Chapter 289: What Is a Good Director
[This time my thoughts are not at all different from that of the teacher of Shiji, there is a plot in the back, it is Joshua eating at the banquet, and then saying thank you in Italian, almost caught, the beautiful life is a structure of two, there are no useless fragments in the plot, deliberately shown, just to express the words of the doctor, the ducklings quack, the platypus sizzle, that is, the difference between German and Italian.]
As I said earlier, Guido guessed riddles very well, so Guido didn't say anything, and his desperate gaze was because he understood the doctor's meaning and couldn't save the child's despair.
The most important thing is, if Dr. Lessing is really a decryption madman, as the only German in the film who has a lot of scenes, what is trying to express?
One of the people who was Aite was called the Cup Bow Society, Chu Shun's old acquaintance, and he was not an acquaintance, he once cooperated with "Kill Bill", and the original rookie director has now become the world's top director, and he still runs the account, the only change is that there are more fans than seven years ago, and the money for Cha Fan is more expensive than before.
Su Shiji does not have as many fans on the Internet as the Cup Bow Society, but in reality, he is quite a famous film critic, and he has served as a judge of the Golden Rooster Awards, so these Internet big Vs are very happy to discuss. There is a saying that the fastest way to achieve the same status as celebrities is to start a debate with celebrities, and it is best if you can scold them.
To use an analogy, in fact, there are many people who scold Mr. Lu Xun, but Mr. Lu Xun has always been only the one who is famous, and as for those who are not famous, unless you write a very novel scolding word, you will not be ignored.
In addition, I don't know if the Cup and Bow Club did it on purpose, and typed Su Shiji's name wrong.
Su Shiji is also old and strong, fighting against four big Vs on the Internet, and netizens who eat melons are hi for a while, which attracts some viewers who were originally not interested in "Beautiful Life", and they also want to know what the content is, because the plot is so lively on the Internet.
"It's really an experience baby, and it has risen by 12,000 fans in one afternoon. "The Cup Bow Club is full of motivation.
"When can I go to Weibo Night? The Cup and Bow Club looked at the invitations of other big Vs to post Weibo nights, and he could only look at it, feeling envious and jealous.
"Anyway, I'm also someone who knows Principal Chu, and I really don't give any noodles at all. The Cup Bow Club said to himself, yes, the most bragging point he has now is Chu Shun's phone, and he will send blessing text messages every New Year, although the other party has never replied, but many actors are not even qualified not to reply.
"Beautiful Life" sold particularly well in Europe, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Germany contributed 98 million US dollars in the first week of the world, and Hollywood also had a box office of more than 60 million because of Rhea's active promotion and the fact that people have not forgotten Chu Shun's big ship, ranking second in the weekly box office in North America, and the global combined box office of this literary film in the first week was actually 300 million US dollars.
Like China, the box office in other countries fell sharply in the second week, with less than $100 million worldwide.
In a month, "Beautiful Life" was also drawn, with a total global box office of 530 million US dollars.
It is very high, and it can even be said that it is not in the same field as other literary films, but Chu Shun knows very well that there is a feature film on the earth called "Joker", which is more literary and artistic, but the global box office has 1.05 billion US dollars, which is basically twice that of "Beautiful Life".
When it comes to marketing, Hollywood's marketing promotion is really powerful.
Chu Shun rested at home for half a month, in fact, it can't be said to be a break, it can only be said that he didn't shoot a movie, but there are really a lot of things about the "chief director", there were originally two assistant directors in this matter, but almost everything was decided by Chu Shun.
In fact, the two assistant directors are also under great psychological pressure, they are directors trained by CCTV itself, and the films they shoot are all purchased by CCTV, the audience must be unfamiliar, but the status is still there, the two are in their thirties and forties, they are all people who were rolled out of CCTV, and they asked a familiar person about Chu Shun's character before coming.
The two came to a common conclusion that Director Chu Shun is a very one-word and thoughtful person, so there is this scene.
In fact, there are not many things about the 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, three advertisements, two galas, a dinner, and finally a celebration ceremony.
If you want to grasp the scale, you can't make it too grand in any case, because it is true that the island country has done such a thing, and people have no right to say "I forgive you" on behalf of the victims, but at the same time, in the contemporary Sino-Japanese attitude, you can't say that you can beat all the island people to death with one shot.
Remember the history and let the Chinese name return to the top of the world, so the degree of publicity should be very good.
The advertisement, logo and dinner party layout, Chu Shun was all arranged in the month after the release of "Beautiful Life".
The fifth "Seminar on Propaganda Celebrations", the two assistant directors seated, as well as the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Central Propaganda Department.
According to the news sent by the island country, the day before yesterday, the special propaganda and establishment of diplomatic relations group announced that Ushijima Junchai would come to China to learn from the experience and shoot an animated film with the theme of China. Said the Foreign Ministry staff.
The reason why it was discussed five times was because the previous attacks of the assistant director and the plans of the Central Propaganda Department were all vetoed by Chu Shun.
Even if Chu Shun has won "Kikujiro's Summer", it is impossible to stand up directly and say that he will shoot a movie with the theme of an island country, which does not show his importance, so in the first four meetings, Chu Shun did not put forward any opinions, just waiting for news from the island country.
Hearing the words of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff, Chu Shun's eyes lit up, but he quickly returned to his calm demeanor, and he said: "Is Ushijima Toshiba the director who filmed "Dolphin Boy" and "Heavenly Dog"?"
The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nodded, Ushijima Junshiba is currently the No. 1 box office in the island country and the fifth in the world as an animation director.
"Hmm...... Let's start with your plan. Chu Shun looked at the two assistant directors.
The two assistant directors looked at the plan in their hands, if there was no news that Ushijima Toshiba was going to shoot an animation with the theme of Huaxia, then their planning would be completely fine, but now it seems a little out of place.
In general, both of them want to make some traditional Chinese crafts and send them over, just like the chimes of the first time they proposed a plan.
In order to publicize, the island country deliberately asked Ushijima Junchai to come to China to shoot and shoot the story of China.
"Director Chu Shun, we haven't come up with any good plans at the moment. The two assistant directors looked at each other for a few seconds, and the younger one spoke.
"Director Li, do you have any ideas?" Chu Shun asked the staff of the Central Propaganda Department.
In fact, this sentence is not asked by Director Li himself, but by asking if there are any thoughts above
"Actually, this kind of thing is done by a professional like Director Chu, and I can't talk nonsense, but when Director Chu asked, I will express a little opinion. ”
Director Li of the Central Propaganda Department paused, and muttered for a moment before speaking.
He said: "Director Ushijima Junchai is the most famous animation director in the island country in the world, and the only director who is the most famous in our country and internationally is Director Chu." ”
It's only half of what to say, and the above words are to ask Chu Shun to shoot an animation similar to "Tokyo Godfather", so that both sides are the same, plus Chu Shun's fame is far greater than Ushijima Junchai, so the height is also there.
But it is impossible for the state to force Chu Shun to shoot, firstly, it is unnecessary, and secondly, Chu Shun's reputation and influence in society are also very great.
"What Director Wang means is that I also shoot an animated film with the theme of island countries?" Chu Shun said.
"That's for the best. Director Wang nodded: "An animated film like "Tokyo Godfather" is very suitable, and Director Chu, as the chief director of the entire publicity, is also very suitable. ”
Chu Shun fell into thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the meeting was very quiet.
Director Wang was very calm on the surface, but his eyes kept paying attention to Chu Shun, and the task given to him above was to let Chu Shun shoot as much as possible.
The two assistant directors also wanted Chu Shun to agree, because he agreed that this matter would be done like this, and they would have fewer things.
The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no expression, and he had nothing to do with this matter.
"Yes, yes, yes. After more than a minute, Chu Shun spoke, and he could clearly feel Director Wang's relief.
Director Wang immediately said: "Director Chu, in terms of investment, you can rest assured, your filming country invests, and you only need the right to use publicity during this time, and the copyright of the film still belongs to Director Chu." ”
This is equivalent to the state giving money to make a movie, and does not want copyright, which is indeed a very generous condition.
"I understand, I mean, island countries shoot animated films because animation is their pillar industry, and if we are also animated films, will we be a little suspicious of following the trend. Chu Shun said.
"Hmm...... It seems to be true. Director Wang thought about it, although Chinese animation used to be able to play all over the world, but now it really can't win against Hollywood and island countries.
"It is possible to shoot live-action films. Chu Shun asked.
"Live-action films, will it be too hasty?" Director Wang asked, in his opinion, shooting animated films is much simpler than shooting live-action films, don't ask where this impression comes from, many people who don't know this impression are this impression.
"I didn't have any problems making films. Chu Shun said very plainly.
The two assistant directors gasped, so big, but at the same time, the two knew very well that they couldn't refute it yet.
Because it is convenient to shoot movies, Chu Shun is really powerful.
"The shooting period was very short, because in September, the campaign was about to start. Director Wang hesitated.
The Berlinale closed in early March, and then "Life is Beautiful" was released in mid-March, and now it's April 19, with just over four months left before the start of the event, which is really not enough time to shoot a live-action film with post-editing.
"Because Beautiful Life is in a hurry to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, it only takes four months to add the post-production stage, and I also transfer to two cities on the way. "Chu Shun is reasonable, in fact, it has been less than four months, mainly because he is relatively low-key.
This kind of national activity, once it goes wrong, it is a shame for the country, like the Spring Festival Gala was exposed to a lot of fake singing, fake singing is actually normal, because once you make a mistake......
Therefore, Director Wang had to be careful not to be real, and when he heard Chu Shun's words, he nodded with confidence.
Director Wang really doesn't know how to make movies, but he knows that a beautiful life is a good movie, so there is enough time.
"That's the best. Director Wang smiled, and he said, "It's going to be hard for Director Chu, if you have any questions about shooting, you can contact me at any time." ”
Chu Shun replied with a smile: "Patriotic things are not hard. ”
If someone else said this, Director Wang must have felt that he was talking empty words, but combined with Chu Shun's donation of 300 million US dollars.
Everyone present couldn't help but admire, what a patriotic director.
Even if he receives a task temporarily, he can pick it up on one shoulder, not only on one shoulder, but also take the initiative to change from an animated film to a live-action movie for the sake of the country's face.
What does it mean to be a good director?
That's it!
"Many people say that young directors have no sense of responsibility, but I really don't think so, Chu Shun's sense of responsibility is not comparable to many directors of the older generation. Director Wang said to himself.
After the celebration ceremony, the meeting was dismissed after a while.
The two assistant directors of CCTV wanted to shoot with Chu Shun and also served as assistant directors.
Chu Shun has a good relationship with CCTV, and it is not appropriate to completely put aside the director trained by CCTV, but he is also the deputy director of the event, so he nodded and agreed.
Returning to the hotel from the conference room, Chu Shun looked at the script that had been written, and the storyboard of "Kikujiro's Summer" was finished.
The main thing is to be idle and idle, just write first, no way people are too diligent.
"It's been a really hard day, I haven't eaten lunch, so I'll eat more in the evening to comfort myself. Chu Shun pondered, and then asked Xiao Gao to buy a ten-inch red velvet cake.
"Is it Mr. Chu's birthday today?" Xiao Gao said, and his mind began to think about the surprise of the birthday celebration.
"No, buy it as a snack and eat it casually. Chu Shun replied.
"......" Xiao Gao wants to remind that the ten-inch cake is very big, and generally only buys eight inches on birthdays, and the ten-inch cake is basically a big cake eaten by seven or eight people.
Eating and playing?
But in line with the words that shouldn't be asked, Xiao Gao still nodded, and then said: "There is no pastry chef in the hotel, so you need to go outside to make a reservation, it should take one to three hours to make it, can Mr. Chu?"
"No problem. Chu Shun thought about it and sent it over at one o'clock in the morning, just to have a supper.
casually asked Xiao Gao to bring seafood baked rice, found a movie to watch after the meal, and at twelve o'clock, a strange phone call was connected.
"Where is Director Chu Shun?"
The opening was a familiar and unfamiliar voice, Chu Shun felt that the reason for the familiarity was that the voice was familiar, but the strangeness was obviously a foreigner speaking Huaxia dialect, which sounded very awkward.
"Is it Robert?" asked Chu Shun.
Rob on the other side of the phone nodded and resumed his English and said, "It seems that my Chinese is good, and Director Chu Shun knew it was me as soon as he heard it." ”
...... "It's okay if you're happy, Chu Shun didn't say anything, but Robert's call should be about the release of the documentary "With the Movie".
