Chapter 968 962 The Trembling Future
Chapter 968 962. The Trembling Future
"Director Xu, I'll trouble you with the budget for the movie."
"No problem, I'll ask the studio to make it in the next two days, and we'll talk about it then?"
"Okay, no problem!"
After he and Yuan Jinlin finalized the preparations for the script called "Monster Hunt", Xu Xin said goodbye.
After getting in the car, he sent the script to the studio.
He sent it directly to the audit department, after all, there was no need for Qi Lei to transfer such things.
But... he had just got home when Qi Lei called him:
"Are you planning to make a commercial film!?"
Through the screen, Xu Xin could sense the excitement in his tone.
I couldn't help but complain:
"Brother, if our factory is short of money, tell me. I can get you a few hundred million interest-free loan, okay? Why are you so excited when you hear that I want to make a commercial film?"
"Hahaha~"
Qi Lei's hearty laughter rang out on the phone:
"How can I not be excited? The important thing is not that you make a commercial film, but to prove that you are equally good no matter what kind of film you make. The power of example is infinite! This is why I am excited... Although I haven't read this script yet... How is it? Are you confident?"
"It's not a matter of confidence or not, but this script is really to my taste. Speaking of business, chasing light needs an opportunity to show itself. I conservatively estimate that this film needs to use more than 600 special effects shots. Domestic films need to gradually begin to explore this film model. On a smaller scale... my daughter is a relative "I want to go on an adventure with my parents. I have to satisfy them~"
"... Nuan Nuan wants to act?"
"No."
"Then..."
"Haha, you don't understand this."
Recalling the child sitting in his arms and imitating the little tiger that day, he couldn't help but smile:
"Brother Qi, look at this story, just let someone make a budget."
"Well! Then when do you plan to start the preparation period?"
"Next year."
"Tomorrow...ah!?"
Listening to the other party's surprised and regretful tone, Xu Xin sighed helplessly:
"Alas...Brother, I'm not a model worker, do you really treat me like a cow? Otherwise, just make a few more plays for me, and I'll just open ten this year."
He thought to himself that even if it was a cow, you should give it some time to rest, right?
You don't give it anything...
Isn't it crazy?
In fact, he can understand Qi Lei's mentality.
Even though "Lost in Thailand" and "Journey to the West" have already achieved phenomenal box office.
But... neither Star Master nor Xu Zheng are actually direct descendants of the Xi'an Film Studio.
One is from the Shanghai circle, and the other is from the Hong Kong circle...
Although "The Burning Sun" which was released on the 25th has now reached a box office of 1.177 billion, it is not low. It is a movie that can win awards and have a good box office... But the studio still needs to come up with a commercial film with full gold content to complete the puzzle.
People are always forgetful. No one will remember how "33 Days" was a small win, or how "Perfect" harvested the international market... This is not true. It should be said that these achievements are destined to be updated and iterated by the current development speed of the entertainment industry in the future.
But... the gold content of high box office is definitely the higher the better.
What's more, up to now, I haven't made a serious commercial film.
This is a good opportunity to raise expectations and increase popularity.
So...
"Okay, my brother Qi, just put your heart at ease, and let the market test it when the time comes. How about it?"
"Of course I am relieved... the feeling of anticipation, do you understand?"
"Hahaha~ Good things are never too late, it's okay, take your time. No matter what, this movie will definitely be released in 2015, don't worry."
"..."
Although he has become accustomed to the style of doing things in the first year and getting results in the second year, Qi Lei was still speechless at this moment.
He felt empty in his heart.
...
I don't mention how Qi Lei felt.
At almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Sicong's mood was not very good.
Because, when Wei Wei heard that Xu Xin was going to take this script, she gave a positive answer:
"I will play it."
"Hey... Brother Qi..."
He looked at his fiancée speechlessly.
I thought to myself, what nonsense are you talking about...
Xu Xin smiled and waved his hands:
"You can act, of course. But look at your fiancé, his face is green."
He then gave Wang Sicong a guarantee:
"It will be next year, don't worry. It will definitely not delay your wedding... By the way, where are you going to put it?"
Wang Sicong felt more at ease.
He said:
"Officially, we plan to hold it in the Maldives. We won't build a palace or anything like that... We both think those foreign palaces are not as good as ours, and they look particularly vulgar. We originally planned to put it in Selby Church, but then we thought about it and decided to put it by the sea. Book an island and invite relatives and friends to go on vacation. It's more private, and everyone can have fun. Then we can have a banquet in China, and it will be complete... What do you think?"
Xu Xin thought, you ask me about your wedding?
But from Lao Wang's words "more private", he could tell that his wedding might not be too high-profile.
I guess this should also be the opinion of Seventh Brother.
So I nodded slightly and asked:
"What is that Selby Church? Is it nice?"
"It looks pretty good. Lao Lang found it. I like it... but she thinks it's too fancy. But Lunzi likes it very much. After hearing that I don't use it, she listed it as one of the alternative wedding venues."
"Laolang found it?"
"Well... he really has to do it. No matter where in Europe, his words are really effective. This wave really let him pretend."
Listening to his friend's complaints, Xu Xinxin said that it felt much more upscale than his own wedding...
Then he looked at Qi Ge:
"Before this story, you shouldn't take other roles, right? Prepare well."
"Yes!"
This time, Wei Wei agreed just as readily.
Obviously, she also knew the significance of wedding preparations.
Besides, this story looks... quite simple.
At this time, she heard a sentence:
"I'm actually quite worried that you will feel that the role is fixed."
"No. Didn't Director Xu also say that being able to interpret a role to perfection and be remembered by everyone is also an honor for an actor. I'm not afraid of being stereotyped."
Wei Wei smiled and gave her answer.
Unlike others, she didn't actually want to be an actor from the beginning.
Or, this is also the difference between her and everyone else.
Unlike Sister Mi and Liu Yifei, who were at the peak of their debut.
Unlike Shishi, who was also very lucky when she debuted and concentrated all the resources of the company.
From beginning to end, she actually only had one understanding of acting and singing.
That is to make money.
Make money, so that mother, grandma, grandpa and others can live a good life without suffering and pain.
Then find a lover who loves her and have a child of her own. She will be the most perfect mother and give her children the happiest and most secure childhood.
She is not so ambitious in her career.
She used to be a workaholic just to make her family live a good life.
In this respect, she is different from anyone else.
She is not as ambitious as Sister Mi, and she admires her ability to balance family and work so well... But don't Nuannuan and Yangyang often cry because they miss their mother.
Even someone as powerful as Sister Mi can't be truly perfect... How can I do it?
So, don't be afraid of being stereotyped.
Since there is a chance to achieve the "ceiling" level of a certain type of role, then try to do it.
Focus on one point and reach the pinnacle!
In this way, at least after I retire, maybe ten or twenty years later, I will still leave my classic image on the screen like those old movie stars in the past, and in the memory of a generation.
Isn't this also a beautiful thing?
What's more... There are so many actors in the entertainment industry, how many people are qualified to make "Director Xu" think of this specific actor when he first encounters this kind of role?
From this point of view, I am already very powerful!
At this time, Xu Xin's mobile phone "ding" sounded.
It was not the usual WeChat noise, but something similar to the mobile phone QQ noise.
He picked it up and saw that it was an email.
It was in English.
So he clicked it directly, read the content, and suddenly laughed.
"Haha~"
"What are you laughing at?"
The young master who was chewing an apple asked casually.
Seeing his friend handing him the phone, he took a look and found it was in English, so he read it directly:
"Hi, Xu, this is Keanu. My friend, I am in Cannes now, and I just finished the premiere of "Tai Chi". Haha, Xu, this is really a wonderful experience. I am very grateful to be loved by the audience as a director in this show. This is a fresh and fulfilling thing for me. And this is inseparable from your help.
I also saw Jia, and we talked about you. He said you are in China now. My friend, I really hope to share this joy with you at this time. After the film festival is over, I will go to China to start the film promotion. You must prepare a bottle of good wine for me, and I will meet you again with the best cigar... Wow, Keanu Reeves' letter is really full of gay love."
He knew that his girlfriend was not good at English, so he translated the whole letter.
Wei looked at Xu Xin with a little surprise:
"Director Xu, which movie is this "Tai Chi" he made?"
"Yes, "Man of Tai Chi"."
Xu Xin nodded, and after getting his phone back, he began to search for the nomination information of the 66th Cannes Film Festival.
The name of the film "Man of Tai Chi" was not found in the main competition unit.
It was shortlisted for "A Certain Unit".
At the beginning, his words to Chen Hu and Keanu Reeves were like a prophecy.
Keanu successfully brought the talent of "Man of Tai Chi" to Cannes across the ocean.
Although he didn't see the quality...but obviously as a new director, he gave a very full score answer sheet.
Even if he didn't win the award in the end.
How many directors in the world can be shortlisted for Cannes with their first work?
It's a pity that "Man of Tai Chi" should have just premiered at this time, and there is no news or comments.
While thinking, he gave his reply:
"Of course, Keanu, my friend. I hope you can win the award you want in Cannes, and see you in China."
After replying, he put away his phone and said:
"When do you plan to take your wedding photos?"
"After a while. I'm looking for a photographer. It's a bit difficult to book an appointment with some of the big-name international photographers. They have schedules, and I have to see whose style I like better... Hey, let me agree first, a documentary about my wedding. , you have to take a good picture of me! Don’t fool me, you hear me?”
Xu Xin simply rolled his eyes.
"Do you even need to say this?"
Then he turned to Di Wei and said:
"Brother Qi, if you think my documentary is good, you are welcome to come again~"
Si Wei was stunned.
There are still some people who haven't realized the meaning of these words.
But Wang Sicong, who had a quick reaction, directly threw the cigarette he had just put in his hand at Xu Xin's face:
"You deserve to die!"
"Hahahaha~"
While laughing, Xu Xin stood up.
Go smoke.
The three of them left the house together.
In late April, the weather in Yanjing is changing from bad to bad every day. The sun may be shining brightly today, but it will be raining and snowing tomorrow.
But the weather is nice today, and the sun is warm.
"Hey, by the way, did I tell you? This year's "The Voice" is undergoing a major change."
"What's the alternative?"
Xu Xin asked as he sat on the horse with a cigarette in his mouth.
"After Luan Lun expressed his intention to quit last year, Dao Lang and Han Hong also quit, but for no other reason than that we had developed feelings for each other in the past few years and could not accept the withdrawal of good friends. But Li Keqin did not leave. I The people we’re looking for again are Tian Zhen, Yu Chengqing, and Liu Huan.”
"Ouch~"
Xu Xin was a little surprised:
"These are all powerful people... But it seems that I haven't heard from Tian Zhen for a long time. Why is she gone? I remember... it seems like a long time ago, there were rumors that she was banned?"
"How long has it been? She had to recuperate because she had a chronic blood disease. But she has almost recovered in the past two years. She had no plans to come back, but she really likes watching the show "The Voice" . So I approached her with the intention of giving it a try, and she agreed without saying a word. "
"What about Liu Huan?"
"That's about right...hey."
Speaking of this, Wang Sicong's face couldn't help but glow:
"Facts have proved that everyone is not blind. As long as a program has no shady content and is clean enough, it can attract many capable singers! And these seniors in the music industry obviously have this intention, and they have invited Dao Lang and Han Hong It was much smoother at that time...I said this two days ago when I was meeting with people from "The Voice". We are cultivating talents for the future Chinese music scene. When the Chinese music scene goes global in the future, each of us will have to bear a huge debt! Not to mention the current copyrighted cultural output of "Good Voice", do you believe it? , our concerts are getting better and better! As the wheel says, Hua Liu is the best!"
Hearing this, Xu Xin nodded slightly.
Obviously, he agreed with his friend's words.
One day, everyone, including myself, will grow old. Regardless of the music world or the film world, there will be endless new people appearing to take their places.
Each generation has its own mission.
But one thing is never wrong.
Link up the past and open up the future.
Generations of people work hard, no matter what industry they are in, the goal of everything is a brighter future!
People of their generation listen to Jay Chou.
The next generation... there will definitely be musicians growing up who are better than wheels.
In other words, there must be someone better than myself, Wheels, or even Lao Lang growing up.
Be their youth.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but murmured:
"The future is yours..."
After saying that, without any warning, he suddenly trembled.
?
The weather is so nice.
Not cold either.
What's going on with this shiver?
