"Who are you looking for?" Ning Hao took a sip of wine and asked casually.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Hao, the two of you are necessary, count me as three, find two or three more directors of Xiangjiang, if not, ask Director Kai. ”

"Eh, Director Kai?" Ning Hao asked strangely, "You don't care?"

"I'm busy. Peng Hui said as a matter of course: "In the later stage of "The Wandering Earth", and I just opened an animation project, I have to catch up with next year's Chinese New Year, how can I have time to coordinate this?"

"Who's that for?"

"Ask Director Kai, he is there, and the others are also convinced. ”

"That...... Can't you use the one over there?" Huang Bo, who had been drinking, asked a little embarrassedly.

Peng Hui was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.

The others didn't speak.

"It's not good, but I don't want it. Peng Hui thought about it, but shook his head.

"Then don't look for Xiangjiang. Ning Hao thought for a while and said directly: "If you find a director from Xiangjiang, there will inevitably be problems." ”

"It's okay, you discuss it with Director Kai. ”

"You really don't care?"

"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this was a congratulatory film, I wouldn't have wanted to shoot it. Peng Hui said truthfully: "Recently, I have to edit and record songs." ”

"Recording songs?" Shan Zheng and the others looked at him strangely.

"I'm also a singer. Peng Hui asked strangely: "Is there anything wrong with recording songs?"

"No, it's good if you're happy. Shan Zheng shook his head, and he didn't understand why Peng Hui, a good director, didn't get busy, but had to sing.

What a drop.

And don't get such a good movie to promote your connections, but record some songs.

Forget it, he can do whatever he wants.

Ning Hao naturally contacted Brother Kai and did not mention it.

Peng Hui didn't care.

picked up the phone and checked the real-time box office at this time.

The first week has passed, and now the box office has become apparent.

"The Return of the Great Sage" ranked fourth with a box office of one billion.

ranked first is "Operation Red Sea", which is regarded as a great enemy by Peng Hui, with a total box office of 3.45 billion.

The second is Chen Sicheng's "Detective Chinatown 2", 3.2 billion.

The third is the 2 billion of "Monster Hunt 2".

The fifth is 650 million in "Journey to the West".

As for "Bear Infested", which was previously regarded as the biggest competitor of "The Return of the Great Sage", it ranked sixth, with a box office of only 590 million.

It can be said that this time during the Spring Festival, "Operation Red Sea" is the biggest winner.

not only achieved a box office counterattack on the third day, but also had an extremely outstanding reputation.

And "Detective Chinatown 2", which performed well at the beginning, and "Monster Hunt 2", which was the first in pre-sale, were gradually surpassed because of word-of-mouth problems and box office results.

With the end of the traffic 1.0 era in recent years, the quality of movies has attracted more and more attention.

Subsequently, the situation that word-of-mouth determines the box office of movies has become more and more obvious.

If the biggest winner of the box office of the Spring Festival movie is "Operation Red Sea", then the biggest winner in terms of word-of-mouth is Peng Hui's "The Return of the Great Sage".

In recent years, with the excavation of the "Journey to the West" IP, this IP has gradually been overdeveloped.

The consequence of overexploitation is a collective regression at the box office.

Especially this time, the appearance of "Journey to the West: Daughter Country" has brought this situation to the bottom.

Originally, many people didn't have any ideas about an animated movie with the theme of "Journey to the West".

But it's really good to can't stand this movie.

Although because this is Peng Hui's first animated film, the quality of the whole film can only be regarded as average.

But in fact, "The Return of the Great Sage" is already the highest box office for adult animated films!

Yes, and at the same time the ceiling of the box office of all domestic animated films.

A billion.

In a live-action movie, this box office is not high, but for an animated film, this number is beautiful!

Because that means, animated films are doable!

How popular is "The Return of the Great Sage"?

Even the word-of-mouth and topicality of the discussion at the same time must be above "Operation Red Sea"!

As for why the box office has not exceeded, this comes from the innate impression of many people.

After all, for many adults, animated movies are just pure cartoons.

Children may like it, but adults......

Hard.

Simply, the tone of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not completely oriented to adults, so with the improvement of word-of-mouth in the later period, the box office of the movie has also been improved.

And after "The Return of the Great Sage" became popular, three or four animated films have been confirmed to be released this year, including "The Great Protector", which is completely adult-oriented, "Big Fish and Begonia", which is beautiful and hand-painted, and "Wind Whispering Spell", which was built by Shan Zheng and Tao Hong.

It can be said that a hundred flowers are contending.

Retracting his gaze, Peng Hui returned to his apartment in Beijing.

I still have work to do.

The later stage of "The Wandering Earth" is still waiting for him to edit and determine, and the just-established "Nezha Descends to the World" is also waiting for him to prepare.

Because this year is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the release time of "The Wandering Earth" can only be summer.

As for "Nezha's Birth", the process is much simpler.

In fact, as early as when "The Return of the Great Sage" entered the later stage, "Nezha Descends to the World" had already been established.

The Fengshen trilogy is also the beginning of Peng Hui's complete establishment of the animated film universe.

Now the results of "The Return of the Great Sage" can be regarded as a good start for this series.

Therefore, the quality of the second "Nezha Descends to the World" is becoming more and more important!

As for live-action films, in addition to the 20-minute congratulatory film promised before, there is also one of the movies of the fantasy universe.

is the movie that promised to work with her before.

He has already written the script of the movie, but he doesn't have time to open it for the time being.

After tossing for half a month, at the beginning of March, Peng Hui finally finished editing "The Wandering Earth".

After submitting it for review, Peng Hui quickly began to write the script for the congratulatory film.

At this time, this congratulatory film, named "My Motherland and Me", has found all the directors.

Chief director Chen Kaige, in addition to Peng Hui, Ning Hao, and Shan Zheng, there are also Guan Hu, Zhang Yibai and Xue Xiaolu.

Of course, this is basically the relationship between Shan Zheng and Ning Hao.

However, Director Kai just wanted to praise his son, and even delegated power, so others naturally have nothing to say.

Peng Hui filmed the story of a female pilot.

The heroine originally planned to choose Yaya.

However, Yaya is about to join the group and shoot "Perfect Relationship" with Huang Xuan, so there is really no time to shoot.

In desperation, Peng Hui could only be replaced.

So who to look for?

Because the movie has an original form, Peng Hui also specially consulted Tao Jiali, the original form of the heroine.

The other party recommended Wan Qian.

Peng Hui also deliberately looked at some of Wan Qian's military uniform for this reason, and he was very satisfied.

But just when Peng Hui was about to send an invitation, Zhang Yibai came over.
