The Academy Awards are about to begin, but Wu Jianye has one more thing to do before heading to Los Angeles.

That is to participate in the wedding of Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli!

Although the two knew each other before, they were not familiar with each other, but the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" last year made the two meet again, and they have been in love for less than a year and are ready to get married.

This year, Gu Changwei was 36 years old and Jiang Wenli was 24 years old!

Yanjing Hotel.

Gu Changwei was wearing a black suit, but seeing his appearance, it always made people feel a little uncomfortable, and Jiang Wenli next to him was wearing a white wedding dress, which looked very fashionable in this era.

Chen Kaige sat next to Wu Jianye, looked at the two people who were saluting on the stage, and whispered to Wu Jianye: "When are you going to Cannes?"

Wu Jianye first whistled on the stage, and then said: "I will go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, and after participating in the Oscars, I will fly directly to Cannes!"

Chen Kaige said with some regret: "Then there is no way to go with you!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Chen Kaige and said, "Are you sorry for this?"

Zhang Huijun debunked on the side: "It's a pity that he can't sit in first class with you!"

The people around Wu Jianye know him, and in terms of enjoyment, Wu Jianye will never wronged himself, so it must be a very pleasant thing to follow Wu Jianye when traveling.

Chen Kaige asked just now, and he must have thought the same way.

However, Comrade Chen Kaige will definitely not admit it, "What nonsense, we set off in Xiangjiang, and it is impossible to be with Lao Wu!"

Because of the appearance of Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige in this life has a lot of time to get along with his classmates, so the relationship between them is much better than in another time and space.

Zhang Huijun pursed his lips, "As soon as you say it, we will believe it!"

Wu Jianye didn't care about their gags here, but said to Zhang Yimou on the side: "How is the movie "Alive" made?"

Zhang Yimou smiled innocently and said, "It's okay, I've already filmed some of it, but it's all filmed, and it is estimated that it will take a few months!"

The filming cycle of the movie "Alive" is very long, mainly because several leading actors have just finished filming "Farewell My Concubine", and they have not changed their state, so it seems a little slow.

Wu Jianye said: "Don't wait until my new movie comes out, your movie is still tinkering!"

The movie "Alive" has been in preparation for Lao Mouzi since last year, and now he has just filmed part of it, and I heard that Lao Mouzi is very dissatisfied with the previous filmed part, and if he can't say it, he has to push it to a reshoot.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you should take the movie seriously!"

Wu Jianye: "......"

"By the way, I heard that you went to Renyi before, what's the matter? The male lead of the new movie has been decided?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, it's a supporting role, looking at the current situation, the male and female protagonists won't be decided until May!"

After finishing this thing, Wu Jianye is going to Los Angeles, and after participating in the Oscars, he is going to attend the Cannes Film Festival, and after these two things are done, it is already mid-May!

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I'm really curious about what your new movie looks like!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Commercial film, if you have to define this movie, I hope it is a great commercial film, regardless of whether this movie will succeed in the end, but one thing is certain, this movie must have important significance in the history of domestic film!"

Everyone else actually heard what Wu Jianye said, if someone else said this, others would definitely scoff at it, but now that Wu Jianye said this, they took it for granted.

They are used to Wu Jianye's success, and they are also used to everything he says has come true!

While they were chatting, Gu Changwei brought Jiang Wenli, who had already finished changing her clothes, to their table to toast.

"Brothers, don't say anything superfluous, everyone eat and drink well!" Gu Changwei looked very happy.

Jiang Wenli next to her also took the initiative to clink glasses with everyone, and everyone at this table is the mainstay of the domestic film industry today.

Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, the three major directors, naturally needless to say, at the same time, there are also the existence of Tianzhuang and Wu Ziniu, it can be said that most of the directors in China are here.

This can also see what kind of horror existence the 78th class of Yenching Film Academy is.

After everyone drank the wine, they didn't say much, there would not be too much language communication on this occasion, it was more of a ritual.

The wedding went very smoothly, and there was nothing that came out halfway that I didn't agree with.

After the wedding banquet in the hotel, Wu Jianye took these classmates to a vacant courtyard to drink tea and chat, and those who stayed in school left with classes, and those who did not have classes also came to the courtyard.

Everyone drank tea and chatted together, but it was also lively, and some people who drank too much at noon directly found an empty house to sleep.

On the second day, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli found Wu Jianye.

"Lao Wu, thank you for what happened before!" Gu Changwei said with a smile on his face.

"Well, you really should thank me!" Wu Jianye said in a matter-of-fact manner.

Gu Changwei showed a helpless expression, and Jiang Wenli on the side couldn't help laughing, she had played a small role in "The Legend of the New White Lady" before, and she was no stranger to Wu Jianye.

And the reason why Gu Changwei thanked Wu Jianye was because the convoy he married was arranged by Wu Jianye, and there was another thing.......

"Have you really decided to go to Hollywood?" Wu Jianye put away his smile and asked a little seriously.

Gu Changwei nodded and said, "Yes, Kaige went to Hollywood to study for two years before, and after I came back, I could clearly feel that he was different from before, so I also wanted to go over and learn this time!"

Seeing that Zhang Yimou, who used to study photography like himself, has now become one of the most powerful directors in China, it is impossible to say that Gu Changwei has no idea of becoming a director, this time he is preparing to go to Hollywood to study.

"When are you going to pass?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.

"Wait until the filming of Jiang Qian's "Sunny Days" will pass!" Gu Changwei said.

After the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" ended, Gu Changwei was stationed in Jiang Qian's crew as the photographer of "Sunny Day", which is also his marriage.

"How was the filming of "Sunny Days"?" Wu Jianye asked curiously, he had always wanted to go to the crew to see it, but he never made time, so Wu Jianye has not been very clear about the filming progress of the movie "Sunny Days".

Speaking of this movie, Gu Changwei also looked helpless: "Jiang Qian, this kid has too many ideas, even one idea a day, and it hasn't officially started filming yet, and he has taken a lot of scenery with him before, and I don't know if I can use it then." ”

Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything, Jiang Qian's movies are notoriously slow, and they all said that they didn't shoot movies fast enough, but compared with Jiang Qian, Wu Jianye felt that he was fast enough.

This time, Gu Changwei and his family came over, in fact, to determine the matter of their going to Hollywood to study, although there is still a long time before the end of "Sunny Days", but the sooner this kind of thing is decided, the better.

However, Wu Jianye also has his own ideas.

"Wen Li, there is a role in my new movie that is very suitable for you, are you interested?" Wu Jianye officially sent an invitation to Jiang Wenli.

This is the fifth character in Wu Jianye's new movie.

The previous four were invited Chen Qi, Chen Daoshu, Jiang Qi, He Li, and now Jiang Wenli!

Jiang Wenli immediately smiled, everyone was staring at Wu Jianye's new movie, Jiang Wenli was no exception, and this time it was specially invited by Wu Jianye, so it must be more than the previous scenes in "The Legend of the New White Lady".

You must know that up to now, Jiang Wenli's most famous movie is "Farewell My Concubine", which does not have many scenes, and now Wu Jianye personally invites herself for her new movie, how can she not be excited!

"Interested, interested!" Jiang Wenli didn't consult Gu Changwei's opinion, and directly agreed.

Gu Changwei didn't care, just looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What role is it?"

"Similar to the role of the boss of the Qinglou!" Wu Jianye smiled.

Looking for Jiang Wenli to play this role, in fact, it was because Wu Jianye watched Jiang Wenli's performance in "Farewell My Concubine" that he had this idea.

In his new movie, Jiang Wenli plays the role of a little older than her actual age, but this gap can still be made up through makeup.

In fact, in Wu Jianye's heart, Zhang Manyu should be more suitable for this role, but in this movie, Wu Jianye plans to use all domestic actors, and everyone in Hong Kong and Taiwan will give up, so he had to choose Jiang Wenli.

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli didn't have any meaning because of this role, but were a little curious about this setting.

"Didn't you say that your new movie is a fairy tale drama, how can there be such a character as the boss of the Qinglou?" Gu Changwei asked curiously.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "This is different from the traditional domestic fairy tale dramas, there will not be too many immortals we are familiar with, more are original, in my movie, all the immortals are turned into people, but their ability is stronger than ordinary people, so they are called immortals!"

Gu Changwei still didn't quite understand what Wu Jianye meant, but he still asked, "That Wenli is in this movie?"

Wu Jianye knew what Gu Changwei was worried about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there won't be excessive shots." ”

At this time, the censorship system of domestic movies and television is actually very relaxed, except for the political elements that will ban some movies and television, in terms of lenses, except for the particularly bold ones, there will be a certain degree of deletion, compared with when Wu Jianye was reborn, the current movies are simply too happy in this regard.

The shots of many movies are actually bolder than those of later films and television.

Think about "Romance of the Gods", "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", there are countless examples in the movie, interested friends can search for it themselves.

However, it is precisely this kind of unlimited creation that made domestic films fall into a strange circle in the eighties and nineties, which also led to the increasingly strict control of scale in the later period.

Hearing that there was no excessive footage, Gu Changwei breathed a sigh of relief, now that the two have just gotten married, it is time for them to be in love, if they wait for another two years, it is estimated that Gu Changwei will not even ask!

Wu Jianye continued: "If nothing else, this will be a part of the movie with two episodes, but if you really want to participate in this movie, you have to sign a five-part drama contract with Tangting Culture!"

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli were stunned after hearing this, and no one thought that Wu Jianye's new movie would be divided into two parts.

In fact, even Wu Jianye himself didn't expect it at the beginning, but after many revisions to the script, some plots could not be modified anyway, and finally Wu Jianye decided to divide the new movie into two parts.

And Wu Jianye will also take the plan of two consecutive shots.

Jiang Wenli asked curiously: "Since there are only two parts, why do you want to sign five parts?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Because there will be a trilogy for your character later!"

This new movie will be the first cinematic universe launched by Wu Jianye for China, and it can also be said to be a test of the waters, a test of the waters for the Three Thousand Universe movie.

However, in Wu Jianye's plan, this movie universe is more of a flashback mode, which is more similar to DC's mode.

However, as a reborn, Wu Jianye naturally knows what DC's problems are.

First of all, after seeing the success of Marvel, DC was a little anxious and did not polish the story of the entire cinematic universe well, resulting in an incoherent viewing experience for moviegoers.

At the same time, it is also because DC's film style is a little unified.

They wanted to learn Marvel's funny style, but because Nolan's Batman trilogy was so successful, they wanted to continue shooting the DC series in this slightly darker style.

This is another reason for the failure of DC.

After knowing the reasons for these failures, it is naturally impossible for Wu Jianye to repeat their mistakes, at this time, Wu Jianye has asked Tangting Culture to withdraw some of the screenwriters in the Three Thousand Universe Studio, and officially started the story writing of this universe, first of all, to ensure the coherence of the entire story.

As for the story of whether the audience will buy the series in the end, we can only wait until the movie is released, and Wu Jianye really doesn't know what the consequences of doing this will be now!

Jiang Wenli didn't have as many worries as Wu Jianye, but when she heard that she would star in five movies of dignified culture one after another, three of which were series with herself as the protagonist, her heart was already happy!

It is impossible to refuse!

At this time, Jiang Wenli only wanted to sign the contract quickly!

Wu Jianye smiled, took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Jiang Wenli!
