Chapter 884 - Pediatric Themes

On the other hand, inspired by Gu Xiaofan's "Declaration of Equality" at the Oscars, many movie stars and directors in the circle have expressed their support for this phenomenon, and Robert Jr., who is filming "Iron Man 2", shouted when asked by reporters about this question:

"Hey, buddy, didn't you see Liu Shishi's performance in the shooting, she is definitely a real action actress, she was the one who rushed to the front with "The Rock" Johnson at that time, yes, I think she is a female man. [Reading Network]"

In the midst of controversy, "House of Cards", directed by Taylor and produced by Gu Xiaofan, has quietly started filming.

In Baltimore, about an hour's drive from Washington, D.C., a typical black city, the crew set up a set similar to the White House for filming.

For Gu Xiaofan, this is probably the most relaxed work in his production career, most of the filming locations are within a radius of three kilometers, there are no fights, drag racing, and even very few scenes on the street, and the important plots are almost all carried out indoors.

The only troublesome scene is the "Washington Monument", a Washington landmark that Washingtonians are most proud of, but fortunately, Baltimore also has a small "Washington Monument" as a background.

And the rest, Gu Xiaofan's job is to sit quietly, behind the camera, and enjoy the performance feast of "House of Cards".

"House of Cards" tells the story of the operation and struggle of high-level political power in Washington, the capital of the United States, and the plot involves various political insider conspiracies and intrigues and interest collusion, all of which are high-level political figures, including the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Chief of Staff, the President of Congress, and the Governor, almost including all the characters in the power center of the superpower of the United States.

It looks very scary, and when you think about it, although there is a British version of the original book from 20 years ago, this script is written by a native Chinese, which gives people a very absurd feeling...... It's like asking an American to shoot "The Biography of Deng Xiaoping".

That's where CW's general manager, Macbeth, worries the most......

So a week after the series started filming, the CEO of CW quietly came to visit the behind-the-scenes class, and when he arrived at the scene, the "House of Cards" studio was in full swing.

"Mr. Mike......" An employee who was carrying water was also taken aback when he saw his appearance.

Macbeth pressed his hand, motioned for him to be quiet, quietly walked to a dark corner, and gently patted the shoulder of a sleeping assistant director.

"Anthony ......"

"Who~ didn't you see me resting?" The chubby assistant director muttered a very dissatisfied look, and was about to get angry, when he looked back and saw that it was his boss, and hurriedly said in surprise: "Mike, why are you here?" ”

"I'll take a look at the situation." Macbeth smiled a little bitterly and asked, "What do you think of this drama?" The board of directors asked us to release it in two weeks, and I was really unsure. Regarding Gu Xiaofan's decision to broadcast this episode in April, Macbeth has actually been beating the drum in his heart.

"I don't know how to describe it...... It's an amazing feeling. Assistant director Anthony touched his head: "See for yourself." As he spoke, he pointed to Kevin Spacey in the camera.

The actor plays the actor Frank, a member of Congress who has been immersed in politics for many years, and his status in Congress is second only to the speaker, and he has made great contributions to the success of the presidential campaign, and he wanted to be the secretary of state, but the president broke his promise and wanted to grant the secretary of state position to someone else. The character of Frank obeyed the overall situation after limited struggle, but in fact, he was infinitely disappointed and resentful, and the conspiracies and interests were intertwined...... It's incredibly complicated......

But Macbeth looked at it a little and was surprised to find that Kevin Spacey felt at the beginning of the camera, giving people the appearance of "Wow, this guy is a seasoned politician", which completely played this congressman deep into the marrow.

Every scene that purely relies on lines to compare facial expressions has been thrilling by him.

"This guy is amazing......" Macbeth looked at it and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Hey, he's a friend of former President Clinton, so I'm not surprised at all." Anthony squinted his eyes and looked at the two heroines resting next to him:

"What's really surprising is that Robin Wright, Sien Penn's ex-wife, Forrest Gump's heroine, and the Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan...... They are probably the top combination of old and young among the actresses in the series now. ”

"Is that Chinese actress so powerful?" Macbeth looked a little surprised, Robin Wright was it, after all, she was recognized as a powerful person, but wasn't that Gao Yuanyuan Gu Xiaofan's little lover or something?

"It's more than a great ......," Anthony sighed after taking a deep breath.

"She made me feel that she seemed to be more suitable for political themes than Hollywood actresses of her age, and there were too many complex and contradictory things in her performances, and at the same time she was very intelligent...... How to say it, purity and ** coexist...... Very subtle temperament. ”

Macbeth listened to this comment and felt that Anthony was a little exaggerated, so he just pursed his mouth and said: "It seems that the actors are very good, it depends on Gu Xiaofan, the producer, Chinese filming such a complex political theme, I am really worried that he can't control it...... After all, he was too young. ”

Anthony couldn't help but stop talking when he heard this, he actually wanted to say that in this week's shooting, Gu Xiaofan, the producer, showed unimaginable control over the complex plot and structure of "House of Cards", and he looked completely at ease.

But he knew that no one would believe it, and that a 23-year-old could know so much about politics? How is this possible? But in fact, Anthony even felt that this Gu Xiaofan was an expert in intrigue and trickery

If Gu Xiaofan knew that this CW was evaluating him in his heart, he would probably laugh out loud on the spot, although the structure of "House of Cards" is too complicated for simple-minded Americans, but for any Chinese who has watched "Yongzheng Dynasty" since childhood, it is completely a pediatric story......

In the history of Chinese TV dramas, the court struggle drama of a dynasty is more than ten times more complicated than the plot of "House of Cards".

To put it bluntly, the so-called American political dramas, whether for Gu Xiaofan or Gao Yuanyuan, have only one feeling that it is so easy~

Just as Macbeth was about to continue asking Anthony something, a group of uninvited guests entered the door of the studio......

The group of people were dressed in suits that resembled government workers, and Macbeth had thought they were extras or something, but when these people walked past him, he saw that these people had FBI IDs on their chests...... I couldn't help but open my mouth wide in surprise.

Is the FBI cop? What are they here for?
