Chapter 199: George
Leaving Betty City, Zhou Linlang did not return to China as soon as possible, but went to Howler House. Jon's good friend George is a TV drama director who is filming a weekly drama with an Oriental character, and Jon recommends Zhou Linlang to George.
This drama is very bloody and fantastic, and it is about a special school. Externally, the school is an ordinary high school, but in fact, the students in the school have supernatural bloodlines, witches, Shikigami, werewolves, vampires, supernatural people, holy knights, etc., they are not normal people anyway. Children always want to save the world, but parents want their children to live a normal life, and these children are sent here to learn how to be an ordinary hero. The competition of people of various abilities in the school, how to disguise themselves as ordinary people outside the school, the friendship between children......
The script is particularly boring, but the plot is very interesting and enjoyable, and it has now been filmed for one season, with good ratings, and it is the dark horse of last year's weekly drama. With the good results of the first season, there is no shortage of investors in the second season, there is more money, the costumes are more exquisite, the special effects are more realistic and gorgeous, and the ratings have risen again, which is a completely virtuous circle. In the second season, there is an Oriental transfer student, who is set as a feng shui master, and originally planned to use J Chinese, but the effect was not good after the audition. The faces of the flower country mixed in Bollywood are either too old and do not have the feeling of high school students, maybe their English is not good, and the dubbing is awkward, or they are ABC, and they can't play the charm of an authentic feng shui master. For a while, George wanted to go to the Huaguo Continent to find someone. At this time, Jon recommended Zhou Linlang, and George immediately happily asked Zhou Linlang to audition.
There are not many shots of the role of the feng shui master, and the supporting role in the supporting role is also set to be an exchange student who followed his parents to exchange in country M, if he can't find a suitable person, the screenwriter can make this role "end of communication" at any time. For Zhou Linlang, George didn't have much hope, because he couldn't find anyone, George originally planned to delete this character, but the screenwriter was unwilling, feeling that without the mysterious Feng Shui master of the East, the school of the Stranger would not be complete. Out of recognition of the completeness of the plot, George has been looking for a feng shui master for a long time, but it has not been ideal, and of course he will not have much expectations for Zhou Linlang, even if she is an actor introduced by his friend.
"Director George, hello, my name is Zhou Linlang, and I am an actor introduced by Mr. Jon. Zhou Linlang said.
George looked Zhou Linlang up and down, and secretly assessed in his heart. Well, I am very fluent in English, I don't have much accent, I just don't know if I can say my lines in English. Well, it looks good, it is very oriental and recognizable, and it will definitely be remembered by the audience. But does the other person look so young and grown?
"Are you an adult?" asked George directly.
Zhou Linlang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I have graduated from college and have long been an adult." ”
"OMG!" said George, surprised, "the Orientals are just amazing, and I doubt that you have a miracle medicine for maintaining youth, and you really can't be believed in your age." ”
"Maybe we have the genes of immortals in our genes, and in our mythology, immortals are eternal youth. Zhou Linlang couldn't help but make a joke. She had long discovered that the mysterious and powerful feng shui master Peony in the script was actually an immortal cultivator in the hearts of the Dahua people, but Westerners didn't understand it and confused the two.
Yes, the feng shui master in the script is called Peony, a super vulgar name, and no parent in the flower country would give their children such a shameful name. But in George's view, peony is the national flower of the big flower country, a particularly beautiful flower, and it is definitely everyone's favorite name, just like many parents in the West name their daughters ROSE, roses. Eh, I have to say, this is a misunderstanding caused by cultural differences.
"Really?" said George. In his consciousness, the Oriental people are always very mysterious, and they have mastered special techniques, such as kung fu, such as food, which are simply magic.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. Zhou Linlang hurriedly changed his words.
George's eyes were too eager, just like the Citigroup people she met in the hotel, and he thought she knew kung fu and didn't listen to the explanation. It would be better for her to explain clearly, if the people of Citi really think that the people of Huaguo have the gene of immortality, wouldn't the people of Huaguo become diamonds, and everyone wants to catch them and study them. This can't be Zhou Linlang's alarmist, Westerners' newspapers always like to distort the facts, many times Huaguo people are devils in their eyes, and it is not impossible to become Tang monk meat, plus they are the most perverted, who knows if there will be crazy people who believe this.
"Well, just kidding. George was extremely disappointed, this disappointment was only a little bit, after all, as long as he had a long brain, he knew that what Zhou Linlang said just now could not be true.
"Ann, take Zhou down and put on makeup. Jokes aside, when it comes to work, George instantly becomes serious, as if he is a different person, "Give you an hour, and after an hour, you take the makeup-up Zhou to the No. 3 lounge, where we audition." ”
"Okay, Director. A girl with flaxen hair and a few freckles on her face walked up to Zhou Linlang and said with a smile, "Please come with me, let's go to the No. 2 dressing room to apply makeup." ”
An's English has some Latin American accents, and she is worried that Zhou Linlang can't hear it clearly, and the other party deliberately slows down her speech. For An's kindness, Zhou Linlang gladly accepted it. Along the way, Zhou Linlang took the initiative to talk to Ann, starting from the weather that is least likely to make mistakes, which is a disguised thanks, and also to exercise his English and prepare for the future. Hollyhouse is the world film center, there are actors from all over the world, the same English with the characteristics of various countries, Zhou Linlang wants to develop here, language is the first level.
The two talked and laughed all the way to the No. 2 dressing room, and An, who had become an acquaintance, helped Zhou Linlang find a makeup artist and stylist more enthusiastically. With An's face, the makeup artist and stylist are all powerful teachers in the No. 2 dressing room, and the final result also made Zhou Linlang very satisfied.
Zhou Linlang thought that the crew would get her a set of yellow robes with gossip patterns printed on her back (referring to the robes of those who abducted and deceived Taoist priests in movies such as zombie Taoist chiefs), but she didn't expect it to be an improved version of the robe. The inside is a moon-white undershirt, and the outside is a semi-slim robe, without a head-sized gossip pattern, and the clothes are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, which is very elegant. There are only two accessories, one is a gossip compass hanging from the waist, and the other is a peachwood sword that is carried behind the back. It is a real peachwood sword, and it is said that the screenwriter personally went to Chinatown to find it for a long time before buying it. With a Dao girl's head on her head and Baina shoes on her feet, plus most of this, and then painting dusty nude makeup, it is simply a fairy in a fairy cultivation drama, and he would not think of a feng shui master at all.
Now Zhou Linlang especially suspects that the person who designed this makeup must be a fan of Xianxia dramas, no, he only watches Xianxia dramas, or who will dress up a feng shui master as a fairy.
"Wow, that's beautiful!"
"It's so beautiful. ”
"When Sister Linda designed this dress, we all thought it was not sexy at all, it was very ugly, but I didn't expect to wear it with a sense of abstinence/desire, uniform temptation. ”
"No, I'm going to make one too. Show it to my boyfriend, and he must have a green light in his eyes. ”
"I want one too. ”
"Me too. Ask Sister Linda if you can make one for us. Can't do it, can you give us permission. ”
"I'll ask, I'm going to report to Sister Linda in the afternoon. Now let's count how many people want clothes, report to me on the phone, and forget it after 12 o'clock. ”
"Good. ”
"Yes, give me one. ”
"Me too. ”
"Ann, do you want it?"
"Forget it, I don't want this. ”
When the No. 2 dressing room was discussing new clothes, Ann took Zhou Linlang to the No. 3 conference room. On the way, Ann didn't forget to diss the women in dressing room No. 2.
"A group of guys who don't have self-knowledge, really think that anyone looks good in this dress, and they don't look at their own conditions, just like them, they must be ugly to wear. Ann pouted, "It's impossible for Sister Linda to let her design be worn on them, it's a waste at all." ”
Zhou Linlang raised her eyebrows, a little curious about this Linda. Ann and the women in the dressing room should look down on each other in private, but everyone respects Linda, and the "sister" is willing.
"Ms. Linda is the designer of the clothes?"
"yes. Sister Linda is Hua Guotong, with good people and good craftsmanship, and she is very famous in the circle. Ann mentioned Linda, and a smile naturally appeared on her face, "Anyway, Sister Linda is very nice, I can't describe her one percent." I still remember when I first came to the crew, the crew deliberately tossed me because of my accent, Sister Linda not only helped me out, but also accompanied me to practice speaking, and recommended me like Director George. Sister Linda is my benefactor. ”
Zhou Linlang raised her eyebrows, wondering if she had heard something she shouldn't have heard. Is it okay to tell yourself this outsider like this kind of crew contradiction? Or does Ann think that her English is terrible and she can't understand what she says?
Zhou Linlang kept smiling and didn't interject. Fortunately, An didn't have the idea of chatting with Zhou Linlang in depth, she was just complaining to herself, sighing at her benefactor by the way, and she didn't mean to communicate with Zhou Linlang at all.
"It's a pity, Sister Linda went to country V to collect style, and she is not in the crew for the time being, otherwise I will definitely introduce you to each other. Trust me, you will be captivated by Sister Linda's charm. ”
Zhou Linlang continued to smile.
Along the way, Zhou Linlang listened to the touting of "Linda", and made up an image of a colorful Mary Sue in her brain, almost blinding her eyes. Alas, the lethality of such a thing as brain-dead powder is too great for ordinary people to hold. Fortunately, the road to Conference Room No. 3 was not long, otherwise, Zhou Linlang felt that he must be crazy.
Conference Room 3 was just a small room, and Ann sent Zhou Linlang to the door and stayed at the door, letting Zhou Linlang go in by herself. Zhou Linlang understood that she was going to audition after entering, so she quickly patted her clothes, sorted out her clothes and expressions, and then pushed open the door with a solemn face.
