991. Treatment of Rising Stars(3/4)
After coming down, the assistant pushed the ladder directly to the left rudder direction.
After checking the first and second rigging, he ran directly towards Xu Xin wearing a reflective vest and a safety helmet.
"Director, there is no problem with the safety measures and we can start shooting at any time."
After hearing this, Silva, as deputy director Xu Xin, handed over the confirmation document in his hand.
Kevin signed his name.
From this moment on, if there is any problem with the security measures, then Kevin and the association behind him are the first persons responsible.
It is legally binding.
I have to say that Hollywood is very professional in these aspects.
But Xu Xin’s first sentence was:
"Kevin, put that guy down quickly. It looks like he's about to be hanged."
Kevin didn't look surprised, he just nodded and waved in the direction of the truck:
"Let them go!"
The tone was the same as that of a kidnapping scene.
After the guy was put down, he walked aside. When the workers removed the safety rigging, Xu Xin also saw several red marks on the guy's stomach.
"Simon, he's hurt."
In line with the responsibility of the director, he gave a reminder.
"..."
Simon Reyes' eyes looked a little strange.
However, he did not speak directly, but said:
"Xu, do you still have an impression of him?"
"……ah?"
This time it was Xu Xin's turn to be confused.
My heart is talking about a stuntman, what impression should I have of him?
What's more... you can't tell us Asian faces apart, and we can't tell you apart either.
Looking at his doubtful eyes, Simon Reyes shrugged:
"Last year in Berlin, he won the title of the Berlin Film Festival's most anticipated top ten European rising stars selected by the media."
"ah????"
Xu Xin was even more confused:
"He's an actor?"
"Yes, and he is an actor who has played the leading role in a movie."
"Wait a minute……"
Xu Xin felt a little ridiculous, looking at that buddy's face...
Not bad, quite handsome.
He is probably in his early twenties.
Won the Berlin Film Festival media review of the top ten highly anticipated new stars this bulk award...
Have you ever played a leading role in a movie?
"He's working as a stuntman in Hollywood now?"
But his surprised attitude was met with an indifferent shrug from Simon Reyes:
"That's right. You seem to be surprised."
"Aren't you surprised?"
"Why should I be surprised? His job was an opportunity I gave him. His name is Bill Skarsgård, he is 23 years old. He is a Swede and has played several small roles in Europe... For me,
That’s all.”
"..."
Xu Xin was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he asked:
"Because this is Hollywood?"
"Yeah, because this is Hollywood."
The team leader, who was well-known in the advertising industry, nodded to Xu Xin with a strange look in his eyes and told him a very cruel American dream.
Then he asked Xu Xin a very strange question.
"Do you want his contact information? Xu."
"……ah????"
Xu Xin was even more confused.
no……
What does this guy mean?
…
Anyway.
The experience of a stuntman. Although Xu Xin was surprised by the competitive nature of Hollywood... But at the same time, he was in the United States and Hollywood at this moment, and he was also a link in the food chain.
It was like for the first time Simon Reyes was completely paid to do something.
As for this Volvo truck commercial, it was because he had collaborated with Xu Xin for the first time, so it made sense that he could get this well-paid job.
In Hollywood, there are only BODY and NOBODY.
Xu Xin would not favor that stuntman more just because he seemed to have "little success" in Europe.
At most, I think that guy's eyes are quite big and his face is not ugly.
Jean-Claude Van Damme would not care if his stuntman completed a dangerous job for him.
He changed several sets of clothes, and finally Xu Xin chose a blue denim jacket and dark gray trousers that looked too small at first glance, but was actually completely supported by this guy's muscle bar clothes.
After making the selection, the time came to around 9 o'clock.
Jean-Claude Van Damme climbed into the truck.
First, stand.
I felt the support of the two rearview mirrors.
Later, when asked what he felt uncomfortable about, he expressed his opinion.
The footing of the rear view mirror is a bit unstable.
He asked questions and the crew solved them.
Soon, engineers provided a solution.
That is to weld a base to the rearview mirror so that Jean-Claude Van Damme can step on it, eliminating the need to maintain balance caused by narrow support points.
The plan was approved by Xu Xin, on the condition that it should not be too conspicuous.
Then the trucks were separated to a distance of 2.7 meters.
With the help of ladders and staff, this guy's famous straight horse appeared in everyone's field of vision for the first time.
Xu Xin looked at it with a sigh on his face.
This guy's legs are really too long.
After confirming that the distance was correct, the painters of the film crew began to appear.
They have to draw three lines.
One is the position line of the truck that keeps traveling in a straight line.
The second line is the driving line of another car when Jean-Claude Van Damme stood on the mirror.
The third line is the driving line two meters and seventy meters after the vehicle starts on the sideline.
There is also a dotted line at the end, which is used as a reference for lane keeping for trucks changing lanes.
This work basically takes a whole morning.
And Jean-Claude Van Damme's mission has ended.
All that's left is for the crew to plan the camera's positioning route according to the shooting ideas provided by Xu Xin.
The crew was busy, but Jean-Claude Van Damme didn't leave either.
At first, after seeing Xu Xin smoking and staring at the monitor, he unfolded the shade of the RV and sat in the shade.
To be continued...
