Chapter 730: The Two Great Directors of Shanghai and Hai (4200+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
Sassoon Villa has been renamed Wu Mansion by Wu Jianye, which is the same name as the Xiangjiang side.
At this time, Wu Jianye, Chen Ming, Wu Jianhu and Huang Jianxin, who was in charge of the domestic Fengge Cinema in Huhai, sat on the sofa and watched the news on TV.
Some people have said that watching news X broadcast is a necessary course for domestic businessmen, and some people have said that news X broadcast is just a good propaganda tool to promote our side.
Wu Jianye is actually in favor of the above article, and it cannot be denied that there is a lot of propaganda news in it, but it also contains a lot of business opportunities.
For example, in the current news X broadcast, it is the old man's southern tour that is being broadcast!
Wu Jianye looked at the old man on TV, and his heart was full of thoughts.
The southern tour actually means that no one can stop the spring breeze of reform, and from now on, fewer and fewer people will ask again: the problem of the surname and the surname society!
This is actually a big business opportunity.
Chen Ming and the others were also very excited at this time, and they were naturally able to understand the meaning contained in it.
"Brother, it seems that there will be a lot less constraints on doing business in China in the future!" Chen Ming took the lead in saying.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Yes, from now on, you can also be bolder!"
The rest of the people nodded, but Huang Jianxin regretted a little on the side: "If there was such a thing last year, we might be able to invest less!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Everything has to have a step-by-step process, even if the old man is touring south, he will not be the first to take the turn of our industry, now it is actually quite good, we must learn to be content!"
A year in advance, document (3) appeared in advance, which is a very remarkable thing for Wu Jianye.
Some people may think that it's just a year's time, in fact, there are still many differences, the (3) document at this time, and the original time and space document 3, there are actually many differences, plus the establishment of Fengge Cinema, this is already a big advance for Chinese movies!
Even to a certain extent, it can be said that this advance is more than at least five years, if you count the detours taken in the domestic film reform, the advantages obtained by Wu Jianye can be compared with around 2000!
That's a gap of nearly a decade!
In another time and space, even if Document (3) appeared, the domestic film industry still experienced its most painful winter.
The number of moviegoers has plummeted, and the box office of a single film is not like hundreds of millions in the 80s, and there are not even a few 30 or 40 million films.
After the news was broadcast, Chen Ming and the others got up and said goodbye.
Gong Bin has been in Shanghai for a long time, and it's time to go back, but before going back, the two still have some people to visit.
For example, director Bai Chen, the director of "Under the Bridge" that the two collaborated on before!
After Bai Lao finished filming "Falling Mountain Wind" in 90, he completely retired, and he raised flowers at home for the past two years, but he was also very comfortable.
When Wu Jianye and Gong Bin came to Bai Lao's house, Bai Lao was watering the flowers, and he was also very happy after seeing Wu Jianye and Gong Bin .
As for the relationship between Wu Jianye and Gong Bin , Bai Lao didn't ask, at his age, especially as a director, his eyes are naturally very poisonous, but he also knows that there are some things that can't be asked.
"It's a pity that Xiao Gong doesn't make movies anymore!" Bai Lao still has some regrets about Gong Ying's death.
"You are one of the few spiritual actors I have ever seen, if you can do a good job in performance, your future achievements will definitely be very high!"
Gong Zhen smiled: "It's actually pretty good now, you have what you want to do, and the performance is still fate!"
Bai Lao nodded, and did not delve into this, and when he looked at Wu Jianye, who was sitting on the side, he also sighed a little.
"I've seen your new movie, although the arrangement of the story is a little weak, but the special effects in it are still very successful, and I was scared at the time!"
Wu Jianye smiled slightly, he still recognized Director Bai Chen's evaluation very much, although the story of "Jurassic Park" has not been criticized by too many people, but compared with feature films, there must still be many deficiencies in the story.
"I'm old, I couldn't believe anything before, I can see such real dinosaurs on the big screen, tell me how those dinosaurs were made!" Although director Bai Chen has retired, it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to movies, especially this "Jurassic Park" can be said to have changed many people's inherent understanding of film technology.
Especially in China, think about it, such special effects are the most advanced in North America, let alone in China!
When the movie was released, many viewers in China even thought that dinosaurs were real.
Wu Jianye told Director Bai Chen about the special effects production method of dinosaurs, and after listening to it, Director Bai Chen sighed: "I didn't expect that the current technology is so developed, and it is estimated that future movies will definitely use such technology!"
Wu Jianye nodded, to be honest, he was still a little surprised that Director Bai Chen could say such an opinion, after all, ordinary people can't think of this.
In fact, not everyone is interested in the emerging film technology, or even willing to accept them.
When the sound movie came out, Chaplin looked down on the sound movie and stubbornly made his own silent movie!
There are also many people who think that the appearance of movie special effects will break the artistry of the movie and make the movie lose its original artistry.
But Bai Lao can hit the nail on the head and say the direction of the future movie, which is already a very remarkable foresight!
"That's true, although I've come back from Hollywood, I've gotten the news that many studios have started to work on their own special effects films!" Wu said.
With the success of "Jurassic Park", it seems that several major Hollywood production companies have seen new hope, and they have begun to copy the success of "Jurassic Park", pursuing movies with big production and big special effects.
In fact, several major production companies have indeed found the right direction this time.
Director Bai Chen nodded, his experience in Xiangjiang has given him a lot of different views on movies than those in China, and he can also imagine what the film market will be like in the future.
Later, director Bai Chen was concerned about Wu Jianye's new film.
In fact, almost everyone in the domestic film industry is staring at Wu Jianye's new film plan, and some people who have a relationship with Wu Jianye, after seeing him again, will also ask him about the preparation plan of the new film.
Wu Jianye naturally did not hide it from Director Bai Chen, and told Director Bai Chen the story of his new film.
After listening to this, Director Bai Chen pondered for a long time before saying: "If you want to make this film, it will be more troublesome, first of all, the shooting location is very difficult to find, in fact, your film is more suitable for shooting in Hollywood!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "The idea of this movie was actually thought of when I was in Hollywood, but I am still going to shoot it in China, and as for the filming location, there are already people looking for it in coastal cities!"
Director Bai Chen nodded and said, "Okay, since you have this idea yourself, let's do it, I like the story of this movie very much!"
Wu Jianye said: "If you like it, please give me more opinions when the time comes!"
Bai Chen joked: "I don't dare to give you advice now, who doesn't know that Director Wu is our first director in China now!"
"Don't say that, I should be blushing!" said Wu Jianye.
"You still blush?" Director Bai Chen glanced at Wu Jianye.
The three of them chatted about the movie, Bai Chen's wife had already prepared lunch, Wu Jianye and Gong Bin were not polite, and finished lunch at Bai Lao's house before officially leaving.
After visiting Bai Lao, Gong Bin and Wu Qichen also got on the plane back to Xiangjiang.
And Wu Jianye was about to return to Yanjing when he received a call from an old friend.
"Xiao Wu, I heard that you are in Huhai?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very loud and enthusiastic.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Director Xie, aren't you filming "The Bells of Qingliang Temple"?"
It was Director Xie Jin who called Wu Jianye.
Xie Jin said with a smile: "The filming has already been completed, and now I am doing the post-production, I chatted with my friends yesterday, and I know about your coming to Huhai, you are not interesting enough, you didn't even call me when you came to Huhai!"
After the final meeting, Director Xie Jin obviously complained.
Although Director Xie is from Huhai, there is not much delicacy among Huhai people, but there are many northerners who are bold.
"I thought you were making a movie, so I didn't bother you. Wu Jianye tentatively asked, "Then let's have some drinks at night?"
Sure enough, as soon as Director Xie heard it, he immediately became interested, and laughed: "That's what I mean, then let's meet in the evening, just in time I have something I want to ask you!"
Wu Jianye agreed: "Nacheng, let's meet in the evening!"
In the evening, Wu Jianye came to the hotel, and the hotel that Director Xie was looking for may not be a luxury hotel, but it is definitely the most suitable hotel for drinking.
When Wu Jianye walked into the private room, he saw that Director Xie was already sitting there waiting for him.
"Director Xie, I'm sorry, I'm late, I've kept you waiting!" Wu Jianye hurriedly said.
Xie Jin smiled: "It's not late, it's not late, it's me who came early, but after all, I'm your senior, it's always bad to let your seniors wait for you, just punish yourself for three cups in a while!"
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly, although before coming, Wu Jianye was ready for a big drink today, but when facing Xie Jin, Wu Jianye's heart was always a little timid.
Director Xie Jin, two major abilities, making movies and drinking!
It's all top-notch!
However, this time, Director Xie Jin did not drink as soon as he came up, but pulled Wu Jianye to talk about business.
"Xiao Wu, I'm learning from you this time!" Director Xie Jin said seriously.
Wu Jianye was slightly stunned and asked, "Director Xie, don't say that, if there is anything, just ask!"
As the fourth generation of directors in China, Xie Jin not only has a very high achievement in directing, but also has a good reputation for supporting the younger generation, and none of the actors who work with him do not say that he is good.
Wu Jianye also admires Director Xie Jin very much, and it is not easy to be able to do what he does.
It would be better if you drank less!
"That's right, your court culture can be regarded as the earliest film and television company in our country, I also read the news of the old man's southern tour before, I think the spring of the movie should be coming, so I plan to open a film and television company myself, so I want to learn from you!" Director Xie Jin said.
Only then did Wu Jianye understand that Director Xie Jin's idea was originally for this matter.
In fact, Director Xie Jin did this, after the end of the old man's southern tour this year, within a few months, Director Xie established his own Xie Jin Hengtong Film and Television Co., Ltd., and in the second year, he founded Xie Jin Hengtong Star School.
That is, the School of Film and Television Media of Huhai Normal University.
Zhao Wei, Fan Binglu, Yan Yikuan, Chen Sicheng, Zhao Yihuan and others have all had the experience of studying here.
As the most well-known director in China, Director Xie naturally did not worry about investment after the film and television company he established, but in another time and space, the domestic film industry did not improve much because of this reform, not that the direction of reform is wrong, it is purely because in another time and space, the process of reform is a very cumbersome thing, and there is a lack of a strong thrust, so it was not until the end of the nineties that the domestic film industry saw the dawn.
If you have to find a familiar metaphor to describe the domestic film industry during this period, it can actually be described as Xiangjiang movies after 2000.
At this time, in the domestic film market, the real ticket issuer was basically Hollywood and Xiangjiang movies, and the domestic box office champion in 1994 was Hollywood's "The End of the World", which only had a box office of 25 million.
In 95, Cheng Long's movie "Red Fan Zone" let China know that there are Chinese New Year stalls, and at the same time it also hit a box office of 95 million in China, but the highest domestic box office this year was not Cheng Long's "Red Fan Zone", but Arnold Schwarzenegger's "True Lies", with a box office of 102 million!
"Titanic", which was released in 98, hit a super high box office of 360 million in China in one fell swoop!
And at this time, the domestic movie box office is only how much, and the box office of "Sunny Days" in 95 is 50 million, which is already an untouchable peak.
Therefore, after Director Xie created a film and television company, he did not make any money, but lost a lot, and there is a more vivid example during this time.
That is the film and television company founded by Chen Peisi, the film and television company founded by Chen Peisi can be said to be the earliest film and television company in China that integrates investment, production and distribution, and it has made a classic "Erzi series" movie, but it still makes Chen Peisi lose a lot!
Therefore, Wu Jianye's work is still a long way to go!
"It's no problem to set up a film and television company, if Director Xie has time, you can take a trip to Yanjing after the New Year to see how our court culture works!" Wu Jianye said.
Just because everyone has failed on another plane doesn't mean that this plane will still fail.
Because of the existence of Wu Jianye!
When Director Xie Jin heard this, he really showed a happy smile: "Okay, let's just say it, when will you go back to Yanjing?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I was originally going to go back today, but after receiving a call from Director Xie, it can only be tomorrow!"
