China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 200
But Wang Changtian was just talking. If he really heard that He Hua had a new film and television project, he would probably run faster than anyone else.

It’s just that there will never be another opportunity to make huge profits just from the release of "Those Years" like before.

Unexpectedly, not only China Film Group Corporation is actively wooing He Hua, but Shanghai Film and Star Film Group are also taking action. Even the boss of Bona Pictures, which had a small friction with He Hua before, lowered his figure and said that he was always under his command. Jing Jing, Jing Jing is thinking about crooked ways. I really don’t know anything about it. I hope it won’t affect the future cooperation between the two companies.

He Hua could only express that he didn't care if he didn't hit the smiling person. He just wanted to explain the misunderstanding clearly.

This conversation appeared at the world premiere of "Tang Bohu Spots Qiuxiang 2" held at BJ.

In fact, He Hua didn't want to go when he heard the word "global". He really couldn't stand the way some people boasted about themselves. He knew that you had your glory in the past, but things are different now. Can you die if you keep a low profile? ?Are you afraid that others won’t know that you are very energetic?
But in the end, He Hua still attended the premiere. Men still have to go out to show off to women occasionally.

There were many people at the premiere, including producers Xiang Huasheng, Yu Dong, etc., but the one who found He Hua most interesting was his younger brother.

He Hua touched his head and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Ten years old." Despite his young age, his behavior is very generous.

"10 years old? Were you born in 00?"

Sizi nodded. He didn't understand why the uncle in front of him asked this, but he admitted it honestly.

After Feixuan Boy's manager came and took away the four characters, He Huacai said speechlessly:
"You are born in the 00s and want to work hard? My God, this circle is really attractive."

No way, even though the entertainment industry has not yet entered a stage where actors' salaries are skyrocketing, an actor's salary of dozens or hundreds for a movie or TV show still makes ordinary people envious. Coupled with the glamorous working environment, As a result, more and more families and children want to squeeze into this circle.

He Hua learned that the admission rate of his alma mater, China National Theater Arts, for this year's art exam was even 80:1, which is scary to think about.

The hosts of the premiere were Jingwei and Wanwanhuang. The two had good control of the scene, but the dancing of the new four talents was really eye-catching.

The average age of Huang Xiaoming, Ren Xianqi, Chen Baixiang, and Zhou Libo is probably 40. Even if you didn't mind the age of talents in ancient times, you still have to consider the senses of modern audiences.

Could it be that they are planning to use these three green leaves to set off the handsomeness of the male protagonist Huang Xiaoming?He Hua didn't quite understand.

After the four veteran artists performed, the four-character brother followed his team to the stage and played "Green Apple Paradise", which made me feel much better.

Because of He Hua's presence, the scheduled event for the four talented people to express their love for Qiuxiang and Liu Yifei was cancelled. After all, people were here to support her. Aren't you doing this to disgust people in front of them? You didn't do this.

The host temporarily arranged a new play and invited Liu Yifei to perform the three-smile stunt in the play.

The four great talents were surrounding him, who wouldn't smile at him?

So when she faced the funny Chen Baixiang, Liu Yifei burst into laughter; when faced with the real man Ren Xianqi who valued love and justice, she chose the laugh of a buddy: and when she saw Zhou Libo, who played the most miserable Wen Zhengming in history, Liu Yifei responded with sympathy Smiling; and when she saw the smart, handsome and talented Tang Bohu, she smiled with admiration just like Huang Xiaoming's fans.

Of course, He Hua only understood these changes after she explained them to the host.

Really laughing to death.

It stands to reason that this movie has the blessing of its predecessor, and now it has Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei, a classic screen couple, joining the cast. The director can achieve good results with just a little effort, but who would have thought that this group of Xiangjiang filmmakers are really going for it. Make money without losing face.

The movie received rave reviews as soon as it was released. Some media did their due diligence and asked 30 people to rate the movie. The final score was 56.08 out of 100, which directly set a new low for movie viewing this year.

He Hua was also taken to have a look by his girlfriend and found out what was wrong:
First of all, this sequel is a parody of the previous film, with a lot of ridiculous plots deliberately designed, and every joke seems to have nothing to do with the theme of the movie.

For example, Zhu Zhishan was deceived by a bad friend and ate invisibility pills made of cow dung. He swung his white fat body in front of the white bird picture and was beaten violently for peeping in the shower. Zhou Libo was given a black eye by the abbot. Huang Xiaoming endorsed it. "The head cantilever cone is bone-piercing, chisels the wall and steals the light"

These jokes are interspersed with each other, making the whole plot messy and stiff.

There is also the issue of casting choice.

Xingye is really good at selecting and training actors, so many of the supporting roles in his movies are deeply memorable to everyone.

But this kind of thing cannot be copied. Just like in this movie, many actors worked hard to do various funny actions, but with little effect, and even aroused the disgust of the audience.

And in the end, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei are really not suitable for comedy movies. He Hua couldn't comment on their performances, especially when they saw the "roast chicken wings" song at the end, he even said "Lei" Speechless.

In the end, he could only say, "Can you please listen to me in the future? Don't accept this kind of script again." He Hua held his head and said, "I have a headache."

I finally managed to drag my girlfriend to the right road, but unexpectedly she turned into a ditch again. It was not in vain.

Liu Yifei felt a little aggrieved. She really didn't expect these great directors to be so unreliable.

But she also knew that it was her own insistence that led to this result, so she said "hmm" and stretched out her little hand to press her boyfriend's head.

After all, He Hua doesn't think it's his girlfriend's fault. The main reason is that his girlfriend hasn't seen clearly the faces of these Hong Kong filmmakers.

For them, only the real money they get is real, and reputation and influence have no place.

The previously released "Unmanned Driving", as well as Chen Musheng's "Alert" and Zhong Shujia's "Dragon and Phoenix Store" are all such money-making works.

But this time they probably won't get what they want. On July 7, director Xiaogang came with his "Tangshan Earthquake".

He Hua had watched the movie early and learned about its box office results from the barrage.

It should be said that no matter from which angle you look at it, "Tangshan Earthquake" can compare these works to dust.

Do they dare to think about a box office of more than 6 million?

He Hua felt energized just thinking about it. Director Feng Xiaogang was really awesome this time, allowing those Hong Kong filmmakers who have high standards to see the strength of mainland filmmakers.

If it weren't for the Huayi brothers in the middle, He Hua would really want to sit down and have a chat with him.

On July 7, "Orphans" was released. It was released for 15 days and had a cumulative box office of 35 million.

After the movie was drawn, there were suddenly more reports about the movie and the director. He Hua took a rough look at it and summarized these reports in one sentence:

"This type of movie is very good and should be made more; He Hua is the most surprising director this year."

He Hua curled his lips, why did these media go there already? Is there any point in saying this if they have to wait for the movie to be released?

If it had been reported when it was released, it would have made more box office.

An opponent must have paid hush money. This kind of thing is too common.

Forget it, the movie has been released, why do you still think about this?

From the end of the road show to now, He Hua has rested for more than half a month, and now it's time to think about his next work.
Do you want to film "Xiu Chun Knife"?After all, it is a pearl in the declining period of martial arts. I don’t know how many people relied on it to conquer the world.

After filming the first part, you can also find the original director Lu Yang and let him continue filming the second part, and you will gain fame and profit.Just don't be too perfect.

Or maybe we can release "Detective Chinatown" in advance, which will have both word-of-mouth and box office success, and use it to directly become the domestic film box office champion.

When the time comes, what a conspiracy, what a little steel, you must be shocked and look at it with admiration.

Or how about another realistic movie, "Keep You Safe"?
Although online violence is not that serious yet, it has begun to appear, and making a movie can be regarded as a precautionary measure for the public.

There are so many to choose from.

I'm a little troubled!
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Yifei walked in with a plate of cut fruits: "Here."

He Hua grabbed two grapes and stuffed them into his mouth. Then he saw that his girlfriend still didn't go out at this time. He couldn't help but be curious: "There are no publicity tasks today?"

Liu Yifei nodded, not really wanting to talk about the movie. She glanced at the document He Hua had just opened. Although she hadn't written a few words yet, her intention was already obvious:

"You want to write a new script?"

"Okay." He Hua sat upright, picked up the mouse and minimized the document: "But I'm not sure yet what I want to take a picture of, I have to think about it again."

"Okay." Liu Yifei didn't think there was any problem. In the first place, inspiration for a movie is never that easy to find: "By the way, what happened to "33 Days of Love" I mentioned before? Is it worthy of adaptation?"

How should I explain this to my girlfriend?For the project that was approached by others, I couldn't help but decide on the director and screenwriter, and even the actors were almost there, which was very catchy.

He Hua could only test carefully first: "Qianxi, do you want to act in this drama?"

"It's not that I have to act. I just think Huang Xiaoxian's character suits my taste very well. I think it would be interesting to film this novel."

That's okay, otherwise He Hua really doesn't know how to explain to her. Reasoning is always the worst option.

"I have arranged for the director and screenwriter to work on the script. I will take you to meet the director then."

Simply put, I left the impression on my girlfriend that I rarely interfered in other productions except my own dramas. Now I can put all the problems out.

Let Xue Xiaolu talk to her then, and I believe she won't be able to blame herself.

And it’s time to broaden the development path of my girlfriend. People like Xu Jinglei can be praised as ‘talented girls’. What’s wrong with my Sissi, but I still have to ask my opinion:
"Sissi, do you still remember what I told you about trying behind-the-scenes production?"

Liu Yifei didn't know why.

"Would you like to start with this video?"

"Is that okay?" Liu Yifei looked surprised and hesitant.

"Try it."

The next day, He Hua took Liu Yifei to meet Xue Xiaolu and Huang Lan, and they had also called in advance to communicate.

After handing over the person to them, He Hua no longer cares about it. For them, such trivial matters as wiping the boss's butt is a piece of cake.

After settling the matter with my girlfriend, I returned to the predicament at hand.

He Hua thought again and again and typed a few words on the computer: "defiant"

This movie was just a major Internet movie in its original time and space, but such a work with low investment and slightly crude production has won the applause of countless netizens and has been rated as the most conscientious domestic martial arts movie after the "Xiu Chun Dao" series. .

The Douban score is 7.1. To be honest, He Hua feels that this score is not worthy of such a movie. Many people say that the plot of the movie is too weak, and it is also suspected of plagiarizing Kitano Takeshi's "Zatoichi".

He Hua didn't understand. This kind of story template: retired agents take down evil forces, isn't it always used by Hollywood?The plots of those action movies are simpler and rougher than the last ones. Why is it that no one says anything about it? When it is the turn of domestic movies, they start to say that the plots are not good.

Although its plot is indeed simple, the main line of the story is very neat, which is pretty good. You really can't have double standards as a person.

There is also the matter of plagiarism. Film shooting itself is a study and reference from different genres. If you say that you have used this kind of lens, it is your patent. No one in the future is allowed to use it again, and then the film industry will not need to develop.

In addition, there is the setting of "Blind Man". The plot of "Rainy Night + Gambling House + Blind Man" at the beginning of the movie does have traces of imitation, but it cannot be considered plagiarism.

There are also clothes and weapons, and some people even say that the blind man's sword is a Japanese samurai sword. If you don't understand, don't talk randomly. It's not your fault that you don't read enough. If you always come out and make yourself look embarrassed, it really makes people wonder if there is something wrong with your brain. .

Moreover, this movie also brought Semyon, a martial arts star, back into public career.

Why I chose this film stems from the martial arts plot flowing in He Hua's blood.

"A scholar dies for his confidant"

"Killing a person in ten steps, you won't stay for a thousand miles. When it's done, brush off your clothes and hide your achievements and fame."

Chinese martial arts plots are strong, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many martial arts novels that have been remade over and over again and released over and over again.

Martial arts is a dream in the hearts of Chinese people. Although it is an illusion, it allows us to find our own spiritual sustenance. What is more precious than preserving a dream?

Being blind is in line with He Hua's interpretation of the word 'xia'.

“Draw out your sword to help when the road is rough”

"Do not be afraid of power and act chivalrously and righteously"

"Sacrifice one's life to repay kindness"

Every era needs justice, and every era has to have someone to uphold justice. The blind man is such a character.

What story could be more touching than this one?

In addition, there are many considerations:
For example, he likes the action design, camerawork, fast editing, and art style in the play.

For example, martial arts has gone into silence now, and even those Hong Kong directors who are best at martial arts films are not very willing to touch on this subject.

Another example is how Hua wants to try his abilities and make certain changes to the story.

The investment in this film should not be too high, so even if the changes fail and the box office fails, the company will not be greatly affected.

So that's it.
