Chapter 269: Strange Request

With the arrival of famous foreign directors one by one, the reporters squatting outside the school have a great ability to accept it, and at the same time, they not only have an estimate of Chu Shun's influence in China, but also have a new concept of influence abroad.

"Exaggerating Lao Tie, is that person Zibo? I'm not dazzled, wasn't the White Demon Dao 3 before Zibo abused by Chu Shun?" The surging reporter rubbed his eyes, staring at a bearded foreigner who stepped out of the car, very familiar.

Zibo was indeed an invitation sent by Chu Shun, White Magic 3 was originally nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but unfortunately it was intercepted by the big ship, and then Zibo was very depressed, but after receiving Chu Shun's invitation, his mood seemed to be better......

"It's too early to say that Chu Shun is the world's No. 1, Chu Shun is still too young, but Chu Shun is definitely the most appealing director in the world. The reporter of Southern Entertainment sighed that he had already thought of today's news headlines.

Not to mention these tabloid reporters who don't have an invitation letter outside the school gate, in the auditorium, the school is also panicking now, even if they are Beiying, world-renowned directors or something, they have seen more than one or two, but such a large number of them are really defenseless, and the students who came to volunteer today are really earned.

"Is Director Chu a summoner? Shake more than 20 world-class directors. As an invited reporter, Xiao Ou was able to enter the auditorium to shoot an interview, and the shock of seeing this scene was not low at all.

Xiao Ou doesn't know who to interview, there are too many big names.

made a phone call to communicate with the editor-in-chief, there is a chance to interview Chu Shun, if there is no chance, Zibo, Cauchy, Guy, and Odya can interview any one, and finally as the elder editor-in-chief, he reminded him, don't interview Kurabao Konosuke, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

"Director Chu Shun, is the new work a comedy movie?" said Cauchy, who had already said hello at the Oscar dinner earlier, so they all knew each other.

"The news spreads so fast?" Chu Shun posted a message on Weibo only before yesterday.

When Cauchy smiled on his face, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened a lot, and he said: "The works after the Titanic, of course, are a little bit of a wind and grass, and major companies will pay attention to them." ”

"It's not an exaggeration at all, even my agent is talking about it. Furlong nodded.

The message posted on Weibo was transferred to Twitter almost within ten minutes, and it will not be on the hot search abroad or anything, but it is very popular in the Hollywood circle? Many people were relieved to learn the theme of the next drama "Beautiful Life"? The reason is very simple, "White Magic Guide 3" has failed, what if it is changed to another movie? I don't know how I died.

I just wanted to fool my friends abroad? The foreigners also saw it, which was an unexpected joy for Chu Shun.

"Director Chu Shun? There's one thing I've never been able to figure out. Director Peter asked? Where did he go because of his age and seniority? So when he spoke, no one interjected.

"If you change your shooting technique according to the theme of the film, how can you avoid your own shooting habits? Even if you shoot with puppets, it is very difficult to do it. Peter raised his biggest doubts about Chu Shun in his recent research.

Because in control of everything? So you can change it at will? It sounds reasonable, but Peter Waite always felt that something was wrong, and when he went back to research, he found that after the photography, lighting, screenwriting, art direction and other aspects were controlled by one person, shouldn't the style be more concentrated?

Are the habits and styles of every famous director fixed? Like Shunji Iwai, the overall style is clear and scattered? Chen Kaige likes to allegory stories, and Johnny To is static and violent? Er Dongsheng's film style has a kind of sharp and realistic romance. Everyone in the circle knows that the difference between a famous director and an ordinary director is that he has formed his own unique lens language style? is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

The lens language of Iwai Shunjisan's culture, if you encounter a film like "Love Letter"? What a beautiful sight? almost encapsulates the charm of the island country's winter, but the filming of "Vampire", a new and strong story of conflict, makes people look like a cat scratching.

Chen Kaige didn't mention "Farewell My Concubine", the allegorical story "The Child King" is very good, but once you start to meddle in the story and want to complete the unification of the lens language to the script, there will be films such as "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" and "Mei Lanfang".

Not to mention Johnny To, "Gunfire", "Dark Flower", and "Dark War" are all manifestations of static violence, especially the shopping mall shootout in the midst of gunfire, which is called a stunning, but too much pursuit of static will become "Gorgeous Office Workers".

In the end, Er Dongsheng, "Shinjuku Incident", "Mong Kok Dark Night", "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" series of realistic anti-heroic movies, although the evaluation is a little polarized, but it is indeed a needle, the excavation of people on the margins of society is very deep, once you want to bring this kind of excavation into the ancient costume, you will not adapt to the soil and water appeared "The Sword of the Third Young Master".

The styles of the above-mentioned directors are also varied, but these rules are completely irrelevant to Chu Shun, and eleven films can't find any connection except Sicily and Paradise Cinema.

Director Peter Waite's question instantly attracted the attention of a group of directors around him, including Odia, who was the first to introduce the term "with the film" in Europe.

Under the watchful eye, Chu Shun's heart is not false at all, he read a lot of papers and reports on movies at home and abroad some time ago, isn't this as simple as the author "borrowing" this chapter and saying that crowdfunding to write a book?

"Director Peter, you value style too much. Chu Shun said: "I decided to shoot a story, which originated from inspiration, and then began to refine this inspiration, and conceived in my mind, how this inspiration should be storyboarded, how this inspiration should be moved, what is its overall art style, I don't think about what my style is." ”

Chu Shun said categorically: "If you insist on my style as a director, I think it is [with inspiration]. ”

"How did the system make this statement? I was so touched that I almost believed it myself. Chu Shun asked in his heart.

[100 points.] The system answers.

Chu Shun nodded with satisfaction, looking at everyone thoughtfully, even if Director Peter Waite felt that it seemed that what he said was the same as not saying it, he threw away this feeling in the next second, and the deity himself said it, and if he asked again, he was a little bit fine, he wanted to learn to follow the movie, not to come to the construction site to lift the bar.

"I remembered. When Chu Shun's eyes swept over the people present, a flash of inspiration flashed, he always felt that Director Cauchy in front of him was like a person, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and now when he talks about the actor, Chu Shun thinks that he doesn't look like a certain director on the earth, but like Al Pacino, the actor who played the godfather.

"That's why the Titanic is so different from "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and "Cinema Paradiso"?"

He said: "In the memory trilogy, only the Titanic has a very different style, and the other two are the same, I think the inspiration is different." ”

Odia couldn't help but nodded, it is true that whether it is CefalΓΉ or Syracuse, it is just a small town in Sicily, and it is very scientific to shoot with autumn sunshine and a hint of cold lens language, and the story of the Titanic takes place on a big ship, and it is definitely not scientific to shoot in this style.

Peter Waite also feels that Zib's words have a point: "I can't imagine what it would be like to shoot a story on a ship in the style of Cinema Paradiso. ”

If there is a chance, Chu Shun thinks that Director Peter is over eighty years old, and he doesn't know if he has the opportunity to see "The Pianist at Sea".

"And recently Vava also arranged a plan. Chu Shun said: "She invited the documentary director Mr. Robert, who will record my filming process of "Beautiful Life", and when the documentary is released, the details of my directing should be clearer." ”

Furla, Cauchy, Peter and other directors were moved when they heard this, as the saying goes, there is no picture and no truth, and having a video is the best.

"I'm looking forward to new films and documentaries", "It's really the best way to use a documentary", "I never thought that I would be so looking forward to a documentary one day......

The documentary "With the Movie (1)" has not yet started filming, it has already attracted the attention of insiders, to be precise, the documentary itself is shot for insiders and a small group of audiences, a very simple example "Zhang Yimou and his "Shadow"", how many people know about this documentary film? Basically the same as what Robert wrote down to be filmed, recording Zhang Yimou's filming of "Shadow" The whole process, from the actors to the props, is a comprehensive display, and the journal articles about Zhang Yimou's video style are very frequently cited in this documentary.

The directors talk very naturally, much more naturally than the Oscar dinner, because it is not so inhibited.

"There should be more Italian directors. Odya regretted a little in his heart, because he found that because Hollywood had the most directors and knew each other, he basically surrounded Chu Shun, and Odya couldn't interject at all.

Odya was a little angry, he was the first person to recognize Chu Shun's talent.

In about half an hour, the things that should have arrived and those who shouldn't have arrived came.

Naturally, it was Chu Shun who sent the invitation, and it shouldn't be the uninvited stars, as well as the reporters who mixed in, although Beiying's security is still quite strict, but there are many ways to stop the paparazzi.

The school also knows, but these paparazzi just want big news, don't make trouble, and turn a blind eye, and those who have scruples will always scruple about people who don't.

The inauguration ceremony of the [Director Chu Shun Encouragement Award] officially began, first the leader of Beiying, President Hu, came to the stage to speak, about to say why this award was established, and after speaking, Chu Shun was invited to the stage to speak a few words.

"My first film was a freshman, and "Six Grids" hit the box office, the investment in the first film was not large, and the story was relatively simple. Chu Shun also recalled the past, and said: "I started filming "Kill Bill" in my sophomore year, which is an online movie, and the threshold is very low."

The students below listened to Chu Shun speak on the stage.

"The six-panel story is still simple, it's all classic, but I can't understand what is being filmed. ”

"Is the threshold for killing Bill low? I remember that it was also an investment of tens of millions, and now it is still the first online movie divide. ”

"It's hard to get investment, and although the school has sponsorship for shooting, it's almost only at the time of the graduation project. ”

Chu Xiaotian looked at his uncle on the stage, his mouth was full of swords, and many famous directors listened, and there were special people to translate into English simultaneously. He has always felt that it is not a big deal to be able to talk harshly, and the great thing is to make others listen to you quietly.

"Student directors are the future of the film industry. Chu Shun finally ended with an official sentence: "So I hope you can shoot more good works." ”

The encouragement award also has a trophy, it can also be called the golden pigeon award, the overall shape is a pigeon, the edge of the base is the pattern of olive branches, and then carefully look at the lines of the wings on both sides of the pigeon, you can see the words "Chu" and "Shun".

The shape of the trophy is designed by Chu Shun, there is nothing else, mainly for peace, the dove of peace holding an olive branch, and the guest of honor is also Chu Shun.

The first [Chu Shun Director Encouragement Award] was won by a student in the senior year of Beiying, a short film filmed was very popular on the Internet, the first Golden Pigeon Award must be a way for the students of Beiying, it is impossible to send the award for the establishment of Beiying, the first was taken by the Chinese opera or the upper play, it is not scientific, and the second session is based on their own ability.

The lively event also ended, and the school originally expected to get an hour, but it didn't expect to drag on for three hours.

After the end, the directors present must have been stopped by the reporters, Chu Shun left the school after answering two questions, and did not forget to find Chu Xiaotian to encourage him before leaving.

"Hopefully one day, you can get this trophy. Chu Shun said this, Chu Xiaotian also set a goal for himself in his heart, he must get an encouragement award before graduation.

Because there were a lot of reporters at the door, Chu Shun walked through the parking lot and was about to go through the side door, when he happened to run into Imamura and others.

The main reason is that in comparison, Hollywood directors are more popular, so Imamura and others are okay with reporters.

Finally met alone, Imamura Man enthusiastically opened his mouth to invite Chu Shun to dinner, Chu Shun agreed, he didn't know Imamura Man, but he was very familiar with Sakamoto Section Chief, and every time he went to the island country, Sakamoto Section Chief was busy, so this invitation still had to be accepted.

Inside a restaurant nearby.

"Director Chu, you are in the island country, the reason why you shoot animation instead of choosing live-action movies is also to see the dilemma of live-action movies in the island country?"

"......" Chu Shun nodded slightly expressionless at the moment, and he made up: "The live-action movies of the island country have not appeared in the past few years, and there are very few influential works even in Asia. ”

Chu Shun knew about this because when he was working at the Tokyo Film Festival, he found that none of the films that won the Golden Kirin Award in recent years went to the island country.

Imamura man followed Miyamoto Shigeta, and the two saw Chu Shun Chengzhu in his chest, everything was expected, don't be a little excited.

"Director Chu, please be able to give us guidance!" Imamura bowed, and Miyamoto beside him also bowed.

In fact, this is not the Dihua of the two, the more the two analyze "The Godfather of Tokyo", the more they think that this script can be filmed in a live-action version, and even from the perspective of "Paradise Cinema" and "Untouchable", the live-action version may be better filmed, but it is not.

"It's a dilemma, but it's also an opportunity. Chu Shun said: "Do you know what the island country's current live-action movies represent?"

Section Chief Sakamoto, Imamura Nan, Miyamoto Shigeta and others shook their heads in unison, waiting for Chu Shun's last sentence.

"It means that the people of the island country have a minimum of anticipation for your live-action films, so as long as you shoot a good film, you can get good feedback. Chu Shun said: "If there is a prosperous film market, it is difficult to change the form of content, just like the Hollywood market, industrialization is becoming more and more serious, but a low-grade film market, the future can go that far, filmmakers can decide for themselves." ”

On the domestic side, Chu Shun is talking chicken soup to Section Chief Sakamoto and others, and it is not quiet abroad, in CAA, one of the largest brokerage companies in Hollywood.

"Cady, Director Chu Shun sent an invitation to audition. The assistant immediately said.

"Director Chu Shun?" Cady's eyes lit up, on the one hand, Director Chu Shun is very good at training actors, and on the other hand, no one understands better than Chu Shun when it comes to praising celebrities, is the opportunity finally his turn? !

Cady immediately asked, "When?" is there anything you can prepare? ”

A week later, the director didn't send the script. The assistant immediately said, and also attached information: "A total of two people were invited to this audition, and the other is Fan Punk." ”

Hearing the familiar Van Punk, Cady took a deep breath and reminded himself to calm down, obviously many reporters said that his acting skills were similar to Van Punk, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, the difference is one line. But Van Punk has an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award, and he doesn't have a single actor title, so he is envious and jealous.

"I have a solution...... I think it should make the chances of success in the audition even greater. The assistant stopped talking.

"There's a way to say it quickly. Cadi listened.

"Mr. Perth of our company has cooperated with director Chu Shun of the Matrix, and we can ask Mr. Perth for some experience. The assistant said, "I know that you and Mr. Parsons have no friendship, but at least you can say a few words." ”

Cady's expression moved, and he felt that this method was credible, and Perth was also the actor who played Morpheus, and he had talked a few words at the company's anniversary event before, and he could not be said to be a complete stranger.

Just do it, Cady immediately found Perth, although the latter is black, but he does not have the status of "black gold", and his personality is not bad, which is why Brother Blowing picked Perth as a candidate, if the character is not good, it will be very troublesome to do things in the crew.

The two exchanged pleasantries for more than 20 minutes, and after dinner, Cardy got to the point: "Mr. Perth, I received an audition invitation from Director Chu Shun......"

"Congratulations. Perth immediately said: "Hollywood actors, even my nanny know that the film directed by Chu Shun is a very good opportunity." ”

"I understand, but the problem I'm facing right now is that there's still someone who has been invited to audition. ”

"It's Van Punk, so I'd like to ask Mr. Perth if there's anything I need to prepare for the audition. Kadi said.

With that, Perth understood why he had come to him with a bottle of red wine for a drink, but he also thought hard about it and was ready to give advice, because Van Punk and he were completely strangers.

"No matter what strange request Director Chu Shun makes, you don't have to ask why, just do it. Perth remembered the months of intensive training and Mirek, who had just passed away last year, and was in a trance for a while.

The words themselves were fine, but Cady, who didn't know the inside story, especially the phrase "strange request", saw Perth's reminiscing expression, and his brain froze.
