The purpose is to let these Hollywood members recognize their own shortcomings, and wholeheartedly accept the members of Yuan Jiaban.

As for why Jason was chosen, there are also reasons.

First of all, Jason was a die-hard supporter of Zhang Dongcheng's subordinates a long time ago. The personal relationship between the two is very close. Let him be the villain, firstly, it will not appear abrupt, and secondly, it can also prevent other people from provoking members of the Yuan family class, resulting in unmanageable situations.

Secondly, when Yuan Heping was stretching Jason's ligaments, he made Jason cry in pain and shouted that he wanted to kill Yuan Heping. This also makes people think that it is normal for him to have conflicts with Yuan Heping.

Finally, Jason is the one who plays the most scenes, and he is the most convincing!

Now everything is going according to Zhang Dongcheng's script. Just such a small gimmick, besides wasting less than five minutes of film, perfectly resolved the contradictions of the crew.

"Let's go! Let's go back and start shooting again!" Zhang Dongcheng stood up with a smile, feeling like a big stone fell to the ground. He walked back to the set with easy steps.

After Zhang Dongcheng came back, those on the set who were dissatisfied with the members of Yuan's class before were all submissively obeying Yuan Heping's command, as if they had turned into obedient students.

Yuan Heping suddenly gained power, becoming the second only to Zhang Dongcheng in the crew! Of course, his rights are mainly concentrated in martial arts. The real power is still in the hands of Zhang Dongcheng.

As someone who knew all this a long time ago, Yuan Heping had already designed the tricks and routines in advance. Now he is familiar with the road and begins to direct.

After returning to the director's chair, Zhang Dongcheng re-arranged and arranged as a lighting engineer. The photographers returned to their positions one after another. After everything was ready, he held up the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Action!"

"Very good!" Morpheus made a gesture of closing his hands, and began to tell Neo about his shortcomings.

Nio's attack still swept Morpheus's cheek with a whip kick. The moment Morpheus lowered his head, he also kicked back.

In the shot from the top view, the two of them fought fiercely with fists and kicks. Although Jason's figure is much stronger than Keanu's, but in the movements designed by Yuan Heping, the two of them fully demonstrated the purpose of Wu Yusen's violent aesthetics!

Some exquisite movements aroused the amazement of the group of Hollywood members from time to time. For example, Morpheus suddenly approached and blocked Neo's heel with one foot. With a push with both hands, Neo flew upside down.

This martial arts combination of skill and strength is eye-opening. Many Hollywood members are like a diligent student, recording with pen and paper. Even Baldwin was holding a small notebook, writing and drawing from time to time, recording the wonderful moves between Neo and Murphy.

After the Wachowski brothers finished filming The Matrix, countless directors began to seek cooperation in Hong Kong's action director. It caused a wave of kung fu in Hollywood, but in the end this wave did not last long.

In addition to the national cultural protection policy issued by the US government, more importantly, Hong Kong martial arts masters have no defense against these Hollywood counterparts at all, and have taught some unique skills to them, and finally there is a scene where the apprentices of the church starve to death. .

After several years of prosperity in Hollywood, Hong Kong martial artists had to withdraw from the Hollywood stage sadly.

All of this, Zhang Dongcheng didn't know, neither did the martial artists in Hong Kong.

The plot continued to advance. After Morpheus threw Neo out, he suddenly soared into the air. In the case of hanging the wire, he suddenly rose four or five meters. This slow-motion shooting is extremely elegant.

A muscular man with a figure flying in the air, like a roc spreading its wings, fully embodies the beauty of strength.

After the slow motion, Morpheus bent his knees, flew fiercely, and smashed his knees to Neo on the ground.

Neo turned over and rolled to the side, dodging this well-known attack, the floor was smashed by Morpheus' knees, and a large broken pit appeared.

Of course, the floors here are all unique, otherwise, with Jason's current strength alone, although such a collision would definitely break the floor, his knees would be forgotten!

After this passage, Zhang Dongcheng inspected the shot on the other side and found that there were no flaws before announcing that the filming would continue.

In the entire Black Bottom Empire, most of the indoor scenes were filmed on the ship called Nebuchadnezzar in the movie. These all require specialized sets.

Zhang Dongcheng has already done it in advance. After filming the most exciting fighting scene in the martial arts hall, the next step is to shoot the shots inside the spaceship and some indoor scenes. As for the exterior scenes, Zhang Dongcheng plans to go to Sydney, Australia to shoot the scene.

The original filming location of The Matrix was located in Sydney, Australia. Of course, when the Wachowski brothers filmed, they chose the Fox film and television base only five kilometers away from Sydney. But this base was only established in 1998. Now there is not even a shadow at all.

Now it is still a typical Australian city performance exhibition square. Although it has not been bought by Fox, many of the scenes can be directly regarded as the scenery of The Matrix. Zhang Dongcheng had already investigated this point in advance.

After two days of busy shooting for the scene in the martial arts school, today is finally the last shot.

During the fierce fight, Morpheus suddenly grabbed Neo's arms and opened his mouth to order: "Come on! Don't hesitate! Hit me directly!"

In the next shot, Neo's movements suddenly accelerated countless times, and even when he swung his fist, phantoms appeared.

This section only needs to adjust the frame number of the lens during the editing process after the shooting is completed to create a ghostly effect. There is no need to waste the production time of special effects.

Neo's punch stopped at the tip of Morpheus' nose. Successfully won.

After resting for a while, there is only one last shot left in the entire martial arts hall. Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Dongcheng clapped his palms and said, "Everyone, please work hard. We finished the shooting in the martial arts hall today. We will start shooting the scenes inside the spaceship tomorrow!"

"OK!"

"Okay! Director Smith!"

After getting everyone's response. Jang Dong Sung shortened Keanu and Jason's rest time and started shooting the last set of shots again.

Neo's fist lands in front of Morpheus' cheek.

After everything was ready, Zhang Dongcheng ordered loudly: "Action!"

"I know what you want to do!" Neo's cheeks were obviously stained with sweat, and his hair fluttered messily in front of his forehead. Slowly withdrew his fist.

Morpheus looked at Neo with a stick-like look and said, "I want to liberate your soul! Neo!"

The camera returns to Neo's face. Morpheus continued: "I can't open that door! You have to walk through it yourself!"

Just when Neo showed a thoughtful expression, Morpheus suddenly raised his head and said to the ceiling: "Tank! Load the jump program!"

"Cut!" Zhang Dongcheng stood up suddenly, and said, "It's perfect. The martial arts scene is over, everyone pack up and go back to rest. Tomorrow we will start shooting the shots inside the spaceship!"

Zhang Dongcheng's initial press conference attracted the attention of countless reporters. The end of the martial arts scene also made these reporters eager to obtain first-hand information like sharks smelling fishy.

Since the death of Bruce Lee, movies with Chinese Kung Fu elements seem to have declined in an instant.

Afterwards, many directors sought Dongfang’s cooperation as an action director, but without exception, all of these people’s works ended in dismal results.

It seems to prove that this model will not be successful. With the death of Bruce Lee, the Kung Fu movie has completely become an absolute hit.

But the one who chooses this approach now is Zhang Dongcheng, a commercial director who is in the limelight. Did Zhang Dongcheng really not know about these situations? Or is it that he has an unknown idea?

Knowing that these reporters are waiting to see his jokes, Zhang Dongcheng certainly will not let go of such a good publicity opportunity.

Early the next morning, when the crew members left the martial arts hall, they were surrounded by a large number of reporters. These reporters are all here to inquire about martial arts instruction.

Although at the opening press conference before, Zhang Dongcheng vowed that there was no contradiction in the crew.

But few people believed these words at all. And in the Los Angeles media news newspaper, there was a headline about the Chinese director Smith, who would not admit defeat. Unscrupulously mocking Zhang Dongcheng.

Now that part of the action scenes have been filmed, I believe we can definitely know what these Hong Kong action directors are worthy of Zhang Dongcheng's expectations.

"Hey! Sir, hello, are you a member of the Matrix crew?" A young reporter stopped Baldwin's way.

With a radiant smile on his face, Baldwin said in a pompous manner: "That's right, I used to be the action director of the Matrix crew, and I'm currently in charge of the drama. May I ask who you are?"

Having been interviewed by a reporter before, how could Baldwin fail to see that the young man in front of him was a reporter, and his question was just to check his identity. Of course, this guy with a very strong vanity actually has no identity at all.

"Oh! God! So you used to be the action director of the Matrix crew. Hello! I am a reporter from Los Angeles Media News, and my name is Swinton!" The young man made a flattered expression, and said: "Mr. Birdwin, I wonder if I can delay you for a few minutes and give you a short interview?"

"Of course!" Baldwin nodded immediately, but deliberately showed a embarrassed expression, and said, "But I hope you can hurry up as much as possible, because we are going to the next location to shoot other shots today. You know, this Director Smith takes it very seriously. He won't allow us to be late!"
