Light and shadow player

Chen Zhixi approached him mainly about Zhou Xingxing.

Zhou Xingxing has been full of creative energy in the past two years. After finishing filming "The Mermaid", the filming of "Journey to the West: Defeating the Demons" started.

This time he didn't do it himself, but invited Xu Ke to direct and he was to supervise the production.

Top class Wu signed to join.

"He won't cooperate with us anymore." It's a pity for Chen Zhixi. Cheng Yu'an didn't have any childhood filters for Zhou Xingxing, and only regarded him as a partner, but other people in the company valued Zhou Xingxing very much. and Huayi."

"Still working with Huayi?" Cheng Yu'an sneered while packing his things.

At the beginning, there was such a big fuss over the money issue. After the trial results came out this year, Wang Zhonglei even blatantly mocked Zhou Xingxing: "The court understands movies better than him."

For another director, he would never be able to swallow this breath, but Zhou Xingxing was able to swallow it.

So Cheng Yu'an regarded him more as a shrewd businessman.

"Ahri paid the money." Chen Zhixi said, "Zhou Xingxing is a talented person, Huayi is now doing a lot of film and overseas investment, why would he invite Zhou Xingxing, this cooperation was facilitated by Ari."

"Ma Yun was originally a major shareholder of Huayi. Last year, Ari increased her holdings of Huayi's shares. Of course, she must do her best to support her."

"So Zhou Xingxing dumped us?" Cheng Yu'an said.

"Well, and the confidentiality measures are very good. When we got the news, they signed the contract. They didn't give us any time to react." Chen Zhixi was still there, but it was a pity that he couldn't cooperate with Zhou Xingxing for the second time.

"Don't sigh," Cheng Yu'an said, "Zhou Xingxing's energy has been abnormal these past few years. I don't think there's anything good about it. Let's just let it go if the cooperation fails. Anyway, we have enough of our own movies. If we invite such a big Buddha over, it's hard for us to serve him." , it is difficult for him to accept us. One "Mermaid" is enough."

It is said that people are old and smooth, but Zhou Xingxing's works after his old age have not seen his shrewdness and mellowness as a director.

Whether it is the narrative rhythm, the succession and transformation of the plot, or the expression of thoughts, he has lost the wanton and unconstrained style of his youth.

Zhou Xingxing's previous films were actually very rough in terms of technique, but his unscrupulous and unrestrained willfulness throughout the film, the aura and talent that can be felt through the screen, all have a fatal temptation for the audience.

Maybe as Fatty Wang said, when a person gets old, he can no longer face his former self, and he can no longer make the audience laugh presumptuously.

To put it bluntly, in the past few years and in the next few years, Zhou Xingxing is overdrawing the credibility of the word Zhou Xingxing in the hearts of the audience.

Especially after "Journey to the West", the audience no longer trusts Zhou Xingxing, and I have already paid back the movie tickets that I owe you.

He had to dig out "The King of Comedy" to collect money.

In the original time and space, Cheng Yu'an began to have doubts about Zhou Xingxing after "Journey to the West" and doubted his ability to direct independently and his ability to grasp a long story.

"Let's leave it at that for Zhou Xingxing. Let's stand on the last post and finish "The Mermaid" for him. The money that should be paid is a lot for him, so that we can get together and leave." Cheng Yu'an left the meeting room after finishing speaking. He took his assistant downstairs and left the company.

Why does Zhang Li, the producer of "Master", think that this film can sell for 4.5 million?
Xu Haofeng was first known because he was "the screenwriter of "The Grandmaster".

With the great blessing of Wang Moji, people have the opportunity to know Xu Haofeng, and then find that his writing energy is huge and his novels are abundant.

As a result, there are more dimensions to understand Xu Haofeng, and his film review collection also shows his profound film knowledge reserve and unique interpretation perspective.Many art school students gradually became his fans, and many people also collected a large number of film notes circulated among the people and schools.

Regarding his words, readers found that the feeling of frequent golden sentences is really related to Wang Sunglasses, but the latter is more reflected in the lines of movies.

This gave the producer of "Master" confidence. He felt that Xu Haofeng's style was similar to that of Wang Sunglasses. It should not be difficult for "Master" to sell 4.5 million.

But the market's performance has been astonishing.

The film is quite popular in WeChat Moments, and has a high reputation. It is considered a rare masterpiece of martial arts.However, the reality is cruel. This "circle of friends" is applauding. It was beaten by "Unexpectedly", which was reflected in advance in advance.

Movies always have Liao Fan, Jiang Wenli, Xiao Song Jia and Jin Shijie joining in, but the movie itself, from form to content, is not the kind that the public is familiar with.

The appearance presented in his films is different from commercial films, not the rivers and lakes that everyone wants to watch or is familiar with, nor is it the scene of the Republic of China literary films that everyone thinks, it is a more special one that belongs to Xu Haofeng himself. text form.

"Everyone is acting and talking, creating a sense of distance."

Also, Xiao Song Jia really looks good in a cheongsam!

very moist~
As a teacher at the Film Academy, Xu Haofeng has a wide network of contacts in the industry. Cheng Yu'an also went to the premiere of "Master" and wished the film a big hit.

"Master" has just won the Best Action Design Award at the Golden Horse Awards, which is why Zhang Li is confident.

At the premiere, Cheng Yu'an revisited one side of the film.

The street fight at the end was very flavorful,
That's enough energy, but the problem is, the audience won't eat it.

Cheng Yu'an also said nicely at the scene: "This is a film with a very personal style, and it is very good-looking."

I won't say anything else.

After the premiere, Cheng Yuan went home.

This December, the movie that audiences are looking forward to the most is "Looking for the Dragon". s story.

Wuerfan has a good reputation among audiences. He has never made a bad movie since his debut, which is very important. Both investors and audiences trust Wuerfan very much.

The second one is "Old Paoer" by Guan Hu.Aside from Wu Zhi and Li Yifeng who are very popular, what the audience most wants to see is Feng Xiaogang!
It's true that Feng Xiaogang likes to play tricks on people, but the only movie he starred in is "I Am Your Father".

This time he played the leading role again, and he performed extraordinary as soon as he shot it, and won the Golden Horse Best Actor by force.

The third is "The Villainous Angel" by Deng Chao and Sun Li's husband and wife shop.

Looking back, this film is not all bad. The biggest advantage of this film is that it completely woke up Deng Chao: "You are really not a comedy material! The current audience will not eat your set!"

Later, the films directed by Deng Chao usually have a serious core, transforming into a light comedy, and no longer engage in doggy comedy.

The "Villain Angel" incident was quite big, we will talk about it later.

As for "Detective Chinatown", which was released on the last day of 2015?
There is not much attention, and detective movies can't make any waves in the Lunar New Year file.
