Chapter 165 164. Aspiring to become the best commercial film director in the country

"Director Wei, congratulations on "Those Years" breaking 100 million, and I wish the new film "Silver Driver" will continue to break 100 million!"

"Thank you very much, I wish you good luck."

"Director Wei, congratulations, you will be the fourth largest director in the mainland in the future!"

"I don't deserve it, you are too flattering!"

"Director Wei, you have broken 100 million in your second film, and you will surpass Zhang Yimou in the future. You will be the number one director in the mainland, or no, China, and who else can be better!"

"No, no, you are too flattering! Director Zhang has great achievements and honors, how can a young boy like me compare? I will be satisfied if I can have half of his achievements in the future!"

...

Everyone came forward to congratulate him, and Wei Wu also responded modestly with a smile.

Wei Wu was undoubtedly the absolute protagonist today, the focus of the whole audience. Basically, no matter where he went, everyone's focus was on him. Celebrities and celebrities smiled before they spoke, and came up to chat with him.

At the banquet, the guests and hosts were toasting and having a great time. It was almost time, and at this moment, the hotel waiter pushed a large ice sculpture onto the stage. The base of the ice sculpture was engraved with "Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together", and it was written with "100000000", which was the highlight of today's celebration banquet, "100 million ice breaking"! Of course, this ice sculpture smashing was just a formality, and the main purpose was for reporters to take pictures and publish promotional materials. After all, the box office of "Those Years" has already exceeded 100 million! It's too late to break the ice now! To put it bluntly, today is more of a grand publicity conference than a celebration banquet, and "100 million ice breaking" is a good publicity gimmick. Wei Wu was surrounded by the crowd and came to the temporary small stage amid the applause of the crowd. Huang Bo, who was the guest emcee today, also stuffed him with a small wooden hammer, which was for him to use to break ice cubes later. Others also came on stage one after another. Standing side by side with him were Chen Xiao, Liu Tianxian, Qiao Shan, Yang Mi, Han Sanping and Yu Dong.

Wei Wu stood in the middle of the seven people. On his left and right were Han Sanping and Yu Dong. Outside were Chen Xiao and Liu Tianxian. On the outside were Yang Mi and Qiao Shan.

Wei Wu was originally going to ask his teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang to go up, but Tian Zhuangzhuang insisted on not going, so he had to give up.

It was called knocking the ice sculpture, but in fact it was mainly for taking photos and publishing publicity materials. Everyone stood behind the ice sculpture and posed for photos. Finally, after knocking a few times, the photographer took photos. Basically, it was done!

After this session, as usual, Wei Wu, as the host, had to say a few words.

So the others temporarily left, leaving only Wei Wu to continue to stay. Then, in the expectant eyes of the crowd, Wei Wu took the microphone from Huang Bo, cleared his throat and began to speak: "First of all, thank you very much for coming to support us. We are very lucky that "Those Years" can be loved by the audience and all the friends present. We feel honored. "Those Years" is only my second personal movie. It can be said that I, Wei Wu, am still a primary school student in the film industry. ”

Although he knew he was being modest, the audience still booed him kindly:

“Ah…”

“You are still a primary school student like this, how can we survive?”

“Too modest! You have to be a doctoral supervisor anyway!”

…

Wei Wu put his hands together, bowed to express his gratitude to everyone, and then continued to speak:

“With awe of the big screen, I handed in my second report card with great care. During this period, I have been recognized by some audiences and seniors in the industry. I am deeply honored and flattered.

“Today is a rare day of happiness, and I happen to have such an opportunity. In fact, I also want to talk to you here, why do I want to make commercial films?

“In fact, many people may have heard that my two films have achieved certain box office results, but there are also many criticisms.

“Especially recently, some people have publicly criticized me by name, saying that with my level, I should not be limited to making some popcorn commercial films.

"Instead, we should have higher artistic ambitions, such as making an art film and winning the Golden Bear, Golden Lion, Golden Palm, etc.

"After all, I am still so young, and it is meaningless to keep making such things. It is purely self-degradation and lack of ambition.

"But of course I can't agree with it. Do I make a movie just to travel tens of thousands of kilometers to participate in a film festival?

"Then every time I show it, there are dozens of foreigners sitting below to watch my film, and they are foreign audiences who can't understand Chinese and can't understand my film. Is this meaningful?

"If only the dozen or so foreign judges of the organizing committee like it, and most of the audience are not interested in this movie. Then what's the point of winning an award in the end?

"Who are my movies made for? I always know it in my mind.

"I am a person who loves to be lively and show off. I hope that my expression will be seen by more people, rather than being self-centered and self-admiring.

"What is a good movie? It's very simple. A movie that the audience likes to watch is a good movie.

"I think that no matter what ideology, values, ideas and artistic pursuits a film expresses, it must be something that the audience likes to watch and that is good-looking." "We directors, whether we are making art films or commercial films, must first solve this problem. We cannot blindly pursue publicity effects or so-called artistic influence.

"Master Han often says: Commercial films are the future of Chinese films. I definitely agree.

"As a serious graduate from Nortel, you asked me if I seriously studied the excellent films of the past when I was in school?

"For example, there are some highly regarded classic movies: "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine". They are indeed excellent and have very high artistic value!

"But they belong to the past 20 years, not the next 20 years.

"Sir, times have changed!

“Our country’s economy is developing rapidly and our national strength is growing day by day. Of course, everyone, including our generation of filmmakers, needs to constantly innovate ideas, technologies and methods so that the world can see China’s development and feel the charm of Chinese culture.

“The era of self-enclosure has passed, and now the goal of the new stage of Chinese cinema is to go global and let Chinese culture go global.

“When people all over the world come to enjoy our movies, it will prove that Chinese movies have a strong influence.

“If you want to go global, it’s definitely not possible to rely on artistic films. You can only have a chance with commercial blockbusters.

“As we all know, our country has the largest movie market in the world, and a good movie often has hundreds of millions of viewers.

"After all, we have a population of 1.3 billion. Even if we look at 1% of the population, there are still 13 million people. If the average ticket price of a movie is 30 yuan, that would be a box office of 390 million yuan, which is completely enough to support a large-scale production worth 100 million yuan. .

"Not to mention anything else, the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou alone have a population of 50 to 60 million. There are also more than a dozen first-tier cities with a population of more than 100 million. If you think about it, the potential movie consumer population of more than 100 million is from Hong Kong Island. 15 times, South Korea’s 1.5 times.

“In addition, there are more than 200 medium-sized cities and a rural market with a population of 5.6 billion, which can establish a considerable scale of film consumption system.

"And I believe that with the further development of the economy, the potential customers of our country's film market in the future will definitely be more than 120 million, at least 500 billion, and even the whole people can afford it!

“Our country’s economic growth in recent years is no less than that of Germany and Japan in the 1950s and 1960s. As long as we seize this opportunity, Chinese films will surely have a bright future!

"In addition, I have never been shy about talking about money. After all, in addition to being a director, I am also the boss of a film and television company.

"My identity as a business leader determines my personal nature. Enterprises need to invest and make profits, otherwise the business cannot be maintained, let alone become bigger and stronger.

“If I can’t recoup my investment, I may face bankruptcy, so this determines that we make movies, which is no different from making cars, medicine, or clothing.

"It needs investment, it needs to produce products, it needs to be bought by consumers, it needs to make money, so that we can expand reproduction, produce better products, let more consumers buy them, and then form a virtuous cycle, Huaguo Film will be better.

"I am very grateful that I was born at the dawn of Chinese film's take-off. This is the best era! I am also grateful to have so many potential audiences. This is also the motivation for my creation as a filmmaker.

“But I also always remind myself that only by producing truly good works can we become the protagonist in the market and support the market with good works, otherwise it will all be a bubble.

"Of course, I also know that there are still many regrets in my current works, and I would like to thank everyone for their tolerance. I will do my best to create better works with a humble heart to repay everyone's support and love.

"But my goal will never change, and I will strive to become the best commercial film director in China."

Everyone cheered: "Okay, you are ambitious!"

"Director Wei, I believe you can do what you say!"

"Actually, you already are. In my mind, you are definitely the best commercial film director in China!"

…

In fact, Wei Wu originally wanted to say that he has the whole world, but if he shouts this slogan about his current performance, he will probably be laughed out of his mouth, so he should keep a low profile.

The truck driver is so arrogant and proud. It was only after "Titanic" became the box office champion in film history that he dared to shout out that sentence:

"I am the king of the world!"

Wei Wu finally took the champagne from the table and raised it high to make a toast:

"Finally, I would like to say one more thing: Even if the future of Chinese film is tortuous, the future must be bright!

"thank you all!"

As soon as Wei Wu finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the scene, and some young people even looked at him with a hint of fanaticism.

Especially Han Sanping, the look in his eyes was extremely satisfying. I just had to ask him on the spot if he was interested in taking over my class!
