Chapter 166 165. The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside

Wei Wu had just attended the "Crazy Stone" celebration party in the morning, and then returned to Yinchuan non-stop in the afternoon.

Although I definitely won’t be able to catch up today, I can still catch up with tomorrow’s shooting after a night’s rest.

When we had dinner together in the evening, Liu Tianxian was not in a hurry to eat. He took his chopsticks and couldn't help but asked with some concern:

"Um, are you okay?"

Wei Wu put the vegetables in his bowl, put a handful of bean sprouts in his mouth, chewed them and said:

"No, what can happen to me?"

Liu Tianxian carefully observed his face and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he hesitated and said:

"But today... there are many people... scolding you in the newspapers!"

Wei Wu continued to show off his rice without even blinking:

"Just scold me! I have a lot of meat! As long as I don't seek death, the only thing that can shake my career now is that there is only one possibility, that is, the new film will fail miserably in terms of reputation and box office.

"It doesn't hurt if someone scolds me a few times, but what can it do to me?"

Wei Wu's remarks at the celebration banquet of "Those Years" naturally made the front pages of major media the next day.

Especially his statement that he has become the best commercial film director in China has naturally attracted a lot of controversy.

Many people criticized him for daring to shout such slogans after only two movies. He was too arrogant and underestimated the world's heroes!

What's more, your movie box office has not surpassed Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, so why do you think you are the best commercial film director in China?

Of course, what is more controversial is what he said, "Commercial films are the future." This naturally attracted strong dissatisfaction from many fans of artistic films and seniors in the industry.

At the current stage, although commercial films have begun to rise and are developing in full swing, to be honest, they are not yet absolutely mainstream. Although literary films are being squeezed out of the market by commercial films, they still have a strong basic base.

You must know that even when Lao Mouzi made "Hero", although it ushered in the era of blockbusters, his own reputation in the literary and art circles also declined.

At that time, many die-hards criticized him for being kitsch and decadent, and for losing the artistic pursuit of a director.

Later, one or two famous directors came to shoot commercial blockbusters, and gradually these words were mentioned less and less!

But Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige did this at most, but they didn't shout slogans as clearly as Wei Wu!

Anyway, I had nothing to do, so Wei Wu asked around casually:

"Then what are they scolding me for?"

Liu Tianxian was a little surprised: "Ah, didn't you see it?"

Wei Wu said confidently: "I know people are going to scold me, but I still go to see it? Am I just making a fool of myself?"

If it were before, Liu Tianxian wouldn't even know what "shame" is, but after being in contact with Wei Wu for a long time, of course he already knows these words by heart.

Liu Tianxian carefully considered his words and said, "Well, they said you don't respect your predecessors. You don't mean what you say, and you don't seem to value the three major film festivals. It's obviously..."

Wei Wu guessed it directly: "You can't eat grapes and say they are sour?"

Liu Tianxian nodded solemnly, and Wei Wu sneered:

"That's it? With just a little bit of aggression, you can't even break through my defense!

"To be honest, I don't care much about the three major film festivals."

This was indeed what Wei Wu was thinking, but there was still something he had not said.

Those are the three major European film festival awards, and several mainland directors have already won them!

People like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige already have them. The first one is certainly valuable, but the second one is definitely not that valuable!

It's no longer the second one now, it's not even the third one anymore.

In addition to them, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Xie Fei, Li Eucalyptus, Jia Zhangke, and Tsai Ming-liang have all won the Golden Bear Award.

If you include the Silver Bear and Best Director, the number can double.

The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

After all, Wei Wu is still so young. Awards will come sooner or later. Wei Wu is not in a hurry.

Cameron also didn't win the top three, but does this affect his fame and status?

He will definitely stick to making commercial films now and in the future, because this is his signature.

In short, it is impossible for him to make a literary film specifically for a certain award. That is not his style of doing things, and it also damages his strong character as a reborn person.

Before he was reborn, Wei Wu was not very interested in literary and artistic films. It was not his cup of tea at all. In his previous life, he didn't even talk about making literary films, so it's certainly not possible in this life!

Even if it is to win awards or something, he will choose to use a high-quality commercial film to win, instead of using an opportunistic literary film to do so.

Wei Wu ate up the rice in the bowl with three strokes, then put the bowl down, took out a paper towel, wiped his mouth and said:

"Did Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige say anything?"

Liu Tianxian shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like that. But there are many people using them as rafts to criticize you..."

Liu Tianxian said and suddenly glanced at him suspiciously:

"Why do you seem a little disappointed? Did you deliberately mention that "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine" are outdated just to seduce them into a verbal spat with you?"

"You can teach me," Wei Wu looked at her with satisfaction and said:

"Yeah, I just want them to have a verbal spat with me.

"After all, my new film "Silver Driver" will be released at the end of the month. If they want to start a verbal war with me at this time, I really want it!"

It's a pity that these two seniors don't seem to be very wise!

The main reason is that they have no new movies released recently! Therefore, I have no interest in accompanying Wei Wu to bicker and heat up the situation. If the two of them also have a new movie released, maybe they can play a tacit understanding game or something...

But we can't blame them, mainly the two of them, after all, they are not very strong supporters of artistic films.

Although the two of them did start out with literary films in the past, they have recently begun to transition to commercial blockbusters, which has caused some criticism.

At this time, he stood up to accuse Wei Wu, and since his butt was not that clean, he might not be a human being inside and out.

What's more, Wei Wu's development momentum is so strong now, and Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have been around for so many years, unless their core interests are involved. Otherwise, why would you want to be against him for ordinary things?

Liu Tianxian put his hand on his forehead and suddenly realized: "So you said that on purpose yesterday. Did you just want to cause controversy and discussion, and then increase your exposure?"

Wei Wu admitted it directly: "Yes, without controversy, where will the traffic come from? Without traffic, where will the exposure come from? Without exposure, where will the attention come from?

"After all, in the movie "Silver Driver", none of the actors have any appeal. Basically, the box office appeal all depends on me.

"In other words, the increase in my exposure and attention is equivalent to the increase in the exposure and attention of this movie!"

"In addition, because I have to make this movie, I won't be able to do the large-scale road show like before. At most, it will only be a week before the release, and I will go to a few large ticket-rich cities. "

In the past, Wei Wu ran nationwide road shows, mainly because he was not famous enough at that time, so he needed to do this to increase his exposure.

But now that he has enough exposure, there is no need to work so hard!

What's more, the starring cast of "Silver Driver" doesn't have any popular stars, and they are all crooked. They have completely different styles from the handsome men and beautiful women of Chen Xiao and Liu Tianxian before.

Even if there is an offline road show interaction, to be honest, it is estimated that audiences everywhere will not be particularly enthusiastic.

"No wonder you can become a great director at such a young age." Liu Tianxian was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said:

"The city is full of tricks, I want to go back to the countryside!"

Wei Wu answered casually: "The countryside is not shallow either, so we should make do with it."

Liu Tianxian: "..."
