End of February 2010!

Qiong Island, Sanya, Dynasty Hotel!

Wu Jianye, who is in his early fifties, looks only in his forties at this time due to perennial exercise and proper maintenance.

With short hair close to the scalp, wearing an open light-colored plaid shirt with a T-shirt and a pair of wide pants, he stepped on flip-flops and returned to the hotel.

Next to her was a girl in a bohemian dress, less than thirty years old, with a wide hat and a pair of sunglasses that could cover half of her face, looking a little mysterious.

"Big brother, Chenchen will graduate this year, right?" the girl asked.

"Well, I will graduate in a few months!" Wu Jianye nodded, and then smiled: "I watched your movie recently, and it was a good shot!"

The girl said proudly: "Of course, don't look at whose apprentice I am!"

Wu Jianye said helplessly: "I know that I am an apprentice, and I keep calling my eldest brother." ”

"Are people used to it?" said the girl coquettishly.

"By the way, will there be an orphanage this year?" Wu Jianye suddenly asked.

The girl nodded and said, "Go back, the old dean's health is not very good, I asked him to go abroad for a check-up, and I won't say anything!"

The girl is none other than Xiaoqing in the orphanage, after finishing junior high school in the orphanage, after high school, Xiaoqing applied for the film academy, during the film academy, he first took over the film of the famous domestic director Wang Xiaoshuai, and became the goddess of domestic literary films, and later relied on the role of the dumb girl in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu", which became popular throughout Southeast Asia!

After graduating from university, she won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress and the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival with the movie "Dream".

became the leading goddess of literary films in China, and then began to transform, shooting commercial films, first participated in Hollywood's A-level production "National Treasure", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" became a global box office actress, and then returned to China and took over the film "Nuwa" produced by Guan Xuan, which was released in the summer last year, and immediately dominated the entire summer file!

is now judged by the media, the most successful female movie star in the first decade of the 21st century in China!

Wu Jianye heard that the old dean's health was not very good, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it serious?"

Xiaoqing explained: "There is nothing wrong with it, it is the root of the disease that fell before, and now that I am older, all kinds of problems have come out!"

Wu Jianye was relieved and said, "When the conference is over, I'll go over with you to have a look!"

Xiao Qing smiled and nodded.

The two came to the lobby of the hotel, Wu Jianye received a call from Feng Pants, so he separated from Xiaoqing and went to the hotel café, where Wu Jianye saw Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Pants, Guan Yu, Wang Xiaoshuai, Ding Sheng and other top domestic directors chatting together!

After everyone saw Wu Jianye, they also smiled.

"I just talked about you!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "What are you talking about me?"

Feng Pants said with a smile: "What can you say, when you said to rest, everyone thought that you were just taking a break for a year or two, but I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and you still haven't come back!"

Chen Kaige said: "That's it, look at the current domestic discussion of directors, who still mentions you!"

There are talents in the country, not to mention the entertainment industry, which is a very fast circle.

Even if Wu Jianye achieved such a high level of achievement in the eighties and nineties, but now when someone discusses domestic directors on the Internet, few people mention Wu Jianye.

At this time, Wu Jianye has actually become a memory for some people, but that's it!

Some time ago, an event was launched on the Internet, asking everyone if they knew which Wu Jianye was.

Many people choose not to know.......

Wu Jianye laughed, and said nonchalantly: "If you don't mention it, don't mention it, do I care about this?"

Everyone was helpless, just as Wu Jianye said, they knew that Wu Jianye really didn't care about this.

Wu Jianye looked at them and smiled: "Don't talk about me, it's a few of you, it doesn't seem to be very good in the past few years!"

Wu Jianye's words can be regarded as poking the hearts of these people, and they instantly became embarrassed, especially Zhang Yimou.

When old friends meet, they naturally squeeze each other, and they are ruthless, Wu Jianye said to Zhang Yimou: "Lao Mouzi, I have to say, you are really good, I watched this year's movie "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", I have to let me give you a thumbs up!"

The appearance of Wu Jianye made everything different, and "Three Guns" also came out in advance!

Zhang Yimou's face was already black, but now when Wu Jianye said this, it was black and red, if someone else said so, Zhang Yimou would definitely not take it seriously, but now that he is complained by his old friend, his heart is naturally different!

"Lao Mouzi, I have to say that "Three Guns" is good!" Chen Kaige also said in a down-to-earth manner.

Wu Jianye glanced at Chen Kaige and said with a smile: "Are you embarrassed to talk about others?"

"It's a good thing that Lao Mouzi also directed the Yanjing Olympics last year, what about you, what have you been filming in the past few years? Except for the movie "Mei Xfang", which is a bit of the shadow of "Farewell My Concubine", what about the rest, two years ago, I went to court with others because of a short video......

Chen Kaige's face is not good-looking!

"Then can you blame me, the movie "Wuji", even if you ask me now, I think that movie is made well, but everyone doesn't know how to appreciate it!" Chen Kaige said stiffly.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "That movie is honest, I also think it's good, it's a pity, you are too eager for quick success, it's a good story, let you make a bloody case caused by steamed buns!"

Chen Kaige accompanied Zhang Yimou and looked at Wu Jianye with resentment.

Seeing Wu Jianye looking at him, Feng Pants hurriedly self-examined: "Yes, I also have a problem!"

Wu Jianye: "......"

In the end, Wu Jianye patted Feng's pants on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I really didn't think of how to say anything about you!"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

After laughing, Feng Pants looked indignant again.

"Now these new generation actors are really getting more and more disagreeable, and at the film director seminar jointly sponsored by our directors, no one came over, saying that they had something to do, and they didn't know what they were busy with!"

Such a seminar has actually been held for nine years, and this year is the tenth year, and the directors hope that practitioners in the circle will be able to participate, and by the way, discuss the future development of the domestic film industry.

Wu Jianye didn't want to participate, but he couldn't stand a few people calling him in turn, so he finally came to Qiongdao.

At this time, Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago, but you don't listen!"

When Feng Pants told him about it, Wu Jianye told them that even if they invited those actors, there would not be too many people coming.

It's just that they think that as the top directors in China today, they can't do it, and the result is to make Wu Jianye say it!

There really isn't anyone coming, what the current actors value is not the director, but the capital, as long as the capital supports themselves, even if the director is unwilling, he has to pinch his nose and use himself, so naturally they find reasons to refuse.

Chen Kaige said: "Old Wu, aren't you angry at all?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "What do I have to be angry about, it's not an invitation from me, people don't come, and they don't give face to you people, and it's not me!"

Guan Yu complained on the side: "Director Wu, your words are a bit heart-wrenching!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Guan Guan and said, "You can also suffer it!"

Guan Yu said helplessly: "Understood!"

Feng Pants said: "The situation in the circle now is indeed different from before, in the past, we used to choose the actors ourselves, but now it's okay, the film company directly gives the project, and it doesn't matter if the actor is suitable or not, anyway, as long as it can bring investment, it will be stuffed into the crew, and you can't use it." ”

Wang Tao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "The key is that this group of people is here, and they don't play it for you well, and some people don't even know what they want to play before filming starts!"

Ding Shengle said: "I thought I had encountered such a situation, but it turned out that you had all encountered it." ”

Wu Jianye glanced at them and said with a smile: "How do I feel that you will hold a spit conference again!"

Feng Pants said: "Mr. Wu, you haven't come out all these years, I don't know the current situation, the current actors, it's really hard to say, and the high salary is scary, but the acting skills are really touching!"

Wu Jianye said: "You don't need them, and no one is forcing you to use them with a knife!"

"You think we're all the same as you, we seem to be the best directors in China, but in fact, we have a lot of helplessness about our own movies. Zhang Yimou said with deep feelings.

"Take the "Three Guns" you said earlier, in fact, this movie is not what I want to make at all, and the actors are not what I want to use, but what can I do. ”

"Weiping, saying that the company is in difficulty, Xiao Fengtian is famous, they can drive the box office, and the investment is still small, so I will pay him back!"

The situation of other people is actually similar, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I understand, then you can do it, the money is earned, I told you not to sell your shares at the beginning, you have to listen!"

At the beginning, Zhang Yimou listened to Wu Jianye's suggestion and occupied 10% of the shares in the new picture, but later Zhang Weiping said that the company had difficulties and needed to sell the shares, and Zhang Yimou generously sold his shares......

Making movies, Zhang Yimou is top-notch, do you do business......

It's not an exaggeration to give him a cool song......

Zhang Yimou sneered, but didn't say anything.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "I still say the same thing, if you are unhappy in your own company, you can still return to the court culture, the door of the court culture has always been open to you!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

At the beginning, they left the court culture to prove themselves, but after the baptism of the times, these people have long lost such thoughts!

On the contrary, they began to miss the time when they made movies in Tangting Culture, at that time they only needed to be responsible for their own films, and the others never let them worry about it!

Especially don't let yourself bend over for the sake of capital.

It's just that in recent years, the court culture side is more like an extension of the film school, often recruiting some new directors and actors, and after they have created some reputations, they will be generously released.

Now the evaluation of Tangting culture in the circle is the Whampoa Military Academy in the film and television industry!

"Old Wu, are you serious?" Zhang Yimou asked subconsciously, and then felt that this was a little too obvious, and he was a little embarrassed!

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Why am I lying to you about this, I remember that when I graduated, I told you that if you want to make a movie, you can find me at any time!"

Everyone nodded, and the court culture became their last safe haven!

When it was night, Zhang Yimou came to Wu Jianye's room.

"Lao Wu, I really want to leave the new picture, and now the cooperation with Weiping is getting more and more awkward!" Zhang Yimou sat on the sofa in the guest room and said straight to the point.

When he was in the café just now, Zhang Yimou was embarrassed to say that now there are only two people left, and Zhang Yimou has no taboos.

"Although I have also made some blockbuster movies in the past few years, it is more of a compromise, not only the previous "Three Guns", but also "The City is Full of Golden Armor", which are not actually what I want to make, but when Weiping wanted to make the company listed, I couldn't ....... it."

Wu Jianye gave himself a cup of tea and said: "If you don't want to stay, you don't have to stay, no matter what, you have proven yourself at the box office, in fact, in my opinion, you are more suitable for literary films, and commercial films can have those cutting-edge directors who understand the market and the audience better." ”

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I think so too, at my age, I actually don't want to pursue those false fame anymore, I just want to make some movies I like while I still have energy!"

Wu Jianye said: "Okay, it's still the same sentence, come back if you want to come back!"

Zhang Yimou said with a somewhat tangled expression: "It's just that the box office of literary films is ......."

There is naturally no way to compare literary films and commercial films in terms of box office revenue, Zhang Yimou has made enough money for the new picture, but now he wants to return to Tangting Culture to make literary films, and he is inevitably a little embarrassed.

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "You can rest assured about this, money, it has never been a matter on my side!"

Zhang Yimou nodded, and then said seriously: "Then I won't say anything, thank you for replacing wine with tea!"

Wu Jianye clinked glasses with him!

After the matter was discussed, Zhang Yimou's expression relaxed a lot, and then said: "There is one thing, you may not know yet, Wu Baige will also come over this time, and it is only after hearing the news that you are coming, you should know what it is for!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Of course I know, but even if he comes, he can't change anything!"
