A few days ago, Liang Baoguang was just an unknown to the media of the Celestial Empire, a rookie director who didn't need much attention, but just a few days later, they realized how much news material they had missed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a suspended student at Harvard Business School, a genius director who gave up business and became a filmmaker, a close friend of Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson's rumored boyfriend...... No matter what kind of identity, digging casually is a selling point. However, before they only had a big director in their eyes, they didn't take Liang Baoguang seriously at all, and now they want to find the door, but they find that they can't find anyone.

In the Celestial Empire in 2007, personal computers and the Internet were indeed not as widespread as they were later, but the number of users was already very amazing, and the number of daily active users of portals such as Yahoo, NetEase, and Sohu was enough to make those Western countries that advertised themselves advanced to drool with envy, so the news on the Internet about Liang Baoguang's victory at the Cannes Film Festival spread rapidly, and the discussion about him became more and more enthusiastic.

"My Celestial Empire finally has another director who can carry the crown, and Director Chen has been ruined since he filmed "Wuji". "The people who can leave a message under the Cannes Film Festival area are all literary and artistic young people who love literary films, and they usually watch some literary and artistic works.

The literary and artistic youths of the Celestial Empire are also deeply responsible for Director Chen, and the individual director who filmed "Yellow Earth" and "Farewell My Concubine" has no spirituality as soon as he embarks on the road of business, and many people feel sorry for him. Because Director Chen also won the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival back then, everyone will mention his name again, they vaguely see the shadow of his predecessors in Liang Baoguang's body, and they don't want to see him follow the old path of his predecessors.

"This person only made two movies, and he won the best director, I think there must be some shady deal behind it, and the chairman of the jury, Jia Zhangke, is his second uncle, right?"

"Isn't it funny upstairs, the chairman of the family is responsible for reading the list of winners on the stage every year, do you think it's the same as our chairman? I am optimistic about this buddy, and I look forward to the early opening of "Miryang" in China. "In this still innocent era, an international award is enough to prove a lot, and many people recognize Liang Baoguang's ability.

"This director is so handsome, like the hero of a Korean drama. "There are a lot of nymphomaniacs looking at the photos, Liang Baoguang's capital is really good, and he is better at dressing than the men of the Celestial Empire, so he easily crushes his peers in terms of image, and has won the support of a large number of female fans.

"The above is really right, I read the introduction of "Miryang", except for the director, all Koreans, not to mention that even the filming location is in South Korea, I think this guy should be a second stick, the most annoying thing is the Goryeo stick, go to make a movie for the stick, no matter how talented he is, he is a traitor. ”

"It's terrible to be uneducated, according to this logic, "The Last Emperor" should be regarded as a Celestial Empire movie, and Berrutocchi is a traitor in Italy. By the way, "Schindler's List" should be considered a German movie, and Spielberg is also a traitor to the United States, what kind of inferiority complex does he have to say such nonsensical things?"

A scolding war on the Internet has begun, but a bigger storm is still brewing.

In the editorial office of a certain newspaper, a gray-haired man was angry at two subordinates, "Look at what you are doing, this morning before dawn, I was called by Director Wu to scold me all morning, I read this document in public in his office, and I lost my face, and now you take it to me and copy it ten times." ”

Although the title is not visible, a sentence appears in the corner of the document: "Promote the great development and prosperity of socialist culture."

Seeing the silence of the two subordinates, this man was even more dissatisfied, and the people of the other families were very clever, but the people under his hands were rigid in their thinking, "This year, we were asked to add a new 11th edition of the cultural edition, and the two of you can't figure out what it means, how can you work in the news system without any sensitivity? When the conference is over, and the counterparts of the whole country have taken action, you go to work again, so what is the meaning of the word 'direct report' on our heads, you two should talk about it?"

"This is not the 10th anniversary of the return of the Special Administrative Region, we ......," an editor who was trained couldn't help but mutter.

Call me immediately, the work over there is not in place, and when you come back, you will explain the work at hand, and you will be ready to go to the place, and if you are not able to work, you must exercise more if your work ability is not enough. The man left with a word, leaving the two subordinates looking at each other.

The uncrowned kings used to visit whoever they liked, and even those foreign adults had to give face to the national brand signboard, and they naturally ignored a small rookie director, but now because of the pressure from above, the expatriate reporters in Cannes had to put down their shelves. In order to complete the task and keep their positions, these people became active, and even did not hesitate to go to the door of the hotel like paparazzi, just for an exclusive interview.

Liang Baoguang didn't pay much attention to the reporters who were in front of him, he only had two steps at the moment, so he didn't want to get too much unnecessary attention, so he left the hotel the day after winning the award and flew to London, where Natalie Portman introduced him to the old drama bones, and he made an appointment to meet people to talk about the script.

"What a handsome guy, haha...... Don't feel burdened by my words, I'm just casually expressing my feelings. "Ian McKellen has created many classic characters, he is Gandalf the white-robed wizard, Magneto Eisenhardt, and he is also one of the first gay people in Hollywood to come out in public.

"Hello. Liang Baoguang smiled a little reluctantly, an old comrade who had been out of the closet for decades said that he was handsome, and he really didn't know what to do except hehe. In order to avoid embarrassment, he thought about it and could only hand over the script, "You are a master of acting, you must have read a lot of scripts, please help me take a look at my clumsy work." ”

Ian McKellen had heard his agent mention it before, and Natalie Portman had also said it on the phone, so he was mentally prepared. Originally, he was unlikely to be interested in a newcomer with Chi Guoguo, but Liang Baoguang just won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and this year's actress is also the heroine in his film, so he can't help but pay attention to it, the authority of the Cannes Film Festival is still very high, "Is this "Burst Drummer" a story about music?"

"It does have something to do with music, but it's an anti-inspirational film. "Liang Baoguang has nothing to keep, after all, he even showed the script to others.

"Burst Drummer" is the film that Liang Baoguang promised Jessica to make for her, the plot is based on Jessica's personal experience, only adding a little artistic exaggeration to expand its connotation, and the main purpose of the film is to show the complex and unspeakable relationship between master and apprentice.

A teacher in the conservatory of music is very strict with the student who learns the drums, and he often lets others go easily, but he only speaks ill of him in the market, and always likes to exert all kinds of pressure to force the other party to give up. This student went from not understanding to understanding, and completed the metamorphosis with pain as the driving force, burst out with amazing energy, and achieved great success. It was supposed to be a happy ending for the master and apprentice to look at each other and smile, but in the end, the student inadvertently found that he actually misunderstood, and the teacher was either well-intentioned, or simply jealous of whether he could be good or not.

Jessica and her trainee dance teacher at S.M. are the prototypes of the main characters in the movie, but Liang Baoguang changed his singing and dancing to playing drums, and the place where the story takes place has also been transferred from the small yellow building of S.M Entertainment in Seoul to the New York Conservatory of Music. This will not only provide a better production and distribution environment for the film, but also allow him to shoot the film and juggle the business on Wall Street.

The plot is simple and simple, but it is very difficult to act, and it is not something that ordinary actors can do to vividly show the hearts of the characters in just one hundred and twenty minutes or even less. A good movie is like a good dish, it doesn't require expensive ingredients and complicated processes, just like assorted fried rice and mapo tofu, the more ordinary it is, the more difficult it is to cook.

Ian McKellen's real rise to prominence in the American entertainment industry began when he starred in Peter Fischer's stage play Mozart, his first Broadway play as a professor at Oxford University. "Mozart", as the name suggests, is of course also a work related to music, in which he plays the jealous and mediocre Salier, for which he won the Tony Award, the highest award for American drama and musical.

Natalie Portman's vision is very sharp, and the person she recommends must be much more suitable than Liang Baoguang's blind search. Ian McKellen's previous role as Saliri is almost identical to the teacher in "Burst Drummer" in personality. After so many years of training, Ian McKellen's acting skills must have reached a higher level, and it is perfect for him to play the role of a teacher, as long as he is willing to play, it is half the battle.

"Now, all you have to do is find me a student, do you want me to recommend it to you?" said Ian McLean, smiling as he read the script roughly.

"Of course that's good...... Wait, you said that you agreed to star in "Burst Drummer"?" Liang Baoguang looked up unexpectedly, he thought it would be difficult to convince Ian McKellen, this is a long-established old-timer, and his status in the rivers and lakes does not allow him to agree to the invitation hastily, but now he took the initiative to agree without even talking about salary.
