Chapter eight hundred and ninety-ninth unsinkable ship
"These clothes are really beautiful!" Tao Yaoyao was wearing props and costumes and looked at her appearance in the mirror.
"It's really beautiful. It looks great on you." The makeup artist praised while putting on makeup.
Both of them praised it from the bottom of their hearts. The exquisite clothes worn by European aristocrats in the 20th century were rare and unique in Tao Yaoyao's body.
Chen Mubai can make a real ship in order to make a good movie, and he will naturally do his best in costumes. Compared with the money of the ship, these are "little money"!
Every detail, including props and costumes, is carefully considered to recreate the luxurious life of the aristocratic class at that time.
This is a comparison. A piece of clothing for the nobles is extremely expensive, while the poor cannot afford to eat. The life of the nobles is too different from that of the poor. It metaphorically satirizes the chaos of the times, and at the same time allows everyone to see two different
class living environment.
Chen Mubai added a lot of his own ideas to such political metaphors, including the situation of the heroine's family. Chen Mubai made more detailed plans in order to highlight the atmosphere of the sick society at that time.
The Berlin Film Festival likes works with a strong political atmosphere, so Chen Mubai naturally wants to go with what he likes, so as to increase his chances of winning.
"Your look in this movie will definitely be unforgettable." The makeup artist said again.
"Hehe~" Tao Yaoyao giggled.
The people in Chen Mubai's crew are all familiar with her, so the conversation won't be so awkward.
"Is it almost done?" Tao Yaoyao looked at herself in the mirror and asked.
"Well, I just need some final processing on the hair here." The makeup artist nodded.
After the painting was completed, Tao Yaoyao went out to prepare for filming her scenes.
...
There was a tavern full of people, and everyone's clothes were very ordinary, even a little shabby.
Several people were sitting together, with cards and beer on the table.
"Get ready, it's time to start."
Chen Mubai was filming his scene, and Tao Yaoyao was still putting on makeup. Girls put on makeup much slower than boys, so they filmed his scene first.
"action!"
Several people immediately got into the mood, picked up the cards in their hands, and started acting.
"Jack, you must be crazy. If we lose, we will have nothing."
Chen Mubai's handsome face came into the mirror, and he showed an uninhibited smile and said: "If you don't have money, you won't have worries."
Judging from the dialogue and scenes, this is a gamble. The scene of this filming is that Jack wins the ticket and gets the opportunity to board the ship.
"Idiot, you actually gambled all our boat tickets." The other two people were also talking, obviously a little uneasy.
Next came the process of several people gambling. The camera scanned everyone's face. Everyone's expressions were very heavy. After all, they couldn't afford to lose and they valued this game very much.
The shots of the extras panned, mainly focusing on Chen Mubai. His face changed several times, showing different mental states and emotions.
Jack frowned slightly and looked at the man sitting opposite him. The man sitting opposite him was sweating profusely and was under great pressure.
On the table, there is a lot of money and a boat ticket.
"Okay." Chen Mubai suddenly said: "At a critical moment, someone's life is about to change."
"Brizio, no." Jack looked at his friend, and both of them smiled.
"No." Bridgio confirmed Jack's guess.
"Olav."
"Sven."
Jack called their names one by one, giving them different expressions at the same time.
"Oh, two pairs." Jack suddenly made an annoyed voice, and his expression lost the previous smile and calmness.
Jack looked at his friend and said solemnly: "I'm sorry, I put all the money in..."
"I'm sorry, all the money has been put in..." Bridgio began to become excited, and his voice became louder.
There was a smile on Jack's lips, and then he said seriously: "I'm afraid you have to be separated from your mother for a long time, because we are going to the United States!"
Having said this, Jack couldn't suppress his joy and kept the cards in his hand on the table.
"Three kings!"
Jack and Bridgio started cheering, both of them were in high spirits.
Correspondingly, the other two people looked downcast, with regretful expressions clearly visible on their faces.
"Click!"
"Very good, continue to the next item."
There is no difficulty in the play, just play it over and over again.
Chen Mubai's several expression changes were very good, allowing onlookers to clearly feel the changes in emotions.
Many people looked forward to Chen Mubai's performance because it was their first time to work with Chen Mubai and they felt very fresh and curious about everything about him.
However, the difficulty of this scene itself is not high, so there is no feeling that the acting skills will shock everyone.
In the minds of many actors, this is a normal thing. After all, Chen Mubai's acting skills are solid and he has won several Best Actor trophies.
"The next act will continue after this one, so get ready."
"Props team, put the blood bag in Shi Wen's mouth and bite it into pieces when he hits you."
"Put the chair back a little so that it doesn't hit the actor when he falls to the ground, and don't put it too far away as it will look fake..." the assistant director directed the audience.
Soon, all the scenes before Jack got on the boat were filmed.
Although these shots are not many, they reflect Jack's optimistic and cheerful character, as well as his love for freedom.
"Tao Yaoyao is out!"
"Wow, so beautiful!"
"So beautiful!?"
"Sure enough, if you are good-looking, you will look good in anything..."
The moment Tao Yaoyao came out, she really shocked the crew.
Whether they are Chinese or foreigners, their eyes flashed with surprise when they saw her appearance.
Tao Yaoyao is extremely beautiful, and she is very temperamental. She is a classical oriental woman, with a quiet and elegant temperament, which conforms to the Western definition of traditional oriental women.
She has an oval-shaped face, dark eyebrows, delicate facial features, extremely bright black pupils, and clear eyes. She wears the clothes of a European aristocrat, which makes her temperament even more noble.
There are really two different concepts of luxury clothes worn on traditional oriental beauties and those worn on blonde beauties. The kind of beauty is completely different.
"It's so beautiful. No wonder Chen doesn't like others." A foreign actor whispered.
"I feel that all Asians look similar, but after seeing Tao, I still think she is beautiful."
"She has a very gentle temperament. She wears such luxurious clothes and has a contradictory temperament, but she controls this style very well." Many people commented on Tao Yaoyao's appearance out of discussions about beauty.
Some people didn't think Tao Yaoyao was good-looking before, but this appearance also made them appreciate her beauty.
"How about it?"
Tao Yaoyao looked at Chen Mubai with a worried look in his eyes.
She didn't know whether her role matched the role Chen Mubai had in mind.
Seeing Tao Yaoyao's worried look, Chen Mubai chuckled, then pointed at the crew: "Look at their expressions, haven't they told you everything?"
Tao Yaoyao looked around, and everyone's eyes were on her, with appreciative smiles on their faces.
"I want to listen to you~" Tao Yaoyao blushed slightly and coquettishly in a low voice.
"Um......"
Chen Mubai looked at it seriously, then shook his head.
"What?" Tao Yaoyao looked at him with big eyes: "Isn't it the image you have in mind?"
"No." Chen Mubai sighed and said, "I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world now. I didn't expect you to look so good wearing props~"
When she heard Chen Mubai's denial, a look of disappointment flashed across Tao Yaoyao's face. She thought she had not achieved the role that Chen Mubai expected.
Later, when she heard Chen Mubai complimenting her, she immediately showed a very sweet smile.
"Don't belittle yourself. I think your current image has been engraved in everyone's minds. You are the most suitable heroine. Get ready to film." Chen Mubai saw through Tao Yaoyao's timid mentality.
Chen Mubai's words and the looks of the people around him gave Tao Yaoyao some confidence.
"action!"
Three luxury cars drove in hand in hand. The bodies and doors were all white, shining in the sunlight. The rest of the cars were decorated with gold, making them look very noble.
The driver's clothes were very neat and he wore a pair of gloves on his hands, which made him look very formal.
These all reflect the aristocratic etiquette and details. Even if you are just a servant, you must be decent and hypocritical in society.
Tao Yaoyao was dressed in exquisite clothes and a white and dignified hat. She stepped out of the car under the guidance of a servant, then looked at the environment here and looked at the luxury cruise ship.
"It's no big deal."
Tao Yaoyao's eyes when looking at the cruise ship did not fluctuate, as if it were commonplace. This was completely opposite to Chen Mubai's emotion in the scene where he was filming Jack. This reflects the cognitive differences between the two classes.
"Your daughter is really picky, Ruth." The man looked at the woman who walked out of the car behind him. She was Ruth's mother.
"People say it is an unsinkable ship." Lu Shi said about her knowledge of the Titanic.
These are the vision and information sources of the nobles. This is also a symbol of status. Knowing this information will make you more face-saving.
For nobles, the most precious thing is their face, even more important than their lives!
"It won't sink, and even God can't sink it!" Karl said firmly.
This is how everyone knows the Titanic, so the scene of the shipwreck later is actually a kind of caricature of a flashy cruise ship.
Surrounding the three cars were crowds of people passing by. Everyone was wearing shabby linen clothes and carrying a cloth bag as luggage. The scene in the camera and the sense of conflict were once again presented.
Everyone who got off the bus was all neatly and formally dressed, and their clothes were also very exquisite and luxurious.
The people around them are civilians, and everyone symbolizes two classes.
The people who worked for them were actually civilians, but because they were with them, they had to maintain this kind of etiquette, which shows the strict social class system at that time.
Many people go out of their way to do things for the nobles just to make themselves "superior". This is also a status symbol that attracts countless people. It also reveals this hypocritical and sick society.
Even the passages to get on the ship are different, and society has divided people into three, six or nine grades.
This is to express the difference between nobles and commoners, commoners and civilians. In the same picture, the contrast is very strong.
This scene was shot very quickly, and the entire scene under the boat only took two days. In fact, these scenes were more about the expression of the scene than the acting skills of the actors.
The series of stories that happened on the ship are the moments when actors need to show off their acting skills!
...
After Chen Mubai's movie started shooting, many media reporters visited the studio to interview the actors and also wanted to know relevant information about the movie.
Many people came to the filming set of "Titanic" and were extremely shocked.
They suddenly saw this huge and luxurious cruise ship without any precaution. They didn't know it but thought it was a real ship!
Later, they learned about the manufacturing background of this ship, and at the same time they admired Chen Mubai!
In order to make a movie, a ship was actually built at a cost of US$120 million, which is unheard of and unseen!
The reporter's interview was concentrated, so many actors were interviewed. They had already started filming. Everyone was full of praise for Chen Mubai during the interview.
Whether it was about the preparation of the movie, or Mo Dadi's courage, superb acting skills, and details, they all saw Chen Mubai's outstanding ability and were impressed by him.
Some female actors are so excited now that they can't close their legs when they see Chen Mubai. European and American stars are more open-minded, and they follow their inner emotions more.
For them, if they can really sleep with Chen Mubai, they will make money~
However, since Tao Yaoyao was at the scene, the secret flirting was not so public. Some people also tried to seduce Chen Mubai behind his back, but all failed.
This made these women take a higher look at Chen Mubai. People who are loyal to love will always be respected, especially in this circle. They have seen many couples who seem to be in love but secretly have constant affairs.
Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao refreshed their impressions of Chinese stars. It was basically the first time for people here to work with Chen Mubai, so they didn't know much about them.
When the reporters came back, they brought all the news with them, which shocked the Internet.
Netizens around the world were surprised. Looking at the photos in the news, the cruise ship was so huge and luxurious, it didn’t look like a prop at all!
In the past, Hollywood special effects were not like special effects. Now Chen Mubai has single-handedly won a new title:
Props don’t look like props!
Both of them are said to be realistic and fake, which is really amazing.
Filming begins.
The details of "Titanic" were revealed, and netizens were shocked. This was the first time they learned about this situation, and there was also a photo of the luxury ship.
"I have seen relevant information about "Titanic" before. It was said that Chen Mubai specially built a ship for the filming of this movie and spent more than 100 million US dollars. I didn't believe it. This time I believe it!"
"I'm convinced. Chen Mubai's behavior should also create history, right?"
"I think Chen Mubai is the most [willful] director, bar none!"
"A love movie cost 200 million U.S. dollars in investment, and a prop cost 120 million U.S. dollars. Movies don't dare to show it like this, but it actually exists in reality. It's so shocking..."
