"This is our director. He was sitting at the back just now. He wanted to feel everyone's reaction firsthand..."
Everyone turned around and looked at Tsui Hark with friendly eyes as he walked over and joined the team. Chen Qi pulled him and asked him to stand on his left, that is, in the first position.
Tsui Hark waved to everyone, and there was another round of applause.
His stop was so extraordinary that Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters were dumbfounded, and then they all had different opinions: the Hong Kong leftists were very excited, the centrists also found it very exciting, but the rightists and Taiwanese were furious.
"Director Xu, what are you doing?"
The guy spoke up on the spot and asked loudly: "You make a leftist movie, come to a film festival, and openly stand in their ranks. Are you going to vote for the Communists?!!"
"Hey, art shouldn't involve politics!"
A reporter from "Wen Wei Po" retorted: "Director Xu is free to decide which side he takes. Who are you to make irresponsible remarks?"
"What the hell is wrong with you?" the other party scolded him directly.
"Then what does it have to do with you? You're a bitch!"
"Come on if you have the guts!"
"Come on!"
The two sides have always been on the same level, but in recent years they have been doing well. They used to have physical PKs, and the reporters were all good at fighting. The two quarreled, and even got into a fight. Foreigners looked at this scene in confusion.
The host was also confused.
"Fortunately, my generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, are both here. With both of them here, why should we be afraid of the rightists?"
Chen Qi waved his hand: "Get out!"
After all, this is an overseas public place, and it is not easy to cause too much embarrassment. Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng held each other up from both sides. They did not know what means they used. The man could not move his hands and feet and had to be dragged out, but he could still open his mouth.
Open and shout at Tsui Hark:
"Director Xu! Let me remind you, you won the Golden Horse Award, is this how you repay it?
You have to think about it, it is too late for you to know your way back now!
If you persist in your stubbornness, I will definitely report it when I go back, and you will suffer the consequences! There is no place for you in the whole of Hong Kong, and there is that woman Shi Nansheng! You two just wait to beg for food!"
"..."
This sentence was still a deterrent. Tsui Hark pursed his lips tightly and struggled in his heart. He was impulsive and stood up. This would clear his mind, but he was even more reluctant to let him go.
You cannot force a person to have a political stance or even a belief. Many people who have been educated in this way since childhood may not be firm, so those pioneers are respected.
Chen Qi did not force Tsui Hark to do anything. It was already good for him to stand up today. He patted Tsui Hark on the back, ignored the reporter who was dragged out, and said directly to the rightists in the audience:
"Don't cause trouble and gather news. The battlefield is not here. You are not good at fighting and can't win in a fight. Don't think about disrupting the press conference. It will make us more famous. This is France. What is lost is your little Chiang Kai-shek."
Face!"
The second half of the sentence worked.
Right-wing media people thought the same thing. Anyway, one of them was dragged out, which was regarded as a sign of loyalty. The task of the remaining people was to write articles and submit them to superiors for processing.
The foreigners watched a little farce, asked each other, and became more and more interested when they learned that it was a problem left over from history. Today's movie seems to have been shrouded in strong political elements from the beginning.
The host breathed a sigh of relief and finally entered the stage.
The main creators sat down on the stage, and the exchange began. A reporter from "Wen Wei Po" asked the first question and threw it to Qiu Shuzhen, saying: "Your performance in the film is very outstanding. How did you understand the role of Esther?"
?”
This is arranged.
Because Qiu Shuzhen had to answer in English, she had memorized the words in advance.
Her English is average. She dubbed "Orphan's Revenge" by herself in the later stage. She learned every sentence and the effect was not very good, but it was still the original voice and was not dubbed by others, otherwise she would not be able to participate in the competition.
This has to be mentioned again in "Farewell My Concubine". Most of Leslie Cheung's lines were dubbed by Yang Lixin. In order to participate in the competition, Yang Lixin's name was erased and pretended to be the original voice.
Qiu Shuzhen, wearing a little red dress, showed a sweet smile and said: "Actually, I don't know that this is a scary movie at all. They told me that this is a family movie that shows the breakdown of family ties.
I didn’t know Esther was an adult. I played it as a child. She was adopted, bullied at school, ostracized by her original children, disliked by her adoptive mother, and finally given up by her adoptive father. I always
I feel so pitiful about her..."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, and it is a common practice in all countries to prevent minors from being exposed to the truth about movies.
Then a foreign reporter asked, "This was not planned. How old are you this year?"
"14 years old, I took the photo last year."
"How did you understand the scene where you seduced your adoptive father? I mean, you were very sexy in it. If you don't know the real plot, it would be difficult to make that gesture."
"Well……"
Qiu Shuzhen didn't know it anymore, so she naturally looked at Chen Qi. Chen Qi picked up the microphone and said, "We didn't tell her the real content. We just demonstrated it to her a few times and asked her to do it. She doesn't need to know why."
"Don't you think this is unfair to her? She was 13 years old when the film was filmed and is no longer a child actor. You are erasing her most basic respect for the film. This is deceiving art!"
The reporter said loudly.
Where did this idiot come from??
Chen Qi took a look at the opponent's job card. It was from France. Sure enough, after de Gaulle's death, they were all a bunch of losers.
"Movies are a communication medium that we use to express various ideas. We can show a little girl's seduction of adults in the movie to complete the plot.
But if during filming, she was directly asked to experience how to seduce an adult, no director with a normal personality would do it, no producer with a normal personality would do it, and no actor with a normal personality would accept it.
Only those despicable bullshit like you who do what you do in the name of art and treat the sexiness and nudity of minors as avant-garde art would think this is great!"
"OH!"
Everyone in the audience exclaimed that they had always seen Chinese people being so reserved and careful at overseas film festivals, but they had never seen anything so outgoing.
Some people clapped their hands and applauded. After all, the West has always been divided into left and right, but their left and right are different from ours.
Take future generations as an example, environmental protection, animal welfare, support for immigration, that is the white left, support for LGBT and the creation of more than a hundred genders, that is called the left within the left. On the contrary, adhere to the Christian faith, oppose immigration, oppose abortion, etc.
Wait, the destined man Chuan Bao that American rednecks yearn for is the right one.
When you talk about minors, some people support it, and some people naturally oppose it.
The stupid reporter seemed to be stunned after being sprayed, and his face turned red and white. Qiu Shuzhen saw this and secretly clenched her fists: Sure enough, the master is right, we must be tough on foreigners.
The exchange continues.
Chen Qi left the process to Tsui Hark. Tsui Hark recovered from the uneasiness just now, immersed in the joy of the success of the work, and talked about his shooting process and ideas.
"Invasion is the essence of terror.
Whether it’s a perverted murderer, a ghost, a monster, or an alien, they all serve as an intruder and disrupt the protagonist’s original life. This is the truth of horror movies.”
