Chapter 5 Going to the United States
Huiwen Tianxia attaches great importance to its directors and actors, and this attention is not only reflected in the strong financial support, but also in the respect for each other!
Xu Hui rarely said anything like 'this is handed over to me to do!' or 'When the company is listed, everyone here is a great hero' and other pretending words, more often when there is a problem, several people discuss countermeasures together, and then find a relationship to solve the good relationship, if it can't be solved, then modify...
Especially with Ning Hao!
"No Man's Land" is basically already in a free-range state.
After Pony Pento took a ticket with Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, he may feel that our mainland filmmakers are old-fashioned and decisively abandoned their old love...
This is really incomparable with Huayi, although Huayi maintains a good relationship with the Hong Kong circle, their biggest reliance has not changed, that is, Feng Xiaogang!
Huiwen Tianxia not only took over the distribution of "No Man's Land", but also took over the distribution of "The Great Gold Robbery".
And in order to let Ning Hao completely die, or let Pony let him go, Huiwen Tianxia paid all the production fees of the two movies to Pony, the cost of "No Man's Land" was 16 million, and the production cost of "The Great Gold Robbery" was 30 million plus almost 40 million in the later stage, and Huiwen was all handed over to Pony...
So, at the beginning of December, Huiwen announced that he had signed a contract with Ning Hao...
The actor has a controversy about having a brother and a sister, but the first director is basically Xu Hui, and no one is unconvinced.
Four years after their debut, the cumulative global box office was 1.6 billion US dollars, which was converted into RMB, which has exceeded 10 billion!
“… Also, I will participate in the early stage of "Dao Ma Dan" at most, and I have to rely on you in the later stage, there is an American drama in the United States, I want to try..."
"You're going to Hollywood?"
Lu Yang was a little moved, this is his absolute trust in him, but a man, he won't say it in words, but he joked.
“… I can't count it, at most it's just a way to explore, and you know, "Cinema Paradiso" is set to start filming at the end of tomorrow, and I always have to adapt to the production process of the American union!"
"Come on!"
"Hehe..."
The two laughed a few words, the door of the dressing room opened, and the hot bar in a suit cautiously walked out of it.
Short hair on the back, a black scarf under the white shirt collar, and pearls embedded on it, adding charm to the heroic force!
What a heroic beauty!
"Wow!"
Before Xu Hui could speak, Nazha couldn't help but pounce over, looking at the hot bar's outfit enviously: "You look so good like this!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Xu Hui stepped forward with a smile and quipped, "You ask Nazha, has she been bent?"
"What do you mean?"
I don't understand it again...
“… It's because your men's clothes are handsome and charming, and women want to marry you!"
It's really hard to communicate with these people, and you need to bring your own translator!
"Tsk, our director really loves her sister very much, this look alone has been eaten by both men and women!"
Li Ying also stepped forward, I don't know if she was jealous, in short, a word of praise was a little sour...
"That's why we can afford such a shape in our hot bar, if the face is too round, it will definitely not work!"
Nazha seemed to have eaten gunpowder and said a word.
Li Ying was a girl who didn't dare to reply when she was scared, and immediately reacted: "Hehe, what's wrong with the round face?
"Come on, come on, let's take makeup photos first!"
The Shura field is about to start, and Xu Hui hurriedly plays a round field.
The two sisters shut their mouths at the same time.
After all, they are still a new harem group, and their palace fighting skills are far behind, and they still have a trace of Xu Hui... Afraid, after all, it's the top boss ...
So, shut up.
However, judging from this trend, it is difficult for Lu Yang to fully control the crew!
Give Lu Yang a look of self-begging...
The makeup photo shoot was completed, and the three women pestered the cameraman respectively, posing for various photos.
"Director, can we upload it on Weibo?"
"Of course!"
Makeup photos are taken for publicity.
……
"Dao Ma Dan" has a lot of Peking Opera scenes, which is a test for Nazha and Li Ying, including the hot bar.
Cao Yun also sang on stage at the end.
This can only be counted on by Mr. Yu Kuizhi for more guidance, fortunately, the movie only requires them to look alike, as for the real singing, there will be professional actors to help with the dubbing in the later stage, if you really want to make a few of them perform no different from professional Peking Opera actors, can this thing be done with two months of training?
Peking Opera requires ten years of work off stage, do you think it's a joke?
No matter how talented they are, they don't have the children's skills of Peking Opera!
Not only the three of them, but also King Kaikai and Zhou Yiwei all need to receive a short period of intensive training in Peking Opera...
After dealing with the preliminary matters of "Dao Ma Dan", Xu Hui, Huang Wen, Chen Farong and Liu Sisi left China on a flight to North America...
……
As of January 12th, the box office of "New Dragon Gate Inn", which was released for 28 days, exceeded 1.28 billion, and the single-day box office was miserable, less than 2 million, and the box office potential has been exhausted.
If it weren't for colliding with "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", there must still be a chance to break 1.4 billion!
As for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the single-day box office has fallen below one million, with a cumulative box office of 480 million, and Zhang Weipin's small goal has only been completed halfway yet...
On the first day, "The Great Gold Robbery" won a box office score of 21.87 million, and "The Great Magician" with the blessing of Liang Chaowei, Liu Qingyun and Zhou Xun only won a box office of 16.76 million...
It is clear that the appeal of traditional Hong Kong films to mainland audiences has declined!
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Er Dongsheng has never been a director that mainland audiences particularly like to admire.
Du Niang searched for Er Dongsheng, and the first place was 'Why is Er Dongsheng not popular...'
Well, maybe it's because he's too axial, or he thinks that mainland audiences are too easy to fool, so the movies that are brought to the market are worse than the other...
Of course, Er Dongsheng is also a very talented Hong Kong director, he filmed "The True Story of the Crazy Guy" in 1986, and in 93 there was a "New Love", after entering the new century, "Can't Forget" let Zhang Baizhi win the Golden Statue Queen, he is also the first batch of Hong Kong directors with a box office of more than 100 million - "The King of Guns"...
But after that, it was a bit out of step with the trend, when the box office record of mainland movies rose to 1 billion, 2 billion or even 3 billion, the highest box office of his film was still the box office record of 170 million set by "The Great Magician"...
Frankly speaking, "The Great Magician" is not a good movie, but it is also a passing standard.
In terms of plot, it is more like a comedy similar to "East Becomes West", according to the evaluation of "Ten Releases": "The Great Magician" is a variety of heartless entertainment elements after a mess of stew, everyone finally found that the whole story has nothing to do with magic, it is about ordinary young people helping literary and artistic young people fight for women with a young man who is forced to fight, and in the end, the young people find that they no longer need women.
is very happy, such a movie will be placed in the New Year file, and there will still be many people cheering for it.
However, with a box office of 170 million and an investment production cost of 80 million, "The Great Magician" still loses money...
As for "The Great Gold Robbery", it is estimated that Ning Hao didn't expect the audience's evaluation to be so low!
