Chapter 69: Recruiting Old Friends

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the second masterpiece of the "Dragon Gate" series!

New director, new lineup, the company has only one requirement for this movie: 'Don't seek merit, but seek no fault!', in layman's terms, the reputation is passable, and the box office can return to its original cost...

Xu Hui has watched the basic rough cut content, and the snail is the true biography of Pao Hui, and the editing is sharp!

By the way, in order to ensure the effect of fast editing, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" did not use 3D mode to shoot, but was shot with an IMAX camera to ensure the brightness and coordination of the plot - the original version of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" because Xu Lao Wei loved Li Lianjie too much, so that the story focused on him, and the snail did not favor King Kaikai so much, this version of the story focused on Chen Kun's Yuhuatian!

Not only that, several screenwriters interspersed a plot of about three minutes in the middle to depict the poor life of the people of the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Xichang, and of course, the most important description of the relationship between Zhao Huaian and Ling Yanqiu...

The reason why "New Dragon Gate Inn" is so classic is that in addition to martial arts, the most important thing is the friendship between the rivers and lakes!

When it comes to "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", the iron cable crosses the river, the desert lonely smoke, and the middle stream hits the water, the elements that should be there are not bad, but unfortunately, the most important friendship line is missing!

The old monster also felt that Brother Xun and Fan Xiaoxuan's CP felt better, and directly abandoned Li Lianjie, who had been a friend for many years...

The revised script can score 8 points!

Of course, Xu Hui doesn't dare to talk about the box office now...

I always feel that I went to North America, and my sense of smell of the market disappeared!

"Set for June 8th? Mr. Xu, should we change the schedule?"

“… Why?"

"I took a look, and on the 8th there was "Madagascar 3"... And then there's The Hunger Games, it's all..."

"On June 28th, "Painted Skin 2" will be released, in July, there will be "Search", "Four Famous Catches", in August, "Once Upon a Time" will be released, and in September, "Spider-Man" and "Batman"..."

"That's it, Lao Xia, are you scared?"

Xu Hui also felt that it was not suitable, but there was no way to do it, he introduced more than 50 imported films at once, and three or four imported films were released every month...

And relatively speaking, the audience of "Madagascar" is too far away from "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and the degree of overlap is not high, as for "The Hunger Games", the popularity of the eldest cousin in China has not yet opened, and the IP power of "The Hunger Games" has not been exerted in China.

In fact, July is a good schedule, "Search", "Four Famous Catches" two weak chickens, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is still not a problem, or that sentence, the Film Bureau is not very willing to see domestic film infighting!

“… Lu Yang, come on!"

At the end of the meeting, Xu Hui and Lu Yang left the company.

……

A sheep scorpion near the company, a private room.

Xu Hui and Lu Yang chatted while waiting for the mutton to be fully cooked.

"The difference between a producer and a director is that the director works with the right brain, emotionally, while the producer mostly works with the left brain, and how much does it cost to shoot the whole budget from this scene, and you have to consider whether there can be a suitable actor in the whole market. ”

"When I make a movie, the left brain and the right brain will work together, so while ensuring the quality, I will definitely add some commercial elements, such as the emotional line in "Huang Feihong", including the dialogue between Huang Feihong and Liang Kuan, there must be jokes..."

Lu Yang has a different opinion: "However, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is different, it only tells the stories and feelings of small people, it tells about what people should do in the face of suffering..."

"Like 'The Shaw Redemption'?"

"Yes!"

“… But the box office of "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" is only 28 million!"

“… I really can't argue with that!"

Lu Yang was a little angry, "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" is his favorite movie, in his opinion, talking about the box office is too vulgar!

"But the reality is like this, if your movie can't sell at the box office, no one will ask you to make a movie!"

Xu Hui spread his hand, took a chopstick mutton by the way, tasted it, and the taste was very good: "... Eat it, it tastes good!"

“… I can't figure it out, you said that the tone of your "Embroidered Spring Knife" is similar to that of my shooting, and it is about the little people who are struggling and resisting at the bottom of the system, and I think your story is more cruel, the three brothers died... Why?"

"Because it's me!"

Xu Hui replied very casually, and by the way, he dialed the phone and asked where Ning Hao and the snail were...

Invisible pretending, the most deadly!

Lu Yang was choked and speechless...

Damn, you're awesome, but you don't pretend to be so aggressive, right?

What do you mean because the director is you?

“… When I started filming "Embroidered Spring Knife", I had tens of millions of fans, which is my confidence and the reason why I dare to make movies!"

As if realizing that he had hit the other party a little, Xu Hui explained.

"Fan economy?"

"You can understand it as box office appeal!"

“… Then you say, if I had found an actress with a larger fan base to play the role of Hokusai, for example... Liu Feifei, will the effect be better?"

Lu Yang had an epiphany quickly, and immediately understood the meaning of Xu Hui's words.

Sure enough, it was Lu Yang who deeply understood the role of traffic flowers in improving the popularity of works!

In the original time and space, the first part found Liu Sisi, and the second part found the who...

“… I can't say for sure..."

The effect of traffic Xiaohua on the movie is equivalent to a double-edged sword, the most popular ones, there are more fans, and there are more black fans, especially the one who is, when "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" was released, she was ridiculed by the whole network, and a slightly more objective film review appeared, and she was immediately branded as a 'water army' and 'brain * powder'!

"I've got to research..."

Lu Yang muttered to himself, as if he had found a broad road...

"No, the buns are also very popular, I think the main reason is that the schedule is not suitable..."

Xu Hui was about to persuade a few words, when there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open.

Ning Hao and the snail walked in: "Director Xu, Lu Dao..."

“… Look, sit down!"

"Has "No Man's Land" been reviewed?

"Don't mention it, I sent it for trial last month, and they didn't say if they could pass it, it's stuck there!"

Ning Hao didn't raise his head, picked up a large piece of mutton with a big spoon, replied casually, opened his mouth and bit it...

“… Are you so calm?"

"No, I revised it according to the requirements, the ending is very bright, I found Yu Nan and Xiao Taohong to make up for a scene... I've done everything I need to do, no, if I change it, what else can I do?"

Ning Hao looked up and asked rhetorically, full of doubts.
