Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 384 Tiangong Explodes

The two brothers didn't blame the principal, but blamed old weirdo Xu.

This is normal. The principal has been fighting with them and is an enemy. The movie made by Xu Ke is really rubbish and it feels like he is trying to cheat them.

Not only was there a barrage of criticism online, but there was also criticism from the media.

Those were real insults. They could tell whether the opponents were trying to stir up trouble.

So it’s normal to blame Xu.

Of course, Xu Ke could also feel it, and when he was filming "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", he went to cooperate with Bona and Wanda instead of Huayi.

Those two brothers are like that, they treat everyone else as fools. They are nice to each other when they make money, but they change their faces when they don't make money.

He had a conflict with Stephen Chow before over the profit sharing issue, and later Stephen Chow went to cooperate with Guang Guang.

This is the current situation in the entertainment industry. The director still has the final say. If you are unhappy with me, the worst that can happen is that I won’t work with you on a film.

So this is also the reason why Fang Hong has never worked with a big director, because you can't control it.

His current model is that he can control the director to a certain extent, because the story is his, the writing team is his, and the behind-the-scenes creative team is also his.

The director only needs to hold a loud speaker and shoot the work he wants.

Now Huayi’s stock is still falling. This is not only a problem for Huayi, but also a problem of the overall environment.

Every November 1st, there is a wave of stock price increases, and after November 1st, stock prices fall accordingly.

It is like this this year and it will be like this next year.

Fang Hong doesn't invest in A-shares, so he doesn't pay attention to this. He only prohibits Yutu's management from buying rival stocks.

Once you buy this stock and it goes up, it is equivalent to releasing water.

It's just like two countries are at war, the battle is going on fiercely, but the general's money is actually kept in the enemy country, can this destroy the country?
Now the box office of "Lucky Key" is still stable at tens of millions, occasionally breaking 2.7 million, and it has not decreased much. The current total box office is million.

Positive comments from netizens also came in.

"It's so funny! I haven't laughed so loudly in a movie theater in a long time~!"

"It's a very good movie, full of laughs, and the most worthwhile movie I've seen this year!"

“It’s funny and inspiring: When the killer tidied up the kennel room and sat at the small table to sort out the assets, I already felt that this person had the genes for success;
When the extras were lying on the sofa and drooling, surrounded by snack bags and other messy things, I suddenly felt that what's the use of being handsome, what's the use of young handsome men, mature, stable and reliable middle-aged uncles are the ones I can trust! "

These comments were definitely made by female viewers.

“It’s down to earth and has a lot of laughs, but the plot also has a lot of flaws, so the good outweighs the bad.”

"The ending was a bit hasty, there were too few Easter eggs, I didn't see enough, I don't understand why so many people criticized it."

“It’s a light comedy that you can’t watch with your brain. The first half is interesting, but the middle and the latter part are a bit slow. Both actors’ acting skills are on point.”

"."

Now that "Dragon King of the Gods" has gone downhill, with only a few million box office per day, it seems very difficult to break through 10 million.

In addition, the National Day holiday has passed, so Huayi is no longer pursuing "Lucky Key".

The media also reported on this movie one after another, and news from South Korea also appeared in the mainstream media and the public.

According to 1905 Movie Network News:

"'Lucky Key' has maintained its position as the weekend box office champion in South Korea for the second consecutive week, with 146 viewers over the weekend, down 1931% from the previous week, which is a relatively stable performance. The cumulative number of viewers has reached 11, which is a very good box office result for a comedy."

"The comedy film "Lucky Key" has retained the Korean box office championship. The cumulative number of moviegoers has exceeded 11 million in 400 days since its release!"--Today's Headlines.

"Korean box office: 'Lucky Key' tops the list, setting a new record for comedy films!" - Sina Entertainment.

“The director of “Lucky Key” showed us the correct way to shoot movies and TV series!”

"."

Guo Fan also became very famous. After all, a director who can get high box office overseas will always be a guest of honor.

At this time, he was doing an exclusive interview on the movie channel and facing questions from the host Lan Yu.

Lan Yu is pretty, with an intellectual and elegant temperament. She asked, "What do you want to say about the huge success of "Lucky Key"?"

"It's reasonable, but unexpected." Guo Fan said.

"What do you mean?" Lan Yu asked.

"The script of this movie is very well conceived. Identity swapping is a very new subject, but I'm not good at making comedies," said Guo Fan.

"Then how did you end up making such a movie?" Lan Yu asked.

"When the script was given to me, the principal said I was very good and would definitely do well. Even if I couldn't do well, it didn't matter, I could just treat it as a challenge to myself. I was very moved when I heard that," said Guo Fan.

"What happened next?" Lan Yu asked.

"Later I found out that the principal was planning to film it for Chen Sicheng, but Chen Sicheng was busy with his film Love Story and didn't have time, so he gave it to me." Guo Fan was a little distressed when he said this.

Lan Yu covered her mouth and laughed, then said, "That means there's no one else, so I came to you."

"We were preparing a movie for the principal at the time. I just happened to be free and was the one with the least time," Guo Fan explained.

"What kind of movie are you preparing for the principal?" Lan Yu was very interested. It was another big news.

"I won't talk about this anymore. Keep it secret for now." Guo Fan smiled and waved his hand.

The film they are preparing is Gravity. Lan Yu also changed the subject: "Then what do you think of the two actors Xiao Yang and Yu Hewei?"

"They are all very good actors, especially Xiao Yang. If it weren't for this collaboration, I would have thought he was a singer who sang "Little Apple". I didn't expect that he is also a director. He gave me a lot of advice during the filming. He has great potential."

"."

Guo Fan was quite humorous during the interview.

Xiao Yang and Yu Hewei have returned to China, and they have been invited to major satellite TV stations to participate in programs and be interviewed.

Let's not worry about this. That was arranged by the agency and has nothing to do with the movie itself. The after-sales service for the movie "Lucky Key" has already been completed.

At this time, Fang Hong was receiving Zhang Hongsen, who was invited by Zhang Hongsen himself because someone reported to him that the principal's new movie was going to blow up the Tiangong spacecraft.

Although it is a movie, it still has to be taken seriously.

Our space industry is sacred and does not tolerate any slander.

Liu Tianxian was there too. She poured a cup of tea for Zhang Hongsen, placed it on the coffee table in the middle, and gestured, "Director Zhang, please."

Then she sat together with Fang Hong.

"Tianxian, you are not only beautiful, but also virtuous." Zhang Hongsen took a sip of tea and greeted her.

"Haha, Director, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary person." Liu Tianxian tucked her hair behind her ears.

Zhang Hongsen looked at the two people's state and smiled, "When you are about to have good news, you must inform me!"

"Of course, of course." Liu Tianxian nodded and glanced at the man next to her. She seemed very generous and did not hide anything.

She is different from other women. Other women would feel shy and embarrassed when being talked about like this, but she doesn't. She is very calm.

Zhang Hongsen took another sip of tea, looked at Fang Hong and said, "Does your new movie have to be set on the Tiangong?"

"If the plot requires it, and you say we can't bomb it, then we won't bomb it. We can make up a space station, but it won't be realistic."

Fang Hong said it lightly, and then said: "My movie is going to enter the international market, so it must be in line with our national conditions."

The first part sounded fine, but the latter part, which was "not in line with reality" and "needs to enter the international market", made Zhang Hongsen hesitate.

This is a film that showcases our country's culture to the world, and also a film that showcases our country's aerospace technology to the world.

As for the phrase "it's in line with national conditions", that's bullshit!

“It’s not impossible to blow it up.”

Zhang Hongsen pondered for a moment, then said, "You don't have any plot to discredit our aerospace industry, do you?"

"I don't know if it can be considered as smearing. Have you read the script?" Fang Hong asked back.

He didn't know whether it could be considered smearing or not, and he didn't explain why the Tiangong Palace was shattered by space debris first, but the International Space Station was fine.

"No, your people didn't show it to me, they just told me the general situation." Zhang Hongsen said.

Fang Hong looked at Liu Tianxian next to him and said, "Did you bring the script? Show it to Director Zhang."

"I brought it." Liu Tianxian took out the script from her bag and handed it over, saying, "There are a lot of densely packed small words in it. Those are my annotations. Just read the plot."

"Ok."

Zhang Hongsen took it and began to read it.

The plot is very simple. It is a story about survival in space. Two astronauts are on a spacecraft and are attacked by space debris while going out of the cabin to perform a mission to repair a space telescope.

The space debris destroyed the spacecraft, killing all the astronauts inside, and also destroyed the space telescope.

Only two astronauts in space survived.

The two astronauts had to go to the Tiangong space station and planned to evacuate from the spacecraft in the Tiangong space station, but they crashed into the solar panels of the space station and lost control. In order to save the heroine, the team members had to choose to sacrifice themselves.

After going through hardships, the heroine piloted the Shenzhou spacecraft to the International Space Station, because the fuel on the spacecraft was not enough to support her return to Earth.

Therein lies the problem.

"If the space station is destroyed by space debris and then asks the International Space Station for help, there will be a problem."

Zhang Hongsen looked up and said, "Why did ours explode but theirs didn't? Why didn't they contact the ground and ask for help from the country? Why don't they go to the International Space Station? Asking the country for help when encountering difficulties, doesn't this just reflect the strength of our country's aerospace technology?"

He asked several questions in a row.

"This is all for the plot. We can't contact the ground, the communication is broken, and it's too late. Can the ground send a spacecraft immediately?"

Fang Hong asked back, which was obviously unrealistic and illogical.

He explained again: "So the protagonist was thinking about how to survive, but everything was blown up. How can the protagonist return to Earth?"

"Then why not bomb the International Space Station and then use the Tiangong to rescue it?" Zhang Hongsen had a lot of questions.

"This is a domestic film, so of course the starting point is that our country is in disaster. If we bomb someone else's first, then the protagonist's background will have to change. Do you think that's acceptable?" Fang Hong asked back.

Zhang Hongsen read the script again. Everything else was good except that when the protagonist got into trouble, he was rescued by his own power instead of the state power.

Moreover, it was with the help of the International Space Station, and we were riding on someone else's spacecraft, which shows the strength of our country.

It embodies internationalism.
