On May 8, this day, Zhao Weiping's debut film "You at the Same Table" was released, and its super popularity also brought a good audience base to this movie. In addition, after the May Day holiday, everyone returned to normal work, and the box office fell sharply.

"Batman 3: Dawn Breaks" has been released for a week, and it was originally a period of box office decline, with a total of 27 million box office on this day, "Crazy Miami" received more than 40 million box office, Bi Xia's "A Chinese Ghost Story" maintained 60 million, and "You at the Same Table" won 58 million box office on the first day.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" still maintains the single-day box office champion, and at the same time, it snatched the weekly box office champion from "Batman 3" within five days of release, which made everyone cheer.

Fans are the happiest moment this Golden Week, seeing several domestic and foreign movies fighting, and it is the local domestic film that maintains an absolute advantage, which greatly increases the morale of the Chinese people, and the "You at the Same Table" released today is based on warmth, nostalgia, and youth, which also attracted a large number of fans, and successfully beat "Crazy Miami", and everyone's interest suddenly rose.

Of course, no matter what the results of "You at the Same Table" are, everyone knows that she cannot surpass "A Chinese Ghost Story", by this time, all the suspense has been revealed, and the only thing worth guessing is how far "A Chinese Ghost Story" can go?

……

"Awesome, wonderful, this week has been really ups and downs!" Shi Yingjie gave Bi Xia a thumbs up and said, "Director, we were like this back then, but now the box office is much higher than when we did, and it's only been a week." ”

"Okay, okay, you, such a big vinegar smell, why are you unwilling, there are fewer people who want to take the director's car in this scene now?" Zhou Bin did not hide his envy, jealousy and hatred, and angrily rejected Shi Yingjie.

"Hee hee ......" Wu Meizi has been full of spring breeze recently, and she finally tasted what it means to be red through half the sky. Now she has more topics than Bi Xia, although Bi Xia is popular, in the final analysis, she is only a director, a behind-the-scenes person, and she is the leading figure who attracts the public eye.

She is not the kind of artist who is arrogant and arrogant as soon as she breaks out, but as the box office gets higher and higher, her inner confidence is getting more and more, which can be seen from her acting process, becoming more and more comfortable and her aura is getting stronger and stronger. A lot of the time, she can even overshadow the actor Shi Yingjie.

"Bi Xia, I really can't imagine it, the momentum of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is so good, I always thought that I had a very high positioning for it, but I didn't expect it, it is still insufficient." Zhang Hailei said to Bi Xia with emotion during the shooting: "You said that our "Journey to the West" can go a lot? ”

"Uh......" Bi Xia was stunned, "Journey to the West" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are both classic films in the memory world, and they both have a group of crazy die-hard fans, which one is more classic. This is incomparable. In fact, the combined box office of the two parts of "Journey to the West" is more than 40 million, which is not lower than "A Chinese Ghost Story", or even a little higher.

Regarding Zhang Hailei's question, Bi Xia believes that "Journey to the West" is destined to become a milestone in domestic magic films in the history of Chinese films. His box office will inevitably surpass "A Chinese Ghost Story" by a lot. Because no matter in terms of director, actor, investment and other aspects, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is far inferior to it. This is a crime of non-war.

"I think at least a billion box office!" Bi Xia said in a firm tone.

"Haha, I thought so too, if there weren't a billion. We're going to lose a lot. Zhang Hailei laughed and said that he had confidence in himself and Bi Xia, and the success of "A Chinese Ghost Story" gave him great motivation. After all, I took advantage of your light, and you gave me a lot of help in this shooting. Zhang Hailei's slightly old hand pressed heavily on Bi Xia's shoulder, and during this period of shooting, he found that Bi Xia had his own opinions on directing, and the thinking and consciousness of young people brought him different inspiration.

"Director Zhang, don't say that, I want to study hard with you, I have benefited a lot during this time." Bixia stood up and bowed sincerely. If director Shao Dengyi is the enlightenment in the field of Bi Xia's directorship, then Zhang Hailei plays the role of the leader in Bi Xia's directorial career.

Studying the shooting style of a director, many people will, and the teachers in the school say that the head is the way, but why can't they become excellent directors? Because it's not just about you to understand, it's about knowing how to do it!

Zhang Hailei likes to shoot with a large number of white sketches, all of which are very plain life embodiments, giving people a sense of comfort and warmth that looks plain and unremarkable, but this comfort can feel a kind of shock from the theme of the movie. Zhang Hailei did not hide these techniques from Bi Xia, he would tell him his thoughts, and analyze the intention and effect of such shooting.

Secondly, Zhang Hailei and Bi Xia are very different in one point, he seeks to downplay the obvious contradictions and conflicts in the film. Conflict and contradiction are indispensable to the film, and it is not simply expressed as excesses in action and language. Zhang Hailei likes to use psychological or conscious performance, on the surface he is not shocked, but through some obscure lens language, people feel that a big war is going on.

Bi Xia, on the other hand, prefers to exacerbate the contradictions of the plot through some details, such as props, such as the background of the story, such as before and after behavior, etc. Not to mention which is strong and which is weak, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Hailei's way is like a gentle and mature man, which gave Bi Xia a lot of inspiration.

Another point is that his narrative style has always emphasized the continuous reincarnation of this same theme, and his films have always emphasized the imprisonment and breaking free in the battle. The same is true for "Journey to the West" filmed this time, although the script is almost born from the original version, and the story is basically the same, but Bi Xia believes that this is definitely not Liu Zhenwei's version, he is also nonsensical, the same profound, but it will be more shocking, this is the difference between the skills of the two directors.

The most important point is that Bi Xia has learned a lot of Hollywood-style narrative techniques from him, as a director with pursuit, and a young director who has been influenced by Hollywood movies since childhood, Hollywood is a place where he must go to break through, with this time Zhang Hailei teaching by hand, it will have an immeasurable effect on him in the future.

"Okay, let's stop boasting, let's hurry up and make progress, during this time, you and Wu Meizi often have to go out to promote, and the progress of the crew can't be slow." Zhang Hailei took out the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile. (To be continued......)
