Chapter Seventy-Nine: Mysterious Indifference and the Staff
Xu Jing resisted the urge to leave after all.
It's not because he doesn't care about fame, but because he has a clear conscience, you must know that he has always been a "little sister, let's not make an appointment" since he got along with Zhou Xiaoxun for so long. The only time I shivered was in my dream on the night of the completion of "Killer", which was three years old, inappropriate, inappropriate.
.
In his previous life, Xu Jing had heard such a joke.
Spielberg went to heaven and was stopped by St. Peter at the gates of heaven.
St. Peter said, "God loves your film very much, he wants you to have a good time, and I will help you fulfill whatever you ask." ”
Spielberg said, "I just want to see Kubrick. ”
St. Peter said, "How can you ask for such a thing? You know, Kubrick didn't want to see people. ”
Spielberg was very upset, and suddenly, he saw a bearded man riding a bicycle past.
Spielberg shouted, "Isn't that Kubrick!"
St. Peter shook his head and said, "Stephen, that's not Kubrick, that's God, but he always thought he was Kubrick." ”
Xu Jing's stay was five days, and during these five days, he fully understood why such a joke existed.
In his conversation with Kubrick, Xu Jing found that Kubrick had a unique and transcendent understanding of the narrative mode of almost all genres of films, such as war, horror, palace, science fiction, police and bandits, cesium, noir, detective, puzzle solving, comedy, crime, etc., as well as the narrative mode of anti-genre films.
Integrating anti-narrative into the narrative, subverting the genre in genre films, and even creating many anti-traditional models in audiovisual language.
This is a person who is precise and meticulous in his approach to cinema to the point of perversion, and a person who is rational to the point of almost indifference to the point of being anti-human.
Xu Jing can stay here for five days, and naturally he can't leave his stomach without ink. Fortunately, Xu Jing has accumulated countless film knowledge in his previous life, whether it has appeared or has not yet appeared, Xu Jing has taken it out without reservation.
How open-minded a person is, how much he will get.
Although he has a huge amount of knowledge stored in his head, this does not mean that he can fully understand that if he still has some knowledge with a film master like Kubrick, he will only lose more, and working behind closed doors will not make people progress.
In fact, he did benefit a lot from the exchange with Kubrick, and many things that he only knew but did not know why they were suddenly enlightened after communicating with Kubrick.
It turned out to be like this, and it turned out to be like this.
"Mr. Kubrick, your knowledge is like a vast ocean, and I am of great use. At the door of Kubrick's house, Xu Jing carried two suitcases, bowed slightly to Kubrick who was sent to the door, and saluted: "Thank you very much for your teaching, these days are one of the most enjoyable times I have ever spent in my life." ”
"Hahaha, Xu, I originally thought you were just a very talented commercial director, but I didn't expect that your understanding of film art is also so thorough, especially the construction of time and space and those fascinating narrative structures that you tell me, which opened my eyes. Kubrick, the big fat man, laughed and said, "You are the most talented young man I have ever met, and the closest I have ever met to Mr. Kurosawa." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Kurosawa is one of the directors I admire the most, and it is also a goal that I am chasing, and I will work hard. Xu Jing said: "Then, goodbye." ”
"Okay, I look forward to your work, I believe it will surprise the world in the future. Kubrick also waved his hand and said, "Goodbye." ”
.
I thought that the trip to England would only be a matter of two or three days, but I didn't expect that the exchange with Kubrick would cause so many fireworks, and it would take a week to go back and forth.
When Xu Jing returned to Xiangjiang, Zhao Xiaojun had even retrieved the later materials of "King Haibian" from the United States.
Seeing that it was December, and it was only about 50 days before the release of "King Haibian", Xu Jing had to work overtime to edit the film and trailer, and hand it over to Zhao Xiaojun to the music company to score the music.
After finishing the later work of "King Haibian", Xu Jing still can't be idle, without it, the start date of "Borderless City" is set for early January, but at this time, the storyboard script is only less than one-third completed, even with his amazing hand speed, he has to use the rest day at this time, God knows if there will be some accidents like the lens does not meet the requirements? It will not hurt to complete it as soon as possible.
In contrast, Zhou Xiaoxun seems quite bored, she has no dissatisfaction with Xu Jing being busy with work all day, but after all, she is not as quiet and introverted as Lin Qingqing, and her young heart is always quiet, so she can't be a beautiful girl quietly.
Whenever Xu Jing was immersed in work, Zhou Xiaoxun, who was reviewing his homework on the side, was a little out of his mind, and from time to time he would burst out with a sentence to break the peace in front of him.
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Big barley, I want to go horseback riding." ”
Xu Jing: "Hmm. ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Won't you take me there?"
Xu Jing: "Next time." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Big barley, I ate with Qingqing at noon today." ”
Xu Jing: "Hmm. ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "It's elbows that eat." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Qingqing didn't eat at all, let me eat it all." ”
Xu Jing: ". . . ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Big barley, won't you rest tomorrow and Saturday?"
Xu Jing: "Hmm. ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Let's go to the movies together in the evening." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "I want to eat roast duck." ”
Xu Jing: "Buy it tomorrow." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Don't you want to play the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Jing: "I'm not going." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "There will be a meteor shower tonight, will you take me to see it?"
Xu Jing: "Okay. ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Look, I can split a horse." ”
Xu Jing: "Hmm. ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: "Big barley, I invite you to eat doughnuts, do you want them?"
Xu Jing: "Yes." ”
Zhou Xiaoxun: ". . . ”
Facing the indifferent Xu Jing, Zhou Xiaoxun suddenly felt like a staff.
Tilting his head and pouting, he was a little bored for a while, and then his eyes rolled, and he picked up his homework book and pencil and got up and sat on the sofa diagonally opposite.
Then put the homework book on the lap, draw an oval circle in the blank space, add a capital letter 'E' in front of the circle, write an 'O' in the upper right corner of the 'E', then write an 'M' on the top of the 'O', write two 'W's under the circle, and add a crooked 'N' at the back, and a stick figure of a pig jumps on the paper.
Finally, Zhou Xiaoxun wrote two crooked characters in the middle of the circle: barley.
