Chapter 827 Invitation at the wedding (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

The Oscars are about to start, but before heading to Los Angeles, Wu Jianye has one more thing to do.

That is to attend the wedding of Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli!
Although the two knew each other before, they were not familiar with each other. However, the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" last year brought the two of them together again. They have been in love for less than a year and are ready to get married.

This year, Gu Changwei was 36 years old and Jiang Wenli was 24 years old!
Yanjing Hotel.

Gu Changwei was wearing a black suit, but seeing his appearance, it always made people feel a little out of place, and Jiang Wenli next to him was wearing a white wedding dress, which looked very fashionable in this era.

Sitting next to Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige looked at the two people on the stage who were saluting, and whispered to Wu Jianye, "When are you going to Cannes?"

Wu Jianye whistled to the stage first, and then said: "I will go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow. After attending the Oscars, I will fly directly to Cannes!"

Chen Kaige said with some regret: "Then there is no way to go there with you!"

Wu Jianye gave Chen Kaige a white look, and said, "Are you regretting this?"

Zhang Huijun explained from the side: "It's a pity that he can't sit in the first class with you!"

Everyone around Wu Jianye knew him. In terms of enjoyment, Wu Jianye would never wrong himself, so it must be a very pleasant thing to follow Wu Jianye when traveling.

When Chen Kaige asked that question just now, he must have thought the same way.

But Comrade Chen Kaige will definitely not admit it, "What nonsense are you talking about, we set off in Xiangjiang, it is impossible to be with Old Wu!"

Because of the appearance of Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige in this life spends a lot more time with his classmates, so the relationship between them is much better than in another time and space.

Zhang Huijun curled his lips, "We will believe you once you say it!"

Wu Jianye didn't care about their gags here, but said to Zhang Yimou at the side: "How is the filming of "To Live" going?"

Zhang Yimou smiled naively, and said: "It's okay, part of the filming has been done, but it will take a few months to finish all the filming!"

The filming cycle of "Alive" is very long, mainly because several leading actors have just finished filming "Farewell My Concubine", and their status has not changed, so it seems a bit slow.

Wu Jianye said: "Don't wait until my new movie comes out, your movie is still in the works!"

Lao Mouzi started preparations for the movie "To Live" last year, and now he has just filmed part of it, and I heard that Lao Mouzi was very dissatisfied with the part he shot before, so he had to push it to reshoot if it was not good.

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the attitude towards movies should be serious!"

Wu Jianye: "."

"By the way, I heard that you went to Renyi before, what's the matter? The male lead of the new movie has been decided?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, it's a supporting role. Judging from the current situation, the male and female leading roles will not be decided until May!"

Wu Jianye is going to Los Angeles after finishing the work here. After attending the Oscars, he will go to the Cannes Film Festival. After these two things are completed, it is already mid-May!
Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "I'm really curious what your new movie is like!"

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said: "Commercial film, if I have to define this movie, I hope it will be a great commercial film, regardless of whether this movie will be successful in the end, but one thing is for sure, this movie is in It must be of great significance in the history of domestic film!"

The other people have actually heard what Wu Jianye said. If someone else said that, they would definitely sneer at it, but now that Wu Jianye said it, they take it for granted.

They were used to Wu Jianye's success, and they were used to everything he said came true!
While they were chatting, Gu Changwei brought Jiang Wenli, who had already changed, to their table to toast.

"Brothers, I won't say anything unnecessary, everyone eat and drink well!" Gu Changwei looked very happy.

Jiang Wenli next to her also took the initiative to toast with everyone. Everyone at this table is the mainstay of the domestic film industry today.

Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige are the three major directors. Of course, there are people like Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wu Ziniu. It can be said that most of the directors in the country are here.

This can also tell what kind of terrifying existence Yanjing Film Academy's 78th grade is.

After everyone drank the wedding wine, they didn't say much. There wouldn't be much verbal communication on this occasion, it was more of a ceremony.

The process of the wedding was very smooth, and there was nothing that I disagreed with.

After the wedding banquet at the hotel, Wu Jianye brought the group of students to an empty courtyard to drink tea and chat. Those who stayed at the school left when they had classes, and those who had no classes also came to the courtyard.

Everyone drank tea and chatted together, which was lively, and some of them drank too much at noon, so they found an empty house to sleep.

On the second day, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli found Wu Jianye.

"Thank you for what happened before, Old Wu!" Gu Changwei said with a smile all over his face.

"Well, you should really thank me!" Wu Jianye said seriously.

Gu Changwei showed a helpless expression, and Jiang Wenli on the side couldn't help laughing. She played a small role in "Legend of the New White Snake" before, and she is no stranger to Wu Jianye.

The reason why Gu Changwei thanked Wu Jianye was because Wu Jianye had arranged the motorcade for his wedding, and there was another thing at the same time.
"Have you really decided to go to Hollywood?" Wu Jianye put away his smile and asked seriously.

Gu Changwei nodded and said, "That's right. Vegeta went to Hollywood to study for two years. After I came back, I could clearly feel the difference between him and him, so this time I also want to go and study!"

Seeing that Zhang Yimou, who used to study photography like himself, has now become one of the most powerful directors in China, it is impossible to say that Gu Changwei has no idea of ​​being a director. This time, he is going to study in Hollywood.

"When are you going to go?" Wu Jianye asked curiously.

"Wait until Jiang Yun's "Sunny Day" is finished!" Gu Changwei said.

After the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", Gu Changwei joined Jiang Yun's crew as a photographer of "Sunny Day". for the holidays.

"How is the filming of "Sunny Day" going?" Wu Jianye asked curiously. He had always wanted to go to the crew to see it, but he never made time for it, so Wu Jianye has never been very clear about "Sunshine". Brilliant Days" filming progress.

Speaking of this movie, Gu Changwei also had a look of helplessness: "Jiang Yun has too many ideas, even one idea a day, and the filming has not officially started yet. I followed him to shoot a lot of scenery before. I don’t know if it will be useful then.”

Wu Jianye chuckled and didn't say anything. Jiang Yun's movies are notoriously slow, and everyone said that his filming speed was not fast enough, but compared with Jiang Yun, Wu Jianye felt that he was already fast enough.

This time Gu Changwei and his wife came here to confirm their study in Hollywood. Although there is still a long time before the end of "Sunny Day", the sooner this kind of thing is settled, the better.

But Wu Jianye also has his own ideas.

"Wen Li, there is a character in my new movie that is very suitable for you. Are you interested?" Wu Jianye formally invited Jiang Wenli.

This is the fifth character in Wu Jianye's new movie.

The previous four invited Chen Wei, Chen Daohuang, Jiang Yu, He Yan, and now Jiang Wenli!
Jiang Wenli smiled immediately, everyone was staring at Wu Jianye's new movie, and Jiang Wenli was no exception, and this time Wu Jianye specially invited her, so it must be more important than the previous "Legend of the White Snake" too much.

You must know that up to now, the most famous movie that Jiang Wenli has starred in is "Farewell My Concubine" with few roles. Now that Wu Jianye personally invites herself for her new movie, how could she not be excited!

"I'm interested, I'm interested!" Jiang Wenli agreed without consulting Gu Changwei.

Gu Changwei didn't care either, he just looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What character is it?"

"A role similar to that of a brothel boss!" Wu Jianye chuckled.

In fact, Wu Jianye came up with the idea of ​​finding Jiang Wenli to play this role after watching Jiang Wenli's performance in "Farewell My Concubine".

In his new movie, the character played by Jiang Wenli is a bit older than her actual age, but makeup can still make up for this gap.

In fact, in Wu Jianye's mind, Zhang Manyu is more suitable for this role, but Wu Jianye plans to use all domestic actors for this movie, and Hong Kong and Taiwan will give up, so he had to choose Jiang Wenli .

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli didn't have any meaning because of this role, but they were a little curious about this setting.

"Didn't you say that your new movie is a fairy tale drama? Why is there such a character as the brothel boss?" Gu Changwei asked curiously.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "This is different from the traditional fairy tales in China. There will not be too many gods that we are familiar with, and more are original. In my movie, all the gods, They are all transformed from humans, but their abilities are stronger than ordinary people, so they are called gods!"

Gu Changwei still didn't quite understand what Wu Jianye meant, but he still asked, "Then Wen Li is in this movie?"

Wu Jianye knew what Gu Changwei was worried about, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there won't be any excessive scenes."

At this time, the censorship system of domestic movies and TV is actually very loose. Except for political elements, some movies and TVs will be banned. In terms of lens, except for those that are particularly bold, there will be a certain degree of deletion. The rebirth of Wu Jianye Compared with the times, the current movies are simply too happy in this respect.

The shots of many movies are actually more daring than the movies and TVs of later generations.

Think about "Fengshen Yanyi" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". There are countless examples in the movies. Friends who are interested can search for themselves.

However, it was this kind of unlimited creation that caused domestic films to fall into a vicious circle in the 90s and [-]s, which also led to stricter and stricter control of scale in the later period.

Gu Changwei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there were no excessive scenes. Now that the two have just got married, it is the time of deep affection. If they wait another two years, Gu Changwei probably won't even ask!
Wu Jianye continued: "If there are no accidents, this will be a movie with two episodes, but if you really want to participate in this movie, you have to sign a contract with Tangting Culture for five plays!"

Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli were taken aback after hearing this. No one thought that Wu Jianye's new movie would be divided into two parts.

In fact, even Wu Jianye himself didn't think of it at the beginning, but after many revisions to the script, some plots could not be modified anyway. In the end, Wu Jianye decided to divide the new movie into upper and lower parts. two parts.

Moreover, Wu Jianye will also adopt the plan of continuous shooting of the upper and lower parts.

Jiang Wenli asked curiously: "Since there are only two parts, why did you sign five parts?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Because there will be a trilogy for your character in the future!"

This new movie will be Wu Jianye's first movie universe for China, and it can also be said to be a test of the waters, a test of the waters for the Three Thousand Universe movies.

However, in Wu Jianye's plan, this movie universe is more of a flashback mode, which is more similar to the DC mode.

However, as a reborn person, Wu Jianye naturally knew where DC's problem was.

First of all, after seeing the success of Marvel, DC was a little eager for quick success, and did not polish the story of the entire movie universe well, resulting in the movie audience's viewing experience not being coherent.

At the same time, it is also because DC's movie style is not uniform enough.

Not only want to learn Marvel's funny and funny style, but also because Nolan's "Batman" trilogy is so successful, they want to continue to use this slightly dark style to shoot DC series.

This is another reason why DC failed.

After knowing the reasons for these failures, it is naturally impossible for Wu Jianye to repeat their mistakes. At this time, Wu Jianye has already asked Tangting Culture to remove part of the screenwriters from the Three Thousand Universe Studio, and officially started this project. The story writing of the universe, first of all, is to ensure the coherence of the whole story.

As for whether the audience will buy the story of this series in the end, we can only find out after the movie is released. Wu Jianye really doesn't know what the consequences of doing so are now!
Jiang Wenli didn't have as many worries as Wu Jianye, but she just heard that she will star in five dignified movies in succession, and three of them have her as the protagonist.

It is impossible to refuse!
At this time, Jiang Wenli just wanted to sign the contract quickly!
Wu Jianye smiled, took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Jiang Wenli!
