Clemens Holt, who came from a family of films, shot a small-budget microfilm with a video camera at the age of twelve, and then went straight to directing. At the age of nineteen, he won $10 million for a short film. The box office has officially entered the field of vision of film lovers around the world.
Having a father of a top Hollywood director, Little Holt did not completely follow the line of the family. Instead, he took a break from filming for two years after the first film and went to Huaxia to serve as Liu Lao's assistant director to learn knowledge and gain experience.
In those two years, Mr. Liu made a total of two films, the first of which was a Sino-Japanese co-movie called "Mochizuki Mountain".
Clemens joined the crew temporarily. The entire crew had been filming for half a month. He suddenly came in through the back door. Naturally, it was difficult to get along with these staff. Liu Lao only decided to help his old friend take his son for the sake of Old Holt's face. This does not mean that the old man is willing to be a nanny for Crimmans.
So, as soon as the Hollywood nobleman arrived on the set, he faced one of the most serious problems: communication difficulties.
Chinese is indeed popular all over the world, but the language is really difficult to learn. Crimmans can speak a little Chinese, but his level is really not very good, he can't cope with daily communication at all, and he can't speak Japanese at all.
The crew did not ask for an interpreter, because many of the staff in the crew are Japanese, they can speak some Chinese, and there is no problem in their work.
This time, there is only one Hollywood nobleman in the entire crew who needs to ask for an interpreter.
It's a simple thing to say, but it makes the producer suck.
"Our film was shot in a remote mountain village near Hakata. Where can I find a person who is proficient in Chinese, Japanese and English for Mr. Holt? The nearby mountain village is full of old people and children, and the younger generation. There's not even a shadow of him, don't speak Chinese, you can't speak English!"
Mr. Liu was also very upset: "Find it for him, the big deal is to find it in Bodo. His Chinese is so poor, how dare that old guy from Lance tell me that his son is very good at Chinese?"
The producer wanted to cry without tears: "Compared with Lance Holt, I think Kerry's Chinese is not bad."
Liu Lao sneered.
Without an interpreter, Crimmans would have had nowhere to go on set. Not every staff member has a good level of English, and it is impossible for staff with good English to follow him every day and not do their own business.
Since coming to the crew of "Mochizuki Mountain", Crimmans has been in a state of isolation and helplessness. The producer really worked hard to travel the mountain road to Hakata, and found a few translators for him.
"The crew still has to shoot for at least four months, and they have to shoot in this kind of deep mountain and old forest. There are only three, Kerry, you can choose one for yourself."
Among the three translators who were willing to be stationed in the mountains, the first was a long-haired woman who wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. The second is an elderly middle-aged man who speaks Chinese very well and has no Japanese accent at all.
And the third...
Kerry looked up and down for a long time, and every second he looked at it, the chubby guy lowered his face a little bit, his hands clenched into fists nervously, his fingernails digging into his flesh, and he was about to bleed.
The young Hollywood nobleman thought for a while and asked in English, "What's your name?"
The man replied with a mosquito humming sound: "Lin... Lin Shen."
Kerry frowned: "What did you say?"
Little Fatty suddenly raised his head nervously: "Lin Shen, my name is Lin Shen."
Unexpectedly, the other party would have such a big reaction, Kerry was stunned for a while, and asked two more questions. In the end, he turned his head and said to the producer, "It's Lin Shen. I can't understand the English of the other two people. This Chinese man's English doesn't have such a heavy accent, and he's okay."
The two of them never thought that the other would choose a fat man who was not good-looking. Even Lin Shen himself looked at the producer in disbelief, as if he didn't understand what he meant.
The producer was actually very puzzled, if he was asked to choose, he would definitely be the first not to choose this fat man. Anyway, this looks too big, and it looks so annoying. If he wants to choose a translator who has been together for four months, he will definitely choose a Japanese beauty translator. The accent is not a big deal, and the point is to please the eyes.
Of course, this is choosing a translator for Crimmans. Since the other party has decided so, the producer will also follow him.
Three days before he was selected as a translator, Lin Shen was still in a daze, as if he still didn't accept the facts. But Clemens wouldn't give him a chance to adapt. With an interpreter, he officially joined the crew and began to do things for Mr. Liu in a big way.
In a production crew, investors and producers are not counted. The director is naturally the core of everything, but the assistant directors are not necessarily second-hand. At first, Mr. Liu just simply helped his old friend and asked his son to come to his crew for an internship. But Crimmans' powerful action and efficiency caught his attention, and on the fifth day, he began to arrange very important tasks for him.
Since then, Crimmans has been busy in the crew, like a spinning top, with almost no time to rest. He is so busy, so his translation must not rest. The fat little fat man has to put in such a high-intensity work and become a bridge for Kerry to communicate with the crew.
A week ago he was an ordinary student in the school, but a week later he was running around in the mountains and forests.
Finally, after a busy period, at noon one day, Crimmans took some rice balls to prepare for his translator, but from a distance, he saw the translator holding a thick booklet, not knowing what he was reading. .
The blond noble boy raised his eyebrows and handed the rice ball over: "What are you looking at?" He glanced down at the booklet, only to see a lot of different characters and symbols drawn with colorful brushes, "Chinese? I don't know Chinese very well. , I can speak a little bit, but I can't recognize very few words. What are you looking at?"
The little fat man hurriedly took the rice ball and said flattered: "I'm reading the script. Xiao Li gave me the script for "Most Moon Mountain", so I just... just read it and play."
Kerry smiled: "Why are you reading this script? Show me how to write Wangyueshan in Chinese?"
The little fat man quickly turned the script to the first page, and pointed at the top title with trembling fingers: "Huo ... Mr. Holt, these three words are Mochizuki Mountain."
Crimmans glanced at it casually, but he wasn't really interested. But looking at the terrified face of this little fat man, he thought it was much more interesting than the square words full of scripts. After thinking about it, Crimmans suddenly raised his face and said coldly: "You are a translator, what are you doing with the script? The scene I want to shoot is a landscape scene, which has nothing to do with the scripts you read. What the hell are you doing? What did you come to our crew for? Huh?!"
The age difference between the two is not big, but the way Crimmans scolded people every day was deeply etched in Lin Shen's heart. He had long heard that this young man was actually the only son of international director Lance Holt. He started making movies at the age of 12, and even won an award at the age of 15. Coming to Mr. Liu's side was like gilding. However, his strength is still very strong. In the past few days, the crew has been frightened for a while. As long as he swears, no one dares to choke.
Suddenly being attacked by the other party like this, Lin Shen's cheeks were flushed with fright, and his eyes were a little sour.
Although he was Kerry's translator, the two of them didn't communicate much. The noble boy didn't talk to him at all. Today's chat was the first time. In this situation now, Lin Shen was anxious and afraid, so anxious that the other party misunderstood his intentions, and so afraid that the other party would dismiss him.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Shen was so anxious that tears were streaming down his cheeks, but when he heard Crimmans suddenly burst out laughing.
Lin Shen shed tears and looked up at the other side blankly. He had been the translator's translator for two weeks, and it was the first time he had seen this man laughing. Even though he was only twenty years old, this Mr. Holt was very mature. He had a cold face all day long. Only when he faced Mr. Liu could he have a good face. Even in the face of the beautiful actress, when she made an excessive request for fresh cherries, Mr. Holt could sneer without changing his face, scolding her for being whimsical and going home to dream.
But now, Mr. Holt was laughing.
Lin Shen didn't know why, Kerry laughed for a while, and said, "Just kidding."
Lin Shen: "... teasing me?"
Kerry didn't answer any more, but instead asked: "Did you come to Japan to study? What did you study, acting?" Kerry really thought it was impossible to become an actor with this appearance.
Lin Shen raised his hand to wipe away his tears and lowered his head: "I didn't learn to act."
Kerry asked, "How do you know so much film-related jargon if you don't study acting?"
The biggest difficulty in finding an interpreter for Kleemans is not to be proficient in Chinese, Japanese and English, but to know a lot of industry terminology.
Lin Shen lowered his head even more now: "I... I taught myself... "
"Want to be an actor?"
The little fat man nodded heavily, but quickly shook his head again.
Kerry ate the last bite of the rice ball and said casually: "I don't recommend you to be an actor. I have never seen your acting skills, so let's not talk about it. In terms of appearance, you are very difficult to become popular. Now whether it is Hollywood The market is still the Huaxia market. With your body type, you can at most have a supporting role. It can only be said that you are playing in the circle. If you want to be an actor, you have to lose weight first, as far as you are concerned, you can’t be popular.”
Lin Shen suddenly became anxious: "I don't want to be hot. Mr. Holt, I... I don't care if it's popular or not, I just want to act!"
Hearing this, Crimmans was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a half-smiling smile: "Then you show me a part? Just play this part." After saying that, his slender fingers casually pointed to the part of the script. on a certain section.
The little fat man squeezed the script tightly, got up and started to perform. Then five minutes later, a string of laughter louder than ever rang out.
"Hahahahaha no no no, you should stop playing this male lead, your image contrasts too much with his image. Little fat man, you are very interesting, you should be my translator, you speak English very well, I think... I think… hahahahahaha…”
This laughter attracted the attention of the rest of the crew, and made the little fat man feel ashamed, so he could only lower his head and hide the script behind him.
Kerry laughed for a while, raised his hand and patted the little fat man on the shoulder, then got up and went to work. But the surrounding voices came bit by bit—
"It was really funny just now, I laughed too, hahahaha."
"This fat man shouldn't be in that scene. Yesterday Sugita Ryu also acted in this scene. They compared... Oh no, I'm going to die of laughter, the difference is too big. When this fat man was acting, the flesh on his arms was all over the place. trembling…”
"Actually, Xiaolin people are also very good, but they really can't act."
Fatty Translator lowered his head even further and squeezed his fingers tightly, not saying a word.
However, things didn't work out that way.
Ever since he knew that his little fat translator wanted to act, Crimmans kept chatting with him about this topic with great interest, and even asked him to act a few paragraphs. Every time it was agreed that he was going to give him pointers, but every time he ended up laughing and laughing, he couldn't make any comments at all.
The script was full of notes made by the little fat man, and Kerry didn't notice that, every time he left, the little fat man had red eyes and seriously analyzed what was wrong when he acted just now.
Until a certain time, when the little fat man accidentally slipped and almost fell while acting, a male staff member passed by, and he happened to support Lin Shen to prevent him from falling.
After being helped up, Lin Shen hurriedly thanked him, but the staff member muttered: "If you are so fat, don't play the leading role. If you want to act, you can practice in private. What are you doing in such a big public place? You don't want to. Face, we still need to save face, that Sugita's assistant laughed at you during dinner yesterday, saying that we Chinese people are ignorant, saying... "
"What is he saying?"
Listening to the staff member's words, Lin Shen's eyes gradually became wet, his throat was dry and painful, and suddenly a voice came from in front of him. He looked up and saw that at some point, Kerry got up and walked in front of him, frowned and asked, "What did he just say, please translate it for me."
Lin Shen's voice was hoarse and his face was flushed with embarrassment, but he had to translate: "He said... Said, Sugita Ryuya's assistant thinks I shouldn't play this kind of play, I'm not suitable for my body shape, this... this role, no Perfect for me."
Klimans lowered his eyes, his voice was cold: "I asked you to be my translator, not to let you lie to me, my Chinese is not so bad that I can't understand the word 'mockery'. Lin Shen, right? Give me a word-for-word translation of his words."
Ten minutes later, Sugita Long also angrily approached Mr. Liu: "Mr. Liu, why did Mr. Holt kick my assistant out of the crew! Even if my assistant said bad things about his translation, it's my own. Personal assistant, what does it have to do with him. We can apologize to Mr. Lin, but Mr. Holt is not qualified to fire my assistant! He is not qualified to fire my assistant for me!"
Liu Lao's mouth twitched: "What is it? What happened?"
Sugita Ryu also recounted the matter angrily.
When he heard that Little Holt brought someone to find Ryuya Sugita, Mr. Liu was relatively calm. No matter how the assistant should not laugh at others, although Kerry's translation is indeed... um... There is a problem with the image, so I can't be like this. Talking bad about people behind their backs, it's okay to get angry. Liu Lao even thought: Kerry is not bad, and he will protect his shortcomings.
But when Liu Lao heard that Kerry actually punched the assistant as soon as they met, and arrogantly asked the assistant to bring the other side of his face up and let him beat him, Liu Lao was directly choked with saliva.
Sugita Long also said angrily: "He's so arrogant, it's just too much! Mr. Liu, if I don't handle this matter well, my role will not be filmed. My assistant just said a few words, why should he fight? people!"
"Just say a few words?" A low voice sounded from behind Sugita Ryuya, and I saw the blond-haired director grabbing his translator's arm with one hand, while giving Sugita Ryuya a sarcastic look, and said, "I thought it was Some boring white people like to engage in racial discrimination. It turns out that you Japanese people discriminate against others in private. The assistants of your Japanese actors, if they have the ability, speak my translation in front of me, since they have no ability, they only dare to be behind Said, it's better not to be caught by me."
Sugita Ryu also glared at him: "You... you you you!"
"Me?" Kleimans calmly looked at the extremely angry Sugita Ryuuya, "I actually beat not many stars in Hollywood. After all, there are not many people who annoyed me. But I did beat those two first-line stars. , I have beaten one in the super first-line. There are stars in the entertainment industry that I dare not beat up, but you are not among those people. So, do you want me to beat you?"
Sugita Longya: "Mr. Liu, you see, how can he be so nonsense!"
Clemens turned his head to look at his translator: "I think my hands are dirty when I beat him. If he really wants me to beat him, you can slap him twice for me."
The little fat man shook his head anxiously: "No... It's not that serious. Mr. Holt, they just said a few words behind my back, you don't need to... "
"It doesn't matter if you say other people, people who say I'm Crimmans Holt, just say one word and give me the fuck."
Sugita Long also said: "Mr. Liu, I can't make this scene, he is too deceiving!"
As he said that, Sugita Long also walked away quickly, with a look of anger that could not be revealed. However, when he walked to Crimmans' side, the blond young man sneered: "The tone is not small, do you dare to punch me?"
Sugita Ryu also clenched his fist and really smashed Crimmans in the face, but he stopped when he was still ten centimeters away, and turned away with gnashing teeth.
Kerry let out a disdainful snort from his nose: "I don't even have the courage."
Old Liu's sinister voice sounded from behind: "Crimmans Holt, you are really amazing. Then tell me, do I dare to hit you?"
This matter was finally resolved in this way. The assistant of Sugita Longya left the crew, but he didn't dismiss it. He just replaced an assistant to take care of the crew. Crimmans didn't want to apologize until the end. According to his words: "Sugita Ryuya? I don't have the right to apologize to him."
The arrogance and domineering of a movie family and a Hollywood nobleman made the entire "Most Moon Mountain" crew feel incisively and vividly overnight. Countless staff members suddenly realized that this young director who went through the back door is really not easy to offend, but they also despised this noble son: "Don't rely on the family to dare to be like this, if he is not surnamed Hall Terrible, I'd definitely smash his arrogant face out of shape."
"But he's also talking for us. The assistant of Sugita Ryuya has his eyes above the top all day long, and those Japanese assistants have been secretly speaking ill of us Chinese people."
"Then he can't beat people. It's better to ask people to apologize."
"...You think so. I think it's pretty cool, if only I could kick people out of the crew so casually."
For Sugita Ryuuya, he was just a new Japanese actor, and he didn't dare to be angry with Liu Lao or the Holt family at all. He lost his temper at most, but that was the end of the matter. However, for Crimmans, he doesn't care about Sugita Ryūya's mood, he just wants to know: "Since you know that they scold you like that in private, why are you acting in public?"
After being called by his father across the ocean and severely scolded, Crimmans was in a very unhappy mood at this time. He frantically ruffled his golden hair, and between the messy blond hair was a pair of blue eyes - in terms of appearance, he was also qualified to despise that Sugita Ryuya.
Lin Shen lowered his head again.
Clemens became more irritable: "I'll let you speak and answer my questions."
The little fat man trembled: "You said... You said you wanted to see me act, you can give me advice, I... I don't want to miss such an opportunity. Mr. Holt, Mr. Liu also praised you, saying that you are born The director of . So... So I want to get your advice, just a word... A word is fine... "
Crimmans stopped suddenly.
After a long time, he murmured, "Have I ever said something like this?"
Lin Shen nodded.
He asked again: "...then have I instructed you?"
Lin Shen didn't move any more, but Krimmans pushed the table away angrily: "Forget it, it's my fault this time. You go to my room every night from now on, don't you want to act? I can't help you lose weight. , This is your own business, but I can still suggest some corrections for you."
Hearing this, the little fat man immediately raised his head and looked at the person in front of him dumbly.
Like a person, some people fall in love at first sight, and some people need an opportunity.
At that time, Climans probably never knew. He was obviously full of irritability, and even rubbed his supple blonde hair into a pile of weeds, but when he saw the little chubby man, he suddenly felt that his body It seems to be emitting light.
Some people are bad in the depths, with human faces and animal hearts.
Some people are bad on the surface, wrapping a soft heart with a disgusting skin.
"Since then, I can't hate him, I can't hate him anymore. In fact, many times he doesn't understand what he's doing, whether he will hurt others by doing such a behavior. But brother Chu, I can't hate him, even if He called me a pig, he said he was disgusting to have sex with a pig like me, Brother Chu... I really can't hate him, I don't even know how to hate him... "
