Brazilian Film Festival in the Shanghai Film Festival

 

(A)
Last night, Consul General Joao de Mendonca Lima Neto(若奥·德·门东萨·利马·内托) of Brazil gave a fantastic dinner at the Garden Hotel in shanghai and Shanghai A list came out. including Joan Chen, designer Han Feng, Qin Yi, Nora Sun.   Here  are some pictures.  i am sure you recognize them.

 

Joao is one of the most beloved Consul Generals in Shanghai (he has a beard) and is a specially close friend of mine.  He is smart, hardworking, fun loving, kind, generous and has a beautiful Japanese wife by the name of Yoko.  We see each other a lot in Shanghai.  He has worked very hard to bring 12 films from Brazil to share with the Chinese audiences.  One of the guests is Lucelia Santos, the famous TV actress that appeared in a popular series in China as 女奴 in the 80's.

 

Last night, I also met a lot of interesting people like Mr. Lv Jiulong（吕九龙）, Chairman of the Shanghai KFC.  Also, another extraordinary person I never met before is  in fact  the one that sponsored the dinner for  260 people. He was seated next to me and his name is  Mr. Qiu Ji Bao（邱继宝）, President of Feiyue Group（飞跃集团）, the largest maker of sewing machines in the world. ( www.feiyuegroup.com)  He started with sewing shoes to make some money when he was young.  Now he sells all kinds of sewing machines for all kinds of things in over 144 countries.(don't only think clothes!)  What a great story！  He told me that he started doing business in Brazil 20 years ago and today, he has a big headquarter there.  What vision, what foresight!  This is one of the reasons I love China.  it is so energetic, created by giants like Mr. Qiu.

You know, I filmed Brazil in the 80's for my show on CCTV, it was the first time Chinese audience ever saw Brazil!  I went to Brazilia, the Capital in the middle of the country to interview President Sarney, the south to Bahia to film some traditional Brazilian rituals which is called Condomble,(it's an African fundamental religion with Brazilian features.I still remember my tour guide seemed embarrassed when i questioned her about the ritualistic at that time) the Carnival Samba Schools (you know Brazil is famous for its Carnival which is really  run by the Samba Schools between which there are very fierce competitions)  Sau Paulo where it is the 2nd largest concentration of Japanese outside of Japan while our Chinese population is rather large too. Rio De Janiero (the River of January) has the world famous beach Ipanema (remember the song?  the Girl from Ipanema. Yes, indeed the girls from Ipanema are absolutely gorgeous. ） They wear the skinniest bikinis to show off their wonderful bodies.  It is a very beautiful country with beautiful people. 

 

You know Brazil is huge!  Even though I took 3 TV crews to Brazil and did a lot of pre-production work, we did not touch Brazil completely.  One day I would like to go to Brazil to do 2 things I have never done:  1.  for New Year.  There is a custom that you  wear white and go into the sea for the sun rise.  Imagine how beautiful it can be...with thousands of people doing that.  It is a gorgeous sight and tradition.  2.  i would like to one day also visit the Amazon Forest.  It is the most natural forest in existence today.

One of the biggest compliments I ever received was what the former Vice Premier Tian Ji Yun（田纪云） said to me....He said that before he went on an official visit to Brazil in 1988, he asked CCTV to send him the 6 parts of TV shows I filmed on Brazil and used them as study material. 

 

大家知道，在上世纪80年代的时候，我制作的关于巴西的电视节目在CCTV上播出，那是中国观众第一次看到巴西！当时，我去位于巴西中部的首都巴西利亚采访巴西总统Sarney，在Bahia的南部，拍到了一些被称作“Condomble”的传统巴西庆典，这种庆典以非洲宗教为基础，又有巴西自己的特点。我依然记得当我问我的旅游向导关于庆典的问题时她脸上尴尬的表情。大家都知道巴西著名的狂欢节，实际上，狂欢节是由桑巴舞学校举办的，在狂欢节上，学校之间都要进行激烈的桑巴舞比赛。圣保罗是世界上除了日本本土以外第二大本日人集中地，那里也有很多中国人。里约热内卢有世界上最著名的沙滩——伊帕尼玛，还记得那首《来自伊帕尼玛的女孩》的歌吗？的确，伊帕尼玛的女孩绝对让你炫目！她们穿着紧身的比基尼来展示她们漂亮的身材。巴西真是山美水美人更美！

大家都知道，巴西非常大，以至于我当时带了3名拍摄人员并在拍摄前做了大量的工作，但依然没能完完全全地了解巴西。如果有一天我再去巴西，我要做两件我从来没有做过的事情：第一件，在那里过新年。在巴西有一个传统，在新年的时候，身穿白色的衣服，然后站到海里，等待日出……，想像一下吧，那将是多么美的情景！和上千人一起在海里等待新年日出，既传统又华丽。第二件，我要去亚玛逊森林，那里是世界上现存的最自然的森林了！

国务院前副总理田纪云曾对我说，在他1988年前往巴西进行正式访问前夕，曾让CCTV的人给他送来我制作的这6部巴西专题节目作为学习材料。这是我曾听到的对我的最大赞扬之一。
