After watching the finished film of "The Hangover", Wu Yuan let go of the last trace of worry in his heart and stepped on the flight back to China with ease.

Returning to China this time, Wu Yuan was no longer able to enjoy the treatment of Han Dong's pick-up.

The courtyard at home has been renovated, but because of the teacher's call, Wu Yuan did not choose to go home as soon as possible.

After hailing a taxi at the airport, he went straight to school.

In the capital in March, the weather is still relatively cold.

The public opinion discussion set off by "Hero" has gradually calmed down with this cold air.

However, the waves caused by this film in the industry have only just begun.

A number of film and television companies mainly engaged in the investment and production of TV dramas, such as Tanglong International, Paige Taihe, Happy Media, and Guangxian Media, have shifted their attention to the film industry.

Huayi Brothers, a company that has been investing in movies for a long time, is even more enthusiastic.

Director Feng's "Mobile Phone" has not yet been filmed, and the big and small kings of Huayi are already discussing the plan for the next movie with Director Feng.

Stimulated by the 250 million mainland box office of "Hero" and the 30 million Hong Kong Island box office, Huayi's big and small kings also plan to make a commercial blockbuster with Director Feng.

Of course, it's not like "Hero", which doesn't focus on big scenes, but it has to find a big star on Hong Kong Island to act!

Although the script has not yet been made, the actors have already set their eyebrows.

The initial plan is to invite Liu Tianwang, who became popular in the mainland because of the movie "Infernal Affairs", to play the leading role!

Bona Films, which mainly focuses on the private distribution market, is also a little keen on film production and plans to test the waters to make movies.

Not to mention the Chinese film and Shanghai film with the prefix of the national character, it is necessary to increase the horsepower and work hard!

Even film giants such as Emperor and Media Asia on Hong Kong Island have shifted their attention to the mainland.

It is foreseeable that the Chinese mainland film market in 2004 will definitely not be calm, and the situation of only a dozen or twenty mainland films released a year in previous years may be gone forever!

In such a period of industry change, Wu Yuan's heart was inevitably a little restless.

When he was in the car, he was thinking about what he promised Han Dong again.

In the second half of this year, a commercial film will definitely be made in China.

However, the commercial films he knows are different from the current mainstream view.

Now in the eyes of major film and television production companies, commercial films must be composed of big investment + big-name actors.

If a movie does not have a big investment and does not star in a superstar, it must not be considered a commercial film, and it will definitely not sell at the box office.

But Wu Yuan didn't see it that way.

In his eyes, a film company is not commercial, it mainly depends on the plot of the movie and the shooting techniques.

As long as the plot of the movie is refreshing and crisp enough, it can stimulate the audience's perception, or move the audience, there are tears and laughter.

Such a movie, even if the investment is not high and the actors are unknown, still have the potential to be a big hit.

Anyway, there are really not many movie actors known to the public, and whether the actor knows is definitely not the first element for the audience to watch movies now.

When "Titanic" was released, no mainland audience knew Xiao Lizi, and it did not prevent the film from breaking the mainland box office record.

It's just that Wu Yuan is still thinking about which movie to make.

Although the movies "Night Club", "Crazy Stone" and "People in Embarrassment" are masterpieces of low-cost counterattack, they are a little inappropriate for Wu Yuan to shoot now...

He is a best director in Berlin, and making this kind of cult movie is really a bit cheap, which will make the public's evaluation of him "decline".

"Nobody", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Chinese Partner", "Life Events" These movies have a good reputation at the box office, but they have limitations when they are filmed in this era.

Even if it's filmed, it feels like a waste, and it feels like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon...

Put the domestic movie that can be a big hit in the future and put it out in 03 04 for release, no matter how you think about it, it's a very bloody thing, and it's not too late to shoot it in a few years!

Otherwise...

Continue to engage in sinicization?

The road of sinicization is very promising!

It will not affect the original development of domestic films, but also can additionally expand the mainland film market and improve the competitiveness of mainland films.

I'm just a little sorry for these foreign friends...

So which movie from which country to choose?

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Wu Yuan dragged his chin with his hand and looked out the window, thinking while enjoying the speeding scenery.

For him, he is not forced to be qualified, but can also sell at the box office, and the first choice must be a romance movie!

Love is an eternal topic for human beings, and it is also an enduring film genre.

From classical operas and dramas to modern films and television dramas, the theme of love is inseparable.

Any director has definitely made a love movie in his directorial career, and even the three major European ones have never rejected the theme of love.

Wu Yuan went to make a love movie, but it was impossible to calculate the price, and it was well filmed and applauded.

Time passed quickly in his thoughts.

As soon as the theme of the next movie was decided, before I could figure out which one to shoot, the taxi had already arrived at the door of the film academy.

Wu Yuan had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts for the time being, paid the money and got out of the car, and rushed to the director building.

......

"Knock knock."

"Enter."

Xie Xiaojing, who was sitting in the office flipping through some information, saw that the person who walked in the door was Wu Yuan, and immediately smiled on her face.

"Coming back?"

Wu Yuan was not restrained at all, so he found a place to sit down, and did not forget to invite credit: "Teacher, I took a taxi directly after getting off the plane, and I didn't even go home." ”

"Okay, I know you're working hard." Xie Xiaojing shook her head and smiled: "It's not easy to shoot commercial blockbusters, right?" ”

"It's not easy." In front of the teacher, Wu Yuan naturally had something to say, and poured bitter water.

Even if Wu Yuan had experience in making special effects movies in his dreams, the first time he made a special effects blockbuster in Hollywood, it was really difficult to shoot in the first month.

In the various accidents of the crew, the discomfort of the actors and staff, Wu Yuan did not shy away from the teacher.

Of course, the most important thing is the shooting method of Hollywood's special effects blockbuster, the use of various studios and green screens, Wu Yuan disassembled and shared with the teacher in great detail.

In the past, because he had no experience in making special effects blockbusters in his life, even if he knew how to shoot special effects films, he couldn't tell his teachers and classmates.

It's different now, now he has the experience of filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", and some advanced special effects blockbuster shooting methods, Wu Yuan can fully share it with domestic directors.

Wu Yuan and Xie Xiaojing chatted for a long time around the shooting of American-style commercial special effects blockbusters.

chatted until mid-afternoon, when Xie Xiaojing stopped the topic and talked to Wu Yuan about business.

"Xiao Wu, your first year of doctorate is about to pass halfway."

After adding some water to the teapot, Xie Xiaojing asked with a smile: "You haven't prepared anything for the drama rehearsal, have you?" ”

"I asked you to rehearse the drama, not because I had nothing to do for you."

"Drama production is a complex and difficult job that requires a lot of time and effort, and the director has the greatest responsibility for it."

"A good drama director needs to have excellent communication and organizational skills."

"They need to coordinate the working relationship between all parties, balance the interests of all parties, and ensure that the work of the entire crew runs smoothly."

"More importantly, they need to communicate with the actors about their acting skills, emotional expression, and line interpretation, so as to help the actors better understand the characters and the plot, and show the best performance."

"And that's exactly where you need to learn and improve right now."

"But any top film director, whether domestic or foreign, is definitely very good at training actors."

"You are still very young, and in terms of film shooting, you are indeed very good, but in terms of actor training, you still need to learn a lot."

"Letting you rehearse a drama is to exercise your actor training ability!"

"If you want to be a top film director, you not only need to be able to act, but also teach actors how to act well!"
