Chapter 128: Where Did Xu Hui Go?

Director Xiaogang made a lot of noise when he scolded the film critics, and it was basically Chi Guoguo's insult!

'You guys' and 'fart' are definitely suspected insulting statements.

Such a big thing happened in the Chinese film industry, the top big directors publicly scolded film critics, and "Private Custom" was released on a small scale in North America...

When Xu Hui attended the meeting, many people asked him about the situation.

How can Xu Hui answer? He could only shake his head with a wry smile, indicating that he was not familiar with Feng Xiaogang...

By the way, "Private Custom" was released in 20 theaters in North America, and won a box office of $100,000 for three days, setting a new high at the North American box office of Feng Xiaogang's movie!

It's true, "Night Banquet" grossed $80,000...

The box office of "Private Custom" in North America reached 11,000...

Well, if you follow Hollywood's division benchmark, a single box office of more than 10,000 can be regarded as a first-tier director, and if there is a company willing to screen on a large scale, it is very likely to create a lot of box office results!

It's a pity that these 20 theaters are all places where Chinese people live, and it is impossible to screen them on a large scale, and they are aimed at Chinese audiences...

Moreover, the media evaluation is not good!

"Variety" said that although it has Feng's humor, and satirizes and criticizes art and economics, the film as a whole lacks highlights and is busy switching between stories, and despite the director's best efforts, the film is still tepid and too long-winded.

The Hollywood Reporter even bluntly pointed out that the film is vulgar, lacks laughter, and lacks coherence. "The cast of A-list actors and the rich enough production costs are not enough to save the film's blunt and deliberate jokes and shallow values. "Feng needs to rediscover himself and add soul to the comedy he once excelled at. ”

……

December 25th, Los Angeles, afternoon, café.

Xu Hui sat on the sofa, and Zhang Niangniang sat opposite.

"The Grandmaster" had a slight success in the North American awards season, nominating for many Best Foreign Language Films.

As Zhang Niangniang, who once developed in Hollywood, she became a representative of the movie.

Everyone is their own person, although there have been unpleasant times, but they have all passed...

"Director Xu, have you read Weibo these days?"

“… Of course I did. ”

"Why do you want to say that?"

"Hey, Director Feng has probably been on the top for too long, and I guess I don't know what the audience thinks..."

Of course Xu Hui knew what Zhang Niangniang wanted to say, it was nothing more than the news that Feng Xiaogang bombarded the film critics!

In other words, the Internet has really integrated the whole world!

What happened on the other side of the ocean, you can get the news immediately.

“… I remember you used to say that you couldn't be trusted by film critics?"

"I'm talking about the remarks that I desperately smeared before the movie was released, which is not credible!"

Xu Hui emphasized it very seriously.

"But I think he has a point, a lot of times, film critics just want to highlight themselves as different..."

"If there were only one or two film critics scolding "Private Custom", we could say that they were grandstanding, but now the situation is that most of the remarks are accusing Feng Xiaogang of fooling the audience... By the way, have you watched the movie?"

Put down the coffee in your hand, the taste is too bitter, or drink tea more comfortably...

Zhang Niangniang's expression was a little embarrassed: "Not yet..."

“…”

Xu Hui was speechless.

It's as if you want to talk to an experienced driver about driving skills, and then find out that this thing doesn't have a driver's license!

Talk about yarn!

Zhang Niangniang hurriedly changed the topic: "I have watched "Paradise Cinema", it is really a great work!"

“… It's not great, by the way, you're married to Wang's pigeers?"

In the past few days, Xu Hui has been talking about "Paradise Cinema" when he meets people, and he really doesn't want to mention it...

"Well, I'm getting married in September!"

"Congratulations!"

Xu Hui sent his blessings very sincerely.

“… Director, do you remember promising me to make a movie?"

Zhang Niangniang couldn't hold it back, and asked directly.

“(=~ω~=)”

Xu Hui frowned, did he promise?

It seems that he has not exchanged body fluids with Zhang Niangniang in the whole book...

Generally speaking, Pao Hui will only have the idea to help her make a movie after he has a deep understanding of a woman's size and depth...

However, there happened to be one.

"I read Li Bihua's "Green Snake" two days ago, and I have the idea to adapt it into a movie, I think your image is quite suitable for White Snake!"

“… White Snake?

Zhang Niangniang was a little puzzled, she and the white lady couldn't reach each other!

"You can read the original manuscript first, by the way, Green Snake I want Wan Qian to play, do you know her?"

"You know, gold and jade!"

Although Miss Wan has only had one "Su Yuan" in the past two years, one role of gold inlaid jade is enough for her to eat for a few years!

Moreover, she also picked up Li Xiaolu in "Private Custom"...

……

Xu Hui reunited with his old friends in North America, and although he did not experience indescribable joy, he still had a good chat.

Sometimes men and women don't have to go to bed, they just chat, make friends... Forget it, I can't go on!

If it weren't for Zhang Niangniang's wife, it would be impossible for Pao Hui to miss the opportunity to open fire.

On December 26, a Weibo post was on the hot search - 'Looking for the missing person Xu Hui!'

Don't mention it, it turns out that Xu Hui hasn't appeared for nearly a month, whether it's Weibo or mainland media.

In the past, even if Xu Hui did not appear in public, he would regularly disclose his itinerary on Weibo...

"Where did Xu Hui go?"

Xu Hui can't be blamed for this, this trip to North America is for the awards season, but he has no confidence, Cannes only made a mistake, and he doesn't want to come again.

In addition, the schedule is really in a hurry, and there is no time to interact with fans.

A month, and it's the end of the year when the stars are most active...

"I met him at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles the other day, and he seemed to be attending a drinking party;"

"Uh-huh, I've seen him in New York, too, and it's a drinking party;"

""Paradise Cinema" has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, of course Xu Hui has to go to public relations!"

As soon as they were combined, they immediately found out Xu Hui's movements!

There are even photos of Xu Hui and Zhang Niangniang smiling and chatting...

It is said that Zhang Niangniang has had a lot of fans since "The Grandmaster", at least most people have recognized her acting skills, and she will no longer be like before, when she is mentioned, she is an 'international dirty'...

Xu Hui's external image has been maintained quite well, and it is very strange that there is no rumor in this picture that the two of them have a leg!

""Cinema Paradiso", with an IMDb score of 8.6, belongs to the category of classic movies, and the current North American box office has reached $48 million, winning the New York Film Critics Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Award, many media think that "Paradise Cinema" is enough to win the Oscar!"

"Damn! Hanging like this, it means that Xu Hui already disdains to play in the country?"

"Probably not, looking at his work plan, there are still two movies to be made next year!"
