Zhibo?

Wu Yuan looked at Xie Xiaojing in a daze, and subconsciously said the truth: "Can you not read it?" ”

He really doesn't want to read this doctorate, it's pointless!

Education does not have much impact on Wu Yuan now, even if he is not a doctor of directing, it will not affect his fame and status in the world film industry at all.

So why do you want to do this PhD again?

But Xie Xiaojing didn't think so, to be precise, the top didn't think so.

"Xiao Wu, you must read this doctor." Xie Xiaojing shook his head slightly: "This is what the head meant." ”

"You won the Best Director in Berlin at the age of 20, which is indeed a good result that has never been done before, and probably will not be the one that will come after."

"But it's because you're so good at a young age that we should avoid hurting Zhongyong."

"The leaders in charge of cultural work are very optimistic about you, and I also hope that you will make more outstanding achievements for the Chinese film industry in the future and make more excellent movies."

"As the saying goes, to build a building, the most important thing is to lay a good foundation, and we old men still have something to teach you and help you on another journey."

"You have to learn this, and you have to study hard!"

Xie Xiaojing said righteous words, although Wu Yuan is the best director in Berlin, but in the eyes of the five doctoral supervisors in this office, it is not enough.

As the highest directing institution in China, the film school specializes in training directors who have won the three best films in Europe, and they are indeed qualified to continue to teach Wu Yuan, the best director in Berlin.

"The duration of study is four years, and after four years, the master's degree and doctoral degree will be obtained together, but you have to shoot a graduation assignment that satisfies the tutor!"

Xie Xiaojing said unhurriedly: "Of course, you also have benefits, you don't have to shoot a graduation short film after graduating from the bachelor's degree, and being able to shoot "The Undertaker" has proved that your directing level has exceeded the undergraduate academic standards." ”

Speaking of this, the leaders above have all moved out, and it is absolutely impossible for Wu Yuan to refuse this direct doctoral position.

After digesting the news, Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Then read it." ”

There was really nothing to give him room to refuse in this matter, and Wu Yuan didn't want to refuse the kindness of several mentors.

After looking around, he said without much hesitation: "Then can I report to the director for his doctoral students?" ”

If you want to talk about which mentor is the most powerful, it must be Professor Xie Fei, this is a great director who has won the Golden Bear, but Wu Yuan is not familiar with him, so Wu Yuan still chose Xie Xiaojing.

As soon as he heard that Wu Yuan was going to choose him as a mentor, Xie Xiaojing's old face immediately burst into laughter.

"Wise choice!"

......

After returning to school to meet the teacher, Wu Yuan didn't have much time to spare.

Han Dong returned to China two days later than him, and the first thing he did after returning to China was to find Wu Yuan.

"Director Wu, the copyright and distribution rights of "The Undertaker" have almost been sold, and the distribution rights of more than 100 countries around the world have been sold, all of which are directly bought out."

"A total of $6.82 million was sold!"

As soon as they met, Han Dong sent good news first!

The release of "The Undertaker" sold very well, and the film of the best director in Berlin did not sell at all, otherwise why would mainland directors be so sought after by the three major European ones?

Of the $682, the New Line in North America paid 3 million to buy out the distribution rights of "The Undertaker" in North America, including the distribution rights of DVDs.

The remaining $3.82 million was sold for distribution in dozens of European and South American countries, and tens of thousands of dollars together is a lot of money.

As one of the world's top three film markets, there are still many more filmmakers coming to Berlin than going to Sitges, and they are also richer.

The smart Han Dong also left a hand, and the issuance of several Asian countries was not bought out, but talked about cooperative distribution, especially Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia!

Han Dong thinks that "The Undertaker" will make money in these countries, and he doesn't plan to sell it for tens of thousands of dollars, and wants to give it a go!

However, these things have nothing to do with Wu Yuan, he has never participated in the distribution and release work, this is the case in the mainland, and it is also the case in Hollywood.

In the final analysis, he is still just a director, and he only does his own things in one acre and three points of land.

After having a general understanding of the sales of "The Undertaker", and confirming with Han Dong that the film would be released in the mainland in early March this year, Wu Yuan was busy flying to the United States again.

Domestic affairs are over for the time being, and Wu Yuan still has a mess of things to deal with in the United States!

There was almost no rest, and Wu Yuan, who had just returned to China, took a long-haul flight of more than ten hours to the United States.

On March 2, 2002, Wu Yuan landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

It was the familiar John who came to pick him up.

"Hey, the youngest best Berlin director in history is back."

As soon as they met, John gave Wu Yuan a bear hug: "Daniel, I recently learned a saying from your Chinese people, if you don't see each other for a day, it's like every other autumn!" ”

"I miss you so much!"

"It's so hateful that you threw it all to me like this because of the big mess of things in the Light Era!"

Wu Yuan smiled and patted John's back with his backhand, and said with a smile: "I'm just a director, in the part of the crew, you, the producer, are professional." ”

"John, how's the "The Hangover" crew preparing?"

"Of course it went very well." John helped Wu Yuan lift his suitcase, and while walking with him to the parking lot, he reported: "The crew has completed the preparations, and the actors have been decided, with Ryan Reynolds starring." ”

"Director, I also found a guy named Todd Phillips."

"Todd Phillips?!" Wu Yuan looked at John in surprise, "How did you find him?" ”

If he's not mistaken, this Todd Phillips is the director of The Original "The Hangover"!

John smiled and explained, "Todd is a very young director, oh, not as young as you. ”

"In 2000, he wrote and directed an adventure comedy called Hala on the Road, which was quite funny, although it didn't sell very well at the box office, but the DVD market made a lot of money."

"The script of "The Hangover" you gave me is also a road comedy, and after I got the script, I felt that he was quite suitable for directing this play."

"What's more coincidental is that a friend of mine knows him, and I heard that he has recently been looking for investment for his next film, but the Big Six have rejected him, and he is worried about this and plans to find a few independent film companies to try."

"So I took the initiative to find him and invited him to direct the movie "The Hangover".

"And I also promised him that if "The Hangover" can be a big hit, then his next movie, our company will vote!"

"Daniel, I remember I emailed you specifically about this."

Wu Yuan recalled it carefully, and it seems that he had read an email from John some time ago, mentioning an excellent director and saying that the company could vote for his script.

"You are more professional than me in this part of production." Wu Yuan shrugged: "Since you are optimistic about him, then of course I believe in your vision." ”

Todd Phillips is certainly a very good director.

Although he is still unknown, he has never lost any movies he wrote and directed in the future, and later directed "Joker"!

John's vision can!

Wu Yuan is even more satisfied with the collaborator he selected!
