"Welcome, weary and poor, huddled together and eager to breathe freely, bustling, poor people, hand over to me these homeless and beleaguered people. I stood at the golden gate, holding aloft the lamp of freedom. ”

Chu Shun muttered Nasaraki's sonnet "The New Giant", the last five sentences.

The reason why this poem is famous is because it is carved on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, and the reason why Chu Shun will recite this is because he feels that as long as he pronounces these words, it is like being yin and yang in the United States.

Waiting for people at the airport, the person who picked up the plane never arrived, Chu Shun stood at the arrival gate for a while, stood with a little back pain, and found a place to sit down.

Today's luck was not good, the plane should have arrived earlier, when it was over Los Angeles International Airport, I don't know what happened, it took half an hour to land, forty minutes later than scheduled, but even so, the guide was still late, really well done.

Chu Shun's next itinerary was to go to the hotel first, then to Robert's studio, and finally to the Los Angeles branch of Disney Pictures, which was a cumbersome itinerary, so Robert found a local director.

Americans, there really is still no island country will arrange, look at Sakamoto Section Chief.

"I'm sorry Director Chu Shun, I'm really sorry. ”

About fifteen minutes later, Chu Shun bought a Coca-Cola at the vending machine, and when he was about to finish drinking, a Latino man in his thirties came running.

The low- and middle-end service industries in the United States are almost generally Latino.

"The car I was driving was rear-ended, so it was late. The ground guide explained first, and also took out his mobile phone, which contained pictures of the car accident, proving that he was not lying.

"I'm really sorry, I was supposed to ask my colleague to come over to pick up Director Chu Shun immediately, but the police didn't let me call, and they kept checking. As he spoke, the guide took his luggage.

Although I don't know why I was rear-ended, and I had to be interrogated by the police to restrict my freedom, it was definitely not because of race, Chu Shun said the doghead.

"Take me to the hotel first. Chu Shun said.

"W Hotel on the Avenue of Fame, right? Okay, I see. The Latino director first asked and answered himself, and then said: "The car is in the parking lot, Director Chu Shun, please come with me." ”

It takes about forty minutes to travel and a distance of more than twenty kilometers to reach the destination.

The room booked by Chu Shun is the wonderful suite of the W Hotel, the price is not expensive more than 4,000 soft girls a night, and the room has 77 square meters, compared to Tokyo and Osaka, 77 square meters of suites cannot be so cheap.

W Hotel is not a luxury hotel in Los Angeles, but it is conveniently located just over 400 meters from the Walk of Fame.

After checking in at the hotel, I put down my luggage and arrived at Robert's studio with a local guide.

said that it is a studio, but it is actually a place where the second floor of his villa is renovated, in addition to shooting documentaries, he will also accept advertising shooting, don't look at Loki has been following Robert as an assistant director, and he has also won the design creative lion of the Cannes advertising festival.

I came to the studio to see other materials, and you must know that the documentary crew followed the crew of "Life is Beautiful" for several months, with a total of more than 1,500 hours of footage, which was eventually edited into a 109-minute documentary film.

Chu Shun also wants to keep a copy of the material that was subtracted, and he can donate it to Beiying in the future.

Pick up a copy and go with Robert to the Disney branch, headquartered in Burbank, California.

"Welcome Director Chu Shun, as well as Mr. Robert and Mr. Rocky to our company. Dougon greeted.

As a guide, Douggen gave a general tour of the company and mainly talked about the process of the premiere the day after tomorrow.

The arrangement is very proper, and Chu Shun has no opinion.

Time came to the premiere day of "With the Movie", and Chu Shun rested in the hotel in the middle and did not go out.

The premiere venue is the famous Huaxia Grand Theater, which is about 27 meters high, and is the proud work of the king of the theater, which is supported by two coral-red pillars with a copper roof, and the most impressive thing is the decoration of the black fangs on the pillars, which is strange and scary.

If you look closer, you can see that there are two stone lions at the door, which are a little small.

The Kodak Theater in front of the Oscars is next to it, and on the left is Madame Tussauds.

When Chu Shun heard this statement, he couldn't help but sigh, he really knew how to bundle sales, and the main reason why he chose this place was that it was spacious.

On Oscar night, forget who told Chu Shun to come, the two best theaters in Los Angeles are the Kodak Theater and this.

The cost of renting a day is not high, but the scene is really not small, especially the people present, the director is Chu Shun and Robert invited over, and the media is found by Disney.

The release of the documentary itself, there is really no such a big battle, because there are really few people who pay attention to the documentary, let alone buy tickets to watch the movie, no one watches it on the Internet and TV for free.

Besides, there was another group of people at the premiere, which was very powerful, and the Oscars couldn't invite this group of people.

For example, Michel is the editor-in-chief of the current editor-in-chief of the "Film Handbook", a well-known monthly film magazine, founded by André Bazin, the "father of the spirit of cinema", the most authoritative film professional publication in Europe, which can be said to have given birth to the French film New Wave.

The current editor-in-chief of Sight & Sound, one of the oldest film magazines in the UK.

A tall and tall white man in his fifties, but still wearing glasses, somewhat similar to Stallone's figure, wearing a suit and tie, and posing as Sven named Mailer, is the current editor-in-chief of "Village Voice".

In addition, there are also Kishida Qilang, editor-in-chief of "Film Review", Jules, editor-in-chief of "Film Review", etc., there will be too many names for a while and a half, and it is difficult to record, anyway, the editors-in-chief of major film academic journals, including "Screen", "Film History", "Film Quarterly", etc. are all present.

"The editors-in-chief who don't usually attend the premiere are all here by themselves, what kind of influence is this. Douggen was also quite surprised.

"We are underestimating the boss. Robert pondered.

Robert is very excited now, because there are so many bigwigs who come to watch his documentary, although he knows very much that it is all for "Chu Shun" and "with the movie" and "puppet shooting", and it has nothing to do with him, but it is also the pinnacle of life.

Drive a Mercedes-Benz, do BMW, and ...... gaming chairs Ahem, the movie theater is full of people.

He still remembers that when he was studying, a classmate published a paper on "Village Voice", Robert was really envious, he didn't dare to submit it to a publication of "Village Voice" at all, and he knew that he was noble.

Now that Mailer, the editor-in-chief of "Village Voices", has come to see his documentary, Robert himself is at the end.

Don't think that these film journals seem to be sought after by the circle, the editor-in-chief Mailer is at best a film theorist, and at a small level, he is just talking and not doing anything.

No, let's talk about another French film critic on the same level as André Bazin, Jean Mitri.

In the past, long shots and montages were incompatible, long shots felt that montage was an insult to film art, while montage thought that long shots were ridiculous, and they didn't know how to use them.

Mitri, a film theorist, is an eclectic, and he believes that both can serve cinema, which now seems to be a common thing, and many of them are studied by film theorists.

The channels through which these film theorists published their research were publications, and rather, to be precise, journals and critics at some point advanced the film industry, both technically and technically.

Outsiders look useless, and in the eyes of traditional directors like Robert and Loki, they are even bigger than Dougane.

"Today is the pinnacle of my life! Basically, the editors-in-chief of all the journals in the world are gathered, whose movie can have so many bigwigs present?" Robert Bullhead asked Loki: "What do you think of Loki?"

"There has never been a director who can have such a great reputation in the commercial, artistic and academic circles at the same time, director Chu Shun is really exaggerated. Loki finally stopped repeating the machine, because he was also dazzled by the group of bigwigs in front of him.

Don't think that artistic directors are popular in academic circles, just look at what many European art directors are sprayed into.

The audience looks at the special effects, the plot and the characters, the film critics look at the connotation, the academic circle looks at the skills, Cameron is said by the film critics that the plot is brainless and has no connotation, but whether it is underwater shooting or 3D film technology progress, it has been praised by the academic circle.

"Mailer, you're here too?" Michelle looked at the old acquaintance.

"I never thought that there was a shooting technique that could make the film style colorful and witness a scene in film history, and I couldn't be absent. Saying that, Mailer coughed twice, he was as strong as Stallone, but in fact, because he was sick, he cut off half of his stomach, so he was not in good health.

Michelle can be said to be thin, wearing a small suit on her body, and her shoulders still look a little big.

But Michelle is thin, quite healthy, often participates in amateur marathons, the first time she participated because she was old and ignorant, she didn't wear a chest patch, so she grinded out blood......

"Cinema Paradiso and The Matrix couldn't have been the same person from the writer to the director, the final editor and art director, and even the soundtrack, but I never imagined that they were the same person. Michelle said: "I can't believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes." ”

"What I admire the most is "Six Grids" filmed by director Chu Shun. Jules suddenly interjected: "If it was filmed by other directors, I would definitely think that this is a movie that even my dog Tom would not want to watch, but it is different if the director is Chu Shun." ”

"The director who is the most lacking in filming skills is Chu Shun, whether it is the beautiful legend of Sicily [film within a movie] technique, or the [rotating stop-motion long shot] in "The Matrix", he sees it as a kaleidoscope of shooting skills. ”

As soon as Jules spoke, the weak strong man Mailer immediately turned his head and did not want to communicate with him, but Michelle continued to listen to him for the sake of face.

"I can't see the slightest bit of skill in "Six Grids", it's really a work that completely strips away the technique, and this film wants us to know what the film itself is, a very thoughtful work. Jules said: "Unfortunately, "Six Grids" is currently only available in Japanese, French and Chinese, and very few people have seen it, and I also read the French version." ”

Having said all this, the old man Jules wants to express that few people have seen this movie, but he has seen it.

Mailer doesn't like Jules, the main reason is that he is the editor-in-chief of "Film Review", which is a publication of the Film Publishing Society of Lincoln Center, has a high status, but he has set up a [Critics' Choice] module, which gives five evaluations of film works: outstanding, must-see, worth watching, mediocre, and unclear.

The last "unclear" assessment, which Mailer thinks is simply insulting the film.

The circle of the academic circle is the second most exaggerated of all circles, second only to the political circle, so the more than 40 editors-in-chief on the spot are divided into seven factions.

On the one hand, "Film Review" is not welcomed, and on the other hand, Jules is an Eastern European Jew, so Michelle is very perfunctory about the following conversation

Jules also has his own circle, and after seeing the reaction of Mailer and Michelle, he turned around and integrated into his circle to chat.

Kishida Qilang walked over, and went up directly to say hello to Chu Shun, and the other editors-in-chief were also a little "reserved", plus there was really no intersection, so they were all chatting in their own small circles, and they were familiar with the island people.

"Director Chu, Sakamoto-san has mentioned it to me many times, and it is the first time we met. Kishida Qilang greeted him, he can be said to be the immediate boss of Section Chief Sakamoto.

"Is Kikujiro's Summer a live-action movie? Kishida Qilang took the initiative to provoke a topic.

The news of Brother Blow's selection of actors in the island country has been spread all over the world, and basically more than half of the actors in the island country have sent their intentions to Brother Blow.

Besides, if Brother Blowing is a little more lustful, he can die directly in the island country.

"At the moment, the script and storyboard are written. Chu Shun said: "I'm also looking forward to "Mountain City Story". ”

That's right, Ushijima Toshiba was finally filmed in Yamashiro, in Ushijima's words, because this city is the most fairytale city, and the name of the animated film is "Tales of Yamashiro".

"Ushijima-san is still too big a gap compared to Director Chu. Kishida Qilang said: "Director Chu is the light of our Asia. ”

"If you praise me like that, I'll take it seriously. Chu Shun said, and Kishida Qilang was a little stunned.

"Of course it has to be taken seriously. Kishida said immediately after returning to his senses.

"Let's talk after watching the documentary. ”

"Okay. Kishida nodded.

Chu Shun left first after saying goodbye, and he had something to explain to Robert.

Looking around, Chu Shun saw Robert and Loki and walked over.

"A little bit when the movie starts, you go on stage to speak. Chu Shun said to Robert.

Speaking of facts, Robert is the director and editor of "With the Movie", and there is no accident that he should come to the stage to say a few words, but the critics in the audience are all coming to Chu Shun.

"It's not good, it's still the boss you come to the stage. Robert immediately refused.

"You are the director, and you should be on stage. Chu Shun said: "You can't change anything because the audience below is different, the director needs to be stable." ”

"But......" Robert nervous.

"Say no more, I believe you. Chu Shun patted Robert, and then returned to his seat, the screening was about to start.

Another reason why Robert rubs his hands to relieve his own tension is that the [tail wagging and flicking] he likes to use in documentary filming is a technique mentioned in the paper "Photography and Aesthetic Creation" published a few years ago by the editor-in-chief Michelle.

To put it bluntly, in the equivalent of a teacher's generation, it's no wonder that Robert is not nervous.

In pretending to force this project, Chu Shun has always refused to let it, this time it is not a conscience discovery, the main reason why it is given to Robert is that sometimes outsiders praise it more authentically than saying it himself.

Rhetorically speaking, this is called "side support".
