Chapter 497: Language Problems

When Zhou Chen arrived at the crew, many actors had already arrived.

Because of Zhou Chen's selection method, these actors are a group of extremely dedicated and good actors.

At this time, they are all practicing against the script.

Even Zhou Chen's arrival did not distract him from flattery, but concentrated on reading his lines.

And Zhou Chen naturally did not feel angry for this reason, on the contrary, he was very pleased with the performance of the actors.

Of course, except for Yang Jinming in front of him.

Yang Jinming has no problems with his acting skills.

After all, he also snatched the role of Pastor Liu in the hands of a group of old drama bones and even Chen Shouming.

said that he had a problem with his acting skills, and he somewhat looked down on those actors who were defeated.

But as an elderly actor, he has many problems common to older actors.

That is, he is not good at foreign languages, and even if he knows more or less English now, he doesn't know anything.

At this moment, Yang Jinming was holding the script and asking an old man with thick eyes beside him.

"Please help me look at this word."

This old man is naturally not an actor, but an English teacher who the crew helped contact.

It can be heard that he is quite professional, but in Yang Jinming's ears, it is different.

"The part of speech of this word has these meanings, and it depends on the context to use it."

"If it is in the past tense, then the word means ......"

Yang Jinming felt like he was listening to a book from heaven, but he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to interrupt others.

So I had to hold on to my spirit to listen, but the more I listened, the more confused I became, and even the sleepiness surged in my body.

"Let me teach you."

Just when Yang Jinming was about to fall asleep, Zhou Chen stood up.

Language problems are quite normal when the crew is filming.

For example, Wang Jun, another leading actor in the crew, once played a Japanese in his early years.

But he didn't speak Japanese at the time.

So I had to memorize words by rote.

The only official training I received was to learn a fifty-tone diagram.

It's just to ensure the standard pronunciation.

That's why Zhou Chen stood up and said that Zhou Chen would teach.

But this move made the old teacher angry.

He is not an English teacher from a rural elementary school, but a foreign language professor from a well-known school.

Teaching English to a man his age here is already an act of self-defeating.

What's the deal with being replaced? Is this disgusting for teaching yourself badly? It's a slap in the face!

"Can you teach better than me?"

The old professor was arrogant, he didn't know how many translators he had taught, and how many students had gone abroad to study.

There are even some examiners who are responsible for writing questions for the IELTS and TOEFL exams.

He is absolutely confident in his ability to teach English.

Zhou Chen could also hear his confidence.

And I also recognize the quality of his lectures.

In the answer just now, the question is explained in simple terms, and this ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

So he was very polite to this professor.

"No, I'm quite impressed by the ability of my predecessors."

"It's just that I don't think Yang Jinming needs such advanced theoretical knowledge now."

Yes, although this one is very good, Yang Jinming doesn't need it!

He just wants to act, he can read and speak.

It's useless to have complex things like contexts and tenses.

To put it bluntly, Yang Jinming should find an English teacher from an elementary school to give a lecture.

It's just that Zhou Chen's crew naturally has a habit with Zhou Chen, that is, they must do their best in everything.

To tutor actors in English, you need to use the best tutors.

Then master the lines in the shortest possible time.

It's just that this time it's self-defeating.

The old professor also blushed, obviously thinking of this.

However, for the sake of face, we can't just admit our mistakes.

So he provoked Zhou Chen, "Then you can answer me a question and prove your strength." ”

In this way, he can shirk being taught, he doesn't teach and then leaves.

So he asked Zhou Chen in English: "Which is your favorite movie?" ”

This question can be said to be quite simple for film and television workers, and the old professor has decided that even if Zhou Chen speaks Chinese, he will pass.

But when he looked at Zhou Chen's slightly thoughtful appearance, he was in a hurry.

You don't understand all this question, do you? There are no obscure words.

And just now I said that he came to teach, so he should also have some English skills.

But if I can't answer, how will I step down?

For a while, Yang Jinming couldn't tell which of the two people was the one who answered the question, and it was cute enough.

But he was clearly overly concerned.

How could Zhou Chen not understand this question, but really thinking about it.

If you want to talk about the movies he likes, there are many, at least he can put together a name for the dish.

But if you decide one of them, the "most" comes out.

Then he is somewhat inadequate.

After pondering for a long time, Zhou Chen finally spoke, and at this moment, the old professor was excited like a child.

He understands that the older he gets, the younger.

"It's a question that makes me a little elusive, and the essence of the movie is ......"

"If I had to comment on my favorite movies from a personal point of view, I would only have favorite shots, like ...... from Kill Bill"

“…… That's my answer to that question. ”

Zhou Chen didn't know that the other party was going to give him the steps, and he really thought it was the professor's test of himself.

So he opened his mouth and came a three-minute speech.

I don't know how much advanced syntax is used in the whole process.

What's more, the pronunciation has always been the standard London accent.

It's even more standard than the nine-pound fifteen penny of the college entrance exam.

So the old professor's expression also kept changing.

From surprise to satisfaction at the beginning of answering the question, then from satisfaction to astonishment, and finally to shock.

He never expected that Zhou Chen, an actor like him, would have a level of speaking that made him a little embarrassed.

On a whim, he drew a few more questions from Zhou Chen, and these questions were not as simple as the previous questions.

The words and grammar used are extremely complex.

Don't say it's listening, even if it's a text and gets it on the test paper.

Then let the English major do it, and no one will necessarily be able to see what the passage means.

Just such an over-the-top question, Zhou Chen not only understood, but also answered it with a mouthful of words.

And the old professor's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

In the end, looking at Zhou Chen's eyes, it was already like looking at a peerless treasure.

"Are you interested in coming to our school as a professor?"
