China Entertainment Anchor

Zhang Yang looked at his assistant and knew that he was obeying him unconditionally.

Even if Zhang Yang now says that the earth is flat, his assistant will agree with it, at least on the surface.

After watching the talk show stage specially set up by Warner Bros.,

Zhang Yang came to the last stop of the day,

U.S. Army complex in Brooklyn, New York.

Zhang Yang actually found it a bit exciting, thinking that he, a Chinese, was filming here.

I still treat this place as a mental hospital. I wonder how many interpretation monsters will appear in the country in the future.

After the location scouting was over, Zhang Yang returned to the hotel and said to Warner's employees: "You can go back. By the way, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance."

The two employees thanked them and left.

At this time, Zhang Yang has become a hot search topic at home and abroad.

As expected in China, there are titles such as director Zhang Yang going to the United States to shoot a new movie, and Liu Yifei also appeared.

Photos of their embrace went viral.

Although the shooting distance is far away, as long as you see the maroon down jacket and the tall figure, it is most likely Liu Yifei.

Abroad, people have noticed since Kevin arrived in New York early.

Photos of him greeting Zhang Yang, and even Zhang Yang being scouted all the way, reporters were silently following him.

So that day, Zhang Yang received a call from Scarlett.

"Hey, Zhang Yang, do you want to come to my house to spend Christmas together?" Scarlett invited Zhang Yang enthusiastically.

"I'm quite busy during this period. You know, if I don't hurry up, I will spend the Spring Festival in the United States." Zhang Yang said helplessly.

"That's such a pity." Scarlett said regretfully.

"Then I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Thank you, I think I can celebrate your birthday. Your birthday is on December 27th, right!" Scarlett said again at this time.

Zhang Yang didn't expect Scarlett to still remember this, and it would be a bit unkind to disagree.

"Thank you very much, but I think you can come over on the afternoon of the 27th. After all, I was born on the th in China." Zhang Yang was so hypocritical.

"I think I can fly over on the morning of the 27th," Scarlett said playfully.

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Of course, it's best to arrive before twelve noon, otherwise my birthday will be over."

"No problem, I wish you a Merry Christmas too." Scarlett said and hung up the phone.

In the next two days, while Americans were celebrating Christmas, Zhang Yang and his staff became busy.

On the 26th, the filming of the movie "Joker" began quietly on Market Street in Newark, New Jersey.

"Phoenix, Merry Christmas, I didn't interrupt your Christmas vacation!" Zhang Yang said to Phoenix with a smile.

"I've known for a long time that I would be filming the movie at this time, but I didn't arrange any vacation." Phoenix said silently.

"Hey, you entered the state a little early!" Zhang Yang said with concern when he saw Phoenix's state.

"Yes, I came here with my luggage. From today on, I will also stay in the hotel. I think I will have my room."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but become serious when he saw Phoenix's attitude. So why should we work with good actors? Because some good qualities can also be contagious.

Filming soon began, starting with Phoenix's make-up.

At the same time, the old TV on the side was playing news, mentioning garbage and rats.

It's an innuendo, like the smell in Parasite, that appears throughout the film.

The beginning of the movie is a test of acting skills. Phoenix used a small brush to put on a clown costume, and suddenly tears burst from the corners of his eyes. He also had to look in the mirror and put his two index fingers into the corners of his mouth.

When you pull it upward, a smiling face comes out, but soon you have to pull it down again and a sad face comes out.

The smiling face is for everyone to see, but the crying face is what is inside him. The tears she shed at this time even stained her makeup.

The protagonist's dual personality is hinted at from the beginning of the film.

This action is also a classic action of the protagonist in the movie.

When it came to the first chase scene in the movie, Phoenix filmed it very smoothly because he had experienced it in "Extreme Escape".

Here I want to talk about a big difference between the filming of the movie "Joker" and "Parasite".

"Parasite" is dominated by short long shots, so the number of shots is relatively small.

The style of the movie "Joker" is completely opposite. The shots are very delicate, rich and flexible.

Today’s chase scene alone included more than ten shots.

In other words, Zhang Yang is a wall-hanger. Otherwise, a director who uses completely opposite shooting methods for making movies would be enough to scare a group of people to death.

After Phoenix finished filming a scene where he was beaten, his overall pressure was very low.

Zhang Yang looked at this scene and thought to himself, no wonder something happened to Heath Ledger after playing the role of the Joker.

Although Zhang Yang knew that Phoenix would have no problems in the end, he still had to make some preparations.

"Invite a psychological counselor to come over and talk to Phoenix once or twice a week." Zhang Yang told the assistant.

"Okay." The assistant responded and asked the person to do the work.

It would be better for him to hire a psychological counselor than to instruct someone from Warner Bros. to do it himself.

The next day, the 27th,

On the morning of Zhang Yang's 31st birthday, the crew was in New York City and shot some random shots.

Phoenix didn't even arrange any scenes. After all, someone came to celebrate Zhang Yang's birthday, so they couldn't be on the set! At that time, we still have to go to the hotel booked by the crew.

new work time

Gao Yuanyuan is posing on the roadside. The movie "Let's Get Married" is about to be released.

She came to the United States to shoot for magazines again to give herself a little more exposure. At about nine o'clock in the morning, Gao Yuanyuan's assistant came over.

When Gao Yuanyuan saw the assistant, she asked, "Have you found out?" "Director Zhang Yang has booked a hotel next to Warner Bros. Pictures. It should be there today!" the assistant whispered.

"How long does it take to get from here to there?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"about an hour."

"Did you get the cake?"

"Already in the car."

Gao Yuanyuan raised her hand and looked at the time. It was almost half past nine.

She asked her assistant to communicate with the filming team.

"Half-day leave, or one-day leave?" Gao Yuanyuan's assistant asked hesitantly.

Gao Yuanyuan looked at her assistant, what was she thinking?

"I happened to be in New York, so I went over to celebrate his birthday. How can there be so much to do? A few hours is enough." Gao Yuanyuan said angrily.

Her assistant felt that half a day off might not be enough. Liu Yifei only sent Zhang Yang to the airport this time, and she did not follow him to the United States.

If she were Zhang Yang, and a beautiful woman like Gao Yuanyuan came to celebrate his birthday, and she was still someone Zhang Yang had liked, would she still be a human unless something happened?

So the assistant directly asked Gao Yuanyuan for a day off. Then the group of them went straight to Zhang Yang.

United States, New York, Newark Liberty International Airport

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Scarlett got off the plane dusty.

She couldn't help complaining to her assistant: "Oh my god, I actually forgot that New York is three hours ahead of Los Angeles, so I started catching the plane at around five in the morning."

The assistant looked at this almost the most popular actress in the world and said helplessly: "Maybe most people won't pay attention! Director Zhang Yang is really weird."

"If he wasn't weird at all, how could he have made so many award-winning literary films." Scarlett defended Zhang Yang.

"How long does it take to get to Zhang Yang's hotel from here?" Scarlett asked again.

"About an hour."

"Fortunately, it's not past twelve o'clock, let's go quickly!" Scarlett laughed, and then urged the assistant.

On the other side, in the hotel under Zhang Yangbao, in the hotel opposite.

Liu Yifei was talking to her assistant. She and her assistant also arrived in New York last night.

In order to avoid trouble this time, she did not use a private plane. At this time, she was a little helpless about the stuff on the private plane, which was too ostentatious.

After she arrived last night, she stayed opposite the hotel where Zhang Yang lived, preparing to surprise Zhang Yang today.

Liu Yifei looked at the suitcases on the ground at this time. She felt that it would be easy to squeeze Zhang Yang dry today.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile, how charming, how charming.

Unfortunately, only her assistant saw it.

She told her assistant: "I'm going to exercise. Please pay attention to the situation in the hotel opposite. Zhang Yang is back early, please tell me."

The assistant nodded. She was convinced by Liu Yifei's self-discipline. She deserved to be so popular!

New York, Bedford Park Boulevard Station, where Zhang Yang shot this morning.

At almost eleven o'clock in the morning,

The assistant walked up to Zhang Yang with a strange expression and said, "Boss, Gao Yuanyuan is here to celebrate your birthday."

Zhang Yang looked up from behind the monitor and asked his assistant curiously: "Why did she come to New York?"

The assistant shook his head. Gao Yuanyuan was not someone they needed to pay attention to all the time. How could they know.

"Is Scarlett here?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"have not reach yet."

"She has no sense of time at all, and she said she would arrive before 12 o'clock." Zhang Yang complained.

"Boss, New York is three hours faster than Los Angeles." the assistant reminded.

"Is the time difference in the United States so big?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

“We used to go to Los Angeles and didn’t pay attention to this issue.

The United States has four time zones, and the time difference is quite large. "The assistant explained.

"So, why are we glad that Gao Yuanyuan is here? Otherwise, I would have slowed down today's shooting pace in vain." Zhang Yang said.

After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for the assistant's response: "Let's go back to the hotel."

The employees also happily went back to the hotel. They could get off work early without deducting their wages. Who wouldn't want that?

As soon as Zhang Yang and his large force returned to the hotel, they were spotted by Liu Yifei's assistant. After all, there were only a few hundred people in the group.

At the door of the hotel, Zhang Yang looked at Gao Yuanyuan in front of him.

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan is already 35 years old, but she feels more and more charming.

The current temperature in New York is -4-3℃.

Gao Yuanyuan wore a brown windbreaker with a white turtleneck underneath, which looked very intellectual.

"Why, you came to New York specifically to celebrate my birthday?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"You have such a beautiful idea. I was shooting for a magazine in New York. I didn't think that you were alone in a foreign country, so I came over to see you." Gao Yuanyuan said casually with a smile, and even flipped her hair.

At this moment, Zhang Yang felt that Gao Yuanyuan was not playing with her own hair, but was playing with Zhang Yang's heart.

However, Zhang Yang soon came to his senses. At this time, he desperately hoped that Scarlett could come over immediately.

Otherwise, he wouldn't know what would happen.

The assistants of Gao Yuanyuan and Zhang Yang also felt that something was wrong with today's development when they watched their conversation and their expressions.

Gao Yuanyuan's assistant thought to herself that she was indeed right to ask Gao Yuanyuan for a day off. With this attitude, one day might not be enough!

Zhang Yang's assistant felt that Zhang Yang was in danger. You should know that if Zhang Yang makes a mistake now, it will be a big mistake because he is already married.

Something happened, it was an affair within marriage. It seemed like a trivial matter, and based on Zhang Yang's current status, something really happened.

As long as Liu Yifei doesn't make trouble, it's easy to suppress it. But there was a crack in Zhang Yang's inner persistence.
