Section 244
Back then, didn't David Bell, the master of extreme sports and the god of parkour, establish his reputation as the father of parkour with the movie "Violent Street"?
This makes parkour popular all over the world!
Chapter 216 Arriving at Hengdian! (Please subscribe, please vote!)
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yu studied his recent schedule, then agreed to the matter and decided to go to Hengdian tomorrow to meet with the crew.
However, in order not to delay the normal live broadcast and the Discovery Channel signing, he only reserved one day.
After hearing what Lu Yu said, Uncle Long seemed a little disappointed, but he still thanked him: "Okay, just one day at a time. In this way, we can keep in touch at all times. I will send someone to pick you up when we arrive."
"no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu continued to organize his mailbox, replying to emails and private messages on Weibo, and was busy until the afternoon.
In the evening, I had a rare leisure time and played "Minecraft" for a while before going to bed.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning.
After eating, Lu Yu booked a high-speed train to Hengdian and arrived at his destination early.
The one who came to pick him up was the female assistant from yesterday, named Wang Xiaoye.
The little girl is not very old.
Slender figure, long hair reaching waist.
Dress simply.
Somehow, when he saw the real person, Lu Yu actually had a feeling of déjà vu.
After exchanging a few pleasantries and meeting each other, the two got into a Mercedes and headed straight to the set.
In my impression, Cheng Zilong's assistants did not seem to have this little girl.
Where did this come from?
With doubts, Lu Yu searched online, and the results surprised him.
It turns out that this little girl is none other than the daughter of China Entertainment CEO Wang Zonglei...
No wonder he looks so familiar.
At the red carpet premiere of the movie Big Time, Wang Zonglei brought his wife and daughter to the red carpet.
This red carpet was his daughter's first public appearance, which attracted a lot of attention from the media and was on several hot searches.
But why did she become Uncle Long's assistant?
Are you here to experience life?
I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it.
Turning off his phone, Lu Yu began to close his eyes and rest.
About an hour later, the car finally arrived at its destination.
After getting out of the car, Lu Yu put on his backpack and, led by Wang Xiaoye, entered the set and met with Uncle Long.
"Oh, welcome, welcome!"
"you are welcome."
After greeting each other, the two immediately got down to business. Cheng Zilong took Lu Yu to meet Director Yuan.
In the studio, Mr. Yuan took off his sunglasses and glanced at Lu Yu.
The next second, his frown suddenly spread out, showing an overjoyed expression, and he shook hands with him repeatedly: "Hello! Good work, good work! I have seen your parkour video online, it's really great!"
"thank you."
The withered palms are very strong.
It's better to meet him than to be famous. This old man is no ordinary old man.
In today's film industry, Yuen Heping is a figure like Mount Tai and Beidou, the most famous action director in Hong Kong Island.
Yuan Heping is good at designing movements according to different people, and can make the best use of each person's strengths.
His action guidance is known as the finishing touch of action films and is very popular among Chinese and Western directors.
When the two met, Yuan Heping stopped the busy actors and staff, called everyone together, and briefly introduced Lu Yu and the purpose of his trip.
For some domestic celebrities, the name Lu Yu is naturally familiar to them.
After all, it has been on the hot search list so many times, so even if you don’t know it, you still know a little bit about it.
But many foreign stars are different.
Quite a few of them didn't know much about what this young man was doing, and they all thought he was a new stuntman on the crew.
Among the many stars, there were many familiar faces. Lu Yu glanced at them and saw that there were at least three or five international action superstars.
Jason Statham, Scott Adkins, Jean-Claude Van Damme, etc., the lineup is very strong.
While Director Yuan was speaking, the foreign director Brian remained silent.
He didn't stand up until he finished speaking. This guy stood up and muttered in English: "Teacher Yuan, I understand your intention very well, but I still feel that a simple chase scene is really unnecessary. When we go to war, shouldn’t we use our strength where it should be used?”
"This kind of drama is really unnecessary, do you understand what I mean?"
Brian is the director of the Mission: Impossible series and has directed many Hollywood action blockbusters. He is very famous and has a unique perspective.
The style has always been simple and crude, never paying attention to details.
Because he feels.
There's nothing special effects can't fix.
Immediately afterwards, Director Brian's portable translator translated his words to Yuan Heping.
Yuan Heping listened and laughed: "Bryan, our action movies have always paid great attention to details. A seemingly ordinary chase scene can still be played with many tricks and even become the mainstay of the movie."
Brian shrugged and asked, "What? What kind of tricks can be done with a chase scene? It's just running, running, running, okay? Now the movie is about to enter the final stage, and our time really cannot be wasted."
"I know, but please believe me, if this person joins, your eyes will definitely shine..."
While speaking, Director Yuan looked at Lu Yu with a meaningful tone.
But Brian didn't seem to buy it. He looked at Lu Yu, and then put on a posture of despair, paralyzed on the chair, and sighed repeatedly: "Oh, buy it——"
Mr. Yuan smiled and ignored him. He turned to Lu Yu and whispered in a low voice: "This chase scene is at the beginning of the film. The general content is that the villain escapes from prison and then evades pursuit in the neighborhood. The whole process took five minutes.”
"We were originally going to include a drag racing scene."
"But it always felt that it was not very specific and could not fully highlight the character's mobility, resulting in a lack of tension in the opening chapter. That's why I thought of your parkour. Although I don't know much about this sport, after watching your performance, I was I feel that if parkour can be arranged into the plot of the movie, it will definitely become a highlight of the action movie.”
“Its expressiveness and enjoyment fit perfectly with many action movie scenes!”
After listening to Director Yuan's words, Lu Yu also had a general understanding of the play, and after watching their samples, he had a preliminary understanding of the "villain's" escape route.
There are only two scenes.
One is a prison and the other is an old neighborhood, both of which are particularly suitable for parkour.
The filming location is inside the film and television city, which was temporarily set up by the crew.
The style is a bit like the scattered residential houses in South American cities. It is very large and is almost a perfect copy.
After understanding the relevant situation, Lu Yu thought about it and said it was no problem, and then designed a perfect parkour route on the spot.
"The whole process from A to B takes about five minutes. It should meet your requirements. Take a look."
Looking at the routes drawn on the paper and the professional parkour terminology, Director Yuan was like reading a book from heaven.
After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out. Finally I had to say: "Well, Mr. Lu, can you give us a live demonstration?"
Chapter 217 Parkour demonstration shocked the audience! (Please subscribe, please
Monthly ticket! )
After receiving Lu Yu's affirmative reply, the entire crew responded and drove to the relevant shooting locations under the guidance of the staff.
Sitting in the car and looking at the scenery outside, Lu Yu was very surprised.
Compared with Hengdian in the previous life, the replica buildings here are obviously much richer.
Along the way, even iconic buildings such as the White House and the Wujiao Building have corresponding replicas. Lu Yu was stunned for a while and sighed in his heart: Technological productivity is really a double-edged sword.
Sometimes, while destroying everything, it can really help civilization reach the highest point in certain fields.
Human beings use their own conscience as a bargaining chip to bargain with the earth in exchange for a better material life. It seems that they will make a sure profit without losing money, but is this really the case?
As a visitor from other planes, Lu Yu didn't think so.
Because sometimes, the means that you think are smart often pay a devastating price.
As I stared at the dazzling buildings of various colors outside the window and my thoughts were racing, a total of ten business minibuses finally slowly stopped in an open space.
The so-called shooting location is a typical South American style street.
It occupies a large area.
Replica buildings can be seen everywhere.
Although it doesn't look that perfect, it doesn't affect the look and feel.
The scattered houses, rusty street signs, exaggerated graffiti, and the combination of warm and cold tones, including many details, are all done very well.
Of course, this is not enough.
Later they will also have to shoot on location.
This is done now just to facilitate shooting.
After arriving at the destination, the relevant cast and crew got off the car one after another, and then began to get busy.
On the other side, Director Yuan and Uncle Long were always by Lu Yu's side, asking him a lot of parkour knowledge.
Mr. Yuan's favor for Lu Yu puzzled many staff members who were not familiar with Lu Yu.
Especially those foreign filmmakers.
