China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

On the plane, Wang Zuxian and Wu Yuchen clinked glasses and sighed:

Wu Yuchen, you are really the youngest director I have ever seen!

Isn't there anyone in Hong Kong or Wanwan who is younger than me and is a director? Wu Yuchen couldn't help but ask.

Wang Zuxian shook his head: When I worked with Cheng Long before, he said that he was an unprecedented director in Hong Kong at the age of 24. I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to surpass him in the future. Next time I see him again, I will tell him about my I met a director who was less than 20 years old in mainland China!

Wu Yuchen laughed and asked: Is it that Laughing Fist and Strange Moves? I remember that Cheng Long was dressed as a woman in it. The way he put on lipstick and twisted his butt while walking really made me laugh to death!

Wang Zuxian nodded and said with a smile: I haven't seen much of his drama, but when he and I collaborated on City Hunter, the look of Chun Li's tight short skirt made the whole crew unable to hold back~

As the saying goes, there are only zero and infinite times for women to dress up. Cheng Long has dressed up as women many times in movies and created some eye-catching looks, which are certainly funny.

After the two laughed for a while, Wu Yuchen still said modestly: There is still no comparison. Cheng Long did it all by himself. I can't do without the help of my school and classmates!

Under Wang Zuxian's questioning, Wu Yuchen briefly explained the process of preparing for the filming of Car 44.

After Wang Zuxian heard this, he admired Wu Yuchen even more. After all, he was able to get the Berlin Golden Bear short film through crowdfunding, which is a bit legendary no matter how you look at it.

She couldn't help but praise:

You are already very good, you even won the Tokyo Film Festival Grand Prize!

To be honest, when I first read the script, I asked someone to inquire about it. Knowing that you are so young, I almost didn’t want to come. I thought, did the director of such a young person make a mistake? It was later that I came to watch The Two of Us that I filmed, and I thought it was really great, so I decided to give you a call.

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he realized that there was still such a thing. It seemed that things were really different after winning the prize, otherwise Wang Zuxian would probably not pay attention to him this time.

Director Wu, do you plan to win another prize this time so that I can take advantage of it~ Wang Zuxian looked at Wu Yuchen with a smile.

Wu Yuchen smiled slightly embarrassedly when he heard this: Sorry, Sister Xiaoxian, I made this movie just to make money at the box office. It is basically impossible to win any awards.

Wu Yuchen didn't intend to fool Wang Zuxian in this regard. After all, the filming has been completed, and people will be able to see the effect when the film is released.

Making money at the box office? But can this type of movie really make money at the box office? Wang Zuxian is a little confused, because this kind of painful movie, and there are still some old-fashioned painful movies, have long been out of date in Hong Kong Island and Wanwan. .

Sister Xiaoxian, you don't know this. In 1990, there was a movie called Mom Love Me Again introduced to the mainland. It was watched by more than 200 million people that year, causing a huge sensation!

200 million?! Wang Zuxian said in surprise. The number of people in Bay Area plus Hong Kong Island is only 30 million. 200 million moviegoers are really beyond her imagination.

Wu Yuchen nodded: There are many people in mainland China. At that time, movie tickets only cost a few cents, and it took half a year to play in various places.

So let's put it this way, even if a movie ticket costs only a few yuan now, doesn't your movie now have a box office of more than one billion? Why have I never heard of it? Wang Zuxian said in surprise.

Wu Yuchen shook his head:

That's not the case. In 1979, the mainland had a peak of 29.3 billion moviegoers, but the distribution model at that time could cover rural areas. People did not pay to watch a movie, only the commune paid. In 1990 At that time, there were still 16.2 billion moviegoers across the country. Now, although ticket prices have increased more than ten times, the number of moviegoers throughout the year may only be 12% of the original number.

Wang Zuxian nodded, although he didn't quite understand why it dropped so fast.

But Wu Yuchen said with a smile: Sister Xiaoxian, although we can't have that many moviegoers, I think with you here this time, the box office will definitely be 40 million, and I dare to hit 50 million~

If I can get 50 million, then I will be your heroine for free next time~

Wang Zuxian smiled and thought Wu Yuchen was saying something auspicious. She has been filming for so long, and the movie with the highest box office so far is God of Gamblers, with a box office of 36 million, which was the box office champion in Hong Kong Island that year.

I have taken note of your words. I won't regret it when the time comes! Wu Yuchen immediately clapped his hands and said with a smile.

What he just said was true. With Wang Zuxian in the movie My Brothers and Sisters, it really has a huge publicity point, and it can really increase the box office by 10 million. If it really works well by then, 50 million is no joke.

Wang Zuxian followed Wu Yuchen's words and replied: Okay, but if your script doesn't satisfy me, I won't accept it, and don't ask me to act in a sad drama again~

Haha, that won't happen. Then I'll ask you to do a comedy! Do you know which of your performances I like best?

What? Wang Zuxian asked curiously.

Wu Yuchen deliberately pinched his throat, pointed an orchid finger at her with his right hand, and imitated a harsh female voice and said:

Why are you looking at him leeringly? You must not like him!

He is already married to me and is engaged to me. Even if you don't care, he won't like you!

I don’t care whether you look at him lustfully or he looks at you lustfully, in short he is already mine and he can only look at me lustfully!

If you want to see it, just look at me!

When Wang Zuxian heard this words coming from Wu Yuchen's mouth, he couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

This passage is one of the classic lines of the junior sister played by Wang Zuxian in The East Comes the West.

When it comes to East and West, we have to mention the King of Sunglasses and his Ashes of Time. Ashes of Time was originally going to be filmed in two parts, and the actors in the crew also signed contracts for two parts.

The crew started filming in early September 1992, preparing to catch up with the Spring Festival schedule. But it goes without saying what kind of character Wong Kar-Wai is. He changed things over and over again and procrastinated. After two or three months of filming, the crew spent a lot of money, but they didn't even get a decent plot.

Cai Songlin, the boss of Wanwan, had someone bring a gun to the set to stare at the Sunglasses King, which frightened him to the point of peeing. He was forced to quickly invite his friend Liu Zhenwei to come to the rescue. In three weeks, East and West was filmed.

This group of actors had accumulated a lot of depression during the filming of Ashes of Time. At Liu Zhenwei's request, they all let themselves go and let themselves go. For example, the jealous and venomous junior sister played by Wang Zuxian had all her venomous lines written by herself!

From here, we can also see that Joey Wong is really talented in comedy. He is naturally funny when performing comedy, and his exaggerated ways of persuasion and lines are also mastered by Joey Wong with ease.

I'm really convinced by you. If you're not afraid of me writing vicious lines, I'll star in it! Wang Zuxian was still laughing with joy.

It's a deal! Wu Yuchen agreed with him with a smile.

After returning to the capital, Wu Yuchen and Wang Zuxian said goodbye, and then rushed back to Beijing Film Studio without stopping.

When Han Sanping saw Wu Yuchen, he immediately came over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said:

Director Xiao Wu, you have worked hard! With you and Wang Zuxian joining forces this time, I have high expectations for the box office of our movie!

It is impossible to do without the support of Director Han and our Beijing Film Studio. It is indeed an unexpected surprise that Wang Zuxian can join us this time!

Director Xiao Wu, do you have any ideas about the schedule of our movie? Han Sanping asked after sitting down.

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment: Director Han, it's best to choose a timetable with holidays. The Spring Festival time is definitely too late. May Day, summer time or National Day will work.

Well, then it will be scheduled for the summer for the time being. My Brothers and Sisters will definitely be the key project of our Beijing Film Studio this year, and our Beijing Film Studio will definitely push it with all our strength.

Wu Yuchen reminded again: Director Han, the soundtrack of our movie is very important. Whether the tear-jerking effect is good or not is directly related to the music.

Don't worry, I'll be in charge of all this, and I'm sure to get you the results you want!

With the addition of Wang Zuxian, the status of My Brothers and Sisters in Han Sanping's heart has skyrocketed, and its priority is extremely high.

Then he smiled and said to Wu Yuchen: Director Xiao Wu, you should go back and rest first. Don't be in a hurry to edit the film. Come back after you have regained your energy. You have plenty of time.

Thank you, Director Han, for your concern. Then I'll be more respectful than obey your orders and come back in two days!

Wu Yuchen really didn't want to stay here any longer, not because he disliked it, but because something happened. Jingying has been on vacation for half a month, and Jiang Qinqin hasn't left yet, waiting for him to come back. He has to hurry over and spend a day or two with her.

At night, in the hotel, Wu Yuchen held Jiang Qinqin in his arms, shook her ears and said:

Good Qinqin, do you feel how much I miss you?

Jiang Qinqin's white and tender neck was dripping with sweat, and she nodded.

After a while, Jiang Qinqin lazily leaned on Wu Yuchen's chest and asked:

Didn't you say you wanted to write a script for me?

I haven't had time to write yet~

Humph, I knew you were coaxing me~ Jiang Qinqin bit him lightly.

Wu Yuchen ruffled her hair, then pointed at his head and said, No way, it's all in here!

Then tell me~ Jiang Qinqin said charmingly.

Wu Yuchen slapped her butt: If you still don't believe me, I will punish you later!

However, Wu Yuchen still cleared his throat and said: The story happened twenty years ago, and the heroine...

As Wu Yuchen narrated, Jiang Qinqin gradually became fascinated. After a while, when she saw Wu Yuchen stopped, she couldn't help but patted him and said, Why did you stop? What happened next?

Wu Yuchen raised the corners of his lips and said, Didn't you still believe me just now, saying that I was coaxing you?

Seeing Wu Yuchen's appearance, Jiang Qinqin immediately shook his arm in cooperation and begged: Good brother, I was wrong, please forgive me~

But her charming eyes clearly revealed a desire to resist but to welcome him.

Wu Yuchen showed a sinister smile: If an apology is useful, why do you need the police? Without unforgettable education, you won't be able to remember this truth!

After saying that, he stood up with Jiang Qinqin in his arms and walked towards the bathroom.

…

Two days later, Wu Yuchen drove Jiang Qinqin away in person. This time, he did not let her take any trains or buses, and bought her a ticket directly back. Today's trains are not as good as the high-speed trains of later generations. If you don't even keep an eye on your luggage, you might encounter a thief. He doesn't want Jiang Qinqin to have a hard journey.

After Wu Yuchen returned home, Wu Jianping and Zhou Shulan thought he had just returned home from filming, and Zhou Shulan specially cooked a table of dishes.

At the dinner table, Zhou Shulan praised: Chenchen, your filming of Two of Us was so good, it made all my colleagues in our unit cry!

Zhou Shulan has been very popular in the hospital for more than half a year. First, a book Bright Sword came out, which made people around her praise her husband for his greatness. Although she also explained that her son and husband created it together, everyone still felt that It must be mainly Wu Jianping. But no matter what, it made her blush greatly.

Then her son's film The Two of Us won the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival and was published in newspapers. She specially collected several copies of those newspapers and took them to her work, which aroused a wave of envy and praise.

Moreover, praising her son this time made her happier than praising Wu Jianping, and she couldn't help but feel nervous when she walked.

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: Mom, if you cried while watching Two of Us, then you will definitely cry out a pack of tissues when My Brothers and Sisters I filmed is released!

After all, My Brothers and Sisters is specifically aimed at sensationalism.

Zhou Shulan became even more excited after hearing this: Really? Then I will have to call them all to the cinema to watch!

Speaking of Two of Us, Director Gu was also very active at the time. He found China Film Group Corporation within two days, but instead of releasing it on a large scale, it was only scheduled to be released in Beijing because their movie channel didn't care about the box office at all.

The real dissemination channel of The Two of Us is the movie channel itself. It really corresponds to what they joked about. According to the leadership's requirements, it has to be broadcast every two weeks. We can't prepare and produce an award-winning movie ourselves. Show off and show off?

Up to now, I don’t know how many people across the country have watched The Two of Us!

The exposure effect of this wave is really not comparable to that of being released in a cinema. The one who benefits the most is Zhou Xun. At the same time, Wu Yuchen has naturally entered the eyes of many interested people.

Wu Yuchen knew his mother's character, so he just smiled and asked Wu Jianping:

Dad, how is the new novel going?

Wu Jianping swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said with a smile: It was written last month. This time our unit attaches great importance to it. The proofreading and other things have been completed. I will wait for you to take a look. If there is no problem, then you can It’s the final draft.”

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he immediately took the rice in the bowl and put it into his mouth, and then read the new novel written by Wu Jianping.

Wu Yuchen originally asked Wu Jianping to write Bright Sword. On the one hand, he wanted to make a lot of money through it, and also to hoard the copyright to make a TV series.

Naturally, he wants his film and television company to be able to walk on two legs at the same time. The domestic film market has indeed been sluggish in the past few years, but the TV drama market has continued to rise and flourish every year. It would be a pity to let it go!

Bright Sword is very good, very good, but just because it is so good, Wu Yuchen is a little reluctant to film it now. Their company has never filmed a TV series and is unknown in the industry. The first TV series has not been tested by the market and will not be taken seriously at all, so it cannot be sold at a high price.

Therefore, Wu Yuchen later gave Wu Jianping a story, which was also a military theme that he was good at, and asked him to write a novel first, and then adapt it into a TV series as the company's first TV series.

Wu Yuchen held the corrected manuscript in his hand, looked at the cover, and saw that it read:

The Years of Burning Passion.
