Now, Yi Feiyang has unexpectedly been joined by future action star Jason Statham. It can be said that he picked up a treasure along the way and will make the drama "300" even more exciting and outstanding.
After all the actors and scripts were finalized, Yi Feiyang began to make detailed shooting plans. First, as the director, he told all the actors that what appeared in the camera should be bodybuilding champions, not white-faced youngsters. In order to encourage the actors to work hard to get in shape, Yi Feiyang decided to
People made T-shirts that read "I died at the Battle of Thermopylae." However, some actors who were tired of working out secretly said, "It's easier to die happily than to exercise like crazy every day."
In terms of costumes, Yi Feiyang believed that the costumes in previous movies with this theme would make the tragic and heroic Spartan warriors look like the Turtle Legion, so he changed the costumes of the characters here. According to the actors' interviews, the Spartan king and the
His men were wearing scarlet shirts, with their muscular bodies half naked. Those shirts looked like Speedo swimming trunks made of leather armor.
According to Yi Feiyang, in ancient Greek themes, the characters are usually naked; for the same artistic consideration, I stripped off the soldiers' clothes.
Seven days later, everything was ready, and Yi Feiyang officially announced that "300" will start filming tomorrow!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted a large number of media from Hollywood. Everyone was waiting to interview and report on this event.
The next day, the opening ceremony was overcrowded. Looking around, there was a sea of people.
According to tradition, Yi Feiyang held a power-on ceremony, roasting suckling pig, Guan Er Ge, offering incense, bowing... After a series of activities, those who are familiar with the process of this activity are still used to it. Those who saw "power-on worship for the first time"
” and kept shouting “My-God!”
It seems that this ritual that Yi Feiyang inherited from Hong Kong surprised them.
After worshiping God, I answered questions from reporters.
On the simple podium, Yi Feiyang and the crew members were sitting together. Mel Gibson was wearing sunglasses, arms folded, serious about words, and full of big names. Bill Clinton was wearing a baseball cap and waving to the fans frequently. A pair of
His friendly demeanor is very popular. In addition, there is also Stormi, who plays the leading role of Queen of Sparta. She is still charming and charming, and the old Max, who plays the high priest, is full of energy and has a "jigsaw" energy.
As for Jason Statham, who plays General Thain, he also appeared in the seat as a highlight, but it was the first time for him to see such a start-up formation. Even though he had been an athlete before, he was a little nervous now and kept looking at him.
Say hello to the people below...
On both sides of them stood Spartan warriors in costumes holding swords and spears. Each of them had a toned figure and bulging muscles. They wore shorts and exposed their chests. Their appearance was definitely that of a bunker!
Those media reporters have never seen such a battle, especially the female reporters. They pointed their cameras at these macho men and took pictures. God, it’s great. It’s a welfare. It’s better than going to a bar to watch strippers dance.
Even more fun!
Seeing the chaos around him, Yi Feiyang asked someone to maintain order at the scene. After everyone calmed down, Yi Feiyang said: "Good afternoon, friends from the media. Today is my new play "300 Spartans"
Turn on, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask..."
For many movies, the opening ceremony is actually a disguised form of publicity. The more the media digs into the movie, it will only be good for the movie's future release, and there will be no harm!
The first person to ask the question was a black reporter from the Los Angeles Times. The question was a bit sharp, "Mr. Yi, do you have a special meaning in choosing to film such a drama during your comeback?"
"The moral? Of course there is!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile, "A great writer in our country once said that a true warrior dares to face life head-on! So I want to declare war on those who don't like me, yes, it is a declaration of war!
I want to tell them that I am fearless, I am a Spartan warrior, and I accept any challenge from them! Yes, I am Chinese! I am proud to be Chinese! Come on, storm! Come on, thunderbolt and lightning!
I accept your baptism! Long live the warrior! Long live the justice!"
Yi Feiyang's shout alarmed everyone.
I originally thought that after being assassinated, Yi Feiyang would become more low-key and conservative, but I didn't expect that this guy would be so belligerent, so fearless, and his belief in adhering to principles would not loosen at all.
The black reporter raised his hand and asked again: "You mean, your play is a challenge to racists?"
"You can say that!" Yi Feiyang said without hesitation, "In my opinion, those extremists are like the inflated and selfish Persian Empire. They thought they were great, but they were defeated miserably at Hot Spring Pass. I just want to teach them a lesson.
!”
"So when is your movie expected to be released?" Another reporter asked Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "If nothing happens, this drama will be released during the summer vacation this year!"
One of the reporters couldn't help but said: "Dear Yi, did you know that New Line Cinema will release "The Lord of the Rings" during the summer vacation, and Warner Bros. will release "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"
?”
"I know this." Yi Feiyang said easily.
"Then do you know that these two plays are adapted from novels of the same name?"
"I know this too."
"So these two novels have thousands of loyal fans, you know?"
Yi Feiyang shrugged, "I know what you want to say, man... Do you think that by choosing to go head-to-head with these two blockbusters in the Christmas season, I am seeking death by striking an egg with a rock?"
The reporter nodded. It is undeniable that many people think so.
Just think about it, no matter "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter" have countless fans, and they are big productions that cost hundreds of millions, there are almost no movies that dare to compete with them in the Christmas season. For a long time, everyone thought that they would only
It was a duel between New Line and Warner, but I didn't expect Yi Feiyang to join in and want to stage the Three Kingdoms...
But is this possible?!
"300", a "low-cost" production of just over 20 million, wants to compete with the two giants "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". Isn't it courting death?
Although you are very awesome, miracles don’t just happen!
Although you, China Yi, are legendary, legends cannot be created casually!
Therefore, everyone is not optimistic about Yi Feiyang and his drama. They think that this "Sparta" will definitely become the most pitiful cannon fodder in this summer vacation!
Alas, I was originally looking forward to China Yi's comeback, but I didn't expect that he was tired of life and actually committed suicide!
Look, China Yi is going to completely lose this Christmas season!
…
Looking at the expressions of these media reporters, Yi Feiyang knew that everyone was not optimistic about him, and it was clearly written on his face, "No one can stop you if you want to die." However, for Yi Feiyang, he was too lazy to pay attention to these people. Facts can prove everything.
, even if you really failed this time, then at least you have tried. You will never regret it!
During the opening ceremony, another five or six minutes passed. After explaining his filming concepts and intentions for the film, Yi Feiyang announced the cast of the film to the media.
Mel Gibson as: Leonid, King of Sparta
Bill Clinton as: Persian Emperor Xerxes
Jason Statham as General Thane
Stormi as: Queen Gurgo of Sparta
Max plays: High Priest Cyrus
…
After the cast was announced, major media asked individual questions about the actors.
First of all, the media focused on Bill Clinton, who played the villain.
You know, this time Clinton actually adopted a "go all out" attitude. Xerxes, who plays the role in this play, is big news in itself.
"Mr. Clinton, why do you want to take on this movie? Aren't you afraid of affecting the personal image you have established?" a white reporter asked on tiptoes.
Clinton didn't expect that he would be so "popular". Everyone wanted to interview him, and no one paid attention to Mel Gibson, the big-name star around him.
At that moment, Clinton felt that he had made the right choice to play this role. Look, his efforts were rewarded with such a warm interview.
"How should I put it? The reason why I chose this role regardless of the image was because I was attracted by the character Xerxes in the script. As we all know, in many ancient Greek histories, Xerxes was a great demon-like tyrant.
Extravagant, lewd, and cold-blooded. As an invader, he is almost a typical villain. But we must see another point, that is, Xerxes is a human being. He is a living person of flesh and blood, a figure outlined in history.
There is almost no personal emotion at all, so those are all fictional and untrue, and I just want to restore a real Persian Emperor Xerxes. In a word from a famous historian, even a man like Nero
The Roman tyrant also has his cuteness! So I chose this role to restore a real flesh-and-blood Xerxes!"
Clinton said this because he had done his homework. As he said, he looked through the historical records of Xerxes and discovered that this famous Persian tyrant emperor was actually an extremely emotional emperor who liked to write
Poetry, like philosophy and literature, and even famously compiled the first collection of Persian poetry in Persian history. In Iranian historical records, Xerxes is a tall heroic image, pioneering territories and excelling, although his methods are occasionally harsh.
Some of them reflect the style of an emperor.
After reading this, Clinton felt a little confused and asked himself, is Xerxes a hero or a tyrant? A villain or a hero?
After some thought, Clinton decided that no matter what, he wanted to act as an emperor with flesh and blood and emotions instead of a model tyrant.
In fact, ever since Clinton had this idea, the film "300" that Yi Feiyang was preparing to shoot has been fundamentally different from the movie adapted from comics in his previous life, or in other words, it has a higher artistic conception.
several levels.
Now, facing reporters' questioning, Clinton spoke out all his thoughts and ideas, which immediately aroused great interest from these reporters.
The former US president, who is famous for the Lewinsky sex scandal, wants to overturn the conviction of a famous Persian tyrant in history. This is huge news in itself!
Seeing these gossip reporters only asking questions about Clinton, the big star Mel Gibson, who has always been arrogant and arrogant and does not put other people in his eyes, is not happy.
Although Clinton is the president, that is the past tense, and now he is just an ordinary person. Compared with himself, he should be more famous in Hollywood, but these bird reporters are chasing him with questions.
God, it’s so disrespectful for people to take care of themselves!
No, I can't just sit back and wait for death. I must find a way to steal the limelight, otherwise others will think that I can't defeat a mere former president!
Mel Gibson kept thinking about it, and the everlasting competitive mentality in the entertainment industry emerged spontaneously!
