Chapter 385 The Last Time
"Then who are you marrying?" Wang Shu turned around and asked.
"You care who I marry? Anyway, no matter who I marry, I won't marry you." Sun Li said arrogantly with a smile on her pretty face.
There is a reason why she did not answer Deng Chao.
The two have only tentatively confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, and are still far away from discussing marriage.
"Ha!" When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately walked towards Sun Li fiercely and said angrily, "You won't marry me, right?"
"Huh? What do you want to do?" Sun Li quickly pretended. He backed away in fear.
"Hehe." Wang Shu chuckled, "Let's cook the raw rice and see if you will marry me?!"
As he said that, he hugged Sun Li.
“I won’t cook the rice with you.” Sun Liqiao spat with a blushing face.
"It's not up to you." Wang Shu chuckled, and then made some movement with his hands.
“Help, someone is being molested!” Sun Li immediately screamed.
"Haha, you scream, no one will answer even if your throat is broken." Wang Shu looked like a lecher at first, and then said with a smile, "Little beauty, obey me obediently. Come on!”
“You bastard, I won’t agree to it,” Sun Li continued to spat with her cheeks turning red.
“It’s not up to you.” Wang Shu chuckled.
Sun Li took advantage of the situation and struggled hard. Wang Shu relaxed a little, and Sun Li immediately struggled and ran away.
Then he looked back at Wang Shu and hummed arrogantly: "What a beautiful idea."
Wang Shu was "stimulated" and went to chase, but Sun Li ran away.
Wang Shu caught Sun Li. The two struggled for a while, then let go, allowing Sun Li to run away.
Sun Li, who ran away, taunted her proudly again.
Wang Shu went to chase again.
The two of them were playing around in the villa until Sun Li was exhausted and Wang Shu carried her to the sofa.
Sun Li held Wang Shu's neck with both hands, stared at him with faint eyes, and whispered: "The last time."
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then he kissed her on the lips and said seriously: "Okay."
Seeing this, Sun Li gave Wang Shu a sweet smile in return, and also kissed Wang Shu on the lips. .
The two looked at each other and kissed each other.
After a while, Wang Shu whispered in Sun Li's ear: "Yes"
After hearing this, Sun Li suddenly showed a look that was unwilling to resist but could not refuse Wang Shu's slightly coquettish look. .
Wang Shu pretended not to see it and began to do the preparatory work.
Sun Li looked disgusted, and because it was not easy to refuse Wang Shu directly at this time, she never refused righteously.
Then, under the pull of Wang Shu, she was reluctant and helpless.
In her heart, since she had told Wang Shu for the last time, it was hard for her to refuse Wang Shu's request.
Although he was reluctant, he was satisfied with Wang Shu's persistent request.
".." Wang Shu, who entered sage mode, looked at Sun Li and said something.
When Sun Li heard this, her face was full of reluctance.
Woo. Woo. I want to talk.
Then he saw Wang Shu with a straight face, and gritted his teeth in aggrieved manner
Then, he glared at Wang Shu resentfully.
Wang Shu smiled. He wanted to give Sun Li a bottle of water to rinse her mouth with, but found that there was no water nearby, so he reached out and pinched her face.
Sun Li's aggrieved eyes suddenly flashed with inspiration, and she stood up and kissed Wang Shu deliberately.
Wang Shu immediately blocked her mouth with one hand to prevent Sun Li's plan from succeeding.
The two were entangled for a while, and Sun Li said angrily: "You are not willing to do it yourself, but you still let me eat it."
"Haha." Wang Shu smiled awkwardly and changed the subject. "It's getting late, I have to go to the crew to start work."
Sun Li curled her lips after hearing this.
Of course she knew that Wang Shu was changing the subject, but she also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Wang Shu said.
Because it's really getting late.
Wang Shu pinched Sun Li's face and said with a smile: "I'm going to change clothes."
Sun Li didn't say anything and also stood up.
After a while, both of them got dressed and went out together.
Sun Li needed to go home because she had no change of clothes, so Wang Shu drove her back first.
Before getting off the bus, Sun Li said: "I'm not going to visit the class today. I'll go visit the class again after Deng Chao returns to Beijing and joins the team."
"Okay!" Wang Shu didn't ask why and responded. There was a sound.
Just as Sun Li was about to open the door and get out of the car, Wang Shu pulled her back. The two looked at each other and then kissed each other.
The lips parted for a long time, and Sun Li sighed with a red face and said: "The last time."
Wang Shu smiled and pinched her face, noncommittal.
After watching Sun Li leave, Wang Shu drove to the set.
As soon as I arrived at the set, I received many polite New Year greetings.
Then, the filming started quickly and slowly.
A few days have passed, the New Year holiday has come to an end, and the work boom has begun again across the country.
“How are you preparing for the trailer?” Han Sanping, one of the producers, came to the set and chatted with Wang Shu about work.
"An edition should be published in a few days." Wang Shu answered.
Han Sanping nodded and responded: "As long as we can catch up with the Berlin Film Festival."
"I will definitely catch up." Wang Shu said without a doubt.
The Berlin International Film Festival learned that Wang Shu was preparing to make a new film and immediately extended an invitation to him.
He was not invited to participate in the competition, but he was invited to participate in the screening with "Taipei Trip".
If you were an ordinary director, you wouldn't be treated like this.
Wang Shu not only won three major awards in Europe, but also won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival and went to Hollywood to make a movie.
This kind of achievement, coupled with the fact that the young director is a topical one, was enough for the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival to invite him.
Originally, after "The Crowd", the Berlin Film Festival had already sent an invitation to Wang Shu, inviting him to make a film to participate in the Berlin Film Festival.
Wang Shu also politely agreed that he would bring an art film to the competition again if he had the opportunity, but now he has a commercial film to shoot, so he can only put it on hold for now.
The organizers of the Berlin Film Festival also knew that this was indeed the case, and immediately sent him a screening invitation again.
This screening is not a full film screening, but a trailer screening and promotion.
It can be said that the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival gave Wang Shu enough face this time.
Of course, for the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival, it is nothing more than giving "Taipei Trip" a chance to be screened.
After all, there are many movies coming to the screening. One more "Travel to Taipei" is not a big deal, and one less "Travel to Taipei" is a lot.
However, bringing this matter to Wang Shu gave "Travel to Taipei", a film aimed at overseas markets, a very good opportunity to promote internationally. If you miss it, you won't miss it. Wang Shu has been working overtime these days.
I was busy filming during the day and editing at night.
"Travel to Taipei" has been started for less than a month, and the filming progress is only one-third complete.
However, the trailer is only a few minutes long. Although a lot of content has not been shot yet, a few minutes of trailer content can still be made up.
The two chatted about this matter for a while, and Han Sanping asked curiously: "I heard that the organizer also invited you to make an art film to participate in next year's Berlin Film Festival?"
"It is true." Wang Shu Nothing to hide.
After hearing this, Han Sanping sighed: "In our mainland, there are only a handful of directors who have been actively invited to participate by the three major European companies, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others."
"Now... again. There is one more you."
"In just three or four years, while others are still spinning around, you have transformed from a newcomer to a well-known director."
"For example, Ning Hao, not counting his time in college, was actually around the same time as your debut."
"Up to now, "Crazy Stone", which has a box office of more than 20 million, is somewhat famous. "
Wang Shu laughed after hearing this. After Ning Hao finished filming "Crazy Stone", he also filmed the love movie "Photographic Summer" and the art film "Seven Dreams".
All in.
In contrast, the films directed by Wang Shu never miss a beat.
"I heard that Director Ning is preparing a new film similar to the style of "Crazy Stone"?"
Wang Shu asked, changing the subject.
Han Sanping nodded after hearing the words and responded: "We are indeed preparing."
"China Film Group is participating again?" Wang Shu asked again.
“Again.” Han Sanping answered with a smile.
Although "Crazy Stone" was funded by Andy Lau's film company, Andy Lau's film company belongs to Hong Kong Island, so China Film Group also participated.
This time, China Film will not only continue to participate in the filming of a movie similar to the style of "Crazy Stone", but Han Sanping will also serve as one of the producers.
In the original timeline, "Crazy Racing" was released in 2009. The film earned over 100 million in box office with a production cost of 10 million.
Ning Hao has thus become the fourth mainland director after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige to have a single film with a box office of over 100 million.
But now with Wang Shu, he is fifth.
Wang Shu is the fourth director after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige to have a single film box office exceed 100 million in the mainland, and the second director after Zhang Yimou to have a single film box office exceed 200 million.
He is the first mainland director to have a single film with a box office of over 300 million.
There are a lot of directors in the domestic entertainment industry. After careful analysis, Wang Shu and Ning Hao, two rising stars, have become the 4th and 5th directors with a single film box office exceeding 100 million.
In 2009, the highest-grossing movie in the Mainland was the foreign language film "2012", with a box office of 460 million.
In an era when a foreign language film can earn 460 million yuan, Ning Hao has become the fifth director after Wang Shu to have a single film with a box office of more than 100 million yuan.
Facts have shown that there are so many people who are just dawdling around.
Because, this is no longer a problem of only a handful of directors who can make commercial films. Even directors who have made achievements in the field of art films include Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Chief Jia and others.
The so-called art film honors of other directors are all awards won by sharing the domestic cake.
"With the reputation of "Crazy Stone", this movie should do well at the box office." Wang Shu said.
Han Sanping said with a smile: "As long as Ning Hao doesn't smash it, it will be possible."
After saying that, he turned the topic to Wang Shu and said, "Compared to you, he is still far behind."
"He is still making small fuss."
" You are already the first director with a box office of 300 million in China. "So, what do you think about what I said before?"
"You can go to Hollywood later."
"In the past few years, we have worked together to bring the country into the era of commercial films!"
After finishing his words, he continued, "Compared with other directors, I personally feel that you are the only one who has the most ability to promote our domestic commercial films. Development."
"Because your scripts and movies are novel, they not only achieved high box office, but also made our domestic commercial films more diversified."
"If only. It’s the commercial films directed by Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Our mainland’s commercial films will always be suppressed by Hollywood films.”
“Your commercial films can compete with Hollywood films.”
"It's not just a competition at the box office, but also a competition in terms of subject matter."
"For example, in this "Travel to Taipei", no director in the mainland dares to make this type of movie."
"Although censorship is part of the reason, the more reason is that no director has the corresponding ability to make this kind of movie."
"They will only stay in the comfort zone instead of innovating."
"Although Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" has some innovations this time, this film is not the worst war-themed film and television production in our country."
Wang Shu smiled after hearing this and said: "Director Han, do you have so much confidence in me?"
Han Sanping sighed and responded: "It's not that I have confidence in you, but that I am a short man. "Tall up."
"." Wang Shu was happy when he heard this.
This is the truth.
At this stage, whether it is the honor of art films or the box office performance of commercial films, there are many people who have more gorgeous results than Wang Shu.
In terms of art film honors, Wang Shu won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival, which is considered a grand prize.
Compared to Berlin and Cannes, the Venice Film Festival has the lowest gold content.
Therefore, in the field of art films, many people, including Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, are better than him.
Only with his achievements in commercial films, he can be taller than a short man in domestic entertainment.
“I have said before that if there is an opportunity, I will definitely not miss the opportunity.”
"If there is no chance, of course I will return to China."
It's not that Wang Shu doesn't want to stay in China, but after weighing it, these few years are the most suitable period for him to develop in Hollywood.
Because after this period, domestic entertainment has entered the era of billions in movie box office.
If Wang Shuruo went to Hollywood at that time, he would suffer a loss.
And this period.
The Chinese film with the highest box office in 2009 was "If You Are the One" directed by Feng Xiaogang, with over 300 million.
In 2010, the Chinese film with the highest box office was "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" with 419 million.
Because this movie is the main theme, we put aside
The second Chinese film by the studio is "Under the Red Cliff" with 260 million.
Although the foreign language film "2012" earned a box office of 460 million, the investment in this film was as high as 200 million US dollars, and it earned a global box office.
If a Chinese-language film blindly invests US$200 million in production, it will never be able to recover the cost.
Anyone who keeps saying that blockbusters in this era can earn one billion, or even billions or billions at the box office in mainland theaters is all nonsense.
Because, in this era, whether the box office can reach one billion is not a question of the quality of the film, but that the hard conditions such as the number of screens are not enough to support it.
