Chapter 129 "Search"

Three major awards for Chinese films.

Golden horse, golden rooster, golden statue.

The Golden Rooster is not going to participate in the Golden Rooster selection in this life. It is too weird. Once every two years, such a cycle will inevitably lead to a serious lag in timeliness. "Huang Feihong" has signed up...

Xu Hui nominated the Best Director, and Wu Jing also nominated the Best Actor.

However, this year's Golden Rooster is very popular. If there is no mistake in memory, the best director seems to have given Chen Li. The best feature film should be "Flying"...

However, Xu Hui still has a great chance.

After all, the influence of "Huang Feihong" is there.

On October 22, Xu Hui must have gone to An*hui.

As for the Golden Horse Awards…

Forget it, this year will definitely be the world of "Seed Kebale" and "Peach Sister"!

...

Objectively speaking, "The Lion King's Battle" is already a miracle of Chinese-language movies, or the "Huang Feihong" series.

First of all, in terms of box office, the trilogy had a cumulative box office of up to 3 billion, which directly established Xu Hui's unrivaled position in mainland commercial films.

Secondly, influence, especially overseas influence, has also created the best Chinese-language films.

"Transformers 3" has been released worldwide, and most regions have ended the screening of "The Lion King" and has ended. So far, the cumulative overseas box office has reached US$380 million, and North America has contributed nearly 160 million!

"Wong Feihong" has exceeded US$300 million in global box office;

"Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing" almost exceeded 500 million;

In "The Lion King Battle", he won $560 million!

The best Chinese film history!

Wu Jing also became another kung fu superstar who successfully entered Hollywood after Brother Cheng and Li Lianjie.

As for Xu Hui, he personally received a lot of olive branches from Hollywood, and the conditions offered were very exciting, with a basic salary of up to 5 million US dollars!

However, Xu Hui obviously could not leave the mainland and go to North America.

Wu Jing had similar thoughts to him.

"…What’s wrong with you?"

I met Wu Jing again on July 25th. This guy has a beard that is obviously much thinner, not like the strong man in "Huang Feihong".

“…The pressure is too great!”

Wu Jing sat down and took a cup of tea handed over by Xu Hui: "I used to be just an actor, but now I am not only an actor but also a director, but also a fatal one. I am also in charge of the screenwriter. How can I understand the screenwriter if you say I know anything?"

He sighed: "I haven't had a good sleep since taking over "The Wind of Kings"!"

"…You've gotten used to it slowly. By the way, didn't Brother Zhizhong help you?"

"He? He has no clue than me!"

Yes, you two have an actor and one martial arts director. The investment in "The Wind of Kings" is 120 million. Anyone will be cautious if this thing is replaced.

If you mess up this opening work, the "New Huang Feihong" trilogy will come to an end...

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just follow the storyboard to shoot. The crew is full of old people, and you don't know each other."

“…You said lightly!”

Wu Jing couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Come on, I believe you have no problem!"

"...Why don't you come to the crew to help? I'm really not sure..."

"I have something else to do, Director Chen Kai..."

"Search, right? It's all spread!"

Wu Jing took the conversation and asked: "...I really don't understand you. You said you don't lack money or fame, why do you want to act in a movie?"

“…”

Cannon Hui was speechless.

It can’t be said that it was because I didn’t think about the rhythm at that time and I was a gentleman who was digging a hole but not filling it out!

...

"Search" is a movie that has a good reputation after "Farewell My Concubine".

By the way, it makes money!

"Fengyue" lost about 30 million;

"Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King", investment: 70 million, 2 million yuan in mainland China, 10 million yuan in global box office, and a loss of 66 million yuan;

"Wuji", investment: 240 million, box office: 170 million, loss: 180 million;

"Mei Lanfang", investment: 50 million, box office: 100 million, loss: 16 million;

"Orphan of Zhao", investment: 80 million, box office: 180 million, loss: 20 million;

"Search", investment: 40 million, box office: 180 million, profit: 20 million;

Of course, these are just conclusions drawn based on the mainland box office, and overseas box office is not counted.

Brother Chen Kai has an old habit of being difficult to recover, which is also the common problem of his generation of mainland directors. That is, the education they received when they were studying in the film school was that they praised art films and despised Hollywood-style "industrial films". Therefore, even if they received huge investments to make commercial blockbusters, they also used the mindset of making art films to create commercial films, and were addicted to light and shadow lenses. They only didn't know how to tell a story that was popular and easy to accept by the public.

However, "Search" is obviously an exception!

First of all, this work has a very strong story, it is a story of a beautiful woman who gave up her seat to death.

Brother Chen Kai did not try to elevate "Search" to any philosophical aspects.

This is also the main reason why Xu Hui agreed to take on this movie.

Of course, he also has expectations for Dameiyuan!

Unfortunately, Dameiyuan was replaced by Yaya...

...

Although Brother Chen Kai lost all kinds of money, his reputation lies here.

The three major directors in the mainland are unstoppable.

Therefore, before the filming of "Search" started, it had received a lot of sponsorships, of course Ning*bo City, because all the scenes of "Search" were filmed in Ning*bo.

There are too many shots about Ning *bo in the movie, Tianyi Square, Heyi Avenue, Westin Hotel, Ning *bo Art Museum...

It can be understood that "Search" is actually Ning *bo's promotional video.

On July 26, Xu Hui arrived at the crew by plane.

The one who picked up the plane was Du Hao, who was the publicity director of "Search".

Nowadays, most movies have started marketing routines in advance when they are still filming. As long as the actors are in place, a six-month cycle should be enough!

In fact, at the beginning, Brother Chen was aiming at this year's New Year's Day, but this year's New Year's Day, Zhang Yimou was directly pkating Xu Hui.

The overall situation has been decided, so it is better not to get too bad, so the release time has been moved to next year.

After a few simple conversations, Du Hao is also a veteran who has been immersed in film marketing for more than ten years. Xu Hui himself attaches great importance to film marketing.

In his opinion, bad movies need marketing, and good movies need marketing. They always rely on tap water, so how can there be so many?

What if the water is cut off?

"What I annoyed the most is Zhang Weipin. Every time a movie is released, there is only one trick, 'Don't cry after watching it, come to me!" "The Ten-sided Ambush" is like this, "The Love of Hawthorn Tree" is still the same trick. I guess he must have played this trick when "The Flowers of War" is released!"

"It's different now. In the era of self-media, film critics and big Vs have become the hardest hit areas of word-of-mouth marketing. The God of Wealth once pointed out on Weibo: 'When I praise a domestic movie, you don't have to believe it, because it's probably a favor'"

"I never praise other people's movies!"

"...That's right, you are Xu Hui!"
Chapter completed!
