Chapter 820 Spare tire and dog licking (4000+ chapters~)
"Junior brother, why do I always have the feeling that you are going to do something big every time I see you? Tell me, what's going on with me this time?"
The next day, Liu Jianshe met Wu Jianye in a small restaurant. His expression was a little complicated, but his pride was more obvious.
This is because of the release of "Chu Xing's World". "Chu Xing's World" was released on September 30 last year. As of now, the domestic box office has accumulated more than 200 million. Such achievements are really true in China today.
It's too exaggerated.
The total domestic box office last year was only around 1.5 billion, and this achievement was due to the establishment of Fengge Cinemas. Without Fengge Cinemas, last year's national box office would have been around 1.2 billion.
And among them, Fengge Cinema Line also has its invisible contribution. It is precisely because of the establishment of Fengge Cinema Line that distribution companies across the country began to unite to form a new joint theater chain, although some dirty things happened among them.
, but overall it still contributed to the industry, and it only had a box office of 1.5 billion.
Otherwise, the national box office last year would have been around 1 billion.
Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Senior brother, I actually came to you this time because I have something I want to ask your opinion on from China Film Academy!"
Liu Jianshe was slightly startled. You must know that Wu Jianye's current influence is definitely comparable to that of China Film. Although in terms of policy, China Film still manages the culture of Tangting, but everyone knows that Wu Jianye can directly communicate with Ai
Due to the existence of internal dialogue, China Film Group actually has no curbing power on Tangting Culture!
Now that Wu Jianye actually took the initiative to express his opinions during the consultation, he was naturally a little surprised.
But Liu Jianshe is still very happy in his heart. As Wu Jianye develops better and better, Wu Jianye now has more and more say in the country, but it is very rare to still be able to talk to him like this.
.
This is actually the welfare of the pioneers. Every pioneer will either be killed in the waves of the times, or he will become a person with a certain right to speak.
It is obvious that Wu Jianye not only was not beaten to death by the waves, but now has enough ability to create waves.
"What's a good thing?" Liu Jianshe didn't show his happiness, he just asked with a smile.
Wu Jianye then told Liu Jianshe about his invitation to the three major film festivals and his participation in the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film.
"...Senior Brother, I have told you the matter, now it is up to you to see how you China Film will choose!"
After Liu Jianshe listened to Wu Jianye's words, he also sighed a lot. Wu Jianye's status is indeed different now. In the past, if domestic films wanted to participate in European film festivals, they didn't know how many entries they had to send out.
After being officially selected, the three major European film festivals have now invited Wu Jianye, and the Cannes Film Festival has even invited Wu Jianye to be a judge for their selection this year.
Although Chen Kaige also participated in that Berlin Film Festival as a film judge of the Berlin Film Festival before, it was through the operation of many parties, but now it is different. This was someone's initiative.
What's more important is that the film "The World of Chu Xing" was actually able to compete for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
According to the normal process, China Film should select a suitable film in China and then send it to the Academy Awards officials for selection. Now Wu Jianye directly talks about this matter, obviously because there is already a certain amount of film.
Confident.
"What do you think?" Liu Jianshe asked directly.
Although Wu Jianye said that he wanted China Film to decide on this matter, Liu Jianshe definitely wanted to ask Wu Jianye for his opinion. This is a reflection of his status.
If it changes to another director's work, China Film will directly make the decision and then notify the other party.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Have you read Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine?"
Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" has been released in Hong Kong, but it is still banned in China just like in another time and space. However, Liu Jianshe, as the leader of China Film Group, must be different from ordinary audiences.
Liu Jianshe nodded and said, "I've seen it. It's a good movie. It's a pity that the subject matter is a bit sensitive!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "This movie, Fengge Pictures in Xiangjiang, has prepared to send it to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival!"
Liu Jianshe said understandingly: "You mean to choose between the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, if "The World of Chu Xing" has to participate in European film festivals, I would prefer these two film festivals, but if you want to increase the international influence of Chinese films,
I think it’s better not to participate. After all, if I participate in these two major film festivals, I won’t be able to become a judge at the Cannes Film Festival!”
According to the rules of the three major film festivals, "The World of Chu Xing" can only participate in one film festival. As a judge of this film, Wu Jianye would have automatically given up if he participated in the other two film festivals.
Cannes Film Festival jury status.
Liu Jianshe thought for a moment and asked: "Are you so optimistic about Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine"?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, I also watched this movie at Tangting Culture. It is undeniable that this movie is Chen Kaige's most successful movie so far, and this movie is very
In line with the aesthetics of the Western film world, I think this film should be successful at the Cannes Film Festival!"
Liu Jianshe still asked unwillingly: "What about your movie? According to our opinion, it would be safer to send your movie over!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Sometimes having more people is not necessarily an advantage. If my film and Chen Kaige's film were to participate in the Cannes Film Festival together, it would definitely cause the votes to be dispersed."
"Moreover, now our country has won almost all the awards that should be won at the three major European film festivals. Although it is still short of the Palme d'Or in Cannes, Chen Kaige is not without hope this time. If our country's films,
If we can win more at the Academy Awards, I believe it will greatly increase the influence of our country's films!"
This is what Wu Jianye really cares about.
Nowadays, Wu Jianye has not paid much attention to the so-called awards. The reason why "The World of Chu Xing" is still included in the Oscar selection for the best foreign language film is simply to increase the influence of Chinese-language films in the world.
Although the influence of the three major European film festivals is also very high, they focus more on art films. Now that Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have grown up, there is no need to compete with them.
Only by winning the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film can it be possible to increase the global popularity of Chinese commercial films.
"Then what are the chances of your film winning the Best Foreign Language Film?" Liu Jianshe asked.
Wu Jianye spread his hands and said with a smile: "Who can say for sure about this kind of thing, but if we want to say whose domestic film is most likely to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, then it must be my film.
Got it!"
Liu Jianshe smiled at Wu Jianye's blunt statement and did not refute it, because Wu Jianye told the truth.
"Okay then, I will report this matter to the superiors. It's just a pity that the movie "Farewell My Concubine" was invested by Fengge Pictures!"
When Liu Jianshe said this, he actually agreed with Wu Jianye's opinion.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "If this movie is not invested by Fengge Pictures, then in the end, there will be no way for this movie to go out to participate in exhibitions!"
Liu Jianshe smiled bitterly and said nothing.
How can a film that has not been reviewed domestically represent China in a European film festival?
No one can explain this kind of thing...
.......
Tangting Culture, Wu Jianye looked at Chen Kaige sitting on the sofa on the left with a complicated expression.
"What do you mean, do we agree or not?" Chen Kaige looked at Wu Jianye anxiously.
"The key thing is that it's not something I disagree with. If you don't do your own thing, let me do it. Aren't you trying to get your family to make trouble with me? Besides, look at you.
What did you do?" Wu Jianye looked at Chen Kaige helplessly, feeling that his outlook on life had collapsed.
Director Chen came to Wu Jianye this time not to talk about other things, but to discuss with Wu Jianye how to pursue Chen Hong.
The key issue is that our director Chen is currently in a relationship with that famous female host.
Well.......
After separating from Hong Huang, Director Chen quickly got together with that person after returning to China.
As for how the two of them got started, even Wu Jianye didn't ask.
Now Director Chen has fallen in love with Chen Hong again, and he came here to ask Wu Jianye to give him advice.
Subconsciously, Wu Jianye looked at Director Chen's head...
"Is there nothing I can do? I have been calling her frequently during this period. I went to Hong Kong to promote "Farewell My Concubine" some time ago and I even bought her a gift!" Chen Kaige said helplessly.
After watching "The World of Chu Xing" last time, Director Chen couldn't forget Chen Hong, and then he searched for opportunities to meet Chen Hong many times, both covertly and overtly.
However, Chen Hong's vision is now higher, and it is not something that Director Chen can win now. However, Chen Hong's level is not high. He did not formally reject Director Chen at all, but kept keeping Director Chen's appetite.
Briefly describe Director Chen’s current situation.
He is Chen Hong's spare tire and licking dog...
The key is that Director Chen doesn't know it yet.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "You have a moral problem. I definitely can't help you!"
Chen Kaige glanced sideways at Wu Jianye and said, "Are you embarrassed to talk about moral issues in this kind of matter?"
Wu Jianye was unhappy and said: "Why are you sorry? I have settled the matter in my back garden, can you?"
Chen Kaige stopped talking. To be honest, if he was asked to give up that person now, he would probably be reluctant to give up. In another time and space, Chen Hong used the child in his belly to coerce Chen Kaige into getting married.
, of course, there must be other means inside.
Now Chen Kaige actually came to him and asked him to find a solution for him. Wu Jianye really didn't know what was in Chen Kaige's head.
In fact, looking at Chen Kaige, Wu Jianye's thoughts drifted to Zhang Yimou and Feng Pants.
The love lives of the three major directors of the fifth generation are really richer than the last. There is no need to talk about Chen Kaige's life. Everyone knows that including Chen Hong, they are all married for the third time, and there is another one in between.
The key is that these women directed by Chen all came together when they were with another woman.
And Zhang Yimou is not that strong. Although after graduating from film school, his horizons have broadened, but he felt that his former wife and he had nothing in common. Then while filming "Red Sorghum", he and Gong Li fell in love.
Together.
The most important thing is that Gong Li actually didn't get anything in the end. In the end, Zhang Yimou was probably old and used to the prosperity of the world, so he found a wife outside the circle.
Among them, Feng's pants are the most particular.
When he was with Xu Piao, although he had not divorced yet, he had separated from his wife. When he pursued Xu Piao, he also stated that he was married and was already going through the divorce procedures!
There were no substitutions since then.
"I just want to try that!" Chen Kaige said with a sneer: "Can't you tell others about this?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "I know that although you did it unreasonably, there is no need for me to kick you again!"
This kind of thing is actually easy to understand. Wu Jianye and Chen Kaige are classmates. The friendship between classmates is here, so naturally they won't say anything.
This is actually no different from the various scandals and gossips that spread all over the world in later generations.
It's just that the media was relatively developed at that time. Think about it, when some celebrities had scandals at that time, many netizens would go to their friends' Weibo to gossip, wanting to see how their friends would react.
What kind of reaction can there be to this kind of thing? No reaction is the best reaction.
Regarding gossip and scandals, every person involved hopes that this kind of thing will be over as soon as possible, or that a bigger scandal will appear to cover him up.
If there are people around him who continue to speak out for him at this time, they are not helping him at all, but harming him.
However, the melon-eaters don’t think so. They think that everything should be put on the surface. If something happens to this person and you don’t say anything, then you have a plastic friendship, and the emotions in the entertainment industry are all weak.
In fact, these netizens don't really want to see their reactions, they just want to have one more point to complain about.
If you speak out, you are a scumbag and a bad person. Are you even helping him with such a thing?
What if you don't say anything?
Then you are just plastic lovers!
Anyway, these netizens have their own explanations, and they can perfectly put themselves in the position of a white lotus!
"I won't care about this matter. You can handle it yourself!" Wu Jianye would not pay attention to this kind of thing at all...
