Chapter 804 Invitation to the Three Major Film Festivals

Among the Chinese movie stars in another time and space, only Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runfa have truly made their name in Hollywood!
Among them, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are more likely to gain a foothold in Hollywood because of the particularity of their own films, while Chow Yun-fat is much worse. In the middle and late 90s, Zhou Runfa started to enter Hollywood, but in fact he has not found a suitable acting path.

Especially in the early stage, most of the participants were independent films or B-level films, and they couldn't participate in A-level productions at all. In fact, Hollywood studios also took a fancy to Zhou Runfa's reputation in Asia, and most of the films they asked him to shoot were for Catering to the Asian market or repeating his own old tricks.

In the end, it was "Anna and the King" that gave Zhou Runfa a real foothold in Hollywood, and then he participated in Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before he became a real star, but it was just an ordinary star.

Zhou Xingchi's situation is actually similar to that of Zhou Runfa. The two people's current acting style is not suitable for Hollywood style. Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy is because Xiangjiang has that culture, and Hollywood comedy and Zhou Xingchi's nonsensical comedy are actually very different.

If Zhou Xingchi can't find the matching point in the middle, the Hollywood road is likely to become a replica of Zhou Runfa
In another time and space, it was Zhang Guoyi who was truly transparent. After "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Guoyi actually received an invitation from Hollywood. However, Zhang Guoyi was more aware of where his roots were, so he did not agree to Hollywood. invitation.

Wu Jianye said so much to Zhou Xingchi, in fact, it was to remind Zhou Xingchi not to be dazzled by the victory in front of him.

In the end Zhou Xingchi accepted Wu Jianye's suggestion and said, "Then I understand, I will think about it when I go back!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and finally said: "Well, if you have a better future, the company will not stop you, but I still hope that you can have better considerations for your future!"

After finishing the promotion in North America, Wu Jianye took Zhou Xingchi and others to start a promotion tour in Europe.

The first stop is England!
However, the only propagandists accompanying him this time were He Qing, Chen Hong, and Zhang Guoli, as well as Zhou Huimin, who was currently serving as Wu Jianye's personal assistant.

Zhou Xingchi returned to Hong Kong to promote "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier"!

After arriving in England, Wu Jianye took everyone to a meeting, and then took Zhou Huimin to David Wallop's manor.

"David, thank you for what happened last time!"

In David Wallop's manor, in order to welcome Wu Jianye, David Wallop specially held a dance party, but because most people don't know Wu Jianye's real identity, so for Wu Jianye The director just nodded for David Wallop's face.

Wu Jianye didn't care about that either. If he had to describe Yinglun, he would be a somewhat downcast nobleman. He had lost the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, but they still thought they were still in glory.
I came to see David Wallop this time to thank you for what happened last time. Last time in China, when Wu Jianye, Zhang Guoying and Zhou Xingchi visited the Great Wall, they met a few British people and started a fight. Wu Jianye Called David Wallop to check on them.

"Haha, Wu, you are too polite, aren't we friends!" David Wallop said with a smile.

David Wallop is a very realistic aristocrat, which means that he is different from other aristocrats in England. First of all, he is very suspicious of Wu Jianye's real strength, especially the three major members of Xiangjiang Yaoguang, Yiwang, and Fengge Media. Regarding the ownership of the group, he had always suspected that the three major groups belonged to Wu Jianye.

Secondly, even if Wu Jianye is not the boss behind these three major groups, just based on the box office share of the movie "Jurassic Park", Wu Jianye is already a billionaire. Big respect.

Wu Jianye also smiled and said: "Yes, we are very good friends!"

Zhou Huimin watched Wu Jianye chatting and laughing with David Wallop here, and she was also very curious. It may be because she is from Xiangjiang, and she has a very complicated feeling for England. When Zhou Huimin was young, British people The status in Xiangjiang is very high.

But now seeing this British nobleman and Wu Jianye as good friends, it feels a little strange.

After attending David Wallop's ball, Wu Jianye and others were supposed to go to other European countries to continue their promotional tour, but Wu Jianye took Zhou Huimin to Edinburgh, Scotland.

Zhao Xiaofeng is currently studying at the University of Edinburgh here, and Wu Jianye also specially came to see her.

The University of Edinburgh was established in 1583. Its original name was Downes College. It is the sixth university in the English-speaking world. Den Brown both came from the University of Edinburgh.

By the way, JK Rowling, who was plagiarized by Wu Jianye from the "Harry Potter Series", and Conan Doyle, who wrote the famous "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", also came from this university!

At the same time, there are also many outstanding people in China who have studied Chinese studies here, such as the respected academician!
It can be said that the University of Edinburgh has a very high reputation in the European university circles.

Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin strolled on the campus of the University of Edinburgh, watching the students here in a hurry, Zhou Huimin showed a trace of envy in his eyes.

She never went to college, she participated in the Rookie Singing Contest at the age of 18, and it has always been her regret not to go to college.

"After I quit the entertainment circle, I will find a university to enrich myself!" Zhou Huimin said enviously, holding Wu Jianye's arm.

Wu Jianye said: "Yes, Xiangjiang is too small, and the development of the entertainment industry has reached its peak. In fact, there is no potential for development!"

Zhou Huimin looked up at Wu Jianye in surprise. Others didn't know, but she knew clearly that Wu Jianye was the boss behind Fengge Media. As the boss of Xiangjiang's largest media group, he even said that Xiangjiang's entertainment industry was gone. Development potential, if other people hear this, it will definitely be extremely shocking.

"But the development of Xiangjiang is obviously very good now?"

"Hehe." Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That's all. You see, Fengge Cinema Line has not established a new theater in Xiangjiang in the past two years, which shows that the potential of Xiangjiang film industry has almost been tapped. As for the music industry, there will be another seven or eight years, and no one will come out!"

In the 21st century, there are indeed no influential newcomers in the Xiangjiang music scene. Chef Xie can be said to be the last top-ranked singer in the Xiangjiang music circle, and Fei Chen is the last pride of the Xiangjiang music scene. As for the others Neither is reaching the same height as the two of them.

Instead, they were caught up by Wanwan's music circle.

"No way, there are quite a few newcomers coming out of the Xiangjiang music scene!" Zhou Huimin said seriously.

Wu Jianye explained: "There are indeed many new singers, but there are no newcomers to the music producers behind the scenes. When the current generation of producers enters their creative trough, there will be no successors in Xiangjiang's music circle at that time. Already!"

Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui and others are getting old, and the creators of the Xiangjiang music scene are also short of successors. Except for Lin Xi, there is no one who can make a difference.

Zhou Huimin nodded. Although she still thought what Wu Jianye said was exaggerated, she habitually agreed with Wu Jianye's opinion.

"Then how about I retire after working for two more years?" Zhou Huimin also had the idea of ​​retiring.

Wu Jianye nodded indifferently, and said, "As long as you are happy, I will support you in whatever you do!"

The life trajectory of Zhou Huimin in this life is very different from that of Zhou Huimin in another time and space. In another time and space, Zhou Huimin had already retired, but in the end because Mr. Ni was not up to date, he had to come back to support his family. Now Wu Jianye will definitely not Let Zhou Huimin have this possibility.

"elder brother!"

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind the two of them.

Wu Jianye looked back and saw that it was Zhao Xiaofeng. Zhao Xiaofeng was wearing a white down jacket and slim-fit jeans, but her hair was cut short, so that it became ear-length hair.

"Why did you cut your hair!" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

Zhao Xiaofeng stroked her hair and smiled, "If it's in the way, I'll cut it off!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Xiaofeng also saw Zhou Huimin next to Wu Jianye. This was the first time Zhao Xiaofeng saw Zhou Huimin, but when she was in China, Zhao Xiaofeng listened to a lot of Zhou Huimin's songs and was a die-hard fan of Zhou Huimin.

"Are you Zhou Huimin?" Zhao Xiaofeng said excitedly.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "This is my sister Zhao Xiaofeng."

Zhou Huimin smiled: "Xiaofeng, hello!"

"Wow, you are really Zhou Huimin!" Like an ordinary fan, Zhao Xiaofeng excitedly grabbed Zhou Huimin's hand and directly pushed Wu Jianye to the other side.

The next thing was much simpler, Zhao Xiaofeng pulled Zhou Huimin to ask all kinds of weird things, among them was the process of Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin getting acquainted.

Zhao Xiaofeng knew about his cousin's temperament long ago, so Zhao Xiaofeng didn't take the matter of having an extra woman by his side long ago.

Wu Jianye followed behind the two of them, seeing how the two were chatting enthusiastically, he smiled and said nothing.

In the end, Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin, led by Zhao Xiaofeng, came to a western restaurant near the University of Edinburgh. In fact, Zhao Xiaofeng wanted to eat Chinese food, but they couldn't find an authentic Chinese restaurant here, so they might as well eat some western food .

During the meal, Wu Jianye asked Zhao Xiaofeng what he meant by whether he would return to China for the Chinese New Year this year.

Zhao Xiaofeng chuckled and said, "Come back, I'm still going to see how my father urges my sister to marry me!"

Zhao Xiaoyan's marriage has become a headache for my uncle and aunt, and marriage urging has become a must-have program for them every year!

However, when Zhao Xiaofeng found out that Wu Jianye was going to bring their family to Lin'an for the New Year, she excitedly said: "Brother, I will go there with my parents when the time comes!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't, I still want to live a quiet year!"

Regarding the New Year's Eve in Lin'an, Wu Jianye had originally planned for them to spend a New Year's Eve without being disturbed by anyone. Naturally, the fewer people going there, the better.

Zhao Xiaofeng pouted
After eating a western meal with Zhao Xiaofeng, and then telling Zhao Xiaofeng not to do those messy things here, Wu Jianye took Zhou Huimin back to London to continue their promotional tour.

In Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and other countries, Wu Jianye would stay in almost every country for two days in order to promote "The World of Chu Xing".

"Wu, the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is a very good movie. You and our Berlin Film Festival are also old friends. I very much hope that you can bring this movie to the Berlin Film Festival next year!"

When Wu Jianye was promoting "The World of Chu Xing" in Berlin, the Berlin Film Festival specially found Wu Jianye, hoping that Wu Jianye could take "The World of Chu Xing" to participate in next year's Berlin Film Festival.

The three major European film festivals, as the world's most famous film festivals, are actually competing secretly, and now Wu Jianye is the object they are striving for. Two years ago, Wu Jianye directed "The Love of Ghosts" and " Jurassic Park, but because these two films are relatively commercial, they did not participate in the three major European film festivals.

But these two movies have brought Wu Jianye a higher reputation. Now Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" has been released in Europe, and it was immediately rated as the best combination of business and art. One of the movies, they naturally hope to invite Wu Jianye to participate in their film festival.

It can be said that at the three major European film festivals at this time, no matter who invites Wu Jianye, they can immediately attract great attention. Now Wu Jianye's influence can no longer be simply distinguished by Eastern directors or Western directors up.

As long as Wu Jianye can be invited, movie fans from east and west will pay close attention to it!
Berlin was Wu Jianye's second stop in Europe, so they naturally contacted Wu Jianye immediately.

Wu Jianye didn't reject the other party, but he didn't agree to the other party either. He just smiled and said, "If this film wants to participate in that country's film festival, I actually need to discuss it with China Film after I return to China. After all, our domestic films have to participate in the film festival." European film festivals need the consent of China Film Group!"

The answer is more official, but it also confirms Wu Jianye's attitude. Wu Jianye has already considered this matter before. For the three major film festivals in Europe, Wu Jianye has actually proved himself. No need to work on it any more.

Leave everything to China Film to decide.

This can also make the relationship between myself and China Film Group more reliable. After all, this kind of thing can also reflect the authority of China Film Group in China.

When Wu Jianye came to Italy, two groups of people found Wu Jianye.
