Chapter 190 "Ke Fan Listens"

Don’t get me wrong, Paohui and Huiwen Tianxia have no intention of using Zhang Yimou’s private life to make a big fuss.

no need!

If you really want to talk about private life, Paohui's will is famous for the entire circle. Zhang Weipin's designation has also received some news. He can adhere to the basic qualities of a person in the circle and remain silent. Why can't Xu Hui do it?

How to say it?

Paohui has always wanted to bring Zhang Yimou into Huiwen's world, even if it is just affiliated with the company!

Damn, the company doesn’t have a veteran filmmaker in charge, and it always seems to be unconfidence!

Originally, Brother Chen Kai was a good candidate, but unfortunately, Xu Hui and Huang Wen didn’t like him. If you sign him, in addition to the possibility of rising stock prices in a short period of time, once his movie is released, wait for the stock price to plummet!

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", "The Legend of the Demon Cat"...

All kinds of losses!

Huiwen has no plans to build a film and television city for the time being...

If you want to win over Zhang Yimou, the first thing you need to consider is his pillow!

Zhang Yimou is quite speechless. His life is nothing but movies!

In addition to film creation, Zhang Yimou's catchphrase is: I don't care. To put it bluntly, even if I feel annoyed, I can't deal with it. So I recognized Zhang Weipin, an acquaintance, as the boss, and Lao Mouzi worked for him.

Zhang Yimou's father expressed his views on Zhang Weipin to his son many times during his lifetime: Don't get too close to him, such a person is so cunning that you can't play with him.

Even his friend Ken Takakura once said a passage in his letter to Zhang Yimou, which was the general meaning: You must stick to your inner pursuit of art and not be bound or controlled by the producer.

When his old lover Gong Li was filming "The Golden Armor in the City", there was a piece in the contract: he refused to meet Zhang Weipin and his wife during the entire shooting and promotion process!

From family members, friends to former lovers, they all expressed their disgust towards Zhang Weipin.

However, Zhang Yimou has always insisted on cooperating with him. Is it because of money for men's singles?

Later, the "Culhuwa" incident broke out, and Zhang Yimou's income became transparent. After more than ten years of cooperation, Zhang Yimou only received more than 10 million yuan in five consecutive movies from "Hero" to "Three Guns".

Tsk tsk, the global box office of "Heroes" and "The Ambush" alone has exceeded 2 billion!

As for "The Flowers of War", Lao Touzi paid 0 yuan!

According to the publicity, if you invest 600 million yuan, the new picture will lose money, and I will lose money. I will give you money for Mao?

Such a director is simply the favorite of every investor!

The box office was 2 billion, and I only received a pay of 10 million. Damn it, this return on investment...

Xu Hui firmly believed that Lao Touzi should have been tired of Zhang Weipin's various media reports, especially accusing the bed scenes.

This thing has already involved a director's artistic bottom line!

During the promotional period of "The Flowers of War", Zhang Weipin grabbed the bed scenes of Nini and Christian Bale and promoted the promotion. Zhang Yimou was once furious: The theme of the movie is the anti-Japanese war, and the theme itself is sensitive, and it took great pains to shoot it and passed the review. Are you shameless to use such a vulgar publicity?

Of course, if "The Flowers of War" can win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film or the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, then everything will be easy to say...

Unfortunately, Xu Hui knew this history, and "The Flowers of War" was not even qualified to be shortlisted. It seemed that he was abandoned after the second round of voting...

In a word, the two of them broke up with each other was quite fun. Zhang Yimou wrote a breakup letter to Zhang Weipin...

...

"Kefan Listening" is an interview program that is positioned as an elite culture, which is somewhat similar to "Yang Lan Interview". However, the coverage of "Kefan Listening" is not as wide as "Yang Lan Interview". It is a program that is positioned in Shanghai because its broadcast platform is the Art and Humanities Channel of Shanghai TV.

Very high ratings!

Especially in Shanghai, it has always been in the top three!

The host is Cao Kefan.

It's quite embarrassing, because Cao Kefan played a small role in "The Flowers of War" and was the Japanese translator, with very few shots...

Everyone knows the "hostile" relationship between "The Flowers of War" and "New Longmen Inn".

There is no way, Xu Hui wants to use the other party to promote the movie, and the other party also wants to use Xu Hui's influence to expand the ratings of the program, and the best of both worlds!

When they met Cao Kefan, the two of them had a brief chat first, and then the program started recording.

The program site was a study room with a very simple layout, and there were no audiences, and the two of them sat opposite each other.

"Hello, Director Xu Hui, "New Dragon Inn" has been released nationwide and has a very gratifying box office. It has won 220 million yuan in three days of release. The audience also reported it very well. Director Xu Hui has been in the industry for four years and has made five or six movies. What does "New Dragon Inn" mean to you?"

Cao Kefan's hosting style is like this, there is no nonsense, just go straight to the point.

It is estimated that this has something to do with the duration of the program. 20 minutes, plus the interstitial advertisement, the opening and ending highlights, the real playback time is only about 15 minutes. Even if it is cut into two episodes, it will only be half an hour...

Let’s pick up some of the audience’s most concerned questions!

"Maybe it's just completing a self-challenge."

Xu Hui pondered for a few seconds, then replied: "First of all, I think d and imax will be the future development trend of movies. As the most Chinese-style type of film, how can martial arts movies adapt to new development needs? How can more viewers be willing to go to the theater to watch movies? The emergence of d is an opportunity. Through d, we don't need to describe the environment, and the audience can naturally be substituted into it. The combination of d and Chinese martial arts has realized my long-standing idea, which is to present the real world of martial arts in front of the audience!"

"I watched "New Dragon Gate". I'm bluntly speaking, I think the two actors who performed best in it should be Wan Qian and Chen Kun. How did you find these two actors?"

"Actually, in my opinion, they are the two of them who performed the best! Chen Kun saw him when he met him. There were many actors in the circle and many of them had acting skills, but there were actually very few male actors like Chen Kun who had both acting skills and understanding of the sensibility. I admire such actors very much. As for Wan Qian, maybe at a certain point, I think she is quite similar to Jin Xiangyu. When I met her, I was in a cafe, which happened to be the promotion of "Sunshine Sisters". When I saw her for the first time, I thought this girl was good!"

"You have worked with so many actors, but you rarely work with Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. Is it because..."

Cao Kefan didn't finish his words, but Xu Hui had already answered: "Actually, I'm already preparing to find Mr. Liang Jiahui in Zhou Huaian this time. He has no time and the schedule has expired. Then I found Nie Yuan. My requirements for actors are quite simple. First, they meet the image. Second, the lines must be clearly stated. The common problem of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is that they lack the skills of lines, which means they are not standard in Mandarin. I can't accept this!"

"It can be solved through post-dubbing!"

"…My movies are all concurrent voices, and there is no post-dubbing. Besides, Hollywood actors can speak different dialects, so why can't our actors do it?"

This topic ended here, Cao Kefan changed his direction: "As a director, what do you think is the most ideal actor like?"

"The ideal actor?"

Xu Hui frowned, and his mind floated over Manshen, Gong Huang, Aunt Qingxia, and of course Zhang Guorong. After thinking for about five seconds, he replied: "So far, I am quite satisfied with the actors I work with, because I found them and found them according to the requirements of the characters. Of course, if you want to say the most ideal, this is difficult to define in words. If I meet an actor who needs me to do my best to show her charm, I think that should be the most ideal actor!"

"…I thought you would say Wan Qian?"

"Sister Wan is of course a good actor, but her performance is still within my control."

"...Have you watched "The Flowers of War"? Zhang Yimou also came to our scene some time ago. He was very satisfied with Bell and called him..."

"Yeah, I saw it."
