Chapter 141: Life is Life, Movies Are Movies!
When "Lao Paoer" was released, some viewers said why didn't Chen Baoguo play the sixth master?
"Mansion Gate" Bai Qiye, after the famous family, Beijing flavor yuppies, also fought and brawled, Confucian, and twisted ruthlessly, Beijing flavor old guns, stepping into the beginning of the old Beijing ancestors have a trace of old Beijing ancestors.
However, he is soft, and it is not suitable to play a street gangster like the sixth master!
Some people also say that Jiang Wen is quite suitable, uh, Jiang Wen, Beijing dialect, compound, fighting, he can control all of these, and playing the sixth master well can be said to be in his hands. However, the figure is too burly, imagine the scene of running forward with a Japanese knife at the end, the audience's psychology should be worried about Xiaofei.
Some people also say that Wang Zhiwen is very good, yes, Wang Zhiwen is indeed not bad, but Lao Wang has not proved his market appeal in recent years.
When investing in a drama, you always have to consider returning to your capital, right?
Feng Xiaogang is definitely the most suitable candidate!
Here's the problem, Feng Xiaogang is not a professional actor!
Those present, Chen Daoming and Uncle Ge are pure actors.
“… I can't, it's okay to make a cameo..."
Feng Xiaogang subconsciously refused.
Xu Hui also followed and persuaded: "No, my character is written according to you, and there is a line in it 'I want to smoke you', that is, you scolded the reporter, I thought of it!"
"Xiaogang's acting skills are very good," Wang Shuo said: ""I Am Your Dad" is very good!"
"I Am Your Dad" is a good movie, with a Douban score of 7.9 points, in fact, it can be adjusted to more than 9 points, but unfortunately, Wang Shuo's writing is not bad, and when he directs the play, it is much worse, and the editing is too messy!
This film was judged Best Film at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland in 2000.
Jiang Wen said that Feng Xiaogang is not a proper actor and a director...
……
"Let's not talk about the sixth master, let's talk about the talking box, who is more appropriate?"
"How is Xu Jingjing?"
"Too young, huh?"
“… What about Liu Pei?"
"Liu Pei is good, but I feel a little unable to hold up..."
"Xu Hui, have you ever thought about finding anyone?"
"I don't have a specific substitute for a certain actor for this..."
Xu Hui did not join the discussion.
The most disgusting thing is to talk to people about works at the dinner table, in his previous life, Xu Hui often had to participate in this kind of bureau.
No way, the survival of the little people!
There is a saying in the entertainment industry: If you look awkward and have a lot of characters after the play, you must be a relative of the investor.
Commonly known as bringing capital into the group!
When he was in the original time and space, Xu Hui was a small director, and he had no right to speak, so he naturally had to experience pressure in this regard.
This kind of thing is very common, and even "Di Renjie" is also crammed into Da Tiantian!
Therefore, to relive a lifetime, Xu Huiding's role is generally his own decision.
"Xiaobo and Xiaofei, these two children have to choose a younger one, and they have to be popular!"
"Well, I'll talk to Zhonglei..."
……
Several people were still discussing "Lao Pao'er", and Zheng Xiaolong took the initiative to chat with Xu Hui.
It was natural to talk about "Cinema Paradiso", which is currently being released.
"If you are domestic, I will be very satisfied if I can pass 300 million, after all, it is a foreign language film, and the things it tells are far from the audience!"
Xu Hui scooped a spoonful of duck soup, took a sip, and then replied.
“… It's still a little less, 300 million box office... How much is your investment?"
"$35 million, Mr. Zheng, can't be counted like that. When it comes to the box office, Xu Hui's face is a lot more serious: ""Paradise Cinema" is mainly facing the domestic market in the United States, and in North America alone, we expect to get a box office of about 80 million US dollars, which can almost return to the cost, and the domestic box office is a net profit!"
"And the market conditions at this stage are too immature, slowly cultivate, and wait until this group of audiences matures..."
"Yes, the current audience does have a problem with their vision!"
Zheng Xiaolong sighed.
"In the long run, this is a good thing, the audience definitely doesn't want to be spicy by bad movies, the market is getting bigger and bigger now, too..."
Before Xu Hui finished speaking, Feng Xiaogang interjected: "Didn't you say that you wanted to make a comedy?"
"Right away," Xu Hui glanced at Feng Xiaogang: "The script is ready-made, the starring actors have been selected, and after the Oscars, I will start filming!"
"Oscar..."
"Xu Hui, how sure are you?"
“… In fact, it was also a mistake, at the beginning I went to Cannes, and I unintentionally inserted willows and willows, Cannes is not a show, but the United States is quite popular!"
It's the truth.
According to Xu Hui's original plan, he was not ready to expect "Cinema Paradiso" to win in the awards season.
Also, the union award will start soon, and Xu Hui has to fly back to the United States to prepare.
"If you win the Oscar, you'll be a great director!
“… What a great director, I am a filmmaker. Xu Hui waved his hand politely: "Comedy, of course we have to continue filming, my filming plan has been set." ”
"Comedy movies, especially urban comedies, are still quite interesting, and the current market is here, you see, the box office is so high every year, but more than one-third of them are comedy movies!"
Feng Xiaogang likes to talk about the box office very much, and when he talks about this, he seems to think of something: "Your company's "Charlotte Troubles" will be 1.5 billion soon, right? Good guy, directly squeezed my "Private Custom" out of the schedule!"
He said this with an unnatural look on his face.
The directors of "Charlotte" are two drama directors of Twist, who are not famous at all, even with the blessing of Huiwen, the average number of films scheduled in the first three days of release is less than 28%, and the number of films scheduled is not as good as "Private Custom"...
Of course, the number of films has skyrocketed since then, and the peak is 46% of the number of films...
It belongs to the typical word-of-mouth to win the market!
"I'll say something from the bottom of my heart, Director Feng, don't be angry..."Xu Hui looked at Feng Xiaogang seriously: "Happy Twist and those people are targeting young people in their twenties, and they just happen to be the mainstream movie-watching group, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" has no feelings and doesn't talk about politics, but it just captures the audience's laughter!"
"And what do you think of "Customary"?"
How about "Custom"?
From the director's point of view, Feng Xiaogang tested the bottom line of censorship's criticism of reality.
Later, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" satirized officialdom!
From this point of view, Feng Xiaogang, as a director, has unlimited credit.
He himself said: 'I have fulfilled the responsibility of a director to Chinese films, both in terms of creation and marketing...'
However, "Private Custom" is really bad, at least the story is not told smoothly!
There is no coherence at all in the three sketches...
To tell the truth, if the director of "Private Custom" is not Feng Xiaogang, it is estimated that the box office will not even be 200 million...
After thinking about it, Xu Hui gave a pertinent evaluation: "As an experimental work, "Private Custom" is commendable!"
Life is life, movies are movies!
