Capítulo 143: Chapter 143 - Five O'Clock Man
With Cheng Jia Ban's stunt doubles on board, that difficult stunt ended up being filmed without any danger.
The second climax sequence of the movie was an uncompromising action sequence where Lin Ming Yang, Jackie Chan and Kate teamed up to rescue the baby from the gangsters. This is also an action-packed sequence, but with the experience of the previous shoots, it was a lot easier to shoot this scene.
After infiltrating the gangster-controlled building, they split up into groups. Lin Mingyang and Kate are responsible for attracting and holding the attention of the gangsters on the periphery, while Jackie Chan once again plays the role of a lone hero, sneaking into the tiger's lair alone. This shooting Lin Mingyang show hand opportunity but, he and Kate's performance content is mainly involved in the chase, evasive gunfight, while Jackie Chan's performance is more on the action show. This arrangement was proposed by director Brian Levent, who believed that this could simultaneously satisfy the appreciation needs of viewers with different preferences.
The movie ends with a big explosion, a standard Hollywood comedy ending, where the gang is destroyed by the police, the children return to their parents, and Lin and Jackie are sent to prison, where Kate often brings her baby to visit them.
For more than a month before and after, Lin Mingyang basically stayed on the set every day, and by the time he went back to school it was already April. After Mark Zuckerberg left, the school hadn't arranged for anyone else to move into the H33 dormitory for the time being. In the crowded Kirkland dormitory, it was possible to have a single room. It was pure luck that Lin Mingyang was able to have this, but this alone had already made the Harvard students living around him envious.
Whether it was the status of a Hollywood movie star or the organizer of the Boys' Dormitory Forum, all of these made it so that there was no one in the entire Kirkland Dormitory who didn't know Lin Mingyang. When dragging his suitcase up the stairs, the people coming down the stairs would greet Lin Ming Yang warmly. When he came to the door of the dormitory, Lin Mingyang touched his pants pocket and realized that he had forgotten his keys at home, so he had no choice but to knock on the door.
"Felix is not here!" Only after knocking twice, Billy Olsen's gong-like roar came from inside.
Lin Ming Yang helplessly raised his hand and knocked two more times, and a rustling sound finally came from the room, followed by the sound of slippers "snapping" and "snapping" as they walked over. The sound came from far away and ended abruptly at the door. The door was pulled open a small crack, and Green Nutt obscenely stretched out his difficult belt, glancing at Lin Ming Yang standing outside the door, then froze
"Felix, we were all just talking about you!" Grim Nutter's face was full of disbelief, his round little eyes looking up and down on Lin Ming Yang as if he wanted to make sure he wasn't deceived by his eyes.
"If you're referring to Billy's hiss, I heard it too!" Lin Ming Yang nodded his head, and seeing that Green Nutt didn't have the slightest gesture to open the door voluntarily, he had no choice but to reach out and push the door.
Grim Nath hastily let go of his hand and said sorry. The door was pushed open Lin Ming Yang realized that Green Nutt's whole body was only wearing a pair of pants, the top actually pattern printed actually Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck kissing cartoon drawings.
The picture in front of him made Lin Ming Yang think with some chills, could it be that a certain Disney executives also have the same fetish with Grimm Nath, "Is this the new special model from Disney?"
"This is the internal identification logo of our newly formed association!" Grim-Nat proudly introduced.
"An identification mark?" The expression on Lin Mingyang's face instantly petrified, "Could it be that that association of yours only wears a pair of pants when organizing events?"
"It's said to be an ancient tradition from the time of European immigrants, but of course this pattern doesn't have that long of a history!" Grim-Nat explained to Lin Mingyang with a calm face.
Grimm Nutter had always been a bit "different", so Lin Ming Yang could barely accept his strange behavior, but when he walked into the living room, he saw Billy Olsen, who was wearing a cocked helmet, an ancient Roman armor, holding a prop sword in his hand, with a loud voice in his mouth, and swinging vigorously towards the small blackboard filled with words in front of him, then he was completely shocked. Billy Olsen, and then is utterly defeated by the guy's thunderous attire.
With a somewhat sympathetic sigh, Glyn Nutter points to Billy Olsen, "This guy's been sick for what must be a week!"
"What do you know...I'm rehearsing!" Billy Olsen swung his hand violently, aiming the tip of his sword at Grim Nutter, "Humble pariah, tremble under my sharp sword!"
Grimm Nutter impatiently pushed away the prop sword pointed at him, "This guy really thinks his is Caesar!"
"Felix, welcome back to the dorms...I've been getting messages on my homepage every day while you've been away, people are concerned about how you're doing, and I even had a woman from New Mexico offer me $100 for the panties you've been using." Billy Olsen makes a stabbing motion with the prop sword in his hand, "I took a pair of Green's and sold them to that stupid woman, and she actually believed it!"
"What!" Before Lin Ming Yang could comment, Grimm Nutt had already jumped up from the sofa, he was furious and pointed at Billy Olsen's nose, "You perverted fiend, you actually took out my underwear and bought them!"
Billy Olsen deflected his hand away with the prop sword in his hand, "Please be careful how you phrase that, I'm labeling your panties Felix and putting them out for sale...or else what woman in her right mind would be interested in your panties?"
Said Billy Olsen, not forgetting to survey the pair that Grimm Nutt was currently wearing, "Originally I was going to use these, but considering the damage it would do to Felix's reputation, I ended up switching to a different pair!"
Grimm Nutter covered his underwear with one hand, "You should pray that you're not holding this one, or I'll rip your head off!"
"Are you trying to challenge my authority, you lowly slave?" Billy Olsen started practicing his lines again, pretending to be crazy and not caring, while Glyn Nutt pointed and cursed at him relentlessly.
Having seen this kind of argument so many times, Lin Ming Yang couldn't do anything about this pair of living treasures in his dormitory, and he didn't bother to say hello to the two again, dragging his suitcase into his bedroom. When he packed his bed and returned to the living room, the "war" between Billy Olsen and Green Nutt seemed to have just ended.
Green Nutt nestled on the sofa, really flipping through a novel, Billy Olsen finally took off that weird costume, he held a NextFrame Film Festival flyer in his hand, and began to chatter and pester Lin Ming Yang.
"Felix, it just so happens that this NextFrame Film Festival will be held in Boston this year, and we're preparing to make a movie to compete in it, and the thing we're struggling with the most right now is the lack of a script and an experienced director...I think you should be free during this time, right?"
Lin Ming Yang didn't have much interest in a college film festival like NextFrame, but he had always wanted to make a movie of a non-commercial nature. Find a few students who could act as actors, no thought of distribution, no headaches for publicity, a movie that was purely self-indulgent.
"Screenwriting, directing and cinematography can all be taken care of by me, the key is the right actors, you've joined the school's drama club, so if you have any good candidates you can recommend them to me!" Lin Ming Yang took the leaflet, casually glanced at it, and casually slipped it into his pants pocket.
"Does this even need a recommendation?" Billy Olsen pointed very hard towards himself, "The best actor in the Harvard Drama Club is standing right in front of you!"
Glyn Nutt, who hadn't said a word before, popped up at this point, "That must be your self-appointment!"
Billy Olsen ignored his sarcasm, still eyeing Lin Mingyang.
"I don't have a suitable script in my hands right now, and the casting of the role is even more impossible to talk about!" Lin Ming Yang spread his hands helplessly.
Billy Olsen came up with an idea: "Why don't we make a Harvard campus version of Twilight?"
Lin Ming Yang topped him with a serious face, "It's hard to say if the pattern on Green's underwear is used without Disney's authorization, it'll be taken to court by Disney. The movie rights of Twilight are now owned by Disney, so you'd better put that idea to rest!"
"I do have a good idea!" Glynn Nutter bubbled again.
Billy Olsen finally caught a break and said with scathing sarcasm, "We're not interested in gay themes!"
Grimm Nutter rolled his eyes at him in contempt as he raised the novel he was just flipping through in his hand towards Lin Mingyang, "I'm referring to this!"
The name Five O'Clock Man drew a scoff from Billy Olsen, but Lin Ming Yang felt as though he'd heard of this book somewhere before, and he could be sure that it definitely wasn't a book of gay literature.
"This is the debut novel of Indian author Chittan Bahat, and you know that this book was just published last year, and it's never been on any of the major traditional book lists, but Chittan Bahat's name is known by every college student in India." Greene Nutter majored in LGBTQ literature at Harvard, a subject that, while cold, always carried the title of literature, so Greene Nutter's literary appreciation was not low. He accidentally found this book in the library, and after flipping through it, he thought it was an interesting story.
Billy Olsen grabbed the book from Green Nutter, then turned to the first page and read it aloud.
"Before I really get into this book, let me tell you what genre it doesn't fall into. It is not a guidebook that teaches how to get through college. Instead, it is most likely an example of you passing out and screwing up your college life. ... Let me tell you one more type of thing that this book definitely does not belong to. This book will not help you get into IITs. I think half the trees in the world have been cut down to make guides for IIT entrance exams. They're mostly crap, but they'll probably work a little better than this one of mine"
After reading only a short paragraph of the beginning, Billy Olsen had no patience to continue, "I think this book is ridiculous."
"Usually only an ignoramus like you would judge a book on the first page you turn!" Glynn Nutt returned nonchalantly.
"I think this beginning is interesting!" Lin Mingyang, however, showed a very different attitude from Billy Olsen, "Can you tell me about the general plot content of this book?"
"Rancho is the son of a gardener, handsome in appearance and overly intelligent, who poses as the owner's son to study engineering at a prestigious elite school. Rancho is outgoing, seeks freedom and creativity, and opposes studying for mere test scores, so he becomes a thorn in the side of the principal. Though the principal makes things difficult for him, they are calmly resolved by his wisdom."
"Rancho's two classmates in the same dormitory became diehards, these three teachers the principal's mouth of the idiots became the alternative in the school and formed a deep friendship, after graduating from college Rancho gave his degree to the master's son, while he himself disappeared without a trace, a number of years later his two friends began to look for him on the journey, just when everyone thought that he was in a poor and desperate somewhere. Rancho has actually become a scientist with more than 400 patents, and eventually the two friends find him, and the three 'idiots' meet after a long time, and Rancho not only gains the respect of his rivals, but also holds a beautiful woman in his arms."
"So you're suggesting we make an Indian movie?" Billy Olsen asked dismissively.
"Please note that I am suggesting it only for Felix, not you!" Glyn Nath was merciful to give Billy Olsen a hard blow, "The story in the novel is set in India, but the satire on marks as the purpose of learning, rigid thinking, fixed patterns and all these problems are actually prevalent in the education system across the globe, so I think it's a very good story."
As Green Nutt narrated, the memories in Lin Ming Yang's mind gradually became clearer, and he thought of a very interesting Indian movie. Lin Mingyang was recalling the plot of that movie, but an interjection from Billy Olsen stirred his thoughts.
"I got it!" Billy Olsen exclaimed in excitement, "It must be Nat that you yourself wanted to act in this movie, so you recommended this novel. You must have done it on purpose because you knew about the NextFrame Film Festival in advance, and the novel just happens to have three main characters, isn't that just for us in dormitory H33?"
He was greeted with a double dose of contempt from Lin Ming Yang and Green Nutt, and under the gaze of the two men's somber gazes, Billy Olsen laughed sarcastically for a couple of moments before scratching his head, "Did I say something wrong?"
The three looked at each other wide-eyed for half a day before Lin Ming Yang held back this sentence, "Then who do you think should play the role of Rancho?"
Billy Olsen hesitated and struggled for half a day before finally squirming and asking, "What do you think of me?"
When these words came out, Lin Mingyang and Green Nutt fainted collectively.
