Chapter 348: Capture and Release
Means such as jammers and jammer programs were just a short-lived surprise in Sunyun's long history of struggle with the big names of square dance.
There is no way. With the rapid development of the motherland, many high-tech products of the past have gradually come down from the altar and are now available in thousands of households. Even if Su Yun used such interference to trick them into breaking one or two machines, in the blink of an eye, the rich men and women came back with new machines from Taobao, Taobao, and major electronic stores...
Of course, every man has his own way. Su Yun, an intellectual of the new era, would not degenerate into the state of some helpless and intolerable victims, throwing money and waste into a fight with the square dance masters and ladies - from upgrading jammers to seize the Bluetooth control of speakers to play horror movie sound effects, to joining the community to raise funds to purchase tweeters to counter noise, to finally using active directional ultrasonic acoustic technology for upgrading and transformation to control the noise within a specific range... this long struggle has finally come to a temporary halt.
Compared with later generations with advanced technology, economy and industry, in this era where a radio is a treasure, Su Yun does not need to use the supplementary means mentioned later and can directly destroy the machine - it is very difficult for this group of self-proclaimed fashion trendsetters to come up with another radio now.
The twists and turns involved certainly made it impossible for Zha Lan to see the truth due to the gap in time and technology. Therefore, after pondering for a long time, he gave a meaningful reply to Su Yun's outrageous operation: "It's really amazing."
As for the "awesome" he referred to, whether he was referring to Su Yun or the Creator No. 1 in Su Yun's hand, it is unknown.
However, Su Yun usually understood the meaning of "it's rare to be confused", so he did not continue to dwell on it, but turned his attention to the southeast.
Take a look at the team carrying all kinds of stuff, then look at the several actors who have already finished their makeup and are walking in front of the team, and finally look at a dark-skinned middle-aged man on the side of the team - yes, Li Xuexiang has a nickname called "Li Hei".
And he has a face that is... well, how should I put it, it can't be said to be very hateful, but it is definitely a very distinctive and memorable villain face.
Zha Lan frowned and looked at where Su Yun's eyes were. Seeing that she was staring at a fat middle-aged man who looked dark, old and ugly to him, he suddenly felt a little unbalanced: "I'm standing next to you, and you're not looking at me but at him?!"
"You've seen it too many times. Let's try a different taste." Su Yun said to him casually, and then, completely ignoring Zha Lan's angry look, she took the initiative to walk towards Li Xuexiang.
At this time, Li Xuexiang had the rare opportunity to see the group of fashion trendsetters who had occupied the open space disbanding in disgrace, carrying their suddenly broken radios. He immediately seized the opportunity, raised the director's loudspeaker, and called on the actors and staff to take their positions, ready to start filming.
"You are the one who caused the situation here, right?" Li Xuexiang asked before Su Yun could walk over to introduce herself.
"How do you know...Oh, you left someone here?" Su Yun subconsciously wanted to ask back, but he quickly came to his senses halfway through his words.
"I didn't keep anyone here. Even the shop owners there were willing to chat with me. I asked them to keep an eye on things. As soon as the dancers left, I brought my team here to film." Li Xuexiang finished explaining, and then his triangular eyes turned to look at Su Yun again, "You don't look like a mainlander, are you..."
"Hello, Director Li Xuexiang, my name is Su Yun, and I am the current special production consultant and general manager of the Zhao Film Production Department." Su Yun greeted him in a friendly manner, and then stated the purpose of his visit directly after introducing himself, "I want to find you to go back to Zhao Film to film."
While saying this, Su Yun finally took off the big sunglasses on his face, revealing his iconic features and eye color.
After Li Xuexiang saw Su Yun's expression clearly, he sighed with a complicated look on his face, and then waved his hand at her: "Let's talk later. I'll finish shooting this scene first."
Seeing that he was really busy taking pictures instead of just giving her a perfunctory response, Su Yun responded softly and quietly retreated to a quiet corner.
Before she knew it, Zha Lan grabbed her as she was retreating and asked with a look of understanding, "Is this person very capable? Does he need you to come over and invite him in person?"
"Director Li is indeed a very talented person." Su Yun nodded, and then she visibly saw Zha Lan's previous anger and resentment gradually disappear.
Although Zha Lan always uses the phrases "judging people by appearance" and "using beauty to commit crimes" in his words and deeds, when it comes to choosing between appearance and connotation, he always respects people with talent and connotation more.
Hearing that Su Yun had ignored him before because she wanted to recruit talents, Zha Lan's anger subsided by half, and he casually added: "Do you want help?"
"I think... you probably can't help much." Su Yun thought about it, and had to briefly mention to Zha Lan her idea of forming a filming crew for "Batman" and "Grave Robber 2". "The main reason I hired Director Li was for you."
"But I don't really like acting in this kind of Hollywood-style commercial films. They don't suit me." Although Su Yun's rare expression of attention made Zha Lan, who likes to be flattered and pampered, feel a little happy, Zha Lan is also a person with a certain vision and some self-knowledge. She knows that it is difficult for a European actor like herself to blend in with Hollywood blockbusters.
Moreover, his recent direction has been towards art films, especially "Our Story" which was released in May this year, which is likely to allow him to compete for the Best Actor Award at the 10th César Awards.
The César Awards are known as the "French Oscars" in France, and it has been seven years since he was nominated for Best Actor in 1977.
What he lacks now is not popularity or money, but an award that can recognize his efforts.
"I can see that you have worked very hard these years." Su Yun patted him on the shoulder: From his unstable acting skills that relied on "editing" from time to time to his current professionalism in art films and dramas, it is hard not to say that once this guy makes up his mind to be a bit tough on himself, it can be said that hard work can make up for lack of talent.
"However, for people like us, popularity and money are never too much - don't you think?" Su Yun changed the subject.
"For your sake, I'll consider it." Zha Lan replied to Su Yun politely, then turned around and discussed the next round of travel routes with the translator.
Su Yun rolled her eyes at him: It was obvious that he was just trying to please her!
Unfortunately, now is not the time when comic-based movies will be popular as they will be in the future - even at that time, there are still many actors who don't want to play this kind of role that relies heavily on IP traffic. If they play it well, they won't make any progress, but if they fail, they will get into a lot of trouble.
But apart from Zha Lan, where can she find another Bruce baby who is so compatible with her?
In order to suit Jared's age, she even modified the beginning of the script a lot. Instead of directly starting with the birth of Batman, she continued along the plot of the TV series of that year and filmed the return of Batman.
The interesting thing is that Su Yun got inspiration for the answer to her confusion from Li Xuexiang.
After Li Xuexiang finished filming today's task, he took the initiative to invite Su Yun to a nearby restaurant for a detailed discussion, so Su Yun was of course happy to attend the dinner.
While eating and drinking, I heard Li Xuexiang say that he first spotted me in the crowd and wanted to discover new spiritualists... Su Yun immediately laughed: "I'm not new. Strictly speaking, I'm from the 70s."
"Of course I know. When your film "The Perfect Match" came out, I was still filming for Zhao's company." Li Xuexiang was very generous and open-minded. After talking with Su Yunchang about the past, he said, "In principle, I still belong to Zhao's company now, but... do you dare to use me?"
"Why don't you dare use it?" Su Yun asked back directly.
"Hahaha, you're brave - but unfortunately, even if you dare to hire me, I may not be willing to work for you!" Li Xuexiang laughed and shook his head, "Jiawei should have told you about me. The kind of film I want to shoot is an adaptation of historical themes, such as "My First Half of Life" and "Tea House"..."
"As for those erotic films I shot at Zhao's... they were all just tools for me to make money."
As the first non-leftist director from Hong Kong who dared to return to China to shoot movies, the political pressure that Li Xuexiang had to endure was naturally more heavy than most people could imagine.
But no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he eventually returned to his haunted homeland of China and went to the Forbidden City to pursue his dream of making a movie that was steeped in historical memories.
Liang Jiawei was banned in Taiwan simply for starring in "The Last Emperor". There is no doubt that Li Xuexiang, who had endured for many years and had barely managed to avoid the limelight, must have been banned again because of his several Qing Dynasty-themed films shot in mainland China.
Just now he asked Su Yun "Do you dare to use it?" What he meant was that not only could he not bring the Taiwanese market, but he would also be likely to be targeted by people in Taiwan who care about him, which would then affect the market in Southeast Asia.
However, Li Xuexiang is also familiar with Su Yun, who has been very popular in recent years, so he knows that Su Yun really doesn't care about her attitude towards Taiwan.
"In addition to filming commercial films, I'm looking for your help in making a series of three historical films." Su Yun tapped the table lightly, "And I can guarantee that the investment amounts for these films will definitely not be small."
It is said that Li Xuexiang is a person who likes classical culture very much in real life. In order to understand his situation accurately, Su Yun went to the video store in Chinatown before coming and bought some of his costume movie videotapes to watch carefully.
As for why he didn't let his eldest or second brother go directly to the Zhao film library to match a higher-definition and more complete source of films to send to her, the reason was simple: most of the "costume films" shot by Li Xuexiang were erotic films with a bit of color...
Although everyone has their own opinions, but considering the way the two brothers had protected their child before, Su Yun couldn't let them get angry about this anymore, so he could only pay for it himself.
After watching the film, I have to say that Li Xuexiang is truly one of the three great directors who made his name with erotic films. He has a good plot and ideas, and the lighting, shadows, camera movements and other things that ordinary people wouldn't notice made Su Yun, who saw through the trick, exclaim again and again.
In Li Xuexiang's costume films, the hazy artistic conception created through the reproduction of old scenes, the costumes of the characters in the films, the sets in every place, and the various props, all of them are to the extent that insiders in the industry applaud.
The title is "Romance between Men and Women", but it actually describes "the customs of the world".
Li Xuexiang's profound cultural background and meticulous production mentality can make up for her shortcomings of having creativity but lacking details.
In Su Yun's future plan, both of the people he met in the capital this time must be captured.
