Chapter 359 The Difficult Truman (Earth)
It rarely snows in Los Angeles.

Because of the typical Mediterranean climate, the city's annual temperature is around 9 degrees Celsius.

But this year's weather is weird. Before Christmas, the temperature dropped sharply below 0 degrees, and there was heavy snowfall in the city. There were a large number of flight delays at Los Angeles Airport. This situation did not only occur in one city, California, Ohio, Nevada and Arizona. Nearly 50 cities in the state experienced such catastrophic weather.

A large number of tourists were forced to stay at the airport. On the eve of Christmas when everyone was rushing home, various airports were severely tested. Sure enough, the passenger login systems of several major airlines "exploded" again like the one in early 2023. The US Airways system has collapsed yet again.

Truman and Ting Jun were among the stranded passengers. They wanted to transfer to London in New York to participate in the filming of the new season of "Sherlock", but the sudden snowstorm paralyzed the entire airport, and Truman and Ting Jun were stranded In the VIP room of the terminal building, looking at the white-flowered Los Angeles outside, there is nothing to do.

"It would be great if the snow could stop..." Ting Jun sighed.

She was afraid of delaying Truman's trip.

"It's not impossible to stop." Truman looked at the snow and listened to the disaster news broadcast on TV, and said to Ting Jun, "I have a way to make it stop."

"Stop joking, Teacher Trumen." Ting Jun shook his head, of course she didn't believe it.

"There is a way." Truman said seriously, like a child who told the truth but was not accepted, he argued: "CHIYU has a way to stop it, but it's not worth it."

"Why isn't it worth it?" Ting Jun wondered, "If the snow stops, we can fly to New York on time."

"Because if the snow stops, there will be greater disasters, such as hurricanes or even tsunamis, and the devil will have stronger power." Truman said.

"Ah... I don't quite understand, what is the principle." Ting Jun said.

"The principle..." Truman didn't know much about it, but he couldn't say that he didn't know, so he showed a more confident expression, "The principle is a very profound thing."

"How deep is it?"

"Extremely profound."

"How would you describe it?"

"It's very profound."

The two are bickering and joking here with an IQ that is less than one shoe size in total, but they are not lonely.

In New York, the two stayed for 4 days. This time was so long that when they arrived in London, the filming of "Sherlock" had already started, and the actors had already entered the state. It's time for Truman to get used to it, can we just start filming?

Of course Truman nodded, no problem.

Truman has always treated the script as carefully as he treats religious scriptures, and he has been able to memorize it backwards during his stay in New York for a week.

In the first episode of the new season of "Detective Sherlock", Truman plays a high-IQ criminal character named Sinperor (a name that combines the roots of Zhendan and Emperor).

Sinperor was born noble, with billions of dollars of wealth. He regards ordinary humans as pigs, dogs and poultry, and calls himself a high-level predator. However, unlike Hannibal, he does not eat people, but habitually regards human life as nothing.

Due to family inheritance, Sinperor has a unique ability. He can live a long life. It is not stated in the play how long Sinperor has lived, but it is pointed out in various clues that Sinperor has lived at least three hundred years old, but he is still full of vitality. Youth appearance.

Truman was too young, and the makeup artist specially made him look older. During the makeup test, Truman thought that the costume prepared for him was too vampire-like.

Truman said to Douglas: "Sinperor is not a vampire. To him, a vampire is an inferior creature. He should be more noble."

"And what do you think he should wear?" asked Douglas.

"He doesn't care about clothing, it's neat and natural, just a little oriental charm." Truman said.

So the costumer made a robe and vest for Truman.

Truman looked at the dress, then at the prop master, and said, "Change it again."

Next, the costumer took ten versions of the plan before getting Truman's nod of approval.

"That Chinese is too difficult to serve!" The prop master said in private.

soon.

The entire "Detective Sherlock" crew realized that Truman was "not easy to serve".

In addition to clothing, Truman was also dissatisfied with his own look, because the makeup artist wanted Truman to have a bald head.

Baldness equals evil?
Where did this perception come from?
It's not that Truman can't shave his head, but the image of a bald head has never played a positive role in China except for the monks of the Shaolin Temple.

So Truman asked the makeup artist where this image came from, and the makeup artist took out a photo of "Fu Manzhou".

Truman looked at him and said, "Come up with another plan."

The make-up artist was luckier than the costume artist. This GAY collapsed after only reaching the fifth version of the plan. In the end, the director decided that Truman should just be what he is now.

Ting Jun deeply agrees with this, and feels that these British people are messing around. Truman usually wears a suit and stands there, which is already good-looking. Retro with obvious discrimination against oriental culture.

Next, Truman was also dissatisfied with the shooting scene.

The current shooting location is an old castle.

There are also objections to the location of Truman. Douglas, like all Europeans, does not understand Chinese culture. In Chinese culture, things like castles are used to keep prisoners. Will there be people living in the bunker?
"CH, that's hard to change," Douglas explained to Truman. "We've already paid the rent, and it's expensive."

"You can withdraw." Truman suggested.

"We're not talking about rent, it's about the shooting cycle, and you're late, and we're tight," Douglas explained.

"It doesn't matter, although the contract is signed for two weeks, I can wait for you." Truman said very understandingly, "No overtime pay."

Adam negotiated the performance contract with Truman according to the standard of A coffee.

In "Detective Sherlock", the current actor who plays Sherlock, Juan Fu, is a Hollywood A coffee.

Curly Fu's "Sherlock" role has attracted countless fans all over the world, but he didn't get much salary. It was the role of "Doctor Strange" that made his salary soar from 250 million pounds to 750 million pounds (about 1000 million U.S. dollars). It can be seen that Starring in Marvel movies is a big opportunity for actors to pay for long films.

The salary that Juan Fu can get for filming "Detective Sherlock" is 100 million pounds per episode, and Truman is 75 pounds. Adam thinks that Douglas has picked up a bargain. According to the current global income of "Shang Qi 2", It has already exceeded 15 billion US dollars, and when it comes to salary, if it is lower than Juan Fu, Adam will be an ace agent in vain.

So in the contract for Truman, Truman has the right to make decisions about the character's styling, makeup, and some character images. The power is not great, but if Truman is not satisfied, the crew will not be able to continue filming.

In the contract, Truman's daily working hours are also stipulated. Once overtime, Truman can receive overtime pay. Just now, Truman was kind enough to exempt the money. After all, everyone is doing it for the movie~

Douglas left angrily.

Ting Jun said quietly: "I think he might be a little angry."

"Why?" Truman was a little surprised, "Because I don't like that old castle?"

"It must be..." Ting Jun certainly thought so, but Truman was so confident that the little girl began to wonder if there was something wrong with her cognition.
