Since 1983

Wow, boom!

The next night, when the screening of Taken ended, there was even more enthusiastic applause in the venue.

The sensory enjoyment of Kung Fu movies is more direct.

In particular, Wu Jing, Donnie Yen, Zhang Jin, and Tony Jia stood on the stage, and the audience screamed wow wow.

After a simple interaction, start the visit.

Mr. Donnie Yen, as the main actor and action director, what kind of thinking did you come up with when designing the fight scene in the film?

As we all know, China is the export place of kung fu. In our own country, countless movies have been made in the past few decades. We have about 129 kinds of martial arts, including 75 kinds of boxing.

But some are suitable for making movies, some are not, and after all these years, they are all exhausted.

So novelty is very important.

Donnie Yen also showed his gums, and said: I have been researching, since we are tired of seeing our own, how about looking at the world? There are so many types of fighting in the world, which can also be used for filming.

I am very grateful to Mr. Xu for his trust, allowing me to have a very good practice in Taken.

You mean, the development of action movies in the future will focus on modern fighting?

To be precise, it is about combining with the environment and props, which is simple and deadly. For example, if we start fighting now, what kind of boxing should I consider?

Of course I picked up the chair and hit it.

Hahaha!

Oh, you mean Bourne?

Yes, I think it will develop in that direction in the future.

The action director of Bourne Shadow is Alan Ferraz, who served in the special forces and is also the action director of the reality version of Taken.

The Israeli Krav Maga technique is used.

In the late 1990s, Hong Kong's Wuzhi entered Hollywood one after another, contributing masterpieces such as The Matrix, Spider-Man 2 and Blade Warrior 2.

But Hollywood quickly learned that this group of people could not stay behind on a large scale, and could only return to the Chinese-speaking area, and there have been occasional cooperations since then.

And the local side.

Modern fighting represented by Slaying the Wolf and Fuse, and traditional martial arts represented by Ip Man, although there are classics, they have not formed a scale.

When Embroidered Spring Knife came out in 2014, the audience was pleasantly surprised that there was finally another martial arts film full of sincerity.

In the end, I waited and waited, and it was still the same thing!

No one shoots martial arts anymore.

At the dinner that day, there were more guests than Super Body.

Super Body has a Hollywood distributor, and it has been planned for a long time, and the purpose of coming to Cannes is more for publicity.

In Taken, it was co-produced with Thailand, and filmmakers from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Latin America had a keen sense of smell and flocked to it.

Even if a film of this quality cannot be introduced and released, it can still make money selling CDs!

The cooperation in Thailand blossomed. Not only did Tony Jia win the prize, the cost of 3 million US dollars came back in the blink of an eye, and the rest was pure profit. Sure enough, standing in the team is the truth.

With such popularity, Hollywood is naturally not far behind, and an exciting news soon came out:

The copyright of Taken is sold before it is released, and Cactus Company is determined to remake it!

Fifty First Dates, Infernal Affairs and Taken, the road to the export of Chinese films!

Zhang Jin, the surprise character of the year, has a successor in Kung Fu movies!

…………

In the hotel, Teacher Xu is one-on-one.

Old friends catch up on the old days.

Crash and Sideways are going to participate in the Toronto Film Festival. I have to go there in September. Hey, I really don't like going abroad.

Then you take a rest?

You think I don't want to? I have a contract with L'Oreal, and I have to come to Cannes every year. There's no way...

Gong Li Versailles, Zhang Manyu rolled her eyes.

Xu Fei smiled and said, How was your filming?

I feel fine.

Can you get nominated?

Look at your PR.

Yo, I just went to Hollywood to develop, and I understand the rules thoroughly.

Xu Feidao: These two films are aimed at the Olympic level. Cactus and Fox will naturally have to do public relations. My expectation for you is...

Golden Globe nomination?

Poor! I have to win a Golden Globe anyway.

Wow, what you talk about is the same as cooking.

Zhang Manyu was surprised, and asked, By the way, how about your sci-fi movie?

In preparation, I have an appointment with a Hollywood actor today, and we will meet later. Oh, and you two...

Xu Fei nodded to the two of them: Give me a cameo.

After chatting for a long time, we went out together.

Teacher Xu ran to another hotel and knocked on the door.

Mr. Xu!

excuse me!

He hugged a senior executive of the Cactus Company, looked decent, and then saw the goal of the trip.

He is thin and tall, about 60 years old, and looks strange. There are many whites of the eyes, heavy bags under the eyes, and a kind of gothic evil feeling.

Old Hollywood star: Christopher Walken!

He has served as a golden supporting role for decades, and his masterpieces are The Deer Hunter, Sleepy Hollow and How to Get Away with Law.

Mr. Walken, meeting for the first time.

Hello, my pleasure.

Walken looked at this person curiously. He has been in the industry for decades and has almost never rejected a role. He believes that making a movie is always worthwhile, regardless of the movie itself.

But the invitation of a Chinese film was still a bit of a surprise.

One of his plays is Cactus's new film Wedding Crashers, a low-budget comedy, and he still plays a supporting role. As a result, Cactus recommended Earth Cannon again.

I've read the script, it's a very interesting character.

Walken's polite wording, and some thoughts, can be seen that he has indeed read it carefully.

The script of Earth Cannon is very different from the original work, and it mainly draws on a concept. The protagonist was originally Shen Huabei, but now it was erased and turned into Shen Yuan.

He advocates outward, and the character of Walken is also a scientist, advocating inward to develop the Antarctic continent.

This person is not only scientifically accomplished, but also ambitious and an excellent politician. With his penetrating tongue, he encouraged the governments and people of various countries, and drew a big pie of Antarctic Garden.

And opened a company, packaged Antarctic Garden and listed it, and countless people bought stocks, like a savior.

Shen Yuan opposed his point of view, but since the earth cannon also had to use the tunnel, he had to cooperate with him. This person also values ​​Shen Yuan very much. He is both an enemy and a friend, with different ideas.

Later, the Antarctic courtyard collapsed, the person committed suicide, and Shen Yuan began to preside over the overall situation, turning the tunnel into a gun barrel...

And people who supported inward before, because of failure, opposed outward one after another, because they couldn't afford a second failure.

This is the intention of the whole film, are the people on earth lingering? Or the sea of ​​stars?

For this role, Xu Feiben considered Josh Brolin, the Thanos who snapped his fingers.

Later, Yicha was only 36 years old, younger than himself, and his appearance was not evil enough, so he was replaced by Walken. As soon as Walken's face came out, he was a villain.

And it's cheap.

As for why you found Western actors? Come on, community of shared future for mankind, it is normal to have a foreign scientist.

He has tried his best to downplay the yishi form of the Chinese plan, showing that human beings are inward or outward, but it is good to understand some details.

...

Xu Fei met Walken and negotiated terms.

The Cannes Film Festival has come to an end.

The jury led by Quentin awarded the Palme d'Or to Fahrenheit 9/11, which was a hit. Japan's Yanagi Raku Yuya, who won the Best Actor Award, is only 14 years old.

Zhang Manyu won the Best Actress, and she is also the only one so far.

Mr. Xu was very successful in selling films.
