Chapter 292: Powerless Relatively speaking, Wen Yi has not been in the industry for a long time, and he has not directed many films. However, since his first film, it seems that failure has eluded him. From the success of his first screenwriter "Ip Man" to the current international turmoil caused by "Rush Hour" and "Face/Off", he even won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for "The Departed". Became the first Chinese to win an Oscar. Of course, this is an achievement for screenwriters, but it has also put countless veteran screenwriters who have been in the industry for decades to shame. However, it has to be said that most of Wen Yi's scripts are commercial-oriented, and at best they only take into consideration both commercial and artistic aspects. There are no true art films yet. As for the director¡¯s achievements, it goes without saying. Although he has been nominated for many awards, he has not won a single award for directing, whether it is the Golden Horse, the Golden Statue, or the mainland's Golden Rooster Award. I was nominated several times, but never got it. Wen Yi has already become the film director with the highest cumulative box office, even though he has not made movies for a few years. But the high box office of each of his films directly makes him the director with the highest cumulative box office in China, and he is far behind the second place. Even in the ranking of directors around the world, he is definitely at the top. And the fact that it didn¡¯t win the Best Director award in any film award is undoubtedly a bit of a fly in the ointment. Therefore, when talking about Wen Yi and director, we will only say that he is a great Chinese commercial director. The great director has the word "commercial" in front of him. But now, he has become the first Chinese director to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Director. In this film award that countless Chinese directors have failed to win, Wen Yi is ahead of many established Chinese film directors. Such glory is enough to kill everything instantly! And I personally nominated seven awards at once. This undoubtedly makes any Chinese filmmaker collectively lose their voice. "Surprised? Why are you surprised? He is a genius, and a monster-like genius. Everyone knows this. Isn't it normal for him to be nominated for an Oscar?" Xu Ke said with a smile when asked by reporters about Wen Yi's nomination for an Oscar. , "If I have to say surprised, I'm really surprised. Haha, what's surprising is naturally not that he was nominated, but that he got so many nominations. How embarrassing is this for us old filmmakers!" In fact, when Xu Ke got the news, , I was still surprised, but now I have figured it out, or I feel relieved. He is an excellent film director, and he can naturally see the excellence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". What he didn't expect was how powerful this film would be at the Oscars. Of course, the most surprising thing is that Wen Yi received so many personal nominations! Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film, these two awards are not individual awards, but the Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Original Music, Best Original Score, and the most important Best Director. These five awards are real. This is indeed a bit outrageous. He is a director, so he naturally knows that there are specialties in the art industry. As for himself, Xu Ke also knows how to cut, write and adapt scripts. But if he really wants to be nominated for an Oscar, then he doesn't have the slightest confidence. Even in any award, I don't have the slightest confidence. ¡°At least, in these aspects, he is not as confident as a director. In fact, in the opinion of Xu Ke or most filmmakers, the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Wen Yi is not bad. After all, many film directors write their own scripts. But the cutting, music, and soundtrack seemed to them to be a bit of fun, or just incidental. Or to put it more simply, it¡¯s amateur! But just for "playing", "by the way", amateur, it was directly nominated for an Oscar. This left them extremely speechless. However, if they knew that the reason why Wen Yi created original music and completed the soundtrack himself, it was entirely because he still had fresh memories of the original version in his previous life, and he did not think that he could write better if he found someone to write it. As for the cutting, the cutting arrangement was completely based on the logic of the previous life, and it didn't take Wen Yi much time. Knowing this, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be so speechless. However, it is obviously impossible for them to know this. In their view, Wen Yi got the nomination they dreamed of just "playing". Apart from envy, jealousy and hatred, they could only smile bitterly and say: Don't compare yourself to monsters. thing! As soon as the Oscar nominations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came out, the crazy media couldn't interview Wen Yi, so naturally they wouldn't let go of the directors, actors and other filmmakers who have worked with Wen Yi. The people who are asked the most are naturally those great directors who wanted to win Oscars but came back disappointed. Xu Ke was asked, and Zhang Xiaogang was naturally asked too. Like Xu Ke, he was on good terms with Wen Yi. When asked, although he was a little envious, he was still happy for Wen Yi. There was no trace of embarrassment or displeasure on his face, even if he was asked directly, he missed the Oscar, but let a young director "get it first"?What do you think? ¡°Chinese-language films still rely on young people. The further they go, the further Chinese-language films will go!¡± Zhang Xiaogang said with a smile. However, among those great directors, there are many who have no friendship with Wen Yi. In addition, when they are asked some sharp questions by some reporters, they will inevitably make a mistake and then be caught by the reporter and stir up a stir. Fan. Wen Yi didn¡¯t pay much attention to these at all. When he was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he already thought about being nominated for Oscars, but he didn¡¯t know how many nominations he would be nominated for. After all, the film is a little different, and the location and time are also different. He naturally knows how big a storm of public opinion will be caused after the nomination. However, he rarely pays attention to these things, let alone being mentally prepared for them. Wen Yi is still thinking about his script. However, the more the script is written, the more problems it faces. A movie is like a novel. After watching it, except for remembering the protagonist, no one else has the slightest impression, then it is undoubtedly a failed work. But if you want the audience and readers to remember the supporting characters, then you must give the supporting characters something different. When writing a script, you actually have different identities and different things to consider. When a screenwriter writes a script, he may just write a story. But when a director writes a script, what he writes is a movie. When Wen Yi wrote about the battle between the prehistoric lich and the lich, he naturally wrote a movie. When writing, I unconsciously consider how the film will be shot and what it will look like. But after writing like this, Wen Yi felt that he couldn't continue writing. It¡¯s not that the story can¡¯t be written, it¡¯s that the movie can¡¯t be written. Wen Yi felt that it was difficult for him to control himself while filming. The more I write, the more I feel anxious that I will smash it. "Oscar for Best Director? Haha!" Wen Yi looked out the window and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" itself has put a lot of effort into it, more effort than any previous film, how much weight does it have in the award nominations that this film has received, especially the nomination for Best Director? , I¡¯m afraid only I know. Best Director? I am still a long way from this level! Of course, because of this film, Wen Yi naturally felt that his progress was rapid. Will the "Prehistoric" series be filmed? There is no doubt about this. Shoot, of course I have to shoot. But Wen Yi knows that with his current level, whether it is the scripts he writes or the movies he makes, he is probably most likely to mess up. The story may be told clearly, but how well it is told is unknown. After all, if a movie is just a story and has no other presentation, it will undoubtedly be very empty. Even if it is a feature film, the film can still show what the director wants to express from the plot. When making a movie, you can¡¯t simply make a story. Still need a soul! And Wen Yi is obviously still a little unsure about this. ¡°Moreover, ¡°Prehistoric¡±, especially the first one, will involve the most special effects. And I may not be very good at using special effects. After all, there were not many special effects used in previous films. Although "Kung Fu Panda" uses a lot of special effects, it is just a cartoon after all. First, shoot some other videos that use a lot of special effects and have references to practice! Wen Yi obviously didn¡¯t want to scrap the idea of ??¡°Ancient Wilderness¡±, which embodies many Chinese myths and stories. If you want to shoot, you must shoot well! r1152
