Xavier and Lin Hai hated to meet each other late, and strongly invited him to dinner. Originally, I wanted to invite Watanabe, but Watanabe had a radio announcement in the evening, so he declined the invitation.

Someone invited him to dinner, Lin Hai naturally wouldn't refuse, but when he got to the place, he regretted it-

It's not the expected French meal, but the unlucky kaiseki cuisine.

Lin Hai has always believed that the most deceptive and unreasonable thing in Japanese cuisine is kaiseki cuisine, which, like French cuisine, is a form of dining with a strong sense of ritual, but the amount of dishes is pitiful.

Eating is equivalent to not eating, and even more hungry after eating, this is what I am talking about.

What makes Lin Hai mind even more is that this guy Kawai is a little too attentive to Oshima Xiaomei, and it seems that this meal is clearly a drunkard's intention not to drink.

Fortunately, Xiaomei Oshima has no feelings for Kawai, otherwise Lin Hai is really worried that when he wakes up one day, there will be an extra golden retriever in the apartment.

……

The Japanese have a very special way of dealing with feelings, unlike the West, which emphasizes the unity of the soul and the flesh, nor the Chinese that emphasizes the unity of one heart, whether they deal with strangers or between husband and wife, they maintain a certain sense of distance, so they give people a sense of indifference.

In fact, this is not apathy, just a form of self-preservation.

The natural environment is full of disasters and disasters, so that the Japanese people have maintained enough reverence for the things around them since the barbaric period, so they have formed eight million gods and formed an indifferent concept of survival.

It's hard to say whether this concept is good or not, and the way of treating relatives as guests seems unreasonable to Chinese, but it does reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, and Japan's ability to maintain the lowest divorce rate in Asia has a lot to do with this politeness.

Even though the hint was rejected, Kawai still behaved decently, but his mood was somewhat low, like a golden retriever who had just been caught in the rain.

Lin Hai secretly felt amused, thinking that Oshima Xiaomei obviously did not meet the Japanese definition of a good wife and mother, and he didn't know how Kawai could fall in love with her at first sight.

"What did you say?"

Because his attention was on the golden retriever, Lin Hai didn't hear what Xavier said.

Xavier repeated: "Are you interested in film scores? I just finished a job, and your performance has inspired me a lot, and I want to ask you to help bring these inspirations to life, for a fee, of course." ”

Lin Hai was of course interested, so he said, "Are you sure you want to make changes to the finished work?"

"I'm sure. ”

Xavier replied in the affirmative. You could call him hypocritical, but he really can't stand the existence of flaws.

……

Lin Hai didn't expect that the banquet would not be a good banquet, but let him pick up a serious job.

It's not a gratuitous help, it's paid.

Who is going to have trouble with money?

Lin Hai casually mentioned it to Akimi Oshima, and without waiting for her to speak, he then asked Xavier: "What type of movie?"

Akimi Oshima followed up and asked, "Will the crew agree?"

In order for both of them to understand, Xavier said in Japanese: "It's just a revision, the crew won't object, as for the type of movie - if it's convenient for you, come to the hotel with me after dinner to see the finished film, and meet the producer by the way......"

Although Xavier's Japanese stumbled, both of them understood it, and he was not sure about his feelings.

Even so, Akimi Oshima said decisively: "Then what are you waiting for, go now!"

It is very rude to be anti-customer-oriented in this way.

Out of the restaurant, Lin Hai got out of Oshima Xiaomi's car and said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry, right?"

Oshima Xiaomei said indifferently: "That foreigner doesn't mind, besides, if I don't come out, I'm going to starve to death!"

She said that she conjured up a bunch of snacks out of nowhere, and said, "You pad your stomach first, and I'll take you to a big meal after we finish talking!"

I see.

Lin Hai's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current.

I looked away before, this woman is clearly thick and thin, she is not rude, she is just worried that Lin Hai is hungry.

However, she seems to have overlooked certain details?

Lin Hai silently mourned for Kawai, it seems that Uncle Golden Retriever really has no sense of existence in Oshima Xiaomei's heart.

……

When he arrived at the hotel, Lin Hai realized why the crew did not invite domestic composers from Japan, but invited Xavier, a foreigner.

This is a Japanese-French co-production film.

Xavier found a Japanese producer and told the other party that he was going to tell him, and although the other party looked reluctant, he reluctantly agreed. Several people went to Xavier's room together, and the producer and Akimi Oshima talked about the salary, while the others watched the movie on Xavier's laptop.

Speaking of which, both digital cinema and DVD technology are still relatively new, and watching movies on a computer – even if compressed – is absolutely new.

Lin Hai felt that he had guessed the filming intention of this movie, and it was probably related to digital movies.

Yes, although the standard for DVD was developed by Toshiba and Sony, digital cinema technology is mainly promoted by Western countries such as the United States and France.

In this way, the film, called "Tokyo-Eyes," is more experimental.

……

If you only listen to the title, many people may subconsciously associate the Ferris wheel.

In fact, "Tokyo Eye" has nothing to do with the Ferris wheel, this is a movie about "eyes".

The story goes like this-

A mysterious "four-eyed maniac" appears on the streets of Tokyo, who lynches the scum of society with a pistol, but fails to hit each time (deliberately). His whereabouts are mysterious, which makes the police helpless, until "Four Eyes" meets the girl Hina, and love makes "Four Eyes" evaporate from the world and return to his original appearance "K"......

"Speaking of which, your name is also K, if I met you earlier, the casting director wouldn't have to worry so much. ”

Xavier said with regret.

In his opinion, Lin Hai's image and temperament and even age are very suitable for this film, and the most important thing is to understand French, and there is no barrier to communication with the director, which is not possessed by Shinji Takeda as the male lead.

As for whether Lin Hai has acting skills, Xavier directly ignored it.

At a certain level, art is touch-by-kind, and the construction of musical intentions requires an excellent sense of picture.

But it's all filmed, and it's useless to say this.

……

Lin Hai pressed the pause button and asked Xavier, "How are you going to change it?"

He hadn't seen the film and didn't know anything about the plot, but through the language of music, he could roughly guess what kind of style it was—scrutiny in the absurd, sharp but not intense contradictions, and a touch of tragedy.

Needless to say, the experimental literary film is gone.

It seems that it is not the Japanese hugging the French thighs, but the French hugging the Japanese thighs-

Most directors inevitably have to make experimental works in their lifetime, after all, film technology is always evolving, and theoretical learning alone is not enough. Unlike those stupid directors in China, the French obviously play cards well, use Japanese money to play tickets, and there is no loss in success or failure.

It's no wonder that the Japanese producers have a bitter face, and it is estimated that they were tossed by the French.

"I wanted to add a layer of noise to the original soundtrack......"

Xavier was about to say to revise his thinking, when Akimi Oshima over there suddenly let out an exclamation - "Only three days?!"

Lin Hai looked at the past in puzzlement, only that the producer was pouring bitter water.

It turns out that the film has been confirmed to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, but the film festival will open in three days...... The producer almost didn't say, "It's fooling around."

Xavier argued: "Just add some elements, it doesn't take three days, two days at most, no, one day is enough!"

He is now full of creative inspiration, so he doesn't care if the Japanese are embarrassed, even if the director Rimerson comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince him.

"Now the question is, are you sure you can do it in a day?" asked Xavier, the producer.

"What do you think?" Xavier threw the question to Linhai.

Lin Hai thought for a while and said, "It's just to make adjustments, and if you don't make big changes, it should be too late." ”

He didn't dare to pack the ticket, but at this time, he could only support Xavier. Anyway, first Watanabe, then Xavier, the rhythm of the musician is really terrible.

"Okay. The producer nodded, thinking to himself that he had the film in hand anyway, so let them toss it.

……

After getting the producer, Xavier cheekily dragged Kawai into the water again, and even wanted to get him a reward - the golden retriever still had to have face, and he didn't torture the producer's fragile nerves anymore.

The three of them chatted about the revision ideas again, and decided not to wait for tomorrow, but to start work tonight.

Before going out, Akimi Oshima pulled Lin Hai aside and talked about the results of the negotiations with the producer.

"The other party offered 100,000 yen, and I agreed for you. ”

100,000 yen, converted to more than 5,000 yuan, Lin Hai is quite satisfied with this. The amount of money depends on who you compare with, and to be able to give such a daily wage to an unknown teenager, the producer has already given the French a lot of face.

"There's one more thing. Akimi Oshima said, "Miss Sato has agreed to let you participate in the Cannes Film Festival as a member of the crew......"

And this kind of good thing?

Lin Hai was surprised, and he didn't know how Akimi Oshima fooled people.

Lin Hai joked: "So I can also rub the red carpet?"

"You're thinking too much. Xiaomei Oshima rolled her eyes: "This film does not participate in the competition, and it is a small-budget film itself, so it is estimated that not many people will pay attention to it." ”

Lin Hai agreed.

Despite this, the opportunity is still very rare, and the key is not to go to Cannes, but to be a member of the crew. With this identity, you can get in touch with some characters that ordinary fans can't reach.

"The problem is, I don't know if it's in time. ”

Akimi Oshima was very distressed, she reacted so much just now, and the root knot was here. If Lin Hai's identity problem cannot be solved, going abroad is naturally a pipe dream.

took a detour to take a ID photo, Oshima Xiaomei sent Lin Hai to the door of the recording studio, and said: "I can't accompany you in the next few days, you can solve your life by yourself, I will try to get your identity done as soon as possible, this kind of low-cost work is usually not arranged too far in advance, and the time should still be in time." ”
