Chapter 199: I'll Help You Choose an Actor!
A year ago, Zhou Yang was like an island.
Living in his own world and living every day, in addition to his own work, he is afraid to greet people when he goes downstairs, and he will be nervous inexplicably, not to mention taking the initiative to go up and talk to people.
Now Zhou Yang is smiling innocently, sitting on a chair and chatting with strangers who have just known each other for less than three hours on the dining table in bumpy English.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, when we Americans eat, we don't use this word, your words are like sentences made up of words, although I can understand what you mean, but I can't say that......" Erin was eating Zhou Yang's food while correcting Zhou Yang's colloquial speech.
She didn't doubt that Zhou Yang had any purpose.
She classifies everything as a coincidence.
In fact......
She did post a similar message about tutoring on the Internet, and she also received a phone call three hours ago, and she took the initiative to invite the other party to her home to meet.
When I first saw this big boy, Erin felt that he seemed to be a little shy, standing outside the courtyard and not daring to come in, and hesitated for a long time before he seemed to have the courage to chat with him, but the spoken pronunciation was very bad and Erin was very crazy to hear, but of course his eyes were very clear and looked very sincere, which made it easy for people to let down their guard......
When he entered the house, he took off his shoes and sat honestly on the sofa, and the appearance of sitting upright made people laugh.
Erin began to take the initiative to communicate with the big boy, and she asked about the big boy's profession, why he came to Lao Mei, how to find herself online, why he wanted to learn English, and so on.
When she learned that the other party was a director, Erin was very surprised, she said that her father was also a screenwriter and director, and the other party was also very surprised, opened her mouth but couldn't hold back any words, of course, after confirming the authenticity of the other party's identity, Erin did not ask Zhou Yang other questions, but talked about learning English.
When talking about the tuition fee, the other party seemed to be particularly embarrassed, his whole face was flushed, and he asked if he could help her cook and then offset part of the tuition, and at the same time, the big boy also told her very seriously that he could help repair a lot of things.
Erin was a little crying and laughing at the time, jokingly saying that the street lamp outside her house had been broken for three months, and no one had repaired it, and if he could fix it, he could consider using his skills to pay for tuition.
Unexpectedly, this big boy nodded without saying a word, and really ran out to repair.
"Thank you, Teacher Erin." Zhou Yang nodded, then picked up the notebook to correct his mistakes.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, Christian has called me, don't worry, I will do what Director Christian says, whatever you need in the crew, as long as you pass the application, you can use it as you like......" Luo Di came back from calling outside, and showed a strange look when he saw Zhou Yang.
He felt that today's events seemed to be a bit too coincidental.
The Chinese director in the crew of "Lamb" suddenly appeared at his home and learned English......
This made Luo Di have to suspect that Zhou Yang was close to his purpose.
"Oh oh oh, thank you, Mr. Roddy." Zhou Yang nodded, his voice still quite sincere.
For the next half hour, Luo Di kept observing Zhou Yang, and even deliberately looked at Zhou Yang's small notebook carefully.
He found that Zhou Yang did follow his daughter seriously to learn English.
But......
After thinking of another possibility, he frowned slightly, especially after seeing Erin's eyes looking at Zhou Yang, he had a very dangerous feeling.
He always felt that this oriental man was a man with an ulterior purpose, and his daughter was so beautiful, he felt that it was necessary to warn him in advance.
After dinner, he pulled Zhou Yang aside alone.
"Mr. Zhou Yang......"
"Huh?"
"It's okay to learn English, but I personally suggest that you should learn English in the crew."
"Huh?"
"You're a director and have your own film project to shoot, right?"
"Yes."
"I heard you plan to release it in January?"
"Yes."
"Then your time should be very tight, you can't waste time on the road, so how about I find you an English teacher again?"
"Well, but I've talked to Teacher Erin......" Zhou Yang looked dazed.
"Did you come to the U.S. to make a movie or to learn English?" Luo Di frowned slightly after looking at Zhou Yang's humble eyes.
"Make a movie." Zhou Yang replied subconsciously.
"That's good, take my car over at night, I'll help you read the script, and by the way, I'll introduce friends from the crew to you tomorrow...... I appreciate your attitude towards learning, but you can't delay your work, what do you think? ”
"Well, I think it makes a lot of sense." Zhou Yang nodded innocently.
"That's right." Luo Di patted Zhou Yang's shoulder and laughed, feeling that this young man was quite good.
When Zhou Yang returned to the table again, Zhou Yang saw Roddy and Erin chatting a lot.
And he sat honestly and listened.
Zhou Yang couldn't understand a lot of the content, so after standing awkwardly for more than ten minutes, Luo Di glanced at Zhou Yang, his eyes full of hints.
Zhou Yang hesitated for a while, and then subconsciously stood up: "Teacher Erin, I thought about it, it's true that I'm too busy with movie shooting, I'll learn English from you when I have time, well, I just remembered that I still have something, so I'll leave first......"
Zhou Yang's bumpy plastic English made Erin really obsessive-compulsive, and after repeatedly correcting the mistakes in Zhou Yang's grammar, she finally looked at Zhou Yang: "That's it, come over at this point tomorrow, I'll correct your grammar problems first?" ”
"Ah, Teacher Erin, there may be something that I can't come over tomorrow......" Zhou Yang scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Okay, next time you have time to come over, you can call me in advance......" Erin nodded.
"Okay!" Zhou Yang nodded, and just as he was about to flash people, he suddenly seemed to think of something: "Miss Erin, why don't I help you fix the refrigerator first?" ”
"Huh? Will you repair? ”
"I'll take a look first, I know how to fix the general problem, is there anything broken at home?" Zhou Yang looked at Erin and continued to show a silly smile.
“……”
Four hours later.
It was late at night.
Not only was Luodi's refrigerator repaired, but at the same time, the sewer pipe at home was blocked, and the heating problem of the central air conditioning was also solved by Zhou Yang, and even Zhou Yang was very careful to help the air outlet of the central air conditioner do a simple cleaning, when the central air conditioning was turned on, everyone felt that the air in the house was a lot fresher.
"Are you a director, or are you ...... Repairman? "Roddy is at a loss.
"I used to repair some things......" Zhou Yang's eyes were a little tired, but his smile was very sincere, which was easy to make people feel good: "I repaired the camera when I filmed "Mine Bottom". ”
"You're going to fix these things?" Roddy was shocked.
"Not all, I need the circuit diagram to see, and I will fix the general minor problems!"
"Come here, I'll take you to the warehouse, there are some old-fashioned record players, can you fix them?"
"Okay!"
…………………………
Five o'clock the next morning.
The old-fashioned record player played a once-familiar melody from Roddy.
It was something his grandfather had left for him.
Roddy stared at the record player, too excited to help himself.
After listening to the melody, Luo Di saw Zhou Yang sitting on the chair with a tired expression.
He suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Ah, sorry for bothering you all night......"
"It's okay, actually, I like old objects like this." Zhou Yang laughed innocently: "Ah, it's five o'clock?" Mr. Roddy, I have to go. ”
"Go to my room and rest for a while."
"No, I still have to go to the crew today......"
"Huh? I forgot that you have something to do today, so, Mr. Zhou Yang, what kind of people do you need to recruit for your movie, and do you have any character setting information? If you believe me, I hope you can show me the script and character settings of "Saw", and when I go back to audition for the role of "Lamb", by the way, I will help you audition for "Chainsaw" together, and you will be responsible for resting, okay?
"This ......" Zhou Yang hesitated: "That's embarrassing."
"It's okay, anyway, Mr. Christian said that I will assist you in filming "Chainsaw", and I am also one of your assistant directors, haha, if there is anything you need help or cooperation with "Chainsaw" in the future, you must say it......" Roddy was in a very good mood, he smiled, and then patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder.
Zhou Yang nodded, the original tiredness was swept away, and he immediately took out the script of "Chainsaw" from his arms and handed it to Luo Di.
Roddy took the script, at first he glanced at it casually, and then his eyes suddenly became solemn, and when he saw the end, Roddy subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it......
After watching it for the first time, Roddy watched it a second time.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, do you want to shoot this? This is a book you wrote? After reading it for the second time, Luo Di looked at Zhou Yang.
"Yes." Zhou Yang nodded.
"I love this script very much...... Is there a follow-up to the script? The expression on Roddy's face was very serious.
"Well, I haven't written it yet...... I thought about filming this script first, and then watching the follow-up ......" Zhou Yang shook his head.
"That's a pity......" Roddy's eyes were complicated.
He originally "Saw Horror" was a very simple low-budget horror film.
But when he really finished reading the script, especially after seeing the final reversal of the script, Luo Di keenly realized that if this script could really be filmed well, it might be a hit.
There are not a lot of movies in the category of locked room captivity, but there are really few books like "Chainsaw" that are so suspenseful that they make Roddy feel a chill down his spine after watching it!
As a screenwriter!
Roddy believes in his vision!
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I want to invite Anthony to play the jigsaw behind the scenes of "Chainsaw", what do you think?"
"Anthony is ......" Because he was too tired, Zhou Yang's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't remember who Anthony was for a while.
"It's the role of the cannibal doctor in "Lamb", Mr. Christian searched for five years to find the most suitable character, his voice is very magnetic, and his age is quite similar to the murderer behind the scenes in the script, I think he is particularly suitable for such a role......"
"Huh? In fact, there is very little investment in this movie......" Zhou Yang understood, but then his expression was very embarrassing.
In fact, after Christian called him and told him that his role had been changed by Anthony, Zhou Yang checked the information of Anthony's old man on the Internet.
As a result, he found that Mr. Anthony's coffee position in the Western literary circle is not low, and he is a nobleman, and his worth is quite amazing......
"You don't have to worry about these things, if it's convenient, I'd like to talk to Mr. Anthony about Saw Horror, I think he should be quite interested in this role, anyway, we are making movies together, and it's not a problem for him to make a free cameo in his spare time...... Okay, you can get some rest first. ”
