Chapter 139: Cooling Frost (2) The Second Update

No matter how lofty the Oscar citation is, it's not a good and real movie. The only merit is that the director's ability to convent is commendable.

Not to mention, the actor's skin color and own temperament are unreal. Even the story itself and its connotation are completely conceived out of thin air. In Pearl Sai's "The Earth", although the observation of China is different from that of the Chinese themselves, it still stands on a relatively fair standpoint. However, in this film, all the standards for observing and evaluating Chinese culture and values are completely Westernized. The image of the Chinese peasant is unrecognizable, not to mention the title, I thought he was playing the American West to open up the wasteland!

Huang Liushuang was a little depressed after this. In this era, overseas Chinese are far away from their homeland, so they have a serious homesickness. For many of China's inherent traditions and customs, they are more insistent than in China. Half of Huang Liushuang's education since she was a child was traditional education. Therefore, when the blood is connected, it is always difficult to give up.

Shortly after Huang returned to the United States from China, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out. Huang Liushuang lobbied relatives and friends, gave speeches on different occasions many times, and sold the jewelry she had saved for a long time to raise a sum of money to China to support the war of resistance. As the saying goes, the road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it over time. With this incident, Huang Liushuang's image in the eyes of the Chinese can be regarded as changing.

However, at this time, Huang Liushuang was already in her thirties, and her elegance was no longer there. It's rare to get a satisfying film appointment.

I wanted to invite Huang Liushuang for the rest of my life, but I didn't like his appearance, but because of his rare experience. In this era, in Hollywood, there is only one Chinese actor who has starred in more than 50 movies.

In addition to his film experience, his life experience is also extremely rich. The road of love was so bumpy that he couldn't get married in his life. Presumably, the understanding of life and love is different from others. Such a person, whether he is invited to be an actor or acting director, is a good candidate. Yu Sheng was not worried that Huang Liushuang would not agree to his invitation. After all, only the rest of his life as a Chinese can give Huang Liushuang a non-discriminatory working environment and a role that is no longer humiliating.

Sure enough, the day after Yu Sheng asked Albert for help, Albert called Yu Sheng and told Yu Sheng: "Oh, dear Yu, your charm is really strong. After the Chinese doll knew that you invited her, she didn't even ask what she was doing, so she agreed. That Huang Zongzhan was also very polite, but he said that he had to read the script first. If the script is not good, he will choose to rest at home for a while. Of course, dear Yu, how can the script you give be bad! ”

Of course, the rest of my life can understand what Albert meant: "Dear Albert, I just want to make a movie." As for the release, I still need you to help me handle it. I won't treat my friends badly. ”

**********

Yu Sheng left Huang Zongzhan and Huang Liushuang his address and contact information in New York through Albert, but did not specify a specific time to meet. Just to say, you are welcome to come at any time.

And on the third day when Albert informed them that they were both interested, the two men actually arrived on their front and back feet. The two of them went to Yu Sheng's house together, but they looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Yu Sheng knew that these two people actually had some relatives. Only then did I remember that these two not only have the same surname, but also are Cantonese, and some relationships are normal.

Huang Zongzhan is really like to hold a big cigar in his mouth, as rumored. Although Huang Liushuang is already in her thirties, it seems to be a ripe fruit, and all the aromas bloom from the inside out, which is extremely charming. After the three of them sat down, they found out that in the United States, a foreign country. Chinese filmmakers with fame and status actually gathered like this.

The three of them smiled at each other, and they had a tacit understanding. Yu Sheng asked Qing Xiaoyi to make tea, and then said to the two: "Yu is really a junior in front of the two. I invited the two of you to come this time, and I also wanted the younger generation of the two foreign gangs to read a script. If the two seniors think that the quality of Yu's script is okay, I hope the two seniors will help the juniors. After all, there are only three of us who have some status in Hollywood. If the movie can be successful, it can also change Americans' impression of China! ”

Huang Liushuang asked, "What kind of script is it?" At my age, I'm afraid I can't play a role that is too young. Huang Zongzhan was also very curious about what kind of book he could come up with for the rest of his life. After all, he has also watched "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and "Havoc in Heaven", and feels that these two movies are already of some level.

In the curiosity of the two people, Yu Sheng handed them two scripts. On the cover are written in Chinese four big characters - the sound of music!

That's right, it's the "Sound of Music" of later generations! It is the "Sound of Music" that won ten nominations at the 38th Academy Awards in one fell swoop, with more than 20 classic tracks such as "Edelweiss", "Doremi" and "Lonely Shepherd" as interludes!

For the rest of my life, I thought about it for the rest of my life, and there is only one movie that can be called a masterpiece in later generations, related to the United States, and related to the background of World War II, which is most in line with the appetite of Americans. Of course, the rest of his life did not copy the original book. In the original book, the foreign trainee nuns were changed to exile in Austria for the rest of their lives, but were taken in by the monastery. In this way, Huang Liushuang can be portrayed as a sunny and caring positive character, rather than a fabricated character.

Historically, this movie has character archetypes. So, the script is extremely real. Because the actors are also European and American, the performance can be regarded as a true performance. If a Chinese wants to play the role of Maria well, he must have an understanding of European culture. And Huang Liushuang, regardless of her age, film literacy, or European travel experience, has given her the capital to play this role!

The three people here are all big experts in the film industry, so they can naturally tell the quality of the movie script at a glance. After Huang Zongzhan saw it, he exclaimed: "I have always heard colleagues in the domestic film industry call Mr. Yu a great talent. I originally thought it would be nothing more than that, but when I saw this script today, I realized that Mr. Yu, who makes movies in the world, only accounts for eight buckets! ”

After Huang Liushuang read this script, she was excited and incredulous: "Mr. Yu, do you want me to play Maria?" ”

"That's right! The heroine of my script is tailor-made for you, set in the context of your travels in Europe, but because of the war, you have to work as a trainee nun in a convent. Of course, the name of this character can be changed, and if you want this character to be called Huang Liushuang, you can too! ”
