Chapter 233: Milanel

"Nedved? Are you talking about the left-sided youngster in Sparta Prague, Czech Republic? Jonad is a professional in this area, even an unknown 18-year-old can instantly tell which team he is on and where he is, which even Shaklu, a self-proclaimed Nedved fan, can't remember which team he was on when he was not famous.

What he said just now is not Shaklough talking nonsense, he is really a fan of Nedved, but he pays attention to Nedved from the beginning after he replaced Zidane as the new midfield core of Juventus, although Nedved does not have Zidane's gorgeous footwork, but his spirit of never admitting defeat and perseverance convinced everyone, at least Shaklu, who was a high school student at the time, became his fan, especially his blonde hair fluttering in the wind when he ran at full speed was so handsome (sorry, I said a lot of digressions, But interested friends can really get to know Nedved, a star who is very admirable both on the pitch and in life, without any negative press. οΌ‰

Of course, these are all later words, in fact, Nedved became famous in this European Cup, and it was because of this that he transferred from the Czech League to Serie A, which was known as the "Little World Cup" at that time, so Shakru nodded and said: "That's right, it's him, if I go to England to watch the game this year, then it must be the Czech team with him present." ”

"Well, if Mr. Pandit can really come to England to watch the game, then our company will take care of all the tickets. And we also have hotels under our company, although certainly not as special as your Antarctic hotel, but we will do our best to make you satisfied. Since Pandit has clearly said that he will not delay his business, he will naturally give others a little return, as for the hotel, Jonad is actually modest, because William Hill originally made his fortune in the hotel industry, so it is absolutely impossible to be worse than Shackru, which has just opened in Antarctica.

Jonad, who had just sent off the satisfied return, Lakuma, who had been waiting for him for a long time, hurriedly ran over and said, "Boss, do you remember the thing you mentioned to me last year that you wanted to shoot "The Book of Love"? ”

Shakru nodded and replied: "Yes, and I still remember that you rejected me on the spot, saying that you are not good at this kind of film, why did you change your mind now?" ”

Rakuma shook his head and said: "That's not true, because this kind of delicate style romance or conspiracy film is not what I am good at, and there are many physical temptations and hints in it, which I can't grasp, but I can recommend you a master, she is definitely suitable for making this film." ”

"Oh, then why did you only think of recommending it today? Why didn't you recommend it to me here last year? Shakru said with some dissatisfaction. Since Rakuma insisted on making a mainstream Indian film last year, but rejected Shaklu's suggestion about "The Book of Love", the relationship between the two men has become a bit stiff.

"Didn't I just meet her, if I had known her last year, I would have recommended it to you a long time ago." Lakuma replied with some grievances. Due to the big hit of the documentary and the award the year before last, he was slightly inflated, so he began to insist on continuing to shoot a mainstream film despite Shakru's objections, but he suffered a waterloo at the box office, only to find that the boss has a good eye, and he just needs to do his job as a director honestly.

"Oh, that's it, so who is this master you recommend?" Shakru asked.

"I just met this person at a meeting of the Documentary Film Society, and she is the famous Mira Nair." Lakuma replied confidently.

If it were in his previous life, Shakru would definitely not know where this Milanel was sacred, but now that he is half a filmmaker, he will naturally be familiar with the name of this well-known director of the documentary.

Milanaire is one of the rare Indian directors to make a name for herself in the United States, and even more rarely, she is also a female director, who won a scholarship at the University of New Delhi and went to Harvard University in the United States to further her studies, and in 1988 she made her first feature film and put her on the international stage "Hello, Bombay", which won 25 international film festival awards including the "CamΓ©ra d'Or" in Cannes that year, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. This is how he began to make a name for himself in documentary films.

In fact, this is also because Shakru did not know much about Indian films in his previous life, otherwise he would have known that this "Book of Love" was originally made by this female director, and in 2001, she also won the Venice Golden Lion Award that year with a low-budget film "Monsoon Love" shot with a portable camera, and then won $13 million at the box office in the United States, becoming one of the highest-grossing foreign language films in American history.

Since he didn't know about this, Shakru asked with some hesitation: "This Milanaire has always been shooting documentaries, is it possible for her to make this kind of feature film?" ”

"Since I finished filming the documentary "Black Demon", I have personally realized that this documentary is much more difficult to shoot than other types of films, not only limiting the content of filming, because this is a documentary, so there can be no artistic processing or fabricated content, and it is difficult to create cool points to attract the audience, so anyone who can make a good documentary has absolutely no problem making a feature film.

In addition, this "Book of Love" is a women's drama according to your script, and this women's drama naturally has to be the best at female directors, but if you look at the whole of India, how many female directors are there!

And Milanaire lives in the United States all the year round, and her understanding of American pop culture is definitely much higher than that of domestic directors, and only in this way can we keep the American box office, so I think she is the most suitable director for this film. What is especially rare is that when I mentioned this to her, she was very interested, so I came to tell you about it in a hurry. Lakuma urged eagerly.

After listening to Lakuma's persuasion, Shakru felt that it was also very reasonable, it was indeed difficult to find a director who could meet these requirements, and this Milanel was probably the most suitable one, so he said to Lakouma: "Okay, you contact this Milanel, find a time in the next two days, and I will talk to her about this matter."
