"Oops, it's okay."

"Originally, this is a plan to support young directors, not to make money."

"The success of "Whose Youth Is Not Confused" is an abnormal situation."

"You see Liu Dehua's Asian rising star director, and he has also invested in six movies, isn't there a splash in "Crazy Stone"?"

"Han Yan's situation is normal, don't put too much pressure on him."

"Newcomers, the first movie is all about trial and error."

"Now that we are in the era of light and shadow, the media will write around whenever there is something, and it is normal to gloat."

"Don't worry too much about that."

Wu Yuan received a call from Li Xiaoping during the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3".

On the phone, she reported to Wu Yuan about some recent events in China.

The main thing is that Han Yan's new movie was released, and the box office performance was very poor, and it was reported by very multimedia.

There are those who mock, there are those who laugh, and there are those who gloat.

Although the media does pursue Wu Yuan and this international first-line director, it does not mean that the media will be full of good things when writing manuscripts in the era of light and shadow.

Zhang Yimou is so good, the film "Hero" became the hope of Chinese directors back then, with a box office of 250 million, but the media should still scold it.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" can be chased by many entertainment media.

Wu Yuan's era of light and shadow was naturally not spared, and it was also focused on by the uncrowned king.

The achievements before the era of light and shadow are too conspicuous.

From "The Undertaker" to "Stealing Hearts", "If Love" to "Your Name" and "Painted Skin......

and "Whose Youth Is Not Confused", which was released last year.

Although there are not many movies produced, every movie has paid off, and even a few have made a lot of money.

The rate of return on this production is not ordinarily high.

Most film studios in the industry are envious to tears.

I don't know how many laymen, after seeing that the era of light and shadow is so profitable, they resolutely took a lot of money and invested it in the mainland film market.

Since 2004, various mainland film production companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, wanting to get a piece of the pie in this emerging market, which has greatly promoted the development of the mainland film market.

However, most of them are the king's forerunners, although they have produced many movies and enriched the viewing choices of mainland fans, but the box office performance is very average, and losses are even more common.

Nowadays, mainland movie fans, the first choice for watching movies is to buy pirated discs, only movies made by really famous directors + superstars, they feel that it is worth going to the cinema to watch it, and they are willing to spend money to watch it in the cinema.

This has led to the box office of blockbusters on the top level getting higher and higher, and it has gradually become not a rare thing for the box office to break 100 million (regardless of whether it can return to its original cost if it breaks 100 million).

But the box office of movies at the top is off a cliff.

It is getting easier and easier for blockbusters to break 100 million, or close to more than 100 million, but the box office of the second tier below has suddenly fallen below 50 million, and 95% of the domestic film box office is struggling below 50 million.

Even 50 million is rare, and most of them only have 20 or 30 million box office.

At the level of 50 million to 80 million, there are hardly many.

Most of the new capital has lost money in film production, and has been fooled by producers, invested in high costs, and returned to low income, and a batch of film companies that have only been established for two years have closed down.

I don't know how many bosses hate the era of light and shadow, it was the big sales of the film department in the era of light and shadow that gave them the illusion, thinking that this market was very profitable, but they entered in a hurry and lost all their money.

Now that the era of light and shadow has finally come out with a loss-making movie, it must not be ridiculed by all kinds of hype.

This can also calm their jealousy a little.

Even if it's as big as the age of light and shadow, not every movie can make money!

In this regard, Wu Yuan did not react much, and he would not put pressure on Han Yan and other supporting directors who were not released because of the ridicule of some newspapers and so-called "industry insiders".

Since he decided to do this young director support program, he never expected to make money, and the 30 million yuan was purely smashed out to train young directors for mainland films.

He was very calm from the beginning.

On the contrary, Li Xiaoping was a little breathless, and asked Wu Yuan to comfort her in turn.

After reassuring her and asking her not to put pressure on other directors, Wu Yuan hung up the phone and returned his attention to the set.

The crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has returned to Los Angeles.

I've been filming in the studio for the past few days.

Although it is said to be a studio, this studio is very large, with a height of 10 meters and a length and width of several hundred meters, and the "Black Pearl" can be directly dragged into the studio for shooting.

The scene filmed in the past few days is the scene where Howling Wind takes people down the Black Pearl and arrests Captain Jack and hands it over to Lord Beckett.

There is also a scene where Howling Wind is attacked on a ship and dies.

In short, the scenes on the boat of Howling Wind have been concentrated, and they are planned to be filmed at one time.

Cheng Long, the leading actor, naturally joined the group for intense shooting.

is different from Zhou Runfu's version of Howling Wind, Cheng Long's version of Howling Wind's image can be said to have been greatly changed.

After all, he doesn't look like Zhou Runfu.

In terms of dressing, Cheng Long wore a tattered Ming-style armor.

This is a set of golden ring arm armor, originally the Chinese historical consultant of the crew, it was recommended to wear cloth face armor, cloth face armor was very common in the Ming Dynasty army, and the scale of use was very large.

It's just that Wu Yuan takes into account that the background of the story is in Singapore, although in the character setting of Xiaofeng, he is a pirate who was born as a defeated Ming Dynasty general, but in the tropical and subtropical regions, it is too hot to wear cloth face armor.

Only then did it change to a set of ring arm armor that existed in history, but did not have much equipment.

This kind of ring arm armor looks very good, which is in line with the appearance of ancient generals in the impression of most Chinese people.

In addition to this set of armor, he also wore a Ming Dynasty flying saucer hat, which immediately made his image a lot uglier.

The official name of the UFO hat is "big hat", and its appearance is similar to the helmet of the Mongolian army, and it can be said that it is very widely used in the Ming Dynasty army.

Considering how hot the sun is at sea, just as most pirates in the Caribbean wear hats to protect themselves from the sun, Howling Wind must also have a hat.

He is not bald, Wu Yuan doesn't like the bald shape of Xiaofeng in the movie very much, although it looks more fierce, but it is indeed a little too ugly.

Cheng Long is the image of the bundle of hair this time.

The general of the Ming Dynasty, the parents of the body hair and skin, of course, have to tie their hair, that kind of money rat tail hairstyle Wu Yuan is absolutely not used, it is a little ugly.

But in order to conform to the vicious and warlike background of the pirates, Cheng Long still had a lot of scars on his face, especially a scar extending from his left eye through his nose all the way to his right cheek, which looked very hideous and terrifying.

The only thing that dissatisfied Wu Yuan was that Cheng Long was still a little shorter, he didn't look tall and burly at all, and his momentum could only be supported by the armor on his body.

Fortunately, he is famous enough in Hollywood, and he has left a deep impression on the audience.

As long as they see his face, the first thing that fans think of is that he is very good at fighting, and it is okay to play a pirate.

At least you don't need to be like Chow Runfu, because he is not well-known in the world, he can only rely on ugly makeup to increase the sense of substitution of the character.

When the audience sees that his bald head is full of scars, and he glares fiercely at every turn, this can have the impression of "fierce pirates" and "king of pirates of the Caribbean".

Of course, Cheng Long also needs this.

As we all know, Cheng Long's literary drama is really ordinary.

Wu Yuan was on the set, and he had to teach him how to play a "fierce pirate".

What gave him the most headache was that Cheng Long had a scene where he quarreled with Kayla, and the most important thing in this scene was Howling Wind, not the vase of Elizabeth Swan.

Although he doesn't like Zhou Runfu very much, Wu Yuan also has to admit that Zhou Runfu's acting skills are much better than Cheng Long.

The kind of ruthless and scheming character of the pirate king, Zhou Runfu is handy in acting, but Cheng Long is struggling to act.

In a studio set up as a pirate ship's cabin, the light is dim and yellow.

Kayla, dressed in Southeast Asian, Singaporean-style clothing to be exact, stood in the middle of the cabin.

And Cheng Long, who was wearing a Ming-style lining, washed his hands on the side and took out a betel nut leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You admit it."

"Admitted what?"

"Goddess of the Sea."

Kayla's expression was quite in place, confused and puzzled, and she couldn't understand what Howling Wind meant.

But Cheng Long's expression was almost meaningless.

The kind of deep and intriguing feeling of a person full of intrigue and intrigues, Cheng Long can't play it at all.

Wu Yuan sighed, "Click! ”

"Jackie, look, pay attention to your eyes!"

"What kind of person is Howling Wind, he is not just a simple pirate king, he is different from ordinary pirates."

"He used to mix in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, he was a general who experienced the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty, he was good at playing tricks, and he was full of intrigues and bad water."

"If he wasn't smart enough to play conspiracy, he wouldn't be alive now, let alone become the pirate king of Singapore."

"So your eyes have to be more ruthless, have you ever seen a snake?"

"It's like the eyes of a snake, which makes people feel chilled at a glance, and they don't dare to look at it at all."

"You should read more of this character's biography and experience the characteristics of this character."

Perhaps feeling that he was a little hollow when he said this, Wu Yuan simply gave an example: "It's like the villain played by Mads Mikkelsen in "Rush Hour 3". ”

"Although he looks polite, the piercing coldness of his eyes is intimidating, and he can see at a glance that this person is absolutely very bad, full of bad water."

Cheng Long wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, it was indeed a little stuffy in the studio, but his sweat was more because of his insufficient acting skills and too much pressure.

It is really difficult to shoot literary dramas with Wu Yuan, who can take the three major directors in Europe.

Even if "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is a commercial film, Wu Yuan also holds high standards for him.

This feels completely different from making a movie like "Rush Hour 3" in his comfort zone!
