Chapter 141 Life is life, and movies are movies!

When "Old Cannon" was released, some viewers asked why Chen Baoguo was not allowed to play the role of Sixth Master?

"The Great Mansion" Bai Qiye, a famous family, also fought with Beijing-style and elegant genius, and was a bit of a scholar and twisted his temper. The Beijing-style old guns were all flowing with a trace of old Beijing ancestors when they started.

However, he is a little soft-hearted and is not suitable to play an old street gangster like Liu Ye!

Some people also say that Jiang Wen is quite suitable. Uh, Jiang Wen, Jingkong, courtyard, and fighting. He can be said to be a good player, holding a handful of master. However, he is too burly. Imagine the scene of running forward with a Japanese knife at the end. The audience's psychology should be worried about Xiaofei and the others.

Some people also say that Wang Zhiwen is very good, yes, Wang Zhiwen is indeed not bad, but Lao Wang has not proved his market appeal in recent years.

When investing in a drama, you have to consider making a profit, right?

Feng Xiaogang is definitely the most suitable candidate!

The problem is, Feng Xiaogang is not a professional actor!

Among the people here, Director Chen and Mr. Ge are all pure actors.

"…I? I can't do it, it's okay to make a guest appearance..."

Feng Xiaogang subconsciously refused.

Xu Hui also persuaded: "No, my character is written according to you, and there is a line in it, 'I want to slap you so much', and it's just you scolded the reporter, I thought of it!"

"Xiaogang's acting skills are pretty good," Wang Shuo said: "I am your father" is very good!"

"I Am Your Dad" is a good movie with a Douban score of 7.9, but in fact it can be completely calculated to be above 9 points. Unfortunately, Wang Shuo's writing is not bad, but when it comes to directing the show, it is much worse, and the editing is too messy!

This film was judged for the best film at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland in 2000.

Jiang Wen once said that Feng Xiaogang is not doing his job as an actor or a director...

...

"Let's not talk about Master Six, let's talk about it, who is the right one to look for?"

"How is Xu Jingjing?"

"Too young, aren't you?"

“…Where is Liu Pei?”

"Liu Pei is so good, but he feels a little bit unable to hold on..."

"Xu Hui, have you ever thought about whom you want to find?"

"I don't have a specific substitution for this actor..."

Xu Hui did not join the discussion.

What I hate most is talking about is that I talk about works with people at the dining table. In my previous life, Xu Hui often had to participate in such a game.

There is no way, the way for small people to survive!

There is a saying in the entertainment industry: Any role that looks awkward and has a lot of scenes after the show is definitely a relative of the investor.

Commonly known as bringing funds into the group!

When it was time and space, Xu Hui, director, had no say in his words, so he naturally had to withstand this pressure.

This kind of thing is very common, even "Die Renjie" is stuffed in Da Tiantian!

Therefore, if you live a lifetime, Xu Huiding's role is usually decided by himself.

"Xiaobo and Xiaofei have to choose a younger one, and they have to be popular!"

"Well, I'll talk to Zhonglei..."

...

Several people were still discussing "Old Cannon", and Zheng Xiaolong took the initiative to chat with Xu Hui.

Naturally, I talked about the currently released "Paradise Cinema".

"In China, I'm very satisfied if I can exceed 300 million. After all, it's a foreign language film, and the things I tell are far from the audience!"

Xu Hui scooped a spoonful of duck soup, took a sip, and then replied.

"...It's still a little less, with a box office of 300 million...how much is your investment?"

"35 million US dollars, Mr. Zheng, can't calculate that." When it comes to box office, Xu Hui's face became much more serious: ""Paradise Cinema" mainly faces the local American market, and in North America alone, we expect to get a box office of about 80 million US dollars, which can almost make a profit. The domestic box office is net profit!"

"And the market conditions at this stage are too immature, so let's slowly cultivate them. When this group of audiences mature..."

"Yes, there is indeed a problem with the current audience's vision!"

Zheng Xiaolong sighed.

"In the long run, this is a good thing, and the audience will definitely not want to be eye-catching by bad movies. The market is getting bigger and bigger now, too..."

Before Xu Hui finished speaking, Feng Xiaogang interrupted: "Didn't you say you want to shoot a comedy? Did you shoot it?"

"Now," Xu Hui glanced at Feng Xiaogang: "The script is ready, the starring actors have been selected. After the Oscars, I will start filming!"

“Oscar…”

"Xu Hui, how confident are you?"

"…50%! Actually, it was just a coincidence. At the beginning, I went to Cannes, and I was unintentionally planting willows and willows. There was no chance in Cannes, but the United States was quite popular!"

This is the truth.

According to Xu Hui's original plan, he was not prepared to expect "Paradise Cinema" to win in the awards season.

Also, the union award will begin soon, and Xu Hui will have to fly back to the United States to prepare.

"If you win an Oscar, you'll be a big director! You're still filming comedy?"

"...What a great director, I'm a filmmaker." Xu Hui waved his hand politely: "Come on, of course I have to continue filming. My filming plan has been booked."

"Comedy movies, especially urban comedy, are quite interesting. The market is now here. Look, the box office is so high every year, but more than one-third of them are comedy movies!"

Feng Xiaogang likes to talk about box office very much. When he talks about this, he seems to think of something: "The "Charlotte Troubles" in your company will be 1.5 billion soon? Good guy, I just squeezed my "Private Customization" out of schedule!"

When he said this, he had a hint of unnatural expression on his face.

The director of "Charlotte" is Mahua's two drama directors, and she is not famous. Even with the support of Huiwen, the average screening volume in the three days before the release was less than 28%, which is not as good as "Private Customization"...

Of course, the number of screens afterwards soared, with the highest peak being 46% of screens...

It is a typical reputation to win the market!

"I'll say what I mean, Director Feng, don't be angry..." Xu Hui looked at Feng Xiaogang seriously: "Happy Mahua's group of people are targeting young people in their twenties, and they happen to be the mainstream viewing group. The movie "Charlotte's Troubles" has no feelings and does not talk about politics, but it just captures the audience's laughter!"

"Then what do you think of "Private Customization"?"

How about "Private Customization"?

From the director's perspective, Feng Xiaogang tempted the bottom line of censorship of critical reality.

The subsequent "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" even satirized the officialdom!

From this perspective, Feng Xiaogang, as the director, has made unlimited contributions.

He himself said: 'I have fulfilled the responsibility of a director to Chinese films, whether it is creation or market...'

However, "Private Customization" is really bad, and the minimum story is not smooth!

There is no coherence in the three sketches...

To be honest, if the director of "Private Customization" was not Feng Xiaogang, I guess the box office was not even 200 million...

After thinking about it, Xu Hui gave a pertinent evaluation: "As an experimental work, the courage of "Private Customization" is commendable!"
