Chapter 206: Routines

Although he really wanted to get started directly and in person, Blessing knew that he couldn't do this, and it would be of no benefit to Li Moyi to give someone a handle, not to mention, he was just a vulgar person who was envious and jealous, and there was no need to be like them, but he lowered his level. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of this, Blessing took a few steps to the side, deliberately ignoring those boring voices, she looked at Li Moyi's high-spirited appearance, and couldn't help but wonder if he was like this in front of the emperor and the Shilin talents elected by the whole country at the Qionglin banquet many years ago.

She walked in the direction of Li Moyi, wanting to hear what they were saying.

After the part about war and humanity was finished, François found the young man very interesting and casually asked, "So, I wonder what works Mr. Lee already has?"

"I just finished filming "The Elegance of the First World", but it has not been launched yet, and it is a story of ancient China. Li Moyi understated it, and his words were vague, and he did not brag about his intentions, which piqued François's interest even more.

François's films have always been dominated by iron-blooded tough guys, he thinks that the yellow body looks slender and weak, which is not suitable for his films, and he never thought that he would choose roles from China, but the appearance of Li Moyi made him feel bright, in fact, his big and iron-blooded tough guy style, although the box office was okay in the same period, but it has dropped a lot compared to his past results.

Although François's personal taste has not changed, he is a businessman after all, a person who is famous for commercial films, there is no special personal insistence, and he also needs to change according to the changes in the market, otherwise when the box office declines to a certain point, he will have to make way for newcomers.

Recently, he is also exploring a new direction, through market research shows that the main support of the box office is female audiences, among which in East Asia, due to the strengthening of the audience's awareness of authenticity, and for the purpose of pursuing special effects, more and more people are willing to go to the cinema instead of downloading the gun version on the Internet to watch the film.

Among them, Huaxia has a very high acceptance of commercial films, and for some specific themes and genres, it can even account for more than 20% of the global box office.

François thought of some of the scripts he had recently received, and picked out a modern anti-terrorism story that would be popular in any country.

Although he just said to the Counselor of the Ministry of Culture that he would take the initiative to contact the agency of the first-line artists, in fact, he had no intention of choosing too well-known Chinese actors, well-known actors already have their own personalities and ways of acting, and when filming, they will always put forward such and such requirements to deviate from the script.

He now hopes to find a newcomer who is not so experienced to train, the young man in front of him, maybe he can play as a supporting role, he wants to see this young man's works, but he is hesitant to say anything, because he knows that there are many entertainment reporters around, and every word he says will be regarded as a special meaning, and then expand infinitely.

Before the matter was finalized, François did not want to make a storm in the city.

At this time, the blessing had already walked in front of them, and François's eyes were suddenly full of wariness, thinking that the blessing had come to him.

Unexpectedly, the blessing just nodded and smiled at him, and then looked at Li Moyi: "Hello, I am writing a novel, and I just happened to see the promotional video you shot for the French Cultural Week, although the time is not long, but the story is particularly strong, recently I am preparing a new story, I want to ask if I can borrow the setting of this story?"

"Ah, this, you need to contact the copyright owner of this short film, Jia Pin Group. Li Moyi followed the trend.

The first time he was ignored on such an occasion, François was a little uncomfortable, and after blessing himself to sit firmly on the character, he retired without leaving his name: "I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to ask Mr. Li to perform my characters." ”

After the blessing walked away, François asked, "What is the promotional video she was talking about, and why haven't I seen it?"

"Oh, the young lady just now may be mistaken, it is not an official promotional video, but a group promotional video launched by Jiapin Group through the French Cultural Week, which is a commercial promotion of the enterprise. ”

"Can you take a look?"

Li Moyi looked a little hesitant: "This short film will be broadcast on the TV station, I don't know if I can give it to you in advance."

This young man is so honest, François thought to himself, if it is someone else, if he hears that there is such an opportunity, then why not rush up, he can't wait to bring over all the shots with his own camera, it is best to make a decision immediately to finalize him/her and be the starring role in the next film.

Maybe the young man doesn't know himself?

François asked tentatively, "Have you seen Men of Steel?"

"I've seen it, directed by François. ”

Listening to this tone, he really didn't seem to know himself, no wonder he spoke in such a casual tone.

"What do you think of this film?" François asked casually what Li Moyi thought of his most proud work.

Expressing all kinds of disdainfulness is tantamount to self-defeat, and it is meaningless to praise and praise again, and a director like him doesn't know how many praises he has heard, true or false.

Therefore, Li Moyi decided to use his feelings.

"The background of the movie "Iron Soldier" is very good, and the choice is the repair and impact of the psychological trauma of those soldiers after a major warring state admits that they are unjust wars, as well as the process of their own getting back on their feet and facing life. ”

"For a commercial film, the scene is big enough and the war scene is cruel enough, which will make many thrill-seeking audiences feel very enjoyable. ”

François, of course, was accustomed to hearing these words, and did not have any special expression, and was even a little disappointed, he had heard too many words.

"But ......," Li Mo said, "I think the villain is more interesting than the protagonist." ”

François was interested: "What do you say?"

"At the end of the war, the villain describes to the protagonist a huge militaristic country, with huge military spending, in order to support the continuous operation of the war machine, the country continues to levy taxes under various names, and at the same time, it also feeds the war with war, and makes a lot of war money, in addition to the institutions guaranteed by the credibility of the state, other forces with a large enough platform are also issuing various bonds, it seems that the war can bring considerable benefits to the people. ”

The villain also tells the protagonist what kind of economic collapse will happen if such a war machine stops. Of course, the protagonist describes a beautiful world after the truce from a very positive perspective, trying to convince the villain to abandon the war with the protagonist's country. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of Li Mo's mouth hooked slightly, as if the whole person was immersed in the situation of that movie:

It's just that the protagonist never thought that the country that the villain was talking about was not the villain's country, but the protagonist's country itself. I have to say that the protagonist was quite well chosen, and when he persuaded the villain before, he seemed to be a righteous partner, and when he heard that the terrible country that the villain said was actually his own motherland, the whole person was stunned, and his face was full of disbelief, but, after so many years of war, in fact, he himself knew very well in his heart, but he couldn't accept it once. ”

"The interaction between the protagonist and the villain boss is very vivid, and the villain also has his own ideals that he wants to achieve, otherwise with his identity and status, he can not do those things at all, and he can also be among the first-class elites. ”

"The strongest thing about this movie is that all the characters are not black and white, and the protagonist also uses means to achieve the goal, the politicians of the villain country and the politicians of the protagonist country are all on different positions, in their respective positions, everyone is right, but from the perspective of human nature and the overall situation, justice and evil can be distinguished. ”

After Li Mo finished speaking in one breath, he looked at François and also threw out a question: "I have a question, and I want to ask you: should we sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to save the majority." If a thousand people die, the war can be ended, and if this thousand people do not die, the war will continue, and maybe another few million or tens of millions of people will die. So, what should we do with these 1,000 people?"

This is indeed a difficult problem, and when it comes to this issue, both sides have always been disagreeable, and neither can convince the other.

The young man in front of him would ask himself such a sharp and easily controversial question on such an occasion, it seems that he really doesn't know who he is?

François smiled slightly: "Oh, young friend, your question is somewhat similar to what you Chinese girls like to ask their boyfriends." ”

"What?"

"If I fell into the water with your mother, who would you save? Well, I refuse to answer that question. ”

As soon as his words fell, Li Mo couldn't help laughing.

François looked at the time, the driver had been waiting for him outside for half an hour, and he smiled and said: "Young man, maybe in the future, we will have the opportunity to cooperate." ”

Li Moyi deliberately asked, "Cooperation?"

François took out his business card and handed it to Li Moyi, Li Moyi took it with both hands, looked at the French Pascal Fillon Francois with the flowery characters on the business card, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, excuse me...... Are you Mr. Francos?"

Li Moyi deliberately read Francois in English, he doesn't understand French, reading according to English is the subconscious behavior of most people, if he reads it correctly from the beginning, if the great director asks him if he understands French later, it will not be exposed.

François smiled and said, "This one is pronounced François in French, my name, Pascal Fillon François." ”

At this time, he himself identified himself, and he could give a normal response, Li Moyi showed a surprised expression: "So you are Monsieur François? Oh my God, what did I say just now, I'm sorry, I'm so rude, I don't choose to say anything for a while, please forgive me." ”

"You are very insightful, young man, and I don't know your name yet. ”

"My name is Li Moyi. ”

François extended his hand to him in a friendly manner: "Thank you very much for a fun evening." ”

"It's also a great honor to be able to exchange ideas with you wherever and wherever you are. Li Moyi showed a respectful expression.

After saying goodbye to François, Li Moyi looked for a blessing figure in the venue, he didn't see it for a while, he saw Qiao Yu first, he went over to say hello, Qiao Yu was chatting with another big-name producer, and when he saw Li Moyi passing, the producer pretended to be surprised: "I didn't expect that Mr. François could talk to you for so long, we almost thought that he was at the dinner and didn't plan to talk to anyone." ”

"I was also unintentional, I didn't recognize him before, and I spoke a little presumptuously, hoping that he wouldn't hate me. Li Moyi's appearance is not at all like the appearance of being afraid of being hated.

The producer handed him a glass of wine: "It's good to be presumptuous, he likes the iron-blooded tough guy style the most, and hates the only person who is submissive." Perhaps, the protagonist of his next movie will be you. ”

"Hahaha, don't be joking Mr. Ji, a big director like him, where can he find me as the protagonist, and he can implant me as an advertisement, which is already giving a lot of face. Li Moyi gently took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

The producer raised an eyebrow: "How do you know my surname is Ji?"

"Director Joe once mentioned you to me. ”

At this time, the blessing stood beside Qiao Yu, quietly watching Li Mo pretend to be stupid, in order not to reveal the No. 1 secret that he memorized all the guest lists, Li Moyi pulled Qiao Yu as a banner, but he didn't expect this Mr. Ji to forget it like this:

"Yes, I didn't expect Director Qiao to mention me to others, I don't know what Director Qiao said?"

"Director Qiao said that your "Strange Case of China" series is very thoughtful, so many years ago, you could think of using a deductive way to combine some ancient unsolved cases with the social and political background at the time, and compile them into small stories, which are not long, just suitable for the current fragmented viewing experience, but unfortunately, it came out too early, at that time, everyone was holding the TV, accustomed to the length of an episode of more than forty-five minutes, if it is broadcast now, it will definitely be an instant hit. ”

Now most people know that Mr. Ji is a producer, and few people remember him as a screenwriter, he smiled: "I didn't expect that there are still people who remember "The Strange Case of Huaxia", at that time, in order to polish the script, I stayed up for a few nights, and when I saw the ratings, the whole person was trembling. ”

"It's not good to do something too early or too late, it's best if it's just right. Li Mo looked at him, "I think Director Qiao has a very trendy thinking, and several special features are just in line with the trend of that time, and the ratings are also in the limelight." ”

Qiao Yu glanced at Li Mo, her eyes were full of appreciation, Qiao Yu is now just talking about cooperation with this Mr. Ji, but because he has released a few good films now, the broadcast rights are high and difficult to find, she just wants to persuade Mr. Ji to give priority to him for the broadcast rights this time.

Mr. Ji continued: "Then, in the Huaxia Strange Case, which story do you like the most?"

Li Moyi was shocked, he had only read the evaluation of the Huaxia Strange Case on the Internet, where did he have time to watch it episode by episode.

He happened to have the wine glass in his hand, so he turned around and put it down, and his brain spun rapidly, thinking about how to organize the language to get around the matter.

When he turned around, his eyes happened to meet the blessing, and the blessing's hand secretly reached into the bag and pressed the dialing button of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone on Li Mo's body vibrated with a buzz.

Li Mo looked at his phone: "I'm sorry, I'll answer the phone first." ”

Mr. Ji nodded, and Li Moyi took his mobile phone to the lounge on the side to temporarily hug his feet.

"I didn't expect Director Qiao to be so young that he had also watched "The Strange Case of Huaxia"?" Mr. Ji turned to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu didn't think about it, and hugged the shoulders of blessings: "That's because of Miss Zhu's strong recommendation." ”

"Good film, of course I have to recommend it. Blessing is very confident, in order to write a good reasoning part of the novel, she has read many detective stories she can find, "The Strange Case of Huaxia" is still from the Agatha fan forum, occasionally seen others mentioned, before she went to watch.
