Millennium director

Lu Taijun caused a stir in the country with the movie "Jinling!" Jinling! 》directly caused his originally good reputation and public impression to plummet to the bottom.

After being miserable, complaining, and crying, Lu Taijun immediately took out his three axes, but the effect didn't seem to be much.

Netizens still scolded him when they deserved it, and not only did they not scold him less, but after seeing Lu Xun crying, he was not only called a "traitor" but also a "coward".

Regarding this kind of thing that he brought upon himself, Wu Yuan's heart did not waver, and he even wanted to laugh.

Without that diamond, don't take this porcelain job.

He could probably understand Lu Xun's thoughts. Lu Xun wanted to look at the inner struggle of an ordinary Japanese person who was coerced by group consciousness from a new perspective in this era.

But can he shoot well?

In other words, from a Chinese perspective, is it necessary to understand and appreciate the "innocent" Japanese soldiers in that massacre?

Are they really innocent?

How dare Lu Xun dare to look at the "beauty of humanity" from the perspective of a Chinese person for the group of enemies who participated in this massacre?

Apart from being sick, Wu Yuan could not find any other words to describe Lu Xun.

A saint like him who is indiscriminate deserves to be scolded, and Wu Yuan is even happy to clap and applaud from the sidelines.

"Don't mention that stupid thing. It's a waste of time." He sneered and stopped Liu Yifei's words, stroking his chin and thinking: "Speaking of which, since the success of "Assembly", the theme of modern war movies in mainland movies has also revived in the past two years. "

China's modern war movies can be said to be the first subject to mature after the founding of New China.

At that time, major studios produced a large number of movies on the themes of resistance to Japan, liberation, and aid to Korea. Movies such as "Railway Guerrilla", "One Hundred Regiments", and "Tunnel War" are all classics among classics.

However, after the 1980s, the number of modern war films in China dropped sharply. This subject quickly cooled down and was no longer a popular subject. After the 1990s, it almost disappeared from the public eye.

It was not until the appearance of "Assembly" that the theme of modern warfare was once again brought back to the audience's attention.

Just "Jinling!" Jinling! 》This piece of rat shit almost spoiled the newly revived Chinese war theme.

"Sissi, what do you think of my next Chinese film, a war-themed film?" Wu Yuan said thoughtfully: "I haven't made a war film yet."

"The theme of modern war can be said to be every man's romance."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei wrinkled her nose: "If it's a man's drama, doesn't that mean there's no room for actresses to perform?"

"Not necessarily." Wu Yuan chuckled: "Can't war movies have female warriors who are as good as women?"

"Your thinking is not correct. The establishment of New China is also the result of the efforts of countless female heroes who shed their lives and blood."

“If I want to make a war movie, there will definitely be excellent female warriors, not all men.

"But, that's all."

Wu Yuan shrugged: "It's difficult to make a good war movie, and the scenes are so grand that I may not be able to grasp them."

The main thing is that there are really very few good Chinese-language war films. "Changjin Lake" is one of them, and Wu Yuan can only think of this one.

Feng Xiaogang's "1942" is indeed quite good, but this movie cannot be regarded as a pure war movie. It is more about describing the struggles of the people of that era.

Wu Yuan wants to make pure war blockbusters, such as "Assembly", "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Saving Private Ryan".

It’s just that there are really few domestic high-quality movies like this pure war movie.

The idea that originally came up randomly turned around and found that I could only find "Changjin Lake". The other movies, whether they were "Above the Cliff" or "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", were more or less flawed.

Not to mention a movie like "The 800" that is also a bit crooked.

Is it possible to create something original on your own?

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan shook his head. Although his ability to write scripts has been improving, he has not yet reached the point where he can independently write excellent scripts or even surpass Lao Mouzi.

"Let's forget it." Wu Yuan said hesitantly: "Let's think about the next movie."

"The company has enough movies to make this year. "Painted Skin 2" directed by Kai Ge, "Along with the Gods" by Zhang Guorong, and "Kung Fu Dream" to be made in the second half of the year. Three movies are enough."

"I'd better wait for my new Chinese film."

While Wu Yuan was talking to Liu Yifei, he was really seriously considering his next movie.

If war movies are difficult to make, then just change the subject.

The current domestic film market can be said to be reaching a new level every year. He must at least maintain the same shooting speed of one Chinese film every two years as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, and cannot keep movie fans waiting for too long.

In 2008, "Gravity" was released, and 2009 was unavailable. So in 2010, there must be a Chinese film.

After filming "Gravity", he probably won't be able to rest, and he still has to make a Chinese film.

"By the way, senior brother." Liu Yifei suddenly slapped her thigh, picked up Wu Yuan's arm and asked, "Is "Li Wen" about to be released in mainland China?"

"This has been dragging on for more than half a year."

"Yes, the schedule has been set." Wu Yuan nodded: "It is set on May 21st, a quite deserted schedule."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The mainland's artistic film market is shrinking so much now."

"Jia Shige's "The Three Gorges" also won the Golden Lion Award, and the mainland box office was only 300,000."

"Although my film is not that bad, it is estimated to be only 10 to 20 million at most. Even Director Han cannot arrange a good schedule for a film of this magnitude."

Wu Yuan shrugged.

Director Han originally prefers commercial films, and with the explosion of the domestic commercial film market in the past few years, he places less and less emphasis on artistic films. Winning awards is worth advocating, but the actual release schedule is not as good as grandma does not love and uncle does not love.

Wu Yuan is also very open-minded. Just like "The Good Man from Three Gorges", the overseas copyright fees for "Li Wen" have long been sold out, and more copies have been sold than "The Good Man from Three Gorges", with a total of more than 60 million, which is already Earn enough.

Even Wu Yuan himself was not very concerned about the mainland release.

"Nowadays, the world is dominated by commercial films. My next film will also have to be a commercial film."

"As for literary films, I would probably only make them if I have the idea of ​​competing for awards."

Wu Yuan sighed with emotion. He still remembered that in the first few years when he first entered the industry, mainland movies were still dominated by literary and artistic films. At that time, the movies that won awards were the most awesome movies and the ones with the best box office results. All directors wanted to do this. Win awards and work hard to make artistic films.

In the blink of an eye, just a few years have passed and everything has changed.

"Actually, I quite like the literary films you make." Liu Yifei hugged Wu Yuan's arm and muttered: "Although the special effects of commercial films are beautiful and the scenes are exciting, the stories are still too simple and not deep enough."

"I just like movies like "Li Wen"."

"I'm still looking forward to becoming a heroine in literary films in the future!"

Wu Yuan had a bit of a smile on his face: "No, you are an artistic young woman, so you just like this tone."

"But before making a literary film, I'd better act in "Interstellar" first."

"We're here, ready to get off the plane."

"My assistant director John has everything ready. The filming will start next week. You have to get out of "Ghost" and get into the role of "Interstellar" as soon as possible."
