Chapter 602 Soft Rice King Wu Jianye (4100+ chapters~)
Linda continues to negotiate with Orion Pictures regarding the rights to "Fantastic Four".
Wu Jianye also continued filming "The Love of Ghosts", as if everything was back on track, but neither of them thought that some people and things were slowly approaching them.
The filming of "The Last Day" also went more and more smoothly. As Mel Gibson and Tony Goldwyn's performances became more proficient, there were fewer and fewer problems during the filming.
At least it has been two and a half weeks since filming started, and the issues that Wu Jianye was worried about before have not yet arisen, such as Mel Gibson and Isabelle Adjani's suggestions on the content of the movie.
and control over performance intensity.
During the preparation of the movie, Isabel Adjani and Wu Jianye had a quarrel over the style of the movie. At that time, Isabel Adjani wanted to make the movie deeper, but Wu Jianye rejected it.
Nowadays, Isabel Adjani's performance is very consistent with Wu Jianye's image of Molly in the movie. Isabel Adjani has no problem with her acting skills. Although the original Demi Moore is also a very famous actor in Hollywood,
Through observations over the past few days, Wu Jianye determined that Isabel Adjani's performance was better than Demi Moore's.
However, as Wu Jianye thought, nothing can be smooth sailing. As the filming progressed, after finishing the day's shooting, Isabel Adjani found Wu Jianye again, hoping to improve the original plot.
Add some presentation about Molly's inner drama.
"The scene where Molly makes ceramics alone is already very good. There is no need to add extra scenes. This will change the structure of the entire movie!" Wu Jianye did not agree to Isabel Adjani's suggestion.
However, Isabel Adjani still insists on her own idea: "But this will make Molly's character more three-dimensional in front of the audience, and it will also make the core of the whole movie, the element of love, more unforgettable.
!”
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "I understand what you mean, but have you ever thought about it. If Molly's inner drama is added, it will give the audience a sense of indifference. If for this inner drama,
, adding other people's roles will make the entire movie last more than 120 minutes, which will make the audience feel dragged out!"
Isabel Adjani said stubbornly: "Why should we consider the audience's thoughts? Shouldn't everything we do should make the characters in the movie more complete? When the characters are fuller, the story will be more complete.
How could the audience feel dragged out at that time?”
If Wu Jianye and Isabelle Adjani were discussing whether to make Molly's character more fleshed out, it would be better to say that they were discussing the style of the film.
Most of the film roles played by Isabelle Adjani before were more in literary and artistic films. Such films pay more attention to the shaping of characters. If the director is an thoughtful director, he will also experiment in narrative methods.
.
For example, some directors like to shoot a movie in a multi-linear manner, and will present multiple clues in a 120-minute movie to present the story they want to present.
However, this type of movie often leaves many viewers confused and confused.
Some directors like to explore the inner characters of the characters and make the characters in the movie the focus of the entire movie by showing the character's personality and heart.
Such movies can often create a perfect movie character and are loved by academics. To put it bluntly, it is easy to win awards.
For example, most of the movies that later generations of Leonardo DiCaprio took on in order to win Oscars were this type of movies.
However, these types of movies tend not to pay much attention to the story structure of the entire movie, and place the description of the characters higher than the story structure of the movie, which is what ordinary audiences see as dull.
As one of the world's most box-office superstars, Leonardo DiCaprio will not be too high at the box office if he participates in this type of movie.
Wu Jianye never thought about making this movie into a literary and artistic film. In the movie "The Love of Ghosts", the four leading actors were actually given enough performance. If we dig deeper into the inner stories of the four leading actors,
If so, then this movie will become a literary and artistic movie.
In this way, a huge movie audience is lost.
This is not what Wu Jianye wants to see. If he wanted to make an award-winning movie, Wu Jianye would not choose this movie. Wouldn't movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" be more popular?
Does it smell good?
Therefore, it is impossible for Wu Jianye to agree to Isabel Adjani's suggestion.
"Why are you so stubborn? You can obviously make this movie more in-depth, but why can't you make it perfect?" Isabelle Adjani's violent temper finally broke out.
In her opinion, Wu Jianye is obviously a director who has the ability to create incomparable classic movies. Why should he give up his artistic pursuits for the sake of the so-called audience?
Wu Jianye sat on the sofa in his room, looking at Isabel Adjani expressionlessly. This meant that Isabel Adjani was really thinking about this movie, otherwise Wu Jianye would have kicked Isabel Adjani away by now.
out.
Even if the relationship between the two maintained that kind of relationship, Wu Jianye would not tolerate anyone challenging his authority on the set.
"Movies are an art that serves the audience. It is true that as you said, according to your proposal, this movie may be more in-depth, but it will lose more viewers. You can't make the general audience's appreciation of the movie
The attitude towards film critics or academics is two different groups of moviegoers. As a film worker, you can’t just think about the movie itself, but you must also be responsible for the people who watch the movie and the capital invested.
......."
Wu Jianye explained these things to Isabel Adjani calmly. Now the filming of the movie is getting better. Although Isabel Adjani has always wanted to deepen the depth of Molly, she was still very dedicated during the filming.
It's almost impossible to fault it.
It is always after Wu Jianye's words that he can perfectly present the state that Wu Jianye wants. This is one of the reasons why Wu Jianye can continue to discuss with Isabel Adjani calmly.
However, Isabel Adjani obviously did not understand Wu Jianye’s consideration of the entire movie.
"If movies only consider the audience, then how can there be so many great film arts in the world? Maybe the current audience cannot understand these, but it does not mean that they will not understand in the future. The biggest difference between great movies and ordinary movies is
The difference is that a great movie will still be watched and discussed by audiences even a hundred years later, while the lifespan of an ordinary movie is only a few years."
"Don't you want your movie to still be discussed and watched a hundred years later?"
Wu Jianye laughed, already a little impatient with Isabel Adjani's attitude, and said: "I won't care about the flood after I die, and how do you know that the things you shoot now will not become classics in the future? When you
When you first saw the script, weren't you already attracted by the story?"
"I admit that the current story is a very beautiful story, but we can obviously shoot it better..."
Seeing that Isabel Adjani was still arguing with herself, Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say anything else. The script of the movie will not change. What I need now is for you to perfectly present what I want.
Okay, as for what you want to express, let’s talk about it later when we have the opportunity!”
"This matter is no longer discussed!"
At the end of the sentence, Wu Jianye's tone had become cold. Seeing Wu Jianye's expression, Isabel Adjani knew that she would not be able to achieve what she wanted.
"You will regret it. I believe that for countless nights in the future, you will regret that you missed a great classic love movie!" Isabelle Adjani finally said.
Wu Jianye said unmoved: "This is already a great love movie."
Regarding the movie "The Love of Ghosts", no one knows her classic better than Wu Jianye. In fact, in Wu Jianye's opinion, this movie has perfectly integrated business and art.
And Isabel Adjani's considerations are more about the role of Molly. Again, if this movie is really handled according to Isabel Adjani's suggestion, then the whole movie will be affected.
will have a strong impact.
If one alone deepens the display of Molly's inner drama, then the other three leading actors in the film will have a sense of accompanying them in the structure of the entire film, which will disrupt the balance of the entire story.
And if in order to accommodate Molly's role, and increase the roles of the other three leading actors to achieve the so-called balance, then the style of the entire film will lose its commercial pursuit and become a pure art film, then it will lose its
appeal to general audiences.
This is even more not what Wu Jianye is pursuing.
The two eventually broke up on bad terms, but during the filming the next day, Isabelle Adjani still hid her dissatisfaction.
To put it bluntly, this type of actors are actors who are born for movies. Although they will make their own suggestions to the director and hope to be accepted by the director, even if their suggestions are not accepted, they are unlikely to be passive and slack in their work.
.
This is their respect for their profession.
And this is the bottom line why even if Isabel Adjani raised different opinions to Wu Jianye one after another, Wu Jianye could still tolerate it.
As a director, Wu Jianye is creating the entire movie world. As for the characters in the movie world, Wu Jianye naturally wants them to see themselves as these characters. They think of more problems for their characters, and that is also true.
They are responsible for this role, and as the actors of this role, they experience these roles personally.
As long as their proposal is beneficial to Wu Jianye, the creator, he will still adopt it.
Although many people regard Wu Jianye as a tyrant on the set, it does not mean that Wu Jianye cannot accept different opinions, but this opinion must be within Wu Jianye's control over the entire movie.
Filming of the movie continues.
But Phantom Entertainment suddenly announced the news that Wu Jianye will be hired to become its company's development consultant!
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the North American entertainment industry. No one thought that the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment would be so close.
Prior to this, Phantom Entertainment unconditionally supported Wu Jianye's new drama, which has caused many people to doubt the true relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment. Now Phantom Entertainment has promoted Wu Jianye to its own company's development consultant. This
It makes people even more curious.
Some gossip weeklies immediately took advantage of this wave of popularity and began to gossip about the relationship between Wu Jianye and Linda.
"According to the inside information obtained by this newspaper, the reason why Wu Jianye is so valued by Phantom Entertainment is not because he is an excellent screenwriter and has provided several best-selling movie scripts for Phantom Entertainment. The real reason is that Wu
The secret relationship between Jianye and Linda. Why Wu Jianye broke up with Isabel Adjani before was because of the appearance of Linda. Wu Jianye clearly knew that he wanted to succeed in Hollywood without a backstage.
It was impossible, so he chose to abandon Isabel Adjani and pursue Linda instead. Now Linda hired Wu Jianye as the development consultant of Phantom Entertainment, which was just for the two to announce their relationship in the future.
It’s just foreshadowing..."
Throughout the report, Wu Jianye was portrayed as a scumbag who only eats soft food, while Linda was just a little woman who was blinded by love.
The entire report was almost entirely fabricated out of thin air by the gossip magazine reporter’s own imagination, but it just so happens that there is a market for this type of report in North America...
North American journalists have always had this tradition, and it has not changed even thirty years later...
After Linda saw this report, she immediately called Wu Jianye and teased Wu Jianye for being such a scumbag. As for the report that she was a little woman lost in love, as the president of Phantom Entertainment, she
There is still this spirit of entertainment.
However, among the major Hollywood studios, such reports are divided into two groups. Some people think it is true, while others think it is just the same gossip news as before.
News Corp!
Murdoch was sitting in his office with this gossip magazine next to him. He didn't believe it because he had just received a report about Wu Jianye.
In fact, he was not investigating Wu Jianye specifically, but because of another incident, he paid attention to Wu Jianye.
Fengge Media in Xiangjiang was officially established!
Once Fengge Media was established and integrated all channels, it became the largest media group in Southeast Asia. As the founder of News Corporation, Murdoch naturally paid attention to it.
But when he asked his people to investigate Fengge Media, they unexpectedly discovered Wu Jianye!
He is actually the boss behind Fengge Media, Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group!
