Chapter 122: The Late Period (38/85)

Like the last "My Little Black Dress", Xu Hui will not direct the movie "Sunny" himself, and should choose to hand it over to a female director.

However, Xue Xiaolu already has "Little Black Dress" to be busy, and there are not many famous female directors in China, and even fewer are commercially available in line with Xu Hui's requirements.

Forget it, write the script, and then hand it to Chen Farong, let her go to the director, maybe this sister can convince Chen Kexin...

The story of "Sunny" is probably like a twenty-five year memory, telling the past and present of the 'Seven Princesses' through the contrast between the past and the reality...

However, the plot must be modified, and South Korea's national conditions are still different from ours in China.

Another point is that the story of Korea in the 70s had to be transferred to China in the 80s, and the names of several characters had to be changed slightly, after all, several of them were really disgusting...

As for the actors, between 90-94, most of the popular flowers in later generations are at this age, and there are too many to choose from, Yang Zi, Meat Bar, Nazha, Zheng Shuang, Zhou Dongyu, Li Qin, Zhang Chongai, Jin Chen...

Of course, these girls should still be in school for the time being, but Xu Hui's works, presumably they will not refuse...

……

The entire publicity period of "33 Days of Broken Love" lasted for more than 20 days, and for the next week, Xu Hui stayed in the company and was busy discussing the issue of listing with a group of senior executives.

Most of the time, of course, he just sat in on the sidelines.

"33 Days of Broken Love" is a major setback that Xu Hui has encountered since he entered the industry.

A movie that can obviously break the box office of 300 million is due to the wrong schedule selection, and the final box office stopped at 250 million.

This was quite a setback for Pao Hui.

Since he stepped into the film industry, it has been smooth sailing, and the movies he has shot and starred in have been big hits without exception.

It is a must, he is standing on the shoulders of giants!

"Embroidered Spring Knife", "The Wind" and "Those Years", except for the first one, the box office was not satisfactory because of publicity, and the other two were very rare box office masterpieces in domestic films.

"33 Days of Broken Love" was released in 2011 with a box office of 350 million!

Now starring Xu Hui, the box office is only 250 million...

No matter how the media brags, Xu Hui is already the most box office appeal actor in China, the director who knows the audience best, and the new hope of Chinese films.

Xu Hui knew very well that these were just choices he made based on his memories of his past life.

It is also based on the premise that Pao Hui's works are still a big hit.

But who knows if the next work will lose money?

Do you think what the gang will say if he loses?

Pao Hui finally realized what directors in the market with Chinese characteristics have to worry about every day...

……

The later stage is no less important for a movie than a rebirth!

Editing, sound effects, soundtracks including special effects.

In terms of editing, Xu Hui personally served as the main editor, after all, there is no one who knows the movie "Once Upon a Time" better than him.

In terms of special effects, basefx followed up the whole process, and at the beginning of the filming of "Once Upon a Time", Xu Hui had already handed over the special effects to basefx, and according to expectations, there should be six months left to complete the special effects of the entire "Once Upon a Time".

"Brother Li, this is too slow, I still want to release it in May next year!"

Knowing that the special effects would take at least six months to complete, Xu Hui was not very happy.

It's already November, and the six-month cycle will be delayed until at least April next year, and the movie will still be approved, test screening, and screening, so there is not enough time at all!

Not to mention the propaganda...

"This is already our fastest speed, unless you want to use the simplest five-cent effect!"

It was Li Guoqiang who spoke, the boss of BaseFX special effects company.

Like Xu Hui, he is a stubborn maniac, but one of these two is a master of special effects, and the other is just a novice who is gradually developing on the road of directing.

What he said, Xu Hui could only believe!

"However, in this way, it will affect our follow-up promotion and the release of the movie..."

"Director Xu, I've always wanted to ask you, why does it have to be set for May? It can be postponed for a month or two, and we can also participate in the Cannes Film Festival..."

Lu Yang, who had been following Xu Hui, couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Cannes?"

Xu Hui hesitated, not that he didn't want to, but that the movie "Once Upon a Time" was obviously more like a commercial film.

The president of the Cannes jury next year is Tim Burton, this product has a strange theme and a strange painting style, and Xu Hui is two people at all, he serves as the chairman of the jury, "Once Upon a Time" wants to win the award, how is it possible?

“… Director Xu, didn't you say that the "Once Upon a Time" series you want to make "Once Upon a Time in China"?

Lu Yang continued to persuade.

"Okay, let's go to Cannes then!"

Xu Hui was persuaded, glanced at Li Guoqiang, and said: "Brother Guoqiang, at least April, I must see the finished film, and you can hurry up in terms of special effects..."

As Lu Yang said, the Cannes International Film Festival is not only the film industry, it is also the world's largest film fair!

……

The soundtrack of a movie is undoubtedly an extremely important factor in a movie, and is often referred to as the "second line" of a movie.

The appearance of a piece of music is often accompanied by grand scenes or major events, as well as the psychological aspects of the characters in the film than those things that cannot be described in words.

In layman's terms, the movie soundtrack is based on the mood of the characters in the plot environment, which can strengthen the atmosphere, create an atmosphere, highlight the theme, and is an important film language!

For a good movie, the soundtrack often takes up more than half of the total duration.

It's a pity that there is very little awareness of this in today's movies, and often a movie doesn't even have a soundtrack...

The original "Once Upon a Time" series is dedicated to domestic films with its treasure-like soundtrack.

Folk music dominates Western musical instruments, and the melody can also be popular!

Definitely a masterpiece!

"Mr. Tan, I want to adapt this paragraph from "The General's Order"..."

Tan Dun is of course a master in soundtrack, and he has won the Oscar for Best Original Music and the Grammy Award for Composition, two of the most important music awards in the world.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Night Banquet", director Li Amine and Feng Xiaogang have cooperated with him.

"The General's Order?"

“… We can find Lin Zixiang and ask him to sing "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" again..."

Xu Hui was a little contemptuous in his heart, what a master, he didn't even know the "General's Order"!

"Do you want to use the traditional war drums of the East as the main keynote, and then supplement them with unique oriental musical symbols such as the lute?"

Tan Dun directly got Xu Hui's intentions.

“… That's right!"

Well, I take back my prejudices, and the music is really the same...
