The bard joins the entertainment industry

Street racer Sean's only connection with the world is street racing, where he can feel the thrill of speed and use it to dilute discordant family relationships.

However, because the underground racing attracted the attention of the police, in order to avoid jail, Sean was sent to Tokyo to live with his father, whom he had not seen for many years. He was serving in the military and lived in the suburbs of Tokyo.

By chance, Sean met Wenke, who was also from the United States, in Tokyo, and met his classmate Naila.

DK was dissatisfied because of his affection for Naira. The two met for a competition, but unexpectedly Sean failed miserably.

But he was able to witness local drivers displaying amazing "drifting" skills, and was deeply attracted by this difficult skill.

Under the guidance of Han, a racing master he met by chance, after training, Sean became a master in the local racing community and became friends with the local drift king DK.

What he didn't expect was that DK was also the nephew of the leader of the local criminal group Yamaguchi-gumi, which put Sean in crisis, and he had to return to his old business.

However, Han died in a contest with DK. Sean planned to solve the matter in his own way. He proposed the Yongjiang Race method to solve the matter.

So in the thrilling hairpin bend, the two staged a wonderful show of life and death, but the bet in this game was Sean's own life.

Eventually he won the game and got together with Naira.

The next day, Sean, who has become a well-known driver, was challenged by someone who claimed to be "Han's family"...

With a brief outline and a few more important characters, Chen Shuo finished reading it quickly.

He was not in a hurry to speak, but read this information over and over again.

It can be seen from the script that, except for the last Easter egg-like ending, this script does not have much to do with the first two movies.

Moreover, in terms of story, it may not even be as enjoyable as "Initial D".

The characters in "Initial D", not to mention Takumi Fujiwara, who has strong talents and abilities, even Takeshi Nakazato, Keisuke Takahashi, Ryosuke Takahashi and others are not good at it.

It's more of a competition to make friends.

And this "Tokyo Drift" is a naked Hollywood model, attracting the audience through the protagonist's routine of learning, fighting monsters, and upgrading.

Finally, there is a sublimation of the theme, which is interpreted into a confrontation between good and evil, and then "justice" defeats "evil".

There's not much to say, this is not a deep work, but it is a good commercial work.

While he was flipping through it, Lin Zhibin and David did not interrupt, but just watched quietly.

Chen Shuo put down the material in his hand and asked Lin Zhibin: "From the content point of view, the protagonist Sean must have the most games, and then DK with the 'King of Drift'.

As I said before, the leading role cannot be mine, so does Director Lin want me to play this DK? "

DK, whose character name is Takashi, is known as the "King of Drift" in Tokyo. He is also the nephew of the leader of the criminal group Yamaguchi-gumi, and is responsible for some of the Yamaguchi-gumi's business.

Because he was friends with the racing master Han, he was deceived by him and lost the interests of the Yamaguchi-gumi. He was reprimanded by his uncle, broke with Han, and Han died in an accident while chasing.

And in the final competition with the protagonist, he not only lost the game, but also lost his girlfriend.

Looking at this character and the ending, Chen Shuo couldn't help but frown.

"Yes." Lin Zhibin nodded. Seeing that he seemed a little reluctant, he couldn't help but ask, "What? Are you not satisfied?"

You must know that this is the second male lead. It is a rare opportunity for a new actor to play the second male lead in a series of Hollywood movies.

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "I don't like the experience of this character very much."

In Lin Zhibin's stunned eyes, he continued: "If it was before, maybe I wouldn't care, but from now on, I may not take some roles that have a bad impact."

"Why?" Lin Zhibin asked puzzledly.

Chen Shuo looked at the Talent Young Soul in his information panel and said, "Some questions of principle."

[Talent·Youthful Soul]: The youthful spirit of youth is strong, brave, pioneering and enterprising, creating the soul of youth!

When you become a role model, you can improve the physical strength, spirit, and wisdom of those who trust you, and bring them vigorous vitality, allowing them to forge ahead like teenagers.

There is no distinction between good and evil in this talent. In other words, when young people follow his example, they are likely to be affected by this talent.

For example, during this period, many of his fans left messages saying that taking the driving test was much easier than before.

There are also fans who listen to his songs and have a deeper understanding of music despite their good talents.

With Chen Shuo's encouragement, they were able to be in a better position to deal with some behaviors that imitated Chen Shuo.

This means that the more they recognize him, the deeper the impact this talent will have on them.

Even for some students, when they competed with their classmates to pick locks in school, their success rate improved a lot.

Chen Shuo also experienced it when he was in school before. The keys to the classroom or dormitory were left on one or two people. When he came late, everyone else had to wait at the door.

At this time, someone wants to open the door in advance. Use a key ring to straighten it, then bend a small hook, and click the spring inside to easily open the ordinary lock used in classrooms and dormitories.

Originally this was nothing, but after they saw the performance in "A World Without Thieves", they would spontaneously imitate it, and it was easy to succeed.

It was because Chen Shuo played the role of Four Eyes that they felt that Chen Shuo himself must be very capable of picking locks.

Of course, this is true.

But precisely because of this, Chen Shuo has some scruples about his words and deeds.

These are just some innocuous and small problems. His impression in front of the public is more of a positive image.

He has the expertise of a gentleman, and the images that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people are also relatively decent, making most of the young people influenced by him also relatively decent.

But as the saying goes, beware of the subtle. If one day he plays a crazy murderer or a criminal with a high IQ, will someone imitate him and make them influenced by Young Soul?

Of course, in normal times, if he disguises himself and does not expose his specific image to the public, the young soul's ability will not have much impact.

However, movies themselves are highly communicable, and some film and television images can easily be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

He must now consider his own impact.

Of course, he always feels that this ability should not limit him, and he must provide an absolutely positive image to the public.

But there has to be a positive side.

For example, Andy Lau has set a rule for himself that as long as he plays a bad guy, he will definitely die or end up miserable.

Its purpose is to provide a warning to everyone, that is, bad people will not be rewarded.

Or Zhou Zhaolong, who can play any kind of villain at home, but cannot destroy the friendly image established by most Chinese abroad.

Seeing that Chen Shuo only gave this answer, Lin Zhibin was very dissatisfied, but seeing that he was unwilling to say more, he frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Then which role do you want to play?"

"What about the character Han?" Chen Shuo pointed to the character Han and said, "But the name needs to be changed, Han or Chen."

Lin Zhibin had lost his initial joy at this time. He looked at Chen Shuo for a while and said calmly: "Can you tell me why? Don't tell me anything unprincipled.

This character doesn't have many scenes, so why do you have to replace it with a better one? "

Chen Shuo smiled and suddenly said formally: "First, the main reason for wanting to change roles is the principle issue I just mentioned.

I am now quite famous in China, especially in the eyes of some teenagers, my experience is somewhat legendary, and I am afraid that I will have a bad influence on them. "

Lin Zhibin was noncommittal about this answer. He still didn't think it was necessary. He would seize a role or an opportunity as soon as he got it. It was useless to say so much.

However, seeing that Chen Shuo spoke so formally, he was willing to continue listening and make a judgment after listening.

Chen Shuo had no intention of stopping and continued: "Secondly, I don't think a good role means a lot of roles.

Director Lin, in addition to acting, I have also written scripts and directed plays, not to mention created several classic characters.

I have my own judgment on whether a character is good or bad.

It is true that more scenes can show the completeness of a character more, but some characters may not be so complete, but as long as they have some shining points, they are enough to be remembered by everyone.

Undoubtedly, Han is such a character.

In fact, there is a plot in the script that I like better, and that is the scene where Han demonstrates the drifting technique to Sean. "

Hearing this, Lin Zhibin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He could accept this reason. In his opinion, the character Han did have a lot of shining points.

But when he heard the end, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Shuo.

When Sean asked Han what the purpose of drifting was, Han took him in a circle around a car, showing his superb drifting skills and winning the favor of the two beauties in the car.

And he liked this section better.

Chen Shuo smiled and said: "Thirdly, Director Lin's movie is called "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift". I think it would be better if you find a real Japanese to play the role of DK.

After all, this role is related to the Japanese underworld. If it is really necessary to find an outsider to play it, I am afraid it will not be easy for Japanese people to accept. "

Lin Zhibin was silent for a while and said, "In this case, my purpose of finding you will not be so strong."

Chen Shuo shook his head and said: "Isn't the purpose of Director Lin looking for me just because I played the role of Fujiwara Takumi, and he wanted me to personally demonstrate some racing skills during the filming process?

For your purpose, Han is a better character than DK. "

Without waiting for Lin Zhibin to say anything, he continued: "In Asia, due to the good results of "Initial D", the character I played, Takumi Fujiwara, left a deep impression that he is a racing master.

Playing roles with better driving skills will make it easier to gain recognition from everyone.

Director Lin was born in Taiwan, and he must have read some martial arts novels. In them, would it be easier for those worldly masters who rarely appear in them to leave a deep impression on others?

Isn't Han, who shows his drifting ability by picking up girls instead of competing, similar to such a character?

I think that if I play such a role, it will be more easily accepted by Asian audiences than playing a villain who is defeated by the protagonist and steals his girlfriend.

As for American and Western audiences, they just need to show more of their racing abilities, and that won't be a problem.

What's more, I feel that the audience cares more about the performance of the male protagonist and the female protagonist.

I talked to Mr. Townsend before. The biggest selling points of the "Fast and Furious" series are luxury cars, celebrities, beauties and violence.

It must not be difficult for Director Lin to display these elements. "

Lin Zhibin frowned and thought for a while, then said: "In that case, I can't force it.

I decided to invite you to star because I valued your performance, and you have been approved by Mr. Townsend, so the initiative is in your hands.

The producers may not agree if they want better characters, but if they want to make adjustments, there won’t be many objections. "

After a pause, he said seriously: "Chen Shuo, I have to remind you that Hollywood is not Hong Kong, let alone the mainland. There is a complete film industry system here, and you will not be given the opportunity to change the script.

In other words, after you give up the role of DK, your actual value is devalued. "

Chen Shuo smiled and said: "I understand Director Lin, but I feel that the creation of a character is not static.

When he starts to show his value, if you don't want the effect to get worse, you can only let him develop.

Of course, I will abide by the rules of a qualified actor. I can act in any way you ask me to. "

Lin Zhibin looked at Chen Shuo again. He felt that he should have communicated with him more before. This young man was not as "kind" as he appeared.

But that's not a bad thing.

He is also a new director without many achievements, so the company sent him four producers to "assist" him.

Chen Shuo is a sharp-edged and capable person, but he is not ignorant of flexibility.

If I can get his support, maybe I can gain more initiative.

After all, it may not be impossible for him to gain Mr. Townsend's approval and have a close relationship with David.

The main thing is that his persuasiveness is so strong that he always has a magical power that makes people have to recognize him.

Thinking about it, Lin Zhibin stretched out his hand and said: "Then, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!" Chen Shuo stood up and shook hands with him.

Lin Zhibin said: "Although I have been convinced by you, the specific matters still need to be decided after discussion with Mr. Moretz and Mr. Townsend.

Only after they agree can we truly confirm it. "

"It should be so." Chen Shuo nodded.
