Chapter 428 The sun is shining brightly Facing Xu Kun's fierce gaze that showed no sign of weakness, Lu Chuan could not help but shrink back. But Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye, who had been silent, were unhappy. Lou Ye frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean you don't support us filming?" "no other meaning." Xu Kun shrugged and said, "I don't doubt your ability to make movies. I'm just afraid that you will use the same method of analyzing the villain's humanity to apply to the Japanese devils back then." "What do you mean?!" Lu Chuan, who had just retreated, became angry again: "Do you think I would glorify those Japanese devils?! Let me tell you, I collected a lot of historical data beforehand, and all the characters have historical prototypes!" "So what if there is a historical prototype?!" Xu Kun responded sharply: "Any group with a large enough number can find exceptions and shining points! Even if you don't mean to glorify the devils, as long as you magnify and highlight the exceptions, you will definitely have a similar effect." Hearing Xu Kun's words, Jia Zhangke was also unhappy. He tapped the coffee table with his fingers and said, "Director Xu, your words are biased. If we don't pay attention to some deep-seated problems, how can we urge everyone to avoid and improve them?!" "Director Jia, your argument does make some sense when applied to marginal figures, but we are discussing the Japanese devils now!"
Xu Kun also knocked on the coffee table with his fingers. "Let me put it this way. You may have seen or heard of the TV series "Conquer" in which I participated. Director Gao Qunshu also filmed it based on the real prototype and did not hide the dark side of Liu Huaqiang. But what was the result? After the TV series became popular, a lot of people admired Liu Huaqiang. Even the younger brother I played was imitated by some people..." Xu Kun was just talking when he was interrupted by Lou Ye: "The character portrayed by Lu Chuan is definitely not that superficial!" Lu Chuan also raised his neck and said, "I can send you Kadokawa Masao's script. Everything this character experiences has a historical prototype - and the actor who plays this role is also a Japanese actor. Not only does he struggle with humanity in the play, he is also constantly reflecting outside the play..." "Don't say so much useless things." Xu Kun also interrupted Lu Chuan: "Let me ask you, what is the final ending of this character?" "He killed himself." Lu Chuan said frankly: "The historical prototype participated in the Nanjing Incident and committed suicide shortly after returning to China." "Haha~" Xu Kun put on sunglasses and picked up a mask, then stood up from the armchair and said, "There are so many devils who are worse than animals and live with a clear conscience. Many of them even took the opportunity to make a fortune and live a much better life than most Chinese people. In the end, the one you chose was a man who committed suicide out of conscience... I think there is nothing more to say. Goodbye." Having said that, he prepared to leave. "Wait a moment!" Lu Chuan grabbed his sleeve and said excitedly: "Speak clearly! What's wrong with me doing this?! This is a real historical event, and I did not cover up the things the devils did at all, massacres, rapes, looting... I will film them all as they were!" Jia Zhangke frowned and asked: "If it were you, how would you shoot it?" Xu Kun, who was about to break away from Lu Chuan, answered without thinking: "Of course, it is from the Chinese perspective to witness the evil deeds of the devils. Even if we need more complicated villains, we can create a few dog traitors who surrender to the Japanese in order to survive, but end up with a miserable end. What’s important is that I will list the Japanese who are still alive at the end of the film, as well as some of their descendants who made a fortune because of the war, and then add eight big blood-stained characters at the end: The sun will shine, the sun will shine! " After hearing this, Lu Chuan's brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river character). After a long pause, he said, "What if I put this paragraph up, too? You..." Before he could finish his words, Jia Zhangke pulled him and took over the conversation and said to Xu Kun helplessly: "Director Xu, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the review if you do this, right?" "Haha~" Xu Kun sneered again: "Aren't there enough films you've made that didn't pass the censorship? Why are you worried about this one?"
"You are just being unreasonable." Lou Ye said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Lu has invested so much money that he has put all his family's assets into it..." "These have nothing to do with me." Xu Kun interrupted him again and said, "I will not terminate Fan Wei's contract. You should find someone else." Having said that, he ignored the three people, left Lu Chuan and walked out. When passing by the bar, he took out a hundred-dollar bill and slapped it on the bar. It was definitely not enough to pay for four people, but it was more than enough to pay for himself. When I pushed open the door, I heard Lu Chuan yelling behind me: "I do this so that more people will remember it. Do you know how many people in Japan and abroad know about this tragedy?! If I don't film it..." The following words were blocked by the thick glass and Xu Kun did not hear them. Xu Kun didn't want to listen either. Lu Chuan may indeed be motivated by public interest, and he may also have some patriotism, but his excessive pursuit of exploring the shining points of the villains is simply disgusting in a movie like this. No matter how well he makes this film, in the end it will just be a banquet with flies and cockroaches mixed in. But Lu Chuan is right about one thing. If no one films this kind of subject, how can more people remember all this? On his way back, Xu Kun thought about it all the way and decided that he would not touch this kind of subject for the time being. If he shot it too realistically, it would not pass the censorship. If he shot it too fakely, he would feel guilty. Finally, he decided to ask someone to find out if there was anyone in China making documentaries on this subject. If there was, he would donate some money to them, which would be his best contribution. Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party must not try to dig out some damn humanity from the Japanese who participated in the massacre like Lu Chuan did. ………… Because he was reminded of that period of history, Xu Kun was still a little depressed until the evening. Even when facing the mixed doubles of Li Xiaolu and Yang Mi, he couldn't muster any interest. Fortunately, Li Xiaolu was easy to deal with, and Yang Mi needed his help, so he didn't dare to say anything even if he was ignored. Before going to bed, Yang Mi took out the conditions offered by Rong Xinda: to create a net profit of no less than 30 million for the company before the expiration of the contract. Yang Mi's contract expires in 11, which means there are still more than three years left. This deadline is similar to the gambling agreement she signed in the original time and space, but the amount is reduced by ten times. This is mainly because when she signed the gambling agreement in her previous life, it was already 2011. At that time, Yang Mi had already gained considerable fame, but now she is just a small loser. It is only with the help of Xu Kun and the Teddy Sisters that we have the bargaining power. Xu Kun didn't say anything at the time. It was only until the next morning after morning exercises that he allowed Yang Mi to boldly sign. Yang Mi was so happy that she almost did the Three Plays of Plum Blossom. ten o'clock. Huang Bin sent the publicity arrangements for "Assembly" on time, but it was not very comprehensive because some things were being communicated between Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan. In addition... Huang Bin also brought a script, the script of Nanjing! Nanjing! It was not a role script, but a copy of the director's script.
It is estimated that Lu Chuan was dissatisfied with Xu Kun's attitude yesterday, so he wanted to let Xu Kun see his "overall plan". (End of this chapter)
