Zhang Weiping is a businessman, and after catching up with Zhang Yimou, he began to invest in his films, and then began to make money.

It is estimated that he thinks that he is ironclad with Zhang Yimou, or that Zhang Yimou will definitely not leave him, so he began to point out the country, like the godfather of the Chinese film industry!

He doesn't look down on Huayi, he doesn't look down on Feng Xiaogang, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and "Night Banquet" are all leftovers of Zhang Yimou's play!

Who knew that Feng Xiaogang actually rose last year, and "Assembly Number" directly rolled down the box office of 250 million, and directly took "Casting Names" down.

In addition, Zhang Yimou has been busy with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the past two years, and no works have come out, Zhang Weiping is a little anxious.

Therefore, when a reporter asked him what he thought of Huayi's investment in "Embroidered Spring Knife", he casually asked who the director was, and learned that Xu Hui was actually a member of Korean idols, and he said at that time: "Huayi's current vision is really speechless, if Xu Hui can make a good movie, sows can go up trees!"

On the same day, this sentence spread on the Internet, and some idle netizens carried forward this sentence.

"If Xu Hui doesn't grass powder one day, sows can go up the tree!"

"If Xu Hui can become popular again, sows can go up the tree!"

Damn, did the sow mess with you?

"As soon as he is a producer, what can he say? Can he represent the masses? Funny, so many experienced actors and behind-the-scenes personnel in our crew feel that this work is quite good, 'practice is the only criterion for testing the truth', Zhang Weiping is not a god, he doesn't understand me at all, why is he right?"

Xu Hui's expression was very excited, as if he felt that he had been insulted.

"The work you want to shoot is 'Embroidered Spring Knife'? Why is it called that? Is it about a weapon?"

"No, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is Jinyiwei's matching knife, Jinyiwei's two major features, embroidered spring knife, flying fish suit, this is going to trouble you to publicize a lot, after all, there are many people who don't know what our story is about..."

This really needs a lot of publicity, after all, few people know about this thing.

“… Why do you want to shoot a story like this?"

"I'm mainly interested, I've watched HK action movies since I was a child, and I've always thought it was cool, in 03, I wanted to take the directing department, but I didn't get my wish, but this story about Jin Yiwei has taken shape..."

"Can you give us an overview of the plot?"

"The plot is actually quite simple, that is, the three brothers of Jinyiwei were assigned to hunt down Wei Zhongxian, and then a series of things happened..."

After talking to reporters for a while, I finally talked about the box office prediction of the movie.

"I heard that you yourself are also an investor in this movie, have you thought about the risks?"

Xu Hui paused slightly: "I also thought about it, but the situation at that time was that I couldn't shoot it, and I fell into the level of a lot of magic obstacles." ”

"And to be honest, I have confidence in this movie, whether a movie is good or not, the story is very important, the market and the audience still expect a good story, we have a good story, and at the same time we also have a group of good actors, Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing are all partners who accompany us through the youth, shouldn't we go to the cinema to support it? So I don't think this movie can fail. ”

"And what is your box office prediction for this movie?"

Xu Hui thought for a while: "The investment in this drama so far is 30 million, if you want to recover the cost, the box office needs at least 90 million, plus the appeal of a few of us, I estimate that it can be 150 million!"

“… Are you sure, 150 million?"

The reporter in charge of the interview was a little excited.

This is the best front-page headline - the rookie director is not ashamed to say that the movie may be a box office hit!

Xu Hui nodded very calmly: "At least 150 million, if it doesn't reach this box office, it will be a dereliction of duty on my part as a director!"

At this time, of course, you have to be a little more high-profile.

When the film was promoted in later generations, the director and actor said 500 million or 1 billion at every turn.

Even if you know that you have made a bad movie, such as "Sky Hunting", you will play the slogan, 'Surpass Wolf Warrior 2!'!

God knows where they got their faith!

But as a director and creator, you are not confident enough, how can the audience have confidence in your film?

After an interview, the reporters were very satisfied, they got a lot of news points, whether it was Xu Hui's scolding of Zhang Weiping, or predicting the box office, it could become the headline on the front page;

Xu Hui is also quite satisfied, with exposure, there is publicity!

With publicity, there can be a box office!

……

The afternoon shooting turned to action scenes, the literary and drama parts were almost filmed, and most of the rest were shots with Li Bingbing present.

"Director, is there anything you don't like about the action design?"

Li Zhongzhi saw Xu Hui frowning and looking at the stand-ins of several martial artists who were trying out, and hurriedly walked over and asked.

"It's a little bit!"

Xu Hui looked up at Li Zhongzhi: "I always feel that our order is a bit confusing, the general fight monster upgrade, the difficulty of the fight and the explosion point should be higher and higher! ”

"And then?"

Li Zhongzhi became interested.

"Then when the three brothers kill Wei Zhongxian, we have to raise the level of gorgeousness a little more! We can set that opponent a little weaker!"

"A little more gorgeous, you mean the effect is more sufficient?"

"Almost, also, there are two climactic scenes in the whole movie, the first one is of course the fight scene of Yan Fu, we have to shoot this one more intensely!"

"Of course, the most intense and sensational fight scenes must stay on the grassland!"

After listening to Xu Hui's words, Li Zhongzhi probably thought about it: "If you follow what you say, the action design will have to be changed..."

"It's okay, we have time!"

"The son of the Yan family of the Yan Mansion can't just cut off his hand..."

Xu Hui nodded and said: "Break your hand and be picked off and break your hamstrings!

"This... Give me some time, you guys can shoot other scenes first!"

As he spoke, Li Zhongzhi called a few martial arts brothers to discuss how to design to meet Xu Hui's requirements.

At the same time, Xu Hui called for the costume, and Ding Xiu had to play!

There is no way, the action scene has to be redesigned, and it can only shoot Ding Xiu's scenes.

As for the styling design, Xu Hui refers to Zhou Yiwei in the original time and space, anyway, he has good looks and can control any hairstyle!

"Brother Jing, Brother Chao, you two are in charge..."

Xu Hui regretted a little after saying this, the two of them laughed so obscenely, they must have been thinking about how to suppress themselves, and hurriedly added: "No personal vendetta is allowed!"

"Hurry up, don't ink, Xiaoyu has been waiting for a long time!"
