Chapter 634: Accept it or not!?
when the movie starts.
Director Wu, who is in his fifties, casually crossed his legs together in a relaxed posture.
Even though he has left the directing circle, he was once a great director alongside Zhou Yu and has made many successful films, so even after he retires, his life is still extremely luxurious.
The most important thing is that his wife had great business acumen when she was young. The money he earned from filming was handed over to her, and she used it to buy many shops and houses. After so many years of appreciation, the assets owned by the couple have
Although it is not comparable to those business tycoons, it is still around one billion.
Keren is a very complex animal.
After meeting the material conditions, I always want to fill my spiritual world.
Especially when he left the directing circle because of two consecutive commercial failures, so even though he didn't say it explicitly and didn't show his unwillingness to his wife, he still felt extremely frustrated when he thought about it occasionally.
If I had known earlier that those two movies would not be recognized by the market.
He shouldn't have taken over and just chose to retire early. At least he could have left a good reputation in the director circle and it wouldn't have ended sadly like it did later.
As if she knew what he was thinking.
After Director Wu's wife poured him a cup of tea, she sat next to him and watched "Infernal Affairs" with him, and put her palm on the back of Director Wu's hand.
This is the benefit of a couple sharing hardships.
When he was young, Director Wu had nothing and no future. Even so, Director Wu's wife still married him without hesitation. For this reason, Director Wu's wife even had a falling out with the family.
However, later on, Director Wu's wife's parents saw that they could not stop her, so they chose to acquiesce. Knowing that their daughter and the young Director Wu lived in a difficult life, they secretly gave some money to Director Wu's wife.
When Director Wu was taking notes on the set, in addition to taking care of the children, she also kept the house in order. Later, Director Wu gradually emerged in the entertainment industry, and their lives gradually became easier, but what followed was difficult to deal with.
kinship relationship.
Except for Director Wu's wife, whose parents were reluctant to give her some money after their daughter's life was difficult, they often gave her some money, similar to other relatives. Although they did not say it explicitly, both Director Wu and Director Wu's wife more or less heard their discussions in secret.
It can't be someone who "doesn't look good and still wants to be in the entertainment industry."
Or something like "whimsical".
Director Wu's wife is sometimes very angry, but sometimes she understands them very well.
After all, a group of people with no ideals either work in a company or drive a taxi. Anyway, these are ordinary jobs that most people can do.
So under such circumstances, Director Wu's behavior of going to the studio to learn how to make movies seemed out of place.
It's just that after Director Wu finally managed to get the first movie he invested in to be successful, these people immediately changed their faces. They all seemed to have their eyes opened. They all said that she had a good eye for picking a good husband, and that she had already chosen a good husband.
Knowing that Director Wu seemed very shrewd, he completely forgot about their previous slanders and malicious speculations.
Then they hope that Director Wu can help them or their children find a job that is easy and pays well. Some of them think that their children have good looks and are suitable for entering the entertainment industry as artists.
In order to worry that Director Wu's complicated personal relationships would affect his work, Director Wu's wife helped him handle all these matters, and the way she handled them was also very simple.
"I don't have to work, but if someone in the family gets sick and can't afford medical expenses, the couple will bear all the expenses."
These words were decisive and gave Director Wu a lot of face for his relatives.
But even so, some people still say that their couple is impersonal, but both Director Wu and both parents feel that Director Wu and his wife did the right thing.
People's hearts are very greedy.
Today I helped one, and tomorrow there will be another. There are four or five workers in a family. Each family has so many relatives. If you help one family, you have to help another. Director Wu is just a director, not a big boss of a company, and
The total filming time for a movie is only a few months, so cramming it all into the crew is nothing. It's not like starting a family uprising.
Maybe that's why.
Gradually.
Relatives naturally become estranged from each other.
However, their relationship as a couple has always been very good, and they are one of those rare couples in the entertainment industry who "have been together from the beginning, stayed together all the way, and will continue to be imitating couples until the end."
It is also this relationship that has lasted for decades...the relationship between husband and wife when they were young, although the passion has faded, has slowly evolved into the relationship between the closest people. Director Wu's wife knows what her husband is thinking.
He likes to make movies.
It's a pity that his era, like a rushing wave, had a bright moment, but still could not avoid the end of retreat. Feeling the tenderness from his wife's palm, Director Wu turned to her and smiled, and then
Continued watching the movie.
The movie starts in a temple.
There is nothing outstanding about this beginning. There are only two types of film narratives. One is step-by-step advancement, and the second is reverse order. In fact, there is a third narrative method, but this method tests the director’s skills too much.
Inadvertently, the work will be ruined. There are not many directors in the entertainment industry who can use the third narrative method. On the contrary, some top foreign directors can use it.
The narrative style is messy, but after watching it halfway, you will find the key points from the previous story line.
Just after listening to Han Chen's lines, Director Wu slowly leaned forward and lowered his crossed legs subconsciously. A smile appeared on the corner of Director Wu's wife's mouth, and then she got up and walked into the bedroom to take out the phone that Director Wu used when reading at night.
He took out the glasses and handed them to him.
After Director Wu took it, he quickly put it on his face and watched "Infernal Affairs" seriously.
Time passed little by little.
The plot advances bit by bit.
Director Wu's expression gradually turned serious from casual at the beginning, until he saw the scene where Officer Chen smashed into the taxi, he saw a performance that shocked him as a director.
Next comes the rooftop scene.
When the movie ended, Director Wu remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he took off his glasses, turned to look at Zhang Yan, who had been paying attention to his movements, and asked in an uncertain tone, "You said that Chen Jiahui called you tonight to invite me to be the director to take over the filming of this film."
A sequel to the play!?"
"Uncle Wu, don't even think about it. Director Du has taken over the sequel of this drama."
Zhang Yan heard from Director Wu's words that he had lost his initial determination, and quickly said, "Chen Jiahui wants you to take over the second part of "Gunfire". What is the name of this movie "Exile"?"
Said.
Zhang Yan took out his cell phone, waved it in front of Director Wu, and asked tentatively, "Uncle Wu, Chen Jiahui said that if you are willing to direct again, he will put the script over for you to take a look at first."
"this……"
Director Wu looked hesitant.
"Send it over first and tell Chen Jiahui that even if our old Wu doesn't accept it, he won't leak the script."
Director Wu's wife said something, then looked at her husband and said, "Let's take a look! Whether you want to take it or not will be decided after you read the script. Retirement is good, but every day I read biographies of foreign directors.
That’s not good.”
Hearing his wife's final teasing.
