non-famous actor

Because according to the rules in the film and television industry, when promoting a film, you must first interview the director, interview the producer, and then interview the male and female leading actors.

But he stood up and didn't give any transition, so he directly pointed the topic at himself, and even praised his movie box office in front of Zhang Yimou.

"Director Sun Hao, why don't you speak?

Before I came here, I just checked the information on the Internet. After half a month of release, the box office of "Source Code" has officially exceeded 1.1 million US dollars.

What I want to ask is, please analyze the difference between "Source Code" and "My Father and Mother" from the perspective of art and market? "

However, Sun Hao still did not speak.

Chapter 252 What I Bring Are People, Not Animals

[The movie "My Father and Mother" was officially released yesterday. At the premiere, the leading actor Sun Hao was speechless. No matter how many reporters interviewed him, he responded with silence...]

[The global box office of the movie "Source Code" exceeded 1.2 million U.S. dollars. As the leading actor, Sun Hao attended the premiere of "My Father and Mother" without a smile, because this movie is far from the first day of "Kun Chi Yan" directed by him. The box office is a bit far away...]

[Last night, Zhang Weiping, a famous domestic producer, made a statement in the major media that the criterion for judging a movie should be the level of its artistry, not the box office of the movie...]

["My Father and Mother" hit theaters yesterday, and movie audiences who were over forty years old burst into tears. They all told reporters that this movie was their love when they were young. Sun Haohe, a famous young director in China, became famous internationally with "Kun Chi Yan" Zhang Ziyi in the film industry performed the charm of this movie...]

[The box office of the four films is [-] million US dollars, and Sun Hao, a young student of Chinese opera, has created an unprecedented record in domestic film history, making Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other famous directors sigh...]

[It will be released on October 10, and the schedule competition will shrink, but the reality is extremely cruel. Even if it is released on the first day, the filming rate of "My Father and Mother" is still less than 16/3 of that of "Source Code".

Some film critics bluntly said that Zhang Yimou has exhausted his talents and is no longer on the same level as the young director Sun Hao...]

……

On October 10th, the day of the opening ceremony of the Golden Rooster Awards, Sun Hao led the crew of "Death Is Coming" to Hong Kong Island International Airport amidst numerous reports by major domestic media.

The person who came to pick up the plane was Huo Wenxi. She brought a total of three buses. The first two buses carried people, and the last bus carried luggage, props, lighting equipment, and various photographic equipment...

"Director Sun Hao!"

In the evening, at the exit of Hong Kong Island International Airport, Huo Wenxi, who was wearing a red dress and sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, waved her hand violently.

"Miss Mani."

Sun Hao did it himself, dragged the big box and walked a few steps quickly, hugged her, and said with a smile: "How long have you been waiting?"

"I just arrived too." Huo Wenxi let go of her hand, looked back a little, and said in surprise, "Why are there so many people? I remember that the crew of your director seems to be in the early 100s, right?"

"I'm going to shoot a TV series next, so I want to train the shooting team in advance. Therefore, when the film is officially shot, the crew will be divided into two groups, A and B." Sun Hao tugged at his neck, feeling thin sweat running down his skin Dripping down, very sticky and uncomfortable.

The capital is already a bit cold, but the weather on Hong Kong Island is still hot.

Sun Hao wore a cotton shirt on his upper body, thick shoes on his feet, and a suit jacket in his hand. He wore it according to Zeng Li's design when he boarded the plane, but Hong Kong Island was still in summer with an average temperature of more than 30 degrees.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, everyone boarded the bus provided by Yinghuang Entertainment Company to the crew, and headed straight to the city along the airport express line.

Different from Kai Tak Airport, the new airport on Hong Kong Island was built in the Outlying Islands area. The population is sparsely populated. Most of them are gathered in Tai Ao Town. There are also many construction sites, demolished and rebuilt, and occasionally some dilapidated buildings can be seen.

This is the first time for Ning Hao, Deng Chao and others to come here. Everyone who has never seen the world, finally has the opportunity to appreciate this special legendary place in detail.

Sitting in the front row of the bus, Deng Chao opened the window and looked out.Seeing the lush greenery on both sides, but the altitude is not high, like mounds in the distance, I can't help but say: "I didn't expect that there are quite a lot of mountains on Hong Kong Island."

"Hong Kong Island is inherently mountainous, with steep terrain and few plains. Otherwise, what do you think it should look like?" Sitting next to Deng Chao, Huo Wenxi laughed.

"That's how it looks in TVB TV dramas!" Deng Chao shrugged, couldn't help but look again, and suddenly asked, "Sister Mani, is Lantau Island here?"

"Yes, over there."

Huo Wenxi pointed to the southeast.

Deng Chao took a hard look around and saw the same islands and inlets all over his eyes. He didn't know if he had found it, but he was very excited anyway, and said, "Sister Mani, you know which line we like most when we mainlanders watch TVB TV series?" Lines?"

"Which one?"

"I have a piece of land on Lantau Island!" Deng Chao was inexplicably intoxicated, and said, "Tsk tsk, now I finally see something alive."

"Uh……"

Huo Wenxi blinked her eyes, and felt that Deng Chao's grandson was very happy, like a wild donkey running off to the prairie.

It was very uncomfortable for a while, Sun Hao was calm, wise, smart, just a look, full of content, but why did his assistant look like a tease?

I don't know what Huo Wenxi was complaining about, but Deng Chao was still muttering: "Sister Mani, there is no need to climb this mountain, you can go up in just two steps."

Shaking his head after speaking, he corrected himself: "Ah, it's not mountain climbing, it should be said to be hiking."

At this point in the chat, regardless of Deng Chao, Huo Wenxi rubbed her head, and hurriedly said to Sun Hao who was sitting quietly:

"Director, under the entrustment of Mr. Yang, I would like to inform you officially that he really can't play Ting Feng in the movie "Death Comes". Therefore, Chen Guanxi will take over the role from him."

"Um……"

Hearing this, Sun Hao, who had been full of worries all along, frowned:

"Where will the crew live tonight?"

"You, cameraman, lighting engineer, makeup artist, etc. live separately from the crew.

You will live in the Yinghuang Junjing Hotel, while the rest of our crew will live in Mr. Yang’s property. The location is in Tai Po, not too far from the location where our crew is filming. It’s only a short drive away. 15 minutes away. "

"Um……"

Sun Hao thought for a while, then said: "Go and have a look first!"

"Okay." Huo Wenxi readily agreed, snapped her fingers, and the bus driver turned the steering wheel and walked on another road.

On Hong Kong Island, Tai Po is a relatively late-developed area, and it is a little far from the central area of ​​Hong Kong and Kowloon. There are many old villages here. Farming and fishing are traditional income. With the development of new towns in recent years, the fishery still maintains However, the fields have shrunk a lot.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of Huo Wenxi, the bus carried the crew of "Death Is Coming" to an old building. The appearance of the old building was actually acceptable, not as trembling as the mainlanders imagined. towering.

The corridor is also clean, but it is extremely narrow, and two fat people can't pass it side by side.

Each house in the building is about [-] square meters, but it is divided into N many compartments frantically. People live in it, and immediately feel a little bit like being locked up in a pigeon cage.

However, each room has obviously been cleaned beforehand, and the smell is specially deodorized, and a little perfume is sprinkled on it, which smells refreshing.

"Director Sun Hao, I lived in this kind of house when I was a child. I lived in this kind of house until four years ago. At that time, my sister and I started shooting commercials, and we moved away from this kind of place..."

However, before Huo Wenxi finished speaking, Sun Hao waved to everyone, and then everyone left the old building together.

"Miss Mani..."

"Ok?"

"To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with Mr. Yang's arrangement, if he is willing to cooperate, please show some sincerity.

If you are not satisfied, please tell me directly, I will find my Hong Kong Island partner immediately. "

"Uh……"

Huo Wenxi was a little confused, she didn't know why Sun Hao behaved like this.

But at this time, Sun Hao said again: "Well, Sister Mani, you can tell Mr. Yang that I brought people, not animals!"

Chapter 253 I Saw You

Hong Kong Island is very small, where every inch of land is expensive, everything is narrow, and steep steps are sandwiched between two floors, which can be seen everywhere, which is pitifully miserable.

The streets are full of large fluorescent signboards protruding horizontally, with a strong flavor in the movie, neither crowding nor obstructing, but densely packed, it is quite beautiful.

Coming out of the old building, Sun Hao led everyone to the Da Po Market Night Market. There are many snack bars here, and the end of the street cannot be seen from the street.

When they came, the crew had already distributed 2000 Hong Kong dollars to everyone, so everyone who was hungry all the way and had no shortage of money, didn't need Sun Hao's orders, so they dispersed.

Those who eat noodles eat noodles, those who drink soup drink soup, and those who want to eat peeing beef balls just sit at the door of the store and wait obediently, because the food is a bit slow to make.

Sun Hao didn't pay too much attention. After eating a bowl of 20 yuan beef brisket noodles, he came to the side of the road with Huo Wenxi, who was full of worries.

"Director, I'm sorry, it's my fault, Mr. Yang has severely criticized me just now.

However, according to the usual practice, all production crews from our mainland are like this, the director and cameraman can stay in the hotel, while the rest of the staff are..."

"I don't care about others, I only talk about me!

You can earn less money, but the people who come with me must eat, drink, and live well. "

"Well..., that's fine, but in terms of investment, Mr. Yang said that we should take an extra two percentage points." Huo Wenxi has the unique shrewdness of a woman, she gets what she gives, and she knows all about it.

"0.5, if it works, do it, if not, I'll give you the money back." Sun Hao has no intention of arguing with Yinghuang Entertainment in this regard.

"Miss Huo Wenxi, Yinghuang Entertainment's investment in the movie "Source Code" is 1100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the producer holds 10% of the shares.

At present, its global movie box office is 1.2 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 9.91 million Hong Kong dollars. According to the calculation based on the 47% shareholding of the producer, your company's net income should be 4657.7 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that you have more than 300 million dollars in this project. % net income.

And in this case, you are still embarrassing us about the accommodation of my film crew..."

After talking here, Sun Hao paused and pointed to his head.

"I even have a feeling that your boss Yang was kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Uh……"

Huo Wenxi didn't smile, but was a little embarrassed.

However, Sun Hao did not stop, but continued: "In my impression, Boss Yang is a person who does great things. Although he loves money, he will not search for employees.

So, if what I expected is not bad, this should be the handsome Xie you like, please give me a good look, right? "

"Oh ah!"

Huo Wenxi, who was still smart just now, suddenly felt a little nervous between her brows.

"No..., no, Director Sun Hao."

At this time, Sun Hao smiled and waved his hand.

"Whether it is or not, I don't care about it anymore, after all, this is on your territory, not to mention that my cooperation with Boss Yang is pretty good.

Therefore, I will give you an hour, and after an hour, if the problem is still not resolved, I will personally call your boss Yang, even if he is in Thailand at the moment to meet the White Dragon King. "

"Ah..., how do you know our boss is in Thailand?"

Huo Wenxi was surprised.

This itinerary was kept secret throughout the whole process, and even few people inside the company knew about it.

"Ha ha……"

Sun Hao smiled softly, then turned and walked towards the snack street. The beef brisket noodles just now, I added a little too much salt, and now I am thirsty, so I must find a place to have a cup of tea.

It seems to have formed a habit. Hong Kong Island filmmakers always like to go to Thailand to chat with the White Dragon King before the filming starts, talk about the starring, director, and the name of the movie... It seems that as long as they can get the approval of the old gentleman, the movie There will be no disadvantages.

Of course, now is not the most amazing moment for that old gentleman. If history has not changed, the most amazing scene should happen when the movie "The Departed" starts filming a year later...

Sitting in front of the snack bar, Sun Hao was drinking a drink when Huo Wenxi, who had just finished making a phone call, came over from a distance.

"Director Sun Hao, it's agreed. We will increase the box office share by 0.5 percentage points. Everyone in our crew can stay in the Yinghuang Junjing Hotel. As one of the film's investors, Yinghuang Entertainment will bear all the expenses."

"Well... then let's go!"

Sun Hao clapped his hands and greeted the brothers who were eating at the night market.

"It's all there. Please hurry up and eat. We will gather on the bus in 10 minutes."

……

Old man shirt, big pants, a pair of blue sneakers...

At this time, Zhou Xingchi was sitting in the night market of Tai Po Market, as ordinary as he could be. If it wasn't for an expensive bicycle parked beside him, no one would associate him with a comedy superstar.

For nothing else, Zhou Xingchi came here today to scout for the movie "Shaolin Soccer". He has been worrying in his head, where is the right place to put [Sweet Heart Mantou Shop].

Is it really necessary to follow the advice of the people in the company and move the filming location of this movie from Hong Kong Island to Zhuhai?

However, just as Zhou Xingchi was thinking about it, he suddenly saw an acquaintance, um..., in fact, he wasn't really an acquaintance, it was just that we talked on the phone twice.

At this time, Hong Kong island filmmakers, if they are impressed by any mainland director or actor, Sun Hao must be the first one!

There is no other reason, because this guy is really awesome.

Compared with most Chinese who want to enter Hollywood, this grandson is simply an alternative. He uses all Chinese classes to shoot movies by himself, and then sells the movies to Hollywood.

From the beginning of "Saw" to the most recent "Source Code", there is simply no disadvantage.

Many people, including Zhou Xingchi himself, have done research on Sun Hao's model, studying his success, and why a film made by a Chinese can be recognized by Hollywood and even the world's film market.

Now, everyone finally figured it out.

Sun Hao’s movies basically discard all the factors for the success of movies, such as cultural background, social background, humanistic discussion, inherent values... His movies only give very simple information ~ science fiction or suspense or horror will scare you to death!
