Chapter 133: Maverick

A few side dishes, plus two kinds of mutton, it can be said that Peng Xiangming's invitation is not generous at all.

Dai Xiaofei tasted them one by one, but she didn't think it was particularly delicious, but she didn't seem to think it was unpleasant, and it tasted quite cheerful.

And quickly picked up the topic that was in the car just now.

It is said that she and Zhou Shunqing met more than a year ago, when she was in a group with Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu happened to play her father, Zhou Shunqing was in the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, and went to visit the class, and the two soon met.

In her words, in this circle, it is not easy to make a close friend, most of your peers look up to you, either reject or please, it is difficult to have a reciprocal heart-to-heart, and if you are not your peers, many things cannot be talked about together.

Therefore, her relationship with Zhou Shunqing is not bad.

Because although Zhou Shunqing herself was not in the entertainment industry at the time, her parents were both stars in the circle and their popularity was enough, so she couldn't afford to stammer Dai Xiaofei, and the age difference of one or two years also allowed the two to basically find common topics of the same age group smoothly.

Of course, Peng Xiangming has come into contact with many women in the past six months, and he has gradually been able to understand that the "not bad" in the mouth of a girl or a woman often means "average".

It's slightly better than a nodding acquaintance, but it's by no means a nod to talk.

Then, she complained without scruples that Cheng Yu actually had a little girlfriend again.

Peng Xiangming couldn't help but didn't tell her that this girl was Zhou Shunqing's classmate, but he didn't expect that the fire would burn on him immediately.

Dai Xiaofei asked him: "Do you men have a very short freshness period? Especially like you and Uncle Cheng, do you handsome men especially like to change girlfriends?"

Peng Xiangming stuffed a mouthful of mutton into his mouth, thought about it, and shook his head, "I didn't change it!"

Dai Xiaofei looked at him with a smile, "Hey, you and Qi Yuan...... Are you boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

Peng Xiangming nodded, "It's not counted, it's just!"

"Oh!" she nodded, taking her glass, "Come on!"

In the glass is white wine, 52 degrees Fenjiu.

In fact, in the last two contacts, Peng Xiangming has always been a little puzzled. It is rumored that Dai Xiaofei is Dongsheng's little princess, plus her father is relatively rich and well-connected, although she has entered the entertainment industry, whether it is from the perspective of her family or the company, she has always been well protected.

The so-called protection, of course, is a kind of control!

But look at it now...... There's nothing to be taught!

The two meetings were both cocktail parties, Dai Xiaofei basically did what she wanted, where she wanted to go, and she was very free.

Like now, it is so easy to run to a small shop, and eat alone with a man by yourself, and say that you will drink alcohol - high liquor!

Where is the shadow of discipline here?

With a "ding" sound, the cup touched, Peng Xiangming asked her, "Congratulations to me what?"

"Congratulations on being bound! haha...... Congratulations on your beauty!

She actually took a big sip, put down the cup, and pursed her lips, "Well, it's still good to drink liquor." ”

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment.

"Why don't you drink it?" she asked.

Peng Xiangming picked up the cup and took a sip, it was so spicy.

Putting down the glass, he asked, "You drink well?"

Dai Xiaofei grinned, "Why do you want to pour this out? You just say, how much can you drink!"

Regarding this, Peng Xiangming has never dared to brag, and he said to the less, "Four taels, half a catty, it's almost the same, and I'm already dizzy." ”

Dai Xiaofei continued to smile, "Then I understand, you definitely can't drink me!"

I'll go!

At the cocktail party just now, when I saw Dai Xiaofei drinking the wine that Cheng Yu got from, she was also very elegantly sipping one sip at a time, Peng Xiangming never imagined that Dai Xiaofei would be so able to drink!

And then Peng Xiangming found out that Dai Xiaofei was really able to drink.

Two taels of glasses, pour more than half a glass of wine, people drank it all in a few sips, and repeatedly said that Fenjiu is fragrant.

He also casually commented on the world's famous wine, "Sake is not interesting, wine is that thing, put aside our ancient times, isn't it fruit wine? The vodka is too strong, and the whiskey is okay, but the whiskey, which can be considered delicious in the mouth, is fried at a sky-high price at every turn, as if it is really powerful, I can't get used to it. When it comes to wine, I still think baijiu is the best, especially Fenjiu! It's a deceitful taste, and it's easier to get drunk. ”

To be honest, Peng Xiangming was dumbfounded.

After a pause, he said: "Among the people I know, I was also at the drinking party just now, Du Siming you know, right, just him, three or four catties of liquor, like a child, you two drink one another day, I will applaud you!"

Dai Xiaofei said directly: "I don't drink with him, I look like an old pervert!"

“......”

Peng Xiangming was speechless.

A bottle of liquor was soon drunk to the last glass, and the meal was finished, so there was only small talk left, and the topic was all that was left.

Peng Xiangming found that Dai Xiaofei's girl was by no means what he thought in his heart before - yes, she is good-looking, has a good father, and she is particularly brilliant in choosing plays along the way, in short, no matter what, she feels very lucky.

But in fact, this girl has a wide range of knowledge and a broad vision, and she is by no means simply a good skin.

As she spoke, Dai Xiaofei brought the topic back to the movie and asked, "Did you really decide to make the movie you just said?"

Peng Xiangming drank three taels of wine, his mind was quite sober, he shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "It's not decided yet." The main reason is that I am afraid that everyone will not accept it. ”

However, in fact, the real reason is that he can't say it, the real reason is that it is impossible for him to shoot according to the original, but if he does not follow the original version, many things will have to be replaced with elements of oriental culture, not only the workload is huge, but even the whole movie is in danger of completely collapsing.

He has always been aware of this.

But he did always want to give it a try.

If you want to copy a movie, even if you choose a similar style of the same type, there is no doubt that it is more secure to directly take the two crazy movies you saw in your previous life.

Not only has it completely changed the oriental cultural core of the soil and water through the efforts of its predecessors, but its market performance and long-term reputation have also been put there, and it has been proven to be successful.

Peng Xiangming doesn't think he is any better than the original director.

In fact, the requirements for his first film planning are that the first cost should not be too high, and the second must be novel - the cost is not high, and the fault tolerance rate is high, so urban films that do not need special effects at all are the first choice.

Don't think that maverick is a bad thing, in fact, for cultural products, maverick is an excellent signboard.

Excellent, self-justifying, quirky, and maverick content and style, combined with a considerable amount of investment in publicity — for example, you're particularly popular yourself — often make a big hit.

Otherwise, how do you think such a niche theme as "The Master of Girlfriends" dominates the list?

Of course, there is a risk in doing so, and it is not small, because being maverick means that you are not in the popular aesthetic range of the masses - niche, is a terrible word.

So "The Master of Girlfriends" is so popular that a lot of people say that they can't watch it at all?

But for a cultural product, it is undoubtedly successful in terms of the closed-loop nature of the story, the fullness of the content, or anything else.

By this time, niche and novelty had become a good word.

People need freshness.

If it weren't for everyone's need for freshness, if everyone hadn't been soaked in saliva songs for too long, how could "Dream Chaser", an obviously gentle and soothing song, become so popular!

Peng Xiangming has always had a clear understanding of these.

Of course, at least until now, for Peng Xiangming, the filming and production of "Vulgar" is still only on paper. He had to find a proper way to open the movie, otherwise, he would rather give up - in fact, he has been thinking about this idea almost all the time except for the soundtrack of "The Legend of Ping Niang of the Great Song Dynasty" recently.

He said: "Actually, I thought about it and wanted to make a typical commercial film. It is...... Selling commercial films of personal heroism, I don't think we are doing very well in China at present. But after thinking about it, there are many people who are willing to do this, and everyone is doing it, so I don't think I need to be in a hurry to do this. ”

This tone...... It's a bit big.

Dai Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Do you think our domestic commercial films are not doing well?"

In fact, this time and space is different from the time and space where Peng Xiangming lived, the development of the domestic film industry in this time and space is quite good, even now, Hollywood blockbusters often come in to harvest the box office, but domestic films have always done decently, and domestic films can stabilize more than 50% of the total box office all year round.

So much box office, obviously most of it is made by commercial films.

Even if Dai Xiaofei has a good impression and appreciation of Peng Xiangming, when he says this, he will subconsciously question - Peng Xiangming replied: "I'm not saying that commercial films are not doing well, I mean personal heroism, because of the trough of national fortunes in the past one or two hundred years, in fact, cultural self-confidence is lacking, so this part is indeed not good enough." But the really big-selling commercial movies can only take two routes, one is a visual spectacle, and the other is a lonely hero. The combination of the two is even better!"

Dai Xiaofei seemed to agree with this statement, first nodded, but after thinking about it, she still asked: "Do you think the box office of 3.4 billion is not high enough?"

What she said is obviously a domestic film in this time and space, and in fact, it is also the box office ceiling in the domestic film market, including domestic films and imported films - "Daming Serious Crime Team"

In the summer of 2014, a historical comedy film directed by the famous director Liu Xiaoyin.

After Peng Xiangming came to this time and space, he deliberately made up for the class again, and his impression of this film is quite profound - to introduce it simply, its spiritual core is very close to the "Wulin Gaiden" he saw in his previous life, it is through a quick arrest in a small county town in the Ming Dynasty and a suspected thief to investigate the case together, using the past to satirize the present, and directly move the modern and contemporary life to the past, and carry out sharp complaints and irony.

It can be said that it has put on the skin of history, and has also grasped and created a lot of ancient and modern common stalks, but it is more of a dense burden and jokes, interesting characters, and extremely beautiful story reversals, which really laid the foundation, making its spicy irony poke the hearts of the Chinese people at once, so they spontaneously promoted it.

As a result, a film with an investment of only more than 20 million yuan and relatively simple production in all aspects, after nearly a week of release, began a box office counterattack journey through the word-of-mouth explosion on the Internet.

In the end, it was so competitive in the summer that it actually destroyed a lot of domestic and foreign blockbusters in one go, and it took more than three months to get off the production line, creating a new record in the domestic box office market.

When Dai Xiaofei mentioned it, she obviously had reservations about Peng Xiangming's words as a whole.

It is not easy to say that "the Ming Serious Crime Team" is not good".

Because it's good enough.

The so-called national is the world, sometimes it is right, but other times, it is difficult to say, at least in comedy films, hell and cultural limitations are really very big.

Some stalks, some complaints, you don't live in that cultural atmosphere all the year round, you can't understand it, and you can't experience any fun.

But in China, "Daming Serious Crime Team" is not only the pinnacle of comedy movies, but also the pinnacle of commercial box office performance, which is beyond doubt.

Peng Xiangming thought for a while and said: "That film is very powerful, but the second part that has been passed down for two years has not come out yet? It is obviously not something that can be easily copied and form a certain business model." So, what we're talking about is not the same thing at all. ”

After saying this, he paused slightly, but he said: "But purely in terms of box office, indeed, I think the box office of 3.4 billion is far from the top for the domestic market." ”

Dai Xiaofei looked at him in surprise, looking at the expression, it seemed that he was both interesting and a little questioning, but in the end, his attention returned to his face, which was enough to be called handsome even if he looked at the entertainment industry with a group of handsome guys and beauties, and said seriously: "Your first movie, it's better to be safe!"

This is, of course, a golden word.

Peng Xiangming was humbly taught, "That's that, that's why I've been hesitating!"

He rarely took the initiative to pick up the glass, shook the wine at the bottom of the cup, and said: "Come, your first movie is about to be released, I wish you the first battle on the big screen, a victory, a big sale!"

At this moment, Dai Xiaofei was happy, and also picked up the cup, "Cheers!"
