Chapter 293 Youth Model
Beijing, airport.
When Wu Yuchen came out of the passage and saw the formation at the airport pick-up gate, he was a little unexpected.
I saw people holding banners and people holding flowers. A large group of reporters gathered around. Han Sanping and others stood happily waiting in the front row.
To be honest, Wu Yuchen originally thought that it was now the SARS period and no one would engage in such a big battle, but the momentum was no less than that two years ago when his "Love" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time.
When Wu Yuchen walked over in a burst of flashing lights, Han Sanping came up to him and held Wu Yuchen's hand: "Welcome to Director Wu for his triumphant return! Our Oscar-winning Best Director, thank you for your hard work!"
Then he went through all the steps including laying flowers, displaying the statuette, and giving speeches. After he got in the car, he finally couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Han Sanjing:
"Brother Han, didn't you say that SARS is happening? Why is it so big?"
Han Sanping smiled directly and said: "We have inquired specifically. Everything that should be controlled has been controlled. Everyone present has been inspected. Our activities have been approved. Brother Wu, you have made China famous this time. You should have There still needs to be a ceremony.”
Wu Yuchen thought for a while. Although this wave of SARS caused a lot of noise, the total number of cases that were finally exposed nationwide was only about 5,000. The scope of the impact was actually not that big. It was really nothing compared to the one 20 years later. . Therefore, this normal activity will really not be affected now.
"Brother Han, you should be more careful. I heard that this disease is still a bit scary." Wu Yuchen still reminded him.
Han Sanping nodded and said: "I think the authorities are paying great attention to it. The cinemas are closed now. I thought it would be over soon, but now I have no confidence. This may have some impact on the public release of your movie. trouble."
Wu Yuchen shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't matter whether the movie is released in public or not. We should focus on the overall situation first. Don't let SARS spread to more people because of the release of my movie. That would be a sin."
Han Sanping sighed: "That being said, I feel it's a pity. And now because of the Oscars, people are also very enthusiastic about your film "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" and want to see it. We haven't been able to get there. But it can’t stop piracy, alas!”
Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said: "Brother Han, I have actually considered this issue myself. I am thinking that the impact of SARS may not stop for a while, and I don't know when cinemas will reopen. Rather than let everyone waste their time, If you want to pirate it, let’s release it openly!”
Han Sanping looked at Wu Yuchen: "Brother Wu, what do you mean?"
Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "My idea is to just show the movie directly to the movie channel. Wait until SARS is over before releasing it to the public."
"Here, brother Wu, then you will lose a lot of box office!"
Wu Yuchen waved his hand: "If I don't let go, most people will watch pirated copies now. I feel really uncomfortable if the pirate dealers make money. I'll let it go for free, just as it was given to us Chinese people during the SARS period." A gift.”
Han Sanping gave Wu Yuchen a thumbs up: "Brother Wu is so righteous!"
…
In an office that was generously decorated but not luxurious, a middle-aged man took a sip of the brewed tea on the table. Then he habitually began to read through the newspapers and magazines that his secretary had arranged for him.
This is a habit he has developed over the years. He needs to know the important information in newspapers and magazines such as "Qiushi" and "Guangming Daily" in a timely manner.
After a while, I put down the newspaper in my hand and saw the latest issue of Time Magazine.
Although Time is only a weekly magazine, its influence far exceeds that of ordinary news media and is considered the most influential news magazine in the world.
In particular, the choice of cover characters were all influential figures from all walks of life who had a huge influence at the time, and often aroused widespread attention and discussion.
It can be said that it is an important way for domestic people to understand international public opinion and trend. Even many high-level officials read Time Magazine regularly as a reference for international public opinion.
At this time, the middle-aged man was attracted by the cover of this issue of "Times" because there was a familiar Chinese face on it, Wu Yuchen!
I saw a bust photo of Wu Yuchen on the cover, and next to him was an Oscar trophy. He has a smile on his face, and at first glance, he gives the impression of being calm and confident!
On the other side of his photo, there are several word labels arranged vertically: youngest, most talented, most influential, best director.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment after seeing this, and fell into recollection. The last time he appeared on the cover of Time Magazine seemed to be in 1997!
Looking at Wu Yuchen on the cover, the middle-aged man smiled. This is a good sign, indicating that the Chinese are becoming more and more influential in the world, and China's degree of integration with international standards is also increasing.
Then, he opened the magazine and found the report on the exclusive interview with Wu Yuchen.
The title of the article is: "The Oscar-winning director who broke history and is the leader of new forces in film!"
This article also included an in-text picture for Wu Yuchen, which was captured at the moment when Wu Yuchen took the stage to receive the Oscar for Best Director.
"Wu Yuchen, this year's Oscar winner for Best Director, has a name that has spread all over the world!
But in fact, before that, he had already achieved many remarkable achievements:..."
What follows is a brief introduction to Wu Yuchen's past achievements. In terms of awards, from Oscar to the top three in Europe, in terms of box office, from "Pirate King" and "The Sixth Sense" to Asia's "My Sassy Girl" and "If Love Has a Will" etc. are all mentioned.
To use a sentence from the article: "Maybe you may not be familiar with his name, but you must have seen his movies."
Then there are some exclusive interviews with Wu Yuchen:
"Wu, congratulations on breaking Oscar history and becoming the first non-white person to win the Oscar for Best Director. This is undoubtedly a feat. How do you feel about this?"
"Thank you! Of course I am very happy. This award represents a recognition of me and my film. As for breaking history, my personal reasons may only account for part of it, and it is more the trend of the times. At the same time, this is also It represents that the world is constantly developing and moving forward, and America is becoming more open and inclusive.”
The middle-aged man smiled when he saw this, thinking that this boy is quite smart, and he knows how to say something nice on someone else's territory to make the old lady happy. Then, he quickly browsed the questions and answers that interested him.
"Wu, in recent years, Chinese-language films and Chinese-language elements have been increasing in Hollywood. Can you please talk about the reasons?"
Chinese elements have indeed become more active in the past few years. Stars such as Cheng Long and Jet Li, as well as movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Xiu Chun Dao" and "Hero" have achieved good box office results. In addition, Wu Yuchen's "Love" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" won Oscars one after another, greatly increasing the presence of Chinese-language films.
Especially this time, Wu Yuchen won the best director for the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". It obviously has a lot of influence even in Hollywood, and is regarded as an important symbol of the rise of Chinese-language films in the world.
"In my opinion, this is an inevitable choice for the development of the world and the progress of the times! This stems from the Chinese civilization that gave birth to us!"
"Oh? Can you talk about it in detail?"
“Many people may have an impression of China as a strange and mysterious oriental land, but China is a country with a five-thousand-year-old civilization. It is a lovely place with a group of lovely people living there.
Nowadays, with the advancement of science and technology, the world is becoming more and more globalized, and the connections between people in various countries and regions will become closer, which will inevitably be accompanied by more cultural exchanges and communication.
As a country with a population of more than one billion, China has a large number of outstanding talents and a very charming culture with a long history. It will naturally shine in it. This is why in recent years, Chinese-language films have And the fundamental reason why there are more and more Chinese elements in Hollywood!
As a director, I essentially just serve as a bridge, allowing more people to see and be exposed to more of China’s outstanding culture and history. "
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help showing admiration, and at the same time praised: "What a bridge!"
Although Wu Yuchen is self-effacing, without his important role as a bridge, no matter how excellent, brilliant and profound Chinese culture and civilization history are, others will not be able to see it!
At this time, the secretary next to him smiled and asked: "Boss, what can make you so happy?"
The middle-aged man smiled and pointed at the cover of Time Magazine in his hand: "Our director Xiao Wu is really good!"
The secretary smiled and said: "If you can win the Oscar for Best Director, it will definitely be good~"
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "Ability is one thing, but the key is that his ideological awareness is much stronger than most people!"
Many people today regard America as a beacon. Many of the large numbers of talents trained by the country never come back after arriving there. If that's all, forget it. There are still quite a few people who continue to belittle their own motherland after seeing developed countries, and then gain a sense of their own superiority, as if they are superior to the people in their motherland when they get there.
Middle-aged people don't like this kind of behavior. Although many environments abroad are good, children don't think mothers are ugly! If everyone is like this, how can the country develop? Without the support of national strength, the people will always be inferior in the world.
He likes Wu Yuchen's attitude very much. He admits that America's prosperity and excellence are normal, but at the same time he never complains or belittles his own country. Instead, he constantly promotes his own country's culture and image. This kind of development is not enough. Young heroes who forget their roots and care about their motherland are what China needs!
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his head and ask his secretary: "I don't remember it was arranged to attend Wu Yuchen's award ceremony. Which day?"
The secretary immediately replied: "Boss, the schedule is next Tuesday."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I really want to meet him now and have a good chat!"
The secretary was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know what he had seen in "Times" that made him think so highly of Wu Yuchen.
However, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "What you are saying is that these capable and responsible young role models are the pillars of our motherland!"
"Well, a role model for youth." The middle-aged man repeated with a smile.
…
At this time, Wu Yuchen didn't pay much attention to the praise he received from the outside world. After all, he had received too many flowers and praises during this period.
Newspapers, TV, and the Internet are all praising him. He is considered the number one director in China, but he is just mediocre. He has also been given the title of the best director in the world. In this regard, Wu Yuchen's current attitude is to keep a low profile.
In the past few days since he came back, he mainly spent time with the people around him. After all, the award ceremony is scheduled for a few days later, which will also give him some time to relax and adjust his body and mind.
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan was lying on his side, supporting his little head with his hands, and kept looking at the man in front of him with a smile.
After Wu Yuchen discovered it, he gently wiped her face with his right index finger: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at you~" Gao Yuanyuan replied without hesitation
"What do I have to see?" Wu Yuchen asked with a smile.
"I just can't see enough~" After Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, he leaned over again and got in front of Wu Yuchen for a kiss.
Wu Yuchen gave her a tight squeeze, hugged her and kissed her for a while, then smiled and held up her face and said: "Our homeland is getting more and more beautiful~"
When we first met a few years ago, Gao Yuanyuan was still a bit young, leaning towards a girlish attitude, and could only be regarded as a small beauty. But in the past few years, after Wu Yuchen's development and teaching, Naken has really entered its peak period and has evolved into a big beauty. Wu Yuchen also likes it more and more.
Gao Yuanyuan pressed her face against Wu Yuchen's chest, listened to his heartbeat, and murmured: "Brother Chen, when I was watching the Oscars, I was almost nervous to death, and my palms were all sweaty. Look at you standing there to accept the award. When I was on stage, I thought you were the most beautiful man in the world! I wanted to throw myself into your arms and hold you like that for the rest of my life~"
Wu Yuchen also rubbed his forehead against Gao Yuanyuan's little head: "Then I will hug you for the rest of my life~"
Gao Yuanyuan hugged Wu Yuchen tighter. After following Wu Yuchen for several years, she actually knew that Wu Yuchen had another woman. But how could she leave such a charming man and such a good brother Chen?
Although Gao Yuanyuan is not as sassy as the big girls in Beijing, she still has one characteristic. If you don't like someone, you won't like them. If you like someone, you will like them so much. You just follow your feelings. Wu Yuchen, a talented and top-notch literary god, really touched the apex of her heart and perfectly matched all her fantasies and requirements for men.
She just wants to be by Wu Yuchen's side now and enjoy every minute and every second with him.
