近日,由刘德华、巩俐主演的电影正在紧张的拍摄当中。巩俐在戏份结束后,微笑与粉丝合影。
从现场看来,巩俐当天心情很好,在等待拍摄的时候,巩俐一直与身边的几位工作人员有说有笑,看上去容光焕发。而在一切就绪之后,巩俐立即收回笑 容,做出一脸严肃的表情走出门外试拍。一个进门的镜头一次就顺利通过。直到与最后一位群众演员合影留念完之后,巩俐才笑着离开,登上一辆早已停在门口多时的奔驰房车离开。当天拍摄的场地原是一家茶馆,不过在被摄制组使用后,茶馆的二层改装成了足浴中心。 而巩俐除了在门口拍摄一组进门的镜头外,剩下的戏份都在二楼完成,看起来,应该是需要拍摄几场足浴的镜头。
由博纳国际影业携手派拉蒙斥巨资合拍的职场魔幻爱情喜剧《我知女人心》目前在京拍摄正酣,刘德华与巩俐在片中饰演一对儿身处同一公司的上下级,是暗自争强斗胜的竞争对手。戏中两人从互看不顺眼到最后产生火花,上演一场浪漫爱情。
截止目前,除了片方放出的拍摄剧照外,外界对此片的进展情况基本上处于一无所知的状态。。
在刘德华走了没多久,巩俐身着黑色职业连衣裙套装、脚踩“恨天高”进入了镜头,这身干练又不失优雅的造型更十分符合巩俐在片中饰演的女强人角色。
一个多小时后,巩俐终于再次出现在镜头中。不过此时她已经换上了一身连衣裙,显得十分放松。而且不断有工作人员围上来与其合影,巩俐也是来者不 拒,一一笑着满足大家,相当随和。而就在日前某天晚上,《我知女人心》剧组正在工体附近一家营业场所进行拍摄,刘德华也在其中。不过,刘德华在完成最后戏份后,便连夜启程返港。虽然剧情难免给人以俗套的感觉,不过刘德华、巩俐两位天王影后的强强联手还是给了观众期待的理由
Okay, so I’ve had my gripes with the MDs…usually because I’ve decided that I know what needs to be done, and I can’t figure – for the life of me – why they must run tests and refer to my file and blah to the blah.
So I regard doctors as speedbumps. Annoying? Yes. Necessary? Yes. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. I know that. I got my MD on the internet. They actually attended med school.
I thought everyone recognized and appreciated the relationship I described above. This is not, apparently, the case. Unfortunately, President Obama is steadily proving to the American people that he will seize any opportunity to paint capitalism as an ugly thing.
Here is the exact quote: ”Right now, doctors a lot of times are forced to make decisions based on the fee payment schedule that’s out there. … The doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, ‘You know what? I make a lot more money if I take this kid’s tonsils out.’”
While the media will gloss over this quote (or consider it strictly on face value), let’s not forget the underlying message: CAPITALISM IS BAD; IT CORRUPTS THE GREEDY.
I will not expound forever on this, as I must get back to defending the good docs on the literal quote. However, it is a good time to point out that a few crooked people in a capitalistic market (of hundreds of millions) is preferred to a majority of crooks within a controlling government. In the first scenario, the community will patron the honest, thereby squeezing out the crooks. In the other scenario, we have no recourse.
Regarding the docs and the tonsils? Well, I can only speak for my own testimonial, but within the blogging arena, it seemed rather typical. You see… I BEGGED to have my tonsils removed (see paragraph one). The doctors, however, rather than sharpening their blades, insisted upon following my infection frequency and response to antibiotics for what felt like an eternity before finally agreeing that it was time to have them removed. Beautiful day.
My eternity? Only about a year, and that was only because the doctors did not want to “fix” anything that wasn’t truly broken. Avoiding the most invasive option, they charted the infections, the medicines, the pittedness, the size, etc. I was in the office often, and I never had any trouble getting an appointment. Once the decision was made to remove my tonsils, I had no trouble getting in for the outpatient procedure, and I received excellent care.
How will that eternity change under Obamacare? Well, I fear it will no longer represent hyperbole.
Capitalism is a delicate, imperfect balance. It sure would be nice if government would quit poking it with a stick, crying “I told you so!’ when it flinches in response.
