Chapter 1116 Isn't it ridiculous that you want to fly if your wings aren't hard?

They don't want people to be restrained by their thoughts, they don't want to be too strong in commercial elements, they just want to express their views on this society and the world through music...... Everything looks good, great, positive. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Wu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

His smile made the smiles on the faces of several young people fade away, it was not embarrassment, but some stunned, then lost, then disappointed.

They didn't expect that their idol would be such a person, actually laughing at their dreams. Anyone's dreams are sacred, and what right do others have to laugh at them?

No matter how strong your ability and achievements are, no matter how high your identity and status are, you are not qualified to laugh at other people's dreams, right?

How strong can a person who laughs at other people's dreams be?

What about the minimum respect, the minimum quality?

Seeing him smile and shake his head, they all clenched their fists one by one.

Luckily, there were only a few of them here, and if there were more people, they would have been laughed at more!, they thought.

Of course, if the man in front of them was not the person they had respected, it is estimated that his fists would have been swung by this time. Anyone who mocks them is their enemy.

But soon, they wondered what made him like this? He used to write "The Sea and the Sky" (Ashin version)!

Didn't he say thank you for the cold eyes and ridicule? Why is he now laughing at other people's dreams again? This is not scientific!

Chen Jiantian on the side saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

He knew that his big boss was not such a superficial man.

And Sister Zhao also saw these young expressions in her eyes, and then secretly stabbed her man's north queen, reminding him not to go too far.

Although she knows that her man is not such a qualityless person, she has to give others a little face!

"Ahem, let me ask you a very simple question!" Wu Cheng restrained his smile, coughed lightly, raised his index finger, and asked: "Do you think that my fame is greater, or is director Xu Anhua's fame greater, as far as the director world is concerned." ”

This question, as if showing off, seems to have nothing to answer, obviously!

Seeing that they didn't answer, he asked again: "So, do you think that I have more influence in making a movie? Or is director Xu Anhua more influential in making a movie?"

It's also a question that doesn't even need to be answered, and it's the same as the one before.

Then Wu Cheng said: "Do you know why my first film will be a commercial film? Or why did we make comedies at the beginning of the establishment of Donglong International?"

Without waiting for them to answer, Wu Cheng continued: "There is only one purpose, to let his film company gain a foothold among many film companies and stand out! To put it bluntly, it is to make money. This is a very simple truth, only our company can make money, in order to gain a foothold in many film companies. Only if the company can gain a foothold among many film companies can we continue to make films, and only by continuing to make those films that make money can the company continue to grow step by step...... It wasn't until later, when the company had a little money to spare, that I started to get involved in those art films. Luckily, my art films are doing well at the box office!"

"So, why didn't we make art films at the beginning, but kept shooting commercial comedies? Is it really that we don't have any ideas and views on life, society, and the world?" Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders, and then spread his hands and said, "Of course not!" It's just that we know very well that if we really did that from the beginning, we can only continue to be a director like director Xu Anhua, and continue to raise money everywhere for the next film, instead of shooting whatever we want like now!"

When everyone heard this, they were thoughtful.

Although Wu Cheng has been talking about his own business, they can hear that Wu Cheng is actually referring to their Beyond band.

They haven't become famous yet! Where does the influence come from for them to exert themselves?

"Principal Wu, then, why ...... then" Huang Xizhong wanted to say and stopped, he wanted to ask, 'Why are you always making commercial films now?'

But this question is a bit poignant, and he is a little embarrassed to say it.

Huang Jiaju's younger brother was still young, so he couldn't help but ask.

Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, and said with a smile: "I never said that my ideal is to make those art films! From the movies I have made, it can be seen that I prefer commercial films that most audiences like." If I also make those niche art films, then how can I transfer some of my little ideas to Europe and the United States, to the world? You have to understand that there is still a big cultural difference between the East and the West. ”

Seeing the thoughtful looks of a few young people, he said again: "Therefore, your ideas and persistence are all right, and they are all worthy of respect and admiration. But the approach was completely wrong, and it was ridiculously wrong. Isn't it naïve for you to think about carrying such a big burden on your back, as if your wings are not yet hard, and you want to fly?

When he said this, several of them turned red-faced, and suddenly felt that their thoughts were indeed very naïve and ridiculous!

Seeing their expressions that went from anger to embarrassment, he smiled, got up and patted them on the shoulder, and said, "Go to Tiancheng Brokerage to sign a contract! As long as the dream is still there, it is never too late to start realizing it! Oscillating between the ideal and the reality can only end up wasting time and wasting time. ”

They couldn't help but look at Chen Jiantian on the side, because Chen Jiantian had also told them something like this. But they didn't listen to it at the time.

So, I have to say that sometimes, the same sentence comes out of the mouths of different people, and the effect is completely different.

Why was it that when these words were said by Chen Jiantian, they could be indifferent, but when they came out of Wu Cheng's mouth, they had a feeling of sudden realization?

There is only one reason, when Wu Cheng said this, he was more convincing.

Because he is using himself to show up, and Chen Jiantian can only talk in generalities.

After walking a few steps, Wu Cheng turned around again and said, "When you are about to make your debut, the songs "Sea and Sky" and "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" that I once composed can be licensed to you to sing for free. In addition, there is actually another version of the song "Sea and Sky", and the lyrics and music are different from the song "Sea and Sky" I wrote before, so I will give it to you when the time comes!"

Hearing him say this, several people bit their lipes excitedly, and then waved their fists vigorously.

But what they didn't expect was that after Wu Cheng took two steps, he turned his head again and smiled at them: "By the way, there is another thing, go back and work hard to learn Chinese, not because I like it, but you have to know that the audience of Chinese is wider." Many overseas Chinese may not speak Xiangjiang, but they can speak Chinese. Besides, as a Chinese, if you can't even speak your mother tongue well, it will be a little embarrassing to go out!"

Again, their faces were a little hot.

Although they can listen to Chinese, they don't speak it very slippery, and even some foreigners who live in Hong Kong all year round can speak it well, which is indeed quite embarrassing.

However, in fact, Wu Cheng still hopes that they will write more Chinese songs in the future, so that when they have the opportunity to develop in the mainland in the future, they can only sing songs in Xiangjiang dialect.

Although many people like their songs in Xiangjiang dialect, there are also many people who don't like them, after all, the popularity of Xiangjiang dialect is not so widespread.

If it weren't for the fact that the entertainment industry in the mainland was underdeveloped at that time, and Xiangjiang movies and music were indeed very developed at that time, it is estimated that the public would not be able to settle easily.

In the future, it is inevitable that the entertainment position will be transferred to the mainland. Rather than preparing at that time, it is better to start now, step by step.

"You're very optimistic about these young people?"

After saying goodbye to them and leaving, Sister Zhao asked in a low voice beside him.

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "If I say that they have the potential to become a rock icon of the era, you will definitely think that I am talking nonsense." However, I am really optimistic about a few of them, especially the lead singer Huang Jiaju. He's the soul of this band!"

This is not Wu Cheng's casual nonsense, but has been proven by time and history.

It is an indisputable fact that the band Beyond has been on a downward trajectory since the loss of Wong Ka Young. It can be said that without Huang Jiaju's Beyond, there is only a shell left.

As for saying that he is a rock icon of a generation, it is naturally not a casual remark.

In fact, there are not too many post-70s and post-80s influencers influenced by the Beyond band, and even many post-90s people like it very much.

"Ah Cheng, Ah Zhi!"

As the two were talking, Fourth Brother Li beckoned to them, and then walked over, touched the cup with Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi, and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng, happy birthday! ”

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, don't be so polite." ”

Every year Wu Cheng's birthday is celebrated in private, and even many years of his birthday are used to release his new film, so he has never received gifts from others in the name of his birthday.

However, those who have a good relationship with him will send gifts to his house on this day.

Fourth Brother Li smiled, changed the topic, and said, "I heard that you have a stake in HK Electric?"
