Chapter 60: The Script and the Box Office

There is a question on Zhihu, 'Before the bad movie is made, did the director force the number in his heart?'

Well, there should be!

Since they can become directors, it means that they have the qualities required by a director, so they have vision, aesthetics, and literary skills, can they not see the unreasonableness and blood of a bad drama script?

So why do you want to shoot it, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be ruined?

Hehe, so naΓ―ve!

The core of a bad movie is to deceive the audience into entering the theater by unscrupulous means. The experience of entering the scene is not what these bad movie directors care about. As for smashing cards, they don't worry about it at all, they can always make money by playing according to the routine.

The evil consequence is that as long as many people see domestic films, they will subconsciously think that this thing is designated as a bad movie...

(The director here refers to a group of people with professional qualifications, not other industries as the legend suggests)

Xu Hui himself feels this way.

When compiling the first half, he felt that this story could be given 80 points, but in the second half, the rhythm was a little unconsciously a little tight, there was really no way, there was too much content, and there were more characters involved, and it was already very difficult to straighten out the relationship between these characters!

This is completely beyond Xu Hui's ability.

In fact, if he could think about it calmly at that time, he could split the first part into two parts, the first part would be until Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng died, and the second part would continue to shoot the love story of Ren Yingying and Ling Huchong.

In this way, there are a lot more details that can be told, and the whole will not seem impatient.

However, this is a movie, not a TV series 1

If you really want to shoot like that, you might as well make a TV series.

That's why Pao Hui put the two stories together!

Fortunately, most of the audience has read the original book and knows the story of the original version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", so it is not difficult to understand...

But it's still the same sentence, since it has been made into a movie, it has been decided to recompile the original story, which shows that Xu Hui has the intention to create a classic...

Obviously, this time he was a little confused.

It may not have been intended, but at least it turned out to be!

……

"Did you scold you?"

The girl was a little curious and reached out to take Pao Hui's mobile phone and looked at it.

"The overall feeling for me is that there are no good sentences, and the story is a little scattered. ”

"Once again, it proves that Jin Yong is completely unsuitable for making a movie, even if you are Xu Hui and Ning Hao!"

"The realm of this film is really different from the original book! Of course, that song is not bad!"

The contradictions are mainly concentrated in two aspects: one is the scattering of the story, and the other is the deliberate creation of the characters.

Of course, there are very few people who scold.

We all know that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is so long, and it is difficult to condense it into a movie!

As for competitors, they may still want to wait and see where the wind goes, of course, there must still be means to smear them.

There have been many small media outlets who have used a very regretful tone to say that 'Xu Hui has suffered a word-of-mouth crisis' or '"Smiling Proud Jianghu" has a poor reputation at midnight, and the box office fire has suffered Waterloo'

Many public accounts also followed the blind Ji Ba, and analyzed "Smiling Proud Jianghu" with the news of the death of an old friend of the Chinese people, I am afraid that it will become the fracture point of Xu Hui's movie, just like "Wuji" is to Chen Kaige...

There are actually a lot of people who like it under the key.

Hell knows what the psychology of these people is...

"Actually, I already knew that the first part of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" would not be too brilliant, so I fooled Ning Hao, originally thinking that with him on his shoulder, it would not be too dark for me..."

"You think too much, don't hack you, who hacks?"

β€œβ€¦ I'm so honest, I don't suck, I don't prostitute, I don't engage in extramarital affairs, why should I be hacked?"

β†’_β†’

The maid glanced at him, and everything was silent.

The whole business car seems to have been shocked by the declaration of a good man in Pao Hui, are you a good man, don't you have a B number in your heart?

……

Long Aotian, a very hung name, during the barbaric period of online articles, Long Aotian's image was shocking.

The appearance is very strong.,Do things without common sense.、The hero who doesn't use his mind but can easily kill the enemy with the protagonist's aura.。 All in all, it can be considered a male version of "Mary Sue".

Generally, the people who use this screen name are teenagers who have a slight secondary disease in their subconscious.

However, there are exceptions, for example, a teenager who appeared at the roadshow station of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in Shanghai, he has long red hair, sharp eyes, an embarrassing beard, and a weight of 200 pounds!

His name is Wu Long, 91, grass walking ID: Old man Long Aotian!

His identity is very diverse, in addition to the usual mask X child, he is also a fan of Xu Hui, and of course, his profession is a journalist!

With the identity of a reporter, even if he has 3 skins or 4 skins, it can be said that he is to experience life!

If you are caught, you just need to take out your press card and say, 'Lao Tzu is here for an unannounced visit!'

Isn't it normal for cultural people to go to the sea to experience life...

Without personal experience, how can you write a brilliant article?

"The light wine is in front of the people, and the nephrite lamp is embraced. Looking back into the embrace is always reasonable, painful and painful.

Push Lang lightly. Gradually hearing the trembling, slightly frightened red. Try and change the longitudinal, there is no seam, this time the flavor is crazy, moving.

Arms together, lips together, tongues together. ”

If Song Huizong had no experience, he would be able to write a story that has been passed down through the ages... Poetry?

Damn, there are such fans, and I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky...

At this time, the roadshow of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" reached the reporter's Q&A stage, and the host noticed this two-hundred-pound red-haired beautiful man - it was too conspicuous.

"I want to ask, director Xu Hui, this time "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has weakened the emotional line, is it because there are too many plots to tell, so..."

"I see what you mean. ”

Xu Hui looked at the funeral love and nodded: "Actually, before filming Xiaoao, I had two ideas, one was to shoot according to the plot, and the other was to completely subvert it, then the first part you saw was not too contrary to the plot's shooting method, and the second part was completely subverted, I think I have a good grasp of the essence of the original work, showing a more cruel Jianghu!"

β€œβ€¦ What is the reason for the plot of Blue Phoenix and Yue Lingshan?"

After all, this is a commercial film, and if it really wants to go down the cruel road, the audience may not be able to accept it. ”

"Actually, I want to ask, does director Xu Hui have any ideas for making a movie about same-sex love?"

"This, it depends on the situation, maybe I'll be interested one day, after all, men have a little lily tendency!"

The scene was a little noisy, probably I didn't expect Xu Hui to be so honest!

Men have a lot of inferior roots, specific to Xu Hui, he likes to play with eggs, and he has the dream of three rooms and six concubines in his bones, etc...

Long Aotian sat down satisfied.

Movie promotion, in the final analysis, should return to the movie itself, although Long Aotian made a not very good start, but the host needs to control the rhythm.

"Director, many people have commented that the story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a bit messy, do you have anything to say about this?"

β€œβ€¦ This blames me, I'm a fan of Jin Yong, so when I was creating the script, I unconsciously developed the plot according to my understanding, which led to the overall story being a little too scattered, but I believe that everyone should still be able to understand it, because the theme is very clear. ”

"Why did you want to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?"

β€œβ€¦ To put it simply, I want to make a summary, the movies that have been filmed for five years are basically martial arts genres, and I especially want to try other styles of works, Jin Yong's martial arts as the most popular work of the public, used to make a summary, I think it is appropriate, 'Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leans on the blue duck', among them, the story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the closest to the real Jianghu, of course, choosing this story, there are also selfish intentions, because the first Jin Yong I watched was "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and I have always wanted to shoot..."

……

At the end of the roadshow in Shanghai, under the leadership of the security personnel, the main creators of the crew left the cinema, and at the exit position, they met the funeral love.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

I'm so impressed...

"Director Xu Hui, this is the script I wrote, how about you take a look, if you can, please let me be the director!"

As he spoke, the 200-pound X boy handed Xu Hui a thick pile of manuscripts in his hand, and by the way, there was a USB flash drive.

"The First Half of My Life?"

Xu Hui was a little surprised, "The First Half of My Life" is of course a very good TV series, even Xu Hui has watched several episodes, you must know that he never watches TV series!

However, the screenwriter of the TV series is a woman, it seems to be called Qin Wen...

"Okay, I'll contact you if it's appropriate!"

Xu Hui nodded.

People can't look good, it's much better for a reporter to turn into a director than those industries that are not related!

In today's Chinese entertainment industry, talent reserves are very important.

……

Night, hotel.

Xu Hui was leaning on the sofa, holding the book "The First Half of My Life" in his hand, but he had no idea of opening it.

He's waiting for the sight data to refresh.

"How's this script?"

After taking a bath, the maid sat beside Xu Hui refreshed, and rubbed her wet hair on him by the way...

β€œβ€¦ Don't you catch a cold, don't you have a hair dryer?"

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

Ya Yi stretched out her hand to take the script and read it: "By the way, has the box office come out on the first day?"

"It's still refreshing, it's 120 million now!"

"120 million, so high?"

"You don't look at who made it!"

Xu Hui smiled a little smugly.

It's 10 o'clock in the evening, and the box office has reached 120 million (plus midnight shows), which means that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has set a first-day box office record.

"Now rest assured... This one... How is this H-colored?"

Just after reading the first page, Ya Yi was startled, this pair of white people also love Chiguoguo.

"Really, I'll see!"

Xu Hui was interested, saying that he hadn't seen vulgar for a long time!

"Su Qin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, take off the clothes on his body, and by the way, take off the clothes of the red hearts as well, and the two bodies are entangled..."

"It's so badly written!"

Pao Hui only read one page, and then lost interest.

If you want to talk about the writing plot, the first recommendation is, of course, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng's "Golden Vase Plum" and Li Yu's "***", which has written all the world's glamorous and vulgar feelings, and "Luo Bing" and "***" are also well written, which are much better than this "The First Half of My Life"!

"There's a USB flash drive here, do we want to take a look?"
