Chapter 649: Communication

[Twilight: New Moon] continues the story of the previous episode, still attracting the audience with handsome men and beautiful women on the screen to stage the forbidden love between vampires and humans. But this time, with the addition of a scenic Italian town and a purpose-built studio in Vancouver, the lighting of the camera has also been improved from the first episode, and it is no longer the use of cool colors to emphasize the dark side of the vampire. And in the story, more fierce and white-hot confrontations between people, wolves and vampires have been added, and there are descriptions that make people happy, sad, and warm.

Due to the change of director, the executive director of [Twilight: New Moon] is Chris Weitz in the hands of the guide. The director is an artistic genius with a keen sense and an extreme aesthetic style. He knows very well what the original Stephanie Mayer and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg really think, and he knows how to express those thoughts, and he also knows what the audience who buys tickets to the theater wants to see, so with the location of the small town of Volterra, Italy, director Chris Weiz is committed to shooting a scene that is even better than the first episode.

In addition, in [Twilight: New Moon], the love between the male protagonist Edward Cullen and the female protagonist Isabella Swan has been sublimated, not only with a lot of intimate scenes, from kissing to lingering in bed. As actors, Zixi and Kristen Stewart are not unfamiliar with these scenes, the two have been working together for a long time, and they have long had enough tacit understanding, and it doesn't take much time to prepare for brewing feelings.

To Zixi's surprise, there is actually a Korean actor Justin Qian in the crew of [Twilight: New Moon]. He was born and raised in Southern California, the son of a Korean actor who immigrated to the United States and a pianist mother. As early as five years ago, Justin had already made a cameo appearance in the TV series "Orange County Boys", and later collaborated with Brenda Song, a Chinese-Thai mixed-race girl, in the Disney film "Prom Warrior", which attracted Hollywood attention. This time I entered the [Twilight: New Moon] crew, which made the crew suddenly have a much stronger oriental flavor.

For Zixi, a young man who has successfully stepped into the ranks of Hollywood first-line male stars, Justin, who is three years older than him, is very curious. Justin is Korean, although he can't even speak Korean fluently, but he still knows very well that Korean movies are not even in Europe and the United States, even in Asia, they are squeezed by Chinese and Japanese films, and few can successfully break out of the encirclement.

In terms of actors, many actors from China and Japan have been active in Hollywood since the nineties, but what about South Korea? So far, to put it mildly, Rain has not entered Hollywood at all, and a small supporting role is simply dispensable for Hollywood filmmakers. is still filming [Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra], although it also has Korean actor Lee Byung-hun joining, but it only plays a supporting role White Ghost, which is not comparable with the superstars in China and Hong Kong who have entered the house at all.

There are also directors, when Chinese directors have walked the red carpet of Cannes, the Oscars and major film festivals, when they hold the highest Golden Man, Golden Lion and Silver Bear in their hands, Korean directors can only succumb to the small peninsula, looking for not too many locations to perfect the filming of a film. This may be due to congenital deficiencies, as well as the so-called national self-confidence that makes them only rest on their laurels on a small peninsula.

As for the films, not to mention, many Chinese and Japanese films have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and many awards are the best examples.

Justin Qian is curious, why would an actor like Zixi who can become popular in Hollywood come out of the peninsula country where many Americans think that war will break out at any time? So not long after joining the crew, Justin Qian took the initiative to talk to Zixi, and also used his Korean accent.

"Justin, we can actually talk in English." Every sentence had to be repeated several times by Justin before he could understand it, and Zixi decided to give up chatting in Justin's native language.

Justin scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Zachary, you have been living and working in South Korea, what do you think of South Korea?" ”

Zixi asked rhetorically, "Haven't you ever been to South Korea?" ”

"I did, but I just went on vacation, I didn't have any friends there, I didn't understand the Korean they spoke, I couldn't write, and I felt that the etiquette in Korea was too conservative and harsh, and I couldn't accept it," Justin said. ”

For Justin, who grew up and studied in the United States, and is used to being free, it is difficult to accept the almost perverted etiquette rules of Koreans, Zixi is not surprised at all, when he first went to South Korea, he also had this idea, but it was only after he slowly got used to it that he had no trouble. And now Zixi is a senior who has debuted for seven years, and his popularity, status and identity are even more admired by countless people, so he can be more casual on some occasions that don't pay too much attention to etiquette.

"It's actually a matter of getting used to it or not. When I went to Korea from the United States, I felt very awkward at the time, and I had to bow and salute everyone I saw. Fortunately, there are a lot of people around me to help me, and I have made a lot of friends, so now I am used to living there and I don't feel anything. ”

Justin continued: "So what do you think of the Korean film and television market right now? You're the first Korean movie star to make the leap to Hollywood, and the only Korean movie star to make the leap to the top actor in a Hollywood film. The first time I knew that you were from Korea, I envied you for a long time. After my parents learned about it, they also praised you for winning glory for South Korea. ”

Zixi said frankly: "In fact, if you have lived in the United States for many years, you should know that white people, no matter what country they are, have more or less hostile or contemptuous eyes towards people of color. Speaking of which, Justin nodded sympathetically. The reason why I was able to successfully enter Hollywood, first of all, was due to the fact that my mother was an American or a native of the United States, and I myself was a reserve officer of the Air Guard of the United States National Guard, so that the European and American races psychologically identified with my identity. They treated me as an American, so that they could recognize my acting skills and fully accept me as a member of Hollywood, so that I could stand firm in the relatively xenophobic Hollywood. ”

Justin's frankness did not annoy Justin, he was used to being direct from Westerners, and he agreed with him. Having lived in the United States for many years and mingled in Hollywood, Vanity Fair, Justin understands the difference between being recognized and being excluded.

"Are the Easterners destined to have a hard time gaining a foothold in the West? Isn't it possible for Eastern culture to influence Westerners? Can the Orientals only be assimilated and integrated by them in Europe and the United States? Justin asked these questions, and it seems that Justin's parents never reduced the indoctrination of Eastern culture in him.

Zixi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Eastern and Western cultures have been in conflict in many ways for so many years, and Easterners want to export their culture to the West. In the same way, Westerners also want to transmit their own set of values to Easterners. The two sides have their own elaborations and understandings on religion, ideology, culture, entertainment, and so on, and this is simply an unsolvable problem, and it is not something that you and I can delve into. ”

"What can't be investigated!" Kristen Stewart's pretty figure suddenly jumped out from behind the two, blinking her green eyes mischievously, and asked with a smile: "I seem to have heard someone talking about some very philosophical topics just now, I wonder if you can let me join in?" ”

"Christine, don't you know that eavesdropping is a very immoral act?" Zixi snatched a hot dog in her hand with one hand, took a big bite, and said that the wicked person sued first.

"Then our Mr. Zachary, I remember you once said: taking food and clothing from people is like killing parents." Not to be outdone, Kristen Stewart pointed to the hot dog that was already half missing, and said fiercely: "So should I avenge my parents now and kill you?" ”

Zixi didn't seem to see Kristen Stewart's angry eyes at all, and still took a bite of it, biting the fragrant hot dog, and said with a nonchalant expression: "It seems that I should call Mr. John and Ms. Julis, saying that their daughter actually compared them to hot dogs." ”

"Uh" Kristen Stewart was choked by Zixi's words, although the relationship between American father and son and father and daughter is like friends, it does not mean that Christine is disrespectful and filial to her parents.

"I'm going to kill you." Annoyed and angry, Kristen Stewart wrapped her arms around Zixi's neck with one hand and shook it vigorously, shaking out all the hot dogs that Zixi was still chewing in her mouth.

Tyler Lautner, Ashley Greeney, Nikki Ryder, Rachel Pfeiffer and others who were watching the show all smiled and looked at each other, and they didn't mean to come over to solve the siege. In fact, they are all young people of the same age, they all receive the same education, and there is a tacit understanding of cooperation in the episode, and they have become very good friends, and they have become accustomed to playing and making trouble on the set.

"Let go, let go, I'm going to die." Zixi slapped Kristen Stewart's hand and begged for mercy: "If you're hungry, I'll buy ten, or twenty hot dogs will pay you for it." ”

"Humph! You treat me as a pig! Kristen Stewart glanced at Zixi with disdain, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said, "Soon we will go to Italy to shoot, if you can treat me to the most authentic Italian food, then I can also consider forgiving you!" ”

On the side, Ashley Greeney and Nikki Ryder, who were still watching the show just now, had all gathered around, and Ashley Greeney was even more shy and said with a smile: "Is it a part of the listener?" We've always wanted to try the authentic fried rice, Milanese veal shin, ham and cheese steak and sea bass in tomato sauce. Ashley counted with her fingers in the same way, and the rest of them drooled as they listened.

"Ashley, I seem to have heard someone talk about dieting to lose weight, and vowed to only eat salads and drink juices." Zixi said with a smile as she looked at Ashley, who was convex and backward.

"I want you to take care of it. You don't want to go to the two-person world with Christine, I am absolutely and resolutely going to destroy you. Ashley pursed her lips and said resentfully. However, under Christine's blushing pat, her tone changed, and she pointed to Nikki Ryder, Rachel Pfeiffer, and Kellan Lutz around her, and said with a smile: "However, if you can buy us and treat us to a hearty Italian meal, then we can disappear immediately, leaving you with a romantic date." ”

Zixi felt very wronged, he and Christine were just very good friends, they were used to joking, and sometimes they spoke and acted more casually. What's more, because the two of them have a lot of intimate scenes in [Twilight: New Moon], they have relatively more time to cultivate emotions and communicate together. But in Ashley's opinion, the relationship between the two has far exceeded the harmony of the first episode, and there is a tendency to develop towards boyfriend and girlfriend.
