Huayu since 1980

Chapter 778 My movie will not use Wanwan artists (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"Director Wu, we all know that before you filmed "The World of Chu Xing", you had already made great achievements in Hollywood. The two films "The Love of Ghosts" and "Jurassic Park" are still as good as ever. Ranked No. [-] and No. [-] on the global box office list, it can be said that you have proven yourself in Hollywood, the movie hall. It stands to reason that your development in Hollywood should be better. Why do you think of returning to China to shoot movies? ?”

The reporter asked out his curiosity.

This question is not only curious by reporters, it can be said that many people are curious, not to mention this era, even in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, there are still many Chinese filmmakers who hope to achieve success in Hollywood.

At that time, actors who were well-known in China could only play small guest roles in Hollywood, but even so, they still wanted to go to Hollywood with great joy.

Of course, there is also the possibility of exporting to domestic demand to improve yourself. After guest-starring in one or two Hollywood movies, you will dare to play the brand of an international superstar after returning to China!
Now Wu Jianye has achieved such high achievements in Hollywood, but still chooses to return to China to shoot movies. This decision makes many people unable to understand.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "It's easy to understand. First of all, I am a Chinese. My roots are in China. Naturally, I want to make movies in China. At the same time, I also hope to bring our Chinese culture to life through movies." Show it to audiences all over the world in a unique way!"

The reporter continued to ask: "Director Wu, we all know that the remuneration for filming in Hollywood is different from that in China. If you choose to come back, it means that you have given up the opportunity to make a huge fortune in Hollywood. Not just anyone can do it!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "For me, money is just a number!"

The reporter still wants to dig deeper into this topic, "Director Wu, according to our magazine's understanding, I know that you used the method of adding salary to the movie "Jurassic Park", but now "Jurassic Park" "The movie grossed over $11 billion worldwide, can you tell us how much money you made on it?"

Entering Huaxia in the early 90s, it is no longer the era when everyone was talking about ideals in the 80s. Now even a national magazine like "Popular Movies" can discuss salary issues nakedly.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I really haven't calculated this, but it's definitely not less!"

When the reporter wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Wu Jianye, "Let's talk about movies!"

Now that the worship of money has begun to emerge in China, if Wu Jianye reveals his profit from the movie "Jurassic Park", his life, which is not peaceful at all, will definitely become more messy up!

The reporter gave Wu Jianye a resentful look, but he didn't dare to ask this question further. When he came to interview Wu Jianye, the editor-in-chief of the magazine had already warned him seriously. Ye's opportunity doesn't come easily, so don't screw up your relationship with Wu Jianye.

Now Wu Jianye is a famous brand in the domestic film industry. As long as Wu Jianye can be firmly held, the sales of "Popular Magazine" will not be a problem.

If it was in the 80s, "Popular Magazine" would definitely not do this. After all, "Popular Magazine" was the number one movie magazine in China at that time, and it was also a national brand. It basically belonged to the unified rivers and lakes, but now it is not same.

With the end of the old man's southern tour, all industries are in trouble, and so are movie magazines. For the first time, "Popular Magazine" feels a sense of urgency, and now as long as they can keep in touch with Wu Jianye, then for "Popular Magazine" In terms of ", it is equivalent to keeping in touch with all the directors and actors in the Beijing circle, the northwest circle, and Tangting Culture itself.

Then they will no longer lack any reporting resources!

In fact, many things and things at this time are the opposite of when Wu Jianye was reborn.

For example, at that time, there were much more fashion magazines and movie magazines than there are now, but most celebrities needed these resources and would pay some price to be on the cover of these magazines.

The root cause of this phenomenon is that although there are more magazines, there are also more celebrities and artists.

To put it bluntly, no matter how the demand relationship between the two parties changes, it is inseparable from the market. The resources of both parties are more scarce, and that resource has more say.

"Popular Magazine" still has more right to speak in front of ordinary actors and directors, but when they face Wu Jianye, the relationship between the two parties has changed again, that is, there is only one Wu Jianye, and he is still For those who stand at the top of the industry, there is no other way.

"Then, Director Wu, why don't we talk about your new movie? We all know that you once said that your new movie is a feature film. Can you tell us about the plot of this movie?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "As for the specific plot of the movie, I still hope that the audience can go into the movie theater to watch and explore for themselves. I can only say that this is a movie that has never appeared before. When everyone After watching this movie, I will have doubts about the environment around me!"

The reporter asked curiously: "When you said that, Director Wu, I became even more curious. What kind of movie is it that can make people doubt the environment around them?"

Wu Jianye: "Then please go to the cinema on the night of September 9th to find the answer!"

The reporter was helpless, Wu Jianye's mouth was really tight!
"Director Wu, your movie claims to have an investment of 1000 million. You also know that the investment of most domestic movies is still around 130 million. Don't you worry that this movie will not be able to recover its cost?"

"Don't worry. I believe that all moviegoers have their own judgments about movies. An excellent movie will definitely bring the audience back to the cinema!"

"But among the things we know, we understand that your film has invited Zhou Xingchi, a movie superstar from Xiangjiang, and the two actresses, He Qing and Chen Hong, are also very well-known actresses in China. If so, they are all movie actors with box office appeal, did you also consider this when you chose them?"

"No, my movie only chooses suitable actors, and I will not accommodate a certain actor!" Wu Jianye denied.

"There is another question, Director Wu, this time you used Xiangjiang's actor Zhou Xingchi, so in your future films, will you also use Wanwan actors? You also know that our domestic actors are very strict with Wanwan actors. Love it too!"

With the lifting of the ban on Wanwan, many of Wanwan's works have actually entered the country.

For example, the TV series "Mom, Love Me Again", which caused a sensation in China, caused countless Chinese to cry.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Until some problems are not resolved, no Wanwan actor will appear in my movie!"

Although it was just a simple sentence, the reporter of "Popular Cinema" showed an extremely shocked expression.

You must know that apart from the TV series "Mom, Love Me Again" just mentioned, the stars of Wanwan can be said to have fully entered the domestic entertainment circle.

Last year, Qi Zi also held his first domestic concert in China.

The current Wanwan stars are no less influential in China than the Xiangjiang stars.

Now Wu Jianye actually said clearly that before that matter is resolved, he will not use any Wan Wan actor in his movie, which can be said to be contrary to the current general environment!

"Director Wu, aren't you afraid of offending some people when you say these words?" The reporter couldn't help asking.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said: "There is nothing to worry about. As a director, I can decide what actors to use. I personally don't like actors from Wanwan, so naturally I don't need them. Is it still possible?" Is someone holding a gun and forcing me to go and shoot a movie with an artist in Wanwan?"

The reporter didn't know how to answer the conversation. After all, they were just a movie magazine. Although the question Wu Jianye was discussing with him was still within this category, the core of it had been replaced by another question. He was worried about asking further questions. , something should happen.

In fact, this issue may not be published until the magazine's internal review.

The entire interview lasted nearly two hours. After the interview was over, the reporter held Wu Jianye's hand and said seriously, "Director Wu, I have to say that you are really courageous!"

Wu Jianye knew that he was referring to the question about Wanwan's actors just now, and said with a smile: "Actually, I hope you can post this question!"

The reporter smiled and didn't say anything more, the parties didn't care, and I, an outsider, had nothing to say.

Then Wu Jianye called Li Na in and sent away the reporter of "Popular Cinema".

Then Wu Jianye put this matter behind him. For him, the most important thing now is the release of the movie "The World of Chu Xing".

Now that it has been decided, the film's premiere ceremony will be held in Yanjing, so Wu Jianye will naturally call to invite some people.

But the first thing to be sure is that the main creators of the film must be present.

First of all, Wu Jianye called Zhou Xingchi who was far away in Xiangjiang. At this time, Zhou Xingchi was filming "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier". Hearing that Wu Jianye asked him to come to Yanjing to attend the premiere of the movie, he naturally had no objections. .

He stated that he would ask for leave with Chen Jia, the director of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier".

If other people were looking for Zhou Xingchi, Chen Jiashang would definitely not have a vacation. After all, Zhou Xingchi's schedule is too tight now, and the time is almost always set.

But who let Wu Jianye speak up!

He Qing and Chen Hong are also fine. Both of them are shooting Tangting Culture's own movie now, and they will definitely come over that day.

Then Wu Jianye called the crew of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". Now Zhang Guoli and others are filming this TV series in Hengdian, and they will definitely come over when the time comes.

As for Wang Zhiwen, there is no problem, after all, the production team of "Have Fun" is in Yanjing!
After the main actors were determined, it was already evening.

Wu Jianye called Dai Zhen and went back to the courtyard.

On the second day, Wu Jianye came to the shooting scene of "Farewell My Concubine".

There are many filming locations for "Farewell My Concubine", but many of the scenes were filmed in the Mei Lanfang Art Museum in Yanjing.

After Wu Jianye came to the scene, he saw the lively scene here, while Zhang Guoyi was holding a cigarette in his hand at this time, wearing a simple sweater, and was learning Peking Opera moves from a Peking Opera master!
"Why do you have time to come here?" Chen Kaige asked in surprise after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It happens that I have nothing to do today, so I came to visit the class!" After speaking, he respectfully greeted the old man next to Chen Kaige.

"Mr. Chen, hello!"

The old man is none other than Chen Kaige's father, Mr. Chen Huaiai.

Mr. Chen Huai'ai is also the art director of this film.

In fact, there are many sayings in later generations. At that time, Chen Kaige's creation encountered a bottleneck, so many people are spreading that the movie "Farewell My Concubine" was actually directed by Chen Huai'ai, and Chen Kaige just hung up. Just a name.

However, Wu Jianye knew that this kind of thing was simply impossible. With so many people present, if Chen Kaige was really named, it was impossible for no one to talk about it.

What's more, according to Chen Kaige's proud personality, it is impossible to do such a thing.

Old Mr. Chen Huai'ai was very energetic, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, but I didn't expect us to see you today."

When "Raise the Red Lantern" was held at Yan Film Studio, Chen Huai'ai went to see this movie, and Wu Jianye had a very high evaluation at that time.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, you are joking, we still have a lot to learn from you seniors!"

Chen Huaiai smiled: "I'm old, and many ideas can't keep up with the current trend. In the future, Huaxia's movies will still depend on you young people!"

At this time, Zhang Guoying also came over, his posture was very different from the Zhang Guoying that Wu Jianye knew before, much more enchanting.

The key is that seeing this kind of enchantment on Zhang Guoyan's body does not feel abrupt at all.

"Director Wu, look at my figure!" After speaking, Zhang Guoying made an orchid finger gesture.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Amazing!"

Zhang Guoyan covered his mouth and smiled lightly, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that although I have learned Yanjing dialect for a long time, I still need to dub it!"

Wu Jianye said: "I can't help it. Although your Mandarin is already at the top among Xiangjiang actors, it is still very different from Yanjing dialect!"

In fact, Zhang Guoyi did use a voice actor in the movie "Farewell My Concubine", and the one who dubbed Zhang Guoyi was Yang Lixin, the one who played the husband of Song Yu in "I Love My Family".

Later his son also became an actor.

Starred in TV series like "Little Husband".

Zhang Guoyi nodded with some regret, and then Wu Jianye explained his intention for coming: "I am here this time to invite you to attend the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing" on September 9!"
