Chapter 117: If I'm not mistaken
"Yangcheng Daily" newspaper.
"Editor-in-chief, the crew of "Sweet Honey" sent an invitation letter on the 30th. ”
"I didn't agree to the interview before, but now I sent an invitation, do you really think that our Yangcheng Daily is shameless?!" the editor-in-chief was dissatisfied.
"Then we're not going?" asked the editor-in-chief experimentally.
"Of course you want to go, why not. "The editor-in-chief is categorical.
The editor-in-chief of "......" was speechless, the previous editor-in-chief wanted to give Chu Shun an interview in person, but he refused there, so it was normal to feel uncomfortable.
Thinking about it, if it was really for this matter, he would ignore Chu Shun's invitation, and he would not be the editor-in-chief.
When inviting the media, Chu Shun discovered the benefits of winning the "Lily Award", first of all, the official media who had a cooperative relationship with the six princesses took the initiative to come.
"Dazhong Daily", "Phoenix Daily", "Guangming Daily", "Beijing Morning Post", etc., these official media do not say that if you invite, he will come, because their reports have a little official meaning.
Then the classic movie column of the six princesses also sent a host, and CCTV Channel 10 also sent reporters, which was quite impressive.
On the day of the premiere on April 30, people who don't know the truth will definitely think that it is an internal party meeting when they see the number of official media present.
"Director Chu is really powerful, and Guangming Daily and Dazhong Daily are present. As the vice chairman of the Filmmakers Association, it is difficult for Sun Guangtai to invite these official media.
"I won a Lily Award for Best Director before. Chu Shun said.
"Hmm, isn't that the Liutai's own reserved award?" Sun Guangtai was puzzled, and then reacted: "If Xiying has invested in "Let the Bullets Fly", then this award is fine. ”
"What is the relationship between Xiying and Liutai?" Chu Shun was curious, he asked Brother Blow, but Brother Blow didn't know.
"In the past, Xiying and Liutai were a leader. Sun Guangtai explained, and then remembered that he had brought people with him, so he introduced the person he blocked behind: "Let me introduce you, this is a somewhat famous director Liu Guanhong." ”
Sun Guangtai is quite tall, if he doesn't let Chu Shun get out of the way, he really can't see anyone behind him.
is a bit of a famous director, this is the ridicule of an old friend, Chu Shun can know from the memory of the original owner that Liu Guanhong is a famous director, although he has not won the three major film festival awards, but he has also won the Golden Kirin Award at the Tokyo Film Festival, and he has also lectured at Beiying several times.
"The last time Director Liu came to Beiying to give a lecture, I still remember it vividly, "Design Angle and Photography Angle" are all dry goods. Chu Shun said.
"I wasn't invited, so I came cheekily myself. Liu Guanhong smiled and said: "With the style of movies, Director Chu should go up to give more lectures." ”
"I'm shy and don't speak much. Chu Shun waved his hand to indicate that he was not the material for the lecture.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Sun. Gu Shu and Wei Changwei came over to say hello, and it was obvious that the former was very familiar with Sun Guangtai and Liu Guanhong.
"How is it? I filmed a play with Director Chu, did I learn something?" Sun Guangtai asked with a smile.
"It really is. Gu Shu nodded solemnly: "Director Chu not only knows how to tell the act, but also uses all kinds of strange methods to make the actors reach the best state, anyway, I have never met Director Chu like this." ”
Sun Guangtai smiled: "I played Zhang Mazi before, and then he told me that it was not right to act like this, and then he used his method to really act better than I started." ”
"Even if you praise me like that, I will take it all. Chu Shun said: "And Brother Sun has some places that are better than I imagined." ”
Several people talked and laughed, and then Chu Shun introduced Wei Changwei to Sun Guangtai and Liu Guanhong.
Chu Shun beckoned a few people to sit inside.
Liu Guanhong took the initiative to come, firstly, because he was really curious about whether Chu Shun's new film would change his style, and secondly, to invite Chu Shun to join the Directors Guild.
The youngest Golden Lion Award is not in the association, and the authority of the directors association will be affected.
Sun Guangtai asked Chu Shun to play table tennis before, there is no need to say what the battle situation is, anyway, after the game, Sun Guangtai invited Chu Shun to join the Filmmakers Association, and also gave him a position as a member of the presidium.
Chu Shun saw one thing, Liu Guanhong didn't say anything, and many celebrities he didn't invite came, is this a heat?
"I also have a day when I was rubbed off on the heat?" Chu Shun pondered.
The more people come, it means trouble, but the reporters present are very happy, so many wrists casually interview two after the fact, and there are headlines.
"Sister Min, what's wrong with your hand?" Chu Shun saw Yu Min at a glance, wearing a yellow sweatshirt, and he didn't know if it was because the sweatshirt was too big, he always felt that Yu Min was jumping over like an orange cat.
Of course, Chu Shun's main gaze still fell on Yu Min's hand, and his left hand was in a plaster, so he was injured again.
"I fell and injured in a scene, but now it's much better. Yu Min said casually: "If you were still wearing a plaster cast on your feet a month ago, you can leave now." ”
"Sister Min, there's no need to fight hard for filming. Chu Shun thought of Aunt Shan, whose back was injured when she was young, and now she can only bend her back when she is old.
"Action stars are made with their lives. Yu Min said: "Don't worry, I bought insurance." ”
"......" Chu Shun was speechless, which door to put in his heart.
"Xiaobai is here. Yu Min saw Teacher Bai and waved his hand, this range of action looked a little worrying.
"The injury is almost healed, but we still have to pay attention to safety. Teacher Bai obviously knew about Yu Min's injury.
"Let the Bullets Fly was done in four or five months, and Kill Bill was done in four or five months, even if it was filmed abroad. Teacher Bai smiled: "No matter how big the scene is, it is this time, is it fixed?"
"I haven't found out yet. Chu Shun thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is my style." ”
"April and May are really different with the style of the movie. Teacher Bai sighed, and then walked over to sit with Yu Min in his arms slightly, his movements were very slight, and if he didn't look carefully, he would only think that they were two sisters together.
I was busy for more than an hour, and the invitees were almost all here.
Chu Shun came to the stage to speak so directly and decisively: "Watch a movie." The lights went out.
"Tut, I like this kind of director who plays movies without saying a word. A reporter looked at Chu Shun, who returned to his seat after speaking, and muttered: "Don't boast about it." ”
I am a reporter who has participated in many times, and the routine is too familiar, so I will talk about my original intention of creation, and then boast about it, so that everyone has a sense of expectation. Otherwise, take another routine and talk about how hard the filming process of this movie was.
And he used boasting? Those four words are signs. The reporters at the same newspaper next to him also had really sharp ears, and he could hear others whispering.
However, the four words he said were the [Chu Shun's works] that appeared after the movie began, and the sound became much smaller as the movie played.
[1 March 1986]
"Black and white?"
Liu Guanhong was puzzled, at first it was a speeding train under the black and white lens, and then the camera gave a window, and the actor Li Xiaojun who was sleeping down followed the lens.
It was also at this time that the car stopped, and the crowd poured out under various dialects, Li Xiaojun got out of the car with his luggage sleepily and went up on the escalator, accompanied by melodious soundtrack.
At this moment, Liu Guanhong understood why the black and white picture was arranged at the beginning, and at the end of the escalator was the exposure of a light source, which was in stark contrast to black and white, and he felt that when he walked out of the escalator, he would lead to the light.
Xiangjiang has a very developed economy, but due to local restrictions, there is a great shortage of labor, and many mainland people go to Hong Kong to work, and for them, the export is bright.
didn't say a word, but outlined the general background and the origin of the actor, which is amazing. Liu Guanhong saw this very clearly, and Chu Shun changed his style again.
[Dear Xiaoting, I have arrived safely in the port...... ]
Immediately afterwards, he used the tone of Li Xiaojun to write a letter to his girlfriend in his hometown, and outlined Li Xiaojun's personality as a little introverted, and he has a girlfriend named Xiaoting.
Li Xiaojun came to visit his aunt, but his aunt still took good care of him, gave him a room, and helped him arrange a job.
But the letter Li Xiaojun wrote to his girlfriend is a typical report of good news and not bad news, obviously living in the aisle next to the toilet, but saying that there is a room with a separate bathroom, obviously to send chickens and ducks to run errands, but said that he is engaged in transportation.
"The role of aunt is really ......" Liu Guanhong sighed in her heart, her aunt's profession is a bustard, and the house is full of prostitutes from Southeast Asian countries, and then my aunt has never married and has no children all her life, and the proudest thing in her life is that she once had a dewy relationship with Hollywood star William Holden when she came to Hong Kong, and kept William's suit, and firmly believed that William would come back to pick it up.
"If I'm not mistaken, William Holden died in California in '81. And the movie starts in 1986, in other words, William has been dead for five years.
"It shouldn't be that I'm thinking too much, my aunt's role is a certain kind of person who reflects Xiangjiang?" Liu Guanhong continued to watch the movie, and he couldn't discuss it with others at this time.
Life in Hong Kong gradually stabilized, and these directors quickly brought it through the editing shots, as well as the soundtrack and Li Xiaojun's letter to Xiaoting, perhaps because Li Xiaojun had money in the bag, and came to McDonald's that he had always wanted to eat.
There is a saying that a good director is able to compress more details into the shot, such as Yang Dechang's "Guling Street Juvenile Homicide Incident", if you want to explain all the details clearly, this movie will take eight hours.
Li Xiaojun ordered a hamburger and Coke in half-baked Cantonese, and Li Qiao, played by the heroine Gu Su, worked as a cashier at McDonald's, and asked Li Xiaojun if he wanted to take it away or eat it here, but Li Xiaojun, who obviously didn't know much Cantonese, couldn't understand.
Li Qiao looked left and right, asked again in Chinese, heard the familiar voice Li Xiaojun was very excited, in fact, there is a button here, I saw Li Xiaojun and Xiaoting writing a letter in front of him, saying that the room is full of foreigners, he can't even understand what the countrymen here say, only understand what his aunt says, this is the buckle.
The combination of buttons is why Li Xiaojun is so excited, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is a happy thing in itself, and Li Xiaojun can't find anyone to talk to, so he waits for Li Qiao to get off work.
Li Qiao spoke Cantonese very well, so he felt that he was a Hong Kong person, and he looked left and right when he spoke Chinese earlier.
