Chapter 188: Hotel Daily
The theme of war and the theme of reflecting the national disaster are the favorites of great directors.
Businessmen, especially those who make movies, have their own set of business experiences.
The 'Holocaust craze' that has begun to rise in recent years is obviously aimed at collecting money, and of course, there is no shortage of sincere ones, such as the 2007 documentary "Nanjing", which Ted Lionsis, vice president of AOL, decided to fund the filming after watching Zhang Chunru's eulogy.
Why does it have to be made into a commercial film, can't it be directly and more deeply analyzed?
Unlikely, first of all, because of the existence of censorship in China, things that are too profound or even too specific historical facts cannot be screened;
Secondly, in addition to the commercial film model, it is impossible to raise enough funds, and the return on the cost of release is also the most basic professional ethical goal of the director.
This also explains why Zhang Yimou allowed Zhang Weipin to interfere in his creation.
Even if there is no 600 million, it is really a lot of money, and Bell's salary alone is 10 million US dollars!
Also, Hollywood's special effects team is really not ordinarily expensive, Feng Xiaogang once said that when he was filming "Assembly", he wanted to ask the Hollywood team to do war scenes, but found that it was ridiculously expensive, so he had to turn to the Korean team.
As a director, Xu Hui of course also has the idea of filming a big scene, filming a Korean War or the Sino-Japanese War, and the special effects alone will burn him 200 million!
However, he knows his own level, and he knows the censorship system even better, without the green light of the relevant departments, it is impossible to make a good movie!
"War theme, I don't have this idea for the time being, let's see the opportunity, maybe one day I read a certain book, and I'm interested!"
Xu Hui replied half-truthfully.
"I heard that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is about to start, what angle are you going to tell this story?"
“… No, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is estimated to have to wait for half a year, before I may have to make a movie with the theme of the Republic of China, which is about the story of three women..."
"Can you elaborate on that?"
The journalists' eyes lit up.
Xu Hui wants to start filming a new film, which is a big deal!
“… This, I make movies very quickly, at most in July, I will meet with you, so I won't mention much, the name of the work is tentatively "Dao Ma Dan"!"
……
The media reported quickly, and before Xu Hui and a few people got into the car, someone from the harem group had already called.
It's Yaya, the young lady goes straight to the point: "You want to shoot a new work?"
“… Right. ”
"Three women?"
“… Yes..."
"I want one!"
“… We'll talk about that later..."
Pao Hui looked at Miss Wan sitting next to him, who was looking ahead, but his ears were inadvertently approaching Xu Hui's mobile phone, making it clear that he wanted to hear who he was talking to!
Tsk, woman!
"I said, I want a role, you can do it!"
“… Sister, I'm not going to find outsiders for this play..."
"Am I an outsider?"
"No, I mean I'm not going to look for actors outside the company, I just want to support a few young actors!"
“… I wish you success!"
Yaya hung up the phone hatefully.
"Undefeated in the East" has been delayed, and she, as the actor of Ren Yingying, will definitely push off the scheduled schedule, what about the three months that are vacant?
The actor's schedule is very expensive!
“… Is it Tong Liya?"
Miss Wan asked in a low voice.
“… yes, wait..."
Xu Hui was about to answer, and another phone call came in, this time it was Liu Sisi...
Hey, the harem group is growing, what should I do?
……
Hotel, Xu Hui was lying on the bed, Miss Wan stepped on his back barefoot, a non-standard Thai massage.
The reason is this, after entering the hotel, Pao Hui sweated on the treadmill for an hour, there is no way, the abstinent man can only dissipate his excess energy in this way.
It may be a little too violent, after returning to the room, Pao Hui felt a little tired of his muscles, Miss Wan volunteered to give him a massage, of course Pao Hui readily agreed...
"Xu Hui..."
"Hmm..."
"Who are you going to shoot "Sword and Horse"?"
“… Do you want to... Oops..."
Pao Hui was alert and wanted to turn over, forgetting that there was still a person standing on his back, and by accident, Miss Wan slipped down and just stepped on Pao Hui's two balls...
This feeling is sour to death!
“… I'm sorry..."
Miss Wan knew that she had done something wrong and hurriedly apologized.
Pao Hui didn't have time to take care of her, untied his restraints, and looked down.
Fortunately, from the outside, there is no problem, but it still hurts a little...
"What's the use of being sorry?
Xu Hui couldn't help but glared at Miss Wan.
"Why don't I rub it for you?"
“… You're still blowing it, forget it, it shouldn't be fine, it'll be fine in two days!"
Xu Hui carefully cushioned it, felt nothing unusual, and put on his pants.
"What did you just want to ask?"
“… I... I would like to ask what the company has for me..."
Miss Wan changed her words.
"You should ask your agent about this, however, I estimate that you will take the big screen route in the future, with the foundation of gold and jade, the company will definitely help you choose the script!"
“… Two days ago, a movie came to me, and the script was okay. ”
"What's the name?"
"Paradise in the Army"
"Dou Dao's movie?"
"yes, you know?"
"Of course..."
"Paradise in the Army", the original time and space girl brushed the Golden Horse female supporting role with this drama and achieved a small peak in life...
Xu Hui thought for a while: "The skill of the bean guide is there, if you want to take it, just take it!"
"Isn't our company at odds with those people in Taiwan?"
""Paradise in the Army" is a project invested by Huayi, and it is very simple for us to intervene, but the scale of that drama seems to be quite large, right?"
"Well, I read the script, and there was a passion scene..."
"Then don't take it!"
Cannon Hui is very domineering.
What annoys him the most is that his woman is acting in a kiss scene with other male actors, not to mention any passion scenes!
It is said that the reason why Miss Wan was able to brush up on the Golden Horse female supporting role with "Paradise in the Army" was largely because she dared to take it off.
These literary filmmakers like to explore the structure of the human body, and they are especially happy to show it to the audience...
"Then I won't take it..."
Miss Wan glanced at Pao Hui and nodded very obediently.
The young lady behaved well and rewarded you in the evening... Well, for now, it's only the hand of the eagle...
While he was talking, there was a knock on the door.
The two got dressed and opened the door, it was Chen Farong.
"Wan Qian, why are you here, what are you two doing, why are you opening the door now?"
Miss Wan blushed a little, do you want to tell her that she wants to be ashamed?
Well, no one in the company knows about Pao Hui and Miss Wan, including a few new recruits to the harem group...
“… Do you care so much? What's the matter?"
Pao Hui decisively blocked the interrogation.
"Today's box office is out!"
"Really, I'll see!"
Xu Hui turned his head and prepared to go to the bedroom to get his mobile phone.
"No, I'll read it to you. ”
“… Okay, too. ”
