Chapter 206 People, have fun.

Chapter 206 People, have fun.

These two are a strange pair.

As the most famous film master in contemporary Britain, James McCullough became famous very early, and in his early years, he has always been a recognized "prodigal son".

I won't talk about other bad things, anyway, in the British literary and art circle, there are many, the key is that this guy is still romantic, he has even been sued by the girl's parents three times for living with an underage girlfriend, and he is still squatting for it. Been to prison once. It is said that most of the time, he fell in love with three women at the same time, and it was public, but it was so violent that no woman was willing to give up him. , Fiddled with a movie and came out, and won the Cannes Film Festival award.

Then, he met his current wife by the way.

At that time, she was also called Helena Hurley.

When she was fifteen years old, she was discovered by James McCullough, who was drunk in Paris at the time, and this guy thought, "Fuck, it's so beautiful, this girl needs to sleep. Of course, you The mental activity at this moment can be understood as: the spark of love appeared!

Then, he made a movie for the girl.

He won his first Cannes Palme d'Or, and he has completely achieved the reputation of his own film art master in Europe and the world. Helena Hurley won the first Cannes actress in her life—— Works between the ages of fifteen and sixteen, and actresses who are only sixteen years old.

The French rose became famous in one fell swoop. In the following two decades, generations of French actresses have been able to surpass her lifelong goal - the title of the new French rose, which has been given to countless people by the media and many French lovers. But the only "French Rose" has always been her.

But at this time, the movie was over, and the little girlfriend was having a good time. It happened that the three women in the UK were very angry and announced that they would cut off contact with James McCullough. Now he was relieved, OK, and returned to China.

There is no trouble in the country!

However, Helena caught up with England.

She loves him.

French Rose, who was only 16 years old at the time, chased after James McCullough and stayed with James McCullough for more than a year. She was so angry that her parents announced that they would cut off the relationship with her, and they scolded James McCullough in the newspaper. Shameless, and then, at seventeen, Helena proposed to James McCullough.

It scared the **** out of James.

But this time, he didn't run away.

Helena is beautiful and smart is only one of the reasons, the key is that she is very loose to James, and even James often changes girlfriends and does not object to bringing women home, except for going out to pick up one or two movies every year to earn money , came back like a servant, doing laundry and cooking for James.

For two or three years, James McCullough couldn't take it anymore.

Such a girl can't stand it alone!

At that time, James McCullough was in his thirties, a typical old-fashioned prodigal in the British literary and art circle, and Helena Hurley was famous all over the world. From the age of sixteen, she was the French Rose, the "movie" of the whole world. Lover"-because of this back chase, except for the British, the media in all of Europe at that time, as long as Helena was mentioned, criticized and ridiculed James McCullough all over the face.

Then, as she got older, Helena became more and more beautiful and moving. Every move she made, she had the charm of stunning the whole world, and she also made extraordinary achievements in film performances. At the age of thirteen, she won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival.

At this time, the great success of the previous ten years and the slump in his private life have made James McCullough feel a little late, and he even began to drink heavily.

Later, in an interview, both of them admitted that James McCullough even hit Helena twice for a period of time. Of course, if a slap in the face, he would immediately regret and apologize.

Finally, under increasing pressure, James McCullough was once again drunk and blocked by the British paparazzi. He scolded Helena in a cathartic manner and asked her to get out of her life as soon as possible!

This scolding caused an uproar.

However, when the media reporter found Helena, who was filming in Italy at the time, Helena smiled and said, "Is he drinking too much? He always likes to drink, but I love him."

Well, the whole world admits that this is definitely true love!

And James McCullough, who was in his early forties at the time, seemed to have a sudden epiphany. At that time, he officially proposed to Helena, and the two soon officially registered their marriage-since then, James McCullough, the prodigal son , was successfully locked into the cage by the French Rose.

It took eleven years for the two to meet, live together, and finally get married.

Finally got it right.

James McCullough didn't know if he really had an epiphany, or if he had had enough fun, and he did pull back from the precipice, and there was no more lace news one after another, and one hundred girlfriends a year.

And after getting married, James McCullough not only recuperated, but after a short adjustment, he quickly regained his strength. In just two years, he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for the second time in history. , and at the same time sent Helena to the throne of the actress for the second time.

So far, the two of them have completely become a legend.

This time, Li Qian came to the UK during the Cannes Film Festival, mainly at the invitation of James McCullough, to come to his cottage in the Lake District for a vacation.

Well, the French Rose is worthy of the French Rose, and the real person is not weaker than the movie.

Moreover, the key point is that she is in her forties!

James McCullough walked over excitedly, opened his arms while saying hello, and gave Li Qian a big hug-according to public information, he should be sixty years old this year, tall, but People have become seriously fat.

When he let go, Li Qian smiled and nodded to Helena Hurley McCullough, then gave the French red wine in the wooden box in his hand, and said at the same time: "Madam, you are more charming than in the movie. "

Helena happily accepted the gift and thanked Li Qian with a smile.

This is a house that looks old, some parts new and some old.

James took Li Qian for a brief tour, and then muttered, "The beauty here has been destroyed, and Helena and the others insisted on renovating it."

Before he could finish speaking, a cigar was thrown over.

So the two of them swallowed the clouds, Helena brought a pot of black tea, and then sat next to James, chatting with them - she was like a cloud, and from Li Qian's point of view, it was looming.

Of course, although she seldom interjects, Li Qian can feel that when she speaks occasionally, this French Rose still has some insight into the movie.

Both raved about "Red Sorghum."

But then, James McCullough bluntly criticized "Once Upon a Time", "My daughter helped me buy a DVD, which is an oriental movie that is more popular among young people in the UK, but when I read it, and I can hardly believe it's your work! Hm, trust me, that sucks! Just like the businessmen in Hollywood keep asking me to- 'Oh my God, Jamie, we You need the box office, you have to get more people to like your work, you have to add some commercial, more storytelling elements into it! Your movies can't always be made for a few people!' - Fake! They I don't understand movies!"

What Li Qian could say, he could only laugh.

When it comes to playing movies, James McCullough is definitely a genius, and since the 1960s and 1970s, his art films have become very popular in Europe, and a wave of Hollywood producers have come over, hoping to invite him He went to Hollywood to direct, but after two experiences that resulted in the project being aborted due to huge differences in the concept of directing, James McCullough completely rejected Hollywood.

It's not that he doesn't want to make money, but he prefers to stick to his ideas.

For such a person, especially the great achievements he has made on the path he loves, all Li Qian can give is admiration.

However, cannot agree.

Of course, Li Qian came from afar, not to quarrel with the old guy.

First, he didn't want to stay in Cannes, making noises all day long, and at the same time, he wanted to meet the crew of "Unfinished Love", and secondly, he really wanted to ask James McCullough some questions.

Although "Red Sorghum" has achieved great achievements that are praised by the world, whether it is word of mouth, awards, or box office, but Li Qian does not think that he is already incomparably awesome.

He knew that he was just standing on the shoulders of the previous work.

And James McCullough became famous at a young age. It has been more than 30 years since the first film was a great success. During this period, he won the Palme d'Or in Cannes twice, the Silver Bear in Berlin once, and the Golden Lion in Venice once. The iconic figure of today's European art film - if you say a master, this is the real master.

It can be said that now he looks at the world and is a master of the top art films. In front of him, Qin Wei, who has only won the Venice Golden Lion Award once, is far behind in terms of achievements, fame and status.

And talking with him on the knees did make Li Qian consciously gain a lot.

This is the Lake District of the United Kingdom. Its geographical location is quite north, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Even if it is summer, once it reaches four or five in the afternoon, the temperature will start to drop rapidly.

Evening, sunset evening.

With a pipe in his mouth and a cigar in his hand, Li Qian walked along a path, chatting while walking. With some regret and some anger, he talked about the experience of trying to cooperate with Hollywood studios when he was young but ultimately failing - in fact, he is not unwilling to make popular movies, and his works are not all those that make ordinary people. The audience can't understand the obscure so-called art films, but he also never agrees with the logic of "popular films are commercial films".

In this regard, Li Qian strongly agrees.

He told the old man that "Red Sorghum" was shown in China, and now the box office has exceeded 280 million US dollars - "Red Sorghum" is obviously not a commercial movie, but it is definitely a popular movie.

The old man looked envious.

He was also very popular in the early years, which was the golden age of European art films, but over the past 30 years, with nearly 30 works together, the total box office of his personal directed works is less than 300 million US dollars.

A "Red Sorghum", Li Qian achieved.

While walking and chatting, Li Qian said, hoping to get his authorization to let his company in China be responsible for the distribution and sales of DVDs and videotapes in China for James McCullough's films over the past few years, and He hopes that when the time is right, he can hold a special film week for James McCullough in China-at that time, all the works of the old man from his life to the present will be taken out, and the ticket sales will be concentrated, and the old man will be invited. When the time comes, talk to Chinese filmmakers about artistic creation.

The old man was very happy and agreed immediately.

And he is also very happy to say that although many of the copyrights of his works in the past years are in the hands of some British film companies, he can let his agent be responsible for assisting Li Qian in negotiating, so as to help Li Qian obtain. DVD distribution rights in China.

The Lake District is beautiful in summer.

The cigars in the old man's hands are of good quality.

It is even more wonderful to get the personal authorization of James McCullough, and to obtain the DVD distribution rights of nearly 30 works directed by him in China in the future.

I went out for a walk, especially when I stood by the lake for a while, and I was covered in water vapor, which made it cool at night. When I came back, the hostess Helena had already prepared dinner.

The wine was opened, and the three chatted while eating.

In fact, the McCulloughs have properties in many parts of the UK - James McCullough may not be very good at doing these things or running a business, but Helena is not only beautiful and acting, she is also special Good at taking care of two people's industries.

So much so that, before he met Helena, although James' film production was not low, and in that year, while holding the award, the box office income was quite considerable, but he never cared about how much money he had. Just spend the money wherever you want.

A genius, never thought that he would have a day when he was short of money.

But since Helena, the old man's economic power has been confiscated. He complained a few years ago, but the more he goes on, the more he has nothing to say.

Today, they have two large houses in London, a villa in Nottingham, a large winery in the south of France, and even in London and Paris, they have opened several high-end restaurants that use the portraits of the two of them. Dining room.

However, James McCullough still likes the old mansion he bought in the Lake District the most.

Especially in recent years, according to himself, the older he is, the more he likes to live here, so as long as the weather is right, he will come and live for a few months - Helena has not complained at all, old man. If she wanted to live there, she ran there. Despite the various living conditions of the cottages here, it is certainly not comparable to their mansions in London and Edinburgh.

This feeling is somewhat similar to Wang Jinglu and the others pampering Li Qian.

Li Qian can do whatever they want. They never have any opinions. They support it from beginning to end, and they do it by themselves.

After dinner, the temperature in the Lake District of England in late May was as low as ten degrees.

Fortunately, Li Qian prepared in advance. Fortunately, this old house has been repaired and maintained to a certain extent in the past few years, so it feels good to put on a coat and visit his workshop with the old man.

The so-called workshop is the place where the old man makes his own pipe.

There were piles all over the ground and boxes filled with various kinds of briar roots bought by the old man, in all shapes and sizes. On the long rough wooden workbench, there are many semi-finished products.

The old man asked Li Qian if he had ever made a pipe, and Li Qian shook his head.

Cao Zhan has this hobby. He likes to buy and collect some famous or unknown works, collect them, and use them. But at the same time, when he was not so busy in the past few years, he would make dozens of them in a year. Some will be given away, and some will be kept for yourself.

Li Qian had several pipes in his hand, all of which were given by Cao Zhan.

But Li Qian is usually too busy, so smoking a cigar is okay. Sitting there and enjoying a pipe slowly seems to be a little more extravagant.

Therefore, he smoked very little.

Only occasionally did Cao Zhan come over to sit and talk about things before he remembered and followed suit.

Speaking of these situations, the old man was extremely dissatisfied, "How can a person not make his own pipe? Qian, you should learn to make your own pipe, trust me, it's a lot of fun!"

Li Qian shrugged.

Then, the old man took Li Qian into a room next to the workshop. After entering, Li Qian was in a trance, thinking that he had entered Cao Zhan's pipe collection room.

A dazzling array of ah, all kinds of pipes.

Say less than a thousand words!

The old man said eloquently: "Every pipe here is made by me! From the initial cutting, to making, to polishing, to coloring, or sandblasting, I am all by myself! "

I have to say, looking at the room full of pipes, Li Qian felt from the bottom of his heart that this was indeed a remarkable and bragging achievement.

At the same time, he had to sigh again from the bottom of his heart: In contrast, too many artists in this world live too leisurely and interesting life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In contrast to himself , but it is busy from beginning to end year after year, in this life, except for work, there is almost no interest at all.

Especially in the past two years, as a traveler who clearly knows that a new wave of great development of the whole world movie is coming, he is like a little man who has been wound up, constantly busy, Busy, trying to be able to catch up with such a major turning point, at least bring Minghu culture to the right track, and pull the fast lane of rapid development in the next step, and at the same time hope to be able to drive the entire film industry in China...

In short, one word: tired!

Pointing to his treasure trove, the old man said very generously: "Which one is in the picture, just take it, and I will give it to you!"

Then he said: "If you are willing to learn, I can teach you how to make a good pipe!"

Li Qian's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

Fighting for the rise of Chinese movies is the goal I set for myself. If the goal is not achieved, there is no possibility of sighing in advance or being lazy. Perhaps, once I leave the UK, I will end this little vacation I gave myself. , what I have learned here will be useless, and will not even be remembered for the rest of my life.

However, at this time, he was in the treasure trove of pipes that a film master had worked hard for for decades, Li Qian nodded subconsciously and said with a smile: "Okay! Then I will learn to make pipes with you!"

Ask for a monthly ticket ah ah ah ah ah!

There are too many things at hand recently, and I have no ability to break out for the time being, but I still hope that my brothers can give me a hand at the beginning of the month. When I am busy with this part, I will definitely give you a fun time! The key point is that there are too few monthly passes, and there is no passion to look at!
