"Rush Hour" cast.

Linda wanted to shoot a very difficult group, requiring Xu Kai to quickly climb up to the second floor from the ground with his bare hands, and then climb to the balcony of the third floor and jump to another building.

After hearing Linda's thoughts, Brett Ratner shook his head, thinking that the action Linda requested was impossible to complete.

——Actually, it’s not surprising that Brett Ratner thinks so. In fact, the appearance of this building is too smooth, and there is no way to use it. In addition, the lifting frame is extremely high. It is impossible for ordinary people to do this. action.

Moreover, Brett Ratner is a director who pursues reality, and he can't accept the exaggerated shooting techniques in Chinese film and television dramas.

However, Lin Da had great confidence in Xu Kai, thinking that such an action was not a problem for Xu Kai at all, so he insisted on his own ideas.

The two soon fell into a quarrel.

Linda's English is not good, and Brett Ratner's Chinese is not good. The two had a quarrel and had to bring two translators.

So, Linda and Brett Ratner quarreled, and it was a mess.

In fact, Linda and Brett Ratner have been feuding for a long time.

The reason lies in this co-directing.

Linda always believed that he was the chief director of "Rush Hour", Brett Ratner was only assisting him in coordinating the staff and actors of the Beautiful Country, and Brett Ratner had to listen to him.

And Brett Ratner is a famous Hollywood director with strength, fame, and box office appeal, so he naturally feels that he is the chief director of "Rush Hour", and Linda is just his assistant.

Brett Ratner also thinks that his salary is 1000 million higher than Linda's, which is proof.

Besides, Linda, although his salary is 1000 million lower than Brett Ratner's, but he is one of the managers and the producer, and his status is definitely not lower than Brett Ratner's.

Even, Linda kept thinking that if they hadn't made a movie in Hollywood, he would have fired the bastard Brett Ratner a long time ago.

Let's talk about Brett Ratner, he has the support of New Line Films, Xu Kai and the Chinese people who can't get around, so he is not afraid of Linda at all.

The key point is that Linda is a stubborn old man. When he was making movies in China, he didn't even sell the producer's face, and Brett Ratner was also a stone in the latrine, smelly and hard.

As a result, Linda and Brett Ratner fell into irreconcilable conflicts shortly after the shooting of "Rush Hour".

Stakeholders therefore had to meet to discuss solutions to the problem.

Substitution?

Linda, as one of the employers, is definitely impossible to be replaced. Besides, Linda is still counting on "Rush Hour" to help him become famous in Hollywood, so he cannot be willing to be replaced, and Xu Kai can't just sit back and watch Linda as an old man. Friends are replaced.

And New Line Films trusts Brett Ratner very much, and it is impossible to completely hand over the Hollywood film "Rush Hour" to Linda, a Chinese director. This will lead to, if Linda and the others insist on replacing Brett Ratner, then it is possible to engage in the project of "Rush Hour", which they have finally brokered.

Since they couldn't change people, they had to find someone who could reconcile the conflict between Linda and Brett Ratner.

Therefore, Xu Kai put on the name of the director of "Rush Hour" again, and co-directed "Rush Hour" with Linda and Brett Ratner.

There are many reasons why the three parties chose Xu Kailai to co-direct Rush Hour with Linda and Brett Ratner:
First of all, of course, Xu Kai's English is very good, so good that he has no problem communicating with anyone from the beautiful country.

Secondly, Xu Kai is not only an old friend with Linda for many years. Linda listens to Xu Kai very much. After joining the group, Xu Kai also got along very well with Brett Ratner. Brett Ratner even invited Xu Kai Went to see a striptease.

Besides, Xu Kaiqi is one of the leading actors of "Rush Hour", and he is also a very successful director. His title of first commercial director is also useful in Hollywood--people who are not qualified and not professional enough They couldn't convince Linda and Brett Ratner, two old stubborn people.

What's more, Xu Kai, who is making four movies at the same time and has to direct one movie himself, is very busy, and it is impossible to fight for power with Linda and Brett Ratner, two guys who like authoritarianism, let Linda and Brett . Ratner is relieved.

In addition, Xu Kai has a very high emotional intelligence and ability, and he can always find a way to appease Linda and Brett Ratner.

In the end, Xu Kai became the third director of "Rush Hour" almost unanimously.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Kai to be a director for nothing - he received another 500 million handsome gold, and his film salary reached 2000 million beautiful gold.

Xu Kai is also worthy of the extra 500 million salary.

With Xu Kai in the middle of the communication, the conflict between Linda and Brett Ratner was easily resolved, and the crew of "Rush Hour" was also on the right track.

At the same time, after Xu Kai summarized and reconciled Linda and Brett Ratner's thoughts, he gave Linda and Brett Ratner a lot of pertinent and even eye-catching suggestions.

And once Linda and Brett Ratner have conflicts, Xu Kai can always find a way to appease the two stubborn donkeys.

like now.

Xu Kai smiled and said to Brett Ratner: "Brett, I'll do it first. If it goes well, we'll start the filming. If it doesn't go well, we have nothing to lose, right?"

Hearing what Xu Kai said, Brett Ratner shrugged and agreed to let Xu Kai try.

And Linda smiled profoundly.

Then, Xu Kai took a deep breath, jumped up three steps from the run-up, stepped on the wall with one foot, and at the same time his body used his strength to rise, his right hand had already reached the railing on the second floor, and then turned over like an ape hanging from the railing.

Xu Kai didn't pause at all. After reaching the second floor, he stepped on the railing and jumped. He had already stepped on the window sill on the second floor, and soon went up to the balcony on the third floor.Then there is a run-up and jump, landing on another building, rolling and unloading, and completing the whole set of movements without stopping.

Seeing this scene, Brett Ratner and all the people from the beautiful country were all dumbfounded.

After a moment of reaction, the crew burst into warm applause.

And Xu Kai's partner Chris Tucker made a set of Hip Hop gestures with Xu Kai tacitly after Xu Kai jumped off.

Sophie March could tell that Xu Kai had won the respect of all the crew members.

As a foreigner who also came to Hollywood, Sophie March knew exactly how difficult it is to win the respect of these beautiful Chinese people who look above their heads.

It can be said that Claude Binodo, the leading director in the romantic country, has not yet been recognized by the beautiful people.

And, don't forget, although Claude Binodo is not a beautiful Chinese, he is also a Westerner-it is much easier for a beautiful Chinese to recognize a Westerner than any Easterner.

This also shows Xu Kai's excellence.

Thinking of Xu Kai's miraculous movements just now, Sophie March suddenly felt that "Rush Hour" might not be the muscle movie she imagined.

"At least that's not what other people can do, is it?"

To Sophie March's surprise, Xu Kai's filming speed is very fast-after the film is being trial-produced, there are almost no NGs due to Xu Kai's reasons. Xu Kai can always do Linda and Brett Ratner The two directors asked him to do anything. It can be said that as long as others do not make mistakes, Xu Kai can almost do it alone, very efficient.

Because Xu Kai is very efficient, the filming of the "Rush Hour" crew, which was expected to take a whole day to finish, took only half a day.

After declining Brett Ratner's proposal to go to a strip bar for a drink, Xu Kai brought Sophie March to the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" and filmed "Detective Chinatown 2" for a long time.

In the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2", Sophie March saw Xu Kai's side as a director.

Unlike Claude Binodo, who always likes to yell in the crew, Xu Kai is very kind, but the effect of Xu Kai's direction is much better than Claude Binodo's.

——Xu Kai's words are like imperial edicts in the "Detective Chinatown 2" crew. There is absolutely no difference in what they say, and the people in the "Detective Chinatown 2" crew, whether they are Chinese or beautiful, all respect Xu Kai. Kai's orders were executed without compromise, and the entire crew seemed so methodical, and progressed rapidly.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, today's filming of "Detective Chinatown 2" is almost done, and then Xu Kai is directing the finale of the director, while arranging the work for tomorrow's filming.

Sophie March noticed that when Xu Kai arranged tomorrow's work, he first arranged the work of beautiful Chinese people, and fixed their working hours.

That is to say, no accident, the work of the beautiful Chinese will definitely be completed tomorrow, and it will be completed as soon as possible.

But Xu Kai had to be more flexible in arranging the work of the Chinese people, and explained to all the staff, including the two male protagonists, that they should be on call at any time, and the expected workload was also very flexible.

In Sophie March's mind, if Xu Kai arranges work like this, he will definitely be resisted by the Chinese people, because this is obviously a double standard.

But what made Sophie March dumbfounded was that no Chinese questioned Xu Kai's work arrangement.

What Sophie March didn't know was that Xu Kai's arrangement of work seemed unfair to the Chinese people, but first of all, Xu Kai's status in the Huaguo entertainment circle was too detached, so that these people needed to be mixed in the Huaguo entertainment circle. It's too late to flatter Xu Kai, so how could he question Xu Kai's actions?
The point is, everyone knows that Xu Kai never treats his people badly. If they suffer, Xu Kai will definitely give them more compensation.

In other words, Xu Kai is completely business-like towards the beautiful Chinese people, and acts according to the contract. No matter how much money Xu Kai earns, he will not give them a dime, while the Chinese people may get extra money from Xu Kai. Red envelope.

In short, the people of the Hua Kingdom knew that they would not suffer from Xu Kai's advice, and the people of the Beautiful Country were also very satisfied that Xu Kai respected their way of working.

Hello, hello, hello everyone, the filming of "Detective Chinatown 2" naturally went very smoothly.

After finishing the work of the "Detective Chinatown 2" crew and arranging tomorrow's work, Xu Kai took Sophie March into the luxury car that Yang Xinchun specially rented for Xu Kai—they were going to "The Grandmaster 4" "The crew filmed a night scene.

The "Grandmaster 4" crew is not currently filming mainly in Chinatown like the "Lover's First Kiss" crew, "Rush Hour" crew and "Chinatown Detective 2" crew, but in the aboriginal tribes on the outskirts of Manhattan.

On the way, Sophie March thought that Xu Kai would take a break. After all, she saw it with her own eyes, and Xu Kai had been busy all day.

But what Sophie March didn't expect was that Xu Kai took out "Farewell My Concubine" again and began to review the post-production work.

Seeing Xu Kai's assistants, bodyguards, and other entourage who have been running around with Xu Kai all day rest or take turns to rest, only Xu Kai seems to be working tirelessly all the time, Sophie March is really driven by Xu Kai's energy I was shocked.

At the same time, Sophie March was also shocked by Xu Kai's time management ability, not wasting even the slightest bit of time.

——Sophie March, who ran with Xu Kai silently for a whole day, saw with her own eyes that Xu Kai did everything in an orderly and orderly manner. They happily sent some messages, the key point is that none of these things affected Xu Kai's work.

Sophie March looked at Xu Kai and thought: "This man is really a master of time management! No, he is a master of time management!"

This made Sophie Marche more curious about Xu Kai, a mysterious man.

Prompted by this curiosity, Sophie March quietly came behind Xu Kai, and then quietly looked at Xu Kai who was working.

However, Sophie March's attention was quickly attracted by "Farewell My Concubine", which was almost finished in front of Xu Kai.

——The editing of "Farewell My Concubine" has been completed, and only the post-production color correction is left.

In fact, Xu Kai also asked a master to finish the color grading in the later stage, and he only needs to make the final fine-tuning.

So "Farewell My Concubine" is already a complete movie.

The version of "Farewell My Concubine" in Xu Kai's hands is going to the romantic country Cannes (Cannes) to win an award, so it just happens to have French subtitles.

It is precisely because of this that Sophie March can understand "Farewell My Concubine".

Looking at it, Sophie March, who admires art, couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

Seeing that Sophie March was fascinated, Xu Kai paused the fine-tuning and made Sophie March the first audience of "Farewell My Concubine".

Since he couldn't work anymore, Xu Kai simply pulled Sophie March to his seat and sat down, then went to the sofa to meditate and rest for a while.

When Xu drove the RV to the set of "The Grand Master 4", "Farewell My Concubine" hadn't finished playing.

Xu Kai glanced at Sophie March whose eyes were already red from crying, didn't call her, but took the others out of the car, and then devoted himself to the filming of "The Grandmaster 4"...

Besides, Sophie March, when she saw "Farewell My Concubine", she started to cry, even though she didn't understand Peking opera at all.

At the end where Cheng Dieyi slayed herself, Sophie March broke her defenses completely, and tears rushed out like a spring.

—— "Farewell My Concubine" has strong emotions, twists and turns, and is full of dramatic conflicts of life and death. The versatility and richness of the disaster, the power of humanity contained in it and the wonderful performances of the actors, all of which completely conquered Sophie March.

Sophie March feels that this is the most artistic film she has been looking for.

Since Sophie March didn't see the meeting, after watching it, Sophie March rewinded the film back to the beginning.

Then, Sophie March discovered to her surprise that the director of "Farewell My Concubine" was Xu Kai, the producer was Xu Kai, the screenwriter was Xu Kai, the editor was Xu Kai, the soundtrack was Xu Kai, and even the chief conductor of the post-production It's Xu Kai.

At this time, Sophie March remembered the man who had aroused her curiosity just now.

For some reason, Sophie March suddenly wanted to see Xu Kai!

Looking around, how can there be Xu Kai here?
Sophie March got out of the RV quickly, and then ran straight to the set without asking where the bodyguards around the RV were Xu Kai.

It was also a coincidence that when Sophie March ran to the set, she happened to see Xu Kai defeating many beautiful country aborigines without resorting to Wia.

In the past, Sophie March would definitely feel that Xu Kai's exaggerated fighting style was fake and meaningless, and she would dismiss it.

But at this time, Sophie March felt that Xu Kai was so chic and handsome, and even the strange braid on Xu Kai's head was very interesting to her.

Sophie March said to herself: "Others are fake, but his is real. He really knows Huaguo Kung Fu. Look, how healthy and strong he is. Those aborigines are not his at all." Opponent, it's so charming!"
