Chapter 984: Interview (4100+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
No. 5 Yard of Maoer Hutong!
Yanjing at the end of July is unusually hot, and the sound of cicadas seems to tell the world that the summer is hot.
Under the jujube tree are two rattan chairs and a rattan table, and on the table are two cans of very Coke that have just been taken out of the refrigerator, and the cold air can be seen emitting from the hot air.
In this kind of weather, even if there is a wind blowing, it is a hot wind, if it weren't for the shade of those two jujube trees, Wu Jianye would not have been interviewed outside.
Isn't it nice to have air conditioning in the house?
Jiang Ze, the host of CCTV, was wearing a black suit, sitting next to Wu Jianye, and said with a smile: "Director Wu, I have also seen a lot of courtyards in the past two years, but it is the first time I have seen it if it can be preserved so completely!"
The recording has not yet begun, and the two sides are now exchanging pleasantries.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I also started early, and later invited some experts to help recover, so this is what you see now!"
Wu Jianye's identity as the owner of the Lakers has been exposed, and there is nothing to hide about the situation in Mao'er Hutong, and besides, Wu Jianye has called them here, so naturally he has no intention of keeping a low profile in this matter!
Jiang Ze also sighed a lot in his heart, for Wu Jianye's matter, this time was actually a lot of touches for them as news people.
Tangting culture and the NBA Lakers are two things that are incompatible, but I didn't expect it to appear in one person.
The most important thing is that as the ace host of the TV station, Jiang Ze still knows something about the relationship between Tangting Culture and CCTV, and he never thought that CCTV would take the initiative to seek peace with Tangting Culture.
But obviously, this kind of thing is not the problem of this interview.
After a while of greetings, the interview officially began.
In this interview, Jiang Ze actually asked in two directions, one is about the court culture, and the other is about the NBA Lakers!
"Director Wu, we all know now that Tangting Culture is now the best film company in China, and the scope of investment covers almost the entire entertainment sector in China, is this something you had thought of before founding Tangting Culture?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Of course not, when Tangting Culture was founded, there was no similar entertainment company in China, and we were also crossing the river by feeling the stones, slowly groping for development, to say that there was an overall plan, in fact, it was officially planned after the company developed!"
Jiang Ze also agrees with this answer very much, as Wu Jianye said, when Tangting Culture was founded, there was no similar company in China, and Jiang Ze didn't think that Wu Jianye already had a comprehensive plan at that time!
In fact, in the following interview about the court culture, Jiang Ze also put the problem on the development process of the court culture, such as the funds of the court culture, in the hearts of most people, the court culture seems to have never been short of money, they don't know the situation of Wu Jianye, so there are actually a lot of doubts about the fact that the court culture can always develop so smoothly!
For example, when Tangting Culture was just founded, the first movie "The Last Emperor" was filmed, the original investment of this movie was 25 million US dollars, and at that time 25 million US dollars was a very large investment, and Tangting Culture naturally couldn't take out the money, so it was later introduced to the domestic Chinese film, and the phantom of Hollywood was considered to have enough funds!"
Jiang Ze asked: "But according to the news we got, when we were filming "The Last Emperor", China Film was only responsible for the support of domestic filming resources, and it was Tangting Culture and Phantom Pictures that really contributed the funds, so did Tangting Culture already have so much funds at that time?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Tangting Culture was founded by me alone, and at that time, I happened to have a sum of money in my hand, so I naturally invested it!"
Jiang Ze asked curiously: "Director Wu, in fact, everyone has been very curious until now, how did you earn your first pot of gold, is it really because of the books you wrote, as everyone discussed?"
Wu Jianye replied: "The funds for the establishment of Tangting Culture and the investment in the movie "The Last Emperor" really started with the income from those books!"
Wu Jianye's first pot of gold naturally didn't rely on those books, but this kind of thing naturally can't be said, for example, in Wu Jianye's opinion, his first pot of gold is actually the thousands of dollars that Johnson got from calculating it, but can this be said?
However, Wu Jianye's ambiguous answer made Jiang Ze not think much about it, after all, they didn't dare to imagine Wu Jianye's commotion.
"Director Wu, how did you come up with the idea of releasing it in North America, and there were not many people who could have this way in China at that time!" Jiang Ze also had his own questions he wanted to ask.
Wu Jianye said: "It's also a coincidence, Linda, the general manager of Phantom Media, actually came to our Yanjing tour at that time, and by chance, we met, and later when I was filming "Under the Bridge" in Shanghai, when I went to submit the book "Alive", I happened to see Linda again at the publishing house, and then she knew that I also wrote a science fiction, that is, "Jurassic Park", and proposed to see it, and after she finished reading it, she thought "Jurassic Park" This is a great book to launch in North America, and then there's the next thing to do!"
Jiang Ze thought he understood everything, and said with a smile: "No wonder the relationship between Director Wu and the Phantom has always been so good!"
Wu Jianye smiled and didn't answer, everything about Phantom Media, in Wu Jianye's opinion, this kind of thing can't be hidden in China for long, four or five years have passed, since this matter will break out in the future, Wu Jianye has no need to lie about the money on the TV camera anymore.
Not answering is the best attitude!
Tangting culture and Wu Jianye are almost tied together, so when Jiang Ze asked about the development history of Tangting culture, he actually asked about Wu Jianye's history in China.
When agreeing to be interviewed by CCTV, Wu Jianye had already thought of such a problem, but for the development of Tang Court culture, Wu Jianye was still able to perfectly avoid his other industries.
For example, the funds needed for the development of Tang Ting culture over the years have basically been offset by Wu Jianye's use of "The Last Emperor", "Jurassic Park", "Harry Potter" and the album "Born Out of the Sky", as well as the income from the two movies "Ghost Love" and "Jurassic Park" filmed by Hollywood directors!
Moreover, over the years, Tangting Culture itself has also been the most profitable film and television culture company in China, so it is easy to cope with it in this regard.
"Director Wu's experience, I think it can be perfectly described as knowledge changes fate!" Jiang Ze concluded.
In fact, he didn't expect that two books, one album, and two movies would be able to bring Wu Jianye hundreds of millions of dollars in income!
This is almost unimaginable in the country!
A writer in China writes a best-selling book, at most tens of thousands of yuan in income, but when he heard that Wu Jianye's three books had brought Wu Jianye more than 100 million yuan in income, he couldn't help but envy in his heart.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I believe that in the future, more and more people in China will use knowledge to change their fate!"
Jiang Ze smiled and asked: "Director Wu, why don't we talk about the Lakers, now it is rumored that you are the boss of the Los Angeles Lakers, and you have taken a fancy to our country's basketball player Wang Zhizhi, is this matter true?"
Although the outside world has been rumoring about this matter, Wu Jianye has never answered it positively, so this time Jiang Ze also came with a mission, in order to confirm this matter.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "There is nothing to hide, it is indeed true, in fact, don't think that the NBA team has always been expensive, when I bought the Lakers, it only cost tens of millions of dollars!"
Jiang Ze smiled bitterly: "Director Wu, tens of millions of dollars is already a lot, and now there are not many Chinese people who can use 'just' to describe this amount!"
Then Jiang Ze continued to ask: "Then Director Wu, can you talk to all of us, why did you buy the Lakers in the first place?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Of course, it's actually because I was filming in Hollywood and went to watch a few Lakers games, and I personally like to play basketball very much, so I patted my head at that time and bought it!"
"I didn't expect Director Wu to like to play basketball!" Jiang Ze said with a smile.
"Yes, when I was in film school, I was still on the school basketball team, and at that time, we still had Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Huijun, Chen Kaige and others in our team. ”
Jiang Ze: "The basketball team of the film academy is really full of talents!"
Wu Jianye smiled.
"What about inviting our national basketball player Wang Zhizhi? Is it true, just in the past two days, some people have seen Wang Zhizhi take a professional team to negotiate with the Bayi team!"
"This is true, this year I went to Sweden to watch this year's youth championship, and I like Dazhi's performance very much, so I found the Lakers' trial team, after their trial, I think Dazhi is fully capable of joining the NBA, in this case, I naturally hope that Dazhi can join the Lakers, and fortunately, about Dazhi to join the Lakers, has been allowed!"
Jiang Ze was stunned for a moment, but then he was a little excited in his heart, now this matter is the hottest news in China, but the results have not been made public, I didn't expect Wu Jianye to announce it here, I believe that when this interview appears on TV, it will definitely cause a huge sensation!
"So, Wang Zhizhi is now a member of the Lakers?"
Wu Jianye said: "Actually, there is no problem with saying this, but at the legal level, it will be said at the legal level after Dazhi arrives in Los Angeles and officially signs a contract with the Lakers!"
"Haha, your boss has said so, obviously there is no problem!" Jiang Ze said with a smile.
Wu Jianye smiled: "You can also say that!"
In fact, it is precisely because of Wang Zhizhi's joining the NBA that CCTV and David Stern saw the possibility of the NBA being broadcast live in China at the same time.
So after Wang Zhizhi signed a player contract with the Lakers, David Stern flew to Yanjing again and met the person in charge of CCTV, and after a long negotiation between the two sides, CCTV Sports Channel will officially broadcast the NBA league live next year!
CCTV's sports channel was also established this year, and will be officially broadcast to the whole country in November this year!
The broadcast of sports channels also means that the country's attention to sports has risen!
"Then does Director Wu have any expectations for Wang Zhizhi's future?"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Of course I hope Dazhi can become an all-star level player!"
Jiang Ze actually doesn't know much about the NBA, but after receiving the task of interviewing Wu Jianye and clarifying the route of the interview, he found some information and knew what kind of level the All-Star in Wu Jianye's mouth was.
Hearing Wu Jianye praise a domestic basketball player like this, he was naturally very proud in his heart!
"I'm really looking forward to seeing such a day!" Jiang Ze said.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I will definitely see it!"
Let's not talk about what kind of height Wang Zhizhi will reach at the technical level in this time and space, Wu Jianye can be sure in this life that Wang Zhizhi, who joined the Lakers at the age of 18, will definitely develop better than another time and space, and wait until the arrival of the Internet era and the arrival of the era of all-stars in online voting.
With a huge crowd of fans in China, Wang Zhizhi has no problem participating in one or two All-Stars!
Of course, Wu Jianye hopes that in the future, Wang Zhizhi can exchange his ability for participating in the All-Star!
"Director Wu, our domestic athletes, apart from Wang Zhizhi, do you know any other athletes?" Jiang Ze asked.
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Of course, I still often watch domestic games, such as Liu Yudong of the Bayi team, who is also an athlete I like very much, but unfortunately he is a little old, otherwise he would have the strength to enter the NBA!"
Jiang Ze continued to ask: "What about the young players, who are you more optimistic about to join the NBA in the future?"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I heard from a friend that there is a big shark team in Shanghai called Chairman Yao, who is just fifteen this year and is already more than two meters tall, if he can polish his skills well, he is also very promising to join the NBA in the future!"
Jiang Ze said with a smile: "It seems that Director Wu is really concerned about our domestic basketball career, and even a 15-year-old boy knows it!"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "If I like to pay attention to nature, just like I like movies, I will naturally pay attention to outstanding domestic filmmakers!"
Jiang Ze heard Wu Jianye talk about the topic back to the movie again, and he continued to ask, Wu Jianye had some questions about the movie!
The whole interview process can be said to be very pleasant, and as for the problems between court culture and CCTV, they have also disappeared with this interview!
