Legend of Tomorrow

Robert’s inspiration really came from Guo Xu, because Guo Xu is going to play Keanu’s son in the movie, and the audience will definitely find it interesting.

In this scene where the protagonist becomes fat, his son is also a fat man, played by Jonah Hill, and the few shots of him lying on the sofa will not convey the truth.

In his previous life, Jonah was a famous comedian in Hollywood, an inspirational fat man who could gain weight and lose weight just to act in movies. Currently, he has just graduated from college and is working as a walk-on.

The protagonist wrote a note to win back his wife, but was knocked into the hospital by a dog. Fast forward to the time of the illness. Six years later, the protagonist had liposuction and became thinner. Keanu, who was very vicissitudes of life after makeup, began to act in the next scene. The wife became an ex-wife, and the son who lost weight was played by Guo Xu.

When Keanu was lying on the hospital bed looking at his liposuctioned belly and playing with it and saying it looked like a tongue, the effect was better than Adam Sandler's original version. Sandler has always been a comedian, and no one is surprised by what he does. However, Keanu mainly focuses on being cool when filming. It is very funny to watch him do this kind of thing, forming a strong contrast.

Guo Xu's performance is very simple, just keep an expressionless face and look distant from Keanu. His setting is that he has a normal relationship with his father, and he values ​​work over family.

The protagonist wants to have a family dinner and meet his parents, but is told by his son that his father has passed away.

The protagonist uses the remote control to replay the scene where he saw his father for the last time. At that time, he was immersed in his work and refused to look at his father. He finally raised his head but impatiently refused his father's invitation to a party. He also used harsh words to expose the little magic tricks his father had started performing when he was a child. Then my father left sadly and aggrieved, as if he had made a mistake.

The protagonist was so regretful that he kept crying as his father told him I love you son.

Keanu's acting skills exploded during this period, because his relationship with his father is very special.

Keanu's mother is British and his father is Chinese-Hawaiian and they live in Lebanon. His father lived until Keanu was 13 years old and left without any warning, and Keanu didn't hear from him for ten years.

The next time he heard about his alcoholic father was because he had been caught selling heroin, and he wanted nothing to do with the man for the rest of his life. Samuel Reeves admitted in a jailhouse interview that Keanu had no intention of reconciling. He bitterly said it was the price he paid for his two decades of drug abuse, prison terms and a life of squalor.

Keanu's tears were for his father in the movie. He felt that he was very pitiful. He was obviously a good man, but he had an unfilial son who didn't know how to cherish him.

After that, they filmed their son’s wedding scene. The crew randomly found a white actress to star with Guo Xu. There were only a few scenes, so she wouldn’t overwhelm the scene. Originally, the crew wanted Megan to make a guest appearance.

After some discussion, the idea was abandoned. If Megan always appears with Guo Xu, it may bore the audience. Who wants to watch them show affection and abuse dogs all day long?

Seeing his daughter calling someone else daddy, the male protagonist was so stimulated that he collapsed. On the hospital bed, Guo Xu played against Keanu, saying that he would not go on his honeymoon because he was busy with work.

The male protagonist chased all the way in the rain and even fell down. When he was dying, he warned his children in an extremely desolate way to put family first... and gave his wife a note written to win back his wife.

In the heavy rain, Guo Xu and Keanu played the most important scene together. Both of them were very careful and did not treat it as a comedy. They wanted to make the plot as touching as possible. There was a lot of NG over this, and the two of them got caught in the rain.

Remote Control is not just a simple comedy, it is the most highly rated Sandler movie. Tell people to cherish the present. Even if there is pain and tears in today's life, they are all precious memories.

Without this film, Sandler may only be able to make more vulgar comedies in recent years, such as Don't Mess with the Zohan and Jack and Jill to compete for the Golden Raspberry Awards.

There was no pressure on Guo Xu. He was not familiar with this guy. If he hadn't entered the entertainment industry late, he would have copied Fifty First Dates.

It took a day and a half for Guo Xu and the crew to complete the shoot. The scene where the male protagonist wakes up and becomes more family-oriented has been filmed before. Because the young actors cannot follow the crew, they have to film it first, and then edit and change the order to become the final movie after all filming is completed.

The crew filmed for less than two months in total, and the production cycle was very short, faster than the previous Sandler.

The previous film was shot in New York. Sandler is a die-hard baseball fan of the New York Yankees. He would go to see the Yankees when there were games. As a result, the filming of the film was interrupted several times and was delayed. After the filming location was changed to Los Angeles, everything became easier.

Obviously Keanu filmed Hellfinder first, but that film had a lot of special effects and complicated post-production, so Remote Control could be released before Hellfinder if you want.

Robert Smith is planning to use his connections to see if it can be released around Christmas in December. This is the easiest time to hit the box office, and the competition is fierce, but it will not collide with Hell Detective.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Hell Detective was only released in February 2005. Even with Keanu at the box office, it was a flop because the cost was as high as 100 million U.S. dollars and the global box office was only 200 million U.S. dollars. The time and energy the company put in All wasted. The vast majority of the audience came for Keanu. The response in North America was not high, and the magical plot also caused dissatisfaction among fans.

In fact, this movie is really good-looking. It can be said to be a masterpiece, but it is a niche movie.

It would be very interesting if the low-budget comedy Controller outshines Warner Bros.' Hell Detective. This is possible. It’s a movie that’s suitable for families to watch together and adds some meaning to life, while a dark film like Constantine can only attract DC fans.

At the closing banquet, director Donald said with confidence: This is the most satisfying work I have ever made as a director. I am sure that the box office is guaranteed to be 200 million. This is a really good script.

Keanu was the happiest. He toasted Guo Xu with a glass of wine and said with a smile: Jason, I think my transformation has been successful this time. Remember to contact me if you have such a good movie in the future.

I will never forget you if something good happens. I am currently writing a script. When it is completed, you will play the leading role. I plan to invest more than 100 million in this movie to make a blockbuster. It is not a small-budget comedy.

Keanu became interested: What is it about?

Guo Xu said: It has science fiction, action, romance, and all kinds of commercial elements. In addition to you, I also plan to find Jason Statham and Jet Li to star together. The current plan is that we will play brothers again in the movie.

Okay, contact me at any time. It's confirmed that I will be the leading actor and cannot be replaced. Keanu now has inexplicable confidence in Guo Xu and Robert.

Meghan was eating on the side without making any comments.

Guo Xu was not surprised that Megan had not asked to go filming recently. He suspected that she was no longer interested in developing an acting career. She seemed to prefer to stay at home, be a housewife, and live with him.

Megan did think so. If she acted in a movie with a particularly long production cycle, the two would not be able to see each other for a long time. She would be depressed if Guo Xu had a woman outside. Even if she wanted to make a movie, she would have to wait until the NBA season started, and Guo Xu would be too busy to do anything else.

As long as she is around Guo Xu, she will be highly exposed. She is rich and famous, and everyone knows her. Why should she suffer and make many movies? When her husband invests in making movies, she can just play a suitable role.

As he grows older, the little fox becomes more and more cunning...
