I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

For filmmakers, the ritual of starting up a movie is a must.

The opening ceremony of China requires the burning of incense and the unveiling of red cloth.

On the American side, prayers and opening champagne are the same steps.

Su Mu took Little Orange and a translator into Vin Diesel's set.

The studio seemed a bit crowded with people from various departments.

In the innermost part,

The crowd gathered around Vin Diesel and several handsome or sexy actors and actresses.

In fact, all the roles were finalized two weeks ago.

But Vin Diesel left all the process of getting to know each other after joining the group.

So it was the first time today that Su Mu met all the actors.

Briefly describe the plot of the first part,

It revolves around the first encounter between two male protagonists.

The important roles in it are except Brian played by Su Mu and Dominic played by Vin Diesel.

And Dominic's woman, Letty.

and his sister, Mia.

There are also team members, Vince, Taj, etc.

…

"Wow, isn't that Jordana! An international supermodel!"

Little Orange's eyes widened and she said in surprise.

Su Mu heard the sound and looked over.

That is a sexy blonde woman with plump buttocks and curves... If compared with domestic actresses,

Probably four times as big as Tong Han, three times as big as Ning Yuyan, twice as big as Qiong Anqi, and 1.5 times as big as Ai Yanran.

Of course, Su Mu actually paid little attention to these things.

What he cares more about is their connotation.

You know, more or less will give people different feelings.

Su Mu looked at Xiao Juzi with surprise: "Do you still know about international supermodels? Don't you usually only pay attention to the top brothers in China?"

Xiao Juzi looked proud: "Of course I know. I won't delay watching them when I see my brother, so boss, do you want to act opposite her? Oh no, it's an emotional scene!"

Su Mu had seen the actor list given to him by Vin Diesel before, so he actually knew that the actor who played Mia was an international supermodel named Joanna.

Su Mu had never heard of this name before.

But it is said that Jordana is still somewhat famous in Europe and many people like her.

Anyway, Su Mu is not particularly concerned about these things, because he is too busy with work and has little time to pay attention to the foreign entertainment industry.

But Xiao Juzi is different. In addition to being her assistant, she is also a qualified gossip expert. She basically knows everyone who is famous, whether at home or abroad.

And the emotional drama she talked about was really not nonsense.

Brian, played by Su Mu, and Mia, played by her, are indeed a couple in the play, and they are very loving and sweet.

There are a lot of kissing scenes in the script, which are quite passionate, and Vin Diesel has no intention of deleting them at all.

In line with the spirit of doing as the Romans do, Su Mu felt that the scale of his acting skills should also be adjusted to cater to European and American tastes.

While thinking about it, Su Mu looked again and saw an actress next to Jordana.

This is another heroine named Michelle, who plays opposite Vin Diesel. In the play, she is Dominic's woman. Like Jordana, she is also one of the famous models on the cover of magazines.

In a place like the United States, most supermodels with excellent appearance will eventually go to film and television.

In fact, in Su Mu's memory, the same was true in his previous life.

For example, Gage Gadot came out in the later period of Fast and Furious, and several generations of heroines from Transformers, etc.

Almost all of them started out in the modeling industry, and then moved to the movie screen. They were known by fans from all over the world, and they all achieved great results.

So after all is said and done, the film and television industry actually places great emphasis on appearance.

The appearance condition determines the lower limit.

Whether you can go higher depends on your subsequent efforts and professionalism.

at this time,

Many actors have gathered in the center of the studio.

Vin Diesel raised his head and glanced at Su Mu who was walking this way, then he stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Everyone, our other male actor has arrived. I believe you have heard of it before. This is a very outstanding actor I invited from China. His name is Su Mu. I hope that the subsequent filming will be successful. Let’s work together.”

Vin Diesel is starting to warm up.

The people around him nodded, and then turned their attention to Su Mu who was approaching.

"Very handsome oriental face, better than I imagined."

"I just don't know if I can be the male lead in this drama."

"It's hard to say. You know, it's not like no one came to us to try it in the past few years, but the response was mediocre."

Sumu's height and appearance are actually quite capable.

Unlike those thin fresh meats in China, after years of training, Sumu's physical condition is very in line with the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans.

Since I have practiced martial arts and fighting before, my muscle lines are quite standard.

This may be the only thing that shines in their eyes at the moment.

The whispers around him didn't stop.

"This is the Chinese star who took Vin Diesel racing. It can be seen that Vin Diesel attaches great importance to him, but I still can't figure it out. Why does he think the European and American markets can accept such an oriental face? Wan If you don’t accept it, what should you do?”

"Didn't you watch his previous drag racing videos? They were quite exciting. I admire them very much. In fact, in some aspects, his was quite outstanding. Of course, he was in drag racing, which is in line with the core of this movie."

"I know a little bit about it. When he was young, he played in the MMA League and challenged for the Asian gold belt. If he doesn't come to participate in movies, I think he can even go to the UFC."

"It's not surprising. I heard that in China, everyone knows kung fu and is very powerful."

"real?"

Just when everyone was discussing.

Sumu has arrived.

Vin Diesel greeted Su Mu warmly, and then solemnly introduced everyone.

Sumu also knew each other one by one.

In addition to Jordana and Michelle, there are several men who are well-known actors in the United States.

Vin Diesel: "Jordana, this is Su Mu. You have a lot of opposite roles in the play. You two can have a little exchange when we review the script later. Believe me, Su Mu is actually a very interesting person."

Vin Diesel helped Su Mu start to warm up.

Jordana looked up with a smile, a pair of passionate eyes on her tall nose: "Hello Su Mu, I'm sorry that I didn't pay much attention to the Asian film and television industry before, but I think we can learn more about it in the future, and I hope we can cooperate this time joy."

Maybe it’s because foreigners have a more direct way of chatting.

So the woman's words didn't sound as hot as her appearance.

The meaning was obvious. She didn't know Su Mu well, but it didn't hinder their subsequent communication.

Perhaps it's a touch of arrogance that comes with the Western film industry's international stature.

Even with such an awkward conversation, she did not hide it.

Su Mu's expression was indifferent: "Okay, happy cooperation."

For these words, if they were said in the past, they might ignite some desire to win in my heart.

But now Su Mu is very calm, and will not even become sensitive because of the slightest slight from the other party.

It's not that he doesn't care, but that he knows that in this case, he doesn't really need to say much.

If you want to win respect, it is often more convincing to prove it through practical actions.

After getting familiar with everyone.

Vin Diesel held the opening ceremony.

The process was very simple. Everyone opened the champagne together and then cheered and turned on the camera lens. It was a perfect start.

It didn't take long, and the crew quickly returned to work.

The filming also began.

The filming of this movie was divided into several parts by Vin Diesel.

One part is a difficult outdoor stunt scene, and the other is an indoor plot scene with a lot of lines.

So the usual logic is to first complete the shooting of simple indoor emotional scenes according to the plot line of the script.

Then at a specific time, wait for the facilities to be prepared, and then carry out those difficult shootings.

There are quite a lot of scenes in Fast and Furious Racing, and many of the thrilling scenes require quite detailed arrangements.

For example, the shot of a sports car traveling left and right under the territory of a 10,000-ton truck.

Just thinking about it, I know it will be very exciting.

But if special effects were simply used in such a clip, it would have no real flavor.

Therefore, the process must pursue authenticity.

To accomplish this, the preparation costs required are huge.

Every vehicle in the play will be equipped with two or even more of the same model, just to avoid the situation where the vehicle is damaged but the filming fails, and there is no vehicle to continue to use when it comes back.

The cost of purchasing the vehicle alone is huge.

…

After the shooting started, everyone quickly got into the mood.

Perhaps it was because Vin Diesel felt a little embarrassed when they introduced each other before.

So I also looked for Su Mu privately.

Vin Diesel patted Su Mu on the shoulder, then smiled and said: "Su Mu, I hope you won't be offended. In fact, those words of Jordana and the others did not mean anything else.

As you know, many actors spend most of their time at work, and their information is relatively limited. Maybe they only know about entertainment news in the United States, but they are usually not very familiar with some foreign stars. "

Su Mu looked at Vin Diesel and expressed his understanding and sympathy for the role of both father and mother on the set.

"Don't worry, I know, I didn't think too much, and they don't understand me. That's not their problem, but my problem. If I were good enough, I might have been able to stand on the international stage. "

Hearing Su Mu speak like this, Fan Diesel finally let go of his hanging heart.

And suddenly I felt a little admiration in my heart.

"Brother, I knew that nothing could affect you. Su Mu, you will stand on the international stage. You know, I can find you because I am absolutely optimistic about your potential, and I know you have that kind of potential." Ability, so relax, just pretend that this is China, there is no difference in timing, right?

Since you were able to surprise everyone in your previous movies, I think you can also create more surprises in this Fast and Furious movie, right? "

Su Mu raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

Good guy, the first half sounds okay, but then why does it start to serve chicken soup with flatbread?

"Vin Diesel, although thank you for caring about me, there is one thing I want to explain. Acting is not the same as creating surprises.

Of course, I don’t exclude the possibility of doing some surprises during the shooting process.

But the premise is that you have to give me some more money. "

"!?"

After hearing these words, Vin Diesel's previous emotions disappeared and turned to some helplessness.

He covered his chest, and then said nervously: "Su, I found that you are good at everything, but you just like money too much.

We have already signed a contract before, and I have also increased your salary to 20 million US dollars.

You have to know that this is already a very high price, aren't you satisfied? You can't be too greedy. "

Su Mu smiled and shook his head: "I am not greedy, but a dedicated attitude towards work! Adding more money means that I have a higher pursuit of work, but not adding money means I am just living and drinking."

Dedicated? So can you do the subsequent dangerous scenes without a body double? Vin Diesel smiled and said: "Brother, okay, I know you are kidding."

Su Mu: "I never joke at work."

Vin Diesel: "..."

…

The chat ends quickly.

Vin Diesel went to the filming location.

Then Qian Jida took two cups of coffee and walked next to Su Mu at some point.

Qian Jida: "What did you tell him?"

Su Mu: "More money."

Qian Jida: "..."

Su Mu: "But he doesn't seem to have figured it out yet. It doesn't matter. Take your time."

Qian Jida: "But haven't we added it once before? Isn't this too much?"

Su Mu shook his head: "Mr. Qian, do you know how much profit the 'Fast and Furious' movie will create in the future? Believe me, there is a high probability that ten movies will be made in a row."

Qian Jida looked shocked: "What? Ten movies in a row? Stop making trouble. The first one hasn't even started yet, and you've already predicted ten movies? How is this possible?"

Su Mu: "Nothing is impossible. As long as this one is successful, there will be "Fast and Furious 23456789..." in the future.

So this is why I am ready to add money to my death. "

"Why?"

"Think about it, there are so many movies to come, and this one is the starting point. If my salary is going to be lower, then when we collaborate again, there will be too much salary space left for Vin Diesel.

Therefore, we must raise the bottom line of film remuneration so that we can earn more in the following films. "

Qian Jida: "..."

Little Orange: "..."

…

…

"Attention, all groups, God Ike!"

The Fast and the Furious has officially started filming.

The plot of the first part is actually more down-to-earth than the later ones.

In the main plot, Brian, played by Su Mu, acted as an undercover agent in order to solve the recent carjacking case of the carjacking gang and infiltrated into the active carjacking gang here. With his superb driving skills, he quickly won over the gang boss, played by Vin Diesel. 'Dominic' appreciation and trust.

In the process, Brian fell in love with Dominic's sister, Mia.

Through the contact of the incident, the relationship between the two quickly heated up.

The second-in-command of the Biker Party, Vince, is hostile to Brian because he has always had a crush on Mia, and Brian's arrival threatens his position as second-in-command.

At the same time, they had an accident during an operation.

Then Dominic began to suspect that they had FBI spies inside, and Brian was discovered because of his undercover status.

But the longer he stayed in contact with Dominic, the deeper their friendship became.

Faced with a dilemma, Brian finally chose to stand with his brothers. In the end, they had an exciting battle and solved the big trouble behind them.

Basically the plot line is like this.

So most of the exciting content is actually in the drag racing scenes.

…

A few days later.

Location shooting begins.

Los Angeles streets…
