Chapter 253: This Man Is Fourteen Thousand Years Old
Just after July, Jiangcheng was filled with a breath of heat.
The special geographical location makes the summer of Jiangcheng feel hot and humid, and when you sweat a little, it is sticky and annoying.
At the beginning of July, "This Man from Earth" started filming in Wang Xiaobai's newly bought villa.
"This Man is from Earth" is said to be science fiction, but there is no special effects in the whole article, and all the shots are several people sitting in a room, lying on the sofa, and unfolding with dialogue.
So it's not difficult to shoot.
He is also not very picky about the acting skills of the actors.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be here, and today I'm announcing that the film 'This Man Is from Earth' has officially begun. Sorry, there was no celebration ball. Wang Xiaobai said, Bai Lu was translating on the side, and several people smiled.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this is a movie, I ask you to relax and treat it as if this was just a tea party to show off your respective styles. ”
These are all vegans, Wang Xiaobai is afraid that they will show timidity in front of the camera, and turn their good lines into "recitation", which will be very embarrassing.
"I think I can try. ”
"Don't worry, man, I'm a professional ......," a special actor who has made cameo appearances in some movies said with confidence.
"Okay, let's try to shoot first, and let's start shooting with the second scene. ”
Wang Xiaobai said, let the scene of several positions ready.
There are white people, black people, and Wang Xiaobai, the yellow-skinned male protagonist in this play.
Otherwise, it's okay, it's Wang Xiaobai, a yellow-skinned person, who is the protagonist, revealing a weird feeling.
After all, the protagonist claims to have lived for 14,000 years, from the age of the mammoth to this era......
If this is the case, then there should have been yellow people on the continent of Europe and the United States in the early days.
But in fact, when the yellow race first appeared on the European continent, it should be the time of Genghis Khan.
So that's a bit of a contradiction.
But when you think about it, a person can live for 14,000 years, so does it matter what skin color he is?
"This Man is from Earth" starts indoors except for the first few minutes with exterior scenes.
The reason why this group of people came together was simple: their best friend, John Oldman, suddenly asked to leave one day, which was unacceptable to them. So, they needed John to give them an explanation.
As a result, a casual conversation similar to a pre-dinner party became a movie.
And the information that John revealed in this conversation also shocked them.
He claimed to have lived for 14,000 years, he had witnessed the climatic changes and geological changes, he had hunted reindeer and mammoths for a living, he had mingled with the Babylonians of Hammurabi in the valley of the two rivers, he had sailed the Mediterranean as a Phoenician, Christopher Columbus had been his captain, Van Gogh, Turner, Cézanne, and Picasso had been his friends, he had listened to the teachings of Shakyamuni, and he had identified in the name of Jesus what he had not said······
The reason for his departure is also very simple, that is, he cannot live in the same place for ten years, otherwise his secret cannot be concealed.
And today, perhaps tired of his long life, or perhaps unable to accept the tireless change of identity, he chose to be honest about everything before leaving.
And this man with ten doctorates, no matter how dazzling his previous achievements were, what he said at the moment only made people feel that he was so absurd.
The camera has been set up.
"John, we're all sorry you're gone, really. After the crowd toasted and expressed their blessings to John, historian Art Jenkins said with regret, then shrugged his shoulders and looked a little bored, saying, "Okay, so what should I do about the rest of the time?"
"Who's looking for an interesting topic?" said Harry, a biologist.
At this moment, the anthropologist Dan suddenly picked up a stone tool that John had placed in the room, and said with interest, "How about this?"
"What is this?" asked Edith, a devout Christian.
Wang Xiaobai said in a flat tone: "This is a parrot beak-shaped chisel (zan, four sounds) knife. ”
"In terms of 'approach, it should be the former Magdelins. Dan, the anthropologist, took the stone, studied it carefully, and made his own inferences.
"Can I take a look?"
"Of course ......"
"Click!"
At this moment, Wang Xiaobai suddenly interrupted.
He said to the black actor who played the historian, "Dude, your performance is real, but I hope 'you can be a little more natural.'" For example, when you give an inference about the historical age of the stone, you should look at the stone carefully, instead of always trying to find the location of the camera...... Don't worry, the camera will find your location. ”
For the first performance, Wang Xiaobai was not very satisfied.
But he also knows that due to cultural surprises, the beauties are used to affirming and encouraging before denying something, so he can only follow the local customs.
The black actor shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically, "Sorry, I can't be too relaxed yet, please give me some time and let me try again." ”
"Okay, then please do it again......"
……
"John, what the hell is going on? Are you a wanted criminal? We're not going to send you high. 'In a slightly dreary atmosphere', everybody hoped that 'John would be honest.
Harry, the biologist closest to John, asked, making an American joke and trying to create a dull atmosphere.
"yes,' John, speak up. ”
"It's all friends. ”
"Nosy Friend ......"
"You're creating suspense, obviously you have something to say in your stomach, so let's say it. ”
A group of people join the questioning process, puzzled by John's plan to leave suddenly.
They are not willing to abandon this best friend.
Under the questioning of a group of people, John Wang, played by Wang Xiaobai, kept moving around the room, letting the camera record everyone's expressions.
"Maybe I'm ......" Under the questioning of a group, he seemed a little tangled and difficult to speak.
"Nineteen, eight, seven......" Harry was counting down for him, and the meaning of the question was very obvious.
"Well, that's ......what you seduce me to say," under the concerned gaze of a crowd of people, John sighed and began to tell the story of his long life: "I have never said it before, and I don't know what the consequences will be if I say it...... I want to ask you a stupid question. ”
"John, we're all teachers, answering silly questions every day. Archaeologist Art Jenkins makes an American joke, and the female companion next to him disagrees with his teasing.
"What do you think if there is a man who has lived from the ancient Stone Age to the present day?"
This sentence can be regarded as officially pulling the movie into the main topic.
As a result, a wonderful speculative dialogue based on science and natural common sense began······
