Chapter 463: Slow filming progress, disappointing Hollywood invitation

"I'm so tired today, I finally started filming my war scene. The Changbanpo scene is really difficult to shoot! Wearing a cloak, holding a long gun, and riding a white horse. Fortunately, I have practiced, and I have also specially practiced equestrianism and marksmanship. Otherwise, it will definitely be ng all the time!"

"It's dangerous, it's really dangerous today, I almost died, a arrow shot directly at my forehead, at the critical moment, the prop gun in my hand picked it away, this ancient battlefield is really dangerous! I dare not Imagine how frightening it would be if there were arrows flying in at any time! No wonder the ancient generals all died young, I’m afraid that every dream is filled with arrows?”

"My God, war scenes are really hard to shoot! The scene is chaotic, the progress is horribly slow, there are always mistakes, and the patience is worn out!"

……

Brother Xiaosa has been fighting continuously for more than a month since joining the film crew, but what is the achievement of this month?It's very simple, he is still fighting hard in Cao Jun, and he hasn't even seen 'Mrs. It took more than half a year to shoot from the beginning of summer to winter). .

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with his performance. Whether it was a martial arts drama or a literary drama with dialogues, he almost never let Wu Yusen worry too much. At most, he performed very well after a few ng.

After all, this is just a commercial film, not a literary film that digs deep into the inner drama of the characters. As long as the plot is smooth and the action scenes are performed well, then the director will not pursue too much too harshly.

However, the problem is that Changbanpo's war drama is a group drama!This is not two martial arts masters fighting, and then you come and go, it is easy to get it done.

Tang Xiaosa's Zhao Yun is fine, but the other actors, even the ones playing Cao Bing, often make mistakes.

Either there was a joke, or a small supporting role made a mistake, and there were even dangerous scenes.

For example, a dragon stabbed Zhao Yun with a spear, and Zhao Yun would use the long spear in his hand to sweep away all of them, and then he would lie on the horse's back and let the horse under his crotch carry him to a safe place, and then he would sweep the spear across. All the little soldiers who came up to attack the horses were swept down, and then a general Cao came flying, and Zhao Yun stabbed him to death under the horses.

This is how the director talks about the play, and it seems to be very simple, but in fact it is not easy at all to do it.

Because Yuan Kui, the action director of the movie, still needs to teach everyone how to do each action. As soon as his spear touched them, they all had to spit out the tomato sauce in their mouths, and at the same time, they were dragged upside down by Wia.

This is not the most difficult part, but what is really troublesome is that when Zhao Yun rode his horse to charge, there were still dead bodies lying everywhere on the ground played by the actors!If one is not careful, and the horse's hoof steps on anyone at random, then the problem will be serious, at least it will break a bone.

With these factors in place, the shooting progress here is naturally slow, it’s like squeezing toothpaste. At the slowest time, only two or three shots were shot in a week, and the rest of the time is constantly ng, putting Director Wu Yusen's hair has turned gray.

No way, there are so many people in the crew!People eat horse chews, and every day of delay will cost an extra 10 RMB. This price is really too high. Can a director be in a hurry?

In desperation, Wu Yusen had no choice but to order separate filming, divide the whole play into several parts, and hand over some less important literary plays to the control of several assistant directors, while he personally watched the big play of Changbanpo , even if it was ground, he was determined to grind it out.

It was also at this time that he was glad that his choice was right, because as one of the absolute protagonists in this scene, Tang Xiaosa, a person with real kung fu, really saved him a lot of time and energy. Actions, any idea, as long as Yuan Kui can make it, there is no need to say it twice, he can do it easily, and the quality can be guaranteed, which makes the martial artists of the whole crew all admire.

Yuan Kui sighed countless times: "Chisa boy, you really should take the route of kung fu superstars. Now Aaron and Li Lianjie are almost unable to beat them. The kung fu actors in the Chinese film industry are Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing. You really should take up this responsibility and continue to carry the banner of real kung fu movies!"

Under such a background, Brother Xiaosa can only go online boringly every day, update his blog, and post all the interesting stories of shooting on the blog every day, which makes many reporters and fans regard his blog as an understanding One of the best windows of progress in Red Cliff.

Of course, Wu Yusen gave permission to publish these things, and he didn't reveal the plot, at most it was only one or two photos, which is equivalent to indirectly maintaining the enthusiasm of the crew. As the director, Wu Yusen certainly agreed without reason .

On this day, when a small supporting role made a mistake again, and when Yuan Kui was giving him a play, his body was covered in blood and dust, wearing a wig and combing his hair, looking extremely embarrassed, Brother Xiaosha couldn't help but ruthlessly. I snorted fiercely, because the smell of fireworks in this scene was too strong, almost everywhere were residential houses lit by kerosene, and people were inside, it really felt uncomfortable to the lungs!

Li Minghao, the assistant, of course also joined the crew. He held a twisted white towel in his left hand and a bottle of pure water in his right hand. Asked: "Boss, the big beauty Lin Zhiling has just joined the group, she just showed up here, but she left immediately!"

"Oh, just go in! The air here smells so bad, I want to leave quickly!"

Brother Xiaosa was startled at first, but soon he returned to normal. After all, the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is beauties. He has seen a lot of them now, even if it is the so-called "Treasure Island's No. A little bit of long-awaited curiosity, rather than a very urgent desire to see her.

"Boss, she is a top-notch beauty! You didn't see how excited those extras were when they saw her just now!"

Brother Xiaosa threw the bottle to her, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you really have nothing to do in your spare time, then help me think about whether I should go to America, after all, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" "The first three films in the series are all classics, and now the fourth film is being filmed again after 19 years. I think it is likely to arouse strong repercussions, especially the combination of the two directors Spielberg + George Lucas, This kind of opportunity is really rare.”

"But this is just a small supporting role!"

Li Minghao said: "Moreover, he is playing a mercenary bought by the Soviet KBG. This is a villain character. The total time of appearance is less than 2 minutes before he is killed. This kind of drama is really meaningless."

"Yes, the character is a villain, and the time is short, but don't you think this character is actually very good?"

Brother Xiao Sa pursed his lips and said with a smile, "If I don't get killed by a sniper rifle, I'm absolutely invincible inside. This show can fully demonstrate my skills. This is what I value most."

Li Minghao opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Brother Xiaosha continued: "And the most important thing is that working with Spielberg will definitely benefit my future development in Hollywood. The only complaint is that there are too few roles. , the lines are only a few short sentences, this is really uncomfortable!"

Li Minghao could see that Brother Xiaosa still had mixed feelings about this opportunity. On the one hand, he didn't want to miss this opportunity because the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series was so famous; The chances are too small, he feels that he can't make a good use of it, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

But there is no way, because this is the normal development of Asian actors in Hollywood.

Fang Chenglong has used it for more than 10 years, Li Lianjie can only play the villain + supporting role at the beginning, and Zhou Runfa?In fact, he just played soy sauce in Hollywood, and the few movies he acted in did not leave much of a deep mark at all.

And now, Tang Xiaosa wants to enter Hollywood, even though he has already been famous all over the world, he still signed a cooperation agreement with CAA, the giant of the American economic company, but it is impossible for him to be pushed to the leading role right away. Because the root of Hollywood is still in the American market, and the American market must use Americans (mainly white) as the leading actors. Even "Rush Hour", the best-selling Hollywood work of Jackie Chan, the producer still painstakingly for him An African-American actor was arranged as a partner, which is to ensure the American content of the film.

You know, Jackie Chan's movies have always been the only protagonist, and everyone else can only play supporting roles, but his Hollywood movies have to make an exception. This is because it is difficult for American movie fans to recognize movies starring non-Americans.

Li Minghao shook the empty bottle in his hand, and said unwillingly: "I'm really not reconciled, after all, they took advantage of your fame, but actually asked you to make soy sauce, such an approach is really disgusting. "<This name is still very resounding in the hearts of European and American young people. Countless people click to watch his performance videos every day, and new fans join this European and American fan forum every day. The highest video is now about to exceed [-] million views.

Logically speaking, with such a strong popularity, it should be very easy for him to enter Hollywood, not to mention leading roles, but supporting roles must be fine, right?

But in fact, the ones who want to invite him are all small-scale reading films, or literary films.

Giants like Universal and Paramount don’t have this idea at all, because they all have actors they like, and they don’t need to spend a lot of time revising the script. After all, he is Chinese. If he is the starring role, the script They have to be rearranged.

Therefore, in fact, there is really no market for Asian male actors in Hollywood, unless it is a specific action movie, but there are not many such movies, and there are even fewer good scripts that are shot well. I haven’t seen Zhou Runfa, Li Lianjie and others. Has Fang Chenglong and others started to actively return to the Chinese film industry?

Brother Xiao Sa shook his head silently, and suddenly said decisively: "Don't worry, I will definitely not suffer, if the salary is less than 0 US dollars, I will not take it!"

He has already figured it out. He is still very young. Although he will go to Hollywood sooner or later, he should not be too humble. It is impossible to lose his face and dignity just to step into the threshold.
