Puyi once again came to the Forbidden City where he once lived. It was originally a review of his life, but he didn't expect that when he came here again, Lu Zhonglin walked towards him.
Lu Zhonglin naturally saw Pu Yi, and the two walked across from each other.
Lu Zhonglin: "Mr. Puyi, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Pu Yi sighed: "Yes, there is no place in life where we don't meet each other!"
After some pleasantries, Lu Zhonglin asked Puyi: "Do you still remember what I said back then?"
Pu Yi: "I remember very clearly. At that time, I said I wanted to be a common people, but to be honest, that was not what I had in mind at the time."
Lu Zhonglin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Pu Yi, and then the two laughed together, and then the camera slowly zoomed out...
.......
The lights in the screening room were turned on, and many people stood up. I don't know who was the first to applaud, and then the entire screening room applauded for the movie...
Hong Huang glanced at his watch and said in surprise: "It's been more than three hours?"
Chen Kaige shook his head, and the pressure in his heart rose again. He did not expect that Wu Jianye would film Puyi's life in such a way, which involved a variety of filming, including war scenes and heart-warming scenes.
, the love between men and women......
The whole movie makes people feel like they have returned to that era and followed Puyi through his life. Such ability made Chen Kaige suddenly lose so much confidence in himself!
Can he really surpass Lao Wu?
With this question in mind, Chen Kaige and Hong Huang walked out of Yanying Factory.
At this time, Wu Jianye chatted with Mr. Xia again. This was also the first time for these teachers to watch this movie.
"We people can retire with peace of mind!" Mr. Xia sighed.
Shen Yansheng smiled and said: "Xiao Wu, it's a good thing that you are also a teacher in our college, so you have time to go back to school more often to teach the students!"
At that time, Mr. Wang Lanxi called Wu Jianye aside and said: "Xiao Wu, I think your shooting of war scenes is also very good. Do you have any ideas to shoot some war scenes to show the style of our country's people's soldiers?
"
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "Mr. Wang, it's impossible to say that I don't have any ideas, but now I think my ability is still somewhat insufficient. I want to wait and wait until I feel that I have this ability.
try!"
Wang Lanxi nodded and said, "Okay, I hope this time won't be too long!"
Wu Jianye then invited Mr. Wang to attend a dinner party he specially prepared for the release, but Mr. Wang ultimately refused and took the lead in saying goodbye to everyone and leaving.
Later, Mr. Xia and others left.
They are already old and will not participate in these scenes. It is very rare to be able to come and watch this movie in person on the day of screening.
Wu Jianye, teacher Zhao Ming and others came to the hotel together. Wu Jianye thanked all the teachers for their help in this film, as well as the efforts of many people in front of and behind the scenes...
Naturally, it was impossible to drink too much on such an occasion. At about nine o'clock in the evening, everyone dispersed.
When Wu Jian returned to the courtyard at night, Zhu Hao was not sleeping yet.
After seeing Wu Jianye, he curled his lips and asked: "How is the effect of the movie?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's not bad, everyone is quite satisfied!"
Zhu Xian gave Wu Jianye a slight slap and said, "It's all you. I said I would go to the screening too, but you didn't let me go!"
Wu Jianye immediately called out to Qu: "Is it me who doesn't let you go? It's the two queen mothers who don't let you go, okay? I won't take the blame for this!"
This afternoon, Zhu Xian packed himself up early and was going to go to Yan Film Studio with Wu Jianye to watch it. However, when the two queen mothers heard that there were so many people to go and they had to sit for such a long time, they immediately stood up and expressed their opinions.
He objected. Before Zhu Xian could say a word, he was killed by the two empress dowagers.
At that time, he looked at Wu Jianye pitifully and asked for help. As a result, Wu Jianye was kicked out by the two empress dowagers before Wu Jianye opened his mouth. He had no right to speak at all...
"How will we live in the future?" Zhu Hao sat on the sofa with a look of despair, "It's not even three months yet."
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I can't help it. In the past few months, you are a national treasure, and they are the national treasure keepers. I am at most a tourist. I can only visit through the glass, and I don't even have the right to feed."
of tourists.”
Zhu Xian rolled his eyes at Wu Jianye, his eyes showing pity, and Wu Jianye could only do nothing to help him.
.......
The release of "The Movie" soon set off a whirlwind of movie-watching across the country, and the extent of this whirlwind even exceeded Wu Jianye's expectations.
Soon the number of copies produced by China Film Group increased crazily.
First there was an increase of 50, 50, and finally it was even an increase of 100, 100. By the end of the screening, the number of copies sold was a record of more than 500...
And most importantly, its release attracted the attention and reports of various domestic newspapers.
"This is a movie that was ahead of its time!"——
"History's last slave!"——
"Pu Yi's life was a great change in China!"——
.......
Not only did major newspapers and magazines have long reviews of this movie, but they also reported on the movie.
These reports are similar to the movie promotions of later generations, except that these do not cost money, while those of later generations cost money, so all of this makes this movie a hit movie in this era!
Soon some viewers who watched the movie sent letters to Tangting Culture!
In these letters, Wu Jianye learned the reasons why everyone liked this movie. First of all, the filming of this movie was very successful. Whether it was the performance of the characters or the magnificent scenes, the audience was mesmerized.
But there are other reasons for this, that is, the production of the entire movie is obviously more sophisticated than other domestic movies, with exquisite costumes, authentic Forbidden City, and everyone's curiosity about the life of the last emperor of China, all integrated into it.
in this movie.
This is why everyone likes this movie.
Nowadays, domestic studios are based on the principle of saving money, so they are not so particular about many details. Even the makeup of the characters is often done by the actors themselves. This is
It makes this movie even more precious.
At the same time, after the audience gave positive responses, domestic executives also gained confidence in the film and hoped to use it to establish a brand for Chinese films. Therefore, major official media also praised the film.
Such a cycle has naturally led to the film's growing influence in the country.
During this period, Wu Jianye received congratulatory calls from all over the country almost every day. Most of them were his classmates and former students. Some of these students now have their own identities in major studios.
status.
While congratulating, he also expressed to Wu Jianye that he hopes to cooperate with Tangting Culture. Everyone knows that at this time, Tangting Culture has cooperated with film companies in Hong Kong and the United States. There is no shortage of money, and Wu Jianye has the golden name.
Shop sign.
In the Chinese film market, which has gradually begun to decline, Wu Jianye and Tangting Culture have gradually become an indispensable force in Chinese films!
During this period, Chen Kaige has also been involved in Tangting Culture.
The most important thing is that I want to borrow the post-production studio of Tangting Culture for my own post-production. This also leads to some behind-the-scenes people who often come to Tangting Culture.
Among them is the photographer Gu Changwei.
In Wu Jianye's office, Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei were sitting on the sofa, chatting with Wu Jianye.
"Old Wu, I heard that your film is going to be sent to Hong Kong, Hong Kong, and Cannes for exhibition?" Chen Kaige asked.
Although Chen Kaige has a literary temperament, he is not as indifferent to fame and fortune as he should be. He has always been very enthusiastic about the pursuit of awards.
"Yes, we have already discussed it with the leaders of China Film Group. However, because this film is not a domestically owned film, and the copyright belongs to Phantom Entertainment, participating in the awards does not actually require the consent of the leaders of China Film Group!" Wu Jianye explained.
road.
Gu Changwei sighed: "I didn't expect that just a few years after graduation, many of our classmates were still struggling to qualify. You, Lao Wu, have already directed movies worth more than 20 million US dollars!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Others said that, and that's what they said. It's no longer interesting if you are sour. The ones who came out of our photography department this time belong to the development of you, Xiao Feifei and Lao Mouzi."
The best!”
Gu Changwei smiled reservedly, because Wu Jianye was indeed telling the truth. While others still had to go through qualifications, he had already participated in the filming of several movies.
"By the way, are you going to send this one out for exhibition?" Wu Jianye asked.
Chen Kaige nodded and said: "But I guess I won't be able to catch up with you. The post-production of this movie is very troublesome. It will probably have to wait until the second half of the year to complete the post-production."
Wu Jianye was slightly startled: "It's so troublesome and it will take longer than the later period?"
Chen Kaige said reservedly: "In this movie, except for the old man played by Xie Wan, who is a professional actor, the others are all amateur actors. There are many problems that need to be corrected in post-production."
Gu Changwei laughed and said: "Xie Wan suffered a lot this time to shoot this movie. It makes people happy to watch it!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "What kind of sin did he suffer? It makes me happy to tell you!"
"In order to accurately grasp the physical condition of the character Lao Gan, Xie Wan didn't take a shower for three months during the first location shoot, and he didn't take a shower for two months during the second location shoot. In order to keep the skin
To tan, he shed his skin twice!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I said some time ago, when he came to my place, he always had a smell on his body."
"Ha ha!"
The three of them laughed for a while, and Hong Huang also ran to Tangting Culture. Since establishing a relationship with Chen Kaige, Hong Huang would go to Tangting Culture to find Chen Kaige whenever he had some free time. He and Gu Changwei also met Hong Huang.
phoenix.
Gu Changwei complained to Wu Jianye more than once: "Kai Ge, why are you with her?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Everyone likes radish and green vegetables."
Gu Changwei curled his lips and didn't say anything, but Gu Changwei didn't take this kind of thing very seriously. Regardless of Gu Changwei's appearance, he was actually a very fun-loving person, even after marrying his wife.
, according to rumors, the two also live a life of non-interference with each other...
"What are you talking about? You are so happy!" After Hong Huang came to the office, he squeezed Gu Changwei away, sat next to Chen Kaige, and hugged Chen Kaige's arm skillfully.
Chen Kaige was not used to being so close to Hong Huang in public, and his body felt slightly unnatural.
"Nothing, just chat!" Chen Kaige said.
"By the way, there is a party tonight, why don't you come over together?" Hong Huang said with a smile.
As a woman who has been completely westernized in her behavior and work, Hong Huang is very keen on organizing this kind of party, which is not popular in China at this time, and often organizes people around her to get together.
Gu Changwei's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "Okay."
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile: "I'll forget it, I have to go back early in the evening. My family is very busy during this time and I can't leave!"
This is not Wu Jianye's deliberate refusal. The main reason is that now that there are two queen mothers and one national treasure at home, Wu Jianye really does not have time to go out. He even has much less time to go to Li Xiuming during this period, let alone attend Honghuang
's party.
Chen Kaige shook his mouth. He didn't want to think about it at first, but when he thought about the relationship he had just established with Hong Huang, he had no choice but to agree, so he didn't say anything else.
After chatting for a while, Hong Huang took Chen Kaige and Gu Changwei to the party, while Wu Jianye returned to the courtyard.
Zhao Lei and Chai Ou's honeymoon trip was also over. When Wu Jianye came back, he happened to see them coming with gifts.
But it seems that Chai Ou's expression is not very beautiful.
Zhao Lei carried the gift alone and followed behind. Chai Ou walked in front. After seeing Zhu Hao, he smiled warmly and asked about Zhu Hao's situation.
At the end of November in Yanjing, it was already very cold outside. Zhu Hao just walked in the yard for a while, and then went back to the house to chat with Chai Ou.
Zhao Lei followed Wu Jianye to the study.
"What's wrong?" Wu Jianye asked curiously when they were alone.
"Xiao Ou knows that I bought Miaomiao an apartment and a car in the United States, and he is angry with me!" Zhao Lei said helplessly.
Wu Jianye smiled and did not continue the topic. It was impossible for him to get involved in this kind of thing.
This time Zhao Lei went to the United States, it was still Linda who arranged for them. It happened that Linda called Wu Jianye during this time and wanted to report on the development of Phantom Entertainment and this year's financial situation. Wu Jianye thought that the explanation on the phone was unclear.
, let Linda make a report and give it to Zhao Lei to take back.
