At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 633 The first car Chapter 84 "Racing Car" released

The Olympic bid is quite famous, the top student of the Film Academy, No.1 admitted!

Yuan Shikong has been shooting commercials since graduation, and occasionally made a few short films. In addition to the award-winning "River Dragon and River Hill", there are also "Tide Chasing Waves" and "I'm Not Brave", which have a good reputation.

It was not until 2019 that the first work "The Beneficiary" was filmed...

The box office and word-of-mouth are mediocre, far inferior to another "I'm Not the God of Medicine" also planned by 72 Transformation Films.

But it's okay, at least, it's making money!
So there is still a chance.

However, after chatting with him for a while, Shen Xudong realized that this person is too immature, but he just doesn’t know how to shoot feature films. Thinking about it, he is only 21 years old this year...

Never made a movie at all.

Don't worry, let's talk about it later.

The director of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" probably needs to find someone with a little experience.

However, Shen Xudong still invited him to watch "Race Racing" together - today is the premiere of "Crazy Racing"!
……

The bid for the Olympic Games is actually quite annoyed, and I feel that I have missed the opportunity...

This is the case, every new director has to face two thresholds, the first is called industry recognition, that is, the industry first recognizes that you are a director and you can make movies;

The second is market recognition, saying that your movie can make money, it doesn't matter how much you make, as long as you make money, even if you don't lose much, it's benign.

In the past, young directors had to first experience industry recognition and then slowly gain market recognition, but in today's market environment with escalating competition, there is a shortcut.

——Shen Xudong approves!

As long as Shen Xudong approves of you, you can make a movie, and it is very likely that you will directly gain fame and fortune!

Han Yan is.

But the Olympic bid also knows that his performance this time is really not good...

Investors, don't consider making money, just want to make the director happy, there is only one possibility - he is your father!
Therefore, the bid for the Olympic Games did not fail. I followed Shen Xudong to the premiere of "Crazy Racing"...

On the way, he really wanted to chat with Shen Xudong, but... there was no chance, because Shen Xudong had been talking on the phone all the time, and he spoke English.

Oh, Xudong is chatting with the film director of New Line.

"The Raid" and "The Evil Man" have both been released in North America. The former opened in 20 theaters. Two weeks after its release, it expanded to 127 theaters. At present, the cumulative box office is close to 120 million US dollars, and there is a chance to expand to 500 theaters. The final box office forecast is Around $800 million...

In contrast, "Biography of the Wicked" is a bit worse-after all, it is more about police and gangsters, the genre of the plot, the single-house box office and market performance are not as good as "The Raid".

Estimated to be up to $300 million...

By the way, Toby Emmerich said "Dwayne Johnson is very interested in "The Wicked"..."

"Dwayne Johnson..."

"Yes, he wants to go to China to interview you..."

"...No, in half a month, I'm going to Los Angeles..."

Dwayne Johnson is not yet a first-line actor, he can only be regarded as a second-line action actor. After all, he is not Matthew...

Dawn should be the first line of promotion in "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" and "Fast and Furious 5", and then started his blockbuster career.

Well, in fact, he didn't become famous only by relying on a series of works, but basically became famous in scattered works.

Speaking of the two works, in fact, apart from North America, "The Evil Man" beats "The Raid" at the box office in Asia, uh... Actually, it can't be said to be a slam dunk, but the situation is indeed much better. Half a month after its release, "The Evil Man" has already Won $1300 million at the box office, "The Raid" only made $900 million...

Uh, these two films, "The Evil Man" will be released in the mainland during the New Year's Day, and the box office is estimated to be not so good, because a lot of violent and bloody scenes have been deleted...

What I watch in "The Evil Man" is to control violence with violence. The violence and bloody scenes are gone, which means that the biggest attraction is gone!

It's normal, who let "The Evil Man" be directed by Sammo Hung instead of Li Amine!

Not everyone is qualified to edit the footage by themselves, grasp the scale by themselves, and then release it nationwide.

The global box office of "The Raid" and "The Evil Man" are estimated to be more than 2000 million US dollars...

It’s already very good. The cost of the former is 300 million U.S. dollars, and the cost of the latter is 800 million U.S. dollars. In addition, Golden Harvest’s several films this year have basically exploded, and “Happy Death Day” and “Human Purge 2” that participated in the investment also made a lot of money. …

The secondary market reacted very promptly—compared to when Shen Xudong first took over Golden Harvest last year, the market value has more than seven times increased, and the current market value is 82 billion Hong Kong dollars, the leader of the Hong Kong entertainment industry!
Therefore, Gao Fenfen said that he wanted to develop a theater chain, and Shen Xudong immediately agreed.

Is it rich? Directly issued additional stocks worth [-] million Hong Kong dollars for the development and construction of theaters.

……

The premiere of "Racing Cars" was very lively.

After a year and a half of publicity, Ning Hao's reputation as a ghostly director has basically become popular among the people.

Coupled with the strong resource mobilization ability of Tianmei Media, the media, celebrities, including directors, have opened up a lot.

Shen Xudong even saw Chen Kexin!
"The last "Stone" surprised me. Young directors from mainland China really dare to play. I immediately became a fan of director Ning Hao. I heard that "Racing Car" this time will continue this narrative style, so I will definitely give it a try. Sneak peek!"

Chen Kexin is very good at being a human being. Facing media interviews, she praised Ning Hao in various ways.

Han Shanping and Huang Jianxin also praised Ning Hao as "the young director with the most commercial value".

When Shen Xudong arrived, the reporter asked, "How much did you participate in the "Racing" script?" '

Shen Xudong answered directly: "Ning Hao is too boring. The script of "Racing Car" was written for two months. I couldn't take it anymore, so I joined in, helped sort out the clues, and sorted out the main elements. The script was written by him. I wrote it with seven or eight screenwriters... My role is mainly to accelerate!"

"It's very interesting. Ning Hao's comedies are real and close to life." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Before Ning Hao, Chinese comedy movies, at least the movies that advertised comedy, were mostly actively "funny" in terms of expression. What is close is to actively achieve the effect through the actor's facial expressions and dialogue content, and the moderate or excessive exaggeration of body movements.

Stephen Chow's "nonsensical" style influenced most of the Chinese comedies of the same period and even young people's aesthetics of humor, while traditional comedies in the Mainland such as "Hands Up" cannot get rid of the routine of relying on actors to show ugliness to please the audience. Of course, we also have high-quality comedies like Ge You + Feng Xiaogang, but their "Xiaoguo" still seems a little reserved.

Ning Hao is different from them. It can be seen from "Stone" that his character hardly sees any scenes where the characters take the initiative to be "funny". All the narratives are serious, but it is Coke. "

"The same goes for "Race Racing"!"

……

The whole film "Racing Car" is still quite absurd and funny, the actors have great acting skills, the lines are very humorous, and there are many famous sentences.

Of course, it must not be comparable to "Stone", because the connotation is incomparable. The background of "Stone" is actually the sorrow of the great era. The background or origin of the story is the wave of laid-off workers and the great development of real estate. There is no escape, and the sense of fate and powerlessness adds to the level and depth of the story itself.

"Racing Car" is more of an entertainment attribute, and lacks the resonance of the times.

But a movie theater needs an atmosphere.

The experience of "Racing Car" is very good, especially in terms of characters. Needless to say, Geng Hao, the brother-in-law and brother-in-law for the postgraduate entrance examination duo, Li Farah and his wife can make a big fuss if they come out alone, the triad group of four, and the funeral service duo The team, Brother Chachai, and police officers with an accent are all outstanding, even the young lady at the front desk of the hotel is impressive. On the one hand, the outstanding performance of the actors successfully visualized the contradictions and oppositions in the story. It is easy to connect the intricate story logic with the characters.

There are also many famous lines.

"You're full of jingle, you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"

"Brother, it doesn't taste right..."

"The local gangs are so unruly!"

The whole auditorium burst into laughter one after another...
