As a road movie, "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" is not a road comedy, on the contrary, it is a road action movie.
Among all the TV series and movies that Rong Xu has filmed before, only "Ambush" and "Zhuanghualuo" have a little action scene, but in general, his role is mostly in literary drama, and action drama is very rare. For example, in "Zhuanghualuo", most of the action scenes are placed on Qin Cheng and the second male actors. It was not until the final finale that Rong Xu needed to shoot short action scenes.
If the action scene is relatively simple, then the action guide can be directly taught on-site, as long as the effect is achieved. But if you want to act as the protagonist of an action movie, it usually requires some advance training.
Before filming "Stormbringer", Qin Cheng received a 20-day assault training. He had to train his muscles, train a slender and powerful body, and be familiar with martial arts.
Now, when Rong Xu arrived in Washington, at noon that day, he was arranged by Klimans Holt into a special training camp.
This is a huge greenhouse. As soon as you enter the gate, you can see many staff members busy back and forth. Most of them are the staff of the props group, the explosion group and the action steering group. They are preparing for the numerous explosion scenes of this movie.
Just a few steps away, Rong Xu heard a surprised female voice ringing behind him: "Hey, Rong?" There was
a quick stop at the foot of the steps, and the boy turned around and saw a bright and handsome blonde smiling. Walked towards myself. She has a bronze skin, and her appearance is not very soft. At the moment, she is wearing a white racer vest, her arms are muscular, but not sturdy, with some kind of young and handsome that can be called handsome.
The
corners of Rong Xu's lips curled slightly, and he smiled and said, "Jennifer." Yes, the person here is Jennifer , a Hollywood actress.
Before meeting today, Rong Xu and Jennifer often chat online because they want to star in a movie together, and they are very familiar with each other. Although it was the first time they met, the two of them became familiar with each other after only a few words.
Jennifer smiled and said, "I just joined the group the day before yesterday. Karen is too scary. You have to be prepared."
Karen is the action director of "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles", who specializes in designing action scenes and training actors. .
"I heard," Qing Ting frowned slightly, and the young man sighed, "Jennifer, if Mr. Cullen bullies me, I can count on you to save me from his clutches."
Rong At this moment, Xu has taken off his jacket and put on the short vest prepared by the crew. Next, he has to go for some movement training, and also need to hang Wia and fight and grab training. Naturally, it is impossible to wear a cumbersome jacket. He has to wear light.
Hearing that, Jennifer smiled and said: "I heard that you have an idiom in China called "Heroes to save the United States." Rong, my Chinese is not good. Don't lie to me. Are you sure you want me to save you?"
Rong Xu smiled and turned First looked at her assistant: "Do you think Jennifer is a hero?"
From the moment Jennifer appeared, Rosie's eyes never looked away from her. After listening to Rong Xu's words, she nodded vigorously, and repeatedly said: "Of course! Jennifer is so handsome, I like your "a virus" series, it is a classic among the classics, so handsome that there are no friends!"
Jennifer laughed. Gradually chatted with Rosie.
Soon, a staff member called Rong Xu to warm up for a run, so the two women stood in the greenhouse and chatted happily, letting Rong Xu walk helplessly under the hot sun and start running.
In the movie "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles", Rong Xu plays only an underage child. He was young and cowardly, and was bullied by his companions since he was a child, but in an emergency, he was able to shoot a police officer directly, and even took hostages to escape.
Seeing blood, many things are different.
During this 3,200 li escape career, Roy quickly woke up from the initial panic. He handcuffed the heroine in cold blood and drove away. On the way, he killed an innocent innkeeper and an ordinary traffic policeman who didn't know anything. The change in his temperament was a major feature in the script.
Obviously, the protagonist of this movie is a criminal villain through and through. However, in the first half of the script, he was ruthless and ruthless. After killing someone, he seemed to care about nothing and fear nothing. But in the second half, he was slowly moved by the heroine.
This is not a purebred love story. The heroine Natasha played by Jennifer is twelve years older than Roy and is more like his sister. When Roy was injured and unconscious, she quickly turned and left, but after a while, she returned and took the young child away.
After that, Roy slowly recognized the existence of this sister-like character, but he didn't know that the woman who rescued him from the abyss was actually a police officer. In the final confrontation with the police|chat, he stood in front of the woman, but unexpectedly a gunshot came from behind and shot him in the abdomen.
After that, he was sent to court for trial, and served more than 30 years in prison.
The ending of this movie is definitely not a good one, and leaving behind the fast plot rhythm and dazzling action scenes of the whole movie, Kerry will be ironic in the script.
The whole film satirizes two social realities, the first is racial discrimination.
No matter how powerful China is today, in fact, racist people still hide in the crowd. They are like ordinary people on weekdays, going to work and leaving get off work, from nine to five. But if you talk to him about racial skin issues, he will naturally ask you: "Don't you think that the black and yellow monkeys are like a joke made by God?"
Roy is Asian. A native of Huangzhou, he was bullied by his companions for this reason. There is no direct highlight in the plot, but there is nowhere to satirize this social reality.
The second point is the youth protection law that is currently highly respected in the United States.
In fact, in the United States, such protection laws are not too serious. In some countries, even if you kill dozens of people, even if you use extremely cruel methods to abuse an innocent poor girl to death, as long as you are under the legal age, the external media cannot even disclose your name and photo. , You only need to be educated for a period of time, you can change your name and surname, and regain your own life.
At the end, Roy got his sentence and Natasha came to visit him in prison.
Natasha persuaded him to reform and rehabilitate. After 30 years, he can still return to this world and get a brand new life. But Roy asked her, "Why didn't you kill me at the beginning?"
Natasha was tied up with her hands and feet in the first half of the movie , and she could only watch Roy kill. But afterwards, she had already gained the trust of this young man, and she could just look for opportunities directly like many police officers, without saying anything, and have the right to shoot you.
But the heroic policewoman said seriously: "I believe you can get a new life here."
However, listening to her kind words, the young criminal smiled coldly: "Here, The law can't give me a new life. My life is already dead.
" The plot of "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" is definitely not a reunion comedy, and it even makes people reflect on depression, but it is also Kliman. An innovative attempt by Sri Lanka. His eye-popping action scene is enough to earn him the box office, so he has to look for something special after the box office.
That's why there is such a film that is not perfect at all.
The hero is not a good person, and the heroine is never perfect.
All the characters are not full of storytelling and have great flaws, but this is a movie aimed at awards. Perhaps because of its excessive commercial nature, it cannot really win many awards, but if it succeeds in shooting, it will be a new attempt for all actors and directors.
Rong Xu quickly adapted to the seven-day special training.
On the first night, Mr. Cullen was very surprised and said to Rong Xu: "I can't believe it, you really managed to survive? Rong, your performance is as good as I imagined, but I'm sorry. To tell you, I will increase your training volume tomorrow. You have to know that these audiences in the United States do not like pure and weak beautiful men, they prefer men with strength."
Rubbing his sore calf, the teenager raised his head. Asked, "For example, you?"
Mr. Cullen showed the strong muscles on his arm: "Yes, just like me."
Jennifer on the side was very sincerely debunked: "Trust me, Yung, they like you more. Like this. How else would you star in "Makeup Flower Luo" become the second-place box office in the American film market this week?" The
two looked at each other and laughed tacitly.
Not far away, Director Klimans was reprimanding a young staff member. The director's temper was so hot that he couldn't even lift his head when talking about the staff member. Rosie frowned, "Xiao Xu, how did Director Kerry become like this? I remember the last time he came. Doesn't it seem like this?"
Rong Xu also raised his eyes and looked across. Before he could see clearly, he heard Jennifer say: "I heard that the old Mr. Holt came to Washington last month and beat his son. "Just after speaking, Jennifer covered her mouth and smiled: "Rong, I didn't say anything, but you didn't hear anything."
Junxiu's beautiful face showed a dumbfounding look, and Rong Xu smiled: "Okay. , I didn't hear anything."
Jennifer smiled: "But I'm also very curious, why the old Mr. Holt suddenly came to beat Kerry like this? It seems that even Kerry doesn't understand the reason, presumably he must
I'm so angry I'm going crazy." Rong Xu: "I don't know too much^_^"
What's the reason?
Well, the old Mr. Holt was really loyal, not only did not confess Qin Cheng, but also did not confess the reason.
Seven days passed quickly, and soon the launch conference of "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" was held in Washington. Director Klimans specially invited media reporters from all over the world. Under his previous propaganda campaign, everyone knew that he was going to shoot a large-scale action movie with a huge investment, and fans all over the world were waiting for this Kerry. Mans' style of action commercials.
"Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles", this movie went viral before it was broadcast.
Since two months ago, Klimans began to release news to the outside world, letting fans all over the world know that he is going to make a movie, and it is a very well-written movie. The film cost nearly 60 million U.S. dollars, rented an entire highway, and began to select scenes from all over the United States six months ago.
Just renting a highway is enough to give "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" a super high exposure. And now, when this crew held a launch conference, fans all over the world finally saw the luxurious lineup of this crew.
Director Klimans Holt, a well-known emerging director in the United States, is good at large-scale action scenes, especially at explosive scenes, station scenes and gunfight scenes. The commercial films he shot have a very good market among young people and are idols for many young audiences.
Actress Jennifer Strong is a first-line Hollywood actress, sexy and powerful, and often starred in action movies.
There is also the Oscar-winning photographer Mancado Fran, and the well-known post-production team of China with the Golden Phoenix Award...
Finally, it is Rong Xu.
When this handsome teenager appeared on live TV, some American audiences were confused and didn't understand who this young and strange actor was. But after watching the live broadcast of the press conference carefully, a large part of the audience suddenly realized: "He is the prince in "Zhu Hua Luo"!"
Yes, for American audiences, they may not know Rong Xu , But they definitely know the recent fire "Zhuang Hua Luo", and they may even have seen this movie in the cinema in person.
"Silent" only occupies a small number of theaters in the United States, but "Makeup Flower" and "Black Clouds" are also popular in the United States.
At the press conference, reporters kept asking questions, with sharp topics, and even directly forced the crew to ask some scandal* questions.
At the end, they finally started to ask about the movie. The first thing was to ask Kelimans: "Excuse me, Kerry, why did you choose to let Rong Lai play the leading actor in such a big action drama? He has good skills and can show beautiful Chinese kung fu?"
Faced with such a question, whether it is Rong Xu or Klimans, he has long been prepared.
Klimans smiled and looked at Rong Xu. The handsome blond director smiled lightly and started to compliment him quite naturally: "Although Rong is young, he is one of the most aura of actors I have ever seen. His acting skills are great, and his Chinese kung fu is also very good. I believe that when you enter the cinema and watch his performance, you will be attracted by his handsomeness, just like me."
Wen Yan, Rong Xu also He smiled and replied: "I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles"."
Smooth and beautiful English was slowly spit out from the boy's mouth, with a hint of British accent, the pronunciation was pure and wordless. Clear, like a perfect gentleman.
Rong Xu continued: "In this movie, I will play a boy with a complicated personality. He is bold and decisive, and he is timid and timid. Such a character has charm and brilliance that makes people hard to ignore. I am very grateful to K. Here, gave me this opportunity."
Kerry laughed, "Rong, you are so good that I fascinate." The
two touted each other, and then the reporter began to ask other questions.
Before the press conference, the crew had already determined many things, and the director's assistant wrote many answers to questions, which were handed over to Rong Xu and Jennifer, including film information that could be disclosed to reporters.
In addition, in fact, there is no need for Kelimans to deliberately say that Rong Xu is not a newcomer. Everyone knows that on such occasions, the crew must be harmonious and united.
Only in this way can it bring the greatest benefits to the film, and also allow the film to have more exposure.
And in this crew, Rong Xu is actually the least famous one.
Klimans has been famous for many years, and movies with a box office of more than 5 billion have more than ten fingers, basically a commercial blockbuster a year. Jennifer is also a well-known Hollywood action film actress, and her cumulative box office has exceeded 70 billion.
Two hours later, the launch conference of "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" officially ended.
The next day, news about the movie was published in major newspapers and magazines in the United States. On the Internet, the marketing team of the film crew also did not miss this opportunity, and carried out publicity throughout the network, bombarding them, letting the name "Three Thousand Two Hundred Miles" penetrate into the hearts of every netizen.
[I heard that this movie will not be released until summer, I really want to watch it! Kelimans partnered with Jennifer, and there is a very beautiful Chinese actor, who must be very beautiful! ]
Yes, in the promotional point of this movie, Kelimans portrays Rong Xu as a "vase character".
The audience knows that Jennifer is a famous star, and they don't know Rong Xu very much, at most they have only watched "Black Clouds" and "Zhuanghualuo". Before the movie was released, Klimans didn't mind letting the audience misunderstand the plot of the movie. It was clear that in this movie, Rong Xu was the martial artist. Until the end, Jennifer had his own play, but he wanted the audience to Focus on Rong Xu's face.
[This young Chinese actor looks really good! ]
Many netizens are so emotional.
It is much easier for them to accept "Rong Xu looks good" than "Rong Xu has great action skills."
After turning on the phone, it was different from what the outside netizens had imagined. In their hearts, this beautiful and handsome Chinese porcelain doll had to shoot super-intensity action scenes every day, while the Hollywood actress Jennifer wore a gentle long skirt, and was chic and comfortable every day. Sitting in the back seat of the car, as a pure vase.
Roy, played by Rong Xu, was just an ordinary bastard before. The worst thing he ever done was extortion, and at most he had helped sell hemp. But after the bank | robbery | robbery, he suddenly began to grow.
Klimans doesn't care how unreasonable the plot is, he just needs the best shots. So after being born on the run, Roy's force value soared at a speed visible to the naked eye, which also suffered Rong Xu, often shooting action scenes.
It was another intense action scene. The handsome and exquisite Dongfang boy was covered in dust and quickly ran away from the gas station.
Rong Xu rushed to the short wall of the gas station at a very fast speed, which was only about one meter high. Behind him, three strong men with the appearance of security guards shouted and rushed towards this side.
"Don't run! It's you, I know it's you!"
"John, hurry up, grab him, grab him the bounty is ours!"
But under the hot sun, the young man's right hand was propped against the low wall Above, and then when the wrist was applied, the tough and thin body was like a long knife, drawing a sharp arc in the air. After landing lightly, Rong Xu ran away, leaving the three strong men standing behind the low wall and quickly jumping over the wall to chase.
The scene was filmed eleven times before Rongxu was finally filmed. It's not that his acting skills are bad, but Klimans is too harsh. The first three times, Rong Xu couldn't get over that wall, but he finally managed to get over it. Klimans also felt that his movements were not graceful enough, and there was no effect of exploding eyeballs.
"Rong, you have to be handsome, handsome with all your strength!"
How can you be called handsome?
The sharp and neat movements, fierce and indifferent eyes.
A camera was pointed at Rong Xu's eyes. When he stepped over the wall and rolled to the ground, he suddenly raised his head, and his black hair slammed behind his head, revealing a pair of dark and vicious eyes. . This is the eyes of a child, but after so many things, after killing people, he became dangerous and terrible.
This look made Kelimans applaud, but Rong Xu smiled helplessly, and reached out to let Rosie disinfect the wound.
Eleven consecutive shootings inevitably caused Rong Xu to suffer a lot of scratches. When the knee hits the ground, it will form a bruise; if the whole person falls to the ground, it is more natural to rub the skin.
As an actor, this is something that Rong Xu will inevitably experience. On the other side, Jennifer, who was very "relaxed" in the scene, stepped forward, handed a salve to Rong Xu, and smiled: "When I was filming, I often used this salve to wipe the wound. Rong, this ointment works very well. You can try it too. By the way, you were really handsome just now. I believe that after the movie is released, the entire American female audience will be impressed by you."
Rong Xu took the ointment and handed it to Rosie. Rosie squeezed her mouth distressedly, and carefully helped Rong Xu with medicine, and whispered: "I've scratched my elbow again, Xiao Xu, does it hurt or not, the director always asks you to repeat the shooting, but you are hurt too. Too much."
Three days after the machine was turned on, Rong Xu had no major injuries, but minor injuries continued. When filming the scene yesterday afternoon, the broken glass cut his finger, leaving a lot of blood, and Rosie was so scared that tears came down.
Rosie speaks Chinese, with a small voice and a very fast speaking speed, which Jennifer did not understand for a while. But Rong Xu said dumbfoundedly: "Sister Xiaoqian, you said in front of Jennifer that I was badly injured. I really feel ashamed."
Jennifer understood what Rong Xu meant.
It is only natural that the actor was injured for filming. In Rong Xu's previous life, a female celebrity friend of his accidentally fell from coercion while filming, suffered a spinal fracture, and spent a whole year in a wheelchair.
In this world, Jennifer is a good example. Four years ago, Jennifer fell from a tall building because she was shooting an action movie. It is said that there is still a scar on the back of her head. Although the other part of the hair blocks the scar, there is a hair near the wound. nor.
Of course Rosie knew the truth, but: "But I just feel distressed..."
She was so distressed that Rong Xu suffered this little injury. She did not dare to imagine that if Rong Xu suddenly fell from a tall building like Jennifer, she passed out, and large swaths of blood flowed from the back of his head. , Then she will cry bitterly.
Listening to Rosie's words, Rong Xu just smiled and didn't say more.
In fact, the most distressed Rong Xu in this world is not Rosie, but a certain man.
On the first day of shooting, there was a bruise on Rong Xu's chin. There was no bleeding, but the skin was a little torn. This kind of small wound can be completely covered with foundation, but after taking a bath at night, Rong Xu doesn't have any makeup at all, so the wound can't be covered.
At that time, he opened the video chat and said with a smile: "The first day of filming was very hard, but Jennifer gave me a lot of experience. I haven't filmed action scenes before, but this time I have her instructed and benefited a lot." In addition, Rong Xu hasn't done much action scenes.
However, after saying this, for a long time, there was no answer.
Rong Xu: "...?"
Rong Xu raised his head and looked at the man on the screen of the phone in amazement. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he couldn't see it, but he saw Qin Cheng frowned and his dark eyes were dead. Gaze on the teenager's face.
Qin Cheng: "Are you injured?"
