Full-time actor

Chapter 489 [54] New movie! New challenge!

"Did you really agree to Yilang to act in Chen Yu's new film?"

Inside the house, Zhou Yun came to the study room carrying some fruits and asked Jiang Wen who was reading a script.

“Hmm? …Ah!”

Jiang Wen was a little slow to react. He opened his mouth and bit off a piece of watermelon that Zhou Yun had poked with a toothpick. After swallowing it, he couldn't help but curse, "What a lousy script Chen Yu wrote. This little girl doesn't even have a father!"

"Really? So outrageous?!"

Zhou Yun smiled at the side, leaning on Jiang Wen's shoulder and looking at the script on the computer. While feeding him, he said, "Let me see it after you finish reading it!"

"What the hell, it's just a commercial action movie that highlights him as the leading male character!"

Jiang Wen lost interest in reading the script. After eating some watermelon and spitting out the seeds, he called Chen Yu directly.

"Well, what do you mean?"

Chen Yu answered the phone quickly, and Jiang Wen immediately mocked him: "What kind of crappy script did you write?"

"I don't agree, change it quickly, you can even change it to Yilang's dad!"

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yu was amused when he heard this: "What's the use if you don't agree? Are you Yilang's guardian now? His guardian has agreed!"

"fart!"

Jiang Wen felt it was necessary to educate this illiterate person about custody rights: "When parents divorce and the child is raised by the woman, the father still has custody of the child. Do you understand?"

"Oh, you're underage, right?"

Chen Yu had forgotten about this, but still said with a smile: "Then you can talk to your ex-wife. Sandrine and Yilang are quite satisfied with the script anyway. I asked my wife to tell them the general plot!"

"Of course they agreed!"

The identity of father is currently toxic to both of them.

"So shouldn't you reflect on this?"

"You know what Sandrine said, she said Yilang was acting in his true colors..."

"I give a f**k!"

Jiang Wen was really angry now: "Did she really say that?"

"That's probably what I mean. As long as you understand it, it's fine!"

"..."

Jiang Wen was so angry that he laughed. He basically knew what nonsense Sandrine would say after reading the script, that he, as a father, was dispensable.

"Shit, can you blame me for this?"

"She ran off to Paris right after she gave birth. I hired a confinement nanny to help her. She wanted to have cold drinks and take a bath. The nanny's persuasion was ineffective, so she came to complain to me. I discussed it with her and she scolded me!"

"My mother doesn't even like to serve her, she just gives me a cold shoulder!"

"I finally managed to hold her down for two months, and now she wants to go teach, teaching French people Chinese. She has only a few students, and she told me that she, a female PhD, has to cook, wash and serve me at home every day..."

"She has the right to work, I can't interfere with her!"

"Is it wrong for me to interfere and let her feel at ease?"

"..."

Chen Yu's words might have really hit Jiang Wen's G-spot. Maybe he was so sad about this matter that he just vented it violently on the phone. By the end, Chen Yu felt like he was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, now you're not relieved?"

"My new sister-in-law is so nice. She pours you wine, lights your cigarettes, and warms your bed. Isn't that what you need?"

"roll!"

Jiang Wen covered her face, but she didn't really cry. She just felt very aggrieved!
Even his brother mocked him, saying, "Is this a married man? He lives like a homeless person."

The most important thing is that even if the two of them don't live together, they will quarrel as soon as they call each other, and it is endless. During this period, Jiang Wen was tortured to the point of suffering from neurasthenia. In addition, his career was not going well and he was banned by the Film Bureau for 5 years. Who could be happy?

My mother's marriage and career are not going well, and he also hopes that someone can comfort him.

At this time, Zhou Yun appeared in his life, and it was natural for the two of them to be together.

"Maintaining the father-daughter relationship is the real thing!"

"Look, brother, I'm creating opportunities for you, don't you? Look at her more often? If not, come to the crew and keep an eye on her..."

Chen Yu also knew that Jiang Wen had been unhappy in recent years, so after a few words, Jiang Wen compromised: "Is your script inspired by "Léon: The Professional"? "

"Almost. Because they are not blood relatives, there is a sense of contrast. But when I was writing this script, I did write another version, which is what you said about the father saving his daughter..."

“Then why don’t you set it that way?”

"Just let me act!"

Jiang Wen was happy when he heard this: "Change it quickly!"

He is sure to be the leading male role. If his daughter plays the leading female role, won’t he be very happy?

"Even if I give it to you to act, you can't act well. Can you fight?"

"Besides, even if you are willing, Yilang may not agree. You have to ask for her opinion. Take your time, brother. The father-daughter relationship is not so easy to maintain. Yifei and his father have only just begun to break the ice..."

Jiang Wen knew something about Liu Yifei's matter.

"Hey, okay, I'll listen to you. You're pretty good at this, right?"

"Nonsense, my wife is in this situation, how could I not know?"

"The child certainly can't understand it now, but when she grows up, she will slowly begin to understand why you divorced and begin to understand you..."

"Oh, right!"

Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Cheng Long and Yi Fei are planning to film this father-daughter rescue script. You don't have a chance!"

“I don’t want to act yet!”

Jiang Wen said unhappily, then asked, "When will you join the group?"

"Sandrine and Yilang will be on the flight tomorrow with us!" "Would you like to come and see us off?"

"You're really a triathlete. Didn't you just finish filming a drama?"

"What a hard work!"

Jiang Wen didn't understand Chen Yu's workaholic character, but if he wasn't like that, he wouldn't have become famous all over Asia in just three years; everything was really the result of his own hard work, and of course luck also blessed him.

But the premise of luck is also the result of one’s own step-by-step efforts.

Many people fail to seize opportunities!
"Send me the time and I'll come and see them off tomorrow!"

"Don't tell them..."

Jiang Wen was caring for him, and Chen Yu shook his head: "Okay, father's love is like a mountain!"

"Hey, that's not right. I only have one precious daughter..."

"Tsk!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but speak up, but he rarely refrained from making sarcastic remarks. He hung up the phone after chatting for a while.

Zhou Yun listened to the whole process, looked at Jiang Wen who put down his phone, and continued to feed him.

"I...what..."

Jiang Wen opened his mouth and hesitated. Zhou Yun glanced at him and said, "Okay, if you want to go, just go."

Can she still stop it?
"No, I want to... go with you!"

"what about me?"

Zhou Yun looked at him straight in the eyes. Jiang Wen scratched his head and said, "Then... let's go together?"

"forget it!"

"After you send them off tomorrow, we'll go in two days. I won't bother you. Just stroll around Hong Kong. You should go to the crew. I don't want to run into them..."

Zhou Yun still felt guilty in her heart. After all, if this matter got out, it would be bad for her reputation.

No matter what, it was the mistress who took over.

"Thank you, my wife, for your understanding!"

Jiang Wen hugged Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun rolled her eyes at him and sighed helplessly.

……

On the other hand, after Chen Yu got the leading female role, she actually focused her heart and soul on this new movie.

Chen Yu seems to be particularly concerned about "Mission: Impossible - Rise of the Jedi". Apart from the fact that this is a commercial action blockbuster in which he serves as the lead actor, investor, and male protagonist, as well as screenwriter, producer, etc., he actually has another position - action director.

This movie was quite challenging for Chen Yu. It was more difficult than "Departures" and "House of Flying Daggers".

The Undertaker was a performance, House of Flying Daggers was about pushing one's limits, and now, it's about complete dominance.

Many people say that the reason why Jet Li injured himself during filming was because he was not an action or martial arts instructor; on the other hand, Zhen Zidan, Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and even Wu Jing, etc., all personally participated in the action design.

Because only you can understand your own body and what movements you can perform.

Jet Li is more focused on challenging some difficult moves set by the martial arts instructor.

This is not to say that Chen Yu couldn't find a good action director for his new film; rather, Chen Yu really wanted to try to make a breakthrough on his own.

If it really doesn't work, three of the five famous martial arts directors in the industry, Yuan Heping, Zhen Zidan and Hong Jingbao, can still be found; they just need to arrange their schedules, as Jackie Chan and Jordan Chan are not available, as one is filming a new movie "Escape Plan" and the other is currently with Zhang Yimou.

Chen Yu wanted to try it himself first, so at the moment, he was imagining the scenes from "The Man from Lone Ranger" that he had watched in his previous life, and on the drawing paper in front of him were sketches of the actions.

As a reborn person, he still has great advantages as a martial arts director.

Even the actions he saw in his previous life could be slowly decomposed frame by frame in his mind; he had watched this film several times, and to be honest, the fighting scenes in it were average, but there were also some good points, especially the last dagger and short knife fight; Chen Yu wanted to retain these good points and add Chinese Kung Fu.

Especially in some wonderful action movies seen in later generations, the classic fighting scenes in them were integrated into them; then, a new type of fighting moves was created.

The reason why Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing stood out in later generations is that their fighting styles were not confined to the past and they created two original schools. Although martial arts instructors such as Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong are very powerful, most of them are based on ancient costumes and martial arts elements.

Although there are modern fighting styles, and the old masters are also very good at them, the fighting concept that Chen Yu wants to use in this film is sharp and straightforward.

It's the feeling of close combat.

In this regard, Hong Jingbao and others did a very good job in later generations.

For example, the "SPL" series, the "John Wick" series... these are the styles of Hong Jingbao and Zhen Zidan's martial arts directors.

Chen Hu, the martial arts director of "John Wick", is also a member of the Zhen Clan.

Like the most classic street fighting scene in "SPL", which was created by Zhen Zidan, it used a dagger and SAP, which is a tactical telescopic baton, which is a commonly used cold weapon in modern times.

The fighting scene in this part is very famous, and the best performance in it is actually Wu Jing.

rustling --

Chen Yu quickly sketched out the fighting scenes for the first plot on the drawing in front of him.

In my mind, there is this scene from my previous life. This scene in "The Man from Lone Ranger" does not contain any fighting scenes.

One reason is that the protagonist Won Bin has no martial arts foundation. Although he has received three months of training, he is not even at the entry level. The second reason is that Koreans do not have any great martial arts directors, so it is impossible for them to design so many scenes.

So in this section, the director’s performance method is very simple.

Won Bin made his move, and the next scene showed a shattered glass window, showing how fast and ruthless the protagonist's move was, and how badly the villain was injured.

Although the purpose was achieved and the audience enjoyed the show, it lacked the satisfying process of revenge and the action tension of the movie.

Of course, Chen Yu wanted to show the exact moment of the attack during this shoot.

Even if there are only a few seconds of fighting scenes, the movie will be more exciting.

"It only takes a moment..."

"But what does it mean to be cool?"

Chen Yu imagined countless action scenes from his past life, copying them crazily...
