Chapter 505: The more national it is, the more global it is

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

While drinking, Director Wu deceived Wu Tianming and Chen Kaige into cooperating with them.

Several people drank with red faces and thick necks.

may be really grateful to Wu Xiaozu, a few people touch the wine in their cups, and the thieves are real!

Wu Xiaozu drank a glass of wine and poured a circle of people.

During this period, he also specially asked Gao Lihong to send 10 bottles of Louis XIII.

Wu Tianming has a wide range of contacts.

What Wu Xiaozu didn't know was that at this time, the countdown had already entered before the other party took up the position of Western Film Studio.

At this time, the Western Film Studio was in chaos, and it was the most difficult time. But even in this case, he resolutely rejected the old director's shooting plan, gave the opportunity to young people such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Yijian, and even used tight funds to help Xiao Mouzi replant sorghum land in Gaomi...... Filming "Ninety-Nine Green Killing".

That is, "Red Sorghum"!

This time, Wu Xiaozu generously broke the siege, Wu Tianming had a good impression of him, and he saw the identity of Wu Xiaozu's Hong Kong businessman.

Someone is curious.

A large state-owned film studio, why can't you afford to live in a hotel?

It can only be said that the older generation of filmmakers are really selfless and dedicated. In addition, at this time, domestic 'foreign exchange' is too difficult to exchange!

"Azu, I'll put your co-production on the agenda when I go back. Wu Tianming blushed, took a cigarette, and asked tentatively, "How much money do you plan to invest in this movie?"

"More money?"

Wu Xiaozu poked the white flour bun with chopsticks to make the mustard more solid in the bun, and then he took a big bite and said vaguely, "I plan to invest tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the new play...... Oh, and that's a few million dollars. ”

"Gollum~" Xiao Gu took a sip of wine and flowed down his nose...... The whole person was stupefied. It's more frightening than being photographed in the car studying shock absorption.

"Cough~~coughcoughcough-"

Wu Tianming choked on a puff of dry smoke and came out of his nose, and his two eyes were like Jiao Sanye in the "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" he filmed later, staring at Wu Xiaozu, "Azu, don't worry! This drama must be fine." I'll sell this old face and help you make this teas!"

In his previous life, Wu Tianming was a simple and pure old man who loved movies.

His love has made the fifth generation of directors and Chinese films. Without Wu Tianming, there would be no fifth-generation director, he is the real "fifth-generation Bole", the godfather of film.

But the old man smiled and said: Bole is a fart? A good movie is the most important!

West Film Studio is a self-financing film studio, and Wu Xiaozu's tens of millions really stunned the old man.

Of course, the main reason is that Wu Xiaozu is good at forcing the grid, on the one hand, Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan endorse him, and on the other hand, the old man watches his movies like "The Birth of a Word" and "Suspect".

Otherwise, it may not be this attitude.

In his previous life, Xiao Mouzi once said that the "head" "can't look" the films he has made in the past 10 years because they are "too commercial".

'Tou'er' is the fifth generation's name for Wu Tianming, just like Zhang Baiju, Li Xiaohao, and Cai Shaojun call Wu Xiaozu 'Qi Ye', which is all respected from the heart.

There are indeed people who pursue their own artistic ideas and persevere.

For example, Wu Tianming.

Later, two years after his death, his "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" still entered the cinema - but he definitely couldn't imagine what kind of way the movie was arranged.

Back then, he used kneeling in exchange for the rise of the fifth generation and Chinese films; Later, the Chinese film, which had gradually "risen", forced those who loved it to kneel down to seek an opportunity.

It's ironic.

Therefore, successful people are often people like Wu Xiaozu who have no bottom line.

It's a sad thing.

Wu Xiaozu bit the northwest white bun that seemed to be shaking the big breasts of the M ghost sister next to him, and sighed in his heart.

Shaking M ghost sister saw Wu Xiaozu staring at herself, and stood up. . .

Bah!

Director Wu erected the 'mid-range', and 13 got wet and shook the girl!

Feelings are so kitsch! Do you think you're the new king of comedy?

"I really hope that Azu, your "Suspect" can create more brilliance!

Today's Hong Kong films are really like a long night without you! Today's filmmakers either blindly pursue the kitsch market or blindly pursue their own art, which is really a big problem.

I'm not saying that commercial movies are bad, it's an era when movies are kidnapped by the box office, with the exception of myself!

We have to try all kinds of films, we have to test the waters, and we have to learn to walk on two legs. Neither a kitsch market, nor a bend to the high and low!

Therefore, on the one hand, we must have feelings and good works to make a name for themselves internationally, but we need high-quality commercial films to occupy this market.

Only by establishing a foothold in the market commercially can there be room for art!

Hong Kong films blindly pursue the box office, and shoot everything in a mess.

What about the mainland? The old man is blindly stiff, and it really can't go on like this...... We're going to be beaten to death by foreign movies!

Azu, I'm really optimistic that you can find a way out for Chinese movies!"

The old man took out cigarette paper and tobacco leaves from Zhenliang's shirt, rolled up the dry tobacco, sipped it with his lips, foamed and moistened the cigarette roll, took the unextinguished cigarette roll of Brother Chen Kai next to him, and took a sip of the fire.

"Kyle, I know you're aggrieved. There are some things that I can't say conveniently, but fortunately, Azu said what I wanted to say.

Did you look at the conspiracy to win the award, but this time you didn't win the award, a bit of a psychological gap?"

Chen Kaige's rough face turned red, his nostrils were retracted by three points, and his nose hair was extremely sexy.

In February this year, Xiao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, making this film the first Chinese-language work to win the highest award at the world's three major international film festivals, marking the peak of the fifth generation of directors.

Lao Chen's reaction is so big, this reason is very important!

Xiao Mouzi used to mess with him, and he was his leader...... Now that his horse boy has won the first three, he himself likes to mention the 'golden alarm clock'. What is the right one?

Lao Chen is different from Wu Xiaozu, he is a person who wants face.

Speaking of which, Xiao Mouzi is also quite a winner in life, in addition to being the first director to win the three major film festivals, he is also an actor in the mainland who won the best actor at the A-class film festival...... And then also slept the muse of the fifth generation of directors collective...... Decades later, he also got a 31-year-old wife who was younger than himself, and became what netizens called 'gourd baby grandfather'

In contrast, Director Wu needs to work hard, and his youngest daughter is only younger than himself...... 16 years old. Which post-60s generation doesn't fall in love with a few post-80s, 90s, and post-00s in this life!

"Director Tianming, this is also human nature. "Wu Xiaozu withdrew his gaze from the 'white flour bun', took a bite of the white flour bun, didn't pay attention to the 'white flour bun' dangling in front of him, and handed Wu Tianming a piece of white flour bun.

"Nowadays, Chinese films are in the stage of development, precisely because of such and such drawbacks. That's what we need to work on. Make Chinese movies better and better. You just said Hong Kong films, in fact, I don't like to classify me as Hong Kong films, I prefer you to call me a Chinese film director. ”

Wu Xiaozu was compassionate, smiled a little shyly, shook his head, and sighed: "Maybe it's because I'm unwilling to let go of sincerity that I will become an outlier in the Hong Kong Island film industry." ”

Brother Chen Kai, Gu Changwei, and Xie Yuan, including the long-legged and big-chested people next to him, trembled M and instantly respected Wu Xiaozu.

"In my opinion, what is national is what is global.

The essence of the nation will never die. What our generation has to do is to carry forward the things of our ancestors and continue to innovate!

Nowadays, the film industry is on the rise, and some filmmakers, including Wanwan, have also been working hard for Chinese-language films.

The whole Chinese movie is surging and vigorously climbing!

Arts and entertainment are on the right track, and something that is both beautiful and spiritual is bound to appear.

Of course, there are a lot of bad problems at the moment, but we can't despair of the industry. I believe the future is bright.

Our generation can fall tomorrow, but we will not be scared today! Even if we are crushed to pieces, we must give our younger generations a way.

Falling red is not a ruthless thing-"

"Turn into spring mud to protect the flowers!" Chen Kaige roared in a low voice of generosity and excitement.

"Okay!

Wu Tianming laughed and raised his glass, poured a cup for himself, and Gu Changwei and Chen Kaige next to him also accompanied him with a glassβ€”β€”β€”β€” while Wu Shameless and Xiaozu solemnly poured wine for a few people.

He was afraid that he would be drunk and talk nonsense, and if he missed something, he would be beaten to death by several people!

You see, Director Wu is a very strict person in life.

"Director Tianming, can you help me contact the mainland to release "Suspect"?"

Wu Xiaozu took advantage of the fact that he was not a good chicken and said, "You have also watched this movie, and I have the heart to strengthen the connection between filmmakers from the two sides of the strait and the three places." I asked you to help me find domestic actors before, but it wasn't a temporary idea.

I've talked to Uncle Xiang and Uncle Quan about this before. I think that the increase in communication and understanding between filmmakers in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places is not only a cultural thing, but also conducive to many things. ”

He said it vaguely, but Wu Tianming understood it as soon as he heard it. In terms of political sensitivity, the number of people who have survived the bureaucracy in the mainland is definitely greater than that of many Hong Kong residents.

Since 1982, when the film "Shaolin Temple" was released in the mainland as a co-production, theoretically, the mainland and Hong Kong co-productions did not have to wait until 1994 and 1995 to be released in the mainland. Even Li Hanxiang's films over the years can be regarded as co-productions, and his films have all been released in the mainland without exception, and the box office results are not bad.

Moreover, before the arrival of 97, the "cultural connection" mentioned by Wu Xiaozu was actually considered in the mainland. Otherwise, why would there be such a big discount for the co-production of the Mainland Hong Kong?

At this time, in many Hong Kong Island movies, the image of young men in the mainland is a gangster, and the woman is a prostitute, coupled with the erotic ~ erotic or violent nature of the movie itself, a large number of movies with "bandits" and "Beigu" as the main characters have appeared on Hong Kong Island.

Wu Xiaozu's movie definitely doesn't play a side game in this regard, not at all. No one can compare to him in this regard!

He particularly wants to act as a bridge between the mainland and Hong Kong Island... (Serious face!), ahem, and make a little money by the way... Artists need to eat milk, too!

He had talked about these things with Zhang Jiazhen and Le Yiling before, and they also specially sorted out and inspected the environment of the co-production.

In recent years, Hong Kong Island films have been released in the mainland through the Yindu Organization, and then hung with the logo of the Pearl River Factory or other film studios.

To a certain extent, the establishment of the Yindu institution is also the promotion of co-productions, and at the beginning, the popularity of "Shaolin Temple" accelerated the merger of several companies into the Yindu institution.

In the past two years, To Qifeng's "Blue Water and Cold Mountain Killing Gold", Xu Anhua's "Book of Swords and Enmity", and Li Lianjie's "Chinese Heroes" have all been released in the mainland through various channels.

Du Cannon's thing is very funny. I didn't expect this movie to enter the mainland so early.

Wu Xiaozu's choice of martial arts theme lies in this.

Martial arts have few restrictions in the mainland, and they can avoid many high-voltage lines very well. At this time, many movies imported from the mainland were martial arts and kung fu genres.

In addition, it is either a movie like Ken Takakura's "Manhunt" that was bought out by Huaxia Film Distribution and Release Company. That play was the first foreign film to be released in 'ten years'.

This kind of situation of martial arts films is popular, let's call this "Shaolin Temple" syndrome. ”

"Kung Fu" has become the business card of Huaxia, and the leaders above also attach great importance to this matter, which has also contributed to the popularity of kung fu films and martial arts films in the introduction of films in the mainland.

"It's going to take a lot of relationships, but it's ......"

Wu Tianming thought for a while and said, "I suggest that you communicate with Director Li Hanxiang about this matter, I think it will be easier to promote this matter through the relationship above." On my side, not a problem. Western Film Studio can fully undertake the distribution work. ”

Hearing Wu Tianming's words, Wu Xiaozu was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded with a smile, "No problem!"

At this time in the previous life, Western Film Studio cooperated with Zhongyuan (Hong Kong) Film Co., Ltd. on a martial arts movie that was very famous in the 80s - "The Yellow River Hero". This drama can be regarded as a rare peak of martial arts movies.

The film's martial arts design can be called a teaching film.

"I'll discuss it with Uncle Xiang when I go back. ”

"If 'The Suspect' could win an award...... That's a sure thing!" Chen Kaige muttered.

There's nothing wrong with what he's saying!

"How can it be so easy!"

Wu Xiaozu smiled, continued to pour wine for a few people, and took the pen and paper handed by Gao Lihong.

"However, since everyone is fine, let's sign the contract first. You say I'll draw you a big pie!"

Several people looked at it and pointed at Wu Xiaozu with a smile.

"Brother Zu, we still don't believe you!" Xiao Gu picked up the pen and signed it with a wine burp.

Hehe, I'm afraid you'll regret it. You are reluctant to spend even the hotel money, and you just separated from your daughter-in-law on your front foot, and you do it in the car in the small alley next to the film academy.

You'd better open a secluded place!

Chen Kaige also signed the contract in a daze, but he just looked at the salary - 50,000 yuan.

The joy was covered up by drinking.

"Hehe~ Cheers!" Wu Xiaozu said with a smile, "Martial arts is the refinement of the national spirit." Didn't Mr. Lu Xun say: The more national it is, the more global it is!"

"Lu Xun said this?" Chen Kaige wondered.

"Did!"

Gu Changwei's head was like pounding garlic, "I've seen it." I have a professor friend from Peking University, and his good buddy's cousin is a great intellectual who studies Lu Xun's literature...... Hanging cup! Such a long and continuous line-"

Gesturing with both hands in the air.

β€œ(βŠ™oβŠ™)… Forehead ......"

Brother Chen Kai has a very high culture and deep knowledge reserves, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember that Mr. Lu Xun said this. But looking at Gu Changwei's sworn appearance, he didn't make any details. Everyone has said it, and a friend of his Peking University said it......

Did Xiao Mouzi hear this sentence one step ahead of himself, so he filmed "Red Sorghum"?

Thinking about it, the more Brother Chen Kai pondered, the more right he became, and glared at Gu Changwei, who was bragging at Xie Yuan: Your Peking University friend's buddy's cousin studied Lu Xun and said this, why don't you tell me first!

In later generations, Brother Chen Kai figured out this sentence, which led to "Farewell My Concubine"!

Of course, Wu Xiaozu didn't know if Mr. Lu said it, anyway, he couldn't think of adding him.

When he was drinking with these rough old men from the mainland, the phone rang-

Xiao Gu bragged while picking up the phone, pulling his neck and shouting, "Who are you?

Don't do it, don't fight here!

Homecoming!

Hey, you say nothing else, just don't do it!Find- John ooβ€”β€”? you look for John, you hit me in the house, you talk to me about that useless -"

Xiao Gu grinned and sneered, "She said she was looking for John oo and gave me the whole sentence of three pills Pris......"

"It's looking for me," Wu Xiaozu smiled and took the landline phone.

"......" Xiao Gu coughed dryly~ I felt dizzy.

I just remember that people eat pickles and melon seeds with me here, and eat white flour buns, but I forget that they are also directors with English names.

"Hello, I'm Wu Xiaozu, who are you??"
