"Is Hong Kong director so autonomous?" Although there had been communication beforehand, Billy Crystal opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Wu Yusen talk about the rights and freedom of directors in Hong Kong.

"Yes, studios trust us." Ng Yu-sum once again reiterated that trust is the biggest factor in the freedom of Hong Kong directors.

Because of trust, because of the belief that the films they make can make money, the Hong Kong film company has given the director arguably the greatest power.

However, this is basically impossible in other countries and regions of the world, especially Hollywood.

Billy Crystal sighed and said: "You Hong Kong directors are so happy that you can shoot what you want to shoot, but in the United States, there are only a handful of directors who can shoot what you want to shoot, and there is no one who can invest in the director to shoot without a script and only one concept."

Wu Yusen nodded, he understood this very clearly before he came to Hollywood.Hollywood is the producer responsible system, that is, the producer has the greatest rights, followed by the director, and even said, many times the director is a person who shoots the shots according to the script, and the producer has the final say on what kind of story the shots are edited into.

As for saying that you can set up a project without a script and then select actors to form a crew to start filming, and it is completely impossible to conceive the script while filming.

No independent film company can be so sloppy in its films.

Not to mention the mainstream commercial films of the seven major film companies.

Even if there is a script, it is impossible to say that the project will be established.

If the script is not typed back and changed dozens of times according to the standard model, don't take it to the top to say.

As for the establishment of the project, it is even more professional to review the script.

The job of those people is to review the script, and whether the script works or not must first go through the decision of these people.

Then it is passed and then it is discussed by the top management, and then the top management will meet to analyze the situation of the script, the risk of investment, what is the rate of return, etc.

The strict process is all right, the script can be approved, and then the size of the investment scale, how much investment is safer, there is a great chance of recovering the cost, and so on.

This is also the reason why a Hollywood movie takes a year or two, two or three years, or even more before and after the first version of the script to the final investment and then filming and release.

The process is too cumbersome.

"Then Mr. Wu, I'm afraid it's hard for you to adapt to Hollywood, right?" Billy Crystal asked.

Wu Yusen nodded, and then said: "Although it is difficult to adapt, I think of a place that must follow the rules of a place, so I will adapt to the Hollywood system as soon as possible."

"Well, I also hope that Mr. Wu can adapt as soon as possible, so that we can soon see your first film in Hollywood." Billy Crystal said and then he brought the conversation back to the point he had just started.

"Mr. Wu, I heard that your first film that broke the Hong Kong film record is called Heroic Nature, right?" Billy Crystal asked, and after asking, he said to the camera: "Mr. Wu's heroic nature will also be shown in hundreds of movie theaters in the near future.

"Thank you." Wu Yusen first politely thanked Billy Christo, and then nodded: "Yes, Heroic True Colors is the first gangster hero film to break the Hong Kong box office record."

"Since the true character of the hero is so good, Mr. Wu, why don't you continue to make movies in the style of the hero's true character later, doesn't that guarantee a good box office?"

"Maybe I want to shoot something different." In response to Billy Christo's question, Wu Yusen thought about it silently, this topic is not in the conversation script that was said in advance.

Billy Crystal This question was actually very abrupt, Wu Yusen was not prepared at all, and it was okay not to answer the topic, but Wu Yusen decided to answer after thinking about it.

Anyway, according to Qiao Feng's explanation.

"Because I don't think 'The True Colors of Heroes' is not my ideal movie, and I love the movie "The True Colors of Heroes" too, but the movie I really want to make is actually a movie like "The Bloody Two". The origins of this film go back to when I was younger, especially in the '60s, when I was very influenced by Western cinema, especially European cinema."

It is shocking for an honest person to be embarrassed, Wu Yusen has the essence of Qiao Feng's explanation, that is, to please the European and American audiences as much as possible, and say something they like to hear.

Anyway, it's how to be good for movie promotion.

"I'm fascinated by French cinema, especially Melville, who specializes in crime films, and who has made Alain Delon's "The Lone Killer" and "The Red Circle", and I love and admire all of his films. Wu Yusen said.

"It was in the 70s, and at that time I also loved to watch cop movies, so I really wanted to make a film, and I put all my movie favorites, or movies that I had been influenced by, in one play, so I came up with the story of "Bloody Heroes".

"Oh." Billy Crystal let out a loud voice of surprise, and then said in disbelief: "It turns out that Mr. Wu's heroic nature is actually influenced by Melville."

Wu Yusen nodded and continued: "When "Lone Killer" started the mission, he killed someone in a nightclub, and then he was seen by a black female singer who was singing, but the female singer, when the police investigated the case, did not identify the killer, and the killer sacrificed himself for her in order to repay her. “

"Then can I understand that Mr. Wu's film is completely influenced by Melville's lone killer?" Billy Crystal seems to enjoy hearing Wu Yusen's movies about Europeans and Americans.

But Billy Crystal didn't ask questions as set out in the script, and Wu Yusen didn't give face and didn't just praise directors and movies in Europe and the United States as Qiao Feng requested.

He shook his head solemnly and said: "No, I like to watch Ken Takakura's movies very much, the relationship between the detective and the killer in it is also from Ken Takakura's movie, which was previously filmed in Hong Kong and Macau, I forgot what the title of the film is." But the Hong Kong Chinese film is called "Bloody Heroes", so I later used "Bloody Heroes". “

"The film was influenced by two different genres, and even the name was affected." Billy Crystal looked incredulous.

"How did you convince investors to invest in such a movie, Mr. Wu?"
