Hollywood legendary director

Hollywood, a commercial building near Warner Studios.

In the simply decorated office, Yuan Xiangren was painting. Suddenly an employee knocked on the door and came in. "Boss, there is a ghost looking for you, saying that he has an invitation."

"Is it the boss of Firefly Pictures?"

Yuan Xiangren paused, only to remember that someone had just called and said that he wanted to meet.

"Yes, he said his name is Lyman." The employee said again.

"Please come up," Yuan Xiangren said, tidying up the things on the table.

Not long after, employees led individuals into the house.

"Excuse me, excuse me. Are you?"

"My brother is not here. I am his brother Yuan Xiangren. Just call my name. Please sit down."

Yuan Xiangren was polite, while guessing his intentions.

For the boss of a film company, what are the intersections of finding a martial arts team?

Born in the 1940s, he has practiced martial arts with a few brothers since he was a child.

Later, the named assistant martial arts instructor, followed the big brother Tang Jia, and designed movements for Zhang Che.

In the entire Yuan family squad, Yuan Baye is the most famous, but Yuan Xiangren is the most up-and-coming.As early as the mid-1970s, he was well-known in Shaw Brothers.

More well-known cameo performances include the old beggar who sold to Ah Xing's Tathagata Palm in "Kung Fu", and the beggar who taught Suchahar Chan's Sleeping Dream Luohan Boxing in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier".But this is all later.

Since the decline of Hong Kong movies and Yuan Jiaban went to Hollywood to develop, he has more to help his elder brother Yuan Baye and assume the responsibility of Wuzhi.

Anyway, they rely on technology to feed themselves, so as not to be affected by the rise and fall of the market.

Lehman sat openly and asked first: "Where is Mr. Yuan, then, is it convenient to say?"

"Oh, he took Quentin Tarantino's movie "Kill Bill 2" and took part of the team to Chicago."

This is unfortunate.

Lehman thought to himself, then caught a glimpse of a pile of manuscript paper on the table, and asked, "This is?"

"Oh, just draw anything, it's about motion design." Yuan Xiangren explained.

"Can you see it?" Lehman was a little embarrassed, "I originally wanted to ask Yuan Baye to cooperate with us in a movie."

Hearing that there was a business coming, Yuan Xiangren hurriedly said: "Yes, but the painting is not very good."

After a while, after reading the manuscript, Lehman gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, just looking at it, I have a sense of the picture in my mind. But it is mainly about the leg work, the hand , Would you also design?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Xiangren asked: "What kind of style do I want? A bit more masculine, a higher degree of appreciation, or a focus on false moves."

"It seems to be smooth, but also fast, and will pay attention to the degree of viewing."

"Okay, we are very good at this."

"Well, I know that. I came to you because of this. But if Baye Yuan doesn't have time, can you do it? After all, in terms of schedule, we also need to let the actors practice as soon as possible."

"No problem, we also distributed the "Charlie Girl" and "The Matrix" that we participated in the production."

Such suggestive words quickly penetrated Yuan Xiangren's heart.

Their Yuan Jiaban is still mixed in Hollywood, but in the past two years, they have quite the feeling of apprentices and masters starving to death.

In the early years, foreigners’ action designs were crudely designed. Basically, you have one move and one move. Just like boxing, since the Hong Kong film team of Wuzhi has entered Hollywood, many action designs have been learned by others. .

For example, in "The Matrix Series", Yuan Jiaban was in charge of action design at the time of the first. In the second and third parts, some foreign action guides can also participate, and the opinions put forward are more recognized by the capital.

No way, you don't need your own people, can you still use outsiders all the time.

Foreigners are not stupid.

In this way, Yuan Jiaban is not as popular as before, and many foreign teams have also emerged.

In the next few years, Yuan Jiaban returned to Hong Kong Island, Taiwan and the mainland performing arts circle that was gradually gaining momentum.

Yuan Xiangren believes that his team is not bad at all. In terms of style, maturity, and experience, they are among the top ones. The only thing is that they charge a lot and some small crews can't afford it.

However, although Yuan Jiaban runs around the two places, Yuan Xiangren still knows a little bit of Hollywood news, and he also knows that the person in front of him has risen to fame as a director. He is certainly not bad money and is likely to reach a cooperation.

But his city is very deep, and he doesn't speak in this respect. He just smiles and says: "They didn't shoot slowly there. I can also make time to go there. It's okay to exchange ideas."

Lehman thought about it for a while and felt that it was not bad. Anyway, he certainly didn't understand Yuan Jiaban as a professional in motion design.

As long as Director Nolan submits the desired effect, what he does not do is another matter.

So Lehman stopped going in circles, and simply said: "I am here today to talk to you about cooperation. My film company will produce a super-English movie with Warner. If it is convenient, I would like to ask you to take responsibility. The action design."

"Super British movie?"

"Oh, it's an adaptation of Batman. The approximate shooting budget will be around 150 million."

"..."

Yuan Xiangren's heart beats faster in an instant.

A big production of 150 million is higher than a simple "The Matrix", not to mention that "Kill Bill" can only be regarded as a medium production.

Which one is lighter and heavier, haven’t we counted them yet?

"I watched a bit of a movie where you designed the action, and thought that smooth fist and kick would suit Batman. I don't know what you mean?"

"This one......"

Yuan Xiangren has tended to agree, but Yuan Jiaban is his brother who has the final say, and his cautious personality prevents him from answering immediately.In case, his elder brother takes the play again, this is also a matter of uncertainty.I had to smile and said: "I still need to think about it, and I will reply to you tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, this is my business card. Call me when you have news."

Lehman took out one from his bag. The design was very simple, with his name and a string of his personal phone number written on it.

If it is public, his other is the company's front desk number, which is also the name of the president of Firefly Pictures.

"Then don't bother, let's talk again when we have a chance."

Lyman got up and left.

He had never made a movie that needed a lot of fingertips before. That "Bad Guy" was also a foreign team that he was looking for. He was good at guns and close combat, but he did not rely on fragmented editing in terms of skill or fluency. ("The Bourne" is a fragmented editing to play. In fact, the action design inside is a rough one. It depends on editing to make it a little enjoyable, but this is very energy and time-consuming, because a shot requires countless shots. Disorganized, cut into pieces, and combined together), Lehman thought of the Chinese military fingers.

Uncle Long’s team basically revolves around his personal service, and Hong’s family doesn’t develop in Hollywood.

Then the only suitable one is Yuan Jiaban.

They also often deal with Hollywood crews and are more accustomed to the style of doing things here.
