Chapter 602: Soft Rice King Wu Jianye (4100+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
Linda went on to negotiate with Orion Pictures about the rights to Fantastic Four.
And Wu Jianye is also continuing to shoot "People and Ghosts", as if everything is back on track, but neither of them thought that some people and some things are slowly approaching them.
The filming of "Ghost Love" is also getting smoother and smoother, and as Mel Gibson and Tony Goldwin's performances become more and more skillful, there are fewer and fewer problems in filming.
At least now that the film has been on for two and a half weeks, Wu Jianye's previous worries have not yet appeared, such as Mel Gibson and Isabel Adjani's suggestions for the content of the film.
and the control of the intensity of the performance.
During the preparation of the film, Isabel Adjani and Wu Jianye had a quarrel because of the style of the film, and Isabelle Adjani hoped to make the film more profound, but Wu Jianye rejected it.
Now Isabelle Adjani's performance is very in line with Wu Jianye's image of Molly in the movie, Isabelle Adjani has no problem with acting skills, although the original Demi Moore is also a very famous actor in Hollywood, but through the observation of the past few days, Wu Jianye determined that Isabelle Adjani's performance is better than Demi Moore.
However, as Wu Jianye thought, nothing can be smooth sailing, as the filming deepened, after the end of the day's shooting, Isabelle Adjani found Wu Jianye again, hoping to add some presentation of Molly's inner drama to the original plot.
"Molly's solo production of ceramics is already very good, and there is no need to add extra scenes, which will change the structure of the whole movie!" Wu Jianye did not agree to Isabelle Adjani's proposal.
However, Isabel Adjani still insists on her own ideas: "But this will make Molly's character more three-dimensional in front of the audience, and it can 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 that if you add Molly's inner drama, it will give the audience a feeling that there is no distinction between priority and priority, and if you are increasing other people's scenes for this inner drama, it will make the whole movie more than 120 minutes long, and then it will make the audience feel dragged on!"
Isabel Adjani stubbornly said: "Why should we consider what the audience thinks? Shouldn't everything we do make the characters in the movie more complete?
If Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani discussed whether to make Molly's character image fuller, it is better to say that the two discussed the issue of film style.
Most of the movie roles played by Isabelle Adjani before are more literary films, which pay more attention to the shaping of characters, and if the director is a director with ideas, he will also experiment with narrative methods.
For example, some directors like to shoot a movie in multiple lines, and will present multiple clues in a 120-minute movie to present the story they want to present.
But this kind of movie often makes many viewers look at it and don't know what to do.
And some directors like to dig into the inner part of the characters, and make the characters in the movie the focus of the whole movie by showing the characters' personalities and hearts.
Such a movie can often create a perfect movie role, and it is loved by the academy, and to put it bluntly, it is easy to win awards.
For example, in later generations, most of the films that Xiao Lizi took over in order to win the Oscar were movies of this type.
However, these types of movies often do not pay much attention to the story structure of the entire movie, and the description of the characters is higher than the story structure of the movie, that is, the dullness in the eyes of ordinary audiences.
As one of the world's most appealing superstars, Xiao Lizi will not have a high box office when he participates in this type of movie.
Wu Jianye never thought of making this movie into a literary movie, in the movie "People and Ghosts", in fact, it is enough to give the four leading actors, if you dig deep into the inner drama of the four leading actors, then this movie will become a literary movie.
In this way, a huge moviegoer base is lost.
This is not what Wu Jianye wants to see, if he wants to shoot a movie that wins an award, Wu Jianye will not choose this movie, isn't it more fragrant to movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump"?
So Isabelle Adjani's suggestion, it is impossible for Wu Jianye to agree.
"Why are you so stubborn, you could have made this movie more in-depth, why don't you just make it perfect?" Isabel Adjani's temper finally exploded.
In her opinion, Wu Jianye is obviously a director who has the ability to create incomparably classic movies, why should he give up his artistic pursuit for the sake of the so-called audience?
Wu Jianye sat on the sofa in his room and looked at Isabel Adjani with an expressionless face, which means that Isabel Adjani really thought about this movie, otherwise Wu Jianye would have kicked Isabel Adjani out by now.
Even if there is such a relationship between the two, Wu Jianye will not tolerate someone challenging his authority in the crew.
"Film is an art to serve 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 audiences, you can't put the attitude of ordinary audiences towards movies on those film critics or academic people, these are two different groups of moviegoers, as a filmmaker, you can't just think about the movie itself, but also be responsible for the crowd of moviegoers, the capital invested......."
Wu Jianye calmly explained these things to Isabel Adjani, and now the filming of the movie has gradually improved, although Isabel Adjani has always wanted to deepen Molly's depth, but when shooting, she is still very dedicated, and it is almost impossible to find fault.
Always after Wu Jianye's words, he can perfectly present the state that Wu Jianye wants, which is also one of the reasons why Wu Jianye can continue to discuss with Isabel Adjani calmly.
However, Isabel Adjani obviously can't understand Wu Jianye's consideration of the whole movie.
"If the movie only considers the audience, then how can there be so many great film arts in this world, maybe the current audience can't understand this, then it doesn't mean that they won't understand it in the future, the biggest difference between great movies and ordinary movies is that great movies, even if a hundred years later, there will still be audiences watching and discussing, and ordinary movies, his life span is only a few short years. ”
"Don't you want your movie to be discussed and watched a hundred years from now?"
Wu Jianye smiled, and was already a little impatient with Isabelle Adjani's attitude, and said: "After I die, he will be flooded, and how do you know that these things that are filmed now will not become classics in the future, when you first saw the script, weren't you already attracted by the story inside?"
"I admit that the story is a very good story, but we could have made it better......"
Seeing that Isabel Adjani was still arguing with herself, Wu Jianye waved her hand and said: "You don't have to say anything, the script of the movie will not change, what I need now is for you to perfectly present what I want, as for the things you want to express, let's talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future!"
"This matter is not discussed!"
At the end of the day, Wu Jianye's tone had become cold, and seeing Wu Jianye's expression, Isabelle Adjani knew that she couldn't achieve the goal she wanted.
"You're going to regret it, and I'm sure you'll regret missing out on a great classic romance for countless nights to come!" said Isabelle Adjani at the end.
Wu Jianye said unmoved: "This is already a great romance movie." ”
For the movie "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", no one knows her classics better than Wu Jianye, in fact, in Wu Jianye's opinion, this movie has perfectly integrated business and art.
And Isabelle Adjani's consideration is more on the role of Molly, or that sentence, if this movie is really handled according to Isabelle Adjani's suggestion, then it will have a strong impact on the whole movie.
If it is said that the inner drama of Molly is deepened alone, then the other three leading actors in this film will present a sense of accompaniment in the structure of the whole film, which will upset the balance of the whole story.
And if in order to accommodate Molly's role, the other three leading actors are added to achieve the so-called balance, then the style of the whole film will lose its commercial pursuit and become a pure art film, then it will lose its appeal to ordinary audiences.
This is not what Wu Jianye is pursuing.
The two eventually broke up, but in the next day's shooting, Isabelle Adjani still hid her dissatisfaction.
To put it bluntly, this kind of actor is an actor born for a movie, although they will put forward their own suggestions to the director and hope to be accepted by the director, but even if their suggestions are not accepted, it is impossible to be passive and slacking off.
It's their respect for their profession.
And this is why even if Isabel Adjani raised different opinions to Wu Jianye one after another, Wu Jianye could still tolerate the bottom line.
Wu Jianye, as a director, is creating the entire movie world, and the characters in the movie world, Wu Jianye naturally wants them to see themselves as this character, they think of more problems for their characters, and they are also responsible for this role, and as the actors of this role, they are personally aware of these roles.
As long as their proposal is beneficial to Wu Jianye, the creator, he will still take 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 of the whole movie.
The filming of the film continues.
But Phantom Entertainment suddenly announced a news, that is, Wu Jianye will be hired as its company's development consultant!
As soon as this news was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the North American entertainment industry, and no one thought that the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment would be so close.
Prior to this, Phantom Entertainment's unconditional support for Wu Jianye's new drama had already made many people doubt the real relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment, and now Phantom Entertainment has promoted Wu Jianye to be the development consultant of his company, which is even more curious.
And 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 Phantom Entertainment with the scripts of several blockbuster movies, the real reason is the ulterior relationship between Wu Jianye and Linda, why Wu Jianye broke up with Isabel Adjani before, is because of Linda's appearance, Wu Jianye clearly knew that if he wanted to succeed in Hollywood, it was impossible without a backstage, so he chose to abandon Isabel Adjani and pursue Linda instead, and now Linda hired Wu Jianye as a development consultant for Phantom Entertainment, it's just a foreshadowing for the future announcement of the relationship between the two......."
In the whole report, Wu Jianye is portrayed as a scumbag who eats soft rice, and Linda is just a little woman who has lost her eyes to love.
The entire story was almost entirely fabricated by the gossip magazine's reporter's own imagination, but there is a special market for this kind of reporting in North America.......
This tradition has always existed in North American journalists, and it hasn't changed even after 30 years.......
After Linda saw this report, she immediately called Wu Jianye and teased Wu Jianye, a scumbag, as for the report that she is a little woman who is blinded by love, as the president of Phantom Entertainment, she still has these entertainment spirits.
However, in several major Hollywood studios, there are two factions of such reports, some who think it is true, and others who think that it is just the same gossip news as before.
News Corp!
Murdoch sat in his office with this gossip weekly next to him, and he didn't believe it, because just now, he had received a report about Wu Jianye.
In fact, he was not deliberately investigating Wu Jianye, but because of another matter, 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, and Murdoch, as the founder of News Corporation, naturally had to pay attention.
But when he asked his people to investigate Fengge Media, he unexpectedly found Wu Jianye's figure!
He turned out to be the behind-the-scenes boss of Yaoguang Group and Yiwang Group behind Fengge Media!
