Chapter 325: The Chinese who shook hands with people everywhere
"The first criterion is to never change the agreement; The second criterion is not to say anyone's name; The third rule is to never open the package. ”
"I don't think it's your turn to tell me what to do and what not to do."
"Do I look like someone who crossed half Europe and died on the bridge? Like? ”
"Do you know what my fourth criterion is? Never guarantee that you can't do it! ”
"I like to fight together, is that all you want to say?"
“……”
Sound and image come together to form a movie, TheTransporter
The Chinese name also appeared - "Play Life Express".
The male protagonist in the movie is a special driver who transports something with secrets.
He never asked anything, didn't ask what was inside the package.
But one day, when he found out that the goods he was going to deliver were actually a Chinese woman who was tied up, he decided to help the woman.
This led to a series of frantic pursuits.
Obviously, this is a gunfight action movie, but this somewhat bald male protagonist has very clean and neat movements, and the fight scenes are equally brilliant.
This reminded Xuluo of Cheng Long.
The previous "New York Catastrophe" was not very suitable for Cheng Long, but this "Death Express" is a bit of Cheng Long's style.
Modify it a little and reduce the length of the gunfight a little, then this will have the flavor of 80% Cheng Long's movie.
And Xu Luo has seen a lot of movies now, and he already has a good extended development thinking.
A movie like "Destiny Express" can be a series of trilogies.
As long as all kinds of foreshadowing is buried at the beginning and the rhythm of the trilogy is followed at the beginning, then it will be the same as "Die Hard", constantly stabilizing Cheng Long's status and increasing expectations and support for the sequel.
The biggest drawback of Hong Kong Films is that there is no long-term plan at all.
If you find a good movie, you will start making a sequel in a hurry, and many of the places where the bull's head is not right will make people embarrassed to watch.
All right.
I'm talking about the "True Colors of Heroes" trilogy.
The third episode is simply unbearable!
Of course, this problem is not only common to Xiangjiang movies, but also to most of Miguo's sequel movies.
It's rare to plan several episodes from the beginning and then try to run through them.
You can actually understand this from their point of view.
When I first started doing the first episode, how did I know if it would be a big hit?
If you can't sell it well, who would want to pay you to do the second and third episodes?
So it's useless to have any planning, a slightly better screenwriter will give you a little foreshadowing for the first episode, as for whether it can be used or not, it doesn't matter.
With the current status of Xuluo, it is not a problem to ask Jiahe to plan with a trilogy from the beginning.
So, the next movie for Cheng Long was also solved.
The mood is really good!
Look back at the big-mouthed Hua Guomei. The Jurchen is beautiful, and her whole body is full of sex. Feel.
It's a pity that this movie must have been seven or eight years later.
Because such a beautiful female star in her thirties is unlikely to be unknown now, let alone make such a foreign movie as soon as she debuts - if Xuluo's guess is correct, "Death Express" should be the work of the Luc Besson in front of him.
Retracting his thoughts, Xuluo was very enthusiastic about Luc Besson, and pulled him to talk a few more words.
It just so happens that this Luc Besson does not have the common problems of ordinary French directors - opening and closing his mouth is literary and artistic, and his commercial considerations are also very novel, and he has a lot of consensus with Xuluo.
After chatting and chatting, the time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the movie to begin.
Xuluo and Luc Besson could only leave each other's contact information, and then turned and walked into the cinema.
……
Of course, "Farewell My Concubine" is not available in foreign languages, but it does have English subtitles.
Foreign countries who are engaged in art must understand English, and directors are no exception.
So they watch the movie while reading the subtitles, and they can basically understand it.
Chen Xiaoxu was a little nervous.
It was the first time she had watched a formal film, so she held the boy's hand the whole time, and there were still a lot of beads of sweat in her palms.
But gradually, Chen Xiaoxu settled down.
Because she heard the exclamations that rang out from time to time.
Although there are not many, in this movie hall, it still seems very abrupt.
Xuluo also heard it.
It seems that there is a cry of Whoopi Goldberg, and more than once, her voice is very special and easy to distinguish.
This man is quite sensible.
The teenager understands why she did this, but the fact is that it has increased the topic of "Farewell My Concubine", which is good for "Farewell My Concubine".
Of course, she is not the only one who does this, and many people are really attracted by the plot.
In the last scene where Cheng Dieyi killed himself on the stage, Xuluo heard a lot of exclamations in various Chinese.
Immediately, when the subtitles appeared, there were one or two, three or five...... Then more and more people stood up and gave "Farewell My Concubine" a warm applause.
Polanski, who was sitting in the first row, stood up and clapped his hands, then turned around and patted Kai Ge's shoulder, and said with a straight face: "You made a very good movie!" ”
"Thank you!"
Director Kai Ge was also excited, and he turned over and over to face anyone, and he said this.
Including all the crew members on stage and accepting everyone's congratulations, Xuluo could still hear Director Kaige's non-stop "thank you" voice.
When I turned my head and looked over, all of them were flushed.
They all knew that such non-stop applause would not be fake, and that they all loved the film, their performances and their production.
Although Xuluo didn't have much sense of participation, he was happy to see their happy appearance.
With such an eager beginning, the road to the harvest of "Farewell My Concubine" has finally unfolded!
……
Coming out of the cinema, everyone was in no hurry to leave.
The members of the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" were all surrounded, and everyone was excited and excited to ask them all kinds of questions.
Chen Xiaoxu is naturally Zhang Guorong, who has the best English.
Xu Feng took Zhang Fengyi, and director Kai Ge took Ge You.
Xuluo is a person.
Naturally, the artists revolved around the actors and directors, but the businessmen spoke around Xuluo.
Xuluo is also very polite, and every time he sees someone, he has to reach out and shake hands with them warmly.
Westerners are not used to this kind of etiquette, but seeing that Xuluo is so enthusiastic, everyone is still polite and shakes hands with him one by one.
But Xuluo was not happy.
shook the hands of dozens of people in such a scene, and he didn't even give himself a hint.
It's a dog!
This group of directors and businessmen engaged in literature and art, don't they know what a commercial film is?
How can the entire film industry survive without commercial films? How do I earn money to support my family? How is it famous all over the world?!
shook hands all the way, and Xuluo spoke so much that his mouth was dry.
He had to go to the toilet first and then get a bottle of mineral water to drink.
Coldly, he saw that outside the crowd, there were two similar-looking men with glasses, surrounded by several men and women talking.
If Xuluo remembers correctly, these two people who frequently appear on the propaganda posters have not shaken hands themselves.
Their fame is not small, they come from the country of Mi, and they are famous B-grade film directors - the Coen brothers.
Although they were surrounded by people to chat, they seemed a little restrained, not talking much, more watching others talk.
Xuluo thought about it, and after drinking all the water, he approached their circle with a smile.
"Oh, you two are Director Cohen, aren't you?" Xu Luo stretched out his hand to them for the first time, "Hello, my name is Xu Luo, and I am the script adaptor of "Farewell My Concubine". ”
The few people who were talking next to him had all talked and shook hands with Xuluo just now.
They are also aware of this "strange profit" habit of Xuluo.
The Coen brothers naturally saw it just now, and it is impossible to save face when they see this.
The moment Xuluo shook hands with his brother Joel Cohen, there was a reaction in front of him.
"The good thing is to give the car first, and then pay 40,000 yuan after getting the ransom!"
"Even if we are willing to give 1 million, who can guarantee that we will release them? They captured my daughter, think about it, Wade! ”
"Jerry, I don't want to argue with you, but the 80,000 yuan is all ours now."
"The call came from the payphone in the lobby of the Blue Bull Inn, twice that night, to Minneapolis."
"The Romans were raised by wolves, so what could they do when they saw a man turn water into wine? Eat him! There are no saints in the animal world, only breakfast and dinner. ”
“……”
What appeared in front of Xuluo was an absurd and bizarre thriller movie - "Fargo".
The Chinese subtitle translates to - "Ice Blood Storm".
After watching this movie, Xuluo finally understood why the Coen brothers were known as the masters of B-grade movies.
This kind of black humor, this kind of cold and thrilling plot, and the complex and changeable relationships of the characters in the film are not something that ordinary directors can play.
It certainly does not conform to the public's aesthetics, because many of the values and plot ideas in it are a bit cold and cold.
But if you like this taste, then you will definitely rush to it and worship it as a holy product.
They will look at it over and over again, ponder, explore, and taste it over and over again.
This is also the most important reason why the sales of the Coen brothers' film works and videotapes will be among the top three in the United States.
After sighing, Xuluo shook hands with his younger brother next to him, Yin Sancoen.
"Boom~~"
Suddenly, colorful pictures and sounds appeared in front of me.
"You're always trying to fix everything, but sometimes nothing breaks."
"Our world has changed, I used to always look at the world positively, look at people, always think for the best, but now I am cautious and restless."
"Your problem is that you've spent your whole life thinking about having rules, but you don't. We used to be gorillas, and everything we had was what we could get our hands on and protect. ”
"Only a fool thinks he can solve all the problems in the world."
"You have to learn to discover the good things in this world, because if you can't see it, how are you going to live?"
“……”
What appeared in front of Xuluo was an absurd and bizarre thriller TV series - "Fargo".
The Chinese subtitle translates to - "Ice Blood Storm".
Xuluo: "!?" ”
Originally, he thought that the two brothers were making movies together and making them together, but the elder brother gave the inspiration, and the younger brother was very likely to be gone.
But I never expected to be able to play like this.
The elder brother gave the inspiration of the movie version, but the younger brother gave the enlightenment of the TV series version of Xuluo.
And "Ice Storm" has a total of three seasons, with ten episodes per season.
Except that the first season and the movie are the same version, the rest are not.
They are all stories that are captured from a certain period of time in history and then made.
But the second and third seasons are just as exciting, if not more exciting.
Because after so many years of precipitation and progress, the Coen brothers have made full progress.
Gee!
The TV series version is actually more beautiful, more exciting and exciting, and more dark and cold than the movie version......
Such a movie and TV series miracle, except for the Coen brothers, I'm afraid that few people can make it!
With such outstanding abilities, they will undoubtedly be super masters of B-grade movies and even thrillers in the coming decades!
But "Ice Storm" ......
I'm sorry, I had to take it!
