Although the industrial layout of "Xi Yu" has been criticized, in fact, not too many people pay attention to it, and the general public is obviously more concerned about what state Cheng Xiaoyu is in now, and countless of his fans and gossip lovers want to know what this "king of horror films" and "the best trader of commercial films" is busy with. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Catherine, who used to laugh at him like a sissy. Blanchett's fans, even if they are dissatisfied with Cheng Xiaoyu occupying a lot of media pages at this moment, they are not saying that he is not worthy of the goddess of their hearts.

The whole world knows about Catherine. Blanchett's criteria for choosing a mate, and it is obvious that this Chinese is very qualified......

"The best film director of the younger generation" - this is Catherine. Blanchett's grandfather, the evaluation of Hollywood's most powerful director.

No one can argue with that.

Because the whole world was shrouded in the shadow of "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow" throughout February and March, "Xichu Pictures" has become a film company that the entire Hollywood will be jealous and envious of when they see it, and has become the savior of the global box office market.

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" was released in early March, with a broadcast period of 56 days, and it topped the weekly list for six weeks, and finally swept away $410 million at the box office in the North American market, making Cheng Xiaoyu the youngest director in the entire film history to box office $400 million.

The overseas box office of "The Grim Reaper" is not inferior, as the world's second largest box office, Huaxia, contributed $230 million to Cheng Xiaoyu's box office, and South Korea and neon contributed a total of $110 million to the slightly smaller market capacity.

Although "Death is Coming" was cold in Europe and only received 80 million US dollars, this did not damage Cheng Xiaoyu's brilliance at all.

"Hollywood Observer" quipped: Maybe Europe is against Justin. Bieber is not too interested, maybe you will regret that director Cheng Da's "Death is Coming" has accumulated less than a billion dollars at the global box office, maybe you will snicker, thinking that he is too young and needs to struggle for a few years to cross this threshold that countless directors want to cross.

However, no matter what you do and how you feel, "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", which was filmed in a week, is going to slap you in the face.

As of March 31, this $350,000 so-called "the scariest horror movie in history" has earned $420 million in North America, yes, you read that right, 420 million, not 40 million, not 4 million, not neon dollars, not Huaxia coins, but really US dollars.......

The North American market alone has increased by more than a thousand times!

The world has taken on a horrific storm, earning $270 million in China, $170 million in Neon and South Korea, $200 million in Europe, and $70 million in Oceania, even though it has not yet been released, it has already grossed more than a billion dollars worldwide.

At a time when it has always been an off-season, it has become the savior of theaters all over the world.

There is no doubt that this film can be said to be the smallest cost in film history will go down in history, and director Cheng Da is about to break the record again and become the youngest director in film history to exceed one billion at the global box office.

It is rumored that the senior management of "Universal" has also had a dispute over whether to give up the schedule of "Heroes on the Road" for "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Record", and now I think the senior management of "Universal" must be very aware of the feeling of failing to invest and standing on the roof of the building and jumping down.

As for Peter. Kopla? Who remembers him? Sony doesn't even remember him anymore, let alone us.

The original 400 million directed by Cheng Da? No, it is said that the investment has risen to $600 million now, my God, the huge investment of $600 million in movies, I feel thrilling when I think about it.

In any case, this movie was originally unexpected, but at this moment, many people in the film industry have changed their attitude to a more cautious attitude, and most of them say: The loss is certain, but maybe there will be a miracle?

Compared with the previous two months, anywhere in Hollywood, when 400 million is mentioned, it will be full of laughter and ridicule, and now everyone is just smiling and saying: "Although I am not optimistic about this big investment, I will definitely spend ten dollars to buy a ticket and see what 600 million looks like." ”

Compared with "Hollywood Observer", other media are much more acute, Cheng Xiaoyu is essentially excluded from mainstream culture by Yankees, after all, he is a Chinese, and the movies he shoots do not conform to the values of white people.

Most of the media accused Cheng Xiaoyu's films of being overly commercialized, as the most influential director of the younger generation, he did not shoulder the responsibility of spreading correct values, and the three films he shot were all R-rated, and in "Horror Movie" he was full of swearing.

Even the film critic who has always been at odds with Cheng Xiaoyu, Peter. Kopla's best friend, Pauline. Kyle points out that there are more than 200 words in Horror Movie that are profanity, and as many as 50 or so scenes of explicit eroticism and bloody violence.

At the end of the report, he was full of arrogance: Although this Chinese director has made money, his movies are just disgusting, disgusting, and vulgar tricks to deceive children, and this kind of director should drive him out of Hollywood and the United States, and not let him poison young people.

Of course, in addition to this kind of scolding comments, there are also killings, and the "New York Times" has claimed through the jaw-dropping success and incomparably ingenious and skillful filming skills of "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow"......

Because his overseas box office alone is higher than the overseas box office of all Chinese directors combined.....

The article finally said: "The young director Cheng Da lacks nothing, money, beauty, power, all he lacks is some glittering awards to prove himself, he only lacks Chinese people and has never won an Oscar......

But how long do we have to wait to see Cheng Xiaoyu on the stage of the Oscars, it depends on the young director himself, he already has this ability, but he still lacks a little determination and motivation to rush to the Olympics......

No matter what the media say, it can't affect the soaring of "Midnight Bell: The Ghost Shadow", which is not only a box office hit, but even the film reviews are much better than Cheng Xiaoyu's other two movies, although it is still criticized by many film critics in terms of core, saying that this movie is neither in-depth nor atmospheric, and the pain of the whole society cannot be seen, let alone humanistic care.

But at least Cheng Xiaoyu showed his perfect shooting skills, perfectly grasped the emotion of "fear", and created a genre, in these aspects, film critics are not blind and cannot turn a blind eye.

However, in the next movie, if Cheng Xiaoyu is still so thoughtless, he will definitely be criticized by film critics, after all, he is already a director who has entered the public eye and is worth looking forward to.

But it's a pity that in Cheng Xiaoyu's 2014 filming plan, the circle of money is still the first, he is already writing the famous bad movie script "Twilight", as for the filming he will not be in person, will be handed over to Justin who has already helped. Bieber made two MVs for the Chinese director - Huang Jingdong.

is the Chinese American who graduated from USC and stopped him at the gate of "Xichu" after the release of "Death is Coming", because Cheng Xiaoyu's time is precious, he just wrote an outline of the script of "Twilight".

After calling Huang Jingdong, Cheng Xiaoyu handed over the outline of a total of 1,000 words he had written, and the general character of the main characters to Huang Jingdong and said: "Huang, forget about your unrealistic script, take this outline and expand it, if I have seen the writing well, your first movie will start shooting, and I promise to be ......able to go to theaters."

Huang Jingdong sat in the chair opposite Cheng Xiaoyu a little stiffly, and received the two pages handed over by Cheng Xiaoyu, the blinds behind him were tightly closed, and a steaming coffee cup was placed on the table, with an ugly green mermaid logo printed on it.

Huang Jingdong was full of excitement and spent a few minutes silently reading this outline, but his heart gradually became cold, he didn't expect Cheng Xiaoyu to ask him to shoot such a thing..... WTF?

He had already seen a vulgar love movie with a girl's heart exploding, and he looked up at this young boss who was extremely young and had created a box office miracle, and he was looking intently at the laptop on the table, sitting under the dim light.

His desk was a little messy, all kinds of books, notes, and small things were placed in a disorderly manner within his reach, and in the corner of the table were one or two picture frames, a picture of a smiling and gentle woman, obviously judging from the makeup and the degree of newness, this photo was some years old, and it should be his mother.

The other is a family photo, there are four people in the photo, the boss is standing in the middle and smiling happily, and there is a girl next to him who makes him feel familiar, but where have he seen it, but he can't recall it.

Cheng Xiaoyu raised his head and saw Huang Jingdong staring at the family photo he placed on the table in a daze, smiled and said, "It's beautiful, right?" This is my sister. ”

Huang Jingdong reacted at this time, and said with a little stammer: "It's very beautiful...."Seeing that Cheng Xiaoyu had murderous anger in his eyes, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, boss, I just feel very familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere.... I don't have any bad thoughts! ”

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said proudly: "The company's opening is made according to my sister's appearance." ”

Even if he can't leave his name in history, Xiaoxi will definitely be able to, countless years later, when future generations see the movie produced by "Xichu", they will think of this allusion, which is the romance and tenderness in Cheng Xiaoyu's bones.

Huang Jingdong suddenly exclaimed: "WOW! Boss, you must have a good relationship with your sister....."

His expression and tone were very contrived and exaggerated, but Cheng Xiaoyu could feel the awe of him in it, which brought him some satisfaction.

But at this moment, Cheng Xiaoyu's expression, in Huang Jingdong's view, was as hazy as in the smoke, and he vaguely saw Cheng Xiaoyu's sculpture-like stiff and three-dimensional face, revealing a complex and intriguing expression.

At this time, Huang Jingdong felt that he was so far away from this young boss and so close.

It seems that the Chu River and the Han realm are close to the end of the world.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't answer Huang Jingdong's question, but just asked: "After reading this outline, it seems that you have some questions to ask?" ”

Huang Jingdong smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity, but I must explain that I am not good at shooting this kind of small and fresh love film, this script has to be written for me, and I will definitely write it as a suspense film....."

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "Since you know my intentions, why do you still think you can't do it?" ”

Huang Jingdong's honesty is worthy of recognition, but this kind of disguised refusal cannot be allowed without proper reasons.

Huang Jingdong shrugged his shoulders and said with some embarrassment: "Boss, I haven't been in love yet....."

When Cheng Xiaoyu heard such a suitable reason, he could only smile and shake his head: "Okay! Jingdong, all I can say is that I didn't think it through..... Then I'll find a playwright to write this book first. ”

Huang Jingdong hesitated, plucked up his courage and said, "Hey! Boss, I think "Midnight Bell" can be handed over to me to shoot! I was very inspired after watching your movie....."

Cheng Xiaoyu then remembered that "Midnight Bell" left a lot of suspense for himself, and it was another IP movie that could be made several times, so he thought about it and said: "You write the script first...... If I think it's good, I can leave the sequel to you to make. ”

Huang Jingdong immediately stood up from the chair excitedly and said, "Thank you, boss, I will definitely live up to your expectations....."

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Don't be happy too early, the script is not well written, but you can't pass my level." ”

Huang Jingdong nodded and walked out of Cheng Xiaoyu's office.

Cheng Xiaoyu put the two pages on the desk casually, and continued to read the supporting role resume of "Titanic" sent to him by the casting director on his laptop.

He already has an idea about the main character, the male protagonist Justin. Bieber, the heroine he wants to please Catherine. Blanchett, this should be the two most famous and powerful among the young generation of actors, and with him as a young director, there may be a lot of interesting sparks.

What can be done to Catherine. Blanchett spoke, but he had a little headache, the agent who contacted her directly seemed too raw and not sincere enough, and he took the initiative to call, in case he was directly rejected, the matter would be a little irreparable.

After thinking about it for a while, Cheng Xiaoyu still talked to Catherine first. Blanchett sent a text message: "Hey! Catherine, long time no see, wanted to treat you to dinner, I don't know when you have time? ”

After almost an hour, Cheng Xiaoyu thought that Catherine. Blanchett wouldn't reply to his message when he received a text message: "If you can get to Spago in half an hour, I think I can give you the opportunity to treat me to dinner......"
