Because the fact that he made a movie by himself has not been recognized by the public.

Most people still regard him as the comedian Stephen Chow in that memory, and the first reaction of few people to him is that of a film director.

Although Xu Hengzhou is now filming in his own crew, he may be more recognized as a director.

But if Xu Hengzhou wants to learn how to be a qualified director.

It's definitely not the best choice for yourself.

Stephen Chow had the heart to ask Xu Hengzhou's thoughts.

But when he saw Xu Hengzhou's really serious and sincere expression, he felt that there was nothing to worry about about these things.

Xu Hengzhou wants to learn, and he does not resist the many people who instructed him in the process of filming.

Then this thing can go on.

So Stephen Chow nodded and didn't say anything, but directly supported Xu Hengzhou to start doing things.

For Xu Hengzhou, it is not that there is no better choice than Stephen Chow.

But he had just figured out what he was supposed to do, and of course he had to execute it immediately.

At the moment, this crew can't be missed.

If the crew and Stephen Chow cooperate relatively tacitly, then he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to serve as an assistant director in the real sense of the word to the crew of "Mermaid".

So he is very serious and meticulous about what Stephen Chow asks him to do, and he can be called a conscientious studio worker.

Sometimes the reason why people feel anxious and empty is simply because they are idle.

And when you have a goal, your time is filled with those things that need to be done in order to achieve the goal, you will find that you simply have no time to be anxious, and the days go by in a flash.

Xu Hengzhou watched Huang Bo's performance in front of the camera and shouted at the speaker:

"This one over again. I wanted to be a little lighter. ”

Huang Bo nodded, rubbed his face, and after a minute, he made an OK gesture with Xu Hengzhou.

Xu Hengzhou received Huang Bo's signal, raised the horn again, counted silently in his heart for three seconds, and after Huang Bo was in place, he shouted "start shooting".

In the past few months, he has been running up and down behind Stephen Chow, helping to do things, and the results have been good.

He had a clearer understanding of the crew, and at the same time, he also helped shoot several scenes and pictures under the guidance of Stephen Chow.

In recent weeks, he has occasionally been tasked with Stephen Chow, allowing him to shoot more than a minute of film clips on his own.

For example, now.

And his shooting style is completely different from Stephen Chow.

Although he is an actor by profession, he does not use acting to guide other actors to film.

On the contrary, he belongs to that emotional stream.

It's that he will point out this point very precisely, what kind of emotion he wants.

As for how and what kind of performance style you use to express this emotion, that's the actor's own business.

As long as he can convey his emotions clearly, no matter what he looks like, Xu Hengzhou can accept it.

It is not the first time that Huang Bo has cooperated with Xu Hengzhou as an actor and director in the past few months.

So when I heard Xu Hengzhou mention emotions, I immediately knew what Xu Hengzhou wanted.

In terms of emotions this time, according to his understanding of Xu Hengzhou, he made corresponding adjustments, and sure enough, Xu Hengzhou did not say that he wanted to re-shoot this scene, even if it was over.

After Huang Bo finished filming this scene, he didn't shoot the next scene, and Xu Hengzhou didn't shoot the next scene.

Both of them were idle at the same time.

During this time, once the two of them had free time at the same time, Huang Bo always liked to pull Xu Hengzhou to chat.

The focus is to express envy for Xu Hengzhou.

Huang Bo felt that Xu Hengzhou was worthy of being a young man, and he dared to think and do many things, and he didn't have long since he entered the industry, and he wanted to lean on the director's side.

Oh, and of course, most actors will have this idea when they find themselves in the crew under a lot of the director's constraints, and even sometimes become the director's marionette.

I want to be the director myself and control the entire crew.

But few actors who have just been in the industry for a few years will put it into action, and most actors may take 20 or 30 years before they really get involved in directing.

And Xu Hengzhou is very different, he not only has this idea, but also has a very strong sense of action, and he directly learned from Stephen Chow in the crew of "Journey to the West".

and also let Stephen Chow relax a lot of permissions for him through his own efforts, so that he can really shoot a short plot independently.

Huang Bo also has the idea of becoming a director.

But his idea has always been to wait for himself to accumulate more contacts in the entertainment industry, get more resources, and have enough funds, shoot a movie independently, and then enter the industry through this movie, and slowly turn to the background and become a director.

He never thought of using his next films as an actor to learn from the directors in the crew of these films, and even participate in the creation of these films.

Xu Hengzhou's approach simply opened the door to a new world for him.

So during this time, he chatted with Xu Hengzhou from time to time.

It's not so much to express envy, but more to understand Xu Hengzhou's true thoughts about doing this, so as to add some momentum and courage to implement his ideas immediately.

After Xu Hengzhou felt this, he remembered that Huang Bo did shoot a movie after that, and the quality of that movie was also very good.

Of course, there are also many negative reviews.

But compared to the transformation of other actors, the director's debut film can't make a splash, this movie can really be called a very qualified debut movie.

He remembers that the film was released in 2018 and shot in 2017.

That will have to wait until six years from now.

And what he meant when he heard Huang Bo was that he actually had the idea of making a movie 3 or 4 years ago, and even said that he had even thought about some of the general framework themes of the movie.

Especially from the end of 2010 to the first half of this year, Huang Bo's concept of this movie has become clearer in his mind.

Xu Hengzhou listened carefully to Huang Bo's thoughts, and compared them with the movie "A Good Show", and found that the general theme was similar.

I'm afraid that Huang Bo is going to make this movie.

But Huang Bo never thought of really filming this movie in the past few years.

Xu Hengzhou asked Huang Bo why.

But he just subconsciously wanted to listen to Huang Bo's thoughts and chat.

But in fact, he already has a preset in his heart, and the answer to this question is nothing more than that it is not yet time.

Because for an actor, it is actually very difficult to transform into a director to shoot a movie.

There are all kinds of difficulties to face, and the psychological pressure is also very high.

If you don't do it well, you don't usually do it.

You know, if the transformation fails, then he is likely to suffer a ridicule from the director's failure when he retreats to the identity of an actor.

This can greatly affect the reputation of an actor who is still successful in his acting career.

But to Xu Hengzhou's great surprise, the reason given by Huang Bo turned out to be very simple, and it did not involve the serious price that the transformation might have to pay.

He just said: "I don't have any money left to make movies!" ”

"Huh?"

Xu Hengzhou was surprised.

Huang Bo calculated an account for Xu Wenzhong very down-to-earth.

Highlights how much it costs him to support his family.

and how much he can be paid for making a film now, as well as some endorsement fees.

Although he is an actor, he mainly makes movies.

For movies like this, you can pick up two movies a year at most.

What's more, Huang Bo said that with his own appearance, it is difficult to get a suitable role.

In fact, some high-paid advertising endorsements rarely look for powerful actors, and they basically look for idols to endorse.

So he is now in a state where he has savings and surplus, and can bring a good life to his family.

But it's too hard to save money to make a movie.

Xu Hengzhou asked Huang Bo: "How much money do you plan to spend on the movie in your heart?" ”

Huang Bo sighed: "How can you get 100 million?" ”

Xu Hengzhou sighed even more: "That's really a long, long time to save." ”

To be honest, although he made the movie "Old Boy", in fact, Lin Lin finally came down to about 100 million.

Even the sum of all the film and television works he invested in before has already far exceeded 100 million.

But that's because of Liu Yiqian's participation, I'm afraid he really can't save so much money by himself.

Especially after Xu Hengzhou invests in a film and television work and has a profit, he will continue to invest in the next film and television work.

So he doesn't have much cash left on him right now.

can very deeply understand the problem of Huang Bo's difficulty in saving money.

However, although Xu Hengzhou has no money, the three movies "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", "33 Days of Broken Love", and "Old Boy" are about to be released one after another!

Once it is released, this flow of funds can be reversed.

Therefore, Xu Hengzhou felt that it was time for him to consider the following projects.

"The Mermaid" is one of those projects.

And "The Devotion of Suspect X", which he talked to Su Youpeng about before, should also be one of the projects.

And another project, Xu Hengzhou thinks it can be "A Good Show".

You must know that although the cost of this movie is quite high, the box office has also reached one billion, which is completely a big money-making movie.

Xu Hengzhou thought of this and didn't beat around the bush, and asked Huang Bo directly:

"Then did you make this movie and accept other people's investment?"

When Huang Bo heard Xu Hengzhou ask, he instantly understood.

Since Xu Hengzhou is interested in investing in his films!

Although Huang Bo has not decided to shoot this movie in the next two years, although it was just a second ago.

But after hearing that Xu Hengzhou was interested in investing, he immediately called this movie, which was still in its infancy, "his movie".

Because he's really a little excited.

Originally, he didn't actually think about relying entirely on his own money to invest in making a movie.

However, in the past few years, he has also successively tested some investors, and found that most investors still have certain concerns about the transformation of actors into directors and filming.

Especially when these actors who intend to transform into directors want to shoot things, the amount of investment required is very large, and the story is particularly profound.

These investors instantly have a feeling that they are wronged.

Because of this kind of high-investment, the film with profound content is not to mention an actor who has never been a director and has shot a movie independently.

Even those very senior directors are extremely cautious about this kind of shooting project.

Because after the combination of the two characteristics of high investment and deep core, the possibility of low box office accounts for sixty or seventy percent......

Therefore, when Huang Bo finished talking about the investment amount of the movie he wanted to shoot and the general content of the movie at the beginning of something like "I have a friend", the feedback he got was all merciless rejection.

Huang Bo feels that sometimes he is not without that kind of decisive execution and courage, but the reality is too helpless and powerless.

But when he heard Xu Hengzhou's question at this time, he was excited and excited, and suddenly realized that he was probably not so decisive and did not have so much courage.

Even if Xu Hengzhou really plans to invest, does he have the courage to immediately transform into a director and shoot his own works?

Huang Bo hesitated, he paused for three or four seconds, and then sighed:

"I'm in need of investment, but there are some things I haven't figured out yet."

Xu Hengzhou felt Huang Bo's entanglement, he didn't say anything, but took out two movie tickets from his pocket and handed them to Huang Bo:

"Brother Bo, you are still happily married, right?"

Huang Bo: ???

The topic changed so quickly that he was a little confused.

“…… I'm happy. ”

Xu Hengzhou laughed:

"It's over, Brother Bo, you actually hesitated when answering this question, and you still thought about it!

I'm going to tell my sister-in-law to prepare a washboard for you at home and wait for you to go back and kneel. ”

Huang Bo: ......

He glanced at Xu Hengzhou: "Are you on the same level as your family status?" ”

Xu Hengzhou: ???!!!

He coughed, took out a few movie tickets from his pocket, and handed them to Huang Bo:

"Whether the marriage is happy or not, I think you can watch this movie, this movie is about marriage.

It's a movie I invested in before, and it's going to be released in a few days, this is a universal movie ticket for the movie, and you can watch any show you want. ”

Huang Bo glanced at the movie ticket.

He knows that Xu Hengzhou has invested in a lot of movies, and he is a relatively high-profile investor in the entertainment industry.

Of course, it is mainly inseparable from Xu Hengzhou's identity as an actor.

As an actor, everything you do is more eye-catching.

But this "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", he really hadn't heard of it before.
