Start with a god-level director

Chapter 80 Discussion ([-] words, [-] words updated)

Two weeks later.

As the younger brother of the current Tsar, the Grand Duke brought a group of family members to the Winter Palace on weekends.

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

After having dinner together, the members of the royal family started chatting, with various questions from all corners of the country, or things of interest.

"Uncle, is Shen Yu's new movie ready soon?"

The youngest princess of the Tsar, Mirana, a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, blinked her bright eyes and asked this question.

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

"It's okay... Many people in the school like it very much. I actually... actually want to know a little bit of the inside story, and then share it with everyone."

The current princess and prince will not be raised in a deep palace like in the past, but go to a regular school to learn and grow up. Milana went to a noble girls' school. She is very interested in Shen Yu's new movie now. After all, everyone is saying, The movie is likely to be female-dominated.

"I really don't 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. A keen reporter found out that a group of Russian actors came to the United States. At the same time, director Shen took a plane to Russia. Although there were various concealments, the customs certificate was Iron proof, so the news spread quickly.

"Uncle, everyone knows that you voted for this movie. Shen Yu was invited by you. Can you tell me a little about the plot? I heard that this is a female-themed movie, and it's about a female platoon. s story."

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

200 years ago, a world famous book could be read for a year. Some women only read a dozen or so pages at a time, and then studied the clothing matching, customs and customs in it, and used it as their own knowledge to show off to others. Reading clubs are held in the salon, etc.

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

Up to now, entertainment has been enriched a lot, and tea parties are often exchanged, and everyone also hopes to know more about themselves, casually speak out, and become the focus.

The Grand Duke had a headache. After the news came out, many people asked him about the inside story of the filming, alas.

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

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

There is a small screening room in the Winter Palace. His Majesty the Tsar sometimes goes to watch movies with his family. There are good movies from all over the world, and Shen Yu's movie copy is among them.

The Tsar’s taste is rather stubborn, and many popular movies are hard to catch. Even the movies of some movie masters often stop watching after a while.

But the Tsar liked Shen Yu's movies very much.

The Godfather Tsar watched it several times and said it was a man's movie about duty and obligation.

In fact, ruling a country is somewhat similar to the methods of the godfather. In addition to the combination of grace and power, one must also have one's 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 we are a family and do things for the whole ethnic group. Although the new godfather has achieved a brilliant career, he cut off the connection with the community and did not pay attention to his family. He wanted everything, and the tragedy happened because of this. Doomed.

The Tsar also liked the other two, such as Saving Private Gordon, His Majesty the Tsar was full of praise, saying that this kind of propaganda is correct, in fact, there can also be a Russian version, or that there were similar examples in Russia back then, if It's how good the natives take pictures.

As for the Schindler 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 serious and heavy history acceptable to the people in a domineering but ingenious way.

Propaganda... It doesn't matter to ordinary people, but the higher you go, the more attention you get, even beyond everyone's imagination.

Otherwise, how could he use the country's sharp weapon for Shen Yu?

After hearing the news about Shen Yu, His Majesty the Tsar could bear it until now without asking, which is already very polite.

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

"Oh……"

The little princess looked disappointed, and of course it was more of a pretentious act, after all, everyone knew that the Grand Duke was a shrewd person, how could he indulge Shen Yu in such nonsense.

"I met him when he was changing planes in Moscow after filming Schindler's List."

After filming Schindler's List, Shen Yu didn't fly back to the United States immediately when the plane stopped in Moscow. Instead, he stayed in Moscow for three days, visited various places of interest, and helped Ivanov and others deal with some problems. Little family problems.

For example, to visit Ivanov's grandmother's house, such as to follow Rosovsky to his ex-wife's house to visit the children and so on.

These people are Shen Yu's bodyguards. Shen Yu is just like the Godfather. In addition to giving them money and stable jobs, he also makes them feel warm.

Although they don't need to bother Shen Yu with these small things, they will be happier when Shen Yu goes. A group of people eating pancakes and the warmth of borscht together is better than anything else.

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

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

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

"Really?"

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

"what?"

The little princess's eyes turned into a heart shape at this moment. She went to school to study mathematics and physics step by step, which made her miserable. But she didn't expect that Shen Yu not only made movies creatively, but also taught himself other languages?

Of course, what she doesn't know is that Shen Yu is very grateful for the help of the great teacher in learning Russian and other languages. He can pull out the dawn here and wait quietly for Russian movies, explain them in bilingual, and then cultivate Shen Yu's dialogue and so on.

"His Russian level is almost the same as that of ordinary Russians. When he and I had dinner, we talked about a lot of things."

The Grand Duke attached great importance to this meeting, and tried to win over Shen Yu to shoot a movie in Russia, although he knew that he would be politely rejected.

But what he didn't expect was that Shen Yu would take the initiative to talk about Russia's Great Patriotic War.

"We talked about the movie, and he talked to me about his inspiration, the idea of ​​a movie about Russia. When the plane flew over the vast Russian land, he suddenly had an inspiration, so he made an appointment with me to shoot this movie."

"..."

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

The Grand Duke did not talk about his deal with Shen Yu, such dark things are not suitable for discussion on the table.

"We were very happy to talk about it. He said that when he studied the history of war, he was very interested in Russia's Great Patriotic War. The tragic sacrifice and efforts made by the Russian Empire are worthy of being remembered forever.

During the discussion, he expressed some worries to me. He is an American and doesn't know much about Russia. He was afraid of other twists and turns when filming the film.

He will try his best to find historians to check and avoid common sense mistakes, such as Russians love to drink brandy, etc., but he is also worried about other problems.

A movie is a fragile piece of fine art, and if there's even the slightest bit of dissonance in the middle, the whole story falls apart.

His first movie, The Godfather, received bad reviews in some countries after it was released, thinking that the criminals won.

Someone even conceived an ending where the heroine sees her husband addicted to power and killing people like hemp, she feels remorse, reports to the police, and destroys the Corleone family in one fell swoop... Don't laugh, someone really suggested him to shoot like this. "

Everyone laughed, and the little princess almost choked.

"His inspiration comes from watching historical materials, conceiving movies, and reflecting the epic Russian Patriotic War, but he has not personally experienced it. His identity is more sensitive. A foreigner came to shoot a Russian movie. The script will be enlarged and reviewed. .

He only has two months free and has other work arrangements.

After the movie is shot, if it receives attention from all sides, maybe someone will come and point fingers, saying that a certain plot should be shot in this way. Shen Yuyou doesn't know movies, so listen carefully and learn with an open mind!
So, he reached a gentleman's agreement with me, I only pay the money, don't care about anything else, don't ask, he guarantees that the work will satisfy me and everyone. "

When he said he was satisfied, the Grand Duke glanced at His Majesty the Tsar.

The agreement to make a movie was approved by His Majesty the Tsar, otherwise, how could he have sent his forces to America to help Shen Yu?
Idiots like Huot don't understand Shen Yu's power, but after Zhu Yourong saw those people, he immediately understood that Huot and the others were doomed, and even the people behind them would not reach out to save them, or would take the initiative to kill them .

It was the Tsar, not the Grand Duke, who was really behind the scenes.

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

This kind of thing that affects the relationship between the two countries, and the use of force to act, isn't the Grand Duke afraid of protests from the United States and the Russian Tsar?
But since everyone has done this, they must have communicated with their elder brother, the Tsar, and Zhu Yourong will naturally provide normal business consultation.

Perhaps, the one above has already ventilated.

"Satisfying everyone?"

The prince laughed, how could he satisfy everyone?Even if everyone sends 1000 rubles, someone will say why can't I get more?
"Director Shen said that the vast majority of people will be satisfied, and the remaining dissatisfied His Majesty the Tsar will make him satisfied."

"Hahaha."

His Majesty the Tsar smiled. Shen Yu's words were very interesting. Of course, those who understand understand what it means, that is, he can guarantee the satisfaction of Russian officials and the approval of the movie by His Majesty the Tsar.

Shen Yu first satisfied the tsar and the bureaucracy.

If the bureaucracy is satisfied with a certain thing, and the majority of the people are satisfied with a certain thing, that means everyone is satisfied. As for certain minorities, don’t worry about them.

"So, I muddle-headedly agreed to his conditions, and gave him a large sum of money to let him shoot the movie. As for how to shoot, the plot, and the gentleman's agreement, I don't know anything about it, but please rest assured, he said, absolutely not To vilify any Russian, except the man's penchant for drinking and fighting."

"Hahaha."

Everyone present laughed.

When the Grand Duke said this, everyone was no longer worried.

The text seems to be displeased with the mountains, and the same is true for movies, always creating conflicts and villains.

When the Wrestling Dad movie was filmed in India, the coach was arranged to play the villain role. After the movie was released, the coach was so angry that he became angry and went to heaven, and directly sued the crew. He is so good to the athletes, why should he be blacked out?This movie made him unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life!
The other party's answer is, artistic processing, sorry.

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

So, what if the Russian movie shot by Shen Yu blackens someone a little bit?
"Uncle, when the movie comes out, you must let me know..."

The little princess took the arm of the Grand Duke and asked like this.

The people present also said the same thing. After all, watching movies together as a family is also a good way to enhance their relationship.

"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 very popular. Many people came out of the movie theater and asked where the hen went after eating eggs?
Ah, this hen also laid two golden eggs before, The Godfather and Saving Private Gordon?
Go and see, what else can he pull out?

Then I learned that Director Shen is currently filming a movie in Russia. Although it is not Gotham 4, he is very interested in it all of a sudden. Many people asked the Grand Duke for details, and all kinds of things emerged one after another.

"Actually, I have news about Director Shen."

Sitting on the sidelines, the eldest princess who listened to music with earphones smiled.

In today's lounge, the eldest princess put a tape into the player when she came in, and listened to the song with headphones on.

"Sister, what news?"

The little princess rushed over happily.

"a song."

"I know, Katyusha..."

These days, there is a song being sung in Russia, Katyusha, the lead singer is Princess Sophia, her high and clear voice flies across thousands of mountains and rivers like a lark.

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

Suddenly, the little princess reflected.

A few days ago, radio stations and TV stations played Katyusha sung by the Great Princess during the prime time. It coincided with the [-]th anniversary of the victory of the Great Patriotic War (Saving Private Gordon was released in January), and this song became popular all of a sudden. up.

Many people are very curious about who created the song Katyusha, and some even said that it was written and derived by the eldest princess, but the eldest princess said that it is not her credit, and the creator will announce it in the near future.

However, the little princess did not expect that this song was actually related to Director Shen.

"Well, the story of the female platoon, this song is the theme song of the female platoon at night."

The little princess told her news, and the eldest princess glanced at the grand duke with a strange expression. She still remembered the embarrassment at that time.
