Chapter Twenty-Three: July, Hard Bar Chibi
Huang Wen has always wanted to build Xu Hui into a powerful idol, preferably the kind of amphibious superstar who is involved in the music and film worlds.
Xu Hui has not left any intention in this regard, and has been busy filming his movies since returning to China, Huang Wen thought that Xu Hui had changed his behind-the-scenes route, and now he heard him mention recording songs, he was surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked: "Are you going to release a new album?"
Without waiting for Xu Hui's reaction, Huang Wen said to himself: "You really should release a new song, although I prefer you to take the route of an actor, but we can't lose our housekeeping skills, after all, you are from a band, you should still sing..."
"Brother Wen, SJ is not a band, that's called... Men's idol team, also, I don't want to release a new album, just three songs, let's make an EP!"
Xu Hui interrupted Huang Wen, who was a little excited, with a little crying and laughing.
"Three?"
Huang Wen glanced at Xu Hui and asked tentatively, "Did you write it yourself?"
"No, I asked Jay Chou to help me create!"
"Really, do you still know Jay Chou?"
"Of course it's fake!
Xu Hui was angry and glanced at his agent: "The current music market is not very prosperous, and I don't have time to record an album, just three songs, by the way, the MV heroine, you can help me find it... Well, Tangyan, Liu Sisi and Yang Mi. ”
“… Hui Shao, we are on the rise now, you are an idol, don't drag on with female stars at this time, spread it out, it will not have a good impact on you!"
Huang Wenyu admonished earnestly.
"What do you want? Who wants to have sex with female stars, I think these three people will become popular soon, so I look for them, and, don't learn from HK, what kind of procrastination, the object is the object!"
Xu Hui was almost speechless, what he was thinking about was that the three songs just collected the three sisters of the fairy sword, and when they were passed out, it was also a beautiful conversation, why did it become so obscene when it fell into Huang Wen's mouth?
"It's not good, I've had an affair with Li Bingbing, what are you afraid of if the impact is not good?"
By the way.
“… This, this is a tabloid fabrication, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
Yes, it has nothing to do with you, you just don't limit its fermentation!
Huang Wen hesitated to explain.
How could Xu Hui not understand, it was nothing more than Huayi wanting to use this scandal to promote "Embroidered Spring Knife", a couple during the publicity period, it's normal!
"By the way, how did you get that picture?"
Xu Hui asked curiously.
The so-called photo is the picture of him meeting Li Bingbing alone that day, and Li Bingbing was amused and laughing.
Somehow, it was photographed and posted on the Internet.
Some of Xu Hui's brainless fans attacked Li Bingbing frantically, saying that she was 'an old cow eats tender grass', 'don't have a blue face', 'big blue pool' and the like.
made Xu Hui quite embarrassed, during the filming, in addition to the normal plot exchange, he never spoke to Li Bingbing alone, for fear of falling into his mouth.
"It was photographed by a reporter from "Entertainment Weekly", and the person who wrote that report seems to be called Chen Farong..."
Such a familiar name, Xu Hui secretly recalled it, but still didn't remember it.
"How do you remember so clearly?"
"There is a female star in HK who is also named Chen Farong, don't you know?"
"There is a boy in Hangzhou called 'bald head', do you know?"
"I don't know... Is he your friend?"
"Then why did you let me know what Chen Farong was?"
……
Xu Hui likes to quarrel with people very much, probably because he has been holding back in South Korea for too long, and after returning to China, he feels that his complaining skills are increasing day by day.
met with the agent and chatted for more than an hour, and the two went to see Wang Zhonglei together.
Wang Zhonglei was very enthusiastic, much more enthusiastic than the last time he saw him, and he estimated that he had already listened to Yu Min's report.
"Sure enough, the hero is a teenager! Xu Hui, you are so amazing, you really completed the shooting of a movie in sixty-five days!"
"Mr. Xie praised him. ”
Wang Zhonglei motioned for Xu Hui and Huang Wen to sit down, and then personally poured a cup of tea for the two of them: "I heard that the later stage is almost finished?"
"Well, in terms of soundtrack, we found Mr. Chen Peiqi, according to what he said, three days is about the same, Mr. Wang, is it time to release the trailer?"
Xu Hui nodded.
The reason why it was delayed for nearly 20 days was that he was busy with the post-production of the movie.
The later stage of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is relatively simple, and there are no large-scale special effects, plus cutting while shooting, every month, the later stage is almost the same, and now the soundtrack is poor.
"Don't rush the trailer, the recent geological disaster has attracted most of the public's attention, and it is difficult for us to grab attention..."
Although this sentence is true, why does it sound so awkward?
"I've already cut the trailer, you say when you want to put it on, by the way, Mr. Wang, or..."
Xu Hui originally wanted to say that 5% of the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" this time would be used to rescue the areas where geological disasters occurred, but after thinking about it, he always felt that it was a bit difficult to make a fortune in this way, so he still forgot it.
Once this kind of gimmick is really promoted, it will follow the director for a lifetime!
"What's wrong?"
“… I think "Embroidered Spring Knife" should be released in July..."
"No, there is "Red Cliff" in July!"
Before Wang Zhonglei finished listening, he had already said NO bluntly.
Wu Baige's "Red Cliff", which cost 300 million yuan to build, was released nationwide on July 11, and his appeal is very strong, plus a number of big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Liang Chaowei and Jin Chengwu, have almost booked the throne of the annual box office champion.
It's 2008 now, and most of the theaters are in the hands of China Film, and the investor of "Red Cliff" is China Film, "Embroidered Spring Knife" PK "Red Cliff", there is no chance of winning!
"But, Mr. Wang, don't forget, my fans are basically students, July is the best release period, we spent a month to promote this movie, and we released it about ten days earlier than "Red Cliff", I believe that the reputation of "Embroidered Spring Knife" will beat "Red Cliff"..."
“… Most of your fans are students..."
Wang Zhonglei didn't hear Xu Hui say anything at all'Word-of-mouth beats "Red Cliff"', in his opinion, John Woo's golden signboard and the innate advantages of large-scale war-themed movies like "Red Cliff" are enough to crush any domestic movie, but he 'understood' the meaning of Xu Hui's words.
"What do you mean, relying on your fans to drive the box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife"?"
Xu Hui was a little speechless, of course, he was very aware of the superstition of most domestic film and television industry bigwigs about Hong Kong and Taiwan directors and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and he didn't believe in the so-called word-of-mouth advantage at all.
Although there is "Crazy Stone" in front of Zhuyu, they always feel that it is an example, why all kinds of reports in the circle "Crazy Sun" are because there are too few such examples!
If you want to convince them, it is impossible at all, you can only slap them in the face with the facts.
"Well, I think my fans alone are enough for "Embroidered Spring Knife" to recoup its costs!"
Xu Hui wants to persuade Wang Zhonglei to agree to the release of "Embroidered Spring Knife" on July 1, so follow his train of thought.
