Director Feng Xiaogang said in 09 'I have long seen that Hong Kong audiences look down on mainland movies!'

Well, there's a little bit of truth to that, too.

After all, the Hong Kong box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is only 12 million Hong Kong dollars, while the obvious money-making work "The Strongest Thing" can win more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong...

Some people may say that because China is too big, the south and the north appreciate different things, for example, the sketch king Zhao Benshan, his influence can only cover the north of the Yangtze River at most, and the base camp is the three eastern provinces.

After the Shanhaiguan, no one knows Zhao Benshan!

Similarly, Hong Kong-style comedies are not very popular in the mainland.

Cultural differences...

Of course, Hong Kong films are obviously much higher than mainland films in terms of commercialization, and local audiences have long been accustomed to the impact of films from all over the world, so it is understandable that mainland commercial films do not sell at the box office in Hong Kong.

This is also what the directors in Xiangjiang are most proud of - although we have declined, at least we still have the final say on the Chinese films in our own city!

Xiangjiang filmmaker, tsk...

Therefore, Xu Hui made three movies in a row, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", "Huang Feihong", and "Sunshine Sisters" topped the top three box office lists in 09 and 10 years.

It's very uncomfortable for them!

We are in decline, admittedly, but you have taken off, which is a bit unacceptable!

Why are you taking off?

You should be going downhill like us!

Since the 90s, Xiangjiang filmmakers have gone north, and at that time, Xiangjiang filmmakers were superior in the entire Chinese film industry.

Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.

This Nima hasn't reached 20 years yet, okay...

The release of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" directly equaled the box office record on the first day of Chinese films - 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day of "Kung Fu" in 04!

The media was shocked, this is the first time in film history.

So, they started to take action and interview industry bigwigs for their views on the matter.

"The mainland director's "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" won 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office on the first day, does it mean that Xiangjiang Films has lagged behind the mainland?"

How to say it, it can only be said that the production center of Chinese-language films has slowly shifted to the mainland, but it really has to be said who is advanced and who is backward.

Even in 2018, mainland films still lag behind Hong Kong films in terms of industry and proficiency!

The most obvious example, in terms of the business sophistication of the crew, our mainland crew is compared with the Xiangjiang crew, which is simply the difference between a miscellaneous army and a well-trained ace army!

And Xiangjiang has a complete guild of directors, actors, screenwriters, and producers, what about us?

However, it is an indisputable fact that the box office and word-of-mouth of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" took off, and Xu Hui has also become a new movie idol of the younger generation in Xiangjiang.

Out of pride, these bigwigs are also reluctant to say good things in front of the media.

For example, director Chen Jiashang, he said: "I think this is just an example, it doesn't mean anything, and I think Xu Hui, a young man, is very smart, I only watched one of his movies "Wong Fei Hung", let's analyze the behind-the-scenes team of the entire crew, whether it is photography, costumes or action design, it is the same set of our Hong Kong films, so Xu Hui's movies should continue the production mode of our Hong Kong films!"

This is relatively 'fair', there are blind people with their eyes closed, for example, Wen Eng - Chairman of the Academy Awards, he said: "In fact, from the perspective of screenwriters, Xu Hui's movies obviously have a lot of shortcomings, although the plot setting is very dramatic, but it can't help but scrutinize, and in terms of production costs and the effect of film display, I think the watchability of "New Shaolin Temple" is far higher than that of "Men Should Be Self-reliant"!"

There are even a few bigwigs who talked about "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" from the real character Huang Feihong, and they said, 'Xu Hui fictionalized a real character, which is disrespectful to the elderly!'

When it comes to the action design in Once Upon a Time, they are also critical: 'It doesn't conform to physics...'

Forcing your eyes to be blind...

It may be that they have lived in a small place for a long time, and the Xiangjiang filmmakers, including the Taiwanese filmmakers and TV people, have a problem, and they think that what they say will only be known by the local aborigines.

I never thought that in the Internet era, every word you say will be transmitted to the Internet!

'Tea Egg' Stem, 'Two Hours Sweeping Fu Jian'...

Tsk, what courage!

……

The release of the movie was well received, which is of course a good thing.

But with a lot of praise, the popularity can easily drop.

There are not enough points of publicity!

The media can't always use '"Men should be self-reliant" released every day, and it will be well received' to promote the title, there must be a place for hype.

Released at the same time, the crushed "New Shaolin Temple" can also be regarded as an object that can be used for hype.

However, people are already miserable, on the third day of release, the box office reported 8 million, and the number of films in theaters was reduced to only 21%...

After all, it is a peer, such a ridicule of Chiguoguo, it can't show its bearing!

Therefore, in a series of drafts of Huiwen Tianxia, there is no mention of "New Shaolin Temple", only about his own achievements...

Now that someone is facing it, of course Xu Hui will not miss it.

“… The movie is made to make people comment, there is no perfect movie in the world, and I am very grateful that the work "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" can be praised by so many people. In the past few days, some people have said that I have copied the idea of 'October Siege', and some people have said that I can't help but scrutinize the script. I'm really a little speechless, "The Siege of October" is of course a good movie, but I haven't reached the level of plagiarism, when my "Men should be self-reliant" script came out, "The Siege of October" has not yet been released! If filming the same subject matter constitutes plagiarism, then the movie will not be able to be made, the movie has developed for more than 100 years, and there is basically no new theme!"

"As for what some people say about the loopholes in the script, it's too dramatic... Movies are supposed to be dramatic, and if there is no drama, it's called a documentary!"

After writing it, I sent it directly to Weibo.

Immediately, a bunch of netizens came to comment.

"That's it, that's a good point! Dramatic conflicts are so natural to talk about things, really!"

"I really convinced these people, film and television dramas that are in line with historical materials, they said that they were not commercial enough, and they were not good-looking, and now, they said that the drama was too conflicting, what do you want?

"Some people say that Huang Feihong is not so powerful... I'll go, do you know what a movie is?"

This Weibo quickly appeared on the hot search, after all, now Pao Hui's influence and the number of fans are the top ones - his Weibo fans have 18 million, ranking first among all artists.

……

The next day, the propaganda of Hangzhou.

Of course, the hometown media was very enthusiastic, and Xu Hui's answer was a lot more sincere.

"I think some people are really full, people make a movie in Hollywood, they can fly if they have superpowers, you watch it with relish, and say that people shoot well, but it becomes illogical to me!"

"I put the character in a certain era, and then combined with the particularity of the era to give the character an image and the things he can be exposed to, this is the most common way to create a film, why is it too dramatic?"

"I see that some people just kneel for a long time, think that Chinese movies are just not good, and think that Chinese should not film like this!"

"This kind of person, don't come to watch my movies, I don't like it!"
