Zhao Yazhi's sentiments made Jiang Qinqin thoughtful. Her mentality was a bit inflated after she became famous. Others would say that she might not be able to hear it, but she has acted in many popular works. What Zhao Yazhi said made her sober up.

Wu Yuchen helped him choose Returning the Pearl and Princess, otherwise she would have been approached by Qiong Yao, but she was going to act in There Are Tears in the Sky, which was released in Wanwan earlier than Returning the Pearl and Princess , the lineup was luxurious, but the final results were mediocre. At that time, Wu Yuchen told her that the audience was tired of Qiong Yao's style, and it turned out to be true now.

Qiong Yao herself didn't value Huan Zhu Ge Ge, but Wu Yuchen was able to predict it in advance, and it was clear at a glance which one had a higher or lower vision.

Not to mention If Love Is God's Will, it can be said that Wu Yuchen specially prepared it for her and taught her how to act step by step. It can be said that she put food in her mouth.

Therefore, it can be said that Wu Yuchen personally made her famous. Without her Jiang Qinqin, as long as Wu Yuchen wants to be praised, another heroine can still be popular. But without Wu Yuchen, Jiang Qinqin might be nothing now...

After thinking about this, Jiang Qinqin's inflated emotions these days have really subsided a lot, and then she said to Zhao Yazhi: Thank you, Teacher Zhao for reminding~

Then she glanced at Wu Yuchen who was chatting with the producer, and suddenly thought in her heart, no, he is my man, isn't it natural for me to rely on him?

Thinking of this, her back straightened up again. Except for Wu Yuchen, she could still bluster in front of others!

Wu Yuchen didn't know what Jiang Qinqin was thinking over there. Tonight's closing banquet, Zhu Yongde, the boss of Shanghai Film Studio, naturally came over. After drinking and drinking, he asked Wu Yuchen:

Director Wu, when do you plan to film our show My Sassy Girl? New Year or summer vacation?

There are no May 1st or 11th slots at the moment. The two best time periods for box office in the whole year are the summer and the end of the year. My Sassy Girl is a comedy, and this type of film is actually suitable for release during the Lunar New Year, so Lao Zhu asked this question.

Mr. Zhu, let's schedule it for the summer. To be honest, I have a lot of things to do next. I may have to postpone the post-production of My Sassy Girl. I will have plenty of time for the release of My Sassy Girl next summer. some.

Wu Yuchen is really not lying. After filming Donkey Gets Water, he just finished editing and ran out to promote If Love Is God's Will with Jiang Qinqin. Then I had to quickly shoot My Sassy Girl before summer was over.

Now the post-production of My Sassy Girl can be put back a little bit. He has to go back and complete the post-production of Donkey Gets Water first. Although part of it has been handed over to others, the coordination and effectiveness have to be He, the director, would check it out.

Okay, Director Wu, if you set a time, we can arrange work here. Lao Zhu had no objection to this.

When the closing banquet was about to end, Wu Yuchen asked Wang Zuxian: Sister Xiaoxian, aren't you going back to Wanwan after filming this time?

Wang Zuxian smiled and shook his head: I will rest for two days, and then go to Chengdu, where I will meet Qi Qin and go to Tibet. He will hold a Tibetan concert on October 2~

Wu Yuchen nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: Then I wish you all the best on your trip to Tibet and have fun~

Wu Yuchen had also heard about this concert. Qi Qin was the first pop singer to hold a large-scale concert in Tibet, and Wang Zuxian was the special guest.

To be honest, just from this point of view, it is quite admirable. The altitude is nearly 4,000 meters. It is still a real singing. It is not for money. Otherwise, it could be held in an eastern coastal city. It can be said that it is very dedicated. Compared with The 10-beat E6 who pretended to be lip-syncing to make money but was so strong that I don’t know where he is.

But thinking about the relationship between Wang Zuxian and Qi Qin, he couldn't help but shake his head, but there was nothing he could do.

Wu Yuchen and Wang Zuxian have also collaborated in two movies, and their relationship is relatively familiar. They can usually joke around, but it is difficult for him, an outsider, to interfere in such emotional matters.

As for Qi Qin's illegitimate child, it is not that Hong Kong and Taiwan media have reported rumors about it. Maybe Wang Zuxian has heard about it a long time ago, but the illegitimate child has not been made public until now, so she just pretends that she doesn't know about it. But just when she and Qi Qin were about to get married, the illegitimate child appeared in public and made a fuss in court. She didn't know whether the terms had not been agreed upon in private, or whether it had been planned long ago. This led to a complete quarrel between the two of them...

Wu Yuchen really can't do anything about this kind of thing, he can only hope that there will be some different progress this time.

After a lively closing banquet, the crew also went their separate ways. Wu Yuchen took Jiang Qinqin directly back to the capital, and naturally continued to invest in the post-production of Donkey Gets Water.

As for Jiang Qinqin, she was pulled over by Xiangnan Satellite TV and Qiong Yao to discuss the sequel to Huan Zhu Ge Ge.

After Jiang Qinqin became a movie star through If Love Is Divine Will, she was a little disdainful of the sequel to Huan Zhu Ge Ge and didn't really want to act in it. However, Xiangnan Satellite TV and Qiong Yao have now regarded Huan Zhu Ge Ge as a movie star. Big baby, how can this sequel work without a heroine? Therefore, I came to do Jiang Qinqin’s ideological work every day.

Wu Yuchen didn't care, letting her make her own decision while he was busy with his own affairs.

In the recording studio, listening to the duet I Want You by Wang Fei and Li Jian, Wu Yuchen showed a satisfied smile. This song is the theme song of the movie. The original version also has two versions. One is sung by actor Ren Suxi herself, and the other is a duet version between her and Lao Lang.

This time Wu Yuchen invited Wang Fei and Li Jian to record Wang Fei's solo and male and female duet versions. So far, the results are good.

After the two came out of the recording studio, Wu Yuchen said with a smile: Very good! Thank you for your hard work~

Wang Fei said politely: What are you talking about, Director Wu? You wrote this song very well. I have to thank you for thinking of coming to me to sing it.

She had been in contact with Wu Yuchen two years ago, when they were still at Dou Wei's house, but now they have changed. The two gave birth to a daughter, but were already divorcing. And Wu Yuchen, who was a new director two years ago, has now transformed into a major international director. Her agents told her to be polite when meeting Wu Yuchen, which made her sigh with emotion.

Next to him, Li Jian smiled at Wu Yuchen. He had already sung a song If Love Has God's Will to Wu Yuchen before, and this time he was pulled over again, and he sang duet with Queen Wang Fei. Li Jian felt that Following Wu Yuchen's rhythm is really being carried away.

Haha, let's stop being polite to each other. I'll treat you to dinner. Thank you for singing my theme song so well! Wu Yuchen waved his hand and said with a smile.

After a few people chatted at the dinner table, Wang Fei also mentioned the matter on Hong Kong Island to Wu Yuchen:

Director Wu, you may not know that you have caused a lot of controversy on Hong Kong Island~

Oh? What kind of controversy? Wu Yuchen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Could it be that someone from Hong Kong Island came out to criticize him?

It's just about this year's Hong Kong Island Film Awards. Many people criticized the Hong Kong Island Film Awards for being too rigid. They said that your Run Lola Run was obviously filmed on Hong Kong Island, so it should be considered a Hong Kong Island film, but the Hong Kong Film Awards are too rigid. The awards were not allowed to participate in the evaluation, which caused a lot of controversy.

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he realized that he had gone astray.

Currently, among the several film awards in the entire Chinese-speaking region, the Golden Horse Award is the most influential, because it has relaxed restrictions in the past few years, and any Chinese-language film regardless of region and nationality can sign up to participate, as long as it meets the director's qualifications For Chinese, it is enough if the dialogue in the movie is in Chinese.

For example, Sunny Days won many awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Effects in the first year of the Golden Horse. He directly grabbed half of the grand prize and stole the show.

Compared with the Golden Horse Awards, the Hong Kong Island Film Awards can only be said to be a local award because its registration conditions stipulate that the director is from Hong Kong Island; more than 6 members of the creative team are from Hong Kong Island; and the film has Hong Kong Island funds. injection. At least two of these three conditions must be met to participate in the Hong Kong Island Film Awards.

Last year's Run Lola Run obviously failed to meet the requirements. Therefore, regardless of whether the movie was shot on Hong Kong Island or whether it was a Chinese-language movie, it just couldn't participate in the competition.

Wu Yuchen smiled lightly and said: It will be their loss if I are not allowed to participate in the competition.

Director Wu, you are right, that's why the Academy Awards were scolded! Wang Fei agreed.

In fact, Wu Yuchen also knows that the reason for causing such a big controversy is probably because his two consecutive movies in the United States have exceeded 100 million in box office, and they are not about to exceed 100 million. Black Hole Frequency reached 150 million US dollars, and Sniper Phone Booth finally Reached 180 million.

Although Hong Kong Islanders have a sense of superiority towards the mainland, they are nothing in front of their beautiful father. Think about it, many people in Hong Kong consider a British man as their father, and a British man is America's younger brother, so America is also their uncle in terms of seniority. Wu Yuchen has conquered their uncle, so isn't that a group of people who want to cheer for Wu Yuchen? Otherwise, how can we prove the superiority of British father and American uncle?

It's just that in the past 20 years, Hong Kong Island's film industry has developed and can be called the Hollywood of the East. Therefore, the status of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards has also been raised. But now it is at its peak. As Hong Kong Island movies continue to decline, If you don’t relax restrictions and insist on localization, the gold content of the Academy Awards will continue to decline.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, and after sending Wang Fei away, Wu Yuchen left Li Jian behind, and then took out a copy of lyrics and music and handed it to him.

Li Jian took it and took a look and saw I believe written on it. He couldn't help but ask: Director Wu, is this?

This is the theme song of My Sassy Girl. Your voice is just right. Go back and practice hard. Wu Yuchen patted his shoulder and said.

Li Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. Who doesn't know about Wu Yuchen's new movie My Sassy Girl? There has been a lot of fuss since the beginning of filming, and now the theme song has been given to him again!

Li Jian decided to quit his job and pursue a career in music because of If Love Has God's Will. This song made him quite famous. And now Wu Yuchen has arranged two songs for him, I Want You and I Believe...

To put it bluntly, Wu Yuchen is Li Jian's boss, and he doesn't know how to repay him for this kindness!

Director Wu, don't worry, I will definitely practice this song well and won't hold you back!

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: No, I will give you the script when I get back. You can experience the emotions of the hero and heroine. Don't show off your skills. The emotion of this song is the soul.

This song was covered by Sun Nan in his previous life and became famous. But to be honest, Sun Nan’s singing skills are adequate, but she just likes to show off her skills, and her timbre is high and bright. As a result, she showed off her skills and made a gentle and affectionate song high-pitched and penetrating, penetrating your sister. ! This is not about participating in I Am a Singer!

Wu Yuchen really didn't cultivate Li Jian on purpose. His timbre is very suitable for the two songs If Love Is Provident and I Believe, and now he seems to have become his own favorite singer. But Wu Yuchen doesn't care about these details, as long as the effect is good.

After the soundtrack for Donkey Gets Water was completed, the overall post-production was actually almost completed, which finally made him feel relieved. Although the script of this movie is still similar to the original version in the previous life, the actors have changed drastically and the style is also different. It can be said that it is two movies from the original version. He cannot say that he is confident about winning awards, but he has tried his best.

As if by coincidence, Wu Yuchen received an international call at this time. After looking at the area code, he found that the call was from Germany.

Hello, this is Wu Yuchen.

Hello, Director Wu, we are the organizer of the Berlin International Film Festival. We hope we won't disturb you~

After hearing this, Wu Yuchen murmured in his heart, Donkey Gets Water on his side has just completed post-production, has it already been spread to Berlin? It shouldn’t be. Is the information now so well-informed?

Oh, no, what's the matter?

Director Wu, we would like to invite you to serve as a judge for the 49th Berlin Film Festival. I wonder if you are willing?

Film festivals usually invite judges several months in advance. After all, directors and actors all have schedules. If you don't invite them in advance, they may have already made their itinerary.

And someone like Wu Yuchen, who won the best director at their Berlin Film Festival, is the right person for their film festival to invite judges.

But this stunned Wu Yuchen...

Invite me to be a judge?

He plans to send Donkey Gets Water to this Berlin Film Festival. Am I judging myself?

If I could really be an actor and a referee at the same time, I would be so unhappy!

Of course, Wu Yuchen also knew that this was a dream, so he could only smile helplessly and said: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to this invitation...

Oh, that's really a pity. In fact, we really hope that Director Wu can serve as a judge this time. Now it seems that we can only invite other people.

Wu Yuchen laughed when he heard this: Yes, you need to hire someone else, because I want to bring the work I spent three years to polish to participate in this Berlin Film Festival~

Huh?! Oh, that's great! Haha, Director Wu, we welcome you to the Berlin Film Festival! After hearing this, the other person was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing.

Now Wu Yuchen is not only the best director in Berlin, but also has two consecutive Hollywood works that have exceeded 100 million in North America. He is also a famous director in the international film industry.

Although the three major European companies have always claimed to stick to European literary and artistic films and oppose Hollywood commercial films, in fact, when major Hollywood directors bring their films to the exhibition, they always welcome them. This is real traffic! Just look at the clearly marked prices on the Cannes red carpet. Who would have trouble with money?

Therefore, for a great director like Wu Yuchen who is not only very successful in business but also has artistic pursuits, he will be welcomed with both hands at any film festival.

Director Wu, you can provide us with your crew members, first-class air tickets, and Aronde Hotel in advance. We will definitely arrange the best treatment for you! There is also competition among the three major directors, so the big directors Everyone who comes to participate will be given the best possible treatment.

I will, and I also hope that my trip to Berlin in a few months will have a successful outcome~

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuchen also laughed. He really didn't expect that the Berlin Film Festival wanted to invite him to be a judge. What a coincidence. But this time he can't go, and he doesn't know who will be invited to fill his place. The Chinese judge on the Berlin jury list in the previous life was Yang Ziqiong. Will it be her this time?

He has not yet interacted with this famous Chinese actress. When she held a celebration party in Hollywood at the beginning of the year, Yang Ziqiong happened to be filming, so she only called Wu Yuchen to congratulate her.

Yang Ziqiong is currently developing much better in Hollywood than Chow Yun-fat, because she has the skills. As soon as she entered Hollywood, she was invited to be the heroine of 007: Tomorrow Never Dies. She is an uncharacteristically hit female Bond girl, with a salary of 2.5 million US dollars. Although the movie ultimately failed at the box office, she also made a big appearance in the movie and found a place in Hollywood.

In fact, it can be seen that it is basically not feasible for Chinese actors in Hollywood to take the acting route. Whether it is the earliest Bruce Lee, or the later Cheng Long or Jet Li, or the hit girl Yeoh Zi-qiong, they all have kung fu and rely on their actions to get ahead. of. For example, Chow Yun-fat relied on his martial arts action in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to make a comeback. His previous films were really successful in Hollywood.

As for Zunlong, although it is a bit unpleasant, it did get the credit of director Bernardo Bertolucci and The Last Emperor, and it has been on a downward trajectory since then. It’s not that his acting skills are not good, but the Chinese are too weak in Hollywood. You can’t get good resources, and the arrogant Americans can’t replace a Chinese male protagonist. Unless it’s a kung fu or martial arts action movie, otherwise it will be a big commercial production. It is basically impossible for a Chinese to be the leading actor.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuchen counted the time. It seems that Cheng Long's Rush Hour will be released in North America soon. It seems that Brother Long will also reach the peak of his life.
