Chapter Ninety-Six: The First Half of the Year

The perfect idol Andy Lau!

No matter how black he is, the king of bad movies, but for his character, it is still a capital suit!

To take the simplest example, the conflict between the concert and the on-site security personnel, Andy Lau handled it much better than Zhou Jieba!

"I know the security guards, the guards are for my good, I'm sorry I made you worry, I'm fine! I'm fine! However, the concert has the rules of the concert, no matter how enthusiastic the fans are, I hope you remember the importance of safety, really don't trespass, and you shouldn't do some illegal things, everyone loves me and supports me, I know! Don't use some unsafe methods to make me worry. X also embarrassed the security guards and guards. ā€

Zhou Jieba: "This public security officer, don't throw my fans' lanterns, why do you want to maintain order and throw my fans' lanterns? You get out of here! Get out of here!"

Fuck off, sister...

Another point is that after Liu Tianwang's return, he publicly expressed his patriotic feelings many times, and was jokingly called "Chief Executive Liu" by many people!

has generously donated money many times to fund mainland films and support new directors, which is not something ordinary Hong Kong filmmakers have done!

One Country, Two Wisdom...

Xu Laowei and Er Dongsheng, including Adu, are the seniors of the Hong Kong film industry, and they also vigorously promote newcomers, but they are promoting local filmmakers in Hong Kong, for example, the work "Cold War" can invite a bunch of actors, not because of sympathy for the younger generations...

During the filming of Adu's "Threesome", he led the three juniors to secretly go to Guangdong and helped supervise the production of "The Big Tree", because the latter's script had not been reviewed, and there was no filming permit!

Yes, they are all talented, but they are just Hong Kong filmmakers!

……

"Not only is he expensive, but he also has a tight schedule!"

Ning Hao glanced at Xu Hui and told a story.

"No Man's Land", the role of a lawyer was originally prepared for Andy Lau, who had a tight schedule, so he had no choice but to find Xu Zheng.

ā€œā€¦ Seriously, if Liu Tianwang starred, the probability of the movie passing the review would be much greater!"

"Who knew there would be so many things?"

"Let's talk about Wu Ershan, now your name as a 'ghost director' has been robbed by him!"

Xu Hui glanced at him playfully.

Ning Hao blushed a little...

Don't look at his humility in the face of the media: 'In addition to personal expression as a director, this is my job, and I have to eat. 'I'm a realist, so I'll do whatever I can...'

Listen to it, how nice it sounds, it simply puts yourself in the dust...

But the promotional poster of "The Great Gold Robbery" is clearly hanging with his personal photo!

To the extreme, for fear that others will not know that "The Great Gold Robbery" is his work...

On the other hand, "Painted Skin 2" includes "Looking for the Dragon", you have to hold a magnifying glass to find the words "Director: Wu Ershan"...

ā€œā€¦ Aren't you also known as a post-80s ghost director..."

Ning Hao hesitated for a long time, and finally thought of how to refute.

"I—I'm not unusual!"

Xu Hui waved his hand: "Actually, I think now is the best era, especially for filmmakers like you and me, no matter how bad you shoot, the audience will pay for it!"

ā€œā€¦ What does that mean? You want to transform?"

"Almost, when "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is over, I will go to shoot "Paradise Cinema", and then after helping the company to make the "Di Renjie" series, I may try other types of movies, such as horror films, comedies and the like..."

ā€œā€¦ You... You're going to make a comedy?"

This was the first time Xu Hui revealed his plans after revealing himself, and Ning Hao was taken aback.

ā€œā€¦ Can't you?"

"Okay, of course you can, even if you make a B-grade movie, the audience will pay for it!"

This topic stopped, and Xu Hui suddenly remembered something: "Ning Hao, "Di Renjie" series, I don't plan to shoot it myself, I may have to try the 'producer-centric system'..."

ā€œā€¦ It's not very feasible, our crew has always been the director who has the final say, what kind of 'producer-centric system' are you doing so rashly, I'm worried that it will shoot four different!"

"I've talked to a couple of Disney producers, and in fact, the producer center is manager-driven, while the director center is creative-driven. Management is especially important when your structure is particularly complex and extremely large. When your system is very small, then you have to seek truth from facts! The "Di Renjie" series is a big production with an investment of more than 200 million..."

"Why are you telling me this? I can't be the director of "Di Renjie"!"

Ning Hao was suddenly alert and glanced up at Xu Hui: "... My own film is about to start. ā€

"Didn't I tell you in advance, I'm going to do this for our company's blockbusters in the future!"

……

In the first half of 2012, domestic films wailed.

The box office ratio of imported blockbusters to local films has reached a ratio of 7:3!

Among them, April and May are particularly tragic.

"Embroidered Spring Knife 2" failed to save the overall pattern of deterioration!

This can be a big deal for the relevant departments.

The proportion of domestic films at the box office every year is bound to surpass that of foreign films, which is their task, which is related to the year-end KPI!

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, the relevant departments used macro-control means to directly move the two most competitive movies in June, "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", to the end of August...

Domestic Film Protection Month is here!

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" won 600 million box office in June, and the relay of "Painted Skin 2" continued, and finally, the domestic film counterattacked!

In fact, it doesn't matter, the policy will definitely be biased towards domestic films, which is a must!

It's just that some people's faces are really ridiculous: 'My movie is undefeated at the domestic box office!'

On the one hand, we talk about cultural exports, and on the other hand, we are only satisfied with the domestic market...

For Huiwen World, in the first half of 2012, although "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" was unexpectedly cold, the overall trend of the company is very healthy, and the long-term layout of North America has finally begun to take effect!

After "Wasteland", Huiwen is preparing to launch "Lethal Weapon" and "Rush Hour", both starring a Chinese...

At present, the copyright is still being negotiated, after all, the IP of "Lethal Weapon" belongs to Warner Bros., and the big IP of "Rush Hour" belongs to the new line film company, of course, the new line belongs to Warner Bros...

The export rights of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" are very gratifying, especially the latter, in addition to selling nearly $5 million in Southeast Asia, and it is also distributed in North America by Huiwen Tianxia.

The box office reached $8 million...

As for "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", the sense of history is too strong, only DVD releases have been made in North America, and most of the people who are interested are local Chinese, and they are not selling very well, and after two months, only more than 20,000 disks have been sold...

However, Huiwen Tianxia has initially had its own distribution channel in North America, which is something that can't be bought by thousands of dollars!

All this thanks to Wanda Cinema Line... r
