my time as a director

But it hurts my brain to think about it, because I didn’t write well in all aspects. On this basis, it is too difficult to continue with 100 million words.

At present, I can write even if I bite the bullet, and I can make money, but writing is uncomfortable.

Therefore, it is still decided to end with 200 million words.

If nothing unexpected, that should be it.

Don't think about how to continue, and finish writing the remaining 50 words with peace of mind.

That's it, no more verbosity, good night everyone.

Chapter 455 Dumbfounded

"Hey, why did Teng Huatao smash Waiting Fenglai!"

In the general manager's office of Future Pictures, Xu Zheng chatted with Du Yang helplessly.

In the Lunar New Year holiday, Future Films only has three movies. Apart from the co-produced Police Story 2013, there are only three movies left to wait for the wind to come and Thailand.

Originally, Xu Zheng was very confident in his second film, which he directed and acted in. After all, the previous film sold for 10 million, and at that time in [-], [-] million was already a big hit.

Coupled with the fact that I am not the God of Medicine swept all major awards in the mainland, Xu Zheng achieved the Grand Slam of the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao Awards, ranking among the top Mesozoic actors in one fell swoop.

Needless to say, his own fame and reputation, there are still people who are on the road. This Thai embarrassment is not only him and Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo also joined in. Before the filming started, Xu Zheng had absolute confidence and sold well. It is inevitable, and even one billion box office is occasionally thought about.

Moreover, the films of the future film industry have never failed, and there is also the blessing of this undefeated golden body.

However, just one month before the release, Teng Huatao's waiting for the wind hit the street, and he might not even get [-] million box office.

The 33 days of lovelorn last year sold more than 6 million yuan, and after only two years, Teng Huatao's new film could not even break [-] million yuan.

The industry is making jokes, the undefeated golden body of Future Pictures has been broken, and Li Qian sometimes misses.

Xu Zheng, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

33 million people in [-] days of broken love, [-] million people on the road, the audience reputation of both is similar, if Teng Huatao can fail, it seems that he is not so stable.

At first I was just a little worried, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and the more I thought about it, the more unstable I felt.

Today I came to Future Pictures and chatted with Du Yang about the film's announcement.

Lost in Thailand is the only movie of Future Pictures, so of course they did their best in terms of publicity and distribution. After hearing Du Yang talk about the completed promotion and marketing plan, as well as the film schedule that the theater got, Xu Zhengcai felt relieved.

However, I still couldn't help but want to complain about Teng Huatao, if he hadn't rushed to the street, Xu Zheng would never have such thoughts at all.

"Don't worry, Director Xu. At the beginning, Director Li attached great importance to your project. You still don't believe his vision." Du Yang said helplessly, "Don't worry about the announcement. It will be released on the 5th, and the 60-row film will be fine. Guaranteed, at the beginning of the month, apart from the Four Famous Arrests, there will be no other movies released."

"By the way, there is something I need to discuss with Director Xu. Thai Jiong may start a large-scale pre-sale a week in advance, and the exclusive pre-sale will be on the company's future movie ticketing app. At that time, Director Xu may be needed to help Let's spread the word."

"what?"

Xu Zheng was stunned. Although he had also used the APP to buy tickets, he didn't react for a while.

After being stunned for a while, I realized what this meant, and my voice suddenly raised a pitch.

"Mr. Du wants to take advantage of Thailand Jiong's monopoly on ticket sales to seize online ticket buyers?"

There was some dissatisfaction in his tone, and Du Yang could hear it and understand, and said with a smile, "Director Xu, don't be angry, it's precisely because we have absolute confidence in Thailand 囧, even if users of other ticket-buying apps can't buy tickets , it will not affect the box office, they will eventually come to download future movies and buy tickets on it.”

He has absolute confidence in his films, so to speak, but Xu Zheng still feels something is wrong.

However, he did not continue to pursue the matter with Du Yang, and he also knew that it was Du Yang's negligence.

The only one who can call the shots is Li Qian.

After leaving Future Films, Xu Zheng flew to Shanghai, and found Li Qian by the sea.

Li Qian was filming, Xu Zheng didn't make a sound, he just stood behind Li Qian and looked at the monitor in front of him.

Xu Zheng has read the script of Rejuvenation, and he was shocked when he first read it, even more shocking than reading the script of Truman's world.

A person who goes against growth, a fantasy journey, a love spanning decades, a history of the Republic standing on the top of the world, including life, love, family, country, family, friendship, philosophy, religion and many other aspects.

Moreover, the script is so interesting!

The perfect combination of art and commerce, even in terms of artistry, is much better than many art films.

After reading the script, Xu Zheng naturally knew which scene this was filming, that is, the male protagonist sent his dying father to the sea, just watching the sunset, sitting quietly one after the other.

Xu Zheng still remembers a narration from the hero in this scene: When things don’t go your way, you can go crazy like a mad dog, yell and curse fate, but in the end, you still have to let go.

There are too many such classic lines in the script, and Xu Zheng remembers them all clearly.

"Okay, let's go!"

In front of the monitor, Li Qian held the intercom and announced that the scene was completed.

In fact, it is a scene of two people sitting, and then one close-up of one person.

Chen Kun's father invited Liu Yunlong to play a guest role. He was born in 1945, that is, from the Republic of China. Some domestic actors have a typical model of the Republic of China.

Such as Zhao Xuan, such as Liu Yunlong.

This feature also implies a change of the times. People of the previous era have left and a new era has arrived.

Of course, the father is also a very important role, a role that affects the life of the male protagonist, and it is still necessary to find an old actor.

In the beginning, Li Qian still had trouble understanding why the hero had to leave his lover and daughter so early, even if he wanted to give his daughter a normal life, he could wait for her to grow up a bit.

Later, when I was writing the script, I realized that his father regarded him as a monster and felt that he would hurt himself, so he also had this concept when facing his loved one, even if the lover had expressed his willingness to be with him before. After sharing the thought of this consequence, he still chose to ride his motorcycle and leave in the early morning.

If his father hadn't treated him like this, maybe he would have a completely different interpretation of love, but life is a river that never turns back, what happens is what happens.

Of course, this is also based on the premise that the hero is relieved of his father. As for why he is relieved, that is the foreshadowing of the previous plot.

Every supporting role and every plot complement each other, so the supporting roles are particularly important.

After the scene was finished, Li Qian went to express his thanks to Mr. Liu Yunlong, then ordered the crew to clean up, and returned to the commercial vehicle by himself.

"Brother Zheng, why did you come to me suddenly? What happened?" Li Qian looked at Xu Zheng and asked with a smile, then took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it over.

Xu Zheng took a sip of the water and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. The promotion of the movie hasn't started yet, so I'll go back to Shanghai to accompany my family, so I'll take a look."

"Indeed, I won't be able to go home for more than a month soon." Li Qian nodded.

"Rejuvenation should be released next year. I can't wait to see this movie. Just reading the script has already fascinated me." Xu Zheng asked again.

"It's hard to say, but if it goes well, we should be able to catch up next year. If we have time to watch, there will be a lot of movies next year." Li Qian said.
