Chapter 180: Tokyo Is Not Hot, But It's Hard (Part II) (2/5)
Bestseller?
Director Lu immediately thought of the "Legend of the Demon Cat" mentioned by the auxiliary, which is adapted from "Shamen Konghai: Tang Ghost Banquet"...
This movie has a good evaluation - in addition to the name "Kukai" being complained about in various ways, many people think that it tells the life of Kukai, but it turns out to tell the story of a cat!
“… Is Japan interested in the theme of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Yes... You want to shoot the Three Kingdoms?"
“… Wait until I'm sixty... What about the Ming Dynasty? What is your impression of the Ming Dynasty?"
Sato looked at Lu Xiaoran, and then said, "It's not good!"
That's right, it is inferred from the flood of Japanese pirates: they think that the Ming Dynasty is a very rich country dominated by the old, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant...
“…”
But in the battle of Wanli to aid Korea, the Ming army killed the Japanese army and abandoned their armor!
Between countries, wars are often accompanied by exchanges. Japanese people especially like to fight with each other first, and then weigh their opponents.
Let's put it this way, in the five wars between China and Japan, except for the one between the Mongols and the Qing Dynasty, all three were won - as long as the Han people are in power, foreigners are not worried!
Lu Xiaoran didn't give up, and asked again: "No one is interested in Jinyiwei?"
"Jin Yiwei?"
"Ming Dynasty secret service!"
“… I don't know..."
"Okay, when I didn't say it!"
I was thinking if I could promote "Embroidered Spring Knife"...
"Embroidered Spring Knife" is done, Boss Lu has thought about releasing it directly, but he always feels that it is inappropriate, this movie has to do with Daming Jianghu...
If it can become popular in District 11 and feed back to the country, it will also be excellent!
However, listening to Sato's meaning, it seems that he doesn't have any impression of the Ming Dynasty...
However, he is quite confident in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and thinks that winning 1 billion yen at the box office will not be a problem!
……
In fact, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is best associated with "Dragon Gate Inn"...
Then the entire Daming rivers and lakes are deduced.
Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Jianghu forces;
There is also a west factory interspersed in the middle...
If possible, plus the Japanese forces...
This pattern has to do!
The question is whether "Embroidered Spring Knife" can be a big hit...
Walking out of the izakaya, Lu Xiaoran dialed Li Huangtu, the head of the game department.
He used to be at Northern Lights Studios, and of course he was poached by Orange - specializing in game development.
"Have you done the Jinyi Guard game I told you?"
"It's already being done, didn't you say that the simultaneous movie was launched?"
"You must pay attention to the quality, I'll see if I can push the Japanese benzene side..."
"Boss, don't take too big a step, get the domestic market first!"
“… Alright, the game is up to you. ”
Hanging up the phone, Boss Lu was a little depressed, why didn't he understand Lao Tzu's pattern?
Lao Tzu wants to use games to drive movies!
But it's just thinking about it, the local game industry in Japan is developed enough, and it's difficult whether a game like "Jin Yiwei" can be popular!
However, in China, the game "Embroidered Spring Knife" movie "Jinyiwei" was launched simultaneously to create IP, and it may be successful.
……
Takeshi Kitano may be the most abstract one Director Lu has ever seen, with small eyes, a big head, facial paralysis on the right half of his face due to a car accident, and a particularly weird muscle texture.
Especially when he laughed, the corner of his mouth did not move, and then he grinned in an oblique arc on his left.
It is said that girls like this crooked smile very much, bad and handsome...
But you are an old man in your fifties, and you can only feel obscene and perverted.
Mr. Lu came here to meet him this time.
Takeshi Kitano has the title of Emperor of Japanese Benzene Movies!
Hollywood will visit Wu Jing when it enters the mainland market in the future, and it is normal for Lu Xiaoran to come to Japan to visit Takeshi Kitano.
Takeshi Kitano has a lot of connections in the Japanese film circle, to take the simplest example, his office is a sponsor of the Tokyo FILMeX International Film Festival, and the Tokyo FILMeX International Film Festival has come out of a bunch of film talents, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, Lou Huohua...
The old man skillfully fiddled with a set of tea utensils, and said: "Actually, I have always wanted to meet you, "Fireworks in the Day" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, which is really a success of Asian films!"
“… I'm here to visit you!"
Takeshi Kitano tinkered for a long time, and finally made three cups of tea - and one for the translator.
He was wearing a traditional kimono, with wide sleeves, his right hand stretched out, and he smiled, "Please!"
"Thank you!"
When strangers meet, they always have to start with topics that are familiar to each other, so Ning Hao keeps lying down.
"At that time, I watched "Incense" for the first time and thought it was really good, and then I watched "Green Meadow". It's just as good, but then I watched "Crazy Stone" and it really changed a lot. It used to be a realistic social relationship, and the shots were smooth and not fancy. I didn't start with a stone, and I started to add a lot of business thinking. The language of the film is very subversive, that kind of very young visual style. ”
"It should still be a change in the environment, when filming "Incense", Ning Hao was still in school, and the people he came into contact with were all students. When it comes to stone, material has become the first element of life, plus the market encourages commercial films..."
"Humanistic thinking is lost!"
"It's not a loss, it's a constantly changing perception of the world. ”
"This time your "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is an entertainment film?"
"Well, pure entertainment. ”
"It's good to be young, you can try different genres, I can't..."
This sentence is not modest, when Takeshi Kitano was young, "Kikujiro's Summer", "Fireworks", "Bad Boy's Sky", almost every movie was written and directed by himself, he served as an editor, and sometimes starred himself...
What now?
"Extremely Evil" is three films in one shot!
It is very important for directors to establish their own style. When making a movie, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in technology to a certain extent, and style is very important at this time.
Style can be eaten for a lifetime!
For example, Wu Baige, even if "Taiping Wheel" failed miserably, he could still get funds to do "Hunt"...
However, once a certain age has passed, the twilight fills the work, and the craftsmanship comes out!
……
For Japanese benzene movies, Lu Xiaoran doesn't know a lot, Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, Kenji Mizoguchi, Hayao Miyazaki...
In addition, there is Hirokazu Kore-eda.
Takeshi Kitano's films, he has seen "Kikujiro's Summer" and "Hanabi", which are all his works ten years ago...
But the old guy is funny, and he doesn't have that kind of disdain for commercial films.
It's a pity that when we met for the first time, I was embarrassed to talk about women.
Takeshi Kitano is a very interesting person, just say something that happened to him:
Takeshi Kitano is a fan of Momoe Yamaguchi, and he said it when he appeared on TV because he liked Momoe Yamaguchi very much when he was young, but she retired too early and didn't see him.
So when filming "Extremely Evil", she used her husband Miura Tomokazu to play the second male lead, just to meet Yamaguchi Momoe when discussing the script at Miura's house.
But no matter how many times he went to Miura's house to drink tea, Momoe Yamaguchi never appeared as the hostess of the house, so the way for the disappointed director Takeshi Kitano to take revenge was...
By the time of the next "Extremely Evil 2", the gang leader played by Tomokazu Miura was killed as soon as he appeared.
If I can't see your wife, I'll write you (ー_ー)!! to death
It's true!
Tease a...
