It is said that Chen Xiaotang was thinking about things on the balcony, and at this moment, a voice said: "What, dear Chen, are you thinking about things?" But it was the bearded Lucas who didn't know when he came over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"yes, I'm a little homesick." Chen Xiaotang said, "By the way, why did you come out too?" ”

Lucas shrugged: "Breathe, the atmosphere inside is too tense!" ”

"Hehe, do you hate me a little and let you direct this play?"

"No, dear friend, I think it's a good challenge, at least we turned Superman into a Chinese, didn't we?" Lucas laughed, "If everything in the world is the same, how boring it is, it's better to do this weird trick!" "Lucas is like a naughty big kid at the moment.

Chen Xiaotang shook his head, "I hope we can get through this!" ”

"Don't think about this drama, Chen, you are a genius, you should think about your future development plans, for example, what are you going to do after filming this drama? What's a good story...... Or maybe you have some big plans, preferably the more lively and quirky the better, and I will definitely fight with you! ”

Pick, this bearded guy is still addicted to playing.

Chen Xiaotang laughed in his heart and said: "There are two plans, first, I may officially prepare a global tour, starting with the United States, then the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and then to Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore in Asia...... The second plan is relatively simple, which is to make a movie that I like, a pure, Chinese-style film, especially a film that can highlight our Chinese history......"

"Hehe, I don't have any advice for you to go on tour. After all, where is your name as a superstar, I guess I can't accompany the money, and I'll have to give me some tickets when the time comes. Of course, you're not my idol, my idol is the Beatles...... Ask you for tickets mainly because you can give them away, you know, star concert tickets like you are very expensive, and a poor person like me can't accept it! Lucas joked.

"As for the second plan you're talking about, well. How to say, we Americans don't know much about China. I only know that you belong to a country with a long history, then the decaying Qing Dynasty, and then the Second World War...... If you want to make a Chinese historical film, it seems difficult to resonate with a global audience. I have to say. It's another huge adventure; Of course, you said that you just want to shoot a drama you like, not at the box office, but you are betting on your own fame, if the box office is bad, your fame will also be affected, no way. Hollywood is like this, people like to use the box office to measure the quality of a play! ”

Lucas spoke eloquently. said their own opinion. These opinions are even a bit contrary, but they are the advice that friends have to say.

Chen Xiaotang nodded, "You have a good analysis, dear Lucas." It is precisely because you Americans, or the Western world, know too little about our Chinese history that I want to make a film about our Chinese history! ”

"A country that is not understood by the people is not a great country! An unknown history, even if it has 5,000 years of precipitation, is still just a joke! The more Chen Xiaotang spoke, the more excited he became, "I was born in such a country, and I have 5,000 years of Chinese blood flowing in my body, so I have the responsibility and obligation to publicize and carry forward this history and culture!" ”

"But Chen, what exactly are you going to do? After all, you have limited power alone......" Lucas understood the agitation in Chen Xiaotang's heart, but still reminded kindly, "Many things can't be emotional, dear friend, this is the lesson I have learned as a director over the years." Since I failed to shoot my first film, and then with my own preferences, I have shot a lot of stream-of-consciousness movies, and I deserve to be a mess, and I can't even keep three meals a day. Later, I thought that if I was willing to work hard, I could change everything, but in fact, on the contrary, it was everything in the future that changed me! ”

Saying this, Lucas sighed, "These are all my experiences, dear Chen, as a friend, I don't want you to take a detour!" ”

From these words, Chen Xiaotang can feel Lucas's sincere friendship with him, who said that the entertainment industry is vanity fair, only the taste of money, and the lack of friendship, it is because you have not met a confidant like Lucas.

"Thank you, Lucas, I understand what you mean, so I will carefully choose the subject I want to shoot, and I will definitely choose a ......piece of Chinese history that is known to the world," Chen Xiaotang said with a slight smile.

"Known to the world, Chen, do you already have any plans?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, yes, in fact, the name of the drama I am going to shoot is ...... "Qin Shi Huang"!" Chen Xiaotang said in his heart.

The bearded man didn't react immediately, and muttered: "Qin Shi Huang"? What a familiar name...... Oh my God......" he suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be the first emperor of China?!" ”

Chen Xiaotang was very satisfied with the bearded man's reaction, smiled and nodded, it seems that the character "Qin Shi Huang" is also famous in world history.

Indeed, in the history of the world, anyone who reads history will be interested in some great historical figures, and then love them.

For example, King Arthur of England, Charles I of France, Peter the Great of Russia, etc., and China's more famous great men in the world, in addition to Confucius and Mencius, are Qin Shi Huang and Genghis Khan.

As the first feudal emperor in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang's personal charm is absolutely unparalleled, and the legends about him, the stories about him, are widely spread not only in China, but also around the world.

As a historical researcher from all over the world, he has given important research to the history of the Qin Dynasty in China and the story of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, so it is said that during World War II, Germany also set up an association dedicated to the study of China's Warring States History and the History of the Three Kingdoms, with the purpose of developing ancient Chinese tactics and using the past for the present to help Germany defeat the Allies.

And Qin Shi Huang, as the inevitable first bull man in Chinese history. The first feudal emperor, whose historical low position is no less than that of the founding emperors of various countries, and even more so in terms of legend. So when Chen Xiaotang said the name "Qin Shi Huang". The bearded Lucas was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, dear Chen actually wanted to shoot such a big person! Absolutely incredible!!

"Chen, I take back what I just said, it's definitely a good idea for you to shoot this subject, at least most Westerners know about this legend of the East!" "Of course," Lucas said. If you need my help, I'm obligated to do it, who made us friends! ”

"Huh. Dear Lucas, since you said so, I really have something to ask you to help with......" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Aside from being a director, dear Chen. I've got you covered! Lucas said hurriedly. You know, the subject matter I'm good at is science fiction movies, this kind of major historical theme, it's not my forte, if I come to be a director, it will only help! Lucas explained in great detail.

Of course, Chen Xiaotang understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "So I ask you to help hire someone to help me be a director......

"Oh, yes, I wonder who your crush is?"

"It's Spielberg!" Chen Xiaotang said a name.

"Is it him?!" Lucas opened his mouth wide. Then he gave a thumbs up, "You're so discerning." Old! ”

You must know that Spielberg is one of the most popular directors in Hollywood, this gentleman is especially good at shooting large-scale historical films, such as the future "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", etc., are known for realistic war scenes.

Spielberg is also an excellent science fiction director, and his "Jurassic Park", "ET Alien", etc., are highly respected by countless science fiction fans.

It is precisely because of Spielberg's contribution in the field of science fiction that he and a guy like Lucas have become like-minded friends, and the two are very good partners in private, so Chen Xiaotang will leave the relationship with Lucas, hoping to put Spielberger into the water and help him shoot "Qin Shi Huang".

Some people may be asking here, why didn't you choose a Chinese director to shoot this film? First, most of the Chinese directors Chen Xiaotang knows are Hong Kong directors, and due to historical and geographical limitations, Hong Kong directors have very few directors who can control the big scenes of war, even if Wu Yusen, who is very good in this regard in the future, his ability cannot meet Chen Xiaotang's requirements. Second, the mainland director collective is still immature, and they are still busy planting "Red Sorghum" and developing "Yellow Earth", in other words, even if they have that ability, but look at what "Hero" and "Thorn Qin" in their previous life, the rotten plot is enough to make Chen Xiaotang chill these directors.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Xiaotang felt that since he was going to shoot such a magnificent blockbuster, he should find a big director who could control this kind of big drama; In addition, this drama is for the world audience, so that they can understand Chinese history and Chinese culture, not to use their own people to masturbate yy, it is necessary to find an international director to direct. In the end, Spielberg became famous, and letting him direct the play was undoubtedly helping him to do free publicity.

Chen Xiaotang was very thoughtful, and Lucas was not a fool, so he quickly understood his intentions, and laughed: "Dear Chen, you are too cunning, but to be honest, this is really a good idea, I will try to convince him, but you have to have a treat!" ”

"Don't worry, Italian food, French food is up to you!" Chen Xiaotang laughed.

………

Time flies, and when Chen Xiaotang and Lucas return to the movie, "Superman: Man of Steel" has already reached the end.

At this time, the audience in the entire movie theater was very excited,

In particular, the action scenes designed by Lucas are almost earth-shattering, the super destructive power in the battle between Superman and General Zuode, opening dozens of feet of land, smashing high-rise buildings into a mess, and smashing cars into balls, and flying between high-rise buildings, this kind of unbelievable scene, everyone who watched it was stunned and enthusiastic.

In the end, in order to save the earth, Superman took the opportunity to be beaten all over by General Zuode, and the audience exclaimed.

Some people even stood up and yelled, "Superman, fight back, you're the best!" ”

"Superman, rise up, don't be cowardly!" ……

At this moment, whether it is black, white or Chinese, they have already recognized the invincible image of Chen Xiaotang, a superman, and helped him shout and cheer. Help him turn defeat into victory.

Superman on the big screen also lived up to everyone's expectations, and after a break, he rose up with superpowers. In one fell swoop, the situation was reversed and General Zuode's group was routed.

The whole world was saved. Superman became America's hero and the savior of the world, and he smiled at the crowd cheering at him, then spread his arms and flew into the blue universe!

Nearly two hours later. Superman: Man of Steel is finally over. When the silver subtitles, the whole movie theater applauded thunderously, and it has become a boiling ocean.

Such a movie. Released at this time, it is more suitable than any movie. This is not to say that this movie is better than the previous movies made by Magic Shadow Entertainment, nor that this movie is an out-and-out Hollywood blockbuster in terms of investment, but because in such a situation. In such a situation. In the face of such a situation as the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, such a movie is like a heavy cannon making a huge sound, which makes all the originally depressed and depressed Chinese people cheer up under this roar.

Of course, in addition to those Chinese, there are many black people, as well as white people with a sense of justice, who can understand the true meaning of this movie. They can understand why Chen Xiaotang made such a film, and why he is under great pressure from the Radio and Film Bureau. still choose to be released. And the people also know this.

This movie is no longer a movie at all, it has become a real clarion call to lead the Chinese, as well as other discriminated Americans, to the freedom to choose dignity. So, when the movie ended, when the movie was successfully screened in theaters, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, everyone felt more proud of the movie than ever.

In the applause, Chen Xiaotang and Lucas took all the crew to the high stage to bow and thank the audience, this time, in front of all the thousands of viewers who supported the play, everyone choked up.

"Tonight, "Superman" Man of Steel was screened. Although I don't know if this movie theater will be closed tomorrow, I want to say that I don't regret doing this at all, and Magic Entertainment doesn't regret it at all! We chose dignity. We chose freedom. We chose Shout! ”

"Thank you to everyone who came to see this film, thank you for your support. I don't know if this is my last movie, and I don't know if it's our last night in the United States, but I know that this isn't Hollywood's last movie against racial oppression and discrimination! ”

"If for the freedom and dignity of Hollywood, for Hollywood's exhibition, for Hollywood's survival, if there is a need to make sacrifices, if someone needs to sacrifice, if there needs to be sacrificed by the film company, then I, Rafi Chen, am willing to stand up, and behind me, all the staff of Magic Shadow Entertainment Film Company are willing to stand up! We are proud of it! ”

When Chen Xiaotang held the microphone and said this with moist eyes, the entire movie theater was completely chaotic. When watching the movie just now, the audience may not think about it so much, but now, they all know why Rafichen said such things.

"Dear Rafite, don't worry, if anyone wants to close this cinema, let them live with us first!" In the darkness, I don't know who shouted loudly.

"Yes! If you kind of let them arrest us all! I'm black, who am I afraid of?! ”

"Support Shadow Entertainment, support the new Superman!"

"Support Rafite, support this play!"

"Long live Raffi!"

"Long live the Shadow!"

……

The entire movie theater then became a boiling ocean, and this scene made some of the agents of the Radio and Television Bureau sitting in front of the guest seats stunned.

Who would have thought that a drama could incite such a big energy!

And these passionate audiences showed such a move, which was really a bit unexpected for Chen Xiaotang.

It seems that most Americans are still very cute!

At least they can tell the difference between black and white.

………

The successful screening of "Superman: Man of Steel" pushed Shadow Entertainment to the edge of the cliff, but the big guy still decided to celebrate.

In the evening, in the large private room of the most luxurious hotel in Hollywood, a group of people gathered. There are not only Magic Shadow Entertainment, but also other Hollywood stars, such as Spielberg, Martin Shexes, and Marlon Brando.

"Dear Rafi, this movie is so enjoyable. Your adaptation is nothing short of magical. "The old director, Martin Sex, laughed as he drank his wine." However, it can also cause you a lot of unnecessary trouble, do you think it's worth it? ”

For this oriental star, Hollywood's current dignitary, Lao Ma couldn't help but be curious. The reason why he and Spielberg came here today to cheer is to see the face of the big director Lucas, after all, the big guys have socialized. As for Chen Xiaotang, although he also knew him, he didn't belong to the kind of super familiar friends, but now, Lao Ma had to look at the young man in front of him again, smart, courageous, and courageous.

Facing Lao Ma's question, Chen Xiaotang smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I just did something I thought was right." ”

is not arrogant or impetuous, and it is even more rare to have an indescribable certainty.

Movies can never be separated from politics.

Just like this time, there was no, but it had to be dragged into the competition between the Republicans and the Democrats.

Chen Xiaotang was reluctant to choose, but he had to choose, so in the end, he had to choose what he should do as a filmmaker.

As he replied, "I just did what I thought was right." ”
