Du Yuan: “…”
Can't refute.
"What about the overseas box office? Director Wei doesn't care?" ... "The overseas box office actually has nothing to do with this."
Wei Jun said: "Most audiences still watch movies, as long as the movie is good enough.
And I'm not really aiming for how much the box office can be abroad. The largest market for Chinese-language films will always be the domestic and international markets, and it's a gradual process.
If I succeed, I am lucky; if I fail, I am doomed. I do not have the idea of conquering the international market, and the international market is not sacred to me."
Wei Jun said it very frankly.
He knows the future global situation.
The confrontation between the United States and China will be the main theme of the next decade, or even the next twenty years.
He is a Chinese, there is no need for him to sit on the fence, and even less need for him to go to the small country of good and ugly.
Moreover, the yellow race is always suppressed in the ugly country, so there is really no need to try hard to please others.
Wouldn’t it be great to be the king of your own territory?
He is not an old-generation director and has no feelings for Hollywood.
Seeing Wei Jun's attitude, Du Yuan was somewhat moved: "Your generation of young directors is completely different from the older generation. You are more confident.
Director Zhang is different. He has already achieved so much, but he still yearns for Hollywood. I feel like he's almost obsessed."
"This is normal. Times are different, and concepts are naturally different."
Wei Jundao.
Zhang Yimou's pursuit of Hollywood is well known.
However, after filming "The Great Wall" in his previous life, Zhang Yimou's Hollywood dream also came to an end.
Without the final editing rights and the right to control, he was completely a tool. The director had no control over how the film would turn out and ultimately made a movie that was out of control.
Since then, Zhang Yimou has given up flattering Hollywood and started to concentrate on making domestic films, which he is good at.
It’s hard to say whether this is a good change, but at least Zhang Yimou is much more productive than before.
Wei Jun exchanged a few polite words with Du Yuan, and then the two of them went straight into the editing room.
Act vigorously and resolutely.
Du Yuan had witnessed Wei Jun's work efficiency.
The two worked day and night for three days, and then Wei Jun was pulled out by Da Tiantian.
"Wei Jun, you need to rest."
fine. "
Wei Jun felt that there was nothing wrong with his body.
Youth has no limits.
Da Tiantian said unhappily, "Even if you have no problem, you should still consider Teacher Du. How old is she? Is she going through the same hardships as you?"
Wei Jun: "...You have a point. Let's go and let Mr. Du rest."
"Teacher Du has gone home to sleep."
Da Tiantian said.
Wei Jun: “…”
"You should also go home and sleep, then rest for two days.
The editing work is mainly done by Teacher Du. It is useless for you to stay in the editing room all the time, and it will bring extra pressure to Teacher Du.
Come visit our crew and give Director Li some support and encouragement. Director Li seems to be losing control of the crew lately."
Da Tiantian said.
Wei Jun was stunned: What's wrong with Director Li? "There are too many big names on the crew, he can't control them."
Da Tiantian said directly: "I encountered the same problem as you did when filming "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", but Director Li does not have your qualifications and achievements, so he can't be so tough, so the operation of the crew is a bit bumpy.
Wei Jun frowned.
But it's not surprising.
Director Li, Li Wenbing, served as the screenwriter of the crime drama "Storm Court" in 1999.
In 004, he directed the TV series "Extraordinary Report".
In 011, he wrote and directed the crime film "Watchmen: Lost in Crime".
Then there is nothing.
What made Li Wenbing famous in the industry was actually his next film, Witness. Witness cannot be called a classic crime suspense film, but it is indeed a good one among domestic films.
It was because of "Eyewitness" that Wei Jun asked Li Wenbing to be the director of "The Age of Sin".
But let alone the current Li Wenbing, even Li Wenbing after the release of "Eyewitness", it would be difficult for him to suppress the four little beauties.
The crew is a small entertainment circle, and whoever has the bigger status has the final say.
Although the director is nominally in charge, what kind of deterrent power can a small director who has not yet made a name for himself have when facing four young and popular actresses?
I'm afraid even the young actresses won't take him seriously.
But this caused problems for the crew's filming.
"You actresses, why do you have so many things to do?"
Wei Jun complained.
Da Tiantian didn't like what she said: "I listened to you and always behaved well on the set. If I hadn't supported Director Li, the crew would have disbanded long ago.
The problem lies with Liu Yifei, her sweetheart and Liu Shishi. The relationship between these three people is not good. In the crew, they are just like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their own magical powers, and Director Li has no control over them at all.
Wei Jun glanced at Da Tiantian and asked, "How do you know that the three of them don't have a good relationship with each other?"
Da Tiantian spread her hands: Because each of them has complained to me about the other two people.
Wei Jun: “…”
Good guy.
This is so true.
“Wei Jun, you really need to go, otherwise the crew of “Era of Sin” will get out of control sooner or later.
You try to keep them all equal, but each of them wants to stand out.
The director's decision doesn't count at all. It would be strange if the movie turned out well."
Da Tiantian said.
Don't you still have it?" Wei Jun said.
Da Tiantian said innocently: "Every one of them is my friend, and I have a good relationship with them, so I am too embarrassed to say anything about them.
Wei Jun: "..."
The more I listened, the more real it became.
They have the style of the plastic sisters in the entertainment industry.
"I understand. Tell Director Li that I'll visit the set the day after tomorrow.
"okay."
Da Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this time she was sent by Li Wenbing specifically to ask for help.
The open and secret struggles between Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi have seriously affected the filming of the crew.
It would be fine if these three female stars were competing with each other to see who has better acting skills.
But they don't have any acting skills.
So we can only work on other aspects.
This makes it very difficult for the crew to operate.
A crappy crew is now starting to take sides, and Li Wenbing is also very desperate.
He knew it was shameful for the director to lose control of the crew.
The problem is that with his qualifications, facing so many big-name female stars, he feels that no one else can control them.
We can only seek help from outside.
It turns out that this method is really effective.
When the three girls heard that Wei Jun was coming to visit the crew, they became very well-behaved a day in advance and cooperated very well during the filming.
Li Wenbing, who was cooperating, felt sad.
“We are both directors, but the difference in treatment is huge.
Wei Jun hasn't even arrived yet, and everyone is already trying to be more obedient than the other."
Li Wenbing complained.
The assistant director felt the same way: "Yeah, comparing yourself to others is really frustrating.
You see, they used to act so arrogantly on the set, but now that they heard Director Wei is coming, they're all more ladylike than the other."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Li Wenbing said, "They still pay a lot of attention to superficiality, and if they want to compete, they do it in private."
However, this also affected the filming of the crew.
Li Wenbing now doesn't dare to praise any of the three of them for their good performance.
Because praising one person is equivalent to offending the other two.
This director is so humble.
Looking at how Wei Jun was treated and then thinking about his own situation, Li Wenbing felt more and more sad.
But the Lord of Wei was kind to him.
He himself knew that if "The Age of Sin" could be filmed well, he would be able to become famous in the circle.
So although he envied Wei Jun's treatment, he did not blame Wei Jun.
"Forget it, stop complaining and just shoot well.
Director Wei started his production later than us, with a bigger budget, and has already finished a movie. If "Era of Sin" doesn't start filming soon, I won't be able to face Director Wei anymore."
Li Wenbing said.
Taking advantage of the fact that the three women were now intimidated by Wei Jun's power and were becoming more and more obedient, Li Wenbing sped up the filming progress.
They are not afraid of Li Wenbing, but they have to give face to Wei Jun.
At this stage, even if Wei Jun's next movie fails, he will still be a director at the top of the food chain in the circle.
It would take several consecutive failures for the King of Wei to be affected in his status.
Moreover, Wei Jun's next movie will be a combination of Wei Jun and Jackie Chan, so it is difficult for them to fail no matter how you look at it.
So the deterrent power of King Wei is really great.
Everyone on the crew felt this.
When Wei Jun really came to visit the crew of "Sin Age", the entire crew deeply felt Wei Jun's influence.
The three young actresses who had basically ignored each other actually showed their sisterly love in a rare display after Wei Jun arrived. On the surface, it was not even possible to tell that they were not getting along.
Obviously, they also realized that Wei Jun was dissatisfied with the filming progress.
So no one dared to offend Wei Jun.
Fortunately, the King of Wei did not send troops to punish him.
He briefly chatted with Li Wenbing, then took the initiative to ask, "Director Li, I haven't worked with so many beautiful female stars. Can you let me satisfy my desire to be a director?"
