Chapter 238, Let Luc Besson choose
Miss He is indeed suspected of chasing Mo Fei backwards, or chasing backwards at all, but this kind of chasing is particularly subtle, and it is just right in all aspects, so that it looks like two people who have a good impression of each other in the early days of getting acquainted.
Regarding the hint part, it is enough to talk about it here, He Chaoqiong understands the truth of being too much, and then began to discuss other things with Mo Fei, and put the previous hint part in Mo Fei's memory first, and then slowly digest and absorb it when he is alone.
"By the way, Amo, if you have a child in the future, will you let him enter the entertainment industry? You are already very rich now, and when your children grow up, it is estimated that you are also an entertainment tycoon of a wealthy family, according to you, your children are also the children of wealthy families, what are you going to let your children do? ”
Maybe He Chaoqiong's topic changed a little too quickly, Mo Fei's mind was still lingering on the plot of the movie related to President François, and he couldn't keep up with the team in time.
After reacting for a while, he said: "What you said is so uncomfortable, what do you mean if you have a child, how can it sound like I am likely to break off." Children are all things in the future, how can you plan now, and everyone has their own life trajectory, what to do, what will be done, all after growing up to come to a conclusion, why limit a life in advance through a prefabricated way, isn't that cruel.
My child must do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't do anything that is against human morality, then everything is willing. There is a saying that 'the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article', there may be great people in any profession, as long as they can do one thing to the extreme, even if the rest of their lives are mediocre, they will become proud of this success.
Gunpowder was invented by Taoist priests when refining pills, and saccharin was invented because a guy didn't wash his hands before eating. Nitrous oxide, before it became an early anesthetic, was nothing more than a prop that could make people laugh like a hunting dog at a party; Walter Frederick Morrison and his girlfriend were bought to play with cake baking trays, and the frisbee was born; James White was developing a new breed of rubber or a substitute for the military, but he came up with something like plasticine.
If Newton had feared that the apple would hit him, gravity would have appeared a long time later, and the progress of human science would have slowed down a little as a result; If Watt had not appeared when the teapot water was boiling, he would not have noticed the beating of the teapot lid, and the steam engine technology would not have advanced in a short time; Archimedes' discovery of the law of buoyancy and density was nothing more than feeling himself being dragged up by the water and seeing the water overflowing from the bathtub while bathing, and this great law was only used by him at the time to check whether the king's crown had been cut by craftsmen.
If Edison had been planned for his life, he would have been able to go all the way to college graduation and then work for a financial engineering company. He may be able to make a lot of achievements in the financial world, but he doesn't know where and when these things will appear in electric lights, gramophones, photocopiers, and movable movie projectors.
I said that there will be a secret service president, and there will be a black man who will become the secretary of state of the United States, or even the president of the United States, which may be hard for you to believe, and it does sound a little strange. But if all this is achievable, a black child wants to be the president of the United States, and a politician who is a secret agent wants to become the president of the country, just because such a thing has never happened before, and it is impossible for many people to know, so it is necessary to avoid these things on the grounds of 'experience' when arranging, so that does not deprive the person who is arranged of a kind of power? I'll give you another example, the current President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, who was a movie star a few decades ago, and who would have believed that a movie star could become president.
So for my child, my only requirement is to be at ease, do whatever you want, even if he wants to study why the charcoal can't be washed, I won't object much. Entering the entertainment industry, I don't approve of it, but if he has to do it, I won't object much, at least he didn't hurt the sky, did he. ”
Could it be that most of these words are nonsense, if he really has a child, although he will not arrange something rigidly, but he will also guide him purposefully after discovering his talent and interests, as for entering the entertainment industry, it is even more impossible, he knows how dark and miasma this circle is, how can he let his children suffer this crime, at most it is just to manage the company.
The reason why he said this is also to deal with He Chaoqiong, he rejected He Chaoqiong's idea of wanting to act in a movie, but he would not object to his children entering the entertainment industry, the contrast here is so big that it is enough to make anyone feel the existence of distance.
It's just that these things he has done, this time he will be blind and light the lamp again. He Chaoqiong had already understood what Mo Fei meant, that is, to demarcate the boundaries more clearly, so that the relationship between them could be kept in the current state as much as possible. The last time the premiere of "City of Angels" began, and today she inadvertently used tears to ** Mo Fei in Mo Fei's office, she will no longer be fooled by Mo Fei.
"I find I can't seem to say anything about you." Just made such an opinion, He Chaoqiong stopped talking about this matter, made Mo Fei's efforts invisible, and asked instead: "Ah Mo, you should always be a film company, now that the Dian family has been defeated by you, how far will your film company go in your future plan?" ”
Mo Fei was speechless at the speed of this woman's change, and said: "The Dian clan was not defeated by me, but defeated in the hands of the artist himself, it's not that I look down on the Dian clan, I am fundamentally not qualified to fight with the Phoenix Culture, and professionally it is not at the same level at all." If you want to talk about the future of Phoenix culture, I don't have an exact plan yet, do you know the eight major Hollywood studios? ”
"If you're going to do that, that's what you're aiming for?" What are the eight major Hollywood companies like, as a movie fan, a person who is close to the entertainment industry, of course He Chaoqiong knows, if he wants to achieve that level, he really doesn't have enough to watch, not to mention the company, even if there is no film company of that level in Hong Kong and Asia, this guy's heart is so big.
At this point, of course, He Chaoqiong couldn't guess Mo Fei's thoughts and plans, Mo Fei smiled and said, "Almost." Okay, the movie begins, let's watch the movie first. ”
French director Francis Giraud is best known for political satire, and the middle-class sensibility is evident and strong in his films, a style that has accompanied him almost throughout his film life since his famous work "The Three Demons".
The style of "A Lost Letter" is the same, through the allusion to the president's extramarital affairs, satirizing the politicians of France and even more countries today, for their own rights and selfish desires, on the grounds of the so-called "national interests, the interests of the people", carrying out countless dirty deeds and unscrupulous transactions.
In addition to people's interest in the president's private life, the most eye-catching thing in the film is the heroine Catherine Deneuve, an evergreen in the French film industry, and an important reason why the audience can watch this film quietly, not only because of her beauty, but also because of his acting skills.
French films, or films from many European countries such as Germany, Italy, Poland, etc., as long as they involve the content of literary films, basically at least half of them will be associated with satirical, dark, and explosive styles.
For example, Zolaski, who plays with explosives, Buñuel and Giraud, who are good at satire, and there are countless who play shady, and even Luc Besson, who has achieved an almost extreme balance between business and art, has no lack of satire in his early works, but Bessson's taste is not so heavy.
"The Final Battle" is Luc Besson's ** work, which is about the ruins of civilization after the nuclear war, people live like primitive humans, there are no good people and no bad people, some are just survival and **, the law of the jungle is the only law of this world. As a satire on the great threat posed by nuclear war to mankind, this film is of the highest level.
There is also a special feature of this film, the director gave up artificial lighting for shooting, under the effect of natural light, the effect of black and white photography makes the bright parts have a dark feeling, and the dark parts are made of a strong sense of turbidity, presenting to the audience a match between dark gray and light gray, rather than the black and white tones that should be, but it is very consistent with the tone of the story of the film.
The story begins with a guy who sprints on an inflatable doll, this guy is the film's writer and producer, Pierre Zuliwe (who once thought he had stolen Jean-Reno's main character), showing that women are an absolute luxury in this world; And in the later plots, there are many scenes of this guy doing his own thing, which makes the audience unconsciously upgrade the woman in this world to the height equivalent of strategic resources.
Well, the guy who dealt with the inflatable doll was actually righteous, and in the end she killed Jean-Renault, who came to rob the woman, but the girl who was hidden by the old doctor's treasure has been raped and killed.
Luc Besson is human and compassionate, and in the end he let the owner of the inflatable doll return to the city where the inflatable doll still has it, kill the local auto leader, and free the enslaved dwarf, which can be regarded as the mercy of one life for another.
The saying that good people have good rewards makes sense everywhere, and it's the same in movies. After the dwarf was released by Zuliway, he actually took him into a cave, and there was a blonde hair** locked in the cave, which was very similar to the first meeting of Adam and Eve in the Old Testament.
The film can basically be regarded as a silent film, just like the early films, but it is not silent at all. Director Luc Besson did not blindly pursue art and completely remove the drama of the film, on the contrary, he will pay more attention to the development and performance of the story, and the middle and late parts do a lot of comparison and foreshadowing around Zuliwe, Renault, and the old doctor, and even some laughing scenes, which can be regarded as a silent film with strong drama.
I remember that in my previous life, someone commented on this film, saying that the film is permeated with a sense of panic for survival, and I saw despair, tragedy and other views and colors in the film.
But these people are really laymen, although this film will make people feel uneasy, but in addition to the uneasiness, there is also a kind of softness, especially the two female characters who appear successively, which is the hope that the film brings to the audience, like a drop of nectar after boredom. Or it can be said that in the ruins of civilization that has almost been lost, women's natural motherhood is the only hope for healing after human despair and depravity.
The relatively warm ending of the film is also something that many critics will criticize, they think that the film is given hope for justice and human civilization by the director at the end, but this is not the ending that the audience wants to see, although it seems milder and more just.
In his previous life, Mo Fei, who was a film critic in the early days, also had a-for-tat confrontation with other film critics for a long time, and film is a kind of art, whether it is satire or explosiveness. All kinds of styles such as darkness must have positive things to be expressed, otherwise how can they be accepted by the audience, let alone recognized by the concepts and morals of this society.
But later, he really didn't bother to say anything, some people wanted to show their differences, and some people wanted to brush up their sense of existence, this kind of person is even more die-hard than a staunch die-hard, and it is impossible to be changed.
Even if He Chaoqiong next to him wanted to say something, he was stopped by Mo Fei, the movie theater was blinded by the black lights, and it was impossible for you to know which one the other party was, in case he said something inappropriate, there was no place to talk about the reason. And for such a matter of different opinions, there is really no need to argue about anything, even if the other party really can't understand it, but it makes him always think that Zhuge Liang and Mr. Kong Ming are two people, isn't it good. Besides, people who comment on movies in the theater are not just as simple as commenting, they are likely to have other purposes, so why spoil other people's good deeds.
This movie also reminds me of Luc Besson and Jean Reno, the golden partners of French cinema, who have presented a lot of classic films to the audience in the next 30 years, so can we make one now?
"Gangster Family" is not very suitable in this era, "Adele's Extraordinary Adventure" or "Arthur's Mini Kingdom" is not technically up to the mark, "The Fifth Element" is also not yet timely, and "Joan of Arc" has too strong religious flavors.
So is it to make "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", which is full of alternative warmth, or "Nikita", which has been remade more than once by both Hong Kong and Hollywood?
At the end of the film, Mo Fei finally made the final decision, simply took out the scripts of both films, and let Luc Besson choose which one to shoot first.
