Chapter 338 Chen Family Conversation

The movie "The Promise" can be said to be Chen Kaige's lifelong pain, even more painful than "The Emperor and the Assassin".

Although the box office of "The Promise" was really good back then, it did not make back its investment and its reputation was badly criticized.

Over the years, Chen Kaige has been repeatedly criticized on the Internet. Whenever he is mentioned, movie fans always criticize "The Promise".

It is impossible to say that he has no grudges in his heart!

With Chen Kaige's arrogant personality, he must be very angry. He thinks about how to avenge his previous shame every day.

It's just that he is a bit overwhelmed by the theme of "magic".

Until now, he still thinks that his "The Promise" is well shot, but the audience does not know how to appreciate it. The aesthetic level of this audience is not good.

Then the problem comes. He is such a director with "high-level expression". It is unrealistic for him to cater to the "low-level" audience. He can't write a script to cater to this audience.

Now it was a coincidence. Wu Yuan was really good at writing scripts that the audience liked. He was a professional in this area.

Although Chen Kaige was arrogant, he was not arrogant. He knew that Wu Yuan was very good at commercial films. He was a director who was good at both art and business.

"Painted Skin 2?" Chen Kaige hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

He had plenty of time now. Although the project of "The Orphan of Zhao" had already taken shape, the script and preparatory work were being done, but it was still too early for the project to be officially launched. It would take at least half a year before the project was officially launched.

It was still in time to change the plan now.

However, he could not agree to it just based on Wu Yuan's empty words.

"Let's take a look at the script first." After thinking about it, Chen Kaige replied ambiguously.

Wu Yuan did not expect to really talk it over in one go. He smiled and nodded: "I will have someone send the script later."

He believed that the script of the second part would impress Chen Kaige.

Although "Painted Skin" was a commercial film, its core was still quite profound.

Unlike 1, 2 is more about human nature in addition to love.

The theme of "Painted Skin 2" is actually to throw a question to the audience.

"Do you love someone for their inner heart or their appearance?"

Princess Jing envies Xiao Wei for having a beautiful skin, and Xiao Wei envies that humans don't have to eat human hearts and don't have to endure the extreme cold.

They both want to be each other, so a series of stories happen.

In addition to love, this movie also throws out another topic.

After Princess Jing and Xiao Wei successfully changed their skins, they found out how good their original identities were.

After Xiao Wei became Princess Jing, she was married to Tianlang Country. In the face of humiliation, she subconsciously used her magic, and found out how helpless she was as a human being when facing danger.

After Princess Jing became Xiao Wei, after the initial joy, she found that her eyebrows were only temporary. In order to maintain her beautiful skin, she had to keep eating human hearts. The world seemed to have turned black and white in her eyes, and the only color was the beating hearts in the human chest.

In the end, the story returned to the starting point.

The heart eaten must be returned, and the heart obtained in exchange is lost again, and the skin obtained in exchange is uglier than the original one.

This story tells the audience another truth.

"Everyone always envies what others have, but rarely finds that what they have is also beautiful."

The exchange of identities between a human and a demon brings a thought-provoking story.

Wu Yuan personally feels that "Painted Skin 2" is more profound than the first one, and it can be said that it has dug deeper into the story of "Painted Skin".

Therefore, the box office and reputation of "Painted Skin 2" after its release are not much inferior to the first one.

It's a pity that this series only made the second part. Obviously, if it maintains this reputation, it can continue to produce sequels. I don't know whether the actors failed to reach an agreement or the investors made some trouble.

In this life, Wu Yuan did not find Zhao Junqi, and the biggest conflict between the two female protagonists should not happen again. Then maybe Guangying Times can continue to make the third part after the second part.

However, this has to be considered after the success of the second part.

After finishing the business, Wu Yuan was not in a hurry to leave. He talked with Chen Kaige about the development of the film and television industry and some anecdotes in the circle. He also stayed at Chen Kaige's house for lunch.

It was also during the meal that Wu Yuan felt what an old-school literati was.

It turned out that Chen Kaige's appearance in the variety show was not fake.

Although real life is not as exaggerated and fake as in the variety show recording, Chen Kaige's family does have strict family education.

The two children are only in their early teens, and the youngest is less than ten years old. They are very sensible when eating. Not only do they sit in a very image-filled posture, but they also respect their elders. After Chen Kaige picked up his chopsticks, they started eating.

They ate in harmony, and they showed "not talking while eating" vividly. At first glance, they are children of a rich family.

This made Wu Yuan, who grew up in a hutong courtyard, look very novel.

He was very curious, did these two little guys not have a naughty childhood?

He was even more curious, how could a child who was brought up under such strict family education later start to play with fans?

Could it be that Chen Kaige suppressed their personalities when they were minors, which made Chen Feiyu let go of herself immediately after entering the circle and becoming independent?

While thinking about it, Wu Yuan also imitated Chen Kaige's manners and ate the food quietly.

Not to mention, it was delicious.

It was obvious that Chen Kaige's family had hired a great live-in chef.

No, no, no, no one would think that Chen Hong is a beautiful cook.

"Ahem." After a while, Chen Kaige, who had almost finished eating, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with the restaurant, looked at Wu Yuan, and said, "Director Wu, what do you think of my youngest son Feiyu?"

Why did you bring this up?

Wu Yuan glanced at Chen Feiyu, who was eating quietly with his head down, and said with a smile, "The son trained by Director Kaige is of course very good. He is the most well-behaved and well-mannered child I have ever seen at this age."

When he heard him praise his child, although he knew it was a bit polite, Chen Kaige still smiled.

"Haha, Director Wu, you're too kind."

"It's like this. Although Feiyu is still very young, he already has his own dreams."

"He also wants to be an actor in the future and wants to enter the entertainment industry."

"You also know that those of us in the industry don't have a good opinion of this industry, and we don't want our children to enter this industry, but the children have dreams, and as elders, we still have to support them."

"So I'm going to put down my face and ask Director Wu for a favor."

"If your movies or your company have any projects in the future, and you need a child actor like Feiyu's age, I hope you can consider our Feiyu."

"Of course, under the right circumstances."

Feeling several expectant eyes, whether it was Chen Kaige, Chen Hong, or the little Chen Feiyu who was eating, they all looked over with expectation.

Wu Yuan thought for a moment, since he needed help now.

"No problem, if the company needs a young actor of this age, I will definitely choose Feiyu first. I also like this child, he is sensible!"

Wu Yuan raised his head, smiling brightly.
