"What? Wu Xiang is going to make a movie for twenty years?"
"No, it's Wu Xiang who will spend 20 years making a movie!"
"Damn! This is too copycat, isn't it? Isn't this "Boyhood"? Could it be that this guy Wu Xiang wants to make a Chinese version?"
"No, people said that he was going to shoot the American version, looking for Americans, and there was nothing to do with us Chinese!"
"X! This is simply impossible to look at, the cottage has gone to other people's land, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, the Americans don't know who Luban is. β
"This, I was speechless......"
When Wu Xiang announced his new film plan, the comments from fans were really interesting.
To be honest, Wu Xiang generally does not announce his new film plan, that is, a director of his level no longer has to go around to do publicity, it should be hidden a little, and then a little more open, hey, yes, this degree is well grasped, then it's okay, it makes people reverie, this effect is the best.
For details, refer to Zhang Yimou's national teacher, and that Cheng dΓΉ is just right, and in fact, Wu Xiang did this before, but why is it different this time?
In fact, this is a bet, although he didn't say it to the media, but this is also a bet, he is betting with himself. At the same time, this bet is also related to the future changes in the international situation, and what will happen to China and the United States in the future. Just this bet, he has confidence!
So let's not talk about it for now. Let's throw this plan out first, as for this movie, let's see it twenty years later, who wins and who loses, and who collapses, then let's talk about it then, even if you media want to slap me Wu Xiang in the face, then you have to wait until twenty years later.
However, if it were twenty years later. What about me Wu Xiang slapping someone in the face?
Let's put this thing aside for a while, and what about it in 20 years...... But now there is one thing that must be done, that is, you Wu Xiang wants to copycat the "Boyhood", but where do you find this 'teenager'?
yes, that's a key question, and a, Lynclek was planning for 12 years, and the cost of his movie wasn't that high. It's just that during the summer vacation, I use my spare time to shoot. Because in fact, no one took it seriously at the beginning, and it is said that the 'young man' he was looking for had begged Linklink many times to kill his character. You see, just such a filming process, it's so annoying. So, this role is definitely not that easy to find.
And to know. Now that "Boyhood" is already famous, you Director Wu Da should follow the example of the sages. It's also like this, then the price is definitely not low, everyone knows this method, so who can agree so easily?
There are many, many problems in this, you know, if you really sign a contract, that is, the actor agrees to act, then there are a lot of issues involved, such as labor protection issues, accidental injury issues, this is a 20-year long contract, so what happened in the middle of the guarantee, and the most important thing is that in the past 20 years, the law in the United States may also change.
The most obvious thing is that you Wu Xiang is suspected of employing child labor?
Well, this accusation is really too nonsense, but that must not be guarded against, you must know that the law in the United States changes frequently, maybe when an amendment will be passed, a new judicial interpretation will be introduced, and the possibility of Wu Xiang breaking the law is also there.
From this point of view, Linklink's work is indeed too difficult.
However, Wu Xiang also has a way, he made a move, and used this trick to avoid risks as much as possible.
He said so in the notice for recruiting actors, that is, in the text handed over to the Screen Actors Guild of America.
Salary, which is twice the minimum hourly wage in the United States during filming...... Then this salary seems to be too little, right?
Don't worry, it's not over yet.
Wu Xiang will provide perfect insurance for the actors related to this movie, and the main actors involved in the filming are those individuals who need to spend '20 years' in front of the camera, and they will get all their remuneration after the whole movie shooting, that is, after 20 years, and this salary is not in US dollars, nor in RMB, but in gold!
Fifty kilograms of gold!
Let's talk about the current gold price, if we use a relatively low price to calculate, this money is almost more than 13 million RMB, that is, almost more than 2 million US dollars.
This price should be quite good, because there has been income in the past 20 years, and ah, this is gold, this is the general equivalent, this thing is actually not very affected by inflation.
As for the general equivalent status of gold, there is basically economic agreement, although Wall Street sometimes makes fools to make gold, but they always suffer from this thing. However, none of this matters, let's put it this way, a child, if he is selected, after a simple twenty years of filming, in fact, it will not take up too much time overall, just pay a little every year, but after twenty years, he will be at least a millionaire!
Maybe the dollar was not worth much at that time, and multimillionaires were possible!
This is only the male lead, and there are some related roles, and these roles will also appear in 20 years of filming, so the final salary they can get is also golden!
As soon as Wu Xiang's plan was announced, although there was an uproar in China, but in the United States, Huo, this guy was on fire at that time.
"China's big directors want to copy our films? Let's hear what Lynkleck has to say?...... Hey, Richard, what do you think Director Wu will make?"
"I don't know, but he seems to be confident. And he's really rich, and he has come up with so many tricks. And it's still twenty years, God. I thought about what if something happened in the 12 years I did, what if my lead actor had a car accident or something, I thought I was crazy, and as a result, there was a guy who was crazier than me, hahaha......"
"Will you sue him?"
"Ahh......h
"It seems. The Chinese are really good at copycats. β
"It's their forte......"
It's a talk show, naturally, they turned their guns on Wu Xiang, but that's nothing.
"Damn! I'm going to join the Screen Actors Guild now, maybe I'll be a millionaire in 20 years!"
"You save it, it is estimated that Director Wu Da wants children!"
"Do you mean he's a child moor? Like that's what his good friend MJ is. β
"Fart! You're not allowed to desecrate MJ!"
In fact, many American people don't care about what copycat is not a copycat, they are now interested in this gold.
A vigorous casting campaign is about to begin, and there are even a lot of agencies like some point companies in the United States. threw an olive branch to Wu Xiang one after another, they hope to plan this casting, let's do a reality show, what do you think?
This one......
Let's be honest. There are really business opportunities here, but Wu Xiang still refused, because he felt that this matter should not be too high-profile. Although he Wu Xiang is very confident about the future, it will be twenty years later. It's hard to say how it is.
And in the end, the important point is that Wu Xiang actually wants to choose an ordinary person. His idea is that our film still has to be kept secret, and now these things are actually coming out to find actors, and after that, we still have to sign a confidentiality agreement with the leading actors, and we must not reveal any information during filming, absolutely not.
So, let's keep it low.
The matter in the United States over there, just this casting, Wu Xiang asked Mendes for help, to be honest, this guy is proud, he shared it with Sister Kate before, and he still has money, this guy has a small life, don't be too happy.
And Wu Xiang mainly focuses on China, to be honest, he is really a little lacking in skills.
"Orphaned", Andy's anti-abduction movie, is also about to be released, this movie was made by Hua Yi, they saw Wu Xiang do a "Dear" here, this movie not only won a lot of box office, but also won a lot of major awards.
Many domestic awards have not run, and Sister Wei is on fire again, you see, such a good theme, it is better to dig deeper, it's good.
The same theme, at least this is not a copycat, but since you have pulled Andy over, and you have also found Andy's good friend Wu Junru, you must know that Sister Junru is also Chen Kexin's wife, and Andy is Wu Xiang's good friend, besides, you can't go to the theater when the movie is released?
So, for this matter, Wu Xiang had to go to the platform to help publicize, of course, the schedule was also given a very good, before the Qingming holiday.
Naturally, everyone can share the cake...... Well, this business thing, it can only be like this, we are also a market economy now, so we have to listen to the market.
This theme is really good, and in order to create people, Wu Xiang deliberately pulled his daughter-in-law to the platform together, orphaned, both of them are only children, let's have one more.
There is no way, the couple has less time together, and the eldest aunt is not fixed, so it is very difficult......
After helping Andy stand on the platform, Wu Xiang has to devote himself to the post-production of "Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea", to be honest, he is really a little too responsible, and this scene let him film, but it is really too half-hearted.
In Mr. Feng's words, it is, "I can be regarded as getting on your kid's thief ship, and the two directors who have good feelings are good, but I can toss it alone!"
This really doesn't blame Mr. Feng for complaining, Wu Xiang really has too many things......
