Chapter 164: Confidence

"Do you have faith?"

"Confidence is not something that can be said in words, you let me have two balls, let me feel the joy of success, and my confidence will be sufficient. ”

"That's fine, but the point is that if I give you two balls, you can't win, and that's what makes it difficult for me. ”

"Who said that between you and me, as long as you dare to let in, I dare to win. ”

The above is a dialogue between Chu Shun and Sun Guangtai who fought fiercely on the table, when he was in Italy, Sun Guangtai called to make an appointment for the ball, Chu Shun returned to China after filming at the end of August, and Sun Guangtai happened to be in Vietnam on business, until today, September 14, Sun Chu and the two had time to make an appointment to play a game of table tennis, and the place to play was the Club of Ringhill.

Not some mysterious place, similar to a resort.

The reason why Sun Guangtai asked Chu Shun if he had confidence was because he knew that the new film was going to the Cannes Film Festival.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" swept the Venice Film Festival, in large part because this film is a film for Italians, although the three major European film festivals have always pursued openness and fairness, and the chairman of the jury changes every year, but no matter what, people's hearts do not grow in the middle, and they all have preferences.

The Berlin Film Festival is particularly fond of Chinese films, while the Cannes Film Festival is biased towards films directed by French and American directors.

Sun Guangtai, who has served as a judge many times, pays more attention to the behind-the-scenes game from the perspective of thinking, and also said before that he is more anxious and will be entangled in what has not happened yet, it is obvious that Sun Guangtai is a little worried about what to do if Chu Shun's new work is targeted by the Cannes Film Festival jury.

At the end of the battle during the conversation, the battle situation was obvious, Sun Guangtai really conceded two goals, and after the last bloody battle, Chu Shun lost 2:11.

Chu Shun drank water and wiped his sweat with a towel, Sun Guangtai's physical fitness was really good, and only a little sweat appeared on his forehead after a game.

After drinking half a bottle of water, Chu Shun breathed a sigh of relief, and thought silently in his heart: "I'm still young, and in two years, Brother Sun's physical strength will decline, and I will definitely win." ”

When Chu Shun was still thinking about the outcome of table tennis, Sun Guangtai got up and took out a small notebook from his black sports satchel.

Chu Shun, who is nicknamed the ghost, thought of a nickname: Sun Xiaoben, or Sun Benben, low-key luxury and connotation.

"There are three directors from island countries who have won the Cannes Film Festival, the film giants Sadanosuke Kanugasa, Shohei Imamura and Akira Kurosawa, and we have always had zero in the Cannes Film Festival. Sun Guangtai said: "This is also our Chinese film, and the most people who have signed up for the Cannes Film Festival want to compete for breath." ”

Kinugasa Sadasuke is too old a director, and Chu Shun is not familiar with it, but Imamura Shohei is indeed a cow, and the connotation of "Narayama Festival Examination" is too shocking.

Shohei Imamura won the Palme d'Or twice, but only once on the Metaverse Star because "Eel", which won the award in '97, did not appear.

Chu Shun wondered if there was a chance to take "Eel" and give it to his depressed brother, and then won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Brother Sun, rest assured, "Cinema Paradiso" I mainly shoot an elegy for old-era films, and almost all of the judges of the Cannes Film Festival were born in the forties and fifties, no problem. Chu Shun also saw Sun Guangtai's anxiety, although he didn't understand what he was worried about, but he still understood it.

That's right, the reason why Cinema Paradiso is the film that swept the awards is that the film was able to conquer the judges.

After resting for more than ten minutes and eating some energy bars, Chu Shun and Sun Guangtai had another game.

Sun Guangtai told Liu Guanhong the news that Chu Shun was going to hit the Palme d'Or, mainly to know if anyone in the Directors Guild had received an invitation from the Cannes organizer to be a judge.

How do you know that Liu Guanhong attaches great importance to it, and actually killed the club directly from Jinmen.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Shun left the club, asked the hotel to pick him up in advance, and took a nap in the car.

Arriving at the hotel, I met Zhang Yuanyi, a producer of Mango Satellite TV, who was waiting in the lobby.

"Teacher Chu, are you interested in joining our show today, I really came with sincerity. Zhang Yuanyi opened his mouth for the first time.

"Director Zhang, you are really very patient, counting today, I have been back from Italy for less than a month, and you have come three times because of this matter. Chu Shun looked at Zhang Yuanyi, a little convinced.

The first time was two weeks ago, Zhang Yuanyi invited Chu Shun to participate in a variety show audition called "I Am an Actor", which is said to be the selection of the younger generation with acting skills in the contemporary era.

Also because of the recent appearance of a large number of similar programs, Mango TV is ready to be ruthless, invite Chu Shun and give two cooperation plans.

One is the in-depth cooperation of the program initiator, so if you can get part of the income of the program, you will naturally have to cooperate with the publicity unconditionally. The other is to hope that Chu Shun can give the position of an important role in the next film.

Among all the satellite TVs, Mango Satellite TV can be said to be one of the richest, and the family gives a very high price, if you change the director, maybe you really agree, because there is no director who invests in himself, he is really not as rich as he imagined, and Chu Shun has no choice.

After being rejected by Chu Shun, he came back a few days later, it was still the same set of words, and the second rejection came again today, Zhang Yuanyi was a little shameless and skinless.

"Does Director Zhang know why Liu Bei was able to succeed in the thatched cottage?" Chu Shun asked.

"Because Liu Bei is sincere, he gave Zhuge Liang great rights, which is the same as our satellite TV, Mr. Chu, if you cooperate deeply with us, you can have the right to be a producer. "Zhang Yuanyi is not only the producer of the program, but also the director of the production department, so the promise is really not empty words, it can be seen from Chu Shun's title.

"No, the reason why the three visits to the thatched house can succeed is because Zhuge Liang thinks. Chu Shun spread his hands: "But I don't want to, so Director Zhang, it's completely enough for you to waste the time on me and find another initiator." ”

Zhang Yuanyi choked for a moment, and asked lately: "Really no chance?"

"Nope. Chu Shun was decisive.

"Okay then......" When Zhang Yuanyi was about to leave, he spoke again: "Or Teacher Chu will think about it again." ”

“......”

This is annoying, Chu Shun went back to the room, and ignored Zhang Yuanyi, he felt that this product was the same as those people on the street who "considered swimming and fitness", as long as you even took a look at it in the crowd, he would immediately hit the snake with a stick and start selling it to you.

Back in the room, the housekeeper Xiao Gao told Chu Shun that there was a message from the lady.

A note that reads: [Director Chu has admired him for a long time, and I really hope to cooperate with the director, if Director Chu is willing to give me a chance, I can accept the audition.] Below is a string of phone calls, without leaving names.

"What does the person who left the note look like?" Chu Shun asked.

Xiao Gao shook his head and replied: "The note was given to me by the front desk, and I also asked the front desk, but the front desk can't remember clearly, only a little impression, she is a relatively tall woman." ”

"Okay, I know, prepare me two skewers of sizzling squid and yogurt, I'm a little hungry. Chu Shun crumpled the note and threw it into the trash, not interested.

"Does Mr. Chu like squid whiskers or squid eyes?" asked Xiao Gao.

"Can you eat squid eyes?" Chu Shun asked, as the little prince of teppanyaki, he really didn't know about this stubble.

Xiao Gao explained: "Squid eye is the name of a street food, but it is actually the round squid mouth. ”

"It's still squid whiskers. Chu Shun said.

"Understood, it will be delivered in about twenty minutes. Xiao Gaodao, after Chu Shun nodded, he closed the door softly and left.

Chu Shun put hot water on himself and prepared bubbles, and before the water in the bathtub began to be released, he received a message from Brother Blowing: "Lin Kai Pegasus Band is back." ”

After waiting for more than 20 days, the band's tour finally ended, and the soundtrack of "Paradise Cinema" could start recording, and Chu Shun did not delay preparing to go out to the concert hall.

"Xiao Gao, don't want the squid first, if you have something to do when you go out, prepare a car for me. ”

Chu Shun instructed the housekeeper that when he walked to the door of the hotel, the vehicle was ready.

Lin Kai Pegasus Band is not a well-known band, and the reason why it is so platoon to make Chu Shun wait for half a month is because the band owner is Chu Shun.

After working together in "Let the Bullets Fly" last time, Chu Shun realized that he would need to use a symphony band more times in the future, and the Pegasus Symphony Band is a relatively well-known band in China, and the standard is quite high.

After returning to China at the end of August, the band was on tour, and Chu Shun felt that there was no need to interrupt, so he completed other post-production except for the soundtrack.

In more than 20 days, Chu Shun's public release and director's version have been edited.

In addition, I would like to note that this place, which was originally called "Beijing Guoan Art Concert Hall" and is now known as "Lin Kai Concert Hall", is also his.

For more than four years, Tianyi Company has still been a famous company with a few small shrimp as an investment, but there are a lot of personal real estate unconsciously.

Not to mention the three-story houses in the Tianxing community, there is a top recording studio, a concert hall and seven convenience stores, all of which are in the capital where every inch of land is valuable.

"There are so many soundtracks this time, there are 17 songs. The orchestra conductor received the sheet music handed over by Chu Shun, and it was a thick stack.

"The movie is two hours long, so there's a little more soundtrack. Chu Shun asked, "How long will it take to start recording?"

The orchestra conductor first read through the seventeen sheet music and then said, "Although there are a lot of them, many of them are actually relatively simple, so we should be able to start recording after half a day of practice." ”

"Hmm. Chu Shun nodded and was quite satisfied with this efficiency, and he said, "Then tomorrow afternoon, you will start practicing in the morning." ”

After explaining that Chu Shun left, the band manager went to see off the boss.

The orchestra conductor immediately invited the band members to read the score.

"This big boss should be the boss who knows the most about music. The pianist said.

"Nonsense, he is the Emperor of Bear Liver, and the song "The Sun Also Rises" is enough to leave a reputation in the composition world. "Trumpet Jarate.

"Maturity. "The saxophonist is looking at the score, in fact, it is difficult to judge the quality of the music from a score, the music is to be listened to, so he asked the pianist to play it, this piece is a classic in film history.
