Chapter 158 I almost lost control
While sending Wu Zuxiang and others away, Fang Yan heard the news.
Wang Fulin's idea of filming "Dream of Red Mansions" has received support from CCTV, and he is actively doing preparatory work.
If nothing else happens, this great news will be publicized when the first national Red Society will be held in the second half of the year.
"Maybe you can help when the time comes."
Zhang Guangnian said as he walked.
"You are joking."
Fang Yan shook his head and said: "My knowledge and understanding of "Dream of Red Mansions" is still very superficial. How can I participate in such a masterpiece."
Zhou Weizhi smiled and said: "Perhaps you admire "Dream of Red Mansions" You seem immature, but you have unique insights in drama, especially in the performing arts. If you really make a TV series, you may not be able to use it. In short, study hard with Comrade Zuxiang."
"Me. I will strive for progress!”
There was determination in Fang Yu's tone.
Zhou Weizhi praised a few words and changed the topic, but the top priority now is the documentary "A Bite of China".
Since CCTV has both "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", there is no extra manpower, financial and material resources to support the filming task of "A Bite of China".
“This burden can only be shouldered by comrades in the film system.” Zhang Guangnian walked around the central lake, carrying his back.
Zhou Weizhi said: "Comrade Fang Yu and others have always wanted to invite you to film and cultural activities, communicate in person, and provide guidance..."
"I don't dare to give guidance, but I can help the staff."
Fang Yan waved his hand and said: "Just a little idea."
"Just a little bit? Hahaha!"
< br>Zhou Weizhi and Zhang Guangnian laughed loudly at the same time.
It was still early to say goodbye to the two of them. Dialect was walking around the central lake when suddenly, he heard a burst of singing.
Matsuzaka Keiko was humming by the lake when she noticed someone coming from the corner of her eye. When she turned around, their eyes met.
"Hello, oh no, you are Qiwa."
"Fang Yansang, you are Qiwa."
After saying this, the two of them stared at each other with big eyes. Small eyes.
Chinese and Japanese are spoken like chickens and ducks. I tried to use English in dialect, but it was still in vain and I couldn't understand even half of a sentence.
Gradually, they all fell silent, and the atmosphere was quiet and slightly awkward. The wind was so noisy today.
Askasi!
Matsusaka Keiko couldn’t talk, couldn’t walk, and couldn’t walk.
In the previous welcome party, I was rude to Fang Yan. This time I couldn’t leave rashly and be rude in front of him again.
As if on a first date, I took a sneak peek.
I saw Fang Yan looking left and right, as if looking for a translation.
After searching to no avail, I took out the "Pocket Japanese-Chinese Dictionary" from my bag, rummaged through it for a while according to Bai Ruoxue's instructions, and then wrote down the words one by one in the notebook and put them together lamely. .
Although the grammatical order is wrong, the sentences are short. For Keiko Matsuzaka, she can barely guess the meaning by looking at the basic vocabulary.
“Are you alone?”
“Yeah.”
Matsusaka Keiko nodded, then pointed at the pen in his hand, then pointed at herself, making a gesture of writing.
Fang Yan handed it over knowingly, and flipped through the dictionary again according to the sentences she wrote, just like learning a foreign language from Bai Ruoxue.
After a lot of effort, I finally translated it stumblingly, "I want to go out for a walk alone."
Matsusaka Keiko saw him pointing at the pen and paper and felt like this Although the communication was weird and difficult, it was fresh and fun.
But Fang Yan wanted to leave quickly and end the awkward chat. Now he couldn't wait to write "Sorry for disturbing you" and then said "See you tomorrow" as taught by Bai Ruoxue to say goodbye.
"Eh?"
Matsusaka Keiko felt her hand being grabbed, and her eyes widened.
Dialect is like holding a ball of electrified cotton, it feels soft, like an electric shock.
These days, if you touch a strange woman's hand a few times, you may be regarded as a hooligan in public.
What’s more, this is an occasion for cultural diplomacy.
The two of them each withdrew their hands and faced each other, speaking Japanese in dialect and Keiko Matsuzaka speaking Chinese.
"Simi Marseille!"
"Not right!"
As soon as these words came out, Matsuzaka Keiko and Fang Yan looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle, Bright eyes, white teeth, dazzling.
Then take the pen and write on the paper.
"Fang Yansang, I'm extremely sorry for my rudeness last time."
Fang Yan didn't expect that he would have to translate for a long time for such a trivial matter, and waved his hand to tell her not to take it to heart.
Matsusaka Keiko’s eyes flashed and she smiled, planning to sing her best song to him to apologize.
Fang Yan listened quietly and did not do anything offensive. Although she was beautiful and beautiful, she could not look at her too much.
Monster, I want you to help me practice!
The more this happened, the more interesting Matsusaka Keiko felt. Her eyes were sparkling and passionate, and her big wavy hair was dancing in the wind.
A gentle breeze blew across the water, stirring the willows.
"Teacher Fang!"
At this moment, the singing attracted Bai Ruoxue, Suzuki Yoko, Hashimoto Yui and others, and the ambiguous atmosphere gradually disappeared.
Fang Yan let out a breath, the savior finally came!
After laughing and chatting with them, we found out that after the film exchange event tomorrow, we would organize a trip to Yuyuantan Park together.
…………
The spring of March is the season when cherry blossoms bloom.
In 1972, Japan brought 1,000 mountain cherry trees, of which more than 180 were planted in Yuyuantan Park.
“Without seeing each other for three days, the world will be full of beauty...”
"The sky is drunk with cherry blossoms, and the clouds are staggering."
Suzuki Yoko read a haiku, his eyes glancing at the dialect from time to time. He stood beside Xia Yan with a serious face, listening to the two sides' discussions on the introduction of new materials this year. Domestic Japanese movies.
"The Story of Torajiro", "The Fiery Fifth Movement"...
Basically, they are all works of Shochiku Film Company.
Songzhu has a deep connection with China, and "Pursuit", which caused a sensation in China, is the company's masterpiece.
Even in the future, Chinese directors such as Jia Zhangke will cooperate with the Japanese film industry through filmmakers born in Shozhu.
Fang Yan supported Xia Yan and had a great time chatting with great people in the film industry such as Zhong Tanfei and Xie Tielia. Matsuzaka Keiko learned the identities of all the people he communicated with from Komaki Abara, covered her mouth and stared intently.
“Teacher Xiaofang!”
“Shi Ju.”
Fang Yan was pulled aside by Shi Fangyu and other film bureau leaders to talk about the production ideas of "A Bite of China".
Some people have proposed a plan to create a region with one cuisine, and choose four representative places, namely Yanjing, Shanghai, Eastern Guangdong and Sichuan, to make a film similar to "Chinese Food Culture".
"What about Fujian Jian? What about Lu Dong?"
Fang Yan frowned and gave two examples.
Among the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, most of them came from Eastern Guangdong and Fujian to Nanyang. Without Fujian, how can we do it?
As for Ludong, Ludong cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines, and there are so many people on the island whose ancestral home is Ludong. How can Ludong be missing?
"Xiao Fang's opinion is worth discussing."
Xia Yan and others nodded, feeling that it made sense.
As a result, someone else proposed to convene famous chefs from all over the country to use the narrative structure of "cooking masters" or "gourmet celebrities" to show "exquisite cooking skills" and "complex cooking".
To promote the four major cuisines of ancient and modern times, Sichuan, Shandong, Huaiyang and Cantonese, it is best to use Manchu and Han banquets and delicacies to highlight China's vast land and rich resources and create a "grand narrative".
"After preliminary investigation and investigation, the comrades of our factory..."
Qin Ming, as the director of the News Documentary Film Factory, reported seriously.
The plan is to take the lead in the state banquet with four famous chefs. Cantonese cuisine master Chen Sheng, Sichuan cuisine master Luo Guorong, Huaiyang cuisine master Wang Lan, and the disciple of Shandong cuisine master Fan Jukang will personally take charge of the battle.
"It's a pity that Comrade Fan Junchang passed away a few years ago. Otherwise, the scene of the founding banquet could have been recreated."
Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, these are the four famous chefs appointed by the great man and President Li." Shi Fangyu looked sideways and asked Fang Yan's opinion.
“I have something to say, I don’t know whether I should say it or not?”
Fang Yan pursed his lips.
"Speak! Speak out boldly!"
Xia Yan encouraged him.
Shi Fangyu and others were also listening attentively. The documentary "A Bite of China" was proposed by Fang Yan, and when it came to understanding Chinese food culture, no one present knew it better than him!
“Should we also go among the masses?”
Fang Yan explained seriously.
The key reason why "A Bite of China" became so popular in a previous life is that it got rid of grand narratives and became down-to-earth. It is neither a "quick gourmet" program that teaches people how to cook delicious dishes, nor is it extremely popular. Show off Hua Xia’s cooking skills as much as possible.
The story is about food, but the camera focuses on the lives of ordinary people, home-cooked dishes with local characteristics.
It carries the feelings for food, shows the lives of ordinary people behind the delicious food, and shows the Chinese culture contained in the delicious food.
Seeing him standing in the middle of the crowd, speaking clearly and eloquently, Bai Ruoxue was distracted and translated for Matsuzaka Keiko.
"Si Guoyi, Fangyan Sang."
Matsusaka Keiko stared at Fangyan.
“Xiao Fang wants to make a ‘people’s’ food documentary?”
Xia Yan smiled knowingly.
“Chinese food and food culture are originally created by the people.” Fang Yan said, “I think what should be shown overseas is not only the cooking skills of Chinese feasts, but also the daily diet. Nostalgia is The smell wafting from the stove at home, home-cooked food, the taste of hometown, just It has more of a flavor of my hometown.”
“It has to have both sunny spring and white snow, but also people from the lower reaches of the country.”
“No, this should mean that it has to have both gourmet food and home-cooked dishes. . ”
Everyone was talking about it, and most of them supported it.
Shi Fangyu also feels that this opinion is very constructive, showing the broad and profound Chinese food tradition in an all-round way.
“This is just my personal thought.”
Fang Yan added.
The difficulties in filming "A Bite of China" these days are: first, there are many filming locations, and the film crew has to travel all over the country to film.
Shi Fangyu waved his hand and said that the bureau was planning to appoint the Central News Documentary Film Studio to take charge. When the time comes, studios across the country would support and cooperate.
Fang Yan also mentioned the second point, which is equipment and funding.
There is currently no sophisticated high-definition shooting equipment in China, and this is the age of film movies, and a roll of film is very expensive.
In the 1980s there was a Japanese named Masashi Sada.
The documentary "Talk about the Yangtze River" cost 1.13 million feet of film and incurred a debt of 2.8 billion yen.
“We are looking for ways to solve the funding problem.”
Shi Fangyu said that the bureau has also taken this into consideration.
In addition to financial allocations, we have already negotiated with people from Shochiku that after "An Unfinished Game of Chess", "A Bite of China" may be another Sino-Japanese co-production.
Equipment and funds, Songzhu can provide part of it.
The condition is that after the documentary is filmed, Shochiku will be responsible for the distribution within Japan and be allowed to find Japanese TV stations to broadcast it.
“Originally, Shochiku wanted more and wanted to expand the scope to Southeast Asia, but we did not agree immediately.”
said one of the leaders.
"Then Southeast Asia..."
Fang Yan couldn't help but be curious.
Shi Fangyu said that the superiors hope to hand over the TV station in Xiangjiang to be responsible for "A Bite of China".
Fang Yan smiled but said nothing, thinking that ATV would send "The Hero Fearless" to Guangdong TV Station in the future.
Shi Fangyu had a serious look on his face. In order to live up to the expectations of his leaders and comrades, "A Bite of China" is no longer just a question of whether to make it, but how to make it better.
"Teacher Xiao Fang, this general counsel..."
Everyone else in the film bureau looked at him.
Although Fang Yan really wanted to be the "general consultant", he knew his own trade and recommended:
"How about asking Mr. Wang to be the one?"
"Old Wang!?"
Shi Fangyu and others were surprised at first, but quickly agreed with this opinion, and then looked at Fang Yan, their eyes full of admiration.
Xia Yan said with great satisfaction: "I think this general counsel must be Lao Wang. He knows how to write best when it comes to eating, and he knows how to eat best when it comes to writing. As for Xiao Fang, he is the one who works there. Consultant, what do you think?”
“It’s my duty, Mr. Xia!”
Fang Yan felt a little excited when he thought about it.
