Chapter 365 Casting the Actors of 'The Allied Expendables'

The script of "The Expendables 2" still had to be handed over to Cheng Long's company. Yang Yun called and it happened that the script of "Tomb Raider 1 - Chinese Prequel" had already been drafted. Cheng Long simply decided to send the script over in person.

, stop by to visit the Longteng headquarters.

Yang Yun had no feeling at all about Cheng Long's achievements, but his employees were extremely excited. International movie superstar Cheng Long came to visit. What an honor it was! And star chasers don't have to chase stars all over the world.

Don’t be too happy if the star comes directly to your company and takes the initiative to pursue you!

When Cheng Long stepped out of the Longteng VIP business car, he was greeted by dozens of fans and fans. There was only one media outlet from the Beijing Youth Daily. Fans and reporters were quite restrained, sending flowers and taking pictures, without screaming or pulling madly.

People's expressions were excited, but their movements were extremely restrained, making the whole thing feel like going through the motions.

The elder brother had never seen this scene before, and felt very strange in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged and he followed Zhao Yongping into the building. In a place with few people, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Are these your employees of Longteng? Why are they different from ordinary people?"

The movie fans are different!”

Zhao Yongping led the way and explained as he walked: "Longteng employees are all calm and collected people, and they don't need to show their pursuit of stars on their faces. Don't worry, their love for you is definitely beyond your imagination!"

Sure enough, it was beyond Cheng Long's imagination. There were videos, posters, and photos on a table in the VIP lounge waiting for his signature. Zhao Yongping laughed loudly: "They will support you with practical actions. They will not only watch your movies, but also buy them."

A collection of video tapes. And all of them are genuine! Longteng’s employees are rational fans and are very busy at work. They can’t all come and see you, so we collected their personal belongings and handed them over to you for autograph!”

Cheng Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wrote quickly and muttered: "Are all IT people so rigid? What a bunch of weirdos..."

"That's because geniuses are all weirdos!" Yang Yun's voice came from behind, leading a few people to follow him, hugged Cheng Long, and said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, eldest brother is so handsome and powerful!

Not bad! I’ll give you the role of a driver!”

"What driver?" Cheng Long greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands, and asked his assistant to send the script. He came over and said: "Brother, please tell me your idea for this "The Expendables 2" game. I'm thinking now.

It’s unbearably itchy!”

Yang Yun said: "The game type is a bit different from "The Expendables 1". The hot scenes in "The Expendables 1" are themed, gun battles, explosions, drag racing, none of the essential elements of Hollywood commercial films are missing! But in "The Expendables 1", you need to play stealth.

, playing combat strategy. Playing secret infiltration is equivalent to changing the style. Is this feasible? "

Cheng Long said: "Logically speaking, two different styles are not easy to make into a sequel, especially if the game and the movie complement each other, it is best to continue. Let me talk about the details first. A Kun is the screenwriter

, let’s listen together!”

Akun nodded slightly beside him. Yang Yun didn't care and took out a stack of plans. He opened the first few pages and said: "We have sorted out the game framework in the past two days, now we just rely on your background story."

A Kun and Cheng Long watched carefully together. Yang Yun supplemented the explanation and matched the level sketches he drew one by one. Soon, everyone understood what he was thinking.

The three people on Cheng Long's side pondered for a while, and Akun was the first to speak: "Mr. Yang, I remember that the biggest feature of the Dragon game is that it has many CG animations, a complete plot, and high continuity, right?"

Yang Yun nodded: "It's true that there are many CG animations, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the continuity is high. I personally feel that I can't connect The Expendables 1 and 2."

Akun laughed: "Why can't we connect it? Wouldn't it be enough to make the CG animation of each level into a hot scene in the movie? The game is about tactical details, and the movie will focus more on hot scenes!"

Cheng Long also came to his senses, patted Yang Yun on the shoulder and said: "Brother, this method works! We will do the exciting scenes in the movie, and the main plot will be completed in 2 hours. If fans want to dig deeper into the details of the characters, you can use

It can be experienced in the form of playing games, and a small number of shots that are not in the movie can be displayed through the game, so that the movie and the game are combined."

Yang Yun didn't know much about film shooting and asked doubtfully: "Is it really okay to do this? In 1, you are all all-rounders, gunners, gunners, etc., and you are all doing one-for-ten heroic tasks. In 2, it will change.

Is it really possible to become a team member who each has his or her own special skills, and change from being a hero to focusing on team strategy?"

Cheng Long laughed loudly: "If I say it will work, it will work! Leave it to me. The script will be given to you soon, but you have to modify a few characters for me."

Yang Yun did not agree immediately and asked: "How to modify it?"

Cheng Long and A Kun discussed in Cantonese for a while, and after coming to a conclusion, they said: "It's okay to give the beret to Stallone, and leave the driver to me. In addition, I want my little brother Li Lianjie to play the sniper, so

I hope you can add close combat skills to him."

The snipers in the original game are indeed a bit useless. They can only attack enemies on high platforms, but they dare not kill people at will, because not being able to deal with the corpses will attract more patrols, which is asking for trouble.

If you add close combat... Yang Yun saw a smile in Cheng Long's eyes. As expected, Cheng Long said: "I work alone in Hollywood, and I always feel a little weak. Li Lianlian is only 31 years old this year. Help him.

No matter what, it’s a good thing! If you think it will affect the balance of the game, then forget it!”

Yang Yun quickly waved his hand and said: "It's no problem for the sniper to increase his skills. As long as your movie can handle this problem, I don't care. It's best to support Li Lianlian. If it weren't for the characteristics of Hollywood commercial movies, it would be fine for all six of them to be Chinese!"

"

Everyone laughed. In The Expendables 1, there was only Cheng Long, and now in The Expendables 2, there is another Li Lianlian, and he is still paired with Stallone, the absolute protagonist. It only benefits their reputation and does not harm them!

Cheng Long continued: "In addition, I think there are many roles for Marine Corps sailors. I want to choose Bruce Willis. What do you think?"

Yang Yun's expression moved slightly: "Have you...ever heard of Jason Statham?"

Cheng Long looked at A Kun, who spread his hands. No one had heard of this person.

Before asking, Yang Yun thought it was inappropriate, so he didn't speak affirmatively because he had the impression that Jason Statham was very young, and he didn't know if he was now a registered actor in Hollywood.

Since this handsome guy hasn't appeared yet, let's unfortunately put it aside for now.

"Where are the sappers?"

Cheng Long laughed: "Can you leave a place for Arnold Schwarzenegger?"

Yang Yun burst out laughing: "Let the governor play the role of an engineer? Oh, that's not right!"

Now Schwarzenegger is not a governor, he is now a hot superstar in Hollywood, the male lead in the Terminator series, no less than Stallone!

"What governor?" Everyone was stunned.

Yang Yun quickly waved his hand to cover up his embarrassment.

"Oh my god! Brother, how many superstars are you going to invite? There are 6 people in total. Stallone will be a beret, you will be the driver, Schwarzenegger will be the engineer, Li Lianlian will be the sniper, Bruce Willi will be the sailor, and

Who will be the spy? Let the handsome guy Brad Pitt do it? Or let Nicolas Cage do it?" Yang Yun felt excited just thinking about it. These people can be the male lead in any movie, and now they form a team of 6 people

, that feeling, and the cost of the movie, do you want it to be so scary?

Cheng Long laughed loudly: "Brother! After our first movie "The Expendables 1" was released, do you know how many Hollywood male movie stars came to us to make an appointment for the second movie? It doesn't matter, we will choose people here first. As for whether we can get an appointment.

We’ll talk about the schedule when the time comes. I just feel like these people don’t seem to be enough, 6 is too few, and you forgot one thing, successful Hollywood action commercial movies must have female characters!”

Yang Yun opened the back of the plan and said proudly: "There are a few more characters! One is the liaison code-named 'Red Lips'. She is a beautiful and noble lady who is good at communication. She is responsible for spying on intelligence and delivering information.

Best choice! The other one is Codename'

Lendou's thief, short and sharp, as light as a swallow, an expert in lock picking. In fact, I think it would be more suitable for the role of the thief to be given to Li Lianjie. Then let John Travolta play the sniper. I like his new movie so much.

Pulp Fiction!"

Everyone laughed. Yang Yun just said that it was impossible to hire big-name celebrities. He added a few more roles and even selected the candidates for them...

After a roar of laughter, we finally reached an agreement and passed the decision to make the movie "The Expendables 2". The script was handed over to Cheng Long's company for finalization. The candidates were also separately invited by Cheng Long and Stallone, and they tried their best to choose big-name hard-core male stars.

In the end, Yang Yun couldn't help but add: "If you are really bad, help me find a guy named Jason Statham. That guy is so handsome! If he hasn't entered Hollywood yet, brother, you can

Sign him!"

It took a long time before everyone changed the topic to Tomb Raider.

Looking at the script handed over by Cheng Long, Yang Yun said embarrassedly in his heart: "I'm sorry, brother, for stealing your idea for the "Twelve Zodiac" movie 20 years later..."

How did Cheng Long know that such a thing happened? He said: "Julie is indeed a good actor. Although she is young, she has a high level of understanding. This is a movie script adapted from the game. Take a look first and Akun will help you.

Explanation. If there are no problems, we will shoot as soon as possible. Maybe after Tomb Raider is finished filming, we can continue filming The Expendables 2 after the New Year next year. I seem to have seen another blockbuster movie!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,
