Chapter 0266 Courtesy Chicken Drumsticks
The crew took most of the morning to shoot the shot, which lasted less than ten minutes.
The subsequent movements will become more and more difficult, mainly all kinds of falls. If the movements are not suitable, Han Lan will also propose modifications. It takes a lot of time to add up to seven or eight.
This is also Kennard's first time taking on a Chinese Kung Fu film. Many of the martial arts moves are actually quite different from those in Lighthouse Country action films, especially those modified by Han Lan.
After all, there is no Mizong Fist in the Lighthouse Country.
But he is a professional after all, and Kennard understood it after a simple rehearsal.
Basically there will be no more than three errors.
During lunch, Kennard also ate a boxed lunch with the crew. Originally, his manager asked him to open a small stove, but after hearing that his boss also ate boxed lunch, he lost confidence.
Kennard was okay, and he had a great time cooperating with Han Lan this morning, so he got six box lunches and sat at the small table with Han Lan to eat.
The small portable table made by the crew is really short, even for Han Lan, let alone Kennard. He also couldn’t use chopsticks, so the crew specially found a spoon for him.
And fork.
But the lunch box tastes really good.
Lee Myung-bak also pushed his limits today and received an extra lunch box, and sat down at the table with the same six lunch boxes.
So, Han Lan, Kennard, and Li Mingbo sat on one side of the table, with lunch boxes piled high in front of them. On the other side, Han Lan's assistant Fang Qiaorui sat shivering with a lunch box.
When I looked up, I felt like there were walls on three sides!
"Kennard, is this your first time in China?" Han Lan took the initiative to chat with him.
"Yeah." Kennard nodded while picking up his rice.
"The afternoon scene should be filmed in an hour. You can go shopping in the city." Han Lan suggested enthusiastically.
Maybe it's because he used to work abroad to make money. He doesn't feel disgusted with these foreigners. Of course, he won't deliberately try to please them like some Chinese people do.
In his eyes, these foreigners are either potential financial backers or potential golden pigs.
They are all for slaughter.
Kennard didn't know what Han Lan was thinking, but he thought his smile was very friendly, so he smiled and nodded: "Han, you Chinese people are really warm and hospitable! I hope we can have a chance to cooperate next time!"
"Of course." Han Lan grinned and said, "Kennard, can I eat your chicken legs?"
"???" Kennard.
"This is the first etiquette for our country to receive guests." Han Lan explained with a smile.
"Watt? Why is there such a strange etiquette?" Kennard was not stupid, and immediately showed a suspicious expression.
Fang Qiaorui, who was at the same table, understood and felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly buried his head in eating. Li Mingbo didn't understand, but when he saw Han Lan's classic harmless smile and Fang Qiaorui's reaction, he guessed it and hurriedly followed suit and buried his head in eating.
Not in the same group.
Han Lan's smile did not change, and she looked very friendly: "This is Kennard, actually there is an allusion to it."
"allusion?"
"Yes, this was long ago. There was a scholar in our country..."
"What is Xiucai?"
"That's what you Westerners call a gentleman."
Kennard's face suddenly revealed that he was actually very interested in Chinese culture, and he listened carefully to Han Lan's story about getting chicken drumsticks from guests.
Han Lan also continued with a smile: "This scholar is very talented and has very good moral character. He is very famous in the local area. Once, a talented scholar from afar came to visit him. He was very
Being hospitable, I killed the chicken at home and invited him to eat."
"Kennard, you may not know that in ancient times, a chicken was very precious to an ordinary family, especially the most delicious chicken legs."
"When the guest saw that Xiucai gave him two chicken legs, he was very moved, so he took one of the chicken legs in his bowl and gave it back to Xiucai. Xiucai saw that he could endure the temptation of chicken legs.
, I felt that he was a gentleman, so they became very good friends with him. Later, the two of them often studied together, learned from each other, and made progress together, and finally they were admitted to Jinshi together, which is a legend."
"What is a Jinshi?" Kennard asked again.
"Probably the current doctor. In short, after everyone knew about this, they all praised their good character and rushed to learn from each other. So, for the first time, we invited guests to dinner, and the guests had to ask for their own money.
It is a courtesy to give half of the chicken legs to the host.”
"Kennard, I'll treat you to dinner, and you give me half of your chicken legs. From now on, we will be good friends, do you understand?"
Kennard had obviously never heard of such an allusion, and he did not understand some of the logic in it. However, he had also heard that Chinese people were hospitable and liked to give things away.
The etiquette Han Lan mentioned seems to be in line with the Chinese character?
Well, I learned, I learned.
Kennard nodded, opened his vegetable box, and let Han Lan take away three chicken legs: "Han, we are good friends."
"Good friends, good friends. Hahaha..."
After the chicken legs friendship at noon, the tacit understanding between the two seemed to be better during the afternoon filming than in the morning.
The filming took less than an hour, and Kennard was successfully finished. Before leaving, he even added their contact information to Han Lan and invited him to visit the Lighthouse Country in the future.
Han Lan naturally agreed with a smile. They were already old friends anyway, so there was no need to give the chicken legs back.
…
…
After filming the martial arts scene with the Western strongman, the rest was mainly the scene with the jp samurai.
In fact, in history, Huo Daxia did not fight against Western strongmen. The so-called strongmen at that time were actually circus people who came to create gimmicks to defraud money. After learning that Huo Daxia accepted the challenge, he did not show up at all on the day of the fight and disappeared long ago.
Already.
On the contrary, after the JP Country Judo Association heard about this incident, they felt very unconvinced and sent someone to challenge Huo Daxia. Naturally, they were given a lesson.
In order to make the audience enjoy watching it, the movie was artistically adapted, so there was a scene of fighting a Western strongman in the ring, but the focus was still on the fight with the JP country warriors later.
In many domestic movies, the characters from the JP country are usually played by Chinese people, and they look about the same anyway. But this time, the crew specially hired a stuntman from the JP country who can do judo. The filming effect will be much better, look.
It won't be that fake.
It was also the first time for action director Lao Xu to design the martial arts action of Chinese Kung Fu versus JP Judo, so before filming, the two of them needed to cooperate and show some of the moves of both parties, so that he would have material to modify.
So during this period, the crew could only reshoot other scenes.
Chapter completed!
