Chapter 359

A business building near Warner Studios in Hollywood.

In the office with simple decoration, Yuan Xiangren was painting when suddenly an employee knocked in the door and said, "Boss, there is a ghost guy below to come to you, saying that he had an invitation."

"Is it the boss of Firefly Pictures?"

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

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

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

Soon, the employee led the person into the house.

"Sorry, I'm disturbing. Are you?"

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

Yuan Xiangren was polite and guessed his purpose.

What will happen if the boss of a film company finds a martial arts team?

He was born in the 1940s and has been practicing martial arts with several brothers since childhood. He has been involved in martial arts in his early years and has been a stunt actor.

Later, he was named as a martial arts coach and followed his senior brother Tang Jia to design actions for Zhang Che.

In the entire Yuan family, Yuan Baye is the most famous, but Yuan Xiangren is the one who is the most famous. As early as the mid-1970s, he was a little famous in Shaw Brothers.

The more well-known guest performances include the old beggar sold to Ah Xing in "Kung Fu" and the beggar who taught Su Chaharcan's sleeping Arhat Fist in "The Martial Arts Principal Success Su Qi'er". However, this is all later.

Since the decline of Hong Kong films and the Yuan family has gone to Hollywood to develop, he has helped his elder brother Yuan Baye and assumed the responsibility of the martial arts commander.

Anyway, they rely on technology to make a living, and are not affected by the rise and fall of the market in the whole place.

Lehman sat openly and asked first: "Where is Mr. Yuan going? Is it easy to say?"

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

This is unfortunate.

Leman thought to himself, and then caught a pile of manuscript paper on the table, and asked, "Is this?"

"Oh, just drawing is about action design," Yuan Xiangren explained.

"Can you see it?" Lehman felt a little embarrassed, "I originally wanted to ask Master Yuan Ba ​​to work with us on a movie."

When he heard that business came to his door, Yuan Xiangren quickly said, "Yes, but the painting was not very good."

After a while, after reading the manuscript, Leman gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, just looking at it, you will feel the picture in your mind. But this is mainly about drawing leg skills, and will you design it on your hands?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Xiangren asked: "What do you want to be like? Be more masculine, more viewable, or pay attention to virtual move skills."

"It looks smooth and fast, and you will pay attention to the viewing level."

"Okay, we're very good at this."

"Well, I know this. I came to you because of this. But if Master Yuan Ba ​​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 assigned the "Charlie's Angels" and "The Matrix" that we participated in the production."

Such suggestive words quickly penetrated Yuan Xiangren's heart.

Their Yuan family is still very busy in Hollywood, but in the past two years, they have a feeling of being a disciple of the church and starving the master to death.

In the early years, foreigners had rough movements, basically one move by one, just like boxing. Since the martial arts teams of Hong Kong films entered Hollywood to explore, many movement designs have been learned by others.

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

There is no way, don’t use your own people, can’t you still use outsiders?

Foreigners are not stupid.

As a result, the Yuan family team is not as popular as before, and many foreign teams have also risen.

In the next few years, Yuan Jiaban even put his work focus back to Hong Kong Island, Taiwan and the gradually emerging mainland entertainment industry.

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

However, although the Yuan family ran around in the two places, Yuan Xiangren still knew some news about Hollywood and knew that the person in front of him became famous as a director. He must be short of money and was likely to reach a cooperation.

But he was very cunning and did not speak in this way. He just smiled and said, "They didn't take a slow photo shoot. I can take some time to go there, and it's okay to exchange ideas."

Leman thought about it for a while, but he felt it was not bad. Anyway, he definitely didn't have the professional understanding of the Yuan family class in action design.

As long as director Nolan submits the desired effect, it will be another matter whether he can do it or not.

So Lehman stopped going around and simply said: "I came here today to talk to you about cooperation. My film company will work with Warner to make a super British movie. If it is convenient, I would like to ask you to be responsible for the action design."

"Super English movie?"

"Oh, it's Batman's adaptation, and the roughly shooting budget will be around 150 million."

“…”

Yuan Xiangren's heart beat faster in an instant.

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

Who is more important, isn't there a number?

"I watched a little movie about your actions and thought that smooth punching and kicking skills would be suitable for Batman. I wonder what you mean?"

"this......"

Yuan Xiangren has tended to agree, but his brother has the final say in the Yuan family. His cautious personality makes him unable to take on a big reply immediately. What if his brother takes on the role again, this is not accurate. He had to smile and said, "I still need to consider it. I will give you a reply tomorrow, okay?"

"Well, this is my business card. If you have news, call me."

Lehman took out one from his bag, and the design was quite simple, with his name and a string of his private phone numbers written on it.

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

"Then I won't bother you, let's talk again if you have the chance."

Lehman got up and left.

He had never filmed a movie that needed martial arts in a lot before. The "Bad Guy" was also a foreign team. He was good at gunfire and close combat, but in terms of skills or fluency, he did not rely on fragmented editing ("Spy Shadows" was a fragmented editing. In fact, the rough movements in it were all made of editing to make it look at, but this consumed energy and time, because a shot had to be disrupted, cut and then combined countless times), and Lehman thought of the Chinese martial arts in the past.

Uncle Long’s team basically revolves around his personal service. The Hong family class is not developing in Hollywood.

Then the only suitable one is the Yuan Family.
