Chapter 8 Declaration of War

"Wow! That's 30 million..."

Odie was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim.

"In fact, the value of an actor, that is, the salary mainly depends on his market recognition. Let's take Wu Jing as an example. There are two dramas now, one is an action film starring Wu Jing, and the other is a Hong Kong film. Xie Tingfeng is the protagonist. As the audience, who will you choose to watch?"

Xu Hui asked bluntly.

Wang Han was a little stunned.

This thing is obviously beyond the outline.

Speaking of which, "New Shaolin Temple" seems to be released on the same day as "Men Should Strengthen Self-Strength"!

The starring actors happen to be Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing!

This is simply a barely declared war!

“…I must have watched both.”

Odie resumed.

"That's probably because you're special!"

Xu Hui smiled and looked at him, then explained: "With the foundation of "Huang Feihong", in fact, we are confident that the global box office of "Men should strengthen themselves" will exceed 400 million US dollars. As the starring actor, Wu Jing's salary must be worthy of this box office!"

"Director, why didn't Brother Wu come?"

Tian Yuan asked suddenly.

“…He has something else to do!”

This is nonsense, I’ll record "Running Man"!

After Tian Yuan asked, he was also quite embarrassed.

...

"We all know that you were an idol singer before, why did you remember to make a movie?"

Wang Han changed direction.

"It wasn't an accident. I always had the idea of ​​being a director. Of course, it was really surprising to be able to take the filming so quickly and shoot the first work."

"Then do you think there is a difference between being a director and being an idol?"

"There is no big difference. They are all about pleasing the audience. The idol must be liked and recognized by the audience. The directors must be the same. Someone must watch the works they shoot!"

Xu Hui thought about it and added: "Anyway, that's what I think, movies that can be sold are good movies!"

"Yes, your movies are all very popular!"

Wang Han smiled and supported the show.

"It's a pity that the movies sold are hard to win awards..."

Is this a hidden golden horse?

Surely so!

“…”

Wang Han said that he did not want to participate in this topic!

But if he doesn't participate, someone will miss the opportunity to perform without a watch. For example, Odi, he took over the topic: "Director Xu's movies seem to have never won many awards, Golden Horse Awards, and Golden Image Awards so far..."

"But I've won the Cannes jury award!"

Xu Hui smiled and retorted.

“…”

Odi was so angry that he was speechless.

He originally wanted to help Xu Hui say a few words.

He has always liked to 'stand up' for others!

"…Winning awards and box office seem to be two different concepts. As a director, how do you grasp the commerciality and artistic nature of the movie?"

It's Wang Han who needs to provide a guarantee, he asked from another perspective.

"The best movies are of course both commercial and artistic. However, there are too few such movies, and all those that can be shot are masters. It is unlikely that there will be master-level directors in this era, so don't hide them. If you want to be recognized by the market, then make commercial films. If you want to be cold, then go and make art films without conflict!"

"In this era?"

"This is an era of mediocrity, an era of material things, an era of ignorance, an era of lack of masters. If you want to become a master, you must have experience. The birth of greatness is usually caused by pain or suffering..."

"So do you think your own works are more entertaining or literary?"

"Of course it's more entertaining, and what I'm shooting is a commercial film!"

Xu Hui never shy away from the fact that he is a commercial director.

...

"Opened on January 19, what are your box office expectations for "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance"?"

"It can't be much lower than the first one!"

"The first part? I remember the box office of the first part seemed to exceed 800 million!"

"Well, it's more than 800 million!"

Xu Hui smiled, with an unconcealed smile on his face.

"Not weaker than the first one, that's 900 million? Let's make up an integer, 1 billion!"

Wang Han just said it casually, but Paohui took it seriously: "Well... If the opponent in the same period is too weak, I guess it can reach 1 billion!"

“Same period…”

Isn’t it “New Shaolin Temple” in the same period?

Wang Han was stunned for a moment and didn't respond. Unfortunately, he forgot that there was a Odi next to him who couldn't keep up with his mouth: "It seems that two movies will be released on January 19."

"Well, right, there is another movie called "New Shaolin Temple", which claims to be the legendary series of "Shaolin Temple". Generally, movies that use this kind of gimmick are relatively pure bad movies!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on and off the stage was stunned.

This way of declaring war on the opponents in the same period is very special and brilliant!

Xu Hui's face was very calm and he didn't feel anything wrong with what he said.

Maybe it was angered by the remarks some time ago.

What does it mean to be ‘Chinese directors can’t make good sequels, so everyone doesn’t have to look forward to it…’

If there are any flaws in "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing", it may be based on the title of "Huang Feihong" series.

The sequels in recent years are really not very impressive...

Many viewers expressed concerns about this project when "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance" was announced...

The Huayi brothers were secretly happy, and they were thinking about how to open this question. Now that they didn’t have to take action, someone would deal with Xu Hui!

Is Xu Hui the kind of person who can beat and scold him?

At the beginning, the unhappiness of "The Embroidered Spring Sword" led to his separation from Huayi. He dared to face the analm at "Red Cliff" when he was just starting out, and he was afraid that he would forget Paohui's temper!

“…”

Wang Han wanted to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, but Xu Hui continued: "Are you scared? Just kidding, the movie has not been released yet, and no one has the right to evaluate it! Moreover, the market capacity is so large that it can achieve a win-win situation for the two movies!"

Xu Hui smiled very tactfully.

A little fake, bad reviews!

"Yes, what we are a audience is to see good movies. Last year, our country's total annual box office exceeded 10 billion..."

Wang Han hurriedly smoothed out the situation.

"…I think we movie-making people can give the movie to the audience for judgment, and we will give it a lot before it is released. Who gives him the courage?"

This sentence is no joke, it is aimed at Mr. Zhang Weipin!

"Brother Han, our "Men Are Self-reliant" costs more than 150 million yuan. It was handed over to Disney in terms of overseas distribution and released globally, which is definitely a huge improvement in Chinese movies. As a result, before the movie was released, a group of people said that 'the sequels are bad movies'. I really want to slap them with big mouths!"

"… Everyone has different requirements for you. After all, you are a big director!"

Wang Han was sweating coldly, and Odi, Tian Yuan, and Qian Feng were swallowing desperately, not daring to interrupt.
Chapter completed!
