Chapter 242 Master’s Work?(14)

In fact, it’s not considered public relations…

Just meet and have a chat.

From a relationship perspective, Hou Xiaoxian is obviously closer to her... They are both Taiwanese filmmakers...

Xu Feng was the first producer to set up a stall to sell Chinese-language films in Cannes!

He was also a poetry-reciting master that I met that year...

Xu Feng talked about "Farewell My Concubine", mainly talking about the little master of poetry:

"In 1991, "Walking and Singing" was released. After Lu Wei and Li Bihua watched the movie, neither of them understood what he wanted to express in the movie, so they reached a consensus: Chen can be the director, but he must not be allowed to touch the script. Chen Xinran agreed. At that time, he was relatively easy to talk to and willing to listen to other people's opinions..."

"Including using Leslie Cheung... He insisted on using Zun Long. In the final vote, several main creators, including directors, screenwriters, and producers, finally decided by voting. Among the five "ballots", Leslie Cheung accounted for 4. Even though he won with an absolute advantage, he did not insist on it... If it were now, there would be no voting at all, he would just decide it himself!"

Shen Xudong suddenly interrupted: "Mr. Zun Long is also pretty good..."

"Well, before filming started, Leslie Cheung resigned once due to schedule reasons, so we hired Zun Lung. Zun Lung himself wanted to play Cheng Dieyi, but his manager was really outrageous!"

Chen Daoming suddenly said something: "I heard that Zun Long has also returned to China to develop and is very close to Deng Jianguo..."

"It seems there will be a screening tomorrow? Go and see it?"

Back to the topic, Shen Xudong was originally worried that he would not be able to understand the movie without subtitles...

"She has a good relationship with Hou Xiaoxian?"

"Yes, it's a Japanese film!"

Shen Xudong resisted his sleepiness and persisted until the end. He woke up Cao Xiwen and the two left the screening room...

He is very influential in Europe!

"Of course I want to go. They are all Chinese filmmakers, so I must support them..."

For the cast of "Farewell My Concubine" who established contact with foreign stars for the first time...

"Who said that? You think it's easy to lie down...I can't move my waist?"

Including that Zunlong must use mineral springs flown from foreign countries or Hong Kong every day to wash his face; he must be equipped with a camping car, and he must have a dedicated tennis court and swimming pool...

After finding a place to drink some soda, Shen Xudong looked at Cao Xiwen speechlessly: "Didn't you say that you like the works directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien the most?"

There is no drama, and it is difficult to feel the emotional tension. The camera is always following the heroine Yoko but cannot capture her state, but there is no plot...

…

"...It's very simple. Just treat yourself as a tourist and you don't have to pay for accommodation..."

"That's because I didn't sleep well last night...and it's not because of you!"

His influence even surpassed that of Edward Yang.

Wang Qingqiang explained with a smile: "After a brief chat, she knows what we mean, and we also understand her thoughts..."

Manager means agent...

Feel insulted.

"Then you're not worried at all?"

In order to promote "Kangxi Private Interview 5", Deng Jianguo did everything possible, concocting series such as "Zun Long returned to China to film movies after he couldn't survive in Hollywood" and "Zun Long fell in love with Chen Chong but couldn't get it, so he never married her" and other series rumor…

"And Jia Zhangke's "The World"!"

It is said to be a work commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Ozu Yasujiro.

Many people commented on "Coffee Time" and said, 'Hou Xiaoxian is very restrained'...

Ahem, the topic went a bit off track. Cao Xiwen changed the topic: "Why do I feel that when you come to Venice this time, you have no concern for whether the film will win or not? How did you do it?"

"But "Coffee Time" seems to be a Japanese film?"

"Coffee Time" is different.

Cao Xiwen was stubborn and insisted to the end: "...I...I like it!"

…

"I was really angry at that time. I thought if I had made a mistake, you want me to go through the back door for your dog. What the hell, I'll screw you. I was very angry, so I decided to replace Zun. dragon!"

"Can you please be reasonable? It's obviously me who contributed... you just shouted twice at the top of your lungs..."

"Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" are often played in the tribute segment before the Oscar awards, which shows that A Mou is still very recognized by the old American academy...

In fact, there are fourth and fifth...

In fact, Ozu's movies are not that unusual. Although the stories are detailed, all the details have a beginning and an end, and are taken care of completely. This is how a detailed life movie should be.

If you think too much, you can even watch "Coffee Time" even if there are subtitles!

This is a very indescribable movie...

Shen Xudong was surprised: "Teacher Chen still pays attention to this?"

People always like to call the dull plot as restrained.

"When his contract came over, I looked at it and stopped reading it when I saw the third one. In the first one, he said that he and his dog would fly on the best airline in the world. I was thinking I really don’t know which airline is the best in the world. The most important thing is the second one. He said that his dog must go out of customs at the same time as him and cannot be in the customs, because usually after arriving at a place, the dog Dogs usually have to wait at customs for three days..."

"Outstanding Citizen" is on its third day of screening. Apart from relevant domestic reports, there is no local news about "Outstanding Citizen" in Venice...

After chatting briefly for a while, Xu Feng left...

However, things with little content cannot be restrained, and things that can be restrained are usually violent.

Poetry masters belong to the category that cannot be ranked!

"I heard from Guo Li that Deng Jianguo asked Zun Long to film "Kangxi Private Interview 5"..."

Hou Xiaoxian won the Golden Lion Award for "City of Sadness" that year!

"Cinema Biweekly" introduced Hou Xiaoxian as early as 1984. "Cinema Cahiers" published nearly 50 articles related to Hou Hsiao-hsien's films and more than 30 professional film criticism articles. Except "Tap Tap" and "The Grass is Green by the River", other works are involved.

It's normal, after all, neither the director nor the starring actors in this film are well-known overseas.

By the way, the status ranking of Chinese filmmakers in Europe, Wang Jiawei, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Yang Dechang, A Mou, Li Min...

"Coffee Time" is terrible. I wanted to capture the details of life, but it was all about life and there was no story to tell!

Of course, Zhang Guoli had dealt with Deng Jianguo, and the two collaborated on "Kangxi Private Interviews" Parts 1 to 4. Due to different ideas, Zhang Guoli no longer had any contact with him...

Maybe this is the difference between the works of masters and ordinary audiences...

Do you have to fly in mineral water to wash your face?

How noble is your face?

…

"You're all asleep..."

Shen Xudong was a little puzzled: "Isn't it a public relations person?"

"Am I worried that I can win the prize?"

After a pause, Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Instead of worrying about things that you can't change, it's better to think about what to eat at night..."

Cao Xiwen immediately answered: "I want to eat rice!"

"Then call Teacher Chen and let's go to a Chinese restaurant to have something to eat..."
