Chapter 573 [Selecting a supporting role, participating in the screening ceremony]
There are only a few big supporting roles in "Quick Chase", so there is no need for celebrities to play to attract attention and it is easy to choose.
Liang Kun and producer Grig Berlanti, casting director, participated in the audition together.
Supporting actors don’t need to “audience” to see if they are on camera, just audition is enough. There is no heroine in this film, and there is no need for beautiful “vase” actresses. Men just need to look for those who look like gangsters.
The original movie was released on October 24, 2014. The movie has been filmed for many years, and some characters must be changed.
The source of everything is the stupid son of the gangster boss, Liang Kun chose the actor Joseph Morgan, born in 1981. This Joseph released an orange mission to play an important role in the movie.
Liang Kun chose Joseph for another reason. His acting skills were good. Before he entered Hollywood, he spent a lot of time on stage plays in western London. In the parallel world, Joseph became famous in 2010 because of playing the role of Klaus, the villain in "The Vampire Diary".
Because Klaus was very popular, Joseph later became the leading actor in the spin-off drama "The First Vampire".
The actor of the gangster boss "Vigo" is quite famous, and Liang Kun chose Kurt Russell.
Kurt became famous in the late 1980s and played many classic roles, including love comedy like "Love in the Water" and the action film "Raging Tiger and Mad Dragon" that worked with Stallone.
In recent years, Kurt has been filming all bad movies, and he is almost at the point where he has no roles to play. A long time later, he will play the old agent "Mr. Anonymous" in "Fast and Furious 7" and the old father of Star Lord's stallion in "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", and return to the public's sight.
Kurt wants to take on tasks for important roles and prove himself orange tasks. He takes on this film Liang Kun can complete one task. As long as the movie has a good box office, he can complete another one in the future.
Another important character in the movie is to kill the male lead John and prove that he is stronger. He received a million rewards and had a fierce competition with John.
The original William Dafoe, the friend character who helped the male protagonist, was changed by Liang Kunmo to the person who wanted to kill the male protagonist. He had some scenes and was also killed by him.
This character is barely considered an "elite monster" and is played by a white man named Bud Cople.
Bude was born in 1968, 191cm tall and looks very fierce. He has no fame, just an actor who plays a supporting role in TV series, often plays gangsters.
Liang Kunbude also did the orange mission by the way. This character doesn't require any acting skills, just a few lines. Even so, it is the biggest role Bude has ever played. He has hardly ever had any lines in the movie before.
Originally, the role of Dafu made Liang Kun feel very annoying, and the effect was to make John look weak.
He saved John twice in the movie. The first time was when John was resting in the hotel. The female killer Perkins came to assassinate him. He fired a warning. The second time was when John was caught by the gangster boss Vigo. He sniped the minion who was about to kill John and helped John get out of trouble.
This kind of plot appears in the movie, purely because of the literary youths of the screenwriter and director. It is precisely because of these superfluous characters that the global box office of the first part of "Quick Chase" did not exceed 100 million, and the plot was criticized by many viewers.
This plot is very illogical. The boss offered a high reward to kill John. Why did he still capture him alive? Isn’t it all just to shoot him to death? The boss blew the protagonist in front and said how awesome he was. As a result, he didn’t die because the boss talked too much nonsense and saved his friends.
There is also a female killer character in the original movie, who breaks the rules of the hotel and assassinates the male protagonist in the hotel. This character Liang Kun is directly removed when he changes the script, and it has little meaning except introducing the rules of the hotel.
Liang Kun’s idea is to just introduce the role of the hotel verbally. When the sequel is filmed, the male lead will become the only killer who dares to break the rules. That will make him even cooler and unique.
Liang Kun's script modified by Momo did not portray John and hotel manager Winston as friends. John doesn't care about interpersonal relationships. His setting is a super strong man in the killer circle who makes many people feel scared.
The hotel's store manager Winston has many scenes, and the actor did not replace him, so he chose Ian McCorshawn. His image and temperament are very consistent with the role settings and the pay is not high. Ian's face is destined to be unable to play the protagonist and can only play supporting roles. If he gets the role without a task, and the box office is higher than the sequel, there will be an orange task.
Liang Kun took it and he would definitely shoot a sequel as long as he had time. He didn't want to be a director only in Hollywood, and he had to have his own series as an actor to be considered successful. He could not get into the Justice League by making superhero movies at Warner because he was a "clown".
After the audition is over, Liang Kun can complete three orange tasks by just waiting for the actors to sign the contract.
Other characters have no room to play, and they are all supporting roles with no lines. Liang Kun doesn’t have to worry about it, and someone will find suitable extras in the actors.
Liang Kun has already negotiated with Warner to start the new movie and completed casting. No one from Paramount Pictures has contacted him to talk to him about the plans for the next movie.
Universal Pictures, Disney and Fox have contacted Liang Kun to ask him about his plans for his next movie and whether he has any intention to cooperate.
Liang Kun tactfully turned down the invitation. He decided to cooperate with Warner before the Oscars. Until now, Paramount's senior executives have not responded.
It is obvious that Paramount does not attach as much importance to Liang Kun as Warner.
Liang Kun was nominated for the Oscar and made three consecutive movies that made great money. Paramount did not propose to work with him for a long time, nor did he give him much praise.
This attitude is like Paramount is extremely awesome. Anyone who wants to cooperate with them must take the initiative to raise it and hold their thighs.
Paramount also treated Spielberg and DreamWorks in this way, so Spielberg had the intention to withdraw after just two years of cooperation. When other companies bought horse bones with their daughters, Paramount and his group did not pay attention to talents at all.
As the first company to cooperate with Marvel, Paramount did not take Marvel superhero movies seriously and never thought about acquiring Marvel's long-term cooperation. Now, these lack-eyed senior executives have no idea what they will miss.
This company is so arrogant now, and when the box office of other companies' superhero movies exploded, they were stunned.
They had no choice but to choose to shoot "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to create their own superhero. How did the four Turtles compare with Marvel's handsome guys? So they compared Megan Fox with others, adding a lot of scenes to her.
The most ridiculous thing is that the scripts of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" are all copied by Spider-Man. The Iron Man version of Slade failed to run to the top of the building to release poison gas, and the one copied was not the best one.
A few days later, Liang Kun's three orange tasks were completed. Strength +1, life span +2, all of which were rewards with attributes.
The reward for strength comes from the strong man Bude who wants to play the killer. He looks very powerful, about the same height as Liang Kun and has more muscles.
Liang Kun stayed in Los Angeles for a month, finished shooting and fighting training for the film, and flew to New York alone.
Teresa Palmer is no longer staying at home and is going back to Australia. Liang Kun shows all kinds of magical things that make her willing to believe what Liang Kun said. If she doesn't go home for the summer vacation this year, she won't have so much time to spend with her parents in the future.
Liang Kun checked in the hotel one day in advance and attended the New York premiere of "The Dark Knight" on the 14th.
He doesn't need an assistant, and all clothes suitable for participating in activities are kept in storage space, so it is very convenient for him to change clothes. If an assistant follows him, he has to hide this "superpower", which will make things troublesome.
He specially chose a purple suit and black leather shoes because he did not wear "clown" makeup and was not dark. With his flat hair style similar to Captain America, he looked very energetic.
In fact, the darlings of all fashion circles love purple deeply, but because this outstanding color is difficult to hold, not many people wear it during the event.
Liang Kun rented a Cadillac and asked the driver to take him to the theater.
As soon as he appeared on the red carpet, he caused a lot of sensation. The reporter took photos wildly and the fans screamed.
This dazzling color is not supported by its appearance. If you want to wear it elegant and gentlemanly, you have to rely on your figure and temperament. Liang Kun has long limbs and looks gorgeous and retro in purple, like a noble young man.
Christian Bale also wears a straight suit. The two arrived at the same time. After saying hello, they stood together and took photos to let the reporters take photos. Batman and the Joker are enemies in the movie, and they are good buddies outside the court.
Directors Christopher Nolan, Michael Kane, Allen Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and others also attended the premiere.
Tonight, there were stars gathering. Because the clown replaced him, no one sighed about Heath Ledger's death, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Bale was interviewed and talked about his opponent in the film. "I am really happy to be able to work with Liang. He plays a clown in a beautiful way and will surely become a classic character in the history of film!"
Michael Kane also praised Liang Kun before the start of the movie. "He is a very powerful actor. We often drink coffee and chat with each other. He is a cheerful and humorous young man, but as soon as he enters the camera, he will become a clown, which makes people shudder. I think Liang Kun's performance in the movie is the best villain performance I have ever seen!"
All the critics' curiosity was aroused, and they wanted to know how good Liang Kun was acting so that they would be praised by everyone in the crew.
Liang Kun also praised other actors, especially Bell.
Chapter completed!
