Chapter 801: The down-and-out Xu Yongzhi
As soon as the interview with Kyoto Entertainment Information Media was broadcast, it immediately caused an uproar.
It has not been two days since the Golden Hazel Award Ceremony, and everyone's eyes are still focused on "Infernal Affairs", which won five awards.
And Yi Shuihan broke the news that he was going to shoot "Infernal Affairs 2" at this time, how could he not attract the attention of fans.
Especially after emphasizing the original cast starring, they have more and more expectations for "Infernal Affairs 2".
In just one day, the number of views of this interview video has reached tens of millions! It has also initially achieved Yi Shuihan's goal of promoting "Infernal Affairs 2".
Regarding the news of "Infernal Affairs 2", the opinions of the entertainment media are not unanimous.
Most media newspapers are quite optimistic about this movie, after all, it is directed by the same director, starring in the original cast, and produced by Yi Shuihan Studio, even if the quality drops slightly, it is still a good movie, coupled with the fan base of "Infernal Affairs", the box office should not be much worse.
But there are also a small number of media outlets with different opinions, and they know from interviews that "Infernal Affairs 2" should be a prequel to "Infernal Affairs".
As a prequel, it is often restricted by the storyline and character of the first episode and is reduced to a mediocre work without suspense, without play, and without characteristics!
There are too many movie examples that prove that prequels are difficult to achieve, and even more difficult to make than sequels.
So it makes sense that they don't like this movie.
Both fans and the media have paid attention to "Infernal Affairs 2", but they don't particularly care, after all, it will be released a long time later!
But several film and television companies pay special attention to this movie, because Yi Shuihan has already explained in an exclusive interview that the movie "Infernal Affairs 2" is aimed at the Spring Festival!
The Spring Festival file has always been the most powerful schedule for movie fighting, and there are only so many moviegoers, either watching your movie or watching my movie.
For them, Yi Shuihan's "Infernal Affairs 2" is a fierce dragon that enters the battlefield to disrupt the war, and it is an extremely terrifying opponent!
Although you are not afraid, you still need to take precautions!
And among these film and television companies that are also preparing to release movies during the Spring Festival, Yongcheng Media Group, which has had conflicts with Yi Shuihan, is among them!
At the beginning, Fang Xiangrui of Yongcheng Media had a conflict with Yi Shuihan at the year-end banquet, and "Old Town Story" produced during the Spring Festival last year and "Shocking Killing" starring Yi Shuihan had a direct competitive relationship.
At that time, because of contempt, "Old Town Story" lost to Yi Shuihan's "Shocking Killing", which made Fang Xiangrui even more angry!
Although Yi Shuihan is only a starring role, Fang Xiangrui still unceremoniously counted this matter on Yi Shuihan's head.
And this time, the two of them are going to collide again, Fang Xiangrui wants Yi Shuihan to see the real strength of their Longcheng Media!
Of course, Yi Shuihan didn't take these things to heart, and all his thoughts at this time ...... are all running announcements and participating in variety shows.
This is also at Wang Jie's request, according to Wang Jie's words, your participation in a show at this time is equivalent to the effect of participating in a show in your usual life, whether you want to choose it yourself.
Having said so, can Yi Shuihan not go!
After more than two weeks of going back and forth, I finally stopped!
During this period of time, Yi Shuihan's popularity has risen rapidly, and he has initially stepped into the ranks of top artists.
Just want to gain a foothold in this ranks, Yi Shuihan needs more high-quality works to consolidate support.
During the period when Yi Shuihan ran the announcement, the studio was naturally not idle, on the one hand, they had to cooperate with Yi Shuihan to promote him, and on the other hand, they were also actively preparing for the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II".
The first thing Yi Shuihan did when he returned to the studio was to accept the preparations for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2".
The first thing to do is to find a suitable director for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2......
……
A tastefully renovated house.
Xu Yongzhi stood in front of the window of the study and smoked a cigarette, looking preoccupied.
"What's the matter, I see that you haven't rested well in the past two days, what's on your mind?" asked his wife Fu Yitong with some concern.
Xu Yongzhi snuffed out the cigarette, squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
"It's because of filming...... Lao Xu, either you take a break for a while, and we are not short of money, so relax and relax first. Fu Yitong sighed, just looking at her husband's heavy expression, she knew that he couldn't listen.
Sure enough, Xu Yongzhi shook his head and said, "I, I can't be idle, it's okay, you don't have to worry!"
"Then I'll prepare some snacks for you, see you haven't eaten much at noon......" Fu Yitong sighed and walked out of the study.
Xu Yongzhi looked at his wife's back and sighed inaudibly, it can be said that his wife is the person who knows him best.
After hearing the news that Yi Shuihan's studio was going to start filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2", he tossed and turned a little and couldn't sleep.
In fact, his development has not been too smooth in recent years.
After filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" three years ago, his reputation has been greatly improved, and many producers have come to him to shoot his works.
Most of these works are TV series of the same type as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but the market response is not good, and even he himself feels a little unbearable.
The scripts of these works are not as good as Xianjian, the actors are not as good as Xianjian, and even the investment is not as good as Xianjian, how can they be compared with Xianjian.
Because of the relationship between these works, some media even said that he was Jiang Lang's talent, which made him a little irritable.
Even now, no filmmaker is willing to invite him to shoot a TV series......
Sometimes a good work is not necessarily able to be shot if you want to, and there are many factors that are needed......
At this time, there was news that Fairy Sword was going to make a sequel, how could this make him not excited.
You must know that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can make him famous, then this "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" can also make him rise again!
He wants to prove to everyone that it's not that he Xu Yongzhi can't do it, but that your script can't do it, and your actors can't do it.
If it was before, he could have called Yi Shuihan directly to ask about the news of this work, but now...... Can Yi Shuihan still look at himself as a somewhat down-and-out director?
He really couldn't pull his face to make this call......
Just as he was struggling, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Turning on the phone, he looked at it and was suddenly stunned!
The name that appears on the screen...... It's easy to be cold!
The suppressed emotions in his heart suddenly surged up, making him a little red in the face for a moment.
Here's his chance!
He took a deep breath and answered his phone, a familiar voice coming from the other end of the phone.
