Chapter 647 Master’s Advice, Immortal Honey Contests Hundred Flowers

"Brother Jie, long time no see."

In the venue, Cao Xuan and Li Lianjie greeted each other. Although the other party did something that he didn't approve of, but his qualifications and achievements are here. He has also spoken for Cao Xuan on many occasions, and it is still worthy of "Brother Jie".

"Haha, you are amazing now, I watched that movie, handsome."

Li Lianjie's middle-aged and elderly eyebrows are a bit fierce, but his smile is very contagious and his emotional intelligence is very high. It is difficult to make people feel disgusted when talking to him.

"Come on, let me introduce you, my godson, Wen Zhang."

I have to say that Wen Zhang's godfather really didn't worship him in vain. He acted in several movies and took him with him wherever he went to help him build contacts.

If it weren't for his own death, and Lao Li's semi-retirement in the later stage, the resources dropped sharply, he could really get a lot of benefits.

"Hello, Teacher Cao."

Wen Zhang is now considered a first-line niche student. He has participated in the movies of Master Xing, followed his godfather in "The Best Detective", and is even working on a TV drama project by himself. He is one of the first batch of actors in the same generation to join the behind-the-scenes artist.

So sometimes don't blame him for being crazy, right now he does have the capital to be crazy, but he will have to bear the price for it later.

When the wind is down, everyone has to bear with you, but when the wind is headed, don't blame the dog who hit the water and stepped back.

Of course, Wen Zhang was crazy in front of anyone, and he didn't dare to brag in front of Cao Xuan. He bowed and greeted honestly, respectfully like a newcomer who just entered the industry.

"I know him. He was a student in his class. He sent cured beef and persimmon cakes to his home during the Chinese New Year. They tasted very good."

"Knowing that you and Mr. Zeng have everything, I will give you some specialties from your hometown so that you two can try something new."

Wen Zhang had actually met Cao Xuan, but he was rarely led by his godfather to chat with Cao Xuan alone like today. When he mentioned Teacher Zeng again, the relationship became closer immediately.

He is a formal disciple of Zheng'er Bajing, strictly speaking, he should be called Master Cao Xuan.

"Work hard, in Zeng Li's class, the most outstanding male student is Ni, Master Xing and I also praised you, you have a bright future.

It is this temper that needs to be changed. I have heard about you. If you want to be a character, you must have a big heart and control your emotions. Look at when your godfather and I put on cold faces and lose our temper easily in public. "

It's rare to meet a junior who has a connection, Cao Xuan made a few points, to do his best, it's not like eating other people's cured beef in vain.

If you can listen to it, everyone will be happy, but if you can't listen to it, you will be to blame.

Wen Zhang said yes, and chatted a few more words, Cao Xuan went to talk to Old Freak Xu, Li Lianjie turned to look at his godson, and asked with a frown.

"What are you doing again? It's all in his ears."

"I didn't do anything."

Wen Zhang called Qu: "You also know that I like to make trouble, and I can also make jokes. Sometimes it may be seen by outsiders and cause misunderstandings. I really don't play big cards."

"Be careful in the future, everyone's mouth makes money, and your reputation is ruined by small things."

Li Lianjie said a few words, but he didn't take it too seriously, because in his heart, although his godson is not a good boy, on the whole he respects his teacher and is honest and obedient in front of him, not a bad tempered person people.

Besides, he is a martial arts practitioner, and he just came here with blood in his early years. If he was too honest, he would not be able to catch his eyes, and he would not hesitate to be more tempered to him.

When Li Lianjie turned his head away, Wen Zhang behind him looked gloomy.

It's not that he has any objections to the lessons of his godfather and Cao Xuan. Fortunately, he can still understand what he said. More thoughts are that he was deceived, thinking that someone stabbed a knife in the back, and Cao Xuan and Teacher Zeng gave him eye drops .

"Damn, don't let me catch you."

Wen Zhang was very angry. To a certain extent, Teacher Zeng was more powerful than his godfather. If he hated Cao Xuan and his wife, he would not be able to get any credit.

Breaking someone's way forward is like killing one's parents. Wen Zhang was going mad with hatred in his heart, thinking over and over again about his enemies...

Cao Xuan has been watching the entire "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", which is not much different from the original version in his impression.

It's just that Mr. Zhou's disguise as a man is more heroic, and Fan Xiaopang's appearance is slightly more feminine.

There is no difference in acting skills, and this role doesn't need much acting skills. Mr. Zhou can play well, and Fan Xiaopang is not bad either.

Among the others, Chen Kun is the most brilliant, the famous line "...this is our West Factory", can be regarded as a classic scene in Chinese movies.

The role of Yuhuatian has also become one of the reference templates for the creation of many eunuch characters. Together with Cao Dugong in "No. [-] in the World", he can be called a model of eunuchs and an idol of eunuchs.

In fact, "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" also has a famous line, which is the phrase "Guying in the cold river, old people in the rivers and lakes, why meet each other before", which became a popular BGM on Douyin.

So although this movie is not so classic and excellent, it is remembered by so many people, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece of martial arts movies in the decline period.

At the end of the movie, Sanye Han applauded, then turned to ask Cao Xuan in a low voice.

"How much box office can you get from watching this movie?"

As soon as these words came out, President Xiao Wang of Huayi and Fatty Bona also poked their heads over.

Cao Xuan's vision is notoriously accurate. Not only is he accurate in judging people, but he also has a set of methods for judging the performance of his works. Not to mention every hit, but the accuracy rate is definitely more accurate than the predictions of most experts and even institutions in the industry.

It is recognized in the industry that as long as Cao Xuan speaks out, it is rare to overturn, so many projects will be checked by Cao Xuan.

If Cao Xuan is optimistic, everyone will follow and vote. If Cao Xuan is not optimistic, although he will not give up immediately, he will inevitably feel a little turbulent.

However, Cao Xuan didn't open his mouth easily, especially unfinished projects rarely make judgments, and some large-scale projects are more cautious and share risks.

But anyway.Although Cao Xuan is not that godly, he still has authority. Under such a situation, everyone wants to ask his opinion, so they feel a little bit at ease.

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" has invested over 2 million yuan. Considering the income from advertising and copyrights, it has returned some blood. As long as the box office in the mainland reaches 3.5-4 million yuan, this movie will not lose money.

"5 million should be no problem, and the announcement and release of the schedule can keep up, and we should be able to make a rush."

Cao Xuan still has confidence in the movie, and there is no too strong opponent in the same period.

The only two films that can hit are "The Listener" by Liang Chaowei and Mr. Zhou, and "Search" by Director Chen. There are also some other movies at the box office, but they are far less threatening.

Hearing Cao Xuan's words, everyone's confidence was good. Although according to Cao Xuan's statement, everyone can't make much money, but there are so many works that make a lot of money.

Especially for movies, ten projects earn nine out of ten, and everyone is very happy if they can make some money.

Moreover, Cao Xuan was just conservatively estimating that he might earn more.

Fatty Yu organized a small banquet and wanted to celebrate simply. Cao Xuan excused jet lag and had a bit of a headache, so he went straight home by car.

In early July, the summer vacation was about to begin, Hu Jing hadn’t left work yet, Teacher Zeng was finishing up and was busy writing summaries, and Cao Xuan didn’t even have a warm hug when he returned home.

Cousin Cao Xuan got married for the second time, and his parents went back to his hometown to attend the wedding. The hard-pressed Boss Cao wandered around home, and could only persuade Cao Yang, who no longer knew him, and then watched "Bear Infested" with his son and daughter.

This new animation released in January this year has become popular in all primary schools and kindergartens in just half a year, and it has become a rival to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Cao Li, who was originally a supporter of Pleasant Goat, is now also a traitor, watching the two bears beat the bald Qiang violently every day.

"The bald head is really bad, cutting down trees to destroy the environment, and shooting people with guns."

Xiao Cao Li was filled with anger when he saw Bald Qiang hitting Bald Qiang with a gun, but Cao Xuan had a different opinion.

"He is also a poor man. He is bullied by his boss every day. If he doesn't cut down trees, he will have no food. He will also be beaten by bears. His life is really miserable. The worst thing is Boss Li."

"But he can do other things. With the tree gone, Xiong Da Xiong Er will have no home. He deserves to be beaten."

"Uh…"

Cao Xuan was really stunned by this sentence, but he could use some words that are not easy for adults to convince his daughter.

But then again, cutting down trees without permission is a crime, and survival is not easy, so you can change to another job. If you forgive because life is not easy, can thieves and robbers do evil because they are poor?

"My daughter was right."

Cao Xuan admitted defeat honestly, Xiao Cao Li snorted proudly, Cao Yang looked around, didn't know if he understood, anyway, he laughed at his own father, and then spit at him.

"It's against you."

Cao Xuan wiped all the blood on Cao Yang's face. If he hadn't kissed his son, he would have spit in his mouth.

"Hahaha hiccup~"

Cao Yang didn't understand either, he thought Cao Xuan was playing with him, smiling like a fool.

Little Cao Li looked at the childish father and son, and moved his butt to the side, for fear of being infected, which would lower the IQ of his upcoming senior class students.

The father and son were having fun, and Hu Jing came back from get off work, followed by Yang Mi who was carrying big and small bags.

"Son, do you miss your mother?"

Hu Jing took off her high heels, picked up her son first, and kissed Cao Xuan's cheek that had been wiped with saliva just now.

Cao Xuan's face turned pale, he turned to look at the smiling Cao Li, and mouthed KFC to shut his mouth.

Xiao Cao Li shook his head, stepped on the sofa and ran over to tell his price, a meal of KFC + today's homework.

Thinking about the empress of the East Palace who wanted to go crazy, Cao Xuan endured it.

When the time comes, he writes the handwriting more beautifully, so that the teacher can tell at a glance that it is ghostwritten, and then communicates with WeChat, and punishes the little girl to rewrite it twice.

Fighting with Lao Tzu, too young!

When I copied my homework when I was a child, her mother didn't even start to develop...

"They're not outsiders. Find a place to sit by yourself."

Cao Xuan greeted Da Mimi, and Da Mimi was obedient, and then took out a lot of snacks and gifts from the bag, which made Xiao Cao Li's eyes shine, and his small mouth called sweet.

"I like sister Mimi the most."

Cao Xuan resolutely dismantled the stage: "Didn't you say last time that you like Sister Yifei the most?"

"That's because sister Yifei bought me a Barbie doll."

Da Mimi waved her hand, proudly: "Sister will buy it for you next time, a complete set."

Cao Li sent a sweet kiss, Da Mi Mi was very happy, Cao Xuan sighed speechlessly, this girl is indeed his own daughter, she made the two mothers happy, even the older sister of the two mothers was dizzy.

After talking for a while, Cao Xuan and the two children continued to watch TV, and Da Mimi and Hu Jing talked about business.

When Da Mimi went home with Hu Jing today, she was actually looking for comfort and encouragement.

A few days ago, "Border Situation" starring Da Mimi was released, and the ticket sales data was not ideal. The box office in the first week was only less than 4000 million.

Fortunately, the movie has a small cost, and the box office can make a small fortune, and it won't let the big honey take the blame.

But counting "Golden Heist", two consecutive films failed to meet expectations, which somewhat frustrated her and her fans from the explosion of "33 Days of Broken Relationship".

Cao Xuan has been listening, hearing Da Mimi's words, he couldn't help complaining.

"Super dark horse, it's rare to see once a year, not every time you can hit it, last year was lucky for both of you, how could there be so many hits for you to run into?"

From Cao Xuan's point of view, Da Mimi's recent steps were obviously wrong.

After it became popular, I didn't want to build a solid foundation and stabilize popularity, and just blindly accepted the show. The exposure heat was there, but it would also consume the enthusiasm of fans and passers-by invisibly.

If this tossing continues, it doesn't take much. If the two movies don't improve, the word-of-mouth and appeal that Da Mimi has accumulated may be squandered.

This is not an exaggeration. There are many big names with empty fame and good popularity, but their box office appeal is weak.

It is because the quality of the works varies from high to low, good and bad are mixed, movies are not TV dramas, and it costs money to enter the theater.

Fans may buy it immediately, but most passers-by viewers are not confident, and generally have to wait and see word of mouth first.

Only a few actors and directors with long-term stable quality and low bad film rate will have a strong appeal if people believe in their works. As soon as a new movie is released, there will be a large number of fans and passers-by.

A drink and a peck, there is a cause and effect.

Fanxing has always followed the high-quality line, and its artists have also followed this path. Although there are some mediocre or off-the-wall works mixed in, overall they are still very good.

The most representative ones are undoubtedly Cao Xuan, and the first sister of Fanxing, Fan Xiaopang.

Since she joined Fanxing, she has had to be well-known by word of mouth and achieved success. Currently, she can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou and Zhang in the film industry, and has become the three most popular female stars at the box office in the Mesozoic Era.

Even after "The Avengers", Fan Xiaopang has half a foot in Hollywood, and he has the momentum of being the number one actress in domestic entertainment.

In addition to her personal qualifications and hard work, Fan Xing also owes her great contribution to her success today.

Damimi was also walking steadily before, but after entering the film industry and the fierce competition with Liu Tianxian, she became a little impatient, chose a more utilitarian route, and opened the book directly.

Such an advantage is obvious, the exposure and popularity remain high, and it once overwhelmed Liu Tianxian, becoming the most eye-catching little flower born in 85.

However, the side effects are also accumulating, and the negative evaluation is higher than that of Liu Tianxian, who has been playing steadily.

If any of her follow-up movies fail, or if Liu Tianxian explodes, it will cause backlash.

It is right to open the book to fight for your career, but you can't read blindly.

You don't sleep, you memorize "Three Hundred Tang Poems" for a month fluently, and you can even remember the decimal point, but you can't add 0.5 points to chemistry, and the volume must be rolled to the right place.

"You mean take it easy and focus on quality."

"Not to mention every high-quality work, but at least there is no need to be in such a hurry. The most important thing you should do now is to adjust your mentality. You must understand that you are no longer who you used to be."

What Cao Xuan said was very clear. Da Mimi was on the rise before, and she was not afraid of meat and vegetables, and she rushed fiercely, which is actually understandable.

But now it has reached a certain level of popularity, domestic entertainment and even Asia are regarded as the ceiling, it is very difficult to break through the ceiling, it is better to slow down and fight steadily.

In the past, we were in a state of catching up and couldn’t wait, so we had to work hard. Now that we have enough capital, we have the confidence to wait, so we can slow down appropriately, not rush to release new movies, consolidate and absorb popularity, and wait for the time to move.

To put it bluntly, every time you reach a certain position, you have a different mentality and approach.

It may be that Da Mimi and the team rose too fast to react, or even though they understood, they wanted to push Liu Tianxian to death.

But now that I have suffered two sap blows, I have regained awareness of the reality, and I have to calm down and plan the following development route more carefully and clearly.

"Look at Bingbing, and Zhou Xun's output, which is obviously less than the average popular ones. This is quality over quantity. It's best to have one movie a year or three movies every two years. If you're not sure enough, try not to overdo it." Frequent play."

Cao Xuan himself has an average of 1-2 movies per year, but he has the confidence, besides, he can support the box office, and even build projects around himself.

Damimi and the others have not yet reached this level, at least with their projects, the possibility of explosion is not high, so we have to wait for the project slowly, and don't be too anxious.

"If you don't mind, you can also act in a TV series or variety show appropriately, open up a new track, and develop in multiple lines.

Now that the Internet platform is on the rise, the influence of TV dramas and online dramas is not as bad as you think, and the boundaries are gradually blurring. Zhou Xun and Bingbing are still acting in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and Hu Ge has also accepted a new drama. You don’t have to Make a show, and try if you have a suitable book.

For now, your strengths are stronger in TV dramas, and variety shows are more open than Yifei, so it won't hurt to dig deeper. "

Cao Xuan felt that the two of them could go back and act in TV dramas properly. If he didn't have too many Hollywood books in his hand, he would be too busy, and he might not be able to make a drama for fun.

Da Mimi pondered for many times, obviously listening to something.

She had been chasing Liu Tianxian before, so she didn't have to think about anything, just keep going.

But now the gap between the two sides is not that big, and it is difficult to directly tell the winner. It is more of a protracted confrontation. In this way, she has to think about strategy, how to maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses, and try her best to play her own advantages.

Seeing that Da Mimi was being taught a lesson by Cao Xuan, Hu Jing's depression was gone, and it seemed that she had rekindled her fighting spirit, which saved her troubles directly, so she cared about another matter.

"The nomination list for the Hundred Flowers Awards in September has come out. After Mimi and Yifei are shortlisted, who do you think has hope?"

"I don't know, just watch the judges and audience vote."

Cao Xuan tightened his grip on his son, he didn't interfere at all, it didn't matter if he raised a few words, if he ended up sidelined, the empress of the East Palace would be happy, and he wouldn't even think about entering the gate of the West Palace at night.

Master Cao Duanshui still has this sensitivity, and he doesn't take this issue at all.

It would be good for Fanxing if the two of them get the best movie queen, if they don't, Fanxing will not lack this Hundred Flowers, so the company has normal public relations, but his boss won't bother.

Boss Cao hid, and Hu Jing rolled his eyes, but Da Mimi's eyes were firm.

She already has a Golden Eagle Empress, if she wins another Hundred Flowers Empress, she will be firmly suppressed by her in terms of awards surnamed Liu, which is an irresistible temptation for her.

And for Liu Tianxian, the Queen of Hundred Flowers is also determined to win.

If you win, you can win the round, and even the queen of the movie is better than the queen of the movie.

Losing, let alone doom, it is really difficult to turn around in the short term.
