Cannes Film Festival, if it's just about movies, it's a good festival.

However, once certain factors are at work, it is very disgusting.

Takeshi Iwata really just wanted to make a good movie, and he didn't get involved in that aspect. He was also happy that the movie won an award.

But he had to be on guard, otherwise, he might be used as a gun one day.

So, to Thierry is to say...

Familiar but not that familiar.

What are these two people looking for?

As soon as they appeared, Takeshi Iwata had this thought in his mind, that is, will "The Killer Is Not So Cold" be taken by Luc Besson, and then he wants to make it?

If this is the case, Takeshi Iwata is not a ruthless person, right?

However, it was beyond his expectation.

After the three exchanged pleasantries, Marco and Thierry explained their intentions.

"Mr. Iwata, we have brought you good news this time."

"Director Iwata, this time is really great news."

A Frenchman and an Italian were speaking to Takeshi Iwata in English. Fortunately, his vicious-looking supervisor could still understand him.

"What is the good news?"

It seems that the three of them are talking in a mess, so why not, Thierry will let Marco talk.

This one also simply used Chinese directly, so maybe the expression is more accurate.

"Hollywood big companies are interested in you and your work!"

Hearing this, Takeshi Iwata felt a little proud, but he still had to ask for details.

"Which one is it? And who has taken a fancy to my work?"

He also uses Chinese, and it seems that this kind of communication is much more convenient than before. At least everyone's accent is not so difficult to understand.

With a look of excitement on his face, Marco spit out two names directly.

"Universal! Martin Scorsese!"

As soon as Takeshi Iwata heard it, he immediately became a little dazed.

Could it be...

Soon, these two guys verified his guess.

……

He won the Palme d'Or in Cannes before, and on another level, that is, in business, Takeshi Iwata has not been idle.

Originally, Dongbao was helping with the operation, so his supervision naturally gave face.

And, what is it for?

Supervisor Iwata is going out of Asia and going international!

Well, to be precise, Takeshi Iwata is going to develop in Hollywood!

Hollywood is a term that filmmakers of this era cannot bypass.

Even if it is as strong as Akira Kurosawa, so what?

He has also hit Hollywood, but his personality is too weird and he insists on his own principles too much, so he has very unpleasant troubles with Hollywood.

"Tiger!Tiger!Tiger! "For this movie, he was directly replaced by Hollywood.

This matter seems to be very simple to say, but in fact, anyone who understands some workplace rules understands it.

The other party did not show any affection for the master who is known as the Emperor of Movies.

Kurosawa himself said that his suicide was directly related to this incident.

The old man was okay and didn't hide it.

As for Takeshi Iwata, from the perspective of a superintendent, his future development goals do not need to be said by himself at all.

As far as the whole of Japan knows, he will definitely go to Hollywood for a while.

It should be said that according to his age, he is still a little early now.

But as far as his momentum is concerned, even if he goes now, it's not a big problem.

The operation of Dongbao is naturally the same.

Marco and Thierry, of course, think so.

Ever since, the two of them started to act.

In simple terms, these two guys form an international cinephile gang.

It is true that a gang committed a crime.

Introducing Takeshi Iwata to the Hollywood company was the first task of their group.

Needless to say, Hollywood responded very quickly.

After all, Takeshi Iwata now has the title of Palme d'Or winner, which is quite a halo.

Dongbao actively cooperated again, and soon, there will be results.

Universal Pictures, this is a film company with a long history in Hollywood, and the name of this company is quite international.

Many major Hollywood companies are expanding beyond the United States, and Universal can be regarded as a relatively outward-looking company.

Moreover, there is a key figure in it.

Martin Scorsese.

This great director once shot a scene for half a year, and he is absolutely obsessed with his films.

In addition, he is also a frequent visitor to the Cannes Film Festival and the winner of the Palme d'Or.

Ever since, it was actually Thierry and Marco who went to find this famous director first, and Martin Scorsese is currently cooperating with Universal Pictures.

Regarding Takeshi Iwata... In fact, the director was not so concerned at the beginning.

After all, he was also very busy, but one day in 1990, after he saw the work of this director Iwata...

Can't stop!

A director who is very obsessed with the camera, and can even shoot for half a year for one shot, soon fell in love with the Japanese director's camera technique.

very funny.

As for Dongbao's various cooperation, naturally all the films were taken over.

Ever since, so many elements came together.

That's right!

Martin Scorsese wants to remake Takeshi Iwata's "The Infernal Affairs"!

In fact, as soon as the name of the director was mentioned, Takeshi Iwata guessed the result.

It was a bit of a surprise that it wasn't Luc Besson.

But since it's him, it's fine.

Although Martin Scorsese has won the Palme d'Or, he has never had the little golden man of Oscar for best director.

Yes, he is a runner, just like Haruki Murakami.

He behaved indifferently in many places, but in fact, we all know that this guy definitely has great obsession in his heart.

And the movie "Infernal Affairs"...if it develops according to the original time and space, it really helped him win this honor.

But the situation at that time...

To be honest, the American version of "The Departed" is really not as good as the original "Infernal Affairs".

It can be seen that the adaptation was indeed very careful, borrowing the background of the Irish gangster.

The Irish are in the United States... Fang Hongjian knew how poor they were, and the poor were left behind...

But the overall feeling is still not quite right.

That kind of strong psychological pressure did not show well.

However, Martin is still very smart, he just made this one.

Therefore, anyone who knows what is going on in the last two parts of "Infernal Affairs" understands it.

When winning the award, Hong Kong filmmakers were very uncomfortable.

Especially the main creator of the original version, this... also understands everything.

America is like that, this Hollywood is like that.

The things they shoot themselves have all kinds of auras.

Even if it is not as good as the original, then they will only boast that they made it themselves.

This is arrogance!

And they won't change it at all, and even this arrogance will become more and more inflated.

An electrician said: Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, but arrogance is.

Takeshi Iwata's current situation is...he thinks it's better to go to an old man to discuss it.

……

Even though he wears glasses, he still has the feeling of old eyesight.

Looking at his trembling hands from time to time, Kurosawa could only smile helplessly.

He's really old, so old that it's hard to do anything anymore.

So, in his last movie, he turned himself into a kid.

Unfortunately, that's just a movie.

Iwata Takeshi came, and the old man was very happy.

Then I heard Takeshi Iwata talk about going to Hollywood, this matter...

To be honest, when Takeshi Iwata came here, he had a feeling that Kaede Rukawa visited Coach Anzai for the matter of going to the United States.

Rukawa Kaede who is as vicious as you?

Don't pay attention to these details, just say that this scene is very similar.

So, what is the old man's suggestion?

"Go! Of course I'm going! How can I not go!"

The old man Akira Kurosawa is very happy, he is like a child now.

Well, it's different from Coach Anxi.

But, next...

"But you must be more careful, those bastards in Hollywood are really, one by one!"

Iwata Takeshi couldn't help laughing when he heard such complaints.

"Do you have any experience to pass on?"

"You kid, do you want to hear about the misery of my failure?"

"Is this... difficult?"

"It's embarrassing! Come on, let me tell you, those guys, they won't let you take power alone!"

"So, do you want to take power alone?"

"I'm an example! You guy..."

These two people, one old and one young, chatted quite wonderfully.

But soon, the most critical topic came.

"What movie are you going to use to open your way to Hollywood?"
