Chapter 217: Animation Festival
Chu Shun remembered that when he was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", he casually mentioned that "making a movie is still an original script, and it is refreshing, without the constraints of the original book, and you can also get the best script".
To be honest, if it weren't for the system just apologizing, he wouldn't have remembered that the system said that he had written down every word of Chu Shun, which was true.
There was Chu Shun comforting, but the system still spoke out half-loud: [I won't make the same mistake next time.] ]
"I believe in you. Chu Shun nodded, and then summoned the housekeeper Xiao Gao, and he said, "Xiao Gao give it to me...... Forget it's okay, I'll go by myself. ”
The housekeeper Xiao Gao didn't say much, just asked, "Do you need to prepare a car?"
"No, you don't. Chu Shun said, it was not so troublesome to go out to buy books, and he came to a nearby shopping mall in ten minutes, and turned around and turned to the Sisyphean Bookstore on the first floor.
The Sisyphean bookstore comes with the function of a boutique and is able to purchase many small pendants and posters.
"The Second Breath" is not famous, Chu Shun only found the book after asking the clerk.
If the autobiographer was not a wealthy man, Chu Shun estimated that the book would not have a Chinese version. The same is true on Earth, where books have been translated into more than a dozen languages before they are adapted into movies around the world.
Chu Shun found a ramen home, found Starbucks after eating, and sat down to read "Second Breath".
He doesn't like Starbucks coffee, as mentioned earlier he doesn't like coffee at all, Starbucks air conditioners are known to be cool in summer and warm in winter.
In addition to reading books outside, Chu Shun can also choose to go back to the hotel, but people occasionally always want to "look at people", "looking at people" is not to look at beautiful women, but to look at all kinds of strangers, men and women have no specific kind, they will also come forward to talk, and raise their heads from time to time to see the meeting.
Strictly speaking, this behavior is meaningless, and can only be boiled down to the need for people to "see people".
"Flaunting your wealth at the beginning? The autobiography of a rich man is really boring. Chu Shun couldn't help but smile.
[I've been covered in macaroni all over my butt since I was born.] I am the child of the families of the Duke of Pozzo di Borgo and the Marquis de Vaugue. ...... ]
After about two hours or so, Chu Shun finished reading and found that the book was actually about how the protagonist himself got out of the haze, overcame high paraplegia, and the family influence and education from childhood to adulthood.
The story of Aberdale, the conservator, is only a quarter of the book, and the second breath is not just Aberdale giving Philip a different breath, but that he will survive with his wife.
If a person watches the movie "Untouchable" first and then the original book, it will be disappointing.
Chu Shun ate three meals tonight, one at nine o'clock, then supper at eleven o'clock, and another meal at two o'clock in the morning, but I don't know why Chu Shun just didn't gain weight.
He is not the only one in the immortal cultivation group, and when he opens WeChat, there are still many people in the group chatting hotly.
Chu Shun has established a lot of groups, not to mention the crew group that filmed the movie before, as well as the "Old Men's Club" pulled by Sun Guangtai, and the "Quyi Drink" that Uncle Guan pulled into the group.
However, what attracted Chu Shun's attention was the [Magic City Film Festival Jury], and there were two people in the group who quarreled.
The reason is the discussion of the recent popular remake in film and television dramas, and the topic is derived from whether to invite traffic stars.
Su Shiji believes that "the emergence of traffic stars is the opinion of the audience, fans, investors, and too many of you, in a fundamental sense, the appearance of traffic stars in a film and television drama also represents the beginning of the festering of this film and television drama", and the other party's point of view "As long as the traffic is used correctly, it can bring good investment to film and television dramas", Su Shiji sprayed three.
Discussion develops into debate, and the root of debate is to impose one's own point of view on others, so there are very few peaceful debates, and in the end there is a quarrel.
"Why is it that every time I see Su Shiji's news, he is always quarreling with others?" Chu Shun was puzzled, and he didn't say anything, although the two had mentioned Chu Shun in their previous arguments.
Su Shiji has a piece of news: "In the final analysis, the crew uses traffic stars because they have no confidence in their works, do you see that big directors such as Lu Guozhu, Gao Yuan, and Chu Shun have invited traffic stars?"
Chu Shun pondered, in fact, it is no problem to invite traffic stars, he has a good training wave, let them match the character modeling, and then experience the role well.
Won't cut your hair?
According to Chu Shun's current status in the circle, he really doesn't believe that he will not be able to calm people, and even European and Hollywood traffic stars dare not "lamp as rice candy" (presumptuous).
Of course, the precondition for the opportunity is the need for a suitable script.
"Speaking of which, what are the movies suitable for traffic stars?" Chu Shun fell into deep thought, which stumped him.
Some movies of the King of Sunglasses do not need a lot of acting skills, and the main temperament has to be taken care of.
Take "Chongqing Forest" as an example, where do you go to find Faye Wong, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Lin Qingxia?
One thing to say, the king of sunglasses is too apt to find actors.
Peeping at the screen until about three o'clock in the morning, he was sleepy, but then Chu Shun received a phone call, which suddenly made him sleepy dissipate, and immediately asked the hotel to prepare a car and drove to the Temple of Heaven Hospital.
At night, it was dark, and there was a swarm of reporters around the entrance of the hospital, and the lights were like nails piercing the black curtain, and Chu Shun felt very dazzling when he sat in the hotel car.
Hospital security guards were maintaining order at the scene, not knowing where the sharks smelled blood.
Chu Shun asked the driver to park the car on the side of the road, he came to the emergency room from the side door, a bunch of people were walking in the corridor, and Chu Shun knew the two Gu Su and Humpty Dumpty.
"What's going on with the stomach?" Chu Shun asked directly.
That's right, it was Gu Su's call just now, Wei Changwei was pushed into the emergency room, although there was no gathering after the sweet finale banquet, but the contact on WeChat was still constant.
Before the New Year, Wei Changwei sent him blessings and New Year's greetings.
"Not long ago, I received the role of director Liu Shanggu as the male number one, so I asked him to pay attention, and then when I came back today, I was hit by a sudden car while crossing the crosswalk. The agent said: "I am only less than ten steps away from the stomach locally, and the key is that the stomach is obviously a green light when crossing the road." ”
"Running a red light and hitting someone, what about the driver who caused the accident?" Chu Shun's expression froze, and then asked, "Have you contacted your stomach family?"
"The driver who caused the accident ran away at that time. The agent said: "As for the family......" He wanted to say but stopped.
Now the roads are all monitored, so the driver who caused the accident will definitely not be able to run, Chu Shun is very strange why he stopped talking about the topic of his family.
Gu Su next to him said with an atmosphere: "Changwei's parents are divorced, and the phone on my father's side can't get through, and after my mother gets through, she says that she doesn't have time to go to the hospital, and urges her to hurry up and call this month's living expenses." ”
"???" Chu Shun took a deep breath and asked, "Didn't you tell her that her stomach and intestines are dying, and it is not certain whether she can be rescued or not." ”
"That's it. The agent said immediately, and Gu Shu next to her also nodded, and she heard the agent contact.
"Call my stomach dad, it's better to have a family by his side for this kind of thing. Chu Shun pressed all the complicated thoughts in his mind.
The agent nodded and went outside to make a call.
The relationship between Gu Su and Wei Changwei is a drama and now a couple, so she is now six gods and no master.
About ten minutes later, the agent came back with a sad face, and he said, "It's always been a hang-up and can't get through...... And in fact, his parents have never been to the hospital before, and I have always been with him. ”
Chu Shun didn't want to express any opinion on Wei Changwei's parents, when he was in "Sweet Honey" before, because Gu Shu reminded him in time, he was able to dodge, and it can also be said that there was no danger.
In his heart, Chu Shun could half-jokingly say that Wei Changwei was really a moldy god, but now the word "moldy god" was completely driven out of his mind.
This is human life, this is not a joke.
Now Chu Shun can understand a little bit why Wei Changwei has to take over an important role even if he may be injured, except for the love of movies, perhaps because of family factors, he has a tendency to self-destruct.
The waiting time was a little anxious, and I didn't know how long it was, the doctor opened the door of the emergency room, and the agent and Gu Su hurriedly rushed up to inquire about the situation.
Chu Shun listened from behind, according to the doctor, Wei Changwei was very lucky, there were no fatal injuries, and he should have protected his head with his hands, there was a slight concussion, but there were no bleeding spots.
It can be seen that Wei Changwei is really experienced and has strong emergency measures to protect himself.
Although it was not life-threatening, he suffered a comminuted fracture of his lower leg, a contusion to his elbow, and a bloody bruise on his entire piece of skin, as well as an open fracture of his left little thumb, not to mention other minor injuries on his body.
The patient hasn't woken up yet, so he can't go in right away.
However, when they heard that Wei Changwei was fine, Gu Shu and his agent breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tell the company about this immediately, and your organization will issue a statement on Weibo to explain the situation in detail. Chu Shun said to the agent that there were so many reporters outside just now, if all the accidents were reported by the media, there would be seventeen or eighteen versions.
"Okay, I'll handle it right away. The agent also seemed to wake up from a dream, Wei Changwei had been injured many times before, it was the first time that it was so serious, and he was still a little flustered, but Chu Shun's rational arrangement made him a lot more stable.
Maybe it's because the role is so good?
Liu Shanggu is the director of the golden age of Xiangjiang, but he is different from Niu Zhou, Liu Shanggu is the first batch to enter the mainland market, a bit similar to Lin Chaoxian on the earth, and is extremely skilled in the use of Hollywood commercial films.
"Let the Bullets Fly" is 2.3 billion, "The Matrix" is 3.4 billion, and Chu Shun also has two of them listed in the domestic TOP20.
And there is also "Fatal ID" with 1.12 billion ranking 63rd in China, and Chu Shun is strictly speaking extremely successful in the business field.
Off topic, Liu Shanggu is preparing to shoot a series of action and gunfight movies for mercenary squads, so Wei Changwei's male lead is equivalent to getting a movie series.
"Crispy, you stay and take care of your stomach, call me if you have anything. "Chu Shun is ready to leave, since he is out of danger of his life, he can't visit now, and it's useless to stay here any longer.
"It's really troublesome for Director Chu to run. Gu Su said, her answer was to regard herself as the master.
Chu Shun left the hospital from the side door, and when he came, the vehicle was still waiting on the side of the road, and Chu Shun let him drive to the riverside to take a turn, and then returned to the hotel after blowing the river breeze.
I don't know if it's Wei Changwei's matter, or if it's a great achievement in cultivating immortals, the sleepy worm was completely driven away, Chu Shun got up and started to write the script of "Untouchable", since he wants to go to France to see Philip to buy the copyright, he needs to show sincerity, he can't say that he is a big director, and others must agree in the past.
The biggest difference in plot between "Untouchable" and "Second Breath" is that in the movie, it is a black migrant paramedic, while in reality it is a white paramedic.
Chu Shun thinks that this change is quite good, so that in addition to exploring "what is respect" and "what is friendship", the life of black immigrants in France is also deeply discussed, the aforementioned French 93 district.
The script was written until eleven o'clock at noon the next day, and Chu Shun was still not sleepy, but after lunch...... A cloud of tiredness "praise" is thrown on the face, and the eyes can't be opened.
"When I wanted to sleep, I just got up and hi, and now I want to be hi, and I'm so sleepy. ”
Sartre said that the greatest unfreedom in life is that you cannot get rid of it. This thing is philosophical thinking, unrealistic, Chu Shun said realistic, people's greatest unfreedom is that the body and will can not be unified, about sleeping at this time, can the brain and body discuss and then give feedback?
I went back to my room and slept with my head covered, and I didn't get up until nine o'clock in the evening.
Wei Changwei woke up after two days of coma and recuperated in the hospital, and the doctor said that it would take at least three months to be discharged, and Liu Shanggu's films have been approved and are responsible to the management, even if the director appreciates the actors, it is useless.
The bad news is that Wei Changwei's role is lost, and the good news is that the driver who caused the accident was also caught, and he was drunk driving.
Chu Shun went to the hospital to see it again, and Wei Changwei on the hospital bed was still giggling, as if he hadn't lost his role due to a car accident.
After finishing the script and storyboard of "Untouchable", it has reached March.
"Tokyo Godfather" was signed up for the Annecy Animation Festival in mid-January, and the production of the peripherals was completed, and the island nation was very efficient in this regard.
This time, Chu Shun did not buy a peripheral production company in one go, mainly because he didn't know if he would have the opportunity to shoot animation again in the future, and even if he had the opportunity, it might be Hollywood animation.
For example, "Dream Travel", "Mind Agent", "The Voice of Joy" or something, I will talk about it again.
There are three types of peripherals of "Tokyo Godfather", the most basic is the poster and pendant, because the characters such as Ah Hua and Lao Jin are too ugly, and the baby does not look beautiful, so the key pendant is the word "Qingzi".
The second type is the card cooperation, that is, the game company Capcom, which has produced a game similar to Temple Run, "Ah Hua", "Lao Jin", and "Miyuki" Three characters are optional, holding a baby in the city to avoid sudden danger.
Not to mention, the game was completed in only forty-five days, and Capcom still has the level of production as long as he doesn't.
The third category of peripherals is the most powerful, just looking at the items are ordinary crosses, but looking at the box that packs the cross, it is clearly written ["Tokyo Godfather" The Holy Son is coming, blessed by divine power!]
Chu Shun felt that the surrounding area was mainly a box, otherwise it would really make no difference.
There are not only crosses but also ornaments, the front is the Virgin Mary hugging the child, and the back is Ah Hua hugging Xiaoqingzi, the old professional.
As mentioned earlier, the Annecy Animation Festival is different from the rest of the animation festivals and film festivals, and there is no difference in the various units, mainly composed of exhibition halls, exchange meetings, market pre-order meetings and creative meetings.
The simplified process is to release the film first, then buy the peripherals, the filmmaker thinks it is good, talk about the transaction, and finally get together to talk about life.
It can also be seen that there are two options for Annecy's shortlisted films, the first is to release "Tokyo Godfather" first and come to the exhibition peripherals. The second is to take the traditional film festival model, packaging or packaging foreign copyrights to film manufacturers.
Chu Shun went with the main creative team, and Gu Bu, Jiang Zhao, Er Liang, Zhao Xi and others from the second building block animation company participated for the first time.
