If it was the appearance of David Duchovny that made Yan Xu surprised at his good luck, then the person who appeared in front of Yan Xu now was no longer surprised, but the God, the Jade Emperor, and the God behind him. Tathagata Buddha suddenly came over to him, and he seemed to be possessed by luck at this time. Yan Xu even suspected that if he bought the lottery at this time, the tens of millions of dollars in the prize pool would be lost. Become your own.
The young man in front of him is smaller than David Duchovny, and his face can be described as delicate. Coupled with the long, low-hanging hair, he even looks a bit wealthy, plus the blue dress. T-shirt and blue jeans with a few holes, he looked exactly like a bad boy on the street, and his dress was extremely attractive to those girls, plus the look in his eyes It's so clear that it can definitely be described as a girl killer.
When this face appeared in front of Yan Xu, Yan Xu felt that time seemed to have stood still, and even the air was not flowing. There was no need to listen to his name or read his resume.
Keanu Reeves, Yan Xu first knew that he should be in the hit blockbuster Life and Death. At this time, he ushered in the first glorious period of his life, and it was this movie that made him a household name. Star, and later The Matrix was the pinnacle of his career, but before Speed, although he had collaborated with many great directors, he was always the kind of half-red, not purple, and because he was not cheap Although the salary at that time was already difficult for many people to catch up with, he still lived a wandering life. He even lived on the floor of a friend's house before he died.
And now, he is just emerging among young actors in Hollywood, because of image issues. The actors he plays are all iconic characters, and his uninhibited image has already attracted the attention of some directors.
Although his current net worth has reached 200,000 US dollars, and although he is now somewhat well-known and does not meet Yan Xu's requirements for an actor in this movie, the moment he saw him, Yan Xu had already decided to definitely He would not let him go, but if he wanted to keep him, David Duchovny, who had already decided to change his role, originally planned to find a black man to play the role of the policeman like in the original play. It seems that it can only change now.
Among the actors I found, the one with the highest reputation and net worth should be Keanu Reeves in front of me. He is of course the obvious choice for the firefighters. David Duchovny could only give in and play the policeman, and simply let the policeman appear. The rate is not much lower than that of firefighters. The second male lead in the movie is also very good for David Duchovny, who has only played a supporting role in one movie.
While Yan Xu was looking at Keanu Reeves up and down, Keanu Reeves was also constantly looking at Yan Xu, because the rebellious boy in River's Edge, which he starred in last year, made him start to feel a little bit for the first time. fame and appears in the memories of some directors. During this period alone, he took on four movies, and even played leading male roles in several of them. He even starred opposite the famous actress Michelle Pfeiffer, but these roles were undoubtedly of the same kind. The character of a rebellious teenager. And now some of the scripts he has found him in are all similar characters, which are completely different from his conception.
Although he has an unruly personality, he does not have the frivolity of young people who become famous after the impetuous instant fame. I have acted in several similar movies in a row, and most of them have similar roles. He knows that if this continues, this kind of mark on his body will become more and more serious, and finally he will be completely restrained by this type of role, so what he needs to try now is that kind of different roles, so he will Search through the Screen Actors Guild, otherwise, just relying on the scripts in his hand, he may not be free for two years.
As for this horror movie, Keanu Reeves didn't have much interest in it at the beginning. Even though the director was the director of the former blockbuster movie Beast Meal, although he also liked such B-level movies, he didn't think he would give it to him. What breakthrough did he bring about? But when he accidentally inquired about Yan Xu's information, his eyes lit up.
Although Mansion One was released in the United States at that time, although it was not as popular as Meal for Beasts, it was still a very good movie. In terms of liking, he liked that movie more than Meal for Meat, and he also knew the beautiful star of that movie. Before, he was just a role of a vase, but he was trained so well by the director. I admired the director very much at that time. But at that time, he had just arrived in Hollywood and was still living a life of insufficient food and clothing. He only liked this movie and the director. His thoughts were even more obscured by the need to fill in the form. Now he was actually the director of this horror film that was soliciting roles. He couldn't help but feel some interest. He also found some Hong Kong director Yan Xu in the video rental store.??'s movies, such as Taxi Judge and A Chinese Ghost Story, left a deep impression on him after watching them. This is definitely a director who is good at training actors, which is why he came here to participate in the interview.
But now that he saw Yan Xu, he couldn't help but be surprised at how young Yan Xu was. He had known Yan Xu before coming here. There was information about him in the Directors Guild, and there were also some animal meals from back then in the local library. Although the information introduced by Yan Xu in the newspapers at the time of the release was very brief, it was enough to surprise Keanu Reeves.
Yan Xu, who is about the same age as himself, not only has two films that have achieved good results in the United States, but is also an extremely famous director in Asia. He has shot many blockbuster films and has his own film company and film company in Hong Kong. Cinema, personal assets reach tens of millions of dollars.
[I¡¯m very curious as to why you came to this film of mine. According to your resume, I should have come to you directly with a lot of scripts. ] Yan Xu looked at Keanu Reeves. He still has several movies that have not been released yet. If they are released, his salary will definitely be much higher than what he is now.
[There is only one reason why I want to change. Most of the characters I play now are bohemian men. If I continue acting like this, it will easily limit my acting career. So what I need now is something different. The role has different changes. Although I don¡¯t know what your film is about, I saw your requirements for this role. What you need is a firefighter with organizational skills and a sense of justice. This is what I used to do. There are some changes to the character, so I wanted to try it out. ] Keanu Reeves looked at Yan Xu and said, [The series of movie roles I am currently starring in are basically the same. I am familiar with such roles. If the role changes all at once, it will be difficult with my current acting skills. I can control it, so this role of firefighter suits me very well. There are changes, but the changes won¡¯t be huge. ]
Although Keanu Reeves became famous at a young age, he still has a deep understanding of his own shortcomings. What he needs to hone now is his acting skills. For playing the unruly boy,
He can now score 90%. As for other roles, although he has been exposed to them when he acted in TV series before, he is definitely not that comfortable. He also knows that he cannot adapt to other roles all at once. That is He is still far away from what can only be achieved by actors at the movie king level, so what he does now is to have more exposure, practice more, accumulate more, and do it step by step.

Street 14, which is close to the factory area, is usually rarely visited by people, but some people passing by have discovered something strange recently. The outside of the apartment in the middle of the street was suddenly sealed with a yellow plastic sheet. Even the windows were closed with some wooden bars and fences in addition to the plastic sheets, and even the surrounding areas were sealed with police seals, as if to seal the entire apartment. Just like being isolated from the world.

Yan Xu's new film was shot in such a place where no one noticed it. Although some people noticed it, no one came to explore it. This is exactly what Yan Xu wanted. In fact, sealing off the entire apartment was also Yan Xu's idea. part of the film's promotion.
The filming of the film was basically carried out at night. Unlike other films that are promoted like crazy right from the start, the entire filming of Yan Xu's film can be said to be sneaky, and even the opening ceremony only involved a few After a bottle of red wine is opened at the filming location, it¡¯s over with each person having a glass.
Yan Xu's mockumentary was destined to take an unusual path from the beginning. All the staff and actors even signed a confidentiality agreement before filming. No plot details could be revealed without the consent of the crew. There is a movie title, which means that everything about this movie is confidential. The price for breaking the contract is definitely a figure that makes them frightened and bankrupt. Of course, in comparison, they may not be stingy in terms of salary. Everyone Their remuneration was increased by 20% on top of their original remuneration. In fact, for those young actors, it was good to be able to shoot this movie. They all cherished such an opportunity, and the requirements of the Screen Actors Guild were also very high. Strict confidentiality is the most basic rule. If you dare to leak it and the actors union finds out, it will even ruin your acting career. (To be continued)
