Huayu since 1980

Chapter 1015 Postscript: 7
End of February 2010!

Qiongdao, Sanya, Dynasty Hotel!

Wu Jianye, who is in his early 50s, looks like he is only in his forties at this time due to years of exercise and proper maintenance.

With short hair close to his scalp, he was wearing an open light-colored plaid shirt with a T-shirt inside, a pair of wide pants, and returned to the hotel in flip flops.

Next to her was a girl in a bohemian dress, who looked less than 30 years old, with a wide hat and a pair of sunglasses that could cover half of her face, looking a bit mysterious.

"Brother, Chen Chen graduated this year, right?" the girl asked.

"Well, I'll be graduating in a few months!" Wu Jianye nodded, and then said with a smile, "I watched your movie recently, it was good!"

The girl said proudly: "Of course, don't look at whose apprentice I am!"

Wu Jianye said helplessly, "I know I'm an apprentice, but I keep calling him big brother."

"Are you used to it?" the girl said coquettishly.

"By the way, will you be in an orphanage this year?" Wu Jianye asked suddenly.

The girl nodded and said, "I'm going back. The old dean's health is a bit unwell. I'll ask him to go abroad for a check-up. I won't say anything!"

The girl is none other than Xiaoqing from the orphanage. After finishing junior high school in the orphanage, Xiaoqing applied for the film school after high school. During the film school, she first took over the filming of the famous domestic director Wang Xiaoshuai, and became a She became the goddess of literary and artistic films in China, and later relied on Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu" as the dumb girl, which became popular all over Southeast Asia!
After graduating from university, she won the Best Actress Award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards and the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her movie "Fantasy".

Became the leading goddess of literary and artistic films in China, and then began to transform, shooting commercial films, first participated in Hollywood's A-level production "National Treasure", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" became a global box office actress, and then returned to China to take over the production of Guan Fu The movie "Nu Wa" was released last year in the summer, and it immediately ruled the entire summer!

Now judged by the media, China's most successful female movie star in the first decade of the 21st century!
Wu Jianye heard that the old dean was not in good health, so he quickly asked, "Is it serious?"

Xiaoqing explained: "There is no major problem, it is the root cause of the disease that fell in the past. Now that I am older, all kinds of problems have come out!"

Only then did Wu Jianye feel relieved, and said, "When the conference is over, I'll go over with you to have a look!"

Xiaoqing smiled and nodded.

The two came to the lobby of the hotel, Wu Jianye received a call from Feng Trousers, separated from Xiao Qing, and went to the hotel's coffee shop, where Wu Jianye saw Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Trousers, Guan Hu , Wang Xiaoshuai, Ding Sheng and others are all top domestic directors chatting together!

Everyone smiled after seeing Wu Jianye.

"I was talking about you just now!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

Feng pants said with a smile: "What can I say, when you said you were taking a break, everyone thought you were just taking a break for a year or two. I didn't expect that it has been more than ten years, and you still haven't come back!"

Chen Kaige said: "That's right, look at the domestic discussion about directors, who still mentions you!"

There are talents from generation to generation, not to mention the entertainment industry, which changes very quickly.

Even though Wu Jianye achieved such high achievements in the 90s and [-]s, when people discuss domestic directors on the Internet, few people mention Wu Jianye.

At this time, Wu Jianye has actually become the memory of some people, but that's all!

Some time ago, an activity was launched on the Internet, asking everyone if they knew who Wu Jianye was.

Many people choose not to know
Wu Jianye laughed, and said nonchalantly, "If you don't mention it, don't mention it. Do I care about this?"

Everyone was helpless, as Wu Jianye said, they knew that Wu Jianye really didn't care about these things.

Wu Jianye looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't talk about me, but you guys, it seems that the past few years have not been very good!"

Wu Jianye's words hit the hearts of these people, and they instantly became embarrassed, especially Zhang Yimou.

When old friends meet, they naturally run on each other and show no mercy. Wu Jianye said to Zhang Yimou: "Old Mouzi, I have to say, you are really good. I watched this year's movie "Three Guns Surprise". , I have to give you a thumbs up!"

The appearance of Wu Jianye made everything different, and "Three Guns" came out ahead of schedule!
Zhang Yimou's face was already dark, but now that Wu Jianye said it, it turned black and red. If someone else said that, Zhang Yimou would definitely not take it seriously, but now his old friend complained, his The heart is naturally different!

"Old Mouzi, I have to say, "Three Guns" is really good!" Chen Kaige said also to add insult to injury.

Wu Jianye glanced at Chen Kaige, and said with a smile, "How dare you talk about him?"

"It's a good thing that Lao Mouzi directed the Yanjing Olympics last year. What about you, what have you been filming in the past few years? Except "Mei X Fang", which is a bit of a shadow of "Farewell My Concubine", what about the others? , two years ago, I went to court with someone because of a short video."

Chen Kaige's complexion is also not good-looking!
"Then can you blame me? Even if you ask me about the movie "The Promise" now, I think that movie is well made. It's because everyone doesn't know how to appreciate it!" Chen Kaige said stubbornly.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "To be honest, I also think that movie is good, but it's a pity, you are too eager for quick success. It's a good story, and you filmed a murder case caused by steamed buns!"

Chen Kaige accompanied Zhang Yimou and looked at Wu Jianye resentfully.

Seeing Wu Jianye looking at him, Feng Trousers quickly reviewed himself and said, "Yes, I have a problem too!"

Wu Jianye: "."

Finally, Wu Jianye patted Feng Pants on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, I really didn't expect to say anything about you!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

After laughing, Feng Pants looked filled with righteous indignation again.

"These new-generation actors are really getting more and more outrageous. No one came to the film director seminar jointly initiated by us directors. They all said that they have something to do, and they don't know what they are busy with!"

This kind of seminar has actually been held for nine years, and this year is the tenth. The directors hope that practitioners in the circle can participate, and discuss the future development of the domestic film industry by the way.

Wu Jianye didn't want to participate at first, but he couldn't hold back a few people calling him in turn, so he also came to Qiongdao in the end.

At this time, Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I told you a long time ago, but you didn't listen!"

When Feng Trousers told him about this, Wu Jianye told them that even if they invited those actors, not many people would come.

It's just that they think that as the top directors in the country, they can't do it anyway, and the result is that Wu Jianye hit the nail on the head!
Really, no one came over. What the actors value now is not the director, but the capital. As long as the capital supports themselves, no matter how unwilling the director is, they have to pinch their noses and use themselves. Naturally, they each find a reason to refuse.

Chen Kaige said: "Old Wu, are you not angry at all?"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Why should I be angry? It's not my invitation. If they don't come, they won't give you people face. It's not me!"

Guan Hu complained from the side: "Director Wu, what you said is a bit heartbreaking!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Guan Hu, and said, "You should suffer from the pricking of your heart!"

Guan Fu said helplessly, "Understood!"

Feng Trousers said: "The current situation in the industry is really different from before. We used to choose actors ourselves. Now it's fine. The film company directly gives a project, regardless of whether the actor is suitable or not. Anyway, as long as we can bring Come to invest, just stuff it into the crew, you can't use it."

Wang Tao, who was sitting on the side, suddenly said: "The key is that this group of people came here, and they didn't act well for you. Some people didn't even know what they were going to play before the filming started!"

Ding Sheng laughed: "I thought I was the only one who encountered such a situation, so you have all encountered it."

Wu Jianye glanced at them and said with a smile, "Why do I feel like you guys are going to hold a rant again!"

Feng Trousers said: "Mr. Wu, you haven't come out these years. I don't know the current situation. The current actors are really hard to describe. The high salaries are scary, but the acting skills are really touching. Already!"

Wu Jianye said: "You don't have to use them, and no one is forcing you to use them with a knife!"

"You think we're all the same as you. We all seem to be the most powerful directors in the country. In fact, we have a lot of helplessness for our own films." Zhang Yimou said with deep emotion.

"Take the "Three Shots" you mentioned earlier. In fact, this movie is not what I want to make at all, and the actors are not what I want to use, but what can I do?"

"Weiping said that the company is in trouble, and Little Fengtian and the others are famous, they can drive the box office, and the investment is still small, so I will take it as repaying his favor!"

The situation of other people is actually similar, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Understood, then you will do it, and the money will be earned by others. I told you not to sell your shares at the beginning. You must not listen!"

At first, Zhang Yimou followed Wu Jianye’s suggestion and held 10% of the shares in New Screen, but later Zhang Weiping said that the company had difficulties and needed to sell the shares, and Zhang Yimou sold his own shares generously.
When making movies, Zhang Yimou is top-notch. Do you do business?
It's not too much to give him a cool song.
Zhang Yimou smiled, but didn't say anything.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "I still say the same thing, if you are unhappy in your own company, you can still return to Tangting Culture, the door of Tangting Culture is always open to you!"

When everyone heard it, their eyes lit up.

At first they left Tangting Culture because they wanted to prove themselves, but after the baptism of the times, these people have long since lost their thoughts!

On the contrary, they began to miss the time when they made movies in Tangting Culture. At that time, they only had to be responsible for their own movies, and they never worried about other things!
In particular, you don't have to bend yourself for the sake of capital.

It's just that in the past few years, Tangting Culture is more like an extension of the film academy. It often recruits some new directors and actors, and after they create some fame, they are generously released.

Now the evaluation of Tangting culture in the circle is the Whampoa Military Academy in the film and television industry!
"Old Wu, are you serious?" Zhang Yimou asked subconsciously, and then felt that this was a bit too obvious, and he felt a little embarrassed!

Wu Jianye nodded, and said, "Why would I lie to you about this? I remember I told you when I graduated, and you can find me anytime you want to make a movie!"

Everyone nodded, Tangting culture became their last safe haven!

At night, Zhang Yimou came to Wu Jianye's room.

"Old Wu, I really want to leave the new screen, and now the cooperation with Weiping is getting more and more awkward!" Zhang Yimou said straight to the point while sitting on the sofa in the guest room.

When we were in the coffee shop just now, Zhang Yimou was embarrassed to say that now there are only two people left, so Zhang Yimou has no taboos.

"Although I have made some blockbuster movies in the past few years, they are more of a compromise. Not only the previous "Three Shots", but also "The Golden Armor in the City" are actually not my films. What I want to shoot is just that Weiping wanted the company to go public at the beginning, and I can't help it."

Wu Jianye bought himself a cup of tea, and said, "If you don't want to stay, then you don't have to. Anyway, you have already proved yourself at the box office. In fact, in my opinion, you are more suitable for literary and artistic films. There are those commercial films." A cutting-edge director who understands the market and audience better will do.”

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I think so too. At my age, I don't want to pursue those false names anymore. I just want to make some movies I like while I still have energy!"

Wu Jianye said: "Okay, that's the same sentence, if you want to come back, come back!"

Zhang Yimou said with a somewhat tangled expression, "It's just that the box office of literary films is just that."

Literary films and commercial films are naturally incomparable in terms of box office revenue. Zhang Yimou has earned enough money for the new picture, but now he wants to return to Tangting Culture to make a literary film, which is inevitably a bit embarrassing.

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "Don't worry about that, money is never a problem with me!"

Only then did Zhang Yimou nod his head, and then seriously said: "Then I won't say anything, thank you with tea instead of wine!"

Wu Jianye clinked glasses with him!
After the matter was explained, Zhang Yimou's expression relaxed a lot, and then he said: "There is one thing that you may not know, Wu Baige will also come this time, and after hearing the news that you are coming, You just came here, you should know what it is for!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Of course I know, but even if he comes, nothing can be changed!"
