Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 40 Happy Feihong surpasses Feng Xiaogang (please follow up)

"Daisy" is a love movie with gangster elements, directed by Chinese director Liu Weiqiang.

Liu Weiqiang's representative works include "Infernal Affairs", "Young and Dangerous", "Initial D" and "The Founding of an Army".

Another one.

It's "If Love Has a Will" produced in South Korea. It is the best among pure love films and made many viewers cry.

Both films have ratings above 8.0 in a certain category. From the perspective of users of this platform, a rating above 8.0 is considered a high-quality movie.

Xing Baizhou had his own considerations when choosing them.

Come back again.

Filming, making money, and leading female stars to improve, no one can be left behind.

Currently.

He had already taken a small step forward with Xu Qing. As for Gong Huang, his starting point was too high. Xing Baizhou had to surpass her to take her.

Now I got to know Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan again. They were both in the early stages of their careers and needed Xing Baizhou's guidance to make progress.

So two movies came into being.

Qingchun Yuanyuan, who is still in her junior year of college, is suitable for filming "If Love Has God's Will", while the charming Fan Xiaopang is suitable for filming "Daisy".

The script she read to Gao Yuanyuan last time.

It's "If Love Is Provident".

After Yuanyuan went back and watched it, she responded immediately: "Director Xing, I want to act and I want to make progress!"

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Yu Feihong held the script of "If Love Has God's Will" and became more and more fascinated by it. More than 20 minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

When she raised her head again, there were already two lines of tears on her face... This eldest sister is really a sentimental woman, she can cry even after reading a script.

No wonder she burst into tears on the set when she later directed "Love Has Remaining Life".

"Woooooo! Xiao Xing, brother, my biological brother, you must help me improve. Why are the scripts you wrote so good!?"

Yu Feihong grabbed his hand again and cried.

Xing Baizhou was wrapped in her warm palms and smiled happily: "Look at "Daisy" again, this one is also very good."

"You don't need to watch it, I just like "If Love Is Provident". I really want to make this movie. Please help me, brother...I must listen to you, just let me be the assistant director..."

The look on this woman's eyes makes people want to slam her down on the table, beat her and bully her...

But this was not a private room and there were people around. Xing Baizhou temporarily resisted this bad idea.

Let’s wait until she goes to the set.

When the time comes, Sister Fei Hong will definitely not be stingy and show off the alluring assets of a thirty-year-old charming woman in front of him.

"Sister Fei Hong, it's easy to talk about the assistant director's matter. Let's find a time to talk in depth later... It's getting late now..."

"Yeah, it's getting dark."

She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry to have delayed you for so long. Should I treat you to dinner!?"

Yes, we have to delay another night.

"Okay, where to eat?"

"There is a restaurant near here that offers authentic Cantonese food. How about we go and try it?"

"..."

That night.

We ate and chatted with Yu Feihong until nine o'clock in the evening. Feihong was reluctant to leave him and had a strong tendency to take him home.

But a phone call from Xu Qing woke Fei Hong up, which made her feel a little disappointed: "Oh, he and Xu Qing have already slept together... If I have that relationship with him again... does it count as interference?"

She didn't ask the question.

If Xing Baizhou knew about it.

It will definitely be like Zhang Mazi grabbing the county magistrate's wife's big breasts in "Let the Bullets Fly", pressing her against the bedside, and saying seriously: "It's not like interfering, it's called being uncontrollable!"

……

……

There is news about "Lost in Translation" that has been communicated for half a month. Lionsgate Pictures will send someone to deliver the original film in the next few days.

The film follows a split-account model, and the domestic agency rights are jointly won by China Film and "Baizhou Studio".

As for the box office abroad.

He used "director + script" to take some shares, and ultimately was able to get about 15% of the total box office, while Lionsgate could get about 25% through "funding + distribution".

After this calculation, this business is not a loss.

If the box office can exceed 100 million US dollars.

Then, he will receive 1500 million US dollars.

This is the benefit of working with Lionsgate.

If you cooperate with the six major Hollywood companies, it is estimated that you can only get a director + script remuneration of US$100 million at most.

Because the Six Majors have no shortage of people or scripts.

Receiving fixed remuneration is the basic treatment in the industry given by the six major companies to most "unknown" directors and actors. In Hollywood, if you want to use the split-account model, it is the exclusive right only for big directors and big stars.

For example, in "Avengers 4: Endgame", Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. received US$5500 million in dividends + US$2000 million in advance pay.

Another example is that only at Cameron's level will he sign a "box office split" or "profit split" contract with the producer.

After discussion with.

"Lost in Translation" will be released simultaneously in China, North America, Japan and South Korea, and is scheduled to be released on February 2, the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head!

……

Soon came the day of school.

After two months of screenings, "On the Road" has also come to an end, with the final box office set at more than 3500 million.

In the seven days of the Spring Festival alone, nearly 1800 million were contributed, which is more than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in one month... It shocked countless people in the industry!
  Everyone is questioning data fraud.

but.

In the end, all six princesses on CCTV confirmed the news.

7 million in 1800 days, it’s a sure thing.

In the whole year of 2000, only four films exceeded this number, which had to make filmmakers pay attention.

In this day and age, many people don’t believe that one can have such great spending power during the seven days of the Spring Festival.

Because everyone is busy visiting relatives and friends, either playing mahjong, drinking, going on blind dates, having snowball fights... Very few people go to the movies.

But it is precisely "People on the Road".

Let the filmmakers realize clearly - it turns out that the consumption power during the Spring Festival is so strong!

The words "Spring Festival" have also become popular due to the success of "People on the Road".

Many film companies are already preparing new movies, preparing to shoot them in the middle of the year, and then waiting for their release in the Spring Festival of 2002.

Through extensive media coverage, "People on the Road" has successfully become popular all over the country, and VCD sales are also rising.

Nortel and Xing Baizhou are making money!
  The film and television circles are discussing this matter——

"I can't understand why we go to the movies during the Spring Festival? Is it because mahjong is not fun, or is the snow not thick enough?!"

"Although it was postponed for a month, it still surprised me to surpass Feng Xiaogang's "Endless" by 3300 million!"

"The second film directed by a newcomer actually earned 3500 million yuan, ranking second at the box office of movies released in 2000. It's outrageous."

"If you include "Twelve Citizens", Xing Baizhou earned a total of 4800 million last year, close to million..."

"Damn it, he took all the money at the box office."

"As we all know! The first place at the box office last year is of little significance, so the real box office champion should be Xing Baizhou!"

"Feng Xiaogang is probably going to be so angry, haha!"

"..."

While receiving rave reviews.

There are also some negative comments.

The main focus is on the issue of release date, but this has no impact at all on "The Man on the Road".

Only people within the circle are concerned about these details, because outside the circle, no one will care whether it is postponed for more than a month.

The melon-eating masses only know.

This movie was the runner-up at the box office in 2000.

Which year a movie counts as box office is generally based on the day the movie is released, but sometimes, if it is too close to the end of the year, it will also be counted as the following year.

……

Nortel.

Great Hall.

A celebration party for "On the Road" is being held, and online media such as Sina and Sohu have been invited to the scene.

Principal Wu made an impassioned speech on the stage.

He not only expressed his affirmation of the film's success, but also showed his love for Xing Baizhou. He mentioned Xing Baizhou's name nine times in ten minutes of speech.

Originally, a celebration party did not need such a big battle, but Principal Wu wanted Xing Baizhou to stimulate other students and encourage them to study hard and not go to the arcade to play "King of Fighters 97" in the middle of the night, so it was so grand.

at this time.

Xing Baizhou was sitting in the front row, surrounded by the vice principal, director and other school leaders. The other students were so jealous when they saw him.

"Mad, why are you so awesome?"

"Someone is born to be the protagonist. It's so irritating."

"If you can't beat me, then join. I want to marry him and give him five sons. Haha, let's see if he listens to me in the future!"

"..."

While he was talking quietly to Director Liu of the Performance Department, Principal Wu, who had finished his speech, returned to the podium.

He adjusted his glasses, looked at Xing Baizhou, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Xing, do you have any plans for a new movie? If you have any difficulties, just come to me."

　Thank you Mingruo Leng Yiliu for the reward, and thank you all for voting!
