Chapter 61 The Sunset at Sanchome
"Chachuan is a floppy novelist who lives in Sanchome. He once contributed articles to a literary magazine, but it was not so floppy. Later, with the development of society, the market for serious literature became smaller and smaller, and the magazine he contributed gradually turned to a light novel at a young age, changing to a low price and volume development route.
However, Chachuan was unwilling to accept the persuasion of the magazine editor-in-chief, and changed the character of the protagonist to a more blurred face, so as to be compatible with more new readers to gain a sense of substitution. After Chachuan's novels received many letters from readers and cold receptions from market research, the editor-in-chief had to lower Chachuan's recording rate and remuneration standards. However, although Chachuan was poor, he did not change his original intention and insisted on his creative philosophy.
Hiromi, the owner of a dance hall in Sanchome, had a good impression of Chakawa and entrusted an orphan Junnosuke to Chakawa for adoption. At first, Chakawa didn't want to agree, but he heard that the child was his own fan of the book, so he reluctantly couldn't agree. Later, he found that the child's tender and unharsh strokes were even more popular than Chakawa when writing his works, which made him feel even more ridiculous of life. At the same time, the emergence of the child and Hiromi made Chakawa, who once did not have to worry about raising a woman and having to face the responsibilities of life."
"Yi Taro is a neighbor of Chakawa in Sanchome. He was once a Luoyu performer who had not yet started his career. Two years ago, with the popularity of television, nhk TV invited his Taoro's master to perform Luoyu on TV, but was rejected by his Taoro's master.
Taro didn't understand why his master refused to go to TV, which is the art form of Luoyu, which is seen by more young people, so he left his master and chose to accept the invitation from nhk TV station, becoming a TV language teacher who seems to be glamorous. In order to learn a new form of Luoyu suitable for TV performance, he also went to China to learn crosstalk, making Luoyu more suitable for performing on TV. However, while making money, his inner worry became increasingly greater and greater, and he always felt that this was not the Luoyu the master wanted to teach him."
"Ruzi is a middle school graduate who came to Beijing from rural areas in the northeast to work. He lived in Suzuki's car repair factory opposite Teakawa and worked as an apprentice. President Suzuki has great ambitions and wants to eventually turn the car factory into a large brand car dealer. Faced with the invasion of American cars produced by a large number of extensive production methods represented by Ford cars.
President Suzuki was inspired by Liuzi and realized that 'there is no future for competing with Ford/General Motors to standardize, flow and batch production. If you want Fusang people to sell their own cars all over the world, you must adopt lean production methods and respect customers' customization requirements for cars. Just like tailoring, let customers feel respect. First order the car and then build the car. All the internals are selected by the customers themselves. From selling what they make to making what they sell, and making what they make. In the end, the rise of the national automobile industry was achieved and the rotten cars of the Americans were driven out of the country."
"This is a group portrait story between writers in the decline period of the Three-Cho Me, the confused language teacher and the rising car manufacturer technician. And the drag, bond, and lovers they have to face."
Cai Mingliang looked roughly at the outline of the script of Gu Chengmo's modified version of "Sunset of the Three Chronicles", and immediately became scattered.
He felt that the power that he had gathered in his heart when he filmed "The Unbreakable" last year did not seem to be well vented.
Although "Not Away" just won the Critics Award at the Venice Film Festival a few months ago.
The script idea that Gu Chengmo modified in front of him is simply more positive than his "Don't Spread", and the idea of pointing out a way out for those who are confused is cleaner and neat.
The historical "Sunset of Sanchome" was prepared by Fuso director Takashi Yamazaki in the second half of this year and was filmed in early 2005. Its original intention is just a small production art film that "discovers the beauty of life".
But just "discovering the beauty of life" was also a rare weather vane in the Fusang film industry in 2005. Before that, the field of art films was filled with various ways of "let the soon-to-be-eliminated warriors face the bleak life and rushing towards machine guns". There were only the collapse of rituals and music everywhere, and the beauty of details in social transformation was not seen, the details were heartwarming and the frontal struggle.
Of course, because the original drama is set in the 1950s and 1960s in Tokyo, it was the booming period of Fusang society, just like the economic income surged from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, and the laid-off wave was still coming, so everything was profitable. So after the filming was finally made, it also made a lot of tears from the audience in Fusang, just like the Chinese people in later generations who felt that life was so bad that they watched the rebirth of those traveling back to the 1980s and 1990s, which traveled back to the 1980s and 1990s.
Under the dual factors, this "Sunset of Sancho" was very cruelly slaughtered 13 awards and 14 nominations at the 2005 Fusang Film Academy Awards (Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenwriter, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Soundtrack, Best Photography, Best Lighting, Best Art, Best Recording, Best Editing, Best Newcomer. Except for the Best Actress, only nominated but not won the award, all others won the award)
Although the Fusang Film Academy Award is not a great international film festival award, it is the highest award in Fusang. This award is set up imitating the American "Media Film Academy Award"; and the "Media Film Academy Award" is commonly known as the Oscar.
It is precisely because this film has slaughtered so many awards that it is still quite famous in history. Although for the later generations, Gu Cheng, this was a "movie made five or six years before he was born", he still vaguely remembered the reputation of the film. As a result, when Lin Zhiling went to Fusang to scan the notebook, Gu Cheng suddenly felt enlightened when he swept this film. The story was in line with each other and the idea was not high enough, it was also in line with it, which was much better than the stories that could be found in China during the same period.
Worth a magical modification.
After being modified by Gu Cheng, the factors that made Fusang people regress and make tears have been reduced, but the pain and transformation brought about by the upgrading of media technology in an era are reflected more profoundly than the original version.
Among them, the addition of Luoyu Master and Taro is a completely new character. There is no such line in the original script draft. However, in order to strengthen the rise and fall of the career line, Gu Cheng seamlessly added such a confused bond between the rise and fall. Finally, he arranged some frustrating writers to help him find his true heart and understand the true meaning of art.
The only trouble is that after Lin Zhiling spent 100 million yen to buy a notebook, the original author Takashi Yamazaki was reluctant to let go of his creativity and asked to serve as an associate director and deputy screenwriter. Lin Zhiling asked Gu Cheng for instructions and agreed.
From the standpoint of Takashi Yamazaki, with Gu Cheng, a big funder involved, the investment funds were guaranteed, and on the other hand, Gu Cheng's intention to make a higher mind than him. With a pure artist's heart, he was also eager to know how far Gu Cheng could finally raise the script.
...
"This book is great! I've shot it! I've picked up the treasure. I'd known that you could have modified such a script, and you took it out when you saw Brother Li first. Maybe he wouldn't think about shooting his substrate every day, but now I'm not allowed to regret it, I've already taken it!"
Cai Mingliang was so excited that his slut on his bald head were a little shiny. The more he read the script, the more he liked it. He also felt awe of Gu Cheng's insight.
Sure enough, this world is going to be a master. People who are purely engaged in movies do not know much about the progress of media technology and have not studied the historical impact of media technology progress. How could they write such a book?
"Don't worry, since this movie has been asked for you, I still have to talk about this loyalty." Gu Cheng's answer was very straightforward.
"Then are you interested in the actors? The technical crew members are not a big deal, they are just troublesome to the actors. No matter how much this book is modified, the background of Fusang cannot be completely erased. I guess some Fusang actors will need to be used."
Cai Mingliang knew that Gu Cheng was a rich man, so he didn't care about the raising of light props and sets of crew members and equipment. Anyway, this aspect can be done by spending money. Moreover, there is no martial arts show in this movie, so it can be made into a small production at a glance, and it doesn't choose the level of a special technician.
Of course, if the money is really too much to spend, you can spend more money on the street scene layout and try to restore the Tokyo street scene in the 1950s and 1960s. If you do this, you need to find a construction team in Fuso, and it is estimated that tens of millions of dollars will be spent.
Faced with Cai Mingliang's problem, Gu Cheng sincerely answered: "Director Cai, this depends on your Fusang language level. My Fusang language is fine. If you have no problem, you can consider more Fusang actors, so they can be more able to be substituted into the plot."
Cai Mingliang also patted his chest and said he was not afraid: "Fortunately, I have no problem. Our older generation directors here in Wanwan have learned Fusang language at home."
Gu Cheng talked deeply about the role settings with Cai Mingliang, while pondering the detailed modifications of the script, and then listed the general intended role actors.
Of course, this job cannot be done in one day, because after I have an intention here, Lin Zhiling has to call each other to ask if the other party is rewarded, discuss the pay and schedule...
So, Gu Cheng lived in Taipei for three days, and thanks to the high efficiency of opening the circuit of the silver bullet, the actors he encountered basically did not have any pay problems, it depends on whether there was a schedule. Lin Zhiling was so busy that he was annoyed and got the man.
Only some artists under Gu Cheng are on call and do not need to consider the other party's opinions.
"I will play the role of the street writer Chakawa himself. Master Luoyu and Taro, please listen to your opinion and find Kim Seitake. The dance hall owner Hiromi, I am looking for Mika Nakajima here. She has been in our company for three years and has acted in two TV series, including "Shibuya Scar Love", which is suitable for those roles with a bit of dust. The Yoshino Riko of Suzuki Automobile, will use our company's newcomer Maki Horikita, and......"
Cai Mingliang did not explicitly object to most people on this list, but when Gu Cheng mentioned that Maki Horikita, a newbie who had just trained for two years of acting and had no practical experience at all, he had some doubts.
To be honest, Gu Cheng didn't know why Yamazaki wanted to use Maki Horikita as a pure newcomer in history. Moreover, Maki Horikita was so pretty baby-fat before the age of 16. He looked like a cute and cute local buzz. But after Gu Cheng in his previous life saw Maki Horikita played the role, he felt that the "growth ability" reflected by this character was very appropriate.
This is also the only wayward thing when he and Cai Mingliang mediated.
"Okay, then I'll arrange an audition for these people and give her a chance. If Maki Horikita is not strong enough, I can't blame me." After all, Cai Mingliang is a great director who has won the Golden Lion Award, so he still has this kind of artistic persistence.
"Of course, if her temperament is not in line with her acting skills, you can do whatever you want." Gu Cheng agreed immediately.
"Huh? It seems that it is not the woman who has been sleeping with that boy Gu Cheng, otherwise it would not have been possible to agree to be so relaxed." Cai Mingliang thought to himself that the evaluation of Gu Cheng's lolic control attributes was also reduced.
