Heino, famous country singer from 70th in Germany stands completely lost in the kitchen of my ong-set. He never was into home-work. First, he has to glaze his brand new RED silk-kimono.. He thinks hard, which tool he can use. Finally he takes one of the i-beams laying around. Good choice, all wrinkles are gone after this treatment.

Herman (h-) has hired Axl Rose (工) to paint the room red.
Herman walks in and finds that Axl also painted his Warhol, Marilyn Monroe, silk-screen (纟) red. Herman's face is red with anger; Axl's is red with embarrassment.

Location: Break Room [Kitchen] of the Garage {where we sell LingLONG tires}
Actor: Hu Jintao
Props: Red Dress and I-Beam

I'm giving Hu Jintao a tour of where I work as he is visiting the U.S. and giving me Chinese lessons. I show him our little break room in the back where, of course, we have our calendar with scantily clad females. For December, it is a very attractive Chinese girl in a very short red silk dress leaning seductively up against an I-Beam at a construction site. Suddenly, Hu gets very angry and starts yelling in Chinese. Thanks to my studies with the Mandarin Blueprint, I suddenly realize that he is yelling "that is my daughter" and his face turns RED with anger!

This was fun! I hadn’t shot a movie for ages. Hugh Grant is in my -ong set kitchen (much-loved relatives’ home). He puts on a bright red 旗袍 as work-out gear and proceeds to do multiple reps with a weight 工. He is working so hard he is huffing, puffing and going RED in the face. Very silly, so very memorable 😊

Harald is in the kitchen of my -ong flat, trying to stage a film. Unfortunately, an I-Beam is running down the center wall. He brings out a bundle of Silk Scarves to drape and decorate - but nothing works except the RED - perfect balance for lights, actors and set. Ready to film!

Henry turns to the camera, and his face turns red with embarrassment.
