“……”

There is depression in the air - at this time, mainland filmmakers still have a great sense of honor, and at the same time, they are very, very concerned about what foreign media think of us, and they are extremely lacking in identity.

This can't be regarded as a general admiration for foreigners, but a lack of confidence in oneself in the environment at that time.

Just like in life, the poorer the person, the better the face. Because for them, self-esteem is the last fig leaf, and there is no other choice.

This time, "The Child King" was ridiculed by foreign media, which was tantamount to a devastating blow to Chen Kaige, who was a serious movie-maker.

Brother Chen Kai is really a face-saving person, this time ...... Lizi lost all his face.

"Director Tianming, the ticket is booked......"

Gu Changwei lowered his head to clean up the instant noodles and mustard, picking and choosing, looking very lonely. The actor next to him, Xie Yuan, also silently stuffed toiletries into the duffel bag.

"Ahem - you don't have to be like this, it's just a prank made up by a few reporters. Since we came out to judge the awards, we must also be mentally prepared to be scolded, right?" Wu Tianming stood up and squeezed out a smile to comfort the people in the room.

"Blame me. ”

Brother Chen Kai snorted Zhongnanhai cigarettes, one after another, "It's a bit ambitious, I can't help myself." ”

The whole nostril is like a blower, and the nose hair is lush and full of the initial stubbornness.

In his previous life, this Golden Alarm Clock Award hit Chen Kaige very hard. So much so that he chose to go to the United States to enrich himself and study film expertise. This opportunity was made possible by his father's ability and connections. This training has had a great impact on Chen Kaige's style.

Three years later, he returned to Cannes with new works and began the road of self-redemption.

In fact, it is not a bad thing for directors or artists to sharpen and fight.

Director Wu cheated him this time, and he also had the idea of cultivating him in his heart!

"You want to go back?"

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Wu Xiaozu, who was tall and long-legged, walked into the room with a smile that was not human, and carried four bottles of Louis XIII in his hand.

"Mr. Wu~" Gu Changwei hurriedly brought a chair to Director Wu.

"The atmosphere is so weird?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled harmlessly, and asked knowingly, "The film festival will close the day after tomorrow, so it's better to wait two more days." Why? Look at you all with straight faces, what's going on?"

"The Child King won the Golden Alarm Clock Award, I really don't have the face to stay any longer...... "Brother Chen Kai said in a dry voice, "It's better to go back early." ”

"Golden Alarm Clock Award?" Director Wu smiled heartily, put the wine on the table, and said solemnly, "Director Chen, I won't hide it from you." I watched your "The Child King", and I think this movie is very humanistic. ”

Chen Kaige's face was stiff, and he was snorting a cigarette.

"Sit, everybody. ”

Wu Xiaozu patted Brother Chen Kai's shoulder and said earnestly, "Director Chen, don't think that I came here to say cool things, come and see the excitement." ”

"Director Wu, we don't have ......"

Wu Xiaozu pressed Comrade Xiao Gu's shoulder, beckoned and smiled, "We don't want to be called by Director Wu and Director Chen, you can call me Azu or Xiaozu, and I'll just call you Xiao Gu and Lao Chen, right?

Lao Chen, I really like your "Child King", Uncle Xiang told me that he thinks this is his favorite movie among the movies you have made. It's even better than your previous "Yellow Earth".

There are many things about our culture that foreigners don't necessarily understand. So in their eyes, it may seem dull.

But that doesn't mean it's not a good thing. Let's all be our own people, so open the skylight and say something.

You don't have to take this evaluation of the ghost guy to heart, it's a big deal to make another drama in the future to earn back face!

I really think that the play "The Child King" is really good.

Lao Chen, you are a cultural intellectual, and you can't feel sorry for yourself. Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance

。 I'm sure you'll be able to shoot something that will surprise foreigners in the future!"

"Thank you, Wu ...... Azu!"

Chen Kaige's throat was blocked, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden. Looking at Wu Xiaozu's smile, it gave him a feeling like a spring spring. At this moment, he was really grateful to Wu Xiaozu.

The big director and big boss of Hong Kong Island came to comfort himself at this time, and these thoughtful words really made his chest hot.

"Azu, because of your trust, I will treat you as my brother!"

"That's right. ”

Wu Xiaozu Yi Bo Yuntian smiled, "Let's also be regarded as a hometown acquaintance! Brothers, if there is a difficulty, everyone will carry it together, the ancestor said: Why does the eldest husband have no wife! Why do we have no awards? I bought the drama "The Child King"! I like Xiao Gu's photography, and I like your Lao Chen's style!"

"Brother Zu, you are really ...... Thank you!" Gu Changwei's face was wrinkled, and tears of emotion fell, but at the age of thirty-one, he sincerely called 25-year-old Wu Xiaozu "Brother Zu".

The play "The Child King" was published as a videotape, and some made money. Especially Wanwan and Dongying, who are very curious about the mainland, this kind of literary film is still quite marketable.

In the previous life, this film was successively released in more than a dozen countries and regions, proving its market prospects.

It's not that literary films can't make money, but it just depends on the cost. You can't throw tens of millions of dollars into it to make a literary drama? But "The Child King" is a movie with a small cost and a negligible purchase cost, and there will definitely be some money!

At the same time, you can also enrich your own film library!

The most important thing is that he is very optimistic about Chen Kaige...... Uh, that's a bit of a drift to say.

Think about it, after yourself, Zuo Jiawei, right Kaige, followed by Yang Dechan and Hou Xiaoyuan, drove a group of horses from the Goryeo Department and the Hong Kong Island Department...... A sentence of the godfather of Chinese movies, it is estimated that no one dares to object!

"I am very interested in the mainland environment, and I especially want to make a martial arts movie. Director Tianming, Lao Chen, Xiao Gu, if you have nothing to do after you go back, why don't you help me contact the domestic studio......" Wu Xiaozu turned over the glass, poured five glasses of wine, and distributed them to Brother Chen Kai, Gu Changwei, Wu Tianming, Xie Yuan and himself.

"You don't dislike it, it's better for everyone to work together on a play. Xiao Gu is here to be the cameraman, and Lao Chen is the artistic director of this play?"

"Cooperation?"

Brother Chen Kai looked like a cheap big brother, took the wine, and took a sip, "Xiao Gu, take out the mustard, hot sauce, and peanuts." ”

"I still have eggs and chicken paws. ”

After a while, several people set up a simple table on the bedside table, drank foreign wine and ate peanuts.

"Nowadays, martial arts movies are in decline, Azu, if you want to shoot martial arts, you have to think about it carefully. ”

Wu Tianming took a sip of wine and smacked his lips, "But if you want to shoot a martial arts movie, I can help you contact the Northwest Film Studio." Now that the state encourages co-production, we should be able to get a lot of discounts! Many equipment and personnel can be exempted or exempted. Now the local government also supports film filming...... If you really want to shoot, I can also help you contact the local troops......"

"I remember that there is a batch of new costumes here in Northwest Film, right?" Chen Kaige thought for a while and said, "With your fame, Azu, you really plan to come to the mainland, and you will definitely be welcomed by the above." ”

Wu Xiaozu looked at a few people with a smile, you say a word, I will help yourself for your own benefit.

Good brothers! Look after you! I don't lose the thousands of dollars I spent on helping you get a golden alarm clock!

"Lao Chen, how about I let the people of the company prepare with you?" Wu Xiaozu struck while the iron was hot, and Xiao Zhi said with profit, "Director Tianming, how about you and Lao Chen do the art direction of the new play together?"

As he spoke, Wu Xiaozu took out a cashier's check, wrote an amount, and pushed it in front of several people.

500,000 Hong Kong dollars, definitely a lot. A few days ago, after sleeping a few days ago, Liu Jialing gave 500,000!

Seeing that the faces of several people were unhappy, Wu Xiaozu explained, "Don't misunderstand. I know that you are not greedy for money, otherwise I would not have chosen to contact you. However, this money is the cost of preparing for the new play. ”

"Okay, I'll take it first. It just so happens that this time I need to transfer to Hong Kong Island. Wu Tianming cherished this cashier's check.

He doesn't know how to redeem money, but he has also seen the scenes in the movie, and he wants to go to Hong Kong Island and ask someone from the Yindu Agency to help handle it, and he and Liao Yiyuan are also good friends.

"I'll go back and send you the synopsis. This play is based on Director Hu's old work. Actor selection, see if there is a suitable candidate in the mainland, and help choose it. Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

In the past few days, he and Hu Jinquan have finalized the adaptation of "Dragon Gate Inn", the copyright is in the hands of Shaw Brothers, and with his current relationship with Shaw Brothers, it should not be difficult to get it.

Xu Yu's version of "New Dragon Gate Inn" actually looks closely, from the first act, you can see the shadow of Director Hu. In comparison, Xu Yi's version is not as good as Director Hu, but Xu Yi has quickened the pace and added martial arts routines, making this drama more suitable for the current market.

Wu Xiaozu is also very fond of this theme.

The desert is lonely, the vast world, the sword is rough, and the chivalrous beauty.

Of course, his "Dragon Gate Inn" will not imitate Xu Yu's version. With Wu Xiaozu's film theory and execution today, there is naturally no need to imitate Xu Yu, and he has formed his own theory and style.

Now, Xu Yi and Hu Jinquan's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has entered a stalemate.

Wu Xiaozu naturally did not allow the name of the pioneer of the new martial arts film style to fall to his family.

In his previous life, Xu Yu occupied a very important position in the history of Chinese film with this title. In this life, there is no need for Wu Xiaozu to sow discord, Hu Jinquan and Xu Yi are estimated to continue to make trouble.

The two of them can't play together at all...... ╮(╯▽╰)╭！

In his previous life, the drama "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was filmed for more than three years. I almost had a difficult birth. During this period, four or five directors were changed, and finally Hu Jinquan withdrew directly. In desperation, Xu Yu, the producer, could only end up in person!

From the movie, you can see the inconsistency of style...

Now, with the help of Brother Chen Kai and Gu Changwei, Wu Xiaozu believes that his martial arts movie will surpass his previous life.

At the very least, mobilizing the people's soldiers to film has a huge advantage!

When the time comes, you can also go to Shaolin Temple Tagou Martial Arts to see...... The kind of picture of countless people 'fighting' is really shocking! And it's very cheap......
