The next day, Cheng Yuan took his assistant and the rest of the company on a flight from New York to New Orleans.

The movie currently being filmed is called "Green Book" and is adapted from a true story. It tells the story of a white driver Tony driving for a black pianist Don. What the two saw and heard during the journey led to their friendship.

At first glance, does this sound very American politically correct? Very American?

But when Cheng Yu'an wrote the script, he included a lot of personal information: First of all, in reality, Tang and Tony had no so-called "friendship" at all, and the two did not form a lifelong friendship because of this journey. They were just innocent

There was a master-servant employment relationship, and Tony didn't work for Don for long before he was fired by Don.

Secondly, the real Don was not as described in the movie, who stayed away from the black community, fell out with his family, and was still gay. In fact, Don had actively participated in the black movement, was a good friend of Martin Luther King, and had a close relationship with his family.

He was also very harmonious, and he even raised two nephews who lost their mother.

Many places in the script were viciously designed by Cheng Yu'an.

Yes, it is vicious.

Even Cheng Yuan himself uses this word to describe his script.

Therefore, "Green Book" can basically be summarized as "a movie that will definitely not be liked by black people, and may even be opposed by black people. It satisfies the needs of white left-wingers in the United States, but disgusts the entire American ethnic policy and social status quo."

black movies.

It is covered in a layer of political correctness, but the story it tells is so politically incorrect.

Is Cheng Yuan afraid of being opposed by American society?

Afraid of a hammer!

The president has criticized himself by name, but he still doesn’t want to fight back?

Cheng Yu'an and his team landed in New Orleans and transferred to the crew's location.

Most of the actors in the movie have not been changed, except that the male lead Tony was replaced by Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen.

"Liu Yifei's new drama "John Wick 3" is being intensely filmed in New York. Recently, a reporter photographed director Cheng Yu'an and his daughter arriving on the set to visit his wife. During this period, he met American movie star Anne Hathaway. It can be seen from the photos taken on the scene.

, the three people talked happily, and seemed not to be affected by the previous remarks of the US President. The next day, Cheng Yuan led a team to fly to New Orleans to visit another crew. According to the response from the relevant person in charge of Remote Media, Cheng Yuan's trip to the United States,

In addition to the visiting class, the main purpose is to learn new film techniques and carry out some external exchanges. Regarding the criticism of the US President, Distance Media said that Cheng Yuan did not take it to heart."

Cheng Yu'an received a warm welcome from the crew. Everyone hopes to make friends with a world-renowned director, let alone the boss of a film company.

Director Peter Farrelly has always made low-brow comedies before, which are small in scope and high in tension and excitement, but he has also made some achievements.

The reason why Cheng Yu'an handed over such an important film to Peter Farrelly was because of his comedy talent. He needed Peter Farrelly to wrap this serious film with a warm coat of comedy.

When Peter Farrelly saw Cheng Yu'an, he exclaimed: "Cheng, I didn't expect you to write such an authentic American story."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "I lived in the United States for a long time when I was a child, and I have a fairly good understanding of American history."

Cheng Yu'an expressed his respect and love for Mads Mikkelsen: "I have wanted to cooperate with you for a long time. To be honest, I wanted to make love when I was filming "The Hunt". You must not say this."

Tell Matthew McConaughey or he won't be happy."

Mads Mikkelsen thought he was joking and accepted his flattery: "The script of "Green Book" is good, it's not too late for us to cooperate."

After greeting the main creators, Cheng Yuan looked at the turquoise Cadillac De Ville in front of him and praised: "Nice car! When I wrote the script, I never thought you could find such a beautiful car."

In the script, Cheng Yuan did not specify the model of the car. The crew found this Cadillac themselves.

And they found the classic 1962 De Ville. What I want to say is that the turquoise color is not the original factory color, but was specially changed by the crew to echo the movie.

"Cheng, Cadillac can be the representative of American car culture. We all like Cadillac." The director emphasized the reason why he chose Cadillac.

Cheng Yu'an deliberately made a point: "Isn't it Ford and Chevrolet?"

"E on, Cheng!" Both the director and the producer disagreed with Cheng Yu'an's statement, "Ford and Chevrolet only know how to please young people. They have only sold well in the past two years. Those who really know about cars will choose Cadillac. Cheng,

What car do you like?" Cars are an important topic in American daily chat.

"I don't know much about cars," Cheng Yu'an said. "My wife has always taken care of my car. I often drive a Mercedes-Benz now."

Americans didn't seem to be very interested in BBA. Seeing that Cheng Yu'an really didn't know much about cars, he even more excitedly recommended American cars to him.

In the end, Cheng Yu'an said helplessly: "But our company has signed a long-term contract with Mercedes-Benz, and our official car can only be Mercedes-Benz."

"Okay, Cheng, after the show, you must go to the club to experience American cars. They are definitely different from your Mercedes-Benz."

"Oh, by the way." Cheng Yu'an couldn't remember anything other than cars, "The company plans to shoot a racing movie this year about the Le Mans endurance race."

"Oh——" They all seemed to like racing movies, "Cheng, is it a movie like "Fast and Furious"?"

"I'm afraid not." Cheng Yu'an shrugged, "This movie is adapted from the documentary "Hell's Driving: Ford, Ferrari and the Le Mans Endurance Race."

"I hate Ford," said Peter Farrelly.

Everyone chatted for a long time, and Cheng Yuan motioned for them to continue filming.

Cheng Yuan spent two days with the crew of "Green Book" and learned about the filming situation in detail. He felt that there was no problem and left New Orleans and returned to New York.

In the next few days, Cheng Yuan became busy.

As mentioned before, Cheng Yuan came to the United States with a study and exchange mission.

He first led the team to the California headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic and talked about matters related to talent training and patent sharing.

Then he returned to New York and held a film master class at the New York University School of the Arts—Li An’s alma mater.

At the event, Cheng Yu'an actively communicated with teachers and students of New York University, and basically answered all questions. He encouraged young people to join the film industry, but at the same time he earnestly advised the students present: "First fill your stomach."

Of course, he also warmly introduced his alma mater and welcomed teachers and students from the New York University School of the Arts to come and exchange ideas.
