The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 462 The Fourth Battle Scene
Wu Jing and Hong Jinbao came to visit the set and left after only half a day. They had to rush back to Bangkok to prepare "The Fall of Bangkok".

Li Shengyao invited the two of them to have a meal at the best hotel in Fengweihan City, Kaishan, and got several martial artists.

Hong Jinbao hoped that Lee Shing Yew would teach them and let them watch professional shooting of shootout scenes.

Li Shengyao didn't refuse, he naturally wouldn't teach, just let the martial artist from the family class take him with him.

Wu Jing and Hong Jinbao left, and the crew of "Sicario Sicario" continued to shoot the third battle scene.

Except for the first scene before nightfall, this scene is a night scene at other times, requiring the actors to wear night vision goggles.

Li Shengyao had already prepared for it. His requirements were the same as before, that is, to be professional, and to make the audience feel like watching real police and robbers fighting.

The third battle scene was relatively simple. They finished filming this battle scene in a week.

Then the crew entered the fourth battle scene.

Regarding the setting of this battle scene, Li Shengyao found a tactical expert from the Rongcheng Military Region through Lei Min's relationship to design, and at the same time asked the martial arts masters of the family class to design a set.

In the end, when the results came out, he chose the combat plan of the master in the Rongcheng Military Region.

That is, the police captured the drug den in the dark.

In this battle, the police will arrange snipers in high positions, and then use bulletproof shields.

At the beginning, they would quickly deal with the gangsters guarding the gate, then in groups of two and two, enter the villa of the drug lord through the cover of bulletproof shields, and then step by step, quickly sweep the entire villa.

Like the previous three battle scenes, the actors also required a lot of rehearsal before filming.

The martial artists from the Chengjia class and Hongjia class repeatedly taught the actors how to move and various professional combat moves.

This afternoon, the sky in Kaishan Fengweihan City was faint, and it looked like it was going to rain.

However, until the evening, it still did not rain.

In order to find the feeling of shooting, the crew of "Sicario Sicario" changed their working hours a long time ago. The first and second battles were filmed during the day, and the third and fourth battles were filmed at night.

Actors come to the set from six o'clock in the afternoon.

So after nightfall, the actors were rehearsing.

Li Shengyao could actually relax a little bit at this time, but he still came to the set and sat on the side to observe the performance of the actors.

Just then, he saw an unexpected guest.

But it was his old friend, Warner executive Toby Emmerich.

"Toby, why are you getting old?"

"Li, it's all for you, you need to know my sincerity."

A moment later, under a dim incandescent lamp, Li Shengyao poured Toby a cup of tea.

"Come on, have a cup of tea and warm yourself up."

Laos has entered the dry season, but this period of time does not mean that it is very hot, it can only be said that there is relatively little rain.

Toby raised his teacup and drank it down. He noticed that Zhang Ziyi was rehearsing in the distance, and he was a little surprised.

"The actors are so serious, they are still rehearsing so late."

"It's okay, mainly because we adjusted our working hours."

Toby nodded, then put down the teacup, and said seriously: "Li, this time I'm here, I mainly want to ask you, are you planning to start the sequel of "The Hangover?"

Lee Sung Yew previously filmed "The Hangover", which was a collaboration with Disney at the time, with a global box office of more than 4 million, which was able to be filmed in the top ten of the year.

The copyright of the film is in his hands, and he has the final say on whether to make a sequel or not.

This movie has no big scenes, low cost, mainly some shit jokes, and it is definitely a project that can make money.

Toby had asked Li Shengyao before, and Li Shengyao said at the time that he would not start it quickly, so he believed Dao Li's words.

Facts have proved that Li Shengyao is indeed very foresighted. The Chinese film market is growing rapidly. Toby predicts that in one or two years, China will be able to produce movies worth more than [-] million dollars.

But recently in Los Angeles, he heard that Disney intends to cooperate with Lee Sing Yew again, and the two parties will work together to produce "The Hangover 2".

Hearing the news, Toby found Li Shengyao's location without saying a word, and rushed over immediately.

Although Lee Sung Yew collaborated with Disney when filming "The Hangover 1", it doesn't mean that Warner can't cut it.

So Toby hurried over.

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, "I don't plan to start the "Hangover 2" project now, you can find me next year, Hollywood Six, I will give priority to Warner."

Since Lee Sung Yew does not intend to continue directing "The Hangover 23", and the film will be filmed and released in the beautiful country, it is natural to find a big company in Hollywood to cooperate with.

Whether it's Warner or Disney, he doesn't really trust it.

He hopes to find a Hollywood director by himself, and then his own company will organize the shooting and publicity.

As for the Hollywood Six, it is enough to help with global distribution.

Of course, in order to prevent them from making trouble, he will give [-]% or [-]% of the copyright.

But even so, these vampires in Hollywood may not agree.

Lee Sung Yew's previous cooperation model with Warner was that he directed the film himself.

He is not a director, and Warner may not recognize it.

The reason why he said to think about it next year is naturally because "Avatar" will appear. By then, the box office will be [-] billion, almost [-] million US dollars. The box office of a single country is second only to the beautiful country, surpassing France, Great Britain, and Italy. benefit such a film market.

Moreover, "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Sugar Mountain Earthquake" both have a box office of more than 6 million, which is almost [-] million US dollars.

It can be said that after 2010, the mainland market is enough for Hollywood to pay attention.

Lee Sheng Yew has energy in the mainland, he will have more power to speak, and Hollywood companies will calm down and listen to him.

Toby was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "You, there are rumors in Hollywood that you want to cooperate with Disney?"

"It's fake, I don't have this plan, I won't start this project until next year at the earliest, and I won't be a director."

"Okay, I see what you mean."

Li Shengyao smiled, and then chatted with Toby, talking about some recent events.

The biggest event in the beautiful country this year is the death of Michael Jackson.

This once the most powerful singer in the world was boycotted and slandered by the people of the beautiful country during his lifetime. After his death, his word of mouth changed overnight.

Everyone has become his fans, and several big Hollywood companies are contacting Jackson's family to help make a Michael Jackson documentary.

This documentary will be released next year, with a box office of more than 5000 million in the mainland, and the cumulative global box office should be nearly [-] million US dollars.

I have to say that Beautiful Country Capital is hypocritical and disgusting.

When Toby talked with Lee Sheng Yew, he would also pay attention to the actors who were rehearsing. It was very interesting to see them walking forward with bulletproof shields.

"Li, can your new film be released worldwide?"

"Yes, but the box office may not be very good. I mainly focus on the mainland market."
