The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 480 Wu Yusen: I’m not as good as him
"Lee Sing-yew: Film industrialization is the ultimate goal of Chinese-language films."

"Lee Shengyao's ambition shocked the entire Chinese film and television industry."

"An extraordinary article, Lee Sheng Yew pointed out the development direction of Chinese-language films."

"Lee Sing-yew has become an honorary professor of Chinese Drama. He is well-deserved. The first lecture shocked everyone."

"Feng Xiaogang: I support Director Li's idea. We should make movies more scientifically and rationally."

"Zhang Yimou: The article is very high-level. Director Li's article has great guiding significance for mainland film production."

"Wang Baoqiang: After reading Director Li's article, I want to be a director. I hope I can use the knowledge and experience in it in the future."

"Having also made movies in Hollywood, Lee Sheng-yew is more conscientious than Wu Yusen. He shared his creative experience."

……

Li Shengyao's lectures on Chinese opera were quickly circulated. Mainland newspapers, as long as they had an entertainment section, would basically publish Director Li's articles and praise them highly.

In the afternoon of this day, at a studio in the suburbs of Hengdian, the crew of "Sword Rain" was filming a set of indoor scenes.

This sequence of scenes is not very important and was shot by the assistant director.

Su Zhaobin, the director of "Sword Rain", came to the lounge, lying on a chair, blowing on the fan, reading the newspaper, and being lazy for a while.

Su Zhaobin is just 40 years old this year. He wears a pair of glasses and looks elegant.

"Sword Rain" is a martial arts movie with an investment of over [-] million. It uses many actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places, including Yang Ziqiong who went to Hollywood to develop his career.

There are many stars, but Su Zhaobin is not a big-name director, so these stars will not accommodate him, but he will accommodate the stars.

This caused the crew to constantly adjust the shooting time. Sometimes they were in a hurry, and sometimes they were very leisurely.

Most of the time it's quite a rush.

Su Zhaobin's workload is naturally much greater.

Moreover, this movie is a big production that he has been waiting for for a long time, and he hopes it will be a success.

When he has time, he will think about the script and how to make it better.

This has made him very tired in recent months and his whole body is in a tense state.

By the end of April, the filming of "Sword Rain" was finally in its final stages.

Su Zhaobin had more free time at this time, so he could relax a little. He liked reading newspapers and wanted to know what was happening outside, so he asked his assistant to buy a lot of newspapers and read them when he had time.

At this time, he was lying on the chair, looked at it for a while, suddenly sat up, then grabbed the newspaper with both hands, and started reading seriously.

The news he watched was Li Shengyao's lecture, a paper on the industrialization of Chinese films.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Su Zhaobin immediately threw the newspaper aside.

"Snapped!"

He was so nervous that he originally wanted to throw it on the table, but ended up throwing it on the floor.

Su Zhaobin stood up immediately, then picked up the newspaper and placed it on the table.

"Read the newspaper?"

Wu Yusen's voice sounded.

Old Wu came over. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes. Although he didn't have much hair, it was still carefully combed and looked very formal.

Wu Yusen is the producer of "Sword Rain". In fact, "Sword Rain" was able to be launched mainly because Wu Yusen's reputation attracted investment.

Wu Yusen did not start a movie this year. He often came to the "Sword Rain" crew to guide Su Zhaobin.

Su Zhaobin was very grateful to Wu Yusen. He had just read the news.

There is a point of view that Wu Yusen went to Hollywood before, but he did not publish a paper like Li Shengyao to help the growth of Chinese-language films. The editor who wrote the article believed that Wu Yusen did not sincerely love Chinese movies.Su Zhaobin felt that it was best not to let Wu Yusen see this news to avoid embarrassment.

"Well, it's all boring news."

Wu Yusen smiled, "The newspapers in the mainland are better than those in Wanwan. The newspapers here are more concerned with international affairs and have richer content. They won't be talking about grandparents' lost cats and dogs all day long, or which toilet sprays feces." Such news."

Lao Wu has lived in Wanwan, and he knows the personality of Wanwan News very well.

Prime time news is all about trivial matters.

Su Zhaobin nodded and smiled, "You're right, I'll pour you tea."

"No need, I'll just come and have a seat."

Despite what Wu Yusen said, Su Zhaobin still got up and went to get the hot water bottle. When he came back, he saw Wu Yusen holding the newspaper he had just read and looking down.

I couldn't see Wu Yusen's expression, but the lounge was very quiet, and there was no sound from Old Wu's side.

Su Zhaobin made tea with a wry smile, and then poured a cup of tea for Wu Yusen.

"Director Wu, they are all messed up people. You don't need to pay attention to what they say."

Wu Yusen raised his head, his expression was indeed not very good.

The editor of this article really got it right. When Lao Wu came back from Hollywood, he thought more about whether he could return to the ranks of top directors, and then he helped young actors in Hong Kong Island.

As for what will happen to Chinese-language movies, he doesn't care.

He has been in Hollywood for about ten years and certainly knows how it works.

But Lao Wu has never thought about introducing the Chinese film and television industry. In this regard, he is indeed inferior to Li Shengyao.

"This person is right. Lee Sheng-yew is more generous and broad-minded than me. He thinks about the entire Chinese film and television industry. I don't have the same sentiments as him."

Su Zhaobin heard this and glanced at Wu Yusen secretly.

He thought of Li Shengyao's argument.

So will Wu Yusen, who has been in Hollywood for a longer time, recognize the development path of film industrialization?
"Director Wu, are Li Shengyao's claims exaggerated?"

Li Shengyao's point of view is that everyone should perform their duties and improve efficiency.

Su Zhaobin has never been in Hollywood, and he actually thinks it makes sense. But since Wu Yusen is here, he feels that he should say something bad about Lee Sheng Yew.

Wu Yusen thought for a while, "That's not true. What he said makes sense. I know that if I were to sort out these things, it would take at least two or three months. These arguments compiled by Li Shengyao are all our development goals. This time he is really serious about it. If you have time to watch it more, it will be good for future film and television productions."

Su Zhaobin nodded, "I know."

Wu Yusen then lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

The lounge became quiet again, and Su Zhaobin felt very embarrassed.

He guessed that Wu Yusen should be a little touched by this article. He was not sure what Wu Yusen was feeling at this time.

After a while, Wu Yusen finally stood up. He picked up another newspaper and quickly found the news that published Li Shengyao's essay.

"His paper is very valuable. Li Shengyao is indeed great. He has done a great thing that is beneficial to the entire Chinese film industry. I want to read more and absorb the nutrients."

Su Zhaobin couldn't help but look over and was shocked to see Wu Yusen's sincere face. He was also someone who had been in Hollywood.

Li Shengyao only had three years, and Wu Yusen had ten years.

In terms of film and television production, Li Shengyao is more precise and scientific, which even Wu Yusen, a senior, has to learn from.

It has to be said that some people are really talented, and age cannot be used to judge their strength.
