Chapter 205: Director
Although it is not the first time to step into this kind of occasion, but this time, the specifications are obviously much higher than those that Blessing has participated in in the past, there are many blonde and blue-eyed foreigners present, Blessing looks at each of them looking the same, but wants Li Mo to introduce to her all the way who this person is and who that person is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did you really write it all down?" Blessing felt that maybe it was a fluke, and all the people who met met didn't show up.
Li Moyi lowered his voice: "I don't want to think about what I used to do, if people can't recognize it all, then wouldn't it be a loss-making business." ”
"Why can you talk so easily about being a traitor?"
"Because it was a feudal society of all evils. ”
"Have you ever killed a good person?"
"How can a good person sell for a high price, I'm very expensive. Li Mo lowered his voice, "It's nothing more than a court, dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair, no one is a good thing." ”
Li Moyi's past is just a legend for blessings, after thousands of years, in terms of three views, she is quite receptive, anyway...... Even if Li Mo didn't do it, they wouldn't be able to survive now.
"The one standing over there is the first secretary of the French Embassy, next to him is the second secretary, and there is also a counselor of the Ministry of Culture, and the one on the right is a well-known French film critic who has made many movie stars love and hate at the Palme d'Or. You say, should I go over and join in the fun?"
Blessing shook his head: "Now there are so many warblers and Yanyan around him, what is it for you to squeeze over, and you have lowered your identity for no reason." Wait a minute, there will be a chance. ”
She turned her head to look at Li Moyi: "I heard that you pretended to be Tanhua, mixed into the Qionglin banquet, and wrote a poem on the spot, which made the emperor and civil and military officials praise it?"
"yes. Li Moyi didn't know why she suddenly remembered this.
"At that moment, I'll watch you perform, don't make any old-fashioned Mary Sue plots like spilling wine and falling, I can't afford to lose this person. ”
Li Moyi took two glasses of red wine from the plate held by the waiter beside him: "Of course, if you really spill these people's clothes, they will definitely go back to change their clothes immediately, how can they have a chance to talk deeply." ”
"Don't just say it, you won't do it. Blessing raised his eyebrows.
There are more and more people in the hall, the entertainment industry, in fact, is not much different from the usual circle, everyone also likes to talk to their acquaintances, strangers want to insert it, it is really not easy, it is easy to be self-defeating and cause others to be unhappy.
The number of dignitaries present was limited, and most of them were passers-by who had come from nowhere to get the invitation, trying to get their attention in order to advance to the top.
It's very competitive.
Li Moyi drank all the red wine in the cup and said to the blessing, "Look at me." Then he strode forward, looked at his appearance, and suddenly had the feeling of sending her husband on the expedition, and walked towards the fat powder pile of fragrant sideburns in Vanity Fair, and made a wave.
His target is a French director François, his commercial films have always been in the style of big productions and big scenes, and in the killing of iron and blood, he will add thinking about human nature and reflection on war, compared to those popcorn that basically have no plot and only want to explode and chase cars, there is an extra layer of depth, even in the series of action blockbusters in Hollywood, it is not inferior.
This director has never been to China before, and now his appearance can't help but make people feel that this is a signal, he also wants to take a share of the huge Chinese market in the audience market, and now many foreign directors will choose Chinese actors, or add Chinese elements, in order to gain the favor and favor of Chinese audiences.
It's just that the director François has never had any contact with Huaxia before, and some people say that he has always discriminated against Huaxia, thinking that the actors here are eager for quick success and quick profit, and they are eager to get ahead by unscrupulous means, and they don't want to hone their acting skills at all, so they rely on the face given by their parents or the face given by the plastic surgeon.
He once said that an actor should act like something, not like what he acts, if a person is always playing himself, then, even if he plays himself, the script will always be inconsistent with himself, he can't tolerate the script to give in to the actors, let alone the lack of the starring actor's schedule, ask for leave at every turn, and then rely on the later stage to do the later cutout.
"If I were a game company, I'd be happy to use these people's faces as my character models, but if I'm an actor, it's a blasphemy against art. ”
This time, he will appear at the dinner of the French Cultural Exchange Week, a large part of the reason is because of the invitation of his friend, the Counselor of the French Ministry of Culture, after all, on such an occasion, if there is no box office guarantee of commercial film directors, then the gold content of the entire cultural week will feel much lower.
Moreover, François studied in China for several years when he was young, spoke fluent Chinese, and had no pressure to listen, speak, read, and write.
François, surrounded by embassy staff, stood aside, and although some people wanted to get closer, they didn't know where to start.
The conversation is always like this:
"Good evening, Monsieur François. ”
"Hello. ”
"Do you have any plans for new films in the near future?"
"Nope. ”
"Oh, that's a shame, I'm looking forward to seeing your work in the theater. ”
"Thank you. ”
"So what are your thoughts on the new films that will be released in the near future?"
"Nope. ”
The Counsellor of the Ministry of Culture, who was standing on the sidelines, watched several people come over one after another, and he smiled and said, "Oh, François, tonight, someone may be able to make you say more than two words." ”
"In vain. ”
The Counselor of the Ministry of Culture couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "We are so familiar, can you say two more words to me?"
"Okay. ”
Then, there was silence again, and the first and second secretaries of the embassy on the side couldn't help but laugh.
François had a smile on his face, and when he turned his face to look at the middle of the field, his eyes were cold, and he was bored by the crowd of people, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not know whether it was a sneer or a sneer.
He raised his wrist, and the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock, just half an hour before the beginning of the dinner, François was already feeling in a state of displeasure, and the men in front of him seemed to have too much purpose, and it was really hateful.
"Oh, eight o'clock, it's time for me to go back. François said to the Counsellor of the Ministry of Culture.
Of course, knowing what the old friend was thinking, the counselor of the Ministry of Culture smiled and said: "Oh, my dear old friend, this is China, not France, and Mary will not blame you for going back too late." ”
"But I've had enough to eat and drink, and the journalists have gotten the pictures they want, and that's enough. ”
"Don't you want to talk to the ladies and gentlemen here about your vision for a new film?"
"Oh no, maybe, I will take the initiative to contact some Chinese first-line artists' agencies, but here, oh no, here I only see naked/naked/naked desire/desire, not for art, but for money and status. ”
When François walked towards the gate, when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly heard someone talking about the war that he was interested in, and he couldn't help but stop:
"In fact, initially, the slogan put forward by the Red Pill Empire was 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle', why did the Chinese people resist so fiercely, since ancient times, Huaxia itself has also insisted that the great unification dynasty is just, so what is wrong with gathering the strength of the entire East Asia, common development, and common progress?"
The question was poignant, and since the end of the Second World War, it had been heard from time to time, and François followed the prestige and found that it was a young man chatting with another lady whom he knew, Qiao Yu of the provincial television station.
Fang Cai's question was raised by Qiao Yu.
It really takes some courage to ask this question, François would like to hear what this man has to say, that young man is Li Moyi, he discussed with Qiao Yu to make a play, and here he is waiting for François, who is very interested in the history of war and anti-war, to take the bait.
I only heard Li Moyi reply: "If the Red Pill Empire really just wants to establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, then it will not repeatedly want to encroach on the land of China, but be frank and open, and develop and build together with China through legitimate means, they just want the resources and land of China, and do not want win-win cooperation." ”
"In fact, there are many people who have such thoughts: It doesn't matter who the emperor sits, I am a flat-headed ordinary person anyway. But in fact, when it's really your turn, it's not like that. Each ethnic group has its own historical heritage, and the national character brought by it is not that China has not been ruled by foreign races before, but only those ethnic groups that have integrated with China can have long-term peace and stability. ”
"However, if you don't fight back at that time, and just be a submissive citizen, then no one will shed blood and no one will die. At the beginning of every war, neither side will admit defeat, and neither side will admit defeat until the national strength is exhausted. It would be nice if the side that was not strong conceded defeat early. ”
Li Mo smiled: "If you admit defeat early and get a good ending, I believe that there will be no spark of rebellion, let alone the trend of burning the plains, the Red Pill Empire did not plan to get along with the Chinese people from the beginning, if it was not forced to a certain extent, the Chinese people who pursued stability would not have thought of fighting with their lives." ”
Qiao Yu nodded, her afterglow swept to François and walked over, so she stopped the conversation with Li Moyi, took a glass of champagne from the side, sipped slowly, and watched Li Moyi's own performance.
At first, François thought that he just wanted to get close to Qiao Yu under the pretext, but he didn't expect that the latter would go deeper and deeper, if it was a means to attract the attention of women, then he was too much of a failure.
"Hello, Miss Joe. François greeted Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu greeted him with a smile, and François smiled and said, "I overheard the discussion between the two of them about war just now, but I didn't expect that a beautiful woman like Miss Qiao would be so interested in iron and blood. ”
"Because I am preparing a documentary, about the war situation in the Pacific during World War II, this documentary is intended to be made in the form of a live-action performance, this Mr. Li Moyi, who has made some TV dramas before, is very in line with the representative of promising young people at that time, so I am asking Mr. Li Moyi about his understanding of the war. ”
François looked at Li Moyi: "It's not a gentleman's job to argue with a lady. ”
"Oh no, Monsieur François, I have no intention of arguing with Director Joe, but there are many people who are very dangerous in their minds these days, and if they do not take a correct view of the things that have happened in history, it will be very unfair to the soldiers who have died on the battlefield in exchange for the stable situation today. Li Mo was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had no intention of deliberately currying favor with François.
On the contrary, it aroused François's interest, and he said: "As Miss Qiao said, if Huaxia gave up resistance when the Red Pill Empire invaded at the beginning, although Huaxia may have become a part of the Red Pill Empire now, but at that time, there would not have been so many casualties." ”
Li Mo shook his head: "It's different, if we give up resistance at that time, all the Huaxia people will be wiped out! Just like before 911, the attitude of all airlines in the face of hijackers was not to resist, just let the hijackers achieve their goals, but after 911, even the United States, which cherishes life the most, has to adjust its own policies. ”
Li Moyi's black eyes shone brightly: "There is a saying in Huaxia that rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry." Not to mention the 40,000,000 Chinese compatriots at that time?"
"China has always been a peace-loving nation, and it does not take the initiative to provoke war, but it is also not afraid of war. ”
It is rare to see an artist who speaks so hard in front of him, François chatted with him about his views on war and human nature, Li Mo answered like a fluent, whether it is an ancient war, or a religious war in the Middle Ages, or a war I or a war or a second war, he has his own unique views, and his main idea is the idea of "natural human rights" that Rousseau finally completed the systematic theory.
When Li Moyi was memorizing the information, he remembered that the director was a fanatic of Rousseau.
Sure enough, François's eyes were different when he heard Li Moyi quote the point of view in "On the Origin and Basis of Human Inequality", and he had already become very interested in the young man in front of him.
The two of them had an eager discussion about the current trends of thought embodied in the film and TV series, and Blessing stood from afar and watched him and François talk like old friends, and she also heard someone whispering next to her: "Who is that man, why is François talking to him so happily?"
"Hey, it's just a third-rate actor, and I don't know what means he used to attract the attention of the old man. ”
Blessing turned his head to take a look, and Blessing only felt that the two were inexplicably familiar, so he leaned over and used her skilled cliché skills to ask for the identities of the two.
As soon as he heard the name, Blessing sneered in his heart: "What kind of role should I be, after working for a long time, I can't recite the lines on the shooting scene, and I can only say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven." ”
