Actor: Thank you.

The main filming locations for "Rush Hour 3" were set in Los Angeles and Paris.

Paris later.

It is also a white world, but the cost of filming in Paris is so expensive even for Americans.

The old capitalist regions are different.

After landing at Los Angeles International Airport.

Even though it was first class, the flight of more than ten hours made him feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, super-jumbo airliners like the A380 have not yet been delivered, and the largest is only the Boeing 747.

This model is rarely seen in China, as direct international flights mostly use Boeing 777.

This plane is only slightly larger than an A380 and does not have much space.

Zhang Yuan thought that once the A380 was launched, he would definitely have to take it when traveling across countries.

Not only can you lie down, some high-end airlines even have bars and full-size in-flight bathrooms.

In the crew's shuttle bus, the assistant holding the tourist map turned around when he heard Zhang Yuan complaining about the uncomfortable plane ride.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, if it really doesn't work, why don't you just buy a plane yourself? It will definitely be more comfortable."

Zhang Yuan: …

If he didn't understand Zhao Xinxin's character, he would really think that the other party was mocking him.

"You really think highly of me."

The assistant is also simple.

I followed him before and heard him bragging at the dinner table, saying that an airplane could be bought for tens of millions.

Those tens of millions of dollars are second-hand small passenger planes that can only fly short distances domestically.

And that doesn't even include crew wages, refueling, maintenance, repairs, parking fees, etc...

The most famous artist in China who bought a plane should be Uncle Benshan.

People on the Internet said that he bought a private jet.

But in fact, this is a misunderstanding.

He bought more than one...

Although Mr. Zhao always looks rustic on the screen, he actually has a very clear mind.

In terms of wisdom, this person is at least one level higher than Teacher Guo.

After this man's company became bigger and he started to take in apprentices, he realized that he came from a lower class and lacked the ability.

So he went to study at a business school which was very popular at that time.

First, it improves management capabilities, and second, it allows you to make connections.

In the business school, I heard that a classmate wanted to start a private jet company, the kind that rents out planes.

Teacher Zhao also invested and bought a few planes.

The result was not very successful and it was a failure.

Anyway, several planes were downed, and the parking fee alone would be tens of thousands per day.

Therefore, not counting the price of an aircraft itself, the annual maintenance and operating costs would be at least several hundred to tens of millions.

"Well, I'll think about it. Maybe in a few years..."

People always have to have some pursuits and goals.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, does this foreign crew really have weekends off?" Zhao Xunxun had been following him for so long, but still found it unbelievable.

"Of course, we can hang out around the set and play around then."

"Anywhere you want to go?"

Zhang Yuan saw her looking at the travel brochure for a long time and asked.

“This San Fernando Valley seems to be quite famous.”

Zhang Yuan: …

Looking at his assistant's silly expression, he showed a helpless look.

There are so many good places, but you choose this one.

"This is the largest film and television base in the world." Zhang Yuan replied.

"Isn't that perfect for us?"

"No, no, no, this is not an ordinary film and television base. They are a special industry."

"Why is it special?"

Zhang Yuan whispered something to her, but the assistant didn't blush, but showed a look of disgust.

The San Fernando Valley is the largest pornographic film and television center in the world.

It is also one of the areas with the highest concentration of plastic surgery hospitals in the United States.

There are quite a few "silicone people" there.

"Xianxun, what do you think of this foreign country?" Zhang Yuan pointed to the scenery outside.

"It seems to be more relaxed than in China."

It is indeed not as crowded as the capital.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, are foreign countries decades more developed than our country?"

"I heard that foreigners have oil paper bags in their sewers."

"You should read fewer copies of Yilin." Zhang Yuan smiled and glanced at her.

Los Angeles is just a county in the Beacon Country, equivalent to a county-level city in China.

The area is only 1 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 1/6 of Tongliao.

But the GDP here in 07 was more than 4 billion US dollars.

In 07, the GDP of China as a whole was just over 3 trillion US dollars.

Now I really feel it is huge.

But it’s very big, and this place is still very popular.

A literal fire, the kind that can destroy half of a city.

Los Angeles, nicknamed Little Hiroshima.

Not only foreign celebrities, but also a large number of Chinese celebrities, directors and stars have purchased properties here.

But Zhang Yuan thought, he should avoid this place.

After going to the hotel and putting down his luggage, Zhang Yuan arrived at the set.

"Hi, Zhang!"

When director Ratner saw him, he came forward and greeted him enthusiastically.

He was wearing a beige vest and a baseball cap, looking quite casual.

The American crews are indeed not as rushed as those in China.

Anyway, after filming the scene with the bearded man, Zhang Yuan feels relaxed wherever he goes.

But it’s so relaxing here!
It was lunch time when he arrived.

The crew here provides a buffet.

In addition to Western food such as steak, hot dogs and pasta, there are also meals specially provided for vegetarians.

There are also hometown meals prepared for ethnic minorities, such as fried noodles, fried rice, roast meat and other foods prepared for the Cheng family team led by Uncle Long.

We started eating right away, and the roast meats were pretty authentic.

It was ordered from a Chinese restaurant in nearby Chinatown.

Zhang Yuan took a look and realized how much money he would have to spend on food every day.

Not only are the people of the Lighthouse Country suffering, but the actors are also...

In addition to the meals, there were six or seven RVs parked near the set.

The leading actors all have their own rest RVs, and so does the director.

Even vehicles were prepared for the staff to take a temporary rest.

"This blue one is yours." Ratner took him to a slightly smaller RV.

This was the reminder Uncle Long gave him before signing the contract and was added to the terms.

The car is fully equipped with everything for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and you can even take a nap when you are waiting for a show.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, why don't we move to the Lighthouse Country?" The assistants looked at it and agreed.

"Hey, it's finally here!"

At this moment, Uncle Long, who had already changed into his stage costume and a complete suit, walked towards him with his feet turned outward.

"Come on, let me introduce you."

"Chris Tucker." He pointed at the big black man standing beside him.

Then he covered his mouth with his hand and spoke softly.

"Don't say 'nigger', 'nigger', 'ghost' in front of him. He can understand them."

"Besides, the US has strict regulations here, and it will be very troublesome to sue you for racial discrimination."

Wouldn’t Da Zhangwei die here if he comes here?

Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Hey, MAN!" Lao Hei walked up to him, bumped fists and clapped his hands in a very social manner, and greeted him.

While greeting him, he was obviously looking him up and down.

"Let's have dinner together tonight and get to know each other better." Uncle Long tried to bridge the gap.

After saying that, he and Lao Hei exchanged glances.

Zhang Yuan: ???
I always feel like there's some conspiracy.

The two seemed to be discussing something.

"Brother, I'm ready."

"Okay, I know!"

The people from the Cheng family called him Uncle Long, and he waved to him and went in front of the camera.

Zhang Yuan also went to watch the filming.

You need to understand the filming methods of American crews in advance, so that you won’t be unable to adapt when the time comes.

It didn't matter that he took a look, the scene from the filming of "Baby Project" immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

so similar!
Uncle Long was still weaving in and out of the traffic, dodging left and right, and finally, several cars collided with each other. Uncle Long swung his tail like a dragon and avoided the collision by jumping on the hood of the car.

The action design is basically the same!
"Oh, no wonder the director looks so relaxed." Zhang Yuan finally reacted.

All the actions were designed by Chen Long, and the white guy was only responsible for filming.

This means that Uncle Long helped him do half of the work.

Chen Long also has one unique trick, and his moves are all similar, but the audience just buys it.

"Hello."

As he was watching, a soft and smooth female voice sounded from behind him.

Zhang Yuan turned around and saw a figure that was somewhat unexpected but also expected.

"Hello, first time meeting you."

"Me too, I look forward to working with you in the future."

The minister first nodded and spoke, then bowed to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan also hurriedly bowed in return.

This is too polite.

It seems that people can indeed grow after experiencing setbacks.

The person who took the initiative to talk to him is a reflection of the tradition of "Rush Hour", that is, there will be a Chinese actress in every show.

The previous one was Zhang Ziyi.

And now it was her turn.

This person is none other than Zhang Jingchu, who has a close relationship with Zhang Yuan.

This person was wearing a wide-cut white T-shirt with a beige sweater jacket over it.

His chest was already opened wide, but he remained calm.

Not only her chest is thin, her whole body is very thin.

She wasn't this thin in the previous art films such as "The Flower Waist Bride".

He must have trained specially for filming.

Zhang Yuan knew this because he also had to undergo physical training.

When he came here, he didn't start shooting directly, but had to practice with the coach for three weeks first.

All the expenses are paid by the crew. If this happened in the country, you would definitely have to prepare it yourself.

Zhang Yuan looked at it and thought that Zhang Jing was wearing this outfit as a costume, and she had her bangs cut straight across.

Anyway, it doesn’t look old or bad.

This outfit is a real minus.

The proportion of her role is almost the same as mine.

She still plays an old role, the ambassador's daughter in the first film.

In the first film, she was a little girl who was kidnapped.

In the third part, he grows up and is kidnapped.

The plot is very cliché, a standard popcorn movie.

If such a script were given to him in China, Zhang Yuan might not even act in it.

But for the sake of Hollywood and a million dollars…

Zhang Jingchu is, after all, his senior.

He was initially surprised by the politeness and even "humbleness" towards him.

But once you think about it for a moment, you’ll understand.

Just by moving her mouth, she squeezed out her role in "The Disciples".

Now that "The Disciples" has been released, Song Jia's role and performance have received a lot of recognition.

It obviously helped her career.

The gains and losses are balanced. Song Jia is happy, but Zhang Jing must be depressed.

Being so polite now has a bit of the meaning of "please don't mess with me again in the future."

“I really like your play.”

“You have a very good image.”

“But what’s rare is that you not only have a good image, but also excellent professional ability.” Teacher Zhang praised with a smile.

She was first bullied by the capital's wives' group, and then she was suppressed by herself.

Now you should understand that this circle is not something you can navigate just by having ability or being clever.

You have to see the situation clearly.

She thinks Zhang Yuan is a blue chip stock and the situation is good.

"Are you free to have dinner together tonight?"

"As a welcoming banquet."

Sniff...the assistant beside him sniffed.

Smells like a vixen!
"Okay." Zhang Yuan responded immediately.

Zhang Jing smiled sweetly.

"It just so happens that I'm going to have dinner with Uncle Long and Brother Lao Hei... no, that Chris." He remembered Uncle Long's advice and quickly changed his words.

"You can come too, and we can have a dinner together as the main actors."

"Uh... okay." Miss Zhang's smile froze for a moment.

Zhang Yuan understood that this person probably wanted to have dinner with him alone.

It seems that I am in a rising market!

As soon as I arrived at the crew, I was targeted.

Zhang Jing appeared in a superposition state of wanting him to stop messing with her and wanting him to mess with her.

Of course, the two are not the same.

After Uncle Long finished filming his afternoon scenes, they went out to eat together.

We went to a famous local Chinese restaurant.

Zhang Yuan was very depressed.

The first meal I had when I came abroad was Chinese food.

Still not authentic, Americanized Chinese food with General Tso's chicken.

During the meal, Zhang Jingchu sat next to him, quite close.

I even stuck to her when taking photos.

It seems that this woman hasn't completely gotten rid of her old bad habits.

The proactive one is a bit obvious.

After dinner, the coach arranged by the crew arrived.

Starting from the evening, Zhang Yuan will start a three-week physical and body shaping training.

Because there are many scenes that require a lot of physical activity in the film, he was asked to wear tighter clothes.

Chris Tucker, the black guy, also went to the gym booked by the crew.

He took a long break before filming began, doing charity work everywhere, and became so fat that he looked like a human.

The crew also required him to lose weight in the contract and maintain training during the filming.

So he trains in physical fitness, karate and judo three times a week.

He changed his clothes and came out, and saw that Zhang Yuan had already started training.

When he saw his physique and the number of reps he could do on the bench press, he gave a disdainful smile and waved his hand towards Uncle Long who was watching the show on the side.

Zhang Yuan tried his best to lose weight when filming "The Disciples". Not only has he not fully recovered his weight, but he has also lost a lot of muscle definition.

Too busy, no time to practice.

At first glance, he looks like just a skinny young man.

Not only is Blackie taller than him, he also weighs over 250 pounds.

Just looking at the size, they are not in the same league at all.

The reason why Lao Hei pays attention to Zhang Yuan's physique and strength has to do with Uncle Long.

"So, this young villain actor is also from your Cheng Family Team?"

After learning that Zhang Yuan would participate in the show, the black guy asked Uncle Long a question after the crew's start ceremony.

"No, he's just a Chinese actor."

"So he doesn't know Kung Fu, just your Kung Fu, right?" Lao Hei and Uncle Long have already collaborated on two films and he knows that every member of the Cheng family team is talented.

Putting aside his skills, the fact that he risked his life while filming is something he will never forget.

When Uncle Long heard him ask this, he suddenly answered with a wicked smile.

"Not like me."

"But we Chinese are all very capable."

"How can you be so powerful without knowing Kung Fu?" Lao Hei didn't believe it.

"If you don't believe me, you can try it when the time comes."

Big brother is obviously doing something bad!
In the following two months, he often mentioned Zhang Yuan in front of Lao Hei.

Chris Tucker's ears are full!
After seeing it today, I felt it was nothing special.

He is skinny and doesn't look very strong.

How amazing is this?

Is Jackie lying to me?
Brother Hei thought, I have been practicing a lot since I started working with Uncle Long.

But after trying several times, what can I say...

They were all defeated in seconds by the younger brothers of the Cheng family Stunt Team.

He is strong, but all the members of the Cheng family team are agile and strong.

I've been humiliated several times.

Now, here comes a beautiful "soft persimmon".

I can’t get this! (End of this chapter)
