Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 410-Don’t interrupt my rhythm

"Josephine, please pay attention to your expression and the way you look at Chen. Your character only has a vague affection for Chen's character." Director Leitch tapped his chest.

"And liking does not mean admiration. Although the character you play is very playful in private, he is by no means a nympho or a bitch." Director Leitch looked through the character for deconstruction.

He, the casting director, the producer, the screenwriting team, and the original author all wrote background stories for the characters involved in the film, establishing a complete interpersonal context for the film.

This is the key factor in David Leitch's work style and his rapid rise to become a first-line commercial director and producer in Hollywood. He regards pre-production work as extremely important.

On the contrary, the solid and meticulous framework means that Director Leitch never has a moment of inspiration. His on-the-spot adjustments always rely on the set rules and regulations to make repairs.

So much so that his directing ability has been labeled by film critics as being too steady, lacking in explosive points, and lacking in depth, so he is only a first-line commercial film director.

In fact, Chen Yu also felt that this old man was a bit subtle in playing metaphors and sarcasm, and was not as pungent and sharp as his good friend Chad Starsky.

"Don't get distracted, Chen. We'll reshoot this sequence in five minutes." Director Leitch motioned for Chen Yu and Josephine to come over and eat some fruit to replenish their energy.

Director Leitch asked Sun Nuo, the film's action director and stunt coordinator, to explain to Chen Yu and Josephine the overall process and key points of the action scenes.

Sun Nuo is a Chinese-American who previously played for Zhenjiaban for four years. His status in the martial arts industry in the European and American film and television circles is at least two levels lower than Stephen Ouyang.

In addition, Leitch was originally a veteran who started his career as a stuntman and action double, which resulted in Sun Nuo being able to only act as an action director in the drama rather than being able to direct the camera.

"The key element of this fight scene is cleanliness. The fighting method is mainly close combat with flying plates and throwing cups. Josephine is mainly responsible for enriching the colors."

Sun Nuo said the word "vase" very euphemistically, and Josephine nodded to express her understanding. In fact, she didn't want to jump around with Chen Yu and punish the bad guys with fists and kicks.

In the film "Deadpool II: I Love My Family", Reynolds, Chen Yu and Connor have different fighting styles, and all three have their own unique characteristics and moves.

Reynolds' Deadpool is a bit more like Jackie Chan's routine, with some funny elements added into the fights to create a smart warrior-type character.

The rogue lawyer played by Chen Yu is outstandingly sinister and ruthless. He is fierce and ruthless and pays attention to the efficiency of killing and self-preservation.

The gardener played by Connor shows bravery and violence, and uses throwing and throwing techniques in traditional sumo wrestling as common attack methods.

In this way, there are obvious differences between the three people in the fight scenes, which can make the audience have a deeper and longer-lasting memory of them.

The bustling men and women in the bar are composed of crew members, fans of "Deadpool", fans of Chen Yu, Reynolds, Connor and boxing fans.

They (they) all perform on a voluntary basis. Of course, everyone is free to take drinks and snacks in the bar, but the filming time was not good enough for everyone to get excited.

It is just 8:26 in the morning, but Director Leitch wants everyone to enter the state of excitement at midnight. Although the environment is simulated very well, it cannot fool the biological clock.

The bar at the moment was more like an open-air market, with people chatting and joking in small groups. The atmosphere was lively but not boring enough.

The reason why I didn't go to the bar to actually shoot at night was not because I was worried about increasing the cost, but because of safety considerations. Who knows if there would be some idiot taking drugs in front of the camera.

Once a similar scene appears that cannot be solved by reshooting or deleting, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Vancouver Police Department guarantee that they will come one after another to delay the filming work.

Therefore, after comprehensively summarizing various situations, director Leitch and the producer believed that they should avoid the messy and difficult-to-control real bars and create a clean environment.

"Let the girls dress cooler, we need to arouse the atmosphere of the scene." Assistant director Alessiya Maslechko trotted backstage to urge the lead dancer.

The five girls looked at each other's outfits, and finally decided to take off their sexy underwear and wear only a pair of bra stickers. The lace panties and stockings were also replaced with G-strings.

To be honest, these five girls were still tired and sleepy at around eight o'clock in the morning.

To this end, they conducted nearly 20 minutes of warm-up activities backstage to prevent strains and sprains.

When they turned to the front of the stage, the bar was silent for five seconds and then erupted into warm applause, shouts and whistles.

"Are you sure that the real ages of these five girls are over sixteen?" Josephine, who was just twenty, took Chen Yu's arm, put her head towards his ear and asked loudly.

Chen Yu immediately signaled to the assistant director Alessiya Maslechko to come over, and then conveyed Josephine's words to him with tired and sluggish eyes. Maslechko rubbed his face hard to cheer himself up and then said that all the identity information was fine, and he did not dare to mess around with things that would tarnish the reputation of himself and the crew.

Then he called up the insurance information of the five girls from the tablet and showed it to Chen Yu and Josephine for a closer look. This was definitely not two people's meddling. If something went wrong, everyone would be responsible.

To be honest, Maslechko really likes how cautious his colleagues are.

"Everyone, please note that the filming will begin in five minutes." Director Leitch, holding a loudspeaker in hand, ran past the three of them and headed towards the monitor.

Chen Yu took advantage of this gap and once again carefully instructed the five Swedish martial artists on Josephine's specific positioning route during the fight scene.

They didn't want Josephine to accidentally break into the killing formation and get accidentally injured.

When the five Swedish martial arts masters fought against world-class boxing champion Chen Yu, they were unable to distract him and stay in vain.

Chen Yu and they both had to take full action to ensure each other's safety.

Otherwise, being timid will not only affect the shooting effect, but also easily hurt others and yourself. The more scrupulous you are, the more likely it is to cause an accident.

Chen Yu and Josephine sat down at the soft sofa booth in the southeast corner of the bar, and the five Swedish martial arts masters immediately gave a thumbs up to the host.

"You're not welcome here." The music was so loud and the crowd around him was so noisy that Chen Yu could only see a martial artist's mouth moving but couldn't hear what he said.

The on-site sound engineer, Miss Timothy, took off her headphones and shook her head at Chen Yu and Director Leitch. She needed the five Swedish martial artists to be closer to the stage to work effectively.

As a result, the camera position and lighting of this set of shots had to be re-planned and adjusted.

"Josephine and I walked to the dance floor so we could just move the camera and light with our hands."

Chen Yu shouted in Director Leitch's ear that Chen Yu's plan eliminated the need to move the vertical lights used to light the deck, and there was no need to extend the camera track.

But as mentioned before, Director Leitch never breaks the preset rules.

Since the script states that Chen Yu and Josephine are sitting on the card table, the martial artist must adjust their positions.

Because the martial artist in the script is [walking toward Chen and the blackmailed girl with a cautious and serious look], the martial artist can move, but Chen Yu and Josephine must sit still.

Chen Yu blocked Josephine, who was still trying to persuade, behind him, and then asked the stage manager Mr. Bates to get two glasses of peach juice with three cubes of ice.

"Don't try to convince a director or screenwriter who has already made up his mind, understand? Unless that person is your relative, boyfriend, or bed partner." Chen Yu pushed the cookie to Josephine.

The vegetable biscuits on the plate were brought by Chen Yu himself.

It was well received by all the cast and crew.

After rearranging the venue, Chen Yu and Josephine took their seats again, and the five Swedish martial arts masters also stepped onto the camera landmarks.

"This is not welcome, sir. Please don't make things difficult for me, okay?" The short-haired man pulled off his tie and wrapped it around his hand, bowing slightly to Chen Yu.

The other four security guards fanned out to guard the route from the booth to the dance floor and then to the office on the second floor.

Josephine pursed her plump lips and sat down obediently. She knew that her father's $50,000 in legal fees would be used as it should.

Chen Yu picked up the glass ashtray and weighed it, but what was particularly embarrassing was that he failed to catch it and fell to the ground.

In fact, this mistake did not affect the performance, and Director Leitch did not stop the scene. He thought it was a deliberate design by Chen Yu.

But Josephine's charming smile interrupted Chen Yu's rhythm.
