Chapter 813 I hold the attitude of a documentary (Today's fourth update) Four starring actors in "The Last Emperor": Puyi is played by Zunlong, Wenxiu or Wujunmei, Puyi's English teacher Johnston is played by Peter Otto. This brother is a famous European and American actor, and his representative work is "Lawrence of Arabia". None of the above changed, but Chen Chong was lost, and Wanrong became an unknown Chinese American actor, in her 20s and had a **** temperament. Betorucci's first choice for Chinese people from Europe and the United States is because "The Last Emperor" has a good English conversation, and the Chinese version is the last match. These four actors, including directors, producers, Pu Jie and Li Wenda, sat in a row to accept questions from reporters. With a very, very good attitude, and answer questions and Bettorucci expressed his modesty: "I have been visiting the Forbidden City for a long time. Facing these strange and ancient palaces, I was worried about losing myself and not finding clues to go out, but art is like this. When I don't know what I'm doing, the answer emerges It's gone. "I was in a palace group without any tourists, and I heard my thud footsteps step on the stone slabs. This feeling was so wonderful!" He answered very artistically, nagging about his feelings and inspiration. The press conference was made very long. Pu Jie was almost 80 years old. He couldn't stand it halfway through and fell asleep on the chair.
This made the scene a little embarrassed. Fortunately, a female reporter from China Youth Daily made a smooth move and changed the topic: "Mr. Chen Qi and Ms. Gong Xue also live here. Have you met?" "I have met Ms. Gong Xue. She is very charming, but unfortunately we have not reached a cooperation. As for Mr. Chen, I have always hoped to have him...oh!" Producer Thomas suddenly stabbed him. Bettorucci took a look and smiled and said, "What a coincidence!" Um? Everyone turned their heads and happened to see Chen Qi and Gong Xue standing among the crowd watching the fun. A burst of shouts and instigation sounded at the scene, making Chen Qiliang appear, which means the selling point of the news. He waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he could not overestimate the leader. The female reporter from China Youth Daily kicked him in. "I didn't expect to meet on such occasions! I always wanted to chat with you, but unfortunately you are not in the capital." "I just came back, it was a coincidence!" Betorucci thought Chen Qi was a friend because all the people he came to the mainland were friends. He shook hands very enthusiastically and invited him to go on stage to speak. Chen Qi refused but had to go up and reluctantly said: "I can't be overwhelming, let's talk about it briefly. First of all, I wish director Betorucci all the best and film a masterpiece of film history. Then I just happened to ask why you want to film. Where is a Chinese emperor?” "I first watched Johnston's "The Twilight of the Forbidden City" and then referred to "My First Half of Life". I was full of sympathy for this character. I think the conflict between this large historical environment and personal struggle is very interesting..." pity? The Chinese journalists below looked at each other with a subtle look on their faces. Pu Jie woke up at some point, but fell asleep again after hearing this. Bettorucci didn't care and talked freely: "I have collected a lot of information and met many parties involved. I made this movie with a rigorous attitude of shooting a documentary." "What?" Chen Qi seemed to have not heard it clearly, and Thomas repeated: "Hold the rigorous attitude of a documentary!" "Please translate it, I don't understand it very much." He said to the translator apologetically.
The translation repeated in Chinese: "The director said that he would do "The Last Emperor" with a rigorous attitude of making documentaries!" "Oh, documentary attitude! The documentary is amazing!" In just a short time, the word documentary was repeated five times and it was all printed in everyone's mind. "I wish you success!" As expected, Chen Qi didn't take up much time and ran back down to watch the fun. The press conference lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended. The reporters did not leave and took photos of several leading actors. "List!" Betoruc took the initiative to talk to him again. This Chinese is very good at fighting in the United States, and it is not bad to make friends with him. He said, "I really want to talk to you all night, but unfortunately I don't have time now. I will prepare for the first game in a while. If you are interested, you can stay and see the show." "When was that Chen Kaige's play?" "Oh, he is taking photos tonight!" "Please take care of him, he is my nephew." "Um???" The foreigner was confused. Chen Qi and Gong Xue had already left, and he didn't say hello to Zunlong and the others. Thomas came over and said, "He doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about us." "I'm a little strange, let him do it, it's important for us to film!" After all the reporters left, they immediately prepared the first scene, which was a street scene in the capital in the late Qing Dynasty. Chen Kaige didn't know that his nephew's identity had been spread to Italy. He watched vigorously and couldn't help but exclaim, and recited his lines. At the beginning of "The Last Emperor", on a dark and windy night, a team of soldiers broke into Prince Chun's mansion. The guard captain was wearing armor and read the edict of Cixi: Let Puyi enter the palace to live. Chen Kaige plays this captain. He taught himself English, and there were many new words in the edict, and he read it many times. By the way, "The Last Emperor" also has several **** scenes, and the domestic version has been deleted. For example, in the above section, Puyi's nurse entered the palace with him and sat in the sedan chair. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! After arriving at the place, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and Puyi was taken out first, and then the nurse was given a shot: her clothes were half open, revealing a piece of bare milk, which meant that Puyi was sipping milk inside. ... The next day, the news appeared in major newspapers. The opening ceremony was reported in detail, describing the luxury of the crew, such as coffee, ice cream, and olive oil, which also satisfies the Chinese people's imagination of foreigners. Not to mention other newspapers, China Youth Daily emphasized two points: First, Betorucci declared that he should use the attitude of a documentary to shoot. Second, he said in person that he was full of sympathy for Puyi. This caused some controversy, but it wasn't big. In fact, during the filming of "The Last Emperor", some people criticized it, but they were all very tactful and did not attract much attention.
In short, the Italians' first public publicity effect is OK. China hopes that his "documentary-like rigor" can produce a work. Chen Qi showed his face and hid again. He first met Minister Ai of Radio and Television and Leader Zhu of the Ministry of Truth, and talked about the two dramas "Bao Qingtian" and "The Legend of the Woman". There are 50 episodes in total, although they are not as meticulous as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Journey to the West", the cost is not small. Dongfang Company pays this money, and the future dramas are the same. It is a huge burden, so you have to give some compensation, right? Chen Qi means to build a hotel and a company that does costumes and costumes in the film and television city, and then let the crew move in and the meat is rotten in the pot. It is equivalent to part of the money for filming the drama, such as food and accommodation fees and behind-the-scenes expenses, which are transferred from the left hand to the right hand. This idea opened the leader’s eyes and was still feasible. It was too early to shoot the two dramas, but the cast had already taken shape: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a serious heroine drama, and the actors must have aura, and he listed Fang Shu as the first alternative. Fang Shu is 170+ tall, has reliable acting skills, and is from Beijing, and has that energy. He also thought of Gong Li. Gong Li is in the Central Academy of Drama, she probably won’t be able to act in “Red Sorghum”, and her career route has changed in a dark way. "Bao Qingtian" reminds Bao Guoan. Bao Guoan's appearance is actually very upright, but he acts like Cao Cao too well, which gives people a stereotype. There is also a young actor named Xing Minshan, who was born in Kunqu opera, Bai Yunrui in "The White-Browed Hero" and Jian Chen in "The Wind and Clouds". He looks very handsome in ancient costume, and can play Zhan Zhao or Bai Yutang. In addition, Chen Qi stayed at home. He is watching "My First Half of Life". (Three more chapters...)
