Chapter 1168 Cultural Export (Third update, please subscribe)
The Kuching Film Festival is held at Ocean Studios in the southwest of Kuching.
Every March, this place is particularly lively, with beaches, palm trees and sunshine, and of course, beauties from all over the world - every March, this place attracts filmmakers from all over the world, including directors. , there are actors, there are inevitably beauties and handsome guys.
When You Min and other Hong Kong film actors and directors arrived in Kuching by plane, the place was already bustling. Film actors from all over the world gathered here, waiting for the final awards from the jury. In the cinema, films from all over the world are shown, many of which are independent films.
There are always some groupies gathering outside the doors of many hotels. Even in Nanyang, there are now the first generation of groupies.
It’s entertainment!
is the eternal theme of mankind. Gossip news about celebrities in newspapers will always be the focus of everyone's attention. After all, not everyone is interested in grand narratives or national events, and not everyone cares about science and technology.
But most people like gossip news.
Of course, some gossip news will never be published in newspapers and magazines in Nanyang, nor will it appear on TV news.
“This year your biggest competitor is Jeanne Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”…”
As soon as director Wang Tianlin finished speaking, You Min said.
"Oh, is that Mrs. Hepburn? Oh, it's natural that she won the award. By the way, Jeanne seems to be his lover too!"
Obviously, compared to whether she can After winning the award, You Min prefers gossip news. There was a newspaper in Hong Kong that mentioned the lovers of your Excellency. The movie star Hepburn was just one of them, and the same was the famous director Jeanne, and Hepburn was still Jeanne's " Queen Actor".
That Your Excellency is definitely very blessed. There are princesses, scientists, celebrities,... anyway, there are all kinds of stunning beauties around you.
“Yes, but you don’t have to worry, after all, there are several best actresses.”
Wang Tianlin comforted him and then said.
“And being nominated is already very impressive. After all, this is the Palme d’Or!”
The gold content of the “Palme d’Or” is still very high. In the past ten years, , driven by the government, Nanyang's film industry has developed extremely rapidly. Although it cannot be compared with the United States, the quality and quantity of the films produced are no less than those of Europe.
This speed of development is certainly due to the official cultural revitalization strategy, but it is inseparable from Li Yian’s contribution. In order to export Nanyang culture, Li Nian even wrote the script himself, at least the outline of the script, and then handed it over to the creative team for review.
The reason why Li Yian attaches so much importance to cultural export is not only based on the strategic concept of "building a country through culture", but also involves the industrial export driven by cultural output such as movies and music.
This is also based on the experience of South Korea and Hong Kong. Of course, the former is successful. Korean products are brought to the world with the help of Korean movies and music. Culture promotes economic development, and economy promotes cultural development.
Hong Kong movies have successfully brought European and American brands to all over the world, but they have nothing to do with promoting Hong Kong’s economy except tourism and consumer industries. In the end, the decline of Hong Kong movies is inevitable. .
In fact, it is not easy to export the culture of Nanyang, because the culture of Nanyang is not only Chinese, but also Western.
What Nanyang needs to export is the culture of Nanyang - Eastern sentiment and Western charm, which is Nanyang culture.
Just like when Li Yi'an was writing the synopsis of the TV series "The Legend of White Snake", there were other options at the time.
But no matter what kind of choice you make, you must consider the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans and their values. After all, wherever the market is, you must consider it.
After much thought, Li Yian chose "The Legend of White Snake".
During the filming, Li Yian not only went to the scene to provide guidance, but even invented the "Diaowei Ya".
And this is the most shocking scene in "The Legend of White Snake" - Zhu Hong is hanging in the air in a costume with a wire hanging from his waist, and his clothes are blown by the strong wind blown by the giant electric fan. Fluttering like a fairy arriving.
When this TV series was broadcast to the world through Asia Television, whether it was an East Asian audience, a European or American audience, they still saw a beautiful woman in ancient costume flying down from the sky. Of course, you can imagine the shock. You know, after all, people in this era have really never seen the world a few decades from now.
And all of this is given by Bai Diaoweiya.
Of course, what fascinates them even more is that Bai Suzhen's fluttering clothes are like a fairy coming to the world. She is not here to slay demons, but to fall in love.
In the TV series "The Legend of White Snake", Li Yi'an emphasized "love" and even turned repayment into love at first sight.
At the same time, it has been significantly modified, not only borrowing from several versions of White Snake, but also borrowing from some European and American love movies. This is very suitable for the European and American markets, and it is easier to be absorbed by popular culture. Accept.
Moreover, Li Yi'an also drew on the characteristics of later generations of Korean entertainment, which is to carefully select actors. Doesn't Korea just rely on the export of cultural works to create the illusion that Korean men are all handsome and all women are beautiful to foreigners?
There is a saying in another world - there are no poor people in domestic dramas, and there are no ugly people in Korean dramas. Even ordinary aunts and uncles will use makeup and lighting to show you a skin that can be broken by a bomb. How can this be unpopular? In another world, Tangshan's moral shackles are too strong and face is too heavy in this regard, perhaps because the culture is too thick.
People all over the world love to watch handsome men and beautiful women having sex with each other, but only China is focused on exporting elegant art.
If a culture wants to be popular all over the world, it must be entertaining, and it must not be out of touch with the public.
So, adhering to this principle, Li Yi'an drew on the movies he had seen before and came up with many good scripts, such as "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "The Legend of White Snake", etc., but they are just among them Just one of them.
However, as a first-time script writer, Li Yi'an also likes to discuss scripts and acting skills with actors. After all, not only does no one understand movie scripts better than him, but no one understands acting skills better than him.
Recently, Li Yi'an took time to discuss the new script with Zhu Hong. The new script is a modern urban comedy that helps Zhu Hong transform. While chatting about the script, Li Yi'an would cast his gaze on her face. The most rare thing about Zhu Hong's beauty is that she adapts both the past and the present, both good and evil, and is as broad and changeable as her acting career. Her fashions are fashionable and fashionable, and there is no sense of incongruity in her ancient costumes. She is full of the temperament of a classical beauty. This is the real beauty.
In fact, Li Yian's character has always been upright. His hobbies have always been the same, and he likes young, beautiful, fair-skinned women with good figures.
This standard will not change. European and American cars are more likely to be favored here, preferably girls with blonde hair and big boobs, but I have to say that the style of East Asian cars is also fascinating, especially its The skin is delicate and smooth, which is by no means comparable to that of European and American cars.
Whether it is Yang Meng, Lautelei, Nan Fang, or Hara Setsuko, his beautiful face and first-class touch always make him addicted. Now, while chatting about the script, Li Yian's hand was already caressing Zhu Hong's body dishonestly.
This... Actually, when I was telling the script of "The Legend of White Snake" last year, when I saw Zhu Hong's appearance for the first time, Li Yi'an was so amazed that he told her the script. The young girl was even more excited about him. of worship.
While telling the script, he even boasted and gestured, and occasionally popped out a line or two of the well-known songs from "The Legend of the White Snake", which made the eighteen-year-old Zhu Yuanyuan's heart beat faster and she couldn't help herself. With a shy face, he looked like he was ready to pick whatever he wanted.
With the idea of picking flowers when they are ready and not waiting for them to fall apart, Li Yian picked this bright flower while telling the script. Although the flower that should be unlocked has already been unlocked, The white lady's body was unlocked, but the hands and feet he didn't understand still made the girl shy. She patted his dishonest hand and said:
"Let's talk about the other script you mentioned first. "Ah...ah,"
With a moan, the girl's voice turned into a moan again, her face was red with shame, and her eyes were blurred, who could bear this.
"Actually, what about this movie? It's a spy movie..."
What is Li Yi'an talking about?
Of course it is 007, James Bond. Although this classic image is from Britain, it can also be from Nanyang. Moreover, as early as a few years ago, Li Yi'an had already visited the UK and stopped by Ian Fleming bought the copyright of "Casino Royale". From then on, 007 became Nanyang's.
Nanyang, as the future successor to me, Da Ying, takes over from 007. It is natural. As the longest-lived agent IP in the history of movies, the 007 movie series has become popular all over the world and has been flourishing for more than sixty years. . In the hands of Nanyang, at least 007 will not turn 007's handsome boys and beauties into a group of monsters and monsters like Hollywood did. They even created a black 007 for the so-called rightness, and even a fucking woman.
Haven’t those Hollywood screenwriters heard the joke about the black agent?
Will 007 be a black woman and a Bond girl having sex in the future?
So, Li Yian’s purchase of the copyright of the 007 series of works was definitely with a protective mind. Of course, once they were launched, they were well received by the market, with circulations exceeding one million copies.
Although it is not said that they have made a lot of money, Nanyang's publishing house has indeed entered the British and American publishing markets by relying on the 007 series of novels. However, this is not important. What is important is that after mastering the most successful and longest-lived spy movie IP in history, Nanyang can use this shell to export Nanyang's cultural output.
The copyright of 007 belongs to Nanyang, and of course 007 himself also belongs to Nanyang. When Americans made 007, what they exported was never British culture. Nanyang can learn from this.
Zhu Hong, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, asked breathlessly:
"Agent, what kind of spy movie is it?"
"Have you seen "Casino Royale"? It's..."
As Li Yian explained what a spy movie is, his hands were already downwards unruly. extended.
“In addition to Bond girls, it is one of the biggest attractions, but many female stars are in career difficulties. If this series of works can be successful, it may help them and let them become Bond girls. Help them make career progress."
Li Jianyi's face was filled with holy light. Even the Pope of the Holy See was not as stalwart as he is now. He looked like he was thinking about her people.
However, his little thought made Zhu Hong roll his eyes and murmured softly.
"You, what you are thinking about is not a movie...well, um...not a Bond girl, but a helper girl...you just want to help them tell the script, right?"
Been After revealing his thoughts with one word, Li Yian was not angry, but said shamelessly:
"Well, you still understand me. Now, please help me first..."
For a time, the room was filled with spring. This was destined to be another very enjoyable script exchange...
