Chapter 161: Whatever You Want
With the familiar pillow, Xu Hui finally returned home.
Today is October 19th, and the Busan Film Festival is the day before yesterday!
When he got home, the first thing Pao Hui did was to drink three bowls of baicao soup in a row!
The consumption is too great...
This trip to South Korea is a gun... No, the trip to the Busan Film Festival in South Korea was a bit forgetful.
Especially the night before leaving, not only did he complete the toilet kill with Tiffany, but he almost completed the double kill in the singing room...
After eating, someone suggested going to the practice room, and then several people changed venues.
VS Lim Yoon-a, Kwon Yoo-ri...
There are no bystanders...
The fork will be waisted, but it will exhaust him...
That night, it was very rare to play the game of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai who shared the same bed but did not enter the body with Sister Tianxian...
I didn't even get up in the morning, and I didn't get up as usual...
It may be that there is too much loss of positive energy, and the cannon glow has entered the sage time!
……
Xu Hui started making movies just because he liked movies and loved this art.
As for a bunch of things after that, it has repeatedly broken box office records, and the original Xu Hui Film Studio has gradually evolved into a listed company, which is an unexpected surprise.
In fact, since the company went public, Xu Hui found himself a little irritable.
At first, he thought it was the harem group tearing him up in an embarrassment, or a fear of the inertia of the historical process.
Many things happen completely out of his control, Yaya takes over the damn "Northern Love", and Liu Yifei wants to act in a literary movie!
During that time, Pao Hui was quite mournful...
even affected the filming of "New Dragon Gate Inn", and later, he learned that it was only because of the movie!
Any director who has self-requirements for his work will always have self-doubt, self-analysis, and if he succeeds, he will embark on the path of a master, and if he fails, it will be equivalent to God taking away all your talents!
Xu Hui has been making movies for several years.
But the only themes he is good at are costume martial arts movies and youth themes, and he urgently needs to try new themes!
However, deep down, he was a little worried about missing out, and he always wanted to wait a few more years...
Could it be that if we wait a few more years, what difference will the result be?
Directors, like actors, are most afraid of being stereotyped, especially directors who have pursuits.
Why do those big directors always want to make some movies that they don't know what to do? Because he wants to change!
Now is the era of commercial films, in fact, Xu Hui can sit back and relax, the memory he has is enough to ensure that he can lead a bunch of domestic filmmakers within ten years.
Moreover, because of Xu Hui's appearance, compared with the urban comedies and romance films gathered in the original time and space market, the audience has at least one more choice: martial arts movies!
However, Pao Hui himself couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
In addition to commercial success, Pao Hui has a higher pursuit, about art, he hopes that the audience can put aside their identity and simply appreciate his films...
To put it bluntly, he actually just wants to win the award!
Gain professional recognition!
This is the same as some successful people in China, but they like to go around giving speeches to re-establish their image...
……
For a film to win an award, it must have some aspects that impress the judges.
The Chinese films selected by Western film festivals are reasonable, and the simple understanding is that Westerners are accustomed to seeing drunken money, or high-rise buildings, and want to see suffering and poverty, or they have prejudices against China, like to see China's dirty mess, and feel that it is not easy for the third world to engage in art, and so on.
To a large extent, many directors in China who take the film festival route have seen this mode of thinking of Westerners, and they do think so.
But Xu Hui definitely can't make such a movie, and he can't make it!
Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, although the environment in which he lives is not very rich, it has absolutely nothing to do with poverty.
He has no interest in poverty dramas!
Award-winning films are generally poor dramas.
The so-called poverty drama is to put people in a desperate situation and judge, showing the absurdity, profundity, rebellion, paradox, complexity and changeability of human nature, so as to convey profound philosophical thoughts, which are deeply loved by old academic scholars.
If he wants to win an award, he can only make movies that are a little more absurd or have less profound themes.
"Cinema Paradiso" and "Beautiful Legend" all belong to that genre!
The preparation progress of "Paradise Cinema" is okay, except that the crew has not yet been formed and the actors have not been in place, and the others have been almost set!
Childhood Toto found Ty Simpkins;
The juvenile Duoduo is Eddie Redmayne;
The middle-aged Duoduo is Matt's cute;
Matt is cute and likes this script very much, and takes the initiative to ask to join...
For other roles, Xu Hui will be handed over to the casting director to deal with, and he will also send a few photos from time to time to ask Xu Huiman if he is satisfied.
Judging from the progress, there should be half a year before the crew can be formed!
Before that, he needs to finish the filming of the already formulated "Smiling Proud Jianghu: Undefeated in the East"!
……
As soon as he woke up, Pao Hui finally walked out of the sage time.
However, last night's self-examination gave him a lot of gains.
He decided to step out of his comfort zone and try something else!
Before that, Xu Hui was going to the company to discuss with Huang Wen, after all, he is now the signboard of Huiwen's world, and such a rash transformation will have any bad impact on Huiwen?
“… I'm so convinced, I won't stop anywhere!"
When I saw Huang Wen, I was scolded by him, and Xu Hui was a little inexplicable.
"The scandal between you and Liu Yifei has spread on the Internet now, don't you know?"
After Pao Hui returned to China, he has been a sage time, and he has not opened his mobile phone to watch his news.
“… You've said it's a scandal, it's definitely not true!"
"Whether it's true or not, you know it in your heart!"
Huang Wen despises Xu Hui's teddy-like character, no, even in some aspects, Pao Hui is not as good as Teddy, at least people dare to declare their sovereignty in front of a bunch of people!
"Cinema Paradiso is a drama, you know?"
“… You know, I definitely care about your movies, and I've read all the scripts!"
Huang Wen glanced at him inexplicably, not quite understanding the meaning of this topic.
"I mean, if I make a feature film or a literary film, will it have any bad impact on the company's stock price?"
"It depends on how well you shoot, but I think it's time for you to change your genre, it's always all in the routine of martial arts movies, it's easy to not get out!"
“… Why are you so good at talking today?"
Pao Hui was a little inexplicable, according to his understanding of Huang Wen, he should have persuaded Xu Hui to change his mind or something.
"Al Pacino and Matt Damon, let me tell you, as long as this movie is at a passing level, it means that we have successfully entered North America!"
Huang Wen looked excited!
Xu Hui then thought that "Paradise Cinema" is not only his transformation, but also the first foreign language film invested by Huiwen World!
Damn, it's so stressful!
