"Director Chu Shun, can I announce the news of the new film?" asked Jeff, who was inconvenient to ask when he was a guest at Philip's house before, so he waited until he was on the way back to the hotel.

"No problem, the movie was supposed to be announced after filming, and announcing it in advance is equivalent to helping with publicity. Chu Shun nodded.

Jeff was still a little excited, and he thought that Chu Shun would make a film that reflected the black immigrants in France, and he was particularly credited, accounting for at least 30 percent.

Why can a creature like a human be so tenacious, because it can amplify its own role and realize self-moving, which is not a bad thing from a practical point of view, Section Chief Sakamoto and Jeff have a similar mentality, and they are the number one Chu Blow in the island country.

Although Ou Yadi, the first Chu in Italy, became a fan of Chu Shun earlier, the people of the island country really have a bigger vocabulary.

At that César Award, when he deliberately took a leave of absence as a director and led Chu Shun to Paris, his impression must have been good.

Moreover, there was a small incident, there were two people on the side of the street who had an argument, one was black and the other was white, perhaps because of the parking space, the black man was about to smash the car, and the white man drove the car away stupidly.

At that time, Chu Shun was thoughtful, but Jeff criticized two sentences of blacks for causing a lot of chaos, and then immediately introduced the 93 provinces, and finally concluded that Paris was not so chaotic, but after the influx of blacks, it was chaotic.

After getting Chu Shun's approval, the next day there was a headline on the sub-page of Le Monde - "The famous director Chu Shun adapted the autobiographical "Second Breath" by Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, and the new film will be shot in Paris. ”

As a comprehensive newspaper, Le Monde also focuses on the international economy and the domestic situation, and the headline of the supplement is already a very hot representative.

The main content of the report is to introduce Philip's identity, and then list the beautiful legends of Sicily and the Paradise Cinema, so how much Chu Shun's new film is worth looking forward to.

It stands to reason that when the French media had a dispute with the Italian media before, the French media almost reached a consensus and wanted Chu Shun to come to France for filming.

Now Chu Shun is here, and the subject matter is also a French theme, which should be unanimously welcomed, but after Jeff's report, the media circle has shown a diametrically opposite trend between the two parties.

First of all, led by the great French director Guy, they are very much looking forward to Chu Shun's new work.

The other side is dominated by Bai Kai, and they remain suspicious of Chu Shun.

[First of all, I respect director Chu Shun, because he is worthy of respect in terms of developing film shooting skills, "a movie in a movie", "using locations to promote the emotions of characters", "the most romantic ending in film history", etc., are all worth learning.

In addition, the thinking about life and life in "The Matrix" also makes people think newly.

But we can't deny that director Chu Shun's current most artistic achievements "Cinema Paradiso" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" are both films made based on pity for Italy, but France and Italy are two completely different countries, and I don't think director Chu Shun can know more about France.

It can also be seen from the fact that Director Chu Shun did not have an original script this time but chose to adapt the script, I checked the resume of the work, and among all the works shot by Director Chu Shun, the scripts so far are original.

I also read "The Second Breath", which has neither "sincere art" nor "great heart", and is a very mediocre autobiographical work.

So I'm not looking forward to director Chu Shun's new work, if I want to shoot a French-themed work, I still need to live in France for a while, not a mediocre autobiography. ”

Baike is a famous French director, and he is on a par with Guy in terms of popularity and social influence, and the actual films he shoots are not as award-winning as Guy, but Baiquet is also a poet.

He is even considered by American critics to be the best French poet of the 21st century, so in the field of literature, Bai Cay can say that "The Second Breath" is a mediocre work without scruples, and the language used to evaluate his autobiography is the famous evaluation of "Biography of Famous People", and the requirements are really high, comparing Philippe and Romain Rolland together.

I don't know if Philip should be happy or helpless.

Baikai and Guy have no enmity, there is no such thing as "you are in favor and I am against", the subjective reason why it pops up is that the stage of "fighting for lovers" between France and Italy has passed, and now France has calmed down.

The objective reason is that Bai Kai feels that France is not without a director, so why should he expect a foreigner to shoot?

Although France has not appeared in the world's most influential films in recent years, French films are still unique in the European art market, and only Italy can compete with them.

There are not many people who support the point of view of director Baiquet, and there is no way to be arrogant Gallic chickens have always been like this, and it seems to make sense when you think about it, why both Italian films are original scripts, and why they have to adapt the scripts when they arrive in their country.

And it can't be said that the adaptation and the original are better, each has its own difficulties, but when it comes to this, it's not ordinary.

Just like two friends, you give A two apples at the beginning, and then the autumn pear is on the market, so you give B a pear, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But when "general suspicion" prevails, they will think, "Do you give me pears because you don't like them?"

Even if you give B apples, B will wonder "Are the first two apples more delicious, and the third apple is not delicious at all before giving it to me?"

In France, Guy and Baichai also collided with each other because of this incident, of course, the two had no hatred or grudge, so they did not tear their faces, but just deepened their views again in the newspaper.

Chu Shun didn't pay attention to the French controversy, firstly, he couldn't read French, and secondly, "Untouchable", the most wonderful film in modern France, was released, and he was waiting for Bai Kai and others to be really fragrant.

Let Cheng Si of Taiyi Company come over to sign the contract, and then call Brother Blow over, and you can choose the actors of "Untouchable".

I changed a hotel in Paris, the previous Hilton service was too poor, Chu Shun temporarily stayed at the Ritz Hotel, this hotel is not very famous, but it has the most elegant name in Paris.

After Chu Shun stayed, he didn't feel much about elegance, and the most impressive thing was that the breakfast was provided with a Japanese-style breakfast, did he feel that his French food was not fragrant enough, or what?

"On Earth, this movie has been remade in the United States and South Korea, but I think the leading actor is not up to the height of the original. Chu Shun pondered.

Although the reputation of the American remake is okay, and the male protagonist is still Breaking Bad...... But Chu Shun always felt that the original Cruze played a gentle gentleman too well.

"I don't believe the whole of France can't find a suitable actor. Chu Shun said in his heart, as for the other male protagonist being black, it's not that he discriminates against anything, the key is that Chu Shun can't tell whether black people have acting skills...... We'll talk about that then.

A day later, Brother Blowing flew to Paris, accompanied by his daughter Sun Yun, who had graduated and gone to work.

The reason why I came to Paris this time was because I had promised to travel together, and Brother Blowing also made it clear to Chu Shun in advance, and he paid for the expenses incurred.

As long as he doesn't delay things, Chu Shun won't ask.

The last time I saw Sun Yun, it was the celebration banquet of "Kill Bill", it was really a big change in the white clouds and dogs, and only Chu Shun himself was still as beautiful as ever.

"Director Chu, you are an actor, and your requirements are so general. ”

Brother Chui opened a room for his daughter at his own expense, and he is now at work, and Chu Shun has opened a room.

But Sun Yun is also older, it is impossible to live in one, even if it is a one-bedroom and a living room with a bedroom, it is not suitable, in fact, when Sun Yun was twelve years old, Brother Blowing prepared a separate room for him.

Back at work, [a gentlemanly white actor, preferably French, between forty-five and fifty-five years of age].

has a gentleman's temperament, middle-aged male stars in France and Britain will handle this character, you don't care if it's true or not, it's too much.

Too much means finding something special.

"I'm sure you can. Chu Shun patted Brother Blow.

Chu Shun is quite confident in Brother Blowing, he has cooperated so many times, no matter what type of actor he needs, Brother Blowing can satisfy him, I have to say that it is really an ability.

I was very touched by the trust of Brother Blow, and when I woke up, it was a dream......

The core is to know the actors, Brother Blowing began to think about it that night, he didn't watch many foreign movies a few years ago, and since Chu Shun went abroad, Brother Blowing began to watch a large number of foreign movies.

Therefore, for Chu Shun's request, Brother Blowing immediately thought of an actor Fran, an old man with a gentlemanly demeanor in his impression.

Fran starred in the American drama "Donner Manor", and played a marquis in the play, which is very well interpreted, so it should be no problem.

"Contact...... Hmm? There's no business email on Twitter, what's going on? Brother Chui found Fran's Twitter and found that the profile was empty.

It's not that there is no way, Brother Blowing found Fran's brokerage company on the Internet, and then dialed the phone number of the brokerage company.

"Chu Shun's New Movie" works in the global entertainment industry, and the brokerage company sent the information over and told him that there is no problem with auditions at any time, and the actors' schedules are sufficient.

"Xiao Yun, do you have any favorite French stars, just the kind of middle-aged handsome uncle type, more elegant. "Brother Blow's search for actors is not only known by himself, but also mixed in all kinds of young people's haunted circles.

Sometimes an unintentional sentence in the circle will have unexpected gains, and the reason why Valentina was reminded of the last time "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was that he saw a piece [There is a saying, Jialun is definitely in good shape, but his appearance is slightly worse].

Jia Lun is a Canadian supermodel, and it is because of this that Brother Tou thought of the modeling circle.

Sun Yun is sorting out her itinerary to Paris, going to see the Louvre in the afternoon, and then tomorrow the Arc de Triomphe and Versailles, and if you have time, you want to go to see the Paris Opera.

When she was thinking about it, hearing her father's inquiry, Sun Yun frowned and thought about it, and her eyes lit up and remembered someone, she said: "Teutonic Ait, there was a villain in a British drama before, especially with a British temperament, I remember that it seems to be French." ”

"Teutonic Ait, yes, I see. Brother Blowing nodded and wrote down the name.

"Be safe when you go out. Brother Blowing said: "I still have a little thing here, so I can't go shopping with you." ”

"Got it. Sun Yun said: "I have a college classmate here in Paris, so I don't need you to accompany me." ”

Then he glanced at Brother Fu with disgust, packed up his things and went out.

Brother Chui looked at his daughter's back and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, there is really a generation gap." ”

It's no coincidence that there is no book, but Sun Yun is not so coincidental that there is a classmate in Paris, she just doesn't want Brother Blowing to worry, of course, she does want to go shopping alone.

After a few days of hard work, he asked seven or eight brokerage companies for information, and finally selected three of them that met the requirements the most.

Fran, Teutonic and Toulouse, of which Teutonic was British, Sun Yun remembered wrongly.

It's normal to make mistakes, and the stars in Europe and the United States, if they don't particularly like it, will be easy to remember.

Johnny Depp, for example, feels like he's British...... Actually, it's the United States, and Shakespeare feels like an American, but it's actually British.

Brother Blowing handed over the three lists to Chu Shun, and the establishment of the group could not be delayed, and Brother Blowing also knew that there was still more than half a month, and Chu Shun had to host the Magic Capital Film Festival.

"This is a list of the main characters, and the other actors have a relatively simple request, and you can look for them. Chu Shun gave the list to Brother Blow, strictly speaking, "Untouchable" is a small cost, and there are not many important roles in the first place.

"There is also a need for a life producer who is familiar with France...... Okay, I'll find it as soon as possible. Brother Blowing glanced at the list, specially marked the life producer, and then nodded thoughtfully.

The main filming locations are the city of Cabao and Paris, and the more difficult point is the palatial house of the male protagonist in the film, which is filmed at the Elysee Palace.

This thing is the office of the French president, equivalent to the White House of the United States, and it is difficult for Chu Shun, a Chinese person, to rent it.

Chu Shun carefully looked at the information of the three candidates, first of all, Teutonic exclusion, the reason is very simple, he looks too handsome, and he looks like Beckham, which does not meet the definition of the role of "Untouchable".

Fran and Toulouse arranged for them to come over for an audition. Chu Shun was quite satisfied with these two.

"I immediately arranged a time with their economic company. "Brother Blowing.

"Wait. Chu Shun suddenly stopped Brother Blow, who turned his head and waited for the orders from behind.

"It's nothing, that's all. Chu Shun felt in his heart that the interior scenery should be built directly in your city, anyway, the system would give a lot of money.

"Then I'll go and schedule the audition first. "Brother Blowing is going to do things in a hurry.

The time is also fast, and Fran can come to Paris to audition the day after tomorrow, and the venue is simply booked in the conference hall on the third floor of the Ritz Hotel.

As for Toulouse, shooting the advertisement in New York, there is no way to negotiate a specific time for the time being, because the progress of the advertising shooting is also quite psychedelic.

Sun Yun returned to China after five days in France, and the tourist visa must not be able to stay for a long time.

Speaking of which, he is currently known as Blower in China, his status is quite good, and he has earned a lot of money, so if he wants to find a girlfriend, it is not a difficult thing.

Why don't you find a girlfriend, Chu Shun asked twice, the first time was two years ago, Brother Blowing said, "Wait until Xiaoyun graduates, otherwise it will affect your studies", and then now that Sun Yun has graduated from university, Brother Blowing said again, "Xiaoyun has just stepped into the society and needs family support, if I find someone to marry at this time, the child will definitely feel abandoned, and it is not very good for the child's psychology."

Everything may be thought out by Brother Tou, which feels similar to the feeling that many sisters will not divorce because the child is still young, even if the two of them can't go on anymore.

Chu Shun has personal experience that parents quarrel because their children do not divorce, and they are not much happier than single-parent families.

He has no children in either life, and he doesn't want to have children, which has too much to do with Chu Shun's childhood experience, so he doesn't understand this feeling at all and doesn't comment.

But Chu Shun knew that if Brother Blowing kept thinking like this, there would be no end.

When Sun Yun meets the right one after working for two years, when she talks about marriage, she will think "she has just gotten married when she is young and needs help", and after two years of stable marriage, she will think "I am going to have a child, I am prone to postpartum depression or something, and wait"......

Embark on the old path of most parents in China.

Two days later.

The weather was not sunny, and there were no sparrows on the poles.

"Hello, can you take me to Conference Room 4? Fran came half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

Fran was neatly dressed, with a dark striped suit, hand towel and tie clip, a bit like a serious dress for a banquet.

There are wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes when he laughs, and he is not too outstanding in terms of appearance, but he can only say that he looks pleasing to the eye.

He is forty-eight this year, and for an actor, he is still at the tail end of the golden period of his career, but strictly speaking, Franco's career is going downhill, and he is becoming more and more unable to receive good shows.

"Yes sir, please come with me. ”

The hotel waiter nodded, and then led the way to the 04 conference room on the third floor, but at this time, Brother Fu was setting up the stools, and Chu Shun had not yet arrived.

"Mr. Fran arrived so early?" Brother Chui had also read the information, so he recognized Fran at a glance and came over to say hello.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the director right away. "Brother Chui communicates in English.

"No, no, I arrived early, so Director Chu Shun can come according to the time. Franz said.

"That's good. Brother Chu nodded, and then introduced himself: "I am an assistant to Director Chu Shun, and you can call me Levi." ”

The English name of Brother Blowi is Levi, which can be translated as Levi or Levi...... The young man does not work hard, the soldier is one meter six, and the boss is sad, there is no one meter six.

"Mr. Levi. Fran also introduced himself.

The initial impression of it was not bad, so Brother Blowing pointed to the wheelchair next to him and reminded, "Mr. Fran, you can try it first." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Levi. Fran's eyes lit up and he immediately thanked him, and sat in a wheelchair, which was an electric wheelchair, and his fingers could move slightly.

This is the prop prepared by Chu Shun for the audition, Brother Blowing is in a state where he can be reminded or not, because Fran is quite polite and arrived early, so he chose to remind.

There are two kinds of auditions, one is a script invitation, and the other is an audition invitation, the former is to send the character script, and then the star and the agent decide whether to star or not.

And the latter's invitation may or may not be given to the script, depending on the director's arrangement.

To be honest, Fran still doesn't know exactly what role he auditioned for, although the news says that it is an adaptation of "Second Breath", but who knows what the director will change?

Although he didn't see the script, Fran was still waiting for him, and he finished reading the original book in two days, not by anything else, but by the fact that the director was Chu Shun.

Some time ago, in the dispute between Guy and Baikai, Fran did not support the idea of either side, he only knew that even if the new film was not good, the "bad" of a big director was the upper limit of an ordinary director.

Fran has only watched "The Matrix" directed by Chu Shun, and he has not seen the rest of the works, but he doesn't want to be affected by those news, anyway, he feels that Chu Shun is the youngest director master.

Sitting in a wheelchair and moving around the living room for a while, Fran stopped and began to contemplate that he was disabled.

"I remember when I was younger, I seemed to have kicked a football and hurt myself, what was it like?" recalls Fran, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, twenty or thirty years old, and his memories were so vague that he thought of some of the feelings at that time.
