Seeing everyone's thoughtful looks, Wu Cheng continued: "Maybe it's because of the current situation in the country that you have this kind of thinking now! You haven't gone out, and you don't know what the situation is outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn fact, whether it is in Hong Kong or Hollywood, as a director, if you can't create value for the film company, you are not a good director. And the so-called value, in addition to winning awards, is the box office!"

Wu Cheng paused when he said this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and continued: "But compared to winning awards, I think it's easier to win the box office, after all, there are so many awards, and not everyone has the strength to win this award." But the box office of movies is different, as long as you can grasp the audience's taste for watching movies, then earning the box office is as simple as picking up things!"

However, the situation in the mainland is different from that of Xiangjiang and other countries, and it is Wu Cheng who also pointed out this point, and at the same time reluctantly said that domestic films still have a long way to go.

As a result, it was soon time for lunch, so everyone greeted Wu Cheng, had lunch in the big cafeteria of Beiying Academy, and then took a lunch break here.

In fact, Wu Cheng doesn't need a lunch break at all, and when he takes a lunch break, he is also 'creating'.

In the afternoon, Wu Cheng continued to sit with these students and 'communicate'.

Holding the microphone, Wu Cheng sat on the edge of the rostrum, but now that there was a cushion under his buttocks, those school leaders were probably embarrassed to see Wu Cheng sitting on the ground so casually!

Coughing lightly, Wu Chengcai said: "In the morning, we exchanged the question of how to choose between the art and the box office of the film, I won't say much about this, I believe everyone will slowly understand the truth in the future." So, let's talk about the cultural dissemination of films. ”

How to choose between film art and box office, Wu Cheng is not ready to mention it again. He still understands the truth that is not as good as that. Moreover, because the domestic environment is like this, it is useless to mention more.

His original intention was just to let these future directors consider this aspect more when making movies. After all, in the eyes of the older generation of film scholars, film is indeed an art, because they study it as art.

However, in the eyes of Wu Cheng, a person who has traveled from the future, the art of film is a tool from any point of view. Whether it's used to spread culture or to make money, it's just a tool. Even those who regard it as art, the vast majority of them, are merely using it to make a name for themselves.

To put it bluntly, there is no fame and fortune to tempt and confuse, who the hell is playing this thing?

"I believe that many people are also aware of this, before Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and other students also said that it can present what it wants to express in front of the audience, it has an extremely amazing dissemination, Chen Kaige even proposed that filmmakers need to pass on the 'truth, goodness and beauty' to the audience, which is the responsibility and obligation of filmmakers, which is very good. So I don't know if you realize that using this thing to spread your own culture is also a very terrible means of aggression, it can't be seen, it can't be touched, but it does exist. ”

Finally, Wu Cheng got to the point.

"Although there are still local wars in the world today, by and large, we are still in an era of peace. In this era of peace, the war with the smoke of gunpowder is gone, but I wonder if you realize that wars without the smoke of gunpowder are everywhere?"

Wu Cheng's words directly surprised those students and school leaders, and they looked at each other in the back, as if they couldn't understand, why did Wu Cheng talk about this?

Wu Cheng ignored their surprise, paused, and continued: "Our country's economy has just developed, and there is still a long way to go from those developed countries. However, it is certainly not possible to isolate the country for development. In other words, sooner or later, our country will have to integrate with the world. So the question is, after connecting with the world, foreign movies will definitely rush in, so, when the time comes, what will we resist?"

Wu Cheng grinned and said with a smile: "As a filmmaker of your generation, it can be said that you are lucky, because this is a peaceful era, when the war is gone, when the people's living standards improve, they not only have material needs, but also need to have spiritual needs." And movies will be a very good thing to enrich the spiritual needs of the people, and this is your opportunity. However, you are also unfortunate because you not only have to meet the spiritual needs of the audience, but also have to face the onslaught of upcoming foreign films, especially Hollywood films. ”

Wu Cheng sneered and said: "When the people are immersed in Hollywood blockbusters, the culture of this country will face the impact of European and American culture. When the people's thinking is gradually westernized, have you ever thought about the seriousness of this problem? When pride and arrogance become the 'straightforwardness' in their mouths, the traditional virtue of humility disappears; when disobedience to teachers becomes the 'freedom' in their mouths, the traditional virtue of filial piety is also lost; when 'sex' becomes the 'person***** chastity really becomes a torii......

Wu Chengyue said, and their hearts became heavier and heavier.

At this time, a student stood up and said, "Director Wu, you keep saying 'you', don't you think you don't recognize that you are a member of Huaxia?"

This question is somewhat heart-wrenching. As a result, everyone directly focused on this person, and the students were a little surprised, but they didn't think too much about it.

After all, they have not yet come into contact with the big dye vat of society, and some people's minds are still very simple. And this period is not the Internet era of information explosion in later generations.

But those school leaders, one by one, frowned, can this kind of question be asked directly in front of everyone? What a stupidity!

However, Wu Cheng didn't care, but chuckled lightly and said: "Why do I always emphasize 'you' instead of 'us'? Because I work hard in Xiangjiang, and even have my own film company in North America." As an international metropolis, Xiangjiang has long faced the impact of Hollywood movies, and Hollywood movies are shown there every day, and we have already 'warned' with them. But you don't, you know what I mean?"

At this time, another student stood up and said: "Director Wu, the culture of the West is so terrifying by you, then why are the Western countries becoming more and more developed? Mr. Wei Yuan taught us 'the master of the art to control the country', which shows that there are also things that are good in the Western countries!"

Wu Cheng nodded and said, "Well, this classmate said it well! So, I would like to ask this classmate, do the people of our country have a high level of education? Especially young people, do they know what is good for them and what is bad for them?"

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Many young people don't even have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Not to mention the people in our country, even on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, many young people are also the same. It can be said that Xiangjiang is the most westernized city, however, this cannot be reversed, because it is still under the rule of the British government and government. However, the mainland is different, and there are still very few foreign things in the mainland at this time, especially the film and television culture. So, we have a long way to go!"

In this way, 'you ask and I answer', Wu Cheng occasionally brags, and time flies.

Finally, Wu Cheng smiled and said: "This time I came to China, just to make a drama, this drama will be released in China in the future, well, this is hand-picked by Deng Gong." ”

Last night, in front of the ministry's designer, Wu Cheng didn't hide his purpose, so he nodded directly and asked Wu Cheng to go back and contact the Ministry of Culture.

In other words, there is no doubt that this drama will be released in the mainland. What remains is the problem of the sharing of the box office, on this piece, Wu Cheng is somewhat prepared in his heart, Gao must not be high, but at least he must vigorously fight for it, especially this time he is still wearing the tiger skin of the chief designer, if he doesn't fight for it, it will be too much of a failure.

Moreover, if these people use this as a reference for Xiangjiang films to enter the mainland in the future, then if they do not strive for a little more interests now, there will be even less room for negotiation in the future.

In terms of interests, Wu Cheng naturally can fight for a little more, and this is a matter of principle.

The country is now poor, he can donate and invest, but the interests that should be fought for cannot be given up casually.

What's more, the benefits he gave up can really be used on the people in the future.

Seeing that the students below were once again unconscious, Wu Cheng was secretly sour, and then looked at Zhang Yimou and others, and said: "Zhang Yimou, I heard that your photography skills are good, I still lack a mainland photographer here, are you interested in joining my crew!"

When Wu Cheng asked this, not only Zhang Yimou was surprised, but even others were quite surprised, and then they were deeply envious and jealous, and secretly sighed that this guy had lost his dog and luck.

After a pause, Wu Cheng said again: "Of course, if the students in the directing department are interested in how I film, I can also find time to come over to visit the class, let's communicate and learn from each other!"

Of course, everyone knows that Wu Cheng's last sentence is just a little humble.

With a big director like him, who is quite famous in the world, when they are more than enough teachers, it will really make them feel ashamed to talk about communication.

"Then, let's start our exchange meeting here!"

After Wu Cheng finished speaking, he waved at them, and then left in a dashing manner.

However, although he left, the entire Beijing Film Academy couldn't stop boiling.

This exchange will bring them a shock, like a monstrous wave! )
