That's right, Xu Wenhui is going to shoot "Home Alone" this time, from the actors to the crew, the entire team uses Chinese.

What I want is the effect of Chinese works.

Other than that.

As a screenwriter and director, the company's shares are also 100% his, Xu Wenhui naturally will not take this money, which is another saving money.

Therefore, after looking for Shi Nan Nan and Chen Baixiang and others, Xu Wenhui believes that the cost of filming this movie will not exceed 8 million Hong Kong dollars!!

※※※

Shi Nan was in Xu Wenhui's office, and after reading the script written by Xu Wenhui, he nodded and said: "BOSS, the script of this movie is very good, it belongs to a comedy movie with a relatively high style, and shooting it will not damage your style." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xu Wenhui is a little complacent, which is also the result of his own careful consideration.

Comedies are also divided into grades, such as "Screaming", "Ace Spy", "Dictator" and other funny vulgar movies that rely on pee, although the box office is good.

But this kind of movie has a certain amount of damage to the director's compulsion.

The most typical example is Xu Wenhui's subordinate Wang Jing, who has filmed so many such comedies and is deeply loved by many fans.

But so what?

As a result, he has never been favored by the Academy Awards, and he has been scolded as the "king of bad movies." ”

In fact, he has made more excellent works than Wong Kar-wai, John Woo, Du Qifeng and other directors.

Xu Wenhui's filming this time was influenced by the fact that the director of "Midnight Bell" is an island country, and the Chinese petitioned him to make a movie that is as powerful as it is and raises the light of my Chinese.

Therefore, Xu Wenhui must consider this aspect.

I don't want to make a movie, so I will be labeled as "vulgar" and "cheap".

Even if it's a commercial film, it has to be stylish!

Just like Xu Wenhui's previous "Mr. Zombie" and "Royal Sister", although they are both commercial films, they are not disgraceful!!

※※※

Therefore, Xu Wenhui's choice to shoot a family comedy like "Home Alone" is definitely a shrewd choice.

Like Steven Spielberg, a great Hollywood director, has produced the family comedy "The Goonies".

Of course.

The most compelling of comedies is still black comedy, and if such films can be made well, then the director can basically become famous.

For example, Guy Ritchie, an international British director who became popular with movies such as "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Kidnapping and Robbery", as well as Hollywood director Quentin Tarendino, who is famous all over the world with "Vulgar", "Reservoir Dogs" and "Inglourious Basterds", Simon Pegg, who became popular with "Zombie Shaun" and "Hot Blooded Detective", etc.

But.

Xu Wenhui knows that it is very difficult to shoot a good black humor film, and most importantly, it is difficult to get too high a box office. Even the dark humor film "No Country for Old Men," which helped the Coen brothers win an Oscar, only grossed $160 million worldwide.

Since Xu Wenhui wants to promote the prestige of my Chinese and earn honor.

While the style can't be low, naturally the box office can't be too low, "Midnight Bell" won hundreds of millions of box office, and Xu Wenhui naturally can't be too bad.

Naturally, "Home Alone" is all such works that can be selected, the top and most preferred works.

After proving yourself.

After Xu Wenhui, he is interested, and it is not too late to slowly shoot "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Vulgar" to improve his qualifications.

The series of movies of "Home Alone", because it is so famous, Xu Wenhui has seen it all, and even watched the first part a few times, so the memory is still fresh, the script can be easily figured out, and the rest is the problem of casting and forming the script.

※※※

"BOSS, this movie, are you planning to land on the global Christmas schedule?" asked Shi Nan, as the real person in charge of Kowloon Film and Television.

"Clever!"

Xu Wenhui smiled faintly.

This is his shrewdness again.

Because, on the other hand, although it is the beginning of August, the movie was originally released in November in history.

It takes time from the preparation, casting, preparing props, and so on.

In the past three or four months, Xu Wenhui can calmly prepare, shoot the movie, edit the movie, do the post-production, and then deal with other official affairs and promotional films, and promote this film must be global in nature, and it will take a lot of time from the publicity warm-up until it is released in November, perfect!!

"I'm going to release this movie at Christmas, and from tomorrow onwards, you're going to get the group to cooperate. In addition, I contacted Twentieth Century Fox to see if they were interested in releasing the film, as well as other distribution companies around the world. ”

Xu Wenhui commanded.

In fact, a movie released worldwide basically lasts for more than half a year.

It is important to know that film publicity has five purposes: 1. Arouse interest, 2. Take the initiative to pay attention to the information of the film, 3. Generate consumption desire, 4. Enter the market for consumption, 5. Word-of-mouth communication.

From the preparation period to the publicity period, to the day of release, it is common to do a full year of publicity.

Titanic, a record-breaking movie, was filmed and produced for five years, and the publicity was promoted for five years...

"BOSS, no problem, please believe in my professional!!" Shi boy said confidently.

Xu Wenhui smiled and nodded, "Of course, in addition to being my woman, you are also my best right-hand man!!"

Shi boy smiled sweetly.

Only in front of Xu Wenhui did Shi boy have such a little woman's side.

Xu Wenhui was a little moved, so he took her little hand, Shi boy and he are also old! husband, old wife, naturally understood what he meant, his face turned red, and then consciously walked over, serving this man who is both her boss and her man!!

"Oh..."

※※※

The next day, the headlines of the Hong Kong newspapers.

Without exception, it was the news of Xu Wenhui's new movie, and the news was naturally released by Shi boy, and then the mouthpiece of Xu's Group, Next Magazine Media Group took the lead in reporting!

Others, such as "Ming Pao", "Sing Tao Daily", "Cheng Pao" and so on, have made reports!!

Ordinary citizens are still very interested in "Midnight Bell", and there are not a few petitions and ideas asking Xu Wenhui to shoot a movie comparable to it, and it is increasing unabated.

Therefore, Xu Wenhui's fans, and Chinese people, they are very keen on Xu Wenhui's new movie, so the news that he started filming the big movie "Home Alone" made the general readers look forward to it.

And that's not all.

As Xu's Group, its own media, "Next Magazine" also published a scoop.

said that Xu Wenhui is very confident in "Home Alone", this movie will once again break the box office record in Hong Kong, and enter Hollywood, and be released worldwide, and the box office will not be worse than "Midnight Bell"!!

As soon as this news came out, not only the people of Xiangjiang, but also the enthusiasm of foreign fans, many people called or sent emails to Xu's Group.

All of them are asking about the release time of "Home Alone".

and more insiders, and even many people gave advice to Xu Wenhui, selected actors, and so on.

In short, "Home Alone" became popular before it was released!!
