Chapter 139 "Downton Abbey" (seeking confirmation)
"Hahaha, Nadal was eliminated!"
"Federer is stable at the French Open this time."
The filming of the movie continues, and the French Open also continues.
The charm of competitive sports is always stimulating the explosion of male hormones. Unlike Federer, who stumbled through the fourth round, Nadal, known as the 'King of Clay', was actually eliminated!
A man named Soderling finally drove the four-time French Open champion back home.
An easy 3:1 not only stopped the opponent in the top 16, but also stopped the opponent's 31-game winning streak in French Open.
Listening to what the men were chatting not far away, Liu Qianqian and Emma Stone, who were resting on the 'Vasily' chair, looked at each other. They basically didn't care about the tennis event.
As for the "tie-breaking" and "preemption/preemption" that men talk about, they are even more confused.
“How come they talk so much about everything?”
"Who says it's not?"
"It's just like they are playing on the court."
"But everyone here in Paris is talking about the game." Liu Qianqian thought for a while , shrugged and said: "I don't know how many people I heard from today that Federer is going to win the Grand Slam."
"Maybe this is the fashion they say." After that, Emma Stone pouted.
Looking at the eyes of the group of men, she couldn't help but freeze a little because of the figure of a certain person, remembering something.
"What are you doing?" Liu Qianqian saw Emma Stone suddenly stopped talking, and turned her head to ask her.
Emma Stone turned her head after hearing this, "Liu, it seems that at the end of the month, it's Xiang's birthday. I'm thinking about what to give him. Have you prepared any surprises for him?"
< br>"Ready."
"Oh, yes." Emma Stone smiled slightly, "What does he usually like? Is it difficult for you to choose a gift for him?"
"No," Liu Qianqian blushed when she thought of the gifts she had prepared, "I just bought some."
"Just bought some?" Emma Stone blinked, her tone rising a little.
"Hey, you can just buy whatever you want anyway, that guy..." Liu Qianqian thought of the birthday gift Xiang Yang asked her for, and she suddenly felt shy, but she was fine wearing sunglasses under the scorching sun. Covering up the intense emotion, he said casually: "To be honest, I thought about it for a long time before deciding what to give him. It was Laura, Little John's wife who gave me the heads up."
< br>"It's quite difficult to give it away." Emma Stone sighed slightly.
Xiang has a girlfriend who is still his friend.
Some of the more sensitive things will definitely not be given away, but others...
Emma Stone thought for a while, and for a moment, she really didn't know what to give.
This man...is such a headache!
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and frowned.
I can't go to the museum and steal a painting for him...
She hasn't figured it out yet, the crew has already arranged the props for this scene. It was the second encounter between the male protagonist and the character played by Liu Qianqian in the park. They met unexpectedly at a bookstall selling second-hand books.
Both bought a book, "Wandering in Paris".
Originally Damien’s design was that the male protagonist was blamed for only hanging out at midnight every day because of an argument with his fiancée. When his fiancée was traveling with her friends, he came to the flea market to kill time and heard that he heard Cole Porter's records. But after listening to Xiang Yang's suggestion, he felt better.
The book "Wandering in Paris" tells too many interesting anecdotes about Paris, and can also better allow the interaction between the two characters.
In the end, the two of them met while walking on the Alexander III Bridge, each holding a book...
...
In front of the bookstall, Liu Qianqian turned her back and lowered her head, carefully selecting the books she wanted to buy.
In the monitor, she frowned slightly, her eyes swaying as her slender fingers slid over the names of each old book, until she stopped at the book "Wandering in Paris".
Hey, I haven’t had time to read the book Xiangyang gave me.
She was just thinking about it when her shoulder was lightly bumped by someone.
Annoyed, she was about to say something when she turned around and saw that it was Colin (the male protagonist).
"Hi, it's you."
"Hi, I remember you. Cole Porter's friend." She showed a surprised but sweet smile, and with a smile in her eyes, she said hello to Colin. Finally, he took a step back slightly and said.
"Linda is also my friend." Colin smiled naturally, glanced at the book that made the other person's finger rest, and said: "The book "Wandering in Paris" is very good, you Are you still learning about Paris? "
"Yes, Paris is so charming." Liu Qianqian smiled and took the book in her hand, stroking her hair that was blown by the breeze. Apart from music, it’s quite interesting to get to know this place from another angle, and I always feel that I can see more.”
“Indeed, you can see more from another angle.” Colin nodded in agreement. "By the way, call me Jill. If I have a chance, I want to buy two records from your store."
"My name is An," Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and agreed, shaking the book in her hand, "Then I'll go check out first."
"Oh, okay."...
"Card! Liu!" shouted "Card!". Behind the monitor not far away, Damien quickly took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "If you speak more naturally, the last sentence will be with you." It's the same as when I said hello for the first time. "Colin, you did a good job."
"I'm sorry, Colin," Liu Qianqian said in apology, and then took a deep breath. He thought about Damien's words in one breath.
Damien's shots are all long shots, which are the so-called one shot to the end.
This kind of continuous image will bring a more realistic experience to the audience. Its focus is not on the long time, but on the continuity of the content through scene changes and angle changes within a certain length of time. Explain clearly the variability.
So after this break, the whole set of shots has to be restarted.
Unless you get stuck on a really good node…
……
"Liu's acting skills have improved."
Standing far behind the monitor, Xiang Yang looked at the filming of Liu Qianqian and Colin with a curious expression. Hearing Emma Stone's words, he seemed to understand. 's nodded.
He felt it was quite natural. There was no progress.
"Haha, I forgot that you only know how to make clothes." Emma Stone saw the confusion on Xiang Yang's face, and after her laughter subsided, she said: "When the post-production of the film is completed, you can see As soon as the film was finished, I knew that Liu's performance this time was more natural than last time."
"Oh, that's right." Xiang Yang showed a surprised expression.
It turns out that it looks natural because of his acting skills... No wonder Little John is so fake every time he acts talkative. It turns out it's too artificial.
After chatting for a while, Xiangyang and Little John returned to Hermes.
As soon as they arrived at the women's clothing designer's office area, their colleagues were basically talking about Nadal's elimination.
Because the theme of the show in the second half of the year is closely related to ‘sports’, coupled with the attention of the ‘sports series’ and this event in France and even the world, it is impossible for everyone not to pay attention.
Many people even went to watch the women's tennis match.
For example...
"Le Maire went to watch the game again?"
Hearing that director Le Maire was not here, Xiang Yang was smacked.
Well, maybe this is a real fan, who can even stay in the "ahhhh" venue of the women's tennis...
"He's not the only one," the colleague explained: " And the designer assistant named Sarah, the one you recruited, went with you.”
"Oh, that's it." Upon hearing this, Xiang Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
It seems that Flamel and Sarah are destined to be a good story~
It seems that even if I change some of my trajectories, 'love' is destined to happen.
Are you and Liu Qianqian destined to have sparks?
Xiang Yang was startled by his idea. He quite liked the sparks between him and Liu Qianqian. But I want to maintain it...
Knowing what he should do, he chatted with his colleagues for a few words, then returned to his office, started reading "Downton Abbey" in his arms.
Many people are influenced by film and television dramas and think that "Downton Abbey" is a TV series, but in fact, it is a novel that was completed by British writer Jessica Fellowes in four years. She happens to be Julian Fellowes' niece.
Julian Fellowes, who was born in Egypt, is also a very influential screenwriter, director, actor and producer in the UK and even Hollywood. "Gosford Park," which he produced as a screenwriter and producer in 2001, won the 74th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
So "Downton Abbey" was successfully adapted to the screen, and eventually became famous all over the world, and was called the British version of "War and Peace". In addition to its high quality, it is also naturally far from the Don’t start a TV series to promote this novel.
There is no TV series, just through words, few people can intuitively picture the contents of the book in their minds.
It’s not impossible to do it if you want to.
Systematically understand all aspects of British history before and after World War I. For example, British feminism, humanism, and fashion trends at the time, as well as the medical, judicial, colonial issues, and various social contradictions encountered by the aristocratic tradition in the changes of the times, etc...
Understanding these is natural. You can understand the microcosm of the history of that era described in this book.
With film and television works, it is relatively simple.
This is also an important reason why more and more people learn about a country’s culture through film and television works, because it can better stimulate people’s thinking in a visual environment.
"Xiang, we have to summarize the characteristics of 33 characters in total, and then design corresponding fashions for them one by one. According to what we are both good at, I will leave the female role to you and the male role to me, how about that?"
< br>Little John, who was also holding a copy of "Downton Abbey", saw Xiang Yang reading attentively when he walked in, and suggested with a smile.
"I advise you to reorganize your words." Xiang Yang didn't even raise his head.
Little John...
Men's three-piece tweed suit needs design!
Are those men’s uniform boots and hats worth designing?
“Xiang, I really wasn’t lazy this time.” Little John said, coming to Xiang Yang’s side with an innocent look on his face, and said pitifully: “You don’t know how many damn Cockneys there were at that time. Being particular, let’s take the dress for dinner as an example. Not only do I have to design shirts and trousers for them, but I also have to pay attention to waistcoats, waistbands, damn black ties, pocket squares, and buttons. They are nothing like you. Just make the clothes more beautiful and match them with jewelry and headwear..."
When Little John said this, he glanced at Xiangyang secretly several times.
Xiang Yang, who was still reading calmly, suddenly realized something and raised his head: "We also need to do the jewelry design ourselves?"
"What else?"
