acting substitution syndrome
Chapter 132 The First Land Chicken Feather Show
The point is, there are actually people calling Robli "Secretary Xiao Feng" inside, which is really fucking correct.
As soon as Robli looked up, a chubby red-haired middle-aged man waved excitedly: ""An official came to the village", I am a fan of this TV series!"
Robbie chatted with this fan named Mike immediately.
"Have you watched this TV show too?"
"Of course, because Netflix only shows two episodes a week... I even complained about it!"
"Haha, did Netflix accept your complaint?"
"They told me they might change the format next week!"
"Sounds great."
"I asked for leave to pick up the plane. I'm a community worker! I just have one question!"
"what is the problem?"
"That rascal named Uncle Mazi, do you regret it the most?"
"Wait a minute, I heard you right, you use the word rascal to describe Uncle Mazi?"
"Yes, he is a rogue, God, if I encounter such a rogue, I have no other choice but to call the police and let the police intervene! So I admire you, you have so many ways to deal with this rogue, Let him obey you obediently!"
Robry: "...Well, to be honest, if I knew I would meet a fan like you, I would definitely bring you a book. I think this book might be helpful to your work."
"What book? A divine book from the East?"
"Basically, this book is easy to understand. It's called "Community Work Handbook"...the community workers in the mysterious ancient oriental country all have a copy."
Mike blushed with excitement: "So this book can allow me to work as quickly and efficiently as Secretary Feng?"
Robry didn't blink his eyes when he said nonsense: "Of course."
……
In fact, Netflix really changed the broadcast mode.
By Saturday, all 33 episodes had been uploaded online and could be clicked all at once.
Netflix conference room.
The number on the screen once reached 223 after the update of "Village Official", that is to say, within an hour after the update, more than 223 million users clicked to watch "Village Official".
Of course, this result is nothing compared to other popular dramas, but Netflix’s broadcast mode is relatively new, that is to say, audiences prefer to watch it all at once. In fact, all audiences don’t like to wait, they all like it. Watch the next episode immediately after watching one episode.
Netflix executives are quite satisfied with this result. After 48 hours of statistics, 13 viewers watched all 33 episodes in one go.
Moreover, many people expressed their affirmation by leaving messages for this TV series that shows the customs of rural China.
Even spontaneously recommended.
"A very different TV series. I never expected to watch a Chinese TV series until two in the morning, but this show has the charm that you can't stop!"
"This drama is very amazing. It allows me to see the difference between the political systems of China and the United States. They have unexpectedly very strict rural grassroots organizations and huge bureaucratic systems...but what is very interesting is their grassroots power operation mode With layers of supervision, no one can play with power as he pleases."
"I'm going to give this show 33 stars, minus [-] star because it's too long, [-] episodes! Omg, there's still a long wait! But I have to admit, although the number of episodes is more than expected There are many, but the plot is very clear, highly compact, and there are always endless things happening in a small village!"
"Well, I admit that I came to watch a TV series from China because of the influence of "Swan Lakeside". After all, I like the leading role very much. What I want to say is that the leading role named Robry has a fascinating charm. , I can't connect the village cadre in the shirt and trousers with the charming prince on the stage, they are two people!"
"Actors have such magical powers. All the actors in the play have a breath of life, just like if you have never been to the American West, you can't imagine what people in the West do every day...I admit that I have been to China twice , but I still haven’t seen such a scene in life.”
"So is there a second season of this show?"
This question on Twitter has been liked by many people, but soon there is a regrettable truth underneath.
"There is no second season of this show, and the bad thing is that this show is a true story. As far as I know, the protagonist of this show has died."
"My God, this is really bad news!"
……
"Village Official" is quite high on Netflix's user click list and new TV series ratings list. Apart from the reason why Robrie's performance in the United States attracted attention, the main reason is that this TV series once attracted attention. There was a moderate riot in the United States.
At that time, in order to make a big show and promote the TV series, Robrie's fans bought an advertisement directly on the NASDAQ screen in New York Plaza.
Poverty Advertisement.
The result shocked the American public opinion circles.
There were even demonstrations in several areas.
So as soon as Netflix launched this TV series, it attracted many viewers to watch it spontaneously.
Of course, the TV series did not disappoint them either.
They are quite disappointed with the US government.
"God, when will the White House send America's 'Secretary Feng' to save our bad economy!"
"Inflation, inflation, can our experts only point out problems, not solve them?"
The recent inflation rate is simply outrageously high.
Even the White House spokesperson had to stand up to answer questions from the public.
"Please believe that the government is working out measures to solve the problem of inflation, and believe that there are more solutions than problems..."
That's right, there are more solutions than problems.
But why does this sentence sound weird?
Isn't this... a classic line from "Village Official"?
……
During the day, they fought with each other and attacked China.
In the evening, I secretly clicked on Netflix...it turned out to be you!
Gan.
……
After Robrie flew to the United States.
Mr. Gu completely lost his worries, and his secret battle with Guan Hongsheng had reached a climax on the bright side.
He even received a blatant call from Guan Hongsheng.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see."
"Compared to Mr. Gu's success in the film and television industry, I, Guan Hongsheng, a mouse in the ditch, was beaten by you and defeated. It's really miserable... Back then, you didn't have enough money to cut off people, and you had to cut off your life. , Mr. Gu, you are really good at what you do, so don’t blame me, Guan Hongsheng, for going out of your way today, I heard that Mr. Gu, you also intend to acquire Tianji?"
Guan Hongsheng's wild laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Unfortunately, Mr. Gu, your cash flow is not as good as mine, and your hands are not as fast as mine. I have already bought Tianji stock in the open market. Almost all the remaining outstanding shares are in my hands!"
Contempt appeared in Mr. Gu's sharp eyes.
"is it?"
Facing Guan Hongsheng's provocation, Mr. Gu remained calm and dismissive at all.
A stupid prey who thinks he is a good hunter.
As everyone knows, the skilled hunters have already laid down a net, waiting for the moment to close the net.
Guan Hongsheng believed that by purchasing Tianji's stock in the market, he could control Tianji.
Unexpectedly, Tianji launched the Inverted Poison Pill Project.
That is to say, if Guan Hongsheng and Zhang Dahai continue to increase their holdings of Tianji's shares in the market, causing their holdings to exceed 50.00%, shareholders other than Guan Hongsheng and Zhang Dahai can rely on their hands to establish Tianji as early as possible. A special right that he had when he was born - stock options, to buy the shares of Tianji's second round of expansion at half price.
That's right, I didn't expect that this half-dead Tianji Film and Television Entertainment Company, which seemed to be unable to reach a net profit of 1.3 million yuan a year, would actually be able to expand its shares in a second round.
This is the 'Inverted Poison Pill Plan' given by the team hired by Mr. Gu.
After the share expansion, the shareholding ratio will change.
For example, the shares held by Zhang Dahai and Guan Hongsheng will be reduced from 50% to 30% or even 20%.
Dilution of shares.
Aren't you rich, you continue to buy.
You buy, you continue to buy 50%, I will continue three rounds of share expansion.
Dilution over and over again, anyway, this is what the original shareholders of Tianji love to see most, anyway, they can buy the company's shares at half price, and the shares they hold are still growing.
……
"Mr. Gu, haha, let me tell you a piece of news. Zhang Dahai couldn't sit still. He ran up to me and patted the table, and asked me why I didn't keep my integrity and expanded my shares privately." Xiao Zhenting's relieved smile came from the other end of the phone. Voice: "I didn't talk politely to him, and asked the lawyer to talk to him directly. The lawyer you recommended to me is really good at talking, saying that Zhang Dahai is a hostile takeover, Tianji is self-protection, and Tianji is justified in the court Hahaha!"
Mr. Gu smiled: "Zhang Dahai and Guan Hongsheng won't let it go, I guess they still have something to do."
"What's behind?"
Mr. Gu said: "In addition to buying shares, they can also get rid of Tianji's directors and even executives to achieve the purpose of controlling Tianji."
Don't forget, after all, Zhang Dahai holds 40% of Tianji's stock.
Even Xiao Zhenting's own original shares have dropped to 38%, and now he is uniting with other shareholders to compete with Zhang Dahai.
Xiao Zhenting suddenly became anxious: "The shitty Zhang Dahai, I forgot about this, if he really does this, I really can't stand it, what should I do, Mr. Gu?"
……
"Xiao Zhenting is not a good bird. I said he couldn't sell Tianji to me quickly. He also wanted to play me. If it goes to the court, it will be nothing more than a commercial judgment of acquisition and anti-acquisition... ...You said, what should we do now?"
"What are you afraid of?" Guan Hongsheng snorted: "Don't forget that you still have 40% of the shares in your hand, you can completely... bloodbath Tianji!"
Bloodbath Tianji, remove all directors and executives including Xiao Zhenting, let's see what else he can do!
……
Commercial secret war is the most murderous.
The most thrilling.
However, Robry, who is far away in the western part of the United States, does not know that the domestic acquisition war is already in full swing. He is now immersed in the role. The role of Lin Yinan has also come to the United States after Wu Dong played by Chen Zhuo.
Lin Yinan has a strong hometown complex, but he doesn't want to cross the ocean if he has something to eat.
But fate is like this. Less than a year after Wu Dong left, Lin Yinan's sister and fiancee were infected with the epidemic and died one after another. In the forced sale case, he had to go bankrupt and pay a large sum of money, so he had to go begging on the street.
Unexpectedly, when he was begging, he was imprisoned in a shelter by kidnappers, and he was violently forced to sign an ocean labor contract. The contract stated that he would have to work for 18 years before he could be free.
Even his chest was stamped with the symbol of slavery.
In this way, he was led onto the boat like a dog, locked under the cabin like other cheated laborers, lost his dignity, lost his body, drifted on the boat for two and a half months, in the hot environment, in the terrible environment Under these conditions, he narrowly escaped death and finally came to the United States.
Then he was thrown to Nevada to repair the railroad.
To be honest, Robli was very depressed when he made this film, because the director had high requirements, and Robli, who was trying to lose weight and learn English, gritted his teeth and felt that it was all right.
It's the job of an actor, it's not a pain.
It is not uncommon for Robrie to experience more bitterness.
During the filming of "Village Official", Robbie fell into the sand field upside down, and his skin was dry and cracked under the sun.When I was filming "Assassins", I rolled in the cold mud, and the sound of explosions made my ears rumble.
Filming "Fly to Ptolemy" was even more painful, experiencing the feeling of being a sailor on a vibrating plane.
Therefore, the upper limit of Robry's suffering is high.
Compared with sexual torture, the most unbearable thing for Robrie is the mental torture.
In history, what happened to the real Chinese workers made him feel angry and suffocated.
He looked through the materials and saw that since the 50s, those millions of compatriots who have been deceived or trafficked out of the country have encountered everything in foreign countries——
The Chinese workers who were abused, beaten, detained, and tortured to death, like the Central Railway that traverses the east and west of the United States in front of them, were almost paved by the Chinese workers with their lives.
The harsh environment, avalanches, and cruel exploitation by the capitalists have caused the bones of Chinese workers to be found under every sleeper. They were forced to work in snowstorms with meager salaries, without any personal insurance, and no compensation for death , Even several protests were brutally suppressed, and the leader was hanged to intimidate other Chinese workers who tried to protest.
That real rage that Robry felt, that hatred of not being able to go back in time to save his people, mixed with the character's fate, made him burst out with great strength every day.
That kind of shocking thing, something that came from the bottom of my heart, even the staff watching clearly felt it, let alone Director Jiao who was sitting behind the monitor.
Jiao Guodong has secretly sighed in his heart more than ten times.
How lucky he is that Lin Yinan's character met Robbie.
……
The show is over.
Without saying a word, Robrie picked up the water bottle and returned to his room.
Director Jiao and Chen Zhuo looked at each other, "It's time to play."
Obviously, it is not simply entering the play, but deeply entering the play.
It's low pressure.
Jiao Guodong really hopes that the actors will join the play, which is a very good thing for the whole play. He hopes that the actors have emotions in their hearts, and the emotions can be expressed externally.
However, he also reminded: "Roles and actors still have to be separated. This is what you learned when you were studying acting."
……
When Chen Zhuo walked into Robli's lounge, he saw that Robli was lying on the single seat, his eyes were empty.
In this lounge, old black and white photos of Chinese workers are pasted everywhere.
You said that Robbie watches every day, can he not be depressed?
"stop looking."
Robbie was silent.
At this time, I heard yelling in the next room, and it seemed that several bottles of beer were opened.
The next room is an American ensemble cast. This movie is a co-production, and there are roles such as American supervisors and capitalists in it, and American actors must play them.
American actors are different from Chinese actors. The crews in China have a higher sense of responsibility. Often, one or two scenes are not well shot, and they wait until the filming is good, which delays the crew's time to get off work.
But the American actors were not happy. They were very concerned about the concept of time. If they said that they would finish at 07:30, they would definitely stop at 07:30. You had to pay me by the hour for the extra time.
And white people like to have fun. Once work is over, you can often hear them having parties in twos and threes, drinking and playing cards and the like.
It is estimated that the neighbor is also drunk.
A drunken voice came: "Neggers, trash, Indians, trash, yellow people, more trash!"
"You drank too much David, you drank six bottles!"
"I didn't! The yellow-skinned monkey..."
There was a 'bang', and before the American extras could react, Robrie kicked open the door and walked in.
"Hey, Luo," the leading American ensemble greeted him, "Let's have a drink together?"
Robrey took his glass and splashed it in his face.
"The yellow-skinned monkey just now," Robery said coldly, looking around at the people in the room, "Who said that?"
The others had already sobered up a bit, realized that something seemed wrong, and became confused.
"What yellow-skinned monkey, you must have misheard..."
A fat man of two hundred catties opened his drunken eyes and laughed loudly: "I said, what's the problem? You East Asians are like monkeys. This is a problem of race..."
He didn't finish his sentence at all, because he had already been knocked down by a punch.
"Human race?" Robery laughed back angrily: "Great, let me see your race, can you take a beating!"
Only when the bottle shattered and the ground was covered with shards, and the fat man was rolling and wailing on the shards, did the others fully react and rushed up to stop a bigger fight.
"Luo, listen to me, Luo, stop!"
……
There was a brawl on the set.
This thing is really tricky.
If this was a normal filming, this kind of fight would not require the director to come forward at all, and the production crew directly fired the two of them with the contract.
But now it's a fight between the lead actor and the extras, and it's a cross-border fight.
... Transnational, yes, really transnational.
The Chinese actor beat the American actor and was hospitalized.
The matter even alarmed the local media and spread throughout California.
Even people from the local actors' union came to the crew to inquire and investigate the matter. Of course, the dead fat man crying in the hospital was indeed a member of the local actors' union.
Robrie was politely taken for a transcript.
Jiao Guodong is in a hurry, how to solve this matter, will it affect the filming, will the actor Robry be taken away, if this news spreads to China, it will be fine!
Just when he was about to contact the country, and then contact the relevant departments in California from the country, Robry walked out easily, and the actors' union followed him and kept apologizing.
"Our union is deeply ashamed to have an actor like Rudy," the person in charge of the actor union said with shame on his face: "When we approved him to join the union, we didn't find that he was a complete racist. Words and positions have nothing to do with us, I can only say that such actors appearing in the union is a disgrace to everyone in the union."
While apologizing to Robrie, the person in charge promised Rudy to apologize, and at the same time hinted at Robrie's attitude towards the media, hoping that Robrie's major incidents would be reduced and that he would not promote the matter of 'racial discrimination'.
Robbie let out a laugh.
Put down a sentence coldly.
"Do you think the present China is the former China?"
Do you think it is still time for the Chinese to swallow their anger?
He insulted blacks, and blacks can directly sue him in court. For such politically correct things, he can even be sentenced to seven or eight years in prison.
Why do you hope that when it is the turn of the Asians, I will make a big deal smaller and not pursue it anymore?
To put it bluntly, it is still the same way of thinking. Compared with blacks and Hispanics, Asians can be bullied by anyone.
The person in charge blushed when asked.
"Look at the Central Railway, which traverses east and west. It is formed by the accumulation of bones of the Chinese people. We come here with a deep heart to commemorate our compatriots, and to pursue their stories and relics," Robery pointed to the railway in front of him. : "But I was insulted face to face... I can't forgive, I will never reconcile."
Robrey: "You should be glad that I didn't disable that man named Rudy, otherwise, according to the system of your actors' union, you would have to pay his medical expenses for the rest of your life."
The person in charge fled.
……
Jiao Guodong didn't expect things to develop in this way. The next day, the local police came in a police car, but they didn't come here to arrest Robrie, but to arrest that dead fat man named Rudy from the hospital and take him to the hospital. In front of Robbury, he was ordered to apologize to Robrie.
With six stitches in his scalp, Rudy, with a salt water bottle dangling from his arm, looked at Robrie tremblingly.
"I apologize……"
"I know I'm wrong, I said some harsh words, but I'm not racist at all! I drank too much, the doctor proved that alcohol damaged my brain, and I was forced to abstain from alcohol for six weeks by the community. They will Come to supervise at any time..."
Robrey: "Very well, your apology was very polite."
In the flickering lights at the scene, Robrie said, "But I refuse to accept the apology."
Rudy stared blankly.
He looked big, but he was full of fat, and he was not as strong as Robry, a man who had trained muscles for a long time, so he was beaten up by Robrie that day without any resistance.
Seeing Robrie now, the wounds are doubly painful.
"According to the laws of the United States, you apologize, but I have the right to accept or refuse, and now I refuse to accept the apology," Robery said: "Because you are not insulting me alone, but insulting all yellow-skinned Asians. They decide whether to accept your apology."
……
Director Jiao couldn't understand: "What do you want to do?"
This matter has been settled very well, under the banner of racism, all the local public opinion is in their favor, because they are 'zzzq'.
This incident made the actor union very sorry. They even promised that this time the actors would not receive the film crew's salary, but only need to pay the labor fee.
But Robrie appears to have other purposes.
I saw a sly and confident light flashing on Robery's face that was a little peeled due to the climate problem in the west.
"Look, director, this matter is a fuse, I want to use this rope to light a fire!"
……
On the 19th, the local evening news broadcast the incident and commented on it.
The local residents were alarmed. Rudy in the hospital was thrown stones and wine bottles in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to stay in the hospital and insisted on going back to his home.
When the Chinese in California heard the news, some called the film crew to ask if the matter had been resolved, and some drove hundreds of miles directly to the place where the film crew was stationed to express condolences in person.
On the 25th, Chinese in California marched from Nevada to Orange, Holy Grail Tony, and even Chinese in San Francisco raised banners to support the crew of "Chinese Laborers 1863".
On February 2th, Robrie was invited to appear on the American entertainment talk show "Chicken Feather Show".
……
Host Jeremy: "Hi everyone, welcome to our TV talk show. I am your favorite Jeremy, known as Jeremy Unabashed."
Amidst the laughter of the audience, Jeremy said: "Our show is hesitant about which star to invite every day. Last week they told me that I can interview Louis Liu. God, in my high spirits day and night Sleeplessly prepared for a week of questions, even made a custom outfit for it, a tie...yes, I admit I'm a Louis Liu fan, whatever, that's nothing to admit, I just want to know that America has Anyone who is not a fan of Lewis Liu? Is there any?"
Louis Liu is indeed the biggest star actor, and when his name is mentioned, the whole audience cheers.
"Let me just say, you're in the same mood as I am," Jeremy shrugged, "but let me tell you, just this morning, the director and producer told me, oh Jeremy, our guest There's a substitution, you have to interview another person."
Jeremy covered his head and exaggerated: "What thefuck? My first reaction was, on this show, someone can actually squeeze out Louis Liu? So, is it the President of the United States?"
The audience leaned forward and backward with laughter, bursts of applause and laughter.
"They told me, don't worry about the president of the United States, our president is busy holding a press conference," Jeremy said, "It is said that he was stimulated and promised to send a thousand 'Secretary Feng' to various places." .”
"So you also watched that magical TV series from China, right?" Jeremy said, "Yes, I watched it too. Netflix has completely turned to China. It is said that Hussey, the person in charge of Netflix, took China's black money, otherwise there is no way to explain why Netflix actually spent $300 million on a big-screen advertisement for this TV series... As far as I know, Hussey is a person who can't spend a penny for two cents .”
Jeremy clicked his tongue and said: "Speaking of which, I think of the last time I met Hughes. I remember he told me hesitantly, Jeremy, I hope you like the coffee at Netflix headquarters. Our coffee is absolutely unique. It is different, because our coffee is not ground from coffee beans, but extracted from coffee liquid.”
Jeremy: "I always thought I was drinking a different kind of coffee, until I saw the words coffee extraction in the instructions for instant coffee."
"Grandet!" Amidst the laughter, Jeremy complained, "Absolutely Grandet, Hussey, so it's very hard to explain how this guy is uncharacteristically spending so much money to advertise a Chinese TV series of."
"Well, I said all this just to tell you guys," Jeremy said, "Our show invited an actor, a Chinese actor, oh God, I couldn't help interrupting, you must remember to remind me, When I invite him to the stage later, I will definitely ask him a question, how did he squeeze out Louis Liu to come to our show..."
"Now let's invite Luo Brie, the Chinese actor known as 'reviving the glory of Broadway'!"
Amid the applause, Robry came up in a casual shirt.
"A stunning actor," Jeremy said. "Say hello to our audience, Ro."
Robrey smiled at the camera: "Hello friends in the United States, I am Robrie from China. I came to the United States not long ago and brought you a stage play adapted from Swan Lake. Thank you for your recognition and appreciation of art. Support, this time I am honored to set foot on familiar land again, I am very happy to see you.”
He is fluent in English and has a cute western accent, just like the boys at home deliberately imitating the western cowboy accent, and quickly won the favor of the audience, especially the aunts.
Jeremy laughed and said, "Welcome, Luo. In fact, when you performed Swan Lake last time, our show noticed you, and we planned to invite you. However, your schedule seems to be very tight. When you return home up,"
"Yes," Robrey spread his hands, "Do you know why I hurried back to China?"
"Oh why?"
"Because our TV drama awards have opened, I am bound to win this award."
"Haha, so that's the case, although I don't pay much attention to China's TV drama awards," Jeremy said, "But I want to know, did you win the award in the end?"
"I won the award," Robery said, "The judges thought it was not easy for me to cross the ocean, so they unanimously decided to award this award to me."
Outside the venue, the producer reminded: "The award Luo won in China is equivalent to the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series."
"Wow!" There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.
"So you are Shidi of the TV series?" Jeremy looked him up and down: "In China?"
"you can say it this way."
"Look at China, how discerning their TV drama judges are, they selected such a young and handsome Shidi..." Jeremy shook his head and said, "And our Emmy judges always like to give away the actor's trophy Give it to those old men who are 50 or [-] years old, of course, if it is an old man like Louis Liu, there should not be many objections."
By the way, it satirized the lackluster Emmy Awards.
Jeremy immediately asked the question he had just now: "Just now I asked the audience to remind me that I must ask you, how does it feel to squeeze Louis Liu into our show?"
Robry thought for a while: "To be honest, it feels like Jeremy that you squeezed out Vanessa to host this year's Oscars."
Jeremy and Vanessa are well-known interview hosts, and they often take turns hosting the Oscars.
Jeremy's eyes widened.
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.
The director watched the show in the background and took a sip of coffee: "Wow, it seems that we have chosen the right person. This guy is very good at creating hot spots. I swear that after this episode airs, the ratings will be amazing."
"Vanessa is a very good host, she is very professional, she can keep laughing for a long time, focused and confident," Jeremy said: "She can keep calling the wrong guest's name for the whole episode. "
This is about Vanessa's negligence once. She misremembered the guest's nickname and called 'Eason' instead of 'Eddie'.
Everyone laughed.
Robrie didn't smile.
"Isn't this joke funny? Well, I'll make another complaint."
"Almost Jeremy...I want to be on Vanessa's show."
"so?"
"So I promise that on Vanessa's show, when she teases you, I won't laugh."
The audience burst out laughing again.
For Robrie's unexpected quick wit.
……
The host Jeremy also quickly discovered that the young actor was easy-talking, humorous, unexpected, and very adaptable to the atmosphere of the show.
"You said you didn't even speak English very well before Swan Lake?"
"Yes," Robery nodded and said, "I never paid much attention to foreign languages in school. I studied drama performance in college, and I didn't have any contact with English."
"So, did you learn English for Swan Lake?"
"No, in fact, I learned English because a director told me that if I could learn English, he would let me be the leading actor in his movie," Robery said lightly, "He is the director I really want to work with. , so I made learning English a goal that I had to accomplish, and fortunately, I completed it. By the way, this movie is called "Huagong 1863", and it is also the movie I am shooting in California now."
"1863?" Jeremy thought for a while, "Let me think about what happened in 1863... If I remember correctly, it was when the American Civil War was raging."
"That's right," Robery replied easily: "Your Northern Federation is in full swing with the slave owners in the South. No one pays attention to what happened in the desolate west. The Chinese were trafficked here as piglets. Under the oppression of capitalists, With blood and tears, the Central Railway that now runs through the East and West was built."
Jeremy was silent for a moment: "I don't think I know much about this history."
"Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal, dear Jeremy," Robrey said. "You can erase the traces of the Chinese laborers and refuse them to attend when the railway is completed, just like you did with the Indians, but someone will always remember clearly." Chu, the people who have lost family members, they call out to their family members and get a response from the family members, with every train that passes the Central Railroad."
The atmosphere at the scene became depressed.
"Each nation has its own characteristics. For example, you Americans, you are confident, optimistic, and full of strength, but you are lazy and lazy to work," I heard Robbury said: "You are unwilling to work because you think that kind of work is too hard, so the Chinese Hard work has become a tool for you to realize your interests. Ships full of Chinese workers set sail and came to the west. Compared with the black slave trade, it is a tragic story."
"You have a very good movie, "12 Years a Slave", which is of great significance. You have faced up to the miserable days of those black slaves, and you have reflected on this history." Robbury said: "But none of you reflects the history of Chinese laborers. This period of history is proposed to be reproduced by us Chinese, so it should be taken seriously.”
Jeremy nodded. "I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your crew. A racist seemed to verbally attack you."
Robrie: "It's okay, I hit him too, to be honest, I didn't show mercy."
Jeremy laughed. "It's great, isn't it?"
Robery: "This incident reflects that until now, racial issues have been a major issue in the United States. Until now, some people still blatantly engage in discrimination. This is the result of nearly 100 years of unyielding struggles by black people... It is conceivable As we all know, in the United States in the nineteenth century, any race of different skin color suffered more intense and extreme discrimination."
Jeremy admitted: "Even after the Civil War for many years, black people still haven't been treated fairly."
"you guys
As soon as Robli looked up, a chubby red-haired middle-aged man waved excitedly: ""An official came to the village", I am a fan of this TV series!"
Robbie chatted with this fan named Mike immediately.
"Have you watched this TV show too?"
"Of course, because Netflix only shows two episodes a week... I even complained about it!"
"Haha, did Netflix accept your complaint?"
"They told me they might change the format next week!"
"Sounds great."
"I asked for leave to pick up the plane. I'm a community worker! I just have one question!"
"what is the problem?"
"That rascal named Uncle Mazi, do you regret it the most?"
"Wait a minute, I heard you right, you use the word rascal to describe Uncle Mazi?"
"Yes, he is a rogue, God, if I encounter such a rogue, I have no other choice but to call the police and let the police intervene! So I admire you, you have so many ways to deal with this rogue, Let him obey you obediently!"
Robry: "...Well, to be honest, if I knew I would meet a fan like you, I would definitely bring you a book. I think this book might be helpful to your work."
"What book? A divine book from the East?"
"Basically, this book is easy to understand. It's called "Community Work Handbook"...the community workers in the mysterious ancient oriental country all have a copy."
Mike blushed with excitement: "So this book can allow me to work as quickly and efficiently as Secretary Feng?"
Robry didn't blink his eyes when he said nonsense: "Of course."
……
In fact, Netflix really changed the broadcast mode.
By Saturday, all 33 episodes had been uploaded online and could be clicked all at once.
Netflix conference room.
The number on the screen once reached 223 after the update of "Village Official", that is to say, within an hour after the update, more than 223 million users clicked to watch "Village Official".
Of course, this result is nothing compared to other popular dramas, but Netflix’s broadcast mode is relatively new, that is to say, audiences prefer to watch it all at once. In fact, all audiences don’t like to wait, they all like it. Watch the next episode immediately after watching one episode.
Netflix executives are quite satisfied with this result. After 48 hours of statistics, 13 viewers watched all 33 episodes in one go.
Moreover, many people expressed their affirmation by leaving messages for this TV series that shows the customs of rural China.
Even spontaneously recommended.
"A very different TV series. I never expected to watch a Chinese TV series until two in the morning, but this show has the charm that you can't stop!"
"This drama is very amazing. It allows me to see the difference between the political systems of China and the United States. They have unexpectedly very strict rural grassroots organizations and huge bureaucratic systems...but what is very interesting is their grassroots power operation mode With layers of supervision, no one can play with power as he pleases."
"I'm going to give this show 33 stars, minus [-] star because it's too long, [-] episodes! Omg, there's still a long wait! But I have to admit, although the number of episodes is more than expected There are many, but the plot is very clear, highly compact, and there are always endless things happening in a small village!"
"Well, I admit that I came to watch a TV series from China because of the influence of "Swan Lakeside". After all, I like the leading role very much. What I want to say is that the leading role named Robry has a fascinating charm. , I can't connect the village cadre in the shirt and trousers with the charming prince on the stage, they are two people!"
"Actors have such magical powers. All the actors in the play have a breath of life, just like if you have never been to the American West, you can't imagine what people in the West do every day...I admit that I have been to China twice , but I still haven’t seen such a scene in life.”
"So is there a second season of this show?"
This question on Twitter has been liked by many people, but soon there is a regrettable truth underneath.
"There is no second season of this show, and the bad thing is that this show is a true story. As far as I know, the protagonist of this show has died."
"My God, this is really bad news!"
……
"Village Official" is quite high on Netflix's user click list and new TV series ratings list. Apart from the reason why Robrie's performance in the United States attracted attention, the main reason is that this TV series once attracted attention. There was a moderate riot in the United States.
At that time, in order to make a big show and promote the TV series, Robrie's fans bought an advertisement directly on the NASDAQ screen in New York Plaza.
Poverty Advertisement.
The result shocked the American public opinion circles.
There were even demonstrations in several areas.
So as soon as Netflix launched this TV series, it attracted many viewers to watch it spontaneously.
Of course, the TV series did not disappoint them either.
They are quite disappointed with the US government.
"God, when will the White House send America's 'Secretary Feng' to save our bad economy!"
"Inflation, inflation, can our experts only point out problems, not solve them?"
The recent inflation rate is simply outrageously high.
Even the White House spokesperson had to stand up to answer questions from the public.
"Please believe that the government is working out measures to solve the problem of inflation, and believe that there are more solutions than problems..."
That's right, there are more solutions than problems.
But why does this sentence sound weird?
Isn't this... a classic line from "Village Official"?
……
During the day, they fought with each other and attacked China.
In the evening, I secretly clicked on Netflix...it turned out to be you!
Gan.
……
After Robrie flew to the United States.
Mr. Gu completely lost his worries, and his secret battle with Guan Hongsheng had reached a climax on the bright side.
He even received a blatant call from Guan Hongsheng.
"Mr. Gu, long time no see."
"Compared to Mr. Gu's success in the film and television industry, I, Guan Hongsheng, a mouse in the ditch, was beaten by you and defeated. It's really miserable... Back then, you didn't have enough money to cut off people, and you had to cut off your life. , Mr. Gu, you are really good at what you do, so don’t blame me, Guan Hongsheng, for going out of your way today, I heard that Mr. Gu, you also intend to acquire Tianji?"
Guan Hongsheng's wild laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Unfortunately, Mr. Gu, your cash flow is not as good as mine, and your hands are not as fast as mine. I have already bought Tianji stock in the open market. Almost all the remaining outstanding shares are in my hands!"
Contempt appeared in Mr. Gu's sharp eyes.
"is it?"
Facing Guan Hongsheng's provocation, Mr. Gu remained calm and dismissive at all.
A stupid prey who thinks he is a good hunter.
As everyone knows, the skilled hunters have already laid down a net, waiting for the moment to close the net.
Guan Hongsheng believed that by purchasing Tianji's stock in the market, he could control Tianji.
Unexpectedly, Tianji launched the Inverted Poison Pill Project.
That is to say, if Guan Hongsheng and Zhang Dahai continue to increase their holdings of Tianji's shares in the market, causing their holdings to exceed 50.00%, shareholders other than Guan Hongsheng and Zhang Dahai can rely on their hands to establish Tianji as early as possible. A special right that he had when he was born - stock options, to buy the shares of Tianji's second round of expansion at half price.
That's right, I didn't expect that this half-dead Tianji Film and Television Entertainment Company, which seemed to be unable to reach a net profit of 1.3 million yuan a year, would actually be able to expand its shares in a second round.
This is the 'Inverted Poison Pill Plan' given by the team hired by Mr. Gu.
After the share expansion, the shareholding ratio will change.
For example, the shares held by Zhang Dahai and Guan Hongsheng will be reduced from 50% to 30% or even 20%.
Dilution of shares.
Aren't you rich, you continue to buy.
You buy, you continue to buy 50%, I will continue three rounds of share expansion.
Dilution over and over again, anyway, this is what the original shareholders of Tianji love to see most, anyway, they can buy the company's shares at half price, and the shares they hold are still growing.
……
"Mr. Gu, haha, let me tell you a piece of news. Zhang Dahai couldn't sit still. He ran up to me and patted the table, and asked me why I didn't keep my integrity and expanded my shares privately." Xiao Zhenting's relieved smile came from the other end of the phone. Voice: "I didn't talk politely to him, and asked the lawyer to talk to him directly. The lawyer you recommended to me is really good at talking, saying that Zhang Dahai is a hostile takeover, Tianji is self-protection, and Tianji is justified in the court Hahaha!"
Mr. Gu smiled: "Zhang Dahai and Guan Hongsheng won't let it go, I guess they still have something to do."
"What's behind?"
Mr. Gu said: "In addition to buying shares, they can also get rid of Tianji's directors and even executives to achieve the purpose of controlling Tianji."
Don't forget, after all, Zhang Dahai holds 40% of Tianji's stock.
Even Xiao Zhenting's own original shares have dropped to 38%, and now he is uniting with other shareholders to compete with Zhang Dahai.
Xiao Zhenting suddenly became anxious: "The shitty Zhang Dahai, I forgot about this, if he really does this, I really can't stand it, what should I do, Mr. Gu?"
……
"Xiao Zhenting is not a good bird. I said he couldn't sell Tianji to me quickly. He also wanted to play me. If it goes to the court, it will be nothing more than a commercial judgment of acquisition and anti-acquisition... ...You said, what should we do now?"
"What are you afraid of?" Guan Hongsheng snorted: "Don't forget that you still have 40% of the shares in your hand, you can completely... bloodbath Tianji!"
Bloodbath Tianji, remove all directors and executives including Xiao Zhenting, let's see what else he can do!
……
Commercial secret war is the most murderous.
The most thrilling.
However, Robry, who is far away in the western part of the United States, does not know that the domestic acquisition war is already in full swing. He is now immersed in the role. The role of Lin Yinan has also come to the United States after Wu Dong played by Chen Zhuo.
Lin Yinan has a strong hometown complex, but he doesn't want to cross the ocean if he has something to eat.
But fate is like this. Less than a year after Wu Dong left, Lin Yinan's sister and fiancee were infected with the epidemic and died one after another. In the forced sale case, he had to go bankrupt and pay a large sum of money, so he had to go begging on the street.
Unexpectedly, when he was begging, he was imprisoned in a shelter by kidnappers, and he was violently forced to sign an ocean labor contract. The contract stated that he would have to work for 18 years before he could be free.
Even his chest was stamped with the symbol of slavery.
In this way, he was led onto the boat like a dog, locked under the cabin like other cheated laborers, lost his dignity, lost his body, drifted on the boat for two and a half months, in the hot environment, in the terrible environment Under these conditions, he narrowly escaped death and finally came to the United States.
Then he was thrown to Nevada to repair the railroad.
To be honest, Robli was very depressed when he made this film, because the director had high requirements, and Robli, who was trying to lose weight and learn English, gritted his teeth and felt that it was all right.
It's the job of an actor, it's not a pain.
It is not uncommon for Robrie to experience more bitterness.
During the filming of "Village Official", Robbie fell into the sand field upside down, and his skin was dry and cracked under the sun.When I was filming "Assassins", I rolled in the cold mud, and the sound of explosions made my ears rumble.
Filming "Fly to Ptolemy" was even more painful, experiencing the feeling of being a sailor on a vibrating plane.
Therefore, the upper limit of Robry's suffering is high.
Compared with sexual torture, the most unbearable thing for Robrie is the mental torture.
In history, what happened to the real Chinese workers made him feel angry and suffocated.
He looked through the materials and saw that since the 50s, those millions of compatriots who have been deceived or trafficked out of the country have encountered everything in foreign countries——
The Chinese workers who were abused, beaten, detained, and tortured to death, like the Central Railway that traverses the east and west of the United States in front of them, were almost paved by the Chinese workers with their lives.
The harsh environment, avalanches, and cruel exploitation by the capitalists have caused the bones of Chinese workers to be found under every sleeper. They were forced to work in snowstorms with meager salaries, without any personal insurance, and no compensation for death , Even several protests were brutally suppressed, and the leader was hanged to intimidate other Chinese workers who tried to protest.
That real rage that Robry felt, that hatred of not being able to go back in time to save his people, mixed with the character's fate, made him burst out with great strength every day.
That kind of shocking thing, something that came from the bottom of my heart, even the staff watching clearly felt it, let alone Director Jiao who was sitting behind the monitor.
Jiao Guodong has secretly sighed in his heart more than ten times.
How lucky he is that Lin Yinan's character met Robbie.
……
The show is over.
Without saying a word, Robrie picked up the water bottle and returned to his room.
Director Jiao and Chen Zhuo looked at each other, "It's time to play."
Obviously, it is not simply entering the play, but deeply entering the play.
It's low pressure.
Jiao Guodong really hopes that the actors will join the play, which is a very good thing for the whole play. He hopes that the actors have emotions in their hearts, and the emotions can be expressed externally.
However, he also reminded: "Roles and actors still have to be separated. This is what you learned when you were studying acting."
……
When Chen Zhuo walked into Robli's lounge, he saw that Robli was lying on the single seat, his eyes were empty.
In this lounge, old black and white photos of Chinese workers are pasted everywhere.
You said that Robbie watches every day, can he not be depressed?
"stop looking."
Robbie was silent.
At this time, I heard yelling in the next room, and it seemed that several bottles of beer were opened.
The next room is an American ensemble cast. This movie is a co-production, and there are roles such as American supervisors and capitalists in it, and American actors must play them.
American actors are different from Chinese actors. The crews in China have a higher sense of responsibility. Often, one or two scenes are not well shot, and they wait until the filming is good, which delays the crew's time to get off work.
But the American actors were not happy. They were very concerned about the concept of time. If they said that they would finish at 07:30, they would definitely stop at 07:30. You had to pay me by the hour for the extra time.
And white people like to have fun. Once work is over, you can often hear them having parties in twos and threes, drinking and playing cards and the like.
It is estimated that the neighbor is also drunk.
A drunken voice came: "Neggers, trash, Indians, trash, yellow people, more trash!"
"You drank too much David, you drank six bottles!"
"I didn't! The yellow-skinned monkey..."
There was a 'bang', and before the American extras could react, Robrie kicked open the door and walked in.
"Hey, Luo," the leading American ensemble greeted him, "Let's have a drink together?"
Robrey took his glass and splashed it in his face.
"The yellow-skinned monkey just now," Robery said coldly, looking around at the people in the room, "Who said that?"
The others had already sobered up a bit, realized that something seemed wrong, and became confused.
"What yellow-skinned monkey, you must have misheard..."
A fat man of two hundred catties opened his drunken eyes and laughed loudly: "I said, what's the problem? You East Asians are like monkeys. This is a problem of race..."
He didn't finish his sentence at all, because he had already been knocked down by a punch.
"Human race?" Robery laughed back angrily: "Great, let me see your race, can you take a beating!"
Only when the bottle shattered and the ground was covered with shards, and the fat man was rolling and wailing on the shards, did the others fully react and rushed up to stop a bigger fight.
"Luo, listen to me, Luo, stop!"
……
There was a brawl on the set.
This thing is really tricky.
If this was a normal filming, this kind of fight would not require the director to come forward at all, and the production crew directly fired the two of them with the contract.
But now it's a fight between the lead actor and the extras, and it's a cross-border fight.
... Transnational, yes, really transnational.
The Chinese actor beat the American actor and was hospitalized.
The matter even alarmed the local media and spread throughout California.
Even people from the local actors' union came to the crew to inquire and investigate the matter. Of course, the dead fat man crying in the hospital was indeed a member of the local actors' union.
Robrie was politely taken for a transcript.
Jiao Guodong is in a hurry, how to solve this matter, will it affect the filming, will the actor Robry be taken away, if this news spreads to China, it will be fine!
Just when he was about to contact the country, and then contact the relevant departments in California from the country, Robry walked out easily, and the actors' union followed him and kept apologizing.
"Our union is deeply ashamed to have an actor like Rudy," the person in charge of the actor union said with shame on his face: "When we approved him to join the union, we didn't find that he was a complete racist. Words and positions have nothing to do with us, I can only say that such actors appearing in the union is a disgrace to everyone in the union."
While apologizing to Robrie, the person in charge promised Rudy to apologize, and at the same time hinted at Robrie's attitude towards the media, hoping that Robrie's major incidents would be reduced and that he would not promote the matter of 'racial discrimination'.
Robbie let out a laugh.
Put down a sentence coldly.
"Do you think the present China is the former China?"
Do you think it is still time for the Chinese to swallow their anger?
He insulted blacks, and blacks can directly sue him in court. For such politically correct things, he can even be sentenced to seven or eight years in prison.
Why do you hope that when it is the turn of the Asians, I will make a big deal smaller and not pursue it anymore?
To put it bluntly, it is still the same way of thinking. Compared with blacks and Hispanics, Asians can be bullied by anyone.
The person in charge blushed when asked.
"Look at the Central Railway, which traverses east and west. It is formed by the accumulation of bones of the Chinese people. We come here with a deep heart to commemorate our compatriots, and to pursue their stories and relics," Robery pointed to the railway in front of him. : "But I was insulted face to face... I can't forgive, I will never reconcile."
Robrey: "You should be glad that I didn't disable that man named Rudy, otherwise, according to the system of your actors' union, you would have to pay his medical expenses for the rest of your life."
The person in charge fled.
……
Jiao Guodong didn't expect things to develop in this way. The next day, the local police came in a police car, but they didn't come here to arrest Robrie, but to arrest that dead fat man named Rudy from the hospital and take him to the hospital. In front of Robbury, he was ordered to apologize to Robrie.
With six stitches in his scalp, Rudy, with a salt water bottle dangling from his arm, looked at Robrie tremblingly.
"I apologize……"
"I know I'm wrong, I said some harsh words, but I'm not racist at all! I drank too much, the doctor proved that alcohol damaged my brain, and I was forced to abstain from alcohol for six weeks by the community. They will Come to supervise at any time..."
Robrey: "Very well, your apology was very polite."
In the flickering lights at the scene, Robrie said, "But I refuse to accept the apology."
Rudy stared blankly.
He looked big, but he was full of fat, and he was not as strong as Robry, a man who had trained muscles for a long time, so he was beaten up by Robrie that day without any resistance.
Seeing Robrie now, the wounds are doubly painful.
"According to the laws of the United States, you apologize, but I have the right to accept or refuse, and now I refuse to accept the apology," Robery said: "Because you are not insulting me alone, but insulting all yellow-skinned Asians. They decide whether to accept your apology."
……
Director Jiao couldn't understand: "What do you want to do?"
This matter has been settled very well, under the banner of racism, all the local public opinion is in their favor, because they are 'zzzq'.
This incident made the actor union very sorry. They even promised that this time the actors would not receive the film crew's salary, but only need to pay the labor fee.
But Robrie appears to have other purposes.
I saw a sly and confident light flashing on Robery's face that was a little peeled due to the climate problem in the west.
"Look, director, this matter is a fuse, I want to use this rope to light a fire!"
……
On the 19th, the local evening news broadcast the incident and commented on it.
The local residents were alarmed. Rudy in the hospital was thrown stones and wine bottles in the middle of the night. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to stay in the hospital and insisted on going back to his home.
When the Chinese in California heard the news, some called the film crew to ask if the matter had been resolved, and some drove hundreds of miles directly to the place where the film crew was stationed to express condolences in person.
On the 25th, Chinese in California marched from Nevada to Orange, Holy Grail Tony, and even Chinese in San Francisco raised banners to support the crew of "Chinese Laborers 1863".
On February 2th, Robrie was invited to appear on the American entertainment talk show "Chicken Feather Show".
……
Host Jeremy: "Hi everyone, welcome to our TV talk show. I am your favorite Jeremy, known as Jeremy Unabashed."
Amidst the laughter of the audience, Jeremy said: "Our show is hesitant about which star to invite every day. Last week they told me that I can interview Louis Liu. God, in my high spirits day and night Sleeplessly prepared for a week of questions, even made a custom outfit for it, a tie...yes, I admit I'm a Louis Liu fan, whatever, that's nothing to admit, I just want to know that America has Anyone who is not a fan of Lewis Liu? Is there any?"
Louis Liu is indeed the biggest star actor, and when his name is mentioned, the whole audience cheers.
"Let me just say, you're in the same mood as I am," Jeremy shrugged, "but let me tell you, just this morning, the director and producer told me, oh Jeremy, our guest There's a substitution, you have to interview another person."
Jeremy covered his head and exaggerated: "What thefuck? My first reaction was, on this show, someone can actually squeeze out Louis Liu? So, is it the President of the United States?"
The audience leaned forward and backward with laughter, bursts of applause and laughter.
"They told me, don't worry about the president of the United States, our president is busy holding a press conference," Jeremy said, "It is said that he was stimulated and promised to send a thousand 'Secretary Feng' to various places." .”
"So you also watched that magical TV series from China, right?" Jeremy said, "Yes, I watched it too. Netflix has completely turned to China. It is said that Hussey, the person in charge of Netflix, took China's black money, otherwise there is no way to explain why Netflix actually spent $300 million on a big-screen advertisement for this TV series... As far as I know, Hussey is a person who can't spend a penny for two cents .”
Jeremy clicked his tongue and said: "Speaking of which, I think of the last time I met Hughes. I remember he told me hesitantly, Jeremy, I hope you like the coffee at Netflix headquarters. Our coffee is absolutely unique. It is different, because our coffee is not ground from coffee beans, but extracted from coffee liquid.”
Jeremy: "I always thought I was drinking a different kind of coffee, until I saw the words coffee extraction in the instructions for instant coffee."
"Grandet!" Amidst the laughter, Jeremy complained, "Absolutely Grandet, Hussey, so it's very hard to explain how this guy is uncharacteristically spending so much money to advertise a Chinese TV series of."
"Well, I said all this just to tell you guys," Jeremy said, "Our show invited an actor, a Chinese actor, oh God, I couldn't help interrupting, you must remember to remind me, When I invite him to the stage later, I will definitely ask him a question, how did he squeeze out Louis Liu to come to our show..."
"Now let's invite Luo Brie, the Chinese actor known as 'reviving the glory of Broadway'!"
Amid the applause, Robry came up in a casual shirt.
"A stunning actor," Jeremy said. "Say hello to our audience, Ro."
Robrey smiled at the camera: "Hello friends in the United States, I am Robrie from China. I came to the United States not long ago and brought you a stage play adapted from Swan Lake. Thank you for your recognition and appreciation of art. Support, this time I am honored to set foot on familiar land again, I am very happy to see you.”
He is fluent in English and has a cute western accent, just like the boys at home deliberately imitating the western cowboy accent, and quickly won the favor of the audience, especially the aunts.
Jeremy laughed and said, "Welcome, Luo. In fact, when you performed Swan Lake last time, our show noticed you, and we planned to invite you. However, your schedule seems to be very tight. When you return home up,"
"Yes," Robrey spread his hands, "Do you know why I hurried back to China?"
"Oh why?"
"Because our TV drama awards have opened, I am bound to win this award."
"Haha, so that's the case, although I don't pay much attention to China's TV drama awards," Jeremy said, "But I want to know, did you win the award in the end?"
"I won the award," Robery said, "The judges thought it was not easy for me to cross the ocean, so they unanimously decided to award this award to me."
Outside the venue, the producer reminded: "The award Luo won in China is equivalent to the Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series."
"Wow!" There was a burst of exclamation from the scene.
"So you are Shidi of the TV series?" Jeremy looked him up and down: "In China?"
"you can say it this way."
"Look at China, how discerning their TV drama judges are, they selected such a young and handsome Shidi..." Jeremy shook his head and said, "And our Emmy judges always like to give away the actor's trophy Give it to those old men who are 50 or [-] years old, of course, if it is an old man like Louis Liu, there should not be many objections."
By the way, it satirized the lackluster Emmy Awards.
Jeremy immediately asked the question he had just now: "Just now I asked the audience to remind me that I must ask you, how does it feel to squeeze Louis Liu into our show?"
Robry thought for a while: "To be honest, it feels like Jeremy that you squeezed out Vanessa to host this year's Oscars."
Jeremy and Vanessa are well-known interview hosts, and they often take turns hosting the Oscars.
Jeremy's eyes widened.
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.
The director watched the show in the background and took a sip of coffee: "Wow, it seems that we have chosen the right person. This guy is very good at creating hot spots. I swear that after this episode airs, the ratings will be amazing."
"Vanessa is a very good host, she is very professional, she can keep laughing for a long time, focused and confident," Jeremy said: "She can keep calling the wrong guest's name for the whole episode. "
This is about Vanessa's negligence once. She misremembered the guest's nickname and called 'Eason' instead of 'Eddie'.
Everyone laughed.
Robrie didn't smile.
"Isn't this joke funny? Well, I'll make another complaint."
"Almost Jeremy...I want to be on Vanessa's show."
"so?"
"So I promise that on Vanessa's show, when she teases you, I won't laugh."
The audience burst out laughing again.
For Robrie's unexpected quick wit.
……
The host Jeremy also quickly discovered that the young actor was easy-talking, humorous, unexpected, and very adaptable to the atmosphere of the show.
"You said you didn't even speak English very well before Swan Lake?"
"Yes," Robery nodded and said, "I never paid much attention to foreign languages in school. I studied drama performance in college, and I didn't have any contact with English."
"So, did you learn English for Swan Lake?"
"No, in fact, I learned English because a director told me that if I could learn English, he would let me be the leading actor in his movie," Robery said lightly, "He is the director I really want to work with. , so I made learning English a goal that I had to accomplish, and fortunately, I completed it. By the way, this movie is called "Huagong 1863", and it is also the movie I am shooting in California now."
"1863?" Jeremy thought for a while, "Let me think about what happened in 1863... If I remember correctly, it was when the American Civil War was raging."
"That's right," Robery replied easily: "Your Northern Federation is in full swing with the slave owners in the South. No one pays attention to what happened in the desolate west. The Chinese were trafficked here as piglets. Under the oppression of capitalists, With blood and tears, the Central Railway that now runs through the East and West was built."
Jeremy was silent for a moment: "I don't think I know much about this history."
"Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal, dear Jeremy," Robrey said. "You can erase the traces of the Chinese laborers and refuse them to attend when the railway is completed, just like you did with the Indians, but someone will always remember clearly." Chu, the people who have lost family members, they call out to their family members and get a response from the family members, with every train that passes the Central Railroad."
The atmosphere at the scene became depressed.
"Each nation has its own characteristics. For example, you Americans, you are confident, optimistic, and full of strength, but you are lazy and lazy to work," I heard Robbury said: "You are unwilling to work because you think that kind of work is too hard, so the Chinese Hard work has become a tool for you to realize your interests. Ships full of Chinese workers set sail and came to the west. Compared with the black slave trade, it is a tragic story."
"You have a very good movie, "12 Years a Slave", which is of great significance. You have faced up to the miserable days of those black slaves, and you have reflected on this history." Robbury said: "But none of you reflects the history of Chinese laborers. This period of history is proposed to be reproduced by us Chinese, so it should be taken seriously.”
Jeremy nodded. "I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your crew. A racist seemed to verbally attack you."
Robrie: "It's okay, I hit him too, to be honest, I didn't show mercy."
Jeremy laughed. "It's great, isn't it?"
Robery: "This incident reflects that until now, racial issues have been a major issue in the United States. Until now, some people still blatantly engage in discrimination. This is the result of nearly 100 years of unyielding struggles by black people... It is conceivable As we all know, in the United States in the nineteenth century, any race of different skin color suffered more intense and extreme discrimination."
Jeremy admitted: "Even after the Civil War for many years, black people still haven't been treated fairly."
