Chapter 327: Press Conference
"Eight Sentient Beings" has been submitted for review in the later stage, and the summer schedule has been set, Wang Zi'an has stopped paying attention to it since he delivered the theme song to Wang Xie and has completely put it down.
Now, he's going to go all out with this movie - The Dark Knight.
Before the press conference began, Wang Zi'an really got to know the leading actor Bell under the introduction of Nolan.
"Dear King, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Although Bell is European and American, he is not as tall as Wang Zi'an, and he held Wang Zi'an's hand very warmly, and gently touched Wang Zi'an's shoulder.
"I'm glad to meet you, Bell, too. Wang Zi'an greeted Bell in English.
Bell was surprised, he thought that the beautiful girl next to Wang Zi'an was a translator and would help Wang Zi'an translate.
But he was wrong.
Wang Zi'an knows English, can listen and speak.
This surprised Bell.
It's like a Hollywood actor who went to the mainland to film in a previous life, can speak Chinese, and is very proficient, how can the mainland actor not be surprised?
"My dear king, you speak English, which makes me feel doubly dear, and I must have two drinks tonight. Bale's eyes lit up, originally he thought that Wang Zi'an had entered the crew of "The Dark Knight" by relationship or chance.
I didn't expect it, probably not.
Wang Zi'an's English is very good, and he has an advantage in this regard.
When promoting, it was said that Wang Zi'an knew English and was very proficient, at least North American fans must be very happy and had a good impression of him.
"I grew up in English, and I have a friend who grew up speaking English in the past year. Wang Zi'an fooled over.
"Haha, I know, Cousin Ivanka. Bell smiled, gentleman, and hearty.
"Yes, I can speak English to this extent, and Cousin Ivanka owes a lot of it. Wang Zi'an also smiled, it seems that either Bell has done a lot of homework, or Ivanka is becoming more and more famous in Europe and the United States, and many people know her relationship with him.
At this time, Allen, the actor of the third character of "The Dark Knight", also arrived at the press conference.
"Hi, Bell, and dear Wang. "Alan came over to greet Bell and Wang Zi Ann, and he was very welcoming.
"You're going to be late, Alan. Bell and Alan seem to know each other, and the greetings are more casual.
Wang Zi'an also greeted Alan politely, still in English.
Allen's eyes widened, can he speak English?
It is said that the actors from Daewoo are more arrogant, but the prince in front of him is very good at talking and getting along.
Originally, Alan and Bell were a little unhappy after receiving this drama and knowing that No. 2 was played by Daewoo.
They don't really like to work with Daewoo's actors.
Because that is not only stressful, but also awkward.
It is very painful for European and American actors to play against Daewoo's actors.
You speak Chinese, I speak English, and more than eighty percent of them can't understand each other's lines.
Although I read the script in advance and knew the content of the other party's lines, when I was actually shooting, the other party spoke a language that I didn't understand, which was a particularly unpleasant feeling.
Bell and Allen know Chinese, but they still have a long way to go before they can communicate Chinese barrier-free.
The two sides of the play can speak their lines in English, so that they can show 100% acting skills.
"In the play, I will use English to say the lines, but in post-production, maybe the director will find a voice actor. Daewoo was released there, and the dubbing of the Chinese version was done by me. Wang Zi'an was the first to say what Bell and Allen had been worried about.
"Oh, king, are you telling the truth?" said Bell, in surprise.
Alan also looked incredulous.
This is like a Hollywood actor in the previous life who went to the mainland to film and spoke in Chinese.
It's so admirable and surprising!
"Ha, if you speak well, it is the credit of Cousin Ivanka, and if you don't speak well, please bear with me. Wang Zi'an said humbly.
Bell patted Wang Zi'an on the shoulder and said happily: "Wang, your English is really good, I believe in your English line skills." I'm looking forward to turning on the camera and meeting you on the battlefield. ”
Nolan, who had already gone to prepare for the press conference, took the time not far away to look at Wang Zi'an and their side, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that the prince would rely on his identity as a Daewoo person and be arrogant in the crew.
Although that is in line with the consistent style of most Daewoo actors in foreign crews, it affects the atmosphere of the crew very much.
Just like the big names in the crew playing big names on the set, it is difficult for the director and crew to do it.
After a while, Maggie, the heroine of "The Dark Knight", also arrived.
Maggie knew early on that the number two character was an actor from Daewoo, and after some exchanges, she was shocked that Wang Zi'an spoke English so well.
It's not the kind of thing you learn a few words on the fly during propaganda.
In the previous life, Hollywood blockbusters were about to be released in the mainland, and Hollywood actors attended mainland premieres, met with mainland audiences, and said a word or two in Chinese to make fans climax.
Wang Zi'an speaks English so well that Maggie wants to when she hears it now.
She can foresee that in the future, fans in Europe and the United States will know how happy they will be to know that he can speak fluent English.
At the beginning of the press conference, there were many reporters present.
Nolan's appeal is not yet the biggest director in Hollywood, but it is also a top ten existence.
At the same time, because the backstage is very hard, the reporters invited are all arranged in advance.
What questions reporters want to ask, they are basically communicated in advance.
Therefore, the reporter first threw the question to Nolan, the director, at the beginning.
Nolan replied decently.
After Nolan finished answering, the reporter began to "attack" the actor.
"Zi'an Wang, what do you feel about coming all the way to Hollywood to film, and what do you need to say to everyone?" The first interview object of the reporter was not the leading actor Bell, but Wang Zi'an, and the language used to ask questions was still Chinese.
Wang Zi'an was a little surprised, and said in English: "This lady, in fact, you can ask questions in English, I don't think my English is very good, but I think it should be able to be used to communicate with everyone, the kind that is very smooth." In addition, there is a big problem with your Chinese grammar, and you still need to work hard to learn Chinese well. ”
There was silence at the press conference, and the reporters were shocked.
Wang Zi'an actually speaks English so well!
Immediately, the scene erupted in good-natured laughter.
The female reporter who interviewed Wang Zi'an in Chinese was all red, and the stuffing that was not good in Chinese was exposed.
If Europeans and Americans say this about her, she still dares to scold the other party.
You say that if I have a problem with Chinese grammar, I have a problem?
Is your Chinese grammar okay?
But now it's Wang Zi'an who said it, and the female reporter can't go back.
Bell, and the others burst into laughter.
This Wang Zi'an is very approachable and seems to be very good at dealing with reporters.
It's a very good start, but I don't know how the acting is.
