my movie years

Chapter 157 Earthshaking Changes

"Let me introduce, this is Mak Siu-fai, director Zhuang Wenqiang, they are directors who are very good at screenwriting just like you." Hua Tsai introduced two Hong Kong directors to Zhang Hao.

"Hi everyone, the "Infernal Affairs" you filmed is really an unparalleled masterpiece. When I was studying at the Film Academy, I used this series of films to watch and study when I was free, and I benefited a lot."

Zhang Hao was telling the truth, but it was not when he was in college, but more than ten years later in his previous life.

At that time, when he stepped into the film directing industry again from a commercial director, he had watched the "Infernal Affairs" movie series repeatedly.

Just watching "Infernal Affairs" is of no use to filming "Three-Body Problem", and he was forced to be reborn because of his poor filming.

Mak Siu Fai and Zhuang Wenqiang also had a good impression of this rising star director from the mainland, and they were in the living room with Hua Tsai, and the four chatted happily.

Da Mimi and Mrs. Hua Tsai were busy in the kitchen together, because Da Mimi was clumsy and was soon driven out of the kitchen by Mrs. Hua Tsai.

Da Mi Mi had to sit next to Zhang Hao, watching Zhang Hao chatting with the four of them.

"I have always liked the genre of gangster movies. When I went to the screenwriter next door in college, I also wrote the scripts of several gangster movies." Zhang Hao and Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang discussed the genre of gangster movies.

Hua Tsai's eyes lit up: "Oh, you? Have you ever written a script for a gangster movie? Can you tell us the story?"

"Yes, yes, tell us, we are also very interested." Mai Zhaohui echoed.

Zhang Hao said: "They are all clumsy works, there is nothing to talk about, but there is a script that I really like, called "Wu Shuang"."

As he said that, Zhang Hao briefly told the script and story of "Wu Shuang", which made Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang feel elated.

"This script is full of Hong Kong flavor, Director Zhang."

"Just call me Zhang Hao."

"Okay, Zhang Hao, if you don't mind, can you give me this book? I want to direct it myself." Zhuang Wenqiang said.

Mai Zhaohui was dissatisfied: "What do you mean, director Zhang Hao, why not give the script to me! I will shoot."

Hua Tsai stopped the two directors: "Don't worry, Xiao Hao, do you want to direct this movie yourself?"

"Of course not," Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Well, if the two directors are interested, they might as well co-direct."

Infernal Affairs was co-directed by Lau Wai Keung and Mak Siu Fai, with Zhuang Wenqiang as the screenwriter, and "Guan Yunchang" in 2011 was co-directed by Mak Siu Fai and Zhuang Wenqiang.

Of course, Guan Yunchang, played by Zhen Zibao, was crushed by Jiang Wen's Cao Cao throughout the whole process. The original story of Guan Yu was filmed in "The Biography of Cao Cao".

Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang looked at each other, they both agreed that it was feasible, "Okay then, we will co-direct."

Zhang Hao looked at Da Mi Mi beside him and said, "I also hope that the two directors will take care of Mi Mi more and give her a chance."

"Of course, Ms. Yang is an excellent actor, and such an actor is the object that anyone wants to work with." The two directors said.

Hua Tsai also said: "Don't forget me, I think I can also participate."

"Hua Tsai, do you still want to run away?"

"It's better to find Chao Wei again. Andy Lau and Chao Wei are working together again, which is very topical."

Looking at Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang who were discussing enthusiastically, Zhang Hao silently said sorry to Fa Ge and Guo Tianwang.

He returned "Wu Shuang" to Zhuang Wenqiang, but Fa Ge and Guo Tianwang probably missed this project.

After having dinner at Andy Hua Tsai's house, Zhang Hao and Da Mimi left and planned to return to the mainland the next morning.

After taking a shower in the hotel at night, Da Mimi lay in Zhang Hao's arms and asked, "Honey, didn't you say that Hong Kong Island movies have fallen? Why do you still contact them?"

"The decline is an indisputable fact, but there are still such a group of outstanding filmmakers. It is better to form a good relationship than to become a competitor." Zhang Hao said.

"That's true," Da Mimi bit Zhang Hao's ear, exhaling like blue: "My contract is about to expire next month, and I plan to switch to your studio. You have to support me."

"Of course, you have been the proprietress since you came here, and our studio will soon be reorganized into a company." Zhang Hao said.

"What's the name of the new company?"

"Let me think about it, how about Tian Mi?"

Da Mi Mi finally let go of Zhang Hao's ears, and felt a little sweet while smiling: "Tian Mi, you look very good."

The Butterfly Effect crew, because Zhang Hao was away, could only shoot some simple shots, so there was a backlog of filming work.

After Zhang Hao came back, the shooting progress of the crew suddenly accelerated, and the scenes of several young leading actors were concentrated on filming.

The camera followed the backs of the two children, and Xiaomei and Xiaobin jumped into the arms of the mother played by Zhou Xun.

"Children, I will never let you leave me again." Zhou Xun cried holding the two children.

And Xiao Wu also had a happy birthday, and then grew up healthily, and the three children all had a happy ending.

Only the male lead, Gao Qi, strangled himself with the umbilical cord in his mother's womb, and used his own suicide in exchange for a happy ending for others.

After losing his child, his mother finally remarried, had a child again, and lived happily.

After several shots were shot, it was announced that the four young actors had officially finished filming from the crew, and it was already the end of April.

"Congratulations, congratulations to our little actor for finishing the film." Zhang Hao clapped his hands and was the first to congratulate.

The girls in the make-up group sent flowers to the four young actors to congratulate them on their finale.

Four young actors came to Zhang Hao with flowers in their hands and said, "Brother Director, let's take a photo together!"

"Okay, okay, let's take a photo together."

Ever since, the four young actors took a photo with Zhang Hao, took a group photo with the crew, and took a photo with several adult leading actors, officially ending the filming of the "Butterfly Effect" crew.

Before leaving, the four young actors were still a little bit reluctant. After almost a month in the crew, they all got along with each other.

Zhang Hao joked, "You four, don't you think it's because you don't want to go back to school?"

Unexpectedly, the four children said in unison: "Filming is so fun, we all want to do it, and we don't want to go back to school."

"Uh," Zhang Hao was speechless, and then persuaded: "Filming is fun, but remember that you are still young, and the most important thing is to go to school.

If you want to make a movie, then work hard to get into the acting department and become a real actor! "

"Thank you director, we will work hard." The four young actors saluted the young pioneers together, and followed the parents back.

After the young actors left, the crew was finally able to focus on filming the scenes of the adults.

Compared with child actors who have ups and downs, which affect the shooting state, as real actors, adults are very stable when filming, and the filming progress is very fast.

Until now, apart from Chen Kun who has read the complete script, Da Mi Mi, Lao Hu Lei Jiayin and other leading actors can only see the part of the script that concerns them.

Chen Kun was also told by Zhang Hao that he was not allowed to tell other actors the truth about the hero.What Zhang Hao wants is the ignorance and ignorance of other actors, who don't know what happened.

As a result, other actors were in a cloudy state when shooting.

Especially Da Mi Mi, who will be a restaurant waiter for a while, play a prostitute for a while, and go to college with the hero Gao Qi for a while.

It made her look confused, and she asked Zhang Hao every day what happened to the Xiaomei she played.

In such cloudy and foggy shooting, the release date of Guo Fan's second movie "This Little Thing of First Love" will soon be ushered in.

There are very few films released during the May Day period this year. The most recent Chinese-language film is "The Golden Heist" directed by Ning Hao, which was released on April 24.

The film was released for a whole week from Monday, and won the box office of 6225.4 million in the first week, becoming the box office champion of the week.

But starting from "A Little Thing of First Love", the good days of "The Golden Heist" are coming to an end.

Because he was busy filming "The Butterfly Effect", Zhang Hao did not attend the premiere of "A Little Thing of First Love", but only helped promote the film on Weibo.

The film's leading actor, Yang Yang, is considered a minor celebrity, Zhou Yutong is a completely unknown actor, and director Guo Fan has a successful work.

Therefore, at the beginning of the film's release, the attention was not high.

But who would have thought that this youth film would be so powerful.

After the initial word-of-mouth fermentation, the film ushered in a big hit at the box office, and then "The Avengers", which was released on May [-], received two slaps.

Shanghai Academy of Visual Arts, although May [-]st is a holiday, there are still many students staying at the school.

In the dormitory where Zhou Yutong lived before, several little sisters were discussing eagerly.

"Xiaoqi, Yutong's movie is released, let's support her together!" A girl suggested.

"I'm not going, what's there to support." The girl named Xiaoqi frowned, unwillingly.

Another girl said: "Don't pay attention to her, she is jealous, let's go and see first!"

"Okay..." The two girls went to a nearby cinema to watch a movie together, leaving Xiaoqi alone in the dormitory in a daze.

In fact, what the two of them said was correct, Xiaoqi was indeed jealous, so jealous that she had lost sleep these few nights.

Although Shanghai Academy of Visual Arts also has an acting department, compared to the Shanghai Drama Academy next door, it is simply not worth it.

But by chance, Zhou Yutong was different, he blossomed and starred in a movie.

Looking at the main creative lineup of the movie "A Little Thing of First Love", director Guo Fan has a "Shark Beach", the producer and screenwriter is the famous Zhang Hao, and the male lead Yang Yang once starred in "Dream of Red Mansions".

What's this?This is a sign that Zhou Yutong is taking off.

Xiaoqi knew that Zhou Yutong had signed a contract with Haotian Studio and became the first artist under it.

What does this mean?This means that Zhou Yutong will have the opportunity to star in Zhang Hao's movie in the future.

If the movies directed by Guo Fan are not enough to make people excited, then starring in the movies directed by Zhang Hao is enough to make Xiaoqi jealous.

Lying on the bed and touching fish, Xiao Qi became more and more jealous as she thought about it, so she simply got into bed together, dressed up, and went to watch "A Little Thing of First Love".

On April 27, "A Little Thing of First Love" officially landed in theaters, and on the first day, it scored 1135.6 million box office.

Since last year, there has been a whirlwind of youth movies in the film market. When "A Little Thing of First Love" was released, this whirlwind turned into a storm.

Next, the film continued to make great strides, and scored 28 million and 29 million box office on April 1456.8 and 2311.4 respectively, reaching 4903.8 million in the first week.

However, because "The Golden Heist" has been released since Monday, it won this week's box office champion by virtue of the number of days.

Even so, the box office of "A Little Thing of First Love" still scared Ning Hao into a cold sweat.

He really didn't expect that the combination of Zhang Hao and Guo Fan, plus two newcomers, could create such outstanding results.

The rapid growth of the box office of "A Little Thing of First Love" is inseparable from the current developed media information.

In the past, a movie with good quality but with no well-known directors and starring actors needed a long time of word-of-mouth fermentation, and finally achieved box office growth.

But it’s different now. With a mobile phone, fans can use their mobile phones to recommend this movie on the Internet the moment they finish watching a movie.

Weibo, post bars, forums, Douban, ubiquitous self-media, etc., can all become tools for word-of-mouth promotion.

Although this also gave competitors the opportunity to arrange trolls to discredit the film, the quality of the film is excellent and it can still survive in the fiercely competitive market.

"A Little Thing of First Love" is supervised and written by Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao has accumulated a lot of fans. Director Guo Fan also has a "Shark Beach" as the base, so it is not unknown.

Therefore, "A Little Thing of First Love" is not a movie for complete newcomers.

During the May Day holiday, "A Little Thing of First Love" continued to run in theaters.

April NO.30 scored 2632.6 million box office, and May 2976.8st scored 1.05 million box office, successfully pushing the film's box office past [-] million to [-] million.

The film production cost of "A Little Thing of First Love" was only 850 million, and the cost of publicity and distribution was included, and it was less than 2000 million.Four days after its release, the film has declared a profit.

With the box office hit of the film, Guo Fan became famous again. The success of one film is luck, but the two films cannot be explained by luck.

Although some media believe that Zhang Hao is the biggest guarantee for the film's success, no one can deny Guo Fan's contribution.

But the biggest harvest is undoubtedly the two leading actors.

Yang Yang became a popular idol with the film, and the senior A Liang he played has become the dream senior in many people's minds.

After watching the video, many school girls who are still in school have become fans of Yang Yang, very fanatical.

Zhou Yutong is not bad either. He wears black-rimmed glasses in front of him. He looks black and thin. He still thinks about Senior A Liang, which makes all the sisters who watch the movie hate it.

But then the part where the ugly duckling turned into a white swan was too amazing, and it really fascinated many viewers.

When Guo Fan led the leading actors to promote, he basically took the route of colleges and universities. Every time he went to a college, he was surrounded by enthusiastic fans.

"There are a lot of people!" Zhou Yutong went from being excited and curious at the beginning to being calm now.

She's accepted that she's famous, that she's a star, and that identity fits in pretty well.

"Looking at it like this, we will be inseparable for a while." Yang Yang looked helplessly at the fanatical movie fans surrounding the car.

During the publicity yesterday, he got out of the car, and was immediately surrounded by fans, who were almost touched all over his body.

After finally escaping from the claws of fans, Yang Yang still has lingering fears.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Guo Fan turned his head and said to the two leading actors: "Enjoy this moment, this is the honor you all deserve."

"I still want to thank you, director. Without your support, we would never have the opportunity we have now." Yang Yang said gratefully.

"You don't need to thank me, thank you, Director Zhang." Guo Fan said.

"What is Director Zhang doing now?" Zhou Yutong asked.

"He is busy filming!"

The May Day holiday ended, and the film box office began to decline on May [-]nd, but it still maintained a healthy decline.

The media predicts that the final box office of the film will be around [-] million, which is not a problem
Now Guo Fanshui has really become a favorite. The value of a director with two consecutive films exceeding [-] million is self-evident.

As a result, many film and television companies were quick to hear the news and wanted to invite Guo Fan to their company. The conditions were easy to negotiate, but Guo Fan sternly refused.

Let alone Zhang Hao is his bole, appreciate him and give him a chance.Guo Fan is a man of faith, and I will definitely repay those who give me the opportunity to help me.

Moreover, after "A Little Thing of First Love", Guo Fan and Haotian Studio still have contracts for three films.

Zhang Hao also revealed to Guo Fan that the studio will be reorganized in the future and hopes that Guo Fan will continue to stay in the newly established company.

Because of so many copyrights of science fiction novels in the hands of the new company, and Zhang Hao's screenwriting ability, Guo Fan has to stay in the newly established company.

In addition, Zhou Yutong also encountered poaching, but the high liquidated damages still made these brokerage companies retreat.

After the promotion period of the film ended, Zhou Yutong continued to return to school.

"Hey, isn't this a big star? Why don't you go to filming and go back to school instead?" Xiaoqi sneered.

Zhou Yutong frowned secretly. She could feel that Xiaoqi, who had a good relationship with her before, had changed.

"My agent said that I still need to come back to study, the foundation is solid." Zhou Yutong explained.

"It seems that this Haotian studio doesn't treat you very well. There is no reason for a famous star to go back to school." Xiaoqi still said the same tone.

"Xiaoqi, how can you talk like that? Yu Tong, don't pay attention to her, she has become like this since you went to act in the movie."

"Yes, yes, tell us about your filming!"

Seeing most of the enthusiastic students around him, as well as a few students with jealous expressions, Zhou Yutong understood that his world had changed and was no longer pure.

She suddenly thought of what Cai Runping said to her before going back to school: "Yutong, are you ready for the earth-shaking changes in the whole world?"

The world has not undergone any earth-shaking changes, but Zhou Yutong's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and even Zhou Yutong feels strange.

For a while, she felt confused and a little overwhelmed.

This is also normal, becoming famous at a young age, the most difficult thing to grasp is the change in mentality, fame and applause, accompanied by doubts, insults, ridicule and jealousy.

If you get through it, you can become a real star. If you can't get through it, the final result may not be too good.

　It’s much better today, and I’m starting to resume the [-]D update. I will update one chapter first, and the other chapter will be presented later.
