Chapter 30: The Platform
On May 9, "Chinese Partner" held a pre-screening meeting at Peking University.
"Chinese Partner" is based on the entrepreneurial story of New Oriental's "troika", and Yu Minhong, Xu Xiaoping and Wang Qiang all graduated from Peking University.
The director is Chen Kexin, and Xu Hui is the producer...
Chen Kexin is one of the few existing figures whose myths have not yet been shattered.
People give nicknames to the prize maniac!
The actors he trained will always win awards...
Timeframe: 2017.
Oscar Lee's All Quiet at Half seems to be off to a bad start;
There were too many off-site scenes of "Li Xuelian" in the small steel cannon, which affected the box office; and then Zhang Guoshi took the Hollywood co-production blockbuster on stage, single-handedly causing an epic disaster;
The king of sunglasses, who scares everyone with a sentence of "I like", almost lost his night;
Xing Ye and Xu Lao Wei "joined forces", but forced many people to shout, and they no longer owe movie tickets...
Without exception, the myths of the big directors have been shattered - they have either lost the box office or lost their reputation.
Chen Kexin is also a first-line director, but she is too low-key...
Looking at his directorial career, it seems that except for one "Martial Arts", the box office is not good...
"Sweet Honey" is the highest peak of Hong Kong romance movies!
At the time of the filming of "Sweet Honey", Hong Kong's film market was affected by the global financial crisis and had begun to decline, but "Sweet Honey" was a huge success, not only sweeping many awards in China, but also being named "Top 10 Global Films of the Year" by Time Magazine in the United States, leaving a name in film history since then.
Don't ask Director Chen how he did it, he was also confused afterwards - he thought this would be the last movie he made.
Next is the old way of Hong Kong directors, who also went north to the mainland to contribute to the construction of a film market with socialist characteristics.
Since "If Love", he has officially entered the army, and has made three slightly experimental blockbusters or strange films in succession, and if you have money, you will naturally be willful...
However, this low-yield product is outrageous: from the age of 27 to the present, it has been almost 30 years since rounding up, and there are only more than ten directorial works...
He's a very... A very shrewd director, what the director wants to express, to put it bluntly, is just his own personal thing, let others spend money, and then pull a team to work hard, there is no reason for investors to lose money, so they are always cautious and prudent.
So his films rarely lose money, except for "Martial Arts"...
He himself said: "Martial Arts" is just a good shot, but the box office and word-of-mouth after the release are a bit indescribable.
However, the subsequent "Chinese Partner" and "Dear" helped him quickly get back to the next layer...
There are too many examples of Hong Kong directors failing to go north, and it is really hard to find someone to achieve such success.
The book idea of "Chinese Partner" was provided by Xu Hui, at first he was ready to direct it himself, but unfortunately he didn't have time, so he simply handed it over to Chen Kexin as he did in the original time and space!
It just so happened that Chen Kexin experienced the box office fiasco of "Martial Arts" for a while, and investors had little confidence in him, Huiwen handed over the book of "Chinese Partner" to him, he liked the project very much, and then took over...
……
The theme of "Chinese Partner" is entrepreneurship, which is currently not available in China, how to publicize it?
Huiwen takes the way of screening and college roadshows.
A large number of early screenings, the reputation of the movie will spread, of course, this method is only suitable for the situation that the quality of the movie itself is not bad...
Xu Hui, as the producer of "Chinese Partner", also attended the meeting.
It's just that he doesn't look good...
The dark circles under my eyes are very heavy, and I have to bring the necessary weapon - the frame, which can barely cover a little tiredness...
The family life of the past few days has made him very worried...
It's so hard!
I really admire those harem stream bosses, how did they do it?
The physical strength and energy are completely insufficient to cope!
Several members of the harem group have temporarily settled in Xu Hui's villa, and they surprisingly get along very harmoniously - on the surface.
At first, Pao Hui was quite excited, and the long-awaited wives and concubines were in groups, and they slept together.
Then, he knew that the farthest distance between people was not life and death, but in the face of a group of beautiful Jiao'e, he had nowhere to hang!
Don't give him a chance at all!
People are united, in addition to pleasing Xu's mother every day, they take turns to bring a lot, and their free time is used for small gambling pleasures...
I don't know how they did it, but they successfully brainwashed Yang Xiaohu, and the children are on the other side's side...
Damn, what a failure in life!
Comrade Tang Bohu has eight cousins, who have different dreams in the same bed, and the cannon glow and the bed are not available...
Not only that, in the past few days, when he stayed at home, he was all kinds of cautious, for fear that he would say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing and annoy one of the big guys, and the Shura field broke out immediately!
Family life is very tiring, simply, Pao Hui works overtime every day, even if the official business in hand is completed, he will randomly name an employee to accompany others to chat about work and life.
Good boss in China...
There is a word of suffering, and the chickens of Paohui have rested enough!
After a month-long vacation, if he doesn't reconcile yin and yang, he is worried that he will get sick...
There were even a few times when he wanted to just find a few pros to come to his studio and mess around...
Can't be so unprincipled!
In fact, there are still a lot of young ladies in Huiwen Company who make people slightly stiff to show respect, and there will be a bunch of beautiful young ladies who want to fall in love with him every day in the private emails released to the public, but Pao Hui really doesn't dare to start - in case of a nervous disorder, make up a story of a harmonious night and publish it in > good-looking skin bag 3001 nights, and the interesting soul will write you into the >He's anxious!
This time he came to the platform, in addition to helping with publicity, the most important thing is that he really doesn't want to go home...
……
Main characters: Chen Kexin, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Kai and Xu Hui...
Theme: Dialogue with Faith, Flying Young, Chinese Dream...
The first interview was of course Chen Kexin, who is the director of "Chinese Partner"!
"Actually, when I first saw the script of this movie, and then I wanted to shoot it, not to express my dreams and inspiration, but to attract me more about the changes in my personal life under the changes of the times.
"But when I photographed it, I found that this pursuit of dreams is also very good. It is said in the movie that it is not so important what the final result is for the dream to keep moving forward, the process of chasing the dream is the theme of the movie. “
"What is the definition of success? I think doing what I like is considered successful! As long as I stay in the crew, I don't want to get off work, and I won't be bitter doing what I like. For today's young people, it's about finding something they love, and four years of college is the best time to find it."
Chen Kexin's Mandarin is very standard - compared to their batch of Hong Kong directors!
"I'm curious, Director Xu Hui, how did you come up with a story like "Chinese Partner"?"
Chen Kexin handed over the topic.
"I first thought of "Chinese Partner" because I watched "The Social Network". ”
Of course, Xu Hui wants to answer: "If you go to the cinema to watch the movie, you can see that in the structure of the script, there are many similarities at the beginning, such as character design, Cheng Dongqing, he and Mark are both turtles in college..."
“… It's so difficult to express a story about entrepreneurship in two hours! I watched "Chinese Partner", and director Chen Kexin did a good job! Really, it exceeded my expectations!"
"'The Chinese Partner' is a good movie!"
Since it is a platform, it must help blow two sentences, and "Chinese Partner" is indeed a masterpiece!
"Can you comment on the actors' performances?"
The host suddenly provoked the topic!
“… Let the director speak, after all, he is the one in control of the crew. ”
Pao Hui decisively shook the pot...
