"The shooting is very good, and it has the characteristics of a senior brother."

"To be honest, the way you use this long lens is completely different from mine, I really can't comment on anything, this is your characteristic."

"However, I can see that you want to open up a new field, and this short film is an attempt to open up a new field."

A 17-minute short film that can be watched in the blink of an eye.

Facing Jia Zhangke's expectant gaze, Wu Yuan, of course, could only say something good.

To be honest, he really didn't like the use of this kind of long shots full of information.

It's too tiring for moviegoers to watch.

However, it is a great visual feast for professionals in the film industry.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Jia Zhangke's films continue to win awards at film festivals, but the public response after the release is very average.

The works he made are too profound, too high and low, and naturally not suitable for ordinary fans, they are all for knowledgeable insiders.

Wu Yuan doesn't like this, most of the movies he makes, even if they are literary films, are considered to be understood and empathized with by ordinary audiences, and he takes the initiative to cater to the audience.

Instead of being like Jia Zhangke, he doesn't think about whether the audience can understand it, but only considers his own artistic expression.

"Obuchi, it's actually good to make short films, it's a good way to try something new."

Jia Zhangke didn't think about it so much, but talked to Wu Yuan with great interest.

"Do you know how long it took me to make this short film?"

He held up three fingers: "Three days, I'll shoot it for three days and it's done." ”

"The Film Bureau was also very supportive, and when "Love on the River" was sent to the Film Bureau, it was submitted for review and approval in only one week."

"If you want to try something new, you can do it in the form of a short film, which is convenient and cost-effective, and you can also win a wave of awards at international film festivals."

"Although the short film award is useless, it looks good in the award cabinet!"

"We originally planned five short films, I shot Suzhou, Han Jie shot Modu, Chen Tao shot Xi'an, Peng Tao shot Chongqing, and Li Hongqi shot Guangzhou."

"Do you want to join us, you also come to the whole short film, you can shoot the capital!"

Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Next time, next time, next time." ”

He didn't have that skill.

He is different from Jia Zhangke, the film festival really loves Jia Zhangke.

Three days after its premiere in Venice, "Love on the River" was shortlisted for the New York, London, Vancouver, Tokyo Ginza, and São Paulo film festivals.

Among them, the New York Film Festival has opened a channel for "Love on the River" and invited it to be shortlisted when the shortlist has been announced.

"I hope to have more opportunities to cooperate with Director Jia in the future, and I am also grateful to the director for fulfilling his wish to go to the Venice Film Festival."

Look, Guo Xiaodong, the actor who thanked him on the stage, was quite amazed that Chief Jia could take him to Venice with a short film.

The heroine Hao Lei also said bluntly: "Being shortlisted is the influence of the director, and our role is not particularly large." ”

Wu Yuan applauded with a smile: "Senior brother, look, even your actors know that the shortlisting of this short film depends on your ranking." ”

Jia Zhangke smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, that is, there is no way, the public doesn't buy my movie, so I can only take the film festival route, and I was forced out." ”

That being said, but looking at Jia Zhangke's proud and proud look, it doesn't look like he is dissatisfied with the status quo.

After cheering Jia Zhangke, Wu Yuan, under the call of "Unite Comrades" led by the Huaxia Legion, also did not miss the premieres of the two Chinese films "Swinging Kou" and "Woman".

However, compared with Jia Zhangke's "Love on the River", these two movies are more obscure and difficult to understand, and they are somewhat pretended.

Anyway, after watching it, Wu Yuan felt that he didn't understand these two movies.

You say that he doesn't appreciate it enough, he understands Jia Zhangke's movies, there is no reason why he can't understand the works of these two unknown directors?

It can only be said that Jia Zhangke can eat well at various international film festivals around the world, and he still has hard power.

Compared with these literary films, Wu Yuan is still more satisfied with the premiere of "Bomb Disposal Unit" in Venice on the 5th.

As one of Hollywood's great directors, he took Liu Yifei and was invited by director Catherine Bigelow to participate in the premiere of Hollywood's blockbuster "Bomb Disposal Unit" in Venice.

The film won't be released in North America until July next year, but it's a year ahead of schedule in Venice for filmmakers from all walks of life.

Obviously, the director has great ambitions, not only to win the Oscars, but also to win awards in Venice.

"Bomb Disposal Unit" was indeed shortlisted for the main competition unit in Venice.

It's just that Wu Yuan, who has later memories, knows that if nothing else, this movie will be in Venice.

No way, "Bomb Disposal Unit" is a very typical Hollywood hero-style movie, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a commercial film.

Classic American GI saves the world plot, classic thrilling rescue.

It's just that this time, the old-fashioned hostage rescue has been changed to a slightly more novel bomb disposal crisis.

The whole film is full of American GIs who are righteous and want to save the world, while the local rebels are evil, a typical American image of reversing black and white.

The European film industry has always been reconciled and discordant, how can it be possible to award an award to such an American-style promotional film?

can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, it is all succumbing to the obscenity of Hollywood.

But whether it should be said or not, this movie is still very exciting to watch.

Wu Yuan watched it with relish, and Liu Yifei also enjoyed it.

After the premiere ended, she grabbed Wu Yuan's hand and didn't let go, "Senior brother, this kind of crisis rescue movie, it seems that no one in China has ever made it." ”

"Films like "Hurricane Rescue", "Mission Impossible" and "007" would be great if there were people in China to shoot them."

"There will be some similar police and gangster movies on Hong Kong Island, but there are almost no military involved."

Wu Yuan smiled but did not speak.

Does he want to tell his little girlfriend that in the near future, there will be a man named Wolf Warrior who will make his own personal hero-style blockbuster in Huaxia, and then be scolded by audiences who are used to watching American-style crisis rescue blockbusters?

American GIs traveled thousands of miles to rescue hostages, okay.

Huaxia retired special forces crossed thousands of miles to rescue hostages, no.

American-style personal heroism, the male protagonist is as powerful as Superman, okay.

Huaxia's personal heroism, the male protagonist is as powerful as a superman, no.

Wu Yuan didn't understand this logic, and he didn't agree with it even more.

However, I heard that the "Wolf Warrior" series was very short of money when it was filmed, and Wu Jing had to sell his house to make movies.

How can this work, our Director Wu can't get used to this kind of thing, and when "Wolf Warrior" 1 and 2 are to be filmed, the era of light and shadow will definitely help the scene.

Wu Jing still don't suffer from selling the house, let the light and shadow era come out with this money, and make this money with tears!
