Chapter 11: Daily Life (11)
signed three actors at one time
It is impossible to treat everyone equally.
The actor echelon of Huiwen World is completely in accordance with Huayi's cast, and it also pursues the strategy of one brother and one sister.
Now the first sister is Zhao Liying, but what about after that?
There must be one of these three that Xu Hui particularly values!
Five fingers are not generally long, a bowl of water is flat, how is it possible!
"The routes of these three people are different, hot it, I'm going to let her take the movie route, unless there is a particularly good TV drama script, those two, the TV series route is the main..."
"So, you're more optimistic about Di Lire, right?"
Movies are still not the same as TV series, the former is always a little more noble than the latter.
"I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, let's throw them into the cinema for two years first!"
Xu Hui spat out the smoke ring, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Then when are you going to start filming this "Sunshine Sisters"?"
Chen Farong changed the topic very wittily.
"Wait another week at most, the preliminary preparations have been completed!"
"Chen Jingshen is doing well, right?"
"It's not bad!"
The preparatory work for "Sunshine Sisters" was all handed over to Chen Jingshen, who also worked very hard, and in two months, the preliminary preparations were completed very well.
"And when is this movie going to be released?"
“… National Day, I should also compete for the National Day file!"
"National Day?"
Chen Farong frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
""Rain of Swords" seems to be set for the National Day!"
“… Hold it off a little bit, but it's going to be released before November. ”
It's a little embarrassing, the company filmed a lot of works last year and this year, and this year alone, there are "Old Boy", "Huang Feihong", "Sword Rain", "Left Ear" plus "Sunshine Sister Tao", five movies!
The release time must be adjusted well, and you can't beat your own people.
……
In mid-March, the craze for "Avatar" finally subsided, but unfortunately, the movies still being released in theaters are getting worse than the other!
probably felt that "Avatar" was finally gone, and it was our turn to show off the power of these bad movies, so a bunch of bad movies rushed into the theaters.
"Little Emperor of Basketball", "In the Name of Water", "**Trap", just look at the name and know that this thing must have been filmed for the purpose of being able to be released.
This kind of movie can't be compared with "Avatar", and it doesn't even reach the average level of domestic movies!
originally had the purpose of entering the theater to grab a wave of money, but as a result, let alone robbing money, no one paid attention to these movies at all.
It's embarrassing, generally speaking, there must be at least one movie in the same schedule that is worthy of the audience's scolding, but it's a pity that the first half of March of 10 years is so weird.
The audience seems to have completely forgotten that there is such a thing as Chinese movies!
Although "Avatar" was released, its impact still continues in the sky over Chinese films...
On March 19th, the company saw the opportunity, and "Old Boy" was released!
Not only does Huiwen have a vision in the world, but Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jing also entered the March file with their new works.
"Koshihikari Treasure Box", "Future Police" and "Old Boy" three movies, PK at the same time!
Xu Hui promoted various things on Weibo as usual, and deliberately reprinted the title song of the same name of "Old Boy", and left a special paragraph: 'Dreams, like classics, will never fade because of time, but are more precious!'
In other words, Weibo has become the main position for celebrities to show their daily lives and engage in publicity.
Pao Hui's Weibo has 8 million followers, ranking among the top three of all celebrities, after all, this idea of smartphones has not yet been fully popularized, and Xu Hui's fans do not play too many Weibo.
is enough, just this literary and artistic word is attractive enough, "Old Boy" is also a good song, and the popularity of Huang Bo and Xu Zheng is not low.
On the day of the premiere, "Old Boy" achieved a box office result of 9.8 million, losing to the 14 million of "Koshihikari Treasure Box", and "Future Police" ranked third, with only 8 million box office results.
On March 20th and 21st, "Old Boy" won a box office score of 12 million and 14 million, and directly counterattacked to the top!
Thirty-five million in the opening weekend is not too much, but compared to the investment of less than 15 million, "Oldboy" has already paid for itself!
The surprise is still to come, on Monday, March 22, a weekday, the box office of "Old Boy" is still 13 million!
Anyone who has studied box office performance knows that, as a rule, the weekend box office is several notches higher than the weekday box office, unless it's a movie with a very good reputation!
was about suffocated by the domestic movies during this time, and it was easy for a movie with a relatively complete plot and performance to appear, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie was stimulated again.
The next week, the box office of "Old Boy" reached 120 million in a single week, and the cumulative box office was 150 million!
It's clear that this is another box office success!
After research, someone found that the screenwriter of "Old Boy" was actually Xu Hui, including the songwriter of that song, who wrote Xu Hui's name...
In the third week of release, the distributor released the easter egg part, that is, the clip of Xu Hui singing "Old Boy"...
Don't underestimate such a small easter egg of less than ten minutes, the box office of "Old Boy" broke out again in a single week, winning a box office score of nearly 110 million, and the cumulative box office reached 260 million.
Obviously, this is a work that is about to break 300 million at the box office.
Huiwen has made a lot of money in the world!
Yang Qing, a new generation of directors born in the 80s, stepped on Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jing to quickly become a new generation of directors...
……
"Tsk..."
"Don't look at me like that, if you have something to say!"
Xu Hui glared at Huang Wen, who was spreading out a newspaper, and the headline on the front page was 'The box office of "Old Boy" is about to break 300 million, and the main creators thank Xu Hui one after another. ’
"I really can't imagine that this Yang Qing you are looking for is quite capable!"
Probably thinking that the level of the advertorial writer found by the company was too poor, Huang Wen closed the newspaper and chatted with Xu Hui about Yang Qing.
"Definitely, if he didn't have any skills, I wouldn't have found him. ”
"Two days ago, he proposed a project called "Hot Pot Hero" to the company, do you know this project?"
"I know, Chen Kun is still what I have been persuading him with!"
"Okay, then I'll agree to the project right away. ”
Huang Wen nodded to indicate that he understood.
"By the way, did you submit "Once Upon a Time" to the organizers of Cannes?"
“… It's been submitted, but don't get your hopes up, Cannes is still biased towards literary films. ”
"I know, but I still think it should be screened at the opening ceremony!"
"The opening ceremony?"
Huang Wen thought about it, dialed the phone number of the public relations department, explained Xu Hui's request just now, and five minutes later, hung up the phone: "No play..."
"How?"
"The opening film at Cannes this year is Ridley Scott's Robin Hood!"
“… Alright!"
Ridley Scott, as one of the four major Hollywood directors in the 80s, although "Heavenly Dynasty" lost nearly 100 million US dollars, his reputation and status are there, and it is already a matter of pride that Cannes can invite him to participate.
"Robin Hood" is suitable for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.
Xu Hui wants to cut off his beard, the possibility is zero...
