Chen Kaige went to Xiangjiang after New Year's Day, and met Zhang Guoyi at the Peninsula Hotel, the two chatted for a long time, and finally Zhang Guowei agreed to Chen Kaige's invitation without seeing the specific script, and made it clear that Cheng Dieyi was the role prepared for him!

After Zhang Guolu spent the New Year in Xiangjiang, he came to Yanjing in advance to prepare to be familiar with Peking Opera, and this study will take six months!

Zhang Guoxuan happened to arrive in Yanjing today, and Chen Kaige borrowed a good car from Tangting Culture to pick up Zhang Guolu.

In the evening, Chen Kaige held a banquet to entertain Zhang Guolu, and called Wu Jianye, hoping that Wu Jianye would also be able to pass, and Director Xie had also heard of Zhang Guolu here, and was also ready to join in the fun.

Wu Jianye naturally had no opinion.

In the evening, Wu Jianye drove to the hotel with Director Xie, and when he walked into the hotel, he could see the waiters here, and his expression was a little excited.

If Liu Dehao's popularity in China is now at the double S level, then Zhang Guolu has to be at the triple S level!

Wu Jianye smiled and came to the private room with Director Xie, and saw that not only Chen Kaige and Zhang Guoxuan were there, but Jiang Qian, who had not shown up for a long time, was also there, which made Wu Jianye a little curious.

After Zhang Guolu saw Wu Jianye, he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Director Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Yes, I didn't expect that when we met this time, it turned out to be in Yanjing, by the way, Andy just left two days ago!"

Zhang Guoqi smiled and said: "I know, after Andy went back, we met once, and he also specifically mentioned this matter, thank you very much Director Wu for your hospitality." ”

Chen Kaige smiled: "Okay, let's sit down and talk!"

After everyone sat down, Wu Jianye introduced Director Xie to Zhang Guoxuan, and when Zhang Guoxuan heard that Director Xie turned out to be the predecessor of Wu Jianye and others, he quickly stood up, shook hands with Director Xie and said, "Director Xie, hello, I am Xiangjiang actor Zhang Guoxuan!"

Seeing that Zhang Guolu was so polite, Director Xie also smiled and said: "Hello, hello, I have heard your name a long time ago, yes, it is different from those Hong Kong and Taiwan artists!"

Director Xie has naturally been in contact with a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, but he is the first one who knows how to be polite like Zhang Guolu!

Zhang Guoqi said: "Thank you, you're polite!"

Wu Jianye looked at Jiang Qian on the side and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Qian said sullenly: "I have seen the script of "Farewell My Concubine", in fact, I also want to play Cheng Dieyi, but Kaige does not agree!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said: "You play Cheng Dieyi, I think it's better to forget it, I don't understand, why some people just can't have a clear understanding of their appearance?"

Jiang Qian's face was slightly red and said, "Do I look ugly?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It's not ugly, on the contrary, it's very manly, so you can't play Cheng Dieyi!"

Zhang Guolu said dissatisfiedly: "Director Wu, then you mean that I don't have a man's taste anymore?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Of course not, it's not nonsense to be unrepresented, Rong Zai to be honest, I always think that you are the most suitable person to play this kind of role among Xiangjiang artists, but there is one thing I have to remind you!"

Zhang Guoxuan saw that Wu Jianye said seriously, his expression became a little solemn, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Jianye said: "It's not easy for you to get out of the role, although this will allow you to better integrate into the role, but you must know that acting is acting, you have to learn to withdraw from the role itself, otherwise you will be attacked in the future!"

This is Wu Jianye's heartfelt words, in his opinion, Zhang Guoxuan's success is undoubted, but the same is true of Zhang Guoxuan's tragedy, whether it is his later view of love or the tragedy of life, it is closely related to his difficulty in getting out of the role!

After Zhang Guoxuan listened, he also fell into deep thought, he knew his own things, and it was indeed not easy for him to get out of the role.

Director Xie added next to him: "What Xiao Wu said is this, some good actors are like this, you look at those people in our Peking Opera, some of them have played a character in their lives, and it is easy to distinguish between reality and performance ........"

Chen Kaige and Jiang Qian also expressed their opinions one after another, providing a way to withdraw from the role.

Zhang Guoxuan also nodded again and again, although everyone's method is not necessarily suitable for Zhang Guoxuan, but it can provide Zhang Guoxuan with a direction.

After a while, as the photographer of "Farewell My Concubine", Gu Changwei also came to the hotel.

"Why are you here?" asked Chen Kaige.

After Gu Changwei sat down, he took a sip of water before saying, "Isn't this helping you to ask for Gong Li's news?"

Jiang Qian said next to him: "So, the heroine of "Farewell My Concubine" has confirmed Gong Li?"

Chen Kaige nodded and said, "Yes, the role of Ju Xian, I am more optimistic about Gong Li!"

Jiang Qian said: "When you say that, it's true!"

Some people call Gong Li the muse of the fifth generation of directors, which is actually from Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and almost all of their pinnacle works are with Gong Li.

This also made Gong Li's prestige in the nineties!

Wu Jianye said on the side: "I remember that Gong Li's previous play was "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", which played a rural woman, you let her suddenly change so much, it must be a little uncomfortable, you had better let Gong Li be familiar with the role in advance!"

Chen Kaige nodded and said, "I know, during the time when Zhang Guolu is studying Peking Opera, I will let her read more information!"

Gu Changwei said on the side: "You have to hurry up on this matter, Lao Mouzi is also preparing a new film now, I guess it will have to be Gong Li, and then you two will have to string together." ”

After speaking, Gu Changwei glanced at Wu Jianye again and said, "By the way, when I saw Gong Li just now, Lao Mouzi was also beside him, saying that there are some things I want to talk to you about!"

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned, and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, since you saw him just now, just let the two of them come over, I'm going to Qiong Province soon, how can I have time to see him then!"

Gu Changwei said aggrievedly: "How did I know that you were also here!"

Wu Jianye took out the phone, handed it to Gu Changwei, and said, "You call him and let him come over too!"

Gu Changwei took Wu Jianye's Tu Nan mobile phone and went out to call Zhang Yimou, while the others on the side asked curiously, "Have you chosen the place to film?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Zhao Fei called today, he found a good place in Qiong Province, which is more suitable for my new drama shooting, I am going to go over and see it during this time!"

Jiang Qian said exaggeratedly on the side: "There's a good show to watch now, the three of you are going to face each other!"

When Chen Kaige heard Jiang Qian say this, there was also a spark in his eyes, and now many media have compared Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, and Zhang Yimou together.

And Chen Kaige belongs to the lowest evaluation of the three, according to his proud character, naturally he can't bear it, there is nothing more than a head-to-head duel, more to explain the status of the three.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You just don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, by the way, how about you study "Animal Ferocious"?"

Jiang Qian said helplessly: "I'm still changing the script, I've fucked it several times, and I'm still not satisfied." Then Jiang Qian added: "By the way, Xiaolong found me before, and now he has a script for a TV series in his hand and hopes I can go over to help?"

Wu Jianye said: "What script?"

Jiang Qian said: "It seems to tell the story of Yanjing people in New York!"

Wu Jianye nodded, he already knew in his heart that this was the script, and asked: "This script, I know, Li Xiaowan told me before that it was funded and filmed by Tangting Culture!"

Jiang Qian immediately became interested and asked, "So you've also read the script, how about it, can you give an opinion?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If I were you, I would take this script, the script is a good script, and Xiaolong has no problem with the director, plus the subject matter, after this TV series comes out, it will cause a big sensation!"

The TV series script that Wu Jianye and Jiang Qian said is actually the sensational "Yanjing People in New York" in the 90s!

Jiang Qian saw that Wu Jianye was also very satisfied with the script of this TV series, so he smiled and said: "Nacheng, since you are so optimistic about this TV series, then I will call Xiaolong tomorrow, and I will take this TV series!"

Wu Jianye said: "Smart choice!"

Zhang Guolu has seen Jiang Qian's performance, and he also admires Jiang Qian very much as an actor, in the past, Zhang Guolu only knew that Wu Jianye also had a high influence in China, but he didn't have any specific concepts.

Now I see several of the most outstanding filmmakers in China, before shooting the movie, it seems that they all want to consult Wu Jianye's opinion, which makes him have a clearer impression of Wu Jianye's influence in China.

asked curiously: "Director Wu, is your new movie the leading actor decided?"

Chen Kaige hurriedly said: "Zhang Sheng, we have already signed a contract!"

Zhang Guoxuan's face turned red, but he still smiled: "You misunderstood, I'm just purely curious about Director Wu's new movie will use that actor!"

It's not easy to guess about the actors of Wu Jianye's new movie, after all, Wu Jianye's influence is not limited to domestic, but global, and it's really not easy to guess his actors.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "The female protagonist has been decided, as for the male protagonist, if there is no accident, it will be Zhou Xingchi!"

"Xingzai!" Zhang Guoxuan was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Wu Jianye's male protagonist would be Zhou Xingchi, "What are you going to shoot is a comedy?"

What kind of actor is Zhou Xingchi, and none of the people sitting there know more than Zhang Guoxuan, so when Wu Jianye said that the starring role would be Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Guoxuan's first impression was that these two people were a little mismatched!

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It's not a comedy, it's a drama!"

The other people here have also heard of Zhou Xingchi, and like Zhang Guoxuan, they didn't expect that Wu Jianye's new film would choose Zhou Xingchi as the male lead.

Zhang Guoxuan said: "Xingzai's current schedule is not easy to adjust!"

At this time in Xiangjiang, the name of Double Monday has already been called, and Zhou Xingchi has also become one of the highest-grossing movie actors in Xiangjiang, and the schedule can be scheduled until next year.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "The schedule is not a problem!"

At this time, Zhang Guolu thought of Wu Jianye's status in Xiangjiang, to be honest, there is really no actor in Xiangjiang who can refuse the movie directed by Wu Jianye, which is not only Wu Jianye's influence in directing, but also the existence of Fengge Media, which also makes it impossible for any star to ignore the existence of Wu Jianye.

At this time, Zhang Yimou also came to the hotel with Gong Li.

At this time, in the private room, sitting, Wu Jianye, Xie Jin, Chen Kaige, Zhang Guolu, Jiang Qian, Gu Changwei, and now with Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, it has obviously become the top dinner party in the domestic film industry.

Zhang Yimou was also very excited when he saw Wu Jianye, and said, "I called you in the morning, why didn't you answer?"

Wu Jianye smiled, "I guess I didn't hear it, listen to Gu Changwei, you have something to find me, what is the matter?"

Zhang Yimou hurriedly said: "I want to adapt the "Alive" you wrote!"

Wu Jianye only then knew why Zhang Yimou was looking for himself, Zhang Yimou in this time and space has one less "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and many of the ideas of filming have been advanced, and now this "Alive" is the same!

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to shoot, shoot it, has the script been written?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have already contacted Lu Wei and asked him to be the screenwriter of my movie!"

Wu Jianye: "Nacheng, you can prepare, but I can tell you, I wrote "Alive", I know what is going on, if you want to adapt the movie, after it is filmed, it is very likely that it will not be released in China!"

Zhang Yimou didn't think about it so much, and said: "Let's talk about it later, I want to make this movie now!"

Wu Jianye: "It's good to be mentally prepared!"

In fact, when Wu Jianye wrote this book before, he also thought about adapting this movie, but now Wu Jianye no longer needs to use the movie "Alive" to enhance his international influence, and there are too many sensitive topics in this movie, Wu Jianye doesn't want to make trouble for himself, and now that Zhang Yimou wants to adapt it, he naturally has no opinion.

Seeing that Wu Jianye agreed, Zhang Yimou immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then this matter is settled!"

Wu Jianye asked casually: "Have you thought about who the leading actor will use?"

Zhang Yimou said: "Jiazhen's role is still Gong Li, and the other candidates have not been selected yet!"

Chen Kaige hurriedly said on the side: "Lao Mouzi, when will your movie start?"

Now the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li has long been an open secret, if Zhang Yimou's movie also uses Gong Li, Chen Kaige really can't compete with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have to carve it well in the early stage!"

Chen Kaige breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Yimou say this.

Gong Li listened to the two most powerful directors of the young generation in China on the side, arguing about their current period, and her heart was still beautiful.

However, after glancing at Wu Jianye, I still sighed a little in my heart, after all, Wu Jianye is now the well-deserved number one among domestic directors!

But Gong Li has never starred in Wu Jianye's movies.

Wu Jianye said again: "Wealth is the soul of this movie, do you want to use anyone?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "Not yet!"

Wu Jianye said: "I recommend you a candidate, when I first met him, I felt that he was the wealth I thought in my heart!"
