From a professional villain to an all-around superstar

Chapter 203: Filming abroad is full of difficulties

A week flies by quickly.

In a small country in South Africa, in an abandoned factory.

The crew of "Wolf Warrior" reunited, including some invited foreign actors, such as Gloria, Luo Weiqi, etc., all also joined the crew.

Ye Chen's vacation is also over.

Ye Chen had a fulfilling week, and then Xiaodi came back.

Ye Chen suddenly realized that he felt strange with the two girls.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di were both enthusiastic about themselves, but they seemed to back off at the last step.

It was as if the two girls had some kind of agreement.

In the crew, Ye Chen is discussing the plot with the famous martial arts actor Ge Liluo invited from abroad.

Ye Chen's English is very good, and the communication between the two is smooth.

This also gave Gloria a very good first impression of this young Chinese actor and director.

Not long after, Wu Gang and Wang Xiaocong, who were training in the special forces, and some other actors also arrived one after another.

On the first day, it didn't turn on.

Ye Chen invited the actors from the crew, and the staff rented a bar locally, and everyone got together for a while and exchanged feelings.

Originally, Gloria and Luo Weiqi were not optimistic about this drama.

The reason they come here is for the money.

But after dealing with Ye Chen, their ideas quickly changed.

Regardless of Ye Chen's martial arts skills or Ye Chen's way of dealing with people, the two foreign actors felt very admired.

Especially Ye Chen's fighting skills, even top foreign martial arts actors like Gloria were surprised.

This also changed their views on the film.

They had put away their previous contempt and arrogance and started to cooperate seriously.

And their psychology was already within Ye Chen's expectation.

Abroad, people have always looked down on movies about Dragon Kingdom military themes.

They feel that only a beautiful country can produce exciting films with high box office.

Therefore, Ye Chen also changed his past low profile and became extremely high-profile in the reorganized crew abroad.

Because working with foreigners is very different from working with domestic actors.

What foreigners value is efficiency and respecting the strong.

If Ye Chen is as humble as he is in China, not only will he not gain respect from the other party, but the foreign actors will think that he is cowardly, which will make the filming process even more perfunctory.

And after Ye Chen's talents in all aspects are shown, not only will they not feel ashamed, but they will feel that Ye Chen is a strong person, and they will respect and admire Ye Chen even more.

Therefore, after Ye Chen came abroad, his first step was to conquer these actors from abroad.

So far, the effect seems to be very good.

When he first came here, the foreign actor looked aloof and condescending. After communicating and discussing with Ye Chen, he was full of praise for Ye Chen.

Other domestic actors and staff on the crew also felt particularly proud to see foreigners respect Ye Chen so much.

Teacher Ye will never let them down. Even if they go abroad, Teacher Ye will always be the god in their hearts.

Therefore, the subsequent filming of the "Wolf Warrior" crew went very smoothly.

After seeing Ye Chen's extraordinary acting skills and superb fighting skills, foreign actors such as Gloria Luo, in addition to cooperating in acting, will also help with other things like other Dragon Kingdom actors.

For example, everyone will do their best to negotiate with some local departments and contact local extras.

These made the shooting progress smoother.

Therefore, the entire filming progressed very quickly and smoothly.

The war scenes, as well as the scenes between the father played by Gloria and the rebel leader, were also completed very smoothly.

As time goes by, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Crack!"

This one is over.

Ye Chen glanced at the screen and nodded with satisfaction.

During this period, Ye Chen led everyone to solve many problems encountered during filming.

Take this scene for example.

The filming location was a slum in South Africa.

Leng Feng took a pickup truck, exchanged with some local residents, sold supplies, and then communicated with his godson Tudou, etc.

The entire filming process was originally going very smoothly, but suddenly there was some commotion.

Some local gangsters saw the crew filming, so they wanted to come over and blackmail the crew for money.

Originally, if the other party was not a lion, there would be no problem in giving them some benefits based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.

As a result, they raised the price, saying that this was their territory, and if they wanted to continue filming, they would have to pay a high rental fee for the entire street.

This area is a slum and has no value at all.

Moreover, this street belongs to the government, not to individuals or organizations at all.

Later, when the bargaining yielded no results, the other party actually resorted to violence.

This frightened the crew.

Because the locals are all local armed forces and have real guns in their hands.

Although the crew also had guns, they were all fake.

If the other party is really violent, there may be bloodshed.

Moreover, these local gangsters were serious about it, and even pulled the bolt of their guns to take action.

At this moment, Ye Chen stepped forward.

Take action directly and use Dragon Kingdom Kung Fu to directly knock down all these militants, and even remove all their firearms to pieces.

"Long Guo Kung Fu is so powerful."

"Oh my God, this is the legendary Kung Fu of the Dragon Kingdom."

"God, how can there be such a strong person in this world?"

"It's terrible, oh my God."

……

Those gangsters were all frightened, and they were all trembling in fear.

Later, the officials came. They were originally colluding with officials and gangsters, but seeing that Ye Chen and others were not so easy to bully, and they came from the powerful Dragon Kingdom, then Gloria and other foreign actors also came forward to negotiate, so this crisis was Removed smoothly.

Ye Chen once again became the hero of the crew through this incident.

Those foreign actors even regarded Ye Chen as their idol.

Even internationally famous actors like Gloria admire Ye Chen very much.

As this incident unfolded, the fame of the "Wolf Warrior" crew slowly spread in this small country.

After that, there has never been another incident of local gangsters finding fault.

Of course, every time Ye Chen shoots, giving money to local officials is also one of the most important reasons.

For the safety of the crew, Ye Chen would not spend any less money.

In another filming scene, many residents of the local slums came to watch the torturous scene where Ye Chen was infected with the Lamanla infectious disease.

Originally, the crew wanted to drive them away.

But Lu Jinshan pulled Ye Chen's clothes.

These local poor people are really pitiful. They are all skinny and look very pitiful.

Especially there are many elderly people and children among them.

Ye Chen made a decision directly: "Give two-thirds of the supplies to these poor people, and they are resupplying part of it, and all these expenses will be counted on Ye Chen personally."

These actions were also praised by the entire crew.

The residents of the slums were also grateful to the crew and actively cooperated with the crew in subsequent filming.

Even if the crew encounters some filming difficulties and lacks actors, these local people will take the initiative to help.

Of course, Ye Chen did not let these local residents suffer, and paid them wages according to the price of Dragon Kingdom's supporting equipment.

And this money is even the annual income of many residents.

These things quickly made the "Wolf Warrior" crew's reputation in the local area get better and better.

Ye Chen's reputation has also reached its peak among the entire crew.

Even foreign actors like Gloria admired Ye Chen.

During the break between filming, Ye Chen also used the accumulated popularity points to draw prizes.

After countless times of frustration, Ye Chen finally picked up the skill of a master beast tamer.

And this skill also helped Ye Chen become a god again.

In this scene, Leng Feng, played by Ye Chen, drives Lu Jinshan, who plays Rachel, and Dr. Chen's "daughter" Pasha out of the quarantine area, and then prepares to go to the Chinese factory.

On the way, Leng Feng and Rachel had a dispute because of their stance.

Rachel was so angry that she chose to get out of the car out of anger.

Instead, he encountered a pride of lions and returned to the car with his face pale with fear.

Although there are some funny elements in the filming of this scene, it is also a transition to relieve the tension in the movie. The most important thing is that through this scene, some background of the story can also be explained.

It needs to be reflected here that when war breaks out, other countries do not care about the safety of their citizens, but only the Dragon Kingdom actively evacuates its citizens.

so.

The atmosphere of filming this scene was very relaxed, but this scene was the most difficult scene to film.

Because the extras in this scene are not humans, but lions.

In order to make the movie more vivid and real, the crew decided to use real lions in the wild for the location.

The crew of the film crew searched for these lions for several days.

When filming, we also chose long-range shooting. The staff and director were far away from each other, and the crew also took precautions.

However, as the photographer, Lu Jinshan, due to the need of shooting, she did not have any protection when facing the lions.

Ye Chen looked at Lu Jinshan and said, "Don't be afraid, you have to believe in me."

"After you get out of the car, just take pictures. I will pay attention to the movements of the lions."

"So, don't worry about the threat posed by the lions to you, and just act as you should, okay?"

Lu Jinshan was also very nervous when filming this scene.

After all, he was facing a pride of wild lions, but after Ye Chen's guidance, she relaxed.

Ye Chenyou said to Yan Fei: "Director Yan, when you are shooting the passing cars, pay attention to adjusting the lens to shoot from multiple angles, and try not to make any noise to alarm the lions."

"The shooting of this shot is very dangerous, so we try our best to pass it in one go. You must be prepared to deal with all dangers. Safety is the first priority."

Later, Ye Chen carefully explained to Yan Fei the precautions for shooting.

Ye Chen, who has god-level acting skills as a director, has achieved almost perfect control over the angle of the camera and the details of the shooting.

Every time Yan Fei passed Ye Chen's guidance, he felt a little incredible.

After Ye Chen and Yan Fei finished explaining, they immediately walked into the set with Lu Jinshan and the foreign child who played Pasha.
