Chapter 105 "Just kidding" (3/5)

(1.5 million words...scatter flowers!)

The film industry belongs to men and women.

Which boat to board, which circle to join, and which big brother to follow.

It is a course worth studying!

The movie circle is similar to the world of ​​​the world, with the word "righteousness" first, and the one who is not loyal and does not have a long time to spend it. If you put it in the capital, loyalty is called the savage.

Obviously, Stephen Chow felt that the Huang brothers were not angry enough!

In Hong Kong back then, they could not make it without being loyal. Yang Shoucheng and his elder brother Cheng, you can say that they are fickle, but you can't say that they are not loyal enough...

The Huang brothers, including Feng Liuye, were all the people, and they were not angry!

Anyway, Fan Xiaoye was also in "Cell Phone 2"...

I didn't even dare to give up...

Mr. Fan is not the master. You are forced to speak out due to the situation. It is understandable!

But Stephen Chow is really the master. His name is at least now, at least, the golden signboard.

"Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" was sold well. During the release of the movie, the two parties signed a "Supplementary Agreement II" in addition to the official agreement. After the supplementary agreement was negotiated in the email, they only had to sign and stamp it.

However, Huayi used the phrase "President Huang is on vacation" to push the signing time to the end of the New Year.

After the Chinese New Year and the box office hit a record high, the Huang brothers refused to admit it.

In court, Stephen Chow showed the evidence, and the black and white text in Huayi's email read: "Confirmed", "No problem", "You can sign at any time".

However, the email has no legal effect. Because there is no formal agreement, the court sentenced Stephen Chow to lose the case, and the 86 million box office dividend he asked for was not recovered.

According to the rules of the "old man" in the capital, a promise is worth a thousand yuan, and the promises must be done without a contract.

Obviously, the Huang brothers are not old cannons...

Therefore, the 21 joint publishers of "Mermaid" have no Huayi Brothers...

I really have to thank the Huang brothers. If it weren't for him, Stephen Chow wouldn't have parted ways with Huayi!

Orange can't sign the distribution contract with Stephen Chow in three movies...

...

In fact, some people in the industry are not optimistic about "The Mermaid" and predict that Stephen Chow will destroy his own era.

"The Mermaid" has four trailers, two focusing on comedy elements, one focusing on love, and the last one being called the ultimate trailer.

The ultimate trailer has almost no comedy elements, the special effects have obvious flaws, and the exaggerated performance of the characters seems to be inconsistent with the serious theme...

Even a little embarrassed...

But it doesn't matter. Lu Xiaoran has watched the whole movie. If the movie adds 30 minutes and expresses the love between Liu Xuan and Shanshan a little more, the story can be more perfect...

However, the 93-minute choice is more suitable for scheduling!

You have to think about the theaters, "Macau Storm 3" 110 minutes, "Three Fights of the Bone Spirit", 120 minutes...

Of course, there are more "Mermaid"!

...

"In my heart, Stephen Chow is the greatest comedy king in Chinese history. No one can surpass him!"

"The title of King of Comedy is not for nothing. I dare to conclude that the box office of "The Mermaid" will definitely surpass "Detective Chinatown" and be crowned the new Chinese-language movie box office champion!"

"Zhou Xingchi's movies taught me for the first time that movies can be entertained and that movies themselves can bring happiness to people."

"We owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket! Or, we all owe a reply to the past youthful years..."

Lu Xiaoran said it very slowly, making sure Zhou Xingchi could understand...

"Thank you for your affirmation..."

"Many people say that Stephen Chow is a tyrant on the set..."

Zhou Xingchi himself replied: "Some shots you may accept once, and you will see if anyone is unhappy if you ng them a hundred times."

"Actually no one owed me any movie tickets. It seems that I owe the audience a lot, just hope I can make things better and repay them."

"Have you ever considered acting by yourself?"

Zhou Xingchi smiled: "I am so old, what role is suitable for me? Or stop acting..."

Lu Xiaoran: "Don't worry, when "The Mermaid" is released, I will take time to touch creativity with Stephen Chow. Maybe I can get a work out!"

"real?"

Remembering that he didn't say anything, Zhou Xingchi was a little excited...

"I do have this idea. I have made an eight-episode TV series. I have already thought of the name, and it is called "Joining". The hero is fifty-five years old and is a children's program host... It mainly tells the story of life's sorrows and joys in the play and outside the play... Of course, this is just a creativity and has not been completely finished yet!"

Zhou Xingchi was a little surprised: "TV series?"

"It can be considered an online drama... After all, the length of eight episodes is not many TV stations willing to take over... As for the movie, it is difficult for me to write a work that will satisfy you and the market..."

Why doesn’t Zhou Xingchi act?

The main reason is that I am worried that the market will not buy it...

The test of "Yangtze River 7" is not successful, and Stephen Chow retreated to the second line. You also know the reputation of that movie...

After "Yangtze River VII", the concerns about the difficulty of breaking through the characters made him not stand in front of the screen for 10 years; the various "god creations" of him in the Internet era made him dare not break through his feelings and go further, so "Mermaid" only dares to revolve around its own old routines;

Rely on your feelings to earn some box office...

But feelings are easily squeezed out, and even "owed votes" are used...

In fact, he was a little confused about the market. In recent years, he has reached the point where he has found who is popular and who works with him. "Journey to the West" and "The Mermaid" has found Wen Zhang...

"The Demons" even found Brother Fan...

It will be even harder in the future!

Xiongzhou Wu Lie, Jun Cai Xingchi, his golden age has passed!

Zhou Xingxing thought for a while: "Can you show me the script?"

"…In my computer, we will go to the hotel later and I will give it to you!"

The reporters in the audience were already excited: Lu Xiaoran will work with Zhou Xingchi to create a new work...

"Ahem, no one wants to ask "Operation Mekong"?"

This is a roadshow of "Mekong"!

"…Director, I want to ask, do you think the box office success of "Operation Mekong" has any significance for Chinese films?"

Lu Xiaoran: "This question is very good, the works are good, the audience loves to watch, those who make movies make money, and those who play movies make money. This is a phenomenon that should be found in the normal film market. As far as I know, a large number of movies starring celebrities will be launched next year, and many companies and producers are thinking about making quick money!"

"I want to tell those people through Operation Mekong that they can play less colorful and stubbornly, and work hard on the movies themselves, which can make a lot of money. Moreover, the money is earned steadily and openly, and the audience is very willing to pay for it."

From the end of 2015 to 2017, a bunch of young and handsome guys flocked to the big screen. While the audience stayed away, they said, "This is a domestic movie, there is no hope for domestic movies!"

Why is Lu Xiaoran so anxious?

More than 40 movies have been released in two years?
Chapter completed!
