I just want to copy books quietly

And when the Hugo Awards are presented in August, he should be able to relax a little bit.

This year's Hugo Awards will be held in the small town of Juliet's former residence. Wouldn't it be nice to take Xiao Xu to travel and win the award by the way?

So in the last few days, Du Caige mustered his energy, and the "tyrant on the set" changed his style for a while and became passionate.

Driven by his passion, the efficiency of the entire crew has become higher.

Several main actors have also maintained excellent condition, with very few NG times.

Being repeatedly praised by Du Caige, the mentality of the actors became more confident and entered a virtuous circle.

When Du Caige made the filming plan before, he made preparations, and put all the scenes of Huo Linger's mentality change and becoming more confident at the end.

Sure enough, Xu Qingya can get into the play without too much guidance now.

By January 1, most of the shots were done.

In the next few days, there will be a few more shots, and then there will be a few cameo scenes in which Du Caige will play the role of the fake martial arts master, the head of the Hunyuan Taiji Sect, and the Internet celebrity old bacon Niu Baoguo.

It is quite difficult to play a 65-year-old comrade, even with a makeup artist and Du Caige's acting skills are not bad.

When Brad Pitt played the elderly Benjamin Button in the classic movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", for a realistic effect, the method used was to use 3D scanning technology to reproduce the 3D digital model of Brad Pitt's head .Then, let Pete make a lot of expressions, and make models of each expression separately, and also make [-]D digital models of Barton's head in various age groups.

Finally, the key points of the 3D digital model of Brad Pitt's head and the 3D digital model of Benjamin Button's head were matched.

Du Caige also considered adopting this method.

But for the image of a supporting role, is it worth it to spend so much trouble?

So he still made two-handed preparations.

The first is to use makeup to act once.

At the same time, during the post-production, if you have time, you can use the method in "Benjamin Button" to redo Niu Baoguo's head picture.

If you run out of time by then, just make do with it.

Before shooting each scene, the makeup artist had to fiddle with his face for more than 3 hours to achieve the effect of the elderly.

Fortunately, this time is severe winter, not hot, not too much sweat.

Otherwise, it is too cumbersome to touch up makeup every once in a while.

Even so, these scenes were not easy to shoot.

All filming is over, it is already January 1.

The whole crew returned to Shanghai, and more than 400 people booked a hotel on the first floor to eat and drink. Of course, Du Caige will not be stingy at the finale banquet.

This meal alone cost more than 14 yuan for dishes, and nearly 8 yuan for drinks.

But it is by no means wasted.

What Du Caige said before the meal was: "Thank you for your dedication, which allowed us to complete the shooting earlier than planned. This saved so much time, which also saved a lot of money, and at the same time allowed more time for post-production. So eat and drink to your heart's content today, this is actually not my treat, the money for today's meal is saved by yourself!"

These words are much more friendly than those directors who treat them to a meal and feel that they are being kind.

Du Caige toasted one by one. Of course, he didn't have the capacity to drink, so he poured some Sprite to pretend. It was impossible for everyone to ask him to drink hundreds of glasses of wine, or he would drink to death.

When the atmosphere was at its highest, the staff of the production team began to distribute red envelopes, and all the crew members had them, not one left, all of them were big thick red envelopes.

A little impatient, he opened the red envelope on the spot, and immediately shouted, "Long live Director Du!"

Without it, this red envelope is really grand.

Ordinary staff start from 3000, which is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary college student when he first got a job.

Some important positions, or particularly hard positions, can get 50006000.

Someone did a little calculation, even if the average red envelope is 4000 per person, 400 people, that would cost 160 million in cash.

Doing things with Director Du is refreshing!

If the movie can still sell well and make them famous and rich, so much the better!

This wrap-up banquet was not open to the public, but a few reporters who had a good relationship with Chasing Dream Huyu were invited.

There was no need for hype, and there was no need to spend money on trending searches. The next day, "Hemingway's new film was completed, and millions of cash were distributed on the spot" was on the trending searches.

And Du Caige has quietly boarded the plane to Los Angeles.

"Papa, I feel so strange in my ears! I think I'm going deaf!"

Caiwei, who was sitting next to Du Caige, writhed uneasily.

"Caiwei, isn't it your first time to fly? This happens every time you fly. This is because of the change in air pressure. The air pressure outside drops rapidly, and there is a pressure difference between the air pressure outside and the air pressure in our middle ear. , This will make the tympanic membranes of our ears swell outwards, causing pain. Don’t worry, it’s okay, your ears won’t be deaf!” Du Caige has seen related content before, and at this time, he can use the memory of the camera to extract it in his daughter’s eyes. Pretending to beep in front of him.

"What is air pressure?"

"Air is everywhere around us, and this air actually exerts pressure on objects, which is air pressure." Du Caige said in a language that children can understand.

"Papa, how can I make my ears not hurt?"

"If you swallow more saliva, stimulate the Eustachian tube to open, and keep the air pressure in the middle ear and the outside balanced, the pain will disappear."

Caiwei swallowed continuously, and her ears didn't hurt so much.

She said in admiration: "Papa, you are amazing! My papa is a superman! He knows everything!"

Du Caige was immediately in high spirits.

Being adored by his daughter makes him happier than winning a Grammy.

"Hehe." Yan Yingzhen sneered twice beside her.

But when Caiwei turned her head to look at her, she immediately showed a gentle smile: "Yes, Caiwei, your father is very good. From now on, you will go to your father every day after school, let him check your homework, and then let him explain to you The story teaches you a lot of knowledge, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" If it wasn't for the seat belt, Caiwei would have jumped up.

Du Caige was speechless.

So don't provoke Mr. Yan.

This woman has turned vegetation into a sword, and can turn decay into magic with every stroke and stab.Great, I am Mr. Yan.

This time Du Caige went to Los Angeles, one is to win an award, and the other is to accompany Duan Xiaochen. After all, a woman in love needs nourishment and watering.

But after Yan Yingzhen found out, she insisted on taking Caiwei with him.

The superficial reason is of course not "I won't let you and Duan Hu live together", but "How many times have you and Caiwei met this year? It just so happened that Caiwei was on vacation. Given her age, I also thought about it." It's time for her to come out and see the outside world, so let's travel together this time. By the way, let the child witness her father's highlight moment when he won an important award."

Such a powerful reason cannot be refuted at all.

Chapter 607 Intense curiosity

Exit at Los Angeles Airport.

A blond girl wearing a baseball cap with the brim of the hat pressed down very low, covering her eyes and half of her face, was sitting on a long row of seats. Her slouchy sitting posture and a large red sweater could hardly conceal her youthful and graceful figure.

She opened her hands to both sides and put them on the back of the chair next to her. She took off her left shoe and put it on the seat next to her. She occupied three seats by herself, and her posture was very indecent.

However, her upper body is slightly leaning forward, and under the loose sweater, she is actually only wearing close-fitting underwear. The smooth and white skin can be seen at a glance. People passing by can see the two hemispheres as long as they look down a little. .

And her legs that are perfectly outlined by tight bodybuilding pants, and the camel toe shape outlined in the middle, can almost make men swallow subconsciously.

Even if they couldn't see her face, but could only see a pointed chin and two plump red lips, most people would subconsciously feel that this must be a sexy girl.

The blond girl chews gum and looks at an Asian woman.

The Asian woman was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a slim-fit brown trench coat, walking back and forth with her head down.

The blond girl finally spoke: "Duan, can you sit down for a while? You're walking around, making me dizzy."

"Sorry!" Duan Xiaochen stopped beside the blonde girl.

"Claire, it's not good for you to sit like this? If you are photographed and posted on the Internet, your image will be completely ruined!" Duan Xiaochen was born in a humble family. mocked.

Therefore, after she became famous, she paid special attention to these.

In public, she will be meticulous and pay attention to her image.

"Duan, you are too tired to live like this. We don't attract fans by our appearance, we are singers!" Even so, the blonde girl Claire put her feet down, and Duan Xiaochen sat down next to her.

"It's really curious, what kind of charm your boyfriend has that makes you so restless about him." Claire chewed gum, marveling.

Just stop thinking about my man... There are already too many flirtatious and top-notch people thinking about my man.

Duan Xiaochen smiled slightly: "Claire, he is just an ordinary person, if you have too high expectations, you will definitely be disappointed."

Claire blew a bubble and shook her head, her blond hair was dazzled by the baseball cap, her eyeballs rolled around, and she said with a smile: "Duan, I have seen your boyfriend's amazing works .You say he's a normal guy? Jesus, I doubt he can even fart a symphony."

Duan Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Claire is a talented singer who has risen in the Stars and Stripes music scene in recent years. She not only has a sweet voice, but also has a strong creative ability. Most of the songs she sings are written by herself.

Duan Xiaochen has also been learning to compose songs by herself in recent years. In her opinion, Claire's creative level is already top-notch, and the talent reflected in the notes and lyrics has already overflowed.

Duan Xiaochen also knows many songwriters in Dahuaguo, and has a rating system in mind.

For example, Yu Yu's current creative level can reach b+, and that Shao Yongshi is almost a-.

Yu Fei is a+.

Du Caige?Unable to rate, beyond the system.

If Claire is included in this rating system, Claire's creative level should be able to reach A+, or even S grade.

On par with Yu Fei, or slightly stronger.

Because Claire's musical talent is so outstanding, even though she has not yet been crowned queen, many media in the Stars and Stripes believe that the 22-year-old Claire will be the first female singer born in 85 to win the title of queen.

Um, the crown of queen, naturally refers to the "Best Female Singer" at the Grammy Awards.

Pop, rock, country, r≈ap;b, rap... get any one, and Claire can be crowned queen.

Why these five categories?Because of these five types of music, Claire has dabbled in all of them, and she has done well in all of them.

As Duan Xiaochen said, she is a genius.

Duan Xiaochen kept looking up at the aircraft takeoff and landing information on the electronic screen.

Finally, she looked happy, Du Caige's flight had successfully landed, and soon she would be able to see the person she misses day and night.

But when he thought about that woman Yan Yingzhen also came here this time, Duan Xiaochen felt a little aggrieved.

Yes, not anger, not hatred, but aggrieved.

Because Yan Yingzhen... didn't even scold her, didn't even look at her in the eye, just resorted to tricks, causing her to lose the company she created, and she was dispatched thousands of miles away, but she had no way of resisting. force.

So frustrating!

Yes, you are rich.But can you do whatever you want with money?

irritating.

Claire saw that her delicate and unparalleled face showed a smile for a while, seemed to gnash her teeth for a while, and blushed for a while, as if she was shy.

Claire blinked, this sister is so strange...

In other words, in fact, Duan and she should be the biggest competitors this year.

Claire's best song of the past year, most likely to win an award, is in the pop category.

And the best songs are also popular.

Both are strong contenders for the important category of Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Clare also didn't know why he and Duan became friends.

Even the relationship is so good that he accompanied Duan in disguise, without bodyguards and nanny, and came to the airport to meet Duan's boyfriend.

Of course, she said "because we are friends", but in fact, Claire's strong curiosity about Duan's boyfriend was the biggest reason that prompted her to accompany Duan to come here.

Duan's boyfriend, Hemingway, was unquestionably talented in music.

In the album he produced for Duan, those classic songs may still be sung ten or twenty years later.

As for the "A Song of Ice and Fire" written by Hemingway, Claire couldn't put it down, and had read it twice.

She thinks this is the greatest fantasy of this century, bar none.

Every time she reads, she will feel that the emotions accumulated in her heart seem to be forming music, lingering in her heart.

It's just that those inspirations were just flying in the virtual world in her heart, and she didn't catch the thread and pull them into the present world.

The little devil who uses humor to cover up his sorrow, the sweet-hearted little finger, who is always unpredictable, the serious and upright, admirable milk virtue, the generous, lustful, down-to-earth King Robert, the annoying James, Disgusting Cersei... Claire would love to write a song for each of them.
