China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

With director Quentin's shout of "action", the entire crew quickly moved into action, preparing for the next thrilling action scene.

The camera focuses on the spacious corridor of the luxury apartment, and the yellow bodyguards played by Viggo Mortensen and Fang Yu are walking along the corridor.

The two of them walked and talked, seemingly relaxed, but in fact there were undercurrents.

Viggo's character is a typical racist. Although he respects the black pianist Don Shirley on the surface, he is full of complaints in private.

At the corner of the corridor, he couldn't help but complain to Fang Yu: "That Tang Xueli, he really thinks he is a big shot, isn't he just a pianist?"

There was a flash of coldness in Fang Yu's eyes, but his expression remained calm.

His character is a hidden martial arts master who decides to respond to Viggo's racist remarks with action.

While Vigo was still chattering, Fang Yu suddenly took action!

He was as fast as lightning. He grabbed Viggo's shoulder and threw him out with a clean shoulder throw!
Viggo drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud!
The camera followed Viggo closely, capturing him covering his lower back with an expression of disbelief on his face!

He originally thought Fang Yu was just an ordinary bodyguard, but he didn't expect that he had such amazing strength and skills!
Director Quentin had extremely high requirements for this scene. He asked the action director to ensure that every movement was precise and realistic.

"Okay, that's it!" Quentin looked at the monitor and nodded with satisfaction, "Viggo, your expression is spot on, showing all the shock and pain! Stephen, your martial arts skills are still incredible!"

The crew members quickly came forward to check if Viggo was injured.

Fortunately, the professional martial arts instructor and stunt team ensured the safety of the scene, and Vigour only had some minor scratches.

"Let's do it again for the next scene!" Quentin shouted passionately, "This time we're going to shoot from a different angle to capture every detail!"

Before the fight started, the male protagonist Viggo Mortensen said to Fang Yu in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so strong! You can lift me up so easily!"

Fang Yu shrugged. "Why else would I be the bodyguard in this movie? And a yellow man at that?"

As fate would have it, the white male protagonist Viggo, the black male protagonist Don Xueli, and the supporting actor Stephen Fang played by Fang Yu, three people, were in the same car, embarking on a tortuous "adventure".

The end point of this journey is in the white area, and almost all the places along the way are white people's territories.

The Green Book in the film's title comes into full play here. The white male protagonist Viggo needs to use the contents of the booklet to find restaurants and hotels in every city that accommodate black people.

Fang Yu's script is very well written. He takes into account all the various problems that the three races, blacks, whites and yellows, will encounter on their journey. For example, although Tang Xueli is black, he went to a restaurant where blacks can dine.

But Fang Yu and the white driver were discriminated against by black people here, forming an infinite cycle.

In particular, Fang Yu also specially described the plot design in which black people had a more unacceptable and incomprehensible attitude towards his yellow skin, expressing the reality that although black people are the objects of discrimination, they also discriminate against others, bringing the fundamental inferiority of this race to the table.

But because this is a road movie that speaks for black people, even if some scenes reveal the dark side of black people, if you resist, then you are just a white person in black skin.

The camera moves slowly forward, and Quentin-style dramatic tension quietly brews in this black restaurant.

The restaurant was dimly lit, filled with smoke, and jazz music filled the air, creating a depressing yet warm atmosphere.

The yellow bodyguard played by Fang Yu, dressed in a black suit, with an expressionless face and vigilant eyes, follows Tang Xueli and Vigour.

Viggo was wearing a chauffeur uniform, his blond hair neatly combed, and an uneasy smile on his face.

The appearance of the three people immediately broke the harmony of the restaurant and attracted everyone's attention.

Black pianist Don Xueli, dressed in an elegant suit and with extraordinary temperament, felt unprecedented isolation under these strange gazes.

His steps were firm, but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

His expression grew even darker as he noticed the jeers and whispers around him.

"Hey, look over there, a white man, a yellow man, and a black man, what kind of combination is this?" A drunk black man mocked loudly, causing laughter from the people around him.

Tang Xueli stopped, turned around and faced the crowd that was laughing at him.

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, but more of it was anger.

His voice echoed in the restaurant, clear and powerful: "This is my driver, Mr. Viggo Mortensen, and this is my bodyguard, Mr. Stephen Fang. They are my colleagues and my partners."

However, such an explanation did not quell the ridicule, but instead aroused even sharper ridicule.

"It's funny that slaves also have slaves." A drunken voice sounded again, causing even greater laughter.

There was a cold flash in Fang Yu's eyes, and he clenched his hands slightly, but quickly loosened them.

Viggo, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed, and he adjusted his hat uncomfortably, trying to ease the tense atmosphere with a smile.

Tang Xueli took a deep breath. He knew that he had to fight back against the ridicule in his own way.

He turned to the piano, sat down, and placed his hands lightly on the keys.

As the first note sounded, the restaurant gradually became quiet and all eyes were focused on him again.

His performance was full of power and emotion, and every note seemed to be telling his story, his dream, and his perseverance.

Music is used to influence people, but when Don Xueli finished playing the piano, these blacks shouted again:
"A slave using a piano is a joke!"

"The shop owner's wife is white. Although I really want to sleep with her, this piano is really an eyesore! I never thought it would be played by a black man today. What a huge irony, Nico!"

In Quentin's films, tense confrontations and sudden action scenes are indispensable elements.

The bodyguard played by Fang Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to respond to the rude ridicule with action!
Just as the laughter in the restaurant became more and more harsh, Fang Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

His steps were steady and swift as he moved toward the drunken blacks who were making the loudest noises.

His movements were swift and precise. He grabbed a drunk man's arm with one hand and twisted it gently, making the man unable to scream in pain!
The whole restaurant suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Yu!

The camera switches, and the atmosphere in the restaurant has become extremely tense!
Fang Yu's sudden action provoked the crowd who were originally mocking him. Some strong black men began to gather around him and the situation was about to break out.

Fang Yu stood in place, looking around calmly!

His body sank slightly, preparing for the coming impact.

Suddenly, a strong man rushed over with a punch, Fang Yu quickly dodged and hit backhand, knocking the man to the ground. Then, more strong men joined the fight!
Fang Yu's movements were swift and precise, and every strike hit the opponent's vital points!

His martial arts skills were fully demonstrated at this moment, and every attack was accurate!

Viggo and Don Xueli were also forced into the melee.

Although Viggo was not a thug, he showed amazing courage in the emergency. He grabbed a bench and swung it hard, trying to protect himself and Don Xueli.

Although Tang Xueli was unarmed, he was agile and dodged the opponent's attacks.

In the chaos, the back of his hand was accidentally scratched, but he didn't seem to care. Instead, he threw himself into the battle with even greater excitement.

The fight intensified, Fang Yu suddenly grabbed a wine bottle and threw it at the crowd. The bottle drew an arc in the air and hit a strong man's head accurately, making a crisp cracking sound.

This action shocked the others and bought the three people precious time to escape.

Under Fang Yu's cover, the three quickly rushed out of the restaurant and jumped into Vigo's car.

There was a trace of pain on Weiguo's face, and he was hit on the back by a bench, but he quickly started the car and fled the scene with Tang Xueli and Fang Yu.

In the car, Tang Xueli suddenly burst into laughter, her voice loud and contagious.

Viggo was a little confused, thinking that Tang Xueli lost control of her emotions because of her injured hand, but Tang Xueli shook her head and explained: "I like this crazy, desperate feeling! Stephen Fang was right to act just now, and I can't stand the abuse!"

Weiguo and Fang Yu looked at each other, and the laughter of the three echoed in the car. Although they had just experienced a melee, the tacit understanding and friendship between them seemed to be even deeper.
On the set, director Quentin nodded with satisfaction behind the monitor.

He knew that the scene would become a memorable climax in the film and could be used in editing the trailer.

------

With the perfect ending of the last scene, Fang Yu, as usual, used the mysterious power of the East to launch a unique Chinese-style wrap-up ceremony, bringing this film, which will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, to a perfect end.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the brightly colored couplet, with red background and golden characters written in powerful strokes. The foreigners were so amazed that their cell phones kept clicking.

"This is called a couplet, which foreshadows the good fortune of the future prosperity of this play," Fang Yu explained.

Immediately afterwards, a long string of firecrackers was lit, and the sound was deafening.

"I won't explain the meaning of this. You should see it often when you go to Chinatown."

Fang Yu and Quentin came to the altar and cut the ribbon together.

Fang Yu also carefully prepared a red envelope. Although the amount in it was "only" one hundred US dollars, this thoughtfulness was more precious than any verbal praise.

Every foreigner in the crew who received a red envelope had a happy smile on his face.

They always get paid based on how much they work, so when have they ever received such a small surprise? Everyone praised Stephen for his generosity.

You know, there are at least a hundred people in the film crew, and one hundred dollars per person is not a small amount of money.

The champagne was opened, bubbles overflowed, and everyone raised their glasses to drink together.

"Thank you Stephen! Thank you Director Quentin!"

The staff cheered collectively.

Fang Yu personally gave the ear of barley to Quentin.

The wrap-up ceremony is over.

After the group photo was taken, Quentin was amazed.

"It's really interesting! I learned something again!"

Fang Yu shrugged, "One word of awesomeness is enough to make you famous. Don't learn it. If you learn it again, we will steal it."

Quentin laughed, "New Dollar!"

"Green Book", the dark horse of the screen, couldn't wait to rush to the Oscar selection backstage as soon as it was completed.

But this is not enough.

Fang Yu also plans to show it at the three major international film festivals: Berlin, Venice, and Cannes. He wants to use this film to prove that he can not only make popcorn movies, but also some literary and artistic ones.

However, due to time constraints, he will not be able to catch up this year. Just like "Parasite", he will have to wait until next year to have any news.

If it were earlier, "The Revenant" plus "Green Book" and "Parasite" would have won three Oscars. With these three films, Fang Yu could have won all the famous international awards in one year.
If the Oscars gave him three movies to participate in the selection at the same time, and The Revenant and Parasite also nominated him for Best Actor, then he would definitely win the Best Actor award.
Of course, some of it is unrealistic.

In addition to the selection, Fang Yu also has to consider the release of this film.

The process for old rice is relatively simple, and the main thing is to determine the grade.

The domestic review process is very complicated, and there are a lot of things to think about behind it.

Simply put, a movie must be registered first, and then sent for review after filming. If it does not meet the requirements, it must be revised and then reviewed again until it passes.

Moreover, he has to show the film to relevant people before submitting it to the three major awards and the Oscars for selection. Otherwise, it would be a violation and would cause a lot of trouble.

Many movies fell into this trap in the past, such as Wang Baoqiang's "Blind Shaft". The director sent the film to the international market right after it was made, without even thinking about things like release and box office. As a result, although it received some good reviews internationally, the director was banned from filming for many years. It is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Speaking of Lao Mi's censorship, there are children among the people on the ratings committee.

Especially for ordinary classification committee members, the children must be between 5 and 17 years old.

The opinions of these children are very important. If they feel that the movie is not suitable for children, it will be labeled and children over this age group in the theater will not be able to watch the movie.

In China, it is more metaphysical.

Fang Yu didn't know whether his Green Book would pass review. He had added many issues of discrimination against the yellow race compared to the original film, and he didn't know what the domestic opinion would be.

The good thing is that Fang Yu handed the film over to the two Mr. Wangs to work on, which saved him a lot of trouble. (End of this chapter)
