Chapter 135: Returning Home

We also fantasize about what kind of person we will become, and life is a process of discovering that we are destined for mediocrity!

You just have to watch others wonderful, and God has other plans for you.

Love can make the proudest princess put down her body, and it can also give courage to the humblest coward.

These are the truest portrayals of Mr. Chen!

Admittedly, the main reason for suddenly posting this Weibo is, of course, to promote the new movie.

On Zhihu, there is a question, how to evaluate Mr. Chen, the most liked: Mr. Chen is very awesome!

An actor became a screenwriter and eventually became a director. His experience shows that actors who don't want to be directors are not good screenwriters, the original time and space, the movie version of "Northern Love", Mr. Chen's debut film directly brushed down 500 million box office results!

This is a very impressive statistic!

It is also the main reason why Wanda and Huayi are optimistic about him!

Thinking of Mr. Chen, Xu Hui suddenly thought of the big IP of 'Chinatown'.

There are a lot of things that can't be filmed in China that can be made into a 'Chinatown' series, such as 'Chinatown Detective', 'Chinatown Invisible Guests'...

Although in essence, Xu Hui and Mr. Chen are similar, both of them belong to men with obvious 'scumbag' attributes, but who made him the protagonist, and can the things that the protagonist does be called a bad thing?

Lu Xun said: Readers stealing books can only be regarded as stealing books. By extension, it should be said that the cannon is also pitying!

……

On the 18th, Xu Hui returned to China.

The Chinese New Year file is still very intense, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released for 20 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.2 billion, and the box office of "Private Custom" and "Police Story 2013" was suppressed and completely unable to raise its head!

"Private Custom" was released for a month, and the box office broke 500 million, nearly 200 million less than the original time and space, and "Police Story 2013" also had a box office performance of about 100 million less than the original time and space...

Facts have once again proved that the schedule is important for movies and the opponent is also very important!

Without the cooperation of pig teammates, how can it reflect the excellence of a movie?

It's as if "Detective Chinatown 2" is even better in the contrast of "Monster Hunt 2" and "Journey to the West: Daughter Country".

A truth...

Without the foil of "Private Custom", it cannot reflect the excellence of "Charlotte's Troubles" at all, just like "Hong Kong" and "Charlotte's Troubles" in the original time and space were released at the same time, and the latter beat its opponents by word of mouth.

In other words, Director Feng is really a good helper for the progress of the younger generations, last year's "1942" set off "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Guangtou was brought out, and this year "Private Custom" was used to set off the rise of the Happy Twist team.

Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow!

However, he doesn't care anymore, people are busy preparing for the 2014 Spring Festival Gala!

Although "Charlotte's Troubles" was produced and distributed by Huiwen, the structure of the entire story, including the first audience, went to the sign of Happy Twist.

Chinese films have developed for decades, and we can find one thing at a time, that is: Chinese films have always lacked truly excellent IP!

In other words, our expectations of 'IP' are greatly placed on the director.

The audience is always dissatisfied, and when the boundaries between IP and people are particularly blurred, these problems will be brought about.

In the original time and space, from "Charlotte's Troubles" to "Donkey Gets Water", to "Iron Fist of Shame", and later "The Earl of Oolong Mountain", Happy Twist's movies are all adapted from their dramas. They do it very carefully. Because it is very common to change movies, there are also movies adapted from dramas, but there are very few that are particularly outstanding.

Moreover, the themes of all the movies of Happy Twist have obvious strong and weak sides.

And all the contrasts of power, human sophistication, forbearance and bitterness are hidden in laughter again and again, and they can be discovered slowly.

The three most important jobs in film production: director, screenwriter, and actor.

And Happy Twist's requirements for these three, or the requirements they put forward when they work together, are very simple, that is: tell a good story. It doesn't have to be grandiose, but it has to be a good story with sorrows, joys, sorrows, and joys. The foundation of the drama stipulates the number of actors and the reality of the story.

The twisted film is simple and profound.

Stay true to the story first.

It would be to really go on and talk at length about the secret to their success. No success in this era is without the element of luck.

But focusing on realistic stories and people's hearts, and using humorous and witty language to feed bitter things into the audience's mouth, must be in line with the current audience's taste.

PS: "Donkey Gets Water" is not the work of the Happy Twist team, it's just a collaboration...

In fact, before investing in movies, Happy Twist's annual profit was usually less than 20 million.

Xu Hui was a shareholder of Happy Twist at the end of 08, Zhang Cheng at that time did not expect that Happy Twist would be in full swing later, it was a difficult time to operate, so 50 million got nearly 40% of the equity of Happy Twist!

Since the release of "Charlotte's Troubles", Happy Twist has also begun to pursue listing, with the first round of IPO estimated at 8 billion...

Of course, Xu Hui's shares must have been diluted a lot, but he still retains 30% of the shares!

Tsk, the investment of 50 million was directly exchanged for nearly 40 times the profit!

……

It was on a private jet and did not alarm reporters.

Xu Hui returned directly to the company, a series of celebrations are not listed, this award season, the biggest gain to the company is of course the soaring stock price.

Huiwen's stock price has been stable for a long time, and there is no major stimulus, so it is difficult to improve.

Even when "Undefeated in the East" was released, Huiwen's stock price only rose by one percent...

"Later, Yang Ma will have something to interview, you are ready!"

"The People's Daily will also send someone over for an exclusive interview..."

After the greetings, a bunch of schedules were thrown away, and Xu Hui came back from the United States without caring at all.

“… Is it a phone interview?"

"No, it's a live interview with the camera team!"

"News Network?"

"30 News Minutes!"

"It's been almost a week?

“… You're not here!"

"Well..."

After all, it is Yang Ma's show, and Xu Hui has to appear even if he is reluctant.

Half an hour later, the film crew walked into Xu Hui's office.

At the end of the visit, Xu Hui thought for a while and asked, "... Is it possible to advertise?"

“… We're already helping you with advertising!"

……

The next day, that is, at noon on the 19th, Yang Ma's "News 30 Minutes" started broadcasting on time.

The host Cui Zhigang stared at the teleprompter with a calm face: "A short message is inserted below, a few days ago, China's famous director Xu Hui won the best director, best picture, and best actor awards at the just-concluded 71st American TV and Film Golden Globe Awards with the movie "Paradise Cinema", becoming the first Chinese in film history to win this honor..."

"A few days ago, director Xu Hui, who returned to China to participate in the premiere of "Paradise Cinema", was interviewed by our reporter and expressed his confidence in domestic films..."

The report lasted less than two minutes, and after Xu Hui finished reading it, he just wanted to complain: "When did I say that I am full of confidence in domestic movies? "Paradise Cinema" is a foreign language film, okay!"
