Chapter 265: Push, Crazy
Chapter 265 Push, Crazy
Wen Yi attributes her success to hard work and luck. It seems to make sense.
Reborn, the two memories are fused, and it can be regarded as having a plug-in. But Wen Yi was able to get to where he is today in a few years, and in addition to his own efforts, there is really an element of luck in it.
Just like the success of "Crazy Stone", there is an element of luck in it. If it weren't for the coincidence of the release time, the film would not have won so much box office and would not have had that much influence.
The influence of a movie actually has a great relationship with its box office.
Of course, this cannot be generalized.
The box office success of "Crazy Stone" undoubtedly laid a financial foundation for the development of Jiayi Company. And this also provided financial guarantee for the films filmed by Wen Yi later.
Wen Yi's fame is clearly an unrepeatable miracle. He has not hyped up or deliberately increased his exposure, but he has been the focus of media chase since his debut.
As a senior entertainment reporter, he was a little incomprehensible after talking to Wen Yi. In his impression, in the entertainment industry, even if you are a king-level figure, you will inevitably be forgotten if you disappear in front of the public for a long time.
Therefore, hype, consciously increasing exposure, will subconsciously take the initiative to do. But Wenyi seems to be a special case.
In hindsight, though. Wen Yi's current achievements have nothing to do with this. As Wen Yi said, the durability of fame cannot be maintained by hype alone. In the end, it is up to the work to speak.
It can also be said that Wen Yi's mind was used on the right path.
Said works. The reporter then asked, "Mr. Wen Yi has a lot of works. Among them, in addition to the movie. music, as well as the planning of variety shows, which of these works are you most satisfied with? ”
"There is no most satisfied, only more satisfied!" Wen Yi smiled and said, looking at the puzzled look on the reporter's face, and then continued, "Take the movie as an example." Before each film is released, I do my best to make myself the most satisfied. But after the release, according to some reviews and the opinions of fans, you will find that you have not done your best, and you are not so satisfied. And if there is any shortcoming, he will naturally be better in the next film. ”
The reporter nodded, as if he understood the meaning of Wen Yi's words. So he smiled and asked again: "Which is Mr. Wenyi's favorite work?" ”
"Next work!" Wen Yi smiled. Regarding the question of whether the reporter changes the soup or not, he naturally knows the traps inside.
"What's next?" The reporter was a little helpless about Wen Yi's answer. Actually, in his opinion. Wen Yi's most successful work today is undoubtedly "Kung Fu", after all, this film is none other than this film in terms of box office and influence.
"Yes, the next film! Usually after the film is released, I don't pay much attention to it. Almost all of his energy was spent on the preparation of the new film. When the film was released, there seemed to be no interest. So, what I like the most is actually the film that is being filmed or about to be made. Wen Yi said.
When he said this, he really didn't fool the reporter.
"Is this what you Huaxia call 'liking the new and hating the old'?" The reporter seemed to really understand, so he nodded and said.
When Wen Yi heard this, his forehead was covered with black lines. However, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that I really like the new and hate the old!
"What, am I wrong?" The reporter looked at Wen Yi's crying and laughing expression, and then asked.
"Nope! No! Wen Yi said, "You're right. If you dwell on the past, what do you do to do what you are doing or will be doing? ”
"I'm looking forward to your new film, I heard that your new film is an animated film?" The reporter smiled and said. I didn't hear Wen Yi's misinterpretation of the idiom "like the new and hate the old". Moreover, he himself did not know that the term was a derogatory term.
"Not bad!" Wen Yi smiled and said, "You're very well-informed!" ”
"Huh!" The reporter smiled, and he did an exclusive interview with Wen Yi, so he naturally wanted to investigate. Wen Yi's new film is an animated film, and it is in an uproar in China and Asia, and even some European and American media have mentioned it, and it is not unusual for me to know it.
"I'd love to know, or a lot of fans know, why you don't go on with kung fu films, or even sci-fi films, but make an animated film. As far as I know, there is no market for cartoons in China than for science fiction films. Moreover, I heard that your investment in this film is very large, almost 100 million dollars. It can even be said to be Huaxia's largest investment to date. With such a big investment, aren't you afraid of losing money? ”
"When I make movies, I never think about making money or losing money!" Wen Yi smiled and said, "If you like it, shoot it, and if you want to shoot it, shoot it well!" ”
"Huh. As far as I know, the movies shot by Mr. Wen Yi and even invested in have made a lot of money so far, and he has not lost money! The reporter smiled and said.
If you make a good movie, you don't necessarily make money. The acclaimed movies are gone, but Wen Yi doesn't seem to have them, which is why many people say that he has a unique grasp of the market.
"Hehe, so I'm lucky!" Wen Yi smiled and said.
Wen Yi makes movies, and her consideration is really getting weaker and weaker when it comes to making money. Before, there were indeed concerns about this, but now there are really none. This is why I dared to shoot "Kung Fu" before, a film that I have no bottom of.
The interview ended in an atmosphere of joy. The media reporter obviously still knows how to reciprocate. For Wen Yi's new film, I still asked a lot.
Through the guò interview, for the promotion of Wen Yi's new film, this Wen Yi is naturally happy to do so.
The heat of this year's Oscars has not dissipated, and Wen Yi is ready to leave for China. However, after telling Wu Sen in advance, Wen Yi naturally would not lose his trust. On the third day after the Oscars, Wen Yi invited Cheng Jie and other Chinese filmmakers who were developing in Hollywood to get together.
There are not many Chinese who have developed in Hollywood, and there are only a few of them. One table is solved. The director is Wu Sen, and in addition to Cheng Jie, there are several actors. However, Cheng Jie is weaker in terms of fame.
In Hollywood, there are still two people who can be symmetrical with Cheng Jie in terms of fame, but they are not as good as him. One of them is also his old rival, a mainland actor who is also known for his action in Hollywood.
This person reminded Wen Yi of the kung fu emperor in his previous life. And the two of them are actually still at home, and their name is Li Long. One word less than Bruce Lee. Of course, this is also the stage name he took when he debuted.
But it's a pity that this person didn't show up today, it is said that he was filming, and he couldn't come, so Wen Yi didn't have a chance to see him.
The other is a Xiangjiang person. He didn't use kung fu to gain a foothold in Hollywood, and among the many actors who have developed in Hollywood, his acting skills are undoubtedly the best. Moreover, his acting skills have also been recognized by Hollywood, but he has starred in a few movies, but he is a little unsatisfactory at the box office.
In Hollywood, which is extremely heavy on the box office, if you can't support the box office of a film alone, then you can only talk about the foil.
This person's surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Rui! In Xiangjiang, he has won the Academy Award for Best Actor three times in a row, which can be described as infinitely popular. And now he is only forty, among the actors, he is also young, and his development potential is great.
They are all filmmakers, sitting together, and talking about movies is undoubtedly inseparable.
When the conversation was rising, Wen Yi suddenly thought of two films, maybe these two films can really push these people.
Cheng Jie's style is somewhat similar to Jackie Chan's in his previous life, and they are all people who dare to play with their lives. And itself, writing, directing, acting, and action design are all very good. It's just that after arriving in Hollywood, I didn't have the opportunity to direct, my style was restricted, and my development was a little unsmooth. If he is given enough room to develop, it may not be a surprise.
What's more, he has been in Hollywood for so long, so he is naturally no stranger to some things in Hollywood.
The film "Rush Hour", let him direct and act by himself, it may not be impossible!
And Zhou Rui and Wu Sen, both of them are a pair of old partners, just like Director Wu Da and Fa Ge in their previous lives. And the film that Wen Yi thought of when he saw them was undoubtedly "Changing Face", a film he almost made before.
Both films are double protagonists, if it is a combination of one Chinese and one Western, it may not be able to open up the market in Europe and the United States. And for these two films, the investment is not very large, at least Jiayi Company can bear it alone.
However, whether to shoot alone or with Lionsgate, Wen Yi is hesitant.
Push them and go crazy? (To be continued......)
