Chapter 408 A talk(2/2)

From the phone, Takeshi Iwata still couldn't hear anything, and even Xu Feng's tone was still happy.

But, come out and meet like this.

"Hello, Mr. Iwata."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Chen, we can communicate in Chinese."

Takeshi Iwata met Director Chen this time, and besides...

"Although I knew Mr. Iwata was proficient in Chinese early on, when I saw him now, he was really different."

"Miss Gong Li, you're welcome."

That's right, Gong Li, she's here too!

The way this international movie queen looked at me made me feel familiar.

Was she the one at the reception last night?

As for Xu Feng, it was obvious that she was just accompanying him during this meeting.

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Iwata..."

Director Chen showed his broadmindedness and said with a smile.

Takeichi Iwata knew what kind of character he was early on, so he didn't take such words seriously.

If you want to talk, just talk.

And soon, the topic entered the real topic.

"Mr. Iwata, I would like to know your opinion on Asian movies."

"Oh, this view...what does it refer to?"

"Mr. Iwata's works have won many awards at well-known international film festivals, including two Oscars. So, of course, I want to hear Mr. Iwata's opinion on how Asian films have achieved international success.

Already."

"Oh, so it's this."

When Takeshi Iwata heard this, he felt a little strange.

How is that strange?

Director Chen, such a arrogant and petty-minded person, I just defeated him once, but this guy... oh oh oh!

I got it.

Takeshi Iwata remembered that there were some rumors on the Internet later, but they were not really rumors at all. They were things that Director Chen published in some Japanese film magazines.

To put it simply... the specific content is a bit embarrassing, basically just saying that I am worthless and how awesome Japan is.

He is now asking Iwata Takeshi for advice with an attitude like a student!

To be honest, Takeshi Iwata was a little embarrassed.

How old is he this year, that is, thirty? Director Chen is older than him.

Moreover, Takeshi Iwata is still Chinese at heart, and he is also a professional. Director Chen is better than him in terms of qualifications and strength.

But now...

Then why should I be polite?!

"There is actually nothing special about this matter.

First of all, we have to admit that in this era, Europe and the United States do dominate the mainstream of movies on this planet.

This mainstream category includes not only plot, but also aesthetics.

This is indeed a fact, and we do not need to avoid it.

But how to accept this fact?

Personally, I will not obey, or to put it simply, I will not succumb to this fact.

Let me be more direct about European and American movies. Hollywood movies do have many merits and are worth learning from.

However, sticking to our own things in Asia is the real key.

Asian movies should have the direct style of Asian movies.

We Asian filmmakers also need to have our own unique style.

Learn its techniques and uphold our cultural confidence.

That’s what I want to say.”

After what he said, it could be said that he was speaking righteously, but Director Chen was a little confused.

Why does what this person said seem to have a lot of subtext?

Are you saying, don’t cater to European and American aesthetics in order to win awards?

Isn’t it?

Takeshi Iwata just smiled. Although his smile was quite ferocious, his eyes were calm and unfazed, and he also laughed.

"Mr. Iwata, are you free?"

Gong Li actually invited Takeshi Iwata so generously!
