defrogI am in Beijing, and somehow I am working on the set of a Stephen Chow film.
I’m supposed to be dressed like an Imperial Stormtrooper from Star Wars, but the apartment complex in which we’re staying is overrun by locals who eventually take over my room and make off with my uniform. I feel bad about this, and don’t want to have to explain myself to Mr Chow, so I quietly move out the complex without telling anyone.
Shift: I am taking a drum class in a room full of tables and a stage with three basic drum kits. The teacher’s name is Florian – he’s from Denmark. We go for a walk and a drink. He asks me how much drum experience I have – I tell him I’m self-taught, and I can keep a beat, and I can do fine onstage if you stick to AC/DC songs.
Shift: I am back on the film set. I meet Chow and explain what happened and apologize. He smiles and says he understands, and that he rewrote the script around it, so the Stormtrooper uniform isn’t necessary for the scene anymore. That said, the scene has already been filmed, and he took my place as the soldier, so he doesn’t need me anymore. He says he’ll call me when his next project is ready. I thank him for the opportunity, and we part amicably.
That’s a wrap,
This is dF
