Chapter 237: Nicknamed "Beans"

It's a pity that "Untouchable" was released, otherwise the current situation, at least the world can still brush another $50 million box office.

Speaking of an interesting phenomenon, "Untouchable" has a score of 9.1 on Douban, but because it did not win the Golden Bear Award, it became 9.3 points, and many new messages are "The biggest pearl of the Golden Bear Award", "I obviously feel very good, why is this?......

"Interesting, I guess if I really won the Golden Bear Award, would the score be lowered?" Chu Shun pondered after discovering this scene.

Is there really such a group of people who give low scores to domestic films that have won foreign awards, and I don't know why.

Mr. Zhou of the Republic of China said in his speech "Silent China": "Chinese temperament always likes to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this house is too dark, you have to open a window here, and you will not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the windows. ”

Or maybe it is because you think that domestic films can't be too sharp abroad, and they have to be "kind" to beat?

Chu Shun thought, and then in the topic column of Douban, he saw an interesting topic.

The initiator is "What is Anonymous" [Is Chu Shun the only Chinese director who can shoot a movie with more than nine points in China so far?]

"It's true, even Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen on the earth, don't say that it's nine points, it's difficult to get eight points. ”

The memory is quite profound, because Chu Shun himself likes Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" very much, which can be said to be very good in aesthetics, but it is only 7.2 points, what kind of plot is unreasonable, the form is greater than art, and so on.

And Antonioni's "Enlargement" is also good at aesthetics, with a score of 8.5.

In terms of narrative, Chu Shun thinks that "Shadow" can at least be understood as a story, and the aesthetics of the picture do not say that ink painting must be better than the beauty of darkness, but at least it should not be lowered a notch.

Double standards are an advantage that people all over the world have, and the Rotten Tomatoes website of the United States is like this, European movies automatically add points, and then look at the popularity of Chu Shun and Tornatore in Italy.

Since the turn of the millennium, there have been less than five domestic movies with nine points on Douban, and there are too many foreign movies with nine points.

Chu Shun has always felt that the double standard is not terrible, because he is also a double standard dog, and most people's hearts grow on the left side and not in the middle, so there must be bias.

The terrible thing is that it is clear that the double standard is not recognized, and it has to be said that the overall domestic film has not been good since the nineties.

It's a problem that the overall domestic industry can't do it, it's that world films have not worked since the 90s, and commercial films are okay, because it's really inferior to Hollywood, but art films are completely different.

Section Chief Jia's artistry has been recognized abroad, but his films have not exceeded 8.5 points on Douban.

It's really not a double standard, why is "Tengu", "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart", and "Eyewitness Chasing the Murderer" less than nine points?

Do you really want to say that "Farewell My Concubine" will really be released in 10 years, and it can really get more than nine points on Douban? Chu Shun was skeptical.

Yuandi Star is also the same as the earth, and it will take three or four years to produce one after the millennium, but Chu Shun was an accident, and his lowest movie ratings are "Kill Bill" and "Deadly ID", with the former scoring 7.6 points and the latter 8.1 points.

The scores of the rest of the movies are on the high side, which is unique in China, and is nicknamed the son of Douban by Douban netizens, referred to as "Douzi".

"Speaking of which, what is my highest-rated movie?" Chu Shun was also curious, ready to click on this topic to take a look.

"Sir, please put your phone into airplane mode. The stewardess said gently.

"Okay. "Anyway, there is also in-flight WiFi after takeoff, so Chu Shun said that it would be okay to wait and see later.

took off, Chu Shun flew back to the magic capital, mainly because Mapihuni arrived in the magic capital and discussed the purchase of the ground.

It is true that it is more convenient to fly to the Demon Capital in Rome than to fly to the capital, so Chu Shun is too lazy to change planes and fly directly to the Demon Capital.

On the day when Chu Shun participated in the Berlin Film Festival, Brother Blowing did not appear in Berlin, because he was trying to complete the things he explained.

Not to mention, there is progress.

The first is Professor Zhou Huzhi, an "expert in human disaster research", who is a distinguished professor of Peking University, and he has a very deep study of the Titanic incident, so he can be used as a consultant.

In addition, the design team also has eyebrows, and Brother Blowing has found two, one is an emerging design studio that was established just three years ago, and the other is the old DND Dawn Company, which is considered to be the No. 1 ferry design in Asia.

Brother Blowing prepared the materials on both sides, ready to wait for the film festival to end for the director to choose.

Chu Shun originally thought that it would take at least a month to find it, but he didn't expect that it would take less than two weeks for Brother Blow's side to have a suitable candidate.

Last night, Chu Shun drew pictures all night, all kinds of storyboards and design drawings, this time it should be said that the drawings need to be drawn, of course, after experiencing "The Godfather of Tokyo", everything is just a paper tiger.

I also have to ask Brother Blowing to find a professional special effects team, because "Titanic" has very high requirements for underwater photography, and the system's wife gave him so much money, so he can't be negligent, and Chu Shun must be more extreme than Cameron in terms of hardware.

Commercial blockbusters, that is, more than details.

He's confident, and the reason is simple, he's richer than Cameron.

Chu Shun was very sleepy after not sleeping all night, and he originally said that he would watch the topic after taking off, but he slept until the plane was about to land.

The plane hovered in the air waiting for the instructions of the signal tower, looking at the magic capital from the sky, Chu Shun felt that it was a hot pot, a house the size of an ant, all chili peppers, and the water was the edge of the pot.

Well, the main thing is that Chu Shun wants to eat hot pot.

Be born.

After getting off the plane, Chu Shun got in touch with Mabehuni and invited him to eat Haidilao, in fact, as a hot pot, Haidilao tastes average, but mainly in the magic capital, the taste is good.

Mapihuni really took the chance, and under his management, Cefalù came from behind and surpassed Syracuse.

And also last year, with the support of the city of Palermo, the capital of Sicily, the "Cefalù Film Award" was established to reward young Italian directors, and then the name of the trophy was "Sicilian Chu Cup".

It is the fusion of Sicily and Chu Shun's name, Chu Shun's small goal was to set up a film award named after him when he was alive, and it is really a long way to go.

Back to business, under Mapihuni's explanation, Chu Shun probably understood a little, and he was too hasty in his thinking before.

The small town of Cefalù is indeed very small, but the scope of his jurisdiction is not small, especially in the past two years, there have been more tourists in Cefalù, and then more supporting facilities have been built, and the administrative planning is larger, which can fully meet Chu Shun's requirements.

Chu Shun is also more inclined to be in Sicily, mainly because Mexican Nyima is dangerous, Chu Shun's biggest impression of Mexico is that he is a drug lord, and many news before were that the Mexican official said that he could not defeat the drug trafficking group, and he directly fought with the official army with a gun, which was simply terrifying.

Yuandi Star is only cultural, and it is different after eighty years, which means that these fierce people still exist.

Asked about the price, if it is too expensive, you can't afford it, the price of land in Sicily and land in Mexico, this is not more than known.

But when he asked about the price, Chu Shun was a little surprised that it was cheap, although it was more expensive than Earth Fox buying land in Mexico.

But what is Mexico?

Although Mexico has the Pyramid of the Moon, Mayan monuments, and the cultural aspect of Octavio, a literary hero, and the three masterpieces of murals, it is not lined up at all in front of the United States.

Let's put it this way, to count the American box office of a movie, it is generally counted in China, Mexico, and Canada.

It's a bit like Xiangjiang in the golden age, and the box office statistics will include the bend by default.

10,000 steps back, not to mention that in the end, Mexico also pitted Fox Corporation.

It is conceivable that in order to attract Chu Shun, Mapihuni got a big discount, and it also proved that Chu Shun's reputation in Italy is really good, otherwise it is estimated that Mapihuni would not be able to sell a hundred acres at a cheap price.

The only condition of the Sicilian government is that the land cannot be used for the construction of factories and other manufacturing buildings.

are very satisfied with the conditions, so Chu Shun and Mapihuni have almost set the basic approximation, and the follow-up must be a team of lawyers and specialized people to draw up the contract.

ate hot pot again, and solved the most difficult problem in the early stage of "Titanic", and double happiness came.

Stayed in the Internet celebrity Shenkeng Hotel in the magic capital, as its name suggests, it is not bad, but excluding the bonus of the hotel location, the cost performance is really not high.

The most important thing is that the presidential suite is gone, there are so many rich people in the magic capital, Chu Shun washed up and lay on the bed, ready to sleep.

"Hey, did I forget something?" Chu Shun suddenly thought of the topic that he had to watch on Douban on the plane before.

I took out my phone and rummaged through it for a while.

[Is Chu Shun the only Chinese director who can shoot a movie with more than nine points in China so far?]

1st floor: Confidence is not to remove it, it is really the only one.

2nd floor: There is one thing to say, the art film of the liver emperor is a real dick.

3rd Floor: Untouchable 9.3 points, Cinema Paradiso 9.2 points, Sicilian Beautiful Legend 9.0 points, The Matrix 9.0 points, Sweet Honey 8.9 points, Tokyo Godfather 9.0 points, do you really think Douban's son is joking?

3rd floor: In fact, you can search for it yourself, and after one or five years, Chu Shun is outstanding, and Douban high-scoring movies are TOP250, of which Chu Shun has four movies in the top 100 and three movies in the top 50, and he is untouchable and ranks 19th.

4th Floor: Thank you for the Data Emperor upstairs, my Heavenly Liver Emperor is really unbeatable! I feel that he has surpassed Lu Guozhu and Gao Yuan.

5th floor: It's a bit exaggerated to exceed, after all, Lu Zhang's current movies are a bit stretched, but they did shoot a lot of good movies in the nineties, and as a representative of the fifth generation, thirty or forty years of directing career is still not so easy to surpass.

6th Floor: Actually, I think it was untouchable to win the Golden Bear Award yesterday, Chu Shun should be able to compare with Lu Zhang, after all, he is the fourth person in history at the European Film Festival, and he can smooth out too many things.

7th Floor: Jinnyima 6666, especially with the style of the movie, I am simply convinced, in six or seven years, it is almost the accumulation of thirty or forty years of others.

There are more than 6,000 floors on this topic, and Chu Shun climbed to more than 100 floors, and he still saw a few scolding him, but Chu Shun automatically ignored it.

"It's such a high score. Chu Shun remembers that he is ranked 25th on the earth, in fact, strictly speaking, he is also an example, many of his movies are filmed and scored higher than the earth on Douban.

Sleep.

After staying in the magic capital for two days, I returned to the capital and made an appointment with Professor Zhou Huzhi, and the conversation was very successful, so it was decided.

Zhou Huzhi and Chu Shun recommended the book "Unforgettable Night", Chu Shun knew that it was written by Walter Lauder in the 59s, and it was translated as "The Sinking of the Titanic".

In fact, it has nothing to do with the movie, and the later translation of the name was also changed after the movie became popular.

"Speaking of planning, do I choose an old company or a new studio?" Chu Shun took the two documents and fell into thought.

Brother Blowing also began to recruit effective crew volunteers, Shi Kao, Liang Pu and Lao Liang and others, the latter two are not a person, the former is the casting director, the latter is the executive director, Lao Liang is called Liang Huimiao, it is because the name is too awkward, he was called for it, and the front crew also invited Liang Kuan, who thought he was a relatively young audition director.

Seriously, I don't know why so many of them are surnamed Liang.

"Master Blow, Director Chu is going to shoot a new drama again?" Lao Liang, as the executive director, has filmed two of his own plays, but unfortunately his grades are mediocre, so he feels that he has to learn more from Chu Shun - although there is a feeling that the more he learns, the more he will not be able to do it, but this does not prevent him from continuing to move forward.

"That's right. Brother Blowing nodded, and then said mysteriously: "This time it's a big investment." ”

Lao Liang's expression moved, and asked, "Hacker II is going to shoot?"

"Not Hacker 2. Brother Blowing shook his head.

"What's that. "Lao Liang said, hackers are blockbusters in the real sense, although "Fatal ID" also has a high box office, but it is not as good as hackers.

Brother Chui said: "You stand firm." ”

"I've been in this line of wind and rain for many years, and I've never seen any scenes. "Lao Liang Dao, mainly hackers, he has seen it, 200 million US dollars investment, is already a world-class investment, how big can it be?

"Titanic", the name of the new film that Director Chu wants to shoot, has an initial investment of 350 million US dollars. "Brother Blowing.

"Ahem, cough, cough—" Lao Liang choked, opened his eyes and asked, "How much?"

"350 million US dollars, and there is no cap, according to Director Chu, another 50 million will be added in the future, and it is possible to reach 400 million US dollars for investment. Brother Chui said: "This does not include the cost of publicity." ”

"it?" Lao Liang couldn't help but lie down, this is too Nima to exaggerate, according to the rough income of commercial films three times, this investment is 1.2 billion box office is enough!

The Matrix box office is only $1.3 billion.

Go crazy.

It's going to be big.

Lao Liang wanted to say a lot of things, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh at the end: "Is this Director Chu?
