Xu Hui's speech continued.

"I came to South Korea in 02, and at that time SM auditioned idol groups, of course I signed up, and then I was brushed off!"

A stunned exclamation erupted at the scene.

“… It's normal, I just went to South Korea at that time, I wasn't proficient in Korean, I didn't dance very well, and I couldn't sing, how could I be selected for TVXQ!"

"Oh, it's TVXQ!"

Many viewers in the audience suddenly realized.

“… Not being selected does not mean that the company has given up on me, including the president of SM, Li Xiuman, who personally promised me that it will definitely make me popular!"

"Later, I joined SJ and made my debut. ”

"Korean pop songs, including idol groups, are like an assembly line that can be mass-produced, and SM's star-making ability is really strong, and soon, I became famous. ”

"After that, something very unpleasant happened, roughly that I wanted to return to China for development, but the company did not agree, and the company wanted me to help expand the business in the mainland... Forget it, I won't mention this!"

"I made my first movie in '08, "Embroidered Spring Knife", which is a martial arts film. ”

"I have said on many occasions that at the beginning, my agent positioned me as an actor, and I fought several times but failed, and the route set by the agency team and me at that time was a powerful idol actor. ”

"Then, I met another good thing, the crew who originally agreed to use me suddenly didn't want to use me! I really thank that director, if it wasn't for him, I really wouldn't have had a chance to make my own movie!"

"Making a movie is not as simple as you think, you can play it with money, and if you have money, you can play it, it is an independent film! I want to make a commercial film, and I need to have a mature distribution channel, so I must convince the distribution company, that is, Huayi Brothers. ”

"The crew didn't want to use me, which meant that I wouldn't have any filming, so I discussed with my agent if I could shoot the work I had conceived for five years first..."

Speaking of this, Xu Hui paused for a moment and looked at the audience with a smile: "What I just said about five years is fake! In fact, it only took me three months from the idea of having this idea to the finalization of the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife", that is, in 07 years!"

Xu Hui has been honed for five years, and "Embroidered Spring Knife" is finally out of the sheath!

This is a poignant story that many people know, and they think of an image that they tirelessly pursue in the pursuit of cinema.

Now, the person concerned has torn this mask apart!

The audience was stunned.

"That's all there is to movie promotion, if you don't say something nice and describe the filming process as difficult, who wants to spend money to watch your movie?"

"Continuing to talk about "Embroidered Spring Knife", my agent's name is Huang Wen, who is very famous in the circle and has a lot of connections, as long as I can get him to support me, then the matter of making a movie will be easy to do! Huang Wen put forward a condition, if I can persuade Wu Jing to join, he is willing to help me find Huayi brothers!"

"Then I ran to HK and pestered Wu Jingge for three days, and he went back to the mainland with me, and then, Huang Wengen also fulfilled his promise to help me persuade Wang Zhonglei to agree to produce "Embroidered Spring Knife"!"

"After that, "Embroidered Spring Knife" sold 200 million, and in a trance, I was labeled as a 200 million director by the media..."

"As far as you say, have you ever seen a big director like me?"

"Nope!"

The audience's answers were very uniform, Xu Hui smiled: "Actually, I'm really grateful to the film school that didn't take me in at the beginning, if they really accepted me, I might not have the opportunity to direct a commercial film independently so soon, and my mentality will change." ”

"It's not sarcasm, I'm telling the truth! Because according to my previous life plan, I was admitted to film school, and after I came out, I made a movie, and when I compare it with the real situation, you will find that I have experienced a lot in the middle!"

"Without these experiences, I would never be what I am now!"

"The most likely thing for me is to be absorbed by the academy and become a director that the audience hates. ”

The audience in the audience cheered one after another, of course they knew that Xu Hui was pertinent when he said this.

"Don't scream, what I said is true, some time ago I had an online debate with a certain director, including an interview with Sister Yang Yan, I said that I hate that kind of self-righteous director, but directors who graduated from formal film schools are not all such people! They are far away from the masses, they like to discuss human nature, and the key is not to discuss what is so..."

Xu Hui shrugged: "They deserve to be abandoned by the audience!"

"Back to the topic of my speech, why do I say that now is the best era for Chinese films, as a practitioner, I know very well how good the current market environment is!"

"In 08, our annual box office performance is 4.8 billion, so far this year, there have been 2.9 billion, and it is expected that the box office revenue for the whole year this year will not be less than 6.5 billion, 10 years, it is very likely to exceed 10 billion, according to this rate of development, at most 15 years, our annual box office results can reach 30 billion!"

"At that time, the market will be able to accommodate a work with a box office of more than one billion, even two billion, or three billion!"

The audience in the audience was a little disapproving, even if they were fans of Xu Hui, they also felt that what Ya said was too fantastic, and it was still one billion, two billion, you must know that the annual box office of the year before last was only more than two billion!

Xu Hui ignored it completely and continued to speak: "The market is bigger, so we can have more confidence in making movies, and we are willing to try more genre works." ”

"In such a good era, of course I want to leave my own mark in this era as a director!"

"The movie "Those Years" has helped me accomplish a small goal, temporarily winning the box office championship in the history of domestic films, although I know that this result will be obsolete soon, but I am still very happy. ”

The box office champion in film history is just a small goal, okay, this one forces me to give full marks.

"When I said that I wanted to shoot "Those Years", the company was not very optimistic about this project, there was no star lineup, and the only thing that was a little famous was the starring role and director Xu Hui, by the way, there were a few guest actors. ”

The audience smiled knowingly again.

If you only talk about the star lineup of the movie "Those Years", there is indeed only Xu Hui who can be called a star, and the other actors are all face-to-face goods, but Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, including Hu Ge, who made cameo appearances, are all big stars known to everyone.

"But I don't believe that the audience just watches movies to see stars, doesn't anyone really care about the story itself? Fortunately, I made a lot of money in the first movie, and the company was very convinced of me, and after the movie was released, it was very popular, which proved that my vision was correct!"

"Someone asked me why I was so interested in a Taiwanese bend and took great pains to adapt it, I replied, in fact, the reason is very simple, because when I read the original book, I was moved!"

"A work that can move me will definitely move the audience too!"

"Movies can move the audience, and that's the right way to open a movie. ”
