There are many good actors in this world, and Will Smith is undoubtedly one of them. As an entertainment tyrant, Yi Feiyang has always been most disgusted with others interfering or violating his own filming orders when filming, but this time he surrendered unconditionally.
He gave the power to shape the character of "Garner" to Will Smith himself. Yi Feiyang didn't know what the result would be, or whether the film would be different from his previous life, but he knew one thing very well, that is,
I never did anything wrong!
As a black actor in Hollywood, Will Smith was freed from the "shackles" of director Yi Feiyang. Like a tiger out of its cage, he began to roar out his majesty and gave full play to his strength in the subsequent filming process.
, the grasp and control of the characters are astonishing, and Yi Feiyang can’t help but praise him. Even photographer Cindy and others are full of praise.
Will Smith's extraordinary performance also affected the other actors around him, making the entire crew feel like they were pumped and full of energy.
Let me talk a little bit about the cute little actor Jaden. Although this five-year-old child is acting for the first time, he seems to have inherited his father’s acting genes. He acts vividly in front of the camera, making people marvel at his “first-rate acting skills”.
"Yes, the cute little Jaden did not give Yi Feiyang any embarrassment at all. Except for the occasional N-camera, when the little guy pouted and lost his temper and stopped performing, as long as the lollipop flashed in front of his eyes, everything would happen immediately.
solve.
The little guy was so smart that he inevitably attracted people's love, so he became the pistachio and the baby of the entire crew. The uncles and aunts kept kissing him. But the little guy is picky, so you can kiss him if you want.
If you have a beard, you don’t want it, because it makes your face hurt. If you have a sweaty odor, you don’t want it. The little guy has to take a bath every day. A beautiful aunt is a must. It would be even better if she had a better figure...
As the filming progressed to the fifth day, the entire crew had become very harmonious. At this time, the crew welcomed the biggest big-name actor besides Will Smith, who is the former President of the United States--Bill Clinton!
The reason why Clinton joined the crew so late was mainly because he was "busy". As for what he will be busy with after leaving office, in addition to giving speeches, doing interviews, and planning to publish his autobiography, of course he is being a "househusband". Accurately.
He said he was the housewife behind his wife Hillary. Now, his wife Hillary has begun to lag behind the political arena and her morale is so high that people call her the "Iron Lady" behind her back. Clinton, a good husband, has no choice but to support her behind his back.
Cheer up and work hard to do what your wife used to do for you.
Of course, Clinton had some face issues for joining the crew so late. After all, only those who can be late at will are considered famous. Those who can join the filming late are even more famous.
But for Yi Feiyang, the reason for allowing Clinton to come over so late for filming is very simple. He didn't have many scenes in the previous filming, and it didn't matter whether he came or not. But now, his home scene is here, and the filming can no longer be delayed.
Clinton got out of the car wearing sunglasses. Although he was not the president now and could not hug each other and had bodyguards to protect him, it was still very grand, with a driver, two assistants, and a nanny.
As soon as he got out of the car, the assistant immediately opened the prepared parasol, then set up a chair for Clinton to sit down. Another assistant handed over the script, and the nanny made coffee... I knew he was here for filming, but I didn't know
I thought he was on vacation.
"Hi, Yi, I think this character can be better modified. For example, my temperament is more elegant and elegant. I can put a Parker pen in my jacket pocket... Of course, if it is a gold pen, the effect will be better.
; In addition, my character’s background is a lawyer, and later changed his career to a stockbroker, so I can use flashbacks to show his past life experiences..."
Clinton was talking freely, and the two of them had an illusion that this was still the president! No, to be precise, he was the director!
Yi Feiyang rolled his eyes. He really didn't understand how Clinton could feel so good about himself.
Kao, what we filmed is Happiness Knocks on the Door, not a bloody story unknown to the public.
"Ahem. Maybe you don't understand the situation yet, man." Yi Feiyang said.
"We have filmed the key parts of this drama, yes, it is very critical! So we cannot significantly modify the script and content, that's it, so please change your costumes immediately and start filming!" Yi Feiyang's tone left no room for doubt.
Clinton was stunned for a long time before saying: "Okay, man, since I am an actor, I will definitely play my role well!"
…
In the original version of "The Pursuit of Happiness", Martin's role did not have too many roles, but in order to cater to Clinton's desire to perform, Yi Feiyang added some more roles to him, making the character more flesh-and-blood, plump and solid.
The next scene to be filmed was a conversation between Will Smith and Martin who was drinking coffee in a cafe.
The actors are all in position and the cameras are ready.
Director Yi Feiyang stood behind the camera, holding a microphone, and waved his hand: "God Ike!"
The shooting officially started.
At the scene, in the cafe, people were talking softly around, and several men in suits were smoking, and the smoke was filling the air.
Not even a minute after the camera was turned on, a group of motorcycles buzzed in from outside. The sound engineer frowned. As the director, Yi Feiyang immediately shouted "Stop", "What the hell? Why is it so noisy outside?"
"Let me go take a look, director!" The assistant beside Yi Feiyang ran out, and then saw him negotiating with a group of people riding motorcycles outside.
It turns out that this gang of people is a local speedster gang. They like to hang around nearby. They don’t have much to make a living, so they do small things like extortion. Of course, for them, blackmailing the crew of the filming is the best thing.
, because they have had many successful experiences before. In order to catch up with the show, the crew would often hand over part of the money reluctantly, and the big thing turned into a trivial matter. This time, these guys repeated their tricks. Seeing Yi Feiyang
They were filming here so they came over and actively made noise, making it impossible for them to film.
Some people here may want to ask, do the police just ignore these people? The reason is that they can’t control them. It’s okay to lock them up once, but it’s too troublesome to lock them up three or five times in a row, so they just turn a blind eye.
Yi Feiyang's assistant didn't seem to be very successful in negotiating. The speedsters didn't give him face. They were still twisting the accelerator arrogantly, and the motorcycles were buzzing.
Just when the assistant was at a loss and the bikers were feeling triumphant, a trash can suddenly hit him. A biker who was showing off his power was smashed into a motorcycle and was covered in garbage.
"Oh, damn!"
"Oh, God!" Then a Chinese man with an angry face came over.
"Do you want to charge money? Okay, here is five hundred yuan. Take the money and get out of here!" Yi Feiyang threw the five hundred yuan on the ground and said angrily.
The leader of the motorcycle gang is a black man. He is very dissatisfied that Yi Feiyang stole his limelight and injured his younger brother. He laughed sinisterly and said: "Five hundred yuan? Are you asking for food? Damn it, you injured my brother. At least.
Thirty thousand yuan, yes, a must!”
"Ho ho! Ho ho!" roared the gang of gangster gangsters around them.
Yi Feiyang smiled, very strangely.
Anyone who knows him will know that this is Yi Feiyang's signature face-changing smile. As long as he smiles, someone will be unlucky.
It was indeed true. The moment Yi Feiyang's smile condensed, he flew up and kicked the arrogant and domineering black boss out of the motorcycle.
"Wow!" Everyone was shocked.
"Damn, you don't know how to show appreciation! I gave you five hundred yuan and you didn't want it. Isn't it cool to give you a big kick?!" Yi Feiyang said ruthlessly.
Seeing the big black man being kicked to death, everyone was dumbfounded.
The assistant next to Yi Feiyang said, "What should we do? Director, these people are not to be messed with. They will come back to cause trouble."
"Then let them come back. If you don't believe me, I won't be able to kick a few of them to death!" Yi Feiyang's cold face and ruthlessness directly silenced the gang of speedsters. The few who originally wanted to shout to avenge the boss also shut up.
"Call the police station, these people will come and arrest them one by one!" Yi Feiyang said, "Tell the chief, that's what I said!" After saying that, Yi Feiyang turned around and walked in.
Outside, the gang of speedsters finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Wow, who is he? He is so arrogant?"
"Yeah, he looks very arrogant, and he even comes to catch one by one. His tone is quite loud!"
"Shh, be careful, don't let me hear you!" said a man with earrings who seemed to know the inside story.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Who is he?"
The earring man had to reveal the inside story: "He is the great director Yi Feiyang!"
"Ah, it's him?! No wonder!" Everyone lost their confidence.
You know, Yi Feiyang's reputation is very loud, especially his energy in the film, business and political circles, which should not be underestimated.
When we were doing the premiere in a Chicago jail, how could we have done it if we were not familiar with the police bastards? And in Los Angeles, anyone with a little bit of intelligence and information would know that this guy is very close to the government gang.
, especially have a close relationship with the mayor of Los Angeles. It is said that they are brothers and have a fierce fight with each other.
How could you provoke such a person?
Damn it! The boss of the speedster gang who just got up is so upset!
…
In the cafe, Yi Feiyang calmed down his emotions so that everyone would not be affected by the outside world, and immediately got ready for the shooting to begin.
The camera rustled and moved along the track.
Inside the lens:
The protagonist "Ganad" led his son into the coffee shop, and then arranged for his son to sit on a corner. Because he had no money, he could only order a very cheap set meal. However, his son ate with gusto.
After a moment, Gardner realized that the person sitting in front of him seemed to be the rich man who had just driven the sports car. He took the initiative to "say hello". As a salesman, a black man who had done countless jobs, greeting strangers had become his professional habit.
.
The camera turned, and Martin, played by Clinton, was leisurely drinking delicious coffee and smoking a cigar in a high profile.
"Hi there!" said Gardner.
"Well, hello." Martin looked at this uninvited guest in confusion.
"Haha, I know I'm sorry to disturb you suddenly, but... you seem to be the gentleman who used to live above me." Gardner lied.
"Do we live in the same apartment?" Martin wondered.
"Oh yes, maybe you are too busy. You don't remember me. Hi. This is my business card. My name is Gardner."
Martin had no choice but to accept the business card, "My name is Martin."
"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Martin... That beautiful sports car outside belongs to you, right? I saw it outside the apartment." In fact, Gardner just saw Martin driving his car in front of the cafe.
"Oh yes." Martin's doubts disappeared.
"Haha, I just said that we are neighbors, otherwise how would I know your car." Gardner began to chat enthusiastically.
In this scene, Will Smith used his acting skills to the fullest, portraying a sociable black man who is always looking for opportunities. Especially his extremely friendly smile, and the occasional small social gestures, such as scratching his hair with his fingers, and
Snapping the fingers, etc., all bring out the flexibility and intelligence of "Gander".
In comparison, "Mr. Martin" played by Clinton can only be regarded as "fair".
The filming of this scene went quite smoothly. After Yi Feiyang stopped, he slightly corrected the layout of the surrounding scenes, then found Clinton and told him the key content of the next scene.
Clinton listened absently. In his opinion, he had already read the script. Even the president himself had done it, so why couldn't he play a small role well?!
"Okay, Yi, don't say any more, I can play the role well. Just watch it!"
"Okay, everyone, get ready. Everyone is in position..." After everything around him was ready, Yi Feiyang took the trumpet and shouted: "God Ike!"
Filming begins.
In the camera, Gardner and Martin continue to have a conversation.
Gardner: "Haha, if you can afford to drive such an expensive sports car, your career must be very good, right?"
Martin shrugged: "You could say that."
Gardner: "Are you a banker, real estate developer, or lawyer?"
Martin: "Lawyer? I used to be one, but I resigned now."
Gardner: "Resign? You quit such a good job?"
The expression in the camera is full of incredible.
Martin: "Yeah, man, because I have to seize better opportunities...otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive such an expensive car!"
Close-up, grabbing a napkin and wiping his mouth.
Gardner cheered up, "I don't quite understand, man... I mean, what kind of profession can make you give up such a good future as a lawyer?"
Martin: "Simple, because of money!"
Originally, his acting was okay, but after Clinton said this line, he couldn't help but yawn, a yawn that was not in the script, a yawn that was caused by sleepiness from watching a boxing match last night!
…
Suddenly, "CUT! Bill Clinton, what are you playing? The uncle basking in the sun on the street? Or the aunt selling newspapers?! What are you yawning? Are you tired? Are you sleepy? You speak softly and have no momentum at all!
Remember, you are a man, a man with a successful career and high spirits, not a useless bitch!" Yi Feiyang roared loudly, looking at Clinton angrily.
Clinton was dumbfounded, stunned, and asked Will next to him, "Ahem, is he talking about me?"
It’s hard to believe that China Yi dared to criticize itself so harshly.
"It seems there is no one else but you." Will shrugged.
Clinton, who thought that his shamelessness had reached the level of an iron wall, suddenly turned red.
Damn, that’s so disrespectful!
Looking at the others, they were also frightened by Yi Feiyang's sudden outburst of temper. When they came to their senses, they were awesome. Even the former president dared to scold him. He was indeed a tyrant!
In fact, Yi Feiyang couldn't help it anymore. This Clinton was too famous, and the filming was too artificial. He couldn't do it without training, no matter who you are!
Seeing the confused eyes of all the staff, Yi Feiyang slowly walked to the center of the venue, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "What is an actor? You must comply with three conditions! First..."
Yi Feiyang raised a finger, "You can't be late and leave early and act like a big star! Second, you can't be careless and passive! Third, you must read the script well and play the role well! Ask yourselves, have you done it?!" Yi Feiyang
Although the voice was shouting at everyone, his eyes were directed at Clinton.
Clinton always has no face. I heard before that Yi Feiyang was a tyrant during the filming, and his fiery temper was completely different from usual. Now I understand it deeply.
"Ahem, I'm sorry for China Yi, oh no, I'm sorry for the director..." Clinton finally faced the authority of director Yi Feiyang at this moment, "I was a little... a little sleepy just now. I watched the boxing match too late last night, so I
…”
"I don't need any explanation!" Yi Feiyang roared.
"Okay. No explanation, no explanation!" Clinton stood awkwardly, his previous airs gone. Now he was just a newcomer being scolded by the director.
"I hope that no matter who you are, as long as you stand here and stand on the set, you will realize that you are an actor! Acting is your profession. It is your job! Don't make any excuses! If you can't make a show, you are derelict in your duty! Acting
If it’s not good, go home and take care of the kids!”
Faced with Yi Feiyang's loud curses, our former president's integrity was shattered to pieces.
Vaguely, Clinton was no longer in the mood for acting for fun, but began to take his career seriously. Did he really want to become an actor?!
…
"Everyone, get ready, God Ike!" Yi Feiyang stood behind the camera, waving his hand like a general.
In the camera, Will plays Gardner and Clinton plays Martin.
Gardner: "Are you a banker, real estate developer, or lawyer?"
Martin: "Lawyer? I used to be one, but I resigned now."
Gardner: "Resign? You quit such a good job?"
Martin: "Yeah, man. Because I have to seize better opportunities...otherwise I wouldn't be able to drive such an expensive car!"
Close-up, grabbing a napkin and wiping his mouth.
Gardner: "I don't quite understand. Man...I mean, what kind of profession can make you give up such a good future as a lawyer?"
Martin: "Simple, because of money!"
Seeing that Ganard was confused, Martin proudly explained: "Man, you have to remember that money can not only bring you a better life, more exquisite food, better cars, and more beautiful girls, but it can also bring you
Become a better person! You can be generous to your church, or the political party you support, and the money can even save the endangered spotted owl..."
In the camera, Martin, played by Clinton, talks eloquently, and both his tone and demeanor are full of confidence and preaching.
The lines in this scene are not from the original version of "The Pursuit of Happiness" in the previous life, but Yi Feiyang borrowed them from "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
In the play "The Wolf of Wall Street", there is a scene where Jordan, played by DiCaprio, meets his future assistant salesman Donnie in a coffee shop. Then Donnie is shocked by the speed at which Jordan makes money and quits his job to become him.
's follower.
The scene played by Will Smith and Clinton is a clip that Yi Feiyang borrowed from "The Wolf of Wall Street". Because Yi Feiyang believes that this scene can better inspire the male protagonist's ambition to get rich and achieve success.
The camera rustled and the lens turned.
Gardner: "Hey man, you said all that, so... what do you do?"
Martin elegantly took out his business card and handed it over.
Close-up, Gardner takes a closer look and turns out to be a stockbroker.
After figuring out the other party's identity, Ganard said: "Forgive me for asking, how much money can you make in a month?"
Martin tapped the table with his finger, "Twenty thousand dollars."
Gardner looked in disbelief, "Are you kidding me, man?"
Martin: "Oh no, 20,400 to be exact, yes, if you don't pay those damn taxes!"
Gardner was inexplicably surprised, "Oh God! Oh God!" His expression was a little excited, "Is everything you said true? If so, I would rather shine your leather shoes for the rest of my life!"
Martin shrugged: "It seems like you don't quite believe me. I happen to have a money order here..." and handed it to Gardner.
Gardner's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned by the numbers above.
After a moment, he asked Martin in a dreamy tone: "Dear Mr. Martin, can you tell me what I can do to be like you?!"
…
"CUT! Wonderful! Very wonderful!" Yi Feiyang said loudly. "Your performance is really great!"
Everyone nearby also applauded, because Will and Clinton acted so passionately and wonderfully as the leading actors, which made the people watching it extremely enjoyable.
Seeing Yi Feiyang say this, Will and Clinton finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really difficult to be recognized by the tyrant in front of them.
As a director, how could Yi Feiyang know that someone was whispering to him?
He was busy watching the playback of the shooting footage, and then discussing with photographer Cindy how to adjust and modify it.
Here, a Land Rover drove over. The fat man Gao Jiabao got out of the car and tidied his hair coquettishly in front of the rearview mirror. Then he walked up to Yi Feiyang and said, "Ayang, don't be busy.
Okay, let me tell you something important."
"What's the matter?" Yi Feiyang asked without looking back.
The fat man lowered his voice and looked around furtively, "I received news that Colombia sent people over to monitor our filming progress..."
"Oh, really?" Yi Feiyang still didn't look back.
The fat man waited for Yi Feiyang to question him further, but the other party remained silent. Feeling bored, he thought to himself: "Then do you think we should treat the other person the same way he did, and also send a spy there?"
Yi Feiyang turned back and looked at the fat man: "You have nothing to do, right?"
"No, I'm very busy..."
"Since we are very busy, don't do these messy things. If they want to monitor us, let them monitor us. As long as we film the show ourselves!"
The fat man was very embarrassed. He originally came here to report the news, but he didn't expect to be scolded.
"But... our drama is in the ring with them. What if they do something wrong?"
"Then wait until they are up to something!" Yi Feiyang continued to watch the replay without looking back.
A gust of wind blew by.
The fat man felt chilly.
"Then there's one more thing, do you want to hear it?"
"Say---!" Yi Feiyang spat out one word.
"The adult film "Pirates of the Caribbean" directed by Bill won an award at the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival, and it was the grand prize!"
Yi Feiyang, who was busy watching the replays, heard this and turned around suddenly, "What? Are you telling the truth?"
The fat man nodded solemnly, "That's right!"
Yi Feiyang then clapped his hands and laughed, "Bill, this guy is very good!"
