Chapter 1 January 8, 2013

As a matter of fact, the so-called youth deputies refer to those who have made great achievements in a certain field and then become outstanding among the vast number of young people.

Xu Hui is a representative of the literary and artistic circles...

If he wants to take this opportunity to transform, it is not without a chance, but unfortunately, Pao Hui's political wisdom is equivalent to that of a retarded mind.

"You haven't thought about making some red-themed works?"

“… Well, there are plans for that..."

"Outwitting Tiger Mountain" should be regarded as a red-themed film and television work, right?

"Don't be too tired, try to spend as much time as possible with your children!"

Father Xu paused.

Staying in Cefalù for the past few days, Xu's father really felt what kind of situation the film shooting was like.

Xu Hui gets up at seven o'clock every day and is busy until half past six in the afternoon...

Really, a film director must have a good physical condition and enough energy and enthusiasm...

"Well, don't worry, except for making movies, the rest of my time is spent with my son..."

He didn't dare to look directly at Father Xu at all.

"Paradise Cinema" is over, and the two works of "Beautiful Life" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" are about to be launched, as well as the publicity of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Undefeated in the East"...

Damn, I wanted to make an album in the time...

I guess it's no longer a show!

Not far away, fireworks were lifted into the sky.

Father and son stopped talking.

2013 is here!

……

The year 2013 has arrived.

According to the data released by the Bureau of Statistics, in 2012, the total box office of Chinese films reached 18 billion, and it is expected to exceed 22 billion this year...

Who would have thought that ten years ago, our total box office number was only 920 million?

Miracles are not enough!

The prosperity of the Chinese film market is already a fact in front of us!

Looking at this annual film report, everyone can clearly see that if it weren't for the popularity of the Chinese New Year stalls that led to the increase in the number of domestic film box offices, it is estimated that this year's pattern will change!

Hollywood attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and many blockbusters have confirmed that they will invite Chinese actors to participate in the filming - soy sauce...

I don't know if the popularity of the domestic market has made many Chinese filmmakers just satisfied with this, a few years ago, a bunch of people were still clamoring to promote Chinese films overseas!

It's good now, but there aren't many companies that have that ambition...

There are even many people within Huiwen World who hold this opinion!

So much so that the 2013 work plan in North America basically continued several projects in 2012, except for the TV series, there was no film production project!

Xu Hui scolded Huang Wen over the phone.

Why, it took a long time to open up the situation in North America, why, now give up?

“… There really aren't any good projects, and the scripts that come to the door are terrible..."

No matter what method you use, at least three or more movies will be produced in North America this year, and if you can't do it, you will buy a company!"

It's not terrible to lose money, it's terrible to lose your enterprising spirit!

The reason why Huiwen Tianxia is so optimistic about shareholders is that in addition to his outstanding domestic results, he can also participate in foreign movies, which is a very important reason!

……

After all, "Thai Embarrassment" is a domestic 2D comedy movie genre, and the box office cycle of this type of movie is only 20 days at most.

It's normal, after all, the problem of piracy has not been completely solved...

With the end of the New Year's Day holiday, the single-day box office of "Thai Embarrassment", including "Zodiac", dropped to less than 10 million...

On January 8th, "The Grandmaster", which has been prepared by Da Lao Wang for five years, was released!

Of course Wang Jiawei is a genius!

Ang Lee said: "Our generation of directors, when it comes to talent, they can't compare to Wang Jiawei!"

But it's too slow!

Before "The Grandmaster", his work was "2046", which was released in 2004...

"Eight years of preparation, three years of shooting"...

This efficiency can make investors cry!

When the "Grandmaster" project was proposed, "Ip Man" was still only a draft, "Ip Man" came out in two versions, Zhen Dan became a kung fu superstar with this role, and Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" has not started filming...

Da Lao Wang has a lot of fans, and when "The Grandmaster" was released, the theater directly gave 38% of the film schedule...

The box office on the first day was 39 million.

It is also the highest single-day box office of this movie...

I'm very disappointed, of course, "The Grandmaster" can beat most domestic movies, but compared with Lao Wang's previous works, it is much worse!

And such a film with its carved images and dialogue did not move me at all. ’

"This is a journey of seeing oneself, seeing heaven and earth, and seeing sentient beings" "Seeing oneself" took 20 minutes of martial arts + 100 minutes of not knowing what to do, but the result was still not what to do; "Heaven and Earth" and "sentient beings" did not see at all, only saw the noise of a screen. ’

'I'm sorry, but in my opinion, it's a big bad movie, a bunch of elements piled up to cater to a specific audience for commercial purposes, some clichéd classical operas like boring pretentious stories, everyone has been tense and more and more like a play, the whole pretending to be a treasure trove'

Even loyal fans of Da Lao Wang will say: "The Grandmaster", the emphasis is not on the form, it is not powerful, and the film is Lynch, for ordinary audiences, the narrative of the film is still too fragmented and jumpy, which is an obstacle.

More than an obstacle...

A lot of people don't understand it at all!

may be out of box office considerations, adding Zhao Jiaban's role...

What a disobedience!

By the way, in the international version of "The Grandmaster", the eldest king deleted Zhao Benshan's role...

Every shot and every paragraph is wonderful and can be savored in detail, but after it is combined, it loses its brilliance.

But no matter what the reason, the draft version of "The Grandmaster" released this time disappointed Wang Jiawei's fans...

PK at the same time as "The Grandmaster" is "Orphaned"...

……

On December 22 last month, the Golden Globe Awards announced the nominations, and "Orphaned" was selected for the best foreign language film!

When Huiwen Company promoted "Orphaned", the main focus was "the first domestic film reflecting the theme of abduction", and by the way, it also intercepted a bunch of foreign praise...

Originally, I wanted to blow a wave of overseas marketing achievements of "Orphaned", but I was worried that I would be hacked, and because of the subject matter, some people would definitely say 'selling China's ugliness' or something like that...

There's no way, and I don't know when it started, once it comes to movies like crime and human nature, it will always be considered to be flattering to the Western world...

So, I simply gave up on this and only blew the movie itself!

Huiwen world, including Xue Xiaolu himself, does not have great expectations for the filming of "Lost Orphans", and it would be good to have a box office of 30 million!

is a bit unexpected, on the first day of release, "Orphaned" actually won a box office score of 13 million, which should be attributed to Huang Bo...

The national favorability of this product is too high!

However, even with Huang Bo's blessing, the story and theme of "Orphaned" are destined not to be a big seller...

In the first week of release, the cumulative box office was 65 million, and Xue Xiaolu was satisfied!
