Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 182 Invitation from Mango Terrace

Time passed, and with the enthusiastic help of the Dubai royal family, the filming of the crew was soon ready.

One night in advance, director Tang Jili had notified all the crew members that he was full of confidence in this long-prepared chase scene.

The film crew did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they made preparations under the hotel early the next morning.

Lin Yuan also arrived at the dressing room on the first floor of the hotel very early, allowing the stylist to make changes on his face.

After changing his clothes, when he walked from the dressing room to the entrance of the hotel, he was directly shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw [-] luxury cars prepared by Prince Harmandan of Dubai, parked neatly on the street in front of the hotel. At a glance, almost none of the [-] luxury cars was heavy.

Even Zhang Yixing, who was standing aside, couldn't help but dilate his pupils a little after seeing this scene.

With his strength, it is no problem to buy a few luxury cars.

But let him collect more than 70 luxury cars and even a customized supercar worth hundreds of millions of dollars at once like Prince Harmandan, which is a bit difficult for him.

Seeing this, Zhang Yixing was also gearing up, and couldn't help but get a little excited: "Brother Lin Yuan, how is your driving skill? Do we want to compete in a fast car later?"

Before Lin Yuan could answer, director Tang Jili interrupted Zhang Yixing's beautiful fantasy: "What are you thinking? You're still driving fast. If something happens, can the crew afford it?"

If this kind of chase scene wants to shoot a real sense of excitement, it is inherently dangerous.

Even professional stunt drivers can't guarantee that there will be no mistakes in filming this kind of scene, bumps and bumps are inevitable.

It doesn’t matter if these luxury cars are damaged. The maintenance cost of a car is probably several million, and the most expensive is only ten million. At least their crew can afford it, but if top stars like Lin Yuan and Zhang Yixing are in If something unexpected happens during the filming of this scene, then their crew may only have to face the option of a complete shutdown.

Under such circumstances, director Tang Jili would naturally not agree to the request of the two leading actors to film the chase scene in person.

After hearing director Tang Jili's resolute answer, Zhang Yixing couldn't help but lose interest.

After dispelling Zhang Yixing's bold idea of ​​adventure, Director Tang Jili walked straight to the shooting location, and started directing with the walkie-talkie.

"Every department prepares, the photography team prepares, check if there is any problem with the equipment!"

"Stunt drivers are ready to enter, let's try one in half an hour!"

have to say.

The royal family of Dubai is quite concerned about this scene.

Not only were two entire roads blocked for the filming of "Kung Fu Yoga", but also a lot of police forces were mobilized to cooperate with the filming crew to film the chase scene.

With the cooperation of the Dubai Police, the crew also started filming soon.

The chase scene was shot in three takes.

One is that the camera gives a panoramic view, and the stunt driver drives the vehicle to shoot the complete chase scene first.

After filming more than 70 luxury car chase scenes, the leading actors Jackie Chan and Lin Yuan got into the car to shoot close-up shots. Through post-production editing, the audience was presented with a scene where the leading actors drove the vehicles to shoot the chase from beginning to end. feel of the play.

As for the last shot, it's a fight scene in the chase scene.

The first two shots took a whole morning, and they were filmed smoothly. However, when a McLaren worth tens of millions was reported as damaged during the filming, Director Tang Jili was somewhat distressed.

Soon, it was the last and most exciting scene of this chase scene.

Before filming this scene, director Tang Jili pulled Lin Yuan aside, and said earnestly: "Lin Yuan, you also know how dangerous this scene is. My suggestion to Brother Jackie Chan is to let the stand in."

The scene of snatching gems was originally filmed by Jackie Chan.

But Jackie Chan is old after all. After filming the movie "Zodiac", Jackie Chan basically bid farewell to such thrilling and dangerous stunts. Even Tang Jili, his old partner, dared not arrange any more dangers for him. action.

Since Jackie Chan can't shoot this kind of dangerous action, he can only hand it over to other actors, or use a substitute from the family class.

When filming in India before, Lin Yuan's fighting scenes were approved by director Tang Jili and Jackie Chan, so director Tang also agreed directly at that time, and handed over the scene to Lin Yuan for filming.

However, after the martial arts director of the crew tried to shoot a few shots, they realized that the difficulty of this scene was far beyond their imagination.

In the process of driving, if you jump from one car to another, if you don’t pay attention, you may have to fall from the car. Even if your life is not in danger under the safety protection of the crew, it will hurt your tendons. Bone breaking is definitely inevitable.

Under such circumstances, director Tang Jili couldn't help but feel a little worried, and decided to ask a stand-in to help Lin Yuan finish the fight scene.

However, for Lin Yuan, although this play is dangerous, it is also an opportunity.

There are not many bright scenes in the movie "Kung Fu Yoga", and this chase scene is one of them.

In order for this movie to win a higher box office, and for himself to win a box office of tens of billions as soon as possible, Lin Yuan felt that he had to give it a try.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said firmly: "Director Tang, let me try this scene first, if it doesn't work, it won't be too late to act as a stand-in."

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

Seeing that Lin Yuan was so determined, Director Tang Jili had no choice but to agree: "Then I will ask the props team to prepare some protective measures for you. If the situation is not right, then I will directly use the substitute."

Lin Yuan nodded and agreed.

The staff of the props team immediately surrounded him, put on knee pads and wrist guards for him, and laid an air cushion behind the car.

If Lin Yuanzhen made a mistake and fell to the ground, there would be an air cushion to cushion the impact.

After everything is ready.

The camera quickly panned to Lin Yuan standing in the driver's seat of the Bentley Continental.

It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous. Although the vehicles have slowed down, after all, there is a distance of one or two meters. Whether they can accurately jump onto the Hummer H2 next to them is still a problem.

Not only Lin Yuan, but even the surrounding crew members held their breath for a moment.

All eyes immediately focused on Lin Yuan.

For Lin Yuan to go into battle in person, it can be said that it aroused the shock of all the crew members.

The stand-in is willing to take the risk of filming such a dangerous scene because it needs to make money.

But Lin Yuan is already a top star, with both fame and fortune, and it is the development period of his career.

How dare he take the risk to make this kind of scene?
Just when everyone's eyes were on Lin Yuan, the vehicle in the camera was about to drive out of the frame, and there was not much time left for him to make a decision.

Now Lin Yuan knows why Jackie Chan became an international superstar. Apart from his unique martial arts style, the most important thing is that Jackie Chan dares to do stunts that ordinary people dare not. These days, few actors dare to take their lives Filming?

After taking a deep breath, Lin Yuan looked at the right time and jumped onto the Hummer H2 without any risk. His hands were already sweating slightly, and his mind went blank for an instant. Grabbing the roof trim, he took out the box containing gems from the passenger seat with one hand.

Seeing that Lin Yuan successfully jumped into another car, after completing this thrilling action.

If it weren't for the fact that the filming of the scene hadn't been completed, everyone present would have shouted excitedly.

It wasn't until Lin Yuan turned over and climbed onto the roof of the Hummer H2 with the box in hand, that director Tang Jili took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Cut!"

"Beautiful! This one is over!"

Following Director Tang Jili's voice fell.

The entire filming scene burst into intense cheers, and everyone applauded for Lin Yuan's thrilling leap.

Even Jackie Chan stood up from the stool after seeing Lin Yuan personally complete this stunt, with a strange gleam in his eyes. In his era, there were not many actors who dared to work so hard, let alone Don't say it now.

Just as Jackie Chan wanted to search his brains to find two words to praise Lin Yuan, his thoughts were interrupted by a voice from the side.

Tang Jili's assistant shouted on the set with a loudspeaker: "Call work! Today's scene is over!"

After hearing this, the cheers on the set raised an octave again.

On the way back to the hotel.

Now that Lin Yuan recalled his action of jumping out of the car just now, his back felt a chill.

If I didn't jump on the car, or if I slipped my hand and didn't catch the car, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, he has no regrets about his choice at the time.

He has already shown this thrilling scene with the most realistic performance.

No matter what the final effect is, he only knows one thing. When "Kung Fu Yoga" is released, the audience will be stunned by his thrilling jump after seeing this scene!
In the evening, in the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.

Prince Harmandan made an excuse, saying that he was celebrating the successful filming of "Kung Fu Yoga", but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had prepared this banquet for Jackie Chan.

But for director Tang Jili, this banquet can just be used as Lin Yuan's finale.

That's right.

After filming today's most important chase scene, Lin Yuan can basically announce that it's finished. Unless there are some temporary extra scenes behind the crew, according to the current script, all his scenes have been filmed.

In fact, Lin Yuan has quite a few roles, besides Jackie Chan, he can be said to be the leading actor with the most roles in the crew.

It's just that because his scenes are too intensive, and the filming is quite smooth, he became the first lead actor in the crew to wrap up.

At the banquet, except for Jackie Chan who was busy dealing with members of the Dubai royal family.

Almost all other crew members took the initiative to offer a toast to Lin Yuan. Needless to say, leading actors such as Zhang Yixing and Mu Qi Miya, Lin Yuan taught them a lot about acting skills during the filming process. It is reasonable to thank Lin Yuan things.

And those crew members were out of admiration for Lin Yuan.

From the filming of "Kung Fu Yoga" to the present, they have seen Lin Yuan's dedication to work. Every time he shoots Lin Yuan's scene, it is a kind of enjoyment. It is normal for Lin Yuan to go through things once and for all.

Director Tang Jili also took this opportunity to ask Lin Yuanlai: "Lin Yuan, what are your plans for the future? If nothing happens, why don't you continue to be a martial arts instructor with the group?"

After hearing that Director Tang wanted him to continue to be a martial arts instructor, Lin Yuan quickly found an excuse: "Forget it as a martial arts instructor. I'm going back to China in two days, and there are still some things to deal with over there."

"Really, that's a pity."

Tang Jili put on a very regretful look.

There are not many actors with solid acting skills like Lin Yuan, and they can also help him, the director, share the burden of telling the show. If Lin Yuan is willing to continue with the crew, the production speed of the crew will probably be much faster.

But Lin Yuan said so, and he was too embarrassed to force it. After thinking about it, he got up and raised his wine glass, and said, "Come on, come on, let's all congratulate Teacher Lin Yuan on finishing the filming."

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Yuan for finishing it!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Yuan for the early completion!!!"

After director Tang Jili took the lead, other crew members also raised their glasses and cheered.

When the "Kung Fu Yoga" crew was still filming the next few scenes in Dubai.

Lin Yuan has already boarded the flight back to China.

By the time he got back to the apartment, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

After sending sister Xia a message on wechat that she had arrived at the apartment.

He simply took a shower, lay on the bed with his mobile phone and browsed the latest news.

When he was abroad, Lin Yuan also paid attention to the news in the domestic entertainment circle, but not frequently, and basically checked every other day or two to see if there was any major news.

Just as he was scrolling through the trending searches on Weibo, Miss Xia suddenly called him.

"Sister Xia, are you still asleep at this time?"

"Sleep? How to sleep? There are a lot of things in the company that haven't been dealt with yet."

Sister Xia's complaining words came from the other end of the phone, that's what she said, but there was no trace of complaint in her tone.

Lin Yuan can also understand that Sister Xia is now the director of the agency department. In addition to the two artists in her own hands, sometimes she has to deal with the artistes in the company's other managers' hands. It is not strange to work overtime at this time.

However, I was somewhat curious about sister Xia looking for him at this time.

So he smiled, and asked straight to the point: "Then if you don't deal with the matter at hand at this time, what's the matter with me?"

"You are my cash cow, other people's affairs are not as important as yours." Sister Xia first teased, and then brought the topic back: "Two days ago, director Hua Qiangu approached you and said that a TV series is about to be released. , I want your main creators to record a variety show on Mango Channel to promote the TV series, how about it, do you want to agree?"

Just when Lin Yuan was hesitating whether to agree or not.

Sister Xia explained to Lin Yuan earnestly: "You are just free now, I suggest you to record a variety show. Since you won the Golden Goblet Award at the Shanghai International Film Festival, you basically haven't appeared in many shows. In the middle of the media's camera, and you have been busy filming in the middle, and you have not organized a visit to the set, which has caused the popularity of you on the Internet to drop a lot. This time the TV series is released, in addition to promoting the TV series, you can also use this Opportunity, let you increase your presence in front of the media cameras, so that the company can help you manage your popularity."

Sister Xia quickly expressed all her plans.

Originally, after Lin Yuan finished filming the TV series "In the Name of the People", Xitian planned to let Lin Yuan expose more in front of the media, so as not only to ensure Lin Yuan's popularity, but also to have a positive impact on Lin Yuan's follow-up drama. Great help.

It's just that even Xitian Media Company didn't expect that Lin Yuan not only received the movie, but also starred in a movie starring Jackie Chan, which disrupted their arrangement all of a sudden. Let's put the movie with Jackie Chan aside, shall we?

Fortunately, Lin Yuan is now returning to China, and it just happens that the TV series "A Thousand Bone of Flowers" is released, so he can use this excuse to get a wave of exposure in front of the media.

Lin Yuan couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Recording variety shows?"

"A Thousand Bone of Flower" was broadcast on Mango Channel. This matter was already confirmed when the crew was filming. Now that the TV series "A Thousand Bone of Flower" is about to be released, it is reasonable to expose and publicize it on the variety show of Mango Channel. matter.

Since Miss Xia had analyzed it so clearly for him, it would be a bit unreasonable if he refused.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan also directly agreed: "Okay, then I will trouble Miss Xia to give Director Lin a word."
