Chapter 488: Culture Clashes

It is quite normal for an actor with outstanding strength to tell a play.

Especially for some actors with directing skills, it is even more inevitable to talk about drama when they get to the crew.

For this reason, Zhou Chen has also spoken more than once.

There are even times when I have to talk to other actors every once in a while.

It can be said that which crew Zhou Chen is in, which crew has one more director, which is also the reason why Zhou Chen's efficiency in making movies has always been very high.

But even so, this is the first time for Zhou Chen to talk to foreigners.

And this time the drama was also particularly unsmooth.

It's not because Zhou Chen's level has declined, but because of cultural differences.

"The most important thing in acting must be realism, if it is too exaggerated just for the sake of better picture effects, it is putting the cart before the horse."

The quality of Zhou Chen's drama has always been very high.

But it's also true that these people don't understand.

"What do you mean by putting the cart before the horse?"

"How can the root and the end be reversed?"

Yes, that's the problem.

The culture is not comprehensible!

As Hollywood staff, they have always looked down on Huaxia.

After all, the technological gap with Huaxia is there.

Even though many of the things they use now are made in Huaxia, it does not prevent them from being interested in Huaxia at all.

I don't know anything about Chinese idioms.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to explain to everyone: "This word is called an idiom, and it was proposed by a person named Zhu Xi in the Southern Song Dynasty, which means that the order of things is reversed. ”

As a result, after Zhou Chen explained, these people had more problems.

"Who is Zhu Xi? Are those surnamed Zhu all descendants of Zhu Xi? ”

"I know that there are five dynasties in China, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, when is this Southern Song Dynasty?"

Zhou Chen had no choice but to answer these curious questions one by one.

But with each question answered, more questions will arise.

A good lecture turned into a Chinese cultural sharing conference.

After a long time, the questions around Zhou Chen finally disappeared, and turned into a wave of admiration.

"China is worthy of being the first of the four ancient civilizations, and these cultures are simply fascinating."

"I believe in the evil of the BCC gang that I think Huaxia is a backward country, where is this backward?"

"I decided, next year, no, after the filming of this movie, I will take my family to travel to China and see the style of China."

Everyone has no opinion on the deviation of the center of the drama, after all, the drama can be told at any time.

These gossips about Huaxia are disposed of, and Zhou Chen has nowhere to know.

Zhou Chen is also happy to introduce his hometown to everyone.

Even said more than once that they invited everyone to eat and play after arriving in China.

The scene was full of joy, and there was only one person with a resentful eye and self-pity.

That's Jonathan.

Although he was also very interested in the affairs of China, there was no one who did not sigh at its magic in this distant eastern land.

But he wants to talk to Zhou Chen more about movies, listen to how Zhou Chen acts well, and how to train actors with mediocre acting skills to perfection.

After this sharing meeting, everyone also had a certain understanding of Zhou Chen.

In the next few days, the crew learned about Zhou Chen's personality during the filming.

It's not at all like what the outside world says is so fierce and difficult to get along with, and it's the BCC gang talking nonsense.

Even Judy, who was afraid of Zhou Chen at first, dared to say hello to Zhou Chen.

That's all there is to it, but if you say a few more words to Zhou Chen or see Zhou Chen's eyes.

Judy still can't help but run away.

After putting aside the veil of mystery on Zhou Chen's body, everyone's words and tuberculosis attributes disappeared.

Although occasionally someone would ask Zhou Chen some questions and make fun of him.

But it doesn't look like it's sticking to him.

And the filming has been going well, and the actors' performances are also quite outstanding.

There is no need to gather everyone to talk about the play.

made Jonathan want to find an excuse to let Zhou Chen say that he didn't have a chance to know about the movie.

At the end of the day, I didn't talk to Zhou Chen about movies at all.

So in the evening, he brought two bottles of good wine to the room where Zhou Chen lived.

"Zhou Chen, good evening."

This is still the gift-giving culture he learned here in Zhou Chen, what is it called, by the way, do what he likes.

Zhou Chen also looked at the two bottles of Kanti, and his eyes lit up.

Originally, he was about to settle the reward for the movie, but he couldn't care about it at the moment.

Hurriedly stood up to welcome Jonathan's arrival.

But there is still a hint of vigilance in my heart.

"Director, what are you trying to do here?"

Jonathan had an embarrassed smile on his face, and then he said what he meant.

"I just want to exchange experience with you, so that I can teach the actors better."

This is a rather difficult question to ask.

After all, for a director, it's a matter of survival.

However, Zhou Chen did not hide his personal selfishness and shared his experience.

"Many actors have their own ideas and understanding, and the most important thing is not to impose their ideas on each other."

"Instead, let him experience the characteristics of the character by himself through guidance, and ...... from multiple perspectives."

Zhou Chen and Jonathan talked a lot, and Jonathan was also moved by Zhou Chen's attitude.

I don't hide my secrets from this Zhou Chen, and share all my years of experience as a director.

The two talked all the way from night to day, and the conversation was over.

As for these two bottles of wine, they naturally went into Zhou Chen's pocket.

It's just that Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and didn't open the drink.

It was because of the good wine that he knew the weight of these two bottles.

You know, Jonathan is not a good drinker.

Would the wine that could be preserved by a person like him who is not a good drinker be mortal?

This bottle is considered to be the greatest vintage produced in 1990.

And it's also the highest AOC level.

That's all it takes, it's the work of one of the best winemakers of the year, Dehya.

That year, he produced only one barrel of AOC wine.

There are only five bottles for sale.

Three of the bottles have already been drunk, and even the bottles have been offered for $100,000 in the hope of collecting.

This bottle of red wine cannot be said to be priceless, it can only be said to be priceless.

It's better to keep it as a gift than to drink it.

Moreover, he has another person to give as a gift.

But before that, Zhou Chen washed his hands carefully, and then washed his face.

He muttered inwardly: "Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Zun blesses." ”

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun blesses."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang, God bless."

"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun blesses."

At the end, Zhou Chen finally settled the movie.
