Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 289 I am lucky

The Liu Tianxian incident has basically come to a temporary end after Yutu launched an indiscriminate attack on the entire entertainment industry and Yao Dazui was labeled the "Flower of Evil".

No one is issuing press releases or leading the trend, which is unpleasant.

It also lets everyone know that Liu Tianxian is protected by the principal, and causing trouble for her is equivalent to causing trouble for the principal.

For a moment, online celebrity gossip seemed calm, as if the entire entertainment industry had quieted down.

No one is scolding anyone, and no one is spending money to buy anyone's press releases. Even Tangren Xiajie has been using her posts less frequently, mainly because she is afraid of being punished by the principal.

They were afraid that the principal would take action against them.

However, they are stars who rely on their reputation and traffic to survive, and they cannot bear too much negative news.

No one has as thick blood as Liu Tianxian, or as strong tenacity as him.

Moreover, the current principal, the current Jade Rabbit, is at the peak of his career, just like the scorching sun shining on the entire film and television industry.

{December 2012, 12, is a special day, not only because it is a digital festival created by netizens, but also because the movie "Lost in Thailand" produced by Yutu was released on this day.

In the days that followed, "Lost in Thailand" caused a "carnival" among the public, making this small movie with an investment of only 30 million yuan create a box office myth in Chinese film history and become the most profitable movie in history.

2013年1月12日，整一个月，《泰囧》最新票房破12亿，已远超2012年《超体1》所创造的票房纪录。

At present, its box office in China is only second to the 13.79 billion yuan box office record of "Avatar".

According to the latest news, the screening of "Lost in Thailand" will be tentatively postponed to January 1.

The film received rave reviews, making Chen Zhixi of Jade Rabbit Pictures a "blockbuster"! }
This report was published in the Financial Daily, with the title: Chen Zhixi's "12 billion myth" of "Lost in Thailand"!
It can be said that Chen Zhixi is highly regarded, simply because she led and personally handled the entire process of this film from project establishment, investment, production, to promotion and distribution.

This is also her first work that she completed independently from Fang Hong.

Fang Hong’s shadow can be seen in all of her previous films to a greater or lesser extent, and now she is also growing into a qualified film businessman.

The success of this film heralds the rise of domestic films, the rise of a new generation of directors and filmmakers, and their challenge to the old culture.

Even mainstream media and online media are reporting on this phenomenal movie.

"The box office of Lost in Thailand has exceeded 12 billion, breaking the box office record for domestic films!" - People's Daily Online.

"The box office of Lost in Thailand has exceeded 12 billion! [Shocked]"--Sina Entertainment.

"Lost in Thailand set a record by breaking 12 billion at the box office, boosting tourism to Thailand!" - Sohu Entertainment.

"Lost in Thailand's box office breaks 12 billion yuan: It's not worth being happy about the victory of comedy over seriousness." - China News Service

The media was mostly filled with jubilation and admiration, but of course there was also criticism.

This is inevitable. When a phenomenal movie becomes popular, there will definitely be all kinds of voices.

But this does not hinder the fact that this is a landmark event in the prosperity of China's film industry.

Netizens didn’t feel much about it, they just thought the movie was good and funny, and it was fresh to watch.

Many experts have criticized it: "Lost in Thailand is a typical three-vulgar movie: vulgar, mediocre, and kitsch! China's cultural industry, represented by movies, should not only focus on box office, but should also pay attention to cultural orientation and improve the cultural quality and taste of the people."

Even Xiao Su, a professor of literature at Central China Normal University and a writer, blasted it in the Yangtze River Daily: "Lost in Thailand is a bad example for the cultural industry!"

It is understandable that the literary world cannot have the same vulgar tastes as the people.

The success of this movie caused a stir in the media, newspapers, and literary circles, and all kinds of experts jumped out to criticize it.

But Xu Guangtou was not happy about the criticism and responded with a post: "Let's talk after watching the movie."

Unlike his excitement, Chen Zhixi was relatively calm. She said: "It's just a movie. We are sincerely making a commercial comedy movie. Different movies have different functions. You can't expect a comedy movie to have profound connotations, criticize society, and explore human nature. That's it."

She stopped talking here again, her desire to express herself was a little strong.

In fact, what she wanted to say was, if we shoot it that way and you don’t allow it to be approved, there will be a lot of trouble in cutting it out.

She then said: "I think the biggest function of movies is to entertain the audience and move the audience with emotions. Intellectuals may have higher requirements for movies, which is a good thing. It will encourage us to pay attention to things other than business."

Even Guangguang's Wang Changtian jumped out to express his opinion on this phenomenal movie: "Guangguang used to like to cooperate with Hong Kong directors. The principal made us discover that Hong Kong directors treat movies as their profession.

They will have a certain basic box office, but it will be 1.5 to 2 million at most, and then it will never go up again. Even many big directors find it difficult to break million, but there is no upper limit for mainland directors. Every year's box office miracles are created by mainland directors.

In addition, mainland directors understand mainland culture better, and their films are more down-to-earth.”

These words were considered a denial of Hong Kong directors and brought about a change in the direction of the film market.

Both the principal and the CEO of Guangguang, two heavyweights, are not impressed by Hong Kong directors, which means that the Hong Kong film myth is being shattered.

So there are more debates and more reports.

Even if there were challenges in the past, we could still win. But now we can’t even win. Even Fang Long’s “Chinese Zodiac” barely made over 800 million. The gap is huge.

It's still not as high as the box office of "Lucy 12" in mid-1.

The success of "Lost in Thailand", together with the success of many films produced by Yutu in the past 12 years, has made Yutu's banner more prominent. Many directors or screenwriters who feel that their talents are not recognized have taken their scripts to seek cooperation and investment from Yutu.

For example, Han Han came with his film "See You Tomorrow"; literary director Diao Yinan came with his script "Black Coal, Thin Ice".

This was a script that someone had been writing for more than ten years. However, Chen Zhixi thought that Black Coal, Thin Ice would not sell well at the box office and was a sheer waste of time, so he rejected it.

Even if you make money, it won’t be much. It’s a waste of a year or two. Why not just shoot something else?
But Fang Hong took it back and said, "Don't just pursue money, pursue art properly."

These words made Chen Zhixi look at him blankly: "You have changed. You were not like this before."

She still remembered that Fang Hong once told her that she should wait until she succeeded and not worry about the process.

How real estate is operated is to take advantage of other people’s value.

These theories came from this person's mouth. They were all about pursuing money and profit. But now he doesn't want to make money anymore. He wants to pursue the connotation behind money.

"An excellent enterprise must have a sense of social responsibility. Otherwise, what is the purpose of running a business? Do we really have no qualities and just pursue money blindly? There is no end to making money, and we must give appropriate returns." Fang Hong came up with a new theory.

Chen Zhixi was no longer able to refute. Fang Hong's ideas were different at every stage.

Just like people, the first thing we pursue is to be full, and after being full, we pursue spiritual happiness.

On January 1th at the China World Trade Center, Liu Tianxian accompanied Fang Hong for about ten days and half a month, and finally came out to participate in the annual Weibo Night.

She went there with Jane Zhang and Chen Zhixi. Jane Zhang had a performance, which was singing.

As the big shot of the year, Chen Zhixi has a prize to win.

Fang Hong was originally invited and was offered a prize, but he was not interested.

He goes to this kind of activities just to show off. He has moved away from such low-level interests as showing off and is moving towards higher-level interests.

The red carpet at Weibo Night was gorgeous, the lights were shining, and the female stars were beautiful, each of them radiant and charming.

Big Mi Mi, Big Baby, Han Geng, Yao Dazui, Long Liqi, Sun Li, Li Bailian, Li Xiaolu, Rong Zuer, International Zhang, Big Black Bull, Zhang Xinyu, Su Mang, Chow Yun-fat and his wife... and many other popular stars and celebrities were present.

Of course, there were also bigwigs present, such as Bona Chairman Yu Pangzi, Anle Chairman Jiang Zhiqiang, Sequoia Chairman Shen Nanpeng, Huayi founder Da Wang, Sina Chairman Cao Guowei, all of whom are capital celebrities.

Chen Zhixi is now also a capital celebrity.

Liu Tianxian is one of the most popular female stars at this stage. After the negative news about her faded, her reputation has also improved, so naturally she has to walk the red carpet first, and others can only wait.

This made people like Da Mi Mi and Da Baobei feel resentful, but they had to manage their expressions well.

Liu Tianxian, with fair skin, beautiful face and red lips, appeared elegantly at the entrance of the red carpet in a sky blue dress.

She is alone, Chen Zhixi doesn't need to leave, she is not a star.

"Crash!" The reporters and photographers next to the red carpet caused a commotion, and some almost rushed forward.

This scared Liu Tianxian a little, but when she realized that nothing was wrong, she looked at a male photographer next to the red carpet with a playful, yet reproachful look.

This was the person who almost rushed up just now.

This expression is cute, and it seems that she is in a good mood. The photographer was shy for a moment, and then took pictures quickly, capturing this expression and posting it online for fans to drool over.

The on-site camera lights kept flashing. After Liu Tianxian casually drew her name on the autograph wall, a host interviewed her.

The host asked: "Tianxian, what is your biggest achievement in 2012?"

"Well, the biggest gain is that I feel I have become lucky." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

"which aspect?"

"In all aspects, as long as I keep a good attitude and don't worry too much about gains and losses, I think I am lucky and have gained a lot." Liu Tianxian said with a smile.

She said that she was lucky in her career and lucky to have met Fang Hong. As long as she didn't pursue perfection and accepted her man's flaws in character, it would be pretty good.

It's okay to think positively. Fang Hong may not be what she expects him to be, but he can consider her feelings, restrain himself, and become the person who protects her. This feeling is also very warm.

The host asked: "What is your New Year's resolution?"

“I hope I can always be this lucky.”

After Liu Tianxian finished speaking, she walked towards the China World Trade Center venue, and behind her was Yang Mi walking onto the red carpet.

Yang Mi wore a white dress and walked confidently on the red carpet with her head held high.

As he walked, his chest shook slightly.

She put one hand on her waist for the photo, so confident, just because she didn't want to lose to the woman in front of her who always stole her limelight.

Big Baby and other female stars also have a competitive spirit.

Liu Tianxian is just an ordinary person and doesn’t care how other actresses or people look at her or how they compare themselves with her.

In her heart, the most important thing is to be herself.

The venue of Weibo Night is very large and grand. The two upper floors that surround the venue are half a circle of audience seats, and the entire floor below is occupied by celebrity guest seats.

The guest seats are arranged with single sofa chairs and three-person sofas, which looks more high-end and elegant than other event ceremonies.

Sina is quite willing to spend money on this aspect, as they rely on celebrities to attract traffic.
