    Chapter 293: Hesitation (Part 1) Whatever you do, you need to do it according to your ability.  Wen Yi¡¯s greatest advantage is that he is self-aware.  He was not dazzled by the smooth succession of successes, nor was he blinded by the sudden and huge honors.  He knows his level and his strengths and weaknesses. ?? If "Prehistoric" is not made into an epic movie, it will undoubtedly be a waste.  But if it is to be made into an epic movie, Wen Yi's current directorial level is obviously not enough.  ??At least it didn¡¯t fall short of the level he expected.  If there is no certain level, then you will not force yourself to do it.  When you shoot, you have to shoot well.  What's more, Wen Yi gave too many things to the "Prehistoric" series.  Although he did not let this series of films sweep the Oscars like "Lord of the Rings", it still sold well at the box office.  But at least let the whole world know that the Chinese also have epic fantasy movies.  Moreover, it is more magnificent than your western ones.  It doesn¡¯t matter whether you win an award or not, but we must make this series a classic!  A classic recognized by movie fans around the world.  And this, Wen Yi really has no confidence now!  In the eyes of outsiders, Wen Yi is now definitely among the top directors in the world.  But Wen Yi knows that he is still a long way from that level.  ¡°I have shot so many films, and they have achieved great success both in terms of box office and word-of-mouth.  But Wen Yi himself knows that the only film that truly belongs to him is "Kung Fu".  ?????????????????????????????????????????????Besides the extremely dazzling fighting and the dazzling star cast, what else is left?  This film was criticized by many film critics, who believed that it was a purely commercial film made by Wen Yi to please Hollywood and to break into Hollywood.  Although the box office is extremely amazing, as far as the movie itself is concerned, compared with his previous movies, it is more than one level lower.  Of course, the film is not without its merits.  There are still many merits, otherwise just relying on the gimmick of kung fu and the popularity of Wen Yi, Jason and others would not be enough to win such a high box office.  Looking back at previous films, especially when filming "Kung Fu", Wen Yi didn't think anything of it. He worked extremely hard on that film, and in his opinion, it was the best one he thought he could make at the time.  But now, especially after filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", when I look back and think about it, there are still so many things that could be done better.  Wen Yi knew that this was because he had made progress during the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".  Making excellent films, and not copying them completely, progress may be a matter of course.  Therefore, when Wen Yi felt that he was somewhat unable to do the filming of "Prehistoric", he decisively put it down and prepared to shoot some excellent films to train and improve himself.  In fact, after filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Wen Yi felt that he had many shortcomings. He also wanted to go to an American film school to further his studies!  However, now that I seem to be a "benchmark" for Chinese filmmakers, I have to give up this plan because I have a lot to bear.  To make progress, the only way is to find another way. The only good thing is that he has the memory of his previous life, which can be regarded as a kind of cheat.  There are so many classic movies in the past life. Although I don¡¯t remember them all clearly, it is precisely because of this that there is excellent space and opportunity for training and progress.  New Year¡¯s Eve is in mid-February and will come soon.  At this time, "Face", a film invested by screenwriter Wen Yi, was being shown in the theater. This film was released after Cheng Jie's "Rush Hour", but it was much more popular than "Rush Hour".  Of course, the most important thing is that this film borrowed the Oscar nomination of Wen Yi's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".  ¡°Rush Hour¡± and ¡°Face/Off¡± were both released in North America first, and then in China and Europe.  "Rush Hour" has been released, with the North American box office exceeding 100 million U.S. dollars and the global box office exceeding 300 million U.S. dollars.  For a film starring a Chinese and directed by a Chinese, it is extremely objective.  To date, except for Wen Yi, no other Chinese filmmaker has achieved this.  Even those flagship movies of Hollywood film and television companies may not have this result.  What's more, the investment in this film is not high.  And because of this, Cheng Jie rose in Hollywood.  Li Long had beaten him before because of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but now he has caught up with him.  And the popularity of "Face/Off" took advantage of Wen Yi's Oscar nomination. Whether in North America or in China and other places, the momentum is much fiercer.  After two weeks of release in North America, it exceeded US$100 million at the box office, and topped the box office chart for two consecutive weeks, and it seemed to have no tendency to go down in the third week.  It goes without saying that the film was released in China.  Released first?It directly knocked down the movie from the weekly champion position.  Becoming the weekly champion is beyond doubt.  Moreover, its sustainability is strong, and it is obvious that it has a tendency to win the weekly championship again.  It¡¯s the Spring Festival, the time for movie-watching craze!  The box office data for weekly champions at this time is naturally much higher than before.  Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be so many videos gathering here and fighting fiercely.  However, as a fan of Wen Yi Huaxia, what we are paying attention to is no longer the film invested by Wen Yi, the screenwriter, but the new song he will sing at this year's Spring Festival Gala.  Wen Yi¡¯s performance on the Spring Festival Gala stage only announced that he would sing a new song. As for what song and what style of song, he did not explain it. It seemed that he deliberately left this suspense.  After two years on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, Wen Yi is no longer what he used to be.  Wen Yi¡¯s musical talent goes without saying.  As for the saying that Jiangnan is exhausted, it has become a joke.  "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"'s Best Original Film Song and Best Original Film Score. Aren't these two awards related to music?  Even though he is nominated for an Oscar, you still say that he has exhausted all his talents. Isn't that just scolding him?  The new song is naturally a classic, no one seems to doubt it, they just don¡¯t know what style of song it will be.  "How are you doing?" Liu Qinghua saw Wen Yi behind the Spring Festival Gala, walked over with a smile, and asked.  "It's okay!" Wen Yi smiled and said.  "Okay?" Liu Qinghua was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You are still calm here. If I am nominated for so many Oscars, I must be very excited!" "This news came out at the end of January, right? It's been half a month now!  It¡¯s just a nomination, but it¡¯s not winning. What¡¯s the point of being excited for half a month?¡± Wen Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head.  "Haha!" Liu Qinghua smiled and continued, "I heard that you are preparing a new film during this time? What, Director Wen Da, can you give me a role? The protagonist is not suitable, just give me a role that shows your face!" "Haha, Lu.  A guest appearance? Brother Hua has mentioned it several times. I¡¯m embarrassed to be given this role.¡± Wen Yi smiled and then said, ¡°But I did plan to write a script some time ago, but it turned out.  I felt like I was going to collapse, so I didn¡¯t write it down. ¡°Why do I feel like you¡¯re entertaining me?¡± Liu Qinghua frowned, and then said, ¡°What kind of script can I do?  "Haha. I'm just telling the truth. There are too many things involved in the script, and it's really too big! However, I'm planning to write another script around June at the latest!"  Let's start filming. I'll try to give you the script in April! When the schedule is up, I can't say how long it will take to film!" Wen Yi said with a smile.  "Are you kidding?" Liu Qinghua was overjoyed when he heard this and said.  "Haha, of course I'm not kidding. There may be a lot of special effects in this film, so Brother Hua shouldn't ask too much for the film's salary!" Wen Yi smiled and said.  "Friendship price! Friendship price! If I weren't afraid of not breaking the rules, I could act in a completely friendly manner. There is no way, how can so many people around me still expect this to survive?" Liu Qinghua said with a smile.  "It's just a joke! Brother Hua thinks highly of me and joins my movie. I, Wen Yi, am not so stingy." Wen Yi smiled and said.  Although Liu Qinghua¡¯s salary is one of the highest in China, compared with those first-line stars in Hollywood, it is much less.  You can even directly convert the Chinese currency into US dollars, or even double the amount.  Li Long, who worked with Wen Yi before, is several times taller than Liu Qinghua.  With his small salary, Wen Yi naturally doesn't care when he makes movies nowadays.  r1152
