Chapter 174: Boss, I'll Help You Translate
Lin Dong went to Xiangjiang to stay in a hotel, and the crew arranged it, which was not too good, but it was not shabby.
This movie invested 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, and it was a proper big production.
At the beginning of the year, "It's Not Easy to Thai" became a dog and swept the box office of 1.3 billion, making the entire film industry feel like a chicken blood.
The big time of movies is coming!
It is precisely because of this that this "Breaking the Army 2" started filming in advance, wanting to rub off on the popularity of Siam.
Lin Dong stayed in Xiangjiang for two days, participated in a start-up ceremony, and then followed the crew to Siam, and there was no role for him in Xiangjiang.
The filming sequence of this drama is that Xiangjiang and Siam shoot separately, and the two shooting teams start together.
Rich crews do just that.
In fact, although the labor cost of filming in this way has increased, the time cost has decreased, and it has become more and more accepted by filmmakers.
The premise is that the level of the assistant director will not pull back.
The drama on the Siamese side is more important, so director Zheng Baoduan is in charge himself.
He has made good movies and bad movies, and the "Drag Racing" directed by him won the Best Director at the 32nd Xiangjiang Film Awards, and this "Breaking the Army 2" can also be regarded as a good film he made.
There are a lot of bad movies, but none of them are as good as the Journey to the West series he will make in the future, and both Journey to the West have their own place on the list of bad movies.
Before leaving, Pei said that Paul Smith's people wanted to see him.
Already flew to the capital, and plans to fly from the capital.
But Lin Dong couldn't wait here.
Paul Smith has already rejected the invitation, and it is best not to accept this endorsement from all aspects.
When I got off the plane, I was told that it was Paul Smith, the chief designer of Paul Smith, who came.
Paul Smith?
If Lin Dong remembers correctly, he is already sixty or seventy years old.
It is too impolite and ungentlemanly to let such an old man rush over to find him, but he has not seen him.
Frankly speaking, Lin Dong really regretted it.
"Next time I inquire about the information more completely, you are a little careless, if Su Tong contacts this matter, it is estimated that you can inquire clearly." Lin Dong didn't deliberately dump the pot, this kind of thing shouldn't have been left to worry about in the first place.
Otherwise, do you want the agent to do the assistant.
Pei Baohu is a person who has the ability and is very good, what he lacks is steadfastness and tempering.
Of course, there is also the control of Lin Dong's style.
The money-losing tiger is about to cry.
In the past, his brother scolded him, and when he came to Mr. Lin's side, Mr. Lin scolded him.
Agents are really not so easy to be.
Lin Dong asked for Mr. Paul Smith's contact information, telling him to return to the Great Corrupt Country, and Lin Donghui came to visit him in person.
As a result, I was told that the people had booked a ticket to Siam and were waiting at the airport for takeoff.
Gotcha.
Then see you in Siam.
Lin Dong was a little nervous, this was the first time he had seen someone from his hometown.
In fact, in the two years he has been here, he has been exposed to Chinese culture, and he does not have much understanding of modern Britain.
And even though the plane is still British, wizards really just exist in legends.
Without wizarding England, Lin Dong has no sense of belonging.
It's not as good as Huaxia.
He is now an authentic Chinese.
With the identity of a Chinese person, I am accustomed to thinking about problems with the way of thinking of a Chinese person.
Paul Smith was a tall, thin old man.
The clothes are very good.
It's just that people will look at him and feel that he is a very connotative person.
Lin Dong and his meeting at a Siamese restaurant.
Lin Dong didn't care much about what the food was like - he had eaten.
This meal is called afternoon tea.
Afternoon tea can be traced back to the 17th century of the Great Corruption Kingdom, which has continued to this day and gradually become a leisure habit of modern people.
Ordinary people don't have afternoon tea every day, with the exception of Lin Dong.
In addition to him and Smith, Pei Baohu also sat next to him, he felt that he had been mixed with Xiangjiang for a while, and his English level was okay, and it was not a problem to be a translator.
However, as soon as Lin Dong saw Smith, he changed his words to English when Smith did not understand Chinese at all.
is very fluent, it is simply something that Pei Baohu has never seen in his life.
His heart was broken.
Shame on you.
Just now, I said to Mr. Lin, boss, my English is good, I can be a translator.
At that time, Mr. Lin looked at him, he didn't understand why it was so strange, but now he finally understood.
He's a sand sculpture.
Be a translator, be a fart translator.
Do people need a translator?
"Your English is really good, if I closed my eyes, I probably wouldn't know that there was a Chinese gentleman sitting in front of me." Smith was surprised.
At the beginning, he only felt that Lin Dong's demeanor and walking were very in line with the classical gentleman style in his mind.
I didn't expect English to be so walking.
And as the communication deepened further, he was surprised to find that Lin Dong's English was very strange.
The inhabitants of Great Britain spoke Celtic before the fourth century AD, and the Germanic conquest brought to Britain the Anglo-Saxon language, a West Germanic language born in Jutland and the Rhine Valley, now commonly known as Old English.
In other words, the aborigines of the Great Corrupt Country do not speak English.
English is a derivative of the German language.
Later, it was incorporated into the ancient Norse language spoken by the Vikings, and later into French.
French-speaking aristocrats, Latin-speaking clergy, and Old English-speaking peasants.
Later, many Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic grammars were absorbed to form the modern English grammar.
Founded in 1972, the Royal English Society advocated for people to speak English for the period.
But since the rise of the United States, the territory of the corrupt country has also been seriously eroded.
At present, there are not many people who can still insist on and speak royal English well in the country of Great Corruption, especially young people.
But Lin Dong said it very well.
Paul Smith himself was ashamed of himself.
There was some very jerky grammar that he had only been exposed to in his early poetic works.
In fact, Lin Dong has been working hard to speak modern English.
After he crossed over, he planned to use the magic of the memory potion to learn a few more languages, but found that one Chinese language was actually enough for him to learn for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that the original owner had left a certain talent for language, he might not even be able to speak.
In the end, I had no choice but to make up for the knowledge of modern English.
This will come to Siam to film, and he must learn Siamese dialect, which is the third language he has to master.
"My designer team and I admired Mr. Lin very much, so we proposed to let Mr. Lin endorse our products, but our company sold 49% of the shares to Neon people, and they complicated this matter." Smith came over this time because Lin Dong clearly refused to cooperate with them.
Even the best friend of the brand will no longer exist.
The market in Asia is mostly managed by neon managers.
When choosing a spokesperson, they consider more complex things, and they are willing to compete to make the candidates compromise for the benefit of the brand.
"I can understand, Mr. Smith, but something has happened to me lately, and for the sake of my own reputation and that of the company, I have to give up our cooperation, and I can't let people think that I am trying to slander my competitors for personal gain."
Lin Dong explained his position.
