Chapter 458 The Shock of the Xiangjiang Movie World (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"New Dragon Inn" was released in Hong Kong for a week, and the box office reached 1992 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the box office of this film in Hong Kong will definitely exceed 3000 million Hong Kong dollars or even 4000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wu Jianye, a mainland director, no one will question whether a mainland director's film will be unacceptable if he is brought to Hong Kong at this time. No one will doubt him for two consecutive directors with a box office of over 3000 million. talent and command of the film market.

The most important thing is that the film "New Dragon Inn" has also achieved impressive results in the reviews of the Xiangjiang film industry.

The score of the latest issue of "Black and White Image", "New Dragon Inn" has reached 9.0 points, which is enough to prove that this movie is popular among Hong Kong audiences.

"So far, the best martial arts movie I have seen, bar none!"

"Damo, Huangsha, I wish I was Zhou Huaian!"

"There is a world in everyone's mind, and Dragon Inn is the world in my mind!"

From these words of praise, it can be seen that Xiangjiang audiences love this movie. In fact, before this, Xiangjiang's martial arts movies have been lonely, just like the zombie theme that emerged in the past two years. With the success of "Mr.", Xiangjiang swarmed and appeared countless movies of the same type.

In just a few years, movies with this theme were killed by Xiangjiang's film company, and now only Lin Zhengying is left alone to support zombie-themed movies.

The same is true for martial arts films. Prior to this, martial arts films were once the box office guarantee for Xiangjiang movies, but they were played to death just like zombie movies.

At that time, Xiangjiang's martial arts films pursued hard skills, such as the "One-armed Swordsman" series. There were five films in the entire series, and they were shot by different film companies. Bo court.

However, as movie audiences became tired of this type of movie, martial arts movies were completely desolate in the 80s, which is why everyone was not optimistic about Wu Jianye before.

In fact, it's not just the audience on "Black and White Image" who left comments on "New Dragon Inn" that are almost too much to hold.

Even the "Film Biweekly", which has been confronting Fengge Entertainment, also published an article praising "New Dragon Inn" for the first time.

"...This is destined to be a movie that should not leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese martial arts movies. You can even say that this movie opened another chapter in martial arts movies. In the past, the pattern of martial arts movies in Xiangjiang It has always been limited to the scope of family feuds, and few people can expand to the scope of the country, but "New Dragon Inn" is different. The small one-party inn deduces the love and hatred of the family, the country, and the world. The most important thing is this The movie has also made a huge reform for the way of expressing martial arts movies, and the previous hard bridge and hard horse way is outdated!"

"Director Wu Jianye ingeniously showed everyone another way of martial arts. It turns out that the fighting scenes can be so romantic and tense, especially the last battle in the desert. I have to be attracted by the pictures inside.”

Looking at the words of praise from "Film Biweekly", Jiang Zhiqiang sat opposite Wu Jianye and said with a smile: "The Academy Awards have already confessed, and they found me two days ago, I hope we can get rid of it. At the same time, I proposed that I want to meet with you."

The Golden Statue Awards are not enough. With Fengge Entertainment taking control of Debao Mansion, it can be said that Fengge Entertainment is now the only one. If the Golden Statue Awards still want to be held in Xiangjiang, then It must have the support of Fengge Entertainment, otherwise, the Academy Award is destined to become a short-lived awards ceremony.

Wu Jianye tapped the table lightly, and said, "You can represent Fengge Entertainment and talk to them, and I will disappear!"

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Then shall we support them, or?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Forget it, there is no need to kill all the golden statue awards, but they can't let them mess around. You tell them that a performing arts association can be established in Xiangjiang. The performing arts association will cooperate with "Black and White Image", "Black and White Image", " Film Biweekly co-hosts the Golden Image Awards and forms a Golden Image Award jury."

Before the Golden Statue Awards, for the sake of the Wanwan market, "The Last Emperor" was given a zero egg. Wu Jianye backhandedly organized a grand celebration banquet, which made the Golden Statue Awards lose face. This year's awards ceremony, originally thought that The strong rise of Baohaoting was a shock to Fengge Entertainment. As a result, Debaohaoting was acquired by Fengge Entertainment again!

So at that time, Yu Zheng could say that he was no less depressed than Lin Jianyue and others at that time.

Seeing that Fengge Entertainment has shown a trend of dominating the world in Xiangjiang, it is too late, and Yu Zheng also knows that if he does not bow his head, it is estimated that there will be no way to hold the Golden Statue Awards next year!

"Can "Film Biweekly" agree?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked with some uncertainty.

"Tell them, if they disagree, we will contact "Black and White Image" to hold another film awards ceremony in Xiangjiang!" Wu Jianye said domineeringly.

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "I understand!"

At this moment, Jiang Zhiqiang's secretary came in and said, "Director Wu, director Tsui Hark and Miss Shi Nansheng are here, and they want to see you!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Please come in!"

Soon Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng walked in. Seeing this, Jiang Zhiqiang got up and went back to his office.

"Director Wu, I seemed to be chatting with you at the premiere before." Tsui Hark smiled happily after seeing Wu Jianye.

Before he thought that Wu Jianye didn't understand Xiangjiang's movies, and then he was proud of his heart, so he didn't think Wu Jianye could make such a good movie, but when he really saw Wu Jianye's "New "Dragon Inn", my heart was completely shocked!
The most important thing is that the box office of the movie "New Dragon Inn" has fully demonstrated to Hong Kong industry insiders what a genius is. A mainland director can actually make a movie that meets the aesthetics of Hong Kong audiences, and They were even more shocked by the filming of a martial arts movie that had already been sentenced to death in Xiangjiang.

If the previous "The Last Emperor" let people in Xiangjiang entertainment circle know Wu Jianye's other identity as director!
So now "New Dragon Inn" has made them completely convinced of Wu Jianye.

To be able to make martial arts movies so successfully, and to make the audience enjoy watching them, this can no longer be simply described as excellent.

Only then did they realize that Wu Jianye is a director who won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the best director at the Cannes Film Festival!

This is actually not to blame these people in Xiangjiang for being too forgetful. The main reason is that the consortium such as Fengge Entertainment has too much influence in Xiangjiang. Even if they know that Wu Jianye is the director, but when Wu Jianye is mentioned What comes to mind more is the influence of a large consortium with a market value of tens of billions.

Even if he released "The Last Emperor" in Xiangjiang before, to put it bluntly, the movie "The Last Emperor" is still somewhat incompatible with the environment of Xiangjiang, but now this "New Dragon Inn" is different.

The first day this movie was released in Xiangjiang, it hit the g-spot of Xiangjiang audiences. Now when they mention Wu Jianye again, they will finally seriously add the word director in front of it.

And people like Tsui Hark and Zou Wenhuai no longer think that Wu Jianye is just rich and willful, and making movies is purely for self-entertainment.

Now that Tsui Hark came here personally, he actually wanted to share with Wu Jianye his experience in shooting martial arts films. After all, Tsui Hark himself has always wanted to make martial arts films.

"The core content of martial arts movies must have a suitable story, followed by his fighting scenes, but the fighting scenes can't always remain the same, there should be innovation, and this innovation must serve the audience."

Wu Jianye talked about his understanding of martial arts movies, and Tsui Hark would agree with a few sentences from time to time. Sometimes he even felt that what Wu Jianye said was wrong and refuted it. Shi Nansheng who was watching was also shocked He was afraid that Tsui Hark's honesty would make Wu Jianye feel dissatisfied, but when he saw Wu Jianye was also red-faced arguing with Tsui Hark about the use of a certain lens.

The worry in her heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by another understanding of Wu Jianye. Because of this serious attitude, she often saw it in Tsui Hark, which is her love and responsibility for movies.

It was because of this understanding that Shi Nansheng was not worried at all at this time. She came to Fengge for entertainment this time.

She is different from Tsui Hark. Tsui Hark came here this time purely because he found a lot of common language in "New Dragon Inn" directed by Wu Jianye. He wanted to exchange these experiences with Wu Jianye.

And Shi Nansheng was thinking that he could find investment from Wu Jianye. After all, Tsui Hark was also planning to make a martial arts movie!
In fact, this is also Shi Nansheng’s inherent impression of martial arts movies that has not fundamentally changed. According to the urgency of the Xiangjiang film industry, with the success of "New Dragon Inn", martial arts movies will definitely have a second spring, and Lei Jue Kun will no longer refuse Tsui Hark's request as in the past.

The two sides chatted for a long time, and then seeing that it was getting late, Shi Nansheng smiled beside him and said: "Okay, you two have been chatting for more than two hours, Director Wu, we will be the host tonight, let's sit together? "

When Shi Nansheng was going to have dinner together at night, he discussed with Wu Jianye about investing in Tsui Hark's new movie.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Today probably won't work, I promised to go home for dinner!"

In the past few days when Wu Jianye came to Xiangjiang, he was either busy with the release of "New Dragon Inn", or he was busy with the internal affairs of Debao Mansion. Wu Qichen, Wu Jianye promised them at noon today that they would go home for dinner.

Shi Nansheng showed a disappointed expression, and then said: "Director Wu, there is actually one more thing I want to talk to you about!" Since we can't have dinner together, it's best to bring it up now while the iron is hot.

Wu Jianye looked at the time and said with a smile: "If the two of you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you come home with me, we'll talk about it when we go back!"

Tsui Hark originally wanted to refuse, but Shi Nansheng immediately smiled and said: "If it doesn't delay Director Wu's meal at home, then we will take the liberty of bothering him!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's nothing!"

Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Then bother Director Wu!"

Then Shi Nansheng dragged Tsui Hark back to Repulse Bay with Wu Jianye.

On the way, Shi Nansheng gave Tsui Hark a look that listened to me.

Now how many people in Xiangjiang want to have a relationship with Wu Jianye, but they suffer from no connections. Now that Wu Jianye personally invites them to his house as guests, how could such a thing be missed.

But when the car reached Repulse Bay and was about to arrive at Wu Jianye's villa, the driver stopped.

"Boss, Zheng Weng's car is in front, it seems to have stopped on purpose to wait for you!"

"Go there!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

In the end, Wu Jianye's car and Zheng Yutong's car parked side by side, and Wu Jianye and Zheng Yutong saw each other across the car.

"Wu Sheng, I saw that it was your car just now. Let's play cards together tonight?" Zheng Yutong invited. Tonight is the fixed entertainment time of their big D meeting. Zheng Yutong happened to see Wu Jianye's car, so he also Stop and invite Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye glanced at Xu Hark and Shi Nansheng, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I can't do it today, there are guests at home!"

Zheng Yutong nodded, and didn't force it. Participation in this kind of activity was not mandatory, so he smiled and said, "Well, let's play two shots together when we have time in these two days!"

"I can't ask for it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

The two then said goodbye through the window.

Shi Nansheng and Tsui Hark looked at each other. Although he knew that Wu Jianye had a high voice in the Xiangjiang business circle, it had always been heard. Now that Zheng Yutong personally invited Wu Jianye to participate in the big D game, Wu Jianye Jian Ye refused because of the two of them.

This kind of shock that seeing is believing made them very shocked, and there was even a hint of joy and pride in their hearts.

So what about billionaires, Director Wu still wants to have dinner with us.
When the car drove into the Repulse Bay Villa, the two of them were also shocked by the luxurious decoration in the villa. The top villas in Xiangjiang are indeed not comparable to ordinary villas.

When they walked into the living room, the two also found an old friend.

"Honggu, what's wrong with you?" Shi Nansheng showed a surprised expression when he saw Zhong Chuhong. His first thought was the relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Wu Jianye.
However, Zhong Chuhong quickly dispelled his doubts: "Gong Xie and I are good friends, and it happens that I have nothing to do today, so I came to see her!"

It was only then that Shi Nansheng remembered that Zhong Chuhong and Gong Xi had a good relationship, which was a secret that Xiangjiang had made public long ago.

Shi Nansheng and Gong Xie also knew each other, but they didn't have much communication before. Now that they are better, with Zhong Chuhong as the middleman, the three women chatted very lively very quickly, and Wu Jianye took over Wu Qichen who was in Gong Xie's arms. , hugged him, and came to the study with Tsui Hark.
