Director Wu, we all know that before filming "Chu Xing's World", you have made great achievements in Hollywood, "Ghost Love" and "Jurassic Park" are still ranked second and first in the global box office list as of now, it can be said that you have proven yourself in Hollywood, the palace of movies, it stands to reason that your development in Hollywood should be better, why did you think of returning to China to shoot movies?"

The reporter asked about his curiosity.

This question is not only curious by reporters, it can be said that many people are curious, not to mention the current era, that is, in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, there are still many Chinese filmmakers who hope to achieve achievements in Hollywood.

At that time, well-known actors in China could only play small cameo roles in Hollywood, but even so, they were tired of running to Hollywood.

Of course, there is also the possibility of exporting to domestic demand to improve their own qualifications, and after making a cameo appearance in one or two Hollywood movies, he dares to play the brand of an international superstar after returning to China!

Now Wu Jianye has achieved such a high level of achievement in Hollywood, but still chooses to return to China to shoot movies, such a decision is incomprehensible to many people.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "This is very understandable, first of all, I am a Chinese, my roots are in China, I naturally want to make movies in China, and at the same time, I also hope to be able to show our Chinese culture to the global audience through movies!"

The reporter continued to ask: "Director Wu, we all know that the remuneration for making movies in Hollywood is different from that for shooting movies in China, and your choice to come back actually means that you have given up the opportunity to get a huge fortune in Hollywood, and this determination is not something that any person can do!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Money is just a number to me!"

The reporter still wants to continue to dig deeper into this topic, "Director Wu, according to our magazine's understanding, I know that you took the method of salary plus sharing in the movie "Jurassic Park", and now the movie "Jurassic Park" has exceeded $1.1 billion at the global box office, can you tell us how much you made on this movie?"

In the early 90s, China was no longer the era when everyone was talking about ideals in the 80s, and now even a national magazine like "Popular Film" can discuss the issue of salary.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I really haven't counted this, but it will definitely not be less!"

When the reporter wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Wu Jianye, "Let's talk about the movie!"

Now that the worship of money in China has begun to emerge, if Wu Jianye says that he has made a profit in the movie "Jurassic Park", his own unpeaceful life will definitely be even more messy!

When he came to interview Wu Jianye, the editor-in-chief of the magazine had seriously warned him that the opportunity to interview Wu Jianye this time was not easy to come by, and he must not mess up the relationship with Wu Jianye.

Now Wu Jianye is a signboard of the domestic film industry, as long as Wu Jianye can be firmly grasped, then there will be no problem with the sales of "Popular Magazine".

If it was in the seventies and eighties, "Popular Magazine" would definitely not do this, after all, at that time, "Popular Magazine" was the number one film magazine in China, and it was a national brand, basically belonging to the unified rivers and lakes, but now it is different.

With the end of the old man's southern tour, all the industries are rising, and the same is true for film magazines, and "Popular Magazine" feels a sense of urgency for the first time, and now as long as he can maintain a good connection with Wu Jianye, then for "Popular Magazine", it is equivalent to keeping in touch with all the directors and actors in the Beijing circle, the northwest circle, and the court culture itself.

Then they won't be short of any more reporting resources!

In fact, many things and things at this time are the opposite of the time when Wu Jianye was reborn.

For example, at that time, the number of fashion magazines and movie magazines was much more than now, but most celebrities needed these resources and would pay some price to get on the cover of these magazines.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that although there are more magazines, there are also more celebrities.

To put it bluntly, no matter how the demand relationship between the two sides changes, it is inseparable from the market.

"Popular Magazine" still has more say in front of ordinary actors and directors, but when they faced Wu Jianye, the relationship between the two sides changed again, that is, there is only one Wu Jianye, and he is still a figure standing at the top of the industry, so there is no way.

"Then, Director Wu, why don't we talk about your new movie, we all know, you once said that your new movie is a feature film, can you tell us about the plot of this movie?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "As for the specific plot of the movie, I still hope that the audience can go into the cinema to watch and explore for themselves, I can only say that this is a movie that has never appeared before, and when everyone watches this movie, they will have doubts about the environment around them!"

The reporter asked curiously: "Director Wu, as soon as you say this, I am even more curious, what kind of movie can make people doubt the environment around them?"

Wu Jianye: "Then please go to the cinema on the night of September 30 to find this answer!"

The reporter is helpless, Wu Jianye's mouth is really strong!

"Director Wu, your film claims to have an investment of 10 million, and you also know that most of the investment in domestic films is still stuck at about 1.3 million investment, aren't you worried that this movie will not be able to recover its cost?"

"Don't worry, I believe that all moviegoers have their own judgment about movies, and an excellent movie will definitely be able to bring the audience back to the cinema!"

"But among the things we know, I understand that your film has invited Xiangjiang's movie superstar Zhou Xingchi, and the two actresses, He Qing and Chen Hong, are also very well-known actresses in China.

"No, I only choose the right actors for my films, and I don't try to accommodate a certain actor!" Wu Jianye denied.

"There is another question, Director Wu, this time you used Xiangjiang's actor Zhou Xingchi, so in your future movies, will you also use Wanwan's actors?

With the lifting of the ban on Wanwan, in fact, there have been a lot of Wanwan works entering the country.

For example, the TV series "Mom, Love Me Again", which caused a sensation in China, caused countless Chinese to cry.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Until some problems are solved, there will not be any Wanwan actor in my movie!"

Although it was just a simple sentence, the reporter of "Popular Film" showed an extremely shocked expression.

You must know that in addition to the TV series "Mom, Love Me Again" just mentioned, now Wanwan's stars can be said to have fully entered the domestic entertainment industry.

Last year, azazine also held its first domestic concert in China.

The current Wanwan stars are not inferior to the stars of Xiangjiang in terms of influence in China.

Now Wu Jianye has clearly said that before that matter is resolved, his movie will not use any Wanwan actors, which can be said to be contrary to the current environment!

"Director Wu, aren't you afraid of offending some people by saying these words?" the reporter couldn't help but ask.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What is there to worry about, I am a director, what actors to use, naturally I say it, I personally don't like Wanwan's actors, so naturally I don't need them, can someone still force me to find Wanwan's artists to shoot movies with guns?"

The reporter didn't know how to answer, after all, they were just a movie magazine, and now the issue that Wu Jianye discussed with him, although it was still in this category, but its core had been replaced by another question, and he was worried that if he continued to ask, something would happen.

In fact, this problem may not be published when the magazine reviews it internally.

The whole interview lasted nearly two hours, and when the interview was over, the reporter held Wu Jianye's hand and said seriously: "Director Wu, I have to say that your courage is really big!"

Wu Jianye knew that he was talking about the question about Wanwan's actors just now, and said with a smile: "Actually, I hope you can post this question!"

The reporter smiled and said no more, the parties concerned didn't care, and he had nothing to say as an outsider.

Then Wu Jianye called Li Na in and sent away the reporter of "Popular Film".

Then Wu Jianye put this matter behind him, and for him, the most important thing now is about the release of the movie "The World of Chu Xing".

Now that it has been decided, the premiere ceremony of this movie will be held in Yanjing, and Wu Jianye will naturally call to invite some people.

However, the first thing to be sure of is that the main creators of this film must be present.

First of all, Wu Jianye called Zhou Xingchi who was far away in Xiangjiang, at this time Zhou Xingchi was filming "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", and when he heard that Wu Jianye asked him to come to Yanjing to attend the premiere of the movie, he naturally had no opinion.

indicated that he would ask for leave with Chen Jiashang, the director of "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", at that time.

If someone else were looking for Zhou Xingchi, Chen Jiashang would definitely not take a holiday, after all, Zhou Xingchi's schedule is too tight now, and the time is almost set.

But who let Wu Jianye speak!

He Qing and Chen Hong are also no problem, both of them are now filming their own movies of Tangting Culture, and they will definitely come over that day.

Later, Wu Jianye called the crew of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" again, and now Zhang Guoli and others are filming this TV series in Hengdian, and they will definitely come over at that time.

As for Wang Zhiwen, there is no problem, after all, the crew of "Addicted" is in Yanjing!

After the main cast was decided, it was already evening.

Wu Jianye called Dai Zhen and went back to the courtyard.

On the second day, Wu Jianye came to the filming site of "Farewell My Concubine".

There are many filming locations for "Farewell My Concubine", but many of these scenes were filmed at the Mei Lanfang Art Museum in Yanjing.

After Wu Jianye came to the scene, he saw the hot scene here, and Zhang Guoxuan was holding a cigarette in his hand at this time, wearing a simple sweatshirt, and was learning Peking Opera movements from Peking Opera masters!

"Why do you have time to come over?" Chen Kaige asked with some surprise after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, so come to visit the class!" After finishing speaking, he respectfully greeted the old man next to Chen Kaige.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

The old man is none other than Chen Kaige's father, Mr. Chen Huai.

Mr. Chen Huaihao is also the art director of this film.

In fact, there are many sayings in later generations that at that time was when Chen Kaige's creation encountered a bottleneck, so many people are rumoring that the movie "Farewell My Concubine" was actually directed by Chen Huaihao, and Chen Kaige just hung up a name.

However, this kind of thing Wu Jianye knows that it is impossible at all, there are so many people at the scene, if Chen Kaige is really famous, it is impossible for no one to say about this matter.

What's more, according to Chen Kaige's proud character, it is impossible to do this kind of thing.

Mr. Chen Huai's spirit was very strong, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, I've been following you for a long time, but I didn't expect that our two men would meet today." ”

When "The Red Lantern Hangs High" was held at Yan Film Studio, Chen Huaihao went to see this movie, and his evaluation of Wu Jianye was very high at that time.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Old Chen, you are laughing, we still have a lot of things to learn from you old-timers!"

Chen Huai smiled: "I'm old, many ideas can't keep up with the current trend, and in the future, Chinese movies will still depend on you young people!"

At this time, Zhang Guolu also came over, and his posture was very different from the Zhang Guoxuan he knew before Wu Jianye, and he was much more enchanting.

The key is that in Zhang Guoxuan's body, he didn't feel abrupt at all when he saw this kind of enchantment.

"Director Wu, what do you think of my figure!" After speaking, Zhang Guolu made an orchid finger posture.

Wu Jianye smiled: "Amazing!"

Zhang Guolu covered his mouth and chuckled, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that although I have learned Yanjing dialect for a long time before, I still need dubbing!"

Wu Jianye said: "No way, although your Chinese is already considered the top among Xiangjiang actors, it is still very different from Yanjing dialect!"

In fact, Zhang Guolu did use voice actors in the movie "Farewell My Concubine", and it was Yang Lixin who dubbed Zhang Guotong, that is, the one who played Song Jiji's husband in "I Love My Family".

Later, his son also became an actor.

Starred in TV series such as "Little Husband".

Zhang Guoxuan nodded with some regret, and then Wu Jianye said his intention: "I came here this time to invite you to attend the premiere of "The World of Chu Xing" on September 30th!"
