Chapter 123: Filming and Elections
Song Ya can indeed kick, anyway, he can kick, and he has already verified it.
In the first few scenes after entering the group, there is no need to kick the ball, but to shoot the daily training content of the athletes, such as taking Mira to practice running on the steps with the help of the stadium stand stairs.
"It's okay to raise your knees a little higher, like this, it's not difficult."
An actor who plays a teammate demonstrates the running posture to the two before the start of the film, he is a real football player, a college team, very professional.
"No problem."
It's hard to keep exercising, and there is a makeup artist by his side to apply some liquid similar to olive oil on his shirtless body, so as to simulate sweat and make muscle groups look better in the camera.
He clenched his hands into fists and learned from bodybuilders to squeeze out eight angular abdominal muscles, which attracted the female makeup artist to eat and laugh, "You are so strong APLUS, the female audience will love it to death." ”
"Hey ......"
Just grinning triumphantly, he suddenly remembered Harry's advice, "Hmm. Cool replied, "Where's Mira?" He asked.
"The director is talking about the play."
The make-up artist pointed to the end of the photographic slide that had been laid down under the stands, and Mira was standing in front of the old La, nodding like pounded garlic.
She is wearing this virtual middle school team jacket today, a red sweatshirt with the school name letter logo on the chest, whether in the plot or in the actual shooting, she has to 'dress as a man and a woman', so she will bind her chest and cover her gender characteristics with wide clothes.
Florida's sun was poisonous, and her sweat was already running down her sideburns, glistening in the sun.
This youth campus drama is a big heroine, and all the burden of performance is on her, or that sentence, it is also difficult for the eyebrow-squeezing craftsman-style acting skills to play to the height of the heroine of the original film of the Apocalypse, and most of the objects of Old Larry's drama are her.
R. Lee Elmi appears in the distance, and in these scenes he has to perform some of the emotional changes that have changed after the hard training of the two.
And my pressure is much less, except for a small amount of emotional scenes, the rest of the time is a cool and handsome facial paralysis, which is better than the male protagonist who danced my life.
Speaking of which, the white male protagonist of the original film of the football stunner is the same as the dance of my life, Song Ya likes it very much, and it is indeed not difficult to imitate the main way of playing.
"I don't know if that guy has starred in other movies for me?" He thought with some greed in his heart.
The whole crew was waiting for Mira, Song Ya ran up and down first, and after being confirmed by professional athletes as having no problem, he simply went over to listen.
"You have a crush on the male protagonist Duke, OK? So when APLUS doesn't notice you, for example, when he runs ahead of you, you occasionally have to show the kind of affection that a little girl has for the person she likes and sports idols, such as starry eyes on his back, you don't need me to teach you, right? ”
Larry Sr. said, "Of course, at the same time, you have to show the caution of being afraid of being caught dressing as a man, and the concentration of training. ”
"You'd better teach it, director."
Mira is never a hard-working actor, or a singer or model, and her talent is average, she can do anything and achieve something, but it is difficult to reach the top.
"APLUS, YOU TURN AROUND."
"Huh?"
Old Larry turned Song Ya's back to him and demonstrated in person, "So, huh? First make a look of fascination, staring at Song Ya's back muscles, and then ......
"Fear of being discovered!"
Old Larry immediately looked around again.
In the background of these scenes, some group performances are used, pretending to be athletes from other sports to train in the stadium, and he waits for a team of people to run around in a circle to get closer, "Continue to disguise!" Convergence of facial expressions, back to the look of serious training, "Got it?" ”
"Understood." Mira nodded.
"Voice." Old Larry reminded.
"Ahem......"
Mira cleared her throat and replied in a rough voice, "Understood! ”
"Okay, let's shoot first. All departments are ready! ”
Larry Sr. sent the two into place.
So that's it...... After running and the lights and radio were ready, Song Ya and Mira began to run up and down the steps, and the photographer sat on a special slide platform to control the camera.
NG is inevitable, at first Song Ya's running speed is not well controlled, or every time he runs under the stands, if he encounters the group performers who happen to be close by, he will be a little distracted.
Caused by the delusion of victimization, every unfamiliar face looks like a killer.
But after he adjusts and enters the state, it will be mainly Mira who eats NG, and old Larry will call her over to reprimand her, and never tire of talking.
'Half of the votes in Illinois have been counted, and it is no surprise that the current president will win the Illinois ......'
'Latest data ...... from California'
'Kansas ......'
At this time, Song Ya will hide in the shadows and be lazy, and by the way, use Old Mike's portable radio to listen to the vote count of the general election.
The incumbent president has a great advantage, and the vote counting information of the major TV stations shows that the election is one-sided, because the United States election is an indirect election of the Electoral College system, and among the more than 500 electoral votes, even FoxNews, which dislikes him the most, admits that he will get an overwhelming majority of more than 300 votes.
"Crushing, there's no drama at all this year."
Miss Sloan walked up behind him, "You can be prepared to call in advance to congratulate him and Deputy Commander Gore." ”
"Oh, what do you say, you can help me make it up."
Song Ya nodded, "Can I ask them to care about my safety?" ”
"No chance, unless it's a very important person, they don't usually answer this kind of call in person, let's call someone over there, probably somebody from the campaign office."
"Underwood should take it personally, but he doesn't think he's available, and the two parties are still very competitive in the House of Representatives election, and the gap between the two parties is expected to be in the single digits," Sloan said. ”
It is difficult to know the specific news of the election of the federal congressman in various places, and it is generally followed by the local media.
"Let's put an end to this damn farce!"
Song Ya was indignant, because of the election, the news of his assassination did not set off the expected turmoil in the media, "I'll see what excuse they will find in Underwood to delay!" ”
"Donovan's side needs to hurry." Sloan said.
"We're not going to talk about that." Song Ya stopped.
"Oh yes, Husband Michelle has been elected, Senator of the Illinois State Assembly." Sloane smiled instead.
"Wow."
Although he knew for a long time that his election was a certainty, after the dust settled, Song Ya still inevitably felt a little emotional, a thirty-five-year-old law school lecturer and political amateur, so successfully turned around and ascended to the top.
The senator of the state legislature is very good, and he can definitely be considered a figure in the political circles of the state, you must know that he only planned to run for the state representative with a much lower starting point at the beginning.
"Give me my phone."
Song Adam immediately called over to congratulate.
"Haha, thank you APLUS."
Michelle's husband laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "But I'm still looking forward to seeing you again at school, did you postpone the law school entrance exam?" ”
"yes, uh, you're not going to leave school?" Song Ya asked.
"No, I need this college lecturer income, and the state legislature senator can not take a part-time job."
It seems that he and Michelle did plan to do so before, "Will you come to the celebratory dinner at my campaign headquarters?" He asked.
"Forget it, my reputation now...... I won't bother you. ”
Kim politicians hook up in private, but it is necessary not to cause trouble to each other on the table, and their own troubles cannot be solved at the level of a senator in a state legislature, "Congratulations anyway." Song Ya said.
"Thank you again, we'll get together when you get back to Chicago, okay?" Husband Michelle is still enthusiastic.
"OK, no problem."
"When?"
"Uh...... I can't be sure. Song Ya glanced at Old Mike, "My security team doesn't recommend that I have any predictable trips. ”
"I understand, stay safe APLUS, all African American groups will be on your side." Michelle's husband said: "Milton Davis, the chairman of Southbank Bank, is by my side and he wants to talk to you. ”
"Okay."
As a very rare African-American banker, Milton Davis is another big beneficiary, but he is more concerned about the relocation of A+CN and A+ Records to a new location, and Southbank Bank is willing to provide financing.
A+CN and A+ Records are currently cash-rich, and it is estimated that Milton Davis also knows the roots, and Gordon and Linda, as African-American elites who also develop in Chicago, have frequent contact with each other, which is a surefire deal.
"I don't care about the specifics, you can talk to Gordon and Linda." Song Ya shirked.
"How are you and Gordon doing?" Milton Davis asked.
"It's okay between us, he runs his TV station...... I trust him. ”
It's a lot of trouble, and I don't need to move Gordon, at least not now.
“APLUS!”
"Okay! The staff came and called Mr. Davis, and I'll find time to talk later, I'm filming. Song Ya hung up the phone.
The first day of filming was not fast, but the intensity was not low, and when night fell, the 'ball training' finally began, and Song Ya taught Mira to dribble on the turf.
With the inside of the instep and then the outside of the instep, Song Ya is very flexible to demonstrate the change of direction with the ball.
This is also part of the plot, the two practiced late until the two practiced, indicating that they worked hard enough.
Mira was very cold all day, didn't like to take care of herself very much, and was not active between filming, so she stayed in her exclusive seat to rest, read the script, and let the assistant do the restoration.
Maybe it's because I stayed at Xue Linfen's last night.
"What's the matter with you!? I've been in the group for so long, and the action is still rustier than APLUS!? ”
After a day of filming, the old Larry became more and more angry.
Mira didn't respond, and silently chased the soccer ball that she kicked away.
Song Ya knew that she should also start to be emotional, "Why don't you stop here today?" Larry? "Decisively launch warm men and play big name skills.
"I'm fine."
She brought the ball back and kicked it to herself.
As soon as Song Ya put on a posture to stop the ball, she suddenly stretched out her long legs again, hooked the ball to the other side, and successfully passed.
"Hey...... Isn't that a good practice? ”
Song Ya grabbed it with a hippie smile, she protected the ball with her back, and arched people with her buttocks, and her movements were decent.
"It's really playing, isn't it?"
Song Ya was aroused to be competitive, and immediately tried to go around to the side, but unexpectedly, she was elbowed hard again, and the two moved more and more around the black and white football, their arms were entangled, and then they both lost their balance and fell on the lawn.
"You're like a boy, Mira." Song Ya looked up at the starry sky, panting and calming down, and sighed sincerely.
She covered her mouth and giggled.
"Forget it, let's shoot it today." Old Larry glanced at the whole crew who were silently watching the 'play', and reluctantly announced the end of filming.
