Huayu since 1980

Chapter 508 The Hollywood Project

A big moon hangs in the sky, and occasionally a few clouds will pass by, blocking the moonlight, but they will pass by soon, and the earth will continue to be covered with silver moonlight, and the blinking of stars all over the sky is even more fascinating. People are intoxicated.

This is the real starry sky, not the few stars that later generations see when looking up at the starry sky, and some even the light from satellites.

The development of the times has brought a lot of convenience to human beings, but at the same time, the people of that era have lost many good memories.

At that time, for some children, maybe the word "starry sky" was just an idiom in their textbooks
Wu Jianye hugged Wu Nianyi, the little guy was also very excited, Wu Jianye held the little guy's fluffy-gloved hand, pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Look, when you grow up, there probably won't be any This is the chance to see such a starry sky.”

This kind of words fell into Zhu Zhuan's ears, naturally it was nonsense, but she was used to Wu Jianye's nonsense, so she didn't say anything.

Zhou Tao on the side is holding the little hand of his daughter Zhou Na. Zhou Na is more than four years old, and Sun Qing is dressed up like a doll, very cute.

As for Zhou Fei, he followed Zhou Hao early, surrounded the fireworks that had already been smashed, and began to cheer. In the past, he just looked at ready-made fireworks, but now it is different. He knows that his father made them himself. Yes, naturally I look forward to it even more.

Zhou Hao glanced at Wu Jianye, Zhou Fei and others, and saw them nodding, so he took the cigarette in his hand, lit the primer, and ran back quickly with Zhou Fei.

As the sparks of the introduction burned rapidly, a firework like a Christmas tree was released, and each small spark was dotted, forming a firework in the shape of a Christmas tree more than two meters high.

Dye the night under the moonlight into golden yellow.

Zhou Fei originally raised his neck, but when he saw that the fireworks were only two meters high, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Pouting his mouth, he walked up to Zhou Tao: "Daddy, it's not good-looking, not as good-looking as Xiangjiang's fireworks."

Zhou Tao looked at Wu Jianye with a smile, and the two looked at each other and smiled. This is actually the gap between two generations, just like fireworks. The time Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao look forward to most every year is the fireworks in the village during the Lantern Festival. It's time.

To be honest, according to Wu Jianye's and Zhou Tao's eyes, such fireworks are really not good-looking, but they represent more of a memory, a memory of childhood.

I believe that when Zhou Fei and the others grow up, holding the phone and comics will also be their childhood memories.

Every generation has the memories of every generation, and no one has to force anyone else.

On the contrary, Zhou Na was very happy watching from the sidelines, her little hands in cotton gloves clapped her hands, and she shouted in a childish voice, "It's so beautiful, just like a Christmas tree."

Seeing his daughter applauding at this time, Zhou Tao also seemed very excited, and said to Wu Jianye, "Why don't we order them all?"

After Wu Jianye heard it, his heart was also moved, and he said with a smile: "Then order it all!"

After speaking, the two handed over the child to Zhu Zhu and Sun Qing, and each of them ran to the fireworks that had already been smashed, lit them, and then ran to the next place to continue lighting them.

Soon all eight fireworks were lit by the two of them. At this time, under the night sky, it became completely golden yellow.

And it was such a spectacular scene that made the brat Zhou Fei applaud excitedly.

The old lady stood aside and looked at Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao like children, with a knowing smile in her eyes. This scene is like more than ten years ago. At that time, Wu Jianye and Zhou Tao were only teenagers Wu Jianye's father was still there at that time.

At that time, during the Chinese New Year, they watched Wu Jianye, Zhou Tao and his group of brats running around the world.

Although there were many unsatisfactory things at that time, such as being poor, but looking back on that time now, it is full of happy memories.

And those hardships that I have suffered, now in retrospect, it is not so bitter.

The reason why the fireworks are gorgeous is because they only have a short life, so after the madness, those fireworks will slowly wither.

Zhou Fei said regretfully, "Is this the end?"

"Didn't you just say you didn't look good?" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Zhou Fei raised his neck and said, "But it's pretty good to play together!"

After speaking, he took Zhou Tao's hand and said, "Dad, can you make some fireworks like this tomorrow?"

Wu Jianye immediately walked up to Zhu Zhuo and said, "Let's go, let's go, it's getting late, our family should go to bed one by one!"

Zhou Tao looked at Wu Jianye expectantly, and wanted to seek Wu Jianye's help, he was also very tired, okay?
But looking at the figures of Wu Jianye's family that were drifting away, and then looking at his son's eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, tomorrow Daddy will bring Uncle Wu to throw flowers for you."

Then I heard Wu Jianye's voice in the dark: "I don't have time tomorrow, I'm very busy on New Year's Eve!"

After returning home, the old lady snatched Wu Nianyi away from Zhu Zhuan's arms, and Wu Jianye and Zhu Zhuan also returned to their own room.

Zhu Yan smiled and said to Wu Jianye: "I found that as long as you are with Zhou Tao, you will change your appearance, like a child."

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Isn't it as bad as a child?"

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you will be so happy forever!"

"By the way, wait a minute, I'll add some fire to the stove." Wu Jianye suddenly remembered something.

Naturally, there is no heating at home, not to mention heating, even the power supply is not strong, and frequent power outages are common.

And once the power is cut off for several days, no one can do anything.

As for the heating at home, a small boiler was actually fired in the kitchen, and when the house was rebuilt, the radiators were bought directly from Yanjing.

Of course, most people don't have this condition. It is more likely to have a small stove in the living room or bedroom, and then make a ventilation duct to the outside, otherwise it will be poisoned by coal.

Wrapped in a coat, he went to the kitchen to add a lot of briquettes. Wu Jianye rubbed his hands and ran back. At this time, Zhu Zhuan had already put hot water in the heating bag and put it in the bed to warm the quilt.

"Is Hu Mei going to direct the next part of "Legend of the White Snake"?" Zhu Zhuo asked.

"It's about the same. I'm going to Berlin to attend the film festival. By the time I get back, your filming is almost finished." Wu Jianye said.

Zhu Zhu: "Didn't you say that "Popular Cinema" wants to do an exclusive interview with you?"

At this time, there were no talk shows in China, and the first official talk show in China was Xiao Cui's "Tell the Truth", but it was already 96 at that time.

Otherwise, according to Wu Jianye's current popularity, it is estimated that major TV stations have long been competing to invite Wu Jianye, but even so, some TV stations hope to invite Wu Jianye to their TV station for an interview. For example, Zhao Xiaoyan said before The Shanghai TV station I visited had invited Wu Jianye several times through Zhao Xiaoyan.

"I rejected it. It's better to keep a low profile this year!" Wu Jianye said.

Zhu Yan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

It was impossible for Wu Jianye to tell Zhu Zhu the specific reason, but he just found a reason: "It's nothing, I just heard that this year's policy may change again!"

Zhu Zhuan also knew about Wu Jianye's relationship with the higher-ups, so he didn't ask any more questions. He only cared about Wu Jianye and said, "What about your shooting mission this year?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "In the first half of the year, I should be busy with "Legend of the New White Snake". At that time, we also need to go to Xiangjiang to do some publicity.”

After Zhu Zhu heard Xiangjiang, his face couldn't help but changed a lot, and then asked: "Do I need to go too?"

Wu Jianye held Zhu Zhuan's hand, and said dotingly: "When the time comes, you can go as you like, go if you want, and don't go if you don't want to go!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said nothing.

There was a brief silence in the room, but Zhu Yan quickly settled his mood and asked, "What about the second half of the year?"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "If there are no accidents, I will go to North America to shoot a movie in the second half of the year!"

Zhu Zhu was taken aback for a moment, but she had never heard that Wu Jianye was going to North America to shoot a movie.

"Didn't you say that they are not very friendly to us Chinese?" Zhu Zhuo asked.

In fact, this is something that can’t be helped. Wu Jianye really has no idea about the situation in China this year, but Wu Jianye doesn’t seem to just give up half a year like this. The matter of filming in North America is actually too early. It's in his plan.

Now he has two projects in his hands, one is "Jurassic Park", a sci-fi masterpiece, and the other is a warm romance film.

Up to now, Wu Jianye has not confirmed which movie to shoot, it can only be confirmed when he arrives in North America.

"Unfriendliness is divided into people, and your husband and I don't need them to be friendly to me. I'm going to punish them!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Then you are going to use our Chinese actors in this movie?"

"The main actors will definitely not be Chinese, but mainly white." When it came to this, Wu Jianye was quite helpless.

He is not as naive as some of the later entertainment writers, thinking that as long as he comes up with classic works, he can break the inherent racial problems in North America.

Wu Jianye dared to conclude that if he used a Chinese crew for his first film in North America, then waiting for Wu Jianye would be destined to end up in the street.

The racial problem in North America is more serious than anyone imagined. Even 30 years later, the mainstream market in the North American film industry is still the market of white people. , also to no avail.

By the way, Wu Jianye has also seen the movie "Black Panther", and the filming is really not very good. If it is not for the black man's shell, it is estimated that the box office will not be so good.

So this time Wu Jianye can only choose to use white actors as the main cast. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. What he has to do now is actually to do it step by step.
Speaking of the adaptation of the novel "Jurassic Park", Spielberg personally found Phantom Entertainment some time ago and proposed to buy the copyright of this novel and put it on the big screen at the same time.

In view of Spielberg's influence in Hollywood, Linda couldn't refuse directly. She originally wanted to say: If Spielberg agreed to join Phantom Entertainment, then she would consider handing over the adaptation rights of this novel to Spielberg. Pierberg's.

But after thinking about it in the end, he communicated with Wu Jianye first, and then Wu Jianye immediately asked Linda to stop this idea.

Because Spielberg is really likely to agree. As one of the top directors in Hollywood, the reason why Spielberg joined CAA is because CAA won the right to adapt "Jurassic Park" and then used it as a The chip invited Spielberg to join CAA, and finally Spielberg really agreed.

But Linda is also worried that he will offend Spielberg and the Jewish people behind him who have the absolute right to speak in Hollywood.

Linda's worry is not unreasonable. At this time, the status of Jews in Hollywood is the same as the influence in China during the peak period of the Beijing circle, or even stronger.

Even Linda herself has Jewish ancestry.
They have always been a united circle. If Spielberg is really offended, then the entire circle is likely to be offended.

However, Wu Jianye did not agree with Linda's suggestion in the end. The movie "Jurassic Park" is really too important, and it is regarded as Hollywood's key to open the door of the world.

Wu Jianye admits that even if there is no "Jurassic Park", there will be other movies in Hollywood to knock on the door of the world. If this is the case, then this door should be opened by yourself.

Although it has contributed to the momentum of Hollywood, but at the same time, relying on this movie can make Wu Jianye's name truly resound all over the world.

Although Wu Jianye already has a certain popularity in Europe, but this kind of popularity is more famous in the independent film circle.

To become the most famous director in the world, simply having a reputation in the independent film circle is not enough.

Two blossoms are Wu Jianye's pursuit.

In the end, Linda couldn't convince Wu Jianye, so she had to apologize to Spielberg.

"Then are you going to stay in North America for a long time in the future?" Zhu Zhuo looked at Wu Jianye worriedly.

Wu Jianye smiled, naturally he knew what Zhu Yan was worried about, and said, "Don't worry, I won't stay there for too long."

Only then did Zhu Xuan show a relieved expression.

Although the working relationship between the two is destined to make them often get together less often, but at that time, Wu Jianye was at least in China, but now it is different, he is abroad.

Wu Jianye reached out to touch the temperature in the quilt, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't think about it, go to bed early, tomorrow will be thirty, and there are many things to do."

"Ok!"
