Chapter 775
Ang Lee's return to TW is a big deal for the TW entertainment industry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info He is known as the light of TW films, and he is also known as the first Chinese director, and the courtesy Ang Lee received on his return to TW was almost at the level of a national leader.
But Ang Lee is humble and low-key. After attending a few necessary events, he will not come out when he returns home. After making a few phone calls, the reporters who were squatting in front of their homes were invited by the police to the police station for coffee. In addition, the surroundings of the home are strictly guarded, so that no one can easily approach them.
When Shen Lian arrived at Li An's house, the chef had already prepared a large table of dishes. Ang Lee is also a foodie, but when he reaches his status, he can't be called a foodie, and he should be called a "eater" instead. has filmed movies such as "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Men and Women", especially when filming "The Wedding Banquet", I found a special national chef to make a set of Manchu and Han full banquets.
"You wait a minute, my father is still in the study." Li Chun, Ang Lee's youngest son, said. Influenced by his father, he is also an actor, and in 1993, he participated in the movie "The Wedding Banquet"; In 2001, he participated in the movie "Holy Son".
"Well, excuse me." Shen Lian said politely.
"I'll also be in "Billy Lynn's Long Intermission", so please give me a lot of advice when the time comes." Li Chun said.
Very, very envious of Shen Lian, Li Chun was influenced by his father and had a high artistic taste since he was a child, but after all, he is also a young man, and he will always like commercial films. And his favorite is Shen Lian's two movies "Source Code" and "Mission Impossible 4".
In the United States, the Chinese are the most discriminated against, but Shen Lian used his performance to conquer the most picky Americans, and snatched away the Ethan Hunt that no American can snatch, which is exclusive to Tom Hunt, which is no less significant than Bruce Lee's pioneering move to break into Hollywood on behalf of Asians.
After chatting for a while, Ang Lee walked out of the study, wearing glasses, peaceful like an ordinary old man, without the slightest special place for a great director. Perhaps it is precisely because of his deep understanding in a peaceful life that Ang Lee has been able to create one legend after another in Hollywood.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Shen Lian, here you go, this is my latest revised script, try to see it." Ang Lee has never been the kind of person who will be rude, and the reason why Li Chun came to greet Shen Lian first was that he was eager to improve the revised part of the script and hand it over to Shen Lian first. The role has already been played by Shen Lian.
"Director Ang Lee, I have something to tell you." Shen Lian didn't take the script handed over by Li An, but glanced at Li Chun.
"You talk, I'll go to the kitchen." Li An's face became slightly serious, and Li Chun immediately retired.
"Any questions?" Li Chun left, and Li An put down the script in his hand and asked.
"Director Ang Lee, I am very grateful for your trust and cultivation in me. There are some things that I don't want to hide from you, but after you hear the news, you decide whether you want to hand over the script to me, okay? "Thou hast treated me as a countryman, and I will treat him as a countryman. Ang Lee has unconditional trust in Shen Lian, and Shen Lian also doesn't want to make "Billy Lynn's Long Intermission" unable to be released in China because of his own problems.
"As far as I'm concerned, there's probably nothing that will make me replace you. Unless you don't want to act. β
"I may retire from the Chinese entertainment industry in the next few years. Even I need to change my nationality. I..... If you want to marry two women at the same time, I can't be sure what will happen next. I can't even imagine the possible consequences of you handing over this role to me. Since 11 years, Shen Lian has been preparing for this matter and making various preparations for this matter, but when this matter really came, Shen Lian still found that he had not made enough preparations, and once this matter was exposed, what Shen Lian would face next was still unpredictable.
"It's a big deal, and it's really tricky." Ang Lee is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, although he was surprised, but his face still did not change: "So you need this script and this role more than others, don't you?" I believe that my support is a great help for you! β
"Directorγγγγγ"
"Shen Lian, I think you understand that the meaning of your struggle in Hollywood is the same as the meaning of my struggle in Hollywood, we are not only fighting for Chinese films, we are justifying the name of the Chinese group! Representing the Chinese is much higher than representing the country! No matter what nationality you turn to, I believe that the label on your body will definitely be, Chinese, for me, that's enough. β
"The Golden Rooster Award is not given to you, not your loss, but the loss of the Golden Rooster Award. If they refuse to import "Billy Lynn's Long Intermission" because of you, it will also be a loss for mainland audiences, do you know what I mean? Ang Lee said. After all, he is a man who dares to shoot "Lust and Caution", and he is domineering when he speaks.
"I'll do it well." Only then did Shen Lian relax and take over the script from Ang Lee.
"You don't put too much pressure on yourself. A Golden Rooster Award doesn't explain anything. The gang of people in China have a hand in fighting for power and profit, and it is estimated that they can also stand on the real major issues of right and wrong, but this kind of black-box operation is also indispensable in ordinary times, pointing the deer as a horse. No one can avoid bureaucracy since ancient times. Li An comforted Shen Lian.
"Of course, I also know that sometimes I get too obsessed with awards." Shen Lian laughed at himself: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither." If you want to create a situation where Chinese movies are blooming, you must sacrifice people like me. β
"Speaking of getting married, I would like to ask which two girls are so lucky. Be able to get your favor. Ang Lee gossiped.
"Haha, it's my luck to marry them." At the mention of the two wives, Shen Lian's eyes glowed with a different brilliance: "A Taiwanese girl and a Korean girl." β
"I know, you're still good. Can you drink alcohol? β
"It's okay to drink."
Li An was very happy and said loudly: "Accompany me for a few drinks." β
Ang Lee had no one at home to drink with him. At most, his wife Lin Huijia or son Li Han accompanied him to drink some wine, and he couldn't drink enough.
Some of the dishes in the Manchu and Han banquets made by the special chef invited by the dishes, the wine is TW's most famous Kinmen sorghum wine, and before Li Chun returned to the table, Shen Lian accompanied Li An to have a drink. Shen Lian really emptied the entire cup in one gulp.
The depression that had been pent up in my heart for a long time was released.
"In China, men can't make friends without drinking, and they can't fit into groups. But everything must have a degree, especially you, you must pay attention to the maintenance of the hidden dangers of the stomach. I'm much older than you, and I have a lot of people my age who can't eat some good things now, but I can still eat a full Han banquet and drink in moderation, because I have a good grasp of everything. Ang Lee reminded. Cheers just now, he just tasted it.
