Chapter 167: Filming Begins

"Meng Xiaojun! ”

"Meng Xiaojun! ”

Meng Xiaojun, played by Deng Chao, hurriedly put down the dinner plate in his hand and hurriedly ran over to clean up his things. The plot here is that he was fired as an assistant by the professor in the laboratory, and he had to work as a waiter in a small restaurant to make ends meet.

"Meng Xiaojun. The restaurateur called out to him, still holding a wad of dollars in his hand.

"Huh. Meng Xiaojun agreed and ran over with anticipation. Then, I saw the boss stretch out his hand, and a few coins fell into his hand: "These are yours." After speaking, he walked out, leaving Meng Xiaojun with mixed tastes.

“Hei,please。 The guest sitting at the table next to him suddenly stretched out his hand, and Meng Xiaojun hurriedly ran over and asked when he saw it, "Is there anything I can help you, sir?" At the same time, the camera camera also turned around, revealing the appearance of the guest, isn't it Mu Ming who has changed into a shirt and formal suit.

Mu Ming, who called someone over, did not answer his inquiry. Instead, he asked in a questioning tone, "Student?"

"Yes. Deng Chao didn't know what this guest meant, so he subconsciously nodded and replied.

"Chinese?"

“…… Yes. ”

Mu Ming smiled at him, reached out and took out a five-dollar bill in his pocket, and quickly stuffed it into his hand. The background of the story here is 94 years, and the old version of the US dollar of 28 years is still used, and this banknote is specially made by the crew.

"I'm sorry, sir. We do not allow private tipping. Deng Chao hurriedly excused himself, he didn't want to lose his job.

"No, you deserve it. Mu Ming stood up, took the blazer outside, and blocked the banknote in Deng Chao's hand with the action of dressing.

"You're young enough to go far, but she'll only be here for the rest of her life. Mu Ming tilted her head and motioned to the restaurateur who secretly kept the tips given to Meng Xiaojun by the guests as his own.

Watching Deng Chao put away the banknotes, Mu Ming sorted out his clothes, turned around and took a step before turning back, and said to Deng Chao, who was still looking at him: "Also, in this world, it is not the United States that has dreams." After speaking, Deng Chao, who was stunned, smiled, turned his head and walked out.

"OK! It wasn't until Mu Ming was about to walk out of the door that Chen Kexin, who was behind the monitor, shouted.

"Hmm......" Everyone at the scene looked like a gift. Including those foreigner group performances, although they can't understand the "passed" in the back, they can still understand the "OK".

"How's it going, director, how am I acting?" Mu Ming happily ran to Chen Kexin, who was watching the replay, and asked excitedly.

In the original version of this plot, it was an American aunt who tipped Meng Xiaojun. However, because Mu Ming decided that in the future he will handle works, he must have his own dragon figure. So that American aunt was replaced by a Chinese guy.

In fact, from the point of view of persuasion, the old man's persuasiveness is obviously better than that of the young man, but Mu Ming has the advantage of nationality after all, and he also deliberately added the following line, which can also be said in the past.

"Hmm-" Chen Kexin looked at the replay of the camera for a long time, and said: "It's decent, it's still good." "The lines are clear, the position is standardized, and the acting is not dramatic, can you ask for more for a passerby role?

Many of the plots in "Chinese Partner" are adapted by Chen Kexin based on himself, or the real things of several domestic bigwigs. Like the plot of the restaurant that started the movie, Chen Kexin personally experienced it when he was in the United States.

Just like at the end of the original movie, Cheng Dongqing paid for the dismissal of Meng Xiaojun's laboratory and changed it to his name. Chen Kexin put this shot on the camera, probably in the same mood.

Not to mention his character, Deng Chao is still very good at acting when he is not acting in comedy, or in other words, when he is not directing comedy. So after this set of shots went through the scene twice, there was almost no NG, and it passed.

After the scene in the restaurant ended, the crew quickly switched scenes. In fact, in this plot in the United States, it is basically Meng Xiaojun's own role. Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang did not arrive in the United States until the final debate with ETS.

The only scene similar to Deng Chao is Su Mei played by Wan Qian.

When I came to the long-awaited United States, I found that the "American dream" was really just a dream. As a girl, the easiest way to realize this dream is to get rid of the boyfriend who is still in China and is penniless. Then, find a suitable American man again.

In the original plot, there is a deleted segment.

Su Mei went out with a friend, and the friend also brought two other people, one is her boyfriend and the other is a friend who drives. The American man driving on the road has been peeking at Su Mei through the rearview mirror, and the thoughtful Su Mei naturally understands what he wants to do. When they got to the place, the friend and boyfriend went for a wild swim, leaving Su Mei and the man behind. After a brief temptation, the two play a game of harmony in the wild.

I heard the raindrops falling on the green meadows......

Objective analysis, in fact, it is still necessary to add this plot to the plot. Whether it is the change in Su Mei's mood or the change in logic before and after, it is an important turning point.

The reason why this paragraph was deleted later is probably because I am worried that it will affect the atmosphere of the whole film, and I am also worried that some female viewers think that this is discrediting the image of women.

Well, although in those days, this was indeed a reality that often happened, but after all, the audience is modern, and they will still demand more with the thinking of the current era.

Therefore, any kind of literary and artistic works cannot completely copy reality.

Since it has to be deleted in the end, there is no need to waste production costs by filming it again. So when the script was finalized, Mu Ming suggested that this paragraph be deleted.

The only pity is that Miss Wan Qian doesn't have many scenes and even fewer scenes. Of course, she herself did not know this.

In fact, Mu Ming felt quite sorry for the young lady, and lied to her that she was playing the female number one, but the female number one was the female number one, but she didn't expect that there were male first, male second and male third in front.

Fortunately, Wan Qian was quite happy to act, and she was very interested in the role of Su Mei, a scheming girl with a completely different personality from herself.

But having said that, actors like Wan Ye, who focus on acting, seem to like to try roles that are very different from themselves.

In this regard, Mu Ming admires Teacher Ma Dehua the most.

Teacher Ma Dehua, the actor of Zhu Bajie in the old version of "Journey to the West", is a Hui person. (Just a joke.) )

In the early stage, it was mainly a separate shot of Deng Chao and Wan Qian, and both of them were actors with excellent business ability, so NG delays rarely occurred.

There is also a point that has to be mentioned, these group actors found by the Screen Actors Guild are really professional, and many of them are registered actors of the Screen Actors Guild. In other words, most of them have at least a rudimentary level of acting training and can handle some slightly more difficult shooting tasks.

Therefore, there is really a big gap between the entertainment industry system in China and Hollywood.

Because of these factors, the filming progress of the crew is very fast.

is almost there, Chen Kexin had to give the crew a holiday to slow down the filming.
