328: Volcano Hits Earth

(The third update has arrived, and today will be the fourth update. It seems that Lao Lu is diligent in updating, monthly tickets, subscriptions, and then you can send them to Lao Lu.%>_<%)

"Simply put, as long as we have enough money, we don't care what we do."

This is the shooting scene of "The Expendables". Several big guys met together, and just looking at the appearance, it made people expect more than they expected. Li Donglai, who has temporarily finished his directorial work, returned to his actor status and today he appeared in the "Stillon Mercenary Group" that is well-known all over the world. Finally joined the crew, he wore military green jeans underneath, a leather jacket on the upper body, a tight T-shirt underneath, and a sturdy chest loomed.

"Light guy Li Donglai, you're finally here, welcome." Stallone gave him a hug.

"Big guy Stallone, I hope I'm not too late." Li Donglai was quite flattered and hugged him with a shoulder. Stallone smiled. This guy was very fond of him, at least not shy, or something. "Kang Mu Ang, I'll introduce you to a few big guys." Then he was brought into the crew by Stallone, introduced him to meet Jason Statham, Mickey Rock, Duflanger, Li Lianjie and other tough guys. Unfortunately, he didn't see Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis.

Everyone was a man, but there was nothing to do with it. He greeted him very well. After that, Li Donglai naturally walked to his elder brother Li Lianjie and stood there. He respected this elder brother very much.

Li Lianjie smiled and patted his shoulder, praising: "Donglai has done a good job recently, come on, don't lose the face of Chinese Kung Fu." "Haha, I will." Li Donglai was praised by his elder brother. He smiled silly when he was very helpful.

Jason Statham shook a few flying knives in his hand and smiled, "Looking at your bird's look, it seems like you want to be intimate, haha, how about we have something fun?"

Mickeyrock held a pipe in his mouth and said, "Oh, you are showing off what fruit knives you have again? Today you may meet your opponent." As he said that, he looked at Li Donglai, who had just joined the "Stillon Mercenary Corps". Jason Statham spread his hands, "What. Don't you dare to play anymore?" He joked, and also looked at Li Donglai. He is an action superstar, but he is not a fighter. He is really inaccurate about Li Donglai.

Li Lianjie patted Li Donglai on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Go and play, give this guy a little bit of awesomeness." As a big brother, he was trying his best to help Li Donglai integrate into the tough guys.

"Okay." The elder brother spoke, and naturally he had nothing to say.

Jason immediately threw a flying knife bag over, all of which were props from the crew, "Next."

Li Donglai picked it up easily.

Everyone saw someone challenging Jason's flying knife, and they all laughed and watched the fun. Stallone also stopped temporarily from the staff's discussion and said with a smile: "Look at your skills, I'll add a behind-the-scenes too." Jason sneered at him: "What a Grandet, the older you get, the more stingy you are. This surplus value needs to be exploited." Stallone spread his hands and rolled his eyes. He looked like he was like you were trying to deal with me.

Jason refused to bid him and said to Li Donglai, "I'm here first." As he said that, he threw a flying knife out, "Swish, chop," and nailed it to the target steadily. Eight rings. There were bursts of applause around him. It was Li Donglai's turn to come. People were a little curious, and they all looked at this quiet handsome guy who was simply described as quiet. Li Donglai did not refuse, and walked to Jason's position just now, and shook his hand and showed a white light.

"Swish, chop", hit the bull's eye!

"Papapapapapapa". There was a burst of applause around, slightly louder than Jason's applause. Jason touched his bald head, with an expression that he really met an opponent, which was quite funny.

Mickey Roc laughed, he watched it interestingly, put down his pipe and walked over and said, "I'll play with it too."

"Give me a knife, maybe I can throw it away." Randy Kudrow also came over to join in the fun.

...

Officially joining the filming, Li Donglai's role is a new sniper in the Mercenary Group, a young junior who was brought from China to the United States by his compatriot Li Lianjie from China to make a living.

"so cool!" Touching the sniper rifle handed over by Stallone, this was a real guy, but he just had no bullets.

Stallone smiled and said, "Just like this character."

"I like it so much. Most men have fantasized about this profession." Li Donglai was quite unfamiliar with dismantling it a few times, and picked up the gun and aimed at a place where no one was.

"Ok." Stallone stood up and shouted to the staff in the distance: "The filming is started, and everything is ready."

A shot of a replay of mercenaries chatting in a bar, with humorous and funny lines and fitting the actor's real roles themselves, is a major feature of "The Expendables". For example, when Schwarzenegger appeared, he called Stallone "Big Boy Rose", Stallone called Schwarzenegger "Super Big Boy Morse", etc.

Li Donglai and Li Lianjie are compatriots, and the same is true in the play. The eldest brother Li Lianjie will take care of his younger brother. He is very young and will smile quietly most of the time. Several big men sit around the table in a small bar, like old friends who have been many years old. They don’t jump around like young people like they are crazy about taking drugs, but just sit quietly and drink, and then occasionally tell a few not-so-funny jokes.

Duflanger took a glass of wine and suddenly said, "Do you have a pen?" Stallone took out a skull-patterned pen from his pocket. Jason said, "Do you have something without a skull?" "Don't say, there is really nothing." Duflanger took the pen and wrote something on a napkin. After a moment, he raised it to everyone: "This is Einstein's special theory of relativity, I optimized it." Then he wiped the napkin hard.

The camera cut to Li Donglai, and he smiled on his face, which was very interesting. The bloody villain Duflanger, who likes to shoot heads with heavy guns, actually optimizes Einstein's special theory of relativity. Other members put on a look of inconsistency, and Stallone said: "Whether you believe it or not, before this guy fell in love with drugs, he was a top student at MIT or a master's degree in chemical engineering."

"I didn't expect this guy to have a brain." Terry Cruise said with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

The “cut!” shot is perfect. This is the humor of Americans.

...

Li Donglai fell in love with the crew for a few days. Stallone was as sure as ever as a man. Not long after, he followed the crew to South America to film.

At the same time, the well-prepared science fiction blockbuster "Avatar" has not allowed many fans to release the release date. Directed by the famous director James Cameron and produced by 20th Century Fox, the film has three standards for audiences to choose from: 2d, 3d and imax3d. They will be released in the last week after Christmas in 2009. The coverage range is as many as more than 40 countries and regions around the world.

After Li Donglai received the news, he finally sighed.

What he least expects to happen, perhaps it is a personal knot. Since he watched part of "Avatar" in advance, he has always regarded this movie as a rival. His initial idea was to try to avoid it or rush to release it in front of it. Try to avoid it in order to get the best interests.

This feeling is quite wonderful. Li Donglai himself regards Cameron as his strong rival, but Cameron has been just doing what he should do, orderly and without any pressure. He is like a secret lover, trying every means to work hard, but the other party is indifferent...

Ahem, maybe this metaphor is a bit strange. But to outsiders, they will only think that Li Donglai wishes to compare with others.

But now, the two movies are still going to collide. Although "Inception" has not set the release date externally, it has long discussed the release date internally. Because of the Warner partners, this time the Phantom is not alone. As one of the Hollywood giants, Warner has a powerful distribution system. Once the two parties combine, it will be easy to win a powerful release schedule for "Inception".

Their internal prediction is Christmas Week, which is only one week ahead of Avatar.

Looking at the information in his hand, Li Donglai seemed to have seen two giant ships colliding, or fighting fiercely like a volcano hitting the earth. And the one who fell in the end might be him.

Li Donglai was a little dazed and shook his head, but he was still back on track.

It is too early to mention these things now. Although I work overtime and pay double the salary to work, the behind-the-scenes work of "Inception" has not been completely completed.

Working overtime is not very popular in the United States and Hollywood. People will resist and actors will be disgusted, but the charm of US dollars cannot be underestimated. Maybe they will complain about Li Donglai's demand for power, but they have been doing this for several months, so they don't care about working for a longer period of time. It's just a matter of taking advantage of this to make more money and spend Christmas 2009 safely.

All behind-the-scenes work is still in an orderly manner.

After working together for so long, they knew everything they should know about what central ideas, editing images, soundtracks, and 3D special effects they needed. Even if Li Donglai is not here now, they have no obstacles.

Rismith, Hanschimer, and Pitt Bieber are the most elite groups of talents in the world. They are the authoritative in terms of editing, special effects, and music, and there is no need for directors to participate.

At this point, Hollywood's approach is very different from that in the domestic film industry.

The difference between domestic films and Hollywood blockbusters is that in terms of professionalism, domestic film directors are not all experts in photography, clothing, editing, and soundtracks, but they control everything. The power is serious than ability, but few people reflect on themselves and work hard to learn related technologies and cultivate relevant talents.

Domestic film directors have the right to finish the filming as producers, but even Cameron does not have these two things.

But some people complain every day that there is a lack of good producers, good editing, and good soundtrack... It is precisely because they are used to controlling everything, and it is even more ridiculous that they may not understand everything. It is well known that domestic blockbusters are not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, but there are several directors studying genre films to defend the domestic film market? Directors either despise business or make money and make bad blockbusters, and they deserve it!

This is an off-topic, and the final production of "Inception" was completed just in early November!

The filming of "The Expendables" was not very urgent. Hollywood filming has its own set. People who are as crazy as Li Donglai are after all, are a few. So during the free time and holidays of the filming, Li Donglai returned to the company and together with the creative team behind the scenes, as well as representatives from Warner, they watched the final results in the Phantom's screening room and made the final test.

Li Donglai has the final editing rights. If he feels it is not good, the entire plan may be restarted.

So on this day, the company was very concerned. In addition to his old friend Jordan Kimberly, a director of the issuer, William Connaughty.

It is worth mentioning that Warner actually started shooting 3D movies as early as 1953. At that time, because United Million Film's 3D movie "Adventures of Africa" ​​was quite successful, Jack Warner also decided to shoot the 3D movie "Horror Wax Museum", which was completed and released in 1953. Although "Horror Wax Museum" was very successful, the 3D movie trend quickly faded away. It was not until recently that Hollywood rekindled a whirlwind of discussions on 3D.

After a few polite words, everyone entered the cinema together. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
