Chapter 708: The Dark Knight crew’s unique welcome ceremony!
2007 4 Month 3 Day.
The filming set of "Bruce Lee".
"Bruce Lee, we finally meet again!"
Li Bingyuan, who played the yellow monkey, stood on a high place, looking at Chen Yu below with hatred in his eyes, and his words revealed ferocity.
What the two people are filming now is a fight scene after Bruce Lee fully mastered Jeet Kune Do.
Bruce Lee defeated the yellow-skinned boy with his unique skills of "Crushing Hands" and "Li Sanjiao", staging a brilliant performance of martial arts.
After that, Jeet Kune Do was fully developed.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still the same old person."
"Still so vigorous!"
Compared to the sharp and fierce words of the yellow-skinned boy, Chen Yu's lines are much calmer.
His aura seems to be quite steady, and his every move and gesture reveals the demeanor of a master of martial arts.
Chen Yu let his right hand hang naturally, and bent his left hand to rest on his lower abdomen. He looked at the yellow-skinned boy on the steps ahead and said slowly, "I see that your Kung Fu has improved a lot!"
"But I don't know your martial virtues."
Swish!
At this point, Chen Yu showed a slightly contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he continued to slowly say the three words "Have you made progress?"
"Finished!"
Li An looked at Chen Yu on the monitor with a look full of admiration.
This is the last scene of "Bruce Lee", which was also a reshoot of the literary scenes. He has already finished the martial arts scenes.
To be honest, Chen Yu’s grasp of the 16-year-old Bruce Lee is very good. It can be said that he himself is relatively young. Playing a 22-year-old at the age of 16, it is easy for him to fit the character’s psychological state and it is relatively easy to control.
But, for a 22-year-old to play a 32-year-old, especially a 32-year-old Bruce Lee who had mastered martial arts, the difficulty is not as simple as one plus one equals two.
The warrior's breath can be controlled freely, his steps are powerful but not heavy, and his expression is calm but not sharp.
His every move and gesture really shows the strength of Bruce Lee.
The expression of this master's demeanor, coupled with the makeup, makes Li An look like he is directly possessed by Bruce Lee.
Not playing around.
It's real possession.
Even Li Xiangning, who had been watching the crew filming the entire time, looked a little dazed after seeing Chen Yu's makeup.
If the 16-year-old Bruce Lee only lived in his mother's stories and film and television materials.
The 32-year-old Bruce Lee was just a vague outline to Shannon Lee.
Deep in my memory, there is a figure that does not leave a very deep impression on me.
When Chen Yu came on stage wearing a Zhongshan suit, Li Xiangning felt that Chen Yu had perfectly portrayed the father in her mind.
Her tears flowed on the spot.
"Thank you!"
After receiving the flowers from a crew member, Chen Yu walked out of the set and hugged Li An and Li Xiangning again.
This is a good actor.
Li An really wants to work with Chen Yu again, but he doesn’t know if he will have this opportunity.
Li Xiangning held him for a long time and was reluctant to let go. It was not because she liked Chen Yu, but she remembered the figure who had no impression on her at all. However, every time she thought of him, she was filled with regret.
She had never seen Bruce Lee since she was a child, so her only memories of him probably did not exist.
How is it possible at 1 or 2 years old?
But Bruce Lee lived in her heart all his life.
After Bruce Lee's death, she was in charge of all of his business.
Over time, she actually had a very vivid image of this father in her mind.
She didn't draw it herself.
But it is video footage, narratives from my father’s friends, my mother’s memories… and so on.
Now seeing Chen Yu, this figure seemed to overlap with the one in front of him.
That's why he held me for so long.
Of course, Chen Yu also understood what the other person was thinking, so he kept comforting her until Li Xiangning wiped her eyes and released Chen Yu's hug: "Sorry, thank you!"
Li Xiangning cried with joy. She really felt a familiar yet strange feeling from Chen Yu.
This is the actor who best interprets the role of father.
"fine!"
"How about going for a drink together?"
Chen Yu was suggesting that the crew had finished filming and he, as the male lead, would be the last one.
Li An is of course fine for the time being. As for Li Xiangning, she came here today just to wrap up the filming.
The three of them, along with many members of the crew, headed towards a nearby private restaurant.
Liu Yifei is currently in China with Chen Yu's parents and Liu Xiaoli. It's a rare opportunity for her not to come to the United States to be alone with Chen Yu. By the way, she also recharged herself, read a book and consolidated her performance.
Sometimes calming down may help you gain a deeper understanding of the performance.
Chen Yu doesn't need it because he is a reborn person.
His acting skills are already at the ceiling level.
The wrap-up party lasted until almost the early morning, when Chen Yu hugged everyone in the crew and left the restaurant.
Finished.
Another drama has ended.
And it is a drama that Chen Yu considers to be very important in his life - "Bruce Lee"!
This is a character known in both China and the United States, and even the whole world. The significance of his role, in addition to promoting Bruce Lee's culture to the world again, is also to communicate with movie lovers and culture around the world.
Jingle Bell!
A sudden phone call interrupted Chen Yu as he was driving home.
"Well, Lao Yang, I'm driving!"
Chen Yu pressed the Bluetooth button, and Yang Lu on the other end of the phone was already talking excitedly: "One billion! Brother Yu, the global box office of "Operation Bourne" has exceeded 10 billion US dollars!"
"Is it?"
Although Chen Yu looked very happy, this news did not make him excited enough.
Because after breaking its previous box office records in various countries, the global record of 10 billion+ was a natural result.
"Yes, it just broke today!"
"The mainland has also reached billion, but subsequent growth has been very slow!"
"It's okay. Both goals have been achieved, right?"
And they are two extraordinary achievements.
Mainland China: RMB 10 billion+.
Globally, over 10 billion US dollars.
Moreover, North America has also broken the domestic upper limit of movies starring Chen Yu. The current total box office of "Invisible Mission" is million US dollars!
This is a number that no one had thought of before "Invisible Mission" was released.
"Tomorrow the media will report this all over the world!"
"Brother Yu, you really have become a Hollywood superstar!"
Yang Lu was speaking with great excitement.
Chen Yu smiled.
Yes, a Hollywood superstar, a global superstar.
When the box office of a leading role reaches over 10 billion, it means that Chen Yu's pay has reached the level of the highest-end artists in Hollywood, and has surpassed Jackie Chan by a lot, and he will also be more famous than him.
Global fame requires accumulation through one work after another, and Chen Yu cannot compare with Cheng Long at the moment.
But the others are already the first Chinese to be discontinued.
The car sped endlessly in the dark night. After Chen Yu arrived at his home in Hollywood, he took a shower and went to bed.
The next morning, not only in China, but also in Hollywood, there were reports that the global box office of "Invisible Mission" had exceeded 10 billion US dollars.
The world was shocked.
Knowing that "Invisible Bourne" could reach 10 billion is one thing, but when they saw the reports of achieving 10 billion+ with their own eyes, many Hollywood stars were touched.
All the Hollywood celebrities that Chen Yu knew sent him congratulatory messages.
Will Smith, Sylvester Stallone, Scarlett Johansson... Of course there are more from China, such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau... Everyone seems very polite.
Will Smith started asking Chen Yu about working with him on a movie.
His film "I Am Legend" is also about to be released.
This movie is also a member of the global $6 million club. This year, Will is also in full swing and has a stronger box office appeal in Hollywood than Tom Cruise.
"If the script is okay, I'd like to work with Jacken on a movie!"
Chen Yu was messaging Will Smith.
The guy responded quickly: "OK, I'll get someone to raise the money right away, and then we can work together to make a big deal!"
Smith is already looking forward to it, mainly because he wants to make this movie to promote his son.
With him, Chen Yu and Cheng Long, three heavyweights, this movie should have attracted all the attention in the world before it is even released.
Just thinking about this guy makes me excited.
Chen Yu replied to messages from each person and took a rare break to make breakfast.
He will have nearly a week of free time and will not join the set of "The Dark Knight" until April 4th.
The schedule has been arranged.
The filming took about three months, but there were many times in between when Chen Yu was still very relaxed.
The Joker actually doesn't have many scenes in the film, after all, he is just a villain, not the leading male role; his role took such a long time to shoot, mainly because he had to have a lot of rival scenes with the leading male role, Christian Bale.
Humming a song, Chen Yu finished his breakfast and started reading the script of "The Dark Knight".
In a blink of an eye, a week passed quickly.
The time has come for Chen Yujin's "The Dark Knight".
The Dark Knight was filmed in many locations, including Nottingham, England, but in fact the main filming took place in Chicago, USA.
Gotham!
It has to have Gotham characteristics.
So many of the scenes are of Chicago’s cities and landmarks.
Chen Yu took a plane and arrived at the hotel arranged by the crew one day in advance.
bang——
Huge fireworks suddenly rang out at the door of the hotel.
Director Nolan, who had not been seen for a long time, brought the leading actor Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal who played the leading female role Rachel... The entire "Dark Knight" team walked out of the hotel and gave Chen Yu such a big surprise.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you so much!"
Chen Yu hugged everyone one by one, and everyone had a smile on their face.
No discrimination.
After "Invisible Mission" raked in over 10 billion US dollars, not only the entire "Dark Knight" crew, but even Warner Bros. had no other voices.
You know, DC fans are still making a lot of comments and verbal attacks on Chen Yu online, and many people are still dissatisfied with his playing the Joker, but Chen Yu's new film still managed to get such a high box office.
This shows what? !
This shows that Chen Yu has more fans.
And there is absolutely no negative impact.
So, what is there to worry about?
As long as the clown played by Chen Yu can make those people shut up, not only will there be a wave of popularity before the release, but it will also completely reverse the trend.
So, there is nothing to worry about. Warner executives are now fully confident in Chen Yu's Joker.
Nolan, there is even less to say.
Chen Yu’s original salary was only 800 million US dollars, but now he can’t even get 2500 million. He is really making a fortune, okay?
It's totally unacceptable for the crew not to hold a welcome ceremony.
"Welcome to join me, my joker!"
Nolan gave Chen Yu another big hug and began to introduce other members of the crew to him.
Chen Yu greeted them one by one very humbly.
"It's unbelievable that the global box office of "Invisible Mission" can actually exceed 10 billion!"
"At first I thought that 2 million in North America would be the limit, but I didn't expect the word of mouth to be so good!"
Rotten Tomatoes has a 94% score, which has never dropped.
There is absolutely no need to say anything about the quality of this kind of movie.
In fact, many Americans have also concluded that since Chen Yu debuted, apart from those films that have not been released in North America, the imdb square score of almost all of his films has never fallen below , which means that he has never made a bad movie.
There isn't even any ordinary ones, which is very telling.
This actor only produces high-quality works.
That's why he was able to become famous so quickly, and even became a hit across the United States within less than two years of entering Hollywood.
"Mainly, China's box office hit a new high!"
"As for North America, it's actually within my plan!"
Chen Yu was not modest at all.
In fact, there is no need to be humble. Americans don't buy it at all. If your movie has a box office of 10 billion+, then you are the king.
"Yeah, I heard that!"
"China already has movies that have grossed 10 billion RMB, and this market is limitless in the future!"
"4 million US dollars in Asia, you are also the Hollywood actor with the highest box office appeal in Asia!"
There is no one like that.
Cameron relies purely on his own influence. Apart from him, no other director or starring actor's movie can win the $4 million box office in Asia.
Chen Yu is definitely the first one.
This is also a new record.
"There will be a welcome dinner later!"
"Then get to know the whole crew!"
Nolan spoke to Chen Yu very politely, and Chen Yu smiled and said, "I'm happy to do that!"
Tomorrow is the day when The Dark Knight starts filming, and Chen Yu’s scenes on the first day are all personal.
It will be a few days before he has many scenes with other people.
After putting the luggage in the hotel, Chen Yu came to the banquet hall. This time there were more people, including the entire post-production crew, special effects staff, and stagehands.
Of course they all knew Chen Yu, after all, he was very famous now.
Chen Yu was chatting casually when the leading actor Christian Bale came up.
This guy will be very famous in the future. He is an Oscar winner and can gain or lose weight to suit his roles. He is definitely a non-human. But at present, he has just made his mark in Hollywood. It was Nolan's previous "Batman Begins" that made him one of Hollywood's top actors.
Chen Yu was quite looking forward to playing opposite him.
Of course, he played the absolute male protagonist in "The Dark Knight", the one with the ability to make a lot of money - "Batman"!
