"Mom, you've worked hard!" Xiao Qin acted like a spoiled daughter and threw herself into Auntie Ren's embrace.
Auntie Ren stroked her daughter's hair while coldly sizing me up.
"How's your English?" Auntie Ren suddenly asked.
Huh? She suddenly cares about my English results because she said before that if my English meets the requirements, then she would recommend me a role! I'm not interested! I came to the set today with a different goal!
Also, my English results are still as terrible as ever! During a quiz last week, one of the questions asked me to write the English name of penguin. I wrote 'QQ' without even thinking about it! The embarrassing thing is that I wasn't the only one who wrote it, Xiong YaoYue also thought QQ was the correct answer. My face also heated up when the teacher criticized her!
Right when I didn't know how to respond, the main actor appeared on the set. It wasn't Ai Mi, but a young man with flaxen hair, dark brown eyes, a Latin face, a sunny appearance, and a bit of an optimist. I don't think the age of westerners is accurate, but this person should be around 18, not older than 20.
He's a bit taller than me right now (but I'm not sure in the future). The muscles on his shoulders are very firm, it should be from working out in the gym (it doesn't usually equate to actual combat ability). The costume he was wearing was very mixed and matched. It was probably Zheng He who borrowed a blanket from the Native Americans during his voyage to the Western Hemisphere. Then, he cut it up and tied one of the blankets on his head as a hairband. Then, he transmigrated to the Gold Rush in the United States and bought a pair of mosquito-repellent jeans. Then, he put them on a rock to wear. With the coiled dragon embroidery on his chest, it was hard to tell which village on Earth his tailor lived in.
Is this what foreigners call 'Eastern style'? But I have to admit that even though it was mixed and matched, it wasn't ugly overall. It really showed the actor's passion and unrestrained character.
Auntie Ren walked to the front to instruct the person's movements. I couldn't understand a single word because she was speaking English.
Xiao Qin walked back to my side and helped me explain:
"Mom told Kyle to pay attention to number 7's elbow rotation … Oh right, everyone calls him Kyle. He's the male lead of the Magic Cauldron, an American. Mom recently had a good evaluation of him, she said he's the most hardworking out of all the young actors. "
Is he the male lead of this movie? I remember Ai Mi was playing the female lead. According to the nature of adventure dramas, the male and female lead would definitely be a couple in the plot. So this guy was the one who hugged and tugged at my sister every day during filming? I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling in my heart!
"About that, Ai Mi actually doesn't have much physical contact with Kyle in the show. I read a bit of the script my mom brought back and I felt like the setup of the show was pretty strange: Although Ai Mi is the female lead, she's a powerful villain in the first season and will only be cleared up in the second season. In the current plot, Kyle is mainly in love with the second female lead and the second male lead … "
Wait a minute! What are you talking about? It's not hard to understand Ai Mi's setting of black first and then white, it's also a gimmick. But what do you mean by the male lead and the second male lead are in a relationship?
"Ah ~ ~ did I use a language that you can't understand?" Xiao Qin quickly corrected, "In layman's terms, you're gay. Everyone in the world is gay, even the director thinks it's impossible to get ratings without a bit of gay love. "
After a pause, she said worriedly: "Even so, can you not follow the trend and get gay? I'll definitely satisfy you better than gay friends. "
As she spoke, the male lead, Kyle, was already standing on the wall and fighting with the golden armored warriors. The warriors came forward one by one according to the order Auntie Ren arranged. On the surface, it looks like they were bullying him with numbers, but in reality, they were sending themselves up one by one to make it easier for others to beat them up.
Even if there were no sound effects or special effects, this group fight scene was a bit fake. But as an American who hasn't been exposed to Chinese martial arts for a long time, Kyle's every movement carried a bit of oriental charm. No wonder Auntie Ren praised him.
It was either a punch or a kick. After the samurai received the "heavy blows," they automatically leaped backward and fell on the protective mats outside of the camera's view. One of the samurai was sent flying into the air, and I saw a thin steel rope hanging from his back.
The last samurai who jumped onto the wall made my eyes light up.
First, he didn't have a wire hanging from his back, but he did a beautiful 360 ° somersault on top of the wall. His feet were very stable and the gold-forged prop sword in his hand didn't seem as harmless as before.
Second, he had a long braid on the back of his helmet, which I didn't like. Why is it that after so many years of overthrowing the Qing dynasty, whenever foreigners mention China, they always think that men wear braids and women bind their feet. Why are we always so ignorant and backward?
But even though his movements were beautiful, he was still a minor character. After three exchanges with Kyle, he was also hit in the waist by a middle Collapsing Fist and fell on the protective mats like everyone else.
Kyle's middle Collapsing Fist was quite impressive, it should be the result of Auntie Ren's training, right?
Since my ears were almost a decoration on the English-speaking set, Xiao Qin giggled because she became my professional commentator.
"Did you know? Actually, Kyle is very obsessed with Eastern culture. He even hired four Chinese teachers to learn Mandarin! "
Four? Why not just one? If the four teachers were Shanghai's Zhou Libo, Hunan's Qizhi Dabing, and Liaoning's Zhao Benshan, wouldn't he have to learn his Chinese into a universal language that no one can understand?
"I also heard that in order to learn Chinese, he often humbly asks Ai Mi for guidance!"
That's not strange. Although Ai Mi's Chinese is ugly, she definitely has a level 10 Chinese standard, so teaching a native American is not a problem.
"But Ai Mi doesn't seem to be willing to teach him, she always says that Kyle was murdering her … Also, when the crew was still in America, Kyle said he liked the popular Chinese tattoos on the streets and wanted to tattoo the character 'Shi' that represents samurai …"
For an illiterate Chinese like Kyle to know that the character 'Shi' represents samurai, he was probably influenced by Japanese manga or the fighting game 'Samurai'.
"But the tattoo artist didn't understand Chinese, and Kyle lost the small piece of paper with the character 'Shi' on it. At the time, Ai Mi and the other actors were nearby, so Kyle asked Ai Mi to help him write the character that represents samurai … In the end, Ai Mi gave him the character 'Hemorrhoid'. He thought it looked pretty good, so he happily let the tattoo artist tattoo it …"
— — Hemorrhoid? The character 'Hemorrhoid' in 'Hemorrhoid'? Although I'm your brother, I still think you went a bit overboard! Most people learn the order of Chinese characters first, then learn 'Shi'. You probably didn't write the wrong character by accident, but you deliberately used your knowledge of Chinese to harm people!
"That … that character is still on Kyle's arm, no one has the heart to tell him …" Xiao Qin stuck out her tongue.
Xiao Qin stuck out her tongue. It seemed like she also thought Ai Mi's prank was quite funny.
After the fight scene, Kyle wiped the sweat off his forehead. He actually imitated the martial arts characters in Jianghu movies and made a bow to the twelve samurai who were working with him. Most of the samurai also nodded at him and it was a harmonious scene.
I still didn't remove my prejudice towards Kyle. "Hmph, he made everyone wait for so long, why is he acting like a grandson now?"
Xiao Qin carefully explained to me: "Actually … Actually, the scene just now was originally Ai Mi's, but because Ai Mi suddenly hid her costume and cape, it took the staff a long time to find it. That's why everyone waited for so long, so we decided to shoot a similar scene with Kyle first …"
Seeing that I really wanted to meet Ai Mi, Xiao Qin said: "I'll take you to her." Then she grabbed my hand.
