After getting a clear explanation, Qin Guan asked about the second thing he was interested in.
"Will the Catholic Churches be willing to rent the location to us?"
"Actually, our communication was successful. We had a 60% success rate."
"How many did you contact?"
"Three."
Qin Guan knew that it wouldn't be that smooth. The rent had broken a new record for the studio.
The film company was willing to pay a hundred thousand pounds for the location of a cathedral, but they still missed out on a church.
"So?"
'So we lost Westminster Abbey, but we will go to Lincoln Cathedral, which has a very similar internal structure, and Roslin Cathedral, which was built in the 15th century, to shoot.'
"This is what they mean by 'gain and loss'."
"After all, as one of the Catholic Hermitage Orders, those who maintain the orthodoxy are quite resistant to our movie."
However, most of the branch churches that wanted to promote their doctrines didn't have much resistance to the filming of the movie. On the contrary, in today's society, they were more like a wait-and-see type of nature.
Qin Guan, who was from China, was not as impressed by the beliefs of the foreigners. The Chinese doctrine of non-interference and mercy was different from the harsh beliefs of the foreigners, who didn't believe in God and went to hell.
Qin Guan didn't understand the pressure the others had to bear during the filming. Instead, he was quite relaxed.
The director and the producer returned with a piece of good news. With the approval of the French president, they could enter the Louvre and shoot in the real room where the "Mona Lisa" had been kept.
This was the French government's support for this film, and it was mainly because the female lead and supporting actor were all French actors.
The film had also beautified the French police detectives, so it had left a deep impression on the president.
Politics was also a kind of show. In order to show the beautiful side of one's country to the world, there was nothing faster than a Hollywood film.
That was why the three parties had reached a compromise. There were no American actors in the film, except for Qin Guan, who had registered with the American actors' union. Even the extras had been taken care of by British and French actors.
Now that he had completed the most difficult task, all he had to do was play the role of Qin Guan.
To be honest, Qin Guan was a professor at Harvard University, who had the highest academic qualifications in the entertainment industry.
The first scene was a symbology lecture at a French university, followed by a book signing. Qin Guan, who had seen and heard a lot about symbology for a long time, was as easy as drinking cold water.
The next night, in a venue that looked like a university lecture hall, the projector screen in the background was changing images as Qin Guan spoke with fervor and assurance.
Even the director hadn't expected that Qin Guan would be able to interpret the teachings so perfectly. It was as if he was an expert in symbology himself.
Professor Mark had taught Qin Guan personally, which had influenced Qin Guan a lot. If Qin Guan could imitate the old man's posture, he would be able to impress the people who worshiped science.
When Qin Guan signed his symbology book for his academic fans, the director couldn't help but praise him. He was the most academic actor they had ever seen.
That fitting suit exuded the majesty of the abstinence department. Just like the most authoritative teacher, he was revered by countless top students.
Even the parents of the talented students talked to him with admiration. They worshiped a top scholar.
Several French policemen broke in and broke the silence. One of Qin Guan's friends had been killed by a killer. Before he had died, he had left some symbols in the Louvre that nobody could understand.
Qin Guan, who was related to the dead man and was a master of symbols, caught the attention of the French police. They monitored him and asked him questions. Eventually, they reached an agreement to cooperate.
The scene was shot perfectly in one take. Director Howard only needed to do a second take to make up the difference.
This made Howard, who liked to focus on details repeatedly, hang in the air, unable to move up or down.
Her only hobby and her way of filming didn't work on this man. It was such a depressing thing.
No way! I have to make up for it with someone else.
That night, the only scenes were about Qin Guan and the albino killer.
The poor and unlucky actor was going to play the scene of an ascetic punishing himself tonight.
It was not hard to imagine how the British actor would end up in Howard's hands.
Feeling sympathetic, Qin Guan followed Wang Liying with a worried look on his face.
However, the perceptive agent sensed a hint of schadenfreude from his own artist.
This could be an illusion.
When she saw Qin Guan take out a bag of pork and sit down, she knew that her feeling was right.
He was here to watch the show.
…
Some of the most traditional ascetics were still preserved in some of the Roman Catholic Hermits. They flourished in the Middle Ages, but with the progress of society, they slowly turned into a way of solitary asceticism.
This was the process of the monks trying to cut off the sins they had brought with them from birth, and at the same time, to experience the suffering that Jesus had suffered on the cross.
The method of ascetic training was to weave a thick rope into many strands, and the front end was attached with a whip made of iron hammers or hard hooks. The whip would then be used to whip one's back with all its might, and it was an action that could not be stopped every night.
Devout believers would beat themselves until their flesh was torn and their bodies were covered with scars. They would experience the suffering of the Holy Father. This was what a small group of devout believers yearned for.
The assassin inside was also a disciple wearing a priest's robe. He was one of them.
