Chapter 337 Update [12] "Master Giuseppe Tornatore said: Shooting this short film for BJ is an important experience in my creative career. I saw the eyes of young people on the street were full of expectations and visions for the future. They believe in the future but don’t give up tradition. I am moved by the enthusiasm of Beijingers and the city’s rich cultural atmosphere.” After listening to the staff's translation, Xu Kun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, who said that foreigners don't understand the ways of the world? It's obvious that he often deals with the government - it seems that even abroad, big directors cannot avoid being involved in politics. In fact, Xu Kun thinks this activity is a bit rigid. The process is basically set. As seniors and juniors, Xu Kun and Giuseppe Tornatore can only discuss things within a limited framework. To put it bluntly, all Beijing and Taiwan want is for the two people to meet as guests. As for what to talk about in the meeting, Beijing and Taiwan actually don't care - even if you don't follow the script, they can still broadcast it according to the script. Of course, given Xu Kun's relationship with Beijing and Taiwan, he would definitely not do such a thing to sabotage others. After the interview, while Han Sanping was inviting Gisebbe to visit China Film, Xu Kun hooked Baoqiang's neck and walked aside, whispering, "How is it going? Is there any progress on the road?" Baoqiang shook his head in confusion: "I don't know." "Then what do you know?"
"I, I told you everything." "What?" "I told him everything about my family and what happened after I got married." Baoqiang recalled what happened in the car, his expression was obviously a little dazed, and he seemed to be wondering why he didn't follow the routine, but instead talked a lot about his family situation and his aspirations for married life. When Xu Kun heard this, he felt that something was wrong. Baoqiang is very clear about his vision of future married life, which can be summed up as follows: the man works outside and the woman works inside, and they have a wife and children and a warm home. Can the ambitious new-age women agree with this kind of lying-down life? "It's hopeless. Let's switch to the next one." Xu Kun patted Bao Qiang's shoulder, as if he was sending away a dying patient - it was indeed so difficult from the beginning, and it was still too difficult for Bao Qiang. "This……" Bao Qiang scratched his head and said, "Brother Kun, I don't think it has reached that point yet." "What do you mean?" Xu Kun asked in surprise: "Do you think she is willing to live with you, with a wife and children?" Baoqiang said confidently: "I said I would hire a nanny when the time comes!" Well, this is a big improvement for him. After a pause, Bao Qiang said vaguely: "Anyway, I don't think things have reached that point yet. I feel, I feel... I can't really explain it, but I won't give up easily!" To put it bluntly, just follow your feelings. Xu Kun wanted to persuade him a little more and tell him not to hang himself on a tree. But when I think about my own experience in bed, although it is hundreds of times more than Baoqiang's, when it comes to experience in getting married and starting a family, it is infinitely close to zero.
I didn't feel comfortable saying anything more and just prayed silently that Baoqiang's feeling was not an illusion. After the interview was over, Xu Kun let Baoqiang move freely and then drove to LeTV. This time he came to discuss the matter of "Chinese Language" with Gan Wei, and also because he had got a new job for Tianshang Zhixi and needed to communicate with LeTV. Of course, it is only natural to experience Korean service at the same time. The new job is to perform the opening show at the Golden Eagle Awards. Mango TV took the initiative to contact them about this matter, probably with the intention of compensating Xu Kun. After all, the temporary change of the award name was somewhat directed against him. In fact, Xu Kun didn't mind it too much. He just thought that with his current development trajectory, he would have fewer opportunities to film TV series in the future. Winning a slightly more prestigious TV award could be regarded as a commemoration of his acting career that he had built from scratch over the past few years. Upon hearing the news, the four members of Tian Shang Zhi Xi were extremely happy. You know, to be able to open an award ceremony in Korea, you must be a singer with a certain level of popularity. In fact, they were also very excited when they went to warm up for Liu Dehua last time - Hong Kong movies at their peak were also very popular in Korea, so Koreans are not unfamiliar with Hong Kong stars of that era. Gan Wei was more interested in "Chinese". "I asked someone to check the music library, but I didn't find any similar songs. Brother Kun, can you tell me your thoughts in detail?" "It was just a flash of inspiration." Xu Kun tried hard to recall, and it seemed that this song was sung in the 07 or 08 Spring Festival Gala. It was normal that it has not been created yet. He actually couldn't remember the entire song, he only remembered some of the core melody and lyrics. Under Gan Wei's repeated urging, he could only rack his brains to recall: "The beginning can be a combination of nursery rhymes or tongue twisters and rap elements, such as 'The carrying pole is wide, the bench is long, and the carrying pole wants to be tied to the bench'... What's that expression on your face? I'm not a professional singer." Xu Kun knew that he was not cut out for this, so he pulled Li Zhiyan over and taught her sentence by sentence, and then let her try to adjust herself. Although the final product was different from what Xu Kun had imagined, it sounded pretty good - which was normal, as the K-pop that Koreans have been producing in recent years is of a similar style. "Then we can change the singing style to a more cheerful tone, saying that foreigners eat our food and like our traditional art, and then say 'the whole world is learning Chinese, Confucius' words, it is becoming more and more international, the whole world is speaking Chinese, what we say makes the world listen carefully'. That’s about it, with some nursery rhymes and tongue twisters at the end—oh, you can also add poetic rhythms like ‘仄仄平平’.” Gan Wei didn't realize the meaning of the 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 an ordinary Chinese person, whether it will become popular depends on the quality of the final product. But if it is sung by a foreigner, it will definitely become popular as long as the marketing is good. If the quality is up to standard, it might become a classic! "Brother Kun!" Gan Wei excitedly grabbed Xu Kun's arm and said, "You are so talented! How on earth did you come up with this idea?!" Facing the undisguised admiration on Gan Wei'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 come to her senses by now. After all, Koreans would do anything to enhance their national pride. So she easily understood what kind of impact a foreign group singing such a song would have in China. So he hurriedly explained to his teammates, and then three pairs of sparkling eyes were all aimed at Xu Kun, as if they 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 when she was halfway through her words, the eyes that were looking at Xu Kun with admiration suddenly turned to her. Li Zhiyan scolded in Mandarin: "Chengmei, you have to speak Chinese in front of Director Xu!" Jin Baojing originally wanted to refute Hong Chengmei in Korean, but after hearing what Li Zhiyan said, he had to switch to the stuttering Mandarin: "Don't play with us, we have to... to be so thoughtful!" At first, she strongly opposed sacrificing herself to Xu Kun, but now she is also the person who least wants Xu Kun's plan to be disturbed. 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!" Upon hearing this, Hong Chengmei knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, I just... just..." She spoke more fluently than Jin Baojing, but her vocabulary was not as good as Jin Baojing, so she got stuck for a while. Upon seeing this, Li Zhiyan and the other two also knelt down and begged Xu Kun for forgiveness. "Is it that serious?" Gan Wei was a little confused. Wasn't it too easy for these Korean women to kneel? Xu Kun shrugged and said, "This is not uncommon in the Korean idol circle. I heard that in front of some big shots, Korean idols can only kneel or crawl." "It's hard to imagine. Fortunately, I was not born in South Korea." Gan Wei shook his head, then said excitedly: "I will find a few composers to try and release this song during the Chinese New Year." Then he said with some regret: "It's a pity that it's too late, otherwise this song might be able to be performed on the Spring Festival Gala!" (End of this chapter)
