Chapter 225： you unreliable guy

   Zhang Dongcheng's new movie started to be filmed, so he couldn't hide it from those discerning media members. The news that "Dark War" was filmed locally in Los Angeles spread unknowingly throughout the streets and alleys. Anyone who is interested in movies knows that Smith Zhang, the most famous in Hollywood, has started filming his fourth work!

The preparations for "Dark War" were carried out extremely smoothly, which also caused the launch conference to be held two days earlier than expected, but it was still held in the large conference room of Dongcheng Pictures as usual.

When the invited media reporters arrived at the venue, the press conference officially began.

"Director Smith, why do you want to remake a Hong Kong movie?" A girl with splendid blonde hair raised her hand after getting permission and asked Zhang Dongcheng.

"About this point, I think you may have misunderstood a little." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and explained: "I just like this story very much. Many of the plots are not just a simple remake. Although its origin is The script is based in Hong Kong, but the story is definitely an American story, I think everyone will like it!"

Few of the people present doubted what Zhang Dongcheng said. After all, Zhang Dongcheng's big talk has gone too far. For example, in the two big smoking guns at the beginning, he uttered bold words and went straight to "The Godfather" as the goal of surpassing. In the end, it turned out that he was right. And the reporter who kept laughing at Zhang Dongcheng at the beginning became a laughing stock!

Zhang Dongcheng is an absolute genius in movies, he was born to eat this bowl of rice. Just like Cameron, he was just an ordinary truck driver at the beginning, but in the process of watching the movie, he suddenly felt that the director is his goal in life. In the end, it got out of control and became the director who dominates Hollywood today.

And because of the Titanic, at next year's Hollywood Awards Ceremony, I will shout the unforgettable words, I am the king of the world!

"Hello, Mr. Nicolas Cage! Do you choose to cooperate with Director Smith, is there any other reason?"

Zhang Dongcheng narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and carefully looked at Nicolas Cage beside him, thinking in his heart, it seems that this guy has already become famous far and wide.

The reporter’s question is easy to understand. Is there any other reason for you to cooperate with Zhang Dongcheng besides money?

Nicolas Cage is not an idiot. He is wearing a blue casual suit today, with the buttons on the collar of his shirt open, looking very uninhibited. Smiling: "Of course, Smith's movie is very attractive. I think he is very challenging! I like this character!"

Zhang Dongcheng nodded calmly in his heart, it seems that Nicolas Cage still did some homework.

But then, Zhang Dongcheng was completely dumbfounded and overturned his current conclusion.

"Mr. Nicholas, for this recreated character based on the existing script, can you tell us about your understanding of this character?" As an old friend of Zhang Dongcheng, Miss Selina from the Los Angeles Film News did not expect Arrived.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Nicholas's face, he laughed, and said vaguely, "I can tell you with certainty that this movie is just like what Director Smith said, and everyone will definitely like it! "

Zhang Dongcheng's face darkened, and he thought to himself, Nicolas Cage doesn't know what kind of character he is going to play until now? He hasn't even read the script, has he? ?

In fact, Zhang Dongcheng's guess was right. Nicholas is only serious about acting when he is really interested in acting. Zhang Dongcheng's $20 million is the reason why he was moved to take on another gangster movie. In the bottom of his heart, he didn't care too much. He didn't expect Zhang Dongcheng's actions to be so fast, and the crew's preparations were completed two days ahead of schedule.

Nicolas Cage is definitely an alternative to Hollywood. He won the little golden man, but he was also called box office poison. The whole of Hollywood is full of scorpion shit, and he has more personality than Keanu, a genius who is a little bit of a second.

Cooperating with such a guy, Rao Zhang Dongcheng has long been mentally prepared, and he is still very angry at his irresponsible mentality.

The launch conference of "Dark War" lasted for nearly an hour, and it was successfully announced that it was over. After all, in this kind of activities, it is often just everyone cooperating to hype it. Usually it doesn't last long.

Perhaps seeing that Zhang Dongcheng was upset, as Nicolas Cage's partner John Travolta explained to Zhang Dongcheng: "Sorry, Director Smith, this guy is like this, don't be angry. But this guy is very good at acting. Absolutely serious. Once you start shooting, you will never lose the chain!"

Zhang Dongcheng, who wanted to take this opportunity to get angry and give Nicolas Cage a reminder, had to give up his original thoughts after hearing this sentence, and said with a wry smile: "Okay! I hope this guy can do what you said !"

The movie "Dark War", whether it is the Hong Kong version or Zhang Dongcheng's American version, does not have any special effects shots. At most, there was a shootout scene. Even the fighting scenes are pitifully small. This is totally a movie of wits and courage.

Two guys with high IQs, one good and one evil, opposing each other, but they can cooperate seamlessly to catch the villain in the film together.

Among them, Zhang Dongcheng's tricks are to cut off the parts that are not suitable for the United States and replace them with other jokes. The character of the character has undergone a major operation by him. After all, there is a big difference between China's implicit and American expression.

In the afternoon, filming officially started.

For this movie, Zhang Dongcheng, the filming location, arranged directly to the building where Dongcheng Films is located. Speaking of it, it can be regarded as a promotion for your company.

In the stairwell of the office building where Dongcheng Films is located, Nicholas was walking upstairs in a casual suit, a shoulder bag, and a pair of sunglasses on his cheek. Go all the way to the top floor and stand on the edge of the roof.

In this paragraph, his memories in the hospital will be mixed during the period, and will be added in when editing.

The current scene is relatively simple, and there is not even a dialogue. For Nicholas, these shots were completely small cases. As a result, the filming went extremely smoothly. Almost once, it's over soon.

Next, everyone directly withdrew from the office building. Came downstairs to a bank that had been negotiated a long time ago.

This bank belongs to East West Bank. As Zhang Dongcheng's partner, this kind of interstitial advertisement is naturally not for outsiders.

In this paragraph, there are just a few short shots of Nicolas Cage dressed up as an old man. It's almost entirely John Travolta's solo show. Focus on describing the image of the policeman John Travolta.

In the Hong Kong version of the dark war, Liu Qingyun was once a member of the Flying Tigers, but there is no Flying Tigers in the United States. Zhang Dongcheng simply changed it to L. a. p. d. Former Chief of SWAT in (LAPD)!

After the street was closed, Zhang Dongcheng came to Nicholas who was in the dressing room while the staff was setting up the studio, and said, "Hey, Nicholas, I hope you can study this character carefully. OK?"

"Of course!" Nicolas Cage shook the script in his hand and said, "Don't worry, director, I will be very careful!"

That's weird! Zhang Dongcheng secretly slandered in his heart, if this guy is talking about acting skills, he definitely has it. After all, he is an actor who can win an Oscar statuette. But one thing, he is really a headache, that is, his state is too unstable.

Habitually doing great in one film and terrible in the next, and even sometimes within the same film, his acting level fluctuated wildly. It makes people feel as if they are completely two people. When this kind of state is good, it is naturally informative, but when it is bad, Zhang Dongcheng has a big head.

"Okay! Nicholas, this is our first cooperation. I hope to have a happy start! Then, you study the script first, and I won't bother you!" As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dongcheng waved to Nicholas, Came to the director's position.

"OK! The filming will start next! Everyone take your place!"

Seeing that the set has been set up, Zhang Dongcheng greeted him with a loudspeaker.

Following his order, the staff of the crew took their positions, including lighting engineers, sound pickers, and photographers.

John and other actors have also entered the state.

"Action!" Seeing that everything was ready, Zhang Dongcheng shouted.

The siren sounded instantly.

John drove the car to the outside of the blockade, and after stopping the car on the spot, he got out of the car and walked down. At the same time, a man in police uniform quickly walked up to him and said, "Sir! The gangster is still inside, and Chief Andy is in the command vehicle!"

Hearing this, John nodded, ran over quickly, jumped into the command vehicle, and said to Andy who was sitting in the vehicle, "How is it? What's going on inside?"

"The suspect destroyed the closed-circuit television inside, and we couldn't see what's going on inside!" Andy, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, had a fat figure and looked like an official. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "We have no idea how many suspects and hostages there are!"

"Have you talked about it?" John nodded and asked casually.

"Twenty minutes ago!" Andy replied honestly.

These shots make it seem at first glance that John is the chief and Andy is the subordinate.
