In the studio, Chad pressed the remote control, and clips from Bruce Lee's old action movies played on the TV screen, specially for Martin to watch and learn.
In the film, the hero Eddie's fighting skills are self-taught, mainly from imitating action movies.
Martin always takes his work seriously and looks at it very carefully.
Chad said: "His movements are characterized by being fast, accurate, and ruthless. He knocks down his opponent directly and is absolutely powerful."
When Martin was a martial artist in his previous life, he also studied Jeet Kune Do. After reading it carefully, he said, "Try it."
The two of them had already changed into their practice clothes and came to the venue with thick mats. Chad emphasized: "Let's go slow first, and then we'll get familiar with the routines, and then we'll go faster."
Martin nodded: "No problem."
The two of them rehearsed their action routines as if in slow motion.
After all, making a movie is not about actual combat. Even in a fist-to-body combat mode, the first thing to ensure is that you are still cool and good-looking.
The action scenes are really going to turn into boxing fights, and the audience will have to spit all over the screen.
Chad's action design style is also close to actual combat.
The two of them practiced their routines throughout the morning.
Before noon, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Martin and Chad went to the Smoke House opposite Warner Studios for dinner.
After Martin finished ordering, he found that the people at the next table knew each other.
The girl with two dimples when she smiled was always looking at him.
Martin nodded proactively: "Good afternoon, Mia."
Mia, a waitress at the studio's soda fountain and an actress, responded quickly: "Hello, Martin."
Then, she introduced the male companion opposite: "This is Sebastian, a pianist."
"I know you," Martin said.
Sebastian stood up and bowed slightly: "Mr. Davis, you have sent me flowers several times."
The other party was the pianist in the restaurant. There were several times when Martin accompanied his female companion to dine. When he was in a good mood, he would spend money to buy a bouquet of flowers and have them delivered.
It is used all over the world, and the pianist who delivers flowers can get a commission.
"You guys go on." Martin stopped disturbing them and went back to chatting with Chad about work.
In addition to close combat, the film also involves gun battles.
When the meal was served, the two of them talked while eating.
Chad still had his previous point of view: "Smart drugs have improved the protagonist's learning ability. He also learned how to use a gun from the movies. I will select some combat-style gunfight movie clips in the future, and then you can imitate them."
Martin reminded: "The gunfight scene should not be too intense. It is just a supporting scene and should not take away the main plot."
Chad knew this: "I understand."
After lunch and a short rest, Martin changed crews.
"The Departed" has started post-production at Warner Bros. Studios, and Scorsese is asking several of the leading actors to re-dub some scenes.
When he came to the studio, Martin saw Leonardo and Nicholson, two bastards. He ignored them and said hello to the director first.
Scorsese didn't waste any time and talked directly about the work: "This time I asked you three to come over. Most of the scenes that need to be dubbed are scenes full of swear words, especially Martin and Leo. Your swear words are not strong enough."
Martin asked: "About Fake's dubbing?"
Scorsese nodded: "Whether it's you sending Cleo, or Leo beating you, they all lack the power to hate so much!" He took the lead and walked towards the recording studio: "Follow me."
Entering the recording studio together, Leonardo took the lines and entered the recording studio. The screen mounted on the wall played a long shot of the rooftop showdown.
Leonardo tried dubbing, speaking into the recording microphone with lines starting with F.
Scorsese put down the headset and called Leonardo out: "The strength I am talking about is not the pitch of the voice, but the tone and emotion. These cannot be solved by staring, frowning and roaring."
This is exactly the three-hit combo when Leonardo exerts his strength.
He scratched his head: "I'll try again."
The recording restarted, but Scorsese was still not satisfied and called Leonardo out again.
Although he is one of the few superstars in Hollywood, Leonardo is not an actor with explosive talents. He went back and forth twice and still couldn't find the feeling.
Scorsese pointed at Martin: "Imagine him as your life and death enemy!"
Leonardo looked at Martin, still frowning.
Martin suddenly had an idea, but he didn't mess with it. When Leonardo turned to the far side of the room, he whispered: "Director, I have an idea."
Scorsese knew that the badass trio’s tricks were endless, but sometimes they worked. He nodded and said, “Give it a try.”
When Leonardo turned back, Martin suddenly said: "Can you do it, Leo? Your dubbing won't be the same as that, is it an 11-second man?"
Scorsese appropriately asked: "What 11 Second Man?"
Martin gestured and said: "As for men and women, you know!"
Scorsese’s old face becomes particularly exciting.
Leonardo immediately became angry and raised his middle finger at Martin: "Fake yes! Fake..."
A string of curse words came out of his mouth.
Scorsese clapped his hands and shouted: "Yes, this is how it feels!" He went over and pushed Leonardo into the recording studio: "While the feeling is still there, hurry up and start!"
If the bastard's bad tricks are used well, they will also be helpful to the crew.
Leonardo's dubbing ended successfully.
When it was Martin's turn to go in, he sneered and said: "Theresa, Melissa, KK, Angela, Duchenne, these people are obsessed with you and want to know where your home is so that they can visit you. I want to Don’t tell them? Take a video at the same time and send it to Blake, it’s wonderful!”
Nicholson, this old bastard, didn’t forget to add the extra ingredients: “How about giving another one to Julie?”
"The studio of another crew of mine is right next to it. You are welcome to visit later and practice the action routines together." Martin entered the recording line and it took him twice to really find the feeling and complete a bunch of dubbing.
In contrast, Nicholson had the easiest time because his character had fewer lines.
In all the scenes in this movie, there will be more than 500 fakes popping out of the mouths of their asshole trio.
After editing into the film, it is estimated that there will be no less than 200 pieces.
In the middle of the afternoon, the work was declared complete.
Martin called Leonardo and Nicholson to a nearby studio and suggested that the former change into training clothes and exercise together.
Leonardo was not fooled by this and said: "Except for water guns, I will not shoot any other action scenes. There is no need for training."
Martin specializes in exposing people's shortcomings: "That's right. When you become a fat uncle like Jack, Oscar will give you a statuette."
This sentence scolded the two bastards. Before Leonardo could say anything, Nicholson fired back: "Little bastard, with the way you are playing now, you will never be able to get hard again by the time you are thirty at most. You watch while we play, so just cry away your tears."
Martin snorted coldly and said: "You don't know my strength at all. Even Leo, after playing for so many years, has no problem. I am much stronger than him."
"Who says he's fine?" Nicholson turned on random killing mode: "He's in 11 seconds now!"
Leonardo came from behind and strangled Nicholson's neck: "I'm going to kill you!"
"Don't kill him, he's still useful to me. When I'm done with it, you can kill him as you please." Martin patted Nicholson and said, "Old bastard, there is a big villain in this movie, a Wall Street capital tycoon. Are you interested? "
Nicholson said half-jokingly: "I won't do it for less than $10 million!"
Martin gave him a middle finger: "You can go die."
Nicholson broke away from Leonardo's arms and asked, "Looking for a place to relax at night?"
Leonardo shook his head: "I won't go, I need to recharge my batteries recently."
Nicholson's eyes widened: "You won't betray the trio like this bastard Martin, right?"
Martin was unhappy: "Why did I become a traitor?"
"You found a girlfriend on horseback!" Leonardo replied first, and then explained: "I finally became single again, so why should I find a regular girlfriend? Do you know how cool it is to have a young and beautiful female companion every night? ?"
Nicholson had a serious look on his face: "I know!"
When he was young, he spent more time playing than Leonardo.
Martin was ashamed because he didn't know that he was holding back the three bastards.
So, work hard.
In the evening, Martin invited two bastards to go out drinking together, and the three of them went to the Avalon nightclub together.
Before entering the store, he specially picked up the prepared things with Lao Bu.
Martin asked for a bottle of whiskey, and when he saw Leonardo and Nicholson randomly choosing a place in the lobby on the first floor, he went over and sat down.
The three of them drank a few drinks, and Martin seemed to be drunk and said: "Leo, Jack, we three bastards have the same odor. We have drilled holes together and sharpened guns together. There is no need to say that we are related!"
"Ever since Warren Beatty got married and returned to his family, and Marlon Brando went to see God, I haven't met such a congenial bastard like you for a long time." Nicholson picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the two of them one by one: " Here’s to our bastard trio!”
Leonardo and Martin toasted together.
Martin added: "Since we are a trio of bastards, I will tell you a secret. Do you know why I am so strong?"
When this was mentioned, Leonardo became angry: "Young and strong."
"No." Martin took out two small green boxes from his pocket and placed them on the wine table: "The real secret is them!"
Nicholson asked, "What drug is this?"
"A drug without any side effects, very suitable for that." Since they are called a trio of assholes, how can they not do asshole things? Martin still remembers that these two bastards asked the paparazzi to secretly photograph him, and he solemnly recommended: "The effect is very, very good, and I am the best example."
Leonardo doubted: "Are you telling the truth?"
Martin asked back: "My credit has always been very good!"
The two of them had seen Martin's strength with their own eyes, and they all put it away.
Nicholson tapped Martin on the arm and signaled with his eyes: "Pete is here."
At the door of the bar, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck walked in together.
