Huayu since 1980

Chapter 730 A new movie starring Zhou Xingchi (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Chen Kaige went to Xiangjiang after New Year's Day, and met Zhang Guoying at the Peninsula Hotel. The two chatted for a long time. In the end, Zhang Guoyi agreed to Chen Kaige's invitation without seeing the specific script, and stated that Cheng Dieyi is the role prepared for him!

After celebrating the new year in Xiangjiang, Zhang Guoyan came to Yanjing ahead of schedule to get familiar with Peking Opera, which took six months!
Today Zhang Guoyan happened to arrive in Yanjing, and Chen Kaige borrowed a good car from Tangting Culture to pick him up.

In the evening, Chen Kaige hosted a banquet in honor of Zhang Guoying, and called Wu Jianye, hoping that Wu Jianye could also go there. Director Xie had also heard of Zhang Guoying, and was going to join in the fun.

Wu Jianye naturally had no objections.

In the evening, Wu Jianye drove Director Xie to the restaurant, and when he walked into the restaurant, he could see the waiters with excited expressions.

If it is said that Liu Dehua's current domestic popularity is at the double-S level, then Zhang Guoyi must be at the triple-S level!
Wu Jianye smiled and came to the private room with Director Xie, and saw that not only Chen Kaige and Zhang Guoying were there, but also Jiang Yun, who hadn't shown up for a long time, was there, which made Wu Jianye a little curious.

After Zhang Guoyan saw Wu Jianye, he immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Director Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect that we would meet in Yanjing this time. By the way, Hua Tsai just left two days ago!"

Zhang Guoying said with a smile: "I know, after Andy went back, we met once, and he even mentioned this matter specifically, thank you very much Director Wu for your hospitality."

Chen Kaige smiled and said, "Okay, let's all sit down and chat!"

After everyone sat down, Wu Jianye introduced Dao Xie to Zhang Guoying. When Zhang Guoyan heard that Dao Xie turned out to be the seniors of Wu Jianye and others, he quickly stood up, shook hands with Dao Xie and greeted: "Daddy Xie , Hello, I'm Xiangjiang actor Zhang Guoyi!"

Seeing how polite Zhang Guoyan was, Director Xie smiled and said, "Hello, hello, I've heard your name before, yes, it's different from those Hong Kong and Taiwan artists!"

Director Xie has also met many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, but he is the first one who is as polite as Zhang Guoyi!
Zhang Guoyan said: "Thank you, Director, for being polite!"

Wu Jianye looked at Jiang Yun at the side and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yun said sullenly: "I have seen the script of "Farewell My Concubine". In fact, I also want to play Cheng Dieyi, but Kaige disagrees!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said: "You play Cheng Dieyi, I think you should forget it, I don't understand, why some people just can't have a clear understanding of their appearance?"

Jiang Yun blushed slightly and said, "Am I ugly?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It's not ugly, on the contrary, it's very masculine, so you can't play Cheng Dieyi!"

Zhang Guoyan said dissatisfiedly: "Director Wu, what do you mean I'm not manly anymore?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Of course not. You are not talking nonsense if you are not young. To be honest, I have always thought that you are the most suitable person to play this type of role among Xiangjiang artists, but there is one thing. I have to warn you!"

Seeing Wu Jianye's seriousness, Zhang Guoying's expression became a little dignified, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Jianye said: "It's too difficult for you to get out of the role. Although this will make you better integrate into the role, you have to know that acting is acting. You have to learn to separate yourself from the role itself, otherwise you will not It will be counterattacked!"

This is Wu Jianye's heartfelt words. In his opinion, Zhang Guoying's success is beyond doubt, but the same is true of Zhang Guoying's tragedy. Whether it is his later love view or life tragedy, it is closely related to his difficulty in getting out of the role. Relationship!
After Zhang Guoyan listened to it, he also fell into deep thought. He knew his own affairs, and it was really not easy for him to step out of the role.

Director Xie added next to him: "Xiao Wu is talking about this truth, and some good actors are like this. If you look at those masters in our Peking Opera, some of them have played a character for a lifetime, and it is easy for them to be confused between reality and reality. Performance"

Chen Kaige and Jiang Yun also expressed their opinions one after another, offering ways to withdraw from the role.

Zhang Guoyi also nodded repeatedly when he heard it. Although everyone's methods are not necessarily suitable for Zhang Guoyi, they can provide Zhang Guoyi with a direction.

After a while, Gu Changwei also came to the hotel for the filming of "Farewell My Concubine".

"Why did you come here!" Chen Kaige asked.

Gu Changwei sat down, took a sip of water, and said, "Isn't this helping you to ask about Gong Li?"

Jiang Yun said from the side: "So, the female lead of "Farewell My Concubine" has been confirmed as Gong Li?"

Chen Kaige nodded, and said, "That's right, for the role of Juxian, I'm more optimistic about Gong Li!"

Jiang Yun said: "It's true when you say that!"

Some people call Gong Li the muse of the fifth-generation directors. This is actually because Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige came here. Almost all of their pinnacle works are in collaboration with Gong Li.

This also made Gong Li's reputation in the 90s!
Wu Jianye said beside him: "I remember that Gong Li's previous play was "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", in which she played a rural woman. You must have made her a little uncomfortable with such a sudden change. You guys It's better to let Gong Li get familiar with the role in advance!"

Chen Kaige nodded and said: "I know, during the period when Zhang Guoying is studying Peking Opera, I will let her read more materials!"

Gu Changwei said from the side: "You have to hurry up on this matter. Lao Mouzi is also preparing a new film now. I guess it must be Gong Li. At that time, you two don't get involved."

After finishing speaking, Gu Changwei glanced at Wu Jianye again, and said, "By the way, when I saw Gong Li just now, Lao Mouzi was also beside him, and said he wanted to talk to you about something!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, since I saw him just now, just let the two of them come over, I'm going to Qiong Province soon, how can I have time to see him then! "

Gu Changwei said aggrievedly: "I didn't know you were here too!"

Wu Jianye took out the phone, handed it to Gu Changwei, and said, "Call him and ask him to come too!"

Gu Changwei took Wu Jianye's Tunan mobile phone and went out to call Zhang Yimou, while the other people beside him asked curiously, "Did you choose a filming location?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Zhao Fei called today. He found a good place in Qiong Province, which is more suitable for my new filming. I plan to go and have a look during this time!"

Jiang Yun exaggeratedly said: "This is a good show, the three of you are going to confront each other head-on!"

When Chen Kaige heard what Jiang Yun said, there was a spark in his eyes. Now many media have compared Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou together.

And Chen Kaige had the lowest evaluation among the three. According to his proud personality, he couldn't bear it. There is nothing better than a head-on confrontation to explain the status of the three.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal. By the way, how is your research on "Ferocious Animals" going?"

Jiang Yun said helplessly: "I'm still changing the script, it's been fucked up several times, and I'm still not satisfied." Then Jiang Yun added: "By the way, Xiaolong found me before, and now he has a script for a TV series in his hand. The script wants me to go over and help?"

Wu Jianye said, "What script?"

Jiang Yun said: "It seems to be telling the story of Yanjing people in New York!"

Wu Jianye nodded. He already knew in his heart that this was the script, and asked, "I know this script. Li Xiaowan told me before that it was filmed by Tangting Culture!"

Jiang Yun immediately became interested, and asked: "So you have read the script, how about it, can you give me your opinion?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If I were you, I would accept this script. The script is a good script, and the director Xiaolong has no problem. Coupled with the subject matter, this TV series will cause a big sensation when it comes out! "

The script of the TV drama that Wu Jianye and Jiang Yun talked about was actually the sensational "Yanjing People in New York" in the 90s!
Jiang Yun saw that Wu Jianye was also very satisfied with the script of this TV series, so he smiled and said: "Well, since you are so optimistic about this TV series, then I will call Xiaolong tomorrow, and I will accept this TV series!"

Wu Jianye said: "Smart choice!"

Zhang Guoyi has seen Jiang Yun's performance, and he also admires Jiang Yun as an actor. In the past, Zhang Guoyi only knew that Wu Jianye also had a high influence in China, but he didn't have any specific concepts.

Now seeing that some of the most outstanding filmmakers in China seem to want to consult Wu Jianye's opinion before shooting a movie, this gave him a clearer impression of Wu Jianye's influence in the country.

Asked curiously: "Director Wu, is your new movie starring a male lead?"

Chen Kaige hurriedly said, "Sheng Zhang, we have already signed the contract!"

Zhang Guoyi's face turned red, but he still smiled and said, "You misunderstood, I'm just curious about which actor will be used in Director Wu's new movie!"

As for the actors of Wu Jianye's new movie, it's not easy to guess. After all, Wu Jianye's influence is not limited to the country, but worldwide. It's really not easy to guess his actors.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "The heroine has already been decided. As for the heroine, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be Zhou Xingchi!"

"Xingzi!" Zhang Guoyan was also slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Wu Jianye's male lead would be Zhou Xingchi, "You want to shoot a comedy?"

What kind of actor Zhou Xingchi is, no one here knows better than Zhang Guoying, so when Wu Jianye said that Zhou Xingchi will be the leading actor, Zhang Guoying's first impression is that the two are not compatible!
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It's not a comedy, it's a drama!"

The other people sitting here have also heard of Zhou Xingchi. Like Zhang Guoying, they never thought that Wu Jianye's new film would choose Zhou Xingchi as the male lead.

Zhang Guoying said: "Xingzi's current schedule is not easy to adjust!"

At this time in Xiangjiang, Cheng Cheng's name on Double Monday has already been recognized, and Zhou Xingchi has also become one of the most popular movie actors in Xiangjiang, and his schedule can be scheduled until next year.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Schedule is not a problem!"

It was only at this time that Zhang Guoyi thought of Wu Jianye's status in Xiangjiang. To be honest, there is really no actor in Xiangjiang who can reject the film directed by Wu Jianye. The existence of the media also makes it impossible for any celebrity to ignore the existence of Wu Jianye.

At this time, Zhang Yimou brought Gong Li to the hotel.

Sitting in the private room at this time, Wu Jianye, Xie Jin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Guoying, Jiang Yun, Gu Changwei, and now Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, it has obviously become the top dinner party in the domestic film industry.

Zhang Yimou was also very excited when he saw Wu Jianye, and said, "I called you this morning, why didn't you answer?"

Wu Jianye smiled, "I guess I didn't hear it, but I heard from Gu Changwei, you need me for something, what's the matter?"

Zhang Yimou hurriedly said, "I want to adapt "To Live" written by you!"

Only then did Wu Jianye know why Zhang Yimou wanted to find him. In this time and space, Zhang Yimou lacked a "Raise the Red Lantern" and many filming ideas were ahead of schedule, and now "To Live" is the same!
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to shoot, just shoot. Is the script finished?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have already contacted Lu Wei and asked him to be the screenwriter of my movie!"

Wu Jianye: "Then, you guys get ready, but I can tell you that I wrote the novel "To Live", and I know what's in it. If you want to adapt a movie, after it is made, It is very likely that it will not be released in China!"

Zhang Yimou didn't think too much about it, and said, "Let's talk about that later, I want to make this movie right now!"

Wu Jianye: "Just be mentally prepared!"

In fact, when Wu Jianye wrote this novel before, he also wanted to adapt this movie, but now Wu Jianye no longer needs to use the movie "To Live" to enhance his international influence, and this movie There are too many sensitive topics in the book, and Wu Jianye doesn't want to cause trouble for himself. Now that Zhang Yimou wants to adapt it, he naturally has no objections.

Seeing that Wu Jianye agreed, Zhang Yimou immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then this matter is settled like this!"

Wu Jianye asked casually, "Who is the leading actor thinking of?"

Zhang Yimou said: "The role of Jiazhen is still Gong Li, the other candidates have not been selected yet!"

Chen Kaige hurriedly said, "Old Mouzi, when will your movie start?"

The relationship between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li has long been an open secret. If Zhang Yimou's movie also uses Gong Li, Chen Kaige really can't compete with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have to carve it out in the early stage!"

Chen Kaige breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yimou say that.

Gong Li was listening to the two most powerful directors of the younger generation in China, arguing for their current period, and she was still beautiful in her heart.

However, after taking a look at Wu Jianye, I still felt a little sigh in my heart. After all, Wu Jianye is now the most well-deserved number one among domestic directors!

But Gong Li has never appeared in Wu Jianye's movie.

Wu Jianye said again: "Fugui is the soul character of this movie, who do you want to use?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "Not yet!"

Wu Jianye said: "I'll recommend a candidate for you. When I first saw him, I felt that he was the rich and honor I wanted in my heart!"

　The starring role has been confirmed. Guess which movie the new movie is?
