Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Journey of Playing Soy Sauce (Part II) (Part 1)
Wang Yanlin was actually a little worried.
Recently, Sino-US relations have not been very normal, and he is worried about Hollywood's attitude towards the Chinese...
Or the attitude of the whole United States: you can't laugh at blacks, because you can't be racist.
But Asians can be laughed at because of freedom of speech!
Dish Cooking and Freedom, America...
Before coming, he investigated a lot of things on the Internet, and then learned about Lee Byung-hun's story - it was not about anal prolapse, it was about him being discriminated against by Hollywood...
Many of my peers don't look at me because I'm Asian. One time I tried to introduce myself and shake hands with them, but they ignored me and walked away from me. ’
Including Zhang Ziyi also spit bitterness: 'Hollywood, good roles, good content, would rather be given to black people than to Asian actors. ’
So, he's mentally prepared!
Discriminate against me, one day you people will kneel in front of me and call me daddy!
……
At seven o'clock in the morning, Lao Wang was woken up by the alarm clock, and quickly took a shower, ready to take a taxi to the crew, and then found that Zhao Liang and his translator Li Tianshu were already downstairs...
"King!"
“… Are you waiting for me?"
"That's right, Shen told us, it's your first time working with a Hollywood crew, and you're not familiar with many things, so let's lead you to the set first!"
"Thank you!"
Wang Yanlin was very moved, and then asked, "What about Shen Ming?"
"He gets up at six o'clock every morning... Exercise, build muscle, and run to the set!"
“… Run?"
"It's okay, there's a car following him, you don't care about him, what do you want to eat?"
Wang Yanlin was a little embarrassed: "You had a treat last night, and today I will invite..."
Zhao Liang waved his hand: "Don't worry, all expenses can be repaid by Shen Ming..."
"Huh?"
"You think the 20 million club is a joke?"
Li Tianshu continued: "Brother Ming not only has the right to suggest characters in the entire crew, but also has the right to modify lines!"
"Drama bully?"
"No... He's not even at the level of a drama bully..."
Zhao Liang smiled and didn't explain more, but explained to him the precautions on the set, compared with China:
For example, Hollywood studios pay attention to the right to speak in each field, the division of labor is meticulous, and the rights of film dealers and production companies are greater than those of directors;
Generally speaking, the director has no right to tell the story, no right to pick actors, no right to edit, people arrange everything properly, and the director is only responsible for holding the shots...
However, "Jumanji" is special, the screenwriter and director are Jack Carsdan, and the producer and producer Matthew Thomasdge is Jack Carsdan's nobleman, and it was Matthew Thomaschi's support that Jack Carsdan can serve as the director of "Battle in the Jungle"...
The first "Battle in the Jungle" was a huge success, and the second part, Jack Kasdan's rights will definitely rise a little...
Also, they gave an important piece of advice: "Be sure to speak often, even if you don't understand, you have to interject, otherwise, no one will take the initiative to talk to you!"
Lao Wang nodded: "I remember." ”
……
When he arrived at the set, director Jack Kasdan was discussing the shooting with cinematographer Gyula-Pados, and noticed Wang Yanlin beside Zhao Liang, and walked over enthusiastically: "Hi, Wang!"
"Hello, Director..."
"You speak good English!"
"I found a teacher to tutor for a long time before I came..."
"Haha, Shen praised you as a flower!"
“… I'll try!"
"Looking forward to your performance. ”
After a few words, Jack Kasdan continued to discuss with photographer Gyula-Pados...
Lao Wang is a little confused, doesn't he say that foreigners are very discriminatory against Chinese?
Zhao Liang didn't know his psychological experience, and patted Wang Yanlin on the shoulder: "Let's go, eat something... Hey, Michael Pena!"
"Louis from Ant-Man?"
Michael Pena has already come over: "Man, you are tall and strong, Shen is also tall and strong, oh my God, are the Chinese so tall"
Wang Yanlin didn't understand what he said at all, Michael spoke in a special rhythm, slipped a lot of chatter, and finally said: "Hello, you can call me Michael!"
“… Hello, Michael!"
"Hello, Wang, do you know kung fu?"
"A little..."
"OK, it's Shen who is fighting you anyway..."
Michael Pena patted him on the shoulder and left...
Lao Wang turned his head and was about to speak, but when he saw Zhao Liang and Li Tianshu looking at him with strange expressions, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
"The next time a foreigner asks you if you understand Chinese kung fu, you just say that of course you understand, don't say you understand a little!"
“??”
"Just say it!"
Zhao Liang didn't explain in detail, and led him to the restaurant.
……
The script of "Fighting the Peak Again" is probably the most Wang Yanlin has ever seen... Simple script.
That is, a few people enter the game unintentionally, and then they have to clear the level before they can leave, a very simple adventure game.
The role he plays is, the little boss of the third level, there is a small soldier under his hand, responsible for sending experience, and then, he personally shoots, and the fight hangs up for two minutes...
I don't have much presence...
But he was already very satisfied, Fat Bing's "X-Men: Future Past" that year, it didn't take more than a minute to show his face...
This will be the first step for him Wang Yanlin to conquer Hollywood!
In the dressing room, several special effects artists were busy doing tricks and feet on his face, and Shen Ming pushed the door and walked in: "Lao Wang!"
“… Why are you here?"
"Look at you... How does it feel?"
"It's okay, the crew is very enthusiastic!"
"Nonsense, I would have let it go a long time ago, you are my brother, do they dare not be enthusiastic!"
After chatting for a few words, Shen Ming left...
His role begins immediately...
The actor arrived in the morning and tossed for more than an hour to get ready.
When everything was OK, the leading actors were on standby, and the group actors understood their role, Jack Castle sat down in the director's chair...
“READY?READY?”
“ACTION!”
A simple shout, the filming officially started...
When Wang Yanlin came out of the dressing room, he happened to see Shen Ming shouting in horror, shouting, and at the same time stepping on the spot with precision, making a running motion...
On the screen next to it, the motion capture node and the corresponding background screen are transmitted in real time - this technology is so awesome that it can randomly adjust the actor's position...
Not only that, but I also saw Karen Gillan's stand-in hanging Weiya swinging around on Shen Ming's head...
“… Wow slot... This is the industrial process in Hollywood?"
Wang Yanlin was a little excited...
“GOOD!”
Jack Castle was pleased with this and said, "Next!"
“ACTION!”
The next step is the daily mutual confrontation...
"I still can't believe it, this is a game world?"
“… Grandpa, this is really the game world, and if we want to go back to the real world, we have to beat the whole game!"
