Chapter 3 Teaching Buddhism to Ghost Rider

After traveling back in time for a month and being stimulated by the demon princess who lusted after Andy's body, Andy finally began to rectify the original work based on Goldfinger's work. The original movie had no other meaning except for a certain aspect of education. Now the movie must be diversified and

More appreciative.

Of course, the battle between the Greek gods will not be like the old-fashioned martial arts in Xiangjiang. The main competition is divine power. Just find an action guide.

Saint-Fernand's industrial chain is very complete, so it's easy to hire an action director. Two thousand dollars a week is a small amount compared to the costumes and scenery.

As the lead actor and producer, Andy has very high requirements for his first transformation film. Four actresses were personally selected and strictly controlled. Two are young and enchanting, and two are mature and plump. They are all veteran actors in the valley.

There won't be any problem with your acting skills.

The two male actors were also specially chosen to be less handsome and taller than him. According to the original work, Hephaestus was an ugly old man, and Ares was a muscular man with scars on his face.

Andy didn't want a salary, there were four female leads plus two male leads, and a dozen extras, for a total of 20,000 US dollars.

Haha, unless there is someone like Andy who is already famous, the salary of actors in the valley is so low.

The costumes are strictly ancient Greek costumes and armors, which are more ornate. The construction materials for the Palace of the Gods were purchased directly from other crews and were second-hand goods that were not used by other crews. They were basically foam boards and plastics. The costumes cost a total of 30,000 US dollars.

Done.

Because it is a small scene and a simple plot, it takes a week to prepare and start shooting immediately.

The first scene, Apollo fights Hephaestus.

"Apollo, you dare to covet my wife, I will burn you to death!"

After saying that, the Hephaestus actor made a fire-breathing motion toward Andy. Andy threw up the cloak behind him to cover his face. After three seconds, Hephaestus breathed fire.

When it stopped and prepared for the next round of fire breathing, Apollo shot his bow and arrow.

"Click!"

It's not a big-screen movie, so the acting skills are just passable. It's just a one-shot scene. The fire-breathing and spear-throwing trajectories in this scene are both green screen scenes, and when Andy shoots an arrow, a dazzling golden light will suddenly appear. This special effect requires 5,000 yuan.

It's a lot of money. This is where he reflects his Olympian bloodline. The special effects can't be careless.

During a break in filming, the makeup artist came forward to start putting on makeup and glue feather arrows on the Hephaestus actor's heels.

Although it is an art film, Andy is still perfect, highlighting Apollo's characteristic of playing on other people's heels.

"Act 2, action!"

"Apollo, you treacherous fellow!"

The injured Hephaestus cursed, and Apollo, played by Andy, raised his eyes to the sky and glanced at him, "Beautiful Artemis is not something you can have! He belongs to the most powerful gods, and that person is

I!"

Looks arrogant.

"Oh my god, what's going on!"

Artemis appeared in sexy clothes and saw Hephaestus covering his chest on the ground, but did not help him up.

"Apollo, you wounded him, why did you do this?"

Apollo, also known as Andy, finally looked at this sexy goddess with his eyes skyward.

"Oh, Artemis, how much I love you. To express my love, I will defeat all enemies on the road, even Zeus."

After finishing speaking, the proud Apollo stared into the distance again, with a look of abandonment, which instantly captured Artemis's confidence.

"Oh, Apollo~, this is the most beautiful love word I have ever heard."

Apollo roared, and four batches of carriages with golden horses arrived. Apollo jumped on the carriage and stretched out his hand to Artemis: "Follow me, my goddess!"

Without any hesitation, Artemis was pulled into the car by Apollo.

"drive!"

"Ka, passed!"

At the end of the second scene, the special effects of the carriage flying into the sky will be done in the later stage, which will cost 10,000 US dollars. However, the special effects of this scene are not the most expensive. The cost of renting four batches of golden horses alone is 20,000 US dollars.

In the third scene, Andy and Artemis kiss each other. This scene is a little bit abbreviated, but the overall style is different from the cliché ones that Andy shot before.

Sunshine, garden, swing.

Will make extensive use of long shots, revealing beauty and sanctity, similar to the style of the history of the Roman Empire.

Gods can't be the same as mortals.

But a considerable part of the time of this kind of movie is spent on this. One is that the audience likes to see it, and the other is that this kind of drama is really economical.

It took three hours to shoot the third scene, and the first day of filming was over.

In the evening, Andy got off work and went home with a 38-inch meatball pizza and several cans of Coke. Johnny stayed here for a week. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he basically didn't go out. When eating, he had to take out or take out.

Andy brought it back.

"Andy, I have to say that you have changed my understanding of art film actors. It turns out that your life is so self-disciplined that it is not chaotic at all."

Johnny swallowed the last piece of pizza and watched Andy writing a script in the study, looking for something to talk about. Andy is indeed very self-disciplined. If Johnny were not at home, he would habitually exercise at night or go to bed early and get up early. St. Fernan Bodybuilding

The title of Mr. does not come out of thin air.

"Johnny, I advise you to pay less attention to art and be your Ghost Rider. The right way is to eliminate evil and promote good."

When Johnny heard this, he sighed and said: "Andy, do you feel that God is unfair to some people? I am just an ordinary person but I became the Ghost Rider. I have no fixed place and cannot fall in love like ordinary people.

"

Johnny was originally a wealthy motorcycle acrobat and a childhood sweetheart, but now both of them are gone, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

"Johnny, there is a saying in Buddhism: Don't worry about your future when you do good deeds, because everything you do in life will be reckoned with after death. Those who are guilty will go to hell, those who are kind will go to heaven, and those who do a lot of good deeds will go to the West.

Happy world."

"Think about it, are there only evil souls in Mephisto's hell? They can't take away the good souls."

"So I think that as long as you keep doing good things, Mephisto will not be able to do anything to you, and one day you will even be able to lift this curse."

Maybe Andy's persuasion worked and Johnny looked a little better.

"Andy, are there any gods in Buddhism?"

He asked this to determine whether Buddhism is truly spiritual.

"The question you asked is too narrow. Of course there are gods in Buddhism, but the gods in Buddhism are not Asgardian gods like Thor. Buddhism emphasizes that everyone can become a god. As long as you have wisdom, transparency and merit, you can

You will become a god. This is a way for mortals to transform and liberate themselves. When you have time, listen to the American translation of the Heart Sutra at Shangri-La. It is very suitable for dealing with your situation of self-doubt."

Shangri-La is an app for listening to books. It has everything on it. Relatively speaking, Buddhist detachment is easier to achieve than Taoist detachment, so Andy introduced Buddhist thought.

"Really? That's great! I'm worried about being bored on the road. Listening to this can relieve my anxiety."

Andy wondered: "Where are you going?"

"I heard that there is a Ghost Rider in New York, and I want to check it out. I will go out when it is dark, because I am afraid there will be too much movement during the day."

New York? That should be Johnny's younger brother. It would be nice to recognize him as a relative. Johnny needs similar people to increase his sense of identity.

"Okay, things over there are over and welcome back."

"So, Andy, can you lend me some money? I can buy some bread or something for gas on the road."

Just throw the wallet over.

"You can take as much as you want, and remember to pay it back."

As soon as Johnny left, the courier truck sped over, the door opened quickly, a large package was thrown at Andy's door, and the courier truck sped away again.

"Fake!"

Andy couldn't recognize a single curse, so he just accepted the express delivery here, which was so brutal and vicious.

Fortunately, the package from Longguo had enough foam, and not a single liter of wolfberry puree was broken.

Andy has become a model worker in the Valley. In addition to exercising regularly at night and not staying up late or drinking spermicidal drinks, he also often orders a lot of supplements from Longguo. He eats a lot of ginseng and deer antlers. The new wolfberry puree is more convenient to eat after opening the lid.

It’s cheap, I’ve been using this lately.

The overseas version of the 88 website is quite convenient.

Just as he was about to open the door, the sound of the door of the villa across the road opening was heard. Andy glanced at it, and a white woman in a black dress came out.

The woman looks to be in her thirties, slightly fat, with big eyes. She is generally pretty, but the most distinctive thing is her skin color. Even in the evening, you can see that she is a little too pale.

The woman should be the new owner of the house, and she doesn’t know where she came from. She has settled here, so she’s also traveling with her, right?

When Andy looked at the woman, the woman also looked at him.

"Hello, I'm a new neighbor. My name is Nadja. Are you of Asian mixed race?"

One characteristic of suburban villas is that they are large in size. There is a three-meter-wide road between the villas, and the yards of the villas are usually surrounded by fences or shrubs. They are private, and people you don’t know usually won’t be far away from each other across the fence.

Say hello.

But this woman greeted her across the fence very enthusiastically, and Andy was embarrassed.

"Hello, Najia, I'm Andy Huang, are you the new neighbor?"

After Andy finished speaking, Nadja suddenly covered her mouth and screamed: "Oh my god, it's really you. I thought you looked familiar just now. I've seen many of your works and I'm a fan of yours. Oh my god, I see you."

Real person!"

Faint to death.

Although women in Citi are more open-minded, there is no need to be so surprised.

Moreover, Nadja's scream attracted the people in the house, and soon a tall Middle Eastern man, a fat white man in a suit, a bald man with glasses and a little fat man slipped over.

Andy frowned. Although the combination of these people was strange, how could they be so familiar?

Still surprised, Nadja pointed at Andy and said to the fat white man in a suit behind him: "Lazlo, dear, look who this is?"

"Oh God, it's Andy Wang, my favorite hero from the "Good Neighbors" series!"

Laszlo's comment resonated with the other three, and they all nodded.

Although being able to bring joy to other people's lives gives Andy a sense of accomplishment, Andy is still a little uncomfortable with challenging things in public.

"Calm down, it's just work."

"Andy, let me introduce to you, this is my husband Laszlo, this is Nando, this is Colin Robinson, and this is Guillermo."

After listening to Najia's introduction, Andy's polite smile suddenly froze. He finally knew who these people were!

"Andy, we just moved here and it's great to have you as our neighbor."

"Yes, Andy, you must come to our home when you are free."

Regardless of whether it was Nadja or Laszlo who spoke, both of them winked at Andy. It seemed that just like in the show, this couple really lived an open life and had many hobbies. No wonder they were fans of Andy.

"Okay, I must go."

After saying that, Andy was not prepared to talk nonsense with these non-human beings. He pushed the door into the house and locked the door in one go.

After closing the door, Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

What the hell, the protagonist of "Vampire Life" has moved next door. This world is a bit of a hodgepodge.
