Chapter 246: National Arts and Firearms, Kung Fu and Guns (I)
The development of Jiayi company is indeed too rapid. As he develops, the shortcomings of his lack of heritage become more and more obvious. signed Lu Ming, a director who has some grievances with the company, in addition to his own talent, he also has considerations for solving this shortcoming.
Of course, the series "Resident Evil" is undoubtedly a signature series of Jiayi Company, and it is also the most profitable film today. Not to mention that the first film has a trailer for a sequel at the end, but no, how can such a lucrative film not have a sequel?
What's more, when the first part came out, the script of the sequel, Wen Yi, had already been written.
And Wen Yi originally planned to shoot the second part by himself, but after watching Lu Ming's "Biochemical Virus", he gave up this idea. As far back as he remembers, there were so many movies he could shoot that he didn't want to waste time on a sequel to a film. What's more, he really doesn't have much interest in the sequel to this film, except for the second one.
Jiayi Company signed Lu Ming, which was naturally Wen Yi's speech. Otherwise, which senior executive of Jiayi Company made this decision without authorization. After all, Lu Ming was sarcastic about Wen Yi and their boss at the beginning.
Some people can give up a qiē for the sake of face. And some people can give up face for the sake of their dreams.
Lu Ming is the latter. He signed with Jiayi Company and took over the sequel to "Resident Evil", so it can be said that he lost little face. But in order to realize his dream, he has no other choice.
When Jiayi Company came to the door, it was the time to send charcoal in the snow. This surprised him inexplicably. He has thought about countless film companies, and he has also hoped for countless film companies. But I didn't think about Jiayi Company. This film company founded by Wen Yi.
Face. He wants it too! But he is a man with dreams. He didn't want to just let go of his dreams with failure and unwillingness.
So, he signed Jiayi Company. He knew that his entry into Jiayi Company would be one step closer to his dream.
"Kung Fu" was not completed until four months after filming, and then entered post-production. Wen Yi also returned to Huaxia.
This film is undoubtedly Wen Yi's longest shooting, just the shooting took four months, if you count the preparations, and the post-production after that. That will undoubtedly be longer.
Of course, Wen Yi's film is not the film with the longest shooting cycle. But it's still a little more time than the average movie. This world will not be like Director Wang Da in the previous life, filming "The Grandmaster" for several years. However, there are still films for a year or two.
And this also made Wen Yi, a famous fast gunner, lose this name directly. Before him, especially "Crazy Stone" and "My Sassy Girlfriend", two blockbusters and good reputations, the time spent really wasn't much.
Because of making movies, Wen Yi was absent from this year's Academy Awards. Countless people feel sorry.
"Infernal Affairs" won Best Picture and Best Director. Nine weighty awards such as Best Actor were awarded, of which two related to Wen Yi were awarded: Best Screenplay and Best Original Music for a Film.
"Infernal Affairs" is becoming the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards, and it can almost be said that it swept the entire Academy Awards, although there are still several nominations that have not been won, but a little weight of the awards have been won by it.
"Infernal Affairs" became the biggest winner, then "My Sassy Girlfriend" is undoubtedly the biggest loser. It has been nominated for many awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Film Song and other awards. But the final result of this film is: naked. Flee!
Not a single award was won!
However, in the eyes of many people, this "My Sassy Girlfriend" is just born at an inopportune time. Moreover, losing did not lose to others. It's like Best Screenplay, Best Movie Song, Wen Yi didn't win it with "My Sassy Girlfriend", but it was "Infernal Affairs" that won it.
To put it bluntly, you lose to yourself, and you win yourself.
Losing to "Infernal Affairs", no one will doubt it, and no one will cry out for it.
However, many media noticed that it was not the crew of "Infernal Affairs" who took the stage to accept the award for Wen Yi, but Lin Yuyan, the heroine of "My Sassy Girlfriend".
Lin Yuyan accepted the award for Wen Yi, which made many media seem to smell blood. The scandal between Wen Yi and Lin Yuyan was immediately stirred up again.
The scandal between Wen Yi and Lin Yuyan, I don't know how many times they have been fired. It can be said that there is no novelty anymore. However, there are still many media outlets that are happy about it.
Who made Wen Yi not attend this year's Academy Awards, but he was in the limelight.
This year's Academy Awards, not so much "Infernal Affairs" is the biggest winner, but Jiayi Company and Wenyi.
Wen Yi is too popular now, and it has been popular for a long time, and it has been a few years since her debut, but she has not been silent for long. Almost every few months, it will be the focus of the media. And it is getting more and more popular, and now it has become popular out of Asia and the world.
Such a person, any news about him, will become the focus of attention. Although Lin Yuyan and his scandal have been hyped up a few times, there is no freshness. But who let the media find an excuse?
There are so many people, and it is the award won by "Infernal Affairs", why did Lin Yuyan come to the stage to receive it?
Of course, afterwards, Lin Yuyan made an explanation, that is, she had just returned from the United States and had just separated from Wen Yi. When he came back, Wen Yi casually said that if he won the award, he would help him get it. And she, Lin Yuyan, has not yet received any awards on stage, so she took this opportunity to have a good time.
Although the award is not your own!
Naturally, few people believe her statement, or few people are willing to believe it. If the event were that simple, it would be boring.
Gossip is exciting, it has attracted much attention and is talked about.
When Wen Yi returned to Huaxia, the Academy Awards were naturally over, and even the scandal between him and Lin Yuyan faded away. At this time, the media, as well as movie fans, are focusing on another upcoming movie.
"Mulan", a film cooperated by Wen Yi and Zhang Xiaogang, has attracted much attention before it was launched. Now that there is "Infernal Affairs", a film cooperated by Wen Yi and a big director, the results are amazing, so what kind of results will "Mulan", which is also a cooperation between Wen Yi and a big director, be on top of the box office and word of mouth?
Zhang Xiaogang and Xu Ke are both top directors in Chinese films, and even in some ways, Zhang Xiaogang's influence is much greater than Xu Ke. Whether in the mainland or internationally.
And in terms of the type of art films, Zhang Xiaogang can be said to be directly out of Xu Ke.
The starring role of "Mulan" is not unknown at this time, in "Resident Evil", Yuan Fang's performance has surprised too many people. In addition to Lin Yuyan, the most brilliant and impressive to fans is undoubtedly Yuan Fang.
Yuan Fang actually has some background in his own right, but he is not popular, and then he turned behind the scenes. But after all, he is familiar with his face in front of fans. And during this time, the media inevitably hyped Wen Yi's new film, and Yuan Fang played the villain No. 2 in it, and her role was even more than Lin Yuyan's, so naturally there were fewer reports on her.
What's more, the names of Wen Yi and Zhang Xiaogang alone in this film are enough to attract fans into the theater. The two of them are undoubtedly the most appealing directors of Chinese films.
Of course, Wenyi's box office appeal is not as pure as Zhang Xiaogang. His box office appeal, because of many identities, the director is just one of them.
The theme song of this film directly uses the song "Mulan Love" written by Wen Yi for Dolma in the previous competition! An old work, but no one would have this song out of place.
However, in addition, Wen Yi also wrote an episode "Mulan Star" for this film. It's just that Wen Yi didn't sing it herself.
When Wen Yi started, she didn't plan to write this song, or she didn't think about writing it. However, after being persuaded by Zhang Xiaogang, he was criticized by the media again, and finally wrote this song. And as soon as this song came out, it directly blocked the mouth of the media.
He Wenyi is not as talented in music as they criticized! (To be continued......)
