My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1236 "Farewell My Concubine" Preparations

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
It rained twice a week in Beijing.

3 days a game.

4 days a game.

It's not dance beauty, it's real rain.

Throughout August, Wu Xiaozu wandered around Australia and Southeast Asia, which was a rare long vacation for himself.In the past few years, although it has been slower, Wu Xiaozu has never really had a good rest.

This time it was a good rest.

Painting, diving, surfing, and sailing are all involved, which can be regarded as adding a bit of color to life.

At the end of August, all the fundraising in Hong Kong Island was in place, and the donation to the mainland was officially handed over. As the first person in charge, Wu Xiaozu naturally couldn't avoid coming to the capital.

Although it is the season when the northern land turns from hot to cool in July, the autumn tigers in the capital still firmly control the temperature.

In the quadrangle, several men were sitting in the courtyard with a TV set in front of them.

The coup d’état of Big Soviet Union in August is vividly remembered, and Latvia and Belarus announced their separation from the organization one after another.

"Big Brother is so...really...pull?" Feng's trousers were scratching his teeth, a bit awkward, and he couldn't say it.

It just feels unreal like falling into the air.

The dark-skinned Zhang Yimou raised his trouser legs and held a piece of ice cream in his hand, and said something abruptly.

"Time is fate, this is the trend of society, in terms of political system..."

Brother Chen Kai, whose lips were red and his face was hot, started to talk nonsense, but he glanced at Wu Xiaozu, who was smiling slightly, and then he smiled shyly and kept his voice down.

He returned to China this time to continue preparations for "Farewell My Concubine".For this reason, Zhang Yimou, who has been wandering around the world, rushed back. This year's Venice Film Festival was held in early September, so there was still time.

to be frank.

Zhang Yimou was also particularly interested in "Farewell My Concubine", but Chen Kai looked very arrogant.

"How about the script of Farewell My Concubine?" Wu Xiaozu asked Li Jinwen and Chen Guofu.

"Lu Wei is still revising the script, and there are too many contents related to the current situation and it is inconvenient." Chen Guofu stopped.

"I have been coordinating with Director Cheng in all aspects. The arrangement of props, equipment and crew is in order. At the same time, experts in Peking Opera have also been invited to be responsible for the training of the actors in singing, reciting and playing. In terms of venues, Prince Kung's Mansion and The former residence of Mr. Mei is also being coordinated, and relevant departments support it in principle..." Li Jinwen said truthfully.

Director Cheng is the director of the Beijing Studio.

It is basically difficult for a work with such a theme to proceed without the cooperation of Beijing Studios.

"Farewell My Concubine" is also the first co-production film between New Art City and Beijing Studio.

"Old Chen, I think in terms of the customs and understanding of the old society, I still want to ask Mr. Chen to come out of the mountain as a consultant for the crew. After all, their generation knows the situation at that time better..." Xiaozu Wu said to Brother Chen Kai with a smile.
The relationship between Lao Chen and Lao Chen is quite delicate.

"This..." Brother Kai scratched his face awkwardly, and moved his butt, probably feeling that Maza was somewhat uncomfortable.

"It's just art direction. I think it's a good choice for this movie. After all, Director Chen knows Peking Opera..."

Wu Xiaozu gave a step with a smile.

Chen Kaige's father is indeed a good director, especially he has a lot of research on Peking Opera, and he is considered a big fan.

Of course, later generations said that "Farewell My Concubine" was a proxy filming, which must be discrediting Triumph.

From "Yellow Earth", Chen Huaikai has been standing behind his son. Chen Kai inherited his father's working methods rather than the fruits of labor.

In fact, audiences who have watched the film can also see that from the perspective of imagery and narrative style, "Farewell My Concubine" is undoubtedly Chen Kaige's work.

Of course, it is true that Chen's father did a lot of meticulous repair and coordination work behind the scenes.

Can't you let the old director Chen love and cherish his son?After all, Brother Kai's future generations also filmed "White Porridge and Sulfur" for his son... It's very good.

Wu Xiaozu believed in his father's blessing, Chen Kai couldn't be wrong.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with my old man later." Brother Chen Kai reluctantly agreed.

Of course, I don't know what's on my mind.

"By the way, I want to discuss the direction of the script with Lu Wei. I think it can add a little bit of human description to the script, including the kind of struggle and confusion. It is used to show the inner melancholy of the characters and their insight into human nature... "Chen Kai talked eloquently.

Zhang Yimou nodded approvingly.

Feng Pants looked at the two accomplished directors hesitantly.

Human insight? ?
This is so...

But he knows who he is.

"Director Chen's speech is not ordinary, I still need to learn more." Feng Trousers smiled and added tea, "In the current mainland directors, only Director Zhang and Director Chen are the two leaders!"

"Don't, don't, don't..." Zhang Yimou waved his hands quickly.

"Well, there are still many old comrades who are better than me..." Brother Chen Kai gave way modestly.

Of course, he felt a bit grudge against Feng Pants for arranging him and Zhang Yi together.

He thinks that Zhang Yimou's film is too commercial, and the focus is on the little things... There is no pattern!

"Director Wu is more worthy of our study." Brother Chen Kai glanced at Wu Xiaozu, and flattered Wu Xiaozu with a high EQ.

It's not that Lao Chen doesn't know how to flatter.

It depends on who.

"Everyone is just learning from each other." Wu Xiaozu shook his head and smiled, "However, we still have to respect Lu Wei, Guo Fu, and Jin Wen in terms of the script. You two should also pay attention to the communication during filming."

Chen Guofu is such a fine person.

The boss didn't answer Chen Kai's words, don't you understand?

Instantly knew what to do.

"Okay, I will definitely assist Director Chen to make this movie well." Chen Guofu nodded with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Guofu understood what he said, Wu Xiaozu heaved a sigh of relief.

In the previous life, Lu Wei said: Brother Kai can be a director, but you must not let him touch the script!
In fact, it's not just his problem, the fifth generation of them all have this problem.

After staying in Beijing for a few days, Wu Xiaozu went to Lido Island with Zhang Yimou's team to attend the 48th Venice Film Festival.

This year's film festival is less star-studded.

There are a lot of big names in the contestants, and big names like Jean-Luc Godard once again brought their works to the competition.

But this era is the era of Hollywood.

Once there are no Hollywood stars to participate, the attention of the entire film festival will plummet.

Compared with Cannes' commercial reform, Venice's commercial performance is really lackluster.

If Wu Xiaozu didn't say that he was donating to promote the flood, he didn't plan to pull it to Lido Island.

Of course, giving Lao Mouzi a platform is also the purpose.

After all, [-] also has a share in the overseas copyright of "Raise the Red Lantern".
