Speaking of which, the person who took over the role of Liang Kuan was Mo Shaocong, who... was very embarrassing!
Of course he became famous. At his peak, he was called the second King Liu. In "The Legend of Fire Clouds", he was the male lead. Who was playing with him? Lin Qingxia!
"Best Son-in-law" plays the first male lead, and Zhang Xueyou and Zhou Xingchi can only be his supporting roles. It was his most glorious time.
After that, I became more and more confused and I was not lucky!
Then, the incident of abandoning his son was revealed, and he also took drugs...
Completely disappearing in the circle...
"What you said makes sense, let's do this. If I delete and modify some of the plots, your feelings for Aunt Thirteen can only be mentioned obscurely at most, and you must not express them clearly. How about it?"
After listening to Zhou Yiwei's accusation, Paohui felt that he was indeed a little lacking in consideration.
It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the thoughts of Mr. Xu. Maybe he added this passage to pay tribute to "The Return of the Condor Heroes"?
Or maybe it is to compensate Mo Shaocong?
After all, when he was filming "Huang Feihong", he was quite popular, so he couldn't have so few scenes...
"Thank you, director, I can't get through this plot, so..."
Zhou Yiwei didn't expect Xu Hui to be so easy to talk to, and he really listened to his opinion!
In theory, Xu Hui is the most popular director at this stage. What is his Zhou Yiwei?
Just a young actor who has only been in the industry for a few years...
In fact, he kept these words in his heart. He originally planned to be buried in his heart forever, but he didn't expect that the director could see at a glance that he seemed a little confused about the role.
"...It's okay, everyone is doing it for the film. If you understand it smoothly, the characters will be better understood. When the filming comes, it will be much smoother!"
Paohui waved his hand indifferently.
To be honest, although he doesn't like actors to contradict his own opinions, he can still listen to the correct opinions, and no one can guarantee that he will always be the most correct one...
"Then director, I'll go back first..."
"Well, go back and have a good rest. There will be your show tomorrow!"
Xu Hui nodded, and Zhou Yi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute, Yiwei, there's something..."
Paohui suddenly thought of something.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yiwei turned his head and looked at Xu Hui with a little nervousness. He was still a little worried that the director would change his mind temporarily...
"Have you seen "The Embroidered Spring Sword"?"
“…Well, I’ve seen it.”
"Okay, you go back first. When the movie ends, we'll talk about the others!"
Xu Hui smiled and left first.
"The Biography of Ding Xiu in the Embroidered Spring Sword" is a movie that Xu Hui once conceived. He was originally planning to star in it himself, but now that with Zhou Yiwei, let's leave it to him!
...
In North America, the summer season has always been a time for large crowds to gather.
Last year, the total box office revenue of North America from May to August exceeded US$4 billion, accounting for nearly half of the annual revenue. It can be said that this is the most precious period in North America, and almost all the most exciting entertainment movies in the year will be released during the summer.
This is not only a fierce period of time, but also a must-fight for production companies.
The summer season of 2010, "Iron Man 2", "Shrek Monster 4", "Tianlong Special Attack Team", "Toy Story 3", "Twilight 3: Lunar Eclipse", "Inception", "Agent Shaot", "Witcher Apprentice", "Inception", "Kung Fu Dream"...
It is already July in time, and almost all the above annual blockbusters have been released.
The effect is similar to what you expected. Except for "The Witcher Apprentice", the production cost of 150 million yuan, the box office and reputation are all bad. Uncle Cage's title of the king of bad movies is completely unavailable!
It’s strange that there are many outdated Hollywood stars like Uncle Cage, but few of them are like him. Almost every movie he participates in can be introduced to the mainland...
"Tianlong Special Attack Team", forget it, let's not mention it...
Of course, the North American market's summer performance was still very impressive, with the total box office reaching US$1.5 billion throughout June, setting a new record.
The first edition of "Hollywood Reporter" in July introduces the top 20 movies in the box office. The editor Jenny is responsible for data statistics and editor.
The first place is of course "Toy Story 3", after all, it is an animated film that accompanied the American 1990s!
Next is "Iron Man 2", and Robert Downey Jr.'s charm is unstoppable...
Ranked 16th is a movie called "oneuponatimeinhina", "Chinese Past"?
Box office, $47 million…
Jenny is a little strange, which company's movie is this?
Why is there no news?
After checking the information carefully, the publisher was Disney!
Strangely, when did Disney style this live-action movie with China as its theme?
Do they think the miracle of "Mulan" can continue to be performed?
After taking a closer look, Jenny didn't even know any of them!
"Peter..."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you know this "The Past of China"?"
Jenny called her assistant, Pete.
"…I don't know much. This movie won the Jury Choice Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's also a kung fu movie! I have a friend who has watched this movie. Do you want to ask him?"
"…No, I'll call and ask the Disney person in charge!"
The Hollywood Reporter can be said to be the most professional film-related magazine in the United States. It has a good relationship with various film and television companies. As one of the editors of the magazine, Jenny has contacted the distribution leaders of major film and television companies.
After hanging up the phone, Jenny sent a text message to her friend, Thompson, a staff member of the Disney Distribution Department. She chatted briefly and Jenny went straight to the topic, what was the situation of the movie "The Past of China".
Thompson took the initiative to call and gave a detailed introduction to everything he knew.
Jenny took the phone away from her ear again with a puzzled look.
Listening to Thompson's introduction, this "The Past of China" was directed by a young Chinese director. It shone brightly after the screening in Cannes. The six major Hollywood majors expressed interest in the film. In the end, the director chose to cooperate with Disney and handed over the screening rights in North America and Europe to Disney.
Disney did not pay much attention to it at the beginning, but was just produced and distributed according to the general B-level production and distribution, and it was targeted at cities where Chinese people lived, such as Los Angeles, New York and so on.
Unexpectedly, the reputation of the movie is surprisingly good. Not only Chinese people like it very much, but many Americans are particularly obsessed with it. In the first week of release, they earned $7 million in box office. So, in the second week, Disney decided to expand the range of screenings, and the effect was very good. The box office in the second week reached $24 million; in the third week, the box office fell, but it still had $16 million. Now that the movie has not yet been down, the cumulative box office has been 47 million...
Disney has decided to extend the screening cycle. According to their estimates, the box office of this movie is likely to reach between $00,000!
"The director's name is Xu Hui..."
