My girlfriend is an idol - Chapter 2160

In this regard, Li Xianzhe shook his head. “In my opinion, not everyone’s stories are suitable for making biographical films, at least the one you want to make is not suitable.

So I suggest you jump directly from a biography film to shooting around the process of a family’s prosperity and the origin story.

Coupled with some personal heroism, as well as the gratitude and resentment loved by the audience.

Otherwise, if you really follow what you thought before, even if it is made, it will not succeed, and even the box office may be the lowest of all your films.

Therefore, it’s better not to shoot if it’s not good, because the auction collapsed, which not only took $300 million in, but also damaged the face of the whole Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which completely deviated from his original intention of looking for you. ”

Spielberg was embarrassed when he heard this, although he admitted that what Li Xianzhe said was very reasonable.

But objectively speaking, he is completely black eyed about the rich history of the family behind the head of the Huaxia chamber of Commerce.

Once shooting according to each other’s family history, is this a film about oriental culture?

Asian culture has always been of great interest to Hollywood directors and want to explore what they shoot.

However, Spielberg judged from the perspective of his personal rationality. Over the past long period of time, the films made around Chinese Americans in Hollywood were all discriminatory to varying degrees.

Even though it is popular with Americans, it is notorious at the artistic level, even overseas, especially among Asian Americans.

Both sides can be successful. So far, he has only thought of a film with the same sex theme that Li Xianzhe once mentioned to him and strongly recommended him to watch.

The film was shot in the 1990s, set in BJ in China, and then went all over the world, including Paris, France and Hungary.

The film itself was adapted according to the real story. The script was first published in the New York Times, and then was liked and fought for by the director who later directed the film.

This film has also become one of the few Hollywood films. Most scenes are shot in China, and foreign directors have deeply filmed works of Chinese culture. It has successfully won various awards, and has also been divided by Chinese audiences.

The film was starred by Chinese actors Zunlong and Jeremy Irons who had been famous in Hollywood for a long time. The name of the film is “Butterfly King”. Zunlong’s anti string women’s clothes in it have surprised many people.

However, the film was not introduced into China at that time because it involved homosexuality and all aspects of the background of the times, but there is no denying the excellence of the film itself.

On the one hand, the adaptation of real people and real events will first create a strong source of interest.

In addition, writing stories is not Chinese. In other words, without this film, Chinese people themselves do not know that these people and things have appeared in history.

The author of the script has made various textual research in the process.

Moreover, the director’s carefulness and control ability are not mixed with any discrimination, slander and personal political ideas into the film.

(the director used to make horror films. Many people were surprised when Mr. butterfly was born. A thriller can make art films to the extreme.).

Speaking of, in terms of personal understanding and Research on some cultures, most directors only stay in the superficial stage in the face of Oriental cultural themes.

Even, in order to attract attention, many people will involuntarily combine it with the political atmosphere at that time to form a nondescript work.

The most typical example is the Fu Manchu series, which has been filmed by countless directors and has been popular in Hollywood for decades, and even has become the stereotype of Westerners to Orientals.

This is a minefield. He doesn’t ask what other people’s attitude towards this cultural theme is.

But he himself… Will never take the initiative to touch it. The preciseness of Jewish blood in his bones does not allow him to do so.

“Lee, I agree with you very much.

But… If I go to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce like this, will they understand me? ”

“If you refuse directly, of course it’s impossible.

The most important thing Oriental people pay attention to is face. Maybe they think you have accepted the check they gave.

Refusing again at this time is tantamount to reneging and breaking the appointment. This is the most taboo in oriental culture.

This is a matter of trust, but also a face-to-face slap.

If you can’t handle it well, it’s hard to guarantee that they will secretly trip you in the future. ”

Li Xianzhe bowed his head slightly and mused.

“So that’s the only way. Go and tell him that you can’t shoot the biography of situ Meitang.

Because of the age of the other party’s existence and the historical track of his return to and from the United States, especially China, the background during this period is very sensitive. You can’t handle it well, and may even offend some people.

And most importantly, once shot like this, the final film is likely to not be reviewed in China.

In this case, Hollywood filmmakers and companies now know the importance of the Chinese market as the largest ticket warehouse in the world after North America.

In this regard, in recent years, Hollywood has continuously launched works that cater to the tastes of Chinese audiences, including embedding advertisements of well-known Chinese enterprises and businesses in the film, using Chinese actors, or inserting Chinese culture, etc.

Therefore, for such a film, the risk of losing the Chinese market and the box office is not worth the loss.

So, at this time, you go on to tell him that you have a better attention.

If this film is made, it is definitely more meaningful than the biographical film of situ Meitang

Note that what I said is meaningful and is specifically aimed at the Huaxia chamber of Commerce. ”

Seeing that Spielberg began to doubt his words, Li Xianzhe further guided him to say.

“I ask you, in the early years, after the situ family took advantage of the San Francisco gold rush and crossed the other side of the ocean to the United States, why haven’t they gone out of Chinatown so far?”

“Because like other Chinese workers, they came to the United States to make money.

At that time, Chinese workers only wanted to make money. Except that a few people slowly became rich, stayed in the local area and grew into powerful people step by step, most people just regarded the United States as a place to work overseas.

Moreover, these Chinese workers worked hard, had a higher degree of loyalty and endurance than the blacks at that time, and never complained and asked for a raise in wages.

American bosses like them very much, even if their wages are lower than the level of normal American workers.

Moreover, these Chinese do not participate in politics and do not communicate with local white and black people.

Over time, politicians did not want to see them, nor did blacks and whites.

They believe that the emergence of these Chinese robbed their living environment, so large and small conflicts can not be avoided.

After that, they either treated the Chinese in the form of exclusion and protest. Finally, these Chinese can only live together, and the place where they live has become the prototype of Chinatown. ”

Spielberg honestly replied that he didn’t know about it.

It’s entirely because I listened to Li Xianzhe’s explanation when talking about the evolution history of Asian culture in the United States.
