It’s just that this year’s summer season can be said to be a real “summer season for newcomers”!
This year's summer season has three movies, all directed by new directors.
Among them, the ones with the best reputation and the worst reputation, the highest box office and the worst box office were all produced by these three new directors.
The first is director Chen Yang, Li Yi’s senior and a graduate of the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy. The martial arts film "The Smiling Knife" directed by him is the film with the best reputation this summer.
"The Knife Behind the Smile" is hailed as one of the most outstanding martial arts movies in recent years on the popular film review website.
Rated as high as 8 points!
However, due to poor cast and poor publicity, "The Sword in a Smile" only received a box office of just over 200 million despite a good reputation.
Of course, for a new director like Chen Yang, such achievements are already very impressive.
However, his shine was completely eclipsed by another new director.
This year’s summer film belongs to another new director Ping Xiaosi!
Who is Ping Xiaosi? He is not a director with a professional background. His main occupation is a best-selling author.
This summer, Ping Xiaosi can be said to be the most outstanding one.
First, he jumped from writer to director, directing and filming his first film, a film of the same name based on his own best-selling novel "Youth".
And it’s three movies in a row!
The first "Age of Youth 1: The Age of Rebellion" was released this summer. This movie, directed by non-professional director Ping Xiaosi and featuring five of the most popular traffic stars, actually won the box office championship this summer.
, with a box office of 680 million, making Ping Xiaosi the most popular director this summer.
However, although "Youth 1: The Age of Rebellion" has a high box office, its reputation is extremely poor.
The movie's rating on Popular Film Critics Network is only 4.6.
However, it won the box office championship, and Ping Xiaosi also became the most controversial director.
But despite this, Ping Xiaosi still successfully completed his career leap in the summer.
The last new director is Wen Ruofei, who graduated from the directing department of the Beijing Theater Academy. He is also a young director, and it is also his first film. However, his film is the saddest one this summer.
His movie is a literary and artistic movie, and "My Big Tree" only took over 5 million at the box office.
But what is interesting is that the professional reputation of "My Big Tree" is very good, and many professional film critics are full of praise for this movie.
Then there is another one that others have not paid much attention to, but Li Yi is more concerned about. Mu Qing's new film "Quartet of Love" actually did not perform satisfactorily because it was too literary and artistic, resulting in a box office of less than 20 million.
Naturally, this movie didn't make any splash at all, and was directly submerged among the many movies in the summer season.
What’s even more interesting is that in this year’s summer season, several veteran directors also failed.
As a result, Ping Xiaosi, who had a box office of 680 million, was pushed to the forefront.
But even so, Ping Xiaosi's movie, no matter how bad its reputation is, still won the summer box office championship.
Originally, Li Yi and Xiaosi had little in common.
But soon, Li Yi became furious.
Because, Director Mu was bullied.
how to say?
The relationship between Li Yi and Mu Qing has not been made public, so many people do not know their relationship.
After all, neither of them are stars.
Movie fans pay more attention to the works of these two people.
Back to business.
Mu Qing was previously a contracted director under Gao Le Film and Television, and Ping Xiaosi's "The Age of Rebellion" was also distributed by Gao Le Film and Television.
So the two of them were involved.
Gaole Films held a celebration banquet for Ping Xiaosi's "The Age of Rebellion". Mu Qing, who also belongs to Gaole Films, was naturally invited to attend.
This is nothing.
But Ping Xiaosi was attracted to Mu Qing as soon as he saw it.
Of course, this will not make Li Yi angry. After all, Mu Dao is naturally beautiful and it is hard to give up. It is normal to have admirers, which shows that she is very charming.
But the problem was that Ping Xiaosi didn't know whether it was because of the huge sales of "The Age of Rebellion". After being explicitly rejected by Director Mu, he actually had a wrong idea.
"The Age of Rebellion" was an unexpected hit, which made Gao Le Film and Television try their best to win over Ping Xiaosi.
As a result, after Cao Zhenqun, the boss of Gao Le Film and Television, learned that Ping Xiaosi had fallen in love with his director Mu Qing, he teamed up with others to get Mu Qing drunk.
In Cao Zhenqun's view, although Mu Qing is also a director, she cannot compare with Heping Xiaosi.
And Ping Xiaosi will not only have the second and third parts of "Young Times" in the future, but the key is that Ping Xiaosi also has a large number of novel copyrights.
Ping Xiaosi had never proven himself before, so his novels naturally didn't get much attention. But after proving the appeal of Ping Xiaosi's novels, it doesn't matter whether it is a piece of shit or not, and it doesn't matter whether it is a piece of shit that has been criticized.
It's raining, but the box office is real, so in Cao Zhenqun's eyes, Ping Xiaosi is a big gold mine.
And Mu Qing? Just a pretty young director.
Although she has starred in a movie that was considered a hit, Mu Qing is not interested in acting.
Moreover, Mu Qingming didn't have a particularly deep background, and Cao Zhenqun thought that it would be better to make up for it later, and Ping Xiaosi was also very young. If he could get along well with Mu Qing, he wouldn't have wronged Mu Qing.
Mu Qing didn't notice it at first, but as Ping Xiaosi, Cao Zhenqun, and others at the same table repeatedly encouraged her to drink, intentionally or unintentionally, Mu Qing naturally noticed something was wrong.
"Mr. Cao, I'm sorry, my drinking capacity is limited, I really can't drink anymore!!" Mu Qing refused.
Cao Zhenqun looked at Mu Qing and said, "Don't be so disappointing, why don't you even give me face?"
Mu Qing stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, I've drunk enough, I really can't drink anymore! I have something else to do, so I won't disturb everyone's enjoyment..."
"It seems that I, Mr. Cao, do not have enough respect!" Cao Zhenqun said with a smile.
Then the next moment his face became gloomy: "Director Mu, if you don't drink this glass of wine, you will never be able to drink it again!"
As a result, Mu Qing suddenly picked up the wine glass on the table.
Just when Cao Zhenqun thought Mu Qing was about to compromise, he saw Mu Qing pour a glass of wine on the ground and said coldly: "It's okay not to drink this spoiled wine!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Cao Zhenqun was left with his face turning blue and purple!
Li Yi originally didn't know about this.
Later, Mu Qing came to visit the class, but her assistant spilled the beans while chatting with Yi Mingming.
Yi Mingming knew that his sister-in-law had been bullied, and he was filled with indignation and told Li Yi immediately.
Of course, that night, Director Mu, who concealed this matter, was severely punished by Li Yi.
And Li Yi naturally also hated Gao Le Film and Television and Heping Xiaosi!
