I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 1127 1122.
Xu Xin has indeed disappeared from the public eye.

In addition to appearing together with Zhang Yimou at the 20th Summit and being interviewed for the performance at the opening ceremony of the summit.

But that interview only talked about the significance of the opening ceremony performance and did not contain any gossip.

Just kidding, CCTV reporters know very well what to ask and what not to ask.

Thus, in this low-key manner, "Monster Hunt" finally closed with a box office of 33.24 billion yuan.

It created a box office myth that no one before it could have imagined.

the first.

The first in the truest sense.

The first film to enter the 30 billion club at the box office.

This is the first film directed by a Chinese and with special effects produced entirely by a domestic company.

The first fantasy film directed by Xu Xin, etc.

All kinds of weird firsts.

On September 2015, 9, "Monster Hunt" directed by Xu Xin created a box office myth of 13 billion yuan, becoming the highest box office record for both imported films and Chinese-language films since the beginning of box office statistics in China.

There are no ancients before, and no later...

Maybe, but definitely not now.

At the same time, Zhou Xingchi announced the preparation of a new movie, a movie about environmental protection - "The Mermaid".

Directed by Zhou Xingchi.

And the producer...is Xu Xin.

"Monster Hunt" had just ended and when people were still calculating how much money the Xi'an Film Studio made from this film and what kind of achievements Xu Xin would make, the popularity was directly taken over by "The Mermaid".

This movie has already gained huge popularity even though it hasn't even started filming.

Of course, there are also people who question whether Xu Xin was working on the Winter Olympics some time ago, so how come he still has time to be a producer?
But this kind of questioning is purely out of ignorance and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Then, in October, Nirvana in Fire, the first film in which Yang Mi served as a producer, was released.

Thanks to its excellent production, superb acting skills of all the cast members, and an outstanding plot, it won the national prime-time ratings championship with an excellent average viewership rating of 1.45 three days after its release.

To outsiders, Yang Mi's excellence is justified.

Not only is his acting great, but the TV series he participated in producing are also so great, which is really amazing.

But for people in the industry, the perspective is different.

When Yang Mi's name appeared in the "Producer" column, many people suddenly realized one thing...

Yang Mi seems to no longer be satisfied with being just an actor with box office appeal.

The success of this new drama by Shaanxi TV proves the strength of the TV drama industry they and Xiying have developed. She was questioned by the judges at this Silk Road Film Festival, as well as the trends of other activities.

Yang Mi...seems to be moving towards a higher level.

The good news is that when Yang Mi truly becomes a "big boss" in the entertainment industry, where everyone has their own job, others will definitely get more opportunities.

Bad news... From now on, I may have to call her Sister Mi when I really see her.

but……

What’s up with Liu Zhishi, who is also a producer?
This guy... the last time he was active was in last year's "The Return", right?

It seems like I haven't heard anything from her this whole year.

What does she do?
But... no matter what, this year is a big "victory" for the Northwest Circle!
In the film industry, their box office is simply amazing.

Even in the animation field, there is a movie called "The Return of the Great Sage", which broke the box office record of domestic animated films.

In the field of TV dramas, from the small trial of "All Quiet in Peking", to the great success of "Nirvana in Fire", to the still solid ratings of the third season of "Running Man" and the sixth season of "The Voice of China"...

The Shaanxi TV station, which was once ignored by everyone, suddenly transformed itself and became a station that could compete with the Hunan TV station.

Although it is not the end of the year yet, when people look at the activity in the Northwest circle throughout the year, they find that they can't avoid one name.

Xu Xin.

Everything is related to him.

Whether openly or secretly.

He is the one who achieved success.

He is still brilliant.

As for whether he will lose or not, it is up to him...

Looking at Baidu Encyclopedia, it has been replaced with a blue-background portrait, and the first title has become [Deputy Director of the Pilot Office of the Media Integration Center]...

Countless people sighed in their hearts with a complicated tone.

From now on, he will no longer be Director Xu.

We have to call Director Xu.

……

In early November.

The 66th Berlin Film Festival announced the shortlist.

The film "Letters from War", a co-production between Macau and Portugal, and the local Chinese films "Map of the River" and "The Master" were successfully shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Moreover, on the day when the shortlist was announced, "The Master" became the opening film of the 66th Berlin Film Festival.

As soon as this news came out, on the same day, "Master" announced its domestic release date.

Released on New Year's Eve.

Spring Festival period.

Xu Xin’s black fans cheered.

With the 33 billion box office myth in the past, they are really looking forward to Xu Xin’s new movie.

Moreover, in the United States, Paramount also took advantage of the heat of the Berlin Film Festival to announce that the sequel of the movie "John Wick" has started. They intend to create a brand new killer universe with director Xu Xin...

This news was also confirmed by Shuang Wei.

Although the script is still in its draft stage, it has already become a popular internet meme on streaming media...especially Western streaming media, which has boosted Keanu Reeves' career and brought action movies back into the audience's field of vision. "If You Kill My Dog, I Kill Your Whole Family" does have plans to create its own ecological universe, and director Xu Xin will be personally involved in the script this time.

Now, many fans in Europe and the United States who felt that Goddard had opened up a new type of action movie mode after watching the movie are also happy.

It can be said that although Xu Xin has been away from the world for a long time, because of these things, his legend has once again spread in the world.

As for how long this legend can last...

Then no one really knows.

However, according to Xu Xin's own idea, it would last for at most ten days or half a month.

after all……

In today's information age, all information is updated and iterated at a very fast speed.

But it was precisely because of this speed that he felt he needed to slow down.

For example, he is now in Dongguan, in Stephen Chow's crew, performing his functions as a producer.

Keep your mouth shut the whole time.

Just watch, don't talk.

Watching the film directed by Zhou Xingchi, I have no comment on whether it is good or bad.

It’s not that he didn’t communicate with Zhou Xingchi, but as a director himself, he knew very well how the director and producer should divide the work.

He only has to be responsible to the director.

Even if some problems are discovered during the day, these issues are destined to be discussed with the director alone after the crew finishes filming, rather than communicated directly in front of the actors.

That is overstepping one's authority.

As for Stephen Chow's casting this time... Deng Chao was not mentioned, nor was Lin Kui who started trembling when he saw him. The most interesting one was Zhang Yuqi.

When Xu Xin saw her on the set for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart...

It’s true that things have changed.

This circle is really interesting.

Back then, she was Wang Quanan's wife, a woman who dared to greet him directly at the internal meeting of Xiying.

As a result, he now appears timid in front of me.

The most interesting thing is that in July, Wang Quanan, for some unknown reason, offended someone and was exposed for soliciting prostitution.

All of a sudden, this person disappeared from this circle.

And this woman is also decisive.

Although it is not known whether the two had lost their feelings for each other a long time ago or what, after Wang Quanan was exposed for soliciting prostitution during the day, she posted a message announcing her divorce at night.

What a decisive person.

But such a decisive woman appeared so naive in front of him.

It seems like he has no heart...

It's really interesting.

But unfortunately, in Xu Xin's eyes, there was actually no difference between her and Lin Chen, who didn't even dare to look at her directly, and the polite Deng Chao.

Xu Xin would neither feel that this woman was scheming and stay away from her, nor would he feel any pleasure from the fact that she was submissive to him.

In fact, at this point, there is no one in the entire entertainment industry who is worthy of him to look up to.

On the contrary, he is sitting there now, and if others want to come over and talk to him, they have to bend down.

However, from this perspective, some people like to treat others as cats or dogs, and in any case, they don’t treat them as human beings.

Enjoying the extravagance and various pleasures brought by status.

But for him, he just thought it was great.

At least there won't be anything too troublesome to disturb his peaceful life.

people.

When is the most relaxing time?

Xu Xin didn't know what others thought, but he felt...

It’s easiest when everything is clean.

Not pleased, not to have compassion.

Clean and tidy.

the best.

……

Unfortunately, Xu Xin spent the New Year's Day of 2016 on the set of "The Mermaid".

I couldn't play with the kids.

Both ancestors were furious in the video.

Only after Xu Xin was forced to sign a series of unequal treaties did the two children stop crying.

After New Year's Day, he went to Shanghai.

It's not about anything else, but about going to watch a finished animated film.

The name of this movie is "Big Fish and Begonia".

In 13, the commercial department of Zhuiguang discovered this project on the domestic commercial crowdfunding website "Dianmingshijian", and eventually negotiated cooperation and completed the investment.

After the original crew received investment from Light Chaser, they took the film to their company for production.

Xu Xin had seen the artistic style of this film in 13.

To be honest, Miyazaki's style is quite obvious.

But...both the story and the art style are not limited to Miyazaki, but have their own ideas.

He once talked with Makoto Shinkai about whether domestic animated films had a chance to surpass Japan, and Makoto Shinkai's answer at the time was basically no.

Indeed, whether in terms of the number or quality of practitioners, China is far behind Japan, which has been developing for decades.

But...it doesn't matter.

At least someone is doing it.

The business investment department of Zhuiguang was established at the instruction of Xu Xin.

The main purpose is to provide a platform for cooperation for these "desperate" filmmakers.

And "Big Fish and Begonia" is one of the projects he thinks is excellent.

Now that the film has finally been completed, he naturally wants to go and see it.

The film is a total of 105 minutes.

But for the director and others, it was twelve years.

Of course, Xu Xin didn't care much about the idea of ​​the crew crying and sobbing while watching the finished film. He just watched the film quietly in the screening room and gave his own opinion directly:
"This film should be submitted to Silk Road. I am looking forward to seeing this work with excellent aesthetic style meet the audience at the film festival."

His statement represented recognition.

It also represents absolute authority and certification.

This movie is very good.

I am delighted that Light Chasing has produced another excellent animation work.

I am also happy for those working in the domestic animation film industry.

Even the current animation market is nothing compared to the Chinese-language film industry, which had a total annual revenue of 15 billion in 440.

But at least... he saw hope.

One day, these talents will grow from seedlings on this fertile land that has not yet been cultivated... They may not become towering trees, but at least they will be a beautiful sight worth remembering.

He had no idea how long this day would last.

Can……

He still has a lot of money, and he will never stop wanting to do something for Chinese-language films until it's all spent.

Besides… he has more than just a lot of money.

It's quite profitable.

I don’t know if the speed at which these people spend money can keep up with the speed at which my wife and I make money.

tsk...

Having said that, Yang Mi is a really good earner.

This year, he has earned at least 300 million from various endorsements alone.

Net profit.

Not to mention the other members of Shuangwei.

Oh yes, I heard that she also invested in the cosmetics industry with Sister Bingbing... Didn’t she return her little chemistry knowledge to her chemistry teacher a long time ago?

Is the thing produced really usable?
Don't burn other people's faces...

tsk...

In this way, with some emotion, he completed his work as producer of "The Mermaid".

As for the overall quality of the film, to be honest, it is quite good.

It doesn’t matter how novel the subject matter is, or how excellent the directing techniques are.

Not to mention.

He just thought it was funny...

I was truly involved in the production of a nonsensical film of my idol.

This experience is quite fresh.

After returning to the studio with the film, he rejected the proposal to shoot "Monster Hunt 2" without hesitation.

What's so special about this movie that it's worth making a second one?
Even though Brother Qi and his team had already contacted the screenwriter and worked out a script for the second part, he had no interest at all.

However, unable to resist his older brother's "earnest pleading", he finally agreed to be a "titular producer" with little workload.

The prerequisite is that he feels it is okay after the film is completed.

He felt that this was possible so that others could use the popularity of his name to promote the film.

He no longer worried about how to prepare for the film.

After being busy for so long, it's time to go home.

Unfortunately, the shrew at home lost his temper when he got home.

"What!? What promotion period! Who needs to promote a movie? Who starts promotion now? You said you were a producer, but you didn't go home for nearly two months! You have to start promoting the movie right after you get home!? You have to go to Berlin after the promotion!? What do you think of this home?! What are you doing back home?! Xu Sanjin, you don't have a home, do you? Do you still have a home? I told you to take a good rest, but you're busier than making a movie!... What are you going to eat? Are you worthy?! Snot! Come here, eat noodles!... I won't give you any! I won't give you any! I won't even give you any if I feed it to the dogs!!"

The snot actually feels aggrieved too.

Don’t you know that dogs can’t eat hot food?
Even if I can eat it hot...it's still smoking, how can I eat it?
However, looking at the male host who was even more cowardly than himself and didn't even dare to show his teeth when being confronted, Bi Si felt much more balanced instantly.

Ugh.

Forget it.

I'll give you half of the doghouse tonight.

Look at you poor...

As a result, when it was night, Bi Si, who was waiting happily for the male owner to sleep in the doghouse with her, looked at the cotton pad in the doghouse that she had specially warmed up in the cold weather, and fell into deep thought again.

Humans are indeed creatures whose words and deeds are inconsistent and full of lies.

We had just agreed to live in the doghouse together, so why were you dragged into the bedroom again?
and……

Are you hitting the mistress?

Why is the hostess humming...

As expected, the male owner is the best. The female owner is fearless at home, and sometimes when she is in a bad mood, she will even kick me if I pass by her.

As a result, as soon as the man came back, she was beaten.

The noise was painful to hear.

The male lead Yin is so awesome!
It helped me vent a lot of anger!

pity……

The good days of snot didn’t last long.

After the hero Yin made the heroine Yin whimper and moan for three consecutive nights, he disappeared on the fourth day.

pity.

The next time Sniffle saw the male protagonist Yin, it was when it had just paid homage to its big brother, and it didn't understand why the big brother, who was so ferocious in its eyes, would be so rude towards the female protagonist Yin.

The fierce and powerful big brother was still kicked away by the heroine Yin, and then took the hero Yin into the house.

Then... just after a few explosions that happened from time to time, the heroine Yin seemed to be beaten again.

But this beating did not last long.

A strange guy with two wings and speaking "goose, goose, goose" from the local gang wants to teach the little heroine Yin a lesson.

He bit her.

Just when Bi Si was considering whether or not to avenge the little heroine Yin, which led to him committing insubordination in the gang and being punished by the eldest brother who had just burned yellow paper and cut off the chicken head with him, the hostess, with a face full of anger, dragged the crying little heroine Yin out of the house.

The young heroine Yin pointed at the head of an unknown hall and walked over.

As soon as Nose saw the heroine Yin's face, he knew something was wrong.

Then we also discovered that... some other big brothers in the local gangs were running away.

But that young man didn't seem to be afraid of spreading his wings and trying to pick on the heroine.

then……

Nothing more.

Bissy saw with her own eyes that the heroine Yin grabbed the head of the Goose Goose Hall, and then stood at the door of her house. She slashed with the knife in her hand, twisted her hand... The head of the Goose Goose Hall fluttered a few times and then stopped moving...

"Sigh~"

Sniffle involuntarily took a breath.

Now I understand why the air here seems to be much better than at home. Even such a mighty big brother has to tuck his tail between his legs when he sees the heroine Yin.

Good man... I just got kicked at most, but this guy even lost his life.

At this time, the male protagonist Yin, whose clothes looked a little messy, walked out.

Snot hurried over.

She rubbed the male protagonist Yin's legs.

Finally, the body of Goose Goose Goose had been cold for a while before the beaten heroine came out of the house and plucked all its feathers... I have to say, the meat of Big Brother Goose Goose Goose was really delicious.

And in the end, Snot curled up in a strange doghouse, listening to the crackling noises in the sky and the strange things that would explode from time to time, and slowly fell asleep.

It finds the noises noisy.

It's really noisy.

But the little boy Yin once held it in his arms and told it:
“This is called the New Year.”

It doesn't know what Chinese New Year is.

But it knows.

This night, the young boy Yin and the young girl Yin.

The male protagonist is Yin and the female protagonist is Yin.

There were five other strangers, all with good-looking expressions on their faces.

It didn't know what that look was called.

Because it had eaten a lot of meat at this moment, even though it was still noisy outside, it was already very tired.

If you’re sleepy, just go to sleep.

At this moment, for snot...

This is happiness.
