Special feature of 1905 film network After three years, Mission Impossible is back. The recipe is familiar, and Ethan Hunt’s old partners are still there.
Just last week, Tom Cruise, simon pegg, Henry Cavill and director Christopher Macaulay also made a special trip to Beijing to promote the film in China. Even the press conference was held in the ancestral temple.
Although it’s not the first time for several people to come to China, it’s still simon pegg who knows what Asian fans like.After teaching Tom Cruise to compare hearts in the Korean publicity campaign of Mission Impossible 6, several people did it again and again on the red carpet of the ancestral temple.
Speaking of this finger-to-heart gesture, simon pegg said,I learned it from fans at the Korean airport.. As a result, the activity of "learning now and selling now" immediately aroused Tom Cruise’s curiosity.
In addition to empathy, simon pegg’s Weibo is also quite skilled. See more Hollywood stars holding a piece of paper to verify their identity, and then give it to the staff to take care of; The Weibo painting style of "Simon Gathering" will be much more exotic. I promised to send nude photos after 1 million fans, and the result was my own model posing; There was also a brain cake on Halloween, and the result was screened by the pictures of pig brain flowers of fans.
When we asked Weibo about his cake, he said that he just wanted to show off the cake made by his sister, but China fans were so dismissive that they showed their real brains instead.Twitter gave him to the staff, and Weibo’s account was actually updated in person.. Although half of the replies were in Chinese that he didn’t understand, he also had a lot of fun.
The audience loves Simon so much. Apart from playing a geek-like assistant in Hollywood movies, it is natural that he collaborated with edgar wright and Nick Frost in the trilogy "Much ado about nothing" and "Blood and Ice Cream". Although edgar wright, who is struggling in Hollywood, has been waiting for cooperation with Simon again, it was Nick Frost who first got together with Simon in the movie.
Although Simon and Nick are only cameos in this film, Slaughterhouse Guidelines is the first work of their new production company. Will there be some tribute to my old friend Edgar in the movie? When we asked Simon, he smiled and said that if there was one, it was the director’s intention.
British "gay friends" who are also going to Hollywood, when Edgar left to start shooting, simon pegg shuttled through various series of movies that he loved quarterly as a child. After starring in Star Wars, writing a script for Star Trek and collaborating with Spielberg, is there any director simon pegg wants to collaborate with? The answer he gave was unexpected:
What director does simon pegg want to cooperate with most now?Cohen brothersAnd the one taken last yearPaul Thomas Anderson. In his view, the two directors have changeable styles and can grasp comedy, thriller and plot at the same time.
1905 movie network:You have collaborated with Tom Cruise on three "Mission Impossible" films before, and this is the second collaboration with director Christopher Macaulay. Should it be easy this time?
Simon pegg:I think every time you return to a story you are familiar with, it’s like going home, or getting used to the way things go. With the success of this series, I really feel relaxed. But never lose the challenge. You know the creators will always let you out of your comfort zone. You will learn new things and have many new experiences. I have been looking for the excitement of this series.
1905 movie network:At the end of the film, you and Rebecca Ferguson have a fierce confrontation with sean harris, and your character Bangui is even killed. Have you talked to the director about the ending of Bangui?
Simon pegg:Every time we talk about stories before shooting, we will discuss who will live to the end. And this one does have many roles that didn’t last. But in the end, the director thought it would be too much to let Benji die. Because Bangui is a popular character.This is a role that the audience will feel empathy for, because Bangui is similar to them in some places. He is very ordinary. I think killing him is like killing the audience.. But who knows next time?
1905 movie network:In this film, we see the growth of Bangui, who has more and more field missions. So in the process of shooting, do you have any stunts that you choose to complete under the impetus of Tom Cruise or the director?
Simon pegg:No, I am happy to do these crazy things. Although I can’t do what Tom did, I will try if there is any chance of stunt performance.For example, the underwater scene, although short, was really played by me.
1905 movie network:This should be the most stunt you’ve performed in this series?
Simon pegg:Quite a few. But I also have a scene in "Mysterious Country" where I sit in a car and get chased by many cars. That’s exciting, too I also have a fighting scene in that movie. However, the helicopter and skydiving in this part are left to Tom.
1905 movie network:Besides being an actor, you are also a screenwriter. Will you change part of the script or discuss with the director about the increase or decrease of the plot?
Simon pegg:A few lines, mainly Bangui-style lines. I can’t make any changes directly with Chris. Because he is also a good screenwriter. He has great control over the plot and characters, and he is a master. But Bangui itself still has some room to make some language adjustments, and Chris is glad that I will make some changes in this regard.
1905 movie network:It can be said that you have cooperated with all your favorite directors. Will there be directors who want to cooperate in the future?
Simon pegg:I want to cooperate with the Cohen brothers. I also want to cooperate with paul thomas anderson.. They are all good directors. The Cohen brothers make movies together, and Paul, and I like all their movies very much. I think the movies they make combine comedy, thriller and plot very well. The style of the film is changeable. They made my favorite movie, so I really want to cooperate with them.
1905 movie network:We are all concerned about your work "Slaughterhouse Guidelines" which was reunited with nick frost, and it is also the first work of your production company. Will there be a tribute to the previous trilogy of blood and ice cream?
Simon pegg:The director is Crispin Mills and the screenwriter is Henry Fitzbert. I think this is their movie. I joined as a producer, working with two companies, Promoting Global Media and Sony.So we were co-producers, and we played a small role. The protagonist of the film is a young man. If there is a tribute, it is Crispin’s behavior. (Laughter)
1905 movie network:You have many fans on Weibo. Do you remember the picture of the brain cake sent about two years ago? Have you tried brain flower since then?
Simon pegg:I remember that one because the cake is in the shape of a brain. But everyone seems to disagree and think, oh, it’s just a brain. We eat it anyway. I haven’t tried it yet, but I will try it.
1905 movie network:The picture of you teaching Tom Cruise to compare feelings is also circulating on the Internet. Where did you learn it?
Simon pegg:I think I learned it that day. I learned it at the airport. I have many lovely Korean fans. They came to meet me at the airport and taught me this way of comparing my heart with my fingers. I started doing it on stage. Tom came to ask, what is this? I said, this is empathy. Tom began to learn. I’m glad to teach Tom a little trick.
1905 movie network:You learn these popular things really quickly, and you can use all kinds of filters.
Simon pegg:Yes I sent it to Weibo myself. I basically don’t tweet myself because I want to stay away from Twitter. butWeibo is a very interesting place. Although I can’t understand half of the reply, because it is in Chinese. But I think it’s really great.
1905 movie network:Back to Mission: Impossible-Fallout, the director commented that’ the accident is an opportunity to surpass. Do you think you have encountered a similar situation?
Simon pegg:I think it should be the helicopter scene. Because it’s amazing. We’ve seen it in other movies, and we’ve seen it in other spy movies. Because that’s what spy movies are all about. There are trips, exotic scenery, various variables, and the pursuit of various means of transportation.. But this time Chris interpreted it in a new way, which I think is very powerful.
