Two weeks later.

The Grand Duke, the younger brother of the current Tsar, came to the Winter Palace with a group of his family on the weekend.

Although Moscow is the capital of Russia, His Majesty the Tsar preferred the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg a little.

After dinner, the members of the royal family began to chat, with all kinds of questions or things of interest.

"Uncle, is Shen Yu's new movie ready to be filmed?"

The tsar's youngest princess, a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, Milana, blinked her bright eyes and asked this question.

"Why, Milana also likes the movies directed by Shen Da?"

"It's okay...... A lot of people in the school liked it, but I actually ...... Actually, I want to know a little bit of the inside story, and then share it with you. ”

The current princess and prince will not be raised in the deep palace as in the past, but go to a formal school to study and grow up, Milana went to a noble girls' school, and she is now very interested in Shen Yu's new movie, after all, everyone is saying that this movie is likely to be female-oriented.

"I don't really know much about this movie."

The Grand Duke sighed and shook his head.

The news that Shen Yu was filming in Russia was leaked by the United States, and a keen reporter dug out a group of Russian actors who came to the United States, and at the same time, Director Shen took a plane to Russia.

"Uncle, everyone knows that you made this movie, Shen Yu was invited by you, can you tell me a little bit of the plot, I heard people say, this is a female-themed movie, filming the story of a female soldier platoon."

The little princess pleaded in a low voice, and several noble ladies not far away were also looking at this side with great interest.

Two hundred years ago, a world famous book could be read for a year, and some women only read about ten pages at a time, and then studied the clothing and customs in it, regarded it as their own knowledge, and took it out to show off, or everyone held a book club in the salon, and so on.

The higher the level, the more you have to have outstanding talent or information.

Up to now, entertainment has been enriched a lot, and the tea party is often an exchange, and everyone wants to know more about it, and it will become the focus of attention when they say it casually.

The Grand Duke had a bit of a headache, and after the news came out, many people asked him about the inside story of the shooting, alas.

The little princess didn't get the news, and was a little sullen, still with curiosity in her eyes.

Even...... Even his elder brother, His Majesty the Tsar, looked at him with great interest.

There is a small screening hall inside the Winter Palace, and His Majesty the Tsar sometimes goes to watch movies with his family, which contains good movies from all over the world, and Shen Yu's film copies are among them.

The taste of the tsar is relatively bitten, and many popular movies are difficult to see, even the movies of some film masters often stop after watching for a while.

But Shen Yu's movie, the Tsar liked it very much.

The Godfather Tsar watched it several times, stating that it was a man's film about duty and obligation.

Ruling a country is actually a bit similar to the godfather's means, in addition to grace and power, but also have their own beliefs, many people follow the old godfather not only because of money, but also because of a sense of honor.

The old godfather made everyone believe that everyone is a family and does things for the whole community, and although the new godfather has achieved a brilliant career, he has cut off ties with the community, and he does not pay attention to his family, he wants everything, and tragedy is doomed.

The other two, the tsar also liked very much, such as saving the soldier Gordon, His Majesty the Tsar was full of praise, saying that this kind of propaganda is right, in fact, there can also be a Russian version, or rather, Russia back then, there were similar examples, how good it would be if it was filmed by its own people.

As for Schindler's list, the tsar asked the people in the propaganda department to read it five times, so that those people could understand how to make the people accept the serious and heavy history from a royal but ingenious angle.

Publicize...... This thing doesn't matter to ordinary people, but the higher it goes, the more attention it gets, even beyond everyone's imagination.

Otherwise, how could he use the state's sharp weapons for Shen Yu?

After His Majesty the Tsar learned the news of Shen Yu, he was able to endure it until now without asking, which was already very polite.

"Shen Yu's movie, I haven't read the script."

"Oh......"

The little princess looked disappointed, of course, she was more pretentious, after all, everyone knew that the grand duke was a shrewd person, how could she indulge Shen Yu like this.

"I met with him when he was in transit in Moscow after he had filmed Schindler's list."

After filming Schindler's list, Shen Yu did not fly back to the United States immediately when the plane stopped in Moscow, but stayed in Moscow for three days, visiting various places of interest and helping Ivanov and others deal with some minor family problems.

For example, to visit Ivanov's grandmother's house, for example, to follow Rosovsky to his ex-wife's house to visit the children, etc.

These people are Shen Yu's bodyguards, and Shen Yu is like a godfather, in addition to giving them money and a stable job, they also make them feel warm.

Although they don't have to trouble Shen Yu about these little things, they will be even happier when Shen Yu goes, and the warmth of a group of people eating small crepes and borscht together is better than anything else.

Shen Yu's whereabouts were naturally noticed by the Russian media, and some reporters came to interview, of course, the relevant information could not be concealed from the Grand Duke in charge of propaganda.

He invited Shen Yu to have a meal together, thinking that Shen Yu would refuse, but he didn't expect that Shen Yu would agree.

"At the dinner table, I had a good conversation with him, I didn't expect that he actually knew Russian."

"Really?"

"Yes, although it is not authentic, but there is no problem with fluent conversation, he is a genius, he has not only made movies non-stop in this year, but also learned the languages of several countries."

"Huh?"

The little princess's eyes turned into a heart shape at this moment, and she went to school to learn mathematics, physics, etc. step by step, which made her feel painful, but she didn't expect that Shen Yu not only creatively made movies, but also taught herself other Chinese?

Of course, what she didn't know was that Shen Yu learned Russian and other Chinese languages, and thanks to the help of the big teacher, he could pull out the dawn here and quietly wait for Russian movies, explain in bilingual, and then cultivate Shen Yu's dialogues and so on.

"His level of Russian is already about the same as that of an ordinary Russian, and he talked a lot about it when we had dinner with me."

The Grand Duke valued the meeting very much, and tried to win over Shen Yu to make a film in Russia, although he knew that this would be politely refused.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Yu actually took the initiative to talk about the Great Patriotic War in Russia.

"We talked about the film, and he told me about his inspiration, the idea of a Russian film, and when the plane flew over the vast Russian land, he suddenly had an inspiration, so he made an agreement with me to make this film."

“……”

In the lounge, everyone stopped and listened to the Grand Duke's nonsense.

The Grand Duke did not tell about his deal with Shen Yu, and this kind of dark thing is not suitable for discussion on the table.

"We talked very happily, he said that when he studied the history of the war, he was very interested in the Great Patriotic War in Russia, and the Russian Empire paid a tragic sacrifice and effort, which deserves to be remembered forever.

During the conversation, he expressed some concern to me, that he was an American, that he didn't know much about Russia, and that he was afraid that there would be other twists and turns when it came time to make a movie.

He would try to find a historian to check that there would be no common-sense mistakes, such as the Russians' love of brandy, but he was also worried about other problems.

The film is a fragile piece of fine art, and if there is even the slightest dissonance in between, the whole story will completely collapse.

The godfather of his first film, after its release, had bad reviews in some countries, thinking that it was the criminals who won, which was not good, and the ending should be to catch the criminals all in one place, so that it is educational.

Someone even conceived an ending in which the heroine saw her husband obsessed with power and murderous, repented, reported to the police, and smashed the Corleone family in one fell swoop...... Don't laugh, someone really suggested that he shoot like this. ”

Everyone laughed, and the little princess almost choked.

"His inspiration comes from watching historical materials, conceiving films, reacting to the singing and crying Russian Great Patriotic War, but he has not personally experienced it, his identity is more sensitive, a foreigner comes to shoot a Russian film, and the script will be magnified and reviewed.

He only has two months to spare, and he has other work schedules.

After the filming of this movie, if it receives attention from all sides, maybe someone will come over and point fingers, saying that a certain plot should be filmed like this, Shen Yu, you don't know how to film, listen to it well, learn with an open mind!

So, he and I made a gentleman's agreement, I only paid for it, I didn't care about anything else, I didn't ask, and he promised that the work would satisfy me and everyone. ”

Saying that he was satisfied with this, the Grand Duke glanced at His Majesty the Tsar.

The agreement to make the film was approved by His Majesty the Tsar, otherwise, how could he send forces to the United States to help Shen Yu?

Hult's stupidity didn't understand Shen Yu's power, but after Zhu Yourong saw that group of people, he immediately understood that Hult and the others were dead, and even the people behind them would not reach out to save them, or would take the initiative to kill them.

The real mastermind behind this was the Tsar, not the Grand Duke.

If the Grand Duke privately sent someone to do it, it was called rebellion in ancient times.

Isn't the Grand Duke afraid of such a thing that affects the relations between the two countries, and the use of force to act, and the Russian tsar is afraid of it?

But since everyone has done this, then they must have been angry with their brother Tsar, and Zhu Yourong naturally provided normal business consulting.

Perhaps, the upper ones have already ventilated.

"To make everyone happy?"

There is a prince who laughs, how can it be possible to satisfy everyone? Even if everyone gives 1000 rubles, someone will say why can't I take more? .

"Director Shen said that the vast majority of people will be satisfied, and the rest of the dissatisfied Tsar's Majesty will satisfy him."

"Hahaha."

His Majesty the Tsar smiled, Shen Yu's words were very interesting, and of course he knew what he meant, that is, he could guarantee that the Russian officials would be satisfied and that His Majesty the Tsar would approve of the film.

Shen Yu first satisfied the tsar and the bureaucracy.

If the bureaucracy is satisfied with something, the majority of the people are satisfied with something, that is, everyone is satisfied, and as for certain minorities, they don't care.

"So, I agreed to his conditions in a daze, and took out a large sum of money for him to shoot a movie, as for how to shoot, what the plot is, and the gentleman's agreement, I don't know anything, but don't worry, he said that he will never scandalize any Russian, except for men's habits of drinking and fighting."

"Hahaha."

Everyone present laughed.

When the Grand Duke said this, everyone was not worried.

The text seems to look at the mountains and does not like the peace, and the same is true for movies, which always create conflicts and villains.

When India filmed the wrestling bar dad movie, the coach was arranged to play the negative role, and after the movie was released, the coach was so angry that one Buddha was on fire and the other Buddha ascended to heaven, and directly sued the crew, he was so good to the athlete, why did he hack him? This movie made him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life!

The other party's answer was, artistic processing, sorry.

But this artistic processing can ruin a person, a very famous person, and even become history after ten or a hundred years.

So, what if Shen Yu's Russian movie blackens someone a little?

"Uncle, after the movie comes out, you must notify me......"

The little princess took the Grand Duke's arm and asked.

The people present also said the same, after all, watching movies together as a family is also a good way to enhance relationships.

"Okay, okay."

The Grand Duke said that the matter was finally over.

Alas...... During this time, Schindler's list was released in Russia and was a huge hit, and many people came out of the cinema and asked where the hens had gone after eating eggs?

Ah, this hen also laid two golden eggs before, The Godfather and Saving Private Gordon?

Go and see, what other eggs can he pull?

Then I learned that Director Shen is now filming a movie in Russia, although it is not Gotham 4, but he is also very interested at once, and many people ask the Grand Duke for details, and all kinds of things are endless.

"Actually, I have a message from Director Shen."

The eldest princess, who was sitting on the side and listening to the song with headphones, smiled.

In today's lounge, Princess Celestia put a cassette tape in the player from the time she came in, put headphones on it, and listened to the songs.

"Sister, what's the news?"

The little princess pounced happily.

"A song."

"I know, Katyusha......"

During these days, a song is being sung in Russia, Katyusha, the lead singer is the eldest princess Sophia, her high and clear voice flies over thousands of mountains and rivers like a lark.

"Ah, this song...... This song is the theme song of that movie directed by Shen? ”

Suddenly, the little princess reflected.

The other day, radio and television, in prime time, broadcast Katyusha sung by Princess Celestia, which coincided with the twentieth anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War (the release time of Saving Private Gordon was January), and the song became popular all at once.

Many people are curious about who created the song Katyusha, and some even say that it was written and directed by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess said that it was not due to her, and the creator would announce it soon.

However, the little princess didn't expect that this song was actually related to Director Shen.

"Well, the story of the women's platoon, this song is the theme song of the women's platoon at night."

The little princess said her news, and the eldest princess glanced at the grand duke with a strange face, and she still remembered the embarrassment at that time.
