Chapter 204: A Son Who Devoted Himself to Work

"I remember that two years ago, Chen Kaige won the Golden Bear Award for "Farewell My Concubine", you went to Tokyo to play such a big curve to save the country, just to get a silver bear?"

Because of her son's work, her mother has a little understanding of the film and television industry, and she will go to Germany after hearing Su Changqing Festival during the Chinese New Year, and she can't help but ask questions about her soul.

It's just that this curve to save the country is too ugly to say, and in addition, the development of Tokyo is not only for awards, but also for a large market in Asia.

Because of the lack of information, she obviously has a misunderstanding of the Golden Bear Award, and takes it for granted that the Gold Award is higher than the Silver Award.

Of course, this is not right, because the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award are not in a comparative dimension, the main awards of the Berlin Film Festival are the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award, both of which are the highest honors of the festival, the Golden Bear Award is awarded to films, such as best feature films, documentaries, science and education films, art films, and the Silver Bear Award is awarded to individuals, such as best director, actor and actress, screenwriter, music, photography, art, etc

Therefore, the Golden Bear Award is a compliment to the whole film, a collective honor, and for directors, screenwriters, actors and others, the highest honor is to win the Silver Bear Award, and winning the Silver Bear Award is after being crowned emperor at the Berlin Film Festival.

After listening to Su Changqing's explanation, his mother only sighed, and then changed the subject: "I will retire at fifty-five in two years." ”

"Why are you retiring again?"

This is an obvious fact, but Su Changqing was a little surprised.

"You're twenty-seven, I don't have to retire, you want me to be thirty-seven?"

Su Changqing had the illusion that his previous life was about to merge, like a train merging from a branch line to the main line.

When he was reborn, his mother had been retired for more than 20 years, and he had been scolded for more than 20 years, and he knew that the second round would officially start today.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Su Changqing looked innocent with a clear conscience: "No." ”

The mother hated iron but not steel: "I see those directors and actors making peachy news every day, how come you don't even have a girlfriend?"

"Am I not dedicated to my work? ”

"If you have one, bring it back and take a look, your father and I will help check it, don't be embarrassed. ”

"I really don't, and I'm not looking for a man, so what's embarrassing. ”

This generation is simply uneducated, and my mother obviously didn't understand: "What does it mean to find a man?"

Su Changqing didn't bother to explain to her: "Don't worry, when I find it, I will definitely bring it back, what's the hurry." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll give you another two years, don't blame me for being anxious if I haven't brought it back before I'm thirty years old. ”

Su Changqing has been dealing with this set of Su Changqing for twenty years, and he is familiar with it: "I know." ”

"In addition, you have to have a long snack, don't get me a Japanese girl back, I'm afraid your old Su family ancestors can't stand it. ”

If this is really the case, then it is really a confused ancestor and ancestors, and if you go home and don't suffer, what can't you stand it.

"Don't worry. ”

At the beginning of February, he was about to fly to Germany in a week, and Su Changqing set off from Shanghai and did not return to Beijing.

He was very busy throughout January, and around the 10th he went to Tokyo to see the half-finished product of "Thief Family".

Takeshi Kitano filmed very well, and the six story lines were handled completely and clearly, without a trace of sensationalism, but the whole film was deeply moving.

Su Changqing said to him: "If this film can't win the Golden Bear Award, I will quit the film industry." ”

"Changqingjun's script is impeccable, if you can't win the Silver Bear Award, I'll just cut a finger for you. ”

Of course, this is all a joke, smart people don't tie their fate to others, Takeshi Kitano has always liked jokes about cutting his fingers, and if he fulfilled them, he would have been cut off a long time ago.

Su Changqing's script is indeed very well written, hiding many heart-tugging details, which may not be very friendly to ordinary audiences, but people who love literary films will undoubtedly be deeply moved.

For example, a female college student who ran away from home gave herself a fake name Saika, although she gave other stage names when she worked in a custom shop, but in front of a favorite mute guest, she called herself Saka, and when the male protagonist picked up a little girl, she also suggested the name Saka.

The name is never just a code name, as the life history of the six people is revealed little by little, the audience will find that she is from a wealthy family and is not treated well by her parents, and she has a younger sister named Saika, who is loved by everyone, including female college students.

Everything goes without saying, for female college students, Saka means being loved.

There are many films with details like this, and the audience may have to watch them twice to fully appreciate them, but they can hit the hearts of professional judges in one fell swoop, so this is a film created for awards.

First of all, the plot of "The Undertaker" will be much simpler, and what is touching is the style and spirit of the whole film, which is easier to resonate with ordinary audiences, after all, there may not be thieves in the family, but everyone has died, and the box office is expected to exceed "Thief Family" after winning the award.

In addition, the performance of the heroine Ikumi Oki is particularly eye-catching, surpassing the male protagonist played by Takeshi Kitano himself, and the more she looks at it, the more she feels that she looks like Jiang Shan.

Kitano Takeshi secretly told Su Changqing: "I promised her to seal the queen, at least in Japan." ”

Seeing that the relationship between the two was ambiguous, Su Changqing laughed: "What if you don't do it, what will the seniors cut this time?"

Takeshi Kitano reacted quickly, made a clicking gesture, and laughed.

In addition, he plans to hold a press conference before leaving for Germany: "I listened to Chang Qingjun's advice, and I have always kept a low profile during the filming, and now I am going to the exhibition, so I have to notify the media to pay attention to the news." ”

Now it's time to cooperate with the media, and everyone needs news.

In addition to Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu", the leading actors are basically selected, and Su Changqing made a suggestion to set Ah Zhu and Ah Zi as twins, and Mu Mu plays them respectively.

Du Keke didn't understand: "Although the two in the original book look exactly the same, they are also sisters, but they are not twins, why should they be played by one person, these two roles are very outstanding, Mu Mu plays Ah Zi, and then arranges an actress to play Ah Zhu, and it may be another popular." ”

The 03 version of "Dragon Babu" is played by two people, Azhu Azi, the heartthrob Ah Zi is not very outstanding, but Liu Tao is popular.

Of course, Su Changqing's suggestion that all of them be played by Mu Mu is not a preference, firstly, to respect the original work, and secondly, to take care of the image of other characters.

In the original book, Ah Zhu and Ah Zi look exactly the same, but Jin Yong may have an appetite for the sake of looking good when the plot unfolds, so he did not set them as twins, but two sisters.

Since they look exactly the same, the performance should be exactly the same, in the 03 version, Chen Hao said to Liu Tao Why do we both look exactly the same, is this when the audience is blind?

When the truth of the life experience is finally revealed, the plot will be difficult to see, and it will ruin the image of Duan Zhengchun and their mother Ruan Xingzhu.

The two cheated and gave birth to children, if it is twins, although it is not a human thing to give away, it is still watchable, but one is born this year and one is given away, and another one is given away next year, which is probably not as good as livestock, right?

Du Keke sighed: "If you say so, then Mu Mu has to take the lead, but I still think that you are taking care of your own woman." ”

There are some things to take care of, Ah Zi is not only a savage girlfriend, but also has done a lot of immoral things, so that Mu Mu can play Ah Zhu at the same time to balance the image, which is also salty and sweet.

Regarding going to Berlin, Germany to participate in the film festival, Du Keke also asked: "Do you want to take two of us to walk the red carpet together, this is a rare opportunity to show your face." ”
