Tom Cruise didn't show too surprised expression, and said: "This is understandable, Spielberg once told me that this Wu Jianye, as a director, sold the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" to Phantom Entertainment, and must have an idea for this movie!"

Although Tom Cruise is not of Jewish descent, he has always had a good relationship with Spielberg, and the two have collaborated since entering the millennium.

Dustin Hoffman smiled: "If that's the case, then Phantom Entertainment is probably going to suffer a heavy blow." ”

Looking at Tom Cruise's somewhat puzzled eyes, Dustin Hoffman explained: "Although this Wu Jianye has made several good independent movies, if you really want to shoot "Jurassic Park" Then this movie is bound to be produced in Hollywood, I have seen this, it involves dinosaurs, it is a technical problem, if you want to overcome these problems, it will be an astronomical number, Wu Jianye, a Chinese director, can you get this investment is a word, plus this is a science fiction movie, do you think a Chinese film director can make a movie that meets the preferences of mainstream audiences in Europe and the United States?"

In fact, this is also the view of mainstream filmmakers in Europe and the United States on Wu Jianye, he can make Chinese movies with beautiful pictures, although these films are very popular at European film festivals, but to put it bluntly, these films can only belong to niche films in Europe and the United States.

is not accepted by mainstream audiences, and now if the movie "Jurassic Park" is really going to be filmed, then what he has to face is not just a simple niche, but more importantly, it must be accepted by mainstream audiences in Europe and the United States, otherwise the sky-high investment will become a huge loss.

Then this will greatly reduce the impression that Phantom Entertainment has created in Hollywood to invest huge profits.

Tom Cruise thought for a while, then understood what Dustin Hoffman meant, and said with a smile: "It seems that this Chinese film director is bound to be hit by that time!"

Dustin Hoffman said with some pity: "It's a pity that "Jurassic Park" is indeed a very suitable film adaptation!"

Tom Cruise nodded, and he didn't deny it.

The opening ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival is not as grand as the closing ceremony, it belongs to an appearance of the film crews of various units, and after walking the red carpet and accepting an interview with the media, the opening ceremony is basically over.

Wu Jianye was also stopped by reporters.

"Director Wu, hello, I am a reporter from the British "Screen International", this time Director Wu, your film "New Dragon Gate Inn" was selected for the Berlin Film Festival, as far as we know, this is your third film, the previous "Red Lantern Hangs High" won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and "The Last Emperor" won the best director at the Cannes Film Festival.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "If I can come to the Berlin Film Festival, I naturally hope to win the award, there is no doubt about it, but in the end, it depends on the choice of the judges!"

The reporter of "Screen International", after listening, also showed a happy smile, this is not the first time he has participated in the European Film Festival, although it is the first time to visit a Chinese director, but his colleagues have also interviewed Chinese directors before.

But their answers are often in the tone that participation is victory, a tone that is not at all popular in Europe and the United States.

Now Wu Jianye's answer is much in line with the psychology of European and American readers.

"So Director Wu, which one do you admire the most among the selected movies this year?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Naturally, I appreciate my own "New Dragon Gate Inn" the most, just kidding, other movies must be excellent if they can be selected, but I haven't seen some movies yet, and I can only answer your question after watching it." ”

"Director Wu, in the past few years, every movie you have shot is a different type of movie, and the "New Dragon Gate Inn" brought to the Berlin Film Festival this time is a magical action movie, what type of film will you try in your next film?"

"New Dragon Gate Inn" has been released in Europe, but unlike Southeast Asian audiences, who position this movie as a martial arts movie, in Europe and the United States, more audiences position this movie as a magic movie.

The reason for this is also that people can't laugh or cry.

The fighting scenes of "New Dragon Gate Inn" are so beautiful, these local buns in Europe and the United States haven't even watched a few serious action scenes, as for the action scenes like Schwarzenegger and Stallone, they are more showing off their muscles.

Therefore, after "New Dragon Gate Inn" came to Europe and the United States, it was immediately considered by European and American audiences to be an action movie with a magical genre.

"First of all, I want to say that this movie is not a magical action movie, in our Huaxia for this type of movie, there is a general term, called martial arts movie, as for the next movie, I am not sure now, it may be a romance movie, or it may be a science fiction film!"

"Martial arts movies?" The reporter from "Screen International" repeated Wu Jianye's answer and asked, "Is it like Bruce Lee's Kong Fu movie before?"

Today's most well-known Chinese actor in the world is still the deceased Li Xiaolong, in fact, twenty or thirty years later, Li Xiaolong still has a good reputation in the international film industry.

In another time and space, among the Chinese actors, the two dragons who have achieved the highest international popularity are Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long.

However, what makes Wu Jianye more speechless is that these two actors, who have won countless honors for Chinese films overseas, have to face harsh criticism from many people in China.

At that time, there were a handful of Chinese people, even New Huaxia had been established for decades, and the servility on their bodies had not been eliminated, thinking that their countrymen were not worthy of such an honor, so they smeared the two actors in various ways.

thinks that Li Xiaolong is just a false appearance, not a martial arts master at all, but just touted by others, especially after seeing Li Xiaolong smeared in a movie shot by foreigners, not only did he not feel indignant, but he complacently revealed a picture that I already knew was like this.

But I don't know if Li Xiaolong has not really made indelible achievements, how can the word KONG FU appear in the ranks of English?

The same is true for Cheng Long, although in later life, Cheng Long is already old, and it is impossible to shoot the peak state of his youth, but with his ability to film desperately at such an advanced age, without a stand-in, and the attitude of going down in person in dangerous action scenes, it is enough to make people respect and admire.

But look at the attitude of some Chinese people?

The culture of thousands of years in China has raised a group of servile people in just a few decades, and sometimes it really makes people feel helpless and pathetic.

"To be precise, martial arts movies also belong to a branch of action movies, a branch of movies unique to China, I believe you have also seen this movie, why don't you tell me about this movie?" Wu Jianye asked rhetorically.

The reporter replied with some excitement: "Very beautiful, it is a very beautiful movie, I like this movie very much, not only is it beautiful, but I also like the political metaphors in it very much!"

Wu Jianye showed a wry smile in his heart, a political metaphor, he really didn't think so, it was just a foreshadowing for the second part.

However, Wu Jianye couldn't remind them of this, so he just smiled and said: "I hope that more European audiences will like this type of movie in the future!"

After the interview, Wu Jianye went to Moritz to invite him.

Also accompanied by Chen Kaige.

At this time, Berlin was actually divided into East Berlin and West Berlin, just like the two Germanys.

As the host city of the Berlin Film Festival, it is actually West Berlin, West Germany is rich, East Germany is poor, and East and West Germany are separated by a Berlin Wall, just like the North and South Dynasties across the 38th parallel.......

The three of them sat in a café and chatted about the gap between the film cultures of the East and the West, and Wu Jianye found that Moritz had a strong desire to integrate the cultures of the East and the West in a film.

Wu Jianye said: "This is very difficult, culture is the heritage of a nation, any nation has its own unique culture, it is a very difficult thing to integrate film culture with national culture, let alone integrate the cultures of the East and the West." ”

This is Wu Jianye's idea, not to mention now, even in the future, if a movie wants to achieve both word-of-mouth and box office success in both the East and the West, Wu Jianye can't pick out a few.

"The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump" and other movies that are regarded as classics by countless people, although the reputation of "The Shawshank Redemption" is better, let alone in the East, it is also a box office hit in North America, as for movies like "Forrest Gump", although it has won a high box office in North America, a high reputation, and a high reputation in the East, Wu Jianye dares to conclude that if such a movie is really released in the East, it can only be a popular movie.

And the Marvel hero movies of later generations, although they have also won a good reputation and amazing box office, they have also been criticized by a group of senior filmmakers for not being movies at all.

And Chinese movies, "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" are known as the two monumental movies in the domestic film industry, what is the result, both films have been banned in China, and the box office of these two films in Europe and the United States and other places is only a few million dollars.

Moritz smiled: "It is precisely because of the difficulties that there is value in doing, and I hope to be able to make such a film in Berlin in the future!"

Wu Jianye did not entangle more with Moritz on this topic, and it is not surprising that Moritz has such an idea, as a pure filmmaker, it is understandable that he has such a pursuit, and finally added a sentence that he hopes to appear in such a film at the Berlin Film Festival, but it is only out of his own interests.

Therefore, no matter how pure a person is, what he pursues in the end is also interests, but the interests here are not necessarily monetary.

Name is also a kind of interest appeal!

When Chen Kaige was said by Moritz on the side, he felt that what Moritz said was his own heart, and now he is different from another time and space, although Chen Kaige in another time and space also went to Hollywood to study, but at that time he was a marginal figure for Hollywood.

So even if he stayed there for two years, he didn't really get what he wanted, but this time it was different, with the help of Phantom Entertainment, Chen Kaige participated in the production of two or three Hollywood movies.

This made Chen Kaige learn a lot of things, and it is precisely because of this that the proud Chen Kaige thinks that as long as he returns to China after completing his studies, he can cause a sensation again.

He wants to make a movie like Moritz said and shock the world!

Huaxia's movies must be revitalized in the hands of my Chen Kaige!

"Yes, Lao Wu, I have countless ideas now, if it weren't for the fact that there are still many things I haven't learned in North America, I can't wait to return to China to shoot a new movie!" Chen Kaige said excitedly.

Wu Jianye: "Hehe!"

Moritz said on the side: "Hollywood films pay more attention to the production of industrial assembly lines, although it helps the development of the film industry, but it does not have more benefits for the film itself, Chen, I still suggest that you can take some time to walk around European countries, movies can't just be movies!"

Movies can't just be movies!

This is the view of European filmmakers on film, they believe that in addition to its own value, film should also bear more social responsibility or deeper meaning.

Wu Jianye has a different view on this.

"I think a movie should be just a movie, as for the meaning outside the movie itself, that is given by the audience, as a filmmaker, you should pay all the attention to the movie itself, instead of thinking about the meaning outside the movie, those meanings are interpreted by the audience themselves, not the filmmaker deliberately adds to the movie!"

When "Journey to the West" was released, the box office hit the streets, and word of mouth hit the streets, but when it was delivered to China, after being interpreted by countless people, the so-called postmodernist analysis appeared, which were actually added by the audience themselves.

Wu Jianye has watched interviews including Zhou Xingchi, Liu Zhenwei, Wu Mengda, Luo Jiaying and others, when they were filming, no one thought about the meaning contained in this movie, they just wanted to make a movie worthy of the audience, and those so-called interpretations made them even more confused.

A movie can only be a movie!

Moritz shook his head and disagreed with Wu Jianye's statement, "Movies are like books, they can be circulated, if we just make movies for the sake of making movies, then we are sorry for the mission that this era has given us as filmmakers!"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "The mission of a filmmaker is to make a qualified movie, and you can also add your own ideas to the movie, but the most important thing about the movie is to be responsible for the audience, and other missions are just meaningless things that filmmakers add to themselves, and if you care too much about these things, you will lose the charm of the movie itself." ”

The two sides went back and forth, each explaining their own views on the movie, and the old and the young even blushed and almost slapped the table in the end.

Chen Kaige, who was watching, was shocked.

But in the end, neither of the two convinced.

"Wu, I am very happy to talk to you this time, and I hope that this conversation can be more in the future!" Moritz said heartily as the three separated.

The argument does not mean that the two sides will turn against each other, just like the argument between Wu Jianye and Grange Zhuang when I was in school, everyone described their own opinions, but after the quarrel, they were still good classmates.......

At this time, Chen Kaige had no way to understand this, so when he saw Wu Jianye and Moritz hugging and saying goodbye, he couldn't understand it very much!

The trio returned to the hotel.

Moritz returned to his room, while Chen Kaige was left behind by Wu Jianye.

"You don't forget that you still owe me a meal!" Wu Jianye smiled.
