Chapter 722 Talk to the director on the phone

While listening to Zhang Nian's explanation and playing the movie, Liu Chen also began to think about it. It seemed that he had thought about the movie a bit simple in the past. Tianlai Novel

But is the director really thinking so complicated when shooting a movie? Liu Chen was also puzzled about this. He really wanted to call Director Li now and ask, do you think so much when you created it?

At this point, Jin Dong'er walked in wearing big shorts, handed her phone over, and said a little sour: "Give it to me, someone will look for it."

Liu Chen stood up and answered the phone. There was a laughter coming from the other side, teasing Liu Chen when he had a secretary. He knew it was Moritian Xuezi when he heard the sound. The two chatted for a few words. It was obvious that she didn't make much money in the last time she sniped the Apple stock market. She was always worried and wanted to get some useful news from Liu Chen. She always felt that Liu Chen had something to hide from her.

She asked Liu Chen what he was doing.

"Learn movie knowledge."

"It seems that we have thought of going together. I also think the next ten years will be the golden period of the film exhibition, and I am ready to make some investments."

Liu Chenxin said, I didn't want to invest in a movie, but the two of them followed the movie. Xuezi said that she was participating in a movie union event. Liu Chen felt moved when he heard it and hurriedly asked her which directors were there.

Xuezi talked about Spielberg, Soderbergh and other major directors. After saying that, she asked, "Liu Chen, do you think I want to invest in a movie?"

"I don't understand the movie either, so I really can't give you any advice."

"Hmph, you just pretend to be stupid all day long. You have never played in the stock market before. Even the most professional stockbrokers on Wall Street can't calm down."

"Xuezi, you really praised me. It might be better if you don't have too much purpose in doing things."

Xuezi couldn't hear what he meant, so she was naturally shy and sticky for a while.

Liu Chen felt a little moved and asked her if Director Li An was there.

Yukiko Morita is naturally beautiful, and has three-dimensional facial features. She is a look that is both popular in the East and the West. She is also like a fish in water in this party of filmmakers, shuttled through from time to time and was at ease.

"Miss Morita, if you are interested in making movies, you must call me." Cameron, the director who filmed the Titanic, said that in the eyes of her Hollywood colleagues, Cameron is a paranoid and money-burning machine, but it cannot be denied that he is a genius who not only creates miraculous movie box office, but also can equip business and art.

Xuezi was not interested in Cameron, so she said a few words politely, then left.

Just finished filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson's little eyes were radiant.

Spielberg remained elegant.

Xuezi was traveling through the crowd and finally saw the Chinese looking figure in the corner next to her. She had a good memory. I remember seeing Li An’s name on the list of parties, but I searched and couldn’t find it. It turned out that he was hiding here.

Although Li An has won some honors in the United States, she is still recognized by the mainstream. She is still wandering around the edge in the director circle. He is not social in character and has to drink alone. He never expected that Xueko Morita, who is like a sociable girl, would take the initiative to talk to him.

After Liu Chen finished calling, he walked back with his cell phone and said softly: "Sorry, there are some mundane things to deal with, Teacher Zhang, let's continue."

Zhang Nian smiled. Naturally, she would not be unhappy at all. Instead, she felt that Liu Chen was very friendly and cared about her feelings. She continued: "In the play "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An used the method of alternately showing an open plot line and a hidden plot line to complete her director's vocabulary, and put forward her views on the future of Eastern and Western cultures and even the entire human race. In this movie, the Yu Jiaolong played by Zhang Ziyi is a bright line, a representative symbol of Western culture, symbolizing the infinite expansion of desires, and symbolizing that people should open and freely realize their desire pursuits without limit."

"On the other hand, Li Mubai played by Zou Run and Yu Xiulian played by Yang Ziqiong are hidden lines, representative symbols of Eastern culture, symbolizing people's tolerance for desires, and symbolizing the implicit and restrained life thinking of Oriental people. In the film, Yu Jiaolong, with a distinct personality, never hides his own thoughts. In order to pursue what he wants, she has expanded from possession of the Qingming Sword to possession and conquest of Li Mubai, and then expanded to a complete subversion of her life. Everything she did was to make herself happy."

"Stealing the sword, helping the blue-eyed fox, elope with the thief leader, run away and flee, make a big fuss, and hurt Yu Xiulian who cares about herself... She completely ignores how much harm her behavior will cause to her relatives, family, Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian and others who care about her, just to make it happy for him."

Liu Chen smiled and said, "From the perspective of us Chinese, this girl is too self-centered and selfish. But Westerners, especially Americans, like her, she takes off Zhang Ziyi's oriental shell, and this character is the core of an American cowboy."

Zhang Nianzan said: "Mr. Liu is right, that's it."

Liu Chen continued: "Li Mubai is a typical old oriental scholar. His brothers of worshippers killed him. Later, he fell in love with his brother's fiancée Yu Xiulian. If this were changed to modern people or Westerners, it would be difficult to solve it. Everyone would die, let alone his fiancée, not to mention that he was still a fiancée, nor was he a virtuous sister-in-law."

"But Li Mubai has been squeamish for more than ten years, and a large number of traditional Chinese moral ethics blocked him, turning him from a young girl to an old woman."

Zhang Nian said: "That's it. The two lines of light and dark representing Eastern and Western cultures are repeatedly alternating. The director's thinking is what people should do, is it better for Eastern thoughts or Western thoughts? He gave the answer at the end of the film, that is, no simple thought is good."

Liu Chen picked up his phone and smiled and said, "Director Li, do you think we are discussing it right?"

Li An didn't expect that he would be so bored that he listened to the two people analyzing his movies, but this was a guest introduced by Miss Morita, so he couldn't just die, but just responded: "It's basically the case."

"Director Li, now that the culture of China has been eroded by Western culture, it is still so obscure to express such an idea. Why can't we express it boldly?"

Liu Chen thought that Li An was indeed a powerful director, but this implicit expression still followed the oriental forbearance and expressed this theme. After all, the shooting method still couldn't break out of this fixed mindset. How to say it is because I am in this mountain.

Li An's heart moved, then sighed and said, "After all, this is the United States, and it is difficult to truly recognize it."

I chatted for a few more times before hanging up the phone.

Zhang Nian asked curiously: "Whose phone number is this?"

"Haha, it's Director Li An."

Ah! Zhang Nian couldn't react at once.
