Tokyo Reborn: Dark Superstar

Chapter 162 Can’t be summoned back

In 1993, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes International Film Festival in France, becoming the first Chinese film to win this honor.

In addition, the film also won many international awards such as the US Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the International Federation of Film Critics Award.

This is the only Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the same time.

In 1994, Leslie Cheung won the 4th China Film and Performing Arts Society Special Contribution Award for this film. The film was selected as one of the " Best Movies in Global History" by Time Magazine.

…………

When Lu Wei and Guo Shi were filming "Alive" together, the film won the Jury Prize, Best Actor Award and other awards at the 47th Cannes International Film Festival.

On the day after winning the award, the national teacher and Lu Wei reviewed the results all night, and found out where the filming was lacking...

After "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or in France, Lu Wei wanted to find Kaizi to maintain this positive and progressive state.

Kaizi's answer: "Luwei, maybe next time, I have an event later."

reed:"……"

Imperial Film Studio commissioned Wang Peigong to write "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", but Kaizi had been discussing and colliding with Wang Peigong from the beginning of the script creation, and never put himself in the position of a bystander.

Kaizi glanced at Luwei and frowned.

When it was time to film "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", Kaizi began to embark on the path of no return of writing his own scripts...

…………

Kaizi sent a car to pick up Luwei, a stretched Lincoln.

..............................

"Your English is very poor. You need to practice it when you go back."

…………

Wang Peigong is a very capable veteran screenwriter.

Kaizi's follower, knowing something in his heart, immediately opened his mouth and gave him a blow.

He has written the first mainland dynasty drama "Eastern Zhou Dynasty", "Dutiful Sons and Virtuous Grandsons" starring Chen Peishi and Zhao Lilong, Liu Xiaoqin's version of "Wu Zetian", and childhood shadow "Women Are No Longer Silent".

A critic from "Movie Review", the most authoritative professional film magazine in the United States, wrote:
"The success of "Farewell My Concubine" is entirely due to his own artistic judgment, and he has completed his self-deification..."

"Screenwriter Lu, our company is very formal and in line with major international film companies."

…………

"Mr. Chen has always emphasized that you should address your duties when working."

"On the set, you could call me Director Chen, but now you can call me Mr. Chen."

After returning to the imperial capital, Lu Wei approached Kaizi again to discuss the matter.

When Lu Wei met, he said enthusiastically: "Kaige, a creative review of Farewell My Concubine..."

The script author of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" is Wang Peigong.

"Don't mind if I didn't call you for this event."

Wang Peigong has also been working very hard to get closer to the script Kaizi hopes for again and again, so he has written fifteen drafts.

In the end, Kaizi moved from the position of director to the position of screenwriter, writing the script himself, and completed a completely new script in just over ten days.

…………

Director Chen also humbly showed the script to Lu Wei for appreciation. To be precise, he showed off.

"Lu Wei, what do you think of my script?"

After Lu Wei read the script, he felt that the plot was messy and the characters could not stand up. He asked Kaizi:
"Does it feel safe to use the commercial film investment of the three-nation joint venture to make an experimental, non-genre film?"

Kaizi was very unhappy and replied: "It's very practical."

A common exclamation from Hunan people came to Lu Wei's mind: "You can't bring him back." …………………………

Taito District, Tokyo, Ueno Business District Commercial Street, Torigoe Shrine Bubble Bath Shop.

Bunta Takakura and Yuki Inoseki of Japanese New Wave Film Company, cozy bubble bath.

The temperature of the water was just right, and countless bubbles floated around the two of them, giving them a dreamlike feeling. The bathroom was filled with the faint scent of lavender, making them feel more relaxed.

Part-time college students wearing JK uniforms are providing services.

The two enjoyed the process of the sewer pipe first softening, then hardening, then softening, and then hardening...

"My agent in the mainland called me and heard that Director Chen is outrageous?" Bunta Takakura asked as he felt the soft blue balls massaging his head.

While eating Kagoshima light steamed buns, Iseki Shin moved his hands up to the bottom of her skirt and sighed:
"The French have withdrawn their investment... I heard that Imperial Film Studio is not very optimistic about this project..."

"The management of our company is not willing to spend any more time with that director, so the senior management is looking for someone to share the investment."

Kaizi recently requested to be fully in line with international standards, requiring the crew to wear suits, all shooting terms to be in American English, and arranged for security personnel to conduct inspections.

This makes investors very unfavorable to Kaizi Mo's script.

Now, Kaizi is hysterical on the set again, making a fool of himself.

This caused the French to withdraw their capital and stop playing.

…………

They both opened up and took a bubble bath together.

Takakura Bunta didn't make any meanderings, he went straight to the point and got to the point.

The project "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" has a total investment of 7000 million. Currently, Japanese New Wave Film Company bears 30%, Imperial Film Studio bears 50%, and the French bear 20%.

Now that the French have withdrawn their investment, Takakura Bunta Studio is willing to assume a 20% share.

However, this share does not satisfy Takakura Bunta, because he wants to take the lead in this drama so as to ensure the quality of "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin".

If it weren't for the subject matter of this movie and his nationality in this life, Takakura Bunta even wanted to take this movie directly.

....................................

Bunta Takakura said: "My agent in the mainland has contacted Imperial Film Studio. I heard that Director Chen will come to your company for a meeting recently?"

Yuki Inoseki scratched his head: "It's not about money yet, we are prepared to refuse this meeting."

Bunta Takakura: "Why?"

Yuki Inoseki got up from the bubble bath and began to enter the "A Bite of Japan" session.

He applied lubricant and said with a gloomy look:

"When the great Cannes director called me, I told him that I could speak Chinese, but he insisted on communicating with me in English."

"He asked our company to provide a stretched Lincoln during the meeting in Tokyo, the hotel should have a view of Tokyo Tower, the room should be decorated in the Republic of China style, and he should go to a Michelin restaurant that hosted Song Meilin..."

Takakura Bunta smiled. In this dark star parallel plane, Kaizi's memory was completely consistent with his previous life.

One small meal, half of modern history.

The entire feudal history does not distinguish between China and the West.

…………

Takakura Bunta suddenly thought: "Is he the only one coming?"

Iguchi Yuki held down the part-time girl's head, shook it, and said in a trembling voice: "I heard that his wife is coming too..."

Bunta Takakura became interested and said: "I will pay for the entertainment expenses and let him come."
