Chapter 1232 Sino-US cooperation
Director Matt is a more serious and dedicated director. After reading the script, he came to China one month in advance and went to many places in northwest China and Mobei. On a field visit, he found that the unmanned Gobi Desert in Mobei is very suitable for shooting scripts. The magnificent war scene depicted in
So he chose a desert town for camping. There are few Han people in this town. There is only a small hotel for accommodation. There are so many celebrities at home and abroad. The reception capacity is really limited. The mayor came forward and coordinated Some local residents let crew members live in local people's homes.
This is a novel experience for everyone. Every place in this place is covered with vines. At the end of autumn, the grapes are off the shelf, but there are late-maturing varieties. After the filming every day, the host will bring in fresh grapes and preserved fruit snacks, and three meals a day will be a meal of beef and mutton: beef buns, beef noodles, mutton, lamb skewers, mutton soup ...
Eat well and work harder.
Gourmet food also made it easier for everyone to break in: the first is the problem of language communication between Chinese and English, the script is English, the line is English, and the speech is English. English, even if it is a group performance, must also speak English, the audience's eyes are very sharp, the mouth shape, can be seen in minutes.
This requirement made Wang Xiangqin, who is the backbone of the old drama, frequently NG. His English can only be considered good. It is no problem to read the lines in English, but it is a bit difficult to inflate and infuse the characters.
Fortunately, Wang Xiangqin hired an English tutor at his own expense in advance-a professor at the English Department of Capital University. When he was rehearsing the script, his English teacher was next to correct his pronunciation.
Liu Yan does not need a teacher, and Maria is her teacher. The patience and enthusiasm of the two of them made everyone in the crew amazed. They couldn't help but wonder who the **** is the Hollywood big man and who is the heir to the wealthy family.
In contrast, Liu Yan is also the Chinese culture teacher of the two of them. In the past, she taught Lu Lu and Zhang Xinyi etiquette in the Han Dynasty Autumn Moon crew. Now, she teaches Maria how to walk, salute, and speak like an ancient Chinese woman.
Maria is very clever. These points are taught by Liu Yan and demonstrated once. She remembers it and does it again, almost perfectly.
There is a play in which Lu Pheasant, played by Maria, works in Tanaka, and her husband Liu Bang comes to the horse and tells her that she was named "Han King" by Xiang Yu.
An extravagant American style, wearing a linen cloth in ancient Chinese style, wearing a black wig, without any modified jewelry on her hair, puts a gray head on her face and works with a hoe.
Liu Yan did not do farm work in her previous life, but she experienced the taste of hard life. How could Maria have tasted this taste?
It was difficult for Maria to show the state of working hard for poverty and displacement in the beginning. She used a **** to pretend to be an embarrassing act. Everyone wanted to laugh and had to endure. Matt shook his head and sighed, feeling tired, and looking for a Miss Qianjin who had no acting experience was Harvey's biggest mistake.
Liu Yan walked to Matt and said to her, "Chinese women are very subtle. Even if their husbands are here, they should look up slightly and look at him happily, but they have to smile and respect each other. Do n’t look into his eyes, be humble. ”
In the first few NG, Wang Xiangqin came on horseback, and Maria stared at him. Wang Xiangqin was also embarrassed. He forgot his line for a moment, and faced Maria's strong face, these light brown eyes, He was speechless.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Xiangqin had previously refused to ride horses in the "Han Gong Qiu Yue" crew because of fear of sunburn and fear of danger. Now in the "Gang Xia Ge" crew, Matt can't say that he has no need to stand in and strive for truth.
During this period of rest, Wang Xiangqin, who took over the work of Blue Creek, once again spurred his whip. Once he was embarrassed to play a big name in front of the Hollywood director; secondly, the climate in Mobei is not hot, and the sun is not as hot as summer and autumn Exposure to the Gobi will not cause severe sunburn.
Wang Xiangqin has long black hair, wearing fake mustaches on his lips and jaws, and is full of wind and dust, but there is a smug and wanton look in his eyes. He completely substituted himself into the role of Liu Bang. He was sealed as the queen of Han and returned Hometown came to pick up his wife and children, and enjoy the glory and wealth together with him.
At this time, he and Xiang Yu had not fallen apart, and the whole person was full of enthusiasm. By comparison, Lu Pheasant had always lived in the country, and it seemed much more honest and honest. At this moment, the simplicity and the future power of the world will have a sharp contrast and contrast.
The state of Maria is directly the image of the last queen.
Following Liu's teaching, Maria performed the play again: Wang Xiangqin rode from far and near to see her long-standing husband, she put down her **** with joy, crossed the field ridge, walked to the horse, and looked at him, " Husband, you are back. "
For the sound of "husband", Maria used "honey"-that's how it was written in the script. Wang Xiangqin listened to "honey" countless times these past few days. At first, he was very playful.
Ye Zi'an told him that he and Liu Yan had to dub their respective roles in the later period, and Chinese audiences were not comfortable with this dialogue.
Wang Xiangqin dismounted and supported Maria's shoulder. "Ma'am, you're working hard. Now that I'm a Hanwang, please pack your bags and take your children to Nanyang with me."
...
A whole day ~ www. ~ finally finished the show, everyone was exhausted, which is still very fast. The difficulty of foreigners playing Chinese is far more than everyone expected.
In the early stage, it was mainly Wang Xiangqin and Maria ’s opponents. Liu Yan ’s plays were not many. She watched them filming outside the studio and occasionally made a guest assistant. She suggested Maria and what to do. Wang Xiangqin was also very enthusiastic. Although his acting skills were perfect, it was not good Squeezing the form and manners of the Chinese, Wang Xiangqin and Ye Yean taught him hand in hand.
The crew of the Sino-US cooperation has no disputes and no barriers, and everything is very harmonious.
During the period, many media wanted to come to visit the class, but Ye Yean refused. He said that the town was already overloaded with receptions, and then came to several media. The townsmen might be overwhelmed and complained. After they took the location, they returned to the ancient capital and returned At the film and television base, everyone will come to the class again, and he will never object.
Everything has come to this point, and the media is embarrassed to come over. Besides, this small town is really remote and desolate. Without the locals leading him, they dare not come.
A month passed quickly, and the crew started shooting the two ending scenes of the location scene, which was also the climax of the film. One was Yu Ji, and the other was Liu Banghou buried her.
