Actor: Thank you.

I want to ask foreigners, especially white people, do they really not understand action scenes?

Yes!
The answer is definitely yes!

Before a large number of Hong Kong martial arts directors and actors went to Hollywood to assist in filming, the action scenes in the entire North American film market were basically a mess.

The GIF animations are smoother than their action scenes.

So Uncle Long’s suggestion to let Zhang Yuan do something exaggerated makes a lot of sense.

They don’t understand boiled cabbage, but some Maoxuewang can make them happy... That’s about it.

Zhang Yuan also cooperated well and performed the scene of hitting the beer bottle with a stick.

But that's not enough!
He knew it in his heart.

You must seize every opportunity to show off and never leave any black history.

Because you never know who will be interested in you, and you never know when and by whom your audition video will be found.

So he planned to do another big thing.

"Brother, help me." Zhang Yuan asked his assistant to take out a cigarette and greeted the cameraman who was filming him with a camera.

No matter where you are from, as long as you smoke, passing cigarettes is the most direct means of communication.

"It will be like this for a while..."

"Ok?"

"Sure." The cameraman said he understood.

Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry.

He first performed a full set of Tongbeiquan.

Tongbeiquan is considered to be the more "exaggerated" form of boxing.

After all, when they start fighting, there is a crackling sound, just like firecrackers.

You use Shaolin Kung Fu and Hung Gar Kung Fu in your fighting, and foreigners can't understand the techniques behind them.

Clap, clap, clap... As soon as he finished hitting, Uncle Long started clapping again.

good looking.

Not only the punches are good looking, the man is good looking too!

And it's neat and smooth.

Just ...

Uncle Long seemed to see a hint of his old rival Li Lianjie in his boxing moves.

After all, Zhang Yuan had also taken advantage of Lao Li, so he was right.

"Next is the leg technique." Zhang Yuan clasped his fist towards the camera.

The cameraman then adjusted the focus of the camera, zoomed in the lens, and stepped back a few steps.

At the same time, the assistant who had just gone to the supermarket to purchase goods also took out a bottle of Coke from his plastic bag.

Coca-Cola, it’s so authentic!
Not only did he take it out, the assistant also raised his hand and shook it vigorously.

Everyone knows that Coke is something you can't shake.

The Coke after shaking is just like Teacher Yuan Quan, it sprays easily...

Zhao Xunxun also didn't understand why her boss asked her to do this.

But she's used to it.

The boss at home always has some new ideas, so just do what he says.

"Come on, lift it up."

"Stretch your arms straight."

"Is the cameraman aiming?"

Seeing that both of them were ready, Zhang Yuan took quick steps on the spot and stretched his legs.

Then stretch the tendons in the thighs and hips.

He lifted his leg and measured the distance.

"Okay, I'm ready."

"Attention, cameraman... I'm coming!"

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and moved his body at the fastest speed.

While lifting your right leg, use your left heel as the center of the circle.

Use your waist to drive your body and quickly rotate clockwise.

The right leg was raised as he turned, drawing a perfect arc in the air.

This is a standard back kick and spinning kick!
The height of Zhang Yuan’s kick was at least two meters!

And when he kicked in front of the assistant, the sole of his shoe accurately rubbed the mouth of the held-up Coke bottle!
Driven by this tremendous force, the bottle cap spun rapidly, and in less than half a second it broke free from the bottle mouth and flew out.

But it’s not just the bottle cap that has escaped from the bottle!
The Coke just now was deliberately passed by.

Once the obstruction of the bottle cap disappeared, under the dual effects of carbon dioxide and pressure difference, the dark brown translucent liquid soared up and surged out.

boom!
Only a muffled sound was heard.

After Zhang Yuan’s kick, a Coke fountain more than one meter high shot straight into the sky!

"Huh..." Zhang Yuan stopped.

"Did you get it?"

“Record, I got it…” The cameraman was shocked by the scene.

The move Zhang Yuan performed became the famous bottle cap challenge in later generations.

The only difference is that he was not only more than ten years ahead, but also enhanced the visual effects.

After all, kicking mineral water is not as shocking as kicking Coke.

No one present understood what he was doing before.

When Zhang Yuan borrowed the crew's monitor and plugged in the camera to watch the playback, everyone understood.

Especially after slowing down his movements eight times, watching the bottle cap fly out of the camera range little by little.

The Coke rushed out of sight with foam like a sea tornado. The effect was really exaggerated!
"Wow!" Er Dongsheng exclaimed in amazement.

What he admired was not the gorgeous movements, but the powerful camera language.

The previous change in the shot where methadone fell to the ground made him realize that Zhang Yuan had the ability to design shots.

Now this audition video further proves that he has his own unique understanding of the language of the camera.

"I hope this kid won't come and steal my food one day..." Director Er muttered.

"Okay, this part is very good!" Uncle Long gave him a thumbs up.

Uncle Long sighed inwardly, thinking that he might not be able to do it now.

Even if you can do it, you can't kick it that high or that beautifully.

Thinking of this, he cursed the black guy Chris Tucker with a bunch of restrictive words in his heart.

Because of his mischief and the exorbitant price, the film could not be shot.

Uncle Long can no longer fight now.

Of course, he is less able to fight than before.

In fact, when filming "New Police Story" with A Zu, the eldest brother had already discovered that many actions that he could do easily before were now difficult.

Because he was 50 years old when he filmed "New Police Story"!

For an average person at the age of 50, it is considered healthy if his urine does not split.

The big brother, who was covered with old injuries, had to shoot difficult fighting scenes.

Uncle Long’s mind is now filled with the words “young people are to be feared”.

He immediately removed the memory card, planning to return to the company to copy it and then return it to the crew.

A-Zu was watching his operation and his face tightened.

They seem to be professionals!

No wonder I had to use more force when filming just now.

Thinking about how he had told others that he had practiced it before, A-Zu blushed.

He felt even more upset when he heard his eldest brother say that he wanted to take the short film to Hollywood to show it to the film company.

I want to go too...

Although he is American, it is quite convenient for him to go to Hollywood.

But this going is not that going.

Who doesn't want to make a name for themselves in Hollywood?

But after listening from the side, I felt better knowing that Uncle Long only asked Zhang Yuan to play a guest role.

After all, I am the protagonist of this film and the other party is just a supporting role.

Next, I prepared for the afternoon's scenes and everything went on as usual.

Before the filming started in the afternoon, Zhang Yuan went to the bathroom to flush the toilet as usual to avoid wasting time going to the toilet when filming started.

But just as he was heading to the bathroom, Uncle Long gave his assistant a look.

The male assistant nodded in understanding and followed.

sizzle.

Unzipping the zipper and taking out the tools, Zhang Yuan stood in front of a white porcelain urine bag and started working.

Uncle Long's assistant also entered the men's restroom and stood next to him.

This person also followed the same process and started to release the water.

But she kept glancing at him.

As he glanced at it, he was stunned.

It was as if he had seen something that was unbelievable to him.

Seeing him transformed into a "crotch-staring cat", Zhang Yuan turned away with some disgust.

"Could this guy be a gay..." he was wary.

So after peeing, I ran away quickly.

The assistant was so shocked that he didn't come to his senses until he found that he had peed his foot.

Shaking off his shoes, the man took out a small plastic bag and a handful of cotton swabs from his pocket with a bit of disgust.

Then he went to the urine bag that Zhang Yuan had just used, dipped the cotton swab everywhere until it was completely wet, and then put it into a plastic bag.

When he returned to Uncle Long, Zhang Yuan had already gone to the set to start filming.

"Did you get it?"

"Yeah." The assistant nodded. "What does your expression mean?" Uncle Long asked when he saw that the assistant looked upset.

"This kid is not an ordinary person."

"I knew it a long time ago. He's very powerful."

"You may not know enough..." the assistant replied with a twisted look.

After Uncle Long said hello to Director Er, he got in the car and left.

Instead of going home, he took his assistant to a private hospital.

And all the cotton swabs collected just now were taken for testing.

What are they doing?

Urine test!

A few hours later.

"Are the results out?" Uncle Long saw the assistant returning with the report.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Out."

"How about it?"

"I'm in great health."

"no problem?"

"completely fine."

Uncle Long breathed a sigh of relief after getting the definite answer.

"So he really was acting."

"This pink boy's image is so good!"

Uncle Long did this because he was afraid that Zhang Yuan would get too deeply into the role, so deeply that he would actually experience Hai X Yin himself.

If he was really contaminated with drugs, he couldn't let him appear in "Rush Hour 3".

After all, he is still planning to release the film in mainland China now.

"That's good, it means his level is very high!" The eldest brother recalled the performance he saw in the morning and couldn't help but praise it.

I also remembered that Zhang Yuan said last night that he would take the script of "Rush Hour 3" to see Mr. Yang from China Film Group.

It was also refreshing to ask him to help promote the "Baby Project" in which he only made a cameo appearance.

Uncle Long thinks.

"Well acted, beautifully fought."

"It's such a waste to just make a cameo appearance!"

In Hong Kong, while the filming of the movie "The Disciples" was in progress, the eldest brother brought the short film shot by Zhang Yuan back to the company.

I roughly edited it myself.

Big Brother is well-known in the industry for loving to edit his own videos.

He is also a well-known quick shooter who can edit more than ten minutes of film footage by himself in one night.

When filming "Rush Hour 1", director Brett Ratner was a greenhorn who had only made one film that was released.

When they arrived at the set, Uncle Long discovered that the young man knew basically nothing about action scenes.

Actually, you can't blame him for this. As I said before, the entire Hollywood action scene would be a mess without the Hong Kong martial arts directors.

But there is one good thing about Brett Ratner: he listens to advice!
He is the kind of director who will do whatever he can.

Instead of being the kind of guy who says, "If I can't do it, no one else can do it."

When filming a scene where Uncle Long was squeezed between two containers, the director thought for a long time and decided to let the props team make a mechanical device to complete the scene.

It will cost about $500,000 and take about a month.

When the eldest brother saw it, he thought, why bother?
He asked the martial artists from the Cheng family to push the container manually. After coordinating the speed, Uncle Long grabbed the edge of the container and pushed up, rushing up just before he was about to be crushed.

This difficult shot, which is considered difficult in the eyes of foreigners, was completed in just one night.

My forehead was sweating as I looked at the director.

I thought to myself, no wonder when I went to the insurance company, as soon as I heard that it was to buy filming insurance for Chen Long, the bosses of the company all shook their heads like rattles...

This is not the end yet. Uncle Long rushed back to Golden Harvest’s office overnight and cut out this footage.

The next day, I asked the director to watch the results of last night's shooting.

The director was completely convinced after watching it.

After that, most of the crew's action scenes, from storyboards to scheduling, and then to action design, all followed the lead of Uncle Long.

The reason why Chen Long has become the top Chinese movie star is not only because of his top-notch mobility and energy, but also because of his unparalleled ambition.

Wherever he went, he held his breath.

Even when facing foreigners, he wants to prove that he is better than others.

That's why those white people respect him.

At this moment, he took the edited short film to the New Line Cinema office building at 244 th Street in New York City.

What many people don’t know is that New Line, a film company famous for its low-cost horror films, is actually a sister company of Warner Bros.

They both belong to Time Warner.

In the conference room, Uncle Long watched the short film recorded by Zhang Yuan together with several senior participants from New Line Cinema in the "Rush Hour 3" project, including producers, directors, production, screenwriters, casting, and several company managers.

"Oh!!!"

When the film showed Zhang Yuan hitting a beer bottle with a stick, the foreigners exclaimed in surprise.

How exciting!
If it were put directly into the movie, it would be a fight scene with extremely good effects.

When the Tongbeiquan segment started, although the reaction was not as strong as the previous stick technique segment, several people still applauded.

"Everyone, pay attention!" Uncle Long reminded in English, and then everyone saw the scene on the screen where he kicked the bottle cap and the Coke splashed.

"Wow!!!"

“Fantastic!”

"Unbelievable!"

These foreigners were all stunned!
There was even someone who had been to China and said something in not very standard Chinese.

"New Bee!"

Seeing the foreigners staring in amazement, Uncle Long's eyes wrinkled with joy.

He just likes to see foreigners who have never seen the world!

"That's why he's so great."

"Obviously much smarter than young people of the same age!"

“He knows how to catch people’s attention.”

The eldest brother secretly praised in his heart.

"One More TIME!"

"One More TIME!"

"One More TIME..."

This group of people didn't even get enough of it and kept shouting that they wanted to see it again.

After watching it five or six times in a row, these white people finally clapped and cheered in satisfaction, and the conference room felt like a concert.

"Jackie." Director Ratner looked at Uncle Long and asked.

"Is this the Chinese actor you plan to bring in to play the guest role of the killer?"

"Yes." The eldest brother replied generously.

"I agree!" The director was the first to express his position.

However, Hollywood adopts the standard producer responsibility system.

The producer has more power than the director on the set.

So after Ratner expressed his opinion, he turned and looked at producer Roger Birnbaum standing beside him.

This producer is quite a big shot.

Uncle Long is the producer of all of his Hollywood movies.

He was also the producer of Memoirs of a Geisha.

Not only Chinese films are often directed by him,

The famous "Bruce Almighty" series is also his work.

When he saw the director looking at him, he nodded.

"I agree."

"Me too."

"I think he's very nice."

"Nice Chinese..."

It was just a cameo role as a killer, and the part he played wasn't that important.

It’s Chen Long’s fault.

Plus, judging from this short clip, the image and skills are indeed amazing, so there is no reason to disagree.

"Well, Jackie, we welcome this young man to the production."

"You can inform him now."

"Our company will also send him emails and call him."

"Then, let's talk about why you called us all here today. Is there something important going on?"

He's just a minor supporting role, so there's no need to mobilize a large force.

Uncle Long stood up from his seat, stood in front of the screen, and pointed at Zhang Yuan who was doing a high kick.

"I called you all here today to talk about him."

"Him?" The producer frowned. "Haven't we already talked about him?"

"No." Uncle Long gestured, "I think he has more than just the ability to be a killer."

"So what do you mean?" All the foreigners present became serious.

"My idea is..." The eldest brother came to a wall of the conference room.

This small conference room is specially used for "Rush Hour 3", and the walls are covered with various "big-character posters" and photos.

And a complete set of character relationship diagrams.

Uncle Long raised his hand and pointed to the place where the word "BOSS" was written.

"I think he can play the villain in the movie!" (End of this chapter)
