Chapter 261 "The Last Emperor" (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
"Pasta is not as delicious as jajangmyeon!"
In an ordinary Western restaurant on Lido Island, Wu Jianye and others sat together, and Grange Zhuang ate pasta and expressed his opinions.
"I think it's good!" Li Xiaoli was eating very happily beside her.
Ning Ying smiled: "Don't bother with him, when he was in school, he had a lot of things!"
Li Xiangyang elegantly cut the steak on his plate and said with a smile: "A plate of pasta is enough for you to eat fried noodles in Sijiu City for a week, and you are still not satisfied!"
Grange Zhuang pouted, "If it's expensive and delicious, gold is even more expensive, do you dare to eat it?"
Several people have long been accustomed to bickering, and they will not be idle even if they eat.
Wu Jianye pointed to the pizza on the table and said, "There is a joke about pizza in Xiangjiang, have you heard it?"
Li Xiaoli became interested: "I like to listen to Lao Wu's stories the most, come, tell me!"
"Wu Dalang, you all know it, right?" Seeing that everyone else was also looking at him, Wu Jianye smiled.
"I still know Pan Jinlian!" Zhao Fei said, holding the red wine in his hand.
"In the joke in Xiangjiang, pizza is actually the cooking cake sold by Wu Dalang, and the pasta was rewarded by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty when Marco Polo was in China!"
"Poof!"
Fang Shu couldn't help laughing, "Old Wu, you're too funny, aren't you, the pizza is a cooking cake bought by Wu Dalang, and the pasta is brought back to Italy by Marco Polo?"
Wu Jianye said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Why don't you believe it!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Okay, in fact, I don't believe much either, but who can say for sure about history, then let me ask you, do you know anything about Wu Dalang?"
"Who doesn't know Wu Dalang!" Wang Honghai said as a matter of course: "Isn't it Wu Song's brother in "Water Margin", his daughter-in-law put on a hat, and was poisoned by Pan Jinlian and Ximenqing!"
Wu Jianye smiled and clinked glasses with Wang Honghai and said, "Da Lang, drink the medicine!"
Wang Honghai couldn't laugh or cry: "Get out!"
"Old Wu, do you mean to say that there are other versions of Wu Dalang!"
"Of course there is!" Wu Jianye nodded and continued: "In the real history, Wu Dalang does have his own person, but he is not a three-inch Ding at all, but a young talent, and he has obtained fame and became the county commander of Qingyang, and Pan Jinlian's home is not far from Wu Dalang's home. ”
"Really?" Li Xiaoli looked at Wu Jianye suspiciously: "Old Wu, you won't be joking, right?"
Wu Jianye pursed his lips, "Who is joking with you, the content in it was originally made up, let alone Wu Dalang, Chen Shimei, you know, in real history, people are not scumbags who abandon their wives and children at all, but a clean official who is honest, upright, and sensitive to the people's feelings."
Regarding the origin of the Quanmei case, it is simply made up by the villain's jealousy, in Chen Shimei's hometown, there is a saying in Junxian County: Beimen Street does not sing Chen Shimei, and Qinjialou does not sing Qin Xianglian. ”
Ning Ying blinked, "Old Wu, you are looking at all these things from there." ”
Wu Jianye stroked his hair, "Of course I saw it in the book!"
Then he added: "So a lot of things are not enough to prove it, everyone can just watch it for fun, don't be more serious, many things are fictional, Taoyuan three knots, empty city plan, these histories do not exist!"
Grange: "So, many of the stories we know are actually fake!"
"Damn, the fake can be circulated for so long, and it looks like the real thing, if you ask ordinary people, there must be few people who know this!" Zhao Fei couldn't help but complain.
"The literati's pen is the real murderous heart, so you must not offend me, otherwise I will be in a hurry that day, I will write a book about our 78 class, and portray you one by one as hateful villains...... Zhuangzhuang, don't look at me, the first one to write is you, and you are definitely portrayed as a foodie who only knows how to eat, and a villain who can give up his principles for the sake of a roast chicken!"
Grange: "Cut!"
.......
Just when Wu Jianye and others were eating and chatting, Lido Island became more and more lively because of the arrival of the Venice Film Festival, Wu Jianye and others came late, and there was no place to live, but some real big names, internationally renowned actors and stars, are different.
They almost stepped on the point, and as for the accommodation and transportation, people were not worried at all, and the major hotels had already reserved rooms for them.
Reporters from Europe and the United States and other countries also came to Lido Island early, although some people also saw Wu Jianye and others, but they with Asian faces could not attract the attention of reporters at all.
What they really pay attention to is the stars of Europe and the United States, and Asia is nothing more than a cultural desert in their eyes at this time, and there is nothing to shoot at all.
It's useless for Kurosawa to come, some of these paparazzi don't know each other, and they still pay the most attention to celebrities.
So now, Wu Jianye's group of people only belong to the small transparent level here.
When everyone returned to the hotel, they saw countless sexy girls in scantily dressing around the head, accosting them next to the hotel.
"Surprised?"
Looking at Zhao Fei's curious gaze, Li Xiangyang said with a smile: "These women are all small stars and actors from all over the world who take advantage of the film festival to find opportunities. ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his hands, revealing an expression that all men understand: "It's not much more advanced than the eight major alleys before Sijiu City!"
Zhao Fei and others: "??huh?"
In his last life, Wu Jianye went to the Cannes Film Festival, saw the style there, and said with a smile: "This beautiful seaside island is a competition venue and a sound field!"
"That's the reason!" Ning Ying said with a complicated expression: "Only when I come abroad do I know that our domestic situation is much cleaner than here." ”
"In Europe and the United States, if you want to become famous, it is not so simple, not only do you need pure acting skills, but you also have to be a person, and at the same time, you have to be able to give up!"
Wu Jianye didn't know that he took a cigarette there, lit it with himself, and spit out a smoke ring: "There is a sacrifice to gain!"
Li Xiaoli asked curiously, "What about the male star?"
"Same!"
Li Xiaoli patted her chest and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, we were born in China!"
Wu Jianye glanced at her with deep eyes, and really didn't want to tell them that the Chinese entertainment industry in a few decades is not much better than the current Europe and the United States.
Of course, what Wu Jianye admires the most is the entertainment industry of the stick, which is called a fresh and refined .......
In the lobby of the hotel, Wu Jianye saw a fat man and a scantily clad woman, chatted for a few words, and the two were tired of being together.
After the fat man saw Wu Jianye, his eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words in the ear of the woman beside him, and then came over.
"You're the author of Jurassic Park, Kun?"
Wu Jianye glanced at this fat man with interest, now the fat man is not awesome, he is not the most powerful independent producer in Hollywood, and naturally it is not yet time for everyone to push the wall.
Now he is just a small independent producer in Hollywood, looking for film sources all over the world, and studios in Europe and the United States are not easy to deceive, so they can only fool Asians first.
"Not bad!" Wu Jianye shook his head.
"Oh, my god, I didn't expect it to be you, I watched all of your "Jurassic Park" trilogy, I like it very much, I'm your loyal book lover!" The fat man laughed, the meat on his face dangling, "By the way, Kun, are you coming to the Venice Film Festival this time?"
In July this year, the third part of "Jurassic Park" was also officially launched, and it won the top position on the best-selling list in Europe and the United States on the same day.
"One of my films was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival!" Wu Jianye still laughed.
"The Red Lantern Hangs High?" the fat man asked, then introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Studios in Hollywood, you can call me Harvey!"
The big guy also started as a younger brother.
If Harvey Weinstein is put in twenty years, he will definitely not take the initiative to talk to Wu Jianye and others, even if he goes to him, he has to see if people have that nature to see you.
But now it's different, Miramax Films can only be regarded as the youngest brother of the little brother in Hollywood at this time, so he can only be a little brother.
Wu Jianye shook hands with Harvey and said with a smile: "I don't know Mr. Harvey, is there anything else?"
Harvey laughed and said, "That's right, I'm very interested in Kun's "Jurassic Park", I don't know if you have any ideas to make him into a movie, we at Miramax Films very much hope to get the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park"!"
The listing of the "Jurassic Park" trilogy not only detonated the European and American book markets, but also caused a lot of sensation in Hollywood, even if Wu Jianye has made it clear that the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" are not sold, there are still countless film companies that have approached Linda, hoping to buy it.
The latest offer has risen to $700,000!
Wu Jianye looked at Harvey with a smile: "I don't buy the adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park", I have repeated this matter many times, I'm sorry, Mr. Harvey, my friend is still waiting for me!"
Looking at Wu Jianye's back, Harvey's horizontal flesh revealed a hint of essence, he would not just give up, and then he took out the promotional leaflet of this Venice Film Festival and found the publicity about "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
Released on September 1st?
Wu Jianye's side is light and light, but Ning Ying and Li Xiangyang can't be calm, Tianzhuang and others only know that Wu Jianye has released it abroad, but they don't know what the situation is.
But Ning Ying and Li Xiangyang are different, they have been in Italy for more than two years, so they naturally know what "Jurassic Park" means in Europe and the United States.
At this moment, their hearts were pounding, and their faces were incredible, as if they had seen aliens!
"Old Wu, are you Kun?" Back in the room where they were staying, Li Xiangyang looked at Wu Jianye with a surprised expression.
Wu Jianye did not deny it: "Yes!"
Li Xiangyang shook his head and muttered to himself: "No wonder, no wonder!"
Zhao Fei pushed Li Xiangyang curiously and asked, "Lao Li, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiangyang smiled bitterly: "You don't know if you are not abroad, let me tell you the simplest example, the third part of "Jurassic Park" written by Lao Wu is the third part on the market this year, and among the top ten best-selling lists in Europe and the United States, the third part is now ranked first, the second part is ranked third, and the first part is ranked sixth! I heard that all American film companies want to buy the adaptation rights of this one!"
Everyone looked at Wu Jianye at this time, as if they were looking at a monster, they really didn't expect that Wu Jianye would create such a big name abroad without saying a word.
Wang Honghai asked curiously: "Is that an old nose?"
Li Xiangyang: "There are several old noses, at least 10 million US dollars!"
"How much!" Li Xiaoli couldn't help but shout.
"Ten million dollars!" Li Xiangyang repeated.
"Old Wu, you are hiding deep enough!" Li Xiaoli said immediately.
Wu Jianye waved his hand: "Low-key, low-key, do you want to be low-key!"
Looking at Wu Jianye's pretending to be forced, everyone was powerless to complain at this time, what does 10 million US dollars mean, they don't know, and they can't calculate it, when it is still very rare to have 10,000 yuan of households in China, Wu Jianye has created a wealth of 10 million US dollars abroad.......
At this time, they felt that they and Wu Jianye were people of two worlds.
Ning Ying, who had not spoken beside her, suddenly said, "Old Wu, did you still write a book of "The Last Emperor"?"
"Yes!" Wu Jianye nodded.
"The Last Emperor" is well-known for the film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, which is based on Pu Yi's memoir "The First Half of My Life" and Pu Yi's tutor Johnston's book "Twilight in the Forbidden City".
However, last year, Wu Jianye had already written the movie with the same name in Xiangjiang and handed it to Linda, so that she was in charge of the distribution in Europe and the United States.
Although this one did not cause a sensation in Europe and the United States like "Jurassic Park", it still attracted a lot of attention.
Ning Ying said seriously: "Old Wu, my teacher is very interested in this one, he has said more than once that he wants to adapt this into a movie, for this reason, he has contacted the distribution company in the United States many times, and wants to talk to the author of this book, but I didn't expect it to be this one written by you!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Then what do you mean?"
"My teacher is the chairman of the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival, and now he is on Lido Island, I think if he knows that you are here, he will definitely be interested in meeting you!" Ning Ying said happily.
Interested in meeting you!
Why does this sound so harsh, as if it is a charity from the other party.
However, Wu Jianye didn't show it, and said with a smile: "I think it's better to wait for the end of the conference!"
Ning Ying asked incomprehensibly, "Why?"
Wu Jianye: "I hope that "The Red Lantern Hangs High" can run in a fair environment!"
Ning Ying thought for a moment before nodding: "I know, you don't want others to say that you made some kind of deal with my teacher in private to make your movie win!"
Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything.
Trade?
I'm afraid it's impossible!
