Chapter 565: Returning to China

When everyone arrived in France, it was noon, Wong Kar-wai waved his hand and decided to invite guests to dinner, this romantic city in France even the restaurant revealed a romantic atmosphere, Wu Hua sat in the French restaurant, looking at the red overlapping curtains, the French enthusiasm on his face, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Min, he must like it.

Compared with Wu Hua, who went abroad for the first time, others seemed much calmer, picked up the menu and began to order, Wu Hua rarely eats Western food, let alone French food, he can't understand the French on the menu, so he simply ordered the same dishes as Wong Kar-wai.

The first dish is French foie gras, which Wu Hua has eaten in a Chinese Western restaurant, and the taste is good, but the taste is far inferior to that of Chinese food. Western food is the mood, Wu Hua ate the foie gras in two bites.

The restaurant was quiet, and occasionally Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung were whispering to each other. Wong Kar-wai noticed that Wu Hua's mood was not high, and asked intimately, "How is it?" Don't you like Western food? ”

Wu Hua smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I can't get used to it." ”

Wong Kar-wai smiled, "I'm not used to eating these, let's eat a little bit, we have to find a few directors in the afternoon, and some of them will be busy at that time, and they will definitely not be able to survive without eating." ”

Wu Hua nodded, but thought in his heart that if he saw the director, he would be able to survive no matter how hungry he was. After everyone finished eating, they walked to the booked hotel, which was a five-star French hotel with an expensive atmosphere all around.

"One room for each person." Wong Kar-wai said.

A blonde waitress walked to Wu Hua's side, led Wu Hua upstairs, and took the elevator to the 15th floor.

Amused by his own analogy, Wu Hua laughed, and the waitress looked at him strangely, and said in English, "What's wrong, sir?" Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

Wu Hua waved his hand and entered the room, and the waitress retreated quietly. After placing the luggage, Wu Hua hurriedly went downstairs and arrived at room 0102.

Wong Kar-wai just said that he lives here, and everyone can come here to find him after putting their luggage. Wu Hua was the first to arrive, Wong Kar-wai had just opened the suitcase and glanced at Wu Hua in surprise, "You packed up quickly." ”

Wu Hua smiled and said, "I have few things to bring, there is nothing to pack, who are we going to see in the afternoon?" ”

Wong Kar-wai stood up with his legs propped up and patted him on the waist, "I saw a few foreign directors, Chinese directors, we were the first to arrive: it is estimated that they will come one after another tomorrow." Have you seen the Fifth Element? ”

Wu Hua was stunned for a moment, he had seen the movie Fifth Element before. But it's still the last time I watched it, but I just have some impressions, and I can't remember exactly what happened. But he still nodded and said, "I know this film, its director is Luc Besson, right?" ”

Wong Kar-wai laughed and gave a thumbs up, "That's right, it's just that he'll go see Luc Besson in a moment." This time, the fifth element was also shortlisted for the Cannes Award, which is a special award for technology, although it has nothing to do with the director, but he still came, and the films in our mainland still lack technical visits, he can at least talk about technical issues. ”

Wu Hua nodded, sat quietly on the sofa, and after a while, other actors and crew came one after another, Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung had their own tasks and did not come.

They were going to visit the other actors who were shortlisted for the Cannes Awards, which was also a separate act, Wong Kar-wai made a phone call, and it was impossible to guess that the person opposite was Luc Besson.

After a while, Wong Kar-wai pointed to it and said, "He's in the room, let's go upstairs." ”

Luc Besson has directed many famous films, and Wu Hua remembers that the most famous of them is that this killer is not too cold, as well as Nikita's film version, and in the future, he also directed Hurricane Rescue and Super Body, both of which are very well-known movies.

Wu Hua was a little excited to see such a famous director, and they came to Luc Besson's room, where he was drinking coffee. Seeing Wong Kar-wai coming, he enthusiastically opened his arms and hugged Wong Kar-wai. The two talked enthusiastically, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, Wu Hua didn't bother, she stood quietly and listened, her English was not bad, and she could hear the conversation between the two of them.

They briefly chatted about the directors of several films shortlisted for the Cannes Awards, and Luc Besson praised, "Chinese films are gaining momentum, and this year you were shortlisted for the Cannes Awards, and Ang Lee is also here, and his Ice Storm has achieved good results, and it is said that he won the Best Screenplay Award." ”

Director Ang Lee? Wu Hua forgot that Ang Lee also came to the 50th Cannes Film Festival, probably because it was not him who won the award, so he was not particularly impressed. Wu Hua knew that there were several famous directors in the mainland at this time, except for Wong Kar-wai, and the number one was Ang Lee. By this time, Ang Lee had already directed many Hollywood works, such as Brokeback Mountain, Sense and Sensibility.

There is even one of China's most famous films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If he also comes to the Cannes Film Festival this time, Wu Hua will be very excited, which means that she can also see director Ang Lee at the Cannes Film Festival.

If he enters the big screen in the future, he first met Wong Kar-wai and then Ang Lee, so it can be said that he doesn't have to worry.

Wu Hua was thinking over there, Wong Kar Wai introduced Wu Hua to Luc Besson, "This is a screenwriter I am very optimistic about, although he is young, he is very talented, I want to introduce you two to each other." ”

Luc Besson did not despise Wu Hua at all, because he was a big director. She shook hands with Wu Hua warmly, laughed and said, "Hello, it's nice to meet you, Wong Kar-wai is a very picky director, if he says that you are a good screenwriter, then you must be very good." ”

Wu Hua hurriedly shook his head and said, "My screenwriting career has just started, and I hope that one day I can be worthy of the praise of director Wong Kar-wai." ”

Next, they visited several more directors, and the next day, director Ang Lee came, and Wong Kar-wai introduced Wu Hua to Ang Lee.

Li An laughed and said, "I've heard of you for a long time, and I have discovered the treasure of spring, and Director Wong Kar-wai wouldn't be able to occupy the current position without you." ”

Ang Lee dared to speak like this, he must have a good relationship with Wong Kar-wai, and Wu Hua knew that this trip to Cannes was the right one. At the same time, he also had the idea of entering the Hollywood big screen.

Luc Besson is a person who loves talents, he heard that Wu Hua is a screenwriter, and he has already exchanged mobile phone numbers with him, Wu Huajian knows that he will direct Hurricane Rescue and Super Body in the future, why didn't he send the script of Hurricane Rescue and Super Body to Luc Besson earlier?

Thinking like this, Wu Hua was a little excited. If he can really complete the rescue of the superbody and the hurricane, hand it over to Luc Besson, and shoot it, then he will have the same status as Ang Lee and Wong Kar-wai.

As far as he knows, there has never been a screenwriter in China who can stand in such a position, and he is lucky, Wu Hua thought so more than once.

Not everyone has the opportunity to start over, and not everyone can be like he is now, step by step towards success.

The Cannes Film Festival was held for a total of 12 days, and during these 12 days, Wu Hua was like a spinning top spinning non-stop. But he didn't feel tired at all, on the contrary, the whole person was in an excited stage, he was in contact with his future career, just thinking like this, Wu Hua could continue to be excited like a perpetual motion machine.

On the last night, Wu Hua lay in the hotel, a little regretful. The happy time is always short-lived, he is about to start struggling when he returns to China, many good movies are waiting to become scripts under him, he also knows many famous directors, maybe he will write a new page for the Chinese film and television industry.

On the plane back to China the next day, everyone looked tired, only Wu Hua looked energetic.

Wong Kar-wai praised with a smile, "If there is such an opportunity in the future, I must bring you here again, you have performed really well." ”

Wu Hua smiled, he knew that he could have it, and his future success would be inseparable from Wong Kar-wai's recommendation today. It is precisely because of buying Wong Kar-wai's face that everyone will know a little-known screenwriter, otherwise who would pay attention to Wu Hua.

Wu Hua was a little grateful, but he didn't show it. He knows that Wong Kar-wai will not have a lot of directing works in the future, and his only chance is a generation of grandmasters, but unfortunately Wu Hua has not watched that movie, Wong Kar-wai is his leader, but standing in Wong Kar-wai's position, Wu Hua can no longer help him.

After returning to China, Wong Kar-wai decided to take a good rest for two days, and also told Wu Hua to pay attention to his body, not to always work so hard because of his young age, so that his body collapsed in the future, and it was too late to regret it.

Wu Hua nodded and didn't say anything. When he got home, he finished writing all the Meteor Gardens non-stop, and he called Guan Wenshan and sent him the script to give it to the director who specializes in romance dramas.

Guan Wenshan was a little surprised, "You finished writing so quickly, didn't you go to the Cannes Film Festival with Wong Kar-wai these days?" ”

Wu Hua nodded and said, "It is precisely because of this that I want to finish these TV series immediately, I have an idea, I want to enter the big screen." ”

Guan Wenshan didn't feel surprised at all, even if she had nothing to say now, she was going to dissect aliens, Guan Wenshan thought that she would not hesitate to believe that she would be able to do a good job without words.

Since he is preparing to enter the big screen, Wuhua has to think about what kind of work he wants to write, he can't write the hurricane rescue as soon as he comes up, the movie must adapt to the development of the times, it is now 97 years, he should look for it, this time of fire or award-winning works.

Wu Hua took out a piece of paper, wrote it on the paper when he thought of a movie, and finally decided on its goal.
