Chapter 138 Dinner

"Watching Movie" magazine can be regarded as the Bible about movies in the minds of a generation of audiences!

It is mainly edited by Zhou Liming, Cheng Qingsong, Bi Cheng and others. It was originally published every month, but in the Internet era, it was too late to publish a single edition in a month.

What's the point of writing the movies?

Therefore, after establishing a public account, whenever a work with a lot of attention is on the market, they will write a review.

The contributor of this article titled "Really Deserved" is Zhou Liming!

He really liked the movie.

In this era when heavy-tasting movies are rampant, every director and every actor are trying their best to show themselves. Actors are trying hard to waste themselves in order to win awards, losing 20 kilograms, losing 30 kilograms or gaining weight, acting as homosexuals, and acting as mentally...

If you don’t do this, you won’t be able to show the director’s level or an actor!

"Cinema Paradise" narrates movies and life in a very plain way...

The more ordinary the movie is, you can see the director’s skills!

"Is that good?"

Cheng Qingsong, as the first audience, saw this review and looked at Zhou Liming with some doubts.

He was a little unbelievable about Xu Hui...

As the most famous gay in the circle, Cheng Qingsong has no good impression of Xu Hui!

You said, if you are so handsome, why are you not a gay man?

That face was wasted!

"…You go and see it yourself!"

Too lazy to explain, Zhou Liming called Huang Wen.

He wants to have an interview...

...

However, as expected, "Paradise Cinema" has a high rating, with Douban scores as high as 9.5 on the first day, and Time.com's rating is also as high as 9.8...

"Love ended without success, the theater collapsed and disintegrated, imperfect perfection..."

"Life is not a movie, but this movie deeply touched me;"

"The movie is not strong in color and the narrative style is relatively calm, but it is indeed an aftertaste movie with rich plot and emotions!"

"This is destined to be a classic in the hearts of movie fans, because it hits the inner feelings and presence of every movie fan. Although it is not perfect, those uncontrollable restraints and overly sensational scenes, they will not affect the emotional resonance it brings. And those perceptions of love and life are worth thinking about! "Life is different from movies, and life is much more difficult."

In terms of reputation, it hit a new high for Xu Hui's movies!

The film critics also tried their best to applaud...

Unfortunately, the box office on the first day was only 32 million...

Of course, he won the single-day box office championship, but 32 million yuan, almost not exceeding the "Charlotte Troubles" that has been released for 23 days.

Thirty-eight percent of the screening volume...

It did not meet Xu Hui's previous expectations.

Anyway, this is Xu Hui’s first work that has won international awards!

Although Huiwen did not arrange any meetings for the main creators, relying on the influence of the central mother, "Paradise Cinema" has a great influence. Even in the past few days, the first link that Du Niang searched for "Paradise Movies" was the first link that jumped out was "Paradise Cinema" instead of the previous pirated website...

The first day of 32 million...

The box office was much lower than the first day of the second movie "Those Years"!

Xuhuizhe is more willing to believe that this is because several people are willing to go to the cinema to induce...

"First of all, this is a movie that focuses on long shots and has a relatively soothing rhythm. I want to tell a story about a movie. All I need is that the audience will devote themselves to the story, and there is no show-off!"

Xu Hui was interviewed by "Watching Movies".

"Xu Hui, I admit that "Paradise Cinema" will be a movie that can stand the test of time, but one thing must be said: When I was watching movies in the cinema, there were some ordinary movie fans sitting around me. I heard that many of your fans don't like "Paradise Cinema"..."

"…This is normal, after all, what they may be expecting is that I can shoot an action movie..."

Xu Hui waved his hand with a wry smile: "Actually, I had expected that "Paradise Cinema" is not suitable for theater screenings. If I follow my ideas, I originally wanted to upload it directly to the video website, and everyone could watch movies online for free. However, I still want to try it out in theaters...

A movie like "Paradise Cinema" must not be able to let his inherent fans listen to it!

But the negative impact is also limited. In fact, almost all big-name commercial directors have the experience of directing art films.

Zhang Yimou once said: The younger generation of Chinese directors must grasp both hands and be strong both hands!

The so-called two-handed approach means that you must be able to make art films and understand how commercial films work...

"Then what do you think of this situation? Good movies don't sell well!"

"...This is normal. All literary and artistic dramas around the world cannot sell commercial films. They are called the greatest "Shawshank Redemption". The box office in North America is only 28 million US dollars... Taking the North American market as an example, 660 movies released last year, of which 130 movies had a box office of over 10 million US dollars, and only 216 movies had a box office of over one million US dollars. Most of them are actually commercial films released by mainstream film production companies!"

“…So, you think…”

"I think it's great if movies like "Paradise Cinema" can make profits through box office!"

35 million US dollars in investment, nearly 30 million US dollars in public relations, marketing, and publicity expenses. As of now, the box office of "Paradise Cinema" in North America has reached 55 million US dollars, with a global box office of over 100 million...

The subsequent DVD sales, Internet, TV copyrights, etc. are not difficult to make profits!

"…Ask you a more personal question, what kind of director do you want to be? Or, do you want to be like that director in the future?"

"There is no specific standard, either. Kubrick is very good. As long as he thinks, his film works are actually very personal, but they can all be profitable. I think this is what most filmmakers desire; Spielberg, Eastwood, Woody Allen are over 60 years old and can still maintain the initial love for the movie! These filmmakers are role models for me, and I will always work hard to make excellent works."

...

After dealing with the reporter, Xu Hui returned to the car.

The weather is so sunny and the mood is so generous. Assistant Mu Hua smiles like a fool...

Xu Hui looked at him strangely, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?"

"…Hehe, Miss Rouba took over "Mulan", she is really my idol!"

"…You quit the group!"

"What?"

"It's okay...wait..."

The phone rang, it was Feng Xiaogang called...

"Hey, Director Feng, yes, it's me..."

After three minutes, Xu Hui hung up the phone, his expression a little weird.

"Brother Xu, what's wrong?"

"...It's okay, Brother Chen, let's go to xx community."

Notified me to actually change the route, and after thinking about it, Xu Hui called Huang Wen.

"Brother Wen, Director Feng called me just now..."

"Spring Festival Gala Director? Oh, I understand!"

"He called me just now and said he wanted to welcome me, probably because he wanted to pull me on the boat..."
