Chapter 892: Cooperation with Brother Honglei
Use personal grudges to desecrate film and television art.
Doug Liman is an idealistic director. He cannot tolerate such things happening. Looking at Chen Hao, most of the previous dissatisfaction disappeared. What then rose was dissatisfaction with the company and those rich people. How can you fight? It doesn't matter to me, but this is not the reason for you to use your works as a tool. The investment amount of the two films exceeds 200 million. Even for a company like Fox, it is not just a matter of compensation, and the damage to reputation is even more serious. What money can't make up for.
Doug Liman did not watch Chen Hao's assessment. He went directly to the side and picked up the phone and called the producer, asking him to convey his dissatisfaction to the company's senior management. He argued with reason. How could a company be so willful? These are two very good productions in a year, are they going to hurt each other like this? If the news spreads, wouldn't it mean that others will laugh to death?
Here, Christine was curious, while instructor Larry was a little angry, but the anger did not last long. After all, Chen Hao was not a soldier under his command, and the assessment standards could not be based on a qualified soldier. The only thing he did was to raise the assessment standards a bit. As soon as he started the assessment, he was shocked by the absolute strength shown by the other party. An expert would know if he was there as soon as he made a move.
As a veteran who has seen blood on the battlefield, Larry also possesses keen intuition. The first anger he felt was that his authority was provoked. After this appearance, he knew just by seeing the other party running down a few kilometers with even breathing and ease. , is the other party really knowledgeable and a master?
The tactical movements and tactical sign language are completely flawless and can even be used as textbooks to train new recruits in the army.
Target practice.
Accuracy is not the goal. The state of picking up the gun, the feeling between the body and the gun, and professional use. Larry would like to say that you don't have to be so standard. When filming, you will be asked to run a cooler route.
Response capability.
The two played a paintball CS match in Larry's training camp. After twenty minutes, Larry had to admit that he lost. In other aspects, he was still somewhat confident, but when it came to reaction speed, he really felt that he had lost. That guy's physical fitness is incredible and cannot be measured against normal opponents.
After a series of tests, Larry finally wanted to have some fun. For all the training that could be used for this film, if the crew required him to reach a standard of 60 points before filming could begin, then he could now Give it a 200 points for very good.
In an era where the strong are respected, you should fully demonstrate yourself. If someone has this strength, there is indeed no need to conduct basic training here. It is a waste of time. Regarding desert-type training, Larry only asked Chen Hao, you can ?
"I can single-handedly traverse any desert area you think humans can traverse."
That's enough. This answer is enough. Larry didn't even go to the test and directly gave Doug Liman a conclusion - MOUSE does not need to be trained at all. By then, my training for Kristen will have reached a certain stage. , the two of them can practice together to increase some tacit understanding.
Doug Liman knew why Chen Hao wanted to leave in a hurry, and he was not embarrassed. He nodded and agreed to his departure. The embarrassing thing was that Kristine was going to be trained alone. Fortunately, this girl was a very professional and dedicated actor. She just Casting a curious look at Chen Hao's departure did not delay her from learning the supporting knowledge of playing the role as a professional actor.
At the end of the day's simple training, what awaited Larry and Kristen was a special invitation from Chen Hao. He did not leave, but stayed with Doug Liman. He spent the entire afternoon studying the script in the car, and also used this method. The actors and the director are familiar with each other, eliminating misunderstandings that may arise from unfamiliarity.
In the evening, Chen Hao invited several people to dinner with a very sincere attitude. His behavior left a good impression in Doug Liman's heart. Young people are confident, courageous, and stable. Such actors use At least you won't have to worry about messing up something.
A specially arranged French dinner, two bottles of good wine, four hours of dining time, four people chatting happily, two professional actors who had to film the characters well, a director who had to film the film well, and a seemingly disengaged person. Apart from the three of them, Larry actually has a lot of action scenes in the film. On the one hand, there is an action director. The idea of a real soldier's unique perspective on many scenes has also benefited the three of them a lot, even though every time Larry They all say that what they say may not be useful. With MOUSE, you can adjust it anytime and anywhere during shooting.
One meal, more than 200,000 US dollars spent, and four hours of conversation, Chen Hao nixed the potential for resentment in the cradle and was able to contribute to the creation of the work. Whether it was an invitation or a treat, he always paid for it. He does not think this is an inferior behavior. On the contrary, he thinks it is the most worthwhile thing to do, to contribute to his dream, rather than to destroy himself when he has the willful qualifications.
……………………
Doug Liman's dissatisfaction is that on the one hand, Fox is not really stupid. It uses so much money and reputation to do things. Within a certain range, we have to give you the face of Master Seedorf, but if it goes beyond this level, , then I’m sorry.
Regarding "Prison Break", the attitude of the crew has always been very good, and this is why. I will give you MOUSE problems to embarrass you, but I also want to convey to you an attitude in all aspects. As long as you are willing to pay a certain price, many things can be solved easily.
Who would have thought that even though "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" had joined the cast, Chen Hao could easily have nearly a month to shoot. On the "Prison Break" crew, the internal communication problems of a company were easily solved, and he still wanted to People who saw Chen Hao's joke on this issue could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
When we arrived at the prison where we were filming, it was a prison that was about to be abandoned. I have to say that the crew was very lucky. This was a prison with insufficient capacity, and the state was unwilling to bear more costs. The producers of Fox It was only after he learned the news that he started to operate the film, sponsored a large amount of money to help transfer prison inmates, and promised to use it only for a period of time. This was slightly contrary to the previous excuse for Chen Hao. He arrived here to understand the actual situation. There is no need to worry about the situation. It has been abandoned, and there is no need for a hard target shooting time. There are even many benefits of having such a prison. Many scenes that previously required scenery can now be played in the prison. Anyway, here It has been abandoned. Whether it is to build passages or destroy some non-main buildings, the crew can use it at will. This also makes all the scenes of the escape route in the play do not need to be set up, and can be shot here in real scenes.
When Chen Hao arrived, all the crew members were ready, and the filming of some large scenes that did not require faces had been completed.
Faced with his arrival, everyone paid enough attention to it without any contempt for his skin color. The role of the clown was enough to impress all the actors. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor to serve as the male lead in a TV series. Even if the difficulty of skin color is added to it, it is more than enough. Even regarding the setting of the character Lincoln Bruce, the crew calmly accepted the existence of another Chinese actor.
When filming abroad, actors from the same country naturally support each other. Regarding the role of Lincoln, it was Chen Hao who recommended it to the crew. Before recommending it, he also met with him in Yanjing and chatted about it. Regarding this matter, the role of your nephew can be played by an American actor. This can be explained as the child born of Lincoln marrying an American girl, but the brothers have nothing to say. When they found Chen Hao, Fox was ready to buy it. To prepare for one-for-one, I also secretly inspected some actors. The one recommended by Chen Hao was within the scope of the other party's consideration. He had enough fame in China, enough image, and enough acting skills. The only disadvantage was his figure. After a period of time, Strengthening training will make up for the weaknesses in this area. For the future Chinese market, the presence of Chen Hao will not be the icing on the cake, but it will also give the Chinese audience a feeling that this is our home scene. There are enough benefits to develop the Chinese market. .
"Brother Hong Lei."
Chen Hao came up and gave Sun Honglei a big hug, who was here first, and fully stated his position. Brother Honglei is a newcomer in your eyes, but I am not. I am a man with 1.5 million US dollars per episode. Number One is the core soul of this drama in Fox's eyes. Whether it is an actor or a director, anyone who wants to cause trouble must think about it first.
In the production of American TV dramas, the producer is the biggest, and the director’s role is much smaller than that of a movie. Unless it is the kind where a super big director is hired for the first or second episode, the director’s intimidation power on the crew is also very small. You may not be able to film two episodes before changing people. Here, they want to give face to the main actors, so if Chen Hao comes up and hugs Sun Honglei first, no one will think anything of it.
Here, except for the female lead who has not yet arrived, all the actors combined are not as famous as Chen Hao. He has the qualifications to announce his strength on the first day of the crew. All the cast and crew must recognize this. kind of strength.
When I first considered this role, Simon Yam, Anthony Wong, Zhang Hanyu, Wu Zhenyu, Sun Honglei, Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wu were all considered. Jiang Wen was the most suitable. However, his current status would not allow him to become the underling in an American TV series. The rest Either he is not strong enough or he is not fierce enough. Based on the character setting of Lincoln Bruce, in addition to the need for fitness, Sun Honglei is the most suitable.
Let’s say hello first. Chen Hao handled this as a Chinese actor, giving enough respect to his favorite senior actor and asking him if he wanted to go and if he could accept the reshaping of his image.
Sun Honglei also understands the situation here in the United States. As an actor, he is more pure. You need to gain weight for the role. There is nothing to say. You have to do it. His overall figure feels adequate, but the only drawback is that his muscles are a bit poorer. The rest, from height to body shape, plus the semi-bald appearance, are all in line with the image of Lincoln Bruce.
Sun Honglei started practicing in China since he decided to take the filming, and he also hired professional coaches after arriving here. During the period after the new year, the results were obvious. Even if he was wearing prison uniform, if he didn't look at his face, he would be unrecognizable. .
