China Entertainment

Chapter 577 Difficulties
The next day, all the crew members woke up early.

Once the crew arrived, it was natural to start filming. This was just the beginning, and it was definitely necessary to polish the simple shots first and integrate the entire crew.

However, what Li Sheng was worried about at the beginning happened.

Most of the meat of the whole drama of Breaking Out of Amazon is during the training period, and the whole story of the original work is divided into two parts, one is training, and the other is naturally turning the tide.

However, such a story is too rough and pale. As far as Li Sheng knows, the original story was originally adapted from the real experience of two Chinese special forces in 99. The so-called artistic processing in the later period made the whole story distorted.

Li Sheng was also hesitant at first whether to reintegrate the script, but this time he went to Hollywood to find actors, which strengthened his confidence.

This time in the UCLA city war, if he hadn't come here in a crooked way, wouldn't the face of the Chinese be lost?
This is not to flaunt how awesome Li Sheng is, or how to turn the tide by himself, but these things all illustrate one thing from the side.

That is the so-called Chinese, the so-called motherland is in the eyes of ghosts, and they still look down on us.

We have an old saying that is good, people who kill people will always kill them, and the same thing, people who humiliate people will always humiliate them.

So when Li Sheng came back to sort out the shooting plan, he also made a lot of changes in the script.

The rhythm of the original script is roughly like this. Two special forces soldiers participate in special training, and then the plot of being kidnapped begins roughly halfway through the film.

However, Li Sheng adjusted the plot and cut a lot of scenes.

Li Sheng's adjusted script is closer to the one of soldiers assaulting. It is simple and real. It strengthens the training part of the whole story, loses the role of the heroine falling in love with the protagonist in the later scenes, and weakens the later plot.

At the most important moment, Li Sheng decided not to make up the other countries that participated in the training in the film, but to use real ones.

Regarding this, when Li Sheng told Props, Props was completely confused, and he naturally understood what the consequences would be if these national flags were used.

Li Sheng also knew that he was trying to kill himself, but he was not afraid. At present, neither China Film Group nor Bayi Factory would do anything to him.

The problem that arises today is that these actors who came to China from Hollywood to film are starting to get a little emotional.

Jet lag is understandable, acclimatization can be forgiven.

But you have no problem at all, you just refuse to go into the water, and this is the problem.

Today's filming is the scene where the trained team members are armed to go off-road and then go into the water. The ghosts refuse to go into the water to death, so here comes the problem.

How to do?
After the assistant director communicated with them to no avail, Li Sheng came over in person.

"What do you want?"

One of the black men said, "Oh, director, when we signed the contract, we didn't say that we had such intense exercise?"

"That's right, we need to add more money." Another white man also booed.

Li Sheng hooked the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, "NO!"

"It's impossible to add more money. If you don't want to, then quit! Go back to the United States!"

"I will protest to the Screen Actors Guild and recover all the expenses, and the round-trip air tickets will not be reimbursed."

"That's it, you guys change your clothes!"

Li Sheng's words immediately stunned several people. Didn't they come here from the United States for the purpose of acting?

One is to act, and the other is to make money, and there are Denzel and Jean-Claude Van Damme here, maybe I can get in touch with them, and if they are liked by others, maybe there will be other opportunities.

But after they came to China, they realized that their status seemed to be quite high, so they began to have these small things in their hearts.

But Li Sheng's attitude made them feel uncertain again. After all, they ran so far and ran back after earning nothing.

"Oh, director, we have such a proposal!" The black man hurriedly stopped Li Shengdao.

The white man who spoke before also followed suit, "That's right, if it doesn't work..."

Li Sheng had a sneer on his face, he really thought I was a soft persimmon, he could pinch it if he wanted!

Li Sheng saw that they didn't speak, and the scene was a bit stalemate. At this time, Denzel and Jean-Claude Came over.

Both of them were wearing camouflage uniforms and berets. Jean-Claude Van Damme was more cheerful and looked at the situation curiously.

"what happened?"

Li Sheng smiled at Jean-Claude Van Damme, "They feel that they are exercising a lot now, so they ask for more money!"

"I said no more money, and if I don't want them, they can go back to the United States!"

Jean-Claude Van Damme shrugged. He is not an American. Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally from Belgium and only developed in the United States.

"You're embarrassing us Americans, you know that?"

Jean-Claude Van Damme didn't speak, but Denzel did. His target was the black man who was the first to make trouble.

Hearing what Denzel said, the black man immediately bowed his head in shame.

The life of black people in the United States is not easy, and they are also discriminated against everywhere. Therefore, every black person who has achieved something in a certain area is the pride of black people and will be the idol of all black people.

Just like Ali back then, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, and Denzel HSD, for these blacks, a word from a famous person of the same color is no less than an oracle.

After Denzel finished talking about the black man, he didn't give up, and turned to look at the white men again.

"I think you are willing to come here from thousands of miles away for acting, so we have to show the ethics and professional ethics that an actor should have. There is a lot of exercise, this is not a reason!"

"Is there anyone behind me or Jean-Claude Van Damme?"

"no!"

"So, as long as I'm here, you should be here!"

"Now I will also give you a chance. If you don't want to continue filming, stand up and go back to the United States immediately. I will pay you the air tickets!"

"Do you have!"

Not to mention, the effect of Denzel's words was really good, and he immediately suppressed these thorns, and then looked at Li Sheng and nodded apologetically.

Li Sheng also knew that the time was almost up, so he waved his hands and said, "Don't be so strict, they already know that they are wrong, that's all, let's get ready!"

"The filming will start soon."

"Yes, thank you director." A few thorns left such a sentence and ran to prepare.

Denzel, obviously in a bad mood, walked away alone.

Shang Geyun suddenly came over, put his arms around Li Sheng's shoulders and said, "Oh, Li, you are amazing!" He winked at Li Sheng as he spoke.

Li Sheng shrugged at him, and walked away. When the filming starts, Li Sheng will also be in it. Ning Hao went to film Killing, and no one came to sit on the monitor for him. Now this is still sent by the Bayi Factory. The assistant director who came here, because he didn't have a tacit understanding, he needed to make his request clear in every detail.

……

With Denzel and Jean-Claude Van Damme taking the lead, this group of guys didn't dare to talk about extra money anymore, and they started to work hard during the performances. Li Sheng is quite satisfied with the current situation.

This situation continued for three days, and soon came to a difficult place.

There are two scenes in the whole play, one is diving from a plane, and the other is killing a crocodile with bare hands.

The first one sounds plausible, and the second one is simply fantasy.

But this is not impossible, Li Sheng let the props use plastic to make a few fake crocodiles, and when the time comes to shoot, look at the effect first, the most dangerous is the first one.

Airplane diving does not have a parachute. This is a very dangerous thing. Find a stunt company. I guess we can only go to Xiangjiang, but there must be a problem with the time.

Apart from the family class, the only ones who can take on this kind of work are the Raptor stunts. Luo Lixian's gang should be able to take it, but their fees must be much higher.

In the end, after thinking about it, Li Sheng could only focus on the troops. He didn't need money and was obedient. The most important thing was to have the help of Bayi Factory.

After Li Sheng told Ming Zhenjiang about this idea, he was also very embarrassed.

It is true that Zhenjiang was a soldier before he came to Bayi Factory, but he was from the army. Now if you want this kind of stuff, you have to find it from the navy. This is a problem!
However, Ming Zhenjiang also knew that such a dangerous scene would definitely not allow the actors to take part in it directly. At the very least, they needed some training, and not all actors would dance when the time came.

In the end, he agreed and asked Li Sheng to wait for the news first.

Now that Ming Zhenjiang agreed, it means there is still a way, so Li Sheng is not in a hurry, and slowly grinds his literary play.

The weather here in Sanya is really comfortable, and Li Sheng has the idea of ​​buying a house and settling down here.

Denzel was on the set when he was in a role, and when he wasn't in the role, he would go out with his wife and children to see the scenery, take pictures, and eat some delicious food, and he was quite content.

However, the leisure time was short-lived, and soon Li Sheng received a call from Ming Zhenjiang.

"Xiao Li, this time you, Uncle Jiang, I'm going to show my old face, you must make a good movie!" Ming Zhenjiang said on the phone pitifully, earnestly.

It's easy to listen to, anyone can say it.

Li Sheng hurriedly comforted Ming Zhenjiang, "Don't worry, Uncle Jiang, look at the time I failed when I worked for China Film."

"Then I'm relieved." Ming Zhenjiang said, and he hung up the phone after speaking.

Ming Zhenjiang told Li Sheng that he asked his connections to find someone this time, and the final result was that the Marine Corps specially borrowed someone from the Marine Corps, a small team of 20 people.

This Marine Corps team will be under the control of Li Sheng during the filming period, complete the training of the actors and stand-in tasks, and then return to the army.

Li Sheng naturally welcomes this, but there is one question, that is, whether Li Sheng can make these soldiers obey.

If calculated according to reason, although Li Sheng's current military rank is a civilian title, it is still higher than the captain of this team. .

Facts have proved that Li Sheng's idea is right.

……

The efficiency of the troops is very high. After receiving a call from Ming Zhenjiang, they arrived the next day. I don't know where the troops were transferred from. The efficiency is frighteningly high.

Although this group of soldiers did not carry weapons, all of them were still wearing military uniforms, and the vehicles that sent them over were also military vehicles.

Naturally, these people could not be accepted by others. Li Sheng personally brought them over, and Duan Yihong also followed them when he had nothing to do.

The leader was a middle-aged man in a white navy uniform. After seeing Li Sheng, his eyes lit up and he walked up quickly, saluting Li Sheng.

Li Sheng was also busy saluting. Taking advantage of this gap, he took a look at the man opposite him. The rank of captain was slightly lower than his own.

"Reporting chief, my name is Lu Yan, and I am the instructor of this small team."

"Captain Lu, there's no need to do this. I'm not in the army. You should call me Director Li. Besides, relax a bit."

Seeing Lu Yan so serious, Li Sheng felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt like returning to the army.

At this time, another person came out from the back line, this one looked much younger, with the rank of second lieutenant.

He blinked at Lu Yan with a playful smile.

"Look, I said that Director Li must be kind and amiable. If you still don't believe me, give it up now..."

Lu Yan shook his body slightly, shook off the man's arm, and introduced to Li Sheng with a worried expression on his face.

"This is our vice captain, Jiang Xiaoyu."

Li Sheng smiled and nodded, "Yes, Second Lieutenant Jiang, hello."

"However, Second Lieutenant Jiang is right. I am very grateful that you can take time out of your busy training to participate in the filming of this movie."

"Let's go, now I will take you to the place where you live, and we will start filming tomorrow."

Lu Yan nodded, and turned back standardly, "Everyone has it, let's run!"

Li Sheng watched the team running towards the hotel, and he didn't know what it was like.

This time, because of the film, the few days when he rushed out of the Amazon to go to the army for training still left an indelible mark on Li Sheng's life.

"Director Li? Director Li?"

Li Sheng was in a daze, when he heard someone calling him beside him, and looked sideways, it was that Jiang Xiaoyu.

"Huh? What's the matter with Second Lieutenant Jiang?" Li Sheng asked.

Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled, "It's okay, I just want to ask what kind of scene we're filming here, why do we need the Marine Corps!"

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he muttered in his heart, and decided to tear off the tiger's skin.

"Our play is called Breaking Out of the Amazon. It tells the story of two Chinese special forces soldiers who were treated unfairly when they participated in a training camp abroad in 99, but finally overcame all difficulties and persevered until the end, and there was a terrorist attack on the school. Time to turn the tide."

After Li Sheng said this, he found that Jiang Xiaoyu still had a look of indifference in his eyes, so he immediately added another sentence.

"This is adapted from real people and real events. I think it can be verified with the military ranks of the two of you."

When Li Sheng said this, Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly became serious, and he stood upright, staring at Li Sheng.

Li Sheng smiled slightly, "Let's go back to the hotel!"
