(The new month is here, thank you for your support! Today is the third update, please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket, this is the first update!)

It was said to be an exchange meeting, but it depends on their arrangements. It was clearly asked to give a speech!

He stood on the rostrum, and there were crowds of people sitting below, including students from two colleges, leaders from both sides, and the five consecutive championships that followed Wu Cheng.

It is estimated that this venue is a place used by schools to hold conferences, or a small theater used to perform stage plays and watch movies! There are one or two hundred people sitting below, and there are still many seats free of charge.

Looking at the podium in front of the rostrum, Wu Cheng smiled bitterly, then simply took the microphone, walked to the front of the rostrum, sat down at the edge, suspended his feet outside, and smiled and said, "It was just an exchange meeting, it seemed like I was here to give a speech, well, this would be better!"

As a result, the actors could not help but cover their mouths and chuckled when they saw Wu Cheng like this.

Wu Cheng didn't care about this, but the teachers and leaders smiled bitterly, which was completely different from what they had imagined before!

However, Wu Cheng has brought the ordinary students a lot closer, giving people a very easy-going and approachable feeling, rather than the existence that is high and needs to be looked up to by them. This feeling has also made these students feel a little relaxed.

After coughing lightly, Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, I am not much older than you, and I may even be younger than some of you. In fact, I am only twenty years old this year."

Well, this is a false report of age to the outside world.

"But I'm lucky than most of you, because I came into contact with movies at the age of fifteen, and I also became an assistant director, and took the director... Well, you can treat this as my self-blow, because I'm quite proud of it, haha..."

When many people heard Wu Cheng say this, they felt a little laughing and laughed. Even the school leaders who wanted Wu Cheng's serious speech also smiled helplessly.

After laughing for a while, Wu Cheng raised his hand and pressed it down. After he calmed down, he continued, "I don't know what you think about the movie." Wu Cheng said, pointing to a young man in black sitting below and said, "Who is you, the one who smiles with a black hat and a hat. Don't look at others, it's you. Stand up and tell me what your name is? By the way, tell everyone, what is the movie in your heart?"

The young man named Wu Cheng stood up a little embarrassedly and said, "Hello Director Wu, everyone, my name is Zhang Yimou, I am a student in the photography department of Beijing Cinema University. Well, in my opinion, movies are an art, and at the same time, it is also an information dissemination tool, through which we can convey what we want to express..."

Wu Cheng nodded, asked him to sit down, and then clicked a young man not far away next to him. The young man stood up with honor and said, "Hello Director Wu, everyone, my name is Chen Kaige, I am a student of the Director Department of Beijing Film Academy. My thoughts are similar to those of Zhang, but I think it can not only convey information to others, but also affect our lives. So I think that when making movies, you must convey the things of 'truth, goodness and beauty'. This is the responsibility and obligation of being a filmmaker... This is my idea!"

Wu Cheng nodded, secretly complaining in his heart that his thoughts were good, but they were very naive!

In addition to these two, Wu Cheng pointed out a few more people, and these people were all in his mind, such as Tian Pretending, Gu Changwei, Zhang Tielin, and Fang Su.

The latter two are actors, so some of the views they expressed are similar. Everyone should be familiar with Zhang Tielin, but Fang Su, Wu Cheng, actually, only had a little impression of him, knowing that she had acted in a TV series "The Legend of Queen Lü", but Wu Cheng had not finished watching this TV series.

Maybe it's because he doesn't like this kind of TV series with women as the main character!

However, during this period, this woman looked quite beautiful. If it weren't for pulling Huang Qiuyan over to play with the five consecutive championships, Wu Cheng felt that it would be no problem to let her play the heroine Shepherd.

"Well, it's all very well!" Wu Cheng smiled slightly and said, "But there is one thing that everyone seems to have ignored. I don't know if you didn't expect it or think it doesn't matter at all. That is the needs of the audience. What kind of movies do the audience want to watch? What kind of movies are the audience interested in? It seems that everyone has not mentioned this. That, Zhang Yimou, what do you think?"

Wu Cheng smiled and looked at Lao Taozi, pulled him out and whipped him a few times again.

Zhang Yimou was a little surprised and finally looked up and said, "Indeed, I haven't thought about this seriously before, but I think the audience should be as long as there is a movie to watch!"

Sure enough, I still haven’t been tested by the market, young!

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Chen...Chen Kaige, what do you think?"

Chen Kaige stood up and said, "I don't think this is a problem. Most viewers now have a lot of demand for movie viewing. Generally, they only watch whatever plays there are in theaters..."

Well, the situation is similar to Lao Touzi!

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that although you are all very good students, you obviously don't understand this market, or you all think it doesn't matter. Indeed, the domestic film industry is not yet in its infancy, or it can be said that the audience has no choice. However, have you ever thought that if we continue to do so, when our country opens up to the outside world and when foreign movies come in, what will our domestic films use to resist these fierce foreign movies?"

Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "I wonder if you have watched the "Wrong Car" I filmed before? Those who have watched it raised their hands!" Wu Cheng glanced at the venue and almost no one did not raise his hands. In fact, it is normal. Even if he hadn't watched it before, when he heard that he was coming here, everyone would definitely have privately asked the school leaders to show it to everyone again.

"Since everyone has watched it, I wonder if you have carefully calculated how much box office my movie "Take a Wrong Car" has in the Mainland?" Wu Cheng asked again: "I know that many places do not need box office when screening this movie. In fact, my film was released in China, and my company did not receive any box office share..."

Wu Cheng had no choice but to spread his hands and finally said, "I'll do it roughly. The number of viewers in my movie is more than 600 million. If the ticket price is calculated as one cent, it would be a box office of more than 60 million. So, which movies in China have higher viewers than mine?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. When they thought about it carefully, they really didn't. It seems that this movie is indeed very powerful. It is what they yearn for to make such an art film.

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Well, I was not bragging just now, I just explained a fact to everyone, and also to tell everyone the importance of the market. From here, we can see that the art of movies can be an art and can also be used as a tool for information transmission, but the key is that it is also a tool for making money."

"Well, I say that, some classmates probably say that using movies as a tool to make money and let this art be stained with a vulgar smell of copper is not a blasphemy?"

Many people nodded again when they heard this because they did feel this way.

Seeing this, Wu Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you think so, I can only say that you are too noble. You regard money as dirt. This is a noble sentiment! But you must understand that if you do anything, you must not have money. For example, if our country wants to exhibit, do you need money? If you need to study and exhibit, do you need money?"

"The simplest thing, Chen Kaige, I ask you, do you need money to make movies? Whether it is machinery, film, or artificial, don't you need money?"

After being named by Wu Cheng, Chen Kaige was in pain and happiness.

However, Wu Cheng's question also made them start to ponder.

But Wu Cheng didn't let them think for too long and continued, "Take me as an example! I wrote a script and wanted to shoot it, but I didn't have money, and I didn't want to sell the script to those film companies at a cheap price. What should I do? Raise money! I spent half a month using newspapers to attract all the citizens of Xiangjiang to the trend of fashion, and then launched several fashion clothing. In this way, I founded a clothing company in one month and earned 2 million Hong Kong dollars, raising funds for the filming of my movie."

These people don’t know Wu Cheng’s family history, so it sounds a bit unaware of the harshness at this time. You must know that it’s not a hundred yuan, it’s two million yuan.

Although Hong Kong dollars are not as valuable as Huayuan, if it is replaced by Huayuan, it will be more than 600,000 yuan.

Think about how much you earn a month now!

He made such a huge sum of money in one month, which is a miracle!

"With money, it's easy to deal with. I and the director of this drama, Director Hong Jinbao, maybe you haven't heard of his name, but in Xiangjiang, he is also a household name. We founded a film company together, which is my current film company Donglong International. We filmed the first drama together. That drama, in Xiangjiang, directly broke the box office record, and sold overseas exercise rights to another film company... Jiahe Film Company. That time, we made a total of more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars..."

When everyone heard this number, they were stunned again and were unaware of it.
