Chapter 234: The Book of Love

Originally, Shakru listened to Rakuma's one-sided words and thought that Milanel would be a beautiful director, but she was disappointed after meeting, she was a standard Indian middle-aged woman in terms of appearance (Milanel was born in 1957, at this time she was close to forty years old), both skin color and appearance features, are no different from the common women on the streets of New Delhi, but her makeup and temperament can still make people see at a glance that she is different from other women.

Seeing Shakru's arrival, Milanel took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Pandith, I'm Milanel, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"It's an honor for me to meet a great director like you. Especially since I'm late today, it's rude for you to wait for me. Shakru said politely.

"Directors and other investors, this is a normal thing. And I really admire you, only those who also came out of India know how difficult it is to bring Indian films to the world, and the four films you have shot before have all received good box office in the United States, which is a miracle in my opinion. Milanelle praised it very sincerely.

"You're just exalting me too much, I've had four movies and I haven't won any awards, and your first film was shortlisted for an Oscar, and I'm the boss after all, so I can shoot as much as I want, and you're much more restricted than me, and you can achieve this kind of results, which is really amazing."

Milanel shook his head and said: "Just because you are the boss of the investment, you have to think about the box office and income, after all, no boss is willing to do loss-making business, and we as directors can completely ignore these and concentrate on shooting our favorite subjects, but often the box office of such films will not be too high." So it's not easy to strike a balance between box office and artistry. ”

Shakru smiled, "Okay, let's stop flattering each other." I heard Rakuma say before, you are very interested in the subject of the "Book of Love"? ”

Milanelle nodded and said: "That's right, in fact, I had this idea a long time ago, but I didn't have a specific writing idea, and during this meeting, I happened to hear Mr. LaCuma talk about your script concept, and I immediately felt very impulsive to shoot it myself, but there is a question I want to ask you, what style of film do you want to make this film into?" You don't really want to make a ** movie, right? ”

"How is that possible, although I have to consider the box office when making a movie, I don't just consider the box office, and if it is really made into a ** film, then I estimate that the box office will not necessarily be high, after all, there are few people who can surpass their Japanese counterparts in this regard. So my idea is to use ** as a gimmick, but in fact, I still have to use the plot to attract people. At the same time, I want to keep my long-standing idea of reinventing Indian cinema, which is that it is full of Indian flavor on the surface, but in fact it needs to be appreciated by mainstream Western audiences. Shakru replied slowly.

Milanaire breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's great that you can think so, I was really worried that you would make this movie as the world's No. 1 film." ”

"But even if you don't shoot like this, the ** shots in this drama are absolutely indispensable, how to shoot both tempting and point-to-point, this is a very difficult thing, and the actor is not easy to find, at least there is no suitable actress in India." Shakru said with some concern.

"It's true, as far as I know, you have to have a glass of glass to shoot kiss scenes in India, as if the shots in your "Brave Heart" are already the most daring, but don't worry, you can leave this aspect to me, I know a lot of Indian actors who are working in Hollywood, and this kind of plot should not be a problem for them. And the grasp of the scale, hehe, you have to believe that the most proficient in teasing men must be women. Milanelle said confidently.

Although Shakru believed that Milanel was not fooling him, he always felt that if the last sentence was a beautiful woman, such as Aishwarya, he would definitely not be able to control it, but Aunt Mira in front of him always felt strange in his heart when he said this. However, he still thanked him: "Okay, then I will leave it to you to find an actor, in terms of salary, you can rest assured that I will definitely not be lower than Hollywood here, but in the end I have to take care of it." ”

"Yes, that's for sure. But I have a little bit of my own idea, I want to increase the theme of this film in terms of feminist thinking, is this okay? Milanel asked tentatively.

"Of course you can, in fact, I have this meaning in itself, you don't need to watch anything else, just watch my "Brave Heart" and you should be able to see that I like this kind of theme." Shakru replied very dryly.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Milanel raised her glass and suggested.

"It's a pleasure to work with, but I hope you can sign in with our company."

Milanelle hesitated for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm used to being free, and I can't stand the restraints, so I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, then try to cooperate a few more times in the future, it's the same."

"That's no problem, as long as there is a suitable script, you can't let me shoot it."

Although Milanaire rejected Shakru's solicitation, she still spared no effort in the cooperation of this "Book of Love", and soon she helped Shakru find the female lead of the play, this girl is called Indira Varma, a girl of Indian origin born in Bath, England, her father is Indian, and her mother is Swiss with Italian ****** blood, with a handsome exotic face in the Middle Ages, probably due to her personality, or due to growing up in England, So although her appearance is very Indian, her whole temperament is very fashionable and outgoing.

When they first met, Shakru felt that this girl looked very familiar, but when he thought that she was just 18 years old and had only played a little-known small role, then he definitely didn't know him in this world, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized, oh, it turned out to be her! No wonder it's so familiar, she was in the popular TV series "Rome" and "Game of Thrones" (that is, a song of ice and fire) in her previous life!

PS: You can guess who this person is, anyway, I have a very deep impression of her in Game of Thrones. (To be continued.) )
