To be honest, this surprised Su Yi.
Jiang Wen is a proud director and very talented.
Works such as Let the Bullets Fly are all good movies.
Compared to Chen Kaige, Su Yi was a little more polite to Jiang Wen.
If it weren't for that hermaphrodite, my cooperation with Jiang Wen might have been possible earlier.
"Okay, I have time tonight, let's talk."
Filmmaking is not a one-person affair.
With the help of an assistant director, the process can be completed faster and more carefully.
After all, Su Yi has no experience in making movies.
The most important thing is that his attitude is very low when he comes up.
Su Yi looked at the time. He originally wanted to go home and head to Bangzi Country in a few days.
When it came time to shoot the movie this time, Su Yi had already made a plan.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I always wanted to talk about movies and art, but it was ruined by some vulgar people."
Jiang Wen looked at Su Yi with sigh in his eyes.
When I first met him, he was just getting along well within the system.
Unexpectedly, when we meet again, the Magnolia Awards will publicly apologize, Soldiers Assault will become popular all over the country, and the copyright fees sold are even higher than the box office of the movies they filmed.
5 million per episode!
This matter has exceeded their current knowledge.
Only the Romance of the Three Kingdoms filmed by director Wang Fulin had such ability.
This time, Wang Fulin's disguised soldiers attacked, but unexpectedly, director Wang Fulin got a perfect result.
He originally wanted to help Su Yi, but he was able to fulfill himself.
The layman in Jiang Wen's mouth might be Chen Kaige or Squad Leader Lu.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
It's all in the past. Squad Leader Lu has been here for three years, and it's hard to get into any industry when he comes out.
"I also wanted to have a good chat with you before -"
"There is something wrong with the recent movies in our country. They are not commercial, and they are not literary. They said they wanted to catch up with the movies in Hong Kong, but they were fucked before liberation."
Jiang Wen was not polite when he spoke, and what he meant in his words was Chen Kaige.
"Several movies directed by Director Feng also received good reviews last year and the box office was not low."
"It's not that I look down on Feng Pong's photos. He has a bit of talent, but his artistic level can be seen at a glance. I never speak ill of others behind their backs. If he were here, I would speak even more harshly."
Jiang Wen lit a cigarette and signaled to Su Yi.
Su Yi shook his head and signaled that he would not smoke.
It is said that Jiang Wen is stubborn and arrogant.
When I was filming Capital Man in New York, I made a bet with the crew and Feng Xiaogang helped.
Said Jiang Wen remembered it wrong.
Jiang Wen said it was definitely right.
For this reason, Feng Xiaogang took the crew to a video rental place to buy DVDs.
The results confirmed that Jiang Wen was right.
Feng Xiaogang and the crew were embarrassed to go back and waited until midnight.
Later I discovered that no one on the crew was sleeping.
Jiang Wen didn’t say much.
"Don't argue with me when you're not sure, especially about movies!"
Later, Feng Xiaogang himself said that he wanted to see Jiang Wen make a mistake, but he didn't. Instead, if he told Jiang Wen anything in the future, he would be right.
He is a somewhat paranoid person, but he is very serious about movies.
Another paranoid person is director Zhou Xingchi.
No matter how popular you are, the movies are excellent.
When Squad Leader Lu wanted to learn from Jiang Wen, he was cautious.
Su Yi himself was a little surprised to find Su Yi with such an attitude now.
Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so polite to yourself just because of this achievement.
"Don't hide it, Director Chen Kaige has already beaten you. Are you still afraid of Feng Pants?"
Jiang Wen was joking.
He is indeed a somewhat unique person in the director circle.
But the first batch of Beijing-based directors all had this bad temper.
They are all talented people, regardless of their background, and they must have some personality of their own.
"It's not about being afraid. After all, you are all seniors in the film industry."
Su Yi smiled.
He studied under Wang Fulin, so naturally he had to add the word "movie circle", otherwise he would be demoted.
"How many times does a talented person have the chance to shoot a soldier's assault? How many movies have you surpassed? If this war scene is placed in a movie theater, it will definitely be better than Wuji."
Jiang Wen's offbeat compliment made Su Yi very comfortable.
"I'm going too far. I think that nowadays, the movies in Dragon Kingdom are too literary and artistic, and the commercial ones are too commercial, and the polarization is serious. If this continues, commercials will definitely take the lead, and slowly, they will all make movies for the sake of making money - —I mean, over-commercialization just to cater to the market.”
Jiang Wen's face turned serious.
This time we really just discussed the movie, before we just made random comments.
Su Yi also became serious.
He knows that there are some directors in Long Kingdom who think about hidden rules and making money every day.
But there are also some directors who really want to develop films in Dragon Kingdom.
Han Sanping is also considered one, but it is within the system and has too many rules and regulations.
Su Yi nodded and looked at it from the perspective of a time traveler.
Since Farewell My Concubine, there have been no good literary films.
In recent years, in order to cater to literary and artistic tastes, some films have achieved success such as Raise the Red Lantern, Heroes, House of Flying Daggers, etc.
There are also bad movies like The Promise.
Whether you admit it or not, literature and art are the mainstream today.
How classic was "Westward Journey" back then?
But it was also a box office flop, not artistic enough, and not entirely commercial enough. Although it was a classic, it still became popular in later generations.
Because of the filming of this movie, even Stephen Chow's Color Star Company went bankrupt.
Jiang Wen has not made any movies hastily in recent years.
It's because the current market is not fully understood.
He disdained films that were too commercial.
Those who are artistic may not be able to afford a meal.
In the deformed mode, there are many deformed movies.
The Korean wave is now rampant, not to mention some major foreign productions.
It is a normal development history to imitate and surpass, so it is not wrong to have such an idea.
Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine in 2000, one of which was more focused on martial arts and humanities, and the other on commercial arts, both achieved impressive results.
This is the movie Jiang Wen longs for.
Rather than just making money.
To put it simply, he is an ideal director.
Su Yi sighed.
In fact, the subsequent development may have disappointed Jiang Wen.
Few films have won more international awards than these two.
Not even Heroes and House of Flying Daggers.
The market in later generations has also completely changed, adopting the domestic commercial model.
One film has a box office of more than one billion, several billion.
However, it can be considered that domestic films have reached glory, and the models are different and cannot be compared.
"Director Jiang Wen, I know what you mean."
Su Yi was moved by Jiang Wen's words.
It just so happened that Jiang Wen was also good at this kind of movie, so he was asked to be his assistant director and someone who could add details.
I have changed the entertainment in this time and space, and made the hottest programs like Dianzhi come out.
A movie might be able to change Jiang Wen's future development model.
This is a guy with potential.
To be honest, there is no discrimination against Chinese-language films abroad. It does not mean that Long Guo has to expose his own ugliness in order to win awards.
Their own satirical movies such as Forrest Gump and The Shawshank Redemption are easy to win awards for.
But the current environment does not allow too many satirical movies.
Especially modern.
So Jiang Wen has been silent.
This time I heard that Su Yi was going to film a movie in Bangzi Country, so he volunteered, or even worked as an assistant director for a 'junior'.
Because the scale of Bangzi Country is larger, and after filming, domestic review will not be too difficult.
"Director Jiang Wen, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Su Yi stretched out his hand.
"Create brilliance together!"
Jiang Wen had a delighted smile on his face.
At this moment, the two understood each other's meaning.
·····
"My son is going to Bangzi Country, we'd better help prepare."
Mother Su was a little worried, but she also knew that this time it was for filming a movie.
"It's okay. People from the government are following us. Isn't it invested by China Film Group this time? The itinerary should be arranged."
Su's father was worried in his heart, but he still didn't want to say it out loud.
A father's 'stubbornness'.
"You are just being stubborn, otherwise we should take out our savings. My son also has to spend money when he goes out. Why should we keep those millions? Aren't we still keeping them for our son to find a wife?"
Mother Su suddenly said.
"Yes, that's true. Now my son is considered a famous person. The Feitian Award and the Magnolia Award have a lot of bonuses. Give some to your son. He is also an adult, and he earned all the money."
Things are unpredictable. At first, neighbors said it was difficult for the director to make money at the beginning. He did not expect that he would reach the top of his life so quickly.
Nowadays, let alone wealth and freedom, we are at least a little wealthy.
"Okay, I'll pick it up tomorrow. Such a famous director can't let people laugh at him."
Mother Su's face was filled with joy when she mentioned her son.
Not only the neighbors, but also the whole street knew Su Yi's name.
Even if you don't know the name, you at least know his works.
"What's wrong, Mom? Are you rummaging through boxes and cabinets? Are you moving? I've told you a long time ago that I'm going to buy a new house."
After Su Yi finished chatting with Jiang Wen, it was completely dark and all three episodes of Soldier Attack had been played.
Seeing the old couple busy, Su Yi asked curiously.
"What kind of house should I buy——"
This old couple doesn't know how to move.
In their words, they have lived here for half their lives.
They are all old neighbors. Before, they were 'suppressed' by Lao Zhang's family, but now his son has finally made a career.
Definitely need to blow it off.
"Then what is this for?"
Su Yi hesitated.
This huge sum of 13 million yuan was already given to Jiang Wen before he went to see him.
This shows how eager the soldiers are to attack the advertisers.
Withdraw money from the check and deposit it directly into the bank card.
Looking at the long series of zeros, even Su Yi was a little excited.
13 million!
Even though I earned it through my own skills, it still feels a bit unreal.
No wonder so many talented people have broken away from the system. Directors of Zheng Xiaolong's level may not have more than this kind of money.
With money, I feel that my social status has improved a lot, and it is normal to not want to be controlled by the system.
But how to tell your parents?
"Son, are you sure when you want to leave?"
"Yes, it's confirmed. The ticket is for the day after tomorrow, and the passport just came out today."
The crew was also waiting for Su Yi's passport.
Others are like Liu Yifei, whose passport is almost full of customs stamps.
"Tomorrow I will withdraw money for you. Although it is the day of death, you must withdraw it. Don't worry about the money when you get there. After all, your status is different now - when you went to buy vegetables today, the old man who sold the pork still refused. The money reminded him of his time as a soldier, and he said thank you to Director Su Yi for making such a classic TV series. But I still gave it to him in the end."
Father Su said with a smile.
give me money?
Oh, yes, some of the two TV drama awards were divided among the crew, and the rest were all given to the parents.
Su Yi is not short of money either.
I almost forgot.
I have also been too busy recently.
"Mom and Dad, I have enough money and I just got paid."
Su Yi smiled.
Let’s talk about it after we get back, otherwise this number is quite scary.
"Your salary is enough to live in China. Bangzi country has high consumption and high-rise buildings everywhere - haven't you seen Jin Sanshun? Even a watermelon is so expensive!"
Su’s mother also likes this Korean drama, which is now considered mainstream.
If it hadn't been for the sudden sudden appearance of the soldiers' assault, they would probably have dominated the list.
"Yes, son. I have saved it all for you. How much can your mother and I eat?"
Father Su also said with a smile.
Su Yi was a little moved in his heart.
However, I have 13 million.
There are also several million after tax.
"It's okay, I have enough money."
"What can you do with your three melons and two dates?"
Su's father thought his son wanted to save money.
"Buzz buzz!"
Just when Su's father stepped forward to hold Su Yi's hand and wanted to talk about the truth.
The text message on Su Yi's cell phone casually placed on the table came just in time.
"[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China] Dear Customer: The check transfer business applied for by the Bank of Xicheng District Pedestrian Street in the Capital at 17:52 was successfully accepted and the transaction was completed. The transaction amount is: 9,966,321.00"
Father Su rubbed his eyes.
Su Yi was a little helpless. This text message came at the right time.
Moreover, the tax is really high enough.
Ps: At least half of the real tax will be deducted. This kind of thing cannot be too real here, so it has been slightly changed. Jiang Wen's matter is really difficult for China Entertainment. I really didn’t know these things before
