Chapter 312: Do I Have Hope?

readx;

People's enthusiasm made Su Li suddenly dragged into a world of chatter, full of foreigners who looked different from himself, all the words he couldn't understand in his hearing, and occasionally a few words of English Su Li didn't fully understand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Li listened to it for a long time and was only dewy, so he quickly stood in a relatively safe position, then thought about it in his mind for a while, and then said in English: "Please try to follow the order when asking questions...... Also, I may not understand your foreign language, please call a translator......"

Only then did everyone find out that the scene had become a little messy because they had to ask Su Li questions, and they were a little embarrassed for a while. Coupled with the sentence that Su Li reminded later, everyone suddenly remembered that Su Li was not from his own country, and it was strange to speak to him in his native language, and he could understand it!

So, everyone began to ask Su Li questions with some hesitation.

They don't ask questions about what the real ending of the movie is, but more about how Su Li came up with the idea of the movie.

For them, this dream theory is really amazing, and the superimposed dream space makes everyone's hearts surge, and they don't know how Su Li came up with it. originally thought that the idea of "Source Code" was amazing enough, but I didn't expect Su Li to come up with an even more amazing idea.

Such an idea was unimaginable to them, it was like suddenly finding a secret passage in a room, and the new passage made everyone feel an indescribable surprise.

The first question to be asked was a literary middle-aged man, with a beard and bin Laden, and long hair, which looks really literary! He squeezed out the crowd, and then looked like a victorious general, but when he saw Su Li, he quickly replied to his inquisitive uncle's appearance, and asked Su Li: "Director Su, hello, I want to ask, where did the peculiar idea of "Inception" come from? What is the basis of the magical dream theory? Why did you come up with such a fantastic idea? ”

When he heard this question, Su Li's statement was completely different from what he said to the domestic media, and he had to fool these foreigners here. After all, although the vast majority of people around the world discriminate against Chinese and consider China to be barren, none of them can deny that China once had a brilliant civilization and has continued to this day, at least in its bloodline.

So, after Su Li coughed lightly, he faced dozens of pairs of curious eyes and said directly: "My idea came from a famous figure in ancient China, his name is Zhuang Zhou. He is one of the founders of a very important school of thought in our country, he once recorded one of his own things, that is, he became a butterfly in a dream, fluttering, very comfortable, he forgot that he was Zhuang Zhou, and when he woke up, he didn't know whether he dreamed that he had become a butterfly, or now that he was dreaming, dreaming that he had become Zhuang Zhou......"

After Su Li said this, he stopped, temporarily waiting for the reaction of the group of people below, and sure enough, there was soon an uproar.

"Wonderful imagination! The wonderful idea really has its own roots. ”

"It's a lovely doubt, and that's what makes such a great movie." Those people were sighing, but the literary uncle just now was obviously not too satisfied with what Su Li said, so he immediately asked Su Li: "Zhuang Zhou? This is truly an amazing person...... Director Su, can you tell us more about him? ”

For this kind of opportunity, I am really sorry for myself if I don't publicize it, and I see the people who are seeking knowledge, so Su Li continued: "Zhuang Zhou's school of thought is called Taoism, which is an important school that constitutes our country's cultural inheritance. Zhuang Zhou and Lao Tzu are the two most important figures of Taoism, and one of the most important words in Taoism is Dao, in this regard, as far as I know, the famous philosopher Heidegger, who once translated Taoist ideological works with Chinese scholars, the key word in his later thoughts, ereignis, actually has some relationship with Taoist Tao......"

After all, Heidegger's influence on the Western world is quite large, and in the thirties of the last century, Heidegger's ideas have been widely known, and in recent years there has been a resurgence of research fever.

Sure enough, after hearing the name Heidegger and Su Li's words, the people below became deeply interested in this Taoist that Su Li said, so everyone also happened to think of something - "Taoism? I remember, didn't Carmelo Anthony, the director of "Avatar", say that he used a lot of Taoist ideas in his films? ”

"Magical Taoist!"

Su Li also added a fire: "Yes, these are some of the roots of "Inception", in fact, Taoism in my country has a long history and many thoughts. I think I'm often able to find some interesting-sounding ideas in it......"

At this moment, he achieved his goal, and sure enough, the people below were a little moved, knowing that Su Li was using the topic to play, but he always wanted to see the true face of Lushan. But Su Li can only stop there, after all, his movie really has nothing to do with Confucianism, otherwise he must promote it heavily, and now he can only promote Taoism, which is a bit of a pity.

More or less, he sensed the taste of a little bit of cultural discourse - if "Inception" was a bad movie, then no one would be idle enough to listen to Su Li praise Taoism, but now it is different, everyone thinks that what Su Li said is very reasonable, and he must study what Su Li said about Taoism when he has time.

―――――― Cannes Film Festival's awards didn't make them wait too long for it to really start, this year's Cannes Film Festival, there are many strong films, and there are also many Asian films.

"Inception" immediately attracted the attention of many distributors after the screening, and the scenes and plot of the film have made the influence of the film reach its peak.

Therefore, many theatrical publishers have a strong interest in Su Li, and "Inception", which was originally not able to explore the potential of theaters too much in the European market, immediately benefited, and many people came to Su Li to negotiate about this matter.

Su Li himself agreed to some, it's not good to have money or not, and it is an opportunity to expand the influence of "Inception", which he will not miss. Moreover, Su Li also met some businessmen who tried to buy out the copyright of "Inception", such as an Englishman who offered a price of eight million pounds, which Su Li refused - to ask for the copyright until "Inception" is actually released!

This time "Inception" is indeed a big deal, just these screenings that have reached a lot of consensus in Europe and North America have surpassed most domestic films, and this film has also created many firsts.

Therefore, by now, it is not so important whether or not the Cannes Film Festival awards can be won and how many they can get, although Su Li also wants to win a best director...... But he also knows Cannes' temper, and "Inception" probably doesn't have much hope of winning such an award.

There aren't many awards he really wants to compete for now, after all, commercial blockbusters like "Inception" are in Cannes, just like some popular novels are not well received in Longkong, everyone admits that this movie is very powerful, and the combination of commercial surnames and artistic ideas in it is very precise and precise...... However, this is a big production! Great special effects! Big scene! The impression points were pulled down all of a sudden, and in a sense, the Cannes Film Festival was even more difficult to serve than the Oscars.

So, even if so many people have expressed their fanatical admiration for "Inception" and that young director, the jury will not be carried away by this, and at the Cannes Film Festival, some pure art films will be very superior, and European films will be more superior, and French films will be quite superior...... None of these three aspects have much to do with Inception.

So Su Li himself is relatively calm, anyway, their goal has been achieved, and there will definitely be a lot of people who will promote "Inception" for free in the future, plus some of the original publicity offensives, the attention of this movie in Europe is not too worrying.

On this day, the awards officially began, and most of the awards were not very important awards in the back, and after arriving, the awards became more and more important!

Among the later awards, "Inception" was nominated twice, but he didn't get any oil from the awards, and Su Li was also applauding very gracefully, in fact, he really didn't care so much.

At this time, it was soon time for the award of Best Actress, and Su Li was very nervous when she saw Fan Bingbing not far away, Fan Bingbing had no role in "Inception", and she didn't even get a nomination, but she won a nomination in "Yuzhao Chongqing".

Fan Bingbing waited a little apprehensively, and Su Li didn't know what to say to her, so she waited until the award was completed, and the winner was Juliet. Binoche, a French actress, won the award for "Legal Copy".

Fan Bingbing's face was a little unconcealably lost, so Su Li casually found a word to comfort her: "It doesn't matter...... It's still a long way off. ”

"I know." Fan Bingbing and Su Li became very familiar after filming "Inception", and knew that Su Li really cared about her, so he said with some gratitude: "Wait a while, you are likely to get an actor's ......"

"Actor?" Su Li smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's impossible...... It's more likely that I'll win a best director. ”

"It's true...... Fan Bingbing said: "I occasionally heard a few members of the jury say that Inception is very good, but it's too commercial...... However, the actor ......"

At this time, the award for Best Actor is about to be awarded.
