Chapter 205 Bad jokes

Las Vegas, Caesar Palace Hotel and Casino, the crew of "mit-21-team" is filming the last shot. In the middle of two rows of slot machines, a group of casino security guards in suits and ties looked serious. The members of the mit team are all dressed in ordinary young people, and they all have a smile on their faces. Natalie's lips curled up slightly and said, "Then try gambling!"

She grabbed the rocker of the slot machine and pulled it down, and the "ding ding ding" scrolling sound suddenly sounded. The expressions of Alexis, Jay Baruchel, Daniel Wu and others gradually became a little surprised, as if she had seen something incredible.

"cut--!" Wang Yang, who was standing next to the camera, shouted, raised his thumbs and looked around, nodded and laughed, "Of course it's over, we're done!" The crew members immediately burst into cheers and applause. Vale Fist turned off the camera and clapped with his hands. With this gambling film, he has already watched 5 movies for Shenqiyang, with different styles, which is really crazy!

"The beginning and the end are a bunch of lines, a bunch of lines, which is really unforgettable!" Natalie came to Wang Yang, punched him in the chest, and smiled, "I remember I had a headache!" Wang Yang, who had just hugged Vale, gently hugged her, and then walked to the next one, thanked the starring actor, and the leading staff of the film crew clapped and smiled, "Guys, thank you very much for your efforts over the past month!"

He looked at the employees who were packing the equipment, and the smiling Natalie, Ali, Daniel Wu, Joshua... He had already finished filming his scene a few days ago, but Rachel, who came to visit the set today, held her thumbs with her dimples and smiled one by one, and the heavy atmosphere of war expectations was not immersed in the set.

"We took a quick photo shoot, daytime action, nighttime action, even weekend action, can sue me for abuse of employees!" Listening to his self-deprecating tone, everyone chuckled. Wang Yang spread his hands and looked at them and smiled, "But it's really not my fault, because someone is going to rush back to Boston to go to school and graduate in June. Although she said 'Don't worry, no problem.' But I don't want her to re-exercise."

Under the eyes of everyone, Natalie smiled faintly, like a traditional and stereotypical good girl. Wang Yang looked at her and said with a smile: "I can't graduate myself, and I can't drag others down! I'd be a Harvard student." Natalie continued to laugh: "Don't worry! I won't graduate from gambling, but you have already caused me to be called a Harvard traitor."

Similar to USB&UCL, Harvard and mit also have a long history of competition and grudges. mit students are like Jeff Ma. They can play anything with their thinking quickly, and students' pranks are also one of its labels. Even the principal has never escaped, let alone Harvard University, which is teased all day long. What makes people talk about most is that in 1982, Harvard and Yale played rugby games.

In the second half of the first half, Harvard scored a baseline attack, but at this time, a small black ball suddenly appeared flat near the 46-yard line of the court, and it became bigger and bigger, with the eye-catching "mit". When the black ball expanded until the diameter reached nearly 2 meters, it exploded with a bang, and the result was that the entire court was filled with thick smoke, which made Harvard University at home extremely embarrassed.

"Nata, who said you are a Harvard traitor? Just say I am actually an undercover agent. That movie will make everyone think that mit students are all helping gamblers." Wang Yang looked very serious, everyone smiled again, and Ma Kaiwen also smiled very honestly, without any cool taste. Natalie nodded: "Good idea." Wang Yang clapped his hands and smiled: "So that's it, thank you everyone!"

After everyone applauded again, the film assistant and the staff packed up their equipment and moved them away. Wang Yang and others also walked out of the casino with a chat and laugh.

Looking at Daniel Wu next to him, Wang Yang asked while walking, "How is it? Daniel, is there any difference between filming in Hong Kong?" Daniel Wu frowned and smiled, "It's quite slow here, but it's very fast in Hong Kong." Wang Yang laughed and said, "It's fast to shoot Hong Kong movies. It's said that he completed a movie in the craziest week, and it's not a DV. He smiled and said, "It's not slow anymore, my set's filming speed is famous for being fast."

Of course, this also requires him to pay enough salary. At the same time, the crew has already had a great understanding of cooperation and has done enough work during the preparation period.

"In Hong Kong, it is usually 9 hours a day; here is overtime." Daniel Wu said a precise data. The division of labor here is very clear and detailed, with many departments. The workload is light and the film is slow, and it is very rigorous and meticulous, which may also be related to the investment level. He has also seen the magical directorial skills, which really makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze and have a feeling that they burst out.

"Daniel, I think there will definitely be some cooperation if I have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Wang Yang said, waved his fists a few times and said with a smile: "Don't waste your kung fu, we will fight another next time!" Daniel Wu immediately covered his face exhausted and said: "You kill me now."

When we came outside the Caesar Hotel, except for the staff who needed to handle the drama, the starring actors said goodbye to each other and prepared to leave Las Vegas with their personal assistants and others, and return to Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco... Due to the expected war, the crew did not hold press conferences, celebration banquets and other matters after the filming, so as not to attract unnecessary trouble.

"Man, how are you?" Wang Yang saw Joshua looking at the white statue not far away, Alexis was laughing at Rachel and talking about something. Wang Yang pushed him, and Joshua hurriedly asked, "What? What?" Wang Yang shrugged and asked, "I'm asking you how you are? Ale. It's been a month, have you not yet asked her? You have to know that this is what you did in the past week."

"No! I said this time is different!" Joshua took a deep breath, but couldn't help but look anxious and said, "I can't be so frivolous! I know she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but I heard that Milo Ventimilia, the male lead in "Gilmo Girl", had an affair with her." Looking at his sluggish look, Wang Yang laughed and said, "You look like your first love, please! Ask her out for dinner."

Joshua grabbed his head in distress and still didn't dare to pluck up the courage. He now felt a little afraid of being rejected.

Looking at Alexis with a quiet smile over there, Wang Yang thought and said with a smile: "According to my observation this month, Ale is the kind of very quiet girl, who is more at home than your sister. Generally, she wants to pursue such a girl, either she is easy to deceive and is sweet and cool, but I think Ale is not, she is a knowledgeable person; or, don't play any tricks, she can see that she has feelings for you, and there is no, it's not. I can't say that, you are younger than her, will Catholic girls accept it?"

"It's just less than one year younger!" Joshua gritted his teeth and said anxiously: "What era is it now? This is a popular trend!" Wang Yang shook his head and sighed: "It seems that your sister has a great influence on your childhood!" Joshua frowned in disgust and said: "Get out, is she as cute as Ali?"

Wang Yang stared at him fiercely and said, "She is the best!" Joshua looked at Alexis who was hugging and saying goodbye to Rachel, and nodded, "Yes." Wang Yang smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "You can do it yourself! But I will give you a suggestion, and you can tell her a bad joke. If she smiles, she will probably be interested in you. The happier she smiles, the more she will be; if she doesn't laugh, smiles politely, and smiles without interest, then stop for the time being!"

"It seems like yes!" Joshua's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously, "I knew you were a master of chasing girls! What's the bad joke?"

"I think about it..." Wang Yang thought intently. It would be very bad but there were certain laughter. Otherwise, if you feel it any more, you would feel inexplicable. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "This is a candy, it is a candy. It walks around the Arctic, and then it feels so cold. Then it turns into crystal-sugar. "Joshua nodded and murmured, "crystal-sugar."

"If she smiles, remember to be confident! Don't hesitate at all." Wang Yang pretended to be affectionate, his eyes were filled with urgency, and he smiled and said, "So, Ali, how about we go out for dinner? I know there is a great restaurant that you must like." He smiled and pushed Joshua hard, saying, "Go, put away your first love look and give her more security!"

Joshua took a deep breath and walked towards Ali with heavy steps. Ali, who had just finished saying goodbye to Rachel, saw him and laughed. Joshua endured his intoxication and said, "Ali, tell you a joke, I just got it." Alixis nodded and said, "Okay." Joshua's heart suddenly raised and said, "There is a candy...and then it turned into rock candy."

"What, that's it?" Alixis glared slightly, then laughed softly, and said with a smile: "It's very interesting."

She smiled! Joshua was overjoyed, his heart was beating very fast, he tried to make himself look confident and mature, and he was a little breathless, and said with a smile: "By the way, Ali, how about we go out for dinner? I know there is a great restaurant, you must like it!" He agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed... He was so nervous that his heart ached.

Alexis whispered, looked at his face, and suddenly nodded and smiled, "Okay, when?"

Oh Jesus! Hearing her say yes, Joshua suddenly felt a huge joy that he wanted to cry, and said anxiously: "That's right! How about tomorrow? When are you free?" But Ali said: "Tomorrow is OK." Joshua finally couldn't help but grin, looked at her smiling face, and said: "Then I'll call you tomorrow, tonight! I'll call you tonight... or tomorrow?" Ali shook her head and smiled, "I don't know, my phone is not that busy."

"Well, let's talk about it tonight." After that, Joshua hurriedly turned around and walked, puffing his cheeks and let out a long sigh. Wow! He clenched his fists with excitement, and wanted to jump up and wave it all at once. Dating was the beginning of love! Joshua was about to rush towards Wang Yang excitedly, but saw him and Natalie laughing and saying something.

"I want to listen to jokes, the kind that happened when "Juno" was finished!" Natalie remembered the joke, covered her mouth and vomited, but she sighed in her heart. For her, this disgusting joke was like a mark. She collaborated with him on the second movie. Will there be a third one? When? She looked up slightly at the smiling face of this good brother, she said with great interest: "No disgusting, I don't want it if I am not perverted!"

Another joke? Wang Yang thought and frowned. He told him almost every day on the set. Although he was not a disgusting and perverted type, there was really not much inventory... He smiled and said, "I think about it, it's disgusting, there's! There's a candy that runs naked in the Arctic, and it feels so cold, and then it turns into rock candy."

"Rock Candy, puff!" Natalie laughed out loud, then she laughed, and she held back her smile and said, "Not enough! Running naked is not disgusting enough! It must not be this, right?"

Seeing her happy look, Wang Yang scratched her forehead. It was nothing, and her favor always existed. He nodded and smiled, "Yes, this is actually, listen, there is a guy trapped on an isolated island." Natalie couldn't help but interrupt and laughed, "Haha, it's a deserted island again, I like it!"

"It's not a desert island, there is plenty of food and water, and the weather is also very beautiful."

"One day, a rubber boat suddenly drifted to the coast. Yes, he saved a beautiful woman who was unconscious. It was very, very beautiful and hot." Wang Yang closed his eyes and looked at the aftertaste and sighed: "Like Natalie Portman, like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor... they were young." Natalie smiled and said, "He saved her, took care of her patiently and let her return to health. The woman was very grateful and said to him, 'Thank you! I really don't know how to repay you. I will do anything for you, just say anything!"

"Yeah!" Wang Yang patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "I wish you a smooth graduation." Natalie spread her hands and smiled: "I said you don't have to worry. There is only one situation where I can't graduate, that is, I wrote the joke just now into the paper." Wang Yang said with a smile: "It's better not to."

With the official completion of "mit-21-team", although there is no press conference for news, the news naturally spread. Even if the war is about to break out, the entertainment industry will not stop. Especially overseas Americans, especially movie fans in Greater China, have been paying attention to the latest developments since its start filming. What does this movie look like? No matter how magical the starring promotion is, how cool it is?

Now movie fans are looking forward to its first version of the trailer, which will unveil its first layer of mystery.

The post-production work of the movie was also started. In addition to the special effects required for some cameras, the editing work was also carried out simultaneously. As an editor, Wang Yang found Margaret Goodstead, which was the fourth time the two collaborated after "Singing and Dance Youth", "When Happiness Comes Knocks" and "Juno".

Wang Yang temporarily ignored the first cut version of the series that stringed the shots in the order of scripts. He was relieved to hand over the scissors to Margaret. The tacit understanding and experience made her understand very well what he wanted, and his storyboard script had a rough idea. He didn't stop and rest. In addition to running to the editing room of "Prison Break" and doing some production work; he also had to devote himself to the preparations for "The Demon Who Wears Prada" and strive to start the film as soon as possible.

A few days after the film was completed, as George Bush issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein expired, on March 20, 2003, Iraq time, the Allied forces officially announced the war and launched air strikes on strategic cities and ports such as Baghdad and Basra. After the war broke out, George Bush immediately delivered a national televised speech, announcing the beginning of the war, and once again emphasized that the war would be decided quickly, calculated in hours.

Then casualties appeared. Iraqi soldiers and civilians. On the 21st, a member of the US Marine Corps was shot dead. The first American soldier to be killed in this war. The news came back to the United States and naturally lamented. The anti-war factions protested more fiercely, and the pro-war factions also shouted, "We must unite at this moment!"

The outbreak of war has affected all aspects of the world, and the flame movie is naturally not in a vacuum. "Saw", which was originally scheduled to be released in early April, suddenly became out of place. Even if it promotes the preciousness of life, bloody horror is not the current market demand, so it was postponed to the release in November. Of course, whether to postpone it again depends on the situation at that time.

Global anti-war demonstrations continue to spread, and the current TV channels are broadcasting the scenes of war live throughout the day, with various retired generals and active generals coming out to discuss and analyze, and White House officials speak; the newspaper pages are also all about war, war, war, war and Oscars.
