Chapter 440 Movie Universe, Start!

After sending the reply email, Wu Yuan did not receive a reply immediately.

In fact, this is normal.

He did not care whether Chen Kaige would adopt his script modification suggestions or make more commercial modifications to "The Orphan of Zhao" according to his ideas.

Anyway, after sending the email, he called Li Xiaoping and asked her to take over the follow-up contact.

If Chen Kaige is willing to modify it according to this script, Guangying Times will participate in the investment of "The Orphan of Zhao" and become one of the investors.

If Chen Kaige is unwilling to modify it, then this cooperation may not be achieved.

However, Wu Yuan privately thinks that Chen Kaige will not agree to his revised version.

Any director has his own screenwriting style. Chen Kaige is famous for being inexperienced, playful, and stubborn in screenwriting.

When "The Promise" was criticized, Chen Kaige did not think it was because the script was not well written, but because the audience did not understand it and the audience's level was not good.

It can be seen how blindly confident he is in his script.

Even if Wu Yuan was asked to revise the script for him this time, Chen Kaige might not necessarily listen.

This is different from inviting him to shoot "Painted Skin 2".

Wu Yuan, who didn't think this cooperation would work, turned around and put the matter behind him.

Chen Kaige has no shortage of investors, and Guangying Times has no shortage of investment projects.

Guangying Times' movie universe plan has officially started after Wu Yuan held a meeting to discuss it.

Recently, the company's senior management and the screenwriter department have been meeting every day, constantly improving the first phase of the plan, making world views and backgrounds to fill the script, and then there are their own projects to work on.

After Wu Yuan set this development strategy, he did not continue to pay attention to everything, but began to enjoy his holiday life.

At least before June, he could not do any work anymore, and he had to relax.

Liu Yifei was the same. Xianyu Qian wanted to rest more than him, so the couple happily arranged a travel plan.

By the way, Liu Yifei is a person who loves traveling. If she doesn't have work arrangements, she can travel abroad for half a year in a year, and stay at home to read books or sing karaoke for the rest of the time.

Wu Yuan also plans to experience Liu Yifei's rest life this time. He and her booked a South American tour, starting from Cuba, passing through Brazil, Uruguay, Tierra del Fuego, Chile, and then returning to China from Chile. The entire tour is expected to last for two months.

It's a good thing to travel around the world while you are still young.

He doesn't want to wait until he is old and retired to experience a global tour. By that time, he may not have the energy.

However, just when he and Liu Yifei planned the travel arrangements and were about to set off, Wu Yuan received a call from Director Han.

The Golden Rooster Award gave in and passed on the message through Director Han, hoping to invite Wu Yuan to participate in the 2011 Golden Rooster Award.

In fact, the Golden Rooster Award had already given in.

In 2009, when the 27th China Film Golden Rooster Award was held, the Golden Rooster organizer took the initiative to invite Wu Yuan to participate.

The Golden Rooster took the initiative, which was actually a hint to Wu Yuan that the previous conflicts had long been over. He should give Wu Yuan a chance to cooperate. If he comes, we will give him the award.

But at that time, Wu Yuan had just participated in the Venice Film Festival and Paris Fashion Week. The post-production of "Interstellar" had been delayed again and again, and it was already too late to delay it, so he had to go back to the United States to do the post-production.

In addition, the Golden Rooster also hinted to him that the Best Film could not be awarded to him, but to Chen Kaige's "Mei Lanfang" and Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly".

It was given to Chen Kaige because Chen Kaige himself was a member of the Beijing School. After his reputation plummeted after "The Promise", he needed "Mei Lanfang" to redeem his previous shame.

And giving a piece of cake to "Assembly" was also the same as Wu Yuan's situation, and it was also to reconcile with Feng Xiaogang.

It can only be said that the Golden Rooster really offended too many people, and it was a bit too late to reconcile.

In the 2009 Golden Rooster Awards, if Wu Yuan was willing to go, he could only win the Best Director Award.

This made Wu Yuan laugh.

"Li Wen" won the Venice Film Festival's Best Film Award, but you gave me the Best Director Award. Are you trying to make peace with me or to make enemies with me?

Perhaps in the eyes of the big men in the Golden Rooster Organizing Committee, the Golden Rooster Award, which is great, the most powerful in China, and no one can question, is already a face-giving act to you.

But Wu Yuan doesn't care about this face.

The Chinese film industry has been making rapid progress every year in the past ten years. Excellent actors and directors have emerged in an endless stream, and the film market is also booming.

But the Golden Rooster has not kept up with the development trend of mainland films at all, and even has a sense of regression. It has become more and more closed and "niche". The Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards, which are listed as the three major Chinese films, have gradually widened the gap.

It is said that the selection of the Golden Image Awards is too closed and too biased towards Hong Kong films, but compared with the Golden Rooster, it is still a big witch compared to the small witch.

If Wu Yuan remembers correctly, the situation of the Golden Rooster Awards in 2011 was also quite special.

The Best Feature Film Award was not given to the black comedy "The Piano in a Factory" or Feng Xiaogang's "Earthquake", but to "Flying" produced by the August 1st Film Studio, which praises the aerospace industry.

This is understandable, after all, the Golden Rooster Awards have their political significance.

Then the question is, if he is allowed to participate in the 2011 Golden Rooster Awards, what award will the Golden Rooster masters give him?

He doesn’t have any Chinese-language movies planned to be released this year?

"What Golden Rooster means is that they hope you will make a Chinese film this year and next, and then they will send you a double-yolked egg for the best feature film."

Director Han's words on the other end of the phone made Wu Yuan happy on the spot.

"You mean, Golden Rooster wants to give me an award, but because I haven't had a movie released recently, I'm asked to make one right now?"

"Director Han, do you think it is necessary for me to make another movie specifically for a Golden Rooster Award?"

"Is this the golden rooster giving me gold, or am I here to give gold to the golden rooster?"

To put it bluntly, Wu Yuan is now taking his film to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards and winning the Golden Rooster Best Picture Award. It has no value in improving his personal reputation.

On the contrary, for the Golden Rooster, it can allow the Golden Rooster to use Wu Yuan's fame to regain its gold content in the mainland.

Yes, Wu Yuan winning the award can bring gold content to the Golden Rooster.

Because among the many great domestic directors, Wu Yuan has not won the Golden Rooster. He just won a lot of awards abroad. He did not win the Golden Rooster. Is it the Golden Rooster's problem or his problem? Everyone with a discerning mind knows it. .

"Director Han, please thank Jinji for my kindness." Wu Yuan said nonchalantly on the phone: "But I don't have any new movie plans this year."

"There may be one next year, but it will definitely not be made specifically for the Golden Rooster. It will most likely be a commercial film, and I'm afraid it won't be favored by the Golden Rooster."

"This" Director Han said with some hesitation: "Director Wu, we are all Chinese filmmakers, so we still need to maintain unity."

Yes, one sentence directly rises to the point of destroying unity.

Wu Yuan rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky, but he did not back down. He just said in a strong tone: "Let's talk about it next year. I will enjoy a rare vacation."

"Whether you can participate in the Golden Rooster or not depends on fate."

"Hey" He said that this was the end of the matter, and it was hard for Director Han to persuade him. There was no need for him to persuade him, so he could only say with a smile: "Okay."

"Then I wish you, Director Wu, a happy holiday!" (End of Chapter)
