Chapter 891: Child's Play
Kang Yan, who has been in the underworld for many years, can become Chen Gang's master. Over the past ten years, he has also had his own network of contacts. His only contact person at that time is also the regional manager of this West Asian company (the boss of one of the halls). Such an attitude is not considered a favor. On the contrary, the other party is very happy to see Kang Yan. He is very happy to know that he has found a home, love and future direction of life.
Chen Hao and Chen Gang did not have much contact with this bearded guy. They greeted him and left the time to him and Kang Yan. Other people's life and death friendship does not mean that it belongs to their own network. Just remember that it is a favor.
The meal was uneventful, and nothing unexpected happened. What this dinner meant was not really realized. Chen Hao arrived at the location arranged by the crew on time the next morning, where Larry, a professional retired SEAL officer, was waiting for them.
Kristen was not late, and director Doug Liman also arrived at the scene early in the morning. The rivalry between the two people in the whole play is the absolute core. The performance of the two of them determines to a certain extent whether the film can be successful.
Kristen obviously met Doug Liman before, and Chen Hao was the male lead selected by the investor. It was the first time he met the director today. There was no deliberate humility. Chen Hao just maintained his usual style. I am not arrogant and give enough respect to everyone. For the time being, we can't talk about any friendship. It's just a simple working relationship, giving each other work equally.
It was also the first time for the two to meet Kristen. This actress who became popular in "Twilight" has also filmed several films in recent years, all of which are difficult roles. Her acting skills are recognized among the few young actors. If it weren't for the fact that she came out and her more independent temperament, her fame would not have reached the current level.
When they first met, everyone was quite restrained. After a few simple polite exchanges, they went straight to the point. Larry was a very professional instructor. He had been engaged in related work in the past few years since his retirement. He had already set a corresponding training outline for how to train the two.
"Our training mainly focuses on tactical movements and the use of corresponding equipment. To a certain extent, we also need to train the physical fitness and flexibility of the two. I believe you should also know that this is very useful for the filming of your film." In Hollywood, it is completely normal for an actor to shoot a movie in half a year. It is a basic quality for an actor to make similar preparations for a play in advance. Not to mention training, gaining or losing weight is something that all handsome and beautiful male and female stars will encounter. Although not 100% of them will do so, they basically have the basic ethics of an actor.
In this regard, Chen Hao unabashedly praised it in front of all his good friends in the circle, and was not afraid to reveal the fact that everyone knew. Everyone knew that their model was good, and no one would say it out loud. It's about making money. Our system is not so strict. Actors are also stars. They need to use various endorsement advertisements, commercial activities, commercial performances, etc. to earn some money that only stars can earn.
Christine nodded and followed the assistant and staff to change clothes. Chen Hao did not directly say that he did not need this kind of training, but followed them to change clothes silently.
At this time, Qiu Yu and others in LA received a notice from the "Prison Break" crew, hoping that Chen Hao could join the crew as soon as possible. The set arrangement of the prison on their side had been completed. There was a time limit for filming the entire prison, and they needed to join the crew in advance, otherwise they could not complete the filming on time.
This is a big deal, and a big deal means that there will be a hard time limit for filming. Such a large prison cannot be used by you without limit, and the crew's authority in this regard will be reduced.
Qiu Yu had heard Chen Hao muttering about this matter, and the first moment he received the call was to refuse. What is this? Both crews belong to your Fox. Don't you know that Brother Hao has just joined the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" crew? What does it mean to send such a notice? Is it deliberately difficult?
He couldn't make the decision. The company communicated with Fox. Chen Hao had the right to decide on the contract between the two parties. The person in charge of the Fox crew was also very polite and patiently explained that the prison there was not for unlimited use. If there were any accidents during the filming, the progress would be slowed down, so Chen Hao needed to join the crew as early as possible so that the time of other actors could be coordinated.
In the end, the decision was still on Chen Hao's shoulders. When the news reached him, the company had coordinated a very flexible time, but even so, he was too busy to be in two crews at the same time. This was to say that there was no domestic drag on him, and there were no activities that he had to attend, otherwise, time would be even more stretched.
"It's really nothing new. If I don't go, is it that I'm not dedicated enough? Or is it some way to discredit me? Child's play." Chen Hao changed into a replica training uniform of the Marine Corps, which was the most comfortable for him to wear. There were staff members next to him to guide him. After he took off his clothes and put them on easily, he realized that the person in front of him might be more than just an actor.
Facing Larry, Chen Hao's training uniform made him look thin when he was dressed, but his muscular body was fully revealed when he took off his clothes. Under the gray-green T-shirt, the muscles on his chest and abdomen were clearly visible.
There were several guns on the table. While waiting for Christine, Larry smiled and signaled Chen Hao that he could play with them. It was just a simple training of two people, and there were no too strict requirements. There was also plenty of time, so Larry didn't need to be too serious. Besides, looking at Chen Hao's physique, he at least paid attention to maintenance and professional fitness on weekdays, so he would have less trouble. As long as his physical fitness reached a certain standard, it would be easier to train with a professional foundation.
"Instructor, how long do we need to train?"
"It's quite enough. According to the requirements of the crew, it will be within one month. You may need some corresponding training for the desert plot. The most important thing is to make you look like a soldier."
"Oh." Chen Hao's hands were not idle. He didn't have a cool quick-disassembly gun, but even so, it was scary enough. Larry and Doug Liman were watching. He was chatting with you here, and he had disassembled the gun there. His professional level can be seen from this.
"Hmm?" Larry was interested. In the United States, there is no such thing as a golden mean. Being high-profile is always a symbol of strength. When he asked about some details of the gun, Chen Hao's answer also satisfied him. If Christine had not changed her clothes and came out, he would have taken the induction gun and followed Chen Hao to the battlefield inside to play a field CS.
Christine and Chen Hao looked at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes. Christine knew that this Chinese man was very strong. In reality, she saw the powerful force of the other party up close. However, for her, who was used to seeing strong Western men, she was impressed by the other party's lines and the good looks of the other party in this training uniform.
Chen Hao still remembered when he watched the first part of "Twilight". At that time, she was still a little fat girl. If you go to the movie today, you will feel that you are not the same person as her. Now it is different. As a star, she began to restrict her body forcibly. She also has the temperament of having seen the world. With the unique style brought by her dark green eyes, she can really be described as cold and beautiful now.
"From now on, you have to come to me for training at least four days a week until you reach the qualified standard. Of course, if you think you are ready now, I can test you right away. In this way, you don't have to come and just wait for the filming to start." Larry's words were somewhat directed at Chen Hao. He was not deliberately embarrassing him. He just felt a sense of confidence in his eyes. This confidence is what the instructor least wants to see when dealing with students. It will make him feel that his prestige as an instructor is threatened, so he said this.
The original intention was to knock, and there was also a deliberate temptation. If you, MOUSE, really come out and say that you are ready, I will tell you that even if you know Chinese Kung Fu, you have to start from scratch in the real professional field.
Doug Liman frowned on the side, and Christine looked at them curiously. They both felt the atmosphere, and how could Chen Hao, as the person involved, not feel it: "I have taken two dramas for the same company. Prison Break wants me to join the crew. It is not easy to borrow the prison scene. I can go over to walk through the scene in one month. Instructor Larry, I'm sorry here. If you need me to master something, I will come back and learn from you humbly."
The meaning of this is very clear, I'm leaving now.
Larry wanted to give a warning. Since you dare to provoke, let's do the most difficult one, first physical fitness and anti-terrorism tactical movements and sign language.
Doug Liman was very dissatisfied. He felt that Chen Hao was too arrogant, but as the male lead appointed by the higher-ups, he had no power to change. After hearing Chen Hao's explanation, although he was dissatisfied, he chose to ask around. Whether it was useful or not, at least he could confirm his impression of him.
Doug Liman was very angry after hearing this, and he immediately contacted the company. Even if it was two companies, there would be no malicious competition, let alone one company. There was no problem with the contract signed by Chen Hao. Now it was two dramas produced by the same company. You guys are still playing such a trick. Aren't you destroying your own stage? The investment on the movie side was over 100 million, and the investment on the TV series side was also over 100 million. Are you kidding me?
