Chapter 490: Two Extremes

At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed.

As the topic of the Spring Festival Gala gradually passed, the entertainment industry gradually returned to normal.

Although Zhou Yi Film and Television has continued to make excellent works this year, because of the film publicity strategy, it accidentally avoided the schedule at the end of the year.

This originally made a group of peers in the circle quite happy, thinking that the opportunity had finally come.

But I don't know what's going on, this year's New Year and Spring Festival stalls are quite lackluster.

You must know that in previous years, the competition for the Chinese New Year was fierce, but the quality of the movies was still good.

But the few movies that started this year have a bad reputation.

Since the release of Feng Xiaogang's "Private Custom", audiences and film critics have been complaining that he is frying cold rice, eating too ugly, and making a joke collection.

But although the scolding is endless, the box office of the movie is getting higher and higher day by day, and the box office is about to be 700 million, which really makes the peers in the circle a little incomprehensible.

This year's magic blockbuster "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", which represents Hong Kong films, is also.

The complaining has not stopped, but the box office has fluttered over one billion, which makes director Zheng Baorui really happy.

You must know that his best single-film score before this did not exceed 50 million.

Even nine out of ten of all the films before him are horror films and ghost movies, and he is not a mainstream commercial director at all.

But a "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" completely increased his status in the circle, and he became a great director of Xiangjiang who can sit on an equal footing with Xu Ke, Xing Ye and others.

I have to say that the entertainment industry is so realistic, and the box office is everything.

But then again, in this year's Chinese New Year and Spring Festival files, the performance of mainland movies is really stretched.

Almost all Hong Kong films are singing a one-man show.

Although Brother Cheng Long's "Police Story 2013" did not perform as expected, the box office barely got 273 million, and the reputation was not satisfactory.

But "Sweeping Drugs" starring Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, and Zhang Jiahui is very good.

Even after Gao Fei watched the film, he couldn't help but go to the movie to buy tickets to support it.

I also took a photo in the theater and posted it on my neck to help promote it.

Although in terms of the overall environment, the Hong Kong circle and the mainland film and television industry are competitive.

But good movies deserve to be treated as such.

At least Gao Fei would rather watch "Sweeping Drugs" than bother to watch Teng Huatao's completely unknown "Waiting for the Wind to Come".

How so...... Jing Bairan's performance was surprisingly good, and Ni Ni was barely okay.

Only director Teng Huatao has become the biggest failure of the whole movie, and he is dragging his feet.

As Gao Fei said at the beginning, when he broke away from the script of "33 Days of Broken Love", his level was revealed.

But Teng Huatao himself has no self-knowledge.

Even Gao Fei felt that he might think that he was particularly talented, and the reason why he didn't get up before was just because luck had not come.

So Director Teng, who thought he was a genius, spent all his talent to finally come up with such a hypocritical and contrived movie!

Although under the guise of a dream, the plot is completely scattered.

Dreams, happiness, faith, life, redemption, I feel that he wants to talk about everything, but none of them can be said clearly.

Because in Tengdao's understanding, the so-called purification of the soul is nothing more than a trip to Nepal.

It can be said that this "Waiting for the Wind" completely exposes Teng Huatao's shallowness.

In fact, there is a sentence in this film that is particularly suitable for him - "Don't toss around, it's useless!" ”

……

"Boss, your comment yesterday was too poisonous."

Early the next morning, when Gao Fei arrived at the company, Han Li couldn't help but complain:

"Although Teng Huatao is not a character, why should there be one more enemy for no reason."

Seeing her say this, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and immediately sighed helplessly:

"Isn't that too much to drink, be sure to pay attention next time! Be careful! ”

Anyway, Gao Fei originally went to Yu Feihong's birthday banquet last night.

Because they are all friends from the film and television industry, they can't help but talk about some recent things in the circle after drinking.

And on Yu Feihong's birthday, Gao Fei naturally drank a little too much.

So I couldn't help it for a while, so I complained about Teng Huatao and "Waiting for the Wind".

Of course, with his status in the circle, no one dares to record a video.

After all, even if this kind of thing spreads, it won't have any impact on Goofy.

Maybe even win the favor of netizens for Goofy.

So Goofy's happiness is a bit blunt.

(⊙o⊙)… No, it's subtle.

In Han Li's words, it was simply a cold sweat for unrelated people to listen to it.

And if Goofy is an ordinary actor or director, forget it.

This remark may be regarded as drunken nonsense and directly overturned.

But who made him "Goofy"!

Whether his peers in the circle like him or not, they have to admit his strength in film and television production.

and his vision of picking scripts and directors.

After all, Ning Hao, Wu Ershan, Xue Xiaolu, Yu Feihong and others are the best proof.

Especially Yu Feihong!

You must know that after Yu Feihong failed in "Love Has an Afterlife", he had no confidence.

But Gao Fei dared to use her to shoot "To Youth".

In the end, it didn't happen.

A "To Youth" put Yu Feihong on the throne of the highest-grossing female director in Chinese films.

So last night, when Gao Fei found out about his state under Yu Feihong's reminder, he immediately woke up.

But even if he repeatedly explained that he had drunk too much just now, it was completely drunken nonsense.

But none of the people present dared to joke with him.

Even the more he explained, the more the old foxes thought that he had just drunk and spit out the truth.

So I don't know why, Gao Fei's evaluation of Teng Huatao spread in the upper echelons of the film and television industry.

"A third-rate director, second-rate luck, first-class dumping"

Tsk~ It's just a hit on the head!

I heard that Tenghuatao had several projects that had reached a preliminary intention that night.

Major film and television companies directly pulled him into the blacklist.

It turned out that there was a local tyrant who was engaged in finance and was ready to invest in him to make a science fiction film.

But after hearing the news from a friend, I was so frightened that I ran away with the safe overnight.

It can be said that this wave of Tenghuatao can be regarded as hating Gao Fei to death.

But even after listening to Han Li say these gossip, Gao Fei didn't pay much attention to it.

Although he was also a little embarrassed to hurt Teng Huatao by mistake for a while, he didn't tell a lie.

And Gao Fei did not use his and Zhou Yi's influence to block Teng Huatao.

If others are willing to trust his judgment, what can he do?

So, if you talk about it from the perspective of survival of the fittest.

So Gao Fei can only be regarded as accelerating the process of Teng Huatao's elimination from the film and television industry.

After all, even if he didn't fly high, he would definitely not be able to escape this result in the future!

……

……

There's an old saying:

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

Compared with the arrogant and conceited Teng Huatao, Guo Fan is simply the other extreme.

Since talking to Gao Fei a year ago, Guo Fan went back and meditated for a long time, and finally reluctantly came up with a solution.

Indeed, his directorial resume is not convincing.

Whether it is "The Adventures of Li Xianji" or "You at the Same Table", they can only pale in the face of the terrifying investment of "The Wandering Earth".

Therefore, in order to convince Gao Fei, Guo Fan made an extremely scientific and detailed shooting plan.

Divide the big goal into countless smaller goals and invest in stages.

During this period, Zhou Yi has the right to stop and change the director at any time.

So as to ensure that the initial investment of the project will not be in vain to the greatest extent.

And once such a situation occurs, Guo Fan voluntarily waives all due rights and interests in the preliminary design work, and does not need any remuneration.

It can be said that he doesn't want anything, and even doesn't hesitate to work without any guarantees, and just wants to make this hard science fiction successful.

How so...... Although for Gao Fei, Guo Fan's remuneration is nothing.

But he nodded in the end.

Because from this project book, he saw enough perseverance and determination.

And that's what Goofy values most.

After all, although he can provide money and special effects technology, it is only an external thing.

If you really want to support such a hardcore sci-fi film project that can be called the largest investment in China, the director must have a strong will and be able to withstand unimaginable pressure.

Because once even the director himself is shaken, no matter how good the technology and money provided by Gao Fei are, he will not be able to make any good movies.

Of course, although Guo Fan himself is willing to work for free, Gao Fei is not so picky.

Therefore, after convening the production department and Guo Fan to jointly formulate a preparatory plan, Gao Fei announced the six film projects on Zhou Yi's official website.

So suddenly one stone stirred up a thousand waves.
