Chapter 661: Oriental Culture
"How do you make this film?"
"Then are you coming?"
"How could I not come......? How is that kind of character?"
"Wind and dust woman, is there a problem?"
"Oh, you guy, why do you ask me that, it's just that there is a strange feeling. β
"Okay, okay, you were so active in wanting to star in "Memoirs of a Geisha" before, now you will play the role of Sister Goose City in this movie, what's the problem?......"
"Yuki Kusano!
"Haha...... Just kidding, what, I'm confident that this movie will go to Hollywood. β
"That's pretty much it. β
......
Zhang Ziyi is still very busy, but fortunately, if Kusano Yuki is now, she can still listen to it, although there was a small controversy about the previous "Memoirs of a Geisha", but after all, there is "The Conditions of the World" to make up for it.
Yuki Kusano's understanding of international actresses is still very good, she is too young, and the rise rate is too fast, in this context, she naturally wants to be more 'progressive'.
To put it simply, she hopes to really make a splash in Hollywood.
Yuki Kusano is very clear, her idea itself is a mirror, and if she wants to mix in Hollywood, she really needs to have too many things other than 'drama'.
Here, there are people who have better acting skills than you, and who has more resources and richer background.
Scarlett is not ordinary, but even so, she needs to go to a place like the actor's studio to improve herself, although Zhang Ziyi graduated from Chinese opera, you must know that China's three major art schools have a good reputation in the United States, and they are also top in the world.
However, it is still not so prominent.
As for Zhang Ziyi's original path, Kusano Xing was very clear.
So, on the whole, the famous supervisor is really good for this international actress, she could have been more dazzling.
In this way, the rejection of "Memoirs of a Geisha" is actually the right thing to do.
Of course? Yuki Kusano is very smart? He replaced this movie with something else, so that Zhang Ziyi could rest assured, this is the right way.
Now? The replacement of this movie is "Let the Bullets Fly"? What did Yuki Kusano say to Zhang Ziyi? The film will also go to Hollywood, which is actually international.
In fact? This is also Kusano's ambition.
Is this the plan for inviting Scarlett over? So......
That's right, Zhang Ziyi also understands that Yuki Kusano's movie is also aimed at the Oscars.
Basically, operating a movie as a producer and screenwriter is not very different from the previous supervisory role, but Jiang Wen will lead the shooting work in actual work.
But? Yuki Kusano's current status, this is actually not bad.
Anyway, you're almost ready? That's how the movie began.
But? Didn't expect the superintendent? Someone still came looking for it.
......
Still the Great Wall? It's still a foreigner who believes that sentence, but this time...... It's a man.
"Mr. Kusano, thank you for bringing me to the Great Wall. β
"Mr. Gordon, you are too polite. β
"Huh? We shouldn't have so many courtesies between us. β
"It's fine. β
"You know what I'm going to say. β
"I can probably guess. β
"Well, I'll just ask. β
"Yes. β
"Do you think that the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha" will embarrass Japan?"
"Oh, well, I'm sure even if I did, most Japanese people wouldn't think so, and I don't think so. β
"Mr. Kusano, this answer really surprised me. β
"Really?"
"Haha......"
This man is strange, he is Arthur Gordon, the author of "Memoirs of a Geisha", and the reason why he is strange is really ......
This guy came to the Great Wall, of course this kind of tour is nothing, but what the hell is going on with you wearing a weird costume similar to a costume?
Yuki Kusano actually wants to ask, are you a transvestite?
Of course, this is indeed too rude, after all, people are also here to promote the capital's tourism economy.
Arthur Gordon was okay, he explained a little earlier, this dress was made by himself, and it was made according to the Chinese culture he knew.
He wears this to show a kind of respect, oh yes, the word he uses is awe.
Americans love to use this word to express their attitudes.
But what does it look like?
In Kusano's view, it looks a bit like a Japanese kimono, but it has a Hanfu feel, which is really nondescript.
But everyone said that they were in awe, and there was no good way for him to be the overseer. Yuki Kusano has also heard that this Gordon really likes oriental culture, and his wife often wears kimonos in public.
Forget it, people wear it like this, this is his freedom, and he really can't say anything, so let's talk more about movies.
Apparently Gordon is going to be a lobbyist this time, and he hopes that Yuki Kusano will be the director of "Memoirs of a Geisha".
In fact, as far as this move is concerned, Kusano has already felt a little understanding of Gordon's understanding of Eastern culture.
Compared with the Weinstein brothers, it is much better for him to come forward, after all, Gordon is a family, after all, he is an American literati, not only respects Yuki Kusano, but also makes this matter a lot less coppery.
It can be regarded as giving face, so Yuki Kusano will talk a little.
But now, since we have talked to this extent, Gordon is directly asking himself if he has an opinion, this...
"Mr. Gordon, let me say a few more words, can you promise me not to be angry?"
"Of course, there is no problem. β
"Well, in my opinion, you can resonate with Americans, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to resonate with Japanese or Chinese." β
β......β
"I'm not saying that your writing is bad, and I'm not saying that you haven't done enough research on East Asian cultures, but you're already good, but some things are still internal, and it's really hard to be tough enough to do a blend. β
"Oh, I see, that's right?"
"That's right. β
"Twisted melons are not sweet. β
"Mr. Gordon, I must admit that you have indeed done a lot of research on Eastern cultures. β
"Hahaha......"
Fortunately, Yuki Kusano's words were actually a bit 'rushing', but Gordon was not angry.
In fact, this is what Yuki Kusano really wants to say, and of course, he also has some things that he hasn't said.
Gordon's work itself is still good, and it already knows much more about the Orient than the average American.
It's not even a question of the first and fifth layers, maybe it's the 18th layer...... Oh, and that metaphor might not be so good.
However, even so, there are many commercial things to be added later.
For example, the Weinstein brothers know very well that the status of female stars in Japan is still not good, and the internationalization is insufficient, so he will look for Chinese female stars.
After all, at the level of Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, the sense of presence is much higher.
Yuki Kusano naturally remembered that this movie also found the well-known Japanese female smoking gun, Momoi Smoke.
To put it bluntly, it's just to make money, after all, Momoi is a relatively rare actress in Japan who can show her prominence internationally.
That's all there is to it, enough is enough.
Gordon also knew in his heart that Yuki Kusano completely rejected "Memoirs of a Geisha", and the American family was not angry, but felt that Yuki Kusano had a lot of character.
After sending Gordon away, Yuki Kusano naturally returned to the Zodiac...... Oh, no, no, no.
But...
"Wow you!"
"Huh? Why are you here? β
"Luck, you've been very comfortable lately, haven't you?"
"No, this ......"
I didn't expect it.,MingcaiγShizukaγSister Quanshui they're here.,What I didn't expect is.γγγ
"These twelve villas are really good. β
"Each has its own characteristics, it's fantastic. β
"We're going to stay here longer. β
What happened to the kidneys?
Do you really want to change the zodiac?
