The shooting progress of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is very tight. It is impossible for Ryan to conduct a lot of training and rehearsal in the early stage like shooting "Terminator 3", nor can he be meticulously polished during the shooting process like "The Truman Show".

To put it bluntly, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is just a commercial action movie through and through. Except for the necessary fighting and explosion scenes, there is no difficulty in shooting itself.

Ryan simply arranged the crew's shooting plan to be very short, somewhat like a quick shooter in his previous life.

Every time the crew finishes filming one day earlier, they can naturally save more money.

In this regard, although some crew members inevitably complained a little, thinking that the shooting schedule was too full, and there was almost no rest time.

But at most, he muttered a few words to himself, not daring to really complain, otherwise Ryan would change people every minute.

Etkin Street in Wellington is one of the most famous attractions in Wellington. The National Library of New Zealand stands next to the Parliament of New Zealand. The scenery is very charming.

The only fly in the ointment is that New Zealand is only an island country after all, with a small area and a sparse population. The architectural design style seems to lack a trace of majesty.

The most speechless thing is the clean streets on both sides of the previous life.

At this time, not only some garbage can be seen everywhere, but there are even messy parking spaces, completely destroying the original scenery.

Right now, New Zealand is not a tourist destination in the previous life, and it can only be said to be unsatisfactory in terms of environmental sanitation protection in some streets.

However, following the global fire of "The Lord of the Rings", the New Zealand government finally began to prepare to renovate Wellington.

However, it wasn't until the number of tourists received increased that the New Zealand government was willing to actually pay for large-scale renovations.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after the peak hours of work in Wellington, the crew chose to directly start filming in front of the New Zealand Parliament.

On this point, the New Zealand government is very supportive of the crew from Hollywood.

Even the Congress can be used as a shooting location, and even sent someone to clean it up in advance.

Brad Pitt, one of the leading actors in the film, is wearing a casual sportswear and wearing sunglasses, and he is jogging near the Congress in the morning.

With the breeze blowing gently, the huge sunglasses and the trees on both sides of the road almost blocked Brad Pitt from the surveillance camera.

According to the plot in the film, an assassination is about to take place here.

However, in just one shot, Ryan had already shot three times, and he was not satisfied until the fourth time.

"Rest for five minutes, ready to shoot the next scene." Ryan managed to let the crew rest for five minutes, and then continued to shoot.

In this regard, Brad Pitt did not have the slightest complaint, and once again got up and started shooting.

As for playing big names in the crew?

It doesn't exist at all, he doesn't think he has the capital to play big names.

There are many, even countless, stars playing big names in Hollywood.

But the premise is that you have to distinguish the crew, such as Cameron's crew, who dares to play big names in front of the tyrants on the set!

The next shooting scene started, and the filming of the crew did not come to an end until around twelve o'clock at noon, and all personnel had about two hours to eat.

It's not that Ryan showed great kindness, but that the crew needed to stagger the lunch break, and they couldn't always block the streets to prevent pedestrians from entering and leaving.

"Brad, it was a good shot just now."

Ryan walked up to Brad-Pitt and patted his shoulder, "The next filming will be almost all action scenes, remember to be careful and don't be brave."

The fighting plot in the original version, Ryan almost pushes to redesign it again, similar to Charlize-Theron's fighting in "Terminator 3", but it is slightly simplified, removing some very human movements, and it is closer to the current fighting.

In this way, Charlize-Theron fortunately has the foundation left over from the previous film, and there is nothing to say about whether it is suitable or not.

Brad Pitt has not received any training, so it is somewhat reluctant for him to complete the fighting actions himself, and it is estimated that only a large number of stuntmen will be used at that time.

Brad Pitt shrugged, "Don't worry, I'm not Charlie."

When filming an action scene the day before yesterday, Charlize Theron rejected the stuntman provided by the crew, and performed difficult movements while hanging on a steel wire over and over again, which caused a slight muscle strain in her arm, and she could only rest for a few days.

Of course, for an action movie, a muscle strain is only a trivial matter. When the original version of "Terminator 3" was filmed, Arnold Schwarzenegger was hospitalized due to injuries.

After all, this is an action movie full of oriental fighting colors, and injuries are just commonplace.

"Hey, Director Ryan." Kelly-Washington, a black actress in the film, approached. "How about lunch?"

"Sorry, I still need to watch the shot I just finished shooting again." Ryan politely refused.

"Okay." Kelly-Washington turned to leave with a trace of regret flashing across her face.

At this time, the producer Doug Liman came over and looked at Kelly Washington's back with appreciative eyes, "Kelly is a very charming actress, you should not refuse."

"She's not my type." Ryan shook his head.

For the time being, he has no plans to try Black Pearl. Even though Kelly-Washington is considered pretty among the blacks, it is still not his cup of tea.

"I know." Doug Liman showed a knowing look in his eyes, "Tall, blond, and models are your taste."

Ryan rolled his eyes, didn't chat with him, went back to the monitor and sat down, and watched the shot just finished from beginning to end.

At the same time, he was thinking about the crew's next location.

The crew not only has an outdoor shooting location in Wellington, but in addition to Wellington, they will also go to Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, and Christchurch, the third largest city.

According to the plot in the script, the male and female protagonists in the film belong to two international assassin groups. It is impossible to stay in one city of Wellington and need to travel around the world to perform tasks.

"What are you thinking?"

Charlize Theron came over from an RV in the distance, holding a dinner plate in her hand, with a lot of food on it, and the variety was very rich.

Except for the original "Blair Witch" crew, Ryan has never cut the budget on crew meals.

This can be regarded as a major feature of Hollywood crews, and they never skip meals.

Hearing the voice, Ryan raised his head and glanced at Charlize-Theron, then reached out to take the dinner plate, "Charlie, you need to learn from Brad and try to let stuntmen do dangerous moves as much as possible, otherwise the insurance company will follow up with you sooner or later." The crew protested."

The Xiangjiang-style fighting scenes are very beautiful in the film, not to mention that the characters are not realistic, but they have a handsome charm.

It's just that it's definitely not that friendly to the filming actors. Many actions are simply too dangerous, and she has to do it herself, so the insurance company will be damned if they don't protest.

Of course, compared with Jackie Chan, Charlize Theron is considered good.

According to the shooting plan of "Rush Hour", Jackie Chan refused to use a stuntman for the fighting action in the film, and he will do it all by himself.

For such a request, the third-party insurance company directly protested, thinking that he was simply crazy, and it was absolutely impossible for them to agree to this matter.

Orion Pictures is still having a headache about this matter until now.

"Don't be affected by those action guides." Ryan said pointedly.

In the future Hollywood action movies, you can see the shadow of kung fu, but it is not a real Xiangjiang kung fu movie, but has blazed its own path.

From the swinging of Spider-Man, to the fierceness of Captain America, and the swiftness of Black Widow, this is the mainstream fighting scene in Hollywood movies in the future.

Ryan is definitely going to shoot this route, and even Orion Pictures will be doing the same.

Hong Kong kung fu films will never become mainstream in Hollywood.

With the passing of Yuan Heping, Jackie Chan, Jeter-Lee and others, the Hong Kong Kung Fu movies with no successors can only gradually decline.

By the end of the year, when the big ship landed on the Xiangjiang River, there was only one way for Hong Kong films to go, and that was to go north to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

It's a pity that the film market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is far from mature. It is impossible for a film like "Wolf Warrior 2" to appear.

"I just want to try to find a new breakthrough." Charlize Theron obviously has her own persistence, and she can only make more efforts to become the second Julia Roberts.

"By the way, that "Rush Hour" really plans to go to the East for its premiere in the future!" Charlize Theron was very surprised,

A Hollywood film that plans to have its premiere on the other side of the Pacific Ocean in the future is not a big news.

"It's just a plan." Ryan picked up a piece of steak and chewed it in his mouth. "The Xiangjiang government and the government on the other side of the Pacific are very interested in "Rush Hour" and intend to introduce this film."

Beginning in 1995, the first batch of imported Hollywood films across the Pacific, such as "The Fugitive" and "True Lies", were relatively successful. Among them, "True Lies" swept away 102 million yuan, becoming the first imported movie with a box office of over 100 million. Blockbuster.

The only pity is that the number of introductions is limited every year, almost being contracted by the seven major Hollywood film companies.

Facing the quota of only ten films per year and the pitifully small box office share, Orion Films has not considered the market across the Pacific Ocean for the time being.

However, they even took the initiative to introduce "Rush Hour", which is under preparation, the only requirement is that there should be no plots to smear the Chinese in the film, and they hope that the premiere of the film will be on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Ryan couldn't help sighing, Jackie Chan's influence, don't ask people, he definitely didn't come for Orion Films, but for the movie starring Jackie Chan.

It seems that "Rush Hour 1" was introduced in a game in the previous life.
