GGL Broad Gauge Proving Ground of the Greater Deutsche Locomotive Manufacturers Association, the set of "National Glory: The Great Battle".
Actors' carriage station.
Along the criss-crossing ballastless wide track, the actor's carriage is converted from an eight-axle double-decker carriage with a length of 42 meters, a width of 6 meters and a height of 7 meters. Actors from all over the world live in it. Use simple tools such as ropes and wires to transform them into fully functional, convenient and comfortable dormitories. The "Broad Gauge Prototype" was originally designed and built for intercontinental travel after the Third Reich ruled the world. Even the most advanced electrical equipment such as backup starter motors, auxiliary generators, light generators and batteries have been installed. Even if the external power grid is cut off, normal power consumption can be guaranteed.
"It's a pity that we can't take everyone." Anna Moffett, the second casting assistant who secretly selects qualified plot characters from the established actresses to expand the sister group, subconsciously raised the Air Force customized version of Leica IIIc "SMD camera".
I thought that the target character could be given the blessing of "time and space caching" technology in advance, and the "Character Patch", which could successfully activate the law of inverse causality and reset the personal exclusive branch plot line of "washing entries" with one click, was already carried when it arrived. enough. But when I was actually shooting, I gradually got the feeling that "the book will be used only when it is used, and the regret will be less".
"We really can't take everyone." Carol Baker, the female military doctor who accompanied her, couldn't help but sigh.
"Besides "vehicle patches" and "character patches", are there any other categories for "space-time patches"? "Second Casting Assistant Anna Moffitt asked casually.
"Who knows?" Female military doctor Carol Baker shrugged.
At this time, the sister group already knew that the plot was also sealed and fixed:
Throwing out the "vehicle patch", the source energy clone that has not completed the registration of the symbiotic personality immediately achieves "staged step-by-step birth" with the female companion;
Throw out the "Character Patch", and the "reset progress bar" will be opened for the female companion who failed to make fingerprints with Wu Chen in the foggy carriage.
This is also the more advanced connotation of "killer weapon" and "life-saving bullet".
As for whether there is a third type of patch in addition to "vehicle patches" and "character patches", it is still unknown at the moment.
"Such a strong smell." As soon as she boarded the target car, the second casting assistant Anna Moffitt was choked on the face.
"Ah, it's 'Gravy Browning'." Carol Baker, a female military doctor who arrived in Berlin before her, was used to it.
"Fleiss colorant," second casting assistant Anna Moffitt thought immediately. "Browning" means "coloring agent". "Gravy Browning" literally means "gravy-like coloring." Talk. In the 20s and 30s, stockings were made of expensive silk, and all silk raw materials came from the East. It was not until 1935 that Wallace Carothers, an American chemist and leader in organic chemistry research at DuPont Company, synthesized nylon for the first time, and then launched a kind of "nylon stockings" that made women around the world crazy. In 1939, at the New York World's Fair, this new style of stockings was publicly unveiled for the first time. In the promotion of the American company DuPont, this kind of thin socks is made of "carbon, water and air" and is "as thin as spider silk, as strong as steel wire, and as beautiful as silk". Its magic is that it not only feels smooth, durable, and cheap, but also makes the women who wear it more sexy. So it quickly became popular all over the world. Owning a pair of nylon stockings has become every woman's dream. So much so that for more than a century, nylon stockings were once the symbol of upper-class women.
But the good times didn't last long. As the United States declared its entry into World War II in 1942, nylon became a restricted supply and was used to produce parachutes, bomber tires and other military supplies. As a result, the production of nylon stockings was severely affected and gradually came to a standstill. As a result, there was an extreme shortage of nylon stockings on the market, prices began to skyrocket, and black market transactions flourished. Many American women have even learned to live frugally. A pair of torn nylon stockings that they might have thrown away before will now find ways to "repair" them and wear them again. So clothing stores specializing in repairing worn-out nylon stockings came into being. You can tell how popular the business was at that time from the piles of silk stockings in the store.
At the same time, women who love beauty have also set off a strange trend in society. A new market has emerged, that is, "liquid stockings": a pigment similar to liquid foundation is evenly applied to the legs, making the legs look as smooth as wearing real stockings. Because the early sewing level of stockings could not achieve the "perfect" effect, stockings at that time had a "nylon suture" in the middle of the back of the leg, called the "Back Seam", which extended from the thigh to the ankle. Just like an accent line that is deliberately blackened and bolded across the beautiful legs, the back seams also unexpectedly make the lines of women's legs more sexy and charming. Therefore, when women apply "liquid stockings", they will also use an eyebrow pencil to draw a deep line. Color stripes to imitate the "seams" of nylon stockings. Some women even paint their entire calves in a color similar to nylon stockings. As a result, liquid products specifically used for painting stockings came into being. The most popular pigment is called gravy browning, a colorant that is close to flesh color.
In the early 40s when supplies were in short supply, these "liquid stockings" called "glamor stockings" during the war were indeed very popular with women. Some stores would offer free "leg makeup" to attract customers to buy cosmetics. . As this trend continued to become popular, it spawned many shops that specialized in painting nylon stockings for women, just like eyelash and nail salons in later generations. People call it the "leg makeup bar." The "beautiful leg makeup artist" in the store even has specially designed tools to draw a "charm stocking" on the customer's exposed calf that looks just like the real thing.
In 1945, DuPont reopened its nylon stockings production line less than two weeks after Japan surrendered. However, since the war had just ended, the supply of nylon stockings was not completely satisfied. Most women had to queue for a long time to get a number before they could purchase the limited-edition nylon stockings. One day in November 1945, more than 11 women lined up in Pittsburgh just to buy a pair of nylon stockings. But at that time, only 4 pairs could be supplied to them. The serious shortage of stockings caused serious dissatisfaction among the queues of buyers, who began to storm the stores and even smashed them. Journalists at the time dubbed the phenomenon "Nylon Riots."
It was not until March 1946 that DuPont finally stabilized the production capacity of nylon stockings at 3 million pairs per month, and the riot slowly subsided. Women can finally wear nylon stockings as they please.
"Katie is the one who has the foresight." Second casting assistant Anna Moffett praised Mrs. Katie, who started hoarding stockings and cigarettes as hard currency early: "I heard that all the people who passed the casting interview and successfully established a profile Every actress gets a brand new pair of nylon stockings."
"That's right, male actors who successfully establish a profile will get a pack of Camel cigarettes." Female military doctor Carol Baker said with a smile: "Look, even the actor's compartment converted from an ordinary sleeper carriage has a huge viewing window, leather The bunk beds are not only warm and comfortable, but also provide changing services.”
"Cigarettes and stockings are fatally attractive to both men and women." Second casting assistant Anna Moffett was also convinced.
"Who are we looking for?" Carol Baker, a female military doctor, glanced at the casting file.
"Mrs. Dominique from France." Second Casting Assistant Anna Moffett quietly lowered her voice. "Charlotte Gray, a member of the underground resistance organization in southern France who goes by the pseudonym of the housekeeper 'Dominique' in "The Last Days"" .The real-life actor is 'Kate the Devil' - Cate Blanchett."
