Chapter 410: Show it to his son for review
In mid-June, when Li Xu arrived in Yanjing again, it was already a hot summer, and although the people on the streets and alleys were not dressed scantily like Hong Kong, Europe and the United States, they also changed into short-sleeved long skirts, and some of them looked fashionable.

Of course, after all, it is one of the places with the most developed economy and the broadest vision of residents in the mainland.
Li Xu's team was warmly welcomed by the reception staff represented by China Film, and insisted on arranging the accommodation in Diaoyutai instead of the Yanjing Hotel as requested by Li Xu, even if he brought two personal maids in addition to the two female secretaries, as well as Li Jianqun, Chen Chong, and Wu Junmei.
Very simply, in the group of people he led, in addition to the Hong Kong team represented by Li Hanxiang, as well as the American team in Hollywood, there was also a Japanese team led by Akira Kurosawa.
For the mainland film industry, Kurosawa is a big Buddha, no matter what his work is, after all, he is an Asian director who has been recognized by the West, and has a high reputation in Europe and the United States.
I didn't see Japan, and at first they were sneering at Akira Kurosawa, and as soon as he won the award, he began to kneel and lick inside. The mainland's current atmosphere of admiring foreign countries is very strong, especially in the literary and artistic circles, and the policy is now, in addition to attracting foreign investment, it is also necessary to establish a new image.
As for the controversy nine years ago, hey, who cares about that, politics is not just about eating back what you spit out.
Moreover, Li Xu also reminded the mainland before this that the controversy about "Dersu Uzara" can be handled in a low-key manner, not to mention it, but to give him more or less some face.
The old guy doesn't have any other needs, except for movies, and he has a good face.
Then, Li Hanxiang's forced style is not enough, after all, it is the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles that are rolling, and Hollywood has no forced characters, so naturally the stars hold the moon and put Kurosawa in the middle.
As for Li Xu, how could he mix up with these people? It is not good to be famous, so naturally there are people of higher rank to receive him, and he leaves the airport from somewhere else to go to Diaoyutai.
Of course, as the behind-the-scenes controller of the crew of "The Last Emperor", it is still necessary to have dinner together.
"I have heard many rumors about the mainland, some good and some bad, I have always believed that no matter what kind of rumors there are exaggerated elements, I came here today to take a look, and it is indeed so. Kurosawa said a few words during the banquet.
Although the words were sleek, the old man's smile was ...... Happy, obviously along the way, the Chinese people took him comfortably.
"It's a bit of a problem, but I'm moving the course of history forward. After returning to the room, Li Xu seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to Li Wei and Gao Lihong.
"Kurosawa-kun looks pretty good, even though I don't have much contact with him. Li Wei wanted to know a little more, and immediately took the canal.
"You also said it, it's just that you don't have much contact with him," Li Xu said here and waved his hand, "Forget it, don't mention this, let him be in charge of the crew's operation, I'm busy with other things, what's the arrangement for tomorrow?"
"Visit the Forbidden City with the crew and conduct on-site investigations. Gao Lihong replied immediately.
"I'll leave this kind of thing to everyone else, I said it, and let Kurosawa and Robert be in charge of assembling the crew. Li Xu waved his hand, "Remember to communicate with them tomorrow, I want to read the script of "1942" first. ”
He was only responsible for bringing the entire team to the mainland—the director, the assistants, the main actors, etc.—and the rest was left to someone else, and since Hollywood was under pressure from him, he finally got the team up and running as scheduled, and the person in charge, Robert Bakken, was good, so let's continue.
"Okay, boss. Gao Lihong nodded and replied.
I talked about some work things again, and the time passed ten o'clock, and then ......
"You two together tonight. Li Xu said bluntly.
"Hey?" Li Qi was still a little surprised, but Gao Lihong let out a long breath, took off her high heels, and then rubbed her heels.
"Mina, what are you doing here?" asked Liyu immediately.
"The boss wants us to go to bed together, can you say no?" Gao Lihong was a little inexplicable.
"Of course not, I mean...... I mean...... We're in Diaoyutai!" Li Wei raised his voice, and immediately remembered that Gao Lihong didn't know what it meant, so he looked at Li Xu.
"What about Diaoyutai?" Li Xu spread his hand, "Diaoyutai can't stop men and women from falling in love." ”
"But...... But boss, didn't you say ...... before" Li Wei was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, if they're really eavesdropping, let them listen. Li Xu waved his hand indifferently, and then said to Qiu Shuzhen and Li Jiaxin: "You will sleep in the room of the two of them tonight." ”
"Yes, young master. Although a little reluctant, Qiu Shuzhen and Li Jiaxin bowed and retreated.
And then...... Well, this time is a little indulgent, so even if he lives in Diaoyutai, he still doesn't plan to restrain too much, anyway, Liyu and Gao Lihong are used to it, what does it matter to be together?
It's like the night two days ago, he said to come together, then he really came together, not only Shuanglin Deng Zhao Zhong and Hu Huiyan went together, but even Li Jianqun and Wang Qixian, who came to see Li Jianqun temporarily, did not let go, Xiaoxian's first group activity was handed over like this.
Not much to say about this, a group of women played like crazy, even Li Jianqun, who was so ashamed that he couldn't help himself, ended up waving, and Xiaoxian finally hugged Lin Qingxia and gnawed together. Therefore, some scenes in a certain movie a few years later are more realistic, more beautiful, more seductive, and more lustful than another time and space, after all, they have been practiced and practiced for a long time.
Of course, it's just a little indulgent, and the self-control is still there, and he also said that if he didn't eat Zhou Huixian, he really didn't eat it. Though she had fallen backwards when she left, her legs were limp, her face was red, and her eyes were misty, which he had done with his fingers.
In addition, if he wants to really indulge, it will not be Li Qi and Gao Lihong who will stay here tonight, but two personal maids. Age is not a problem at all, besides, how do you know what I'm doing in the room?
In fact, Li Xu only planned to bring Qiu Shuzhen over at first, and he was used to having a maid to serve by his side, so it was really awkward to have it for a while. But Li Jiaxin also wanted to go, and he didn't say anything, so he knelt on the ground, hugged Li Xu's thigh, and raised his head with a teary expression.
The cold girl smiled beautifully, and the crying was equally tempting, Li Xu relented for a while and agreed, so the two of them were in the team.
Still don't mention this, the next day, after contacting the Chinese representatives, after the crew of "The Last Emperor" went to visit the Forbidden City, Li Xu took Li Wei to China Film.
is not the China Film co-production company that had a meeting before because of "The Last Emperor", or China Film itself.
Of course, the current China Film is not the huge group 20 years later, it was formed by the merger of several companies in 99, and the current China Film is more just coordinating the tasks of major studios.
However, Li Xu really can only find them if he wants to produce "1942", after all, what he wants is that from the screenwriter to the actor to the director and the photographer, all Chinese people will be used, but they must be filmed and produced according to his ideas.
This kind of cooperation model is unheard of, if you want to say, the mainland has also tried several co-productions, the previous "Curtain Listening to Politics" and "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" are all co-productions, but basically the mainland produces some actors, the partners produce some actors, and the director is also selected by the partner, and the mainland basically can't intervene in production.
Now Li Xu not only basically uses mainland film practitioners, but also basically hands over the power to them, which is really weird - obviously, for them, they don't know what Li Xu's way of supervising movies is.
Therefore, the leaders of China Film agreed, and it would be strange if they didn't agree, but they made it clear that the budget for this "1942" was 10 million US dollars.
Well, under Mr. Li's attention, the film studio can also make foreign exchange after the TV station. Mr. Li asked to shoot according to his ideas, then just shoot according to his ideas, anyway, the script must be seen by the people above.
Of course, even so, there are still many problems with the filming of this movie.
"What you mean is to downplay the tragic scene at that time, not to be too explicit, and to make Mr. Chang's image a little more positive, or ...... Wash it white?" Li Xu touched his upper lip and asked, "This seems to be a bit unrealistic, right?"
"Well...... the other party smiled awkwardly, although he was very sorry for his words when he opened his mouth, he still had to laugh, "Please understand, too cruel pictures will make the audience feel uncomfortable, and Mr. Chang ...... This has a bearing on the united front, and it is really difficult for us to make decisions. ”
"That's it......" Li Xu touched his chin, "But I like your script very much......"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, he snapped his fingers: "I have a way, first of all, I need two copies of this script, and then, I want to send one of them back to the United States for Mr. White to see, that is, Bai Xiude, after all, he is the party and should have the most right to speak." With this, I took the other copy to Wanwan and handed it to Comrade Nikolai for his own inspection, and if he thought it was all right, he would not need to revise it again. ”
"Ni...... Comrade Nikolai?" the other looked confused, completely unaware of who he was talking about.
However, Li Xu has been to the mainland several times, and the government has studied his speaking style, so the secretary who was guarding next to him immediately leaned into the leader's ear and whispered a few words.
So the leader was even more confused, what is this...... When making a movie on the mainland, the script has to be handed over to Nikolai for review?!
But then again, the reality is really so ridiculous, otherwise, how could it be implied that the script that Mr. Li picked out has something inappropriate about Chang Kaishen's plot, which may affect cross-strait relations that have just begun to thaw, and I hope to persuade him to revise it.
Then think about it, Mr. Li's response is also very second, I think there is a problem with Chang Kaishen's plot, so okay, take it to his son for review, it's no problem, right?
