Chapter 324： carnival night

"Bravely fighting wolves, separated hundreds of people in a large-scale brawl scene alone, and defeated thirteen well-known martial arts masters in the case of a sneak attack. Smith Zhang is a powerful existence beyond Bruce Lee!"— "Entertainment Weekly Special"

"Yesterday's mass incident let us know that the director, Smith Zhang, turned out to be a fighter with amazing fighting power, and today he was attacked by many fighters, and his counterattack completely pushed Smith Zhang to the altar! ”—“California Daily”

"The God of Kung Fu of the New Generation! Smith Zhang!" - "Black Belt Magazine Special Issue"

As the most authoritative fighting magazine, although Zhang Dongcheng refused to be interviewed by Black Belt, Black Belt magazine still opened a special issue for Zhang Dongcheng.

It's all black belt magazines. Through interviews with other fighters, Zhang Dongcheng's quality can be inferred indirectly.

There must be a big deviation between the data obtained through analysis and the real data, but this undoubtedly arouses the pursuit of many fighting enthusiasts.

"From a legendary director to a kung fu master. How many surprises can Smith Zhang bring us?" - "Los Angeles Daily"

The overwhelming reports made Zhang Dongcheng attract the attention of the whole United States in an instant. His name even traveled across the ocean and spread to all parts of the world.

Well, regardless of whether he is **** or not, countless American teenagers are now concerned about whether Smith Zhang will open a martial arts gym....

"Hey Gavin, are you going out again?" Ender sat on the sofa bored, looking at Gavin who was fully dressed and ready to leave with his briefcase under his arm.

Opposite him, a boring program was playing on the TV.

Looking at Ender lazily, Gavin walked towards the door without saying a word.

"Legendary director Smith Zhang broke the shocking news again, fighting against the wolves alone!"

Suddenly, the host's exclamation came from the TV.

Subsequently, various amazing images of Zhang Dongcheng began to appear on the screen.

Blooded wolf carcasses, in front of the noisy airport gate, separated the scenes of hundreds of people fighting. In the office building of Dongcheng Films, after being attacked by 13 fighters, they knocked each other to the ground instead.

During the period, there were exclamations from reporters from time to time. Even Gavin, who was about to go out, was attracted by this program.

"Oh! God! It's not true!" Gavin stared dumbfounded at the picture where Zhang Dongcheng knocked down a burly fighter with a punch.

An De seemed very calm anyway. When he graduated, he had already experienced Zhang Dongcheng's powerful combat power.

Even if they teamed up together, they were beaten to pieces by Zhang Dongcheng.

It was just unexpected at the time that Zhang Dongcheng's full-strength burst had such destructive power.

Those fighters who were knocked down to the ground were the ones who had been featured in Black Belt magazines!

even besieged him alone, and was knocked over.

It is a pity that Zhang Dongcheng never revealed any news except that he said at the press conference that kung fu is a family tradition.

This also caused more speculation from the outside world.

Wing Chun Boxing Hall believes that when Zhang Dongcheng knocked away Muay Thai masters, he used inch fists, so his family martial arts should be inch fists.

Xingyi Boxing Gym believes that Zhang Dongcheng's karate master's catch is tiger claws, and believes that he uses Xingyi Quan.

There are different opinions, not only on the Internet, but also in reality, newspapers, media and TV stations have come out to join in the fun.

After this kind of chaotic situation lasted for nearly a week, the heads of the major boxing gyms tacitly believed that Zhang Dongcheng is the master of Chinese Kung Fu, a master of a generation! I think his kung fu can accommodate a hundred schools of thought!

At this time, Zhang Dongcheng was already hiding in his villa. With Patricia Hu Tianhai.

"Patricia!" On the bed, Zhang Dongcheng held Patricia's soft waist in his arms, and said, "Do you like making movies or being a host?"

Patricia's face was flushed with passion. Panting slightly, he lay on Zhang Dongcheng's chest, drew circles with his tender fingers, and said, "I seem to like them all!"

I have to admit that Patricia's talent in movies is not as good as Andy's. Although Andy's talent is poor, he wins because he is willing to work hard.

It’s not that Patricia doesn’t work hard, maybe as many people have said, God has arranged a place for everyone.

And Patricia's position is obviously not in the movie. Her acting skills were poor, but Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but marvel at the host's talent.

Although so far, Patricia has only briefly hosted a few millionaire shows, but many people have left a deep impression on her.

In movies, Patricia’s current participation in movies can’t be considered a minority, such as Ansuna in The Mummy, The Lady in Red in The Matrix, and the heroine in Dark War.

But even with the experience of three movies, the only thing Patricia is remembered is Ansuna in the mummy. This is thanks to Jason Statham, the relationship between Imerton and Ansuna The touching love made people remember this gorgeous ancient Egyptian beauty.

The Matrix has made fun of it, and Patricia's performance is more like a soy sauce. The heroine in the dark war itself is dispensable. Those two films did little to add to her popularity.

Because of all the above, Zhang Dongcheng asked Patricia such a question now.

"Dongcheng!" Patricia supported Zhang Dongcheng's chest with both hands, straightened her upper body, and said, "Do you have any arrangements for me?"

Zhang Dongcheng nodded, and told Patricia his plan. "I think you are more suitable to be a host than an actor. The millionaire you hosted last time really reminded many people!"

"Really?" Patricia was in a slightly depressed mood, and the person she liked was a director. Patricia really wanted to help him in this aspect, but unfortunately, so far, it was Zhang Dongcheng who helped and accommodated her.

Patricia is not a messy girl. Her face quickly cheered up, and she said, "Alright then! Smith! I'll listen to you!"

"Millionaire's hosting style is obviously not as good as yours. I will call Bulazi tomorrow and let you be the host of this show. I think Blaise will be crazy!" Zhang Dongcheng stretched out his hand to Patricia. Ya pinched the tip of Ya's quite coincident nose.

Yes, compared to the episodes of Millionaires hosted by Patricia, the host that Blaise hired is completely a foil. Doesn't know how to adjust the emotions of the audience.

"I'm leaving, can you fool around with that Atlanta!" Patricia suddenly seemed to think of something. One turned over and climbed onto Zhang Dongcheng's body again, using the posture of a female superior, like a vigorous female knight, ups and downs on Zhang Dongcheng's body, and said: "I will squeeze you dry now. Save you fooling around !"

"Hiss!" Zhang Dongcheng gasped comfortably.

A blushing movement was played in the room very quickly. The beautiful scenery seemed to make even the moon shy to come out.

Zhang Dongcheng's action was very decisive. After making arrangements with Patricia, he arranged Patricia to be on ZDC TV the next day and became the host of the millionaire program.

After arranging work for Patricia, Zhang Dongcheng got rid of the siege of the reporters, quietly led the crew to leave Los Angeles, and went to a cowboy bull riding performance venue in the suburbs.

Under the night, the crew members are getting ready.

Zhang Dongchen came to Orlando and said, "Orlando, how do you feel?"

"It's... okay!" Orlando's voice trembled. After all, he's going to be riding a crazy cow in a moment. Although after a period of special training, Orlando still feels very scared!

"Relax!" Zhang Dongcheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Our safety measures are in place, as long as you are careful, there will be absolutely no danger! Remember what the coach taught you!"

In order to shoot this group of shots, Zhang Dongcheng must have an old cowboy to teach Orlando some tricks. For example, when riding on a cow, how to avoid the moment when you are thrown off to avoid injury.

Such a trick is actually nothing to put it bluntly, but a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, is injured or even died, all because of this.

Orlando took a deep breath, gave Zhang Dongcheng a thumbs up, and said: "Smith, don't worry! No problem!"

"OK! Come on!"

After leaving Orlando, Zhang Dongcheng once again ordered the crew to ensure the safety of Orlando.

After everything was ready, Orlando rode on the back of the bull trapped by the bullpen. Zhang Dongcheng sat behind the camera.

"Every unit is ready! Action!"

Following Zhang Dongcheng's order, the staff who had prepared long ago let go of the bullpen immediately.

The black cow rushed out of the stall with a low mooing sound, jumping and shaking constantly.

Orlando, who was riding on the back of the bull, felt like a small plank in the strong wind and waves at this moment, being thrown back and forth with the beating of the black bull. The strong sense of dizziness made him remember the old cowboy's Teach, holding the rein tightly with his right hand, constantly adjusting the center of gravity of the body with the beating of the cow.

After all, Orlando is not a native-born cowboy. After just studying for a few days, he can't control his center of gravity on the back of the cow.

Soon, with the shaking of the black bull, Orlando was finally thrown to the ground.

Zhang Dongcheng suddenly became nervous, and said loudly: "Attention everyone, cowboy clown, hurry up!"

The professional clown, dressed in red, green and green, jumped in front of the black cow who was about to go crazy, posing various provocative poses, and made the black cow who was kicking in circles rush towards him.

Orlando, who was safe, complained and limped towards the outside of the venue.

"CUT!" Zhang Dongcheng jumped up and said excitedly: "Orlando, you succeeded! It's great!"

Orlando grinned, but the injury on his body was affected. The smiling expression immediately turned into a painful expression.

"Doctor! Doctor, hurry up and see how Orlando's injury is!" Zhang Dongcheng greeted quickly.

After examining Orlando, the doctor who followed the film crew finally confirmed that his injury was just a simple sprain. As long as he applied a little medicinal wine and slept well tonight, he would be alive and kicking tomorrow!

Hearing such an answer, Zhang Dongcheng and others breathed a sigh of relief.

As a pig's foot, Orlando still has a lot of roles in the future. If his injury is serious this time, it is likely to lead to Zhang Dongcheng's plan to rely on Brokeback Mountain to compete for tomorrow's Oscar.

After this part of the scene, tomorrow is shooting the scene where Orlando and his wife in the play meet for the first time.

For this role, Zhang Dongcheng did not choose what he wanted to find before, but chose Jennifer Love Hewitt through a very unexpected news.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was born on February 21, 1997 in Waco, Texas, USA.

In 1994, he became famous by starring in the TV series "Family of Five", and then entered the big screen. She once starred in the two parts of "I Know What You Did Last Summer Vacation". This series became the favorite movies of young people at the end of the 20th century, and Jennifer also became one of the most popular female artists in the 20th century with this series of movies.

Also starred in the award-winning TV series Ghost Whisperer and The Client List. Jennifer has been nominated for an Emmy Award for "Ghost Whisperer", has also been nominated for a Saturn Award 5 times, and won this award 3 times. Another Golden Globe nomination for "The Client List".

She is a multi-talented actress, singer, director, producer, and has released many solo albums and singles. He even wrote "The DayIShotCupid" in 2010, which became a New York Times bestseller in its first week of release.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is an all-round female artist who can act, dance, write and sing, and has multiple identities such as actress, singer, and best-selling author.

Meeting such a versatile actor was also a very accidental situation.

Originally, Zhang Dongcheng planned to invite one of Julia Roberts and Liv Tyler to audition for this role.

However, after accidentally seeing the family of five, Zhang Dongcheng suddenly felt that perhaps Jennifer was also a very good choice.

In 1992, at the age of thirteen, she had the experience of acting in movies.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Zhang Dongcheng found Jennifer's contact information, and the two hit it off right away. Jennifer was also very curious about being able to cooperate with a director like Zhang Dongcheng.

The next day, the weather was beautiful and the sun was shining brightly.

On the bullring, Zhang Dongcheng was wearing a peaked cap, directing the crew to arrange the next shooting task.

"Hi! Jennifer, are you ready?" After arranging the set, Zhang Dongcheng came to the dressing room and asked Jennifer.

"OK!" Jennifer made an OK gesture to Zhang Dongcheng.

On top of her head, she wears a fiery red cowboy hat. He was wearing a red and white striped jacket. It looks youthful and enthusiastic.

"Okay then! We're going to start shooting soon!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded to Jennifer.

Before filming, Zhang Dongcheng conducted special training for Jennifer, Orlando and others for more than a week. During the filming of this segment, Zhang Dongcheng did not want to use a double, because it would destroy the overall effect of the movie.

Maybe it’s an exaggeration to say this, but Zhang Dongcheng himself is a person who wants to be perfect, otherwise, when he shoots other movies, he won’t add his own understanding to them repeatedly.

This is a state of mind similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After everything was ready, Zhang Dongcheng sat in front of the camera, looked at the angle of view of the camera first, then nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Attention all units!"

Although Zhang Dongcheng has never lost his temper in the crew, his experience of fighting wolves alone in the Rocky Mountains gave him unprecedented influence in the crew.

In one sentence, all the staff prepared everything without daring to neglect.

"OK! Action!"

"Here she is! Everyone, look at how fast she is! This is Lulyn Newsom from Texas! Let her hear our applause!" From a loudspeaker, a bewitching voice continued to be heard .

Jennifer was riding on a horse and rushed into the camera quickly. The driver horse is a constant performer around several round piers.

After turning around several times in a row, Jennifer rushed out of the performance venue on the horse in the long shot.

The moment she rushed out, the hook that had been prepared earlier hooked off the red cowboy hat on her head immediately, and it just landed in front of Orlando who was sitting behind a tricycle.

This is the first meeting of Jack and Lulin in the movie!

Orlando jumped off from behind the tricycle and picked up the hat.

Flick off the dust on it, and return it to Jennifer who came on horseback.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and passed by.

After the camera finally gave Orlando a close-up of the face, it was completely over.

"CUT! It's great, Orlando! Jennifer!" Zhang Dongcheng clapped his hands and said, "Let's continue to prepare and shoot the scene of Orlando's bull training!"

Having the experience of shooting last night, the cows we chose this time were more cooperative. After an afternoon of shooting, Zhang Dongcheng and others successfully shot all the shots of the cowboy game.

After the sky darkened, the day's shooting was completed again.

While calling the crew to prepare for other filming locations, Zhang Dongcheng flipped through the scene notebook in his hand. According to the current speed, it is expected that Brokeback Mountain will be completed before the beginning of November. Post-production takes about two weeks.

If the time is tight, it will be released just after the end of 1998, and it will be able to use Brokeback Mountain to participate in next year's Oscars!

Zhang Dongcheng had a relaxed smile on his face. He immediately took out his phone and called Adaman.

"Help me book the bar not far from our company!"

"Smith, what are you going to do? Shouldn't you be shooting a movie now?" Adaman asked curiously.

It is true that Zhang Dongcheng rarely does things like booking out a bar.

"Well, today's filming went very smoothly, but the shots this day are quite dangerous, I plan to take the crew to drink and relax!" Zhang Dongcheng said with a smile.

Brokeback Mountain can be released according to the established plan, so the pressure in Zhang Dongcheng's heart will be relieved a lot.

"Okay! I understand! But don't you mind if I bring a few more people along?" Adaman said.

"Oh! This is up to you! I have no objection!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dongcheng immediately said to the crew members who were packing up the equipment and the actors who were taking off their makeup: "OK! Everyone, let's go to the bar downstairs of the company to relax tonight. My treat!"

"Long live Director Smith!" Hearing this sentence, cheers came from the crew.

The scenes in the past two days are indeed very dangerous. It is not a strange thing to die in a rodeo by accident.

No matter how good the safety work of the crew is, accidents may happen. From this we can see how much pressure the crew and actors are under.

Especially Orlando, this guy is a complete novice. A month ago, he didn't even know what a rodeo was. Now, it's time to play a character who is passionate about rodeos.

During the two-day filming, Orlando was thrown off by cows more than ten times. Although fortunately, due to the security measures in place, he was not seriously injured, this kind of shock is still inevitable.

This relaxation can be regarded as giving Orlando a chance to adapt.

After all, Orlando was the first guy to follow Zhang Dongcheng. At that time, he was still penniless. Without Orlando participating in the shoot of the sound engineer, Zhang Dongcheng could hardly imagine what his own sound engineer would be like.

Dongcheng Pictures, as an entertainment company, is located on the edge of the entire city of Los Angeles. But the nightlife in this area is very rich.

On the street downstairs, within a short distance of about 200 meters, there are four large bars and twelve dance halls.

In this day and age, there is no such entertainment place as KTV. Furthermore, KTV is the abbreviation of Karaoke Television, and Karaok is a mixed name in Japanese and English. As the name suggests, this thing originated in Japan.

At this stage, the most popular entertainment venues are undoubtedly bars and dance halls.

The bar that Zhang Dongcheng let Adaman book out is the closest one to Dongcheng Pictures on the whole street. The name is HopeBar! Translated, it is Hope Bar.

Zhang Dongcheng finds it hard to understand that a bar for people's entertainment should be named Hope! Does this mean that after drinking too much, there will be hope?

Of course, these are just complaints.

When Zhang Dongcheng led the crew to Hope Bar, Adaman was smoking a cigarette at the door, waiting boredly.

"Hey! Smith, you guys are so slow! I've been waiting here for almost half an hour!" Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng and others finally arrived, Adaman couldn't help complaining.

"Okay, Adaman, thank you! Is the venue booked?" Zhang Dongcheng patted Adaman on the shoulder and asked.

"Of course!" Adaman immediately beamed with joy, and said, "Tonight is our carnival night!"

"Let's go everyone! What are you waiting for?" Zhang Dongcheng waved behind him, and a group of people rushed towards the bar.

Speaking of which, when they were in the UK, Adaman, Orlando, Zhang Dongcheng, Jason Statham, Jack and others often went back to bars or various small shops to drink.
