Chapter 529: The Way of Repayment
There is a saying that courtesy must be sought from others, not to mention the legendary big capitalist who eats people and does not spit out bones. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Even if Jiang Wen felt that this Mr. Li had a good appetite and was not ambiguous at all when he called Brother Li, he still felt that it was really difficult to accept the other party's kindness at this time.
It's embarrassing to use someone else's money for the movie, someone else's money to come to Hong Kong, someone else's money to go to Berlin to attend a film festival, and what kind of clothes to do now.
Zhang Yimou was the same, so after Jiang Wen spoke, he also said, "Mr. Li, forget about this, let's ...... We just need to dress up. ”
"I'm talking about you," Li Xu shook his head, "Don't talk about face when you should talk about it, and talk about it when you shouldn't, you are now going to show your face to Chinese films internationally." I watched the finished film of "Red Sorghum", and the effect was very good, and it will definitely amaze many people at the Berlin Film Festival, so you should also dress formally and dress up decently, right? To be honest, I saw Mr. Yan in Cannes a few years ago, what do you say? People are very spiritual, but they are too prominent, or are they negatively prominent? ”
Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou were stunned for a while, and they didn't know how to answer, but Li Xu continued.
"So, why do you have to dress yourself up brightly, don't let the Europeans really think that you are from a poor and backward country, and don't let the Europeans look at you with superior curiosity. Besides, I'm not asking you to wear a suit, there are many kinds of styles, and it's not wearing a suit that is the look. He said very seriously, "Do you understand this?"
The two people in front of him shook their heads very tacitly.
"Okay, forget it, let's put it this way, don't think that you only wear the clothes you bought once, and you can wear them again in another month when you go to the United States. Li Xu had no choice but to say so.
"Really...... Really?" Zhang Yimou's eyes widened.
"It's still uncertain, the list of nominees hasn't come out yet, but it's very likely, and Mr. Bai Xiude praised it. Li Xu said with a smile.
"1942" has a good momentum in the United States, and after getting the Oscar tickets, it was screened several times, and most of the reviews were very good. Bai Xiude made a great effort in this, as a first-hand witness at the time, although he felt that the film's performance of suffering was not satisfactory, he also understood that literary and artistic works must have a trade-off.
As the winner of the Pulitzer Prize -- the Pulitzer Prize in this era is much more valuable than 30 years later -- he is also the author of the "The Birth of a President" series of books documenting several general elections, plus he is a left-leaning activist who was persecuted by McCarthy, and naturally has a huge influence in the literary and artistic circles and Hollywood.
When Li Xu first prepared for "1942", he asked people to go to this old gentleman, and he went there once, showing a handful of Chinese in front of him, which excited him to heart attack.
Bai Xiude naturally supports this movie, with the strong support of this person, coupled with the general environment, a nomination for a Best Foreign Language Film is quite high.
Of course, Bai Xiude is not without criticism of the script, at least Chang Kaishen's image is suspected of touting and avoiding the important in his opinion. However, Li Xu also explained to him that considering the hostile state between the two sides of the strait and the lifting of this hostile state, this is a necessary compromise.
Bai Xiude finally accepted this statement, but said that if Oscar didn't invite him to the scene, it would be okay, and if he was invited to the scene and give a speech, it would be unkind.
Li Xu is quite painful, Chang Kaishen left him with a bad image at the beginning, but what does this have to do with him? At that time, it will be the film academy or the mainland that will have a headache.
There is no need to say these words to Zhang Yimou, let them be shocked by Bai Xiude's support for this movie, there are not many things that are more proud than those who have witnessed their own works.
"Okay, I know what you're worried about," Li Xu patted them on the shoulder at this time, "If you're afraid and can't afford it, it's very simple, continue to work hard to make better works, but I look forward to continuing to cooperate with you in the future." ”
"You ......" Jiang Wen scratched his head and didn't know what to say.
"Okay, okay, awkward like a girl," Li Xu immediately slapped him again, "No matter what you think, wait until you come back from the Berlin Film Festival." I still have something to do, so I'll go back first and come back tomorrow. ”
After saying that, he didn't wait for them to return, and walked out directly, leaving two people in the room with a wry smile.
"Hey, what is a big capitalist, this is called a big capitalist, and he doesn't treat money as money at all. Jiang Wen said half-teasing and half-depressed.
"Don't worry about it, as he said, it's a big deal to give him a job to pay off his debts, anyway, the leaders in the country want him to invest. Zhang Yimou shook his head.
"Also, there are some things that we don't have to worry about," Jiang Wen leaned back on the sofa, "It's better to talk about it...... Do you guess he's going to knock on Xiao Gong's door now?"
"Take your guess for yourself. Zhang Yimou ignored him and packed his luggage.
Jiang Wen smiled and packed up his own.
He was only half right, Li Xu was indeed in Gong Li's room at this time, but he didn't take the initiative to knock on the door. After coming out, she didn't go far when she met Gong Li coming out of the room, she was stunned, and a trace of blush flashed on her face.
"Mr. Li, I'm ......" She was about to say something, when someone opened the door in the distance, and it was still a member of the crew, and the original laughter disappeared immediately after noticing the situation here, making her more and more cramped.
"Let's go in and talk. Li Xu smiled slightly.
"Mr. Li, see if you can ...... Can you ask the hotel to change my bedroom?" After the two entered the room, Gong Li took the lead and said.
"Is there any problem?" Li Xu pretended to be puzzled.
"There's no problem, it's just ......" Gong Li's hands were stirred together, looking a little embarrassed.
Li Xu looked at her seriously, and then showed a suddenly realized expression: "I understand, I'm really sorry." ”
"Huh? no...... This ......" Gong Li was startled and a little overwhelmed.
"Okay, okay, I see, it's a bit bad. Li Xu smiled and touched her head, so that her face turned a little red again.
"It's my fault, the arrangement is a little inappropriate, and it doesn't take into account your and everyone's feelings. He continued, "Actually, I didn't know they would ask you to make the car in the back. ”
"It's okay," Gong Li whispered, "I delayed, and there were no seats when I got on the bus." Originally, I said that it was okay to squeeze it, but the receptionist said that it should not be overloaded......"
Although there are some periods of Ai Ai, there is still a deep hidden color between the eyebrows.
"But can you change the room now? She said hurriedly.
"I'm afraid this won't work, Xiao Li," Li Xu shook his head, "The room was booked a few days ago, and if you change it now, it will be very troublesome, and the hotel may not have extra rooms." Besides, other people live just right, the rooms are full, even if you change to a standard room with a double bed, you still live alone, don't think so much, it's just a few days anyway. ”
