Chapter 2327 Shots and Threats
Li Binbin looked at Kim Yu-fan with annoyance and said for a long time: "Xiao Jin, you are a bit arrogant. In fact, the box office in Asia is not concentrated in China, Japan and South Korea. As long as the box office in China, Japan and South Korea can be guaranteed, it is basically equivalent to guaranteeing the box office in Asia."
Speaking of this, Li Binbin shook his head helplessly and said, "Anyway, the whole world has not regarded West Asia as a box office market. In recent years, the situation has been much better because of one Israel. However, Israel is busy fighting with other countries, and the atmosphere is very tense. Although the movie can be released, not many people have the heart to watch. In addition to Israel, Saudi Arabia and other countries have developed economies, they do not seem to like watching movies very much. As for other Arab countries, including Iran, movies are often not available at all. Over time, these countries have been abandoned by the movie market."
"In Central Asia, those countries are not very developed in their economies, and the lives of ordinary people are relatively difficult. How many people have the heart to watch movies? To put it bluntly, the Asian market is East Asia. In addition to Mongolia and North Korea, there are three countries in China, Japan and South Korea. As for Southeast Asia, due to economic and population reasons, it is just that, so don't look forward to it too much."
"The end is South Asia. To put it bluntly, South Asia means India, but the average economy of India is still relatively low. In addition, India has a Bollywood, and the culture and personality of Indians, even you and South Korea are even xenophobic. Is it basically a luxury to have a good box office in India?"
"So, you said that you can only guarantee the box office of China, Japan and South Korea, which is actually equivalent to guaranteeing the box office market in Asia."
Lee Binbin looked at Kim Yu-fan and couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, you are really amazing. You have achieved such great achievements at such a young age. This is something that no one expected. Just like me, I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, but in fact I can't even guarantee the Chinese market, let alone Japan and South Korea. In short, you are indeed an actor who has popularity and influence in the three countries of China, Japan and South Korea, and has more box office appeal."
"Haha, luck, luck!" Kim Yu-fan smiled and explained with a "humble" smile. It's a pity that this explanation seemed to be showing off no matter how you look at it.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Are you familiar with the role you want to play? You should know that this time you are a Chinese soldier. I hope you can play well and don't mess it up."
"Don't worry, Sister Binbin, I know that I will definitely perform a qualified Chinese soldier this time." Kim Yu-fan knew the status and image of Chinese soldiers in the minds of Chinese people, so in the face of Li Binbin's somewhat overdue request, Kim Yu-fan was not dissatisfied with it. On the contrary, he nodded seriously and promised.
After all, Kim Yu-fan is a Chinese, at least his thoughts and soul are Chinese, so he doesn’t think there is anything strange to understand what Lee Binbin means. If it were other Koreans, they would definitely be dissatisfied with Lee Binbin. You are not a director. How can I act and care about your business? What qualifications do you have to ask me to do? Who are you?
Li Binbin also came to his senses at this time, knowing that his request was a bit too much, but when he saw Kim Yu-fan's answer was refreshing, he immediately laughed happily. At least Kim Yu-fan was not like any and all the Koreans with machismo who he knew. He even said it was a bad side, that was, he looked like I was the best in the universe, and you were the one who you were.
This also made Li Binbin have a better impression of Kim Yu-fan. He had no idea before, just after Wang Zhonglei's introduction, he simply understood it as a familiar person.
Soon, the two became familiar with each other. If it weren't for the reminder of the crew, they would have started filming, and they probably would have continued to chat.
Although the chat was interrupted, this did not hinder their interest. It was rare to meet an actor from the same Asian in the Hollywood commercial blockbuster "Transformers" movie series, and the two planned to go for a meal after filming today.
Although the two are not the same country, they are both Asians. In the crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", the two, as Asians, naturally subconsciously began to "group together", which is also a very normal phenomenon and situation.
The shooting is very simple and smooth, and there is basically nothing Kim Yu-fan has to do, because Kim Yu-fan's scenes are not in a hurry to shoot. After all, the crew is now filming in Hong Kong, and the focus is on speed and efficiency. Unless there is no way, all the shots that can be re-shooted afterwards will be placed in the back. Now you must first shoot the scenes of the field first.
The next day, Kim Yu-hwan continued to come to the crew, and this time he followed the crew to move to a certain East Commercial Building for scene shooting. There was no scene of Kim Yu-hwan. The reason why Kim Yu-hwan was willing to come to the crew was to be as familiar with the crew's shooting rhythm as possible.
This is very important. Each crew is different, because of the tacit understanding of the crew and the director's own unique personality and rhythm, the shooting rhythm is also completely different.
If you are slow but the director's shooting pace is fast, you will drag the entire crew down. Some directors like to talk about operas and even make demonstrations in person, while others are like old men to let you perform and show your acting skills. But if the effect and picture the director wants is not achieved, you just wait for the director to rant.
Therefore, the first thing any actor will do when he comes to the crew is to establish a good relationship with the crew staff, then understand and master the director's shooting rhythm, and finally get familiar with the actors who have a scene opposite him as soon as possible to facilitate formal shooting.
"Huh~What's wrong?" Just as Kim Yu-fan and Iron Kruger were discussing the role of the Chinese soldier he played, he suddenly heard a clamor from not far away, which immediately attracted the attention of Kim Yu-fan and Iron Kruger.
Immediately afterwards, Kim Yu-fan found that more and more people were gathering not far away, especially the crew members rushed over, and the noise became louder and louder.
This scene immediately made Kim Yu-fan and Ilen Kruger look at each other, and both of them gave an answer from each other's eyes: Something happened!
Without any hesitation, Kim Yu-fan and Ilen Kruger ran over directly, wanting to see what was going on.
When Kim Yu-fan and Ellen Kruger came to the crowd, they found two young HK people, who seemed to be arguing fiercely with director Michael Bay.
Although Kim Yu-fan is good at Cantonese, he is limited to good. Kim Yu-fan said that he was also stunned and couldn't understand the two HK fast Cantonese.
"What's going on?" At this time, Ellen Kruger asked a staff member.
"I don't know, it seems that our crew is going to shoot here. These two HK people are from a shop here. They asked us to pay 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. This is completely different from what we had negotiated before. It is completely a blackmail. Of course, Michael would not agree, and then he started arguing."
"Did you call the police?" I don't know when Ian Bryce also came to the side, staring at the development of the matter with a nervous look on his face.
"Call the police!" The crew member nodded and said, "At least, I just saw someone calling the police, and there were some HK citizens around him who also called, so they should have called the police."
"fuk!" Ian Bryce didn't nod, but he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Seeing the two young HK men very excited, Ian Bryce was really worried that something would happen. If something really happened, it would have a great impact on the entire crew. As a producer, Ian Bryce would undoubtedly have to bear the responsibility.
Kim Yu-fan stared at the two HK men with his eyes tightly. Listening to the conversation between the crew and Ian Bryce, something suddenly appeared in Kim Yu-fan's memory. It seemed that when "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" was filmed in Hong Kong, the day after the crew came to Hong Kong, Michael Bey was blackmailed by suspected gangsters and attacked, and suffered certain injuries to his face.
Similarly, Michael Bei, who was angry, refused to go to the hospital for treatment. In addition to his poor injuries, he also made a silent statement. In the end, he probably also had a slight idea of finishing the Hong Kong part earlier and leaving earlier. Such an unpleasant thing happened, Michael Bei must have wanted to leave Hong Kong earlier at this time.
Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked at two HK men who were arguing fiercely with the police. No matter how they looked, they felt that the other party was like a gangster, deliberately jumping out to make trouble.
After all, "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" is a movie that Paramount Pictures attaches great importance to, and as a typical commercial blockbuster, Paramount Pictures has invested a lot in "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", a total of $210 million.
With such a large investment, it would be a joke to say that the crew has no money and cannot pay the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Obviously, the crew will definitely give a certain amount of financial compensation for this kind of scene shooting, and it will be distributed uniformly. For the reputation of the crew and the movie, it will definitely not be owed.
And the reason why Michael Bay is now struggling with HK$100,000 and quarreling with the other party is undoubtedly that he feels blackmailed and is so angry.
If nothing unexpected happens, two HK men will instantly break out and start attacking Michael Bey, and even the police on the side will be attacked.
Well, except for the members of the underworld, who has the courage to attack the police, and even attack the police. Similarly, the attacks on the police have happened. These two people are clearly trying to make things worse, and they probably won't really make the so-called 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
When he thought that Michael Bey would be attacked soon, Kim Yu-fan thought about it and pushed the crowd away and walked directly to Michael Bey just in case.
Fortunately, for Americans or Western countries, everyone will watch, but they will wisely maintain a safe distance, and they will not be with Michael Bay anyway.
At most, there is a real conflict, just call the police.
Not to mention the indifference of Chinese people, in fact, many people around the world are like this, but countries like those of the United States that have received higher education are happy to stand up and help others when encountering other things. However, such quarrels and conflicts, if they do not understand the situation and their own volumes will be attacked, injured and threatened, they will basically stand aside.
So, Kim Yu-fan came to Michael Be easily and happened to see two people arguing with the police. As Michael Be said, "You are blackmailing, I want to sue you", a man suddenly punched Michael Be directly in the face.
However, the opponent's attack was not successful, and Kim Yu-hwan had already reached out to stop him. Not only did he stop him, Kim Yu-hwan also grabbed the opponent's hand, pulled the opponent in his direction, then stretched out his foot and tripped the opponent directly, and then sat up directly.
I said a lot, but in fact everything happened in a moment, just a few seconds. When Kim Yu-hwan sat on this man, everyone realized it.
Another man saw that his companion was controlled by Kim Yu-fan, and he rushed towards Kim Yu-fan without any thoughts, but was stopped by Michael Bei on the way.
At this time, several policemen on the side came to their senses and rushed up to control the two of them as soon as possible. After all, they were just quarrels at the beginning, and the police were still persuading and mediating, but now they have changed from quarrels to attacks, reaching the level of violent behavior. Then things are obviously much more serious and the nature has changed.
"Boy, wait for me. This matter will not be so easy. Don't think of leaving Hong Kong." The two were controlled by the police. One of them looked at Kim Yu-hwan with a ferocious look on his face and threatened Kim Yu-hwan.
"Haha!" Kim Yu-fan smiled, not taking the other party's words to heart.
Kim Yu-fan is not stupid either. He takes action from the other party’s decisive action, as well as his expression and the fierce aura emitted by his body. If he says that the other party is just an ordinary businessman, Kim Yu-fan believes that he is a fool.
Therefore, Kim Yu-hwan could feel that the other party was not bragging or talking big, but Kim Yu-hwan didn't care.
"Haha, I don't want to leave Hong Kong. What are you kidding? I really think who you are. The CEO of Hong Kong, even if he is the CEO of Hong Kong, it is impossible, and he dare not stop me."
"Don't be proud. I know you are a star, but to be honest, we have methods and methods to deal with you stars, and we have done similar things. You wait. At most, I will attack you simply at most, and it has not caused any harm to you. I will come out soon. At that time, my brothers will naturally come to you."
Kim Yu-fan looked at the other party speechlessly. Damn, is it necessary to be so open and upright? We are entertainment novels, not gangster novels, okay? Why do you have to be so aggressive? It seems that you can't do it without using the ultimate move.
"Mr. Kim Yu-fan, please rest assured that our Hong Kong has the best security place. If you are in Hong Kong, no one can limit your freedom in life, and no one will cause any harm to you. If necessary, our Hong Kong police can provide you with 24-hour protection throughout the day."
Seeing Kim Yu-fan being threatened by gang members, a policeman quickly walked up to Kim Yu-fan and said with a serious look on his face.
There is no way, whether it is Michael Bay or Kim Yu-fan, or even the movie "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", it has a very high reputation and popularity around the world. At this time, if the crew, even the director and the actor Kim Yu-fan have an accident in Hong Kong and are attacked and threatened by gang members, the impact will definitely be very great at that time, and it can even be said to have a sensation around the world, and then Hong Kong will be completely embarrassed by the embarrassment.
Then there is no doubt that the Hong Kong police will undoubtedly bear tremendous pressure and accusations, which also makes the policeman who leads the team hate the two obvious gang members who are under control. Damn it, I won’t say anything if you make a small fuss, but now you clearly have to do something, and it’s a big deal, which is too much and cannot tolerate it.
If it weren't actually suitable, the police would almost say that they could apply to the Hong Kong government to request ZGBD to protect Kim Yu-fan in close personal protection and give relevant rights, and if necessary, they could counterattack or even kill the enemy.
Damn, I look down on our Hong Kong police and I am not even very afraid of the Flying Tigers. But if you zgbd, your gang members will continue to be arrogant and look at it. I really don’t know how the word "death" is written.
As a joke, when Hong Kong returned, zgbd had not yet officially entered Hong Kong, and countless gang members had already feared and chose to leave. Or they had completely lurked and did not dare to have any things or situations that had previously been domineering in Hong Kong.
For the gangsters at that time, Chinese soldiers were very terrible troops. Moreover, under the propaganda of the British government at that time, they always wanted to shoot and kill people, which made many Hong Kong citizens a little worried at that time, let alone gang members.
In fact, after Hong Kong returned and zgbd entered Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government and police had completely backed up and backbone, and were many times tougher towards gang members than before. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, when gang members were at the craziest time, the kind of gang members dared to attack the police station and attack the police did not happen again.
Because everyone knows that once gang members really attack the police station or attack the police, and the matter is completely aggravated, the Hong Kong government and the central government will definitely unite to let zgbd step out of the military camp. Once zgbd step out of the military camp, there is no doubt that it will be a bloody storm, and any gang or gang member who commits the crime will definitely not be able to escape.
Therefore, the current Hong Kong police are definitely much tougher in facing gang members than before Hong Kong's return.
