Chapter 221 Talented Female Director (Seventh Update!)
"Junzai, I've found the person you're looking for, come out quickly, let's go see her together at night."
On the phone, Liu Tianci spoke in a hurry, but when Yin Jun arrived at the appointed place at 6 o'clock, he saw him leisurely drinking milk tea and eating pineapple buns.
And there was no one else around him.
This made Yin Jun wonder, "Brother Ci, where is the person you are looking for?"
"Sister Xuan is making up filming, and she won't get off work later." Liu Tianci greeted Yin Jun to sit down, "Come on, have something to eat first. If Sister Xuan works overtime, she probably won't be able to stop for two or three hours."
"Sister Xuan?" Yin Jun sat down, wondering who this person was.
"Yes, her name is Tang Shuxuan, have you heard her name?" Liu Tianci asked.
"So it's her!?" Yin Jun nodded.
Among ordinary people, Tang Shuxuan was not famous at all.
But as a representative of the first generation of filmmakers in Xiangjiang, Tang Shuxuan is actually very thoughtful, and all of her films are very profound and sharp.
Moreover, Tang Shuxuan has a good personality and looks like a big sister. Many filmmakers in Xiangjiang learned a lot from her.
However, after Tang Shuxuan's career was hindered, she left Xiangjiang in a fit of anger, and returned to the United States to take care of her husband and teach her children. She was very neat and easy.
If she can stay in Xiangjiang, Xu Anhua may not be able to rank first in Xiangjiang, because Tang Shuxuan is much bolder than her.
But Tang Shuxuan's box office is not as good as Xu Anhua's, because Xu Anhua will take care of the box office anyway, but Tang Shuxuan only cares about the artistry of the movie itself, not the commercial success.
In fact, the group of directors who created the wave all had such stinks, including Old Freak Xu. Fortunately, he soon came to his senses under Shi Lansheng's guidance, otherwise he would probably have become the same as that group of people. , more and more into the niche circle.
If Yin Jun's memory is good, Tang Shuxuan should finish filming her last movie this year, and then return to live in the United States, and she will have nothing to do with the film industry from then on.
She is 41 years old and is 37 years old this year. She has two children at home, both brought by her husband.
These years, Tang Shuxuan has been traveling between Xiangjiang and the United States. She has been tired for so long, but her film career has not progressed, or this era cannot accommodate her art, so Tang Shuxuan is somewhat disheartened.
This is a serious and talented woman who graduated from the world's number one film talent school - the film department of Southern California University. She is proficient in several languages and is praised by the world for her conduct in the world.
After 20 or 30 years, when she is old, many Hong Kong film stars will visit her when they go to the United States, which shows her popularity.
Yin Jun originally asked Liu Tianci to find him a reliable translator who might be able to translate his novels into English.
Liu Tianci knew that Yin Jun was a genius, so writing a script was the same thing as writing a novel, so he wasn't surprised.
According to his relationship with Yin Jun, when he was entrusted, he naturally searched for an interpreter very seriously.
Of course, the most important thing about this translation is that it is reliable. Otherwise, if you take Junzai's book and say that you wrote it yourself, wouldn't that cause Junzai a lot of losses, and then it will be difficult for you to talk about it?
The second point is to have very strong writing skills, especially English writing skills. Many people speak English very well, but when it comes to English writing, what they write is definitely a disaster.
Thirdly, it is best if this person is a serious literary person, so that when translating, the beautiful feeling of Chinese can be written into fluent and beautiful English, which is conducive to the publication of Junzai's novels in European and American countries.
It is really hard to find translations that meet such good conditions.
Liu Tianci thought of many people and got to know many people, but none of them felt appropriate.
How could Yin Jun be lucky? Just yesterday, Tang Shuxuan suddenly called Liu Tianci and asked him to borrow a batch of recording equipment.
Liu Tianci and Tang Shuxuan are old acquaintances. When he was at the bottom of wireless, he was transferred to Shaw Films to work. For a while, Tang Shuxuan worked as a management producer at Shaw Brothers. At that time, Tang Shuxuan gave him a lot of help. Well, Liu Tianci was also very grateful. After she came to power, he never said anything about Tang Shuxuan's affairs.
So he immediately patted his chest and agreed to borrow the recording equipment.
Just as he put down the phone, Liu Tianci suddenly remembered that Tang Shuxuan seemed to be the person Yin Jun was looking for, and all her characteristics were incomparably suitable!
Tang Shuxuan has lived in the United States for more than ten years, graduated from the Film Department of the University of Southern California, and is a director herself. There is no need to question her skills in script writing and film expression art.
Besides, Tang Shuxuan will return to the United States after filming this movie, and she will have a lot of time to translate the novel, and by the way, she will also find a job for Sister Xuan to subsidize her family, which is the best of both worlds.
If such a talented woman is willing to accept Yin Jun's commission, it will definitely be Yin Jun's blessing!
Thinking of this, he immediately called Tang Shuxuan and told Yin Jun's entrustment.
Of course, Tang Shuxuan had heard of Yin Jun's name. After thinking about it for a day, he gave Liu Tian the answer that he wanted to talk to Yin Jun this afternoon.
As a result, not long after Liu Tianci called Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan had something to do again. There was something wrong with the filming there, and he needed to work overtime for a while, so he could only wrong them to wait.
Listening to Liu Tianci's narration, Yin Jun probably has a bottom line in his heart.
It was almost 8:30 in the evening when Yin Jun saw a very handsome woman with short hair walking briskly into the tea restaurant.
"Sister Xuan, here!"
Liu Tianci quickly stood up, walked over in a doggy manner, greeted her, and helped her move the chair, and then ordered a piece of buttered toast, a piece of fried egg and ham sausage, and a piece of coffee and milk tea. He followed Tang Shuxuan and sat down.
"Sister Xuan!"
Before Tang Shuxuan sat down, Yin Jun stood up and greeted her.
Tang Shuxuan smiled and stretched out her hand. After shaking Yin Jun's hand, she greeted her, "Sit down, sorry, I have to work overtime for filming today, have you waited long?"
"No, we also ate and drank, it's nothing." Liu Tianci said hastily.
"Let's stop gossip." Tang Shuxuan nodded lightly, "Ciguan told me about your novel, show it to me before you talk about it. If it is well written, I will translate it for you. If it is If it's child's play, then I won't help."
"good!"
Yin Jun was surprised by her straightforwardness, but without thinking too much, he took out two large envelopes from his bag, "Here are two books I wrote, sister Xuan, please take a look."
"Well, I'll watch it when I get home at night." After Tang Shuxuan took it, she put it in her backpack without looking carefully, "Ah Jun, don't you mind if I call you that? They all say that you are the first screenwriter. It’s only been a day, and now I have a question to ask you, I don’t know if it’s okay?”
"OK."
"Which one do you think is more important, commercial films or literary films? Why do so few people like literary films, or even understand them? Is it true that the films in this world are all for fun, but don't need to think about it? In this world There are so many things we need to discuss and think about, what do you think?"
Tang Shuxuan opened her mouth to ask a lot of questions, which made Liu Tianci next to her a little dumbfounded.
At this time, the food he ordered for Tang Shuxuan also arrived. While eating, Tang Shuxuan waited leisurely for Yin Jun's answer, as if it was not her who asked the sharp question just now.
Yin Jun didn't expect Tang Shuxuan to ask this straight to the point, but her question has been discussed by many people in future forums. Yin Jun has a lot of positive and negative opinions in his hands, so Tang Shuxuan can definitely listen to any aspect. With relish.
After pondering for a while, Yin Jun said slowly: "I think this question should be viewed differently at different times and in different places."
"Say!" Tang Shuxuan waved her hand while eating the fried egg.
"If it was an era when people lived very rich and peaceful, then there would be a good market for these literary and artistic films that dig out their hearts, and there are also a group of young people who pursue literature and art who are willing to watch." Yin Jundao, "For example, two Ten years from now, Europe, I think, will be a paradise for literary films."
"The current Xiangjiang is not good, so will the future Xiangjiang work?" Tang Shuxuan asked.
"No." Yin Jun shook his head and said, "Xiangjiang is a small place with no rich connotations at all. The strong pressure of life here and the overcrowded environment will make people feel like a speeding train. I will be free to think about something. So from now to now, the most suitable movies for Xiangjiang are fast food culture movies. After watching, laughing, and forgetting after going out, such movies have great potential for development.”
"You have such a poisonous mouth!" Tang Shuxuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Go on, I want to know what if you are in the Mainland?"
Tang Shuxuan was born in Caiyun, and she came to Xiangjiang when she was a few years old, so she still has a lot of affection for Misty when she was young.
This is also one of the reasons why she shoots some incidents in the Mainland when she makes movies.
"The mainland is definitely not working now. After 40 years, the economy will develop and people's lives will be richer. There will be a lot of markets for such movies." Yin Jun said, "Before that, people cared more about food. I can’t even eat enough, how can I get the mood to watch these sad and heavy movies?”
"You also think that literary and artistic movies are moaning for nothing?" Tang Shuxuan looked at him with piercing eyes.
"That's not what I said." Yin Jun said, "Every good movie has its own deep core. The same is true of literary and artistic movies. But how can we express our own ideas and make more people understand it? Understanding, rather than filming and expressing far away from the aesthetics and understanding of ordinary people, this is the difference between a good art master and a completely self-centered director."
Tang Shuxuan nodded, "Have you seen the movies I made? What kind of director do you think I am?"
"Not the worst, not the best." Yin Jun replied.
"Hehe, you know the golden mean." Facing Yin Jun's cunning, Tang Shuxuan did not get angry.
She is a very determined woman, talking to Yin Jun, she just wanted to find some keys to the answers, but Yin Jun's answer was not necessarily the answer she was looking for.
"I've seen all the movies you wrote. If one day, you can write a good art movie script, don't forget to consider me." Tang Shuxuan said leisurely, "I still have some regrets about movies."
"I will consider it." Yin Jun nodded slightly.
Tang Shuxuan's director level is not bad, as long as she can meet a good script, she can show her power.
Although she doesn't make money from filming, if Oscar is the goal, this kind of taste is very suitable for the appetite of those old men in the film academy!
