Chapter 303 Temporary Joining "Fast 7"

Looking at the shooting scene not far away and the script in front of him, Zhou Le was in a daze. This was the first time he participated in a movie without any mental preparation.

Dong Fengyu personally went to the small town to pick him up, and went to the studio hundreds of kilometers away, deliberately keeping him secret along the way.

Knowing each other very well, Zhou Le knew that it must be a surprise, otherwise Sister Dong would not have been like this.

Zhou Le knows how busy she is. Not only does she have to deal with One Plus One, but she has also been handling her overseas business. Recently, she has been working as a trapeze artist. Fortunately, Dongdong's ability is outstanding. Basically, as long as she After the road is paved, Dongdong can execute the specific operations later.

Let her make a special trip, it is conceivable that it is definitely not an ordinary guest performance, but Zhou Lewan never dared to think that the current project turned out to be "Speed ​​7", the film that stopped shooting indefinitely because of Paul's departure. In the series of racing movies, I will get the roles in it, and it is also the anti-number one with the most scenes in the seventh part.

"Your role is to take over from the previous one. You played the younger brother who caught the villain in the previous one. You are a powerful fighter..."

After introducing Zhou Le's role, Dong Fengyu explained: "In the beginning, there was no such role, but Paul is no longer here. The previous villain role seemed a little thinner, and another role was added to complement it. The first role chosen was Jason Stan. Sen, but look, from Vin Diesel to Doug Johnson, there are so many tough guys and the style is still the same."

Although Jason Statham is not bald, these three actors put together are no different from three bald men. The picture has no sense of prominence, not to mention the audience.

Dong Fengyu raised his chin: "Hey, I'm an old acquaintance, Tony Jia. He also played a role in this drama, the thug in the villain, to highlight all kinds of fierce confrontation scenes. Apart from racing cars, this drama also plays a role. The action scenes are also increasing."

Zhou Le flipped through the script and nodded to show that he understood.

The character I play is the younger brother of the villain in the sixth film. As for why he is of Chinese descent, there is a monologue earlier, which can fully explain it. I am a Chinese descendant of mixed race, and it is enough for me to be half-brother with my brother. .

The relationship between the characters and the whole play lacks a certain inseparable structure, and it is understandable that this is not a movie that completely pursues the storyline, including my own appearance can also be calculated.

The opening scene is in the hospital, the monologue, the appearance, watching the brother destroy the hospital and the rescuers at the same time.

Then came out to have a duel with Doug Johnson, two people fight one, relying on weapons, wounding Doug Johnson, so that his role in the play will be reduced, and another created for this The characters are just to set off the strength of another group of villains. Only with that strength can they drive a helicopter in LA and chase the protagonist and others all the way.During this process, Doug Johnson was the last to appear. If this character is always there, the technical support and the support of absolute armed forces will never make this episode happen. Therefore, the other Xiao played by Zhou Le needs to let Doug Johnson left temporarily.

Crash duel with Vin Diesel.

Driving to disrupt the rescue operation, almost succeeding, the car ended up rolling down the cliff.

Chase the protagonists in the building.

Being hunted down by the protagonist, he cooperated with other villains and fought fiercely in the warehouse.

In the end, he dared to fight against Vin Diesel.

In the process, it is necessary to make up for the scene of losing Han.

The appearances are relatively concentrated, and the scenes can be taken out separately. For example, scenes such as driving troubles and arranging to kill Han can be filmed separately. The rest of the scenes are mostly one-on-one. His character fits perfectly into it.

Paul's departure put this series of films in an embarrassing situation where filming was suspended indefinitely, and also made fans of the entire series of films fall into a very painful and regretful state. A film that finally formed a big IP work, the loss of one of the dual cores , It is very terrifying to the value of the entire IP.

However, similar things are not unacceptable in a large industrial chain like Hollywood. It’s just that this drama has considered the emotions of fans, considered more for the audience, and wanted to pay tribute to Paul, and did not choose to let this character die. , but invited Paul's younger brother to act as a stand-in, and then used facial restoration technology to assist in the shooting, trying to make the role's mission in the play end as normal as possible.

Because of this, the role played by Paul in the play has more scenes of the foreground and more scenes of the back, and his roles have also been compressed to a certain extent. For the sake of excitement and the length of the plot, the entire script was redesigned. Another 'Xiao' played by him officially debuted.

After understanding the before and after of the casting and the script, Zhou Le also has his own understanding of the role's positioning in his heart. It is nothing more than another style of fighting and special effects speed shots, which is the same as Tony Jia's role. If Tony Jia's fame If you are older, you don't need to play the role of yourself at all. If the script is not changed later, you can also use yourself without Tony Jia.

The current situation is nothing more than the result of multi-party operations. The purpose is to make this movie better and divert the audience's attention so that this hugely valuable IP will not lose its value due to the loss of one of its cores. .

"Fighting is the highlight, and your value lies in this. Let the whole show have a different style." Dong Fengyu made a final explanation. Come in, the film salary is also 200 million, she has done some research, and the scenes with the two tough guys, including the racing scenes, are not so dangerous, but the whole shooting process is very professional, and it is necessary to present the best picture. Collisions and injuries are unavoidable. From this point of view, the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is a gimmick, and Zhou Le's own skills as an action actor are a guarantee beyond the gimmick.

"no problem."

simple?For Zhou Le, there is not much to prepare in advance, no wonder Dong Fengyu didn't let him prepare and bring him directly to the shooting scene - he has absolute strength.

The director is Chinese, and the crew has acquaintances like Tony Jia. Zhou Le is not unknown, and there is no language barrier to communicate. All auxiliary conditions are not a problem for him. Even if it is a racing scene, the role he plays does not need it. It shows the training of a professional racing driver, who can cooperate with the crew to shoot exciting pictures, and a professional driver shoots pictures of pure car driving.

Zhou Le officially joined the crew. He could feel the sad atmosphere in the crew. He also knew that his character appeared because of Paul's death. For the time being, the supporting role of a separate story line is unlikely, and it will not be the current situation where he still has some initiative.

Before Dong Fengyu left, he specifically reminded Zhou Le: "Keep a low profile, including some fans and crew members, there is resistance to the appearance of your role, don't become a scapegoat for them to vent their sadness."

Nodding, Zhou Le started a low-key filming journey in "Speed ​​7". The sudden work arrangement prevented him from even going to the simulated scene to experience the set characters, but it doesn't matter, the first thing to do is a make-up scene The second part is the long car chase battle scene of rescue computer whiz.

"Sitting in the car and driving, we have to shoot some shots, and then there will be some shots in the instrument. You need to overcome the bumps and shakes. We need to simulate the real picture of the whole car after it rushes out of the road." Chinese director James Wen told Zhou Le is well aware of his acting skills, and the only concern now is whether he can adapt to the rhythm of filming commercial blockbusters.

Paul left, the script was revised, and Vin Diesel also needed to make up some scenes. There was a fire of sadness in everyone's heart. It was good that the new characters were filmed smoothly. He was also worried that Zhou Le's entry would slow down the filming progress. , then just as Dong Fengyu was worried, it would be difficult for this role and the actor who played him to be recognized by the crew.

Zhou Le nodded. He didn't rest all night, adjusted his state, and entered the role of a powerful fighter. It's really not difficult.

Bumping, violent shaking, as the director explained the plot, he made some body movements and facial expressions under the external influence of the 'car'.

Lao Fan made up the filming, serious and unsmiling, and only nodded politely to Zhou Le. He finished his own filming first, and left without saying anything, without watching Zhou Le's performance.

It’s not good to be ignored. Zhou Le didn’t show any emotion, and worked hard to perform every scene well. He watched the shocking footage shot before. First, the car was cast directly from the plane. The picture of landing with a parachute is very enjoyable, and whether it is reasonable or not is not important at all in front of the picture that is so addictive.

The battle between Paul and Tony Jaa in the car, the battle between the car and the car, as an actor, his role in this large episode of the plot, the car is just a posing, and the real appearance is getting out of the fallen car, carrying Backpack, while running quickly between the mountains and forests, assemble the sniper rifle inside the bag.

James Wen did not limit him: "You come to a section first, which belongs to your style. Remember, the style must be the same from the beginning to the end. The two tough guys both have tough fighting methods. I want you to show it to the audience all over the world. The feeling of Huaxia Kung Fu."

Holding the weapon, Zhou Le got familiar with it first, how to open it from the folded state in the bag, how to install it, the director did not give him any restrictions, he just sat there, for a full hour and a half, familiarized himself with the weapon that he was not unfamiliar with from the beginning. Familiar to proficient, and then...

start running.

"Director, how about all the characters in suits?"

"no problem."

Among the mountains and forests, the figure in a torn suit and leather shoes ran up, with elegant movements, and the picture of putting the weapon into use while running was concise and accurate.

cool!
