Chapter 427 Too deep into the drama

"Oh no, you can't be like this, a Chinese killer living in the slums of New York. Don't you think it's too funny, Mr. Oldman?"

"Funny? More convincing than an Italian killer in a New York ghetto, I think."

"No, no, no, I know that Mr. Standing has created the very deadly killer character John Lee, and also created the villain character the Joker known to the world.

"But the killer I want is not John Lee, not a villain. He is usually just a meek, even old-fashioned man. This setting is reasonable for Italians. Moreover, Italians attach great importance to family and will sacrifice their lives to protect their families. "

"Oh? If you say so, then Chinese people are also suitable. Chinese people also have a strong concept of family.

"Also, you may not understand me. Let me make it clear. For such an action movie with no big scenes and no suspense, if Standing cannot be hired, I think it will be difficult for the company to invest in Mr. Gary."

The above conversation took place at the headquarters of Columbia Pictures, and the speakers were gold medal producer Oldman and French director Gary Lyon.

Gary's new work is attracting investment, but has been rejected by Hollywood companies such as Disney and Warner. There is some progress here in Colombia, but the management requires that the male protagonist be changed to a Chinese and that Standing, who has become popular a few days ago, be invited.

"Mr. Oldman..." Gary wanted to try harder.

Why is Gary, a Frenchman, so obsessed with Italian assassins? It's because Gary watched an Italian movie from the 1970s called "The Fighter" when he was a child, which left a deep impression on his young mind.

"Stop talking about it, Mr. Gary, this is our final decision at Columbia Pictures. If you are not satisfied, please find another company." Oldman was firm.

Other companies... If there were other options, you don't think Gary would just slam the door and leave, but now he looked at the script in his hand titled "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" and took a deep breath.

No matter how awesome a director is, he still has to face reality. Gary said, "Then I'll go back and change the script."

What he was thinking in his mind was to find other relationships. The setting of the Italian killer must be retained. This is the bottom line!

"Let me tell you one more thing, Mr. Gary, many scripts from big Hollywood productions were sent to Standing, but he rejected them all." Oldman reminded, "So it's not that simple."

Gary's face was even worse. In other words, the script itself was worthless in the eyes of Columbia Pictures, and it was only valuable if Standing could be hired.

Well, compared to making a movie, I instantly felt that the bottom line could be moved back...

On the other hand, Huang Baiyou also received bad news about the script. The "Split" he originally wanted to take on was at the signing stage, but the management suddenly made a request to reduce the salary.

Huang Baiyou was a little sluggish with such a back-and-forth behavior. He just wanted to have fun like this, so he just stopped acting.

Huang Baiyou has the role of clown to support him. Before failure, he has too many choices.

The script of "Split" is okay, but Huang doesn't have to act in it, and it's not a script like "The Truman Show" or "Farewell My Concubine". Who is used to this bad habit.

"Yes, no need to negotiate, just reject it." Huang Baiyou told Chu Yuan on the phone.

Chu Yuan on the other side of the phone agreed neatly, and she was also holding back her anger.

As the days passed, things went very smoothly with Huang Baiyou on the crew, and Yu Mo's temper improved a lot.

Not all the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" were filmed at the Daydream filming base, but there were still several filming locations - Ditan Park, the storage room of Beijing Agricultural College (formerly the gymnasium) and the West Lake of the Summer Palace.

However, the completion of the filming base scenes in two or three months also announced that 90% of the scenes in "Farewell My Concubine" were completed.

"I really don't want to leave. If I weren't waiting there to join the set, I would still like to eat lunch on the set for a few more days." Dong Gong said.

Dong Gong has finished his work, and I am holding a finals banquet for him today. He may not want to stay for food, but to watch the two performances at the end of Huang Bai Tour.

"It's just a lunch box. Eat as much as you want, I'll help you eat it all." Huang Baiyou said with a smile.

"Come on, you eat vegetable salad every day, just like a rabbit, and you help me eat it." Dong Gong didn't believe it.

"What are you talking about? I still eat shrimps, but rabbits don't eat shrimps." Huang Baiyou retorted.

"Let's wait until the movie is released." Miao Jianghe knew what Dong Gong was thinking, so he comforted him.

For an actor's solo ending banquet, the creative team sends flowers, and then a few familiar friends have a meal. Of course, they have to leave in a hurry, and they may not be able to eat.

"Okay, okay, I'm very curious. There are so many outstanding talents gathered together, such as Thirteen, Monroe, me, me, me... so many, what kind of masterpiece is it?" Dong Gong said.

Everyone laughed, but one thing was true, they were all confident and looking forward to the release of the film.

I wonder if it can be compared to "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", Li Menglu thought to herself.

There are indeed two scenes, one big and one small. Huang Baiyou discussed with director Yu Mo and moved them to the end for filming.

At the end, Cheng Dieyi and Yu Ji commit suicide, and the other scene involves burning their outfits.

Suicide is a big deal, and there are many lines in the scene opposite Yuan Xiangshi. The burning business is small, only a few seconds, but to Cheng Dieyi, two things are equally important.

In the middle of the durian moon, Huang Baiyou and the crew were about to start chewing on these two big bones, and they started burning the gear first.

This scene is because the role of Cheng Dieyi and Yu Ji was snatched away by his apprentice Xiaosi through despicable means. Duan Xiaolou came over to persuade her, "Submit yourself, you will no longer be my overlord, but your Concubine Yu".

Cheng Dieyi asked, "Why did Yu Ji die?"

One sentence expresses their attitude. When did Xiaodouzi, Cheng Dieyi, and Yu Ji ever surrender?

In addition to Dong Gong, who was finishing filming, all the actors who should be present came to observe this scene. This is a master scene. Whether it is out of curiosity or for learning purposes, everyone must come.

start--

After the senior brother left, Cheng Dieyi, played by Huang Baiyou, opened the door and walked out. His figure was very tight, with "broken steps" on his toes, but his posture was soft.

Breaking steps are the basic steps of Hua Dan, which are the same as twisting steps, dare steps, and shuffling steps. However, walking requires a straight waist and a stable upper body. Therefore, Huang Baiyou's posture not only makes the character have a strong foundation in Peking Opera, but also makes the character look like a walking corpse, which is very disappointing. Spirit.

The costumes (Peking opera costumes) were neatly arranged in the yard. Huang Baiyou touched them with his fingertips, and then walked to the front.

Huang Baiyou lit a match and burned all his clothes on fire. As the smoke rose to the sky, Cheng Dieyi's spirit also ascended to the sky.

Burning the costume means that Cheng Dieyi has burned his past, which can also be said to be his spiritual death.

Huang Baiyou looked at the flames in ecstasy, and then started to add drama on the spot, because he was also very into the drama...
