Chapter 344 Another big project

Hama said this because the next scene shows John Lee, played by Huang Baiyou, attending his wife's funeral, where he said nothing.

Then John Lee had a few words with Makoku, played by Mitkin. The scene was very simple, but Hama was curious about what it was like to play opposite Huang Baiyou.

The shooting started, first the performance camera slowly pushed -

Huang Baiyou held a black umbrella and wore a black suit. He stared ahead with a solemn expression, watching the coffin fall.

The hand holding the umbrella handle did not shake, and his expression did not change much, but his whole person was not calm at all, because Huang Baiyou's eyes...

In comics terms, it’s called: losing the highlight.

"My condolences." Makoku, played by Mitkin, was both a rival and an old friend, so he participated in the burial.

Mitkin asked with concern: "How are you?"

"I've been asking myself 'Why her'." Huang Baiyou's voice was much lower than before.

"Fate is very twists and turns." Mitkin wanted to comfort his friend, but Huang Baiyou's dead eyes made his voice lower. "There will always be days like this in life."

"Are you sure?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"..." Mitkin was speechless, and his lines were instantly forgotten.

The director's voice stopped, and Mitkin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, gentlemen."

"I'm sorry, Standing," Mitkin said.

Huang Baiyou asked, "Is it because I suddenly forgot my lines because of my external emotions?"

Mitkin wanted to say categorically that he could not influence me, but unfortunately he was.

John Lee's beloved died, and his grief and anger expanded outwards irregularly.

The anger is not directed at anyone, just like what the line says, "Why her?" Why is she suddenly suffering from a terminal illness, John Lee is asking God.

"You can empathize with the emotions of John Lee's character." Huang Bai said.

"What?" Mitkin didn't understand.

"In the character design of your character Ma Keku, there can be one where your daughter also died in an accident." Huang Bai said.

Does this work?Mitkin did not understand the inexplicable addition of a setting that was not shown in the script at all.

"You can try." Huang Baiyou saw the doubt in the other person's eyes.

Just set up an accident for your daughter. After all, Mitkin, who is in his forties, also has an illegitimate daughter, silently said to himself.

The shooting continued for the second time.

The lines in this play went well, and the sadness and hostility exuded by John Lee, played by Huang Baiyou, swept over him, and Mitkin caught it.

Because, "My daughter also died in an accident. Of course I understand how you feel now." Such psychological activities support the performance.

Even the consoling line at the end, Mitkin said it sincerely, "Don't blame yourself."

"What the hell are you doing here, Mako Ku."

"I'm just here to care about my good friend." Marco Cool, played by Mitkin, said, "Goodbye, John."

It ended successfully, and Mitkin discovered that just one word from this Chinese actor could make him perform better.

Is it so powerful?Mitkin was shocked to his heart.

"It's actually better to shoot this scene when the sun is shining." Huang Baiyou said to Wu Xiaoxiao.

"Isn't the continuous rain more in line with the sad melody?" Wu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.Huang Baiyou said: "For me, weather is not required to express the character's emotions. On the contrary, the visibility of the weather is better, which is more suitable for me."

"Oh oh oh, can I understand that Brother Huang's grade is better?" Wu Xiaoxiao said.

"You can't say that." Huang Baiyou smiled, "Although it is the truth, we still have to keep a low profile."

Huang Baiyou still feels relatively relaxed in front of acquaintances.

In another green room.

"How is it?" Hama touched Mitkin.

"I don't know how to describe him. If I say I will never lose my love, he will yell or make other bigger actions." Mitkin said, "But his actions are too small. It feels like he can express himself at a small cost." It brings out the character’s grief.”

"But his performance just now was very real." Hama said, "My relative passed away, and I went to the funeral and it felt like this."

"Just like ordinary people, don't you feel like a killer? John Lee is a super killer." Mitkin said.

"Isn't the super killer a human?" Hama suddenly asked seriously, leaving Mitkin confused.

Filming continued.

The filming of "John Wick" didn't encounter any obstacles, which is fortunate.Producer Qin Xing suddenly finished filming one day and asked Huang Baiyou to have something to eat.

The location is a Western restaurant in New York.

It was just two people, which was relatively rare. After all, Tan Xing was not Simmons.

"Brother Qin, if you have something to do tonight, you can tell me directly. I'm seventy percent full after eating." Huang Baiyou asked midway through the meal.

"Tonight is the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's normal for me to treat you to a meal." Tan Xing said.

"That's normal." Huang Baiyou nodded, "So what is Brother Tan doing tonight?"

Last night was New Year's Eve. We were celebrating the New Year in a foreign land. Huang Baiyou, Wu Xiaoxiao, Caiyun and Gu Zuojie celebrated the New Year together.

Gu Zuojie's name may be unfamiliar. He was Huang Baiyou's driver and taught him how to stand in a military posture.Even though Uncle Gu doesn't have an American driver's license, he can still act as a half-bodyguard as he is a veteran when traveling.

The four of us had a warm New Year's Eve, although the meal was not as good as this one.

"I have a big project in hand." Tan Xing said, "I want you to participate."

Isn't "John Wick" still filming?There are new projects, and we really won’t stop for a moment.

"How much investment?" Huang Baiyou asked casually.

"1.5 million US dollars to restart filming "Batman."" Tan Xing cut the steak in front of him. He would cut the beef into pieces before eating.

"?" Huang Baiyou was silent for two seconds before speaking, "Are you talking about the Batman I know?"

"Yes." Qin Xing said, "There is only Batman. Unfortunately, I only got the copyright to film one work."

What a pity. Huang Baiyou is even more curious, "Brother Qin, how did you get the copyright to Batman? This comic should be very popular in Europe and the United States."

"DC is like this steak, which was cut into pieces. I found an opportunity and got one piece." Qin Xing used the food on the plate to allude to DC who was in a very bad situation.

DC went bankrupt and was cannibalized by major Hollywood film and television companies. Huang Baiyou had heard a little bit about this, and Paramount obtained the rights to Green Lantern and part of the Justice League.

But no matter what, it was still a banquet for Hollywood giants. In what capacity did Tan Xing squeeze in?
We can still get Batman, is there really someone up there?
"A total of nine films have been filmed on "Batman" since its inception, and three films were filmed in the last 11 years, all of which suffered losses, so the remake copyright is not as precious as you think."

Qin Xing explained slowly, "I'm only qualified to remake one film. If it gets good results, they can also participate in the development of the second one, because I don't have the copyright. If the results are bad..."

The following words need not be said, they are self-evident.
