Chapter 43: Best Director (I)

"The wish has come true, thank you to every fan, and by the way, I look forward to "Wolf Warrior 3"..."

The box office of "Kung Fu" surpassed that of "Wolf Warrior 2", Xiaobai immediately posted a Weibo, not forgetting to provoke Wu Jing...

He wants to keep a low profile, but he can't keep a low profile!

The top five box office records in mainland film history, "Kung Fu", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Judge of the Dead", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Jiupin Sesame Official" 、...

He alone occupies four seats!

As for the top ten, you have to add "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Truman's World"...

Already a veritable king of the box office!

Now no one doubts Xiaobai's status in the mainland film circle!

The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor in the downtown no one asks. It's just obvious in Vanity Fair.

At the beginning, the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" was deserted, and in addition to the cast and crew of "Wolf Warrior 2", the biggest star was Guo Degang, who still came for the donkey whip.

When "Wolf Warrior 2" broke through the 3 billion mark, Wu Jing's phone was blown up.

Baoqiang and Dehua both came to book the roles of "Wolf Warrior 3", and Li Chen and Fan Ye, who had said that they were not available, came to take advantage of the situation, because they were both military themes, Fan Ye wanted to use the east wind of "Wolf Warrior 2" to push "Sky Hunting" into the sky.

Xiaobai is no exception, "Kung Fu" broke a new record in mainland film history, and a group of third-tier stars who can't beat the eight poles also came to gain popularity...

So, Xiaobai refused all interviews on the grounds of preparing for the Golden Globe Awards.

Of course, only Fujitsu Entertainment was left...

……

"Surprised?"

“… A little fine, no hi... Why are you here? ”

At Los Angeles Airport, Xiaobai looked at Liu Yifei excitedly a little speechlessly.

"I'm here to promote Mulan!"

“… When is it on? ”

"Next month, what's wrong?"

Xiaobai's face was expressionless: ""Knocking on the Door of Heaven" will be released at the end of the month! ”

"It's okay, you're a comedy, the genre is different, and the viewing doesn't overlap."

“… What did you call me for? ”

Taking Lao Liu's suitcase, Xiaobai pushed it away, and asked while looking up.

"Please, this is the United States, I don't know the place well..."

", you're an American, and you're embarrassed that you're not familiar with life? When I'm an idiot? ”

“… I didn't bring an assistant! ”

"Is the hotel booked? I'll take you to the hotel! ”

“… Which hotel do you stay in? ”

"Me? I live in Hilton... No, if you're here to advertise, Disney will arrange accommodation! ”

Lao Liu answered directly: "Coincidentally, I also live in Hilton, let's go!" ”

"Wait, I'll have to pick up a few people."

Lao Liu's face changed slightly: "Who to pick up?" Yang Lan? ”

"No, it's a reporter from Fujisun Entertainment, I asked them to come over to follow up and report, and I have a lot of confidence that I will win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director."

There is nothing to hide, Xiaobai told the truth.

"Really?"

"What do you say, in the past half month, I have drunk stomach cramps..."

"Then I'll wait with you, there's a café over there, go in and sit for a while."

"Okay..."

Looking at the time, there were still two and a half hours before the next flight arrived...

……

After asking for two cups of Americano, Xiaobai took a sip and almost couldn't help but vomit.

It's so bitter!

"How's the new album?"

"Well, it's a bit difficult, the requirements of the teacher are too strict..."

Liu Yifei frowned.

Xiaobai's conscience suggested: "In fact, a singer like you, who can't go up the treble, can't go down the bass, and can't get the alto, is most suitable for singing the opening and ending songs of some movies, and the album is too time-consuming..."

", you think it's all like you? Incomplete pentatonic sound? ”

"What are you kidding, I'm not full of five tones? "Man on the Moon" won the North American Music Guild Award for Best Score! ”

"Did you sing it?"

"Soundtrack, no singing required..."

The soundtrack is very important to the film, expressing the mood and thoughts of the characters, expressing the atmosphere of the environment, and so on.

After all, movies are not, and many things that can be explained clearly in a few words are not so easy to present on the screen, because they can be expressionless performances, and the actors can make no expressions and movements or slight movements, which are difficult to distinguish from the picture. At this time, music can be used to express his mood and thoughts at that time.

At this time, the soundtrack plays a role in storytelling, and its importance is on a par with the lines and actions.

But not all movies use music like this.

Generally speaking, the more commercial the film, the more likely it is to use it, because it makes it easy for the audience to understand the characters.

And those art films often do not consider whether the audience can easily understand the characters, they prefer not to directly explain the mood of the characters to the audience, but let the audience understand for themselves...

Of course, the average art film can't afford a soundtrack, so you can only go to other movies to capture a little ready-made soundtrack...

"Congratulations yet, "Kung Fu" is a big hit at the box office!"

“… Alas, I don't even know what to do now, if "Shaolin Football" doesn't compare to "Kung Fu" at the box office, I should be in pain..."

In fact, although these achievements made him very proud, it was more of the pressure, the weight of the burden on his shoulders, and the expectations of countless Chinese people.

He has not yet reached thirty, and he is not allowed to lie on the merit book and eat the old book, so he can only continue to create greater brilliance.

However, Xing Ye's works are almost there, and they are really not enough for him to squander...

I want to be original, but unfortunately, with the first halo in the directorial industry on my head, I am not allowed to hand over an unqualified answer sheet...

Lao Liu: "Or, how many years will you rest?" ”

“… How many years off? Are you kidding? ”

If he stops, what will happen to the studio?

"Look at you... All have gray hair! ”

A trace of distress flashed in Lao Liu's eyes...

"Gray hair? Are you sure? Fast... Pull it out for me! ”

Damn, Lao Tzu is only twenty-eight, how can he have white hair?

"Then don't move!"

reminded him, leaned forward slowly, reached over with one hand, stretched out two slender fingers, picked up a strand of hair on Xiaobai's forehead, found the white one from it, and then pulled it down sharply.

The scalp hurt slightly, and Xiaobai couldn't help blinking: "There are really white hairs!" ”

"Decay before you get old!"

“… It's just a few gray hairs, how can it be so exaggerated? ”

"You've got crow's feet!"

“… Exaggeration! You think I'm you? ”

", I don't have crow's feet!"

Lao Liu is very dissatisfied, don't praise a thirty-year-old actress for her beautiful crow's feet at any time...

"By the way, you will go with me at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony in two days!"

"Me? Is it appropriate? ”

“… What's inappropriate, just to promote "Mulan"! ”

"I'll talk to the person in charge of Disney..."

"Hmm... Why haven't they come yet? What time is it? ”

I raised my hand and looked at my watch, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon...

Lao Liu also looked at the time: "... I'll go first, there's a party to attend in the evening! ”

"Wait, I'll send you!"

"No need, I'll just take a taxi myself..."
