It can be seen that in recent years, movies and entertainment have gradually shifted to the mainland, and Xiangjiang has long lost its leading position in Chinese pop culture.

However, emaciated camels are bigger than horses.

Although the movies produced by Emperor Entertainment in recent years have made little money, they have not broken their bones after all.

The Xiangjiang market is too narrow, and the gang has long since shifted their attention to the huge mainland market in the north.

Emperor is one of the earliest entertainment companies in the mainland, and many of its artists are eye-catching with Huayi, but unfortunately, the rise of the Wang brothers depends on Feng Xiaogang, and they value the director more!

As soon as Huayi went public, it immediately changed its previous attitude, and it was no longer the previous kind of cooperation...

Obviously, Huayi is shallow, and they have no shortage of partners!

The two projects that were originally negotiated will be put to rest...

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention that this is Xiangjiang, Yang Shoucheng's base camp.

……

Xu Hui got out of the car, the gentleman opened the rear door, and the maid walked out with his hand.

The door of the hotel was full of reporters taking pictures, as well as fans of Xu Hui who rushed to hear the news...

After all, it is rare for many filmmakers and literati in Xiangjiang to get together, and it is normal for the media to follow and report.

When he walked to the door of the hotel, Xu Hui saw Yang Shoucheng in gray and trotted to meet him.

"Mr. Yang, you are so polite..."

"Anyway, I've heard that Xu Hui never participates in cocktail parties, and you can come, that's respect for me!"

As they spoke, the two walked into the living room.

Yaya prepared an afternoon of dressing, and at most the paparazzi outside the door kept pressing the shutter.

After all, this is Xiangjiang, not Cannes!

……

The cocktail party is a very Westernized buffet model, with a lot of customers, but it doesn't seem crowded...

On the right side, there are several hanging bead curtains, which are considered compartments.

Xu Hui swallowed a piece of foie gras, and Chen Kexin pulled him into the director's private room...

"Seniors..."

Xu Hui bowed slightly, and then sat down.

A group of Hong Kong directors, Chen Jiashang, Ma Chucheng, Wang Jing, Wen En, two of the top ten directors came!

"The afterlife is terrifying!"

Chen Jiashang looked at Xu Hui with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Where, compared to the golden age of Hong Kong films created by my predecessors, I am still far behind..."

This is definitely from the bottom of my heart...

"Xu Hui is coming to our Xiangjiang for the first time, how is it, what do you think of the environment in Xiangjiang?"

"That's good!"

Xu Hui always maintained a polite smile, and the appearance of not entering the oil and salt made several directors present hate itchy...

Are we idle, looking for you to talk about life?

"I used to hear that you were going to be a director, and I had the same attitude as many media, and I thought it was funny, but two years later, "Wong Fei Hung" has won a box office result of nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang City, and your slap is really loud!"

Wen Yan decided not to procrastinate anymore and went straight to the point.

"It's just a fluke, in fact, when I was shooting, I didn't know the bottom in my heart, after all, a big investment of 100 million, fortunately, the market feedback is not bad!"

"I heard that a sequel is already in the works?"

“…”

Xu Hui vaguely guessed the purpose of this group of people letting him in.

They also fell in love with the power of the new IP of "Once Upon a Time"!

Want to join in and get a piece of the action.

"Yes, the sequel is in the works..."

"According to your plan, how many "Once Upon a Time" series can be released?"

"As long as there are kung fu movie lovers, I think I can keep making them forever. ”

In other words, as long as there is a market, we must continue to do it!

"Not afraid of touching sensitive subjects?"

Chen Jiashang suddenly burst out with a sentence.

In fact, the Republic of China, especially the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, was the best source of artistic creation.

The European powers used their cannons to blast out a "great change unseen in thousands of years", all the old things were smashed and recombined, and every person of insight was repositioning himself and this nation in the world.

The Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment of Thought were whirling through this ancient land like a tornado at the same time.

Although it has not been able to change China's weakness in the short term, it has at least given birth to a whole modern Chinese history with many talents.

In such a big era, it stands to reason that how many literary and artistic works can be born, whether it is used to sort out and review, or to learn from them, there is a lot to be done.

However, limited to ideological disputes, there are too many unspeakable things in this not too long history that cannot be explained, and there are disputes that do not distinguish between right and wrong.

Therefore, whether it is literary creation or film and television adaptation, it is quite restrictive.

The lessons of "Towards a Republic" are still there, and the latecomers are more cautious, so to this day, this history is slowly forgotten by the mainstream of literature and art.

The blue sky and white sun flag in "Men Should Be Self-reliant" is estimated to be unable to rise...

"In fact, the censorship has gradually opened up now, as long as it is not too sensitive to the lens, you think, even "Lust and Caution" can be released in the mainland!"

Xu Hui took the cigar handed over by Wen Engraved, lit it, and took a puff carefully.

The taste is mellow...

“… I'm not going around in circles, Director Xu, we also want to make a movie about "Once Upon a Time"..."

“… You don't need to tell me anything about it..."

The IP of 'Huang Feihong' is like "Journey to the West", everyone can shoot it, everyone can use it!

Pao Hui didn't quite know what the gang was trying to say.

"What everyone means is that you put on a name as a producer, and you also know that if you produce a movie, the box office can at least break 100 million!"

Wang Jing glanced at Xu Hui and said happily: "Of course, we won't let you help in vain, as long as you agree to put on the name, we can share five percent of your box office!"

“… That's an exaggeration, isn't it, my name is so good?"

Pao Hui was a little skeptical.

"Who doesn't know Director Xu Hui now!"

"That's it, you underestimate yourself too much, and the sum of us may not be as good as your name!"

Several directors have turned on the touting mode, listening to them, Xu Hui is already the first person in Chinese films, it seems that as long as his name is revealed, there will be a bunch of fans who will pay...

“… It's okay for the producer to hang my name, but I have to watch the movie first, and if the shooting is good, I still have a distribution company in the mainland!"

What kind of idea these people have is nothing more than to take advantage of the "Once Upon a Time" series to make a few movies of the same genre when the "Once Upon a Time" series is popular, of course, the quality must be a little worse.

When the time comes, just set up the title of "Once Upon a Time" and hang the name of Xu Hui's producer, you can imagine how many viewers will pay...

Even if you are scolded, you buy a ticket and watch a movie before you are scolded.

“… Why not make a profitable deal?"

Wang Jing was a little puzzled.

In his opinion, making movies is all about making money!

According to his expectations, "Huang Feihong" can get at least three or more films, think about the domestic box office, and then think about the sharing of accounts in other cities, a few people in total, at least eight figures per person can be obtained, beautiful!

Unexpectedly, Xu Hui actually disagreed.

Are mainland directors so inflexible?
