"Is the Hong Kong director's degree of autonomy so high?" Although he had communicated beforehand, Billy Christo was surprised to hear Wu Yusen's rights and freedom of directors in Hong Kong.

"Yes, film companies trust us." Wu Yusen once again reiterated that trust is the biggest factor in the freedom of Hong Kong directors.

Because of trust, because they believe that the films they make can make money, the Hong Kong Film Company gave the director the greatest power.

However, this is basically impossible in other countries and regions in the world, especially Hollywood.

Billy Christo was very sighed and said: "Your directors in Hong Kong are so happy that they can shoot what they want. But in the United States, there are only a handful of directors who can shoot what they want, and they can be autonomous. It’s so big that there is no script, and when there is only one concept, the director will invest in the film, but there will be no one."

Wu Yusen nodded. He knew this very well before he came to Hollywood. Hollywood is a producer-responsible system, which means that the producer has the greatest rights, and the director is second. He even said that in many cases the director is just a person. The film is shot according to the script, and what kind of story the final shot is edited is up to the producer.

As for the fact that there is no script, it is impossible to establish a project and then select actors to form a crew to start filming.

Even independent film companies' films can't be so sloppy.

Not to mention the mainstream commercial films of the seven major film companies.

Even if there is a script, it is impossible to establish a project as soon as it is established.

The script has not been played back and changed dozens of times in accordance with the standard model, so don't talk to the top.

As for the establishment of the project, it is even more important to have a professional review of the script.

Those people’s job is to review the script, and whether the script is good or not must be decided by these people.

After passing it, it will be discussed by the senior management, and then the senior management will meet to analyze the situation of the script, the investment risk, the rate of return and so on.

After the rigorous process, there is no problem. This script can be approved, and then the investment scale must be discussed, how much is safer, and there is a great opportunity to recover costs, etc.

This is also the reason why it takes one or two years, two or three years, or even more for a Hollywood movie from the first version of the script to the final investment to the shooting and release.

The process is too cumbersome.

"Then Mr. Wu, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to adapt to Hollywood, right?" Billy Christo asked.

Wu Yusen nodded, and then said: "Although it is difficult to adapt, I think of a place according to the rules of a place, so I will adapt to the Hollywood system as soon as possible."

"Well, I also hope that Mr. Wu can adapt as soon as possible, so that we can see your first movie in Hollywood soon." Billy Christo said, and then he returned to the topic. topic.

"Mr. Wu, I heard that your first film that broke the record of a Hong Kong film is called Heroic Character, right?" Billy Christo asked. After asking, he said to the camera: "Mr. Wu's heroic character will also be I recently met you in hundreds of theaters. This is a very good movie, I hope you don’t miss it."

"Thank you." Wu Yusen first thanked Billy Christo politely, and then nodded: "Yes, the hero is the first gang hero movie that broke the Hong Kong box office record."

"Since the true character of the hero is so good, Mr. Wu, why didn't you continue to make movies in the style of the true character of the hero? Wouldn't that guarantee a good box office?"

"Maybe I want to shoot something different." Regarding Billy Christo's question, Wu Yusen thought about it in silence. This topic was not in the talk script that was stated in advance.

Billy Christo actually asked this question abruptly. Wu Yusen was unprepared. It was okay to switch the topic and not answer, but Wu Yusen decided to answer after thinking about it.

Anyway, according to Qiao Feng's account.

"Because I think "The True Colors of Heroes" is not my ideal movie.

It’s shocking to be honest, shameless. Wu Yusen has the essence of Qiao Feng’s explanation, which is to please European and American audiences as much as possible and say what they like to listen to.

Anyway, it's how it is good for movie promotion.

"I am very fascinated by French movies, especially Melville, who specializes in filming crime movies in France. He has filmed "The Lone Killer" played by Alain Delon, and "Red Circle". I like all his movies. I admire it," said Wu Yusen.

"It was in the 70s. At that time, I also loved watching Japanese police and criminal films. Then I wanted to make a movie. I put all my favorite movies, or movies I have been influenced by, in one movie. Inside, so the story of "Blood Two Heroes" was produced. In fact, the source of this story is Melville's "Lone Killer."

"Oh." Billy Christo made a loudly surprised voice, and then said incredulously: "It turns out that Mr. Wu's heroic character is actually influenced by Melville."

Wu Yusen nodded and continued: "When "The Lone Killer" started its mission, he killed someone in a nightclub. Then a black female singer who sang saw him, but the female singer was investigating the case by the police. At that time, the killer was not identified. In order to repay her, the killer sacrificed himself for her."

"Then I can understand that Mr. Wu's film was completely influenced by Melville's lone killer?" Billy Christo seemed to like to hear Wu Yusen praise European and American movies .

But Billy Christo didn't ask the questions as prescribed by the script, and Wu Yusen didn't just tout the European and American directors and movies as Qiao Feng asked.

He shook his head solemnly and said: "No. I like watching Takakura Ken's movie very much. The relationship between the detective and the killer in it is also from Takakura Ken's movie, which was previously shot in Hong Kong and Macau. I forgot that. What’s the name of the film. But the Hong Kong Chinese film is called "The Bloody Heroes", so I later used "The Bloody Heroes."

"This movie has been influenced by two movies of different styles, and even the name has been affected." Billy Christo looked unbelievable.

"How do you convince investors to invest in such a movie, Mr. Wu?"
