Chapter 141: Squeeze the U.S. System
After getting Arnold, Cameron began casting the second male lead.
Cheng Long just came and read the script aside first and roughly understood what this film is.
He is not a bad person by nature. He drank a few days ago and was anxious to show off in front of Teresa Teng, so he felt a little thorny. After calming down, he realized that there was no benefit in having sex with Gu Ao.
There are many people who are versatile in the circle, so Cheng Long came to support him when he heard that he had the chance.
Gu Ao also asked him to bring some videotapes recording his previous martial arts scenes, so that Cameron could refer to the scene.
Of course, on Li Lianjie's side, Gu Ao also asked someone to cut a piece of martial arts when he played Ding Li in "Hujiangtan" overnight, and used it as a comparison.
Cameron looked at the style roughly and suggested: "Cheng, Li, can you ask you to play two moves with Arnold? Everyone has made movies, just give a sprint demonstration. But you should imagine that Arnold is a super strongman, and you will definitely suffer a loss when fighting with him. You have to rely on skills to win, or even delay time - he is a robot."
Cheng Long felt it was a bit difficult, but he was still willing to cooperate.
Li Lianjie naturally had no requirements and did whatever he asked him to do. Everything he had received was rewarded by Brother Gu, and he did not dare to disobey at all.
Then, the crew, even the cafe owner and the waitresses, saw a thrilling rare fight, which seemed to be fucked.
After only a few seconds of watching, Cameron first shouted cut, and then explained earnestly:
"Stop, jacky, can you stop squeezing Arnold's chest and then pulling his hands back and shaking a few times to pretend that his fist hurts? He is a robot wrapped in flesh and blood, not a robot exposed by pure metal. And this is not a kung fu comedy, this is a serious and cold apocalyptic science fiction film."
Cheng Long felt a little embarrassed, but he still shrugged patiently: "Okay, I'm used to it. I've been doing this style in the past three years."
However, although this place was changed, during the subsequent fight, Cheng Long still couldn't help but use props to try to make the silly Arnold be teased in various ways and hit the props. After watching for a while, Cameron realized that it was not possible.
In contrast, Li Lianjie lacks the sense of quick, accurate and ruthless blow, and cannot follow the fierce and fast path of Bruce Lee, but at least he looks very serious.
Cameron said in a controversial tone: "Gu, I think Cheng has more experience. At first glance, he has a basic boxing foundation and can combine movie fighting and kung fu routines. But he played too jokingly and it seemed difficult to change.
Li's experience is much worse, especially because he doesn't know how to show sharpness and sense of blowing in the camera. He should have no basic foundation in boxing and MMA. There are also some flaws in actual shooting..."
Gu Ao nodded secretly and then showed up to Cheng Long: "Brother Long, can you change the course of acting for my film? If you can promise not to play so funny again, I am willing to ask you to be the second male lead with a high salary."
Cheng Long hesitated for a moment, but refused: "No! I have to have my own style. I have worked hard for three years to form this style. I want the audience to step by step strengthen their stereotypes about my style! I don't want to be the second Bruce Lee!"
This involves his lifelong acting career character planning. Even if he thinks that the movie has a certain future, he is unwilling to take the risk of weakening his character to make money.
Then there is nothing to talk about. Originally, Gu Ao didn't care about closeness and distance, but just wanted to pursue the best performance.
"Okay, even if you're in vain," Gu Ao said he could send coffee to the guests.
"You're welcome." Cheng Long left in a formal manner.
Gu Ao watched Cheng Long leave, then looked at Li Lianjie: "What, don't you blame me for giving outsiders a chance."
Li Lianjie quickly bowed his head sincerely: "No, Brother Long is a big star who has been famous for several years. I just made a TV series, and I know I can't do it."
Gu Ao raised his hand and signaled him to be quiet: "No, it's not the key, it's the attitude. Your routine is good, but it lacks camera expression. As long as you are willing to learn, I will spend money to find a martial arts coach - I have asked Cheng Long to design so many popular fighting master Yuan Ba."
If you want to talk about who is the best in Kung Fu superstar, perhaps Cheng Li fans have their own controversy, and even some who like Donnie Yen have to compete. But it should be no surprise that you will be the best in the field of "martial arts guidance/action guidance".
In 1980, Yuan Heping had helped Cheng Long film "Snake Shame Hand", "Drunk Fist", etc., as well as the previous "Da Power Eagle Claw Kung Fu", which is obvious to all.
Moreover, his style is extremely adaptable and can always design the most wonderful action performance based on the type of movie and the nuances of the mirror. "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the turn of the century have amazed the entire Hollywood.
In history, the cooperation opportunities between Yuan Baye and Li Lianjie did not appear until the early 1990s, including Huang Feihong and Zhang Sanfeng series. Gu Ao is now inadvertently advanced ten years.
As for contracts and breach of contracts, Gu Ao is still affordable. This kind of part-time job in martial arts coaching is not expensive, and Jiahe's control over technical personnel such as martial arts fingers is not as strict as the actors.
The key is that Li Lianjie must make rapid progress.
"Brother Gu, don't worry! These are all opportunities you gave me. I don't need to pay for this movie. I have such a good opportunity to learn skills. Money is nothing. I promise to work hard every day. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't have been today!"
Gu Ao said a few words to boost morale, thinking that the only heroine was left to be solved. Now Linda Hamilton is still not sure where he is losing, and even if he has entered the industry.
He could only believe in Cameron's vision and let it go.
At most, I would like to emphasize in the script: what this character needs is a good appearance, but there is no need for a very beautiful "toddler".
I believe that Hollywood can always find such a tomboy.
Finally, because of joining Li Lianjie, Cameron was very professional and keen to propose to Xiao Sui:
"Ms. Xiao, considering the changes in the characters in the script, I hope you will delete the bed scene between the second male lead and Sarah Connor - although the material of chinese-kongfu has been accepted by American audiences because of Bruce Lee's efforts, yellow men sleeping in white women is still very challenging for them to sleep in the senses. Most Americans can only accept white men sleeping in Asian women...
Don't be angry, I have no tendency to offend or look down on Asians, but this is the social reality. I am doing business. At the same time, you can add a little scene at the beginning, such as a scene of making a phone call in a shared apartment. Didn't it mean that Sarah had just had a falling out with her boyfriend who drove a Porsche, and her boyfriend was too busy to spend the weekend with her?
You set that she was pregnant at that time, so that she would no longer have to worry about who John Connor’s father was, nor would she have to reconcile the paradox of “The Time Traveler became the father of the person who sent the Time Traveler.”
"I agree, this is also for cultural identity, so let's do it." Gu Ao made the decision.
Xiao Sui accepted it without hesitation.
Gu Ao finally ordered: "James, Arnold, you guys, take a promotional video for about two minutes in the past two days, and even the filming is ready, just treat it as a modeling and makeup setting. I may have to use it for some contact promotion. You can actually pay the 500,000 US dollars in the project company and ask my cousin to report the accounts."
The new project company registered by Gu Ao to film "Terminator" can only count on his cousin Lu Guangfu to take time to manage it in finance. Anyway, there are not many accounts at the moment. Gu Ao also paid his cousin a basic salary for this, and first made up for the scholarship he lost because he offended Chen Yuzhi to win over.
...
Three days later, Gu Ao received a few minutes of shoddy flower, then took Cameron to the R&D center of Kuka Robot in Irvine.
Gu Aoxian went in for routine technical negotiations and asked Cameron to wait.
When the daily negotiations were about to end, Gu Ao began to cause trouble.
He took out a two-minute ripping video tape and privately took it in front of Mr. Stanton, the head of the Kuka robot negotiations.
"Mr. Stanton, don't you think your company is too concealing in the technical cooperation negotiations for our Wanwan Linshi Electronics? You don't sell this or that. You always want to keep as many industrial links as possible in the local area. You have no sincerity..."
Stanton had been talking to Gu Ao for more than a week, and he didn't realize why Gu Ao suddenly became aggressive. He asked a little angrily: "What do you mean?"
"I think the application prospects of photography robots and even many other industrial robots should not appear in the United States - just look at this tape and you will understand." Gu Ao lit a cigar and pushed a video tape leisurely.
Mr. Stanton glanced at him with suspicion, and then became angry: "What do you mean? Our Kuka robot robot's robot is not like this! Do you want to fabricate and promote the death of a production line manager three years ago? We can accuse you! Don't think that this will make us more concessions!"
Gu Aoyun smiled lightly: "No, no, no, how could I fabricate news? This is not intended as news - I want to make movies, adapt some plots from real events and intersperse them. I also registered a project company for this, specializing in science fiction films. This is Los Angeles, the dream capital, and anyone can make movies, right?"
Stanton was stunned and laughed instead: "Who are you scaring? No matter how large your cooperation with us is, it will not have a net profit of millions of dollars in the short term. Is it possible to shoot science fiction movies in Hollywood without millions of dollars? Your bluff can't scare me!"
"Maybe I'm a genius. I'm sure I can make money by making a movie." Gu Ao had a natural expression.
"Then you can do it!" Stanton was too lazy to talk nonsense and would not accept the threat.
This is a private supplementary negotiation between the two parties, and both parties still have to record it. Gu Ao did not keep anyone, so he brought back all the negotiation tapes of the day and some shots secretly taken at the Kuka Robot R&D Center.
Then, based on the experiences and experiences of the past few days, and the scenes that might have been followed by someone, they also recorded the scenes of him.
If there are any shortcomings, Gu Ao will inexplicably find Lady Deng to open a party or something, and then make sure that those who appear are people in the entertainment industry, and even bring Cameron up and wait for his followers to take the bait.
He believed that those who stalked him on a routine basis would not even let go of these whereabouts of his party with people in the pure entertainment industry.
After careful processing, Gu Ao instructed Cameron to pay the membership fee and materials and became a member of the Hollywood Directors Union. (There are many wild directors in Hollywood who do not join the union, but these people will not receive benefits and protection. If you just join the association and have to stand out for you, you must pay a relatively high fee. The specific laws are very complicated.)
Cameron has never been a director before, but has been a special effects director, although there is only one movie. On the premise that someone helps him pay various legal fees, he is of course willing to join the association and have multiple guarantees.
Then, he ran to cry with evidence of his frame-up that he was restricted from his creative freedom.
