Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Telephone (22/62)

The reason why "Nightclub" is mentioned is not because Xu Hui regrets anything.

It's normal for good movies to not sell at the box office, "The Shawshank Redemption" was still a mess back then, close to 50 million US dollars in publicity and distribution costs, and the box office did not reach 25 million, until almost 20 years later, "The Shawshank Redemption" slowly recovered its cost through DVD leasing!

Even the No. 1 masterpiece in film history can't sell at its own price, what is "Nightclub" compared to it?

Besides, people can't sell movies to do Xu Hui's!

The production company of the movie is not Huiwen World.

Xu Hui fell in love with Yang Qing, to be precise, in favor of Yang Qing's directing ability.

"Night Club" is very typical, although it is not very good-looking, but the professional reputation of the film, including the feedback from fans, is passable.

In recent years, how many directors in China can make commercial films above the passing line?

Moreover, "Nightclub" is Yang Qing's first movie, and his second movie is called "Hot Pot Hero"

This young director is well suited to vigorous training.

Xu Hui talked about the idea of "Old Boy", Huang Wen felt that this was a very interesting movie, and immediately decided to contact Yang Qing - of course, the sooner the better!

On July 15, Pao Hui returned from Germany, in addition to preliminarily negotiating Mercedes-Benz's C-series endorsement, he also filled in the complete script of "Old Boy".

No matter how much "Old Boy" is changed, the main plot will not change.

Two people who have dreams of music have not been able to continue to follow the path of music, and when they reach middle age, they suddenly have their thoughts, and then continue to chase their dreams, and then cooperate with the song "Old Boy".

It's not too much chicken soup!

A lot of viewers just like this!

With a good story foundation and the director's good directing skills, Huiwen Tianxia has gradually matured the distribution channels, and it is foreseeable that the movie "Old Boy" released during the Chinese New Year will set off a frenzy of movie-watching.

That's right, when Xu Hui handed over the script to Yang Qing, he clearly told him that this movie only has a five-month production cycle, and it must catch up with the Chinese New Year!

Although Yang Qing was reluctant, he still agreed, stimulated by the 16 million production fund.

For a director like Yang Qing who has only directed a movie with a cost of 3 million at most, 16 million is enough for him to squander!

Of course, in order to limit this too much of the goods, Chen Farong personally went out and took on the position of producer, while Xu Hui was attached to the position of producer.

As for the actors, Xu Hui felt that Xu Guangtou and Huang Bo were good choices, and Yang Qing also agreed.

At this time, Huang Bo has not yet brushed the Golden Horse, and Xu Guangtou has not "Thai Embarrassment", and the combined salary of the two is only 3 million, compared with Huang Bo's 40 million worth of 40 million in later generations to record "Extreme Challenge", it is simply the price of cabbage!

As for the 'Happy Boy' in the original micro-movie, Xu Hui replaced it with 'The Voice of China', and several mentors were also willing to make cameo appearances.

The producer who got in the way, that is, the villain character who prevented the Kuaizi brothers from continuing to go down, Xu Hui found Ning Hao.

Audio-Technica is ready!

To be honest, if it weren't for Ning Hao's too expensive, Xu Hui would have wanted to package the project "Old Boy" to him...

……

After dealing with the related matters of "Old Boy", it is already July 18, and there are less than two days left before Xu Hui enters the group of "Huang Feihong".

The holidays go by too fast...

After lying in the hotel all day, emptying his mind, the next day, Xu Hui flew by plane to Foshan Nanhai Film and Television Base.

Knowing that Xu Hui's new movie will be filmed here, and the story of Huang Feihong, who is famous in Guangdong, is filmed, he immediately allocated 20 million yuan to support this movie!

When Xu Hui learned the news, he couldn't help but think of the sentence that Zhou Chaoxian said in "Black Gold", "Our ZF is very rich!"

For the "Huang Feihong" project, Xu Hui originally planned to be produced and released separately by Huiwen Tianxia, but Huang Wen reminded him.

You can't always eat alone like this, you will be hated by other companies!

As a result, the shadow and light also joined in.

There is no Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei jumped like thunder as usual, but unfortunately, he didn't dare to tear his face.

Xu Hui is no longer the little role he called around when "Red Cliff" premiered.

"Those Years" created a box office myth, although many people know that this thing is pure luck, but luck is also part of the strength, which shows that Xu Hui's audience is very good, besides, as long as you know a little bit about movies, you can see that Xu Hui is currently in the rising stage of director.

It is obviously a mentally retarded behavior to compete with a director who is on the rise and is likely to become a master of a generation of commercial films.

No matter how bad Wang Zhonglei's brain is, no matter how much he hates Xu Hui in his heart, it is impossible to show it directly.

What's more, Xu Hui is still a shareholder of Huayi...

The most accurate preparation time for "Once Upon a Time" is in April, and in April, the crew has already begun relevant preparatory work.

The leading actors Wu Jing and Wu Yue have already begun the most conventional training before the shooting of action movies.

If it was according to the original plan, the movie should have started in mid-June, but unfortunately, Xu Hui was busy making a movie and delayed the start time.

……

Before getting off the plane, Xu Hui received a phone call, which was from Liu Yifei.

Xu Hui was quite surprised, this was the first time she called him since November last year, and the contact between the two in the past was limited to text messages at most.

Later, the scandal between Xu Hui and Liu Sisi spread, Liu Yifei sent a text message to scold Xu Hui as his girlfriend, but Pao Hui did not reply directly...

The two haven't been in touch for more than half a year!

Although he didn't know what the fairy sister was looking for her, Xu Hui still connected.

"Xu Hui, are you in Yuezhou?"

“… How do you know?"

"I checked your itinerary, I'm in Xiamen now!"

“… What's the matter?"

"Mom asked me to go to a party in the evening, well, it's a drinking party here, I'm a little scared, can you come with me?"

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone had a hint of pleading.

Although the language is unknown, Xu Hui can probably still know why Liu Yifei is so afraid, all her confidence comes from the movie and the godfather, to be precise, the godfather's connections.

Chen Ganpa's may still be able to eat in the north, but this is the south.

Let Liu Yifei participate in the gathering of the second generation?

It's like sending a beauty into a pile of men, and this beauty is still very weak!

Liu Xiaoli is really bold, or in her opinion, these second-generation people will treat Liu Yifei like ordinary fans meet idols?

Oh my God, the time of the second generation is precious, and it will definitely not take more energy to sleep with the simplest means to sleep with the goddess!

The rich second generation is the most bottomless group of people, especially those in the south.

If something really happens, hehe...

“… Where is Xiamen? I'll see if I have time. ”

Xu Hui didn't really want to deal with her, he had his own itinerary.

"xx, eight o'clock in the evening..."

"Okay, I see, I'll call you later. ”
