Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Matthew Fox all looked in the direction of the camera lens with bright smiles on their faces.

"That's it, it looks so handsome now." The photographer Rex Mike, who was holding a camera over there, kept pressing the shutter, snapping shots, and said, "Jing Shi's eyes have become deeper." Be charming! And Yang, you make a gesture for framing photography, the index fingers and thumbs of both hands form a frame, okay "close your left eye..."

Wang Yang posed as he said, closed his left eye, and looked at the camera with his right eye through the frame of his hand, only to see the flash flicker again." There was a continuous clicking sound, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This is really true. Will it be handsome? It felt pretty silly. And now it's not a movie that promotes being handsome. ", Thinking of this, he put down his gestures, and said with a smile: "Hey, let's take some funny pictures, shall we?" "

The five of them are currently taking photos for the magazine's "Magic Yang and His Funny Legion". Although this exclusive interview is not a cover headline, it still occupies a large page in the first issue of the magazine." Do a good job in the first round of publicity.

"Okay!" Rex-Mike nodded, twirling with one hand, and said, "You all make funny faces, grimacing, sticking out your tongue...", "OK." The five of them They all responded with a smile." Each of them put on a funny pose. Zach, with disheveled hair and a bushy beard, stared at a pair of eyes, very basic with one hand on his hip, holding up his big belly in a white shirt; Bradley, with fluttering hair and obvious beard roots, scratched his head and made a thoughtful expression: Ed Helms opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and his eyebrows stood upright; Matthew Fox squinted his eyes and grumbled. Mouth.

Wang Yang thought for a while, then roared like a wild beast, and raised the middle finger of his right hand to the camera.

"No, no, Yang, you can't do this." Rexton let out a sudden laugh, let go of the camera in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile, "Your fingers are too bold and avant-garde, our magazine can't publish such an image of you will also be destroyed. "Zach and the others all laughed" and said, "It's cool!", "Oh well, I just think that's what happens when I'm drunk" and became crazy. "Wang Yang shrugged indifferently," but he doesn't think that a middle finger can ruin any image." And what is his image? He smiled and stretched out a fist to make a gesture of slapping the fat Zach's cheek next to him, with a look of He said wickedly: "Is this okay? ", Rex made a PK gesture," then bent slightly and raised the camera, aiming at them at the best angle, praised: "It's beautiful, let's start." With a click, the film Freeze this picture.

After taking photos in the studio, the five people came to the elegant reception room again to accept an exclusive interview on the text report. The black-haired female reporter Lianna Baker held a pen and a small notebook and looked at the five people sitting on the main red sofa. He asked with a smile, "Yang,

Why did you have the idea to make this film? Someone on the Internet took a picture of you playing with Tom Welling and Zachary Levi in ​​Las Vegas. Is that really you? "

"Haha!" Wang Yang rubbed his chin and laughed immediately. "Fortunately, those photos were taken by ordinary people with their mobile phones." It's not very clear." The child's "drinking thing" will definitely be attacked and condemned by some people and the media. But both he and Tom were well photographed and could not be denied.

The few of them have already passed their anger, and they freely admitted when asked, anyway, getting drunk is not a serious crime for adults, and they are considered normal in the photo. Wang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes" that was us "You know Tom was going to get married at that time, so some of us held a fraternity party for him, and then we went to Las Vegas to play.", Lian Na-Baker asked with a smile while transcribing: "So that's why this movie came into being? The story of four people going to Las Vegas to have fun? Is the content you are talking about real things you have done? ?” Zach, Bradley and the other four also looked at him with interest.

"No, haha, how is it possible? If that's the case, we will die." Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, took a sip of the tea served on the coffee table, and shrugged: "But some of them are true, such as drunk, The hotel room was a mess.", paused." He laughed again: "This movie is full of things that are a hundred times crazy. Maybe it will be like that when you are drunk, and you will do something in normal times. "Oh God Ah, yes, this is very interesting." Seeing Lian Na's ballpoint pen sliding quickly, he said solemnly: "Ma'am" don't write it wrong "This is definitely not true!" He said with a smile, Said: "Those guys are going to kill me."

Everyone laughed, and Lianna Baker asked with a curious smile: "Why do you continue to shoot super-movies? The funny side of the movie we are familiar with is a punchline, but now it seems that this movie Will it be a completely different type?"

Here it is again! Wang Yang spread his hands and said seriously: "I have answered this question several times." Lianna Baker interrupted with a raised hand and said with a smile: "That's because you always change the genre of movies, horror, song and dance, biography, Drama "sci-fi, now super-comedy. ", Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, and said, "I don't know, why am I restricted? I don't like to be limited. As long as the interest comes, I will try any genre, it may be good, it may be messed up, but I will try. "

"So this time it's a funny comedy." Baker remembered his words and asked again: "Will we see a lot of things that are not suitable for children in this movie? What's the difference?"

Wang Yang looked at the joyful faces of Zach and others from left to right, and said with a smile: "It's a super comedy, you should have seen it in the cinema, haha, there must be some things that are not suitable for children to watch, but in fact It’s not that serious.” It’s just that there will be a lot of swearing. Our goal is to use the word at the beginning more than the number of times.” The foursome and Lianna smiled again, and he continued: “As for the difference between it and These are two completely different types, they make you smile knowingly; they make you cramp.", "It seems that you are full of confidence." Lian Na couldn't help being aroused. She is also a fan of Fantastic Young. Asked with a smile: Then when can we see this movie? "Wang Yang smiled and said the scheduled release schedule: "This year's Christmas. "

Lianna nodded." Then she turned to look at Bradley and the other four, and said, "You have chosen Zach and the others as the leading actors this time, no intention of offending them, they are all strangers to the screen audience, it can be said that you chose them the reason? Can they act out what you say, cramp from laughing? "

Wang Yang looked very surprised, and said to Zach and others: "Oh, guys, someone actually questioned whether you are funny enough?"

The fat teacher, the dentist, and the bridegroom all looked at each other." He rolled up his sleeves with a smile, puffed out his chest, and said with a smile." Zach said, "If you have seen my talk show, you won't have this doubt. "I grew up laughing. Bradley said: "What?" Do you climb mountains? Ed said: "This question is like the Red Sox saying they want to win the championship." Matthew Fox said: "I recommend a set of funny TV series "Family of Five", which tells how I am funny." "

"OK, I see, ha, OK." Lianna Baker raised her hands and surrendered with a smile on her face, but the four of them kept talking. She rolled her eyes with a smile and said, "OK, you guys are really funny." Got it."

All five of them smiled in satisfaction before stopping. Wang Yang pressed the shoulders of Zach and Bradley next to him with a smile, and then replied: "There is no reason. Of course, the reason is that they are very suitable and excellent. I believe that everyone in here will be amused by these guys. We all I have this confidence." Zach, Bradley, Ed, and Matthew all nodded, saying: "Yes" we are ready. "

"Well, what about the other actors? As far as we know now" Charlize Theron and Michelle Rodriguez are all confirmed to join. "Lian Na smiled with some doubts" and said, "Why did you make this invitation? You know they are not comedians."

Wang Yang shrugged nonchalantly. As long as they are used properly, they can also be full of joy. The key is that they are willing to sacrifice their image to mock themselves. No matter male or female, every comedian is like this. The more crazy they are, the funny they will be! This will also be the only standard for everyone on the set. He smiled and said, "Lianna, everyone can be funny, and they are no exception."

A few days later," the latest issue of the magazine was put on the shelves, and this interview was also published. When talking about this upcoming performance invitation, Zach Galifianakis sighed: "I accepted that day. To his phone, unbelievable! I'm still wondering if there's another Zach Galifianakis? However, I have never met anyone with the same surname as me since I was a child, except my family members.

Bradley also said: "It's unbelievable, he said let me grow my hair and roots, and now I feel a lot handsomer." Ed Helms said: "It's unbelievable! This is really good news. My family and I are very happy until now." Matthew Falk Xiu said: "I am very happy and surprised, unbelievable."

In other interview reports, talking about joining this comedy, Charlize-Theron said: "He is an incredible young director, and all the actors are willing to work with him. He said, Charlize, you should try comedy." Already" Change your mind. , I was a little bit tired too, I couldn't breathe with all those heavy roles, so I said, okay, I'll try. ", Michelle-Rodriguez said to the media: "We are old friends, but to be honest, I never thought I would star in his movie, he likes the kind of sweet and beautiful girls. "She laughed a few times" and said: "So I thought he was joking with me at first" He said no. In fact, I still don't know what he wants to do. He said that the crazier the better, everyone should have fun. She smiled again, and said: "But a director like him invites you to act" All you have to do is say it, so as not to regret it later."

However, many media seem to disagree. No one pays attention to the unknown foursome. How is Michelle Rodriguez funny? The gossip tabloid "Entertainment Daily" commented: "Maybe this impromptu and crazy work by Miracle Yang will be hilarious: but most of them will become incompatible existences."

But not everyone is optimistic about this "crazy laughing" and "crazy and fun" super-comedy. Many film critics have expressed doubts: "What does Magic Yang want to play? He just went to Las Vegas He is also a humorous man, but is a word starting with a letter funny?" Jeffrey Weil wrote on XX's blog: "Johannesburg slums and Las Vegas" He can play both at the same time two places? I'd like to see! "

Movie fans don't care about so many, cited, afterward, warm films and comedies became popular, such as "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is creating a miracle at the box office; and now the magical director is going to play a purely commercial super comedy, fans only know I have to laugh again! It's already fun in the movie" but he just said it was "a knowing smile", so what kind of movie would "Cramp Laughing" be?

Kayla Brett, a die-hard fan of Fantastic Young, said excitedly on the blog: "I can see three of his films this year, one is the producer and the other is the director. It's so exciting!" Some celebrity friends also expressed their expectations on the blog , Natalie Portman: "I want to be a guest star, I will laugh to death!", Tom Welling: "That trip to Las Vegas was really interesting" I wonder "I, what will happen in it Sample?"

The time soon came to the beginning of March, and everything was prepared for the crew of "Advancing at Rapid Speed", and then the filming officially started. The production budget of this film is 25 million, and Wang Yang received 8 million from himself, which is very cheap.” He is very grateful to the partners of the company for trusting him, so this time the remuneration is only half of the market price.

The cameraman is Harry-George, this is also his first movie with the title of "photographer", and Walley Pfister is not hired because he wants to rest and spend time with his family" and it is not as funny as Fatty, whether it is Personality or appearance. Harry George, who is much fatter than Zach Galifianakis and has the same beard, has always been full of joy. This time he also has the task of making a cameo.

In addition to Harry, Wang Yang will also personally shoot some of the shots. The other members of the film crew are also based on the standard of being funny, and they can provide their own opinions on jokes at any time. In the midst of laughter" the crew completed all the work before the hangover in more than ten days. This shooting sequence was adopted because the presidential suite had to be re-set, and Ed Helms His lateral incisors were to be extracted.

It just so happened that the tooth was implanted by Ed when he was 15 years old, and it had to be pulled out 13 years later. "It can't be re-inserted until it's finalized.

Of course, to achieve the effect of tooth extraction, you can also use cosmetic prosthetics or CGD special effects to produce it, but neither of these is as realistic as direct extraction, and if so many shots are to be CGD, the cost will have to rise linearly." There is no need for this.

However, there will also be some shots in the movie that require post-production special effects. Adding some appropriate or exaggerated or spoof special effects can create a very funny atmosphere. Some mathematical characters based on the card counting principle appear, and there may also be a scrolling refresh window such as "$10000, $15000" that clearly wins in the upper right corner of the screen.

In the messily arranged presidential suite, rock music full of leaks is playing." Shaquille O'Neal, wearing a suit, vest and white shirt, sat in front of the piano, stood up singing, and moved with a flexible moonwalk. Moving towards the trio and the housekeeper in front, Zach, Bradley, and Ed, who were all dressed up in a mess and dusty, all looked dumbfounded." O'Neill, who came to them, shook his buttocks a few times, and then Doing the hip-lifting movement, he said in a stern voice: "Let's have some harmony" and dance together! "

Surrounding them were the film crew. Wang Yang looked with a happy smile on his face. The camera in his hand was facing O'Neill. On the right, Harry George, who was carrying a camera, was in charge of filming the shots of the trio. The lighting engineer, sound recorder Teachers are also doing their own work.

A comedian must know how to play, and play without scruples. On the set these days, what he said the most is: "Let go of yourself, let go of yourself! This is not a beauty contest, no one here has a shitty image, our image is funny, we want to be cheap, we want to be funny! "And O'Neill is a person who is very happy to play and amuse others. He hardly needs to talk about the play design." O'Neill performed himself to a hilarious effect.

"Hahahahaha" At this time, Zach Galifianakis couldn't help laughing out suddenly, and Bradley and Ed who were next to him also burst out laughing, and said again and again: "Sorry" Sorry..." This is not the direction of the script, but they laughed.

\u0026nbT! "Wang Yang shouted with a smile, and everyone in the presidential suite either chuckled or laughed loudly." O'Neill curled his lips and deliberately stuck out his fat buttocks, and everyone laughed even louder. Joshua, a loyal fan and a field assistant in the crew, laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand and rolled to the ground. Zach, who caused this laughter, laughed out of breath: "I'm sorry" but his ass, Oh my god...", "Everyone, if you want to laugh, laugh quickly" Laugh all at once! "Probably because of the herd effect caused by the surrounding atmosphere, Wang Yang couldn't stop laughing." Since the first shot was shot, there have been laughter scenes every day, almost more than UG want more. Everyone laughed for a while, and when the laughter died down, Wang Yang set up the camera and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start over from Shaquille's butt shaking and dialogue." Everyone stood up again When he got to his place, the prop master rewinded the song playing on the stereo to the appropriate time: After the recorder called out the serial number of the scene shot, Wang Yang called out: XX"

The music sounded in the room again, and O'Neill twisted his body and shook his buttocks, and said, "Let's have some harmony, let's dance together!" Zach, Bradley, and Ed all looked stupid, "Oh "Oh" in harmony, shaking his body casually. Just when O'Neill was about to perform the next move, Bradley suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Phil, are you okay?", "Phil, don't scare us!" Ed and the fat Zach, who had one tooth missing, couldn't help laughing, and hugged Bligh pretending to be serious. Deli. Joshua outside the court laughed and shouted: "Hey, he might be drunk!" O'Neill pointed to Bradley, who covered his mouth and smiled, and quietly said in the direction of the camera: "See? I compare They all have to be professional, and I should be the lead! Shaquille-O'Neal, "

\u0026nbā There are enough flocs, I guess they can engrave a few discs! Please, are you still filming? Come again! After laughing for a while, the calm people stood up again, and when they were ready, he laughed and said: "XX"

"Let's have some harmony, let's dance together!" O'Neill said while twisting his buttocks, and the trio suddenly said silly "Oh oh oh" while swaying in harmony, Zach tried to shake his butt. O'Neill was doing commanding movements, and said: "Let's have more harmony!" Just when the three of them smiled with interest and said "Oh oh oh", O'Neill, who was a lot taller than them and with a huge body, didn't care. He punched Zac ominously in the eye socket.

The fist hit the air, but Zach suddenly fell to the marble floor with a plop, his head down and motionless. Both Bradley and Ed exclaimed in astonishment, "Oh, my God! Oh, ****" What happened! O'Neill shook his hands fiercely, and looked at them without speaking.

\u0026nbT, very good! Zach, "Thank you for your hard work, but don't move anyone, don't laugh!", but Wang Yang himself laughed a few times, and everyone also chuckled with restraint. He laughed and said, "Let's take the next shot!" He stepped aside and asked Harry-George to walk in front of Zac's head to shoot at a parallel angle. When he was ready, he laughed and said, "XX!"

"Oh, Jesus, ****!", Bradley and Ed both looked shocked, and hurried up to check on Zach on the ground, shouting: "Alan, Alan..."
