Chapter 271: The First Formation: Wu Baige and Wu Yuan's Language Confrontation!

[Erwu is coming strongly! ] The strongest summer file in history! 】

[The strongest July file, "Red Cliff" and "Gravity" will be released together! ] 】

[The 2008 blockbuster month is confirmed, and the new work of the director of Haolaiwu will return to China, who can be better? ] 】

At the end of 2007, a big news quickly detonated the mainland entertainment industry.

Wu Yuan and Wu Baige's new films, super blockbusters with an investment of 300 million, are both scheduled to be released in July.

Although the two movies are still staggered by half a month, strictly speaking, they are not considered to be movies of the same period, but they were released together in the same month, which can be regarded as very exciting news.

"Red Cliff" is Wu Baige's first Chinese-language war blockbuster since "Broken Arrow" entered Haolaiwu in 1996, and returned to the Chinese market after 12 years!

And "Gravity" is the first sci-fi blockbuster in the mainland that is good for the level of docking, and it is also a new film launched by Wu Yuan after three years after "Painted Skin".

Both films are super blockbusters that have attracted a lot of attention, have deep backgrounds, and rare themes, and are unprecedented in the mainland film industry.

Even the producers are the same people.

Han Sanping is not only the producer of "Red Cliff", but also the co-producer of "Gravity" with Wu Yuan.

Han Sanping, who was promoted to chairman of China Film Group, brought two super bombs to everyone as soon as he took office, which rekindled enthusiasm for the Chinese blockbuster market, which was already cooling down.

Although there is still more than half a year before the release of these two movies, after the news of the finalization came out, countless eyes across the country have been focused on these two movies.

Without any tidbits or trailers being leaked, the plot and content of these two movies have become a hot topic among fans on the Internet.

"Red Cliff" knows just by looking at the title of the movie that it tells the story of the Battle of Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms.

Although Wu Baige has a lesson in making a war blockbuster into a movie about friendship on the battlefield and a very small family.

But the current Chinese audience still believes in Wu Baige.

After all, he has been in Hollywood for ten years, and before Wu Yuan was born, he was the most successful director who entered Hollywood from Hong Kong Island.

Most Chinese fans believe that the failure of "The Wind Whisperer" is due to the poor script, coupled with Wu Baige's ignorance of American-style war blockbusters and no relevant shooting experience, which led to the filming of this failed work, which is not his normal level.

This time, Wu Baige returned to China to shoot "Red Cliff", which tells the well-known story of the Three Kingdoms in China, and is one of the most well-known classical battles in China.

Well, Wu Baige himself thinks so, "Red Cliff" is what he wants to use to shame, kicking his name of "can't make war movies" into the garbage heap!

Wu Baige, who was also busy doing the later stage, rarely found time to accept interviews with some media reporters.

"I think that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially in the Battle of Chibi, it can best show the spirit of loyalty and righteousness in our Huaxia, for example, like Liu Bei, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, the friendship between them, and the righteousness are very strong in the play."

"In addition, in addition to this, this scene is also the one that can best show our Chinese wisdom."

"For example, there are several different battles in it, and in this kind of battle, I hope to use some Sun Tzu's art of war as much as possible, every formation, every formation, every killing formation, and every broken formation are filmed very realistically and exciting."

"In the words of the mainland, this movie is a war blockbuster with very grand scenes!"

"My biggest goal in making movies is how to bring the audience back to the cinema. If the audience only watches DVDs at home, the film industry will certainly not flourish. ”

"At present, only one or two directors' films in China can be sold internationally, and there is no international market for Hong Kong Island films."

"Someone told me that they wanted me to come back and make a Chinese-language film and reopen the Chinese-language film market."

"So I came back and brought this 'Red Cliff'."

"'Red Cliff' is very special, unlike all other war films, and I also added modern emotions to look at history."

"I hope that whether it is Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao, or Zhuge Liang in the play, I hope to retain more traditional beauty, but with a modern temperament, I hope that the audience and young people will have a sense of substitution after watching it."

"Substitute for the high-spirited Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, from the perspective of the independent and beautiful Xiao Qiao, to look at that turbulent special era."

"Why didn't Chow Yunfa act?"

"He asked for five million dollars, and he put forward more than 100 conditions, and I can't give this money, it's as simple as that."

In this interview, Wu Baige responded a lot, and in the interview, he also talked about his liking and appreciation of Chinese culture, saying that he had always dreamed of making a pure Chinese cultural style movie.

I want to make a movie that can show the wisdom of Chinese people, the personality of Chinese people, the culture of Chinese people, and the spirit of Chinese people.

It's just the right meal, not chilling.

This kind of talk can only deceive mainland audiences who still receive relatively little information.

If Wu Baige really likes Chinese culture and wants to make movies that reflect Chinese culture, then he will not make Chinese films again after successfully entering Haolaiwu in 96, until he can't mix in Haolaiwu, and then he remembers the banner of "Chinese culture".

Besides, when he used to make movies on Hong Kong Island, he didn't remember that there were great rivers and mountains in China, and the movie didn't reflect any Chinese spirit and Chinese style.

Whether it is "The True Color of Heroes" or "Across the Seas", they are all typical Hong Kong Island shootout films!

It can only be said that Wu Baige can only lick his face and say some shameless things in order to eat this bowl of rice in the mainland.

Hey, the current Chinese audience is just like this, the contemporary Chinese who are extremely lacking in national self-confidence really need some remarks that praise and praise Chinese culture, especially from the mouth of this kind of "returnee", it is even more refreshing.

It's like eating a bite of chilled watermelon on an August day, refreshing from head to toe!

I don't know how many viewers and netizens, after seeing this interview report, they made up their minds to go to the cinema to watch this "Red Cliff" and appreciate the classical world of China under the lens of international directors, with its beautiful rivers and mountains.

If you ask them to spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie made by an ordinary domestic director, then they are absolutely unwilling and feel panicked.

But if you let them spend money to watch a Chinese film made by a "returnee director", it will be worth it, after all, this is a director who has been gilded overseas.

Of course, in this interview, Wu Baige also mentioned another director who has also been gilded overseas.

"Another Director Wu?"

"I know him, he's very young, and the movie is very good, and he is also famous in Hollywood."

"His "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a very powerful fantasy blockbuster, and I have seen it."

"This time he dared to try the science fiction theme, and he was really very courageous, so many big directors in Laiwu didn't dare to make science fiction films."

"Competition? I don't think there's any competition between us. ”

""Gravity" is a science fiction movie, "Red Cliff" is a costume war film, and the release time is half a month apart, so there is no competition at all."

"I wish him well and hope that his films will do well as well."

See, there is a lot of level to say.

When I first heard it, it seemed to be a group of harmony, and I also touted Wu Yuan a few words, which gave me a feeling of being a happy family for Chinese directors.

But after a closer look, I found that it was full of pits.

mentioned that Wu Yuan was very young, it was nothing more than putting on the spectrum of his seniors, and at the same time implying that young people were inexperienced and not old-fashioned.

He praised "Pirates of the Caribbean" as a very powerful fantasy blockbuster, which means nothing more than implying that Wu Yuan has only proven himself in the field of fantasy films, and it is not necessarily the level of other films.

He also said that his attempt to make a science fiction movie was a very courageous act, and many big directors who came to the dock couldn't play it, and he was secretly rubbing his way to death.

In the end, he also wished Gravity a good result as well.

The word "also" is very ingenious, only if "Red Cliff" is successful, can the word "also" be used to bless "Gravity".

The charm of language can be regarded as being pinched by Wu Baige.

Journalists, especially entertainment notes, have always been watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal.

Of course, the ghost reporters heard the deep meaning of Wu Baige's words at the first time, but they pretended not to understand and posted the video and manuscript on the Internet word for word.

Moreover, they also took the video of this interview and found Wu Yuan, who was filming "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" in Yanjiao.

Heavy snow days can't hide the fire in their hearts.

The cordons drawn by the crew and the patrolling security guards could not stop the enthusiasm of these reporters.

In order not to affect the normal filming of the crew and let these reporters stop being blocked outside the set all the time, Wu Yuan, who didn't want to accept any interviews, had to take a break at noon and accept a brief interview.

Wu Yuan is not the kind of character who is submissive, plus he is already young, and there is nothing to be criticized for saying something crazy.

After seeing the interview video of Wu Baige's words, Wu Yuan was also a little annoyed, and fired on the spot: ""Gravity" is the first sci-fi blockbuster in China, and I am very confident in this movie. ”

"I know that we have never had such a sci-fi blockbuster in the mainland."

"But Hollywood's science fiction movies have already formed a complete system."

"I have studied in Hollywood for a long time, and I have cooperated with many large companies in Hollywood, and I have a good understanding of this science fiction film industry system, and I believe that I can bring a science fiction movie that is not lost to Hollywood for Chinese audiences."

"After all, my development in Hollywood is not bad, and I also have a global box office of two or three billion US dollars, and there is no shortage of contacts and resources."

"Directors like Spielberg and Cameron who have made great achievements in science fiction films, I have consulted them privately."

"In China, there should be no one who knows better about Hollywood than me!"

"If I can't do it, there shouldn't be any other director in China who can make a good science fiction film."

The corners of Wu Yuan's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at the reporters with a smile.

He didn't mention Wu Baige a word, but every sentence was deeply piercing Wu Baige's heart.

Being rushed back from Haolaiwu was the most painful thing in Wu Baige's heart.

In front of Wu Yuan, he put the score of the great director and the great senior?

This is the shell lang turning on the light in the toilet - looking for!

Starting tomorrow, three more weeks will give you an update.
