
But Zhang Yixing was different.
For popular stars like them, whether they are recording variety shows or participating in commercial activities, the brokerage company will announce the itinerary in advance. After the fans of the popular star know the idol's itinerary, they will often spontaneously organize support activities.
Therefore, there are often situations in China where many fans gather at the airport to pick up stars.
But even though Zhang Yixing is now considered a top star in China, he has never encountered such a spectacular airport pick-up scene.
Just when the other side was welcome.
A delicate-looking young man slowly walked towards Jackie Chan.
After Lin Yuan saw this person's appearance, he always felt familiar, but for a while he didn't know where he saw it.
Could it be a star in Dubai?
Just when Lin Yuan was puzzled, Zhang Yixing who was next to him immediately opened his mouth: "Prince Harmandan!"
"Prince Harmandan?"
Lin Yuan repeated Zhang Yixing's words, but his tone was full of doubts.
Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't seem to recognize the identity of Prince Harmandan, Zhang Yixing quickly introduced to Lin Yuan in a low voice: "Brother Lin Yuan, this is Prince Harmandan who is known as the public enemy of men around the world, heir to the royal family of Dubai."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan finally realized how frightening the identity of the young man in front of him was.
But seeing Harmandan greet Jackie Chan enthusiastically, it is hard for Lin Yuan to imagine that an heir to the royal family is actually a fan of Jackie Chan.
Just after Harmandan greeted Jackie Chan and took a photo together.
Jackie Chan also introduced to Lin Yuan, Tang Jili and others: "This is Prince Harmandan, that is to say, he is willing to lend [-] luxury cars to our crew for filming."
Hearing this, Director Tang Jili suddenly reacted.
No wonder Jackie Chan borrowed [-] luxury cars with just one phone call.
It turned out that these luxury cars were sponsored by the prince of Dubai for their shooting.
Tang Jili also shook hands and hurriedly said, "Thank you Prince Harmandan for your support. I wonder if you are free. When the time comes, will you play a cameo role in the movie?"
People are willing to take out [-] luxury cars to sponsor them to shoot this chase scene, so the director can't say no at all, can he?
Although he was helping Jackie Chan's face, he had to vote for Li.
The translator on the side also said what director Tang Jili had said. When he heard that he could star in the same movie as his idol, Prince Harmandan agreed without saying a word.
Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing were dumbfounded.
They know that Brother Jackie Chan has a lot of influence in the world, but after seeing today's scene, they still feel that they have underestimated the influence of Brother Jackie Chan.
It can be seen how exaggerated Jackie Chan's influence is by allowing the heir of the Dubai royal family, Prince Harmandan, to pursue stars to such an extent.
After chatting for a while, Prince Harmandan also invited everyone to the hotel for dinner.
Originally, director Tang Jili wanted to take advantage of the early time to book a hotel for the crew, but Prince Harmandan had already booked a hotel in the city center for them.
And they also took the initiative to ask them when to shoot this chase scene, and then they will directly block the corresponding streets to facilitate their filming.
have to say.
After seeing Prince Hamandan's actions, Lin Yuan was also envious for a while.
He is not envious of Prince Harmandan's prominent background, but envious of Jackie Chan's international influence.
But he also knows that the gap between himself and Jackie Chan is not 01:30.
Jackie Chan is the first in China and currently the only one who has won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.
The films I am shooting now have not even completely conquered domestic audiences, so why go abroad and conquer audiences all over the world?
Escorted by a supercar team.
Jackie Chan and his party also came to the banquet prepared by Prince Harmandan for Jackie Chan.
During the banquet, members of Dubai's royal family kept coming to Jackie Chan to toast and take photos. Even local government officials approached Jackie Chan, saying that they would provide all kinds of help for their upcoming filming of "Kung Fu Yoga".
Director Tang Jili, Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing and others also benefited from Jackie Chan's big brother.
Because Jackie Chan is so popular there, many local tyrants in Dubai can't get in their mouths if they want to talk to Jackie Chan.
They had no choice but to shift their targets to Tang Jili, Lin Yuan, Zhang Yixing and others who co-produced with Jackie Chan.
Especially the director Tang Jili, and other local tyrants in Dubai, after hearing that Tang Jili had co-produced many films with Jackie Chan, they also took the initiative to hand over their business cards, willing to invest in his next film with Jackie Chan.
Under the warm hospitality of the royal family of Dubai.
The banquet lasted from the afternoon until nine o'clock in the evening.
When returning to the hotel room to rest, Lin Yuan still did not forget to tease director Tang Jili: "Director Tang, you promised him a cameo appearance, so don't we have to shoot more scenes in Dubai?"
Tang Jili couldn't help laughing after hearing Lin Yuan's ridicule.
If he had known that the Dubai royal family was so enthusiastic about Jackie Chan, let alone filming a scene, he would have no problem shooting the entire movie in Dubai.
He borrowed a luxury car for them, helped to close the road for filming, and even arranged the hotel directly for their crew.
If it weren't for Jackie Chan's international influence.
Where can they find such a good thing?
But when it comes to the topic of adding drama, director Tang Jili can't help but frown.
Anyway, he is also the screenwriter of the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", so things like adding dramas have no effect on him.
But the question is, if there are extra plays, who will play the extra roles?
Thinking of this, director Tang Jili turned his head and asked, "Lin Yuan, you are familiar with actors from mainland China, can you find an old actor to play a cameo role?"
Lin Yuan shook his head.
He has a good relationship with many old actors.
If it's filming in a domestic film crew, it's definitely not a problem to ask someone to help out with a cameo role, but the problem is that this is in Dubai!
Called someone's old drama bone over by himself, and sat on the plane for so long just to shoot such a scene?
After hearing this, Jackie Chan on the side said, "Xiao Tang, you can just come to me for this kind of thing, what is Lin Yuan doing, is there a shortage of guest appearances?"
Having said that, Jackie Chan took out his mobile phone and rummaged through the address book.
After a while, he directly called Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei, and told them about the lack of guest stars in the filming here.
After hearing Jackie Chan calling Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei, Lin Yuan couldn't help being stunned.
It's true that Zhang Guoli and Zeng Zhiwei are old drama players, but the status of this old drama player is too big, right?
And what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that.
When the other party heard that Jackie Chan was short of guest stars for filming, he agreed without asking anything.
For this, Lin Yuan only had two words to describe it: Envy!
