"Bang Bang ......"

Warm but not fierce applause rang out in the small screening room.

Dozens of friends of Wu Yuan, Liu Yifei and others who were invited to watch the premiere of "Love Letter", as well as internal artists and middle and high-level executives in the light and shadow era, all gave enthusiastic applause after the movie ended.

Regardless of what they think of this movie, at least on this occasion, everyone is full of praise.

Wu Yuan, who was sitting in the middle, was not confused by this obviously highly praised atmosphere, he knew in his heart that the movie "Love Letter" could only be regarded as a passing line, which was considered good, but there was still a gap between the excellent and excellent love films.

Compared with "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", a literary film that can win awards and has good depth and emotional release, the gap is not small.

But compared with ordinary romance films, it is much better, especially under the grasp of Wu Yuan's mature lens, it is a little better than the young "Your Name".

There is no hope for awards or anything, but the box office results should not be very bad.

Perhaps for him, an international director who has won hundreds of millions or billions of dollars at the box office, there is nothing worth mentioning.

But considering that this is Wu Yuan's first "original" film in the true sense, he is already very satisfied with it.

I think that at the beginning, when he was in his dream, it was not until 2023 that he really climbed to the position of chief director and scraped together funds to shoot his own original movie, and now it is very good to be able to realize this dream more than ten years in advance.

"Thank you, thank you."

Wu Yuan stood up and turned around, bowing to everyone constantly, with a bright smile on his face.

Liu Yifei, who was sitting next to him, smiled very happily, not because the filming of this movie challenged her acting skills, but mainly because this movie was played by Wu Yuan and her.

can star in a love movie with Wu Yuan, no matter what the content is, Liu Yifei feels very happy.

is even happier than after she got the Golden Horse Movie.

"Two souls who are hopelessly romantic, love classical and passionate, and the tombstone must also be engraved with the unforgettable love words just for him to see, the scene of meeting on the stairs in the next world is really beautiful." Chen Kun commented with a smile.

He likes to watch some romance movies in private, and he likes this "Love Letter" quite a lot, but he doesn't deliberately advocate it.

Zhou Xun also smiled and nodded: "The middle and the end are still quite wonderful, the picture, music, and the background of the times set off the story better, especially those two songs, I will remember them completely after listening to them once." ”

"It's a little sad from God's point of view, although the hero and heroine of the ending are reunited again, but everyone knows that the heroine Wei Lai met last is no longer Jiang Lan, and the real Jiang Lan has been lying quietly in the cemetery to sleep."

"This should be the first time Director Wu has filmed a tragic ending, although it seems to be a reunion."

"Compared with this "Love Letter", the male protagonist in "Your Name" reunites at least the heroine three years later, or the original person."

"But it's more romantic, isn't it?" Chen Kun interrupted Zhou Xun's emotion.

"Hey." Zhou Xun smiled, "You are a big man, how can you be more emotional than a woman like me?" ”

Chen Kun shrugged his shoulders and did not answer.

Neither of them came to Wu Yuan's side to share their feelings with him, mainly because Wu Yuan was surrounded by a group of people now.

"You really like to play with the subject matter of time and space." Jiang Wen frowned, stretched out his hand to put his arm on Wu Yuan's shoulder, and said, "To be honest, this kind of chick movie is really boring." ”

"When will it be cool to make a whole movie like "Gravity"!"

Without waiting for Wu Yuan to reply, Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "Romance movies are very good, don't look at this theme and it looks ordinary, but good romance movies in China are really rare." ”

"Most of them are old movies from the eighties and nineties, or from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and after the millennium in the mainland, good romance movies are really rare."

"The plot, the structure, the main idea, in general, are very good, very thoughtful, and do not fall into clichés." Chen Kaige agreed, but Chen Kaige would never just say good things.

"However, this kind of theme is still too difficult to shine, although there are no romance films with this theme in the mainland, there are still many foreign countries."

""Seventy Years Back in Time", "Untouchable Lovers", and the Japanese version of "Love Letter" are all movies with this theme."

"Director Wu, your inspiration came from "Untouchable Lovers", right?"

"Untouchable Lovers" is a Korean movie in 2000, and Jun Ji-hyun became completely famous in South Korea by relying on this movie.

This movie is about the heroes and heroines who live in the same house at two times, and communicate with each other through a mysterious mailbox.

The actor moved into a new apartment in 1997, but received a letter from the next occupant in 1999, and the two kept talking to each other through the letter.

"Yes, it's true that these two films inspired me." Wu Yuan was not embarrassed, and he had to admit it.

His "Love Letter" is indeed inspired by these two films, and there is nothing bad about admitting it.

However, he only borrowed the idea that this letter can be connected through time and space, and the specific story is completely original by himself.

It's not a shameful thing, and many directors often borrow the setting of some excellent predecessors in their films.

Or rather, tribute.

Just like Wu Yuan's "Your Name" after the fire, there were many ideas throughout Asia that borrowed this kind of body swapping, and many romance films from various countries were made.

There is even a domestic director who dares to think that he wants to make a historical magic masterpiece, the general content of which is that Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty exchanged souls with Constantine XI, the last emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, before hanging himself on the coal mountain.

Both were the last emperors and lived in the same century, and two people who could not have any intersection had an intersection.

The two monarchs, who also wanted to save their old empire, but were unable to return to the sky, sympathized with each other and saved each other's lives.

Well, that sounds outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that this script was also cast on the side of the Light and Shadow Era, and the director took the script and wanted to attract investment and shoot this epic historical magic masterpiece.

He believes that if this film can be made, it will definitely go international, after all, the Roman Empire is very influential in the world, and Constantine XI, the last emperor, is even more famous.

It's a pity that this project was ruthlessly killed by Li Xiaoping, she felt that such a theme would be too distorted of history and would not be successful.

Now, this director who does not take the usual path is still soliciting investment everywhere and wants to make this movie.

Ahem, the topic is far away.

In short, after watching this movie, although several directors didn't think it was amazing, they also recognized it.

After they talked a lot about their feelings around Wu Yuan, they said goodbye and left.

"Director Wu, it's going to be released this Friday, right?"

Before leaving, Feng Xiaogang, who was the most "down-to-earth", said quite magnificently: "I will charter the venue to support it then!" ”

"At least seven games in a row!" (End of chapter)
