Chapter 259: Neon Variety Show

Several other leading actors couldn't help but come over when they saw Jiang Bai and Chiba Shinichi chatting enthusiastically.

When they learned that Jiang Bai had taught their old-timer Chiba Shinichi Chinese before, they couldn't help but be interested.

And Jiang Bai naturally will not let go of this opportunity for cultural export.

I began to teach enthusiastically.

But it didn't take long for the director to call everyone away.

Previously, they only filmed the scene where the previous protagonist was in school in Los Angeles, so these actors on the neon side are also working with him for the first time in addition to the starring role.

Therefore, a pre-shooting meeting is essential.

After Lin Yibin roughly explained their identities to everyone, he focused on Jiang Bai about the precautions.

Although China, like the beautiful country, uses the left drive on the car, the neon cars here are all right-hand drive, and the road is also driven on the left, which is completely opposite to the country.

In addition, all the filming plots after this film are mainly in Tokyo, so it is natural to drive on the right side according to the habit here.

Therefore, ginger white also needs to adapt in advance.

In addition, Jiang Bai had talked to him before, and he wanted to complete all the shooting by himself in the future, so Jiang Bai had to learn to drift.

Although Jiang Bai has been exposed to this kind of action when driving and will also use it in rallying, this kind of scene will be used a lot in this "Fast and Furious 3 Tokyo Drift".

Not only indoors such as parking lots, but also in the mountains and training grounds.

These things need to be specially learned.

After that, he began to give the third male in this film, that is, Brian Tyre, who plays DK, what he needs to pay attention to.

Briante, as the first villain in this film, also has a lot of drag racing and drifting scenes, but he will use a stand-in when the time comes, but even so, there are some motion capture shots of cornering that require him to show his face.

After telling everyone, Lin Yibin asked everyone to act separately and familiarize themselves with the script, while the first male and the second male and the third male wanted to familiarize themselves with the car.

The three of them each have their own instructors, and the instructor Jiang Bai was assigned to is the most authoritative in the industry.

However, the racer who instructed Jiang Bai was a neon man, and he couldn't understand English, and Jiang Bai couldn't understand Japanese very well, so there was another translator in the back seat.

Their practice car is not a sports car, but a modified sedan with decent performance and seats in the back, which is basically only used as a guide for the actors in the crew.

This level of props may seem a bit extravagant elsewhere, but for a crew like Fast and Furious, it's nothing, and they use hundreds of cars from the very beginning to the end of the film.

The cost of the car alone is tens of millions of dollars, and this is because the film is sponsored by several major car companies, Toyota, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi.

Otherwise, they would have to spend at least hundreds of millions of dollars on cars alone.

In the car, the coach told Jiang Bai about the precautions for driving a car on their side, and the translator was also working hard to translate.

After finishing speaking, the coach drove the car to demonstrate it first, while Jiang Bai carefully watched the coach's movements and observed the opponent's braking timing.

"Although we are making a movie, this is for the audience to see, so many shots are real shots, if you feel that you are not suitable in the process, you must tell the director in time and let him arrange a stand-in for you."

"No problem."

After the coach finished the demonstration, Jiang Bai personally got in the car to try.

He began his practice in an open field, first adapting to the rules of right-hand drive and then drifting in the right-hand drive.

At first, Jiang Bai was really unaccustomed to it, but after a few days, Jiang Bai gradually got a feel.

The coach was very satisfied with Jiang Bai's learning speed.

"Jiang Bai, I heard that you are the rally champion over there, and now it seems that you are really powerful."

Jiang Bai smiled and nodded: "Now I'm just practicing for making movies, so it's not very difficult, if it really gets to the top of the arena, it's not so easy." ”

"It's true that the road situation on the race track is more complicated, you are just driving on a normal track now, and if you actually go to those racing competitions abroad, it is not so easy."

The two of them had a good conversation in the front, but the interpreter in the back was offended.

In the past few days, he has been floating around in the car with the two of them every day, and every time he gets in the car, the first thing he has to do is to check whether his seat belt is fastened, and then hold on to the handrail tightly.

To avoid being thrown out, if there is a conversation between the two in the process, he has to translate in time.

In the first two days, he had to get out of the car and vomit for a long time after each lap, but after that, he had to continue to come up and translate.

Jiang Bai practiced for a total of a week, and the translator lost eight pounds directly because of this.

On the day when the crew was ready to start filming, the translator also deliberately found Jiang Bai and said that he had no appetite for food these days, and just sitting there would feel like the world was spinning, and his body would unconsciously begin to tilt.

Even at night, when he was sleeping, all he dreamed was that he was drifting in Jiang Bai's car.

For two days, he rolled straight out of bed and fell to the ground.

"I've worked hard for you these past few days, and I'll invite you out to eat when I'm not busy."

"Eating is not a big problem, I just want to ask you if you need to practice driving in the future? Actually, if you don't have anything to do, I can teach you Japanese. ”

Jiang Bai patted the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, there will definitely be practice, but it's okay to teach me Japanese or something, if you can choose a teacher, I hope to choose a young and beautiful girl." ”

The translator was delighted: "Really? That's great, Mr. Jiang Bai, don't worry, I will definitely find you a beautiful girl to teach you Japanese! ”

After saying that, he walked away.

The director gave Jiang Bai enough time to train.

Anyway, as long as it can present a better effect, it is trivial to spend a few more days and spend a little more money.

The first few days they were going to shoot interior scenes, which lasted about a week, and the rest of the 20 days or so they were going to shoot some street drag racing scenes.

The indoor scenes are relatively easy to film, mainly in the school with his black brother partner.

And the translator really found him a Japanese teacher.

"Isn't this Miss Kitagawa?"

Jiang Bai looked at each other in surprise.

"yes, isn't that what you asked for? After that, I went to the director and told me that Miss Kitagawa was arranged for you by the director. ”

Miss Kitagawa's full name is Keiko Kitagawa, and she plays her friend in this movie, who also has to help train the car.

From Jiang Bai's point of view, this Kitagawa Keiko is actually much more beautiful than the heroine in the play.

Then Kitagawa Keiko first respectfully called Senior Jiang, then bowed deeply, and then stretched out his hand and said in English: "In the future, I will be Senior Jiang's Japanese teacher, please take care of me." ”

Looking at the other party's appearance, Jiang Bai also stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party.

In the days that followed, there was filming during the day, no drama to practice driving, and at night if there was a night scene, I would shoot it, and if I didn't, I would learn Japanese with Keiko Kitagawa for a while.

In line with the idea that the best way to learn a language is by doing, Keiko Kitagawa stayed at Jiang Bai's for several nights.

Keiko Kitagawa deserves to make her model debut, and soon Jiang Bai's Japanese level improved by leaps and bounds.

And the neon girl is indeed very moist to use, and she is also very well-behaved, and when she goes out, Jiang Bai has no psychological burden at all.

He doesn't have any plans to develop further with Keiko Kitagawa.,Anyway, there's a high probability that everyone won't contact after that.,Now it's just as a Japanese teacher.,So everyone communicates.。

On the eighth day.

In the morning, Lin Yibin found Jiang Bai and said that there were some parts of the drama that needed to be refilmed, and he changed the script again.

After finishing the filming of the morning's literary drama, Lin Yibin suddenly called Jiang Bai aside and said that a neon TV station wanted to invite Jiang Bai to participate in a show.

And Lin Yibin also really wants Jiang Bai to go, after all, this is also a publicity for their movie.

"I don't have a problem, but the appearance fee on their side ......"

"Neon's artist appearance fee is not that high, about 3 million yen, but this is also good for your fan market here, so I suggest you don't worry too much about money."

Three million yen is now converted into almost a hundred thousand, considering that his popularity here is indeed still on the surface, so Jiang Bai agreed.

The recording time is three days later, and Lin Yibin is also very smart, since you want to invite Jiang Bai over, then take another actor from us to go over, at first he wanted to send the protagonist of this drama with him.

But the program team said that it would not be impossible to take another one, but they still hoped that local actors could go over to people from beautiful countries.

So Lin Yibin wanted to let the actor who played the villain male lead go over, but the program team said that although this actor has Japanese ancestry, he has always developed in a beautiful country.

There's no way, he wants to recommend Chiba Shinichi to go over, Chiba Shinichi is a neon local actor, and his popularity is okay, and his acting skills are also very good.

But after Chiba Shinichi learned about it, he said that he was not suitable for that kind of show.

In the end, Lin Yibin had no choice but to take a wife, Mu Cong, over.

His wife, Mu Cong, is also a local actor, but there are really few scenes in this drama, but the other party has indeed played a lot of roles here.

In the end, the program team agreed.

Jiang Bai agreed to show here, and asked the crew and the TV station on Neon's side to contact their own company, and everyone signed the contract.

After all, this is a business practice, and everything is done according to the contract.

And when Zhao Zhe learned that Jiang Bai had received an invitation to a well-known local program after filming in Neon for more than ten days, he also quickly found a professional translator in China, signed and sealed the contract after reading it.

Jiang Bai is here, and there are four locations to shoot next.

The first is at the dock in a port.

Lin Yibin deliberately set up a training ground here, where Jiang Bai's character Bai wants to teach the protagonist Shann to drift.

The drift took a day to shoot, and at first Shane had to hit every corner, but then every corner could be drifted beautifully.

Of course, just like Lin Yibin said before, let the actors come to the scenes of showing their faces, and the rest will be done by the stand-in.

So the car crashed here again and again, and several times the action cameras on the car fell off.

But the wealthy crew on the other side waved their hands, and people quickly took out the tape inside and replaced it with a new camera.

The second shot is on the mountain, Jiang Bai is about to drive the car to drift through the corner, and now drifting is still relatively simple for Jiang Bai, let alone in a well-prepared situation.

Every time Jiang Bai passed the corner beautifully, the staff on the scene would burst into warm applause.

In the blink of an eye, two days have passed.

And in the evening, Jiang Bai learned that Lin Yibin had been worrying about something recently.

Next, they had to shoot street racing, but when they were filming, they needed to close the road section, which had to negotiate with the local authorities and get approval.

They have been applying since they first came to Neon, but until now the approval has not been completed.

So there was no way to shoot tomorrow.

"No wonder you can let me go directly to the show, this is a favor." Jiang Bai said with a sigh.

"I can't say that, I've already figured out a solution."

"What's the solution?"

"I can't tell you about this yet, but you'll know when the time comes." Lin Yibin said mysteriously.

couldn't ask from the director's mouth, Zhang Jiangbai stopped asking, anyway, Lin Yibin had to solve this matter.

On the third day, Jiang Bai took the car of the program team according to the time agreed before, and went to the TV station early in the morning.

As a result, it happened to be the morning rush hour here, and the time was about to be too late, and the traffic did not move.

Jiang Bai directly asked the driver how far he was from the destination, and after learning that it was only a little more than a kilometer, he got out of the car and walked to it.

Seeing this, the other staff members also hurriedly followed Jiang Bai's footsteps, shooting while walking, anyway, they had to record these shots.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Bai arrived at the TV station, and there were people here to greet him.

And there's also a camera that's shooting here.

The TV host who greeted him said to the photographer that they would be welcoming a mysterious guest today.

As a result, the photographer pointed back: "Is that Mr. Jiang?" ”

The host looked back and found that it was true, and he was also a little strange, why Jiang Bai didn't come by car, and the staff behind him also looked sweaty.

"Mr. Jiang, where's your car?"

"We're stuck in traffic and the car is still on the road."

Jiang Bai said directly in Chinese, and the translator around him was also conveying it synchronously.

After the host learned about it, he immediately invited Jiang Bai in.

At the same time, in the dressing room at the back of the studio, a group of actors were curiously guessing who the guests would be today.

"Satomi, I heard from the director that there is a Chinese guest who is also a kung fu star today, do you think he should be Jackie Chan?"
