Chapter 600: Fatty Wei is fooling again

The Chinese film scene in early May was enveloped with a strange sadness.
"Deep Sea Shark 2", "End of the World", and "Global Disaster" these three Hollywood movies directly dominated the charts. On the day of their premiere, they hit 50 million, 30 million, and 25 million box offices. !
Among them, Andorra's "Deep Sea Shark 2" broke the amazing record of the highest box office premiere in the history of Chinese movies.
The popularity of the first film as a primer, coupled with the existence of various suspense and climaxes in the film itself, led to a sensation in the popularity of this film. Even after the premiere, various stills and news bombarded the whole Movie circle.
Andorra is a great success!
His success is not only in the box office of the movie. Even when he came to China to promote the film, most of China’s first-line celebrities ran to the Andorra field under the arrangement of the company, and countless reporters crowded around. The entrance of the entire Yanjing Grand Theater was crowded at this glance. It was very lively, even indirectly, and Andorra came to China to promote it as one of the hot spots of the entire China media in May.
Andorra saw so many Chinese artists sitting on the stage to support him, his face inevitably showed a smile, he looked arrogant, and at the same time, there was a sense of inexplicable disdain deep in his heart.
Of course, he would not show this kind of disdain. Instead, he took photos with these stars one by one, smiling and gesturing to talk about some new movie arrangements and his expectations for the movie's final box office.
Most entertainers are still able to maintain their saneness. When talking, they still retain the relatively equal attitude of everyone, but some small fresh meats and hosts are very excited. They can't wait to explain their ancestors to the 18th generation. It is one wave high to the other, hoping to make Andorra more familiar.
When Andorra faced them, he was smiling, very happy.
However, the happier he laughed, the more disdainful he was, and the more ridiculous feeling he could not even express.
Most of China in May belonged to Andorra.
After the promotion, countless little fresh meats posted photos with Andorra on Weibo, and one after another was accompanied by a specious cooperation that seemed to have a chance to cooperate with the director of Andorra. The words "Andorra comes to China" became the hot spot of the entire Weibo search within one day...
The limelight was the same for a while.
As for the two films "The End of the World" and "Global Disaster", they continue to advance by leaps and bounds. Although they are not as good as "Deep Sea Shark 2", they are also exploding in popularity. After the two directors came to China, they have won countless numbers. Xia Entertainment’s welcome and invitation to cooperate, eventually returned with a full load and did not enjoy it...
In the entertainment industry, I don't know when it seems that there is a wind of fawning.
And this wave of wind blew for several days before it slowly stopped.
Of course, this is understandable.
Basically, most Chinese artists don’t let go of any opportunity to meet Hollywood directors and become international artists. Most of them want to have their own figure in international blockbusters, even if it’s a show-stopper, just a few words. Semi-foreign English is enough.
at least……
The compelling aspect is completely different.
At least international celebrities and Chinese celebrities, in terms of their gimmicks and their value, cannot be described in one sentence at all.
Many things have two sides.
The Hollywood movies in May were outrageous in China, and the Hollywood directors in May were outrageous in China.
However, the Chinese movie in May has a sad taste inexplicably.
On the premiere day of Zhang Tong's "Life with Money", the box office was 7 million.
This data can't be said to be on the street, but it can't be said to be explosive. It can only be said that the performance is quite satisfactory and stable and profitable.
Ranked fourth in the box office for the film premiere in May.
Fourth place, compared to the third place box office...
Indescribable.
Such a movie looked very embarrassing in the box office battle in May, and it was simply crushed.
But Zhang Tong's "Life with Money" turned out to be the last card in the Chinese movie in May.
Other movies basically hit the street for most...
Art director Li You's movie "I Am a Cow" is even more fortunate to get the embarrassing data of 500,000 at the box office in a single day...
Half a million?
Yes!
You read that right, the total investment of this nationally screened film is 7 million yuan, and only half a million yuan was spent on the premiere day, when it was supposed to burst.
This……
It's like a joke.
Of course, the reputation of the movie is very good. As long as it can be watched in theaters, it is basically Li You's diehard fan. The reviews of this movie on Tomato Movies are even more rave reviews...
After all, fans who can spend money to watch a cow eat grass are their own artistic concepts. They are naturally not a problem and can show a sense of superiority.
This is good.
However, in a sense, it also shows that Huaxia Movies has once again fallen into an awkward position.
Of course, these completely different comparisons actually make many directors very uncomfortable.
This includes Fatty Wei who is filming "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" in Taidao, and Xu Qifeng, the new director of "Best Alien".
………………………………
The afternoon of May 3rd.
"Ayuan is in Hollywood, compared to Andorra in China... It suddenly feels quite ironic." Fatty Wei finished smoking a cigarette in silence and squatted by the small river in front of the school, silently watching the river flowing in the distance.
"Well, yes, it's a pity that we don't live up to it! There are good scripts and good directors, but they are rarely good movies with word of mouth. In fact, our Chinese movies are not bad." Xu Qifeng took over Wei Fatty The cigarette handed over also slowly started to smoke.
He met Fatty Wei accidentally during a live on Taidao. At first, the two of them politely complimented each other. At the same time, Xu Qifeng was also a little nervous. After all, Fatty Wei is the best director, and he is now He didn't have any title, he was invisibly short of Fatty Wei, but after a deep conversation, Xu Qifeng suddenly felt that Fatty Wei was very enthusiastic about him and he didn't have any pretensions.
So as soon as they were free, they made an appointment to smoke together and talk about movies together...
Xu Qifeng is more angry and young. Sometimes he yells at him, and sometimes he also scolds Tianyu's management system. In fact, he is a bit dissatisfied with the top management of Tianyu.
After Fatty Wei saw this scene, he had a bottom in his heart, and he would inevitably instill some "remote" benefits into Xu Qifeng.
Anyway...
Xu Qifeng knew that Fatty Wei was trying to dig himself, but it would be impossible for him to change jobs for a while.
after all……
He and Tianyu still have a three-year contract!
"It's useless to say it. This is a very real world... At the same time, it is an era of commercial movies. Your movie box office is good, and no matter how trash you are, you are also awesome. Your movie box office is not good, and your reputation is good. It's also rubbish, very realistic." Fatty Wei laughed.
"I think the future will get better... My new movie is preparing to invest in it. This time, I plan to do a big job with Hollywood movies to add glory to China."
"How much investment?"
"Two billion!"
"What about the script?"
"The script I am creating is a big movie about aliens invading the earth and earthlings resisting."
"A copy of "City Fortress"?"
"No... By the way, Director Wei, what do you think of "City Fortress"?"
"I don't know. The special effects from the trailer look pretty good. As for the others... I'm not a god, I really can't predict..." Fatty Wei shook his head.
"I think it will flutter, even I think it will turn into a joke."
"why?"
"I don't know, that's how I feel." Xu Qifeng stood up after smoking his cigarette. "Director Wei, I have to go. There is a press conference in the Tianyu branch. I have to show my face."
"Well, okay, right... How did you think about the thing I told you before?" Fatty Wei looked at Xu Qifeng suddenly.
"I... Director Wei, sorry, I still have a three-year contract with Tianyu."
"The contract is dead and people are alive. How much liquidated damage do you need?"
"I……"
"We are all a group of people with dreams. I know that you also have a dream. The rules and regulations will only restrain you and ruin you. Moreover, how many directors does Tianyu have? Even if your film has some achievements, they will pay attention to it. You?"
"Director Wei, stop talking..."
"Director Xu, although Chinese films have shown signs of gradual recovery in the past two years, they are still in a bleak condition of being ravaged by Hollywood movies... In the future, I have a hunch that an era will be born. Don’t you want to be here? Do you do something in the era?"
"I..." Xu Qifeng was taken aback.
"Director Xu, I have said everything that I should have said. I think China Future’s movies are ultimately in the hands of young people like us. Although the older generation has rich experience, they stick to the rules, and somehow they can’t keep up with this upcoming big movie. The era, this era, is the era of our young people. We are not short of anything now. What we lack is only a platform for us to display ourselves. You are a smart person, and a smart person naturally has his own choice... Liquidated damages are not a problem."
"I'll consider it." Xu Qifeng nodded after a long silence.
"Do you know why A Yuan went to Hollywood?"
"why?"
"He is paving the way for our future. I can tell you that in the future, this road will be very bright."
"He failed?"
Xu Qifeng turned his head and looked elsewhere.
Fatty Wei's voice is very attractive.
seem……
Touched the deepest thing in his soul.
Bright road?
………………………………
Lu Yuan didn't know something about China.
At this moment, he was staying in the crew to film the plot of "The Pianist on the Sea" step by step. At the same time, as long as he was free, Lu Yuan would shut himself in the piano room and practice the piano very hard.
"The Pianist on the Sea" has a very crazy plot to fight the piano. Although Lu Yuan knew that he might not be able to control it even after three months, he was still full of that idea.
May 5th.
Just after Lu Yuan finished practicing the piano, his phone rang.
He took out the phone silently.
Then...
I saw it was a strange number.
Lu Yuan was a little strange.
"Hello?"
"Hey... hello, is it... Mr. Lu Yuan?" A timid voice came over the phone.
"Um, hello, may I ask if you are..." Lu Yuan was strange.
"I...My name is Liu Wanqing."
"Ok?"
"I...I'm a cartoonist, and you left this number to me at the signing meeting... You said, if I have trouble, I can find you, I, I tried to hit..."
"Are you sunny piglet?" Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then he was taken aback.
"Yup."
"Are you all right? Why is your voice a little bit crying?"
"I...I...I...I don't know what I should do...I am so uncomfortable..."
"what?"
