Director Sung Yin has passed away!

Standing in the mourning hall of Babao Mountain, Wu Jianye was dressed in black, and he still couldn't help but feel a burst of pathos in his heart, after all, he did not survive the inertia of history.

Standing here, Wu Jianye couldn't help but blame himself a little in his heart, he could have cared more about some old deans, but history didn't give him this opportunity after all.......

Thinking of the care of these old deans for him, the sadness in his heart is overflowing.

"Master, the festival mourns and changes!"

Shen Arsenic nodded sadly.

After walking out of the mourning hall, Zhu Xuan stood in front of Wu Jianye and comforted: "Don't be too sad, I believe that the dean definitely doesn't want to see his most proud disciple like this!"

Wu Jianye nodded heavily, "I know, but I just sigh a little that the world is impermanent!"

Cheng Yin's sudden death shrouded the sky over the Yenching Film Academy with a sad atmosphere.

But history is like this, it will not stop his rotation because of the death of anyone, and Shen Chongsheng, who took over as director Cheng Yin and became the director of Yenching Film Academy, announced one thing.

Yenching Film Academy was officially absorbed as a member school of CILECT.

Founded in Cannes in 1955 to promote dialogue between film schools in the two worlds during the Cold War, CILECT was founded with members of eight countries: the United Kingdom, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Soviet Union and the United States.

CILECT was created to provide a channel for member schools to exchange ideas, to help them better understand the future of education for creative workers in film, television and related media, and to make every effort to maintain and improve the education and learning standards of its member schools, and to tap their potential in the use of new technologies in education, information and entertainment.

It provides conditions for regional or international cooperation in creation and development among its member schools, and plays a positive role in promoting the dissemination of audiovisual knowledge and promoting the development of culture and media.

Since then, as film and television have continued to change with the changes in the artistic, economic, social and technological environment, CILECT has been rethinking and adapting its projects to the needs of the times. With the increasingly blurring of national boundaries and the emergence of new technologies, it has moved to a new level of international cooperation.

Now that Yenching Film Academy has joined CILECT, it also means that the domestic film industry continues to move forward and connect with the world.

Wu Jianye's courtyard once again ushered in Bertolucci and others.

is still for the sake of "The Last Emperor", through dialogue with domestic high-level officials, Bertolucci finally decided to shoot Wu Jianye's "The Last Emperor", but there is a premise, he has to get the adaptation rights.

Even if Wu Jianye had already refused twice, Bertolucci was still not ready to give up, and he couldn't help but say that this was a stubborn old man.

It's a pity that when he came to Wu Jianye's courtyard, Wu Jianye was serving with good wine and food, but he just didn't let go, and he wouldn't sell the adaptation rights of "The Last Emperor".

In the end, the matter went to the top.

The high-level found Wu Jianye, hoping that Wu Jianye could sell the adaptation rights of "The Last Emperor" for the sake of the overall situation!

The adaptation rights of "The Last Emperor" are different from those of "Jurassic Park", and at this time, there was no concept of these so-called commercial films in China, and what they needed was films that increased Huaxia's international influence.

Coupled with Bertolucci's current influence in the international film industry, they will spare no effort to promote the success of this matter.

Wu Jianye faced the high-level level, and naturally it was impossible to refuse directly like Bertolucci.

Of course, it is impossible for Wu Jianye to fool the top with a so-called high price, which is not a wise choice, but a slap in the face of the leader.

"Leader, to be honest, the reason why I don't want to sell the adaptation rights of this film is because I am also very interested in this history, and I want to shoot this movie myself!"

Wu Jianye finally said his plan!

"Do you want to shoot it yourself?" The leader first looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, and then showed a trace of dissatisfaction: "Xiao Wu, this kind of thing is not a joke, do you know how much the investment in this film is proposed by director Bertolucci? At least 25 million US dollars, do you think that China may come up with this money to shoot this movie for you now?"

Xiao Wu, I know that you are a director with aspirations, but making movies is not something you can make when you say you want to make it, such a large investment will be spent in our country, do you know how many jobs it will bring to our country?

And director Bertolucci has already said that this film will be released in Europe and the United States, which is a good opportunity to show the world our China, I hope you can think about it clearly. ”

This is also the reason why Wu Jianye won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, without the blessing of the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, it would be impossible for the leader to analyze the pros and cons of things with Wu Jianye so calmly.

Of course, as a leader, it is impossible to forcibly order Wu Jianye to sell his copyright, but if Wu Jianye wants to make a movie in China in the future, it is almost impossible!

Wu Jianye naturally understood the leader's intentions, so he explained: "Leader, if you don't consider Bertolucci's international influence, film investment and release in Europe and the United States, I can find a way to solve it!"

The leader showed a surprised expression: "This is a $25 million investment, how do you solve it?"

The real problem in front of the leader and Wu Jianye is actually the investment in this film, when the investment in domestic films does not exceed 1 million yuan, how can a film with an investment of 25 million US dollars appear in China!

"Actually, when I was attending the Venice Film Festival last year, I met a few American studios, and they liked the movie "Hang the Red Lantern High" very much, and I had already negotiated with them to sell them the overseas rights for $300,000, but it turned out to be ......," Wu Jianye continued, glancing at the leader sitting in front of him.

"I didn't work out with them, but I talked to them afterwards and they liked my directing style very much and said they could invest if I wanted to make a film!"

"What? You said that the overseas rights to the movie "Hang the Red Lantern High" can be sold for $300,000!"

The leader was also shocked, he really didn't know about it.

"Yes, at that time, I had similar estimates of the overseas box office of the movie "Hang the Red Lantern" with them, which was about $3 million to $5 million, so the overseas copyright of $300,000 was already enough! Now the film has been painted underground in Europe and the United States, and the box office of the entire European and American markets has reached $5.27 million!"

"Sun Jiarui!"

At this time, the leader couldn't wait to tear Sun Jiarui and package a $300,000 copyright movie for $15,000, if he wasn't angry, it was impossible!

And why did Wu Jianye say this, naturally because of this reason.

Originally, Sun Jiarui had been demoted to an idle position, and Wu Jianye didn't want to deal with him anymore, after all, in that case, it would inevitably leave some tricks for the people behind him, but now he dared to appear in front of him without dispersing, so don't blame Wu Jianye for not giving him face.

After poking this matter out, Sun Jiarui didn't think that it was possible to turn over!

As for the so-called American film companies, it's easier, Phantom Entertainment is a good shield!

The leader also recovered his mood at this time, and asked with some curiosity: "Can you really find an investor?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "It shouldn't be a problem, in fact, before this, they told me about the adaptation of "The Last Emperor", and you also know that foreigners are actually very interested in our Chinese history!"

The leader thought for a while and said: "If you can really find an investor, that's also good, after all, this is the history of our Huaxia, and I myself hope that it can be filmed by our own director of Huaxia." ”

Wu Jianye immediately answered: "Yes, the leader's words inspired me very much, in fact, I also talked about this topic with those foreign directors in Venice, but in the process of chatting with them, I found a problem!"

The leader smiled and asked, "What's the problem?"

"Let's talk about Pu Yi, when I chatted with them, they had a strong sympathy for the character of Pu Yi, and even thought that he was a tragic figure worthy of sympathy, and Johnston, they thought that it should be a representative of Westerners, overlooking the historical changes in China!

I must admit that Bertolucci is a very good director, but before that identity, he was more of a Westerner!

Plus his money comes from the West......."

Speaking of this, Wu Jianye's voice paused a little, glanced at the leader, and asked cautiously: "The leader has something to say, I don't know if to say it or not?"

The leader smiled incomprehensibly: "There are just you and me in the office, there is nothing that can't be said!"

Wu Jianye smiled, since he said it, there are not many opportunities to face the big leader of culture like this.

"If this film is handed over to director Bertolucci, his funds come from the West, and in addition to the imperfection of our domestic box office system, this film will hardly bring any income to those investors in China, that is to say, the market they are facing is actually an overseas market, if this is the case, the film he makes will be more aimed at overseas audiences, so if director Bertolucci shoots this film, I am afraid that what he makes will not be the real situation of our country! It's what Westerners want to see!"

This is also the reason why Wu Jianye has always disagreed with the sale of the adaptation rights of the film to Bertolucci.

Although countless people in later generations have said that Bertolucci is the foreign director who knows China the most and has filmed the real history of China.

But is that really the case?

Don't say much else, let's just talk about the picture at the beginning, Cixi appears like a zombie, isn't this the Western understanding of Huaxia?

Even after decades, this kind of thing has not changed when it comes to Wu Jianye's rebirth.

At that time, Wu Jianye saw the trailer of Disney's remake of "Mulan", in which Mulan's face was covered with a thick layer of foundation, just like a vampire, this is the United States' understanding of Huaxia!

As for the film that was touted by the world, it won nine Academy Awards.

Let's take a look at what awards this film has won, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Sound, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score.

The nine awards are lined up, which seems to be very powerful, but please take a closer look.

Except for Su Cong, who contributed one of the eighteen soundtracks, he was selected, and all the other awards were not won by the Chinese, and there was no nomination for the best actor and heroine, the best actor and actress. Doesn't that tell the story? The film is simply set against the backdrop of Chinese history and Chinese actors, and the film serves the West from beginning to end. It is not difficult to explain why Bellutocchi is so playfully revising the real history to make a film that he thinks in his heart, in the heart of the Westerner.

As for the praise of the Chinese people, Wu Jianye thought of a joke at that time.

Three young people went to the Louvre to shoot "Mona Lisa" and posted it on Moments, and the ordinary young people wrote that "there are too many people to squeeze in." ”

The literary youth found a close-up shot taken by someone else and sent out, "Leonardo da Vinci is too great!".

Another young man sent out a long-range picture of himself that he couldn't see clearly: "Beethoven is great!"

If it is just in terms of pure film art, Wu Jianye does not deny the success of this movie, but if it is put on the identity of a Chinese, Wu Jianye does not like to see such a movie appear!

If the story of Bertolucci's version of "The Last Emperor" is set up on a certain last crown prince of the Habsburg family in Europe, or simply on the stick prince Li Yin, then the film is really a good film from the perspective of human nature, but unfortunately, it is in the wrong place.

The leader's face showed a hint of appreciation, and said: "You also said that director Bertolucci's funds come from the West, and he wants to consider Western investors and audiences, so what about you, you also need to bring in American investment, don't you need to take into account their ideas?"

The corners of Wu Jianye's mouth were slightly hooked, he knew that as long as the leader asked like this, this matter would basically become: "The leader said something unpleasant, although they were the ones who invested the money, but it was me who filmed, although I am also a director, but my first identity is a Chinese, anyway, my movie is finished, can they still shoot it again!"

What kind of person is the most ruthless!

Wu Jianye is the most ruthless person, because he is so ruthless that he even cheats his own money!

Just ask if you're afraid!

In fact, in Wu Jianye's view, this movie will not necessarily lose money, Bertolucci's $26 million investment, of which a large part will be used to pay for the entire overseas film crew, if this film is directed by Wu Jianye, a large part of this part can be saved.

As for the so-called overseas box office, Wu Jianye is actually not too worried, this movie may not reach as much box office as in later generations, but it is unlikely to say that it is losing money, at most it is just to let Wu Jianye earn less.
