Chapter 130 I and the author have a longer life
Although she won the Best Actress award abroad, which was the dream of countless artists at that time, Su Yun still did not receive any invitations after returning to Hong Kong due to the limited market in Taiwan.
She was happy with the peace and quiet. After battling with reporters who came to interview her for a few days, she went back to São Paulo to attend school with ease.
After all, news is constantly changing, and if you can't dig out much information from the slippery Su Yun, you naturally have to find it from other places.
Not to mention the distant past, the open and covert fights between the newly rising Jiayi and TBB, as well as the scramble for positions within TBB, are very topical.
Jiayi's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was a huge hit last year, and TBB immediately sent Huang Zhan to discuss the adaptation with Jin Daxia, and chose "The Book and the Sword" as the rival, and also ruthlessly put together the three most popular actresses in Taiwan at the time, Wang Ningquan, Li Siqi and Huang Yuyi, in one play, which was a hot topic both inside and outside the play. Last year, they managed to keep up with the news of the three most popular actresses fighting overtly and covertly, and their appearances were not in harmony, and they managed to keep up with the news for several months.
Especially Wang Ningquan, who is known as the "Ajie". She is a very sincere person. Once false news about her is written, she will definitely come out to argue with the media. This can go on for several days. It is like material that is delivered to her doorstep.
It's different for a kid like Su Yun. Relying on the time difference and long distance between China and foreign countries, he has never been afraid of them writing nonsense. Sometimes when the atmosphere is harmonious and easy to talk to, he will give them money to bribe them. Sometimes, if there are too many nonsense, a lawyer's letter will fly over, which is really a foreign approach.
This unpredictable mood, with a halo of halos surrounding him, makes those who wield pens really dare not act rashly.
Su Yun actually had no choice but to do this: the Hong Kong media was notoriously picky and daring to make up stories and write about them. They were not something that the inside entertainment industry of her time could silence. If it was really big news, no matter how much money she gave or how many connections she had, she could not stop the media from speaking out.
Simply trying to please them would only be seen as a sign of weakness, and fighting to the end would only lead to the loss of public opinion and publicity in Hong Kong. That's why Su Yun learned from the emperors of the past and adopted the approach of "all thunder and rain are grace from the emperor", restraining each other and then saving face.
The media makes a living from the news she creates, and she also accumulates qualifications by relying on the media to help promote her stories.
After the hype of that period had passed, Su Yun applied to São Paulo in advance to take the final exam designed specifically for her. Then, on the scorching days of June, she flew to Japan with her suitcase and bags.
In fact, the high school final exam was not a big deal for her, it was just a formality - her test paper was even based on the knowledge scope of last year's final exam paper, in order to help her test her level for skipping grades and entering university.
The reason why she flew to Japan so quickly was because she was invited by Nintendo to produce the first animated CG of the "Resident Evil" game series.
That’s right, after Su Yun handed in a very complete plan and continued research and development for nearly half a year after the release of "Sweet Home", the first horror masterpiece "Resident Evil" will be released in this world at the end of the year.
Although the game graphics are not very detailed because the game carrier is a red and white console, the animation CG can be produced into exquisite and realistic CG animation under the training of Su Yun at Industrial Light and Magic.
Recalling that in the original version, the game company hired several overseas students to shoot real-life CG in the surrounding ditches and grass, and that CG obviously had crude props and mediocre acting...Su Yun shook her head and sped up the rendering progress.
This is not just for the sake of making money. In addition to being used in the game to trigger the plot, she will also use these related animated CGs as video material for applying to St. Clair University.
She applied for the major of Computer Science and Engineering. If she attached more video materials she made, plus her reputation among people in the industry in the United States, it would be a big "plus point" advantage.
It's a pity that the system's super rendering speed cannot be exposed, otherwise she wouldn't have to come to Japan in advance and lock herself in a small dark room to pretend to do CG.
However, there was nothing that could be done: the rendering speed of conventional commercial computers in this era was too slow. It would take at least a year and a half to produce CG of this quality, so the original idea was to choose real-life CG shooting, which was cheap, affordable and fast.
Now with Su Yun's black technology system, it can actually be completed in one day, but we have to take into account the technological level of this era and pretend that it will take two or three months to render.
Su Yun sat in the small dark room, boredly pressing the mobile phone she brought with her - although this thing was not much different in size from a brick and had only one function, making phone calls, it was already the highest level of civilian mobile communications in the current era.
The mobile phone model of Big Brother was produced in the United States in 1974, but the technology in the first few years was not very good, and the related telephone network could only be set up in certain areas. It was far less stable and convenient than a landline phone. Su Yun, who had seen smart phones, thought they were expensive, heavy and had few functions, so she did not get one.
Of course, things are different now: After the Federal Communications Commission determined the frequency spectrum for large-capacity cellular phones in 1975, North America began preparing for the commercial use of cellular phones, which were once a rare luxury.
Japan, which followed closely in the footsteps of the United States, received this signal and began to build cellular phone networks in its own country. The first to be built were big cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. With good network signals, Su Yun took the opportunity to spend money to customize a mobile phone when she went to the United States.
Even though it can only be used in parts of the United States and some large cities in Japan, and this thing is not much lighter than a brick, when the signal is poor you may have to climb trees and walls to find a signal, just like you used to do with those "xiaolingtong" phones that were always out of service at critical moments... But at least there is a means of mobile communication, and it is much more convenient when you need to make an emergency call.
After playing with her mobile phone, Su Yun picked up the latest issue of "The Thousand Faces Girl" and watched it with relish.
This story is extremely exciting and touching. Apart from the unbearable update speed, there are really no other shortcomings.
And in terms of the subject matter, it is particularly suitable for filming a drama...filming a drama?!
"The Girl with a Thousand Faces" has not only been animated, but also adapted into a live-action drama!
By the way, it’s just difficult for her to shoot movies now, but TV dramas are basically not restricted by the ban!
Although the movies she starred in could not enter the theaters in Taiwan, and Taiwan controlled the Southeast Asian market and affected the release of movies, so no one dared to try to find her to act in movies; but TV series, on the other hand, are inextricably linked to the film industry, but with clear differences: the investment is relatively small, the requirements are not high, the shooting time is short, and she can still appear in front of the screen, but the carrier is changed...
The most important thing is that unlike movies, TV series do not need to be reviewed and approved by people in Taiwan before they can be released, nor do they have to worry about being leaked by pirated videotapes and causing dismal box office figures. After filming, all she needs to do is find a cooperating TV station to release it, and as long as the TVs in the corresponding areas can receive this station, her drama can appear on the screen!
Nowadays people think that free TV dramas are inferior, but in fact, the ones who can really make money and gain popularity are the artists who have played classic roles in TV dramas.
Free only means that the TV series are free. The commercial value after the related peripheral industries and the surge in popularity are the way for TV series to make money and create stars.
For example, in her memory, TBB's sister Wang Ningquan was banned from entering Taiwan just like her because she was born in the inland area during her childhood and was unwilling to write a confession to distance herself from the past when the movie she starred in was released in Taiwan. Her film career ended from then on.
Although his film career encountered obstacles, Wang Ningquan found another way out and went to television. In 1989, he co-starred with Zheng Zhaoqiu and Zhao Xiashi in the TV series "Chu Liuxiang", which caused a huge sensation in Taiwan. The ratings reached an astonishing 70%, creating a craze that swept across Taiwan, and Wang Ningquan was very proud of it.
Su Yun immediately had the idea of adapting "The Girl with a Thousand Faces" into a TV series.
After deciding on a plan for the next few months, Su Yun hurriedly approached the editorial department of "Hana to Yume" magazine through Nintendo, and successfully obtained the address of the author Miuchi Suzue.
The moment she got the address, Su Yun almost burst into tears: Half a century! She has been chasing this pit for almost half a century!
Until her last moment in this world, this century-long plot that has been serialized since 1976 has not yet been resolved!
With the idea that she and the author would outlive each other, Su Yun, with a spirit that spanned half a century, pressed the doorbell of the house of Miuchi Suzue, the author of The Thousand Faces of the Girl.
After successfully obtaining the adaptation rights from Miuchi Suzue, Su Yun began to think about the cast list.
Although she could also play the leading female role, Kitajima Maya, Su Yun looked around and felt that she was more suitable for the second female role, Himekawa Ayumi.
In fact, with her current status, it is not easy for her to switch to acting in TV dramas directly, but she can find an opportunity by playing the second female lead as a "guest star".
But if she plays the second female role, where can we find a young actress who can play the leading role on the same stage with her?
After returning to Nintendo headquarters, Su Yun held the book in her hands and recalled the few names of Showa female stars she knew, feeling upset.
I was thinking with my head down and not looking at the road, and suddenly I bumped into someone.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The girl’s original voice was a little low, but the rapid and sharp tone clearly showed her nervousness and panic, so Su Yun waved her hand quickly, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I was just thinking about something and didn’t pay attention to the road…”
He helped pick up the scattered change on the ground and stuffed it into the girl's hand. With a surprised glance, Su Yun felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
"Who is that?" Looking at the girl's back, Su Yun pulled over a passing employee.
"She's from the Nakamori family ramen shop, right? She often delivers takeout for her family." The employee took a closer look and explained to Su Yun, "Their ramen tastes good and is affordable, so many of us would order ramen takeout together. But you were working in the office before, so you never met her..."
