Although I don’t know the price of the so-called golden Mandheling, since I’m buying coffee.
You definitely can't say that you just pat your butt and leave after eating.
So Xu Xin chatted with her there. At first they talked about animation, but then they gradually talked about movies. They bought her a cup of coffee, and Xu Xin invited her to watch a movie. Chen Rui was quite unusual. After all, he could Saw Hawthorn in advance, even though it's not a movie buff.
And the threshold for the Tokyo Film Festival is not particularly high. Just go to the official website to make an appointment to buy tickets, lock in the show you want to watch, and grab the tickets.
But Xu Xin's personal invitation was quite a big deal, so he agreed naturally and left each other's phone numbers.
Although the actual point is very strange, I did not mention it when I encountered it twice in a row due to fate.
How small is the probability of this given the population base of China? Just looking at the size of the city of Tokyo, this is quite a fate.
After chatting for a cup of coffee, the last few people walked out together and agreed to go their separate ways after meeting tomorrow morning. Xu Xin had no intention of going anywhere else and returned directly to the hotel. While sitting in the car, He was still thinking about it.
The overall feeling of this visit to the maid cafe was quite interesting, and it was definitely not a boring place. But he estimated whether he would come here for the second time, and it probably wouldn't be the case. After understanding some things, he would no longer be interested. .
However, looking at the neon lights in Tokyo, he still asked Ai Kamigen about Kabukicho, but Ai Kamigen's answer was very official. It was one of the entertainment centers in Tokyo. There are various fun places in the movie theater after watching Putin, but it is not recommended for foreigners because there is a dark bar there.
As for the so-called red light district, Shangyuan Ai didn't mention it at all. She didn't know whether it was because of national pride that didn't allow it, or because Xu Xin didn't mind it and didn't even have the intention to comment on it. He ignored it after seeing that she said it in a general way.
When he returned to the hotel, he took a look at the hotel bathtub while taking a shower. After thinking about it, he still didn't take a bath. He just took a quick shower and then lay on the bed, watching TV programs that he didn't understand and calling Yang Mi. .
The couple has been together for so many years. As long as it is not a particularly late or busy day, a phone call is the most basic thing. For my husband, he went to the maid.
Yang Mi didn't pay much attention to the matters in the cafe, because he knew that her husband's XP was not higher than that of the maids, and he was just watching the fun.
But when she heard about the prosperity of Akihabara, she gritted her teeth in regret. Did you go to the Riban area to look for it? I didn't find it. I shouldn't have found it.
I watched cartoons and some movies.
Adult magazines are sold in convenience stores. Akihabara is the holy land of two dimensions in the world. How could it be possible that convenience stores that don’t sell pornographic magazines do have pornographic magazines. I don’t know what the content is in them. I just went to buy water. There are also Following the translator, I have the nerve to see how boring it is. I’ll ask you to hang out tomorrow if you have something to do.
Do you remember those cartoons we watched and the name of the production company? What is MILY still called? The animations produced by that company looked pretty good, and talking to my husband on the phone in the middle of the night and saying a few dirty words was nothing.
After Xu Xin thought about it, he really couldn't remember the name of the animation company for a while. He couldn't remember it.
Who pays attention to the company name? It all depends on the style and content. You can buy some back. Sister, I am a director after all, I didn’t tell you.
Today I said I was going to a maid café to translate, and the way they looked at me was wrong. I said again that I was going to buy a yellow plate. If you start talking, you are a thin-skinned person, but it doesn’t matter, I am thick-skinned.
Next time we go there, I'll buy some 30 or 50 copies. I'll buy a genuine one after watching it for free for so many years. If you support it, I'll give you a deduction at the customs.
After unpacking and checking, I saw that you are satisfied with the suitcase, okay? Your reputation in China is pretty bad. Hahahaha. That’s quite embarrassing. Can you please stop laughing? Hahahaha. Brother, everyone wants to watch the movie. I really regret marrying you.
Really, what on earth did I do in my last life to marry such a thing like you, hahaha, it’s too late, hum, Brother Monkey
, I, the old pig, am going to sleep, please hurry up, hahahahaha.
Xu Xin had a nightmare that night, dreaming that he was being held and gnawed by a pig, which scared him to death. It was ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th.
For the films in the film festival, it was the best time. Xu Xin took Roppongi and met Chen Rui in a shopping mall here. However, if he didn't watch the finished film of Hawthorn with Chen Rui, he would have seen through it himself.
As a surprise film, Hawthorn Tree had three screenings at the Tokyo Film Festival. Today was the last one. He just gave Chen Rui the ticket and told him.
He had an interview next door, so Chen Rui didn't mind. He smiled and nodded before entering the cinema with his translator.
Xu Xin, on the other hand, directly followed the Gang's Qin crew to participate in an event in a different exhibition hall of the same cinema. He went to the event for more than an hour. After finishing, he did not say anything about leaving, but was waiting for Chen Rui. Not that he wanted to curry favor. Others, but because I am the inviting party.
After finishing the work, just slap your ass and leave, which is not polite either emotionally or rationally.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the movie ended. Chen Rui and the translator came out together. Chen Rui was possessed. His translator looked at Xu Xin and the whole city was amazed. These people must be in their thirties or forties. Yes, he is a person with certain life experience, although he may not be familiar with the period in the movie.
I don’t mean that I understand them particularly well, but the sense of era is the same.
Looking at the young director in front of him, he really couldn't imagine how such a young director could produce such an old-fashioned film.
This is proof that it is almost like experiencing the same movie in person.
But he couldn't express these, he could only silently reminisce about the light and pure charm of this movie in his heart. But Chen Rui is much simpler.
Director Xu is so good-looking. He was full of emotion. Although that era was also very unfamiliar to me. After all, I was only two years old when it ended. But when I was a child, I also listened to my parents. They talked about that era, and many things matched up. It’s really It's pretty.
Xu Xin smiled and nodded, as long as he is satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied.
With emotion, he asked, "Channel, we have something to do at noon and we can't have a meal together. There will be a show later. It's almost time. It's over. He has to attend the car's room in the afternoon. Although the show It is said that it only takes about twenty minutes, but it still takes time to prepare makeup and other things.
Seeing this, Chen Rui stopped asking further questions. Smiling and nodding, that's okay, I'll go back to China in the afternoon, and Director Xu will go back to China when he returns.
As the co-founder of Kingsoft Network, he also lived in Yanjing. Xu Xin readily agreed. After finally saying goodbye to him, he got in the car directly to the TV station.
The show invitation time is from 14:00 to 16:00, and it is already early 12:00 now. In the car, Su Meng took out the prepared sandwiches.
After Xu Xin dealt with it, the car quickly arrived downstairs at TV Asahi. Because Shangyuan Ai contacted him in advance, four or five people came to greet him after the car stopped.
Facing the bows and welcomes of these people, Xu Xin also bowed to express his courtesy, then followed them into the elevator, and was finally led to the backstage.
There was also a document on the table in the waiting room of Chicken Wings. Qu Xin, who was in Chinese, nodded slightly, not to mention very attentive.
And when he saw the introduction to the program and found out that it had been broadcast since 1976 and had always occupied a place in the hearts of Japanese people for so many years and was one of their favorite programs, he became cautious in his attitude toward this program.
And when she saw the host's information and discovered that the host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi was born in 1933, she twitched her lips and calculated her age. Good guy, a 77-year-old grandma is interviewing herself. What's in her hand? After reading the information, he found another CD on the table. The CD had no name, but it was written in Chinese on the cover.
Director Zhang Yimou conducted an interview with the old man in Tetsuko's room on November 19, 1990. He became interested and took the CD and put it in the DVD player.
A very low-resolution picture appeared on the TV, but the Chinese subtitles were very clear. Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, who looked very ladylike with her onion hair, introduced to the camera, then.
Now let us welcome Ju Dou’s director Zhang Yimou, a famous Chinese filmmaker.
Then the camera turned, and the old man was standing at the white door of the set, holding a baked beans video in his hand, and the smiling scene came into view.
Note that there was a knock on the door of the room at this time. After Su Meng opened the door, three people walked in.
Director Xu Xin, can I put on makeup now? Can.
After getting Shangyuan Ai's translation, Xu Xin nodded, and then the other party chatted some words with Shangyuan Ai. Shangyuan Ai nodded again, Director Xu, I will be your translator later and I will also need to put on makeup.
okay.
After nodding again to express his understanding, Xu Xin sat in front of the makeup mirror. Although the angle was a bit awkward, he could only see the reflection in the mirror. He saw the TV show, but he could hear the old man's voice clearly and probably knew what he was asking.
As the makeup artist fiddled with his face, he heard the old man's voice. This movie explores a kind of sexual relationship in the feudal era, a tragedy staged for the enemy.
As early as when I saw the original work, I felt that the film reflected the cycle of fate and the tragedy of human nature. Has great potential and started working on the adaptation of favorite actor Ken Takakura.
I have watched this movie many times and I like him very much. If possible, I hope to cooperate with him in the future.
I have watched all Akira Kurosawa's movies, and the one that impressed me the most was the Japanese movie Darth Vader.
At this stage, I think we are in the early stages of a transitional period. Directors of Akira Kurosawa's generation explored family values, moral concepts, gender roles, etc., as if they were searching for their roots.
And now, with the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers, I see that your films are beginning to challenge these values, for example, exploring teenage rebellion against divorce, domestic violence, and domestic violence.
I think this is something that comes with the development and changes of society. New values and concepts.
On this point, I think Chinese movies are the same as Japanese movies. We all have to go through this stage. Although he couldn't see the subtitles clearly, he could really hear the old man's answer.
Soon half an hour passed by, her makeup was finished, and the old man's interview ended, and he put the CD back into the box.
As a literary old man, I found in these interviews that there were no particularly extreme issues. On the contrary, he was quite calm and felt a little more at ease.
After waiting for a while, the door was knocked again, and the director with the headset politely informed Xu Xin that the recording of the program was about to begin.
In a recording scene full of Western style, the host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi sorted herself out.
After looking at the information in front of him, he glanced at the director. When he saw the other person giving a thumbs up, he nodded slightly and sat up straight.
Although the 70-year-old man was inevitably a little hunched over, he still worked hard to straighten his waist and show his best side.
After the countdown was completed, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko bowed slightly to the camera. Hello everyone, welcome to Tetsuko's room.
The guest we invited today is the first film The Untold Secret, which has set off a wave among young people. The Chinese director Xu Xin and Xu Jun, who just won the Best Director at the Venice Film Festival and broke the record for the youngest director in this award, finished his words. , Xu Xin, who had benefited over there, opened the door.
He walked in from the door alone.
Aspergillus niger, please come over and have a seat here. In translation, Ms. Yuan Ai also invited her to take a seat. At this time, Shang Yuan Ai followed and brought Xu Xin to the old lady.
In front of the long sofa, Xu Xin took a look at the old lady's sitting posture and also chose to sit upright. Then through the translation of Kamigen Ai, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko said, Xu Xin, welcome, please say hello to our audience.
Hello everyone, I am Xu Xin, a young director from China. I am very happy to be here. Xu Xin smiled and waved to the dozens of spectators and cameras opposite. Xu Xin must have received the gift we prepared backstage.
Interview with director Zhang Yimou. Received, thank you.
Listening to his polite words of thanks, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" I'm referring to you and Zhang Yimou
Regarding the relationship between the director and the Olympics, let’s not talk about the personal relationship. What we know is that you are very close, very close to each other.
After reading the interview, the person who impressed me the most was Director Zhang.
He was very young at that time and now he is very old. Am I as old as me? But in Xu Xin's stunned eyes, his words reached Xu Xin's ears along with the laughter of the audience.
Okay, this is also self-defeating.
So she smiled and waved her hands. The poet Su Shi once said, "Don't laugh when you have white hair and flowers. Time has never failed. The beautiful shopping guide Zhang is not old even in old age."
After he finished speaking, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was waiting for Kamimoto Ai's translation, but Kamimoto Ai was stunned. It wasn't his eldest brother Su Shi. I knew he was one of the greatest poets in China.
How do I translate this? He opened his mouth, suddenly bowed to Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, and also bowed to the audience.
In Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's doubtful eyes, he said.
Director Xu just quoted an ancient poem by Su Shi, a famous poet of the Chinese Dynasty. I may not have translated the words well enough. Please forgive me. Under the curious eyes of Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, I pressed the button, thought for a while and said, if you have ever seen white hair, , but with bright flowers on her head, please don't laugh at the beautiful years of beauty, nor can you destroy the ones that have been sorted as much as possible. The format of "Qi Wu" makes Su Shi's song so beautiful.
After the translation, Shangyuan Ai bowed again, which was a poem by the famous poet Su Shi.
Director Xu Xin means that the beauty of some people cannot be destroyed even by time. Director Zhang Yimou is like this, and so is you.
After Tetsuko Kuroyanagi understood what Ai Kamigen meant, she hosted this program for the rest of her life. Not to mention Japanese celebrity artists, even Hollywood stars, singers, and Oscar-winning actors interviewed many elderly people, but looked at them with surprised expressions. Xu Xin, who also looked confused and didn't know what Shangyuan Ai was talking about and why he was bowing and bending, said with a smile, it sounded true.
A gorgeous poem from China. This is the most beautiful sentence I have heard this year.
thank you. Xu Xin, uh, you are overly complimentary.
Xu Xin quickly nodded politely, while Kuroyanagi Tetsuko looked at the audience and said with an exclamation tone, it really is the heritage and charm of the Chinese culture.
Following his words, the audience nodded in unison. Miss SOSOSO's words were too accurate.
So for Xu Jun.
Director Zhang Yimou has inspired you a lot.
Yes, before I shot my first movie, I was following him on the Golden Armor crew. In addition to being busy with the Olympics, I was also learning from the acting director. I could see and learn from a close distance. Director Zhang's knowledge of movies and some shooting concepts were of great help to me.
So there is a question I once asked director Zhang Yimou, and now I want to hear Xu Jun’s answer.
What is your evaluation of Japanese movies? It was 1990 when I interviewed director Zhang Yimou. During that period, he believed that our films were entering a new stage. It is now exactly twenty years since then, and he is a new generation of filmmakers in China.
What is your evaluation of Japanese movies? Xu Xin looked like he was frowning and thinking. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have a deep understanding of the changes that Director Zhang mentioned."
Of course, when we were in school, we would also study foreign films, such as Japan, South Korea and the United States, but we are not the generation that has personal experience with the changes of the times.
As for my current understanding of Japanese films, perhaps compared to those of Director Zhang's generation, I am not as thorough as he is on a grand scale.
Let me just talk about my own feelings.
Shangyuan Ai’s translation gave him just enough time to think about it, and after he finished the translation, Xu Xin said, in fact, in my eyes, in terms of the Greater China cultural circle, the film styles of the three countries of China, Japan, and South Korea are: Very clear.
Such as South Korea.
In recent years, Korean dramas have created a Korean wave that has swept across Asia.
We will not discuss what Korean Wave is in the broad sense. Let’s just talk about Korean dramas. The pattern of Korean dramas is actually fixed, which is to make everyone’s eyes sparkle, except for me, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, etc. Completed translation by Ai Kamigen Then he nodded and continued to wait for Xu Xin to do it.
In summary, other viewers also showed expressions of approval.
Well, anyway, there is always a plot when watching Korean dramas, that is, the young master of a chaebol family falls in love with an ordinary person, and then starts a sadomasochistic relationship. The summary is really accurate.
As for Japanese dramas or pure love movies, the style is so ordinary and insignificant in everyone's eyes.
But we were shining brightly in each other's eyes, and Kuroyanagi Tetsuko was amazed.
He has interviewed countless artists. Over the decades, Tetsuko's Room, although usually short for less than half an hour, is played five days a week. How many five days and ten years are there in a year? What about the decades from 1976 to now? How many more five thousand are there? Among the countless entertainers he interviewed, the only one he heard define the style of film and television dramas so accurately in one sentence was a foreigner.
A foreigner has defined his country's film and television drama culture so accurately. This young man is really amazing.
So curiosity prompted him to ask impatiently, where are the works of that dynasty? What is the style of Tianchao’s works? He said that in the eyes of others, we who are ordinary strive to become the shining one.
After hearing this, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko thought for a while, and suddenly said to Xu Qin in a very poor Chinese, Yuan Ai didn't even react to the words of your engagement post, but Xu Xin smiled and nodded. , that’s right.
Man can conquer nature, which is also one of the most important cores of our country’s cultural spirit.
Throughout the world, in the myths of various civilizations, there will always be stories about annoying gods coming to help them when they are in trouble.
But only in our story, the flood came, we controlled the water, there were ten suns in the sky, and we knocked down nine.
Of course, this topic is actually quite big to discuss. It can completely jump from the film level to the cultural level, and we may not be able to finish talking for days and nights. But based on my knowledge of film and television works from the three countries, this is my answer.
As Ai Kamimoto's translation was completed, including the translation of the meaning of man's victory over nature, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko rarely applauded during the program, and he led the audience to contribute their own applause.
First, I give it to the excellent and knowledgeable Chinese filmmaker in front of me. He is great and he deserves it.
Note that Director Zhang has not participated in this show, I made it up.
