Extra eight
Regarding the director's coffee position, the first thing that can be clearly said is that being able to win the Oscar for Best Director at least means that the director has been recognized by DAG.
DAG, that is, the Directors Guild of America, Xu Hui certainly belongs to this union, otherwise, "Cinema Paradiso" would not have received so many nominations...
Xu Hui won the Oscar for Best Director, for Lao Mei, it may just be one more talking point, and another Asian won the Best Director, it seems that Asians don't just know how to do accounting, and then continue to move...
By the way, let's talk about the statistics.
The ratings of the 86th Oscars in 2014 reached an average of 43 million, the best of the decade!
The highest ratings appeared when Xu Hui won the best director, and the instant ratings exceeded 46 million!
After all, it's a fresh face, and people are always curious about something new.
Of course, in the eyes of a bunch of producers, it's worth playing.
They all know that Xu Hui is good at commercial films, and now he has won an award for a feature film, what does this mean?
means that Xu Hui is a very comprehensive director.
There have been no less than ten projects that have approached him and wanted him to be the director, including many blockbusters!
However, Xu Hui didn't even bother to read the script, so he refused directly...
His roots have always been in China.
Of course, foreign language films will still be made, but blockbusters and the like should not be considered, after all, he is Chinese, unless it is a blockbuster belonging to himself, otherwise, his voice is very small...
In the eyes of the Chinese people, this is not ordinary!
Oscar yes!
Basically, anyone who knows a little bit about movies knows the Oscars, and they probably know what the Oscars mean.
Even if you don't care about movies, you probably know the weight of the Oscars.
Suddenly heard that Xu Hui won the Oscar for Best Director, how can you say this feeling?
It's as if you've never paid attention to sports, and suddenly you see Liu Shen breaking the world record, or Su Bingtian breaking the Asian record with a time of 6.42 seconds to win the silver medal.
Sometimes, so-called national pride trumps reason, and whether you like it or hate it, you will search for relevant topics and discuss them with others.
When Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director with "Broken Arm Mountain", didn't he immediately become the 'light of the Chinese'...
What's more, in this era, with the exposure of the entertainment industry, there are really very few people who don't know Xu Hui!
Yang Ma has decided to insert this news into "News Network"...
……
Successfully evolved from a director to a great director!
Xu Hui can be regarded as completing a transformation of his career with "Paradise Cinema"!
However, at this moment, he chose to keep a low profile.
It's really too ferocious some time ago, and the most attention to the awards season is, of course, North America, but the increase in attention across the ocean is undoubtedly a plus.
As a result, a bunch of press releases were stuffed into the major Internet media...
As a result, it has dominated the space for almost several months.
For now, let's keep a low profile.
Anyway, the honor is already in hand, it's not good to be too public!
And at the beginning of 2014, Huiwen has set a new record - "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" won a box office of 1.8 billion and became the champion of the Spring Festival stalls!
"Cinema Paradiso" has more than doubled the box office of the entire film after the awards season, and after the Oscars, the film has been screened again.
In fact, there were already only more than 400 movie theaters that chose to screen "Cinema Paradiso", and after the Oscars, theaters throughout North America immediately re-added screenings, the number of theaters reached 2,200, and the film scheduling rate also rose to 25%...
In three days, the local revenue in North America reached 12 million US dollars...
According to box office predictions, the most successful box office is likely to reach $150 million.
This is a dazzling achievement!
Not only that, the blessing of the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor has made "Paradise Cinema" appear in more than 100 film markets around the world, such as Europe, Latin America and the Far East.
As for the country, it will also be screened in the new museum, as a movie that has been in theaters for 40 days, the original cumulative box office has been 260 million, and after the additional screening, it must be not difficult to break 300 million!
Xu Hui and Huiwen underestimated the enthusiasm of the domestic audience.
On the second day of the re-screening, the single-day box office of "Paradise Cinema" directly received 30 million!
The next day, the momentum continued unabated, and another 32 million were added...
As of March 15, the cumulative box office of "Paradise Cinema" has reached 450 million, of which 190 million were won after the Oscars.
It can only be said that the lack of masterpieces in the film market in recent times "The Hobbit 2", "Robocop", "Derailed Era", "Don't Mess with Me", and "Sweet Killing" obviously can't meet the needs of the audience!
……
On the afternoon of the 16th, Xu Hui sat in the chairman's office of Huiwen Building and was interviewed by "People".
There are some things that should still be said, after all, he also needs a channel to show his attitude.
Recently, his fans and fans have gone crazy, boasting that he is already the number one director in China.
"Objectively evaluate whether Xu Hui has beaten all domestic directors?"
"Objectively evaluate the gap between Zhang Yimou and Xu Hui..."
Damn, although the title writes an objective evaluation, it is clear that it is pulling hatred!
It can only be said that fans have been holding back for too long, for five years, every time they want to show off Xu Hui, they will be lightly scorned, 'What qualifications do commercial films have to be compared with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige?'
Well, now Xu Hui has also won the Oscar.
You can compete for the long and short, right?
Fan behavior, idol pays.
Of course, Xu Hui won the Oscar, of course, he is the first person in China!
However, what Lao Mouzi and Brother Kai did back then was not worthy of praise?
forcibly compared, but Xu Hui was stunned to have a lot of black fans...
One more thing, the employees of Huiwen World are a little carried away...
A series of successes, box office, awards, there is a feeling that all the talents in the world are in my hands...
Born in sorrow and died in peace!
The interview with him was Zhang Jie, the ace editor of "People".
"Of course I'm very happy to win the Oscar, after all, I've been really busy for almost half a year, and the awards season in North America is really tiring! You see, it's been almost two weeks since I came back, and I haven't completely repaired it!"
Xu Hui sat upright in the chair, still with a trace of tiredness on his face...
As for the reason for the tiredness, in addition to the fatigue of some time ago, it is more due to the collective squeeze of the harem group.
There's no way, who asked him to only bring Yang Xiaohu to the Oscars, and deliberately said, 'This is my family'
The collective expressed dissatisfaction and strongly demanded that the seed must be kept and let it germinate!
“… What do you think is the main reason for winning the award? Many people say that PR is good?"
"Frankly speaking, our PR work is not particularly outstanding, and we only have less than $15 million invested in the entire awards season, which can only rank in the middle of all the title films, and the main reason for winning the award is that it hit the hearts of most of the judges. ”
$15 million is just the basic cost, and it doesn't include some transactions that are done privately, such as donations...
Zhang Jie then asked: "After winning the award, have you changed anything, for example, will you be more cautious in selecting works than before, or will you reduce the output?"
“… I don't think anything will change, my film project has always been three years old, let's say I'm going to start making a comedy movie soon..."
"Comedy movies?"
"Yes, it's called "Donkey Gets Water", the movie has been approved, and I should start filming the day after tomorrow..."
"I heard you've turned down several Hollywood projects?"
“… Yes, I have to state that I am a Chinese director, my roots have always been in China, and I will rarely shoot foreign language films like "Paradise Cinema", Xu Hui's expression was a little more serious: "Another point, I am certainly worthy of congratulations for winning the Oscar, but please don't take this thing too seriously, to a large extent, I am the glory of the film itself, and also, don't compare me with some predecessors, they are not directors of the same era, what is the comparison?"
It's official!
Zhang Jie nodded, agreeing with the other party's opinion: "... So you told Matt at the Oscars that you owe him a movie?"
"This, I really owe him a lot, and I took over "Paradise Cinema" with a salary of 2 million US dollars, and I didn't play the leading role..."
"So, you're still going to cooperate?"
"Of course, it is estimated that the script will be written next year," holding the teacup in front of him and taking a sip of water, Xu Hui continued: "To be honest, many big names in Europe and the United States want to act in good movies, so as long as your script can impress them, the salary or something is negotiable." ”
"Let's talk about Yang Xiaohu, why did she attend the Oscars with you?"
That's a good question.
The two topics of recent hot searches, the first is, of course, 'Xu Hui Oscar Best Director', and the second is 'Xu Hui Yang Xiaohu is suspected of being public'...
Xu Hui did not respond positively, and Yang Xiaohu ambiguously said that he would ask Xu Hui...
Damn, it's just a woman in love with Chiguoguo.
“… I've made it very clear, we're friends, a little bit closer than friends, of course. ”
"Is that boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"It depends on fate, anyway, I have no plans to fall in love for the time being. ”
Xu Hui's answer was ambiguous, and in the end, he was busy with work and didn't want to engage in the object for the time being...
The two chatted a few more words, and Xu Hui seemed to think of something: "By the way, I still have a film to participate in the Cannes Film Festival this year, and that movie is called "Beautiful Life"..."
