Chapter 1307 Good luck
Zhao Yu was very fast and in just three days, he added the love scene that Tan Xiaotian asked for.
The retired cook has a beautiful daughter. During the process of learning cooking between the male protagonist and his father, the two had a misunderstanding and became a happy enemy, and finally got together.
The whole script is light and humorous, without much depth, and is a popcorn movie suitable for the whole family to watch.
But the biggest selling point of this movie is food, which is a spark created by the collision of Chinese and Western catering concepts. With this theme, the style of the whole movie has been improved immediately.
This is exactly the result that Tan Xiaotian wants.
After reading the revised part, Tan Xiaotian said, "Very good! Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhao."
Zhao Yu received praise, and the stone in his heart finally landed on the ground.
He has been working for several days in a row for this script.
Chang Hong hurriedly said, "Boss, the French translation has been found. A professor from Yanjing Foreign Studies University has lived in France for many years and has a deep literary attainment.
I have told him that this script is very important and is a task in the Sino-French film cultural exchange activities. He also promised to help me translate it as soon as possible."
Tan Xiaotian nodded and pressed the phone on the table, "Help me contact Mr. Lu of Huaying and ask him if he has time?
I'm going to visit him."
Jiang Liangshu's voice came out, "Okay, Mr. Tan, I'll contact you right away."
After a minute, Jiang Liangshu knocked on the office door, "Mr. Tan, have contacted General Manager Lu's secretary. General Manager Lu is in the office now, and you are welcome at any time."
Tan Xiaotian stood up and shook hands with Zhao Yu, "I'll go find President Lu now and finalize this matter."
Zhao Yu was overjoyed and Tan Xiaotian promised that if the filming of this movie started, he would be the Chinese director.
It was a great opportunity for him to be a director in a movie that represents the official will of both countries.
An hour later, Tan Xiaotian's Bentley drove into the yard of Huaying Company, and Lu Heng's secretary quickly walked out of the guard room.
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Lu turned down all the guests and was waiting for you."
He led the way forward, and Tan Xiaotian followed him into Lu Heng's office.
Lu Heng stood up to greet him, "What wind blows you over?"
Tan Xiaotian smiled and shook hands, "Master Lu can guess."
"It must be a matter of cultural exchange between China and France. Is it because you want to take this opportunity to make a movie to make money?"
Tan Xiaotian took out the script, "Don't think so vulgar. I'm also a contributing to the cultural undertakings of both countries."
Lu Heng took the script and read it carefully. He was a little happy when he saw it.
The theme of food is festive and lively, with a large audience, and China and France are recognized as major food countries, which are most suitable for resonance among the people in this regard. If this project is reported, the leaders above will definitely agree.
"The script is definitely fine. I can guarantee this. How did the director and actor decide?"
"It's not decided yet. I will wait until you agree before I will contact the French side. In addition, the script has just come out and it will be translated into French."
Tan Xiaotian answered honestly, "But don't worry, Jacques owes me a favor, he promised to help me choose a director and an actor. As for Chinese actors, I have decided that Jiang Wen and Gu Zhiqing, the Chinese director is the screenwriter Zhao Yu. He has filmed "Double Food Record", and his professional level is definitely fine."
Lu Hengyi was completely relieved when he heard Jacob's name.
The president of the Cannes Film Festival takes action, and the director he chooses must be heavyweight.
"Including your movie, we already have two co-productions, one is "Wolf Totem" invested by Chinese and directed by French director Jacques. By the way, have you figured out the name of this movie?"
Tan Xiaotian smiled, "Just call it the chef god. Although this name is a bit of a mess for domestic audiences, it is still okay to scare foreigners."
Lu Heng picked up his pen and solemnly wrote two big words on the homepage, "The God of Chef".
"Xiaotian, I have to thank Ambassador Tan and you for speaking of cultural exchange. Without your help, the cultural exchange of films would not have been settled so quickly."
Lu Heng's gratitude comes from the heart. Once the Sino-French film exchange is successfully held, it will be a very important political achievement for him.
"What are we still polite?
With this exchange event, I can also take the opportunity to make a movie."
The two looked at each other and both laughed in a scheming way.
Everyone gets the needs and everyone is happy.
"Ming Yan is back during the Chinese New Year?
I will definitely notify me when the time comes, my colleagues in the past miss her very much."
This is the third time Lu Heng has mentioned this. Tan Xiaotian promised him to wait for Tan Mingyan to come back and would definitely invite his former colleagues to go to his house to gather.
Two days later, the French professor at the University of Foreign Studies translated the script. Tan Xiaotian asked Chang Hong to send the French version of the script to Jacob's email address, and called him personally, telling him that everything was ready in Yanjing and asked him to reply to him immediately after reading the script.
In less than an hour, Tan Xiaotian received a call from Jacob.
"I've watched the script. This is an obvious commercial film, but it's also very good after being shot. It's very suitable for a cultural exchange project.
I just contacted the Ministry of Culture and prepared a list, with Luc Besson as the director, and the male lead selected Louis Garrell. What do you think?"
What else?
Tan Xiaotian was both surprised and happy. It seemed that the French side attached great importance to this cultural exchange activity.
Luc Besson is the most famous director of the French commercial film. He has filmed many box office and influential commercial films such as "The Fifth Element" and "This Killer Not Too Cold".
Louis Garrell is a young French idol film actor who has filmed "Dream of Paris" and has won the love of thousands of movie fans for his unique melancholy temperament.
With these two people, it basically guarantees the box office basis of "The God of Chef" in the European market.
Tan Xiaotian thanked him repeatedly.
Jacob discussed with Tan Xiaotian the time when the French film industry visited China.
Jacob originally wanted to set off in the next few days, but Tan Xiaotian told him that there are more than ten days left for the Spring Festival in China. Now Chinese people are waiting for the New Year, and this time period is not a suitable time.
He suggested that Jacob set the date of his visit after February 10, and Jacob happily accepted it.
The movie was basically confirmed. Tan Xiaotian informed Zhao Yu and Jiang Wen and asked them to leave the time after February 10 to meet the French director and actors.
As for Gu Zhiqing, she is still abroad and her global individual tour is coming to an end. I won’t look for her when I meet this time. Just join the group directly during the official shooting.
Jiang Wen and Zhao Yu agreed immediately.
Especially Jiang Wen, when he heard that the French director was Luc Besson, his chin almost fell to the ground in surprise.
He is a professional filmmaker, and of course he knows Lucbesson's status in the European film industry. This is the only European business director who can compete with Hollywood. Unexpectedly, Tan Xiaotian was so proud that he actually invited him out of the mountain.
Tan Xiaotian was very modest, "I don't have any face, I'm just lucky. Isn't this just a catch-up with the Sino-French cultural exchange?"
He is telling the truth.
"It's good if I can have the luck of you."
