After all the auditions in the afternoon, Xiao Yao, Mu Ying and Zhao Rui bid farewell to Kate McCann and Zhou Jingyi. Although Zhou Jingyi has confirmed that she will play in the film, she doesn''t live with Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui. Muying wants to send Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui back to their apartment, so naturally they have to separate.


    "Old wood, you have a premeditation, don''t you?" On the way back to the apartment, Xiao Yao can''t help asking Mu Ying.


    It can be seen from Xiao Yao''s absence of opposition to muyingla''s advertising placement and sponsors that the film is a pure commercial film. In the early stage of preparation, Xiao Yao planned to release the film all over the world, naturally taking into account the market factors. To film in the United States and shoot in the United States, using American staff is an embodiment of this factor. Another more important embodiment is the choice of movie actors.


    In the choice of actors in the film, Xiao Yao wants to fully reflect the internationalization. This kind of internationalization is not only for the supporting role, but also for the leading role. The protagonist of the film is a seven person Parkour team. The Chinese male characters of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei are the three most important protagonists in the film, which has been determined for a long time.


    Generally speaking, films with Chinese characters as the leading role, especially commercial films, are not very popular in European and American countries. However, because the three of them are the founding team of parkour, they have different positions in the hearts of Parkour fans all over the world, and the target audience of this film is mainly Parkour fans, so the setting of these three roles is ignored It''s out of the scope of internationalization.


    In addition to Xiao Yao''s three roles, there are still four roles left in the starring seven person team. These four characters, Xiao Yao, were set as four young people with different skin color when they wrote the script. In addition, parkour is not a sport exclusively for boys. Girls can also play it, so one of the remaining four roles is a girl.


    Four young people with different skin color are white, black, Asian yellow and Latino. In the early stage of the script writing, Mu Ying suggested that the female role should be set as Asian yellow. Besides the three of them, the female role is the most attractive. It should be the most appropriate to set this role as Asian, because they are all Chinese after all. This reason sounded very reasonable at that time. Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others did not oppose it at that time, so it was settled. Now think about it, maybe at that time Mu Ying had saved the purpose of helping Zhou Jingyi fight for the role.


    "It''s not true," muying explained with a smile, knowing what Xiao Yao meant. "When I set up the role, although I already knew Jin, she didn''t find out that we were preparing for the film and writing the script together. I just thought that the female character should be Asian. We are all Chinese. If the male characters in the movie have you, then the most important female characters in the movie have to be Chinese! "


    "If you just say the last sentence, I may still believe you," Xiao Yao said with a chuckle. "But you specially stressed that when setting the role, Jin had not found out that we were preparing for the film and writing the script together, so I didn''t believe it. Maybe at that time, she didn''t know that we were preparing for the film together, but you must have planned to pull her to play. Maybe she found us discussing the script in the video on purpose! "


    "You ~" Mu Ying looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, then said with a smile, "OK! So what? I''m her acting teacher. I help my students fight for a role in their own play. What''s the matter? What''s wrong? If there''s a mistake, it''s also your fault, because you asked me to be her acting teacher! "


    "This ~" Xiao Yao was speechless, leaned back on the chair and waved his hand weakly, "yes, you''re right, don''t say it!"


    Muying did not leave immediately after returning Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui to his apartment. Instead, she followed Xiao Yao into his apartment and watched the audition videos of several actors in the afternoon to discuss their performance. When they had a good discussion, it was time for dinner.


    At dinner time, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting also got up and came to Xiao Yao''s room. Instead of going out for dinner, they ordered takeout.


    These people are investors. After dinner together, Mu Ying gave them a detailed introduction to the preparations of the cast. The formation of the cast has been completed, some actors and all the staff behind the scenes have been determined, and contracts have been signed. All the shooting sites have been contacted, waiting for the last few actors to be selected.


    After the introduction of the crew, muying discussed with you about the shooting plan of the film, and stayed until almost late at night.


    According to the previous plan, Xiao Yao is going to let Mu Ying do the audition. When he comes, he will make a decision with Mu Ying. However, due to the release of Wali and Zhao Rui''s graduation performance, Xiao Yao and his party came to the United States a little later than Xiao Yao expected. In order to save time, Xiao Yao let Mu Ying alone He decided on most of the supporting actors, leaving only a few leading roles and some heavy supporting roles to be decided after he came.


    It''s not sure that there are not many roles for actors, and there are not many actors who need to audition. The next morning, Xiao Yao, muying and Kate McCann auditioned for all the candidates who had not yet determined the role of the actors.McCann is just a representative sent by the cast union to supervise the audition process and ensure the legitimate rights and interests of actors. When all the actors on the candidate list are apparently qualified, she will not have much influence and say in the final result. Xiao Yao and Mu Ying spent another afternoon discussing all the actors in the second audition, and finally selected the cast of all the roles.


    After the list of all the actors has been determined, Mu Ying asked the deputy director of the cast to inform the newly determined actors to come and sign a contract with the cast, and then wait for the film to start shooting.


    Before the movie officially started, Mu Ying also gathered all the behind the scenes staff and the main actors of the crew to meet, so that everyone could get familiar with each other first.


    Xiao Yao is well-known in the United States. Most of the staff and actors behind the scenes know him. Although Xiao Yao is very young and directs a live action movie for the first time, after listening to all kinds of stories of Xiao Yao, we are very curious about this "Chinese genius", but we don''t despise him. It''s basically pleasant to meet and chat with each other.


    In a more pleasant atmosphere, the film officially started.


    Xiao Yao''s inspiration for making this Parkour film comes from the previous French film "enterprise warrior", and the setting of the seven person Parkour team comes from that film. However, Xiao Yao not only joined the female role in the leading role team, the main story of the film is not that story.


    The main plot of "enterprise warrior" in previous life is that Parkour team goes to the rich''s house to steal in order to cure a child with heart disease. Xiao Yao worries that the film, which advocates "violation of crime", may not pass the trial in China. Although Xiao Yao''s film aims at the international market, he doesn''t want it to be unable to be shown in China, so in addition to drawing lessons from some character settings and action scenes, this film actually tells a completely different story.


    In the opening part of the movie, this movie is similar to the previous life''s "corporate warrior", basically showing the skills of the seven person Parkour team. In the early morning, seven people gathered to discuss and select the target building. At daybreak, they climbed to the top of the building to watch the sunrise. Then the residents called the police and the police surrounded the building. The seven people ran away.


    However, because the main plot is not to help children with heart disease raise operation expenses by stealing, there are no two children who sneak out from home and watch them climb the stairs with bare hands excitedly, so as to avoid the suspicion of "teaching bad children".


    After the opening show of climbing stairs and chasing scenes, the film introduced the seven members of the team in the way of a police leader. It also made each member of the team have a separate show in this way.


    The plot shown separately is not quite the same as the previous "enterprise warrior". Each character''s identity, occupation, family environment, skill characteristics and the way of display in the film are not quite the same as those in the previous life of "enterprise soldier", but under the guidance of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and others reconstructed according to their own characteristics.


    The only thing Xiao Yao keeps is that there is also a detective in the police station who has a close relationship with a member of the team in private, which is also a foreshadowing for the later plot.


    The real dramatic conflict of the film is not a heart attack child who falls from a tree accidentally to imitate the protagonists, but the three members of the seven person Parkour team who unexpectedly witnessed a murder during a "flying over the eaves and walking over the wall" activity.


    At that time, seven people were playing Parkour on the roof of a building. Xu Fei''s character accidentally saw the windows of a nearby building. Several people seemed to be arguing about something. In a moment of curiosity, Xu Fei jumps directly to the balcony railing outside the window. Then the characters Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui find Xu Fei''s abnormality and follow him.


    Because their movements were light and their windows were closed, they didn''t attract the attention of several people who were arguing in the room. They didn''t turn on the balcony, so they grasped the iron railing of the balcony and watched through the window.


    In the room, two men were beating another man, and another man was sitting by and watching. When the three people saw that the beaten man had a black face, a bleeding mouth and nose, and discussed whether to call the police, the man sitting next to him took out a pistol to blow the beaten man''s head.


    Xiao Yao and the other three characters were startled. Just as they were about to escape and report to the police, the man with a gun occasionally looked back out of the window and saw the three. Three people inside and three people outside face each other, all see the face, the man with the gun immediately pointed the gun at the three people outside the window.


    The trio of Parkour outside the house immediately let go and fell on the balcony on the first floor downstairs, then quickly escaped.


    Three people are Parkour masters, and across a window, very smoothly escaped the pursuit of the three killers in the room, ran to the police station.


    However, due to the previous series of "disturbing the residents" and "molesting the police", the seven members of this team are all unpopular figures in the police station, so they are naturally not convincing. They not only failed to report to the police, but were almost arrested by the police for making trouble in the police station.


    When the three got out of the police station, four other members of the team found them. The three told the other four members what they had seen. After discussion, they finally decided to find the detective who grew up in their community and had a close relationship with Xiao Yao.In the detective''s home, they recognized the shooter from a magazine. It turned out that the man was a famous entrepreneur. This entrepreneur is a famous person in our city and has a good reputation. The detective followed seven people to the scene of the crime suspiciously, only to find that there was no scene of killing at all. Under the investigation, the police found that the owner of the so-called "crime scene" room was just a casual construction worker with no fixed occupation. According to the neighbor''s reaction, the man disappeared after he got a reward recently. He probably didn''t know where to spend money.


    After this investigation, the police detective naturally could not believe the testimony of the three people. Instead, he advised the seven people to work seriously and stop playing those "disturbing" Parkour.


    The police report to no avail, seven people have no choice but to go home. I didn''t expect that the entrepreneur had great powers. He found out the identity of the three people and secretly sent people to ambush them on their way home.


    Three people with superb Parkour technology to escape the entrepreneur sent to the pawn after the capture, and the other four people gathered together, and then decided to launch a counterattack with the strength of seven people.


    The entrepreneur was a builder, and the owner who was killed was a builder. The intersection is obvious. Through the private investigation of seven people, it is found that the last job of the builder is just on the site of the entrepreneur. It is very likely that the builder got something from the entrepreneur. Judging from the scene of the entrepreneur''s murder, the murderer probably hasn''t found the handle yet.


    Relying on Parkour''s climbing technology, seven people directly climbed the wall and turned the window into the victim''s home. After a thorough search, they found a video from the ceiling which was hard to reach.


    The content of the video is some violations of the construction site, shoddy, adulterated materials, bribery quality inspection personnel. It is very likely that the builder accidentally found out and recorded it, so as to coerce the builder, which led to his death.


    Getting this video can only prove that there is a problem with the construction quality of the builder. It is likely that the builder has been fined, and that the builder has only suffered some property losses. As the body of the builder was not found, and there was no direct evidence of the builder''s murder, the murder case could not be filed, and the danger of the three members could not be relieved.


    Later, seven people set up a bureau, contacted the entrepreneur, claimed that the evidence was in their hands, and led the entrepreneur to negotiate. Of course, entrepreneurs who have already killed people will not submit to the rules. They secretly assign people at the meeting place to prepare to kill people. However, the seven people who had been prepared for a long time not only successfully got rid of the pursuit of the entrepreneur''s subordinates through their clever plans and superb Parkour technology, but also photographed the evidence of their attempt to kill people, successfully toppling the black businessman.


    Because the black businessman''s construction project is in the community where the seven people live, their behavior also solves a potential threat for the community people. Therefore, after the truth is revealed, the community people have changed their behavior towards the seven people, and finally it is a happy happy ending.


    The plot of the movie is not particularly brilliant, but the point of this action movie is not in the plot, but in the action scenes. In terms of drama, as long as the story is told clearly, there is no obvious logic loophole. The main focus of this film is to make the action scenes well.
