Chapter 132 Make a comedy!
When "1942" was released, Feng Xiaogang said: "The Israelites dare to look at their grief directly, and all the stories about their national tragedy can be sold well..."
In just this sentence, "1942" was labeled as a commercial film with the Fee national sentiment!
There are people boycotting "1942" everywhere on the Internet, "Why don't you make a documentary or charity film and let school units watch it for free? Why don't you donate the box office?"
Brother, is the production cost of 200 million yuan for free and you can watch it?
Huayi is really not a state-owned enterprise!
Listed companies have performance reports, and they are responsible to shareholders!
No one takes a photo, they say they forget history; some people take a photo and they say they are worse than documentaries; if they really make a photo, they will probably talk about brainwashing education...
Feng Xiaogang's contribution to Chinese films is not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words. Their generation of directors made the entire film market hot and created the concept of the New Year's holiday...
Of course, he is indeed a bit too pretentious...
...
"At this rate of growth, I estimate that the box office market will be 16 billion next year!"
Wang Zhongjun was full of confidence, and Feng Xiaogang continued to swear.
"I really didn't expect that when Huayi was first established, the total box office that year had not reached 1 billion, right?"
"Well, it's not a billion!"
‘Tsk tsk, the changes are so fast. Back then, a bunch of cinemas were transformed into karaoke bars and hair washing rooms, and now all of them have been changed back!’
"Ha ha!"
A group of people laughed.
Xu Hui also smiled.
Damn, where is the joke?
"…Mr. Xu, are you okay at the end of the year? If the time is right, come here to help me and play a role?"
It's all about bluffing!
Xu Hui was shocked, what's the point, asking me to act?
"Just the script you wrote, "Old Cannon", I derived a story based on the script, "Xiao Ye", which is the story of Xiao Fei in you. I think your image is very suitable for him!"
Guan Hu looked at Xu Hui very seriously and sincerely sent an invitation!
"I may not have time for this..."
Xu Hui turned his head and looked at Guan Jiu.
What I thought was that the copyright of "Old Cannon" belongs to Huiwen World. What qualifications do you have to do spin-off dramas?
Guan Ju is a very talented director. He prefers to express some marginal characters who are not so integrated into the mainstream group and are not so sociable. He has the indignation of doing art!
From the black comedy movie "Bullfighting", the absurd suspense drama "Killing", to the action movie "Cook·Actor·Ruby", and the subsequent "Old Cannon", Guan Ku never favors any theme, but tries from multiple sources!
He has a very famous saying: "A country only needs two or three hundred better movies, and Chinese movies are not too few but too many!"
Of course, he is a director who relies heavily on actors.
Without a good actor, he is just a mediocre director, and "Yellow Skin Grave" is very trash...
"...I'll tell you that if you change someone, you'll have to find Mr. Xu, who is also a famous director! How could you have time to make your movie?"
Feng Xiaogang suddenly spoke.
There is an inexplicable irony in the words.
What do you know he took the wrong medicine...
Yes, you have a high status in the world, a senior, and have been praised as the four famous directors. But who is Xu Hui?
Not to mention that his value is enough to buy Huayi, just his movie, if you pick up any movie, the box office results can beat Feng Xiaogang's movie, except for "The Embroidered Spring Knife"...
Let’s put it this way, Xu Hui is Zhang Yimou’s boss!
...
In fact, this matter is very simple to say, Xu Hui starred in "Search"!
Although Brother Chen Kai has a good relationship with Feng Xiaogang and others, his Huayi Brothers have never interfered in his movie.
On the surface, Feng Xiaogang admires Chen Kai very much and calls him "Kai Ye" whenever he meets everyone, but there are times when directors compete!
Otherwise, after Zhang Yimou finished filming "Heroes", Huayi immediately created a "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". Of course, this drama was invested by Colombia, but the distribution was handed over to Huayi...
Feng Xiaogang filmed "Night Banquet" to prove that he could play that set of things.
Xu Hui starred in a movie by Brother Chen, but refused to star in Guan Kui's work, which made Feng Xiaogang unable to see it.
In addition, the alcoholism was a little awkward, so he said.
"You speak so badly. I told you that I couldn't stand him several times. Are there anyone who broke the crowd like you? Do you Beijingers speak like this?"
Zhang Guoli made a smooth move.
The whole bureau laughed again, and Feng Xiaogang laughed too...
Lao Zhang is definitely a good player in creating atmosphere. He made the embarrassment disappear in just a few words, but Xu Hui knew that the matter must be not over yet!
"Haha, I'm really worried..." Ying Guan Ju, Xu Hui explained: "Starting next month, I'll go to Italy for preliminary surveys, and there are two dramas to be filmed next year!"
"There are two more dramas?"
Wang Zhonglei was a little surprised.
There are so many fast gunners in the circle. In the golden age of Hong Kong movies, there was a pioneering move to finish a movie in seven days.
Even Feng Xiaogang has released two of his works a year.
But that's an exception. It took more than 20 days to perform in "If You Are the One 2" filming according to Wang Shuo's script.
Xu Hui's movie speed is well-known in the entire industry, and he is known as the real fast gunner...
"Is it a martial arts movie?"
Zhang Guoli stared at Xu Hui and asked.
"No, I'm going to make a foreign language film and another comedy in the second half of the year!"
Xu Hui expressed his plans with a calm look on his face.
"Comedy? Are you going to do comedy?"
When this statement comes out, the one who is most surprised is Huang Wen!
Too sudden!
According to the company's original plan, Xu Hui should start filming the "Die Renjie" series. Why did he suddenly change the shooting plan?
"Well, after "Paradise Cinema", I am going to make a comedy movie called "Beautiful Life". I am quite satisfied with the script, and it is a new attempt. After all, I have never made a comedy!"
In the box, several people were stunned for a moment, and the first thing they realized was Feng Xiaogang: "Is it an urban-themed comedy?"
"No... I can't tell what the subject matter is, but it's just funny!"
Xu Hui smiled mysteriously.
"Beautiful Life" is certainly not a comedy, but its whole story is absurd.
Xu Hui has always wanted to transform. Although "The Heaven Cinema" is very good, it is an Italian movie after all, not a Chinese movie.
Moreover, its entire core determines that it is not suitable for adapting into a Chinese movie!
Of course, "Beautiful Life" is not a Chinese movie, but if you modify the background and character settings, you can still localize it.
The male protagonist is a bandit in the Northeast. The female protagonist is a teacher who is proficient in Japanese on the surface, but in fact she is an underground worker of our party. After encountering each other, the male protagonist is obscenely wrapped around the female protagonist, and then they fall in love...
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the male protagonist gradually became an underground worker with firm belief under the influence of the female protagonist, and the two had a child.
The Japanese army repeatedly suspected the male protagonist, but he cleverly resolved it. The last time, the male protagonist said to his son, 'Child, let's play a game, someone will pretend to take his father away later. You have to hide in the cellar now, don't cry or laugh, wait until dark to come out. If you can do it, I will reward you...'
