"I didn't think so much at the beginning."

Xu Hui picked up the tea and took another sip, and then said, "What I originally conceived was the protagonist Huang Feihong. First of all, Huang Feihong must be a kind and righteous master, a master of the generation, and the greatest hero, to serve the country and the people."

"Yes, unparalleled benevolence, this is what your movie shows!"

"No, I wasn't going to make the male lead so cowardly at the beginning. Have you watched my movie?"

"I saw it! It's such a sensation, how could I not watch it!"

Dou Wentao pinched his nose and didn't say anything. It was Liang Wendao who spoke...

Let's believe it for now.

"On Weibo, many fans scolded me for making Master Huang so miserable. They gave examples, saying that Master Huang caught a bad person, but the villagers refused to testify for him; they saved innocent people who were beaten, but the government calculated the accounts of offending Americans to him; they were under house arrest and surveillance by the government, but there were also martial artists who tried to become famous in one battle to kick the house; they finally sent away the warriors, but their beloved disciples decided to withdraw because of their powerlessness..."

"I really want to go and see it as soon as possible!"

"You really should go with me to watch it. The feeling of the screening room is different from watching a movie alone."

The two hosts quarrel on a daily basis...

"Mr. Jin Yong once asked a question through Qiu Qianren's mouth: Is it true that if you have the right to kill people's life and death?"

"This is a question that everyone will ask when the martial arts complex reaches a bottleneck. Just like today when we watch the scene of using martial arts to hit foreigners in the movie, will we ask whether this is promoting our country's power or is fantasizing about slapping the powers' powers?"

"Of course, the master is the master. He created a Hong Qigong! A moral yardstick that hates evil and never kills good people. Do you still remember what he said in that passage?"

"'No, the old beggar has killed 231 people in his life. All of these 231 people are evil people. If they are not corrupt officials, local tyrants, or tyrants, they are traitors and evil people, and are lucky. The old beggar has greedy for drinking and eating, but he has never killed a good person in his life. Qiu Qianren, you are 232 people!"

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with this passage, but after a little thought, I find that something is wrong! Look, Hong Qigong himself has the problem of theft, so can others kill him for this reason?"

Xu Hui raised this question, which made Dou Wentao and Liang Wendao a little speechless...

"So, my 'Huang Feihong' will never kill anyone! Even if he catches a bad person, his choice will be sent to the government."

Dou and Liang both looked quiet and focused. After hearing him stopping after saying this, Liang Wendao nodded and said, "It is more in line with the history of the time, and it is more in line with the psychology of the Chinese people at that time that Huang Feihong can represent."

Xu Hui smiled: "That's it. On the other hand, I think kung fu movies should be combined with the current background. After all, the current pattern has changed. When Mr. Li Xiaolong filmed "Jingwumen", Xiangjiang was a colony. To be honest, the people of Xiangjiang in that era were just second-class people. They had a hatred for foreigners. Therefore, simply dividing foreigners and Chinese people can arouse public attention."

"It's different now. The international landscape has changed. The gap between us and the Western world is shrinking. We don't hate foreigners so much..."

"Smack!"

Dou Wentao applauded: "I really didn't expect that you would need to think about so much about a drama."

"No, this is also what I analyzed afterwards. In fact, when I was shooting, I simply wanted to make a little bit of historical films and a little bit of vicissitudes of life!"

"So, it's called 'Chinese past'."

Liang Wendao nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip: "I heard that the idea of ​​the trilogy was from the beginning?"

"Yes, the first story takes place in Foshan, the second part takes place in Yuezhou City, and the third part is Beijing City."

"According to the ground, OK!"

Usually, guests come to "Qianqiang Threesomes", and basically they are performing two chattering performances by Dou Wentao and Liang Wendao. Several conversations may be arranged in the middle for the guests to say a few words. Unexpectedly, the whole episode almost became Xu Hui's personal talk show.

"Director Xu, have you watched a movie recently?"

"…I rarely have time to watch movies, but, if you say, if it is famous, my assistant will buy me a disc so that I can take the time to watch it."

Xu Hui explained what Ran didn't know what he thought.

"When Ip Man 2, what do you think is the difference between this movie compared to "Wang Feihong"? Why is the box office gap so big?"

Dou Wentao looked at Xu Hui with bad intentions and asked.

"...Maybe it's because Ip Man can't beat Wong Fei-hong? Well, I'm just kidding!"

...

The reason why "Ip Man 2" is not highly praised is mainly because in the last paragraph of the movie: Hong Zhennan and Ip Man fought with the Western boxing champion in a "tornado" battle, it was originally a very traditional revenge-style nationalist narrative, but the director deviated from the "conventional" plot development and arranged an Ip Man speech at the end, which actually reversed this traditional, revenge-style, yellow-style anti-"sick man" victory over the whites into a Western-style declaration of human rights that calls for racial equality, mutual respect and understanding, and received applause and cheer from British audiences, which completely disappeared.

The ambiguous attitude towards British colonial rule reflected in this plot treatment reflects that the post-colonial nostalgia of post-colonialism has become a popular trend of thought in Xiangjiang society a few days ago.

So, after watching "Ip Man 2", we feel awkward, because the director's butt is crooked!

The director's butt is crooked, so the movie will definitely not be able to get upright!

...

The promotion of Xiangjiang ends here.

The next day, the crew of "Huang Feihong" returned to the capital.

In the business class, Tong Liya read the newspaper in a low voice: 'The movie "Huang Feihong" is directed by mainland director Xu Hui. It was released for one month and won 52 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. It is temporarily ranked as the box office champion of Chinese films in 10 years. It is worth mentioning that in 2009, the director of Chinese films in Hong Kong was also Xu Hui. It is hard to imagine that mainland directors can actually make commercial films that match the Hong Kong flavor. The author can't help but ask, what's wrong with our Hong Kong directors...'

"Okay, stop reading, the words reveal a superior meaning. I have a bad impression of Xiangjiang, so why don't I open my eyes and look at it?"

"Do you know how I lived in Hong Kong a few years ago?"

Wu Jing said with a wry smile.

"…By the way, Brother Jing, I'm going to find Zhang Jing in "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing".

"Zhang Jing? He is not bad!"

Wu Jing thought about it for a while, nodded, and recognized Zhang Jing.

"Do you know him?"

"I'm not very familiar with each other, but I've met you. After all, we are both mainlanders and we are working hard in Xiangjiang at the same time..."

"You know?"

Xu Hui lowered his voice.

"What do you know?"

"Brother Chao will no longer play Liang Kuan..."

"Well, he told me that day."

"I'm going to find a new face."

"Okay, you are the director, you have the final say!"

Wu Jing nodded, and the change of roles was solved.

Big-name directors and big-name actors are in the same crew, and many things must be nodded by both parties.

It is true that Wu Jing received a 12 million yuan salary for this movie "Men Should Be Self-reliant", but the role of Huang Feihong is the one who must be at this stage. He can offer a higher price. After all, even the pay for Tong Liya, the actor of the Thirteenth Aunt, has increased to 3 million.

Judging from the current situation, the box office of the first part of "Huang Feihong" should be around 760 million in China, and the overseas results can achieve at least 80 million US dollars.

In Europe, the box office in France, Germany and the UK was about 20 million US dollars, and South Korea and Japan had another 20 million US dollars. North America closed at $7 million for the first week. When only 500 screens opened on the first day, according to the market feedback information obtained by Disney, the box office of "Wong Fei-Hong" is likely to win more than $30 million in North America...

Coupled with the already booming box office in Southeast Asia, the box office has swept up 72 million US dollars of overseas box office results.
