Chapter 144: Old Mouzi and His Three Guns
The life of King Xie can be summed up in eight words, pretending to be like the wind, often accompanying me...
As the most famous second-generation star in the HK area, he has lived himself into a textbook superstar, and his debut is the peak - landing on CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 98!
After the 'top bag case', he acted desperately, and media reports also used 'Prodigal Son Turns Back' as the prefix, 29-year-old brushed off the golden statue male supporting role, and 30 won the golden statue male lead...
And then phew, and then there was no more...
He was indeed the idol of many people when he was young, Wu Yanzu and Feng Delun mentioned Xie Tingfeng in a variety show, and the variety show "Beautiful House": "Actually, when we filmed "Beautiful Boy's Love", we didn't like each other so much, maybe he was jealous that I was more handsome than him, filming "SWAT New Humans", the two of us met a more handsome and cool person, but we couldn't compare, so we both gave up...'
However, his status as a king is really a bit too blown, the box office performance is very poor, the highest box office record as the first starring role is "One Life" 220 million yuan, which is often broken 1 billion at the box office today, 800 million today, it seems that it is impossible to get it, and there has been no chance to play the male number one in a first-line big production...
……
In fact, Xu Hui has already said these words in previous interviews, and he has mentioned more than once, 'I won't work with actors who can't speak their lines well'.
Moreover, Huang Wen has also persuaded him more than once to make the movie a co-production.
Because co-productions are politically correct these days!
In addition, the biggest preferential policy for co-productions is to enjoy the same treatment as domestic films... There are no eggs.
Ah, by the way, co-productions can be applied for the Academy Awards...
But when he said this in front of Xie Tingfeng, the latter's face was ugly...
But what could he do?
In terms of status, Xu Hui is a bigwig of a film and television company, a box office record holder in the mainland, and more importantly, he is only 25 years old!
What was Xie Tingfeng doing when he was 25 years old?
Uh, it seems that he filmed "Little Fish and Flowers", and then, and then he beat people...
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Ahh
It took a long time for Sugar Candy to know that she was talking to her.
"There's nothing to eat, let's go, I'll take you to eat!"
Then, Wu Kebo saw that his artist was abducted by Xu Hui's party...
……
The two came to a private club, Xu Hui ordered a stewed duck soup, and asked for a few stir-fried dishes by the way.
Within minutes, the meal was due.
"I just watched your performance in the movie, to be honest, there is no room for a female character in that scene..."
"But after all, it's a big production, so it's time to learn..."
Talking about movies, Tang Yan was not as restrained as before, picked up a small piece of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it in small bites.
"That's right, when you open up your popularity in the field of TV dramas, it will be better if you take over the drama in the future!"
Xu Hui nodded, picked up a spoon, scooped a bowl of thick and white duck soup, and took a sip.
"By the way, your brokerage contract is about to expire, right?"
"Well, there's another year!"
"So what are you going to do?
"I don't know, but listening to the agent, I should set up my own studio. ”
"It's okay, with a personal studio, I also have autonomy to take on the show. ”
He didn't pretend to give people advice, after all, Tangtang was a year older than him.
"By the way, I'll be working with Zhou Jielun again in the next few months..."
Tang Yan suddenly thought of something, and his face fluttered.
“… You filmed his music video?"
Pao Hui thought about it carefully, Tang Yan cooperated with Zhou Jielun?
Is there anything they can do together?
"No, Zhou Jielun made a sci-fi drama called "Panda Man"..."
"Poof..."
Xu Hui couldn't hold back, and sprayed directly, but fortunately he sprayed it on the ground...
"Have you starred in "Panda Man"?"
“… What's wrong?"
"It's okay..."
Spicy Eye Drama of the Year...
No wonder Tangtang couldn't mix it up in those years, look at this vision, it's just the queen of bad movies!
After the two finished eating, Xu Hui sent her to the residence, and then drove back to the hotel by himself - people still have to follow the national publicity of the "Fengyun 2" crew.
……
"Fengyun 2" is bad, but "Thorn Tomb" in the same period is even worse!
Zhu Yanping has maintained a consistent level, how to say: "Thorn Tomb" is a movie that has reached a new level of stupidity, and it is completely in the gap between product placements and inserting some action scenes without a plot.
When promoting, Director Pig said that "Thorn Tomb" is a hybrid of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" + "The Mummy" + "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but this statement actually seriously insults the two movie series of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Mummy". Because of "Thorn Tomb", "The Mummy", a second-rate Hollywood action movie, is as classic as the "Godfather" series in comparison.
Even Tao Jingying said at the Golden Horse Awards: Director Zhu, what an important director... Don't challenge my bottom line so I can't stand it...
So in comparison, although "Fengyun 2" is bad, it also maintains the consistent style of normal domestic blockbusters - there is no plot, but we have special effects!
Therefore, the result of these two rookies pecking each other is that "Fengyun 2" magically prevails!
Don't worry, there's going to be an even worse movie to save you soon!
On December 10th, on the third day of the release of "Fengyun 2" and "Thorn Tomb", Lao Mouzi brought his "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" into the Chinese New Year file, and on the day of the premiere, he directly grabbed the box office of 28 million!
Then the crowd went out and became angry!
it!
What the hell is this?
Is a movie like really made by Zhang Yimou?
"Three Guns" is Lao Zhang's tribute to the Coen brothers' "Blood Labyrinth".
It's a pity that "Blood Labyrinth" is a classic, and "Three Guns" was made into "Impression, Two Turns, Return"...
It is estimated that Zhang Weiping didn't have the face to say anything, so the publicity activities didn't fight much...
The red carpet of the Great Hall of the People of "Hero", the star concert of "Ambush on All Sides", the flowing water seat with the people in "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" to the cross-strait celebrity talk show of "Golden Armor"...
"Three Guns" didn't even have a media test screening...
Zhang Weiping has been clarifying that "Three Guns" is "grabbing money" to be produced at a low cost, but the low production cost of "Three Guns" is obvious, the whole film is shot in digital high-definition, the scenes are monotonous and most indoors, the characters have never changed their clothes from beginning to end, and no first-line stars have joined...
If what Zhang Weiping said is true, the biggest investment may be $2 million to buy the copyright of "Blood Labyrinth".
With the appeal of Lao Mouzi and Xiao Shen Yang's gimmick, to win high returns at low cost, the business of "Three Guns" is extremely shrewd!
"Three Guns" could be the film with the highest ROI of the year.
In many cases, the industrial nature of the film makes the production side have a choice, that is, to face or money, and this time Zhang Yimou's choice is undoubtedly money!
In short, such a movie can be regarded as a heavyweight for the bad movie of the year in 2009...
If Xu Hui was asked to shoot such a movie, what would he choose?
