Chapter 148: First Weekend Box Office
Leonardo da Vinci once said, "The eye is the window to the soul." ”
It means that the eyes can express thoughts and feelings, and even subtle feelings that are difficult to express in words can be expressed with the eyes.
Many people commented on Liang Chaowei, saying that his eyes would discharge.
The great director Alfred Hitchcock liked to express his fear with his eyes, and his films always have close-ups of the pupils of the eyes.
People also often say in life that so-and-so's eyes can speak.
It can be seen how important a pair of bright and expressive eyes are to actors. As the creator of the character image, the actor is more able to use his own eyes than ordinary people, and it is also the first lesson in the art of touching.
Wan Qian's smile just now directly made Xu Hui feel numb and crispy.
He knew it was an actor who could talk with his eyes!
In other words, so far, except for "The Wind", he has basically not worked with actresses with particularly good acting skills.
I've almost forgotten what it's like to work with good actors...
“… Go back and ask your agent to contact our company and vacate next year's schedule!"
After Wan Qian sat down again, Xu Hui was silent for a while and spoke.
Wan Qian was originally a little nervous.
In the end, she still didn't know Xu Hui, and originally thought that even if she passed this audition, there would be a second or third audition, after all, such an important role would continue to seek the opinions of producers and investors.
“… Ah, that's it?"
"Actually, Lei Jiayin recommended you, I think you are quite suitable, this meeting is just to make sure. ”
"Director Xu, do you know me?"
Wan Qian looked at Xu Hui in disbelief.
"Of course I know you, in fact, you have acting skills and a good image, I know a lot about actors. ”
Xu Hui roughly explained, looked at the time, it was almost 1 o'clock: "That's it, you go back and prepare well, join the group in March next year, we may have to go to the desert to shoot, it's very hard, be mentally prepared! Also, don't dress like this for auditions in the future... So cool!"
After speaking, he glanced at the hot bar who was bowing his head and drinking milk: "Fat flute, let's go!"
"Ahh Okay, goodbye, senior sister!"
The hot bar just finished sucking the milk in the cup and followed Xu Hui out of the coffee house.
The two left, Wan Qian sat motionless in her position for a long time, with a relieved smile on her face: "Sure enough, the idea of a big director is not something that a young actor like me can guess!"
Immediately, she dialed her agent's number.
"How can you be so fast? You're eliminated?"
The agent's voice was a little nervous.
“… People didn't take a fancy to me at all, so I dressed up carefully!"
Wan Qian deliberately replied in a very vague tone.
"Why are you so useless! You can't even be a man! What should I do now? In this way, I'll call Director Wu Qi immediately and ask him to hand over the project of "Liu Ruyi" to you again? It's really not good, let's go pick up that idol drama..."
You can't just empty the bamboo basket!
At the same time, she complained a little in her heart about her own artist, how could she even make it fly with fat up to her mouth?
“…”
Wan Qian suddenly didn't want to speak, and suddenly felt ridiculous.
I looked down at my legs, they were very long, straight, and white, and I originally wanted to be a big director in pajamas, but I took over and only stared at my eyes the whole time...
It seems that it is really time to change companies, and the agent who is too shallow in his eyesight can't keep up with her at all!
……
The latest issue of Time magazine was released.
The cover photo of the magazine is Xu Hui, a close-up of the front.
Xu Hui is sitting in the office, and behind him is the poster of "Huang Feihong"...
There are many fans of Xu Hui all over China, and soon someone discovered this new magazine.
In the past 10 years, there have been a lot of cents in China, and the public has often hyped up the 'freedom, democracy, and equality' of the United States on Weibo, which has led to the fact that many Chinese people subconsciously think that the United States is very good, and the United States is the safest and happiest country in the world...
Even, the status of "Time" is also very high, Xu Hui appeared on the cover of "Time Magazine", although he has already said it on Weibo, but many people don't play Weibo at all...
"I'll go! This isn't Xu Hui, he really appeared in Time Magazine."
"If you can make "Once Upon a Time" with $300 million in the world, you can also appear in "Time"
Standing next to him was his friend, who reached out and took down the magazine: "Boss, have a copy!"
After paying, the two left the bookstore.
"I heard that the Hundred Flowers Award invited him, but he didn't go!"
"Nonsense, there is not even a nomination, if it is you, will you go?"
The two chatted while walking, opened the magazine and carefully looked at the clip of the interview with Xu Hui.
"I'm not a world citizen, I don't want to be a world citizen, my movies are first made for Chinese..."
"I don't think Hollywood has any advantages, now the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and if Hollywood wants to enter the Chinese market, it has to follow our rules..."
"I can't change my original intention of making a movie in order to win an award, I still think human nature is beautiful..."
James did not omit a single thing, and published the content of the conversation between the two in "Time Magazine".
Most of them are Xu Hui's views on his own films, the genre of cinema, including his own future path.
It's very novel, few Chinese directors have said so openly these days, "There is a difference between award-winning films and films close to the audience" and "the biggest advantage of Chinese films is the market".
In particular, the domineering sentence 'The Chinese film market has become bigger and bigger, and if Hollywood movies want to enter China, they have to follow our rules!'
How to put it, it makes people feel very comfortable!
“… Cloud, have you gone to see "Sunshine Sisters"?"
"Not yet, now?"
"Okay, also, as long as Xu Hui's movies are listed in the future, you have to notify me!"
"Hmm!"
Sometimes, a director can impress a person, and a simple interview can do it!
Obviously, this interview has made Xu Hui a lot of die-hard fans...
Reading between the lines reveals Xu Hui's confidence in Chinese films, or in other words, his confidence in China!
Many times, we viewers don't dislike Chinese movies, nor do we dislike Chinese directors, it's just...
……
On the evening of the 17th, at 12 o'clock.
Xu Hui led the crew of "Sunshine Sisters", who were already extremely tired, to leave Hangzhou and go to Lin'an by car.
The audience was too enthusiastic, and Xu Hui couldn't refuse to take a group photo with all kinds of requests, after all, it was his hometown, and it was delayed for more than an hour!
“… What's the box office?"
Although he is tired and doesn't want to talk anymore, he is still very concerned about the market performance of his films.
"I'll take a look!"
Chen Farong opened her eyes, took out her mobile phone, opened Weibo, and after a while, she looked at Xu Hui in a little surprise and said, "160 million!"
“… 160 million? Did you read that right?"
Xu Hui directly snatched her mobile phone, and the record post of Huiwen Tianxia clearly read, 'On October 17, the box office of "Sunshine Sisters Tao" was 60 million!'
In the first weekend, 160 million, setting a record in domestic film history!
