"My name is Qin Ze, and I'm her manager. During filming, please contact me if you have anything to do." Qin Ze introduced himself in fluent English. The older sister of a top student at Fudan University.
Although there is nothing wrong with my sister's English, she speaks slowly and gets stuck from time to time. This is a common problem of most non-English major students in China. They can read an English article without hindrance, but they cannot read it fluently. Especially when communicating.
"This is the first time we have cooperated. Is there anything to be taboo about?" Davis looked very gentlemanly.
"The request has been stated in the email. Apart from that, there are no other taboos." Qin Ze replied on behalf of his sister, after all, he is the one who speaks English better now.
No kissing scenes, no passionate scenes, and if there are any, doubles must be used. This is what the two parties have communicated before.
Of course, no problem, although the American side always has kissing scenes and sex scenes, but the role of the elder sister is only a female supporting role, one of the important female supporting roles, and filming a passionate scene for a female supporting role is completely a nonsense plot, and the audience will scold her.
Davis is very talkative, and his speaking style has classic American humor. After finishing speaking, he will look at you seriously. Qin Ze, who should cooperate with him in the performance, can't pretend to turn a blind eye, so he laughed.
Qin Ze, who has been in forums, post bars, and UC all year round, is not inferior to Qin Ze in his kung fu. As a keyboard expert, he must have more than ten tons of gossip and jokes in his mind, so he is not afraid of talking.
Qin Baobao and Brandon were reduced to supporting roles, occasionally echoing a few words, most of the time listening to them bragging.
While bored, Qin Baobao noticed a detail, a detail that Su Yu had mentioned to his younger brother. Su Yu said, if you see a foreigner eating particularly loudly and dancing, it must be a rice guy.
It is said that foreigners speak softly when eating, which probably refers to island countries and some European countries.
She found that even such a relatively high-end restaurant has no shortage of chattering customers.
Not much experience abroad, Qin Baobao observed silently.
After a few glasses of red wine, Qin Ze forced Davis to tell him a Chinese joke, but his sister kicked him hard with the toe of a shoe, so he gave up.
So it came to the director's old profession again. Qin Ze said that he is also half a director, and he is both the screenwriter and the director of "A Chinese Journey to the West".
Davis was taken aback: "You filmed Westward Journey? It broke the box office record in China, and our sales here are also good."
He has never watched Journey to the West, otherwise it is impossible not to recognize Qin Ze. But he had heard the name of this movie. When it was promoted in the United States, it claimed to have broken the box office record in China. Afterwards, he paid attention to Qin Baobao and knew more about the fact that she won the actress with this movie.
Brandon, who is a screenwriter, also looked at him with admiration, and was even more puzzled: "Aren't you an agent?"
Qin Ze was taken aback, and said to himself, I am the top traffic niche in the country after all, have you never heard of me, really embarrassing.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "It's true that I'm a manager, but I'm still a singer, an actor, a composer, an entrepreneur, and of course a screenwriter."
The two gringos stared wide-eyed, and Brandon said, are you kidding me
"NO!" Qin Baobao explained: "My younger brother is recognized as an all-rounder in the entertainment industry. Haven't you guys watched Westward Journey? He is the leading actor. He is the leading actor in all my songs and movies. .In China, many singers want a song from him, and they can’t get it.”
She chatted for a long time in her not-so-fluent spoken language, showing off her younger brother. If it wasn't for the language barrier, she would suggest that they look it up on Baidu.
Davis and Blanton made an expression of "I'm scared and Xiao Yugan" as a perfunctory expression, but in fact they didn't believe it. Instead, they felt that the two Chinese people like to brag.
Foreigners eat dinner very slowly, chatting while eating, most of the time drinking, Qin Baobao is good at drinking, but it is easy to get on his face, at this time his face is flushed, very charming, and the chat is more familiar, so he asked the director for script.
"Is the audition tomorrow right? I want to read the script first today."
"No, no audition tomorrow, you guys come get the script tomorrow," Davis said.
"I have it here if you want it." Brandon took out the script from his bag, and tested Qin Ze by the way: "If you want to read it too, give me some advice."
Qin Baobao took over, and what Brandon gave her was the overall script, not the role script, which was written in English, which was not difficult for Qin Baobao, but there were too many contents, and it was a bit troublesome for her to find her own role.
After casually looking at it, the script was thrown to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze looked with relish, and he was very interested in how the Hollywood script was written. He is proficient in advanced English, not to mention reading the script, even the translation is not difficult for him.
He doesn't watch many superhero movies in the United States, and he doesn't know as much as those loyal fans, but he has watched a lot. The most impressive one is "King Kong Dog", a genetically modified hero with a keen sense of smell like a dog. Heroic in the city.
Art comes from life, and the same is true of scripts, so it can be seen from these movies that there are quite a lot of gun violence and robberies in the United States.
In addition, he has also watched American blockbusters in the parallel world in the points mall, which are also superhero-themed movies. The superheroes in the two worlds are slightly different. For example, the power system in that world is extremely chaotic, and it cannot be justified logically.
In this regard, the Hollywood superheroes in his world are much more rigorous, but each hero here is independent.
The script is about a young archeology professor who, by chance, discovers ancient relics, the relics of gods. He obtained a blue gem in the ruins, which is the heart of God, and it is also the core of sealing the evil god.
The archeology professor accidentally fused the heart of God, obtained the power inherited from God, and became a superhero since then, but at the same time released the sealed evil god.
The archeology professor who obtained supernatural powers made a fortune by relying on superpowers. He had endless money and endless sex. Until one day, a goddess from the East came to him and said that you are a bastard, and you have released the evil god. You know, the world is about to end, and you're still here, having fun and sleeping with women.
The evil god was originally a god, but he was sealed because he wanted to destroy the world. His rebirth alarmed the god king, so he sent his son to help the protagonist re-seal the evil god.
At the same time, the goddess from the east is also assisting the protagonist. The two sides fought fiercely in the city, and finally sealed the evil god after untold hardships.
Look, it's still the old routine, adventures, growth, and boss fights.
Obviously it is a Greek mythology system, suddenly inserting an oriental goddess, it feels like a husky mixed into a pack of wolves, which is very inconsistent. Probably in order to cater to the Chinese market, the characters were forcibly added.
Qin Ze finished reading at a very fast speed, took a sip of red wine first, and said, "Don't you think the role of the Oriental Goddess is too abrupt? The evil god in the Greek mythology system has nothing to do with her."
Brandon nodded: "I know, we will modify it a little later, just add a few sentences in the narration: "The goddess from the East sealed the evil god together with the god" as a prefix comment, so that it is reasonable for her to help seal the evil god."
It was just a small problem, so Brandon let it go and made changes later.
"Anymore?"
"Not anymore." Qin Ze shook his head.
Hearing this, Brandon was very disappointed. He thought to himself, if Qin Ze was really the screenwriter of "A Chinese Journey to the West", then his advice in the professional field shouldn't be so simple and rough. It really is bragging. It's ridiculous that he still looked forward to it. .
Davis shook his head and laughed.
"But have you ever thought about shooting superheroes in another way?" Qin Ze said, "I have some suggestions in this regard."
"Another way?" Brandon and Davis looked at each other, wondering: "How to change, what aspect are you referring to?"
