    ,

    It has been almost a month since Cao Xuan came to the United States. Except for Zhang Chong and Zhu Jiang, he usually only sees foreigners. This time he finally ran into an acquaintance, and they had a strong conversation.

    The same is true of Yuan Baye. He has been here longer than Cao Xuan. This time, "The Matrix" is going to be shot in two or three series. The workload is very heavy, and the specific shooting period alone exceeds one year.

    Fortunately, Baye Yuan has an apprentice. As long as he is responsible for the action design, the on-site guidance of the specific actions can be completed by the apprentice.

    Therefore, except for some key scenes where Yuan Baye is in charge, he can take time to return to China to work on other projects.

    The director hasn't come yet, so Yuan Baye took the time to ask Cao Xuan.

    "Kung Fu has not fallen, this time there is a play."

    "no problem."

    Cao Xuan nodded confidently. Starting from his debut work "Water Margin", "Little Li Flying Knife", "Swordsman" and even the following "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", the fighting scenes he filmed can be regarded as the best of his generation, and the related training has been constant.  Did not stop.

    It can't be compared with those boy kung fu stars, but amateurs can be regarded as half a practicing family, at least playing drama.

    If facing Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, Cao Xuan would not dare to shout, but Keanu Reeves, who is also a half-way monk, is still very confident.

    Baye Yuan also knew a little bit about Cao Xuan's background, so he felt relieved.

    Cao Xuan's cameo role in "The Matrix 2" and "The Matrix 3" was the prophet's bodyguard.

    This role is set to be a Chinese with high kung fu skills. There are two fighting scenes, and the roles are not many, but they are also quite eye-catching.

    It is said that the crew wanted to find Li Lianjie at first, but the salary was not negotiated. There is also a saying that "The Matrix" wanted to copy his kung fu, and then simulated it with special effects, replacing the action actor with virtual people. Li Lianjie was angry and refused when he learned the truth.  play.

    Personally speaking, Cao Xuan believes that these American companies can do the next thing. After all, kung fu movies have been very popular in the past two years, but the leading actors are all Chinese. It is normal for the United States to want to get a share.

    However, it is really difficult to achieve the effect of virtual actors at this stage from a technical perspective.

    But it is hard to say whether the Chinese Kung Fu movies have been stolen by the United States.

    After all, the Hollywood action movies of later generations have more or less the shadow of Chinese Kung Fu movies. No one knows whether this is the credit of the action director, or whether it was really stolen by the video analysis.

    And at this stage, when many people don't know much about computer special effects, it's normal for actors to have concerns.

    ?After all, the Republic of China suffered a great loss, and many killer moves were recorded and spread abroad. Those who practice martial arts are still quite taboo about this.

    Li Lianjie refused to act, Yuan Baye of the original time and space approached Chang Wei, and the other party even served as part of the action director.

    Now, because Warner was negotiating a contract with Cao Xuan at that time, they used this as a bargaining chip. The directors, the Wachowski sisters Well, they are still brothers now, so they asked Yuan Baye and learned that Cao Xuan has a kung fu foundation  , and has a great reputation in Asia, and finally finalized the role.

    These two brothers have a very big heart, so Cao Xuan has to prepare for the two-month schedule and cooperate with martial arts training.

    Cao Xuan glanced at the script, there were only a few scenes in total, and he directly pointed out that he was a cameo and not a supporting role in the group, and he was only given half a month's schedule, whether he liked to shoot or not.

    In fact, Cao Xuan doesn't care if he has to be a guest star in "The Matrix", it's just that he has some feelings, but the premise is that it doesn't affect his schedule.

    For the two-month schedule, let¡¯s not talk about whether Cao Xuan has so much time, even if he did, Cao Xuan was not so cheap that he would put down a lot of money, and went to the United States as a supporting role to cooperate with the crew for more than two months.

    If Warner offered 10 million US dollars, Cao Xuan didn't say, it would not be impossible to consider it for half a year, but 500,000 US dollars would only be enough to buy him a 15-day schedule.

    Later, Warner Records came forward to coordinate and explained to the director brothers that Cao Xuan is not an ordinary actor, and his schedule is not cheaper than these leading actors.

    The two parties are mutually beneficial, and each takes what they need, not Cao Xuan's acting.

    Therefore, under the arrangement of Warner Records, the two parties reached an agreement that Cao Xuan would finish filming in half a month, but he would definitely have to work overtime.

    It¡¯s nothing more than a normal scene, there are still several scenes that need special effects, and even appear as background panels. Cao Xuan will do some performances on the green screen

    Not long after, the crew started work, and the directors, the Wachowski brothers, the male protagonist Keanu Reeves, the female protagonist Kerry Ann Moss, and other leading actors arrived.

    Cao Xuan, a newcomer actor, also introduced himself. Everyone was not indifferent, but they were not very enthusiastic. They greeted each other politely and started filming.

      The assistant director directly took Cao Xuan to change clothes and try on makeup, and then set up tricks with Keanu Reeves in the afternoon, and started trial shooting if possible.

    Yesterday's clothes consisted of a double-breasted white coat and black martial arts pants on the lower body. The shoes did not have authentic mille-soled cloth shoes. Cao Xuan found something roughly the same.

    The costumer brought him the small round sunglasses, and Cao Xuan put them on. This kind of small round sunglasses is difficult for ordinary people to hold up, and it looks a bit sinister or calculating.

    Cao Xuan has good looks, and he does not deliberately display other temperaments. Wearing these glasses is more mysterious and stern.

    This is also in line with the identity of the prophet's bodyguard. According to the setting, the identity of the prophet's bodyguard may not be that simple.

    Many lines seem to imply that he may be the last savior before the hero, but there is no specific explanation in the movie, it may be a joke, or the audience may have too much self-association.

    Cao Xuan changed his costume and made more people pay attention to him. At least the director brothers looked at him a few more times, which made Cao Xuan feel nervous.

    The two brothers turned back and turned into two sisters, it's scary

    Not long after the costume change, Cao Xuan formally played tricks with Keanu Reeves under the guidance of Ba Ye, first easy and then difficult.

    Cao Xuan has also seen a lot of routines, and he got started quickly. Keanu has also filmed two movies and has experience. The two of them can make tentative gestures in less than half an hour.

    How should I put it, Keanu Reeves is an amateur after all, and there were many real trainers who filmed rival scenes before yesterday, so he took over easily.

    As for Keanu Reeves, after filming the "Matrix" series for such a long time, the training teacher and martial arts instructor are all practitioners, he was hanged and beaten, and other actors did not train for as long as him, so they were hanged and beaten by him.

    Only Cao Xuan was slightly stronger than him, but he was still within his acceptable range.

    ?This move can be said to be that the general meets the good talent, the chess meets the opponent, the dragon in the cloud meets the dragon in the wind, and the tiger on the mountain meets the tiger on the ground.

    After the tricks were completed, Keanu Reeves looked at Cao Xuan with admiration, and his attitude became more enthusiastic.

    "Good job dude."

    "No, I'm not fine at all."

    However, Cao Xuan shook his head in frustration. Keanu Reeves was puzzled, so Cao Xuan complained.

    "A Chinese actor didn't crush foreigners in the play. I feel a little sorry for Jack Cheng and Bruce Lee."

    "Hahaha."

    Keanu Reeves laughed: "If it was Jack Chenglai, I wouldn't fight him."

    "He's not that powerful, you just need to avoid some furniture stores."

    Just kidding, but Cao Xuan is still very impressed with Keanu Reeves.

    People have really worked hard in private, and their foundation is really not bad.

    Aside from those boys who practiced family skills, that is, those who have undergone some systematic training like Cao Xuan can suppress it, it may be "shameful" to replace a Chinese actor who has not filmed many fight scenes.

    As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. After a few fight scenes, Cao Xuan and Keanu Reeves have become much closer.

    Cao Xuan worked with Keanu Reeves for most of the scenes, and he also had a good relationship with him, which was convenient for filming.

    The level of the two is about the same, they played very smoothly, the tacit understanding came up, and the actual filming soon started. In less than a day, Cao Xuan had the main fight scene, and then filmed the literary play.

    If it is said that Cao Xuan was a little surprised by Keanu Reeves in the play, then it was Keanu Reeves' turn to be surprised when he was filming the literary play.

    Keanu Reeves, who played opposite Cao Xuan, was very surprised by Cao Xuan's facial expressions, emotional control, co-ordination, and fluent English lines.

    "Cao, I can't believe you're a singer."

    "How many times have I said, don't call me Cao, and my profession is actor + singer, and I am professional in acting."

    "Okay, Cao."

    Keanu Reeves has a bright smile, and after a few days of getting along, the two of them are considered familiar, especially when he learned the meaning of "Cao" from Yuan Baye, and he never changed his words.

    Cao Xuan took a deep breath, resisted taking out the prop gun and gave him two hits, and gave Keanu Reeves a middle finger.

    "Let's go, I have something to talk to the producer about."

    "What are we talking about, more money or more drama?"

    "Add a song!"

    Cao Xuan left to change clothes, leaving Keanu Reeves with a puzzled face.

    Add a song?  What song to add?

    Could it be that Cao Xuan took over the soundtrack job, but doesn't he already have a team?

    And half an hour later, Cao Xuan shook hands with the producer of "The Matrix 2": "Thank you for your trust, I will come up with a theme song that satisfies you."?Thank you for your trust, I will come up with a theme song that satisfies you all.  ?
