MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 792 Mene shocked the crowd

Chapter 792 Mene shocked the audience

 In the next few days of filming, Clara felt a lot more confident inexplicably. She may have felt that she had a root in Los Angeles and didn't have to worry about going back and signing a slave treaty.

 After the filming of the four-person song and dance scene of the heroine's best friend group was completed, Mene came on stage with his black band.

  The male protagonist played by Martin, after a phone call between the heroine and her mother, accepted the invitation of Mene, the lead singer, to join his band and serve as the keyboardist.

  In the set that was set up as a recording studio, the band went to record songs together. Mene, the lead singer, occupied the C position. Martin, as the leading actor, naturally stood next to him, and the other members were all in the blurred background.

 At the time of filming, compared to several other professional performers, Martin could barely keep up with the rhythm, and there was no problem just looking at the playing scene.

 As for the music, it can be replaced during post-production.

 After filming three scenes, Mene drank water to moisten his throat and cleared his throat a little when he came back.

 Martin moved his wrist and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Of course I'm ready." Mene winked at Martin and whispered: "In order to play this role well and shoot several singing scenes, I went to Las Vegas to find Celine Dion. Celine gave me a month of intensive study and training.”

 Martin raised his thumb at him: "Awesome."

"You said there has been progress in all aspects?" Bruce asked curiously: "What about other aspects? What other aspects?"

“Stop!” Damien shouted to stop filming and gestured to Mene: “Well done, keep up the good work!”

 Martin and Mene returned to the rest area.

Marcus agreed: "That's right!"

He knew that these bad friends were waiting to see a joke, so he said: "Boss, you will soon find out that I have professional level skills!"

　　Including Martin, everyone looked at Uncle Mene with undisguised admiration.

　　A man who can act like Uncle Mene is really a super winner.

 The crew finished filming this part of the scene for more than an hour and entered the break.

 He shouted to the rest of the crew: "Hurry up and get ready, the next scene will be shot in two minutes."

Chen Hu doesn’t know much about black music, so he said intuitively: “I think your raps are much better than many black people’s raps.”

 As the score was recorded, filming began.

Chad and the other two people suddenly realized that it was not surprising to think that there was a North American pop diva on Mene's lips.

Although it is far from stunning, it is more than one level better than when Martin and Saoirse Ronan filmed their singing.

Martin asked Mene doubtfully: "Remember the last time I heard you sing, you were not at this level yet. How can Celine Dion be so good after more than a month of special training?"

Chad acted as his temporary assistant, handed over a bottle of water, and said: "Man, you are in the wrong industry. You should be a singer."

Meine sang a modern jazz song.

"I stayed with Celine in Las Vegas for a month, and I made great progress in all aspects." Mene cleared her throat and said, "As for singing, you heard that Celine thinks I can release an album, and she is going to sponsor it. I’ll release a music album.”

The band played normally, and Martin continued to play the musical keyboard to the beat.

Meine looked towards the rest area. Chad, Marcus, Chen Hu and others who came to visit the team were pointing here.

When he opens his mouth, he has a professional level, full of breath, expressive singing, and a firm grasp of the rhythm and beat.

 This guy Mene actually showed a subtle smile.

 This is not in line with his usual style.

 Chad punched Mene: "Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise..."

“Drag you to the shooting range of the Angel Club!” A sinister smile appeared on Marcus’ fat face: “You will be shot for ten minutes!”

Faced with the threat of these envious and jealous guys, Mene could only dig into his pockets and said with some showoff: "It is my best ability that has improved by leaps and bounds again, so Celine is willing to help me release a music album."

If you just release an album for self-appreciation, let alone Mene, who has gradually become a prime supporting role, even Marcus and Chen Hu have such financial resources.

 But it is not easy for music companies to push into sales channels.

 Celine Dion has channels and resources in this area that no one else present has.

 Martin was also very curious: "Stop being so nagging, explain it quickly!"

"This... is hard to describe." Mene scratched his head with one hand and took out a ball of red thread from his pocket with the other hand.

The red thread was as thick as the yarn of a handmade sweater and stretched three feet long.

Meine coughed twice and moved his cheeks: "Let me give you a visual demonstration."

 Martin made a gesture of invitation.

 Chad and Bruce were all waiting for Mene's performance.

The movement here attracted many people from the crew to look over. Even the director Damien stood on the edge of the set to see what unique skills Mene could do.

Meine picked up the red thread and bit down on the middle part. His cheeks swayed rapidly, as if his tongue was dangling in his mouth.

He pulled his hand out, and there was a knot on the red thread!

Including Martin and Bruce, everyone who ate the melon was amazed.

 This is not over yet!

Meine grabbed the thread on one side and pulled it out. The red thread on the other side was pulled into his mouth. His cheeks moved quickly as if an electric motor had been turned on. The red thread he pulled out was connected to one another, as neatly and orderly as the links of a chain.

 This speed is much faster than ordinary people tying knots by hand!

 As if this is not a mouth, but the entrance and exit of an electric knotting machine.

Martin muttered: "This is too exaggerated! As expected of Mene! Not to mention Celine Dion, even if Madonna comes, she will surrender."

Bruce's eyes widened, thinking that if he had this ability, he could easily handle it even if he added Kendall and Kylie, let alone Kim and Khloe.

Chad, Chen Hu and Marcus no longer knew what to say.

 Only Marcus muttered: "This guy is really a genius! A super genius!"

 On the side of the studio near the director's team, Damien rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dizzy due to overwork. What he saw were all facts and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Some things that he didn't quite understand before suddenly became clear to him. No wonder many people on the crew said that Mene is the real winner in life.

 With such an outstanding skill, it is difficult not to become a winner in life!

 At this moment, the studio was quiet.

 Uncle Mene shocked the audience!

 What is technology? This is called technology!

"I'm convinced!" Chad picked up Mene's knotted red thread and looked at it carefully, and praised: "Man, you really eat based on your true ability!"

 Chen Hu and Marcus nodded repeatedly beside them.

Bruce simply went over and patted Mene on the shoulder: "We have known each other for eight years, right? You actually hid your secret trick and refused to tell me! The old man must teach me. I don't need to be as powerful as you, just a third of it will be fine. "

Meine smiled proudly: "Easy to say, easy to say!"

Bruce couldn't help but think about it. At the same time, the bottom, left and right hands, plus Mene's unique skills...

 Martin also heard what Bruce said, and suddenly thought of one thing: How many Kardashian sisters are there in total?

 Not only Bruce, but also Chad, Chen Hu and Marcus are also humbly seeking advice from Mene.

 After a while, several young people from the crew also came over.

 They have good looks and hold positions such as assistant director, photography assistant or art assistant, so it is easy for them to get in touch with star-level actors.

 If you really want to get one, your life might just take off.

Moreover, these positions that look like assistants are also positions where it is easier to establish relationships with female stars in Hollywood.

Like Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba, and Kelly Knightley, etc., there are often similar things among the boyfriends they have dated.

After this day, Menei's reputation on the crew rose sharply, and many studious people gathered around Mr. Menei after filming.

 Not just men, but also many women.

 The upward path in Hollywood is much wider for men than for women.

 But if women can master a skill to the extreme, they will undoubtedly have many more opportunities.

However, this technology requires talent.

 Catherine Daddario couldn't learn it no matter what, but Clara watched Mene perform it twice and asked about the techniques. After a night of hard practice, she gradually mastered it.

 Clara soon gave Martin a separate reporting performance.

 Martin is very satisfied and believes that with Clara’s ability, she will definitely have a future in the industry.

 So, after Clara completed her role in "La La Land", Martin recommended her to the crew of "John Wick 3" and participated in an audition for a female role.

 In this sequel, there are two main female characters.

 Blake Lively passed the audition and got the role of a dog lover.

 Clara auditioned for the role of Judge representing the High Table.

Chad quickly contacted Martin, approved of Clara's audition, and made a suggestion to slightly adjust the role based on the actress's particularly good figure. The judge's daily attire would be adjusted into a tight black leather suit.

 Martin is fine with that.

 The crew of "La La Land" left Disney Studios and began filming on location in Los Angeles.

 Among them, there are 48 locations including Griffith Observatory and Angel Cableway.

 The most troublesome thing is the opening song and dance scene on the elevated road.

This scene not only required road closures for filming, but also involved hundreds of singers and dancers.

 Since May this year, Mandy Moore and Damien have rented the open-air area of ​​Disney Studios and conducted a large number of rehearsals.

The filming of the scenes at Griffith Observatory was also very troublesome. The outdoor area only rented for US$10,000 per day, which did not affect the normal visit of tourists, and no one was allowed to enter the interior for filming.

The crew could only set up scenes in the studio to shoot scenes inside the observatory.

 The filming entered December, and when the heroine was mainly being filmed, Martin temporarily left the crew to deal with matters related to "Escape from Tehran".

 After seven weeks of screening, the film's North American box office has accumulated a total of 178 million U.S. dollars, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 200 million U.S. dollars.

At the same time, the film's reputation has always been very good, which is also the basis for the crew's series of operations during the awards season.
