Chapter 45 I want to leave a mark in this era (8/47)

Xu Hui's speech continues.

"I came to Korea in 2002. At that time, SM selected idol groups. Of course I signed up and then I was beaten down!"

A shocking audacity broke out at the scene.

"…It's normal. I just went to Korea at that time. I was not proficient in Korean, I didn't dance very well, and I couldn't sing. How could I be selected as the Oriental God!"

"Oh, it turns out it's the Eastern God!"

Many viewers in the audience suddenly realized.

"…Not being selected does not mean that the company has given up on me. Including SM's president Li Xiuman, who personally promised me that it will definitely make me famous!"

"Later, I joined SJ and made my debut."

"Korean pop songs include idol combinations, like an assembly line, which can be mass-produced. SM's star-making ability is really strong, and soon I became famous."

"After that, something very unpleasant happened. It was roughly because I wanted to return to China to develop. The company disagreed. The company wanted me to help expand the business in the mainland... Forget it, I won't mention this!"

"In 2008, I made my first movie, "Embroidered Spring Sword", which is a martial arts film."

"I have said on many occasions that the agent gave me the positioning of an actor at the beginning. I fought several times but failed. At that time, the route set by the agency team with me was a powerful idol actor."

"Then, I encountered another good thing. The crew that originally applied me suddenly didn't want to use me anymore! I'm really grateful to the director. If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have the chance to make my own movie!"

"Making movies is not as simple as you think. You can play with money, and you can play with money. You can play with money. You can play with independent movies! What I want to make is a commercial movie and needs mature distribution channels. Therefore, we must convince the distribution company, namely Huayi Brothers."

"The crew is unwilling to use me, which means I have no show to shoot, so I discussed with the agent whether I can shoot the work that I have conceived for five years first..."

Speaking of this, Xu Hui paused for a moment and looked at the audience in the audience with a smile: "The five years I just said are fake! In fact, it only took me three months from the script of "Embroidered Spring Sword" to the finalization of the script, which is the case in 2007!"

Xu Hui has been tempered for five years, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" is finally unsheathed!

This is a sad story that many people know. They think of an image of their tireless pursuit of movies.

Now, the person involved has torn the mask apart!

The audience was surprised in various ways.

"That's all about movie promotion. If you don't say something nice and don't describe the filming process a little harder. Who would like to spend money to watch your movie?"

"Continue to talk about "The Embroidered Spring Sword". My agent is Huang Wen. He is very famous in the circle and has a wide connection. As long as I can ask him to support me, the filming of the movie will be easy! Huang Wen put forward a condition. If I can convince Wu Jing to join, he will be willing to help me find Huayi brothers!"

"Then I ran to HK and pestered Wu Jingge for three days. He and I went back to the mainland with me. Then, Huang Wengen also fulfilled his promise and helped me convince Wang Zhonglei and agreed to produce "Embroidered Chunjian"!"

"After that, "Embroidered Spring Sword" sold 200 million yuan, and in a daze, I was labeled as a 200 million director by the media..."

"Just you guys, have you ever seen a big director like me?"

"without!"

The audience's answers were very uniform, and Xu Hui smiled: "Actually, I am really grateful to the film school that did not take me in. If they really accepted me, I might not have the opportunity to direct a commercial film so quickly, and my mentality would have changed."

"It's not ironic, I'm telling the truth! Because according to my previous life plan, I took the film academy and made movies after I came out. When I compared it with the actual situation, you will find that I have experienced a lot!"

"Without these experiences, I would never be like this!"

"The most likely thing I am to be absorbed by the academics and become a director that the audience hates."

The audience in the audience started to cheer, and of course they knew that Xu Hui was targeted when he said this.

"Don't scream, what I said is true. Some time ago, I was having a debate with a director online, including an interview with Sister Yang Lan. I said that I hate the self-righteous directors, but aren't the directors who graduated from the regular film school all like this! They stay away from the masses and like to explore human nature. The key is that they can't even discuss what's so..."

Xu Hui shrugged: "They deserve to be abandoned by the audience!"

"Back to the topic of my speech, why do I say that now is the best era of Chinese films? As a practitioner, I know very well how good the current market environment is!"

"In 2008, our box office results were 4.8 billion yuan, and so far this year, it has reached 2.9 billion yuan. It is expected that the box office revenue for the whole year will not be less than 6.5 billion yuan. In 10 years, it is very likely to exceed 10 billion. If we continue to develop at this rate, our annual box office results will reach 30 billion yuan by up to 15 years!"

"At that time, the market could accommodate a work with a box office of over one billion or even two billion or three billion!"

The audience in the audience disagreed. Even though they were fans of Xu Hui, they thought that what they said was too fantasy, with 1 billion or 2 billion. You should know that the box office for the whole year last year was only 2 billion!

Xu Hui ignored it and continued his speech: "With the market big, we have more confidence in making movies and are willing to try more genres."

"As such a good era, as a director, I certainly want to leave my own mark in this era!"

"The movie "Those Years" has helped me achieve a small goal and temporarily won the box office championship in the history of domestic films. Although I know that this result will soon be over, I am still quite happy."

The box office champion of film history is just a small goal. OK, this forced me to give you full marks.

"I said I wanted to film "Those Years". The company is not optimistic about this project. There is no star lineup. The only thing that is a bit famous is the starring actor and director Xu Hui. By the way, there are also a few guest actors."

The audience smiled knowingly again.

If the movie "Those Years" is a star lineup, there is indeed only Xu Hui who can be called a star. The other actors are all face-to-face. However, Zhou Xun, who appeared in the guest appearance, Li Bingbing and Hu Ge, are all big stars known to the public.

"But I don't really believe that the audience is watching movies just to see celebrities. Doesn't anyone really care about the story itself? Fortunately, I made a big profit in the first movie, and the company is very convinced by me. After the movie was released, it was very popular, proving that my vision was correct!"

"Someone asked me why I was so interested in a novel by Taiwan, and I had to do a lot of effort to adapt it. I answered, but the reason was actually very simple, because when I was reading the original book, I was moved!"

"A work that can move me will definitely move the audience!"
