China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 805 Venom!

On the set in Hollywood, Los Angeles, Fang Yu is busy preparing for the filming of his new movie "Venom".

The film will be directed by the director he carefully selected, Ruben Fleischer, and he himself will play the leading role.

"To put it simply," Fang Yu orally narrated the plot of Venom to the team members present, including Tobey Maguire, who played Spider-Man.

"Venom tells the story of a reporter named Eddie, who originally had a stable life, but encountered a huge turning point in his life because of investigating the illegal activities of the Life Foundation. In an accident, he combined with a symbiote from outer space and became 'Venom' with extraordinary power."

Fang Yu continued to describe: "This symbiote gives Eddie extraordinary strength and abilities, but also brings a feral impulse and violent tendency. Eddie must learn to control this power while facing the pursuit of the Life Foundation and his own inner struggle."

"This film is not just a superhero movie, it explores the themes of identity, moral boundaries and self-control in depth... The relationship between Venom and Eddie is complex and subtle. They are both host and parasite, and interdependent partners."

Fang Yu rubbed his brows, "So we have to think of a lot of black humor. This is an anti-superhero movie, so it has to be funny, black humor."

Everyone present was deeply attracted by Fang Yu's description. Tobey Maguire was even more surprised and excited: "Wow, this plot sounds very novel and profound. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product of this movie. Stephen, how did you come up with this idea? I never thought that the parasitic monster in Spider-Man 3 could be derived into an independent movie."

Fang Yu smiled and replied: "I have always been interested in complex characters and deep human stories. Venom provides a great opportunity to explore these themes while also showing a different perspective from traditional superhero movies."

"To put it simply, the success of Joker is no accident. Movie fans have a strong curiosity about anti-heroes and even villains. As long as we grasp this point, there are many themes for blockbuster movies."

Fang Yu was just about to reveal his next plan - Deadpool. Everyone who heard it nodded collectively, thinking that Stephen Fang was truly a peerless genius.

Toby nodded in agreement: "This is indeed a very unique story, I believe the audience will like it Stephen, I am very happy to be involved in this project, even if it is just a cameo."

"Don't worry, if the box office of Venom 1 is satisfactory, I will arrange a script for you to work together with Venom in the second film, and create a superhero movie universe that belongs to you and Venom!"

Tobey Maguire's eyes lit up, "I can't wait! Stephen!"

------

Fang Yu, wearing a windbreaker, walked around in the simulated laboratory.

The camera follows him, capturing his movements as he carefully examines documents and evidence.

His expression changes from curiosity to suspicion, revealing the secrets of the Life Foundation to the audience.
This was Fang Yu's countless close-up shots. For him, the difficulty of this scene was as easy as drinking soup. The shooting was also extremely smooth. Even if it was a one-shot shot, it was shot perfectly without any NGs.

Director Ruben Fleischer was so amazed! He didn't know how to praise his producer, screenwriter and lead actor Fang Yu, he could only keep saying "Maiga, Maiga".
His surprise turned into...Oh, Meredith Haha! until the hero played by Fang Yu met his "heroine" "Venom"!

As night falls on the Hollywood set in Los Angeles, the lights on the streets dim, creating a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Fang Yu plays Eddie Brock in a narrow back alley that will be the location of Venom's awakening.

Around the set, staff were busy in a tense and orderly manner.

The lighting technician adjusted the equipment to create the effect of clear light at night; the sound engineer tested the background noise to ensure that the tense atmosphere could be conveyed; the makeup artist made the final check and touch-ups on Fang Yu's face to ensure that the special effects makeup was flawless under the camera.

Fang Yu wore a special motion capture suit covered with capture points so that the post-production special effects team could accurately create the image of Venom.

Then, Fang Yu tied on the wire traction rope that he was very familiar with.

At the director's command, the camera began to move slowly, capturing every subtle expression of Fang Yu!
As the plot develops, "Fang Yu" feels the power of the symbiote, his body begins to change, and the special effects makeup on his face appears extremely realistic under the camera!

Fang Yu began to perform Venom's Awakening. His body suddenly became extremely agile, and the capture points under the motion capture suit flashed with his movements.

With the help of wire work, Fang Yu completed a leap with ease, as if he really had super powers!

But the members of the martial arts instructor team invited from Hong Kong looked at Fang Yu's exaggerated movements and opened their mouths wide.
Are you kidding me? Is this true?

Isn't this Venom himself?
Then let's not fish with wires. Why does it feel like fishing with wires is like restraining him?
"Crack!"

"Perfect! It's perfect!" The director led the applause, and all the Hollywood staff looked at Fang Yu in surprise.
Because Fang Yu's role was too smooth, and all the shots of him were shot in one go, and many of Venom's scenes required CG processing.

So the filming only lasted for seven days, and Fang Yu had already finished filming his final scenes.

In a dim apartment, Eddie Brock, played by Fang Yu, sits on a worn-out sofa.

He faces the bathroom mirror, which will become a key scene for Eddie's inner dialogue with Venom, showcasing the character's dual personality and psychological struggle.

This scene is the most difficult in the whole film, and it may even be the most difficult scene in this type of movie.

Because Fang Yu had to portray the male protagonist Eddie's rebellious mentality, and also accurately portray the arrogance of the alien creatures towards lower-level creatures after their bodies were controlled by venom.
It seems like one person plays two roles, but it is actually more difficult because in terms of the right to use the body, the protagonist Eddie and Venom are on each side.
It is very difficult to perform two completely different expressions on one face.
(By covering one side from the middle, you get two completely opposite expressions)
Of course, the original film used CG to handle such scenes, with the actor's face on one side and the CG-generated venom on the other.

Fang Yu didn't want to simply make a cool movie. Even though it would be difficult for such a movie to win an Oscar, he still wanted to give it a try!
In the studio, except for the necessary staff, everyone else kept quiet to ensure the quality of sound during filming. Director Ruben Fleischer stood next to the camera and watched the monitor attentively.

A high-definition camera was used to capture Fang Yu's performance, especially the subtle changes in his facial expressions.

The lighting technician used special lighting techniques to create dramatic light and shadow effects, highlighting the contradictions and struggles on Fang Yu's face.

Fang Yu sat on the sofa and began his monologue. His eyes switched back and forth in the mirror, sometimes showing Eddie's confusion and fear, and sometimes showing Venom's rage and provocation!
Fang Yu's performance is layered and he switches between Eddie and Venom perfectly!

His voice is sometimes low and sometimes sharp, showing two completely different personalities!

During the conversation, Fang Yu's facial expressions changed subtly and precisely, not even the tiniest muscle tremors were missed!
"That's enough! You alien son of a bitch! I won't listen to you!"

Fang Yu roared, and the other side of his face returned to normal.
Director Ruben Fleischer stared at the monitor with admiration in his eyes!
Fang Yu's performance exceeded his expectations, making him even more confident about the success of the film.

Tobey Maguire watched from the sidelines and was deeply attracted by Fang Yu's acting skills.

He couldn't help but whisper to the staff around him: "His performance is so shocking, the transition of emotions is so natural."

Olsen, who came to visit the set, was also moved by Fang Yu's performance.

She said to her assistant: "I've never seen such a performance. He completely became the character. It's incredible, my God."

When Fang Yu finished the last shot, the set burst into warm applause. Director Ruben Fleischer excitedly shouted: "Cut! Great, Stephen! Your performance is unparalleled! This is simply amazing!"

[Your performance shocked the whole audience! Acting skills +15!!!]

With a warm smile, Ao Mei walked up to Fang Yu and handed him a carefully crafted bouquet of barley flowers.

This bouquet of flowers not only symbolizes the joy of finishing a film, but also carries a superstitious tradition brought to Hollywood by Hong Kong filmmakers - the hope that the film will be a "big hit."

Fang Yu took the bouquet, took a deep breath, felt the aroma of barley, and his heart was filled with gratitude and satisfaction.

He looked around at the team members who had fought side by side with him these days, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that it was time to harvest another wave of proficiency.
Fang Yu nodded to all the staff present, and then announced loudly: "Thank you all for your hard work during this period of time. Tonight, I would like to personally prepare a dinner for you to express my gratitude!"

When the staff heard the news, they were surprised and excited!
They know that Fang Yu is not only a talented actor, but also a cooking expert!
This was already confirmed in the film "Paranormal Activity".

Foreign housewives have no resistance to handsome guys like Fang Yu who can cook noodles. In some housewives' circles, Fang Yu's cooking scene in "Paranormal Activity" is a precious video that many people play repeatedly.
In a Chinese restaurant near the set, Fang Yu put on an apron and a chef's hat, transforming himself into a professional chef.

Olsen and Tobey Maguire stood aside and watched Fang Yu's actions. They wanted to go forward to help, but Fang Yu didn't need a second person to help in the kitchen. He was a legion of chefs by himself!
Fang Yu was busy in the kitchen, and the chefs in the Chinese restaurant were all looking at Fang Yu's busy back with a look of surprise.

"Is Fang Yu really good at cooking? Is he just putting on a show?" A guy who prepared side dishes looked at Fang Yu in confusion.

"You are so stupid!" The chef directly used the stir-frying spoon to hit the side dish with a spoon, "It's a show. There is no photographer? No surveillance? The only thing that was filmed was the phone held by the front desk. No one recorded it. What kind of show is this? I think his cooking skills are good. He really knows how to cook."

Fang Yu didn't close the window and the people around him were talking. He prepared a series of mouth-watering Chinese delicacies.
Every dish is carefully prepared by him, showing his comprehensive cooking skills, and all of them are high-quality dishes!

Fang Yu personally kneads the dough and prepares the juicy meat filling. The steamed buns have thin skin and large fillings. When you take a bite, the gravy overflows!
We use premium lamb, paired with secret spices, and steam it until the meat is tender and fragrant!
Fang Yu rolls the noodles by hand. The noodles are chewy and elastic, and paired with a variety of toppings, they are really delicious!

The golden and crispy crust is filled with seasoned egg liquid, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with distinct layers!

Slowly cooked braised pork, sandwiched between perfectly toasted steamed buns, every bite is satisfying!
Fresh meat and vegetables are skewered on the grill, sprinkled with special barbecue seasoning, and grilled until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
The tofu absorbs the essence of the chicken and is extremely delicious when paired with the special dipping sauce!
The rich ingredients are cooked in a spicy and fragrant soup base, which makes people unable to stop!
Spicy rabbit head is spicy and delicious! Boiled beef is fragrant!
Every dish and every staple food, the moment it comes out of the pot, will inevitably bring exclamations from the Chinese restaurant staff, as well as starry eyes from Olsen and Tobey Maguire!

Ao Mei didn’t even have the good fortune to taste so many dishes cooked by Fang Yu himself, so today she finally got to visit the set!
With the last dish, Fushun tofu pudding, served on the plate, Fang Yu wiped his sweat and finished his dish!

"this!"

The Chinese restaurant chef couldn't believe it at first. He opened the door and went straight into the kitchen. Looking at the dishes on the table that had not yet lost their aroma, he was surprised and said, "This, this, this! This is incredible!"

This chef had been cooking stir-fried beef for half his life. But after coming to Los Angeles, he found that foreigners couldn't eat spicy dishes, so he had to learn American Chinese food, such as Zuo Zhongtang chicken and Mongolian beef, which are improved dishes that Chinese people have rarely seen.

Today, seeing Fang Yu’s big hand and all of them were such authentic Chinese food, the chef was moved to tears!
"Oh my God! I miss home! This, this! This is too real! Wuuwuwuwu!"

Fang Yu turned around and glanced at the chef. "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Ah? Ahhh! Wuuuuu! Wuuuuu!" The chef instantly burst into tears.
As the "Venom" filming crew entered one after another, the entire Chinese restaurant became lively.

Since the foreigners liked to eat separately, Fang Yu did not ask them to change their eating habits, so he divided each dish and staple food into small portions to ensure that everyone could eat all the dishes within their limited appetite.

In this way, he can gain proficiency to the greatest extent.
