Cao Kefan probably didn't expect Xu Hui to say so happily that he had watched "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and decisively changed the topic.

"Then what kind of work do you think "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is?"

"Of course it's a good film, it can show the brutality of war as much as possible under the existing censorship, and even has some human brilliance, and the film talks about responsibility, not simply revenge. ”

“… But many people scolded "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" as a bad movie..."

This is obviously asking Xu Hui to praise "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", no way, our Oriental thinking is like this, you must praise your opponent, otherwise you will be criticized.

Xu Hui pondered for a long time before he replied: "Is "Thirteen Hairpins" a bad movie? Then there are really few good movies in the true sense of our country, and these are all the nonsense of some people who don't understand movies and don't understand Chinese movies. I watched "Thirteen Hairpins", but I didn't finish watching it, its cinematography, soundtrack, and story structure are all obviously Hollywood style, so I, as a director, will definitely predict what will happen next in the plot when watching the movie, basically I watched it for half an hour and almost knew the whole story, and then I left..."

"I myself may still prefer a movie with a less heavy theme, "Thirteen Hairpins" has a strong pathos, which is really incompatible with the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, and even, the bed scene that has been criticized by the audience the most, I haven't seen it..."

Xu Hui spread his hands: "I really can't understand why I should add a bed scene when telling such a heavy theme?"

“… This is what Zhang Weipin meant. ”

Cao Kefan, as a participant in "Thirteen Hairpins", of course, hopes that his film will be more recognized.

“… Why listen to someone who doesn't know anything about pedestrians? The director has to be responsible for his own work, and if it were me and someone wanted to dictate my film, then I would definitely not agree!"

Xu Hui continued to ask rhetorically, pointing to the core.

"I can understand that as a director, he definitely wants his work to recover its cost, which is also the most basic professional ethical goal of the director, so he allows a person who doesn't understand movies to interfere with his work, and even lets the other party hype up what he doesn't like when promoting!"

"If it were me, I would definitely change my partner, and now the production company is everywhere, so there's no need to keep one of them going!"

This is a clear support for the breakup of the two sheets!

"By the way, didn't the American Golden Globe Awards announce yesterday that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" was shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film, we all know that your film has also been nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, so in your opinion, how likely is it that "The Thirteen Hairpins" will win the award?"

“… Almost zero!"

Xu Hui was very categorically sentenced to death, and then said: "The traditional values of the West are universal concepts, they will not approve of exchanging the lives of prostitutes for the lives of students, if the age of female students is changed to 7 or 8-year-old children, maybe the impact of this movie on foreigners will be stronger." Although the Golden Globe Awards have been a bit nonsense in recent years, the bottom line is still there, after all, it is the vane of the Oscars, so it is unlikely that this award will be awarded to "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"!"

Cao Kefan paused for a moment and looked at several directors on the scene.

Different from Cao Kefan's slightly embarrassed expression, the staff at the scene were in a very high mood, which is the explosion point of the ratings!

No wonder the industry often says, 'As long as Xu Hui nods and agrees, the show will be saved!'

"Let's talk about something else..."

Xu Hui took the initiative to propose, and Cao Kefan changed the topic again.

"How much do you think "New Dragon Gate" can do at the box office?"

"This, judging from the box office trend, should not be weaker than "The Lion King", and the 3D ticket price is half more expensive than the average movie, so set a small goal, 1.5 billion, I think it should be achieved!"

“…”

Cao Kefan didn't want to speak.

"Do you think the billion goal of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is possible?"

This sentence was asked under pressure from the director of the scene...

"Well, it's a bit difficult, just want to count on the box office to recover the cost, it's impossible! In fact, the results of the North American release of "Thirteen Hairpins" have already come out, and the highest single museum is only $10,000, and it didn't even reach $50,000 on the first day..."

“… What about the domestic results?"

"I can't say this, although I know the market very well, but after all, this is a work that reflects the grief of our nation, and it is difficult to define it with ordinary commercial films..."

"If you simply expect the box office to recover its costs, an investment of 600 million will at least..."

Cao Kefan didn't finish speaking, Xu Hui had already interjected: "There is no 600 million! From the perspective of film practitioners, the investment in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is definitely not 600 million, even if he finds the best Hollywood team, it will not be as expensive as 600 million yuan, and the shooting is local, the cost is free, including the construction of venues and buildings are free to use, Zhang Yimou shoots the movie very quickly, and the shooting ends in 3 months, so its investment is less than 300 million yuan at most..."

This is especially Chiguoguo's slap in the face.

He has been boasting that ""Thirteen Hairpins" is the one with the highest investment in domestic films, 100 million US dollars, and it is not too much to get a billion'...

……

At the end of the recording of "Kefan Listening", it was already midnight, Xu Hui stood at the door of the photoelectric light, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it, and took a hard puff.

The variety shows in the mainland are still like that, a bunch of sensitive points, Xu Hui originally wanted to talk about the image of the Japanese army portrayed in "Thirteen Hairpins", but was stopped by Cao Kefan's eyes...

There's no way, after all, it's a TV show, which is equivalent to broadcasting it to all audiences, and there are still necessary restrictions - several major video websites have the right to broadcast "Kefan Listening" online.

When will it be good to have a 19-banned talk show, similar to "No Defense Tonight"...

At this moment, the car that picked him up came, Xu Hui opened the car door, and then saw Chen Sangsang with a little surprise.

Uh, his agent...

Only after the company went public, Chen Sangsang had an additional identity, the general person in charge of Huiwen Brokerage, and the focus of her work naturally shifted, basically, she didn't ask Xu Hui about some things, unless there were some particularly important things.

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

“… Three news, first, "New Dragon Gate" won 84 million at the box office today, and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is 47 million;"

"And then?"

"Second, the two of you have created the highest first-weekend box office result in mainland film history, close to 500 million yuan!"

“… There are so many?"

Nearly 500 million in the opening weekend?

What is the concept, the box office of the first weekend of the general movie will account for one-third to one-half of the total box office, if these two movies are the same, the total box office of "New Dragon Gate" or "Thirteen Hairpins" can properly exceed 1 billion!

""New Dragon Gate Inn" 310 million in the first weekend, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", 140 million, plus other movies contributed nearly 20 million at the box office... You'll be able to click on the relevant reports tomorrow!"

"Well, there's another piece of news?"

"This, you probably won't really like it..."
