Chapter 449: The Dilemma of the Three Directors (4100+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)

After Wu Jianye returned to Yanjing, he saw Chen Kaige who returned disappointed at the Cannes Film Festival.

At the Cannes Film Festival, Chen Kaige was full of confidence and thought that he would continue to climb the peak of his life, catch up with Zhang Yimou, and stand side by side with Wu Jianye.

As a result, the Palme d'Or didn't see it but won a Golden Alarm Clock Award, which made Chen Kaige, who has always been arrogant, a little unacceptable.

"I'm going to study in the United States in the next two days!" At this time, Chen Kaige was less high-spirited than before, and a little more gloomy, saying that Chen Kaige still attaches great importance to honor, otherwise he would not have taken Hu Ge to court because of a "Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" in the future.

"If you want to go, you can go. Wu Jianye has nothing to suggest about this, this is Chen Kaige's life path, and Wu Jianye has nothing to give advice.

Chen Kaige nodded and emphasized: "This time I'm not running away, but I want to see how North America is made." ”

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I naturally know this, so let's do it, I have a good relationship with Hollywood's Phantom Entertainment, if you can't find a way in Los Angeles, you can contact Phantom Entertainment." ”

Historically, after Chen Kaige went to North America this year, although he was also trying to understand Hollywood's production methods, but don't look at the fact that he won an international award for "Yellow Earth" before, in fact, he is a little transparent on the Hollywood side, and no one takes him seriously at all.

So in the past two years in Los Angeles, Chen Kaige has always been just a marginal figure, and he can't integrate into the mainstream of Hollywood at all, in fact, he is more in the circle of Chinese people who went to North America earlier than him.

No matter what, Chen Kaige is his classmate, Wu Jianye thinks that he can help or help, and it would be good if Chen Kaige could learn more things in Phantom Entertainment.

When Chen Kaige heard this, he showed a smile: "Old Wu, thank you and other kind words, I won't tell you, I'll wait for me to come back!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Okay!"

Subsequently, Chen Kaige and Hong Huang got on a plane to North America, and this time Chen Kaige was able to go to North America through an invitation called the Asia Foundation and New York University.

As for the rumors on the Internet in later generations that he went to North America because of Hong Huang's relationship, it was actually wrong, but later Chen Kaige's visa expired, and he was able to continue to stay in North America, which had something to do with Hong Huang, and the two got married

Chen Kaige is gone, and Zhang Yimou is here.

"Look what kind of thing you are shooting!" Wu Jianye also looked helpless after seeing Zhang Yimou.

Wu Jianye is talking about Zhang Yimou's "Code Name Jaguar", this movie Zhang Yimou only took more than 20 days to shoot, and the speed is comparable to Wang Jing.

Zhang Yimou is also a helpless watch.

"When I was halfway through the preparation of this movie, I had no direction, but I had already spent 90,000 yuan in investment, and I always felt sorry for other people's investment if I didn't shoot it?"

The movie "Codename Jaguar" was also filmed by a cultural company, but it used the factory logo of Western Film Studio, and after the other party saw Zhang Yimou winning the Golden Bear Award, he immediately wanted to use Zhang Yimou's fame to shoot a movie.

Then at this time, Zhang Yimou just wanted to make an urban-themed movie, and then he made up a "Code Name Jaguar".

brought his confidante Gong Li, and also borrowed Ge You, and the same movie starring Wang Xueqi, Yu Luguang, etc.

Wu Jianye said in a deep voice: "You are ruining your reputation, where will any investor dare to invest money in you to make a movie in the future!"

Zhang Yimou showed a little embarrassment and said, "This matter is my fault, and it won't be in the future!"

Then he said with some embarrassment: "I want to go out and hide!"

Wu Jianye knew what Zhang Yimou meant, and as his relationship with Gong Li was exposed, at this time, the domestic criticism of his relationship with Gong Li was very strong, and Zhang Yimou also wanted to go out to avoid the turmoil.

Wu Jianye glanced at Zhang Yimou, "You, let's do it, Cheng Xiaodong of Xiangjiang is the action director of my movie, and I am preparing to make a new movie, you and Gong Li will be the starring actors!"

The movie Wu Jianye said is actually "Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors", even if there is no proposal from Wu Jianye, Cheng Xiaodong will cooperate with Zhang Yimou, now it is better to say it in advance and let the two go to Xiangjiang to avoid the limelight.

Zhang Yimou smiled when he heard this: "Old Wu, I really thank you this time!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Zhang Yimou: "Come less." ”

This time "New Dragon Gate Inn" was released, Wu Jianye originally planned to have a premiere in China, in fact, it is not uncommon to have a premiere in China at this time, before Xie Jin's "Furong Town" did its premiere in Shanghai, but at that time, the premiere was not so on the right track, so it was not a big sensation.

For the premiere this time, Wu Jianye originally wanted Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou to come to help, but now Chen Kaige was directly hit by the failure to go to North America because of the failure of "The Child King", as for Zhang Yimou's current reputation, forget it, he is really worried that someone will throw tomatoes at Zhang Yimou at the premiere.

Sometimes, things are so coincidental that Zhang Yimou made a fuss because of the scandal with Gong Li, and Chen Kaige crashed the Cannes Film Festival.

And Tian Zhuangzhuang, a representative of the fifth generation of directors, also had problems.

""The Special Operating Room" has not been reviewed!" "Tian Zhuangzhuang sat in Wu Jianye's office, looking very decadent.

Wu Jianye looked at the appearance of the grange and said with a wry smile: "Let Chen Kaige and Lao Mouzi go early, you should let the three of you sit together." ”

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Wu Jianye suspiciously, Tian Zhuangzhuang has been busy with the matter of "Special Operating Room" recently, and has no contact with the outside world at all, so he doesn't know about Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou.

Wu Jianye told Tian Zhuangzhuang about the situation of the two, and Tian Zhuang laughed self-deprecatingly: "You should indeed sit together"

"I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for this movie to pass the review, you still don't believe it, now believe it!" Wu Jianye said.

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't politely ask directly: "Is there any way?" I know you have a good relationship with the radio and television side."

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It's useless, don't even think about that movie, it's impossible to pass the trial for you!"

If it was last year, Wu Jianye would be confident that he could release this movie in Grangezhuang, but this year, the situation in China is becoming more and more complicated, and Grange Zhuang is a model of hitting the muzzle.

Unless it takes a lot of effort, it is possible to let this movie pass the review, but it will not help at all, if Grange Zhuang can't recognize his own problem, even if it is reviewed this time, it is just laying mines for the future.

"It's too difficult to shoot some movies with ideas in China!" said Tian Zhuangzhuang helplessly.

Wu Jianye said speechlessly: "Now the domestic film market can be said to be cautiously looking for its own direction, you haven't even cultivated the basic market soil, just want to plant cherished exotic flowers and plants, isn't that a fool's dream?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said with some disagreement: "You can't say that, if it's just those movies on the market today, are you sure that in a few years, the soil of the domestic film market will be healthy?"

Naturally, he was talking about the shoddy, violent movies that have begun to emerge now.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "I admit that what you said is also reasonable, the current domestic film market is indeed unhealthy, but the subject matter of your movie is fundamentally contrary to the general situation of domestic development, I admit that there is such a phenomenon, but the country also wants to save face, now that the domestic reform and opening up, what needs to be released is the truth, goodness and beauty, you just choose to expose those dark sides, this form of head iron, can make you pass it!"

In fact, this still involves a general trend of domestic control over films!

Not only are the current film practitioners facing such a problem, but in fact, in the following decades, the domestic film industry has not been able to get rid of this dilemma.

At the time of Oh's rebirth, Goryeo's film career began to emerge, and many people said that Goryeo films were known for their boldness, and they were often based on the revelations of high-level events in the country.

But what people in the country can't see is the chaotic political situation in Goryeo, and they can make movies about those themes because of their political reasons, not to mention even if they make such a movie, what about it?

Compared with the entertainment industry in Goryeo, the domestic entertainment industry is simply pure like a lamb all the time.

grabbing these things that are not allowed to be filmed every day, saying that domestic movies have been restricted by various restrictions, and if they can't make good movies, it's just that they are just finding reasons for themselves that they can't.

This is not the only subject matter in the movie

In fact, Grange Zhuang also fell into a similar circle at this time, always feeling that he was carrying a certain sense of mission, thinking that he could expose or criticize certain things through movies, but he didn't want to think about what kind of impact the things he exposed and criticized would have on the country.

Self-esteem is the most important thing

To put it bluntly, talented people like Grange Zhuang think like this.

Grange Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Forget it, if it can't be released, it can't be released, by the way, lend me some money!"

When it comes to borrowing money, Grange Zhuang is not the slightest embarrassed.

Wu Jianye didn't ask him the reason, and asked directly, "How much to borrow?"

Grange Zhuang: "500,000!"

Wu Jianye nodded: "Okay, I'll let Xia Xiaohong bring it to you later!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang glanced at Wu Jianye: "Don't you ask me what I am doing with the money?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "What else can you do, it must be sent to your investor!"

According to Grange Zhuang's grid, this movie can't be released, and he doesn't want his investors to lose too much, and he will definitely have to pay back some of the money invested in this movie.

Sure enough, Grange Zhuang smiled: "I don't know when I will be able to pay you back this money!"

Wu Jianye: "De!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and said: "I have a book in my hand, which is about rock singers, and I was originally going to cooperate with the youth factory, are you interested in casting points." ”

The Youth Factory is naturally the Youth Film Studio under the name of Yenching Film Academy, and the Youth Film Studio is actually the earliest experimental studio, but it has now been renamed.

Wu Jianye asked, "What does the youth factory say?"

Tian Zhuang Zhuang said with a smile: "The youth factory naturally hopes that you can invest, and in the past few years, the college has come out with such a big amount of money from you, if you can invest in them, you will be happy!"

Wu Jianye showed a wry smile: "Have you thought about it a long time ago?" ”

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded, "Yes, borrow money first, and then let you invest in movies, two steps, one time." ”

Seeing that Tianzhuang Zhuang was not embarrassed, Wu Jianye said helplessly: "Okay, let the youth factory come up with a budget, there is no problem on my side!"

In fact, even if there is no Grange, if the Youth Factory finds Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye will definitely agree without hesitation.

It can be said that his success started from the Youth Factory, and now the Youth Factory wants to shoot his own movie, and Wu Jianye naturally has to support it.

"By the way, come with me to Huhai in a few days!" Wu Jianye said.

Let Tianzhuang go to Huhai naturally because of the premiere of "New Dragon Gate Inn".

Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou can't go, and Grange Zhuang definitely can't let it go anymore.

Grange Zhuang didn't ask why, "Cheng, you can notify me when the time comes!"

The two chatted for a while before Grange Zhuang left the court culture.

Zhao Jiaqing, the manager of Yanjing TV and Dachao Culture, looked at the person in charge of Yanjing TV with a look of disbelief at this time.

"Director Wang, didn't we say it before, as long as our TV series is filmed, there will be no problem on your side?"

Zhao Jiaqing is a native of Yanjing and has worked in the art troupe for a period of time, which is why Zhao Guofu asked him to be the cultural manager of the dynasty, because of his connections in Yanjing.

And the matter of contacting Yanjing TV has always been in charge of Zhao Jiaqing, and now Wang Xu, the director of Yanjing TV, suddenly said that he didn't want this TV series of Dachao Culture, how could this not make Zhao Jiaqing anxious.

It's all been said before.

Wang Xu sat there and said lightly: "Mr. Zhao, what we said before is that if your company's TV series is qualified, our TV station will buy it, but now that it is not qualified, we naturally can't buy it." ”

Zhao Jiaqing hurriedly said: "Director Wang, you don't think it's suitable there, let's improve it, this is our company's first TV series, please help!"

Wang Xu smiled: "Manager Zhao, I advise you not to bother with this effort!"

Zhao Jiaqing heard other meanings in it: "Director Wang, is there something that our dynasty culture is doing wrong?"

Wang Xu shook his head and said, "No, how could Manager Zhao think so." ”

Zhao Jiaqing: "Director Wang, we have been friends for many years, and I also ask Director Wang to help us with the Dynasty Culture, and when the time comes, our Dynasty Culture will not forget Director Wang's kindness." ”

Wang Xu sighed: "Manager Zhao, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you offended people who shouldn't be offended, I really can't help with this favor!"
