Chapter 102: Raise your eyebrows

Xiao Xitian, in the lounge of China Film Company, Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei sat on chairs and chatted. As the directors of "The Rape", they are particularly looking forward to today's screening. Today, all the presidents of the five major film companies in Dongying are present, if there are two or three who take a fancy to "Hoe Rape" and raise the price of each other, then "Hoe Rape" may sell at a high price.

Fang Shu next to her was not as relaxed as them, she was wearing a cheongsam for the first time, plus she was going to meet foreign guests, sitting on a chair with feet not feet, hands not hands. Zhou Lijin's situation was not much better, he was very uncomfortable with the suit and tie, he felt very uncomfortable, and he sat on the chair and twisted around, as if he had hemorrhoids.

Xu Wangqiu saw Fang Shu and Zhou Lijin's constipated expressions, and couldn't help but say: "You two relax, don't you just see Dongying people, it's not like you haven't seen Dongying people, as for being nervous like this!"

Fang Shu defended: "I'm not nervous, I'm not used to wearing cheongsam, I feel weird." ”

The cheongsam can especially show the beauty of women's lines, but during sports time, Chinese women wear particularly neutral clothes, and will try their best to cover up the curves of their bodies. It's only been three years since the movement, and everyone's concept hasn't changed, so it's understandable that Fang Shu is not used to it. Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "You are wearing too little, wear more in the future, and it will be good to wear habits." ”

Fang Shu let out a "hmm" and said, "You're really not nervous at all." ”

Xu Wangqiu said lightly: ""The Rape of the Hoe is very well filmed, and the people of Dongying are here to watch the movie, what do I have to be nervous about? Those who know themselves win, and those who are confident are strong." You don't have to be nervous if you think so. He coughed and said in Fang Shu's voice: "My Fang Shu is the most beautiful, what Kurihara Komaki, what Nakano Ryoko, all of them are not as good as me." ”

Fang Shu was amused: "I wouldn't think so, I'm not so cheeky!"

Xu Wangqiu shook his head and said, "It's not a cheeky face, it's confidence." You're better looking than Kurihara Komaki. ”

Fang Shu was a little embarrassed when she heard Xu Wangqiu praise herself for her good looks, so she quickly changed the topic: "That, by the way, Wangqiu, I heard from others that you are preparing a new play, I don't know if there is a role suitable for me?"

Xu Wangqiu knew that Fang Shu was a good actor, but "Falcon" was really not suitable for her, so he said: "Our new play is a war drama, there are very few female characters, and the important female role is only a Vietnamese female agent, who is a villain." You just played Liu Wenying, and it's not a good thing for you to play this kind of role right away. Let's have a chance to work together again in the future. ”

Fang Shu nodded slightly, she really didn't think much about the villain.

Zhou Lijin, who was next to him, heard Xu Wangqiu preparing a new play, and immediately asked, "What about me, is there a role suitable for me?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled: "Yes! Either the first male or the second male! You don't want to take on other dramas." Before playing "Hoe Rape", you trained in the army for more than a month, and this time you will play "Falcon" for even longer training, because you are playing a real soldier, a scout, and you must train the temperament of a soldier. ”

Zhou Lijin saluted like a soldier: "Guarantee to complete the mission." ”

At this moment, people from China Film Company came over to inform Xu Wangqiu that the people from the Dongying delegation came.

Soon came in and pressed a group of people, and in a suit, three women in kimonos were particularly eye-catching, they were Toei actors Sayuri Yoshinaga, Kurihara Komaki, and Nakano Ryoko. With the release of "Wangxiang" and "Manhunt" in China last year, Kurihara Komaki and Nakano Yoshiko became popular in China and became the dream lovers of thousands of Chinese men; Sayuri Yoshinaga visited China in 1977 and was the voice of the film "Dragon Prince" screened at this film week.

Xu Wangqiu was looking at the three beautiful Dongying aunts, but he heard someone in the Dongying delegation shouting "Xu Sang! Xu Sang", and he looked at it and saw that it was none other than Xiong Jingqi. He immediately knew what was going on, it must be Kei Kumai who said how good "Hoe Rape" is and how powerful the movie is, which aroused the appetite of the Dongying film delegation, and everyone wanted to see if it was really that good.

Things are similar to Xu Wangqiu's guess, Zhao Dan, as a representative of Chinese actors, communicated with the Dongying delegation. In the process of this exchange, Xiong Jingqi couldn't help but ask Zhao Dan how the situation of "Hoe Rape" was, and he couldn't stop bragging to the delegation about how powerful "Hoe Rape" was, so that everyone must watch this movie. Kei Kumai is a great director in Dongying, and his evaluation of "Hoe Rape" is so high that it naturally aroused the interest of the members of the delegation. So, they asked the Chinese side to see "Hoe Rape".

The guests have all made requests, and the host will definitely not refuse, not to mention that Zhao Dan's new film "Hoe Rape" itself has passed the censorship, and it is a very good movie, and there is nothing that cannot be watched. So, the above agreed to the request of the Dongying Film Troupe and decided to give them a special screening. Considering that the Dongying delegation may communicate after watching the movie, the film's directors Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei, as well as the male and female protagonists Zhou Lijing and Fang Shu, were also specially called.

Xu Wangqiu smiled at Xiong Jing Qi and said, "Mr. Xiong Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is the filming of "The Scales" finished?"

Kumai Qi said happily: "Yes, the filming has been completed." Originally, I was going to do the later stage, but after receiving the invitation of the delegation to visit China, I decided to come to China first, and I will be busy with the later stage when I return. I'm really looking forward to your film and I've always wanted to see it finished. He introduced to the members of the delegation: "This is the film director Mr. Xu Wangqiu, don't look at his young age, but he is a very powerful director. ”

When the people of the Dongying film delegation saw that Kei Kumai said that the eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in front of him was a film director, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they all felt incredible. It is also thanks to Kei Kumai that he has been famous for many years and has a good status in the Dongying film industry, otherwise several presidents would probably be furious, saying that Kei Kumai is joking and making fun of everyone. But even so, they don't have much to expect from "The Rape". Even if a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old has some level, how good can that level be?

The three actresses looked at Xu Wangqiu curiously, feeling incredible, they had never seen such a young director. Sayuri Yoshinaga and Kurihara Komaki are older and have a more calm personality, so they don't say anything. Ryoko Nakano has a relatively lively personality, and seeing that she is such a young director, she asked directly: "Are you really a director, how old are you?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and didn't give any explanation, but said, "I just look young." He pointed to Xie Fei and introduced to everyone: "This is director Xie Fei, and "Hoe Rape" was co-directed by the two of us. ”

Xie Fei said modestly: "No, no, the real director is Wangqiu, and I just do some auxiliary work." ”

Xu Wangqiu briefly introduced the relevant content of "Hoe Rape" and his own shooting concept to the Dongying delegation, and communicated with them for a few minutes. Subsequently, everyone came to the screening room to watch "Hoe Rape" under the leadership of China Film boss Ding Jianming.

"Hoe Rape" is a Chinese movie, and the subtitles are also pure Chinese, with no English subtitles, let alone Japanese subtitles, and the people in the Dongying delegation don't understand Chinese, so naturally they can't understand the pure Chinese "Hoe Rape". In order to solve this problem, China Film Company specially arranged simultaneous translation.

Simultaneous translation is a way in which the interpreter interprets the speaker's speech to the audience without interrupting the speaker's speech. Simultaneous translation is common in diplomatic settings, but translating movies is not new, especially in this day and age. Many of the tablets were borrowed from foreign embassies and had no translation at all. In order to solve this problem, simultaneous interpretation will be arranged, and the actor will say one sentence and the interpreter will say one sentence.

In order to entertain the guests, China Film Company specially invited a very experienced teacher from the University of International Business and Economics to serve as a simultaneous interpreter.

However, since all the lines are read by one, it is still difficult for people to enter the play. Several Dongying actors watched drowsy, just to not be rude, and looked down with a strong spirit, and secretly complained to Xiong Jingqi in their hearts, why do they propose to watch Chinese movies!

Several presidents are in a better situation than actors, they have worked with master directors including Akira Kurosawa in the film industry, and they have a certain understanding of movies and the lenses of movies. They quickly realized why Kei Kumai had such a high regard for this film, and this technique, this way of shooting, was indeed full of novelty.

Kei Kumai is mainly looking at the camera, and there is simultaneous interpretation, knowing what the characters say, he can watch it with relish. For some of these wonderful scenes and paragraphs, he applauded even more, and couldn't help but sigh, Mr. Xu is really a genius!

However, more than 50 minutes into the movie, after the battle between the hoe team and the enemy really started, all the Dongying people on the scene were shocked. They have never seen such a real war scene, as if they are in the middle of the battlefield, and they may be killed by bullets and bombs at any time. Ryoko Nakano and the sleepy actors also came to their senses, and they all entered the story, staring intently at the big screen, not even daring to blink their eyes.

After the 100-minute screening, the lights in the screening room came on.

Everyone in the delegation stood up and applauded with smiles on their faces. This applause came from the heart, and they were all shocked by "Hoe Rape". They never dreamed that the eighteen- or nineteen-year-old young man in front of them would be able to make a movie of this level and make a war movie to this extent.

Several presidents are well-informed, and they know genius directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, and Kenji Mizoguchi, but even these genius directors did not show such a terrible talent in their 20s!

It's not a genius, it's a monster. This young director is really too strong!

The Dongying people present couldn't help but think, how could he be so strong, how could he be so strong?

The movie "Hoe Rape" has really come to the forefront of the times! It is truly an epoch-making movie!

How could such a movie be born in China, where cinema is relatively backward? It shouldn't have been made by a young man of eighteen or nineteen!

But they also understand that there is no point in delving into this, the important thing is that this young man has filmed it.

The Chinese present also knew that this applause was not courteous, but from the heart, which could be seen from the eyes of the Dongying people. Before the movie was played, Dongying people's eyes were indifferent, except for Kumai Kai, no one else took it too seriously, and now their eyes were shining. The actors looked at Xu Wangqiu with awe, which is the gaze that only comes when facing a big director.

China is poor and backward, and many people are a little ashamed of themselves in the face of these glamorous Dongying people. Now the shock in the eyes of the Dongying people made the Chinese present feel a sense of raising their eyebrows, feeling that "Hoe Rape" gave everyone a long face.
