Chapter 553: The nun is also crazy
After Whoopi Goldberg chatted warmly with Qiao Feng and Wang Xuxian, and looked around to see the set set for a while, director Emily Adorino was also ready for the next position, and after Qiao Feng signaled that it was okay, Whoopi Goldberg apologized and went over to continue filming the next shots.
Whoopi Goldberg plays a female singer in the movie named De Lauris, a famous black female singer in the Moonlight Nightclub.
The owner of the nightclub, Vincent, the leader of the underworld, has an ambiguous relationship with her. Because Vincent gave her the fur coat his wife was wearing, De Lauris angrily tried to return it to Vincent, but unexpectedly ran into Vincent's envoys killing people.
She escaped the killer and told the police officer, Sude, what had happened. Sude asked her to testify in court then. Before that, in order to ensure her safety, she was hidden in the monastery of St. Catherine.
De Lauris was a lively, proactive person who couldn't stand the silence and coldness of the monastery. She ran out to sing and dance at night, and the dean had to put her in the choir, but she was not happy with the bad choir.
So the choir she had reformed sang popular songs at Mass, but the words were changed to praise God. Unexpectedly, this was appreciated by the bishop. De Lauris was emboldened, and she dragged the nuns out on the streets to do hygiene, paint murals, and make propaganda, so that people from the television station came to shoot the interviews, but this undoubtedly ruined Sude's plans. This made Sude very angry.
The news of the Pope's decision to visit the convent made the nuns excited, and the choir intensified their preparations. But at this point, Sude told De Lauris that the court had decided to hear Vincent's case early and that she would soon be free, but she felt that it was too soon.
The day before the Pope's arrival, an insider in the police told Vincent, and by the time Sud found Di Lauris, she had been captured by Vincent's men. The nuns were furious when they heard the news and decided to rescue De Lauris.
At the Moonlight Nightclub, Vincent's men thought that De Lauris was a real nun, and feared that God would punish her for killing her, so they did not do it. The nuns arrived just in time, and when Vincent was about to take matters into his own hands, Sude arrived to save them, and Vincent was arrested.
In the end, the concert for the Pope took place as scheduled, and the Pope was very pleased and satisfied. Di Lauris posed for a picture with the Pope and she really became famous in one fell swoop.
The churches in this film are real, but some of the interior shots are set in a studio, and many of the exterior scenes are shot at St. Paul's Catholic Church in San Francisco.
What's more interesting is the scene of the police station, the story is set in the western Nevada city of Reno, USA.It's just that the director thinks that the appearance of Reno's police station looks "not like a police department", so the finished police station footage was actually filmed at Reno's post office. Outside the post office, a patrol car driven by the film's security guards is parked to make the scene more realistic
The footage that Whoopi Goldberg is now involved in filming is a scene of the nuns singing.
After she was placed in the choir, she found that the nuns sang at different levels, sang in the wrong range, and the conductor could not keep up with the rhythm, and the nuns in the choir were completely indiscriminate, and Whoopi Goldberg excused himself and said that he could not sing.
Just when she wanted to leave, the old nun in charge of the conductor heard another nun say that Whoopi Goldberg had been a professional and had done music before.
This paragraph has a deep meaning, and it wants to show that no matter how well-behaved and desireless a person seems to be, even if it is a nun who dedicates herself to God, he has his own desires, his own thoughts, and his own interests.
Even nuns will fight and conflict with each other for something that concerns their own interests or other rights, status, and so on.
What the old nun didn't expect was that after she said the accusation that the dean's mother wanted Whoopi Goldberg to replace her, none of the other nuns turned to her, and they all asked Whoopi Goldberg to help them get the choir ready.
Of course, after the old nun was dissatisfied, she also showed the attitude she should have as a nun and relinquished her command.
Whoopi Goldberg distinguished the nuns according to the range of treble and bass and asked them to line up again, and then asked the nuns to talk about a few tones, adjust the tone a few times, and explain how to sing, and finally the nuns sang the sound of a chorus.
In the first Mass after the rehearsal, the nuns sang orthodox chants, and then, while the dean smiled and approved, the music on the stage changed from pop to words in praise of God.
Not only that, but more pop songs have been adapted since then, and there are many episodes in the movie that are old songs that rewrite the lyrics to create a comedic effect.
Whoopi Goldberg is now going to shoot the song that the Pope sings at the end of the day, called Finale - I ill Follo Him.
This is a famous song, after the original space-time nun was also released wildly, this song also became popular all over the world, especially in the Western world where God is believed, it is a mess of fire, and there are episodes of this song in many movies.
The hall was still very empty, but when the director was preparing to shoot, a large group of people quickly came out of various places, plus some staff who had nothing to do, and after a few minutes, the huge hall was almost full.
Seeing this situation, Qiao Feng didn't stand in the middle of the way, and also pulled Wang Xuxian to find a vacant seat and sit down.
Then, several camera positions were all ready, and whoever it was time to aim at was aligned, and director Emili Adorino shouted to start.
The camera aimed at the stage is slowly pushed off the track by the staff, first the old nun who plays the piano, then the two old nuns in the choir.
The camera slowly glides over the three rows of nuns, and the expressions of the nuns are clearly visible, and the beautiful songs of praise to the Lord are also emanating from the mouths of the nuns.
I ill follo Him,
Follo Him herever He may go,
And near Him, I alays ill be
For nothing can keep me aay,He is my destiny.
I ill follo Him,
Ever since He touched my heart I kne,
There isn't an ocean too deep,
A mountain so high it can keep,
Keep me aay, aay from His love.
..................
I want to follow you
Follow you to the end of the cape
Always by your side
Do not change direction in any way
Rest this life on your heart
I want to follow you
The moment you touched my heart
No matter how deep the sea is
No matter how high the mountain is, it can't
Stand in the way of my love for you
