Chapter 787 Are you of Chinese descent?
Reality always has some amazing similarities. The crew of "The Princess of the Return of the Pearl" accumulated Zhu Di's final scenes together, waiting for Boss Jia to make a guest appearance.
The crew of "Titanic" also left the plot of the Chinese that was not filmed at the end, waiting for our boss Jia to come and shoot it in person.
"Mr. Jia, don't be too nervous, just act as you normally would!" Before starting filming, James Cameron said to our boss Jia with a kind attitude.
This made the other members in the crew who had worked with us Director Cameron for more than a year feel incredible. When did this director have such a friendly time, and he is also a Chinese person.
Alas, if these people knew that more than 70% of the funds in the whole movie were provided by our boss Jia, they would understand why James Cameron was so kind.
"What if I fail the show?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.
"It's okay, we have other professional actors to help you. Even if the performance is not good, you can still adjust it through editing or some post-production means. So Mr. Jia, don't worry, just treat it as a game!" James Cameron's implication is that if our boss Jia really doesn't act well, then just delete the plot, delete the close-ups of the face, or simply adjust it later. In short, Boss Jia's performance is not important, it is just to satisfy our big investors.
"Then I'm relieved!" Boss Jia smiled and then met his other professional teammates.
Because there were 8 Chinese people in history, James Cameron also found 7 Chinese actors for Boss Jia. These should be actors who have been living in Hollywood for a long time, and there will not be too many problems in acting.
"Good morning everyone!" Boss Jia did not have any airs and warmly greeted his seven companions.
"..." As a result, no one responded to Boss Jia, and they all looked at our Boss Jia like a fool, which made our Boss Jia very embarrassed.
"Are you targeting me?" Boss Jia frowned and asked. He was already a little angry. His teammates are like this, how can they cooperate with the filming?
"Mr. Jia, this is the situation!" At the critical moment, a crew member hurried over and said in some unfluent Chinese, "Mr. Jia... these 7 actors...are...actors, although they are all Asian faces, they... are all American actors. They have grown up... in... on the land of the United States, so their Chinese is not very...good, I don't understand what you mean!"
"What! You asked a group of people who don't understand Chinese to play Chinese laborers!" Boss Jia was shocked on the spot.
"Mr. Jia... don't be angry... as long as they are all Chinese faces... faces... Isn't that enough?" the drama manager said quickly.
"Enough!" Boss Jia was too lazy to listen to the poor Chinese of the theater anymore, and said in fluent English, "I'll give it a try!"
Boss Jia suppressed the displeasure in his heart and joined the seven people. These seven people were obviously very unhappy with Boss Jia, a Chinese-speaking alien, and were full of contempt.
"Everyone, let's shoot the first scene first, that is, the plot of burning the boiler in the boiler room. Please prepare for it, let's put on some makeup first!" said the deputy director on the scene, and then the makeup artist and the costumer began to put on makeup for everyone.
In fact, Boss Jia and the eight are relatively simple in clothing, because eight are boilers. In the high temperature environment of the boiler room, wearing clothes is completely a mortal act. The actors tie a circle of rags around their waists and then work directly with their muscles exposed.
However, in order to make these white and tender actors look like boilers in the boiler room, makeup artists also need to turn their skin into bronze.
In this regard, we must praise the American crew. The details are indeed very real. Not only does it turn Boss Jia's white and tender skin into the skin of a bronze worker, but it also specially paints many burn scars on its body, showing the state of working in a special environment like the boiler room.
There was no problem with all this, but the problem occurred. When the crew members were holding a string of braids and preparing to pick them up for Boss Jia, Boss Jia exploded on the spot.
"What a disgusting thing this is? I will never wear it!" Boss Jia grabbed his braid and threw it out more than ten meters away.
"This..." The entire crew was shocked by Boss Jia's behavior. They looked at Boss Jia blankly, not knowing how to deal with it.
If you dare to throw away the makeup artist's props directly, Boss Jia is definitely the first actor in history to do so.
"What are you doing? Do you have a little dedication? How can you lose important props?" Before the crew and the makeup artist could not help but speak alone, and directly accused Boss Jia in fluent English.
This person is one of Boss Jia’s Chinese compatriots... Oh, to be precise, he is one of the American actors who play the Chinese.
"This is not an important prop, this is a wrong prop, this is a prop that should not appear at all! We Chinese people should not carry this stupid rat-tail braid." Boss Jia snorted coldly.
"Fuck, do you understand Chinese people? Chinese people will always carry this stupid braid and live for the rest of their lives. Although I think this braid is stupid, there is no way. Who made me play a Chinese person?" The man touched the back of his head, and said with great professionalism.
"Yes, my grandfather told me that in that era, the Chinese had such a stupid braid behind them. This is the sad history of the Chinese. There was no error in the props!" Another American actor stood up and said in fluent English.
Soon, other actors also stood up and started to speak out. They all accused Boss Jia of such undedicated and abandoned props. Finally, they immediately said in unison that Boss Jia was not worthy of being an actor at all. They asked Boss Jia to get out of the crew, and he was not qualified to be an actor.
When these American actors accused Boss Jia, they were magnificent and occupied the commanding heights of morality. They were condescending and arrogant, and they had a kind of sacred glory to fight against unqualified actors.
"Have your elders really taught you history?" Boss Jia snorted coldly after being criticized by these people, and then said, "Does anyone know about the Xinhai Revolution?"
"Xinhai Revolution?" The other seven people were stunned for a moment, as if they had never heard of this word.
"No wonder!" Boss Jia said coldly, "The Xinhai Revolution was a revolution that took place in China in 1911. After the Xinhai Revolution, the rule of the Qing Dynasty ended, and all the Chinese people cut off the stupid braid behind their heads."
"So after 1911, there was no stupid braid behind the Chinese people's heads, and the sinking of the Titanic occurred in 1912, so the Chinese people of this era did not have this stupid braid behind the heads!"
"..." These seven actors obviously have not learned history, and at least they have not learned the history of China, so they were confused by Boss Jia's words and didn't know how to defend themselves.
"I have a question that's very curious!" Looking at the seven guys in front of me, Boss Jia suddenly asked curiously, "Are you seven people really all Americans from Chinese origin?"
"I am not a stupid Chinese, I am a Fusang native!" A man said immediately, as if the identity of Fusang native was so noble.
"I am also a Fusang native!"
"So too!" As a result, among the seven people, three of them were Americans of Fusang.
"I am not your stupid Chinese, I am a descendant of Dahan!"
"Yes, I'm also a descendant of Korea!" The other two people with eyes that had become a small gap also expressed their opinions.
"I'm Thai!" Yes, the sixth person is not Chinese, Boss Jia can only focus on the seventh person in the end. This guy just said that his grandfather told him that the money rat-tailed guy was the guy who was in trouble. This guy is also completely Chinese between his eyebrows. This guy should be a real Chinese!
Just when Boss Jia was guessing this in his heart, the seventh guy said with a disgusting look on his face, "I'm not a Chinese, I'm from Wanwan!"
