Chapter 30: Genius
Wu Yuchen showed a smile after hearing this question.
To be honest, he had already answered this question to the point of being handy.
However, when answering, he was still very sincere:
"This question, I have been asked many times.
The first time I took out this script, the students in the film group asked me, and at that time I answered like this..."
Saying that, he repeated the answer at that time, which made everyone in the audience listen and think.
Then Wu Yuchen continued:
"Later, when I went to do the soundtrack, I was asked again, and my answer was that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes."
"And this time, after 'Bus 44' was really released, I had new insights.
There is a proverb in the West: Give to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's.
The moment the movie was really broadcast, it no longer belonged to me, the creator.
I have things I want to express in it, but is it really that important to everyone what I think?"
Wu Yuchen's meaning was very clear, that is, he completed the creative part of the work, and how to understand and think about it is actually a personal matter for you viewers.
This answer immediately caused buzzing discussions among the audience again. Wu Yuchen's statement was very novel to them. After all, they used to fight with the creator for three hundred rounds about the connotation and thought of the work.
The student who was standing and asking was also stunned, important? Not important? Wu Yuchen didn't answer his first question directly, but threw a question back to him, but he felt that Wu Yuchen's words seemed to make sense.
He scratched his head and sat down slowly, feeling a bit confused for a while, feeling that he needed to grow his brain...
The director of the acting department smiled and said: "This kid, really cunning!"
Undoubtedly, Wu Yuchen used one question to top the previous question, throwing the problem back to the audience.
Xie Xiaojing also smiled and replied: "But his words are indeed not wrong."
"Old Xie, you are protecting him!" The director of the acting department joked.
Hou Keming waved his hand, pointed at Wu Yuchen on the stage and smiled:
"This kid can even be so thought-provoking when answering a question. I really look forward to his scene when facing reporters in the future!"
The teachers on the side laughed when they heard it, but they could all hear the appreciation of this Dean Hou for Wu Yuchen.
If he didn't look highly of him, could he say about facing reporters in the future?
This is undoubtedly affirming his future!
At the same time, these teachers also had a common thought in their hearts, their Beijing Film Academy director department is going to produce a genius again!
Subsequently, another student was pointed out by Wu Yuchen. He was a senior student, asking how Wu Yuchen managed to pull up the crew and film "Bus 44" just two months after entering school.
This question is undoubtedly a practical question that many people care about.
Wu Yuchen didn't hide it, after all, this couldn't be hidden, and told the story of how "Bus 44" was born from beginning to end.
Many people suddenly realized that there is such a crowdfunding model for filming movies!
This couldn't help but give many people inspiration. Maybe they can try it too?
Wu Yuchen looked at the eager expressions of many people in the audience and sighed. They only saw success, but didn't see the difficulties in it!
Without a good script like "Bus 44", without a team full of passion for movies, willing to pay money and work for free, without a director like him who already has mature practical experience, without the actors with potential selected by his transmigrator's vision, how could it be so easy to succeed?
But Wu Yuchen wouldn't say any more discouraging words. You will know the hardship only after walking the road. Persuasion is useless, and maybe someone can do it?
Next, Wu Yuchen continued to answer the questions below one by one, but these questions were basically asked by the film group before, and he responded very freely.
There were also some who asked him some technical and filming experience questions, such as certain lens languages or difficulties encountered during filming. Wu Yuchen wouldn't hide these either. Except for the matter involving Jiang Qinqin, everything that could be said was said.
In addition to asking Wu Yuchen, there were also many people asking Jiang Qinqin, Sun Honglei, and Duan Long.
The movie screening started at 7 o'clock, but this screening meeting lasted until nearly ten o'clock. It was the teachers who said it was too late and ordered everyone to go back, and these enthusiastic students began to disperse.
Before Xie Xiaojing left, he said to Wu Yuchen with a smile: "Come find me when you are free tomorrow."
Wu Yuchen didn't know what Xie Xiaojing was calling him for, but it definitely wasn't a bad thing, so he agreed directly.
At this time, Huang Lei walked over with a smile and patted Wu Yuchen on the shoulder:
"You kid, really awesome!"
Huang Lei didn't expect that Wu Yuchen could film "Bus 44" so stunningly!
Originally, he just wanted to help, but he didn't expect to help produce a work that shocked the audience.
Huang Lei was in a very good mood now, especially after seeing "Special thanks: Huang Lei" in the movie, he smiled from ear to ear.
"If I had known the effect would be so good, I would have done it myself!" Huang Lei joked.
"Senior brother, I was the first to find you! You said yourself that you were busy with other things..."
After Wu Yuchen finished this sentence, he pulled Huang Lei to the side and smiled:
"Senior brother, I saw it on stage just now, you two were sitting in the corner, the one beside you..."
Hearing this, Huang Lei immediately pulled Wu Yuchen's arm: "Keep your voice down, pay attention to the influence!"
After speaking, he looked around.
Wu Yuchen smiled and made a zipper gesture on his mouth to Huang Lei, and then gave Huang Lei a thumbs up. He estimated that Huang Lei had basically won this situation.
Then Wu Yuchen remembered something and said to Huang Lei: "Senior brother, I still have two thousand left from the money you gave..."
"What are you talking about!
Don't mention this to me again!
Why are you still being polite with me!"
Huang Lei made a serious expression, and only relaxed his tone after seeing Wu Yuchen stop speaking:
"Take your crew members, take advantage of this weekend to have a good meal and play for two days. Remember to find your senior brother if there are any good roles in the future!"
Huang Lei hammered Wu Yuchen's chest after speaking, and then left gracefully.
After everyone had almost left, the remaining film group members could no longer suppress their happiness and couldn't help but shout:
"We succeeded!"
They clapped their hands and hugged each other, celebrating.
Everyone had no regrets about the money they invested in the crew before. Instead, they felt that being able to participate in the production of "Bus 44" was an incomparably glorious thing!
Then Jia Zhangke, Fatty Wu, Chen Er, Sun Honglei, Duan Long, and others all surrounded Wu Yuchen, and everyone lifted him up and threw him into the air.
Everyone knew very well who the greatest contributor to "Bus 44" was!
Everyone cheered and threw Wu Yuchen into the air three times before stopping.
Wu Yuchen, who stood firm again, also had a flushed face, and his hair was a bit messy, but he didn't care, and raised his right hand:
"The crew will hold a wrap-up banquet tomorrow, let's not go home until we are drunk!"
"Awoo awoo awoo!" A group of people cheered around Wu Yuchen.
At this moment, Jiang Qinqin stood quietly on the side, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the handsome boy who was surrounded by stars.
She felt that his whole person was shining, so dazzling that she couldn't bear to look away! ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
She felt that he was glowing all over; he was so dazzling that she couldn't bear to look away!
