Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 698 Translation is difficult

It turns out you have this kind of PY transaction!

Ji Bang felt overwhelmed when he saw Lee Jung Jae holding his head.

But he can understand it.

For the film and television industry, good resources are never enough.

Even for an actor of Lee Jung-jae's level, he still has to fight for good scripts and roles.

but……

Zhou Mo patted Li Zhengzai on the shoulder.

“Jung Jae, have you forgotten how you got this role?”

Zhou Mo's words suddenly stopped Li Zhengzai's wailing.

He looked at Zhou Mo's slightly teasing eyes, pursed his lips, and suddenly seemed to have figured it out. He stood up and spoke frankly.

"Well, before I came here, Shi Ling specifically told me to act well in this play. She also asked me to thank Director Zhou for giving me this opportunity."

Lin Shiling.

Lee Jung-jae's current girlfriend.

The princess of Kimchi Elephant Group.

The first lady of Kimchi.

as well as.

The ex-wife of Lee Jae-yong, the head of the sour star family.

Lim Se-ryung and Lee Jae-yong got married at the end of the last century. Their marriage was a chaebol marriage, and marriage meant an alliance between the two chaebols.

Later, during the global economic crisis in 08, the Elephant Group behind Lim Se-ryung encountered operational difficulties. Lim Se-ryung hoped that Lee Jae-yong could help the Elephant Group overcome the crisis, but Lee Jae-yong did not agree. Instead, he wanted to acquire the Elephant Group and add food business to his own business empire.

So, in 09, Lim Se-ryung filed for divorce from Lee Jae-yong.

Later, Lim Se-ryung met Lee Jung-jae, and their relationship continued to heat up until 15, when Lee Jung-jae acknowledged their relationship.

When Zhou Mo first proposed the plan of "Across the Blue House", he was able to think of Lee Jung-jae first because of this relationship.

A few days before Zhou Mo left Paochi last time, he met quite a few people.

Among them is Lin Shiling.

It was Lee Boo-jin who took the lead in arranging the meeting between the two.

After the meeting, Lee Boo-jin briefly told Lin Shiling about her goals and her cooperation with Zhou Mo.

After hearing this, Lin Shiling immediately said something.

"Director Zhou, our company would like to invest part of the money in the filming of the movie 'The Blue House'. If you have any requests, please let us know. As long as we can, our company will give you all the support."

For Lim Se-ryung, the conflict between her and Lee Jae-yong is almost irreconcilable.

Now, she had the chance to watch a big show, which she was eager for.

Then, the project of "Zong Wa Dae" was established and the cast was selected.

"Then take good photos and try to put yourself in the best condition possible so as not to disappoint the beauty." Zhou Mo smiled.

Lee Jung-jae nodded.

……

half a month later.

End of January.

"The Blue House" has entered the official shooting for more than ten days.

The filming of the movie went quite smoothly.

Zhou Mo discovered that many of the difficulties that he had previously anticipated, including issues with acting, culture, and habits, basically did not exist due to the high level of acting skills of Lee Jung-jae and Jeon Do-yeon, and the full support of Everland and Elephant Group.

The most trouble encountered during the filming was actually translation issues.

"Fuck, why is this part so awkward?"

"Siba..."

“No need to translate this sentence!”

"..."

Zhou Mo looked at the translator beside him, feeling helpless.

"You did it on purpose, right?"

The translator felt a little aggrieved: "Didn't you say that everything should be translated?"

Zhou Mo: ...

In order to film "The Blue House" well, he brought eight translators at one time and was responsible for the operation of the entire crew.

This time the lineup is larger than any previous one, in order to save trouble in communication.

There is no other way. For English translation, he can often do it himself.

But he basically never said anything about Kimchi, the situation is much different.

In the past, with the help of translation, there were basically no problems in transmitting information during filming.

But yesterday, the translator who had been with Zhou Mo fell ill.

So we replaced it with a translator.

The new translator had never worked with Zhou Mo before, and often couldn't keep up with Zhou Mo's thinking at all.

Just when Zhou Mo was thinking about whether to spend more money and hire a simultaneous interpreter, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Zhou Mo looked at the caller ID.

Bright eyes.

When you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow!
"Hello, Yoona, why are you calling me?"

"Director Zhou, we have finished filming this episode of "Extreme Challenge". Let me report to you on the situation." said Lin Yuna.

As a local, she naturally needs help in the kimchi special of "Extreme Challenge".

Has the show finished filming?
That's even better!
Zhou Mo immediately said: "Then Yuner, are you okay now?"

Lin Yuner understood what Zhou Mo meant and immediately said:

"Yes, Director Zhou, is there anything I can do for you?"

The boss has a request, so she has to be okay even if she has something to worry about. "Help me, Yuner, I need an interpreter urgently, otherwise the filming of the movie won't go on!"

When Lin Yoona heard this, she immediately agreed.

"Then I'll go over now!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuner said to her companion:

"Director Zhou encountered a problem with the filming, so I have to go over to help. I'm really sorry, everyone. I had planned to go shopping with you all today."

When the team members around heard this, they all said it didn't matter.

They are all people from the entertainment industry, so it is normal for them to receive sudden tasks.

Someone suddenly asked, "Yun'er, is the Director Zhou you mentioned your boss, the famous director?"

"Yes." Lin Yuner nodded, thought for a moment, and apologized to the team members: "I'm really sorry about the situation today. How about this, I will pay for everyone's expenses in the hotel today, just put it on my account."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked on the spot.

All inclusive?!

Don't blame them for this reaction.

The truth is that they spent quite a lot in the hotel today.

Especially the hotel's beauty treatments, the prices are so high that even idols like them who have been famous for a long time would feel the pain.

After a long while, the young captain smiled and said:

"It seems that Yoona has really become a wealthy woman. She is very generous when she opens her mouth."

Lin Yuner waved her hands and explained: "Not really, it's mainly because my company has these medical beauty projects as a benefit, and they give out free usage every once in a while, so it didn't cost much."

As one of the only two contracted actors of Sanhe Company, Yoona was given a card by the company with many benefits.

Among them is Shanhe Company’s medical beauty project.

In addition, on weekdays, Da Tiantian would take her for maintenance every now and then, so she didn't need to swipe the card at all, so this card accumulated a lot of free times over time.

Lin Yuna's words made the others look at each other.

After a few seconds, one of them stepped forward.

"Yun'er, I heard that your company has been trying to cooperate with us to allow us to develop in China. In your opinion, do you think we have a chance?"

"Of course you can. Our company has a great demand for artists. As long as your Chinese is good enough, you can come. I can recommend you." Lin Yoona said immediately.

Under the guidance of Zhou Mo and Da Tiantian, she has now learned to seize every opportunity to attract more people to join.

"What if I join your company and sign a contract with Shanhe Company like you? I wonder if it will work?" someone else asked
Lin Yuna shook her head.

"This is beyond my ability, but I can ask for you."

The man was slightly disappointed for a moment, then immediately expressed his gratitude to Yoona.

"Yun'er, please ask Director Zhou for me."

Lin Yuna smiled and didn't explain too much.

In fact, the person she wanted to ask was not Director Zhou, but Sister Tiantian.

Ever since she entered Shanhe Company a few years ago, she knew that Director Zhou himself was not very keen on recruiting people to Shanhe Company, and the contracts between him and the actors were more about cooperation + investment.

Doing so can isolate the risks to a certain extent.

The person who actually arranged for her to join the company and signed the contract was Sister Tiantian.

Therefore, if you want to ask questions, you still have to go to Sister Tiantian.

That afternoon.

When Yoona Lin arrived at the set of "The Blue House", Zhou Mo had already arranged for an assistant to pick her up, and they went straight to the filming site as soon as they got out of the car.

During the trip, Lin Yuner asked, "I remember Director Zhou called a lot of translators this time? Why do you say there are not enough translators?"

The assistant sighed, "Don't mention it. The teacher who taught you Chinese is sick, and the new technology doesn't work very well."

“Isn’t his translation good enough?”

"That's not the case. It's mainly because he's not familiar enough with Director Zhou." The assistant explained, "Director Zhou complained to me at noon, saying that the new translator couldn't tell whether he was just complaining or really giving orders, which made him very uncomfortable."

Lin Yuna couldn't help but want to laugh.

She could probably guess what was going on.

Director Zhou’s teaching style is very personal.

It is often mixed with complaints, metaphors, jokes, and requests.

It sounds complicated, but for people who have been native Chinese speakers for many years, it is not difficult.

You know what's going on as soon as you hear it.

To give a simple example, Director Zhou said this when expressing the intense conflict between the two characters:
"Why are you talking to him about the revenge for his father's murder and his wife's theft? Just kill him and it'll be over. Do you understand?"

In this way, Chinese actors can understand it and know its meaning immediately.

However, relying on translation can easily lead to misunderstandings.

The two of them came all the way to the shooting site.

At this moment, Zhou Mo was concentrating on writing something.

Lin Yuna hurried over.

"Director Zhou, I'm sorry I'm late."

"Hey, Yuner, you're finally here. I'm sorry to bother you to come and work for me during your holidays."

"I just stayed at home during the holidays, and it was nice to film a movie with Director Zhou."

Zhou Mo nodded slightly.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to be my translator for a while, and I'll give you a red envelope later."

After saying that, he waved to Lee Jung-jae and Jeon Do-yeon in the distance.

"You must know these two. I don't need to introduce them in detail."
