Chapter 743 No More Six Points

"How can you underestimate people so much? My acting is so good, our movie is so good." Xiaohu immediately retorted dissatisfiedly. In fact, she hasn't seen the finished movie after she finished filming.

"I didn't underestimate you. Fortunately, it's relative. Your movies are good, and so are your performances. But sometimes it depends on luck to win an award. Don't worry, the company will try its best to give you and operate it for you."

Zhou Xia could only say helplessly, to comfort Xiaohu.

"Fireworks in the Day" is a literary film, which is actually very poor in terms of commercial attributes. The investors and distributors have been using murder and suspense as selling points because of the film's upset award.

In addition, when it was released in China, some plots were deleted, and many domestic audiences could not understand or like it, so the evaluation was average, with only 7.2 points on Douban.

In the eyes of most professional filmmakers, this independent film is well-known, interlocking, and has a compact and complete plot. Although it is not an excellent Golden Lion film, it is justifiable for being an upset winner.

Moreover, the film itself is cryptic, restrained, and simple. The story is approaching the end twice, but there are twists and turns. The suspense is repeated, which surprises people. The truth is only revealed at the end of the film.

As for the so-called large-scale emotional drama, it actually didn't reveal anything, and it had nothing to do with glamorous or charming.

The male protagonist's almost semi-forced love for the female protagonist on the Ferris wheel, wearing thick winter clothes, and colliding in a small space is not interesting at all.

Moreover, this plot was deleted in domestic releases.

Therefore, in the version released in China, only a few kissing scenes may be considered the largest scale.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xia didn't take Xiaohu's acting in these scenes to heart, and the overall lines of this movie are very few, and the heroine's lines are even less. The dark photography style is very depressing, and there are not many scenes that require strong emotional expression. They are all suitable for the little fox to play its own characteristics.

At least in Zhou Xia's opinion, under the strict director Diao Yinan's filming, Xiaohu's performance is very good, more suitable than the original heroine Gui Lunmei, and she also performs well.

It's hard to say abroad, but in domestic awards, Xiaohu really has a great chance to win several awards with this movie.

"Then don't fool me. People are under a lot of pressure now. Tangtang and Sisi have won awards, and Yaya's "Dear" is also very popular. You must help them."

Xiaohu continued to act like a baby, frankly talking about her difficulties.

"Okay, don't worry, since you want to improve so much, of course I will help you." Zhou Xia said helplessly.

"Well, that's for sure. My goal in life is to become an old artist."

After Xiaohu finished speaking with a smile, when he heard Zhou Xia cough, he didn't bother to bother, and continued, "When will you come back, do you want to chat with you?"

"Cough..., me, the day after tomorrow at the latest." Zhou Xiaping regained his breath and finally stopped laughing.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll pick you up then."

"Okay, bye."

After hanging up the phone with Xiaohu, Zhou Xia stayed in Los Angeles until the next day and asked Sophia to talk again.

She still didn't want Zhou Xia to interfere too much, so Zhou Xia had no choice but to give her a bank card, explain to his lawyer in the United States, introduce him to Sophia, give her good advice, and then left.

Sophia once asked Zhou Xia whether Xiahua Film and Television would be listed in North America, and whether he would go to Hollywood to develop. She may have other ideas, but she did not explain that she had requirements for the company's shares and children's inheritance rights.

It's not good for Zhou Xia to ask her directly, so as not to be self-defeating, she can only arrange for a lawyer to contact and communicate with her.

On February 2th, Zhou Xia flew back to the Imperial Capital from Los Angeles.

"Descendants of Yanhuang" will start on the 7th, after the Spring Festival, after work, and there is no time delay.

Leaving the Imperial Capital Airport at [-] o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xia directly got into the car that Xiaohu came to pick him up, and headed to Rose Manor together.

Rose Manor is very close to the airport, just over 20 minutes away.

Zhou Xia chatted with Xiaohu while driving.

"Yiyi, have you watched it? Our "The Breakup Master" has been released for a week, and the box office has exceeded [-] million." Xiaohu said in a complicated mood while looking at Zhou Xia next to him in the co-pilot.

For the past few days during the Chinese New Year, she has been doing a national road show for the movie. The promotion ended yesterday and she returned to the imperial capital, but this result is actually not as good as "Little Times"!

"Well, it's pretty good."

Zhou Xia nodded, hearing that Xiaohu was a little unhappy, and casually comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, after all, there are movies such as "New Detective" and "Little Times" that have compressed the lineup, and "The Breakup Master" can achieve such a result." Very good."

"Hmph, I won't be discouraged. It's not all because of you. Otherwise, I star in the movie "Little Times", how could it be Xiao Ai's turn?"

Xiaohu turned his head to look at Zhou Xia, finished speaking angrily, and continued: "And this time, Yufei, Sisi, Tangtang and others were excluded from the selection of the four young actresses, is this run by the company? Otherwise, they are all the little flowers of our company, you deliberately pushed them up, didn't you?"

"No, this is the normal operation of the company. It also shows that Xiaoai, Xiaoying, Erdi, and Nini have been recognized by everyone. You have been on it once, and now you are also a big actress, and you still envy the four little actresses." Title?"

Zhou Xia said angrily.

"Hehe, Big Huadan, you say it is? Didn't you mean that the company is operating the four post-[-]s Huadans? Why haven't they been selected yet?"

"It will be at least the second half of the year. Let's wait until the selection of major domestic awards is over. Otherwise, everything will be unconvincing. Alright, it's here!"

Zhou Xia parked the car in the parking space outside the villa, and the two of them hurriedly got out of the car and entered the villa after wrapping everything up.

Back in the villa, the chef arranged by Xiaohu had already prepared the meals in advance. The two of them prepared and ate warmly. Zhou Xia's tired body and mind finally eased a lot.

"Yiyi, why are you depressed? Did something happen when you suddenly went to the United States?"

The two sat down in the living room, and the little fox came up to tease Zhou Xia. Zhou Xia was not like usual today, getting angry when provoked, and the road was very quiet, so she couldn't help but suspect.

"It's something urgent. It's mainly about the company's listing in North America. Don't worry about it. Let's talk about your movie." Zhou Xia quickly changed the subject.

"My movie? "The Breakup Master", it has already been scolded miserably, and its reputation is not as good as "Little Times". " Xiaohu is unhappy when she thinks about this, because Zhou Xia arranged for her to play it.

"If the movie is scolded, that's the director's business. It's fine if you don't get scolded. Why do you care so much? The box office of the movie is not bad, so let's take it as the price. However, I'm talking about "Fireworks in the Day"."

Zhou Xia said very easily that he was a little happy that Xiaohu's performance was not criticized.

"Fireworks in the Daylight"? I haven't watched the movie yet, so I don't know what's going on. Tell me quickly." Xiaohu immediately became interested.

When the film was filmed, the entire crew worked together to create it, which made her feel very professional and hardworking. In addition, the script was adapted from real events, which was very in-depth. She also paid a lot, but she didn't know how the film was edited in the end. .

"It's not bad. I give the movie a 6, and your performance also gets a 6." Zhou Xia thought for a while.

"6 points, is it only 6 points? Are you mocking me?" Xiaohu said very dissatisfied, and was about to fight with Zhou Xia.

"Hehe." Zhou Xia hurriedly stopped her hand, and said with a smile, "Six points can't be more, and it's a very high score. I give 5 points for "Little Times", and 4.5 points for "The Breakup Master."
