Chapter 623: Passionate
Phoebe and Barbara's TT91 could use any airfield in the U.S. sphere of influence, including military airfields, so instead of landing in Las Vegas, they landed at a small military airfield directly north of Desert New City, which was built to monitor a nuclear test site farther away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After landing, the two got on a small helicopter, to be honest, Barbara was a little apprehensive at first that Phoebe could fly a helicopter so quickly, but after she actually flew, she found that Phoebe was still the one who learned everything very quickly.
The two took a helicopter back to their accommodation in Desert New Town for two days, and then set off again to pick up people in Las Vegas.
Taeyeon went to the United States this time with those Chinese actors in Beijing, to be honest, the company was very annoyed by Barbara's arrangement for Taeyeon to go to Beijing to meet with Chinese actors first, but they also knew that they really had no jurisdiction over this matter, which made them determined to strengthen the management of other artists' affairs, at least not like Girls' Generation, where the company could not control the artist's schedule.
As for why Saman is annoyed by Taeyeon's first trip to Beijing, it's very simple, because there has been a lot of debate on the Korean Internet about Girls' Generation recently, and some of them said that Girls' Generation is pro-China, which is a bit unfavorable to Girls' Generation, which is showing signs of releasing a new record.
That's right, the South Korean Internet is now even sensitive to the extent that Taeyeon's trip to Beijing with other Chinese actors will reverse the current level of public opinion.
When the time comes, it is natural that the company that wants to bring Girls' Generation to the market again - of course, whether it is Universal Music or Barbara, on the surface, it still saves enough face for the company, at least without Taeyeon to go to China quietly.
As mentioned earlier, although Taeyeon is not good at Chinese, she is still quite easy to get along with others, plus Phoebe has a different characteristic from other directors, she shoots to stimulate the actor's non-professional acting skills - that is, she always has a way to make the actor feel an atmosphere, so that the actor can perform in his true colors when performing. Therefore, as one of the personal maids of Miss Six in the film, the Chinese actor of Sanxi has a very good relationship with Taeyeon in private, and for Sanxi, in reality, taking care of Taeyeon, who does not understand Chinese, as Miss Six, does not have too much psychological burden.
As some Chinese actors have described: "These two have become good friends before they know it." ”
Therefore, because of Samhee's care along the way, Taeyeon did not feel any discomfort.
In fact, what everyone doesn't know is that when Phoebe first selected actors through a psychological questionnaire, she considered that by shooting movies, she would help Taeyeon also establish contacts in the performing arts system of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Obviously, Phoebe's plan is still very effective, and if you look closely at the script, you can know that there may be characters in the script who hate Phoebe playing Sihei, but none of the characters hate Taeyeon.
It was late when the plane landed at Las Vegas Airport, and of course they knew that the director and her assistant had personally brought a convoy to pick them up, which made everyone very grateful, while Taeyeon was a little unhappy - the reason was very simple, she was still worried about the song, although Sunny's guidance made her stop drilling this bull's horn, but Taeyeon is like this, as long as one thing appears in her life, she will remember it for a long time.
And there's only one reason she's not happy with Phoebe - you're not there when I need you most!
Of course, this is not to say that there is a relationship between Taeyeon and Phoebe, but every time something happens before, Phoebe will appear in time, making Taeyeon subconsciously rely on Phoebe more than she thinks. And when Taeyeon realizes that she is a little dissatisfied with the upcoming Phoebe because she wants to meet her, she is also a little surprised - what the hell is wrong with me?
Was it bent by Phoebe?
However, every time in the dormitory, we break the Phoebe who doesn't resist......
Taeyeon is a little distressed, I don't know why I'm like this, I'm obviously very straight, and I discussed my favorite actor with Sam-hee on the plane......
After meeting Phoebe with mixed feelings, Taeyeon unexpectedly behaved a little reserved, and the Chinese actors were very grateful for Phoebe's arrangement - you know, this time they came to the United States not only themselves, Phoebe also invited everyone's family members.
Phoebe is like the leader of a tour group, first took a cadre of people to the hotel that has been booked a long time ago, and then arranged a reception in accordance with the rules of the Chinese, it can be said that the family members and boyfriends and girlfriends of those actors who saw Phoebe for the first time with their own eyes, all feel that Phoebe is simply born and raised in China, and some of the rules of China are simply clear, which also closes everyone's relationship with Phoebe, although she can't remember people, but Chinese is like this, as long as it is Chinese, always naturally feel a little close, if this Chinese can not only speak their hometown dialect, but also know some of the unspoken rules of Chinese exchanges, it will feel closer, not to mention that Phoebe is both beautiful and young, and is the director of the movie, which also makes the Chinese who can't help but like this authority when they show pro-people behavior to authoritative figures, and feel more cordial to Phoebe.
Of course, Director Song has one bad thing, that is, he doesn't drink at all, well, no matter how authoritative people are, they are also little girls, and they can't persuade a little girl to drink bars.
When everyone was almost finished, Phoebe stood at the front desk and said with a microphone: "Then, let's explain." We're going on tomorrow as usual, so you'll be able to stay in Las Vegas for the time being. Of course, I'll send you back to your family after the shoot is over. Of course, the Christmas bonus that I said before will also be given to you at Christmas. Today, you will stay here, and tomorrow I will arrange for someone to bring your relatives and friends to simply visit the surroundings of Las Vegas first, see the scenery, and eat delicious food. Of course, rest assured, the person I arranged will not take you shopping, unless you really want to go. ”
"Hahaha~"
Phoebe added: "Everyone is my invited guest, so I want to see everyone come happily, play happily, and then go home satisfied." But as you know, this is the United States, which is a little different from China, and there are some things that must be explained in advance. In Las Vegas, there are areas that are indeed more dangerous, and specific place names and map representations will be given later. At the same time, there are other neighborhoods that are not very dangerous, but there are still some surprises, because in the United States, there are some things that I can't say, so let's explain it in another way. ”
Some of the people present still haven't understood, but some have also understood, and Director Song is announcing the safety precautions during the game.
I only heard Phoebe say again: "In this explanation, we divide people's values into ten intervals from 0 to 9, because we want to explain to you, so your values are defined as 4-6 intervals, and the definition principle is for you to understand by yourself." In the area that I just mentioned, if you see black people, please talk about the 0-2 range that they think they have, and some South Asians define it as a 7-8 range, which means that as the deviation from the 4-6 range increases, the danger will increase accordingly, I know, this way of explaining this is a bit tricky, but our movie is going to be released in the United States, and this year's president is black, so you should understand that we can't make mistakes in that regard. ”
The audience nodded their heads, although when they were in China, they saw that the United States elected a black president, and everyone was happy and questioned, but in general, it was none of their business, just standing in the distance and watching the excitement, but now it is different, everyone in the United States is just for fun, in case there is really danger, who to reason with? Although Director Song said this, although everyone's enthusiasm for playing was somewhat discouraged, it is undeniable that Director Song is not like some domestic officials, who whitewash everything and are peaceful, but actively think of ways to let everyone understand that it is good to pay attention to protecting themselves.
And according to what Director Song said, I am afraid that because of the coming to power of a black president, some of the things that could be said before have become taboos, and this taboo may even affect the release of the film, but Director Song did not ignore the problem because of this, but actively tried to remind everyone and avoid the blocking of the release of the film due to certain remarks.
Phoebe said at this time: "Maybe everyone thinks I'm a little noisy, but I understand that Chinese people are not very sensitive to the topic of discrimination." China was once called the sick man of East Asia for a long time, and later learned in the arduous struggle that if you are discriminated against, you should first review what you have done badly, and if others continue to discriminate, it is that others are red-eyed, so most of the time Chinese will not complain about other people's discrimination, and rarely include discrimination in a completely untouchable taboo. At this point, I am afraid that only Israel and Chinese have the same psychological characteristics in the world, but it is undeniable that on the American side, such topics have become more and more taboo, so for the sake of our film, everyone knows it in their hearts. ”
Everyone nodded, and the actor who played Tong Guan said loudly at this time: "Director, don't worry, we can understand your difficulties, and we also understand who should be careful." ”
Phoebe smiled and nodded, and said: "There is another thing to remind everyone, some of you may know, some may not know, in the United States, the boundaries of the police's law enforcement power are very different from those in China, and if anything happens, if the police tell you to stop, don't take the initiative to approach the police and try to explain as in China." It is very important to listen to the police before you act. In the United States, the people believe that they have any rights other than paying taxes and voting, but most of them still do not disobey the police, because the police, like the military, are the guardians of the U.S. Constitution, not the people. In China, the people know that in addition to the rights guaranteed by the state, they also have an obligation to give back to the country, but the PLA and the people's police are the guardians of the people first and then the Constitution. So some things that happen in China simply cannot happen in the United States, and what happens in the United States is just as impossible to happen in China. Therefore, it is important to remember that do not risk your own life to verify the law enforcement power of the American police, from a certain point of view, if a Chinese tourist is killed by the police in the United States, it is a loss for China, and it is difficult for the United States to have such a loss in China. So, when you encounter a problem, please think differently, for the sake of China, be careful when encountering American police. ”
In fact, when Phoebe went to Wenchuan to perform and proposed to sing "For Whom", everyone felt that Phoebe seemed to admire Chinese soldiers, but they didn't expect Phoebe to be able to explain the difference between Chinese soldiers and police and the United States so clearly, it seems that Phoebe has a good impression of the People's Liberation Army at least for a reason.
With honor.
Those of you here are both Chinese and actors from the military system, and they are very happy to be said by Phoebe, and they feel a little blushing at Phoebe's praise of the People's Liberation Army and the police - you are a foreigner, although you are of Chinese descent, so touting the People's Liberation Army, you simply don't love the United States!
In fact, Phoebe really didn't tout it, because whether it is the document or the oath of the army and the police, it reflects the difference in the service goals of the disciplined forces of the two countries, which is why the PLA rescue is said to set off, and the US military rescue in the country is also the same as fighting in the Middle East, even wearing body armor.
Barbara was also at the venue, and she quickly figured out what Phoebe was talking about through mobile phone translation software, but she didn't think China had anything good in this regard, after all, in the eyes of foreigners, only by protecting the constitution can fairness and justice be more guaranteed, and the people, many times, are blindly and easily instigated, just like Phoebe is doing now.
That's right, Barbara could see that Phoebe was inciting and guiding these Chinese, and these poor Chinese didn't see it at all, but looked at Phoebe with excitement and appreciation.
Of course, Barbara is not stupid enough to contradict Phoebe, she is more happy that Phoebe can guide these people so easily through speeches, although Phoebe said that she does not want to be a politician, and the leadership of Titan is also commercial, but the people of Titan do not think so, they are very willing to let Phoebe really lead them.
At the same time, Barbara also appreciates Phoebe's proposed method of judging security according to values, because as Phoebe said, with the new black president coming to power, the United States will sooner or later fall into a strange circle of discrimination by mentioning blackness.
The values of people who can rob or even kill people can't be the same as those of people who work hard, right?
So, Barbara thought about it and decided to save what Phoebe said in the instant translation software that she had recorded for translation, well, go back and ask Phoebe if she wanted to release her words. She felt that Phoebe could take advantage of this to gain more -- of course, in the Republican Party, the perception of Phoebe's appearance as a Chinese would also improve -- knowing that the biggest anti-China forces in the United States were actually the most right-wing members of the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party.
Of course, there are quite a few anti-China forces within the Democratic Party, but they are more accustomed to opposing China through direct action, and on the surface, their harm is higher than that of the Republican Party, but in real comparison, they are still different -- the Republican Party is opposed to China and Chinese Americans in the United States, while the Democratic Party is mainly concentrated in Chinese Americans.
Again, of course, there is also such a distinction within the diplomatic bloc, Phoebe's family mainly regards China as a civilized object to deal with, and they will only insist on their own interests and will not be brainless anti-China, so Phoebe's previous suggestions to Mira will not be thrown into the trash, but will be secretly taken out for discussion.
And Phoebe, from a certain point of view, can also belong to the anti-China camp, but she belongs to the leftist of the camp - the reason is very simple, whether it is Titan or Onclerod's technology, she will not leak to China, let alone help China obtain any technology, although Angcleud will secretly sell manganese tuberculosis to the Chinese, but that is also for Oncastron's space program, to be precise, Titan's space program to reduce obstacles.
Again, Phoebe will only do what is only beneficial to herself according to the plan deduced from the logic, and will not be impulsive and emotionally swayed.
Of course, when it comes to girlhood, she still seems to be quite impulsive and emotional, but everyone thinks that if that's the case, wouldn't it be good?
In the banquet hall, after Phoebe finished speaking, everyone present fell into a short silence, these Chinese actors felt that Phoebe was the most loyal representative of an overseas traveler who missed his motherland, and even many people felt that they should help Director Song promote their combination more or less when they went back, and through so many days of cooperation, Taeyeon's cute performance was also seen by everyone, and they felt that it was still acceptable for such Koreans to come to China.
"Okay!" Someone suddenly shouted, and then said: "Director, we all know that you don't drink, so that's fine, just say what you just said, we will toast you!
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Director!
Not only the actors, but also most of the family members were instigated by Phoebe very happy, so they also joined in the fun.
Phoebe smiled unhurriedly and said, "Okay, I see you just want to take the opportunity to let me drink, so I'm not so stupid, okay, I'm done, let's continue to eat and drink." ”
So, someone coaxed again: "Director, you really don't drink!?"
"That's the director, it's okay to drink a sip of red wine!"
"What kind of heart do you guys have! The director is not yet an adult, if she drinks in the United States, she will be arrested by the police, and the United States is really a part of China!?"
"Hahaha~~"
The atmosphere was very warm, and it was not cold at all because of Phoebe's warning words just now, but was pushed to another peak.
Phoebe returned to her seat, Barbara glanced at Phoebe and said, "They force you to drink again, how can Chinese drink like the football players in the college party." ”
Phoebe shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's because they approve of me, if I really pick up a glass of wine, they themselves will stop me, do you believe it or not?"
Barbara pursed her lips and nodded, "I believe everything you say." ”
On the other side of Phoebe, Taeyeon blushed, yes, she drank, not that someone forced her, but Sanxi drank with her, she didn't understand Phoebe's words just now, so she grabbed Phoebe's hand and asked, "What did you just say?"
"I asked everyone to pay attention to safety, my sister is not necessary, we are going to South Korea to shoot the MV after filming, and we will not stay in Las Vegas with them. ”
"Tell me about it~" Taeyeon is coquettish.
Sanxi interjected at this time: "Phoebe, they are going to come over to toast you, don't worry, if anyone dares to force you to drink, we women who can hold up half the sky will not let them succeed." ”
"Well, thank you. ”
And Taeyeon shouted depressedly: "Ah~~~ I can't understand what you guys are talking about, I'm so depressed~~~~"
Sam-hee patiently explained to Taeyeon, and she was so drunk with Taeyeon that she blushed and forgot that Phoebe could speak Korean and explain it to Taeyeon-so that Phoebe felt more like a patriotic Chinese just now......
