showbiz male god

In view of Chen Mo's habit of providing super-long-term "pre-job training" before going on camera, all the actors of the "Hundred Years Family" crew, including several Hollywood guest stars, were summoned by him to Huajing for a ten-year training session. One month of etiquette lines and other aspects of training.

During this period, there were teachers from the Faculty of Arts, ministers from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and instructors sent by families of salt merchants, Huizhou merchants, and Shanxi merchants to tell the actors about the historical and national conditions of the year, and analyze a certain plot of the script. What was the situation like, why the script was changed in such a way, and even the tone and movements of the people at that time were restored bit by bit.

There are also some etiquette and body teachers who have to shape the actors according to the needs of the plot. For example, actresses. Up to Daming a hundred years ago, there was nothing to see.So most actresses have to gain weight.What kind of body type should a businessman play, what kind of temperament should a soldier play, and what kind of behavior should a literati have... The most cruel point is that some actors who play historical officials are required by the Minister of Rites. They had to recite the resumes of these famous ministers, and the stereotyped parallel prose one after another made everyone dizzy.Even Steven King and other Hollywood actors, although they don't need to write brush characters anymore, they still have to learn how to write cursive English with a quill pen...

Anyway, after a lot of tossing, except for the well-educated old actors in the circle, most of the young actors have been tossed a lot!

All actors felt tremendous pressure immediately during the training process.And these pressures come not only from the vast amount of training content, but also from the people who train them——

To be able to be seen by Chen Mo, the teachers sent by the imperial court to be training guides are either brilliant scholars of Confucianism, or ministers who are qualified to stand in the court at the sixth rank or above, or the old shopkeepers in charge of the family group, or even There are also nuns in the palace who are responsible for teaching the etiquette of female relatives.

Occasionally, Chen Mo would invite those old men and women who are at home to come over and give palms, so that these actors can experience how real nobles of aristocratic families behave at close range.It is easier to have a specific imitation goal than to imagine it out of thin air.

But such a person of status has never been in contact with the entertainment industry. This time he condescends to give everyone training guidance. Although most people's attitudes are calm and upright, after getting along with each other, many artists are still trembling.I was afraid that I would offend people by saying one more word and doing one more thing, so everyone was very obedient.

Several Hollywood superstars who originally complained about Chen Mo's rigid rules couldn't help but gasp in admiration.Chris King smiled and said to Chen Mo while sitting at the desk copying cursive characters: "Only you can do this kind of thing. If it were another person, even if he was Director Wilson, I wouldn't be doing such a thing when I started the film." Joined the training a long time ago."

"Thank you for your efforts for the Ming Dynasty's 660th National Day." Chen Mo gave a gentleman's salute solemnly.

Steven laughed loudly, and said again: "Speaking of which, I didn't suffer a loss this time. I thought it was to kill time and get acquainted with Chinese culture by the way. But I didn't expect to get to know so many Da Ming officials during the training. I should be the same now. You Huaxia fans have a good impression of passers-by, right?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "How can it be a good relationship? You are our male god!"

After a pause, Chen Mo joked again: "However, in the eyes of many officials of the Ming Dynasty, you should be regarded as a good impression route!"

As the only foreign guest actor of Hollywood A-list level in "A Hundred Years Family", Steven King could actually reject so many endorsements and stay in the crew. Even Chen Mo didn't expect such a choice.Those officials should be the same, right?

As the saying goes, "People respect me as much as I respect others." Everyone can see what Steven has done for "A Century of Family". I believe that if he wants to expand the Chinese market in the future, it must be easier than others .

Of course Steven also understood this truth, he raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, and said with a smile: "This is probably the biggest gain I got from participating in "A Century of Family."

Isn't it!

Speaking of this, Steven didn't know what to think of, shrugged his shoulders, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Angelina didn't insist on her choice. To be honest, I don't think the effect of participating in that reality show will be It's better than participating in "A Hundred Years Family."

When the news spread that Chen Mo was going to shoot "A Family of Hundred Years", most of the actors of "The Seventh Treasure" who had worked together called to ask about the cameo appearance.As a result, after hearing Chen Mo's strict request, only Chris King and two other Hollywood second-tier actors who were not very active on the big screen were the ones who received the announcement.Everyone else made various excuses and left.

Among them, Angelina agreed first, but suddenly regretted it before the audition ended and the training began.As a result, Chen Mo had to extend the audition time and find another suitable actor.Angelina, who rejected Chen Mo, did not regret Hollywood, but participated in another reality show produced by Banana TV.

Steven was noncommittal about Angelina's choice, and he didn't know what Angelina missed until after the training really started and saw so many hidden trainers.

Chen Mo smiled, and said casually: "Everyone has their own ambitions. The production cycle of "A Hundred Years of Family" is a bit longer, and it is normal that most people can't bear it."

Like Chris King, who is picky about accepting dramas, often does not accept a drama for three to five years and does not accept any announcements. Apart from filming, there are really few A-list superstars who are hidden away.

When Chen Mo was in Hollywood, he once heard a gossip that Chris King only came out to film when he was short of money, and he didn't know if it was true.

The two laughed and chatted for a while, and Steven noticed the two white jade boxes in Chen Mo's hand, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What are those?"

"It's rose salt and rouge." Chen Mo shook the things in his hands, and said with a smile, "I asked someone to make props for me."

"Let me take a look." Steven held out his hand curiously.

Chen Mo had no choice but to hand over two white jade boxes to Steven.

Steven held it in his hand and played with it. Of course, the white jade box was not natural suet jade, but artificial "white jade". Exquisite.

Steven opened the lid of one of the boxes, only to feel a scent of fragrance rushing towards his face.Inside the box was a bright red grease, thick and lubricated, more delicate than the cosmetics used by many Hollywood actresses Steven had seen.

"They are so beautiful." Steven praised sincerely.

"There is an old saying in China, which says that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. As the producer of "A Century of Family", I have to work hard on costumes and props to be worthy of your training, right? "Chen Mo said very proudly.

As we all know, in order to make a good work, the skills of the actors are one aspect, and details such as costumes and props are also indispensable.In order to show the unique style of that era, Chen Mo specially invited several adults from the four most famous embroidery shops in the Ming Dynasty and the Ministry of Industry to sit together with the teachers of the props group to discuss the issue of costume props.They dug up the tomes such as "The History of Ming Dynasty Clothing" and "The History of Ming Dynasty Architecture" archived by the Ministry of Rites, and based on the records in them, they restored and beautified the clothes, jewelry and furniture that belonged to that era.

Because of the reform of the imperial court and the invasion of Western culture, the styles of clothing, jewelry, daily necessities and household items were particularly chaotic at that time. The fusion of East and West was particularly obvious, and various popular elements became obsolete very quickly.Often in a few years, another style will be transformed and derived.

These trivial and delicate knowledge can only be accurately known by the time-honored brands that have been passed down for hundreds of years among the people and the relevant yamen of the imperial court.And because the service objects are different, the elements that everyone is familiar with are still different.

Chen Mo asked the crew to customize props, costumes and jewelry according to the records of the Ministry of Rites. Some materials—especially fabrics, have disappeared in the long river of history for various reasons.Chen Mo had no choice but to ask the masters of the four major embroideries to help restore this fabric, or replace it with similar materials, and then tailor the props and costumes according to the size of the actors. It took a long time to conduct large-scale and serious research.

But some props must be taken out during the training period for the actors to practice more.Just like when "Food Color" was filmed, all the actors wore props and lived on the set for three or four years, and only then did they discover the essence of the ancients' words and deeds.Just like stewed soup with a simmer, the heat is slightly off, and tasted in the mouths of the old gourmets, the taste is not right.

Now that the time is short, Chen Mo doesn't have the cheek to borrow authentic antiques from various families to play with - after all, the casts of the two crews are different, and Chen Mo can't guarantee that the actors of "The Family" won't be damaged or lost Something or something, there is too embarrassing about the issue of compensation.He could only send the props team to Liulichang to dump some things for the actors to use first.

When all the costumes and props are in place, the whole crew is almost ready, and it can be officially started!

"Will there be food like "Food Color"?" Steven asked expectantly with bright eyes.

This is probably one of the reasons why he resolutely joined the group without hesitating to waste time.

"That's natural." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Costume props, daily necessities, fine wines and delicacies, after the crew starts up, the masters of Taotielou will also follow the crew. All the food and drink during filming will be provided by them."

Steven couldn't help cheering: "I can't wait."
