Chapter 224: Shooting Begins
"The winner of the Golden Goblet Award at the 28th Modu International Film Festival is - this result is announced to us by Chu Shun Chu, the chairman of our jury. The host gasped as he spoke.
The directors below are holding their breath and are ...... by this I almost choked, but the chairman of the jury, as the guest of honor, still had a small range of applause at the scene.
Chu Shun came out of the backstage with an envelope in his hand, in fact, he knew who the winner was, but he still had to pretend to be looking forward to it, and he wanted to give the live audience a comfortable experience.
"The winner of the Golden Goblet Award at this film festival is "A Meal", congratulations to director Jin Yaohua. Chu Shun didn't sell Guan Zi to say witty things or anything, because he was not the protagonist today.
"The style of "A Meal" is elegant, like a crystal clear river, but it is surging with all kinds of social problems, and the film [does not express] leave a huge space for imagination. Chu Shun didn't look at the teleprompter in his hand, because this comment was written by him.
Jin Yaohua in the audience took a deep breath to suppress the little nervousness, originally he had been to the Sundance Film Festival to receive the award, and he had also seen a big scene, but the award presenter was Chu Shun, which did make him a little stressed, and a few seconds later, with a smile on his face, he walked to the stage.
"The movie wasn't a good one, and I preferred a meal to Angry City. Chu Shun said: "I think the reason is because I feel that the criticism of the angry city is too heavy, and people prefer the feeling of being light and light when they are old." ”
The consistent routine at the award ceremony, I was very moved to hug the award presenters on stage, and then at this time, the award presenters would privately evaluate two sentences, and these two small words would not be heard by others through the microphone, what a touching and harmonious scene.
Therefore, at the awards ceremony of the Academy Awards last year, Director Chang, who won the best director, clashed with the award presenter on the spot, and actually fought on the spot.
There was an uproar afterwards, but when the media asked what he said, neither the award presenters nor Changdao himself said a word.
When France and Italy competed for the championship in the 06 World Cup, Materazzi and Zidane said a word, and actually let Zidane hit people directly, and was given a red card. The two sides are also silent? It wasn't until more than a dozen years later that Zidane told the truth? Materazzi said: "I want your sister".
The mystery of the Academy Awards conflict? It is estimated that it will be more than ten years before there will be the truth.
"Thank you, Director Chu Shun. Jin Yaohua also replied in a low voice: "I know that Director Chu recommended "One Meal" very much at the review meeting, thank you very much." ”
Hey? Chu Shun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, did he indeed praise "A Meal" at the review meeting? But Jin Yaohua knows? It must have been someone who revealed the news to him.
Stop trading, there's a ghost!
Chu Shun handed the trophy to Jin Yaohua, looking like a golden jue, in fact, speaking of it? The appearance of the trophy is really not as good as the rooftop award of the Beijing Film Festival.
The Magic City Film Festival has not yet set up a lifetime achievement award? Therefore, the award ceremony ended successfully after the Golden Goblet Award was awarded.
Kobayashi Changji and Jin Yaohua both wanted to invite Chu Shun to dinner and then chat, but Chu Shun had an appointment in the evening.
There's a rice bucket - oh no, there's a friend Rui Ying? There must be something delicious, Rui Ying knows a lot of gourmet restaurants in the magic world.
"It's going well. Chu Shun couldn't help but say? Rui Ying has been producing literary films since the defeat of "Han Palace"? In the past three years, plus "Angry City" and "A Meal", have you starred in six films? Two a year.
"Hey, hey? Not bad. "When Rui Ying was complimented? It will squint its eyes, plus it will be a little baby fat, so it will squint into a line, and it will bend like a beautiful crescent.
Chu Shun felt that Rui Ying was mixing well because she had unintentionally swiped her Weibo before, although the attention was still only about 2 million, but the media mentioned it was a compliment.
[Goddess Pisces!]
[The young lady really grew up in my aesthetics.] ]
[today's pretty]
[It's really a new generation of goddesses of literature and art, I liked it after reading "The Rhine" yesterday, holding the book and the sun shining on my face, this scene is really beautiful.] ]
......
The two came to a very winding one that Rui Ying said, and it was said that it was a steamed bun shop that had to be put in good food...... Generally speaking, the soup dumplings are sold in the morning, but this shop is also open at night, and the taste is not bad.
"Looking at gossip news reports, is it true that there is a broad young man who is pursuing you?" Chu Shun's biggest advantage as a director is that after knowing the gossip, he can directly ask the parties.
"Fake, that Kuo Shao asked me to have a meal, but I didn't agree, there is no follow-up development, gossip news said that he married into a wealthy family, I don't know about it. Rui Ying replied as she stuffed a bun into her mouth.
Chu Shun really wanted to film this scene and see what kind of sand sculpture the goddess of literature and art was in private.
After eating this meal, Chu Shun flew to Guishi the next day, although he was very busy before, but more than four months have passed since the release of "The Godfather of Tokyo", and the filming cycle of a movie is basically half a year to a year, and this year will pass again, the donkey of the production team, the cow of the uncle's family, and other people's kittens can't disappear like this, so they have to start the film quickly.
The actors have all flown to your city yesterday, and today they gathered at the Yima Hotel, Fran, Bell Consan, Emily, Louise, Paulina and others, most of the actresses this time, and it is also the first time that Chu Shun has filmed so many dramas.
Amélie plays Philip's daughter, who is 14 years old this year, and the young actor in the original Earth book is only 11 years old...... is too young, and in terms of plot, it shouldn't be eleven years old, so Chu Shun simply found a 14-year-old.
A very beautiful little girl, not to mention laughing and tiger teeth, but cute and lovely.
Among the group of foreign celebrities who came, the most beautiful was Louise, with long blond hair and a good figure, and the blonde stunner that Americans liked.
She plays Philip's female secretary, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has been starring in the vase heroine of Hollywood commercial blockbusters, her popularity is not bad, known as "French cigarettes" - don't spit this nickname, it should mean that everyone wants to smoke?
Strictly speaking, according to Louise's current coffee position and popularity, there is really no shortage of good scripts, but I didn't expect that after Brother Blowing released his words, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to play this supporting actress.
The oldest of the three female stars is called Paulina, there are not many wrinkles on her face, but there are many neck lines, she is an old French drama bone, 47 years old this year, has played many classic roles, and her national popularity in France is very high, and she currently wants to change careers to the background, because of her age, there are no good roles to play.
In general, Chu Shun's lineup is quite good, at least for France, it is not a Tianhu, and it is also a "fried Hu" start.
Even the black Bale is the most famous black actor in France, and Chu Shun chose him not because he fell in love with Bale's fame.
Who has his big name in the crew?
The main reason is that Chu Shun's requirements for the role of Dries are "not to laugh fiercely, but to laugh very gently".
Brother Blowing didn't know what to say when he saw the request, fortunately, he had watched a lot of foreign movies recently, and suddenly remembered a recent Hollywood blockbuster "North and South", which is a military blockbuster about the Civil War, in which Bell played a black soldier, from the bad at the beginning, to the heroic sacrifice, it was quite touching, Chu Shun looked at it to meet the requirements, and sent an invitation, it is said that in order to take over the filming of this drama, Bell even refused the second male lead of the Hollywood blockbuster.
Hollywood blockbuster male number two, and Chu Shun's new film male number two, Bell and the agency both chose the latter.
Compared with before, the hard work of inviting actors to shoot "Let the Bullets Fly", Chu Shun now invites whoever he wants.
"I'd like to put a little easter egg here. Chu Shun suddenly found props and said.
Then the leader of the props team took out his mobile phone and prepared to write down, Chu Shun's easter eggs this time focused on the decorative paintings hanging indoors.
A rich man's mansion must be decorated with famous paintings, and of course, it will pass by in a flash, and Chu Shun quietly hid a few easter eggs.
"Old Liang. After Chu Shun finished the easter egg session, he saw the assistant director Lao Liang.
"I heard Brother Blowing say that you are preparing to shoot a new movie, why did you even set up a project for filming, and you came here again. Chu Shun said: "Will it delay your shooting." ”
"Hey, hey. Lao Liang said with a smile: "Of course not, the main thing is that I still want to learn more from Director Chu, and I don't have to worry about filming." ”
Lao Liang said and added: "As long as you sharpen your own knife quickly, are you still worried that you won't be able to kill people?"
"Just don't delay. Chu Shun nodded.
According to the usual practice of holding a motivational dinner, Chu Shun also saw the interior scene of the engineering team's decoration, and he was very satisfied.
The behind-the-scenes staff is also a group that Chu Shun is familiar with, known as the "Chu Family Class" by the outside world, although Director Chu Shun has not established a company or anything at all, but in order to facilitate the fact that they are almost behind the scenes every time, they have accumulated a lot of resumes.
Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages, such as photographers Jiang Jin and Li Jianyang, they did learn a lot of shooting techniques from Chu Shun, but they felt that Chu Shun's techniques were endless.
The disadvantage is that taking the gaffer as an example, because he is used to all the lights being dispatched by Chu Shun, his creativity and learning ability are greatly reduced.
Anyway, Chu Shun not only gave the entertainment industry an extra "Silver Age" of Beiying, but also Xiao Feng, Yu Mingjie, Wang Xiao, Xiao Bang and others, because they participated in the production of "Fatal ID", and the senior graduates of that year, so the media called them the "Beiying Deadly Generation", don't complain about this strange title.
The development is good, Xiao Feng served as an assistant director in "Fatal ID", shot his own short film, won the best short film director at the Asian Short Film Festival, and then saved some fame The box office of the first feature film is okay and has a small profit.
After Wang Xiao entered the entertainment industry, he also received a lot of roles, and his popularity cannot be said to be very good, and he has gradually improved.
There is also Xiao Bang, who is the photographer of "Fatal ID", who did not take the shooting route, but took the academic route, and published a lot of photography papers in the "Beijing Film Academy Newspaper".
As mentioned earlier, the most professional domestic film journals are "Film Art", "Contemporary Film", "World Cinema", and "Beijing Film Academy Newspaper".
There are other crew members, all of whom are so-so in the entertainment industry, in fact, Chu Shun feels very one-sided when he sees this statement.
First of all, Yu Mingjie was already well-known before she starred in "Fatal ID", and her role as Li Tongnan can be said to be a boost, and Xiao Bang is estimated to have strong academic ability, and Chu Shun has added a good to them at most.
It's just that at the moment, no matter what fame is, it's better than obscurity, so Wang Xiao and Xiao Feng also call themselves the "Deadly Generation", and they are also popular, after all, "Fatal ID" is also top-notch in the classification of suspense films and has a high reputation.
The only thing that has been changed a little bit is that there are more balconies, similar to the observation deck, because of the back mountain, all the mountain views can be seen, get up early to look at the lush green mountains, breathe fresh air, there is no harm except for more mosquitoes.
Chu Shun sat on the observation deck in the hall, the dinner was over, and the cast and crew dispersed.
"Brother Director. Little Lori Amelie ran over and said, "The first time I acted, I heard Sister Louise say that the director's brother is very good at teaching people to act, and I hope to teach me more." ”
"Did you come here on your own, or did your dad tell you to come here? Chu Shun asked with a smile, the title of the director's brother is not called by ordinary ghosts, Chu conspiracy theories and there are always Diao people who want to harm me Shun.
"I'm coming here on my own. After a moment, Amélie said: "I used to shoot only commercials and fashion magazines, so I was afraid that the first time I filmed it would not be beautiful, and many of my classmates knew that I was going to film." ”
"I must have photographed you beautifully. Chu Shun smiled and said.
Little Lori was very happy when she heard this, and then she staggered away, bringing up a string of collisions, and the balcony returned to quiet.
The sky is now dark, in fact, looking at the green mountains is pitch black, with occasional cicadas chirping, as if there are shapeless monsters lurking in the dark.
Seeing Jiujiu's heart was a little hairy, but Chu Shun still stared, it didn't matter if he couldn't see clearly, the important thing was that he knew that this direction was a high mountain.
This silence did not last long, and was interrupted by a series of sounds of "ping pong".
Chu Shun turned around, it was Louise who was moving away from the "obstacles" on the road, and the metal chain decoration that Amélie was hanging on her trouser pocket just now scraped the chair handle.
Louise leaned on the chair, and then sat down next to Chu Shun without moving.
"Director Chu Shun saw that you didn't drink, do you want to go to my room for two drinks?"
Send out invitations.
"There will be a scene tomorrow, go to bed early and don't delay the play. Chu Shun left after answering, leaving Louise in a daze.
During filming, the "Ima Hotel" will be temporarily closed to the public, and you have to pay for living in other hotels anyway, so it is better to rent your own place.
Louise went back to her room, then looked in the mirror, a little suspicious of life, as the saying goes, "The world is as black as a crow, how can a director not be lustful?"
But at the same time, Louise is also a little more confident in "Untouchable", because she knows very well that a man who can control her lower body in this circle is terrifying.
The busiest person tonight is Shi Kao.
"Do you need any special food notes?" asked Bell Conson, who was black after all, and if there were any taboos, he would say it in advance.
Black people are not easy to take care of, for example, in the United States, it is better not to invite black people to eat fried chicken, and not to serve black people a fruit plate full of favorites.
"Thank you, don't think about me, as long as it's not particularly spicy, I can eat anything. Bell said, "I'm not picky about food at all. ”
Shi Kao nodded and wrote it down on his mobile phone, after exercising in Sicily, his ability as a life producer has really improved greatly, and to put it mildly, he is now one of the most famous life producers in China, there are many invitations, of course, no matter how much Shi Kao has, he will leave Chu Shun's time here in advance.
After some inquiry, the most troublesome thing in the crew is the little Lori Emily, she wants to eat a series of snacks such as wahaha, spicy strips, braised chicken feet, etc., and then the little Lori's father does not allow it.
When Amelie plays short videos in France, she often sees a lot of Chinese snacks, and this time she finally came to China and must eat a lot.
In the end, Shi Kao weighed it, suggested half and half, prepare some meals, and then prepare some snacks, Amélie was satisfied, and Little Lori's father couldn't say that he completely refused, what if the filming was not serious?
