1979 Golden Age

"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, which is the first position.

Tsui Hark waved to everyone, and there was another round of applause.

His stop was an incredible one. Hong Kong and Taiwan reporters were stunned, and then they all had different opinions: the Hong Kong leftists were excited, the centrists also found it 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 left-wing movie, come to a film festival, and openly stand in their ranks. Are you going to vote for the Communists?!!"

"Hey, art shouldn't cover 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 just a hipster!"

"Come on if you have the guts!"

"Come on!"

The left and right sides have always been on the same level, but in recent years it has been relatively good. In the past, we often had physical PKs, and the reporters were all good at fighting. The two quarreled and even got into a fight. The foreigners looked at this scene in confusion, and the host was also confused.

"Fortunately, my generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, have arrived together. With both of them here, why should we be afraid of the rightists?"

Chen Qi waved his hand: "Blast out!"

After all, this is an overseas public place, so 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’s too late for you to know your way back now!

If you persist in your stubbornness, I will definitely report it when I get back, and you will suffer the consequences! There is no place for you in the whole of Hong Kong, and that woman Shi Nansheng! You two just wait to beg for food! "

"..."

This sentence is still a deterrent. Tsui Hark pursed his lips tightly and struggled internally. He was impulsive and stood up. This will clear his mind, but he is even more reluctant to let him go.

A person cannot be forced 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 collect news. The battlefield is not here. You are not good at fighting. You can't win in a fight. Don't think about disturbing 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 considered 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 about it, and became more and more interested when they learned that it was a problem left over from history. Today's movie seems to be 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 wanted to answer in English, she had memorized the words in advance.

Her English is so-so. She dubbed "Orphan's Grudge" 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?"

"I was 14 years old. I took the photo last year."

"How do 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 and looked at Chen Qi naturally. 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 shouted.

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 medium for communication, and we use them to express various ideas. We can show a little girl seducing an adult in the movie to achieve the purpose of perfecting the plot.

But if during the filming, we let her experience how to seduce an adult directly, no director with a normal personality would do this, no producer with a normal personality would do this, and no actor with a normal personality would accept it.

Only people like you who do cheap things in the name of art and regard the sexiness and nudity of minors as avant-garde art would think this is great!"

"OH!"

The audience exclaimed in amazement. They have seen how Chinese people are restrained and careful at overseas film festivals, and have never seen such an outgoing one.

Some people also applauded. After all, the West has always been divided into left and right, but their left and right are different from ours.

Take the later generations as an example. Environmental protection, animal protection, and support for immigration are white leftists. Supporting LGBT to create more than 100 genders is called the left within the left. In contrast, insisting on Christian beliefs, opposing immigration, opposing abortion, etc., the man of destiny that American rednecks yearn for, Trump, is right.

When it comes to minors, some people support it, and some people oppose it.

The stupid reporter was scolded and seemed to be stunned, his face turned red and white. Qiu Shuzhen saw it and secretly clenched her fists: Sure enough, the master is right, we must be tough on foreigners.

The exchange continued.

Chen Qi let Tsui Hark take over the process. Tsui Hark recovered from his previous uneasiness and immersed himself in the joy of the success of the work. He talked about his filming process and ideas.

"Invasion is the essence of horror.

Whether it is a perverted killer, a ghost, a monster, or an alien, they all disrupt the original life of the protagonist as an invader. This is the truth of horror movies."
