The national goddess of Korean entertainment

In Hollywood in March 10, a piece of news caused a big shock.

James Cameron, who just won the title of the highest-grossing film in film history with "Avatar", is preparing to shoot a new film.

Cameron cannot be regarded as a prolific director. One film a few years is his normal rhythm. Although he has been a producer of many films occasionally, there is still a difference between directing and directing himself.

In Hollywood, Cameron is synonymous with commercial blockbusters, but this time, Cameron's new project does not sound like a blockbuster.

sky!Is Cameron going to make a youth film? !

The reporters who were familiar with the title of the film were really a little dizzy with the preliminary news.

"Dark Angel of the End Times", isn't that a TV series written and produced by Cameron in 00?One of Jessica Alba's masterpieces.

The heroine in the ruined city, the gene man who hides in the crowd and lives a low-key life, the heroine who walks through the dark night, the cool and sexy girl in leather.

Although it is not as long-lived and has as many fans as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", in the hearts of many young people, that TV series, that Mai Si, is also the most beautiful scenery in youth memories.

It has to be said that this name brought back memories for some people.

Perhaps, Cameron still has some unresolved complexes about the episodes that were cut that year, so he restarted the project.

Cameron is not a director and producer who has no brains and will start a project based on enthusiasm and impulse. As an investor, Columbia Pictures is not a fool. Since he is willing to invest, it will naturally be profitable.

A research reporter wrote in the report:

Throughout the history of American movies, youth movies are an important part.The previous "Harry Potter" series made Warner a lot of money, and the current "Twilight" series has allowed Lionsgate to find another cornucopia, as well as Disney's "High School Musical" series, Universal Pictures The industry's "American Pie" series, these are all movies that are familiar to the audience.

However, in Columbia's film library, it seems that there are not such unforgettable youth movies.I guess that's a major factor in Colombia's aggressive investment, right?

In addition, judging from the success of "Twilight", youth movies do have a huge market.I can assert that after "Twilight", Lionsgate will definitely dig another gold mine and use another series of youth movies to create miracles.

Although Cameron rarely makes such films, I really look forward to his performance this time.

In the end, can this commercial film tycoon open up a new world in a field he is not familiar with?

Without too much criticism, the Los Angeles Times editor-in-chief Tom Hank still left a lot of leeway.

But when the cast of "Dark Angel" was revealed a week later, even the friendliest Tom Hank couldn't help but sing the opposite.

"God! Cameron is crazy..."

It does seem crazy!

The cast of this exposure is luxurious.

Among them, the leading actor, Hawkeye Logan with disabled legs, will be played by Christian Bale.

The most melancholic Batman in history, it can be said that he has no difficulty in playing the role of this hidden hero.

Bale has been the most watched star in Hollywood since he starred in Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" at the age of 12.That year, he was named the best teen actor by the British Film Critics Association, and the American Film Critics Association specially set up the Best Teen Performance Award for him.

From the child star era, this British star is an absolute acting school.

"American Psycho", "The Mechanic", "Batman" and "Terminator 2018" have achieved his status as a first-line star, and the movie "Fighter" he just finished filming has not yet been released, and it has been predicted that he will have more Big leap.

It can be said that Christian Bean is the absolute leading actor in Hollywood super blockbusters, and it is really demeaning to star in a youth movie.

However, since the producer and director is Cameron, it seems that this is not impossible.

Zac Efron, male number two, the male lead of "High School Musical", handsome guy, absolute youth idol.

But compared to Bell, this is nothing.

The leading male villain is really a great guy, Anthony Hopkins, the hero of "The Silence of the Lambs", Oscar winner, won the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award in 06.

Three generations of old, middle-aged and young, all of them are beautiful men, although their styles are different, but they are definitely three generations of male gods.

Upon seeing this lineup, some reporters joked that Cameron wanted to capture all female audiences of different ages!Just relying on these three male actors, countless female audiences will willingly pour into the theater.

Just, what happened to the heroine? !

The name of the heroine cannot be said to be unfamiliar. In fact, last month, the name Xu Zhiyuan appeared frequently in major media.

But, is Cameron really not joking?

Really want to use an oriental face to act in his new play? !

It's not that Xu is not beautiful, this mixed-race girl has both oriental elegance and European and American atmosphere. She is a beauty at first glance, but she still thinks she is a beauty at second glance.

And the acting skills are also good, the title of Berlin actress can prove her outstanding acting skills.

Even if someone hasn't watched the movie where she won the Berlin Best Actress, but in "500 Days with Summer", although it was only 5 minutes, the girl's vivid acting skills are also eye-catching.

But the point is, this girl's fame in Hollywood is really not that big!Also - can't say that!

Not to mention that she has just finished acting in "Inception" and collaborated with Leonardo, but that she appeared in New York and London Fashion Week last month, and a charity show has spread her name all over Europe and the United States.

Xu is indeed famous, but among American teenagers, can this kind of fame attract enough box office?

"What's wrong with Xu? She also acted in "Inception" before! She can also be regarded as the heroine there! What's wrong with your eyes?"

It's not that there are such voices on the Internet, and there are many, but are they really not Koreans swiping the screen?

In fact, even the reporters who voiced their doubts aloud were a little unclear about what they were thinking.

In short, when they heard that Xu Zhiyuan would be the heroine, playing the role of the gene person Max, they instinctively voiced their opposition.Just like when I first found out that Xu Zhiyuan was starring in "Inception".

At that time, there was Marion as the heroine, so Xu Zhiyuan could not be regarded as the first heroine, but now, Xu Zhiyuan really wants to be the heroine.

An oriental girl is going to be the absolute heroine of a Hollywood movie!How?

This—it really seems to be a subtle feeling that I can't turn the corner.

"Cameron is crazy! He used three moons for a star - it turns out he made the wrong decision - I can't think of anyone going to the cinema for this girl!"

Such a sharp evaluation immediately pushed Xu Zhiyuan to the forefront.

In fact, Xu Zhiyuan herself didn't understand why Cameron really chose her.

But, what the hell!She longed for the role, and now she has it.

Just like Divizi said, don't think about the process, just look at the result!

Now that she got the role, no matter what anyone said, she would not give up.

"Sir, I will not disappoint you! Never—"

Hearing what Xu Zhiyuan said, Cameron was startled at first, and then laughed.

"I trust my own vision..."

After swearing and swearing, Xu Zhiyuan overheard Cameron and Divizi on the phone and said with a smile: "That kid really doesn't look like Lobo at all..."

The same is true of the bolt from the blue, she never thought about whether her stepfather also played a role in it.

But looking at it now, she was too optimistic!

Feeling depressed for a while, Xu Zhiyuan recovered from the blow before Li Meihua could report her abnormality to Qiong.

Looking at Li Meihua who was nervous, and Joan who rushed over after hearing the news, she just smiled, "I'm fine—really, fine..."

In front of Joan, she didn't hide it, "Although I don't know how much Lobo invested in this movie, I believe that Cameron is not the one who ruined his own movie just for investment. If it's not suitable, he will definitely Impossible to use me!"

Facing Joan's gaze, she turned her head, thought about it, and smiled, "You really don't need to persuade me, I think very clearly, no matter what others say, I just need to do my job well and prove that I can act well This role—no, it proves that I am Max, and Max is me—this role cannot belong to anyone but me!"

Looking at Xu Zhiyuan's bright eyes, Joan also smiled, "When did I say I would persuade you! Xu, all success in this world comes from strength and luck! You are no exception..."

Turning around, she greeted Su Qi directly, "Su Qi, here's the itinerary for you! Keep an eye on Xu, if she misses exercising for one day, she will deduct one day's salary from you..."

Su Qi wailed, Li Meihua leaned over to look at the itinerary in her hand, opened her mouth wide with just two eyes, "God! Are you going to train special forces?"

Because of Li Meihua's exclamation, Xu Zhiyuan was mentally prepared.

Looking at the itinerary again, I am not so surprised.

She has a full schedule. From now until the filming starts in May, her every day, no, every hour is full.

Except when resting and eating, she has tasks to complete every hour.

Needless to say about ordinary fitness, there are also all kinds of learning, fighting skills, climbing skills, all kinds of imaginable and unexpected skills, just like what Li Meihua said, this is really like training special forces.

But, it's not training special forces, it's just training for a character before filming, so that she can be fully qualified as Max, a genetic warrior.

Many actors have experienced this kind of training, like Joseph before, and Pei Douna in Korea, they are all training skills in areas they are not familiar with.

Sometimes, it is just a shot of less than 1 minute, but the actors need to pay a lot before shooting.

Holding the fluffy paper, Xu Zhiyuan can already foresee what her life will be like in the next month or so.

But she didn't go to talk to Joan as Li Meihua whispered. Without saying a word, she immediately started to act according to the first item of the itinerary.

Su Qi, who had been staring at her, was really relieved. She picked up her bag and chased after her, "Xu, I'll drive! Hua, if you don't hurry up, we will leave you behind..."

"It's really too—Sister Zhiyuan..."

Knowing that this itinerary should not only be requested by Joan, but also by the crew.

She had read the contract before, one of which was to receive training before filming.Although it is said that there is no detailed description of what kind of training, but seeing this itinerary, I understand.

She often works out and thinks she has kung fu, but Xu Zhiyuan realized that she is still not strong enough after practicing for a while.

It can't be said that she can't beat the coach because he is too big. This is just one person. What she learned in her previous life is to save her life, but now she can't even beat one person.

She gritted her teeth fiercely, and hit the boxing bag so hard that the whole boxing bag shook.

But he didn't know that the coach on the side was calling for support: "I think Xu can learn more, for example-Chinese Kung Fu."

When she returned to the fighting training ground the next day, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help being surprised.

Yesterday he was an American boxer, big and ruthless, but today he is a short and thin Chinese.

Although the master became short and thin, Xu Zhiyuan didn't feel relaxed at all.

The whole world knows the power of Chinese Kung Fu, but the real Kung Fu masters are not just about size.

As soon as he got started, Master Bai was overjoyed, "Little girl has learned kung fu before? I have a little knowledge of Jeet Kune Do, but Jeet Kune Do is too fierce, so it's still not suitable for little girls."

This is a master, and you will be able to find out if you try it.

Xu Zhiyuan saluted respectfully and asked for advice humbly, really doing the disciple salute according to Chinese rules.

Master Bai was also funny, "It is said that Koreans inherit ancient rituals well. I still don't believe it. Now it seems that it is a little bit-but our Chinese ancient rituals are modest, and you Koreans are not good at this. How can you They always say that this and that belong to you!"

"Master Bai, you are a master, I really want to learn real kung fu from you."

Xu Zhiyuan didn't care about his jokes, but seriously asked for a teacher.

Master Bai didn't agree, but just laughed, and didn't mention the matter of recruiting apprentices at all afterwards.

Fortunately, he refused to agree, but he was still very serious when teaching Xu Zhiyuan.Xu Zhiyuan no longer mentioned the matter of apprenticeship.

Since she refuses to answer, there must be a reason, she can't force others to do what she wants.

Fighting classes, in addition to bare-handed fighting, there are also weapon fighting, daily fighting classes, both in the East and the West.

Generally speaking, Seo Ji-won's works are divided into two parts.One part was taught by Master Bai, and the other part was taught by the former big man Geen.

After the fighting class, there is also a climbing class in the afternoon. At first, it was indoor rock climbing, then it was tree climbing, and then it was wall climbing and balance beam...

In addition to these, there are ordnance and shooting classes. For a whole month, Xu Zhiyuan has been in a state of study.

Almost in a semi-closed state, I don't care about anything, and I just focus on training.

Until, an unexpected visitor came...
