Chapter 677 The soil of Chinese science fiction movies
These things discussed are all in the preliminary discussion stage, but for the preparatory team, although there is still almost a year, it is obviously not enough.
Little Gilbert subsequently participated in several meetings and gave suggestions on the general direction and framework. After that, he did not participate in the discussion of specific details.
"Look, how does it look? Magnificent, right?"
Little Gilbert and Ivanka climbed the Badaling Great Wall. Little Gilbert also sighed: "There is a Chinese saying that goes well, if you can't call the Great Wall, you are not a true man.
Ivanka, I think she is also a hero. ”
Ivanka rolled her eyes at little Gilbert: "I am a woman."
"That's a female hero."
"Eh!" Ivanka expressed disgust: "I don't want it, it sounds stinky."
In the past two days, under the arrangement of Lao Tian, little Gilbert and Ivanka went to the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and then climbed the Badaling Great Wall.
Of course, tasting delicious food is indispensable, including roast duck, hot-boiled mutton, and various dishes that Ivanka has never heard of.
For example, there was a dish of boiled cabbage, which shocked Ivanka. When a mouthful of soup stock is poured over the dishes, it is simply enjoyable to watch the dishes bloom like flowers.
There are also Chinese chefs in Xianggua Manor, but Chinese food is broad and profound. Everyone has their own unique skills and techniques. Even if you eat one dish every day, you may not be able to finish all the Chinese dishes in a year.
But there is also something that makes Ivanka suffer, and that is bean juice.
Under the coaxing and love of little Gilbert, Ivanka drank this sour bean juice and her expression changed instantly. Even with good upbringing telling her not to be rude, she still ran to the bathroom and vomited.
When I came back and saw little Gilbert laughing there, Ivanka was so angry that she ignored little Gilbert all afternoon.
After the trip to the capital, little Gilbert and Ivanka went south to Huangshan. We climbed to the top of Mount Huangshan and saw the famous Welcoming Pine.
"The Wei River lingers in the Qin Saiqu, and the Huangshan Mountains are sloping around the Han Palace." Looking at the magnificent scenery of Huangshan Mountain, little Gilbert couldn't help but become inspired by poetry and recited a poem by Wang Wei.
The accompanying Chinese personnel immediately applauded: "It's amazing, I didn't expect Mr. Landrini to know how to write Tang poetry."
Little Gilbert smiled and said: "It's nothing. My son and daughter can all memorize a few poems. Especially Li Bai's poems, they like them the most."
The entourage immediately asked people to remember it, intending to give it to little Gilbert as a gift later.
Originally, because little Gilbert came to climb Huangshan Mountain, Huangshan Mountain was not open to the public today. But little Gilbert felt that doing so made him feel as privileged, so he finally opened up.
Mountaineers coming and going were curious when they saw a few foreigners with high nose bridges, and couldn't help but gather around to watch. Several young tourists recognized this as the famous Little Gilbert and excitedly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Finally, a brave tourist spoke Chinese English and asked little Gilbert if he could take a photo.
Originally, the accompanying Chinese personnel planned to stop it due to safety concerns. But little Gilbert waved his hand and said: "It's just a group photo."
He asked the bold tourist in Chinese: "Have you seen my movie?"
The tourist was stunned. He didn't expect little Gilbert to be able to communicate with him in Chinese, and he was quite fluent. Then he replied in surprise: "Yes, I am a loyal fan of yours and like your movies.
Especially the "Lord of the Rings" series and "The Matrix" are my favorite movies. ”
"Really? Thank you for liking my movie." Little Gilbert smiled, took a photo with this bold fan, and gave him an autograph.
With an example, others became bolder. It was a pleasure to take photos and sign autographs.
Later, when the Chinese entourage saw that too many people were in danger, they protected little Gilbert and hurriedly retreated.
This trip to Huangshan Mountain was quite wonderful. Originally, little Gilbert planned to watch the sunrise with Ivanka. However, due to safety concerns, the trip ultimately did not take place. After visiting Huangshan, little Gilbert and Ivanka tasted Anhui cuisine. Such as stinky mandarin fish, Wenzheng mountain bamboo shoots, Huizhou hairy tofu, Huizhou steamed chicken, Hu's first-class hotpot, and Wuwei smoked duck.
Little Gilbert was fine, but these dishes were a feast for Ivanka, who was new to them. She doesn't speak Chinese and is now learning and selling. Thumbs up and said: "Crab! Good times, good times..."
After finishing their trip to Huangshan, little Gilbert and Ivanka came to the last stop of their trip to the East, Shanghai.
Here, little Gilbert participated in a Sino-US film culture exchange forum.
In fact, there was no such forum originally, but little Gilbert came, so there was this forum.
Many people from the Chinese film industry participated in the forum, including Guo Fan, an old acquaintance of Gilbert Jr.
"Lao Guo, the size of this venue is really big." Liu Ji was a little surprised when he looked at the venue that could accommodate thousands of people.
Guo Fan was not surprised: "After all, Director Gilbert is coming, so this scene must be bigger!"
"That's right." Liu Ji quickly saw the two people's seats and sat down with Guo Fan: "You can probably see little Director Gilbert here, no need for binoculars."
This seat was obviously specially arranged. After all, Guo Fan was known to be a student of little Gilbert. After returning from abroad, he has completed two feature films and achieved good results.
Guo Fan was also arranged to ask questions to little Gilbert. Guo Fan asked questions about science fiction movies. He has never forgotten his science fiction dream.
The forum started soon, and the organizer invited several well-known directors such as Pigeon Chen and Lu Tailang, Xiao Gang Feng and others to talk to little Gilbert.
Of course, they are all industry scenes, talking about the development of the film market, the shooting of genre films, and the development of Chinese films.
Little Gilbert is also a sophisticated and tactful person. He can tell people whatever they want to hear!
Soon it was the question-and-answer session, and after a few questions, it was finally Guo Fan's turn.
He stood up and asked: "Director Gilbert, do you think there is a basis for science fiction movies in China?"
Little Gilbert asked: "Do you think there is an audience for science fiction films in China?"
"Well," Guo Fan thought for a moment and said, "I think there is."
"Then China has the basis for science fiction movies." Little Gilbert continued: "It's not possible to make them now because of technical reasons.
In addition, the audience does not believe that the creators of Chinese-language films can really make science fiction films.
I think this will take a certain amount of time. Maybe after a few years, the technology will improve and Chinese-language films will usher in a good development. This will be an opportunity. ”
In fact, according to the original time and space, the development of Chinese science fiction movies will not see the light of day until 2019. The real time for development will have to wait until 2023.
One of the important reasons for this is the improvement of technological strength.
Science fiction movies are inseparable from a country’s power and technological strength, and there is an inevitable connection between the two.
It is also because of this strong scientific and technological strength, coupled with a group of young practitioners who have grown up, that they have directly broken the ideological imprint of the old predecessors in the past.
Just like most of the people present, little Gilbert's words were regarded as mere remarks, but Guo Fan listened carefully and even took notes.
Why was he the one who failed, and not someone else? Success is reserved for those who are prepared. If you are not prepared or capable at the critical moment, you will not be able to succeed.
Starting from 1994, the seed of Guo Fan has been cultivated for 13 years. However, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it will take some time to cultivate.
