"Brother Qi, breakfast is delivered!"

"Push it!"

The next morning, the sun in Cannes mixed with the Mediterranean sea breeze blew into the hotel terrace. Xiao Mo pushed the dining cart and placed the dishes and bowls on the table on the terrace to prepare for sharing breakfast.

If it were in ancient times, he had to taste it first, and there was a special name called Shangshi Eunuch, or a food eunuch.

Chen Qi got up early today, looked at the scenery on the terrace for a while, turned around and sat down.

Cannes belong to southern France. There are quite a few differences between the north and south of France, and the breakfast is full of local characteristics. There are two types of drinks, coffee and herbal tea, as well as well-processed baguettes, local rustic bread, jam, olive sauce, butter, etc., and a plate of fresh fruit...

"Blood sugar package, I'm 28 years old, I can hold on!"

Chen Qi complained, picking up a piece of cut baguette and applying butter. Many people think that foreign bread can be used as a weapon. In fact, people need to process it when they buy it home, and then bake it and eat it with soup or various sauces.

Xiao Mo is very ordinary now. He has experienced a lot of experience abroad and is skillfully wiping jam and asked: "Brother Qi, what is the origin of that Ms. Xu Feng yesterday?"

"A Taiwanese actor married a wealthy Hong Kong businessman and now opens a film company."

"She seems to be very interested in us?"

"Maybe there are projects that need to cooperate with..."

Chen Qi smiled and knew it well. After the screening of "Kids" yesterday, a group of people had a meal, so naturally they couldn't talk about any political topics at the dinner table, all about the art of film.

Xu Feng was very positive and said he would come to visit today.

He reads newspapers while eating, and cannes magazines. The comments on "The King of Children" have been released, with praise and criticism.

"Great visual language! The natural landscape of the mountain area constructs a coexistence of depression and detachment. The picture is full of Zen, and each frame flows like an ink painting."

"The absurd teaching in the movie is a sharp satire of the nihilization of knowledge, and the director sublimates personal memory into a question of the inheritance of human civilization."

"Filled with a lot of metaphors about the dilemma of intellectuals in China during the special period!"

This article has been written a lot and analyzed in a slew-like manner. What is a special period? Everyone knows it. Westerners are very, very interested in this, and later generations have even become a "symbol of surrender."

It is easy for domestic directors to shoot this or writers to write these things, which can easily gain Western recognition.

There is also a rumor that I don’t know whether it is true or false: It is said that the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" describes this period, and the West thought it was surrender, but the result was not that true. "The Three-Body Problem" was very popular.

Didn’t Netflix film “The Three-Body Problem”?

Looking at that camera, it’s just because of the little vinegar, there’s not even a dumpling.

"The film is too long and dull, lacks dramatic conflict, and tests the audience's patience."

"The director is addicted to symbolic symbols and sacrifices narrative fluency."

"A viewers who are unfamiliar with Chinese history may find it difficult to understand and can only be regarded as an aesthetic wonder."

European movies are just about art. They can understand "King of Children". Their evaluations are objective and they tell them all about their advantages and disadvantages: "King of Children" has a good shot and a mess of narratives.

This is also a common problem in the fifth generation.

"Brother Qi, I'll go out first!"

"Um!"

Xiao Mo quickly ate and left the room.

Chen Qi flipped through the newspaper again and said that the current popular movie is a Danish movie called "Per the Conqueror", which tells the story of a Swedish farmer who brought his son to Denmark to survive.

This film won the Palme d'Or this year, and now "Rain Man" disrupts the situation, but the result is unknown.

It's about 9:30.

Xu Feng and Sylvia Son came over. Xu Feng was wearing a women's suit, still looking heroic.

I have seen it yesterday, so I am no longer polite. After a few words, I made it clear. She said, "Mr. Chen! I bought the copyright of Li Bihua's "Farewell My Concubine", and Li Bihua called for Leslie Cheung to act. And yesterday I watched "King of Children" and Director Chen's talent conquered me. He is very suitable to direct "Farewell My Concubine".

"You want to find me to cooperate?"

"Of course! "Farewell My Concubine" is best filmed in Beijing. As long as you support it, it will definitely be a good show."

Xu Feng was full of interest and said, "If you have time, we might as well talk in detail. I can tell you the story of "Farewell My Concubine"..."

"No need! I've read this novel."

Chen Qi interrupted her, without even thinking, and said directly: "If I don't shoot such a scene, you'd better not shoot it."

"Why? The idea, story, cultural tradition and depth of thought of "Farewell My Concubine" can be made, and it can definitely become a classic work of Chinese-language films!"

"What depth of thought? Feudal poison? Perverted old eunuch sexually assaulting little boys? Homosexual? Or humanity torrent? The oppression and destruction of human nature by the system? Sorry, I never photograph these."

"Can you show that it doesn't exist if you don't take photos? You are deceiving yourself!" Xu Feng was anxious.

"Why!"

Zhang Aijia stabbed her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's communicate well and discuss things. Actually, I have always been curious about why your movie is completely different from other Chinese-language movies. What are your ideas?"

“…”

Chen Qi glanced at Chang Aijia, saw her begging, and gave her some face and said, "Okay, let's communicate."

"First of all, I will only tell you about the award-winning part. What kind of movie can win awards? In addition to its own quality, you must understand today's political ideas. Simply put, it is to please.

What is pleasing?

What Westerners like to see, you show them what they want. That question is, what do you think in the eyes of Westerners, China and Chinese are like?”

“…”

Seeing them silent, Chen Qi said, "Of course it is a backward, feudal, barbaric, and pathological China. Do they like to see an open, modern, and developing China? It is definitely not. This is a natural decision.

So they like to watch behind, so you can take pictures behind;

They like to watch the oppression of the system, so you can shoot the oppression of the system;

They love to watch the torrent of humanity, so you can shoot the torrent of humanity;

You can really win awards when you shoot like this, but is it cheap or not? It doesn’t mean that if I don’t shoot, these things do not exist, but the choice lies with us.

It was we who decided to show Westerners what to do!

You may choose to be self-deprecating to please them, in the name of depth of thought. I don’t, I won’t take the initiative to come over and lick them even though I know that Westerners are full of stereotypes about us.”

Chen Qi suddenly smiled and said, "Then you may be surprised, why can I win the award if I don't shoot those things?"

“It’s very simple!”

"Because I'm kidnapping them!"

"For example, "Beautiful Life", World War II concentration camps are the common pain point of the West, and their unparalleled political correctness. I show them the concentration camps in China, the Americans, British, and French in the concentration camps... They show them that we jointly fight against the Japanese invaders, and the common emotions of our human nature!

Do they dare not give me a prize?

Not only did I win the award, but I also let the film spread all over the world, crucifying Japan's establishment of concentration camps in China, and telling the world their crimes!

There is also "Man in New York". Through publicity, we let many Americans know about China's food culture and build a cultural bridge through food... There is also "Yi Shi Mo", which is a work on women's themes and a common emotion for all mankind... I am doing these things through movies, what are you doing?

Enthusiastic about your depth of thought?”

Chen Qi looked at the two people who were already extremely embarrassed and said, "Of course, we have different positions and different opinions. You can shoot your "Farewell My Concubine". But you'd better shoot in Taiwan, if you want to be in Hong Kong and the Mainland..."

"I didn't nod, you can't take a photo."
