Chapter 337 Update【12】
"Master Giuseppe Tornatore said: Shooting this short film for BJ was an important experience in my creative career. I saw the eyes of young people on the street full of expectations and longing for the future.
They believe in the future without giving up tradition. I am moved by the enthusiasm of Beijingers and the strong cultural atmosphere of this city. ”
After listening to the staff's translation, Xu Kun couldn't help but secretly sigh, who said foreigners don't understand the ways of the world?
It seems that they often deal with the government - it seems that even in foreign countries, great directors are inevitably involved in politics.
In fact, this activity seems a bit rigid to Xu Kun. The process is basically set. Xu Kun and Giuseppe Tornatore, as seniors and juniors, what they can discuss are basically within a limited framework.
To put it bluntly, what Beijing and Taiwan want is for two people to meet as guests. As for what they will talk about, Beijing and Taiwan actually don't care - even if you don't follow the script, they can broadcast it according to the script.
Of course, with Xu Kun's relationship with Beijing and Taiwan, he would definitely not do such troublesome things.
After the interview, when Han Sanping went to invite Gisebei to visit China Film and Television, Xu Kun pulled Baoqiang's neck aside and asked quietly: "How is it? Is there any progress on the road?"
Baoqiang shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."
"Then what do you know?"
"I, I said it all."
"What?"
"I told everything about my family and what happened after my marriage."
When Baoqiang recalled what happened in the car, his expression was obviously in a daze, and he seemed to be wondering why he didn't follow the routine. Instead, he talked about a lot of family situations and longing for married life.
As soon as Xu Kun heard this, he felt that something was wrong.
Baoqiang's longing for future married life is very clear to him. To sum it up, it is nothing more than: the man takes care of the outside and the woman takes the house, and the wife and children are the hot bed.
Can ambitious new-age women agree with this kind of lying-down life?
"It's hopeless, let's change to another one."
Xu Kun patted Bao Qiang on the shoulder, as if he was about to send away a dying patient - as expected, it was so difficult to get started, and it was still too difficult for Bao Qiang.
"This..."
Baoqiang scratched his head: "Brother Kun, I don't think it's reached that level yet."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Kun said in surprise: "Do you think she is willing to live a life with you as a wife and children?"
Baoqiang said confidently: "I said I would hire a nanny then!"
Well, that's a lot of progress for him.
After a pause, Baoqiang said in a confused tone: "Anyway, I don't think things have reached that point yet. I feel, I feel... I can't say, anyway, I won't give up easily!"
To put it bluntly, just follow your feelings.
Xu Kun deliberately tried to persuade him not to hang himself on a tree.
But when I think about my experience in bed, although it is hundreds of times more than Baoqiang, my experience in getting married and starting a family is infinitely close to zero.
I didn't have the nerve to say anything else, so I just silently prayed that the feeling of staying strong was not an illusion.
After the interview was over, Xu Kun allowed Baoqiang to move around freely, and then drove to LeTV.
This time he came to Gan Min to discuss the matter of "Chinese Language", and it was also because he had a new job for Tianshang Zhixi and needed to communicate with LeTV.
Of course, it is also natural to experience Korean service.
The new job is to perform as the opening act at the Golden Eagle Awards.
Mango Channel took the initiative to contact him about this matter, probably with the intention of compensating Xu Kun. After all, the temporary change of the award name was somewhat aimed at him.
In fact, Xu Kun doesn't mind that much. He just thinks that with his current development trajectory, there will be fewer opportunities to film TV series in the future. Winning a slightly important TV award can be regarded as a commemoration of his progress in the past few years. Some have an acting career.
After receiving this news, the four members of Tianshang Zhixi were extremely happy.
You know, to be able to perform as the opening act at a Korean award ceremony, it must be a singer with a certain level of nationality. In fact, they were very excited when they went to warm up Andy Lau last time - Hong Kong films in their peak period were also popular in Korea, so Koreans are no strangers to Hong Kong stars of that era.
Gan Min, on the other hand, was more interested in "Chinese Language".
"I asked someone to check the music library, but no similar songs were found - Brother Kun, can you explain your thoughts carefully?"
"I just had a flash of inspiration."
Xu Kun tried his best to recall it. It seems that this song was sung in the 2007 Spring Festival Gala or the 2008 Spring Festival Gala. It is normal that it has not been composed yet.
He actually couldn't remember the entire song, he only remembered some core melody and lyrics.
Under Gan Min's repeated urging, he could only rack his brains to recall: "The beginning can be combined with nursery rhymes or tongue twisters and rap elements, such as 'the pole is wide, the bench is long, the pole wants to be tied to the bench'... What's your expression like that?" ? I don’t specialize in singing.”
Xu Kun knew that he was not the material, so he asked Li Zhiyan to teach her sentence by sentence, and then let her try to make adjustments on her own.
Although the final product is different from Xu Kun's impression, it sounds pretty good - this is normal. The kpop that Koreans have been doing in the past few years has a similar style.
"You can change the singing style later and use a more cheerful tone, saying that foreigners eat our food and like our traditional arts, and then, 'The whole world is learning Chinese. Confucius' words are becoming more and more international. The whole world is learning Chinese." In speaking Chinese, what we say makes the world listen carefully'
It's probably just like this, followed by some nursery rhyme tongue twisters - yes, you can also add poetic rhythms such as '廄廄平平'. ”
Gan Min didn't realize the meaning of this song at first, but when he heard the part "The whole world is learning Chinese", his eyes immediately lit up.
If this song is sung by ordinary Chinese, whether it will be popular depends on the quality of the finished product, but if it is sung by foreigners, it will definitely be popular as long as the marketing is good.
If the quality is up to par, it might become a classic!
"Brother Kun!"
Gan Min grabbed Xu Kun's arm excitedly: "You are so talented! How did you come up with this idea?!"
Facing the undisguised admiration on Gan Min's face, Xu Kun hurriedly chanted in his heart: It's not her, it's not her, it's not her, it's definitely not her!
Li Zhiyan had also come to her senses at this time. After all, Koreans do everything they can to enhance their national pride.
So she easily understood what kind of impact a foreign group would have in China if they sang such a song.
So he hurriedly explained to his teammates, and then three pairs of shimmering eyes were aimed at Xu Kun. It felt like he wanted to eat him alive.
Only Hong Chengmei was a little worried and whispered in Korean: "Will singing such a song cause dissatisfaction in the country..."
Just in the middle of speaking, everyone who was looking at Xu Kun with admiration turned to her collectively.
Li Zhiyan scolded rudely in Mandarin: "Chengmei, speak Chinese in front of Director Xu!"
Kim Bo-kyung originally wanted to refute Hong Sung-mi in Korean, but after hearing what Lee Ji-yeon said, she had to switch to stammering Mandarin: "Stop playing around, we are so... thoughtful to this point!"
At the beginning, she strongly opposed dedicating herself to Xu Kun, but now she is also the one who least wants Xu Kun's plan to be interfered with.
Xu Kun roughly guessed what Hong Chengmei was hesitating about, so he said calmly: "If you don't want to sing, three people are enough."
"No no no!"
Hearing this, Hong Chengmei knelt down directly: "Please forgive me, I just...just..."
She spoke more eloquently than Jin Bojing, but her vocabulary was not as good as Jin Bojing's, so she suddenly got stuck.
Upon seeing this, Li Zhiyan and the other two people also knelt down and begged Xu Kun for forgiveness.
"Is this important?"
Gan Min didn't understand. Isn't it too easy for these Korean women to kneel?
Xu Kun shrugged and said: "This is not surprising in the Korean idol circle. I heard that in front of some big shots, Korean idols can only kneel or crawl."
"It's really unimaginable. Fortunately, I was not born in South Korea."
Gan Min shook his head, and then said excitedly: "I will find a few composers to try it out and try to release this song during the Chinese New Year."
As he said that, he felt a little regretful: "It's a pity that it's too late, otherwise this song might be on the Spring Festival Gala!"
