Chapter 295 My Whole Family Praised Me for My Good Acting!
"The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is the heaviest price in China's modern history. The Chinese nation made an indelible historical contribution to the overall victory of the World Anti-Fascist War with the blood and lives of more than 30 million Chinese people.
Now, through "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", director Wu Yuchen cleverly focuses on the perspective of children, reveals the grand theme with individual stories, and denounces the endless pain caused by the war of aggression against China to the people of both countries. From the innocent perspective of children, the absurdity and cruelty of war are more shocking.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" has awakened national memory and explored history Reflection has been recognized worldwide. Its theme goes beyond the simple national confrontation. It explores the profound humanity and inhumanity, and carries empathy and humanitarian care across national boundaries.
Wu Yuchen used the film to express that although war is history, the revelation left to future generations should not only be the seeds of revenge, but also how war shapes the fate of the two countries and the world, as well as its profound teachings on human nature and international cooperation, and the pursuit of the lofty ideal of peace! "
Wu Yuchen read the article in the People's Daily for a while, and then read the film reviews in some other newspapers.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: Wu Yuchen's Tenderness and Cruelty."
"Behind the two boys is the national sorrow!"
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: A must-see movie for every Chinese!"
"Wu Yuchen: Give you hope, then completely crush it!"
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is not only the most important work in Wu Yuchen's film career, but also a relatively outstanding film reflecting the theme of World War II, which has a strong impact on people's hearts. In terms of the creation of the theme characters and the audio-visual language, it is worthy of careful consideration and learning by all Chinese directors!
"This is not only a plot, but also a comprehensive victory of technology, lens, editing, acting and music!
Great movies should be like this, not only profound in thought and moving in emotion, but also superb in technique, which has important reference value for film apprentices. Such movies have a very high status in the hearts of ordinary movie fans and academics, and such movies can be passed down! "
To be honest, a large group of media outlets have been eager to write reviews for "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".
Normally, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" has won so many awards at the Oscars that it should be released directly in China, and then everyone should go to the cinema to watch it. The media outlets will naturally use this opportunity to promote it and comment on the movie.
However, it was really unfortunate this time that the SARS epidemic hit, and the movie could not be released. This made the media outlets, although they praised Wu Yuchen after he won the Oscar, only praise the person, but not the movie itself. This made both the media outlets and the people feel that it was a bit lacking.
We know that Wu Yuchen is great at winning awards, and we know that the movie is good, but we also have to know how good it is!
Now, the movie is finally out, and it is broadcast for free on the movie channel. This is definitely the movie with the most viewers since its release. Now they can finally let out the breath they have been holding in their chests and analyze this great movie that has won so many Oscars from all aspects!
Of course, even the Central Coal Group has set the tone, and the media will definitely not do the opposite and find faults. Naturally, they will praise it from all angles!
But this is also exactly what the people like. After all, after watching "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" yesterday, many people wiped their tears and were heartbroken by the tragedy of the two children in the movie. With so many professional film reviews coming out today, naturally everyone can seek recognition and emotional outlets in these articles.
No Frankly speaking, now "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is the one that has truly achieved the level of nationwide discussion. After all, no movie has ever had so many viewers at once and received such high attention!
To be honest, Wu Yuchen is still a little uncomfortable with the title of national treasure director.
National treasure director, this title is not for everyone. Only those directors who have made outstanding contributions and far-reaching influence in the film and television field can be given this title. These directors are not only highly praised for the artistic value of their works, but their works can often transcend cultural and language barriers and become internationally popular classics.
Obviously, Wu Yuchen now meets this requirement, and this time it was directly stamped by the official.
As for Wu Yuchen himself For himself, he was naturally very happy to receive such affirmation, but on the other hand, he now vaguely felt that he was being praised too much.
Sometimes being praised to a high position is not a good thing, it is easy to make people forget themselves, stop striving for progress, or be burdened by fame.
For example, Chen Kaizi, after "Farewell My Concubine", was also praised by everyone. After that, this guy basically kept holding his airs and couldn't get down. This mentality must have an impact on his subsequent creative career.
However, Wu Yuchen did not stand up to refuse. He and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" no longer represent only himself, but now it is also a symbol and business card for China's external exchanges and cultural promotion. Even if he doesn't mean to do so, he must be pushed up.
Just like when he was communicating with the leader yesterday, the other party mentioned a sentence from the teacher, if we don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, then the enemy will occupy it.
Although they are not enemies, the difference can be seen by comparing the treatment of Chinese and Jews.
During World War II, the Jews claimed that 6 million people were massacred, and they kept shouting about it for decades around the world, and then they received sympathy and preferential treatment from all parties. And what about China? More than 30 million people are several times the number of Jews, but does anyone care?
Every year, there are so many books and other works about the victims of the Jews in World War II. Have those scholars who claim to be the pain of mankind ever paid attention to the massacre of Chinese people in World War II?
Although there are complex factors such as politics, economy, and skin color behind this, the position of public opinion is really very important!
Now that Wu Yuchen and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" have finally come out, this card has achieved a significant influence internationally, and naturally it must be well maintained and used!
...
"Changchang, I heard that there are more SARS cases in Beijing, how are you?" Liu Qianqian, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, called to care about her friend Shuchang.
"I'm fine, I feel like everyone around me is fine~"
"Then why did I hear you sighing when you answered the phone just now?" Liu Xixi asked.
Shu Chang paused, then asked: "Um, Xixi, have you seen the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"? "
"Yes, it has been fully released in America. I watched it last week. I really want to cry! Changchang, I really envy you for being able to act in this movie!"
Shu Chang said a little aggrievedly: "Xixi, I sighed just now because of this. I saw that many people on the Internet scolded me..."
Liu Xixi asked curiously: "Ah? Why? I think Changchang, you acted very well?"
"They all say that I am mentally retarded and have no brains. I was brainwashed by Japan in an instant , and fell in love with Japanese people, had problems with thinking, was a traitor, in short, that kind of thing..."
Liu Qianqian was also stunned when she heard this, and after realizing what was going on, she comforted her friend: "This, Changchang, this is all because you acted so well! That's why everyone is so involved..."
"That's what I said, but when I saw these..."
"Don't say but, Changchang, this is your happy trouble! If I were you, the more people scold me now, the happier I would be!"
"How can you think like that!"
The two girls chatted for a while, and Shuchang's troubles were forgotten. Then she asked Liu Xixi: "Xixi, when are you going to come back?"
Liu Xixi smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Changchang, do you miss me?"
"Yeah, I miss you so much..."
Shu Chang said with a long tone, and then the next moment he said: "I miss the food your mother cooks!"
"Hmph! You are so good Changchang, I must tickle you when I go back!"
"Hehe, when you come back, it's not certain who will tickle whom~"
After the two girls laughed, Liu Xixi said: "I will go back next month~"
"Next month? SARS may not be over so soon, right? Don't you want to wait?" Shu Chang asked.
Liu Qianqian shook her head: "No, I can't wait any longer. Mr. Cai from Miracle Films said they have a TV series and want me to audition for the female lead. I have to rush back next month~"
Shu Chang exclaimed: "Miracle Films, Mr. Cai? Qianqian, I have to congratulate you in advance! Now every TV series of Miracle Films is a masterpiece, and everyone is scrambling to get into their projects!"
"What are you congratulating me for? It's just an audition, and I haven't confirmed whether it will work~ Besides, you are far worse than Changchang, and you have already acted in Director Wu's drama!"
"Hehe, I'm just lucky. Let me tell you, I went to Director Wu to ask him on the crew, and he said that you didn't choose you because you are too beautiful~"
"Just coax me~" Liu Qianqian said with a raised corner of her mouth.
…
While Shuchang was talking to Liu Qianqian, Huang Xiaoming was also talking to his beloved teacher Wu on the phone, saying, “Teacher Wu, you don’t know how many people are scolding me online! I don’t even dare to go online to see it. Fortunately, it’s SARS and everyone is at home, otherwise I might be pelted with eggs when I walk on the street!”
Huang Xiaoming played the worst Neon officer in the movie. He not only beat the old servant to death, but also beat Xiaochun severely. He also kept calling him a “Chinese pig”, so he naturally didn’t get a good reputation in the audience’s eyes. The infamy he suffered in this wave was more than ten times that of Shuchang.
Although Huang Xiaoming was so popular as a member of F4, his main audience was teenagers and young people. This time, people of all ages watched “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas”, so naturally, those who didn’t know him before remembered him deeply in their minds as a “Neon devil”.
Wu Yuchen didn't comfort Huang Xiaoming in the same soft and gentle way that Liu Qianqian comforted Shu Chang: "You kid, you're still throwing eggs, do you think you are Ge Cunzhuang and Teacher Chen Qiang?"
Ge Cunzhuang is Ge You's father, and Chen Qiang is Chen Peisi's father. Both of them are one of the five evil men, and they often play villains, such as Ge Cunzhuang's Captain Kameda, Chen Qiang's Huang Shiren in "White Haired Girl", and Nan Batian in "Red Detachment of Women". Because they acted so well, they were pelted with eggs and rotten vegetable leaves when they walked on the street. Even during the special period, he was labeled as a "real bad guy" because of this...
"I dare not compare myself to Teacher Ge and Teacher Chen!"
Wu Yuchen smiled and said, "Hehe, you are still a bit good. If you feel wronged, I will not look for you for similar roles in the future~"
Huang Xiaoming hurriedly said, "No, no, no! Teacher Wu, I am not wronged at all! My whole family praised me for my good acting! My grandparents wanted to slap me when they saw me!
I feel very good now. I called you just to say that I am very grateful to you for letting me play this role! If you have the chance in the future, you must look for me again!"
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuchen smiled and shook his head. Huang Xiaoming, this kid, is he addicted to playing the devil?
After Wu Yuchen put away his mobile phone, he smiled and said to Cai Yinong who was reporting to him just now, "Mr. Cai, please continue."
This time when he came back, he must arrange the general work plan of Miracle Film and Television in China while he had time.
Cai Yinong continued, "We have already bought the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from Taiwan's Daewoo Company, and the script has been polished and is in preparation..."
Wu Yuchen nodded and said, "The film and television adaptation of the game is actually similar to the novel. The casting must be in place. It doesn't have to be so famous. The fit of the role is very important."
Cai Yinong began to introduce the arrangements for casting: "We plan to start auditioning actors next month. Zhao Linger has invited He Meitian and Liu Qianqian..."
Wu Yuchen was moved when he heard Cai Yinong's introduction. He Meitian? This is the leader of the sweet girls in the film and television industry today. She has played Yi Lin in the Hong Kong version of "Swordsman" and Zhong Ling in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Her reputation is quite good. In the previous life, the producers of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" game unanimously called for He Meitian to play Zhao Linger, but unfortunately she missed it because of the schedule...
Thinking of Liu Qianqian, Wu Yuchen also smiled. In the previous life, after He Meitian refused, Liu's mother also looked down on "Legend of Sword and Fairy". It was Cai Yinong who visited her and repeatedly requested Liu Xixi to come. Now, the situation seems to have reversed. Mr. Cai is a well-known figure in the circle. He called Liu Xixi back from America to audition with just one phone call.
Wu Yuchen just listened to Cai Yinong's report and didn't mean to intervene too much. Now Miracle Films has so many projects every year, he certainly can't ask about everything, otherwise he will be too busy.
Cai Yinong, Jiang Xueruo, Li Guoli and others in the company are not mediocre, just let them show themselves. What he has to do now is to grasp the general direction.
Wu Yuchen is still a little curious. This time, whether Liu Xixi and He Meitian can win the competition for Zhao Linger, life is interesting when there is a little suspense!
