Chapter 318: Daily, Go to Venice!
"Why did Qin Shi Huang of China become the three-headed dragon of the West!"
"That's."
"And that Ziyuan, she is just guarding an immortal pool, and the country and the country are going to be wiped out outside Huaxia, and she is still thinking about the things of two thousand years ago?"
"No wonder Rachel Weisz was dissatisfied with the script and refused to continue to play the role of Evelyn, and I won't play it if I change it!"
Walking out of the movie theater and listening to the complaints of the little girlfriend next to him, Wu Yuan sneered: "I just said that this is a bad movie." ”
"It's just a story of Haolaiwu with a layer of Chinese skin, or a simple adventure story that has been filmed."
"It's very foolish, making a Chinese gimmick in the hope of tricking global audiences into the cinema."
The two of them just finished watching "The Mummy 3" released in China, and to be honest, compared with the first two films, this one is terrible and scary.
Maybe it's because "The Mummy 3" tells the story of China this time, and it is no longer Egypt, which is mysterious and unknown to Chinese audiences.
Once the mystery and unknown in the adventure story are gone, just looking at the plot, then this kind of adventure movie can be said to be full of loopholes, pressing people's IQ to the ground and rubbing it.
Perhaps, when Egyptians watch the first two parts of "The Mummy", their mentality is similar to that of Chinese people watching "The Mummy 3".
When the scene of Qin Shi Huang turning into a three-headed demon dragon appeared on the big screen, Wu Yuan clearly heard the whispered insults of many viewers around him.
Qin Shi Huang is indeed an ancestral dragon, but he is a Chinese dragon, symbolizing a divine beast and the Son of Heaven, not an evil four-legged reptile like the West!
watched the first two episodes of the Egyptian mummy resurrection and the transformation into the Scorpion King, and everyone still watched it with relish, but this time I saw Qin Shi Huang's terracotta warriors and horses resurrected into a magic dragon, and I couldn't accept it.
"Universal's script should not be for the Chinese market." While taking his girlfriend home, Wu Yuan was still saying: "The reason why the background of the third part is placed in China is also because in the eyes of Westerners, Huaxia, like Egypt, is also a mysterious ancient country with a long history. ”
"Mysterious Orientals, in the eyes of Europeans, the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang is about the same as the mystery of the pyramids of Egypt."
"After making two previous works with Egyptian backgrounds in a row, Universal put the background in China, trying to rely on the mysterious Chinese color to set off another wave of mummy fever around the world."
In fact, it is.
The domestic box office of "The Mummy 3" can be more than 100 million yuan, which is already very good, and the results in the global market are even better, with a global box office of more than 400 million US dollars.
However, after the third installment, the potential of this series is almost at the end.
This is another series that can only be made into a trilogy, and the trilogy spell of Hollywood is still very good.
After briefly evaluating this movie, Wu Yuan left it behind.
Outside the cinema, he got into the nanny car of the assistant Xiao Zhang, and Wu Yuan chatted with Liu Yifei about another thing: "I heard that the crew of "Sword and Fairy III" invited you to make a cameo? ”
Just when the Light and Shadow Era was busy working on "The Inheritors" and "Let's Get Married", the sugar man who still had a cooperation agreement with the Light and Shadow Era was also working on their most important project of the year, "Fairy Sword III".
This TV series is the last cooperative drama in the contract between the Light and Shadow Era and the Sugar Man, and Wu Yuan has no chance to share the money in the subsequent "Step by Step".
However, he himself has no interest in this kind of Qing Palace whip play, even if he can get "Palace" out before the main one, he doesn't plan to do it.
To be honest, the money from the Qing palace drama, Wu Yuan felt that the money earned was hot.
What is the beauty of the shape of the money rat tail?
From "Step by Step" to "Palace" to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the Qing Palace braided drama swept the country, and once all costume films must shoot the trend of braided play, he was really unhappy to watch.
He didn't have a chance before, but now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely have to make a change.
For 5,000 years in China, there are so many dynasties, anyway, they are all filming costume idol dramas, which dynasty is not as fragrant as the Qing Dynasty?
Even the sugar man's "The Legend of the Female Doctor, Concubine Ming", which washed the Mingbao Sect, is better than the braided drama of the Qing Palace!
With his eyes on Liu Yifei, Wu Yuan sighed regretfully.
My girlfriend is still too young now.
Before he woke up from his dream, the last TV series he watched happened to be "Menghualu" starring Liu Yifei, not to mention the plot, the background of the Song Dynasty of this drama is still very good, and the prosperous Bianjing of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Qingming Shanghe Tu has a taste.
It's that Liu Yifei is still too young now, and he shouldn't be able to play the feeling he had when he filmed "Menghualu" later, so he has to wait.
didn't care about Wu Yuan's strange eyes, Liu Yifei said in a soothing tone: "Sugar Man wants me to make a cameo appearance as Nuwa, after all, I played the descendant of Nuwa in the first part." ”
"But I refused."
"I'm not stupid, I know that Sugar Man wants to hype up the news of my return to the "Sword and Fairy" series to gain attention for "Sword and Fairy III"."
"This time, "Sword and Fairy III" is still Hu Ge playing the leading role, and many netizens are calling on me on the Internet to return and continue to play a sequel with him."
"The ending of the first part is so miserable, and the audience is still uneasy, and I look forward to our cooperation again."
Speaking of this, Liu Yifei's mood also sank.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the most miserable ending she has ever filmed, except for the actor Li Xiaoyao, all the members died, and when it was first broadcast, the audience cried and was heartbroken.
"Hey, Hugo is a pity." Holding his chin with both hands, Liu Yifei said with emotion: "Five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Hu Ge is still playing the Sugar Man's Fairy Sword series, obviously he started so well, but now he is falling behind." ”
Wu Yuan was also a little helpless.
Hu Ge's start in this life can be called perfect, one "Your Name" is popular in Asia, and then another "Sword and Fairy III" earns national popularity.
To say that he has been limited by the role of "Li Xiaoyao" in his life is nonsense.
At least Lin Wenjie, the actor in "Your Name", has left a deep impression on fans throughout Asia, and his acting in modern dramas will not make the audience feel abrupt.
But who told him to be a candy man with little ability?
Cai Yinong said that she was backed by the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, but in fact, she just had a little bit of connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and she could only form a TV drama bureau if she tried her best.
Hu Ge stayed in Sugar Man because of Cai Yinong's kindness, so there was no way to get any high-level film and television resources from Sugar Man, even if the movie hero started, he could only mix in the TV drama circle.
It may be too much to say that the sugar man is lying on Hu Ge's body to suck blood, but Cai Yinong has indeed made a lot of money from Hu Ge in the past few years.
"I actually contacted Hu Ge before and invited him to come to the age of light and shadow." Wu Yuan spread his hands: "It's just that the sugar man's method of running the company into a big family can really win the hearts of artists." ”
"Hugo is a man with a heart and a sincere heart."
"Just because it was Cai Yinong who resolutely took him to audition when he heard about the casting of "Your Name", and arranged the actor of "Fairy Sword" for him before "Your Name" was released, which was pinched by Cai Yinong."
"I threw out an olive branch, although he was very moved, but he still refused."
"Of course, part of the reason is that Yuan Hong is also in our company, he and Yuan Hong's acting path is indeed similar, I am afraid that I will jump to the era of light and shadow, squeezing the resources of the old brothers."
"Hey, Hu Ge is still very good to be friends, just like Brother Xiao Ming."
"If there is a suitable role in the future, you can find him to play it."
Although Wu Yuan said so, he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to cooperate with Hu Ge in the era of light and shadow in the future.
There are so many artists in the company, Yuan Hong, Jia Nailiang, Zhu Yawen and others can be covered casually, how can there be any suitable roles flowing out.
After smashing his mouth a few times, Wu Yuan reached out and grabbed his girlfriend and said, "Okay, now I have finished watching "The Mummy 3". ”
"We can leave for Venice tomorrow, right?"
"The Venice Film Festival is about to officially open the day after tomorrow, Mark Muller is afraid that I will be absent, and the urging in the past two days is called a tight!"
The Venice Film Festival 2008 will be held from September 3rd to September 13th, 2008!
As early as August 18th, the organizing committee of the Venice Film Festival announced the list of films shortlisted for the main competition unit of Venice this year.
Among them, "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" directed by Wu Yuan is impressively listed.
As a director directly invited by Chairman Marc Muller, as long as Wu Yuan makes the film and sends it to Venice, then Venice will not be able to turn it away, even if the film level is very poor, at least it will be shortlisted for the main competition unit.
What's more, the level of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" is not bad at all, and it was unanimously recognized by all the audition judges during the audition stage.
It's just that when this news was announced, Huaxia was at the height of the Olympic Games, and it didn't attract much attention.
There is no way, all the Chinese people in August have no time to pay attention to everything except the Olympics.
However, after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, after everyone had the time to browse through the various big and small things that happened in the past half month, the news that Wu Yuan's new film was shortlisted for Venice was quickly turned out and hyped by the media.
"Director Wu is energetic, and as soon as the release of "Gravity" ended, the new film was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival!"
"After the Berlin International Film Festival and the Cannes International Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival, the last of the world's three major film festivals, also opened its arms to director Wu Yuan!"
"Shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival for the first time, will Director Wu be able to win the award?"
"Exclusive reveal of Wu Yuan's new film "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die", Li Xuejian and Wu Yuan cooperate again!"
After the end of the Olympic Games, the domestic media, which was half a beat slower to react, finally remembered the news of the Venice Film Festival shortlisted half a month ago.
Wu Yuan's name disappeared from the eyes of the national public for less than a month, and it occupied the front pages of major entertainment newspapers.
Under the continuous reports of these news media, Wu Yuan led the main creators of the crew of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" and took a flight to Venice.
Originally, this year was not a big year for the Venice Film Festival, because of Wu Yuan's shortlist, countless pairs of eyes from all over the world were attracted to this small city known as the pearl of the Adriatic Sea. (End of chapter)
