Chapter 722: Talking to the Director on the Phone

While listening to Zhang Nian's explanation and cooperating with the movie, Liu Chen also began to think, and it seemed that he had thought about the movie a little simpler before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But when the director was shooting the movie, did he really think about it so complicated? Liu Chen was also puzzled by this, and really wanted to call Director Li now and ask, did you think so much when you were creating?

At this time, Jin Dong'er walked in wearing big pants, handed over the mobile phone, and said a little sourly: "Here, someone is looking for it." ”

Liu Chen stood up and answered the phone, there was laughter over there, teasing when Liu Chen also had a secretary, as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was Yukiko Morita, and the two chatted a few words, obviously in the last time she sniped Apple's stock market, she didn't make any money, and she was always obsessed with it, knocking on the side and trying to get some useful information from Liu Chen, she always felt that Liu Chen had something to hide from her.

She asked Liu Chen what he was doing.

"Learn about film. ”

"It seems that we want to go together, and I also think that the next ten years will be a golden period for the development of films, and I am ready to make some investments. ”

Liu Chenxin said, I didn't want to invest in movies, but the two also talked along the movie, Xuezi said that she was participating in the activities of a film union, Liu Chen heard that his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked her, which directors are there.

Yukiko said Spielberg, Soderbergh and several other big directors, and after speaking, she asked, "Liu Chen, do you think I want to invest in movies?"

"I don't know anything about movies, so I can't give you advice. ”

"Hmph, you just play stupid for me all day long, you haven't played in the stock market before, and the most professional stockbrokers on Wall Street can't do your calm. ”

"Yukiko, you're really lifting me up, it might be better not to do things with too much purpose. ”

Yukiko couldn't hear what he meant, so she was naturally shy and sticky for a while.

Liu Chen's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked her if Director Li An was not at the scene.

Yukiko Morita is naturally beautiful, and her facial features are three-dimensional, and she belongs to the appearance of both the East and the West, and she is also like a fish in water in this filmmaker's gathering, shuttling from time to time, and she is at ease.

"Miss Morita, if you're interested in making a movie, be sure to call me. Cameron, the director who filmed Titanic, said that in the eyes of his Hollywood colleagues, Cameron is a paranoid and money-burning machine, but it cannot be denied that he is a genius who not only creates miraculous movie box office, but also can put business and art side by side.

Yukiko didn't like Cameron, said a few polite words, and drifted away.

Just finished filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson, who was growing in fame, had a light in his little eyes.

Spielberg remained elegant.

Yukiko shuttled through the crowd, and finally saw the Chinese-looking figure in the corner on the side, she had a good memory, and she remembered seeing Li An's name on the party list, but she couldn't find it, it turned out that he was hiding here.

Although Li An has achieved some honors in the United States, he is still recognized by the mainstream, and he is still wandering on the edge in the director's circle, and he is not sociable in his personality, so he has to drink alone, and he didn't expect that the courtesan-like Yukiko Morita would take the initiative to talk to him.

After Liu Chen finished the call, he walked back with his mobile phone, and said softly: "Sorry, there are some mundane things to deal with, Mr. Zhang, go on." ”

Zhang Nian smiled, she naturally did not feel the slightest bit unhappy, but felt that Liu Chen was very friendly and cared about her feelings, and continued: "In the play "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An uses the technique of alternating between a bright plot line and a dark plot line to complete his directorial vocabulary, and puts forward his own views on the future of Eastern and Western cultures and even the entire human race. In this movie, the jade dragon played by Zhang Ziyi is a bright line, a representative symbol of Western culture, symbolizing the infinite expansion of desires, and symbolizing the idea that people should be open, free and unrestricted to realize their desires and pursuits. ”

On the other hand, Li Mubai played by Zou Yun-fat and Yu Xiulian played by Yang Ziqiong are dark lines, which are representative symbols of oriental culture, symbolizing people's forbearance of desires and symbolizing Oriental people's subtle and introverted life thinking. In the film, Yu Jiaolong, who has a distinct personality, never hides her thoughts, in order to chase what she wants, she develops from the possession of the Qingying Sword to the possession and conquest of Li Mubai, and then expands to the complete subversion of her own life. Everything she does is to make herself happy. ”

"Stealing swords, helping blue-eyed foxes, eloping with horse thieves, running away from marriage, making trouble in the rivers and lakes, and injuring Yu Xiulian who cares about herself...... She completely ignored how much harm her behavior would bring to her relatives and family, as well as Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and others who cared about her, just wanted him to be happy. ”

Liu Chen said with a smile: "From the perspective of our Chinese people, this girl is too egoistic, wolf-hearted and selfish. But Westerners, especially Americans, look at her very pleasing to the eye, taking off Zhang Ziyi's Oriental shell, this role is the core of an American cowboy. ”

Zhang Nianzan said: "Mr. Liu is right, that's it. ”

Liu Chen continued: "And Li Mubai is typically an old oriental pedant. His brother died for him, and he later fell in love with his brother's fiancΓ©e, Yu Xiulian. If this is changed to modern people or Westerners, it will not be easy to solve, everyone is dead, not to mention that it is still a fiancΓ©e, and it is not a sister-in-law. ”

But Li Mubai has been twisting and pinching for more than ten years, and a lot of traditional Chinese morality and etiquette have blocked him, and he has turned people from little girls to old women. ”

Zhang Nian said: "That's it, the two light and dark lines representing Eastern and Western cultures alternate repeatedly, and the director's thinking is what people should do, is it better to think in the East or in the West? He gave the answer at the end of the film, that is, neither kind of thinking is good. ”

Liu Chen picked up his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Director Li, do you think we discussed it correctly?"

Li An didn't expect that he would be bored enough to listen to two people analyzing his movie, but this was a guest introduced by Miss Morita, and he couldn't hang up directly, so he just copeded with it: "That's pretty much it." ”

"Director Li, now that Chinese culture has been eroded by Western culture, there is still very little left of Chinese culture, and if you want to express such an idea, it is so subtle, why can't you express it boldly?"

Liu Chen thought that Li An is indeed a powerful director, but this implied expression still takes the forbearance characteristics of the East and expresses this theme, and the shooting method still can't jump out of this mindset after all, how to say it, only because he is in this mountain.

Li An's heart moved, and then he sighed and said: "After all, this is the United States, and it is difficult to really be recognized." ”

After a few more conversations, I hung up the phone.

Zhang Nian asked curiously, "Whose phone is this?"

"Heh, it's Director Li An. ”

Zhang Nian didn't react for a moment.
