At this time, Kurosawa Akira felt like an old man in his nineties. Lin Hai had the heart to comfort, but he didn't know what to say.

"Do you walk on two legs......"

Akira Kurosawa let out a long sigh and shook his head: "What kind of Japanese movie is walking on two legs, it's just a prosthetic leg imported from the outside......"

Lin Hai was silent.

If you think about it, Kurosawa's words are not unreasonable.

It is true that Japanese cinema is doing well in both the artistic and commercial spheres, but few Asian countries will study Japanese cinema as an object of study.

Why?

Because the degree of Westernization of Japanese films is too high, stripping off the cloak of culture, from production technology to operation methods, it is completely copied from Hollywood.

In that case, why should other countries go to the near and far? Wouldn't it be better to learn directly from Hollywood, which has a larger industry and more mature technology?

……

"To be honest, I envy you. ”

Kurosawa said, "You still have a chance to defend against the invasion, and we only have the prosperity left after the fall." ”

After saying that, he shook his head and said, "No, you shouldn't say that. It should be said that you still have the courage to resist, but Japanese filmmakers don't even have the courage to resist. ”

This topic is very heavy, and Lin Hai doesn't know what to say.

Japan is the main overseas dumping ground for Hollywood films, and in the nearly two decades since Lin Haihai came to Japan, the only local live-action film at the top of the annual box office list in Japan - "Jumping the Search Line 2" - even if this only remaining success is a theatrical version of a TV series after it airs, rather than a movie in the traditional sense.

This reflects another sticking point in Japanese commercial cinema.

Copied Hollywood, but it was too small in terms of production costs, and the special effects funds were used to make animation, and live-action movies could only pick up some leftover cold leftovers from animation.

In contrast, although Chinese films were once beaten to the north, filmmakers have never given up and are willing to spend money, so no matter how criticized those commercial films are later, at least at the box office, they have won back face for the Chinese people.

Of course, the box office can't tell everything, China, South Korea and Japan have their own sore spots, and if you want to say that you can walk on two legs, India may be the most stable in Asia.

……

"Don't talk about these bad things. ”

Kurosawa's depressed mood came and went quickly, and he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I'm about to die, what does it have to do with me in the future!"

After saying that, the domineering Akira Kurosawa is back.

Kurosawa turned back to the woman behind him and said, "Hanako, you told Director Chen Kaige that you snubbed him after chatting for a while, and I hope he doesn't mind." You tell him that if he wants to compete for the box office, then he will fight, but don't lose the unique cultural heritage. I'm looking forward to his new movie and I'll definitely be watching it when it's released!"

The last sentence he had said before, but this time it was clearly much more sincere.

A woman named Hanako relayed Kurosawa's words to Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige and Lin Hai looked at each other, but they didn't expect this woman to speak Chinese very well.

Fortunately, he didn't say something behind Kurosawa's back, and this old monster actually hid a hand!

Lin Hai can also understand Kurosawa's deep intentions - he doesn't want Chen Kaige to be dissatisfied with Lin Hai.

Chen Kaige smiled magnificently and said, "I will regard your words as a spur to myself, in terms of shooting, I happen to have some places I want to ask you for advice......"

Chen Kaige put forward some shooting ideas and asked Kurosawa Akira for suggestions, Kurosawa waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the director of this movie, ask me what I do......"

Talking about not interfering, Kurosawa still talked about some of his own ideas.

Kurosawa was very talkative, and before he knew it, the sky was getting dark.

The woman whispered a reminder, Kurosawa glanced up, and said, "It's really ashamed to delay you for so long to chat with me as a bad old man, so I won't leave you to eat." ”

Lin Hai and Chen Kaige didn't dare to say goodbye.

Kurosawa personally sent the two out of the door, and as expected, there were many reporters waiting outside.

Seeing the three of them come out, reporters rushed up at once, and asked them what they were talking about.

"Shut up!" Kurosawa roared, causing the scene to fall silent.

The reporters looked at the tall old man, recalled the rumors about him, and involuntarily took a few steps back.

A dying lion is also a lion, and provoking him at this time will not end well.

Kurosawa stopped the scene and shook hands with Chen Kaige to say goodbye.

The driver in charge of picking up the person opened the car door, Lin Hai followed behind Chen Kaige, and was about to get into the car, when Kurosawa suddenly called out to him.

"Boy, you wait!"

Lin Hai turned his head and waited for Kurosawa's next step.

However, Kurosawa didn't say anything after calling out to Lin Hai, but turned around and whispered to the woman, who immediately returned to the courtyard.

Kurosawa didn't speak, and Lin Hai had to wait quietly.

The reporters couldn't figure out what was going on, and they didn't dare to ask because of Kurosawa's prestige, so they got together and whispered.

"What is the origin of this teenager?"

"Who knows. Could it be the heir of which consortium?"

"Look at the clothes don't look like they, and besides, the tyrant will give face to the big corporations?"

"That's right, after all, it's someone who doesn't even care about the prime minister......

"Hey, this boy seems to be ......"

"What, what do you know?"

"Hurry up, don't sell it! or ......"

Faced with the threats around him, the young reporter who recognized Lin Hai swallowed his spit and decided to confess.

"A friend of mine who does music showed me a picture of this teenager who looked a bit like him...... My friend works at Swing-Journal...... This boy seems to have been a guest performer for Kazumi Watanabe......"

The young reporter said that he was not sure, that film and jazz sound like entertainment industries, but in fact, they are like mountains of interlacing, and it is difficult to connect a young jazz musician with a great director who is internationally acclaimed.

"It's him!" another reporter patted his head and said to the people around him, "I just said it looked familiar...... I met him at the Cannes Film Festival and he did the soundtrack for Tokyo Eye!"

That's right, the soundtrack and the movie are clearly inextricably linked.

Some are nodding, others are questioning.

"Didn't the French make the later part of Tokyo Eye? besides, he's still a teenager......"

"Are there still fewer teenagers who become famous?"

"The question is, have you heard of him before......?

The reporters were noisy, forgetting the purpose of the trip for a while (Chen Kaige), and all turned their eyes to Lin Hai, thinking that when the unsightly tyrant left, they must stop this young man and ask him clearly.

……

After waiting for three minutes, Lin Hai couldn't help but walk up to Kurosawa Akira and whispered, "May I ask ......"

"What's the matter?

"No, what I'm trying to say is, wouldn't it be inappropriate?"

"You have a Chinese idiom called "Seedlings grow", I want to see if you will become a towering tree or a straw. ”

After Kurosawa finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai had no choice but to wait patiently.

After a few more minutes, the woman in the kimono walked out with a tightly wrapped painting.

Hearing her footsteps, Kurosawa opened his eyes, took the painting, and handed it to Lin Hai himself.

Kurosawa didn't deliberately lower his voice, but deliberately raised his voice a little and said, "The painting I gave you before was burned by you, and I'm still satisfied with this painting and gave it to you." ”

When the reporters heard this, they were in an uproar.

Kurosawa's artistic attainments, which are well-known, he took the initiative to give away paintings, and everyone will be grateful to Dade for his offering, and this teenager actually burned the paintings?

Listen to the meaning, or did you burn it in front of Akira Kurosawa?

This......

The reporters were dumbfounded, and they all thought -

How did this kid survive until now?

……

Lin Hai ignored the strange eyes around him, accepted the painting, and said sincerely: "I will collect this painting well." ”

Kurosawa waved his hand: "I said, what is given to you is yours, and you can do whatever you want." ”

"I'll keep it in my collection. Lin Hai emphasized, and then said embarrassedly: "It's just that my art attainments are too shallow, I'm afraid it will make the pearl ......dusty."

"You don't know how to draw?" Kurosawa asked suddenly.

Lin Hai said embarrassedly: "Hmm." Stick figures may be fine, but the more complex ones don't understand......"

He has already put gold on his face, and his painting level is estimated to be inferior to the ginger lines of the mudstone school.

"Hmm......"

Kurosawa pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever thought about being a director?"

"I should try it when I have the opportunity in the future, but for the time being, I am more concerned about music and acting ......"

Before Lin Hai could finish speaking, Kurosawa interrupted him.

"I didn't say that now, if you want to be a director, you are not qualified now. Not to mention anything else, you can't even draw well, what are you talking about making movies!"

"What you taught is that. ”

"It's good that you understand. Kurosawa nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "So, are you interested in worshipping me as a teacher?"

……

Finally squeezed back into the car, closed the car door tightly, and carefully put the painting away, Lin Hai rubbed his temples that were a little swollen from excitement and began to be in a daze.

"Excited?" asked Chen Kaige.

"What?" Lin Hai came back to his senses.

"The matter of apprenticeship. Chen Kaige said with a smile: "Being able to learn painting with Akira Kurosawa is an opportunity that even I envy." ”

"Hmm...... Huh?"

Lin Hai looked at Chen Kaige suddenly, and the other party's expression that seemed to be smiling confirmed the guess in his heart.

"Do you know Japanese?" asked Lin Hai dumbfounded.

"Isn't it strange?" Chen Kaige asked rhetorically, and said seriously: "In our era, we wanted to study foreign movies, but no one specially helped make subtitles......"

At this, he burst out laughing, and he couldn't hide his smugness in his laughter.

Lin Hai was speechless, and suddenly felt that Kurosawa's words were very reasonable, he wanted to be a director, and there was indeed a long way to go.

Look, there is a woman who understands Chinese hidden behind Kurosawa, Chen Kaige knows Japanese and pretends to be stupid, only Lin Hai is kept in the dark, and he is stupid to help others translate.

Shame, shame!

Seeing Chen Kaige's unhappy look, Lin Hai said dissatisfiedly: "In that case, why do you pretend not to understand?

"Otherwise, where did you get the opportunity to perform?" Chen Kaige changed the topic without changing his face and said: "Your interpretation of the film is fantastic, if you miss today's incident, I don't know that you actually hide half of it." What do you think? I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate people?"

Yes, he said good things, and in turn he beat him upside down.

Lin Hai sighed unhurriedly: "Isn't the script unfinished, what if it is written as a popcorn movie?"

"Don't!"

Chen Kaige heard the threat in Lin Hai's words, and suddenly became anxious: "Now that the big words have been spoken, if you really dare to mess around, believe it or not, I will kill you?"
