Chapter 726 Evaluation of Chen Kaige (4000+ chapters~)
It's not the future yet. If Hong Kong and Taiwan actors want to film in China, there won't be any problems. They can just do it.
According to domestic policies, actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan can come to China to perform acupuncture, but if they want to shoot movies, they must go through the political review process. This thing is simple and simple. As long as there is someone above, it is actually just a matter of saying hello.
It is not easy, it is also very difficult. If there is no one, even if you want to give money, you don't know how to give it to the God of Wealth.
Lu Wei spent relatively little time in Yanjing and always stayed at Xiying Studio. The only time he had contact with Tangting Culture was when He Ping was filming "The Swordsman of Two Flags Town".
At that time, Lu Wei was the screenwriter of "Swordsman of Two Flags Town", but he did not meet Wu Jianye.
That's why Lu Wei said that this is a problem. If you want to invite Zhang Guoyi, you have to see whether he is willing to shoot this movie. Now through Wu Jianye's relationship, Zhang Guoyi agreed to read the script first, and even Zhang Guoyi
Guoyi agreed, but he also needed to pass the political review on the domestic side.
Before Wu Jianye could answer, Chen Kaige next to him took the lead and said, "You don't have to worry about this. With Old Wu here, this won't be a problem!"
Over the years, in the minds of Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou and others, there is nothing in the industry that Wu Jianye cannot accomplish.
Especially for Chen Kaige, because of his father's relationship, the approval of document (3) from the upper levels has been received, and it will be announced on January 1 next year.
This incident has long been spread among major studios, and Wu Jianye's name once again refreshed his popularity in the domestic film circle.
No one would have thought that Document No. 3, which promoted the development of the domestic film industry, was actually produced by Wu Jianye and was approved by the state!
At this time, many provincial and municipal distribution units were secretly contacting each other to form their own theater chains. At the same time, this incident also touched the cake of many people, and many people were looking for trouble for Wu Jianye.
Originally, this matter would have given Wu Jianye a headache, but at this time, things in the Soviet Union had added a lot of bargaining chips to Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye's contribution was something that these people could not see, but
The upper management knew clearly, so at this time, all the unfavorable news about Wu Jianye was suppressed by China Film and Television and Radio and Television.
No one can find it!
I feel anxious for Aibe and others. If you have any opinions, you can report them to the higher-ups and see if the higher-ups take any notice of you!
There are people who really don’t believe in evil and go to the superiors to talk about this matter. The result is that Comrade Wu Jianye has made outstanding contributions to the development of the country. His suggestions are also good news for promoting the development of the country. You don’t agree because you want to resist.
Domestic policy?
After hearing such an answer from the superiors, who would dare to say anything, but there are more speculations about Wu Jianye.
It was naturally impossible for Wu Jianye to pay attention to this kind of thing.
The most important thing for Wu Jianye now is to find a suitable location for filming the new drama!
After New Year's Day, Tangting Culture's inspection team will be looking for places across the country.
Seeing how determined Chen Kaige was, Lu Wei didn't say anything!
Then Chen Kaige asked: "Then when is the best time for me to go to Xiangjiang?"
Wu Jianye said: "Let's go there tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. First decide on Zhang Guoyi. You also know their working environment. If you don't decide in advance, you won't be able to do anything if Zhang Guoyi takes over someone else's role!
"
Chen Kaige nodded and said: "Okay, I just don't know if he can agree. You have also read the script. You must know that if this drama is to be filmed, the actor who plays Cheng Dieyi must accept it."
A period of Peking Opera training!”
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Don't worry about this. Although fast food culture is popular in Xiangjiang, Zhang Guoyi is an outlier. If he really falls in love with your script, he will definitely cooperate with you well.
!”
Others may not know it, but Wu Jianye knows how much Zhang Guoyi likes the role of Cheng Dieyi.
Rumor has it that after Chen Kaige and Zhang Guoyi met in Peninsula, Chen Kaige only told Zhang Guoyi the content of the story. Before he read the script, Zhang Guoyi had already decided to take over the filming of this movie, and even
Said: This role of Cheng Dieyi was designed for me, that’s it!
After agreeing to participate in this drama, Zhang Guoyi came to China in advance and studied Peking Opera for six months before officially joining the cast!
This kind of thing is extremely difficult for actors in Xiangjiang.
Especially an actor of Zhang Guoyi's level.
Six months is enough time for Zhang Guoyi to shoot two movies in Hong Kong. Now Zhang Guoyi's salary is 4 million Hong Kong dollars per movie, which is 8 million for two movies. Not everyone can accept such a loss.
of.
Chen Kaige knew Wu Jianye's influence in Xiangjiang and the relationship between Wu Jianye and Zhang Guoyi. He asked curiously: "In your opinion, will Zhang Guoyi accept this role?"
Wu Jianye said: "I see no problem!"
A few people chatted for a while. Like many people, Chen Kaige was very curious about Wu Jianye's new drama and asked: "Will your new drama start filming next year?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, if there are no surprises, shooting will not start until March or April next year. What I am worried about now is the choice of shooting location!"
Chen Kaige became even more curious when he heard what Wu Jianye said.
"What kind of movie makes you worry about the shooting location?"
Nowadays, there is Hengdian Film and Television City as a studio, and major studios also have their own studios. Even for modern dramas, you shouldn’t worry about space!
What's more, it's a scene directed by Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled: "This drama is quite special and requires a special shooting location. It is not that easy!"
Chen Kaige continued to ask: "What type of movie?"
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "I can't say yet. Let's define it as a feature film for the time being."
Chen Kaige frowned slightly and said, "So when the time comes, we will still be rivals!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "That's about right. Why, you're scared!"
Chen Kaige raised his eyes and said: "How is that possible? Actually, I'm still looking forward to it!"
Chen Kaige has his own pride. Although his previous films have failed, Chen Kaige has never doubted his ability. Although Wu Jianye is now regarded as the top director in the country
, but Chen Kaige still doesn’t think he is any worse than Wu Jianye!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I guess it will be quite troublesome for your drama to be released in China!"
Chen Kaige was stunned and asked: "What's going on?"
Wu Jianye explained: "The subject matter and the relationship between the characters are quite troublesome in China. My suggestion is to take the film festival route first. Only if you succeed at the film festival will you be able to
Maybe let this movie be released in China!"
As the film involves a period of great change, and the relationship between Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou is implicitly expressed in the film, there will still be many difficulties in getting this film released in China.
Chen Kaige thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay."
Lu Wei scratched his head even more when he heard this, and asked: "Director Wu, since you know that it will be very troublesome for this movie to be released in China, will Fengge Pictures over in Xiangjiang still invest in this movie?"
Chen Kaige said from the side: "Don't worry about this. Lao Wu owns Fengge Pictures in Xiangjiang. The boss said he invested in it, so they will definitely not have any objections!"
Lu Wei's mouth opened wide. He naturally knew about Fengge Pictures, but he didn't expect that Fengge Pictures would be Wu Jianye's company. Only then did he understand why Zhang Guoyi would take over the project.
After receiving Wu Jianye's call, he immediately agreed to meet Chen Kaige.
But he still asked with some confusion.
"Then Director Wu, why do you want to invest in this movie that is less likely to be released in China? The investment in this movie is not small."
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Of course I believe you and Kaige!"
"I just took a look at the script of this movie. It is a very good movie script. As for Kaige's ability, I also know it. The reason why he failed in "Walking and Singing" before was because he himself
I participated in the work of screenwriting. I know Kaige's situation relatively well. I think he is a bit high-spirited and always thinks he can accomplish everything. However, screenwriting is really not something he can handle. He is too pursuing.
Humanities and arts, it seems a bit highbrow and not many people will appreciate it. On the contrary, he did not participate in the creation of the script of this movie, so I have a lot of confidence!"
Wu Jianye pointedly said that Chen Kaige did not save face just because he was at the scene.
how to say!
Chen Kaige is actually very successful as a director, but he is a little too conceited and thinks that he can do everything successfully.
But what about actually?
He is really not suitable to be a screenwriter, but any movie for which he is a screenwriter will not have a good reputation in the end.
But in terms of film shooting technology and film art, Chen Kaige has absolutely no problem. Wu Jianye saw Chen Kaige's last film "The Legend of the Demon Cat" before he was reborn.
Although this movie has been criticized by many people, to be honest, this movie is actually quite good, especially the use of color in the movie and the shooting techniques are top-notch!
It's a pity that Chen Kaige's movies always pursue the so-called artistry and personal style too much, and in the end they can only end up with an ungrounded statement.
Lu Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wu Jianye's straightforward evaluation of Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige on the side looked a little embarrassed. This was Wu Jianye. If another person had said that to him, Chen Kaige would have flipped the table.
"Hmph, this movie will definitely be a success!" Chen Kaige said competitively.
"Haha, I believe this. After all, Lu Wei is responsible for this!" Wu Jianye laughed and continued to joke.
In the end, Chen Kaige could only turn his grief and anger into appetite and ate hard.
Huang Zilu, who was standing aside, saw Wu Jianye teasing Chen Kaige so much. She wanted to laugh in her heart, but she was embarrassed to laugh and felt a little uncomfortable holding it in.
After several people walked out of the hotel, Chen Kaige and Lu Wei said goodbye in advance.
When Huang Zilu was finally left, he actually wanted to go to Tangting Culture to continue tinkering with the equipment, but he still let Wu Jianye persuade him to join the school. After all, he had to move out of the dormitory tomorrow, and there must be some things to pack.
Before leaving, Huang Zilu expressed her gratitude to Wu Jianye again.
By the time Huang Zilu returned to the dormitory, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, almost nine o'clock.
At this time, the only two people left in his dormitory had not rested yet. When they saw Huang Zilu coming back, they quickly asked him why Wu Jianye was looking for him.
At this time, people from other dormitories also ran over. The news that Huang Zilu was taken away by Wu Jianye today had already spread throughout the film school. Everyone originally thought that Wu Jianye would choose some actors for his new movie.
, I didn’t expect that Huang Zilu was picked out.
Huang Zilu seemed a little nervous when she was the center of the crowd for the first time, but she still told everyone that she was going to work at Tangting Culture soon.
When everyone heard this, they all showed envious expressions. When the film school offered this course, they had already said that those with good grades would be admitted to Tangting Culture.
And this year, some people did enter Tangting Culture. With the salary and benefits offered by Tangting Culture, Tangting Culture became the first choice in these people's minds.
Now that Huang Zilu was picked up by Wu Jianye himself, this also shows that Huang Zilu's future development will definitely be bright. Envyful voices immediately filled the entire dormitory.
"Okay, Lao Huang, you managed to survive this time!" Huang Zilu's roommate patted Huang Zilu's shoulder and said happily for him.
Huang Zilu smiled shyly as usual and said: "I didn't expect Teacher Wu to admit me, but you haven't seen the equipment of Tangting Culture. Director Wu said that they were all based on the digital field of the United States, which was used for "Jurassic"
I purchased the equipment from the company that did the special effects design for the movie "Park"."
"Really or not, this is too exaggerated. Those equipment must cost at least tens of millions of dollars!" Someone knows the price of these equipment.
When everyone heard the price, they exclaimed again.
"Teacher Wu has said that there will definitely be more and more use of special effects in movies in the future, and I think Teacher Wu is not simply talking about it. Everyone has watched "Jurassic Park" and knows the special effects in it. I think
In the future, not only Tangting Culture, but also other companies will definitely use special effects. Maybe movie special effects may really become an important part of movies in the future!" Huang Zilu continued.
When everyone heard this, they all wondered if they had paid too little attention to special effects before.
Many people have begun to think that they must study this aspect carefully in class in the future.
No one who came later would have thought that the first batch of special effects talents in the country were actually stimulated by Huang Zilu.
