Uncle Ge responded with a smile: "I can only say that I am very familiar with my role. Since "Alive", few people have asked me to act in meaningful movies. Brother Chen Long, you have to give Shanzi a fan on this matter. It also helps me become more popular before I retire!"
Ten years ago, he won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for "To Live", and the film won numerous awards along the way. Even the American Film Critics Association and the British Film Academy Awards gave it the Best Foreign Language Film Award, as well as the Oscar. Nominated.
The director of that movie was Zhang Yimou.
But Uncle Ge did not go to Zhang Yimou for this matter, but to Chen Long. It can be seen how seriously the latter was regarded by Liu Qingshan.
Chen Long knew the truth and asked: "Why are you looking for me? Shanzi is full of ideas. I don't think I am more convincing than you!"
Uncle Ge shook his head: "You have safely handed over your only son into his hands. If I don't look for you, who will I look for?"
This reason is extremely powerful. Everyone knows what kind of beating nature his son is. Combined with this point of view, and look at Chen Zuming, who is currently so busy that his heels are touching the back of his head, anyone who has a little understanding of the changes can determine the reason.
Is Chen Long short of money? I am afraid that apart from the wealthy people in Xiangjiang, he is the richest person.
As his only descendant, Chen Zuming was entrusted by his father to train him for the obvious purpose. How far can their relationship go?
So Chen Long nodded subconsciously: "Only Shan Zi can control my boy. Even his teachers do one thing in front of them and another behind their backs. Only Shan Zi's words can be remembered firmly by others before and after him!"
"Of course, you can't force anything. Although I have a good relationship with him, it's still hard to open my mouth about this kind of thing. I don't ask for countless awards like Director Zhang's "Alive", at least I no longer rely on My little people’s humor to catch people’s attention is what I want!”
Uncle Ge added another sentence.
Chen Long couldn't refuse this request. He was thinking about how to speak when Liu Qingshan came over at this time.
He immediately mentioned it half-jokingly: "Shanzi, Uncle Ge is lamenting when there will be another movie like "Alive". Do you have a suitable script?"
In fact, the words between the few people did not escape Liu Qingshan's perception. He appeared as the topic deepened: "Already prepared! Uncle Ge, I want you to play the role of a scheming and ruthless leader of a pickpocketing gang. You Are you happy?"
He was talking about another movie after "Let the Bullets Fly", which was also one of the works shown in Xiaoxing's database that had not yet been copyrighted.
There were many works like this, and he immediately asked Xiaoxing to register the copyrights one by one.
Not only that, he also found Wang Baoqiang, the actor who plays Shagen who is still an extra in Hengdian, but he is still under the spotlight and has not personally invited him yet.
Ge You was very excited when he heard this: "As long as you don't let me repeat the same performance routine, I will accept your job. When do you plan to start filming? I can arrange the schedule this morning!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Probably by the end of this year or early next year, the details have not been finalized yet, but your employer Qinghuang Company already knows about it, and I have already said hello to Boss Yang!"
Uncle Ge knew that Liu Qingshan and Yang Wancheng had an excellent personal relationship, "It turns out that you kid had a plan for a long time, which made me shameless and ask for help from Brother Chen Long to ask for a favor!"
"Uncle Ge, there is no human relationship between us brothers. You and the eldest brother are both good brothers to me, and we do everything we can! And I still rely on you to help me support the scene, so I applied for approval from Boss Yang without telling you. !”
"That's it, I'll remember what you said. You can design that character no matter how vicious it is. Change the taste occasionally so that I can get over the addiction to acting!"
"The script has been completed and will be handed over to you tonight. If there is anything inappropriate, please report it as soon as possible so that it can be revised as soon as possible!"
Everyone else's eyes were full of fire, especially the look in Chen Long's eyes, but Liu Qingshan knew it clearly.
He intends to give his son a chance to star in a starring role. Now this man's scripts are in hot demand. According to the current market conditions, there has never been a drop in box office and reputation.
But Liu Qingshan had his own plan. Chen Zuming's own conditions were limited and he had no experience in a professional school. He planned to let him enter a film school for further study for a period of time, at least to have a systematic training process.
Otherwise, he would be in a hurry to take on the leading role, and all the veteran actors around him would be watching helplessly. If his acting skills are not up to the mark, it will be his father who will be embarrassed.
But now is not the time to talk about this topic, so he pretended not to mention other things: "Mr. Takakura, I have a lot of cooperation with your NKH TV station, and I promised their president Asamiya Go. Mr. Yue, please help plan a TV series project. After Mr. Yue recovers from his condition, are you interested in starring in a TV series?"
Takakura Ken has only participated in one TV series so far, which is the autobiographical series of the same name "Takakura Ken".
Hanguo is a small island country where I studied. The status of TV drama actors and movie actors is much different. A top emperor superstar like him will naturally not appear in TV dramas.
But when he heard Liu Qingshan mention this matter, he knew that there must be something special, otherwise he would not be allowed to accept the TV program as if he was devaluing himself.
"Actually, I don't refuse to appear in TV series. As long as the script is suitable, there is no problem on my side!" Ken Takakura replied.
The drama Liu Qingshan presented is "Late Night Cafeteria". It is the No. 1 TV drama about small island countries all over the world in the future. It is adapted from the original comic book. Through the superb performances of many small island countries, This brings about a concept of "original scenery" that has begun to be valued throughout Asia and even the world.
"Original landscape" is a concept that incorporates elements of psychoanalysis. Generally speaking, it refers to the environment in which a person is in the stage of forming his or her self-awareness. This environment can be a real natural landscape or a landscape created by literature, literature, etc. Cultural representations constituted by art, etc.
For most people, the original scenery will disappear from our daily lives after adulthood, but at the same time it will always exist in people's hearts and become the projection object of nostalgia.
Especially for the first batch of immigrants who entered the city after the war to build a small island nation, their original scenery was mostly the countryside of their hometown.
As a result, a series of works praising the beautiful rural scenery of the small island country became popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
For the second and third generation people in this country after the war, their hometown is the city, and their nostalgia is Shinjuku.
But at the same time, the cities they are familiar with are changing every day due to political changes, economic development and globalization.
Because of this, the Showa-like scenery and interpersonal relationships in "Midnight Diner" can penetrate directly into the hearts of the audience and become the object of comfort for them.
In the same way, for people from all over the world who have experienced or are experiencing great urban changes, although the language of the TV series is different and the dishes tasted by the characters are different, the stories told in "Midnight Diner" and the emotions behind it are still the same. It can help them find their hometown that still exists in space but has disappeared in time.
The second important element behind the success of "Late Night Diner" is the "media circle" surrounding the cuisine of the small island nation and the cultural market behind it.
The so-called mediasphere is a term commonly used in historical and cultural studies. It refers to the sum of various media—including newspapers, magazines and even new media—and media practices that exist in a society during a certain period of time.
Therefore, the reason why it can succeed in small island countries, but the versions in other countries do not perform satisfactorily, largely lies in the different media environments in each country.
However, the food basics that appear in "Midnight Diner" have already achieved their own specific status in the food spectrum as ordinary people's daily meals corresponding to high-end Western food or food.
The conditioned reflexive emotions connected to it, such as "nostalgia", "mother's taste", and "healing", have not only penetrated into the hearts of audiences in small island countries, but also deeply affected the nostalgia of "original scenery" in other countries. sense of involvement and involvement in the plot.
Liu Qingshan plans to use this series to further develop the market for comic works. As the origin of comics, the market of the small island country is naturally the most suitable soil for this type of cultural works to take root and flourish.
There is also the popularity of the protagonist Kaoru Kobayashi in the original work. It is precisely because of this play that it suddenly rose in the small island country and became a household name. Liu Qingshan hopes to use this work to allow Takakura Ken to show another side of himself while once again opening up for his own performance. Wider field. Thus creating a legend.
With the help of such a once-in-a-century superstar, he can further stimulate his influence in the small island country, thereby avoiding some natural resistance caused by political factors.
He does not expect to do well in the small island country. He just wants to use the springboard of Asia's largest entertainment market to ultimately guide the entire Asia's acceptance of Chinese culture.
This drama-like series is short and concise, with ten episodes per season, and each episode lasts about 25 minutes. It takes the fixed scene of a late-night cafeteria as the stage, and with a bowl of chazuke rice or an egg omelette, it attracts the attention of many diners. s story.
Therefore, the investment in each episode is very small, but it will bring hundreds of times of benefits. Liu Qingshan can make a lot of money with very low investment while infiltrating his influence into the small island country. at all levels.
Moreover, he also brought in private goods and replaced many of the dishes from the small island country in the original work with Chinese food. Although it only accounts for a small part, it will undoubtedly bring the concept of Chinese food into thousands of households as the series spreads around the world.
It's just that these very hidden purposes were well hidden by him in a script. Others would only think that it was a collaboration with a TV station with a simple nature and intention, or that it was just a commercial project. project only.
