China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

If an actor is judged to have facial paralysis, it is definitely a curse word.

But some people are born with facial paralysis, such as Stallone. Stallone was born with a dystocia, and a nurse's mistake in using midwifery forceps injured his facial nerve, causing permanent paralysis of part of the muscles in Stallone's left cheek.

This has also resulted in the fact that in the 20 years since he became popular, the media has always described his acting skills as facially paralyzed, mocking him for having such a face that he can only play tough guys with deep hatred and bitterness.

Stallone actually cares about the word facial paralysis, but he also knows that the media wrote it that way on purpose. If he is really angry, he will really let the media succeed.

This time in Black Hole Frequency, he still wanted to show off his role as a father, proving that he was not only capable of martial arts, but also of literature.

But he is very unhappy now because director Wu has slapped him many times.

Ka! Sylvester, what I want is a kind of tenderness with tacit understanding. A tough guy father talks to his son 25 years later. You successfully saved people from the fire through the time and space connection, and you still survived. Changing destiny, this sense of accomplishment and tacit understanding between a strange father and son, allows you to have feelings for your adult son across time and space...

I know, I know how to act! I have a daughter and I have a son, I don't need you to teach me how to be a father!

Stallone yelled angrily, then slapped the table and turned around to leave.

Everyone else on the set was silent at this time. After all, Stallone was the biggest celebrity in the crew. When he got angry and started arguing with the director, no one on the crew dared to say anything.

Wu Yuchen cursed secretly in his mind, then made a gesture, and the assistant director immediately said: Everyone, take a rest first.

Producer Jeff came over, patted Wu Yuchen on the shoulder and said:

Wu, you have to get used to it. Working with a big star like Stallone will always encounter this kind of problem.

I know. But I think he needs to calm down now. I want to film other people's scenes first.

Jeff shook his head: No, I don't think that's a good idea. You don't know these big stars.

Huh? Wu Yuchen showed a slightly confused expression.

“What we have to do now is to catch up with Stallone and actively invite him back to make him feel his importance on the set.

If you let him know that you didn't chase him after he left, but instead went on to film other people's scenes, then I can guarantee that you won't let him cooperate with you anymore, and maybe he will just leave the set and go home. When the time comes, if you want to invite him back, it will take ten times the effort!

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but slapped his forehead: He is 50 years old, not a 5-year-old spoiled child!

Oh, you're right, these big stars are like spoiled children! Jeff agreed.

Wu Yuchen complained on the lips, but he knew in his heart that what Jeff just said was right, and he still had to go and coax Stallone back quickly, otherwise the progress of the crew would be delayed, and he would be the one who would be in trouble later.

While walking with Jeff, Wu Yuchen asked: Jeff, does Stallone have a son?

In Wu Yuchen's impression, Stallone's children are his three stunningly beautiful daughters. Countless people on the Internet chase Stallone and call them father-in-law every day.

Of course, Stallone has two sons.

Jeff said to Wu Yuchen, but lowered his voice a little:

However, both of his sons have some problems. The eldest son often takes pills, and the second son has autism since he was a child...

Wu Yuchen only learned about these things after listening to Jeff's words, and wondered whether Stallone's repeated poor performance in this scene had something to do with him and his son. But he wouldn't mention it, because he didn't know what was going on.

When Wu Yuchen and Jeff arrived at Stallone's residence hotel, his agent came out to greet them: You are so lucky~

Wu Yuchen and Jeff were confused, but the agent didn't say anything more.

When Wu Yuchen and Jeff saw Stallone holding his one-year-old daughter with a doting smile, they realized that Stallone's wife had brought her daughter to see him.

Wow, Sylvester, your daughter is so cute, just like an angel! Wu Yuchen and Jeff praised.

Of course, she is my angel! Stallone was completely gone from his previous anger at this time.

None of them mentioned what happened to the crew just now, but instead focused on the topic of children.

Sylvester, we didn't know your daughter was coming. If that's the case, why not change your role and spend a few days with her? Wu Yuchen said.

No, no, I'll go back to the set tomorrow. I think I'm in good shape now!

After Stallone finished speaking, he stretched out his fingers and touched his daughter's face, making the little girl giggle.

…

Yes! Very good, Sylvester, your performance can win an Oscar!

At this time, Wu Yuchen did not hesitate to express his praise. He now treats this 50-year-old guy as a 5-year-old child. Why should I be angry with a child?

And he really didn't lie just now. Stallone really found the feeling. The tenderness of a tough guy can touch people's hearts the most, and the effect completely exceeded Wu Yuchen's expectations.

Stallone heard this and showed his trademark crooked smile: What does an Oscar winner mean? I am Stallone!

The crew then entered the fast lane for filming. As long as the father and son, Stallone and Hugh Jackman, find a tacit understanding, the film will not have much of a problem.

Three weeks later, in front of an old building, there were prepared fire trucks and a bunch of firefighters ready to go.

At this time, the staff of the guarantee company stationed on the set were shouting at Wu Yuchen and Jeff:

This is too dangerous! You can definitely use a stand-in! Stallone should not be allowed to go into battle in person. This greatly increases the risk for the crew!

In Hollywood, there is a completion insurance system, and more than 60% of films have completed completion insurance. The completion guarantee is actually to protect the interests of investors to the greatest extent and prevent various accidents.

The guarantee company will establish a strict risk prevention system and will intervene in every step from early preparation to final completion to ensure that the film can be shot smoothly.

Black Hole Frequency was naturally insured for completion by Sony, and now its staff are firmly opposed to Stallone taking risks in this fire scene.

Please relax, you heard it, the fire brigade assured us that there will be no fire accidents! Jeff persuaded him.

How could you believe their lies! What if Stallone, the leading actor, is injured...

Wu Yuchen interrupted him directly:

That's why I arranged this scene at the end, isn't it? All other scenes have been filmed, and as long as this scene is filmed, it will be completed. Moreover, it is not that we are asking Stallone to play, but that he insists on not using a stand-in and must do it himself Go on, can you convince him?

The staff members were speechless when they thought of Stallone's cold, paralyzed face. After a moment, they could only say: You must take safety measures to ensure nothing goes wrong!

After appeasing the insurance personnel here, Wu Yuchen walked to Stallone again: Sylvester, are you sure you will do the whole process by yourself later, without a substitute?

Stallone showed a crooked smile: Of course, this is the only big scene in the whole movie, how could I still use a stunt double?! I'm Stallone!

Wu Yuchen also smiled when he heard this. He still admired this kind of professionalism.

This scene was about Stallone going to save a little girl who was trapped in a fire. In the original timeline, he died during the rescue, but because of the radio conversation with his future son, he remembered his son's words at the critical moment. Instead of taking the seemingly safe stairs, he slid along the unloading slide on the other side. Go down. Sure enough, the stairs exploded not long after, and Stallone and the little girl who slipped down the drain were safe and sound.

Everything on the set has been checked. The firefighters said that the fire was completely under their control, and the slide passage has been tested many times and there is no problem at all.

There is no nonsense, no surprises, just as Stallone said, he is very familiar with filming this kind of scenes.

After he fished out Stallone who fell into the river from the exit of the passage, Wu Yuchen shouted to him: Sylvester, you are great, perfect!

This is just child's play to me! Stallone said while wiping the water off his body with a towel.

At the same time, the entire crew was cheering, because the completion of the last scene means that the filming is about to be completed!

That night, the crew held a closing banquet in the hotel. There was no such thing as drinking and chatting and cherishing each other. For everyone, this was just a job to make money. For Stallone, unless the movie does well after it is released, he will not be sympathetic to Wu Yuchen, a newcomer in Hollywood.

The filming was completed, but Wu Yuchen and Jeff were not finished with their work, and they immediately jumped into post-production without taking a break.

For most directors, editing a movie takes at least more than a month because they have to compare effects back and forth and make choices.

But Wu Yuchen only spent 10 days here, which completely shocked Jeff.

Of course, this is only the director's cut, not the final cut. If Sony Columbia is not satisfied in the end, it will be re-edited.

However, Wu Yuchen did not pursue any literary art or depth when making Black Hole Frequency. He went for this movie just for the box office results. It is suspenseful when it should be suspenseful, and sensational when it should be sensational. The whole rhythm is a pure Hollywood commercial production. .

At the same time, the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic have been produced here. I have to say that people are expensive for their own reasons. The effect is indeed good. Wu Yuchen is very satisfied. He believes that it will definitely leave a deep impression on the audience.

A few weeks later, Wu Yuchen was woken up by the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong. Seeing Gretchen busy, he rubbed his eyes and asked, Why are you up so early?

Gretchen replied excitedly: Today I can see what kind of movie I am starring in. I am so excited just thinking about it. How can I still sleep!

Wu Yuchen yawned and got up to clean up. Today is not a movie release, how could it be so fast?

Instead, Black Hole Frequency has been produced, and there will be an internal preview screening, and people from the company and Stallone will come to watch it.

In a small movie theater, Stallone watched his wife from the movie come in with Wu Yuchen on her arm, and nodded to Wu Yuchen as a greeting. The matter between these two people is not a secret among the crew. He has known about it for a long time and it is common in Hollywood.

Wu Yuchen let out a breath after sitting down. At this point, he had done everything he could do, and the rest had nothing to do with him. The decision whether the movie would be edited or not was entirely in the hands of Sony Columbia. , even Stallone couldn't interfere with anything, the most he could do was yell a few times.

Stallone himself didn't know whether it was right or wrong to take on this 30 million low-cost production. Although he felt that the young director Wu was more capable than he imagined before joining the team, many films made by capable directors were not accepted. recognized.

Nearly two hours later, Stallone finally came to his senses after the movie came to an end. He actually felt it was great and was completely involved in the plot from beginning to end. He's not bragging, he thought the scene where he rushed out and killed the villain with a single shot to save his son was so cool!

When the lights in the theater came on again, Stallone turned to Wu Yuchen and said, Boy, you did a good job. You have been recognized by Stallone.

Haha, that's really my honor~ Wu Yuchen is also used to the way of getting along with Stallone.

At this time, someone in the theater clapped gently, and it was none other than Stanton, one of the top executives.

Very good, completely exceeded my expectations! What do you think?

He asked a few people around him who were watching it together. It could be seen that he was in a good mood. If the quality of the movie was not good, he would not ask this question. Instead, he would turn around and leave. After the few people went back, they would discuss privately how to deal with it.

My personal senses are very good! The science fiction element of time travel is used very cleverly, and suspense and family love are perfectly integrated. I think the audience will like it.

It's a bit of a pity. I think it can definitely compete in the summer season, but it's already over June and the summer season has already been arranged.

When Wu Yuchen heard the praise from these company executives, he couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that the movie would not be cut.

However, at this moment, someone said: Director Wu, the movie is very good, but is it a bit long? Can it be shortened? This will be beneficial to film scheduling.

This is a question that the publicity department staff will ask, but several senior executives also looked at Wu Yuchen. If it can be shorter while ensuring quality, why not do it?

Wu Yuchen refused directly:

No more cuts! You have just watched the movie. There are not many big scenes in the movie, and there are not many fighting scenes. It is the interlocking plot and foreshadowing that make it so fascinating. If you cut it again, It will definitely cause the quality of the movie to decline!”

Stallone also spoke in support: I also think it's good now, it's less than two hours, and it's completely within the audience's acceptance range.

Stanton smiled and nodded: Okay, I know your opinions. Director Wu, Sylvester, we will inform you when we confirm the follow-up of the film.

Wu Yuchen nodded, knowing that he should wait until the release time was confirmed and let them cooperate with the promotion.

After Wu Yuchen walked out of the theater, Stallone came over and patted him on the shoulder:

Boy, I believe in my vision. There will be a place for you in Hollywood.

Wu Yuchen heard this and deliberately used the honorific:

Mr. Stallone, thank you for the compliment! Can you just call me by my name in the future?

Stallone laughed when he heard this: Let's wait until the movie is really successful!

Wu Yuchen looked at Stallone's back and curled his lips, a realistic old guy.

This trip to Hollywood is almost over. Wu Yuchen stayed here for 3 months and personally experienced the entire Hollywood production process. I must admit that its advantages and strengths lie not in a certain point, but in a whole process. The entire industrial system is strong and perfect.

But as a director, his experience was really terrible. The work is out of control from beginning to end and full of surprises. As a director, he has to spend a lot of time on intrigues from the beginning of preparation.

If Black Hole Frequency is successful, he will have to plan his next Hollywood film no matter what. He doesn't want any more surprises, and he must let the crew and actors be as much under his control as possible!
