True Star Chapter 160, Volume 2 the Budding Talent, Chapter 32: Linguistic skills

Tang Feng soon found out that he had been counted out by Lu Tian Chen and Charles' partnership, according to the expenses level of the other two men was not enough to sustain until the shooting was complete.


Yes, he likes to make money and is happy to spend it, but that does not mean he likes to go bankrupt or watch others squander his hard-earned money at will, but in the beginning this proposal was made by Tang Feng, he cannot change his mind temporarily.

He's not someone to sit around and wait for death, so since you want to count him out, don't blame him for being rude.

Tang Feng communicated with the hotel as quickly as possible, not only canceled the luxury suite but also downgraded the room to a double standard room.

Breakfast? Cancel that too!

Private spa massages, etc., and other dispensable services? Cancel them too!

Overly extravagant delivery service? Also canceled!

After all this, Tang Feng went to work, and as for what Charles and Lu Tian Chen would do when they returned, it had nothing to do with him.

Today he and Mr. Ginno are filming a scene at a European ball, not exactly a double dance at a ball, but two friars who escaped from the church and danced together to vaguely audible music in the ball garden.

This is followed by a full-scale and fiery passion scene that is expected to take more than a week to film in its entirety.

In an old building in Los Angeles, the crew is preparing for the final shoot, having hired a professional team to set up the location a week earlier.

The period of the movie in question is 19th century Europe, when two friars came to England, just after the Industrial Revolution, where most people, though still religious, were more trusting of science, and where the British of the whole era were confident and hopeful about their future.

And this was exactly where Chris had been in the three years he had been away, and thought it was where they meant to live.

The development of technology has led to the enrichment of colorful decorations in Victorian buildings and the use of more emerging materials, most of which have beautiful curves, projecting decorations and intricately carved frames.

The decorations in the ballroom continue the beauty and sophistication of the Cervidoria, with a central ceiling made of plaster roses and large circular relief walls with floral wallpaper, the wallpaper edges are designed with Greek thread feet to create the right composition, the floor is decorated with oil-colored tiles, which are laid in geometric patterns.

And these near-perfect embellishments not only add color, but also allow the actor to get into character more quickly.




Chris and Tang fled all the way to England, they took off their black habiliments and Chris took Tang to a tailor's shop to get a suit made to measure, and over the years he had also saved some of his savings, money that should always be spent where it's worth spending.

At this moment, Tang Feng and Mr. Ginno are in the dressing room having making up done and dressing up, the Victorian costume makes Mr. Ginno, who usually has a bit of a playboy flavor, turn into a nobleman, this guy even slips in front of Tang Feng a few times after getting dressed, as if saying, "Look how handsome I am!"

After Tang Feng was dressed, Mr. Ginno just shut up.

"I think you are the most handsome Oriental man in a tuxedo." Mr. Ginno does not poison his compliments to men.

If Mr. Ginno is a 19th-century aristocrat who looks like a man from a painting, then Tang Feng is a Chinese beauty with a classical flavor. Not only did he not feel outrageous when wearing western dresses, but he was more restrained and mysterious, and this is exactly what Movie Director Li Wei wanted to bring to the audience.

Tang Feng had previously danced a tango with Lu Tian Chen when he first saw Director Li Wei, and later reinforced it in a Superstar class, and now the tango and other social dances are not difficult for him, but they hit a snag soon after filming began.

Tang Feng and Mr. Ginno's dance didn't dance the way Director Li Wei wanted it to, which was another difficult performance to get up after the last time the two's intimate scene was stopped by consecutive shouts from the Director.

There is often a situation in the film where the two lead actors are both famous and handsome, but together they often make the other feel bored.

It's not a problem if the two people can solve it by practicing their dancing.

To this end, the Director was going to revise the lines to deepen the communication between the two main characters and in this way increase the chemistry between the two people and resonate with the audience.

Before Tang Feng, it can be said that he basically relied on expressions, eyes and narration to express the emotions of the characters, while in the second half of the film, he had to deepen his character's image with lines from the script.

Mr. Ginno's lines delivery work is not bad, but now the comparison between them and Tang Feng lines makes him suddenly become weaker in the scene.

When the two were acting under the direction of the Director at the same time, Director Li Wei found out why they had been doing so well together before, but now they suddenly did not get along, because Tang Feng had basically no lines or just a short sentence back then. When Tang Feng started to speak, the whole scene became thicker and thicker with the imagery focusing on him, and once Mr. Ginno caught up with the conversation, the thick atmosphere was washed out a bit again.

Director Li Wei only knew that Tang Feng's English was very good, but he didn't expect that he could reach the level of a man's linguistic skills, which often requires an actor to specialize in the art for five or even ten years to have profound skills. “It's so weird, me and Tang Feng have always been good together before, how come all of a sudden there's no chemistry, how about we kiss to add some chemistry?" Mr. Ginno, still unaware of the Director's thoughts or what the problem was, joked as usual to ease the work atmosphere.

Mr. Ginno's lines are not bad among his peers, but this guy is often in commercials, and the commercial director doesn't demand too much of you, and the commercial director doesn't need you to be deep and sad at times.




Some of the characters' emotions have to be expressed in the lines, what Mr. Ginno lacks is the characters' emotions.

Now that the set and the prototype actors are in place, Director Li Wei first asked Executive Director and the Assistant Director to film the crowd actors, while he alone called Tang Feng and Mr. Ginno into a lounge and told Mr. Ginno the truth without anyone else. "I'm not good at lines?" Mr. Ginno seemed somewhat surprised by this question, not because he said it, but because Tang Feng, an oriental whose native language is not English, is better than him in terms of his ability to deliver lines.

"Tang Feng you go out first, I'll talk to Mr. Ginno." the Director sent Tang Feng out, turned back and closed the door.

Tang Feng waited outside for about half an hour before Mr. Ginno came out, he was a little worried about the big star, but Mr. Ginno didn't seem to have anything wrong with him, seeing that Tang Feng even waved at the man and then ran over.

"I worked out with the Director that I would switch from live radio to post-recording for my line parts." Mr. Ginno said with a smile, seeming to accept Director Li Wei's offer with ease.

"A good choice."

Mr. Ginno winked at Tang Feng and laughed badly, "I didn't expect you to be so good at lines, I've been compared to you, and really, my Mr. Ginno can't be wrong in looking at people, I've also asked the Director for advice in addition to agreeing to this request.” “What opinion?"

"I'll come to you whenever I have the time and let you, the line master, mend my lines delivering, and as a palm fee I'll buy you a meal every once in a while or something, but it's okay if you want me to pay for my meat." Mr. Ginno doesn't have a proper look.

However, this reassured Tang Feng, who was afraid that the Superstar's self-esteem would hurt and ruin their friendship, now that Mr. Ginno does have the potential to become a Superstar, that is, a good mentality and a heart to keep learning.

Sure enough, Director Li Wei quickly called Tang Feng over again, saying that he just wanted Tang Feng to help his partner practice more and that Mr. Ginno is also a good person, Li Wei hopes Tang Feng can use this drama to make a good relationship with Mr. Ginno, which is the first step to enter Hollywood.

Good people are always right.

Regardless of the reason for stepping out, just because Mr. Ginno was his partner, Tang Feng would also grant Li Wei's request.

It was only after he had made an appointment with Mr. Ginno to arrive at the hotel tomorrow morning that Tang Feng remembered that his room was now a standard room, and not only was it a standard room for two but there were three people living in it.

By the time he turned around and called Mr. Ginno, his phone was off.
