Chapter 43: Peking University Lecture (6/47)
Many people say that Lu Chuan is a very talented director, especially the scene in his first movie "Looking for Guns", especially in the last scene, the scene where Jiang Wen was shot and left his body after being shot to death is beautiful...
Many viewers who have watched "The Gun Search" think this scene is simply a sublimation shot. How could there be such a talented director?
If you have watched the 1997 Japanese director Sabu's movie "The Legend of the Truth", there is also an exact same scene...
To put it more specifically, "Looking for Gun" is a work in 2002, and "Love of the Thieves of Faith" is from 1997.
It’s not that he plagiarized, how can he say plagiarism in the entertainment industry be a pure reference!
Some people commented on the three sentences of the country, which is very vivid.
‘This person likes to show off; this person is not good at showing off; people who can’t even do good at showing off will definitely not be able to make a good movie…’
That's really good!
...
Xu Hui expected that the same thing. As Xu Hui's incident of fighting on the mainland was fermented, or because of the reputation of "Those Years", the single-day box office closed at 29 million on May 8th, and on May 9th, the single-day box office won 27 million again, and on May 10th, Sunday, 20 million.
The box office closed at 167 million in the next week.
After eleven days of release, the cumulative box office was 350 million yuan, setting a new box office record for domestic movies - the previous box office record was 350 million yuan in "The Golden Armor in the City"...
Every step forward is a history of film!
Many media gave exclamation marks, but they unanimously determined that the box office potential of "Those Years" may have exceeded 400 million. After all, this is a youth film and has weak potential.
The light is already very satisfying.
According to the box office dividend of 400 million yuan, the two companies each received nearly 40 million yuan, which is more than doubled in just half a year compared to the investment of 15 million yuan.
The Huayi brothers are a bit unnatural. On the surface, of course they have to accept congratulations, after all, they make a big profit.
But this is just one-third of the dividend, what if they can invest 100%...
People are so unsatisfied.
Then, a message suddenly broke out online - Xu Hui was going to Peking University to give a speech!
Damn it!
Peking University speech!
April Fool's Day is over long ago.
Then many reporters went to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Xu Hui's agent Ms. He Xiaowen nodded and admitted, saying that Xu Hui was preparing a speech...
It shocked the media again.
Xu Hui, Peking University, speech…
What a thing? A high school graduate like Xu Hui - no, he doesn't have a diploma, and he can even give a speech at the highest institution?
Peking University’s status in the hearts of the people is not as simple as Teacher Zhang said, “Peking University is not bad”, or what Naoda said, “What is Peking University?”, that is the highest institution of learning!
Tsinghua University and Peking University are the two universities that the Chinese people trust the most!
The country's important weapon!
When can an entertainment industry even give a speech at Peking University?
These reporters were really fussing. Later generations used the reputation of famous schools to promote their movies. Isn’t this very common thing?
He forgot that this was 2009, not the era of the entertainment explosion in 2016!
...
The movie "Those Years" has been released eleven days ago, and the promotional and other things that should be done have been almost finished.
The rest is to accept media interviews or magazine interviews.
The artist himself can't hold on with too intensive publicity.
The publicity period is over, and it’s time for Sisi girls to go back to Shanghai. She is now filming "The Strange Hero Yizhimei". This promotion is just taking half a month off. If you don’t go back, the director will probably come to arrest people in person.
After all, she is also the heroine of "The Strange Hero Yizhimei".
When an actor wants to become popular, he pays attention to the right time and place. A movie or a character can make people remember you, and then you become famous!
Liu Sisi in "Those Years" is gentle and lovely. Although her acting skills are still a bit immature, she cannot resist the popularity of the movie itself. Sisi has become the second young actress after Liu Yifei who has a huge popularity among the people born in the 1985s.
Now no one uses the prefix like "Xiao Liu Yifei" to call Liu Sisi. Most of the names in the press releases and media are called "National School Beauty".
As far as Xu Hui knows, in just over ten days since the movie was released, Liu Sisi has received more than 20 scripts, all of which have invited her to play the role of "School Beauty".
Moreover, 80% of these scripts are youth films!
Obviously, those "smart people" have already set their sights on the theme of youth films.
Chinese people are good at following the trend, no, it should be said that film practitioners all over the world are good at following the trend. In the past few years, epic films in Hollywood were everywhere. When all major epic films were lost, the eight major Hollywood masterpieces realized that they should change their style. For a while, the popular dark superhero movies also waited until they lost a lot before they realized that they should change their style.
Even so in Hollywood, it is not surprising that our film market is following the trend at all!
But for actors, it is easy to get bored by the audience if they repeat a routine.
Especially for roles like "school beauties".
Sister Sisi obviously knew this, and she probably read these youth films, and she really didn’t have many good scripts, so she pushed them all.
Although the girl has been quiet and calm these days, she has some unconcealed mania, such as she actually tried to ride on Xu Hui, trying to test the woman to take the lead!
"You are now famous, but you are not as good as your representative work. Stay at Tang Jian with peace of mind. I heard that Tang Jian won the big ip of "Sharp Heart". If you can star in..."
The rising actress is indispensable in movies and TV series. Xu Hui doesn't want to destroy "Maltai Ruoxi"...
Sisi is still willing to take over Xu Hui's suggestion, so she returned to Hengcheng with peace of mind to shoot her "The Strange Hero Yizhimei"
...
For a domestic film, the box office can still be earned more than 20 million on the day of its release on eleven days. Xu Hui's "Those Years" has created a miracle.
There must be another explosive news, and the Peking University speech was a propaganda routine set by Xu Hui.
I did Jiubadao in later generations, and Xu Hui also wanted to do it once.
He told Huang Wen about this plan and asked him to contact him to practice. The latter looked confused and never expected Xu Hui to have such an idea. That's how Peking University, the highest institution of learning!
"Peking University is not good, but other universities are also good. It doesn't have to be Peking University..."
It's just a gimmick, Xu Hui never thought that Peking University would really agree!
When Huang Wen told him the news happily, Xu Hui was a little nervous for the first time in his life.
Chinese people have always respected people with culture and knowledge. As a university that specializes in nurturing these people, it is difficult for Peking University not to be daunting.
Since you really agree, then work hard!
‘Where should I start talking about it? I definitely can’t just talk about my own experience or movies. It must be combined to make people feel fun and learn something… Alas, it’s too difficult!’
Xu Hui was struggling to write a speech.
At this time, the phone rang, it was Zhao Liying, and the girl's first sentence was, "Director... Are you going to give a speech at Peking University?"
“…Yes, what’s wrong?”
Chapter completed!
