Rebirth of India: Superior

"Nedvěd, you are talking about the young left winger from Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic." Jonard is indeed a professional in this field. Even a little-known 18-year-old boy can name him instantly. The team and position he is in, even Shakru, who considers himself a big fan of Nedved, can't remember which team he was in before he became famous.

What Shakru just said is not nonsense. He is really a fan of Nedved, but he started paying attention to Nedved after he succeeded Zidane and became the new core midfielder of Juventus. Although Nedved did not have as gorgeous footwork as Zidane, but his spirit of never admitting defeat and persisting to the end impressed everyone, at least at that time Shakru became a fan of him as a high school student, especially his blond hair that flutters in the wind when he runs at full speed. Sorry, I said a lot of digressions, but interested friends can really go and find out more about it. Devide, this is a star who is very admirable both on the court and in life, without any negative news.

Of course, these are all things for later. In fact, Nedved became famous in this European Cup, and it was also because of this that he transferred from the Czech League to Serie A, which was known as the "Little World Cup" at the time, so Shakru nodded. The head said: "Yes, that's him. If I go to England to watch a game this year, I will definitely be watching the Czech team with him on the field."

"Well, if Mr. Pandit can really come to the UK to watch the game, then our company will be responsible for all the tickets. And our company also has hotels. Although it is definitely not as unique as your Antarctic Hotel, we We will do our best to satisfy you. "This is purely Jonard's vote. It's a good thing. Since Pandit has made it clear that he will not delay his own business, he naturally has to give someone something in return. As for the hotel, Jonnard is actually being modest, because William Hill originally made its fortune in the hotel industry. , so it is absolutely impossible to be worse than the newly opened Antarctic restaurant in Shaklu.

Jhonard had just seen off satisfied and returned home. Rajkumar, who had been waiting for him for a long time, hurried over and said, "Boss, do you remember what you told me last year about wanting to film the Kama Sutra?" "?"

Shakru nodded and replied: "I remember, and I still remember that you rejected me on the spot, saying that you were not good at this type of film. Why have you changed your mind now?"

Rajkummar shook his head and said: "That's not true, because this kind of delicate romance or conspiracy films are not my specialty, and there are many physical temptations and hints in them, which I can't grasp. But I can recommend a master to you, she is definitely suitable for this film.”

"Oh, then why did you think of recommending it today? Why didn't you recommend it to me at this time last year?" Shaklu said with some dissatisfaction. The relationship between the two became a bit tense last year because Rajkumar insisted on making a mainstream Indian film but rejected Shakru's suggestion about the Kama Sutra.

"Didn't I just meet her? If I had known her last year, I would have recommended her to you long ago." Rajkumar replied a little aggrievedly. Since the documentary he made the year before last was a hit and won awards, he was a little bloated, so he began to continue filming a mainstream film despite Shakru's objections. As a result, he suffered a failure at the box office. Only then did he realize that the boss had a bright eye, and as long as he was old Just do your job as a director honestly and well.

"Oh, that's right, then who is this expert you recommended?" Shakru asked.

"I just met this expert at the Documentary Film Association meeting. She is the famous Mira Nair." Rajkumar replied confidently.

In his previous life, Shakru would definitely not have known who Mira Nair was, but now that he is half a filmmaker, he is naturally familiar with the name of this well-known documentary director.

Mira Nair is a rare Indian director who has made a name for herself in the United States. What is even more rare is that she is a female director. She received a scholarship from the University of New Delhi and then went to Harvard University in the United States for further studies. In 1988, she filmed the first film Bombay Hello, a feature film that propelled her to the international stage, won 25 international film festival awards including the "Camera d'Or" at Cannes that year, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. This began his rise to fame in documentary films.

In fact, this is why Shakru didn't know much about Indian movies in his previous life, otherwise he would have known that the Kama Sutra was originally written by this female director, and in 2001 she also had a low-cost film shot with a handheld camera. The movie Monsoon Love overwhelmingly won the Venice Golden Lion Award that year, and subsequently earned US$13 million at the box office in the United States, becoming one of the highest-grossing foreign language films in American history.

Since he didn't know about this, Shakru asked hesitantly: "This Mira Nair has always made documentaries. Is it okay to let her make such a feature film?"

“Ever since I finished filming the documentary Black Demon, I realized firsthand that this documentary is much more difficult to shoot than other types of films. Not only does it limit the content of the shooting, but because it is a documentary, there cannot be any artistic processing or fabricated content. , and it is difficult to create exciting moments to attract audiences, so anyone who can make documentaries well will have absolutely no problem making feature films.

In addition, according to your script, this Kama Sutra is a woman's drama. Naturally, this women's drama must be directed best by a female director. But look at the whole of India, how many female directors are there?

Moreover, Mira Nair has lived in the United States for many years. Her understanding of American pop culture is definitely much higher than that of domestic directors. Only in this way can we keep the American box office, so I think she is the most suitable director for this film. What is particularly rare is that when I mentioned this to her, she was actually very interested, so I came to tell you about this in a hurry. "Rakuma urged anxiously.

After listening to Rajkuma's persuasion, Shakru felt that it made sense. It was indeed difficult to find a director who could meet these requirements, and Mira Nair might be the most suitable one, so he said to Rajkuma: "Okay, then you contact this Mira Nair, find a time in the next two days, and I will talk to her about this matter." To be continued.
