Chapter 19: Liu Feifei
In the original time and space, "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released, and it directly brushed down the box office score of 520 million!
Shocked the industry!
If it weren't for the 13-year-old domestic movies that were too good, "To Youth" and "Little Times", it is estimated that "North West" would become a phenomenon.
It's a pity that there are far fewer filmmakers who study "North West" than "To Youth"!
After all, youth films are easy to succeed as long as they collect the three treasures - abortion, car accidents, and difficulty in getting old...
The success of "Beijing Meets Seattle" is very meaningful for Chinese films: don't shake your wit, don't play poor, let the characters talk about people and do things, do stories seriously, do structure seriously, and do bridges seriously. Because it relies on the accuracy of the film's language and rhythm, it reflects the awakening and progress of the Chinese romantic comedy genre.
Xue Xiaolu really deserves to be a screenwriter, "As long as we live in each other's hearts, death is not separation" The end of the world is reduced to two hearts, and the right people will always meet.
!
Xu Hui didn't watch this version of "North West", but if he thinks that Xue Xiaolu can choose Liu Feifei, it will definitely not be bad...
Xu Hui probably said his basis: "I read the script, and the feelings are gradual, so a story feels very smooth and complete after reading it, and it is rare that there is no kiss in the love scene also has a strong romantic atmosphere, it is recommended that everyone go to the cinema to watch the movie, and you can also feel the progress of domestic romance films!"
"Director Xu, what are you holding in your hand?"
"Oh, it's the script of a new movie, there are a few emotional scenes that need to be polished by Director Xue Xiaolu, I'm not very good at screenwriting love scenes..."
Xu Hui smiled and raised the script of "Beautiful Life".
“… Is that the comedy you're talking about?"
The reporter's eyes lit up.
It has long been rumored that Xu Hui is going to make a comedy...
“… Yes, domestic comedy!"
Is Life Beautiful a comedy?
Forget it, don't bother to explain so much!
"Can you tell us what kind of story it is?"
“… You guys are a little too much, promoting "North West", why are you holding me..."
……
Xu Hui's movies have an unspoken rule that the outside world hates, he rarely uses actors who are not under Huiwen World, especially after "Huang Feihong", most of the protagonists and supporting roles in his movies are artists under his own banner!
In fact, this is understandable, the circle is doing this, including Huayi, Glossy, why should good resources and good roles be given to others, of course, it is important to consider their own artists!
It's not about people or people, and it's rare to do this...
If it weren't for the fact that the number of Huiwen's actors is really small, it is estimated that it would have become a TVB in the mainland long ago...
Liu Feifei has not starred in Xu Hui's movies!
In fact, in the harem group, except for Ya Yi and Si Si Zheng'er, who have played Xu Hui's female number one, the others have never really served as 'Hui Girl'
After the interviewed reporter left, Xu Hui probably told Xue Xiaolu about his idea and the joke that she asked her to help polish.
Xue Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and her years of experience as a screenwriter let her know that this would be a classic movie!
“… Confessional lines should be both exaggerated and true..."
The story of the Oriental style determines that the lines can't be too straightforward'"You can't imagine, how much I want to have sex with you, not only once, but also after doing it", "I want to do it now, for a lifetime." ”’
Such lines will not work.
"Why don't you let Ellie take the initiative to confess Jodo?"
“… Because the theme of the story is Jodo, if you let Ellie confess..."
"Wouldn't it be more romantic?"
“… Okay, you help polish it, I'll smoke a cigarette first!"
After thinking for a while, Xu Hui nodded.
The biggest difference between Chinese men and Italian men is that we have a loyal and honest part, and there is no overly enthusiastic and pompous part like Quedo...
Liu Feifei followed: "I want to act in this movie!"
"Ahem..."
Xu Hui was startled, and the cigarette directly stuck in his throat.
“… Why, you think I can't do it?"
Liu Feifei's face turned a little red, and she felt that she was being slighted...
Sister, can we stop joking?
"Female No. 1, I've already found Qinhai Road..."
“… But I know Japanese, and..."
"The male number one in this movie is Wang Qianyuan, you have a bad CP sense with him, and you will make the audience play!"
"I can put on makeup..."
You are full of fairy spirit, the best vase that is rare in a century, don't challenge those characters with depth anymore, okay?
"Beacon Fangfei" was a miserable one, and it almost didn't reach the box office of 20 million...
Of course, the main blame master misses, Billy August is used to making feature films, two or three hours at every turn, "Beacon Fangfei" is only one and a half hours, the master can't play it well, the character building, emotional foreshadowing is very hurried, plus it is the story of a Chinese woman and an American soldier...
It's no wonder that such a story idea can produce results!
"Wait... No, isn't your career concentrated in North America?"
"It's so hard for Asian-American actors to open up in Hollywood!"
Liu Feifei was a little emotional...
Xu Hui nodded thoughtfully.
……
For a movie like "Beautiful Life", Xu Hui is ready to make it a masterpiece of his career, and he will never allow any link to fall off the chain.
Liu Feifei's acting skills...
Although they didn't get the role, it didn't prevent the two from communicating normally.
That night, the cannon glow was like earth.
The young lady is so tempting, and the cannon shines all over the world!
Let her deeply experience a handful of fatherly love like a mountain!
(It's been too long since I've written such a paragraph, alas, I'm weak...) )
“… Are you really optimistic about "Beijing Meets Seattle"?"
After a hearty meal, Liu Feifei lay on Xu Hui's chest and asked while lighting a cigarette for him.
"You've also acted in movies for so many years, is it possible for your work to be a big hit, and you don't know the bottom of your heart?"
“… I'm not a producer, I'm an actor, why do I care about that?"
“… You still have to care about it, and take less bad movies..."
Cannon Hui glanced at the C-class boss who was pressing on him.
“… You said it lightly, how can those of us who are actors have the talent to recognize at a glance whether it is a bad movie or not!"
“… You leave the group..."
"What?"
"It's okay, I just think your brokerage team is too weak!"
"It's not weak, they helped me take over a "White Ghost Legend: Desperate Escape", starring Nicolas Cage, I never thought I could act with Uncle Cage!"
Liu Feifei suddenly stood up excitedly.
Nicolas Cage, Oscar-winning actor!
Of course, in Xu Hui's view, Comrade Cage is an old friend of the Chinese people, the king of bad movies!
As for "The Legend of the White Ghost: Desperate Escape", "Watching a group of ancient Chinese people in the movie are also drunk. ’
A movie with no lower limit, I really don't know what Liu Feifei's agency team thinks!
“… Don't you know Jiang Zhiqiang, I heard that he is investing in a very big movie, what is it called "Monster Hunt", you can consider going all out to fight for that film, if he thinks it can't work, you can say that you can also participate in the investment, as for "The Legend of the White Ghost: Desperate Escape", it's a bad movie when you hear it..."
"Boss Jiang?"
Liu Feifei thought for a moment, "But, Nicolas Cage..."
"Who's the director?"
"What?"
Liu Feifei didn't quite understand what Pao Hui was talking about.
"Who is the director of the "White Ghost Legend: Desperate Escape" that you are talking about?"
“… I don't know, it should be American, this is a co-production!"
“… Sister, listen to my advice, don't take on any co-productions in the future, there is no future, they are all bad movies!"
