Although they have different preferences in listening to music, after chatting for a while, Will Smith has changed his mind a lot about Dong. This person does not seem to be as fake as he imagined.

"They are much better than me. I can't sing at all."

"Haha, if it's a folk song, it doesn't matter if it sounds ugly... Of course, I'm not slandering folk songs. This kind of music has other charms."

Maybe he thought there was something wrong with what he said, but Will Smith added something later.

Yu Dong smiled and drank the coffee in one breath. Cheng Yanqiu happened to be walking this way, so he said goodbye to Will Smith: "Goodbye, Mr. Smith, have a good time filming, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future."

"Goodbye." Will Smith waved to Yu Dong, but he didn't take it to heart about what Yu Dong said about cooperation.

His current idea is to film "Men in Black" well, sing the theme song well, and then go back to making music steadily.

As for filming, I probably don’t have much chance.

…

Cheng Yanqiu looked at the smiling Will Smith and asked curiously: "What did you tell him? He didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about you before."

"Nothing, I just talked about music with him."

"Talk about music, you guys? He seems to be a rapper. You don't listen to this kind of music."

Yu Dong laughed and said: "Who said that when talking about music with a rapper, you have to talk about rap? Can't we talk about classical music?"

"That's even more impossible. You can count the amount of classical music you know on one hand."

"Nonsense, Moonlight, Pathetique, To Alice, A Girl's Prayer, Bell, La San, that's six. Come on, let me see which hand of yours has six fingers?"

…

The night scene at night was very exciting. It was the beginning of the movie, when Agent K went to solve the alien smuggling issue.

There were many specially made props at the scene, which made the students of Jinyi exclaim that it was magical.

It has to be said that Hollywood's film craftsmanship is much better than domestic ones, especially in the area of ​​props and special effects.

Leaving aside the post-production special effects, they couldn’t feel it on set.

Props can really dazzle them.

Some props, I feel, don’t need to be processed in the post-production process, they just go into the camera.

After Yu Dong has been baptized by special effects for decades, today's special effects are certainly nothing to him. However, he has relatively little contact with these behind-the-scenes work.

These special effects cannot be created by just hanging a green screen and attaching a picture.

Most of them are traditional props and makeup combined with post-production. They look very complicated, but they are also very interesting. Some of the makeup and props are very clever and make people smile knowingly.

This scene was filmed very late, and it was almost dawn when Yu Dong and others returned to the hotel.

But Yu Dong couldn't sleep in because he had made an appointment with Spielberg to discuss the script of "The Martian".

After getting up to have a meal in the morning, Yu Dong rushed to the deep sky alone.

Spielberg was earlier than Yu Dong. When Yu Dong arrived, he was already sitting in Jimmy's office drinking tea.

Seeing Yu Dong, Spielberg smiled and said: "After drinking Chinese green tea several times, I have become somewhat accustomed to the taste. It is refreshing and has a refreshing taste."

Looking at Spielberg's energetic appearance, Yu Dong was secretly amazed. This guy is already fifty years old. It's really amazing that he is still so energetic after staying up all night.

When he arrived at Jimmy's place, Yu Dong was not polite. After making himself a cup of tea, he sat down opposite Spielberg and said, "Steven, if you like tea, I will get you something better than this next time."

tea."

"Forget it, if I want to drink, I can come to Jimmy's. At least I don't have to boil the water myself." Spielberg smiled, as if boiling water was a very difficult thing for him, and took a sip.

Talking about tea, he continued: "Actually, there is no need to rush the script of "The Martian" because according to the current situation, the plan will not be launched until at least the beginning of next year, and we will have enough time to write the script in the meantime."

Yu Dong rubbed his eyes and smiled: "Since you are not in a hurry, you can actually wait until I finish writing the script for you. You know, I write scripts very quickly."

"Of course I know, but the background of "The Martian" must be changed, so I just want to talk to you first to see if there is anything I can do to help you."

Yu Dong knew that Spielberg was still worried that he would not be able to write "The Martian" well after changing its setting to the United States.

This concern is understandable.

From a market perspective, the novel "The Martian" is successful and can attract readers.

But novels are different from movies after all, and there are many elements of Chinese culture in "The Martian". If they are scattered in a novel as long as the novel, the feeling may not be too obvious, but they have to be squeezed into one movie.

In a short movie, it might not be appropriate.

The advantage of this novel is that it is lighthearted, humorous and fast-paced. Spielberg hopes that this advantage can be maintained after the movie is made.

Yu Dong can bring humor to readers in novels, but can it also work in movies?

"I want to keep certain Chinese elements in this movie." Yu Dong first expressed his attitude.

"Of course there is no problem." Spielberg laughed, and then added, "But you still need to pay attention to the method. As a commercial film, stimulating the audience's emotions is a rigid standard."

"Don't worry, it won't be too much. It will definitely be less than in the novel."

Yu Dong scratched his hair and found some white paper in Jimmy's office.

"Steven, let me tell you a little bit about the script."

Spielberg nodded and sat over.

"First of all, the background of the character. The protagonist is a NASA staff member..."

Yu Dong explained the script to Spielberg while drawing on the paper.

In fact, the overall story is no different from the novel. After all, the novel also combines the original work and the movie.

Yu Dong made some changes to some details in the novel, trying to be closer to the United States, but retained some classic passages in the novel, such as the section where the protagonist writes poetry.

Spielberg has no objection to this either.

Although the poem's meme is not American, it is indeed quite interesting. The Chinese literature series is relatively famous, and these well-known memes are also widely spread among readers, so there will be no lack of audience base.

In addition, in the script, when the male protagonist was rescued from Earth, it was also mentioned that the China Space Administration was helpful.

It doesn’t matter. Anyway, the main credit goes to the United States.

In fact, the original movie "The Martian" also had Chinese scenes, although it was relatively subtle, but upon closer inspection, China's contribution is still quite large. Later, this design may be to please the Chinese audience, but Yu Dong moved it forward.

What surprised Spielberg was that Yu Dong's changes to some of the humorous points were just right, making him laugh out loud in no time.

When Yu Dong talked about it later, Spielberg couldn't help but said, "YU, you know a lot about American laughter."

"After all, I often read Mark Twain." Yu Dong answered ambiguously.

This answer was not an answer, but Spielberg quickly accepted it, "It seems that even after a hundred years, humor remains unchanged."

"Of course, the core of humor is eternal. If you learn more about Chinese history, you will find that people thousands of years ago understood what humor is better than we do."

Spielberg smiled and said, "The Chinese government should invite you to be a cultural ambassador, because you can always promote Chinese culture anytime and anywhere. Just because of your words, I became interested in the Chinese history you mentioned.

interest."

"I will give you a Chinese history book later."

"That must be the English version."

"Perhaps, you can also learn Chinese. Chinese is the simplest language in the world."
