Chapter 746 Sensitive people's brains are easy to get muddled
As of October 18, "The Wind" has been released for three weeks, and the box office has exceeded 280 million, surpassing the total box office of "Red Cliff" released during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year of 261 million, and second only to "Transformation" which won 451 million in the summer season.
King Kong 2" and "The Founding of a Republic" which has already earned 380 million.
"The Founding of the People's Republic of China", which has been in theaters for more than a month, has obviously fallen into decline at the box office in the past week, and the resources for booking theaters are gradually exhausted. Since breaking the box office record for domestic films, Sanye still hopes to surpass "Transformers 2", but
Judging from the current trend, this idea is obviously impossible to achieve. It is difficult to say whether the final box office can exceed 400 million.
"The Wind" has also experienced a sharp decline since the end of the October Golden Week. However, after the "night party scandal" incident between He Xin and Fan Xiaopang was exposed, the box office actually showed a strange "U"-shaped trend.
, it took in nearly 50 million in box office in the past week and continues to occupy the top spot in the weekly box office.
Premiered in Taipei, Taiwan on October 20th.
Prior to this, He Xin, director Xu Ke, one of the heroines Li Bailian and Kaikai Wang flew to South Korea to attend the 14th Busan Film Festival.
"The Wind" was invited to be the closing film of this film festival, and He Xin was also the platform for Jiang Wenli's new film "See You in the Sky" which premiered at the Busan Film Festival.
It should be said that the Chinese element of this Busan Film Festival is very strong. There are "Chengdu I Love You" co-directed by Cui Jian, Chen Guo and Korean director Xu Qinhao, which received unanimous praise at this year's Venice Film Festival, and Lu Chuan's "Nanjing".
"Nanjing", including Zhang Niangniang's "Very Perfect", etc. all appeared.
Moreover, the film festival also held a special section of Johnnie To's works, reviewing director Johnnie To's successful Hong Kong film works over the years, including "A Lang's Story", "Big Event", "Underworld", "A Man and a Widow" and so on.
I have to say that Hong Kong films were once very popular in Korea, but now, all that is left is to look back.
He Xin and his party arrived in Taipei first. Cheng Haohe, who guest-starred as a Japanese maid in the film, Tong Yali, who came to join in the fun, and Ning Hao, who helped come to the platform, arrived at noon on October 20th.
No way, the filming schedule for "Du Lala" is really tight. The reason for premiering "The Wind" in Wanwan is mainly to build momentum for the upcoming Golden Horse Awards.
In addition, Cheng Hao herself can be said to be the most well-known and popular among all the actors in "The Wind" in Wanwan. After all, her starring roles in "Pink Girl" and "Double Boom" were very popular in Wanwan and became the hearts of the Wanwan audience.
The most popular "heartthrob" and Lu Xia (heroine).
"Sister! Sister Yali! Director!"
Shen Ming picked up the group of people who had just gotten off the dusty plane at Taoyuan Airport. I remember when He Xin came to Wanwan for the first time, it was still called Zhongzheng Airport. Things have changed a few years ago.
Ning Hao is one of the bosses of Xinhao Media, and he also holds the title of the company's art director, but he doesn't like others to call him "boss" or "director". It is a convention within the company that he is always called "director"
.
You must know that the only person who can be called a "director" in the industry without a surname is the National Master. Naturally, Ning Hao cannot be compared with the National Master, but he enjoys the treatment of the National Master within his own company.
"Why are you the only one? Where is your brother?" Cheng Hao didn't see her husband and looked a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, brother, Director Xu and Sister Bingbing are being interviewed by a local TV station. Everyone else is preparing for the premiere in the evening, so I was sent here." Shen Ming explained hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go, go back to the hotel and take a rest first." Ning Hao advised with a smile.
The main reason why Cheng Hao was unhappy was that this schedule was so tight. Chen Kexin only gave her two days off in total. After attending tonight's premiere, she had to fly back the next day to continue filming. Unlike other members of the crew, she had to fly back all the way.
Promote from north to south, and you can also go shopping everywhere.
Especially on the plane, I listened to Ning Hao and Tong Yali chattering non-stop. Although it was not her first time coming to Wanwan, she always came and went in a hurry. Although it was Tong Yali's first time this time,
Ning Hao had already made an appointment with Jiukong, Rong Xiang and others here. They discussed on the plane that they would go to the Forbidden City, Sun Moon Lake, and especially the long-famous snack night market.
It made her feel itchy even more.
Although there were only three of them, there were a lot of agents, assistants, and makeup artists behind them. The group of people filled up two commercial vehicles. On the way to the city, Cheng Hao asked Shen Ming seriously where He Xin was.
After all, they are officially a couple during their trip to Korea, and the wife must pay close attention to her husband’s whereabouts.
Shen Ming also answered honestly, such as attending the premiere of Jiang Wenli's new film "See You in the Sky"; when he was in Busan, he also met Zhang Dongjian, an acquaintance who had worked with him in "The Promise", and the other party warmly entertained him
some type of.
The group had just arrived at the hotel where they were staying. It happened that He Xin, Xu Ke, Li Bailian and others had also returned from recording an interview on the TV station. The two groups met in the hotel lobby.
"Honey, you're here!"
"Wow, honey, you look so beautiful today!"
Two plastic sister flowers embrace each other passionately.
"Director Xu, thank you for your hard work!"
Ning Hao had always admired Xu Ke very much and quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
"Director Ning, hello!"
Old Monster Xu laughed and admired this junior very much, and specifically said: "I am very much looking forward to your new work."
Ning Hao's new film "No Man's Land" has been announced to be released during the Spring Festival.
"Thank you, Director Xu, I am also looking forward to your new work!"
Huayi Brothers' costume suspense blockbuster "Di Renjie" directed by Xu Ke has just been officially announced.
He Xin originally opened his arms to hug his wife, but the hug ended up being lonely. He had to put it down and said hello to Tong Yali: "Xiao Tong, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
Tong Yali suppressed a smile and said: "It's not troublesome at all. This is my first time coming to Wanwan. I just have the opportunity to come here and have fun."
As a boss, he did not forget to say thank you to the staff for their hard work. After finally waiting for his wife to finish talking to Li Bailian, he hurriedly came over to say hello and said: "Honey, are you tired? Are you hungry? Oh,
Dinner will be served soon…”
"Okay, stop harping and go back to the room first." Cheng Hao threw the bag in his arms into his arms.
"Hey, go back to the room first!"
It is said that many men are dog lickers before marriage and turn into wolves after marriage, but our teacher He is always consistent. Even after registering the marriage, he still does not change his true nature as a dog licker and immediately transforms into a bag-carrying boy.
"Is "No Man's Land" almost done?" After entering the elevator, He Xin asked Ning Hao who was crowded beside him casually.
"Well, it's almost done. All that's left is the soundtrack. If everything goes well, it will be submitted for review next month." Ning Hao said with a smile.
The post-production of "No Man's Land" is going quite smoothly, and Ning Hao is in a good mood recently.
In fact, this guy is still a literary young man at heart. After the success of "Stone", there was a small period of struggle. Should he follow his idol, Chief Jia, and engage in the creation of literary and artistic films, or should he join the wave of commercial films?
middle?
It's just that his period of struggle was short-lived. Before He Xin could find a solution, when the third master extended an olive branch to him, this guy jumped into the wave of commercial movies without hesitation. It can be said that he knows the current affairs and is a hero.
!And with the success of "Racing", it proves that he is on the right path.
However, as a man whose zodiac sign is Virgo, there is one thing that he always has a problem with, that is, from "The Stone" to "Racing", he has been criticized by others for plagiarizing Guy Ritchie.
Of course, in his opinion, this is a reference!
That's why he came up with the "No Man's Land" that he created entirely by himself, and with the drone shooting, the desert scenery was more beautiful and spectacular than he imagined. Now he is very satisfied with this work.
Very satisfied.
"Hey, your "Steel Piano" is almost ready. When the time comes, we will submit it for review and sign up together later." Ning Hao then said excitedly.
"The Piano of Steel" has been finished a long time ago. Zhang Meng has urged me twice, but I haven't been able to find time recently... Hey, this time we applied for two films at once, and it is definitely impossible to be shortlisted at the same time.
In the main competition section, which one do you think has a greater chance?"
"Of course, "The Piano" has a great chance. After all, "No Man's Land" has a strong commercial element, and those European gentlemen may not be able to like it. My requirements are not high, as long as it is shortlisted, there will be more when the time comes.
Just sell a few copies." Ning Hao chuckled.
He is quite tolerant. Since he has chosen a commercial film, he should not always think about winning awards. The opposite is also true. Since he has chosen an art film, he should not expect too much at the box office. Unlike Wang Xiaoshuai, who is sometimes easily distracted.
It's stupid, I want to express myself, but I also want to get high box office.
This time "Piano" and "No Man's Land" are both registered for the Berlin Film Festival. Don't overestimate the virtues of those foreigners. They are very good at balancing.
The two chatted casually, and when the elevator reached their floor, they agreed to go downstairs for dinner in half an hour, and then went back to their rooms.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted, so boring!"
As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Hao lay on the sofa and sighed.
The schedule is really tight. I have to leave today and leave tomorrow. It's like a war. I don't even have a chance to breathe. It's inevitable that I will feel depressed.
He Xin walked over and massaged her shoulders, while smiling and comforting: "After filming "Du Lala", I will give myself a big vacation and relax. Besides, aren't you already preparing to go to school next semester?
Are you going to class? There will be winter and summer vacations every year from now on. You can go wherever you want to play, I will accompany you!"
"Huh, you said it lightly. If there is a good script, I would still like to film during the winter and summer vacations! Well, I probably only have time during the summer vacation, and I have to celebrate the New Year during the winter vacation... Hey, the Berlin Film Festival will coincide with the Chinese New Year next year.
?”
"No, it will open on February 11th and close on the 21st. If we can be successfully shortlisted, we will have to celebrate the New Year in Germany today."
The Berlin Film Festival, which opens in February, often coincides with the Spring Festival holiday. The first two times He Xin participated were fine. At least he could spend the New Year at home before attending the festival. But next year, February 14th will be the Spring Festival, which is just right.
Stuck during the film festival.
"It's so boring!" Cheng Hao muttered.
He Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "Then we simply don't sign up this time. The same goes for participating in Cannes, and we won't have to conflict with "No Man's Land"."
"what?"
Cheng Hao suddenly turned around, stared and said: "Why do you think that it comes out all the time? Didn't you say before that the theme of "The Piano of Steel" has a high probability of winning an award in Berlin? Could it be that Haozi just talked to
What did you say?"
"No, Haozi didn't say anything, it's just...well, what I mean is that we can spend the New Year in peace and contentment, don't worry about it, it's just a few months anyway." This guy looked like he had no confidence.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao hurriedly said: "No, I was just complaining..."
But halfway through, when I saw my husband looking guilty, his eyes suddenly narrowed: "No, what on earth do you want to do?"
"Well……"
In fact, I have participated in the three major European festivals for so many times. Although most of my works have won awards, in terms of individual awards, except for the little actor who won the "Going Against the Current" section of the last Venice Film Festival, I have always accompanied him.
run.
Maybe it was because he had high hopes for his performance in "The Piano" this time, and as he was about to sign up, he was a little worried about gains and losses, and had a serious lack of self-confidence.
"Hey, let me tell you, don't be stupid! Good books are hard to come by. It's rare that you can perform so well. Since there is hope, let's go for it..."
Cheng Hao had a serious look on his face. When he saw her husband lowering his head and saying nothing, he reached out and pushed him, warning: "How can you change something that was agreed upon? Don't use things like the Chinese New Year to make things difficult for you.
, it’s settled, it’s settled, if you keep being sticky, be careful and I’ll really fall out with you!”
How should I put it? He Xin felt that he should not have had this kind of personality in his previous life. Maybe it was because he had been an actor for too long. He increasingly found that the emotional part of his personality was slowly enlarging. As a result, he was prone to being emotional, or he was easy to get into trouble.
Just like this, first he and Ning Hao accidentally talked about the Berlin Film Festival, and then when he heard his wife's complaints, he began to worry about gains and losses for no reason, and he actually wanted to give up.
People's various inexplicable thoughts are often fleeting, flashing through their minds, easily ignored, and gone. But He Xin found that he was very good at catching this kind of thoughts in his mind.
A flash of inspiration or idea can help him create a character, while the latter is sometimes hard to say because it is easy to think too much until he gets stuck.
This is probably similar to Wang Xiaoshuai's sometimes foolish idea of wanting both awards and box office.
However, his wife's scolding was like a gong in his ear, causing him to suddenly wake up. Looking back, the thoughts that had just popped into his head were indeed ridiculous.
He couldn't help but scratch his head, and said with a silly smile: "It's my fault, I think too much. You're right, what's settled is settled and won't change."
