Chapter 292 is beyond its reach

Relatively speaking, Wen Yi has not debuted for a long time, and he has not directed many films, but since his first film, it seems that failure has missed him.

From the success of the first screenplay "Ip Man", to the current "Rush Hour" and "Changing Face" have not set off the international storm, and even the previous "The Departed" won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, making him the first Chinese to win the Oscar.

Of course, this is an achievement of screenwriters, but it has also embarrassed countless veteran screenwriters who have been in the industry for decades. However, I have to say that Wen Yi's scripts are mostly commercial-oriented, and at most they are both commercial and artistic. A real art film, but there is still none.

As for the director's achievements above, it goes without saying. Although he has been nominated for many awards, he has not won a single award for directors so far, whether it is the Golden Horse, the Golden Statue, or the Golden Rooster Award in the mainland. I nominated several times, but none of them got my wish.

Wen Yi has already become the highest-grossing film director, even if he hasn't made movies for a few years. But the high box office of each of his movies directly made him the director with the highest cumulative box office in China, and he left the second place far behind. is the ranking of directors in the world, and he is definitely at the top.

And not winning the award of Best Director in any film awards is undoubtedly a fly in the ointment. Therefore, when it comes to Wen Yi and the director, he will only say that he is a big Chinese business director. The word "business" is added in front of the big director.

But now, he has become the first Chinese director to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. In this film award where countless Chinese directors have failed to sink into the sand, Wen Yi is ahead of many veteran Chinese film directors.

So glorious. It's enough to kill a qiē in seconds!

And for individuals, they were nominated for seven awards at one time. This undoubtedly made any Chinese filmmaker lose his voice collectively.

"Surprised? Why be surprised? He's a genius. And it's a demonic genius. Everybody knows that. Isn't it normal that he was nominated for an Oscar! When Xu Ke was asked by a reporter about Wen Yi's nomination for the Oscar, he said with a smile, "If you have to say surprise, there is really something surprising." Hehe, the surprise is naturally not that he was nominated, but that he got so many nominations. This makes us old movies embarrassed! ”

Actually, when Xu Ke got the news. I'm still surprised, but now I've figured it out, or I'm relieved. He is an excellent film director, and he can naturally see the excellence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It's just that what he didn't expect was how powerful this film would be at the Oscars.

Of course, the most surprising thing is that Wen Yi has won so many individual nominations! Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film, these two awards are not individual awards, but the Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cut, Best Original Music. Best Original Score, and Best Director. These five awards are real.

This is indeed a bit against the sky. He is the director. Naturally, he knew that there was a specialization in the arts. As far as he is concerned, Xu Ke also knows how to cut, and can also write scripts and adapt scripts. But if he really wants to be nominated for the Oscars, then he doesn't have the slightest confidence. Even in any award, there is not the slightest confidence.

At least, in these respects, he is not as confident as a director.

In fact, Xu Ke or most filmmakers seem to have Wen Yi directing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the script is easy to say, after all, many film directors write their own scripts. But the cuts, the music, and the soundtrack seemed to them to be a bit of a joke, or rather a passing. Or in layman's terms, that's amateurish!

But just such a "fun", "by the way", amateur, directly got an Oscar nomination. It left them speechless. However, if they know that the reason why Wen Yi wrote the original music and the soundtrack by himself, it is entirely because they still remember the original version of their previous life, and they don't think that they can write better if they find someone to write it. As for the cutting, it was completely arranged according to a logical cut in the previous life, and it didn't take much time for Wen Yi.

Knowing this, I'm afraid I won't be so speechless. However, obviously it is impossible for them to know this, in their opinion, Wen Yi "played" to play the nomination they dreamed of, in addition to envy, jealousy and hatred, there was only a wry smile and a word: Don't compare things with demons!

As soon as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for an Oscar, the crazy media couldn't interview Wen Yi, and naturally they would not let go of those directors and actors who had worked with Wen Yi. The most asked questions are naturally those big directors who want to hit the Oscars but return disappointed.

Xu Ke was asked, and Zhang Xiaogang was naturally asked. He, like Xu Ke, is good friends with Wen Yi. was asked, although he was a little envious, he was still happy for Wen Yi. There was not the slightest embarrassment or displeasure on his face, even if he was directly asked if he missed the Oscars, but what did it feel like for a young director to "get ahead".

"Chinese movies still depend on their young people. The farther they go, the farther Chinese movies will go! Zhang Xiaogang said with a smile.

However, among those big directors, there are still many people who have no friendship with Wen Yi, and when they are asked sharply by some reporters, they will inevitably lose their words, and then they will be caught by reporters and stirred.

Wen Yi didn't pay much attention to these at all, when he filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he already thought that he would be nominated for an Oscar, but he didn't know how many were nominated. After all, the film is a little different, and the location and time are also different.

After the nomination, how much public opinion storm will be caused, he naturally knows in his heart. However, he rarely paid attention to these himself, not to mention that he had already been prepared in his heart.

Wen Yi is still pondering his script. However, the more the script is written, the more problems it faces.

A movie is like a novel, after reading it, except for remembering the protagonist, the rest of the people have no impression, it is undoubtedly a failed work. But if you want the audience and the reader to remember the supporting characters, then you have to give the supporting characters something different.

Writing a script, in fact, the identity is different, and the things considered are different.

A screenwriter writes a script, maybe he writes just a story. But when a director writes a script, he writes a movie.

Wen Yi wrote about the battle of the Flood Desolation Lich, and what he wrote was naturally a movie. When I write, I will unconsciously think about how the film will be filmed and what it will look like.

But when he wrote like this, Wen Yi felt that he couldn't write anymore. It's not that the story can't be written, it's that the movie can't be written. Wen Yi felt that when he was shooting, he was difficult to control. The more I write, the more I feel like I'm going to smash it.

"Oscar for Best Director? Hehe! Wen Yi looked out the window and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has put a lot of effort into it, and it has put more thought into it than any previous film, but the award nominations obtained by this film, especially the nomination for best director, I am afraid that only I know how much water.

Best Director? I'm a long way from this level!

Of course, because of this film, Wen Yi naturally feels that his progress is rapid.

Should the "Flood" series be filmed? There is no doubt about this, of course. Shoot, naturally, to shoot. But Wen Yi knows that his current level, whether it is the script he writes or the movie he makes, I am afraid that he is most likely to mess up.

The story may be clear, but how well it will be told is unknown. After all, if a movie is just a story and nothing else is shown, it is undoubtedly very empty. Even if it is a feature film, the film can also show what the director wants to express from the plot.

When making a movie, you can't simply make a story. Souls are still needed!

And Wen Yi obviously can't grasp this.

Moreover, in "Flood Waste", especially the first part, the special effects involved will be the most. And in the use of special effects, they may not be handy. After all, there weren't many special effects used in previous films. Although "Kung Fu Panda" uses a lot of special effects, it is only an animated film after all.

Let's shoot some other films that use more special effects and have references to practice your skills!

Wen Yi obviously didn't want to waste the idea of "Flood Famine", which condensed many myths and stories in China.

If you want to shoot, you have to shoot well! (To be continued......)
