Full-time actor

Chapter 403 [86] As expected of you, Mango Terrace!

creaking --

There was a violent friction sound between the tires and the ground. A white AE86 Toyota car with Fujiwara Takumi Store on it almost brushed the road pole of Akina Mountain in Gunma Prefecture and entered the next corner.

In the shot, there is not only the car, but also Chen Yu who is sitting in the driver's seat, leaning against the window with one hand and holding the steering wheel with the other, looking very casual and thinking about something.

His face was calm, his hands were steady, and his expression remained unchanged; only his body swayed slightly, which was because his driving foot was moving.

Other than that, Chen Yu sitting there seemed to be static.

This is not at all like the expression and movements that a racing driver who has just drifted into a corner should have.

"Click——"

Liu Weiqiang said loudly there, and Chen Yu, who was about to enter the next turn again, couldn't help but step on the brakes.

The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road.

The more material, the better. If this kind of shot can really be shot successfully, then all it takes is a little editing and adding some details to the scene; it will be easier to edit, and the plot will become smoother and more exciting. .

"Director Liu!"

Now, at least Chen Yu's drift driving and cornering shots can be perfectly displayed in one shot. It looks like real driving at first glance; it is very similar to some driving scenes in "The Fast and the Furious".

Although Chen Yu had actually driven this corner several times.

"..."

Liu Weiqiang asked, and Chen Yu shook his head: "No, Director Liu, that's what I thought!"

This scene was actually filmed by Keiichi Tsuchiya, Nobushige Kumakubo and Lei Shaolong in his previous life.

Liu Weiqiang raised his head and looked at Chen Yu's expression, thinking that the other person was not satisfied with what he had just filmed.

After Liu Weiqiang thought for a while, he smiled a little: "I don't care, I will use more film anyway!"

Of course he was talking about the climax and most exciting scene in the movie, the finale of the decisive battle between Fujiwara Takumi, Sudō Kyōichi, and Takahashi Ryosuke at Mount Akina.

There are many people around Liu Weiqiang, including Lei Shaolong, Tsuchiya Keiichi, and Kumakubo Nobushige. Of course, they are responsible for technical guidance and design of drifting actions. The wonderful drifting into the corner just shot by Chen Yu was Keiichi Tsuchiya’s idea. .

After listening to the translator, Keiichi Tsuchiya looked at Liu Weiqiang. He was the most skilled here and of course he had the right to speak.

Next to him, Nobushige Kumakubo also made a suggestion.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all understood Chen Yu's proposal.

"Then, do you want to simulate the racing scene at the end?"

Chen Yu came to Liu Weiqiang. Several people were discussing how to drive in the next corner to look beautiful and sexy. Sometimes Chen Yu would also participate in the discussion.

Chen Yu did not expect that Nobushige Kumakubo's ideas coincided with his; racing drivers really like to challenge themselves.

This is actually much better than the frustrating editing in his previous life. He was also like this in his previous life, but some actors must not have done it well enough.

It is to simulate real driving, and shoot it one shot at a time, just like a real racing live broadcast.

This requires actors to minimize mistakes, and their driving skills must be really superb. It's not that Chen Yu can't do it, but it may be a bit difficult.

This is actually a good thing, and Liu Weiqiang doesn't think it's anything.

"After all the scenes have been filmed, let's take a shot to the end!"

Three characters, three racer stand-ins.

Liu Weiqiang needs final editing to select the best version; and his shooting method is like this. Whether it is a solo racing scene or a racing scene with Edison Chen and Yu Wenle, he shoots every corner and section of the road. Then shoot the next section.

"I think you can try it!"

"What's wrong, Brother Yu?"

"Row!"

Then you can only find a substitute.

But forget about the supporting roles, they are limited to the starring roles; the audience will only watch the performance of the leading actors, who cares about a supporting role?
"Do you want to shoot that corner just now again?"

"After we have finished filming this Qiu Mingshan Mountain, we will try to shoot one scene in one shot. I want to restore what we shot before and shoot it from beginning to end. Is this considered an editing material? If it is good, it will not be released. Can it appear smoother afterward?”

"Okay, great, let's design the next curve!"

Liu Weiqiang did not refuse and agreed with Chen Yu's suggestion; the premise was that he could do it.

As for the danger, of course there is, but the speed does not need to be as fast as real drag racing, because the video can be accelerated, Chen Yu just needs to drive with that momentum.

With such a level of both acting and driving performance, he is probably the only one in the entire crew who can control it so easily.

But Chen Yu still felt that it was not enough.

Even if Edison Chen had such a request, he would agree that it is normal for actors to have high requirements for their own filming.

Of course Chen Yu did a great job.

After contacting Chen Yu in the past two days, he also knew that the other person had a certain level of driving.

This leads to the fact that even a corner scene is split into many details, such as the scene of the foot braking, the scene of the driver character in the car, and the scene of the car speeding through the corner... Although it is not a big deal when watching it. It feels good, but the excitement and fluency are actually greatly reduced.

Liu Weiqiang definitely agrees.

After these few days of shooting, he found that Chen Yu had very high requirements for the quality of the shooting; in many places that Liu Weiqiang thought was acceptable, Chen Yu would shoot several more times until he felt satisfied.

After everyone discussed the final shooting, they began to study the detours. Chen Yu was responsible for shooting his part first; then in this bend, he filmed the racing scene between Fujiwara Takumi and several other opponents.

This section of Akina Mountain Road was not just bumped once, but almost three times. If Fujiwara Takumi sent tofu, it would be even more.

Therefore, each section of the road had to be filmed almost ten times.

Single person, multiple people, three people... shot like this again and again.

Ten days flew by while filming.

The North American box office of "House of Flying Daggers" has finally declined. The market estimates that it will eventually reach 1.5 million. It has now taken 1.35 million US dollars at the box office, breaking the 2000 million US dollars created by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 1.3 for foreign language films in North America. The highest box office record, becoming the new North American box office champion of foreign language films.

As for the global box office, "House of Flying Daggers" has now exceeded 3 million US dollars, and is expected to eventually reach 3.2 million US dollars!
However, although this achievement can be called unprecedented, it did not make it into the top ten global box office of the year, ranking exactly 11th; currently in the 3.48th place is the Hollywood blockbuster "I, Robot" with a global box office of million. US dollars.

Moreover, it is one of the best schedules in North America at the end of the year, from Thanksgiving to Christmas, and there are several Hollywood blockbusters eyeing it.

Therefore, the position of "House of Flying Daggers" ranked 11th in the world is actually not safe.

Of course, the release schedule of "House of Flying Daggers" is actually not very good in North America.

To be able to win 1.5 million is already a very impressive achievement that shocked the world. As for domestically, "House of Flying Daggers" has already exceeded the 3 million yuan mark, with a final box office of 3.15 million.

It's also much worse than "Titanic".

This record of being the number one in Chinese film history is estimated to be difficult to break in a short time; in its previous life, it was broken by another Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers 11" in 2009, 2 years later.

The box office was 4.55 million yuan.

Chen Yu already knew these things a few days ago.

Therefore, "House of Flying Daggers" has become a thing of the past. His only hope now is to make a movie that can rank among the top ten box office movies in the world and break the terrifying record of "Titanic" as soon as possible.

Only in this way can he truly have an absolutely dominant box office appeal in China and become the same status as Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi in Hong Kong; and he can also be regarded as having a place in Hollywood.

"House of Flying Daggers" can only be regarded as a good start.

……

Squeak!

The tire tracks once again left a long trail on the mountain road.

Chen Yu drove the AE86 and finally reached the top of the mountain.

The entire racing scene in Qiu Mingshan has been filmed. According to Liu Weiqiang's original vision, Chen Yu can actually complete the filming like this.

However, according to the wishes of Chen Yu and others, there are still 4-5 one-shot scenes to be filmed. Chen Yu's solo tour of Qiu Mingshan is the easiest among these one-shot scenes.

"Then try to shoot one scene a day and finish it in a week!"

Liu Weiqiang said to Chen Yu who got out of the car. Chen Yu's driving skills have improved by leaps and bounds under the training of the drift king Keiichi Tsuchiya for so many days.

In the past, his level could be considered as an amateur master at most, which was definitely lower than Lei Shaolong; but now, the two people may be of equal strength.

Keiichi Tsuchiya taught Chen Yu a lot of racing skills.

Therefore, Chen Yu is still very confident about the next few one-shot scenes; there is no difficulty at all in solo circles.

In the end, the racing scene with Edison Chen's stand-in Tsuchiya Keiichi and Chen Xiaochun's stand-in Nobushige Kumakubo was actually the most difficult one to shoot.

After all, the opponents are two championship-level professional racing drivers.

Liu Weiqiang shot this scene last.

"Brother Yu, there is an urgent matter!"

Cao Yan came to Chen Yu who was taking off his makeup after work and said quickly: "Sister Qian just called me. Mango TV wants to invite you to attend this year's Golden Eagle Awards ceremony!"

"Moreover, you have been nominated for the Audience's Favorite Outstanding Actor and the Most Popular Actor of the Year!"

"Oh?"

Chen Yu smiled: "When? "Dragon Movie" was nominated?"

Of course Chen Yu had heard of the Golden Eagle Award.

The three major domestic TV awards are still valuable.

It's just that it's not very formal these days. It won't be until 2010 or later that the three major awards - Feitian, Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards - can truly be regarded as the awards that the emperor and queen deserve.

At present, it is completely a water prize.

However, the Golden Eagle is considered the most famous among the three current awards.

The Mango Taiwan Affairs Office is very impressive. In the next term of 06, there will be a Golden Eagle Goddess. Liu Yifei is the Golden Eagle Goddess of this term, that is, the first term.

This title has caused a stir for quite some time, and is also known as the most fitting Golden Eagle goddess in history.

"The 26th of this month!"

"It was indeed nominated by "Dragon Movie"!"

"On the 26th... we may not be able to catch up!"

At this time, Chen Yu doesn't know if he can finish filming "Initial D"!
However, Mango TV is really good at pulling off tricks. The reason for inviting him is just to use his popularity to increase the value of the Golden Eagle Award.

With his current popularity, the ratings for this edition of the Golden Eagle Awards will definitely hit a record high.

Moreover, Feitian and Magnolia were directly compared to each other.

It can be said that this move is an absolute masterstroke. It can turn the Golden Eagle Award into the only TV award in China, just like the Golden Rooster Award in the film industry.

Mango Terrace, indeed, had expert guidance.

Moreover, Chen Yu couldn't refuse. After all, Mango Channel is definitely the No. 1 TV station at present, and it will be the terminal that controls the traffic in the future. If you don't go, you will definitely get nothing good if you offend; if you build a good relationship now, in the future There are so many benefits.

Chen Yu knew this very well.

Liu Yifei was established as the Golden Eagle Goddess in her previous life for this reason, to take advantage of her fame at the time.

It is exactly the same as inviting Chen Yu now.

In terms of hype, Mango Channel definitely has no domestic rivals.

"Sister Qian asked you to call her. It seems that Mango Channel specially sent you an invitation. Sister Yifei also received it. They have set up a special honorary award for the male god and goddess. It is said that it is specially set for you two. , there is also a voting channel online, saying it is the most important reform this year!”

"Aha?"

After listening to Cao Yan's words, Chen Yu showed an expression like an old man on the bus looking at his mobile phone: "Goddess, Goddess?"

"Well, that's what Sister Qian told me, what are they called 'Golden Eagle God' and 'Golden Eagle Goddess'!"

"Originally, it seemed that only one of you was created, but there was a lot of controversy on the Internet. It was suggested that another goddess be created, so I made two!"

"..."

Damn it, my rebirth has brought forward the creativity of Mango Channel? !
In the previous life, there was only one Golden Eagle goddess, and it was not established until 06; in this life, Mango Channel actually arrived 2 years ahead of schedule, and even produced a Golden Eagle male god? ! !
As expected of you, Mango Terrace.

You really have a way to get traffic!
Now, Chen Yu had to go. It seemed that this thing was specially set up for him.

Mango Channel got the traffic, and Chen Yu got the popularity.

Win-win!

No wonder Ji Qiannan called Cao Yan so anxiously. Isn't this cooperation a door-to-door cooperation?
