Chapter 229 Talent Reserve
Shen Zhenghui was quite uncomfortable when he received Mitsumi Fukuda's transatlantic call, because Mitsumi Fukuda reprimanded him on the phone for leaving at every turn, and not coming back when he stayed outside.
"You have to be self-conscious, don't stay in the time when you were a student, and feel that everything has nothing to do with you," Mitsumi Fukuda was angry on the phone, "You also have shares in the company, and you are not responsible for the publicity and release of the movie after filming, you want us to be tired to death!" ”
"I have something to do on the mainland." Shen Zhenghui was angry at both ends and was feeling depressed.
"What's the matter? What are you doing is interested, you don't care about it, you don't have a plan at all, what are you doing to sponsor students from mountainous areas to study in Europe, what nonsense? Do you have a crush on some high school girl? Mitsumi Fukuda sneered on the phone, "You still have a girlfriend in Japan!" Two! Not worthy of all four unhappiness, right? ”
You've actually eliminated yourself. Shen Zhenghui said this in his heart, but he still pursed his lips, "There are some sudden things, but the matter of studying abroad has absolutely nothing to do with any female high school students......
"Yes, it's enough to shoot the ass of Pingjing's officials, I really don't see the need to pat the ass of the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate in your hometown, even if it is a vase, your country's CPPCC members should be worth a little money!" Mitsumi Fukuda continued to say mercilessly, "Other than that, I really don't see any need for you to do this, is it possible that in addition to female high school students, you are also interested in male high school students." ”
"That's enough, I'll go back and tell you about it. It's not convenient to talk on the phone now, but then you'll understand that I have a reason for doing so. ”
"Is there no reason to make up a reason?" The other side snorted.
Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath, "How are you preparing for the release of "Ryoko Strange Incident Book of Yakushi Temple"? He asked.
"A hot film that the whole people pay attention to, it will be released at the end of July, and it will be released in the summer." Mitsumi Fukuda responded, "However, because the Japanese flavor is so strong, distributors in other regions will not take concrete action until the box office results come out after the end of the Japanese release." ”
"Is this the case everywhere?" Shen Zhenghui asked.
"Of course not, the distribution in Taiwan and Hong Kong can be synchronized with Japan, but it is impossible for the United States, South Korea, and Europe to catch up with the synchronization, and the publisher has to look at the performance of this film in Japan." Mitsumi Fukuda snorted. "I don't know if there are Gong Li and Zhang Guorong. It is ironic that another film directed by a Chinese will be evaluated as having too much Japanese flavor. ”
"To me, it's not ironic. It's like a compliment. Shen Zhenghui pouted.
"You're the man who's going to conquer Hollywood. Don't limit yourself to this small circle in Japan. Mitsumi Fukuda was half mocking. Half admonished, "Besides, we have already received the script you sent." While I was in the process of translating, I was really surprised, you said it was a script written by a sixteen-year-old high school student? ”
"It's related to my international student program," Shen Zhenghui said hurriedly, "We need a lot of talent." ”
The other side was silent for a long time, "So you're digging in your hometown?" ”
"Yes, I'm familiar with that." Shen Zhenghui said.
"I hope so." The other party's words meant something, but soon Mitsumi Fukuda changed her tone again, "When will you be able to come back?" ”
"There are too many things on the mainland," Shen Zhenghui remembered the affairs of the Wang family and felt a headache, "I have to go to Pingjing before I come back, the mainland hopes that I can shoot a movie that meets their main theme style in the near future, and I still have a headache in the selection of themes!" Can you give me some advice? ”
"Oh, if you can get a genre as successful as 'The Assembly,' wouldn't it be up to you?" Mitsumi Fukuda said on the other end of the phone, "Do you have any ideas of your own?" ”
"I want to make 'Shanghai Fortress' into a movie, and there is also a military-themed script, but it's too sensitive, and these two may not be able to pass the guò censorship, so I'm still hesitating."
"Are you addicted to adapting cartoons?" Mitsumi Fukuda's sarcastic tone did not decrease, "So what is the budget?" ”
"Ah, don't worry about this, since it is the main theme film, and it was filmed at the request of the other party, we don't need to fund it at all." Shen Zhenghui replied.
"So you're ready to shoot for free, not to make money?" Mitsumi Fukuda raised her voice.
"Well, according to the calculation, if you really invest in shooting, you may not be able to return to your original cost in the end." Shen Zhenghui replied, "I'm really embarrassed to take money. ”
"Then why shoot it?" Mitsumi Fukuda asked rhetorically.
Shen Zhenghui was a little speechless when he was questioned, thought about it and said, "Although I personally think I am a bit obsessive-compulsive, but I have to admit that if I am asked to shoot a bad movie perfunctorily, I feel psychologically that it is completely unacceptable and contrary to my aesthetics, I don't want to shoot, if I want to shoot, I have to transform it according to my ideas, although I know that I may fail in the end, but I can't accept compromise, from this point of view, I feel like I'm going to shoot "Shadow Samurai" The same as Akira Kurosawa. ”
"Alright, let's get to the point." Mitsumi Fukuda already fully understands Shen Zhenghui's thinking circuit, and knows that this guy is deliberately pulling away from the topic.
"The point is that if you can't win the box office, at least the reputation must be kept!" Shen Zhenghui said, "Why not burn money if you have the opportunity?" ”
"I'm afraid that you will burn money, and your reputation will not be good." Mitsumi Fukuda said.
"Anyway, it's absolutely not okay for me to make vulgar films, this kind of thing can be done by others, I can't."
"Don't you think they'll change their minds?" Mitsumi Fukuda thought for a while and said, "If you insist, they may think that you are not cost-effective like this, or that you will not achieve the effect they want, maybe just forget it?" ”
"Then I'm going to shoot what I want myself." Shen Zhenghui said, "Otherwise, they will think that I am deliberately trying to embarrass them." ”
"I really ...... you think," Mitsumi Fukuda expressed her attitude with a speechless voice, "Anyway, whatever you want." ”
"Thank you," Shen Zhenghui said after thinking for a while, "I will rush to Pingjing as much as possible, and I will return to Japan after negotiating with them, and it will be a long time to prepare for the next movie." ”
"If you like it." Mitsumi Fukuda was a little weak on the other end of the phone, "You are all workaholics. You are like this, Liu Xin is like this, and so is Tomoaki Aonuma. ”
"You're good too." Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but stab back.
"Hollywood is still waiting for you to reply, don't forget this." Mitsumi Fukuda said.
Shen Zhenghui also felt that there were too many things, "I'll go back and talk to you about this matter in detail." He thought for a while, "Now that you know about studying abroad, help pull the strings, I want to take the money to smash, you should have more connections in Europe, right?" ”
"Okay, I know that you like to throw anything to me." Shen Zhenghui clearly heard a hint of smugness from Mitsumi Fukuda, "I'll try it." ”
"Please, if you do it the first time, it will be much easier later."
"Hopefully that's all there is." Mitsumi Fukuda responded, "You can send me the relevant information." ”
The county finally got a sum of money from Shen Zhenghui and was able to tear down the student dormitory and rebuild it. The teaching building has been renewed, but the student dormitory has not been updated, and Shen Zhenghui has the impression that the student dormitory will be rebuilt after a few years, and it will be in the old brick house in the 80s. The girls' dormitory was facing a unit building in the county government next door, and an unscrupulous classmate of Shen Zhenghui had peeked through a telescope.
Out of some malice, Shen Zhenghui was willing to pay for the construction of a girls' dormitory in another part of the school, so that the original girls' dormitory could be freed up for more boys.
The study abroad plan is in full swing, and the five people who finally entered the list of international students, in addition to Bai Tao and Ning Huan, the other three people, one is the daughter of a senior English teacher in the county, and the other two are the children of the county leaders. Bai Tao went to Germany, Ning Huan went to Japan, and the other three chose the United Kingdom. Shen Zhenghui felt that it was in full swing, and everyone would start to travel in May, and during this time, Lao Bai and Ning Huan had already begun to learn German and Japanese by themselves.
Shen Zhenghui reluctantly met with five high school students, the two leaders were in the first year of high school, a boy and a girl, Shen Zhenghui knew each other before, but he was not familiar with them. The English teacher's daughter and Shen Zhenghui used to be classmates, of course, at this time, Shen Zhenghui had a cramped expression. In contrast, Bai Tao was much quieter, and Ning Huan basically had no special feelings. Shen Zhenghui talked nonsense, and then casually chatted with Ning Huan and Bai Tao, and the other three people present obviously felt the difference. But they didn't think much about it, but Bai Tao was still a little dizzy about his good luck. The German side has already arranged that in addition to going to school normally, Bai Tao can also go to the club near the school for a trial. It's just that the school and the club have not yet been decided, and there are several intentions to contact, and the choice is also two-way. It is estimated that if he goes after the World Cup, it will be more difficult for him to be selected.
Although he knew that Bai Tao would face many difficulties in life, Shen Zhenghui had some malicious confidence in Bai Tao. Compared with the uncertain future of others, Ning Huan's goal and path are much clearer. Shen Zhenghui didn't have the opportunity to communicate with him more, but there were too many such opportunities in Japan.
Shen Zhenghui shook hands with the five classmates one by one and wished them success. shook hands with Ning Huan and Bai Tao, and spoke particularly earnestly. (To be continued......)
