Speed and passion: behind-the-scenes production of Tokyo drift

The first episode of 200 1 The Fast and the Furious about street racing in Los Angeles immediately caused a sensation, which also made Hewen Dissel famous at that time. In 2003, the sequel moved the scene to Miami, which also achieved amazing box office results. After three years, the third episode of the film is set in Japan, and all the actors are enabled, hoping to bring a brand-new vision to the audience.

In this episode, in order to avoid being jailed for causing trouble, street racer Shane is sent to Tokyo to take refuge with his father whom he hasn't seen for years. In the noisy streets of Tokyo, Shane witnessed the amazing "drift" skills of street racers here, so he gladly invited the fight and tasted the taste of failure. Afterwards, Shane was forced to enter the bottom society of Tokyo. In order to find a way to pay his debts, he had to return to his old job, and the speed of life and death on the streets of Tokyo was staged again.

Director China.

The box office and word-of-mouth of the first two episodes of the film were good, which also brought great pressure to the director of the third episode. Finally, Lin Yibin, a Ran Ran-born China director in Hollywood, won the contract. Lin Yibin, 1973 was born in Taiwan Province, and immigrated to the United States from Taiwan Province province with his family at the age of 8. After receiving secondary school and university education, he joined the film industry. His works didn't get much attention from the audience before, but the recently released Annapolis still received rave reviews.

Perhaps because the film is set in Asia this time, Lin Yibin has more reason to be the first choice of the production company, but for this young director, racing is definitely a brand-new and challenging topic. In order to make this film well, Lin Yibin spent a lot of time understanding the technology of racing drift and getting along with racing drivers day and night, so as to better understand this sport full of "speed and passion".

New lineup

The Fast and the Furious is a place that is good at discovering new stars. In the first episode, and Wen Dissel, the two leading actors, soared into the sky and became Hollywood's first-line superstars. In the second episode, Paul Walker was still invited, but Wen Dissel was absent because of the salary problem. In the third episode, the production company couldn't afford the price of these two superstars, so it turned to looking for potential newcomers.

The newly discovered actor is lucas black, who participated in the filming of Light of Victory and Jarhead. This young actor, who is just 24 years old, has been involved in the filming of film and television dramas since 1994 and has rich experience. But many people didn't expect that he had never taken an acting course before, and he just started his own career in Hollywood with his talent. Meanwhile, the black actor bow wow plays the leading role in the film. He has performed Mike and Roll Bounce before, and he is also a famous rapper while taking part in filming.

As the film was shot in Japan, many Asian actors can take part in it. Nevertheless, I believe that even Japanese audiences rarely recognize them, because the crew usually selects Asians who immigrated to the United States from Japan very early, and many of them can't even speak Japanese because of their living environment. Because there are a lot of Japanese dialogues in the film, they have to accept short-term language training for it.
