Chapter 376
Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan knew what Wu Yuchen was thinking: "What are you looking at? Is there anything good to see?"
But Wu Yuchen didn't want to give up, and said seriously: "Being an actor requires professionalism. Now I can help you give advice so that you can perform better. There are so many actresses across the country who want me to give advice and I haven't had the chance~"
Gao Yuanyuan looked at Wu Yuchen suspiciously, wrinkled his little nose and said: "Then it's agreed, you can only watch, you can't move!"
Wu Yuchen quickly agreed: "Okay, okay!"
A moment later, when Wu Yuchen saw Gao Yuanyuan coming out wearing a pure white nurse uniform, his eyes lit up. Gao Yuanyuan was originally a pure person, but when she put on a white nurse uniform and had the aura of an angel in white, she looked even more gentle and lovely, making people's eyes brighter.
Gao Yuanyuan walked around in front of Wu Yuchen and asked with a smile: "How was it?"
Wu Yuchen couldn't help but nodded: "Not bad, not bad! Beautiful, generous, pure and lovely, I fall in love with her as soon as I see her!"
Then he added: "But you can't tell by just looking at it, you have to practice it!"
Doubts appeared in Gao Yuanyuan's eyes? Practical?
Wu Yuchen explained: "Injection~ This is a necessary skill for nurses!"
Gao Yuanyuan hummed and said: "Okay! If you are not afraid of pain, I will give you an injection!"
After saying that, she turned around to get the syringe. In order to practice, she actually got a syringe at home.
Then as soon as she turned around, Wu Yuchen held her waist from behind. Wu Yuchen was seen sticking closely behind her, leaning into her ear and whispering: "Sister nurse, why are you going? I want to get an injection now~"
Gao Yuanyuan had already felt Wu Yuchen pressing against her and knew what injection he was talking about. She couldn't help but said softly: "I hate you~"
Wu Yuchen hugged her and said: "Sister nurse, I have a sudden illness and the heat is unbearable. An injection can solve it~"
As the two of them struggled with each other, the fight had begun...
The turmoil caused by "Steamed Buns" is really quite big. Although this first-generation Chinese-language ghost animal video is quite immature, it is only 2006. To say that Hu Ge is still very talented. After more than 10 years, it will only have this amount of traffic. To become a big internet celebrity, it’s a pity that his traffic will only land him a lawsuit!
Although Hu Ge did not use the video for commercial purposes, the angry Kaizi still threatened to take him to court. Kaizi, who was always so cheerful in the past, really failed this time and clamored to go to court with Hu Ge for defamation. If you prosecute him, he will never give up!
But Kaizi obviously did not expect this follow-up reaction. Netizens all over the Internet initiated a vote. More than 95% of netizens supported Hu Ge. More than 100,000 netizens initiated a joint signature, believing that Hu Ge brought them pure and simple joy. Ge is innocent!
Reporters are also good at making things happen, and they interviewed various celebrities and directors in the industry on this matter. Naturally, Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi, who came together to study the second-round Olympic campaign, were the focus of reporters. Now that they get together every day, they are inevitably blocked.
"Director Zhang, I wonder if you have watched "Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun"?"
I saw Lao Mouzi showing a slightly embarrassed smile: "A friend recommended it to me."
"Then how did you feel after reading it?"
Lao Mouzi chuckled: "I just feel very happy."
"Director Zhang, what do you think about prank movies? Do you mind if your movie is pranked?"
I saw Lao Mouzi with a very honest and honest smile and waved his hand: "I don't mind, I will have fun with the people~"
Bang bang bang, when Chen Kaizi saw this interview with Lao Mouzi, he was so angry that he clapped his hands on the table and turned red.
Damn you, you old trickster, what do you mean? ! You are mocking me for being small-minded and incapable of rejoicing with the people!
Damn, I usually pretend to be quite honest, but now I'm going to stab Brother Kai with a knife, you're really good!
But what attracted more attention was Wu Yuchen’s attitude towards this matter. During the interview, he smiled and said:
"I think it's quite interesting and entertaining to adapt movies online. Internet culture also reflects the attitude of today's young people. We should take it seriously and pay attention to create more good works.
In fact, it is nothing new for movies to be parodied. "Jurassic Park" has also been spoofed, and even Hollywood has a special spoof movie "Scream" series. As far as I know, "Infernal Affairs" has been parodied in many funny versions in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past two years.
lawsuit? I think Director Chen would not make such a fuss, he should still have this magnanimity. Unless the producers want to use this to create hype. "
Wu Yuchen's words can be regarded as speaking for Hu Ge overtly or covertly, and he advised Kaizi to be tolerant. At the same time, he also mentioned a problem, that is, if you, Chen Kaizi, really continue to sue, you will be riding on Hu Ge's popularity to hype your own movie.
This is not a joke. Think about it, "Steamed Buns" only became a big hit three weeks after "The Promise" was released. At that time, "The Promise" actually had almost the box office potential, but the popularity of "Steamed Buns" made "The Promise" more topical It has been at a high level in the past month, and it has attracted a group of people to the cinema, which has helped you increase the box office of your movie. You have to thank others, but you Chen Kaizi still took advantage of it and acted well!
In fact, Wu Yuchen was kind of reminding Kaizi that you can still save yourself some respect without fighting this lawsuit. If you really follow the lead, your reputation will be completely ruined.
When Chen Kaige saw Wu Yuchen's words, he just felt that it was over, and he had to bear this loss...
Sure enough, after Wu Yuchen spoke, many media and film critics who had previously been embarrassed by Chen Kaizi’s face stood up, and even many colleagues in the industry, such as Cui Jian and Lu Chuan, also made comments, saying that Chen Kaizi was out of date, could not keep up with the times, was narrow-minded, too serious, overreacted, etc. This pushed the matter to a climax, making the "Mantou Blood Case" a phenomenal topic.
Some lawyers who wanted to gain fame took the initiative to stand up and said that they would provide free legal assistance to Hu Ge and fight Chen Kaizi and his wife to the end!
Even Chen Kaizi’s ex-wife Hong Huang, who had been divorced for many years, sharpened her knife and wrote an article titled "Ex-husband and Mantou" on her blog, "Because my ex-husband and a mantou are not satisfied, all my friends have been making fun of me without restraint this week... I can't even fit a mantou, isn't it obvious that I have become petty."
This time, Chen Kaizi was caught in a situation where he was surrounded by enemies. When a reporter went to interview him again, Kaizi didn't want to talk anymore. He was so annoyed by the harassment that he said, "I don't want to pay attention to those boring people."
After that, he didn't speak again and became an ostrich.
Hu Ge stood up and thanked everyone for their support. At the same time, he apologized to Chen Kaizi again, saying that it was his disrespect for his work that caused a series of consequences and he felt deeply guilty towards Chen Kaizi. I have to say that this guy is also very smart. This also gave Chen Kaizi a way out, and he also got a good reputation among the public.
This farce ended like this in the end, and Chen Kaizi didn't really sue anymore. After all, everyone stood on Hu Ge's side. If he really sued, even if he won the lawsuit, he would lose more. Even if he won the lawsuit against Hu Ge, could he still sue so many people together?
In fact, although the popularity of "Mantou" earned more box office this time, his reputation accumulated over the past decades was lost. The high-ranking signboard of Director Chen in the hearts of the public was trampled once, and it will not be so useful in the future.
But there is no way, Chen Kaizi can only swallow this breath, the situation is stronger than people!
In the final analysis, he made the movie "The Promise" like that, and did so much publicity in advance, which is equivalent to exchanging his own credibility and signboard for the existing box office. This result is also self-inflicted.
Wu Yuchen only accepted that one interview. This time he returned and put most of his energy into the Olympic plan. He even temporarily ignored the preparations for "Sword Rain".
On January 24, the Olympic Organizing Committee held the second round of plan competition at the Beijing International Convention Center. There were five teams participating in the competition. In addition to Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi's team, there were Li An's Gehua team, the People's Army team, the National Song and Dance Troupe and the Central Mother Joint Team, and the only foreign team, the French ECA2 team.
Of these four teams, the People's Army team and the National Song and Dance Troupe and the Central Government Joint Team are definitely the strongest in terms of connections. However, this Olympics is of great importance, and the higher-ups are watching. Even the strongest connections are of little use, unless your proposal is really on par with others, and they will consider you more when it is difficult to choose.
In terms of content, the most threatening team should be Li An's Gehua team. After all, Li An is really capable. He has a deep understanding of traditional culture, and his team is also full of talented people, such as the famous architect Lin Ying, Lin Huiyin's niece, and Michelle, the chief producer of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and Dickinson, the lighting designer of the 2004 Athens Olympics, who have added experience to this team.
Moreover, compared with the first round, the second round of proposals of the other four teams have improved a lot. After all, they have already entered the finals, and they must have been striving for excellence in the past few months, hoping to win. Wu Yuchen and Lao Mouzi had already made the content of the entire plan relatively complete in the first round. This time, they focused on the overall completion, how to distribute and combine tradition and modernity, and how to unify the nation and the world.
In general, while the other companies were still working hard on creativity and content, Wu Yuchen and his team were already making further considerations.
After completing the second round of presentations, Wu Yuchen also stretched his waist and said to Lao Mouzi with a smile: "Finally, one thing has been temporarily settled, and you don't have to worry about it all day long!"
Lao Mouzi also nodded and responded: "Whether it can be selected or not, let's wait for the final result!"
Then Wu Yuchen asked Lao Mouzi: "Brother Zhang, how is your "A Thousand Miles Alone" going?"
Lao Mouzi smiled and said: "It's going well. It was finished two weeks ago."
This film took nearly 3 months to shoot, which is not short for an art film.
"Brother Zhang, which film festival are you going to attend?"
As a pure art film, "A Solo Journey" must go to the film festival to win awards.
Lao Mouzi thought for a while and said, "I guess the time is a bit tight in Cannes, but Venice and Berlin should be in time. Let's see how it goes then."
In his previous life, because Lao Mouzi was invited by the Tokyo Film Festival to serve as the chairman of the jury in 2005, and considering that the lead actor Ken Takakura is Japanese, his "A Solo Journey" was not screened at the festival and did not participate in the awards, and therefore did not participate in the three major European festivals.
But it is already 2006 now. Lao Mouzi also went to the Tokyo Film Festival last year. This year's "A Thousand Miles Alone" will definitely go to the three major festivals.
It was at the 18th Tokyo Film Festival in 2005 that Jin Yaqin, the old lady in "The Two of Us", won the Best Actress Award. Although her own performance is completely capable of winning this award, it must be said that Lao Mouzi, as the chairman of the jury, must have played a role.
From this point of view, Lao Mouzi really takes care of the people in the Chinese film industry. Almost every time he serves as a judge, Chinese films can win awards. The biggest beneficiary is Li An.
Wu Yuchen smiled and said with a hint of meaning: "Some time ago, I promised Koslick from Berlin to be a judge of the Berlin jury next year. Brother Zhang has a good film coming out, so you must go to support him when the time comes!"
Lao Mouzi understood immediately after hearing this. Wu Yuchen said that he would support him, and he was just short of saying that I would take care of you if you go. He immediately said, "Oh, then I will definitely attend the Berlin Film Festival!"
It is obvious that with Wu Yuchen as a judge, the chances of "A Thousand Miles Alone" winning the grand prize are much higher. Although Zhang Yimou is honest, he is not stupid. He will definitely take advantage of such an obvious opportunity.
Wu Yuchen also smiled when he heard this. This is normal. I believe that in addition to him, some other judges will also invite domestic films to participate in the screening. The judges use their own influence to invite some excellent films to participate in the film festival, which is what the organizers of the film festival are happy to see.
The three major film festivals themselves have competition. Only with more excellent films and more famous filmmakers can the influence of the film festival be enhanced. Directors of the level of Lao Mouzi are what the three major European films want to invite. The organizers of the Berlin Film Festival must be happy that Wu Yuchen can pull him over.
As for whether there will be selfishness when selecting, we must believe in the professionalism of the judges! Anyway, Wu Yuchen is still somewhat confident in his influence and ability to fight!
This year's Spring Festival time slot is almost monopolized by one movie, Jet Li's "Huo Yuanjia"!
