Chapter 135 Return to China
We have also fantasized about what kind of person we will become, and life is a process of discovering that we are destined to be mediocre!
You just need to watch others' excitement, and God has other arrangements for you.
Love can make the proudest princess let go of her figure, and can also make the humblest coward full of courage.
These are the most true portrayals of Teacher Chen!
It is true that the main reason for posting this Weibo post suddenly is of course to promote the new movie.
On Zhihu, there is a question, how to evaluate Teacher Chen, the most liked one: Teacher Chen is very awesome!
An actor became a screenwriter and eventually became a director. His experience shows that an actor who does not want to be a director is not a good screenwriter. Original Time and Space, in the movie version of "Northern Ireland", Teacher Chen's debut directly scored 500 million yuan in box office results!
This is a very eye-catching data!
It is also the main reason why Wanda and Huayi are optimistic about him!
Thinking of Teacher Chen, Xu Hui suddenly thought of the big IP of "Chinatown".
There are many things that cannot be photographed in China and can be made into the "Chinatown" series, which is better than the "Chinatown Detective" and "Invisible Guests in Chinatown"...
Although Xu Hui is similar to Teacher Chen in essence, both are men with obvious "scumbag" attributes, who made him the protagonist? Can the protagonist do something bad?
Lu Xun said: Scholars steal books can only be considered stealing books. To extend it, the cannon fire cannons should also be said to be pity for the fragrance and jade!
...
On the 18th, Xu Hui returned to China.
The New Year holiday is still very intense. "Charlotte's Troubles" has been released for 20 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.2 billion yuan. "Private Customization" and "Police Story 2013" have been suppressed so much that they can't raise their heads at all!
"Private Customization" was released for one month, and its box office was barely over 500 million, nearly 200 million less than the original time and space. "Police Story 2013" also had a box office result of about 100 million less than the original time and space...
Facts have proved once again that movies are important in schedule and opponents!
Without the cooperation of teammates of pigs, how can a movie be reflected?
Just like "Detective Chinatown 2" looks even better against the backdrop of "Monster Hunt 2" and "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Daughters".
One truth...
Without the highlight of "Private Customization", the excellence of "Charlotte's Troubles", just like the original time and space "Hong Kong Empress" and "Charlotte's Troubles" were released at the same time, and the latter defeated its opponents with its reputation.
By the way, Director Feng is really a good helper for the progress of his juniors. Last year's "Lost in Thailand" set off by "1942", Bald Head Xu, and this year he used "Private Customization" to highlight the rise of the Happy Twist team.
He is cold in his eyes and looks at thousands of people, and he is willing to be a ox for a child!
However, he didn't care anymore. He was busy preparing for the 2014 Spring Festival Gala!
Although "Charlotte's Troubles" was produced and published by Huiwen, the structure of the entire story, including the first group of viewers, went for the sign of Happy Twist.
Chinese films have been developing for decades, and we can discover one thing one by one, that is: Chinese films have always lacked truly excellent IPs!
In other words, our expectations for ‘ip’ are greatly imposed on the director.
Audiences are always dissatisfied, and these problems will be caused when the boundaries between IP and humans are particularly blurred.
In the original time and space, from "Charlotte's Troubles" to "The Donkey Gets Water", to "The Shameful Iron Fist", and later "The Earl of Oolong Mountain", Happy Twishua's movies are all adapted from their dramas. They do very cautiously. Because it is common to change movies, there are also movies adapted from dramas, but few are particularly outstanding.
Moreover, the themes of all the movies of Happy Twist have obvious strengths and weaknesses.
All the power contrast, human relationships, and worldly sorrow are hidden in laughter and slowly discovered.
The three most important jobs in film production: director, screenwriter, and actor.
The requirements of Happy Twist for these three, or the requirements they put forward in working together, are very simple, that is, tell a good story. It does not need to be grand, but it must be a good story with sorrow, joy, pain and joy. The foundation of the drama stipulates the number of actors and the reality of the story.
Mahua's movie is simple and profound.
First, be faithful to the story.
It is nonsense to really talk about the secrets of their success. Any success in this era cannot be separated from the elements of luck.
But focusing on realist stories and people's hearts and using humorous language to feed bitter things into the audience's mouths must be in line with the current audience's interests.
ps: "Donkey Des Water" is not a work of the Happy Twist team, it is just a collaboration...
In fact, before investing in a movie, Happy Twist's profit per year is usually less than 20 million.
Xu Hui invested in Happy Twist at the end of 2008. At that time, Zhang Cheng never expected that Happy Twist would be in the midst of the future. It was the time of business difficulties, so he obtained nearly 40% of Happy Twist's equity for 50 million!
Since the release of "Charlotte's Troubles", Happy Twist has also begun to pursue listing. The first round of iPo is estimated at 8 billion...
Of course, Xu Hui's shares must have been diluted a lot, but they still retain 30% of the shares!
Wow, the 50 million investment was directly exchanged for nearly 40 times the profit!
...
I took a private plane and did not alarm the reporter.
Xu Hui returned to the company directly, and a series of celebrations were not shown. The biggest gain brought to the company during this awards season was of course the surge in stock prices.
Huiwen's stock price has been stable for a long time, and it is difficult to improve without any major stimulus.
Even when "Oriental Unbeaten" was released, Huiwen's stock price only rose by one percent...
"The central mother will have an interview later, you are ready!"
"The People's Daily will also send someone to interview..."
After the greetings were over, a bunch of schedules came over, and Xu Hui came back from the United States without caring about it.
“…Is it a telephone interview?”
"No, it's a live interview between the photography team!"
"News Broadcast?"
“… “News 30 points”!”
"It's almost a week since this has passed? Only the interview is now?"
"...You are not here!"
"All right…"
After all, it is a program of the Central Mother, and even if Xu Hui is unwilling to do so, he has to appear.
Half an hour later, the filming team walked into Xu Hui's office.
After the visit, Xu Hui thought for a while and asked, “…can you advertise?”
“…We are already advertising for you!”
...
The next day, at noon on the 19th, the Central Mother's "News 30 Minutes" started broadcasting on time.
Host Cui Zhigang stared at the teleprompter calmly: "A brief message is inserted below. Recently, the famous Chinese director Xu Hui won the three awards of Best Director, Best Film and Best Actor at the just-concluded 71st American TV Film Golden Globe Awards, becoming the first Chinese in film history to win this honor..."
"Sometimes ago, Xu Hui, director who returned to China to participate in the premiere of "Paradise Cinema", was interviewed by our reporter and expressed his confidence in domestic movies..."
Chapter completed!
