"Hello!" Wang Zijun smiled and shook hands with Angela, his French level was about the same as Korean, and he only stayed at the point of greeting or asking the location of the toilet and restaurant, so the two communicated in English.

"Wang, you are in great shape!" Angela's eyes swept over Wang Zijun's chest and abdominal muscles, and she praised sincerely. Wang Zijun was wearing a pair of swimming trunks at this time, and several muscles in his abdomen were like lines drawn with a pen.

"Thanks for the compliment." Wang Zijun asked, "Do you want to find a place to sit and talk?" ”

"It's okay here, I'll just take a vacation." Angela Road.

"Listen to me." Wang Zijun said, "Where is Miss Angela from?" ”

"I was born in Reims." Angela was afraid that Wang Zijun would not know, and added, "In the northeast of France." ”

"Oh, Reims is a good place, the Cathedral of Our Lady is majestic and holy." Wang Zijun said.

Angela asked with great interest, "Has Mr. Wang been to Reims?" ”

"Uh...... I was there when I was dreaming, and I heard that it was the capital of coronation, and many French kings in the past would go there to be crowned. Wang Zijun said. (I love France, because every time I play Medieval, I choose this place, and it seems that the general stationed in Reims will receive the title of Count of Champagne o(∩_∩)o.) "Oh, is it? Reims is a beautiful place, and hopefully you will see it for yourself and not in a dream when you have the opportunity in the future. "But Cannes is beautiful, isn't it?" ”

"It's really beautiful, and the people are beautiful." Wang Zijun glanced at the beach.

Angela looked down on these beauties, and said with a little disdain: "These girls always have strange fantasies, in fact, most of them have never even acted in a movie, let alone have any movie ideals." ”

Wang Zijun shrugged and said, "Indeed, a woman as beautiful and connotative as Miss Angela is really rare. ”

Angela smiled happily, "Can I take it as a compliment?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "It's okay to be a compliment." ”

"It was a pleasure to interview you." Angela took out the Singapore magazine and asked, "Wang, are all the reports on this being true?" ”

Wang Zijun took it and flipped it over and said, "If you are not mistaken, it is indeed me." ”

"So, can you tell us about your gangster?" Angela Road.

"No, that's not a gang, the gang is full of students, at most it's just a student gangster. And we never bully the weak, we just join forces to deal with those older students. The media makes a big fuss, you know, they're always exaggerated. This is an international report, and Wang Zijun naturally wants to cover it up.

"Okay, campus thugs. When I heard about you, I would ...... Kung fu! "Angela compared to a Bruce Lee signature move. The year before last, Bruce Lee's "Big Brother Tangshan" landed in the United States, and "Raptors Across the River" at the beginning of this year made European and American audiences scream. In this era of underdeveloped information, many Europeans and Americans still think that Chinese are wearing long braids, and after watching Bruce Lee's movies, they think that Chinese men can all do kung fu.

"A little, but Byblos. Lee is far from it. Wang Zijun said, "Hehe, I fought with him, when he was recovering from his injury, and he didn't use all his strength. ”

"Oh, is it true that everyone in the Chinese knows kung fu?" Angela asked gossipingly.

"No, Kung Fu is a catch-all term for Chinese martial arts techniques that some people have, just like boxing, jiu-jitsu and karate. There are actually many kinds of Chinese kung fu, for example, Mr. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is based on Wing Chun, while I practice Lost Trace Boxing, like Karate, which used to be called Tang Shou, which is also a branch of Chinese boxing. Bruce Lee is a grandmaster who has deepened kung fu into a philosophical category, and I can only look up to him. Wang Zijun was doing popular science for her, and at the same time thinking that there were only two months left before Bruce Lee's death. How did he die, save or not, save or not, can he be saved?

After chatting for a while, Angela turned the topic to music and asked, "You are a super star in Asia now, but as far as I know, you don't seem to have studied professionally before this." ”

"It's no problem at all, listen more, think more, create more, it's like a writer, he doesn't have professional writing training at all, but he reads a lot of books, and suddenly he wants to write, and then he writes good works." Wang Zijun said lightly.

"Oh, I wouldn't be amazed if you let those musicians hear that." Angela suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, you are still a writer and have written two best-selling martial arts novels. Can you tell me, what does martial arts mean? ”

"Martial arts is the chivalric novels of the East." Wang Zijun searched his stomach and thought of various words, "Most of the protagonists in it are very good at kung fu, they can fly the eaves and walk the wall, they can break stones with one punch, and they can also point acupoints, that is, if you click on a node of a meridian on your body, you can't move your whole body......"

Angela seems to be listening to the Arabian Nights: "I don't think it's a chivalric novel, it's a magic novel, like Tolkien's Lord of the Rings." ”

Wang Zijun said helplessly: "You can understand it this way." ”

"What about filmmaking? It's like writing songs and writing novels, and you will read too much? Angela laughed, "You can't fool me, it's not easy to be a director." ”

"Yes, but I have a good group of partners." Wang Zijun pointed to Bai Muyang next to him and said, "This Mr. Bai, in addition to being an excellent company manager, is also a very good film producer. So, I'm very grateful to him. ”

Although Bai Muyang is not fluent in English, he can still roughly understand it, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just a handyman, but I didn't help much." ”

"Don't be modest, old white." Wang Zijun said with a smile.

"What about filmmaking? Mr. Bai can't help you, from your debut film, I can't tell that this is a rookie director. Your sense of the lens and ability to express yourself in the picture are better than many veteran directors. Angela said.

"This is thanks to another person, Mr. Chen Kunhou, the director of photography of our company. Mr. Chen's uncle is a famous photographer in Taiwan, he studied photography with his uncle since he was a child, and I met him when he was the protagonist of a romance film. We talked about photography, you know, I didn't understand anything at the time, he said his ideas, and we put those ideas into practice. You see, in the end we succeeded. I dare say that my cinematography and editing techniques are as good as any director at the Cannes Film Festival. Wang Zijun said proudly.

Angela nodded and said, "You're a lucky director with some good partners. I also have one of the most critical questions, how did the shelling scenes in the movie do it. I've seen some Hollywood movies where the explosion scene may be even more spectacular than yours, but don't dare to get too close to the actor when it explodes, because it will cause casualties. But "Bloody Lonely City", oh my God, I think those exploding flames are almost spraying into the actors' faces. ”

"It's just a meter." Wang Zijun said, "We have been experimenting for more than three months, and the shortest distance is one meter, so we dare not get any closer, for fear of accidental injury." ”

"More than three months of experimentation?" Angela said, "You are a very dedicated group of filmmakers. ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Wang Zijun said.

Angela asked, "That's a lot of budget, right?" ”

Wang Zijun nodded and said, "Yes, it is probably equivalent to an investment in a low-budget movie." ”

"Where did you get the money?" Angela asked, "I know you make some money selling records, but it's not enough." ”

Wang Zijun said: "Take a loan from the bank. ”

"Loans?" Angela was taken aback, "Why don't you pull the investment?" Oh my God, someone actually used a loan to make a movie, and the bank actually allowed it. ”

Wang Zijun pouted and said: "I also thought about finding investors, but unfortunately no one is willing to invest." They weren't optimistic about war movies, and kung fu martial arts movies were popular for a while. ”

"And then?" Angela Road.

"And then they regretted it, because the show made ten times as much profit as a normal movie." Wang Zijun said proudly.

"But what if you lose money?" Angela asked.

Wang Zijun said: "Then start all over again, I'm still very young anyway." I guess the bank that lent me the money thinks the same way. ”

"Hehe, you're funny." Angela complimented.

Wang Zijun said: "Yes, someone said that I am not serious. ”

"Do you have any expectations for being shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival Critics this time? What awards do you think your film will eventually reach? Angela said.

"The Palme d'Or is the best, but it's not possible anymore." Wang Zijun was also polite, "I always thought that I could be shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it seems that the Cannes Film Festival is not as free and fair as people say." ”

Angela's eyes lit up and she asked, "Do you think those judges are biased against you?" ”

"No, not for me." Wang Zijun said, "It's a bias against Chinese-language movies. When I arrived in Cannes, when European and American filmmakers heard that I was a Chinese-speaking director, basically no one wanted to talk about film. Fack, one guy actually asked me why I didn't have braids on the back of my head! Is he taunting me? Or did he live in the last century? ”

"Oh, I'm so sorry for what happened to you." Angela said regretfully.

Wang Zijun said: "So, I'm very disappointed here. You see, I don't even bother to make any more contact with them, hiding here to bask in the sun. ”

In the face of Wang Zijun's strong dissatisfaction, Angela said: "I will write what you have encountered truthfully, and I believe that "Bloody Lonely City" is a good movie." ”

"Thank you, you can come to the interview, it has given me confidence in the Festival de Cannes, and I believe that most of the judges are fair." Wang Zijun said.

"My pleasure." Angela asked again, "Have you ever thought about bringing "Bloody Lonely City" to France for release? ”

Wang Zijun said: "I have this idea, but compared with France, which loves art, the United States seems to be more suitable for this movie." Perhaps, in the eyes of many judges, this is a commercial film through and through. ”

"I feel good when I look at it, it's a combination of art and business." "If I were a judge, I'd put the film in the Fortnight, not Critics' Week," Angela said. ”

Wang Zijun joked: "I think Miss Angela is more suitable to be a judge." ”

"Haha," Angela laughed, "I think so too." ”
