At the end of September, the filming of "The Funeral of the Big Names" was nearing completion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hollywood actor Brian Cranston left the capital to return to the United States, and his acting contract ends in October.

For him, it's just a job, and the actor gets paid for the play, and that's it.

In addition, he learned some about this oriental country, learned a few words of Chinese that he was not very proficient in, tasted strange Chinese food, and felt the living conditions of the people in this country.

It's just a general look, and I didn't leave a deep impression.

He hopes that the film can be released in North America, and it is best to have a certain impact, otherwise it will not help him much in his acting career.

Back in Hollywood, he will continue to play supporting roles in TV series.

"Lao Bu is not bad, but he loves to be more serious, and he has always wanted to understand the script, but in the end, I guess he is still confused, the cultural differences between the two countries are too great. Feng Xiaogang commented.

This is the truth, the Chinese culture is broad and profound, and foreigners can't understand it without more than ten years of hard work.

A simple single sentence can have several meanings, not to mention foreigners, even the Chinese themselves sometimes know a little bit about it, and it is too difficult to understand it in two or three months.

Cultural differences are something that cannot be seen or touched, but they are real.

"This shows that our script is not straightforward enough, even Hollywood actors are worried, not to mention those American audiences, we must be mentally prepared, this film is enough in the United States. Lin Zixuan gave Feng Xiaogang a vaccination.

He knew that Feng Xiaogang had expectations for "The Funeral of a Big Shot", but the reality was in front of him and was not transferred by personal will.

"I've never worked with Hollywood actors before, but this collaboration made me think about it, this cultural difference can't be made up by Hollywood actors, you have to really work on the story. Feng Xiaogang agreed.

"That's the reason, you see, in the silent film era, the audience can know the meaning just by looking at the actors' performances, there were no lines at that time, and the appearance of the lines made the movie complicated, and the real good movie should return to the essence, that is, a good story and the actors' performances. Lin Zixuan said.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, and Mr. Lin's thoughts are getting deeper and deeper. Feng Xiaogang teased.

"Where did I say this, I held a seminar a few days ago, and those literary theorists put it forward. Lin Zixuan explained.

Even if the reason is understood, it is impossible for the film to go back to the silent film era.

Once the audience gets used to a movie with lines, you make a film without lines, and the freshness is there, but the box office must not be high.

The lines help the audience understand the plot and promote the development of the plot, the audience watches the movie with an entertainment mentality, and does not want to bother with their brains, and the characters in the movie explain to the audience through the lines over and over again.

The fewer lines there are, the more the actor's acting skills are tested, and when the audience doesn't care about the lines, they will focus on the actor's performance.

So popcorn movies are hugely popular, and those films with few lines and quiet ones don't pay much attention.

"Theorists will talk about how easy it is to make a movie, writing a script, finding funds, and sending it for review, it is not as easy, let them make a try, and exhaust them. Feng Xiaogang said angrily.

Feng Xiaogang has little affection for those people, and his films are often criticized by literary theorists and film critics.

"What do you think of Lao Bu's performance?" Lin Zixuan changed the subject.

"Lao Bu" is the abbreviation of Brian Cranston, just like calling Barbara Robinson "Lao Ba", which is a Chinese name with an intimate feeling.

"How to say it, by the standards of third-tier Hollywood actors, it's really good, I didn't have any expectations, but Lao Bu is very serious, you know, if he is not satisfied, he will ask to do it again, and then I asked, only to know that people have also worked as directors and have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Feng Xiaogang responded, "Director, there is a problem with the pursuit of perfection, and I always feel that it can be better." ”

Due to the National Day military parade, the crew of "The Funeral of the Big Names" had a three-day holiday.

Lin Zixuan, Ge You, Feng Xiaogang and others will participate in this military parade as a member of the literary and artistic circles.

Moreover, this National Day is the first Golden Week in China, with a three-day National Day holiday plus a weekend holiday, a total of seven days of long holiday, and a tourism boom will be ushered in around the country.

In fact, this Golden Week was still too hasty and not enough publicity.

Including travel agencies and local government departments have no experience, just passively waiting for tourists to come to the door, and will not take the initiative to publicize.

If any province is willing to spend money to advertise its tourism resources on Huaguo TV, the effect will definitely be unexpected.

On the morning of October 1, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan dressed up and came to Tiananmen Square.

People in the literary and artistic circles have their own teams, and people who are qualified in the literary and artistic circles in Beijing are basically here, and some elderly artists are sitting in the front row.

The two entered the venue with their identity badges and greeted people they knew.

Lin Zixuan knows most people in the literary and film and television circles, and Mu Shanshan's friends are mostly actors in the TV industry, she has hosted the Spring Festival Gala and many variety shows, like what kind of singer, cross talk, sketches and dancers are all familiar with.

Together, their circle of friends covers almost the entire literary and artistic circles in Beijing.

It can be seen that this circle is actually not big, and everyone took this opportunity to exchange pleasantries with each other.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan greeted the old artists and expressed their respect, and those old artists were very face-saving, chatted with them cordially, and said a few words of gossip.

With the position of the two of them in the circle now, this is normal.

These old artists don't look old, but they can talk to the above, they are old, they have a high status in the circle, and their children, nephews or students are quite influential in the literary and artistic circles, which should not be underestimated.

The celebration began at 10 a.m., and the whole square was crowded with people and colorful flags flying.

When the time came, the leaders of the country climbed the tower one after another to announce the official start of the celebration.

Amid the 50 rumbling cannon salutes, a square formation of 200 officers and men of the National Flag Guard marched along the red carpet to the flagpole at the north end of the square with sonorous steps.

Subsequently, the joint military band composed of more than 1,000 people played the national anthem, and the audience stood and sang the national anthem, and the bright five-star red flag rose one after another, fluttering high in the sky over the square.

Next, a square from all branches of the military walked in front of the square.

Every time a team appeared, it was warmly welcomed by the crowd, and the cheers in the square were deafening.

In this warm atmosphere, everyone's emotions are infected, and it is difficult to keep the mood calm.

This kind of scene can never be done by movies, so the documentary will have a unique charm, because it can truly reflect this era and leave precious image materials for future generations. (To be continued.) )
