Chapter 442: Bold Ideas
Ichiyama Shozo is very curious about what Zhao Danfeng has whimsical ideas, what is most lacking as an artist, that is, inspiration, and being able to listen to other people's inspiration may inspire him. When Zhao Danfeng said this, he said very seriously, "Then we will listen to it." ”
Zhao Danfeng nodded, "There is a well-known director in Xiangjiang who just went to the United States to shoot a film this year, and it will be released next year." Although he may not be so famous internationally, he is the same as Mr. Iwai, and has an Asian dream director, his name is Chen Kexin. ”
Shishan sighed, obviously knowing Chen Kexin.
"In the morning, a reporter asked me if it was possible to cooperate with director Chen Kexin, in fact, I really wanted to say that this is an unavoidable thing, and if I want to cooperate, I will have a chance." Zhao Danfeng laughed at himself, adjusted the atmosphere of the banquet, and continued, "Although cooperation or something, it is not reliable. However, what this reporter said about director Chen Kexin triggered some associations in me, which I think is very interesting. ”
Zhao Danfeng ate a mouthful of food and whetted everyone's appetite, and then said, "He said that Director Chen Kexin was studying a book recently, but in fact, it is a stall literature in the final analysis. ”
When Shishan heard the word stall literature, he looked at Jia Zhangke for help, and Jia Zhangke had to explain, "A kind of unscrupulous fictional plot and a narrative article with a strong story. The level is not too high, and the artistry is not strong. ”
"So it seems that Director Chen may have discovered such a novel while spending time on the plane?" Ichiyama made a joke. Zhao Danfeng shrugged, "Who knows, maybe it's a fantasy from my youth." Of course. That's not the point. but in this novel. ”
Ichiyama put away his smile. I know that Zhao Danfeng has talked about the key point.
"It just so happens that I've read this novel too." Zhao Danfeng said with a smile, and Yuan Yu whispered to Ran Qiuyue, "He's lying, he definitely hasn't seen it, but he's heard about it from some unknown places." Usually when he makes up nonsense, it's this routine. ”
Ran Qiuyue held back a smile and continued to watch Zhao Danfeng's performance.
"Let's be honest. This is a very bold and avant-garde novel, full of all kinds of men's fantasies. As soon as Zhao Danfeng said this, Shishan understood that it was an eighteen forbidden novel. But the interest is stronger, and this theme belongs to the theme that men like.
"And the meaning of this reporter's words, Director Chen has the meaning of putting this phone on the screen." Zhao Danfeng said with a smile, and gave Jia Zhangke a look that you know, seeing Jia Zhangke inexplicably, what do I know.
Ichiyama smiled, "Director Chen wants to shoot it himself?" ”
"Not necessarily." Zhao Danfeng smiled and shook his head. "Didn't you say it, Director Chen also hopes that Asian filmmakers will work together. A great director with a forward-looking vision. In the future, he may want to set up a company by himself, and his dedication is still relatively strong. ”
Zhao Danfeng's words made Shishan silent, he needed to digest it well, and the amount of information was a bit large.
In fact, the meaning of Zhao Danfeng's words was very clear to Shishan, and he completely followed his own words one by one. Speaking of Shunji Iwai's Y2K plan, this guy said that he is also a filmmaker who is also optimistic about the entire Asian film market. When it comes to different movie ideas, this guy proposes a very bold theme. When it comes to the Yuejiu drama that is in line with the ratings prospects of Japan, Zhao Danfeng mentioned Nagisa Oshima. Boldly guessing what Zhao Danfeng meant, such a picture appeared in front of Shishan's eyes, a mainland actor, a Japanese director, a screenwriter from New Taipei, and Xiangjiang Arts. These people are making a movie together that is inappropriate for children, and it's exciting to think about it.
Not only was Shishan's blood boiling, but as he spoke, Zhao Danfeng was infected with blood. What kind of movie is "The Evening Mother"? I believe everyone has seen it, so there is no need to repeat it. To be honest, this film is a bit subtle, so in the expression of some themes, it is not thorough enough, in the words of foreign film critics, the ideology will always be covered by beautiful shots. For this kind of theme, which country's director is the most experienced and creative, it must be a Japanese director, and Nagisa Oshima must be one of the best.
Of course, if you directly throw the book to Nagisa Oshima to direct, the film will be ruined, and it will be too black. The things that this old man shoots are too ideological, and sometimes they are a little detached and difficult for ordinary people to accept. What kind of thing like bestiality, as a mortal, Zhao Danfeng himself can't stand it. Therefore, the script adaptation must use its own people, according to the different themes and ideas, the script has different directions, but one thing is certain. The picture should be beautiful and warm. It's too black, something ritualistic, that's ruining the subject.
As for the actors, Zhao Danfeng didn't think about it himself, he was purely enthusiastic by the idea of this movie himself. Jia Zhangke looked at the two guys with a gleam in his eyes, scratching his head a little, what are these two people thinking, he has no brains at all.
Don't say that Jia Zhangke doesn't understand, except for these two people here, there is nothing to understand. Yuan Yang can understand a little bit, but he just thinks that Zhao Danfeng has a plan for the movie, and he can't think of anything else.
"Mr. Zhao, chatting with you really taught me a lot, so I need to digest it." Shen Bing, who said this, turned his face to the side, unable to stand such praise.
Zhao Danfeng felt that it was nothing, and he had to digest it well, it was too shocking. Nodding, "I'm just saying that, Mr. Ichiyama should have fun." ”
"When I return to Japan, I will pass it on to Mr. Kitano word for word." Shishan said, this can be regarded as an endorsement of Zhao Danfeng's delusion.
Jia Zhangke saw that the two finally came to an end, and said to Zhao Danfeng, "I will find time to make the crew move in winter, and you will come and see it then?" ”
"No problem." Zhao Danfeng agreed without thinking about it, he really didn't have to worry about starting filming this year, he hadn't reached the point where he could affect the weather in this world, it was a big snake with the blood of heaven, not himself. Obviously, this year, due to the lack of snowfall, the crew has been suspended, so there is no need to worry.
"If you don't come, I'll change people." Jia Zhangke said seriously, "I know that you have a lot of dramas at the end of the year, and it is difficult to choose." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me." Zhao Danfeng was so sure that Jia Zhangke didn't expect it, and it didn't look like a perfunctory person, so he didn't tell him anymore, anyway, he would see it when the time came. On the contrary, Yuan Yu on the side made Jia Zhangke come alive again, "Another day, you will go to my place with your classmates to see the book?" ”
Zhao Danfeng smiled at Yuan Yang, "Director Jia asked you to audition." ”
Shishan laughed, Jia Zhangke touched his nose a little embarrassed, and Yuan Yang didn't react, "Audition? ”
"Director Jia's new film, think about it?" Zhao Danfeng blinked.
Yuan Yu was stunned and smiled, "As long as I am given the role, I will play her well." (To be continued......)
