Chapter 335: The Chen Family Talks
The movie "Wuji" can be said to be the pain of Chen Kaige's current life, which is even more painful than "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin".
Although the box office of "Wuji" was indeed very good back then, it did not return to its original cost, and the second word-of-mouth was sprayed again.
Over the years, Chen Kaige has been repeatedly whipped on the Internet, and when he is mentioned, fans always have to scold "Wuji".
To say that he doesn't have a pimple in his heart, that's impossible!
As for Chen Kaige's arrogant character, let alone how angry he is, he thinks about how to be ashamed every day.
It's just that he is indeed a little big about the theme of "magic".
Until now, he still thinks that his "Wuji" is very good, but the audience doesn't know how to appreciate it, and the aesthetic level of this audience is not good.
The problem is, he is such a director of "high-level expression", it is unrealistic for him to cater to the "low-level" audience, and he can't write a script that caters to this audience.
Now it's a coincidence, Wu Yuan is too good at writing scripts that the audience likes, and he is a professional in this regard.
Although Chen Kaige is arrogant, he is not unblind, he knows that Wu Yuan is very good at commercial films, and he is a director who can play literature and art, and he can play more business.
"Painted Skin 2?" Chen Kaige pondered for a moment and did not refuse.
He has a fairly ample schedule now, although the project "Zhao's Orphan" is already in sight, and the script and preliminary preparations are being made, but it is still early before the official project is established, and it will not be officially approved until at least half a year later.
It's still too late to change the plan.
However, it is impossible for him to agree just on Wu Yuan's empty words.
"Let's take a look at the script first." After thinking about it, Chen Kaige replied ambiguously.
Wu Yuan didn't expect to talk about it all at once, and nodded with a smile: "I'll have someone send the script later." ”
He believes that the script of the second part can impress Chen Kaige.
Although "Painted Skin" is a commercial film, its core is still quite deep.
Unlike 1, 2 is not only about love, but also about human nature.
The main purpose of "Painted Skin 2" is actually to throw a question to the audience.
"Is loving someone the inside or the outward?"
Princess Jing envied Xiao Wei for having a beautiful skin, and Xiao Wei envied that human beings could not eat people's hearts and not have to endure the extreme cold.
They both want to be each other, so a series of stories happen.
And in addition to love, this movie also throws out another topic.
After Princess Jing and Xiao Wei successfully changed their skins, they realized how good their original identities were.
After Xiao Wei became Princess Jing, she was kissed to the Heavenly Wolf Country, and subconsciously used her own magic in the face of humiliation, only to realize how powerless she was as a human being in the face of danger.
And after Princess Jing became Xiao Wei, after the initial joy, she found that her eyebrows were only temporary, in order to maintain her beautiful skin, she had to continue to devour people's hearts, and the world in her seriously seemed to have turned black and white, and the only color was the beating heart in the human chest.
Eventually, the story goes back to square one.
The heart that was eaten must be returned, and the heart that was exchanged is lost again, and the skin in exchange is uglier than the original.
This story tells the audience another truth.
"People are always envious of what others have, but they rarely find that what they have is also beautiful."
One person, one demon and two bodies swapped identities, bringing a thought-provoking story.
Wu Yuan personally thinks that "Painted Skin 2" is more in-depth than the first part, and it can be said that he has dug deep into the story of "Painted Skin".
Therefore, the box office and word-of-mouth after the release of "Painted Skin 2" are not much inferior to the first part.
It's a pity that this series has only made the second part, and if it maintains this reputation, it can continue to release a sequel, and I don't know if the actors didn't talk about it, or if the management made some trouble.
In this life, Wu Yuan didn't look for Zhao Junqi, and the biggest conflict between the two heroines should not happen again, so maybe the era of light and shadow can continue to do the third part after the second part.
But this will have to wait for the success of the second part before it is considered.
After talking about business, Wu Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, and chatted with Chen Kaige about the development of the film and television industry, chatted about some anecdotes in the circle, and stayed at Chen Kaige's house for lunch by the way.
It was also during the banquet that Wu Yuan felt what it meant to be an old-school literati.
It turned out that Chen Kaige's appearance in the variety show was really not pretending.
Although real life is not as exaggerated and fake as in the variety show recording, Chen Kaige's family does have a very strict family education.
The eldest of the two children is only in his early tens, and the younger is less than ten years old, and they are already very sensible when they eat, not only sitting in a very figurative posture, but also respecting their elders.
The food is harmonious, and the "food without words" is vividly expressed, and it is everyone's children at a glance.
This made Wu Yuan, who grew up in the Hutong Academy, look very novel.
He wondered if these two little ones had not experienced a naughty childhood?
He was even more curious, how did the children who were cultivated under such strict tutoring later play with the fans?
Could it be that it was because Chen Kaige suppressed their personalities when they were minors, which made Chen Feiyu immediately let himself go after he entered the circle and became independent?
While thinking wildly, Wu Yuan also learned Chen Kaige's manners and ate his meal quietly.
Don't say it's delicious.
At a glance, I knew that Chen Kaige's family had hired a powerful live-in cook.
No, no, no one thinks that Chen Hongneng is a beautiful chef.
"Ahem." After a while, Chen Kaige, who had eaten almost the same amount, stopped his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with the restaurant and looked at Wu Yuan, and said, "Director Wu, what do you think of my youngest son Feiyu?" ”
Why did you mention this?
Wu Yuan glanced at Chen Feiyu, who was eating quietly with his head down, and said with a smile: "The son trained by Director Kaige, of course, is very good, and he is the most well-behaved and well-cultivated child I have ever seen." ”
Hearing him praise his child, although he knew that it was a little polite, Chen Kaige still smiled.
"Haha, Director Wu praised it."
"That's right, don't look at Feiyu's age, but he already has his own dreams."
"He also wants to be an actor in the future and wants to enter the entertainment industry."
"You also know, those of us in the circle actually don't have a good opinion of this circle, and we don't want our children to enter this circle, but children have dreams, and as elders, we still have to support them."
"So I'm pulling down my old face and asking Director Wu for something."
"If your movie or your company has any projects in the future that need a child star actor of Rain's age, then I hope you can consider considering our Rainshower."
"Of course, in the right circumstances."
felt several expectant glances, whether it was Chen Kaige, Chen Hong, or Chen Feiyu's children who were immersed in eating, they all looked at it expectantly.
Wu Yuan thought for a moment, since he now has a request for others.
"No problem, if the company needs a young actor of this age, I will definitely choose Raindance first, I also like this child, sensible!"
Wu Yuan raised his head, and his smile was bright.
