Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1962 Correct use of ink

There are three most powerful film companies in Star City, namely Nyasaland Film Company, which specializes in large-scale productions, Star City Film Company, which specializes in low-budget commercial films, and Universal, which has risen in recent years.

Nyasaland Film Company has a strong official background. Enduring commercial blockbusters such as "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" and "Nyasaland" are all works of Nyasaland Film Company, or have the participation of Nyasaland Film Company. Nyasaland Film Company has the ability to mobilize the cooperation of the National Guard of Nyasaland State, which is beyond the reach of other film companies.

Star City Films specializes in low-budget commercial films, mainly comedy feature films. There are very few films in this era, and the market demand for low-budget commercial films is also huge. It is to cooperate with the propaganda work of Nyasaland and even the federal government of southern Africa.

That's what the movie does best.

When people from other countries see the developed economy, beautiful scenery and vibrant southern Africa in the movie, they will yearn for southern Africa spontaneously, and the image of southern Africa that the film tries to create is therefore deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its effect is far more than just making money. So simple.

Except for southern Africa, countries in the world, including the United States, have not yet noticed the role of movies.

When other countries realize this problem, the image of southern Africa has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult to reverse it at that time, so now southern Africa has a tendency to become a "lighthouse country".

Los Angeles is going to hold the Friendship Games. As a satellite city of Los Angeles, Star City has received a strong response. Now Star City has become the business card of Nyasaland and even southern Africa.

About 50 kilometers to the northwest along the Sunset Avenue by Lake Nyasa is Star City. The huge golden five-star and text combination pattern is the symbol of Star City. Now there are more than 300 registered film companies in Star City, and more than [-] film works are produced every year. As a result, Star City has become a dream city for filmmakers around the world.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Jiabao is still working. This is not because Jiabao is so dedicated, but because there are some night scenes that can only be shot at night.

Garbo participated in the filming of this film called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Don't get me wrong, it's not the story of the medical device salesman, but the story of an ordinary woman who came to southern Africa from Europe.

This story is very representative. Southern Africa is a country of immigrants. Many Europeans came to Southern Africa to realize their ideals and find the value of life. The film reflects a standard "Southern African Dream".

In this movie, Garbo's biggest problem is that Garbo is too beautiful, which doesn't match the protagonist's "ordinary" personality. You must know that beautiful girls often have extra points, and some essential things in human nature cannot Avoidance, this may cause Garbo to create a character that may be slightly less convincing.

But this is not the main problem. I am too beautiful to cover up with makeup. Director Bruce hopes that Garbo in the movie will be like a dusty pearl, and gradually emit the brilliance of the character as the plot progresses.

This puts higher demands on Garbo's acting skills. For this reason, Garbo even went to the immigration office to work for a period of time to increase his understanding of the immigrant group. This is the southern African version of experience life.

This evening was filming an open-air scene. The heroine played by Garbo has just arrived in Nyasaland. The careless heroine lost her luggage at the train station and came to Lake Nyasa sadly. The protagonist, the two are about to start a beautiful love.

Garbo himself is still talented in acting. The whole performance is full of tension, expressing the heroine's confusion and anxiety to the fullest. When meeting the male lead in police uniform, the light in Garbo's eyes becomes the biggest highlight of the scene. highlights.

"Great, your performance is perfect!" After shooting the last shot tonight, Steele sent Garbo a windbreaker and milk tea at the right time. Because of Garbo's recommendation, Steele is now serving as Bruce's assistant , the assistant director of the crew of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Steele is still Garbo's closest friend, but the two did not become a couple. Garbo's boyfriend is a professional manager of Nyasaland Company. The two met at a banquet and their relationship quickly heated up.

"Thank you, I feel good too." Garbo was very happy. Although "Happiness Knocks on the Door" is not a high investment, but the storyline is not bad, with a slight comedy color. This kind of feature film with bright plot and witty language is very popular. Universal Films is indeed good at using small things to make big gains.

"I have a hunch that after this movie is released, you will definitely become a real movie star." Steele has confidence in Garbo, he is beautiful and has a good figure, and he works hard enough. , there is no reason not to be successful.

Garbo has acted in many movies before, but she never got an important role. This is the first time Garbo has appeared in a movie as a heroine. If she succeeds, Garbo will be promoted to a first-line movie star.

"With your good words, if I succeed, I will invest in your first movie." Garbo also has confidence in Steele, to make a good movie with a good script, good actors, and a good director Indispensable.

The two chatted casually and walked out of the shooting location. Jia Bao's boyfriend Cheng Qian was across the road.

"Goodbye Steele—" Garbo said goodbye to Steele, and jumped up to meet him.

Cheng Qian took out a rose and handed it to Jiabao like a magic trick, his mouth was as sweet as honey: "I give it to you, I wish you to be as beautiful as flowers forever."

"But no matter how delicate the rose is, it will wither tomorrow." Jiabao held back a smile and deliberately found fault.

"This one won't, look, it's from Bu—" Cheng Qian was serious and funny.

Jia Bao couldn't hold back his smile anymore, he laughed and jumped into Cheng Qian's arms.

Cheng Qian did not forget to say hello to Steele before starting the car, looking at Steele's lonely figure, Cheng Qian couldn't help suggesting: "You should introduce a girlfriend to Steele, so that Steele won't have to sleep alone. "

"Hehe, you still don't have to worry, let me tell you a secret, Steele is—" Garbo refrained from breaking the news.

"Really!" Cheng Qian almost stepped on the brakes.

"Of course, otherwise you think I'll get your turn again—" Garbo seemed to be casual, and the amount of information in these words was a bit heavy.

Back at Cheng Qian's apartment in the center of Los Angeles, he had nothing to say all night, and the next day Jiabao got up early to go to Star City by himself, another busy day.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Star City is still full of traffic. The proportion of beautiful girls in the breakfast shop is surprisingly high. Girls all over the world who aspire to become movie stars are in Star City. If there is an average appearance standard, Star City must be the highest in the world.

The studio where the crew of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" moved into a new crew. The actors coming and going were all wearing military uniforms. It seemed that they were filming a war film.

Like comedy feature films, war films are also the most popular genre in the market. These two types of films together account for more than half of the films shot in Star City every year.

During the World War II, there were also African-American soldiers in the Southern African Expeditionary Force. It is estimated that there are African-American soldiers in this movie. The director in charge of selection found a real African-American, which made the director very dissatisfied.

"Audience pays to go to the cinema, but it doesn't mean they want to see African performances. Except for zoos, no one is interested in African performances. Find a white or Chinese." There is obvious racial discrimination in the director's words , Garbo subconsciously slowed down.

"But this role is required to be of African descent." The assistant director was embarrassed.

"Then blacken the face and hands with ink—" The director is simple and rude, and it is better to paint less like it, which will have a more comic effect.

"Garbo, you're late, hurry up, the director is looking for you—" Steele frowned slightly when he saw Garbo walking over quickly, accidentally saw the strawberry on Garbo's neck.

Jia Bao shrank his neck, pulled the silk scarf again, his eyes were slightly guilty.

When I'm distracted, I really don't notice these things.

The director didn't come to Jiabao to talk about the show. The opening ceremony of the Friendship Games was held. There was a cultural performance at the opening ceremony. Jiabao was selected by the director team of the Friendship Games because of his beautiful appearance.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, you just need to hold the microphone and lip-sync, the amplifier will play the recorded sound track, you don't need to make any sound." The director's words are so straightforward that Garbo himself feels I'm a little embarrassed.

"Don't be embarrassed. In a stadium with 6 to [-] people, the audience can't see whether you are singing for real. You don't want to sing by yourself. If something goes wrong, we can't bear the responsibility." Bruce told Garbo I still understand, and I am worried that Jiabao will be resistant.

"She doesn't want to—" Steele sighed quietly, Garbo was good-looking, as if he had been kissed by an angel.

Garbo's voice is actually pretty good, but if she wants to sing, it's definitely not up to the level that she can perform at the opening ceremony of the Friendship Games.

To be able to sing at the opening ceremony of the Friendship Games, it is not good at all, it has to be a singer at the opera solo level.

Garbo glared at Steele's complaints.

"Then it's settled like this. We will send a car to pick you up before the rehearsal. There will be about three to four rehearsals. It shouldn't have too much impact on your shooting." The director of the opening ceremony is still very satisfied with Garbo's personal conditions. Anyway, there is no need to perform at the opening ceremony, Garbo just needs to be a qualified vase.

"It doesn't matter, even if it affects our filming, we still have the responsibility, everything is for Nyasaland!" Bruce cooperated unconditionally, "Everything is for Nyasaland" seems to be a line of a certain movie.

From the beginning to the end, Jiabao had no chance of refusing at all. From this day on, all walks of life in Los Angeles took action.
