Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

The conversation with Nie Wei gave Ma Dong a new idea about "Infinite Challenge". After Nie Wei explained the matter clearly, he could focus more on the movie.

Soon, the weekly box office list of Chinese movies was released. Without any surprise, "Speed ​​Scandal" undoubtedly won the weekly box office champion, and it was actually only on the list for six days. The six-day box office crushed all the movies in the same period and exceeded the second place by a large margin. It can be seen how terrifying the influence of "Speed ​​Scandal" is this week.

51 million!!! This is the six-day box office figure of "Speed ​​Scandal".

This figure even exceeds the weekly box office data of Hollywood blockbusters "The Day After Tomorrow" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King" in the first half of the year. Even in terms of the potential of total box office, "Speed ​​Scandal" also has the hope of surpassing these two blockbusters. In the eyes of the outside world, the only one that can be compared with this movie is probably Nie Wei's masterpiece "New Police Story".

This also makes many people in the industry feel that the revival of Chinese films has arrived. Hollywood's light and shadow special effects are not invincible. Nie Wei can suppress the other party with just a movie with a tens of millions of investment. This undoubtedly gives a ray of hope to many small film companies, just like the emergence of countless police and gangster films in China after "New Police Story". A week after the release of "Speeding Scandal", a film company has already begun planning a new family comedy.

Such a follow-up work can be imagined. In addition to the subject matter being infinitely close to Nie Wei's film, the content is also very similar. Some even directly change the father to the mother, or the daughter to the son, or the grandson to the granddaughter, slightly modify the story, and then change some lines and names, and the result is a new movie.

Such a ridiculous plan, what is even more ridiculous is that the company bosses are very satisfied with these script outlines that can be called "shoddy". Countless new movie plans and promotions have emerged on the Internet at once, such as "My Young Grandma" and "Grandpa is 36 This Year"...

Many netizens do not buy it, but there are also some who are really interested. Especially with a group of people fanning the flames behind the scenes, the plans and promotions of several movies have become popular, which also makes the bosses behind these movie plans more confident and start to really invest real money in such movies.

Nie Wei has not been online recently. This matter was told to him by Wang Zhonglei.

"Then issue a statement saying that there is no plan for any sequel to this film, and at the same time advise movie fans to choose movies rationally and not be confused by some illusions." Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei suggested.

Wang Zhonglei nodded in agreement and said bitterly: "Our Chinese film and television industry is ruined by these parasites. They don't want to make good movies, but want to make trouble from other people's successful works. Do you think there will be any good if there are too many such people in the industry?"

Nie Wei deeply agreed with Wang Zhonglei's words.

Hong Kong was called the 'Oriental Hollywood' in the past, and its status in the entertainment industry in Asia is unquestionable, but now it has long been in decline. The reason is that there are too many parasites like this, who are not enterprising, but only know how to follow the trend, and shoot a good theme badly, but don't think about creativity. As a result, the entire entertainment industry is becoming more and more decadent, and finally the market is declining, and talents are lost, and it is no longer as glorious as it used to be.

Think about it, more than ten years later, the representative artists of Hong Kong are still the older generation of artists from the 1970s and 1980s, and there are very few new artists who have come forward. You can imagine the loneliness behind it.

Nie Wei also hates these guys very much, but unlike Wang Zhonglei who can only curse them but can do nothing about them, Nie Wei has a lot of means in his mind.

Now they can follow suit and imitate movies with an investment of more than 10 million, but what if the investment figure increases to 50 million, 100 million, or even more? Nie Wei doesn't need to do anything, just ensure the quality of his work, then gradually occupy the market, improve the audience's taste, and naturally the film industry will automatically enter a reshuffle stage.

Similarly, the same is true for the variety show industry. What Nie Wei is doing now is to muddy the waters and be the strong catfish among the sardines. While eating the sardines, he forces them to follow his lead, otherwise they will be eliminated.

Moreover, these guys are now stirring up trouble online, which is not all negative for Nie Wei. While they are following suit, they are also advertising for "Speeding Scandal" in disguise, so that on the second day of the hype, the box office of "Speeding Scandal", which had been falling, actually rose slightly.

But what made Nie Wei even more relieved was that fortunately, not all the people in the circle were just like this group of scum who only knew how to follow the trend. There were also some people who were also analyzing "Speeding Scandal", but they were not following the trend, but really learning the knowledge used in "Speeding Scandal" that was worth learning.

Before the class started, the students who might become the future great directors of China were chatting in groups of three or two in the directing department of Kyoto Film Academy. One of the men was particularly obvious, because the students nearby looked only in their early twenties, and only he had a face over thirty, not like a student, but more like a teacher.

His name was Ning Hao, and he was also a member of the directing department of Kyoto Film Academy.

He was also one of the recent legends of the directing department. His first work "Thursday, Wednesday" won the Best Director Award at the Kyoto University Student Film Festival that year.

Then when he graduated in 2003, he won the Tokyo Ginza Film Festival Grand Prize with his own film "Incense", and then became a highly anticipated newcomer in the circle.

Later, he served as the executive director of a TV series and directed a movie again. The response in the circle was also good, but the box office was not very good. Gradually, he realized that it was obviously not feasible to only follow the path of literature and art. As a director You must also be proficient in commercial films.

So when he heard that Kyidian would have an analysis class today on "Speed ​​Scandal", which is regarded as a typical commercial film, he immediately ran back to his alma mater to attend the class.

In fact, there are really many people coming. On weekdays, there are only twenty or thirty people in a class. Today, the class is full. Some people can only stand in the aisle and look up. There are almost a hundred people.

Among them, not one student from the directing department was absent. Even a student with a fever insisted on coming to class despite being sick. In their words, they really wanted to see the film made by a student from the acting department. How worthy of such praise from the outside world.

As the bell rang, the professor walked into the classroom on time. Seeing so many people in the classroom, his face was slightly surprised, but he quickly covered it up. After a brief opening remarks, the movie "Speed ​​Scandal" was directly shown.

The source of the film was provided by Nie Wei to the Kyoto Film Academy. It will not be used for commercial purposes and will only be shown during classes within the school. As the highest art school in the country, they have taken quite good confidentiality measures in this regard. Will bring any loss to Nie Wei.

In fact, many movies and even foreign blockbusters are brought to the school by Kyidian's Director Department to show to students during the screening period, and then analyzed. The movies can even be selected by the Director Department as lecture material, and the film and other films are analyzed. It is also an honor for the director behind the scenes.

After all, the students of Jingdian Directing Department are likely to be great directors in the future, and what they can appreciate must be good movies.

The nearly two-hour movie ended unknowingly. It was not until the professor pressed the pause button that the students watching the movie gradually came to their senses. Especially those who were standing, many subconsciously began to rub their legs and stretch their waists. , I didn’t feel it at all when I was watching the movie just now, but now that the movie is over, the fatigue caused by standing for a long time immediately spreads throughout my body.

"Everyone has watched the movie. Now let me analyze the reasons for the success of this movie." The professor turned off the projection equipment and began to lecture.

"The first is the theme selection of this movie. It is very novel and has never appeared in the current Chinese film market. From this point of view, it is very curious for the audience. In addition, this movie is amazing from beginning to end. They all captured the main thread without blurring the focus of the audience..."

The professor on the stage was talking eloquently, while Ning Hao in the audience was taking notes seriously.

And the more he listened to his expression, the more excited he became. He walked in with curiosity from the beginning. Now after watching the movie and after the professor's analysis, he suddenly felt a little admiration for Nie Wei, his junior brother. Especially since the other party is not a directing professional, this is just his debut film, but some of the values ​​shown in his film have even surpassed Ning Hao himself.

"I really want to get to know someone like this." As soon as he closed the note, Ning Hao suddenly felt a desire in his heart.

There are many people who have the same thoughts as Ning Hao. Many students in the directing department have dispelled their little doubts about Nie Wei after watching the movie. Although some students who love literary films are not satisfied with the commercial atmosphere of this film. The film is not too serious, but they also cannot deny the mature temperament shown in this film.

And this is only Nie Wei's first work. From this point of view, it has already killed more than 90% of the students present. Of course, although they agree in their hearts, they are also a little unconvinced. After all, Nie Wei is from the acting department. students, but the directorial works they have produced now outperform their directing department. Many students have secretly determined that their debut films in the future will be better than this movie.

Whether this dream can be realized is another matter, but at least the learning atmosphere in the directing department has suddenly improved, which also makes the teachers in the directing department feel very happy.

Little did they know that Nie Wei, who had been regarded as an imaginary enemy by many students from the directing department at the same school, was currently attending the premiere of "The Promise".

He was a guest invited by Xie Tingfeng, so when the organizers arranged seats, they specially arranged him next to Xie Tingfeng.

Nie Wei felt that the two-hour movie was very long to watch. Although this movie appeared a year earlier, the content was not much different from what he remembered, and it still had the same style.

While watching the movie, Nie Wei, who has keen senses, even heard the yawns from the audience behind him. One can imagine the impression that many viewers had on this movie.

However, Xie Tingfeng, who was next to Nie Wei, looked at it very seriously, with a hint of satisfaction on his expression. He was obviously very satisfied with his performance in the film.

After the movie ended and they agreed to have dinner with Xie Tingfeng, Nie Wei did not forget to congratulate director Chen Kaige.

But what Nie Wei didn't expect was that he would meet Guan Xiaotong and his daughter again in the process.

"Director Nie, congratulations on the success of your movie." As soon as the two parties met, Guan's father immediately congratulated Nie Wei enthusiastically. The results of "Speed ​​Scandal" amazed countless people. He also watched it with his daughter. To be honest, He really felt a little bit regretful in his heart.

After all, look at Song Zuer now. "Speed ​​Scandal" has only been released for a few days, and the previously unknown little girl has immediately become a hot star in the child star world.

However, this regret was quickly forgotten by him. In his opinion, he did make a mistake in "Speeding Scandal", but that role was just a likable vase, how could it be compared with the role of Xiao Qingcheng in "The Promise"?

He still preferred to believe that this big-budget movie would bring more development to his daughter's career.

Nie Wei did not show any displeasure to Guan's father because of the failure of the last cooperation. While accepting the congratulations with a smile, he also did not forget to praise Guan Xiaotong's performance in the film.

"Yes, my child loves to think about acting and prefers challenging roles." For some reason, Guan's father said this.

Nie Wei heard it and immediately lost interest in chatting with him.

In the evening, Nie Wei treated Xie Tingfeng to a meal of Kyoto roast duck. Neither of them drank during the meal. Xie Tingfeng had the task of promoting the movie tomorrow, and Nie Wei himself did not like drinking.

"We will be opponents soon." After dinner, while waiting for the car in the parking lot, Xie Tingfeng could not help but smile to Nie Wei beside him.

"I'm ready to meet the enemy. Come on?" Nie Wei responded with a smile, knowing that Xie Tingfeng was talking about the movie. With the release of "The Promise", among the movies released at the same time, only "Speed ​​Scandal" can be regarded as its rival.

"I won't lose this time." Xie Tingfeng said this with confidence. Although Nie Wei's performance was amazing, he was also full of confidence in "The Promise". The work of the great director Chen Kaige, it brought together the first-line stars of China, Japan and South Korea, and the production cost was over 100 million yuan. With so many conditions added together, is there still a possibility of failure?

If Nie Wei knew what Xie Tingfeng was thinking, he would definitely tell him that it was really possible.

The next day, Nie Wei came to the company early and waited for the box office data feedback of the day. After all, the giant beast "The Promise" entered the Lunar New Year's period. It can be said that Huayi is observing the box office strength of this film, and the first day is particularly important.

Soon, the box office data reported by the first batch of theaters was transmitted back to Huayi Company.

Thanks to the generous rewards from Haohan De Sheep, Long Ting, and Luanshi Xiaoye book friends!
