Chào buổi sáng. I should never have have forgotten what little Vietnamese I knew. :-)
This is Cẩm Ly for Downy Antibac. She's a famous singer in Vietnam.
Quite a charming lady really. Very easy to work with. Lots of energy and life.
We also brought in Nguyen Toan Tri Minh or Toan as our assistant director
to help bridge the language gap.
By this time, the team was already use to having different languages on the set.
It was just like hearing poetry. I tried my best to remember some of the words
but what came back were the usual greetings - and doesn't take you far. Toan on
the other hand, grew up in LA and spoke english very well.
Personal note: must visit Vietnam again to refresh street language course.
First of all... Thank God it's sunny!
Toan briefing Cam Ly.
Thats Butch Garcia (big guy in the aqua shirt), our production designer,
making sure things are in order.
Cam Ly being her charming self.
You know the shoots going well when you get this smile from your director.
Must I pass the opportunity of a photo opt? nah.
