Chapter 289: The Role of Translation
Scarlett's image is good, which is more in line with the setting of the role, and Scarlett also has a good relationship with a star from China, so the director passed Scarlett's interview on the spot, and promised Scarlett to give Ouyang Xu a chance to interview. So there is the current scene.
"I'm here for a vacation, and I'm here to rest, not to film, or to work." Ouyang Xu looked at Scarlett speechlessly and said to Scarlett.
"Huh!" Scarlett looked at Ouyang Xu with a confused expression.
After hearing Ouyang Xu's words, the two of them were also stunned, obviously unable to believe what Ouyang Xu said. After all, for Asians, being able to film in Hollywood. Especially in those blockbuster movies, playing a role is definitely a very cost-effective thing, and it can be said that countless stars are competing to do it.
I saw a reader in the book review that it was not reasonable to let the protagonist play a role in a four- or five-minute play, and that the protagonist should be played. I have to say here that although the protagonist is not famous in China, he is not well-known abroad, and the first thing to consider in Hollywood's movies is the Hollywood market, although he attaches importance to the Chinese film market, but he will not give up the Hollywood film market because of the Chinese film market, so let Ouyang Xu be the protagonist for no reason? Impossible. Also, in reality, didn't our two Bingbing both run out and play a role in the movie for a few minutes? Mutants, and King Ada. Isn't it all a supporting role for a few minutes? So it's normal for others to let Ouyang Xu play a role for a few minutes. Who let our movie stars say to Hollywood that the grade is low, even the author doesn't want to admit this kind of thing.
"Ouyang Xu, although you are here to travel, isn't this a good opportunity? Maybe after this time, you will be able to develop in Hollywood, you are so good, well, according to what you said, your face can make you mix well in Hollywood. So even though you can't be the lead actor like you do in China, it's a good start, isn't it? Scarlett persuaded Ouyang Xu.
"Actually, I think it's super troublesome to make a movie or something, and now I don't want to make a movie." Ouyang Xu spread his hands.
"Oh my God, Ouyang Xu, don't joke with me. I've already told the director that you don't want me to lose my role because of you. Come on, just an interview, quick. Scarlett took Ouyang Xu's arm and walked inside.
Scarlett said so, and Ouyang Xu didn't refuse, after all, Scarlett finally passed the interview and got such a role, if Scarlett finally lost this opportunity because he lost the trust of the director, maybe Scarlett would really pester Ouyang Xu.
"That's it, quick, hurry." Scarlett urged.
Follow Scarlett into the room. Ouyang Xu saw the examiner of this interview, well, a man in his fifties was sitting in the middle, and to his left was a white woman in her forties, this woman was wearing a pair of glasses and looked very shrewd. On the right, a semi-balding black man.
When Ouyang Xu and Scarlett walked in, the three of them were chatting, well, probably chatting, Ouyang Xu couldn't understand what they were saying.
After Ouyang Xu and Scarlett walked in, the middle-aged man said something to Scarlett. Scarlett quickly shook her head, and then responded. After Scarlett responded to this, she immediately made the three interviewees frown, and then whispered something.
"What are they talking about?" Ouyang Xu took the opportunity to ask Scarlett next to him.
"They wanted me to go out and then do an interview, and I told them, you don't understand English. Oh, it's terrible, I might as well not let you come. Because you don't even speak English, it's already giving them an opinion. Scarlett said in a low voice, with a hint of distress in her voice.
"So I don't need to come for an interview at all." Ouyang Xu shrugged, and he didn't feel anything about it, because he didn't have any plans, let alone the idea of filming in Hollywood.
"Shut up, Ouyang Xu, I'll act as a translator next." Scarlett rolled her eyes and said angrily.
It didn't take long for the discussion of the above three interviewers to end, and then said a word to Scarlett.
Scarlett's face turned bitter when she heard this, and she looked like this: "Ouyang Xu, the director asked me to tell you that you can't even speak English, and there is a big language barrier when filming, so they don't really want an actor like you." ”
Ouyang Xu shrugged: "I know, and I'm here to travel, so I didn't think about filming." If there is no hope, there is no hope. ”
Scarlett listened to Ouyang Xu say this, and her teeth itched with hatred. But she, the translator, had to translate in the middle. Of course, Scarlett didn't directly translate Ouyang Xu's words as they were, she spoke nicely, regardless of whether she could pass in the end or not, but her attitude was very important: "Director, Ouyang Xu said that he didn't expect that he would get this interview opportunity before, because his original idea was to travel to Hollywood, and wanted to see what the holy place that all actors in the world yearn for." However, Ouyang Xu promised that he would learn English well in the future, and hoped that the director would give him a chance. ”
Listening to Scarlett's muttering and muttering, Ouyang Xu always felt that the content of Scarlett's translation might be a little different from what he said, because what he said was very short, while Scarlett's words were so long, of course, it was also possible that English was like this, a simple sentence had to be translated in a very long paragraph, just like an idiom.
The rest of the conversation is roughly like this, with Scarlett acting as the interpreter in the middle, and after a certain amount of artistic processing of the words of both sides, they are passed into the ears of both parties.
……
Ouyang Xu said thank you, he will work hard, he will try to learn English in the shortest possible time. Well, goodbye. Scarlett said, then pulled Ouyang Xu, turned around and walked out of the interview room.
After coming out of the room, Scarlett let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from her head exaggeratedly, looking like she was working hard.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, are you ready for mooncakes?
