Huayu: I can enter the dream world to pick up attributes

Chapter 247 247: Chinese-language movies usher in a new era, Sissy is about to celebrate her birthday
"Haha, I didn't spend money to find someone to write soft articles. This article should be written by your fans, right?"

Xu Xiuyan turned on the computer, found the article that Xu Ning said, read it carefully, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"There are a lot of talents among the fans..." After thinking for a while, she said excitedly, "The leader of the seventh generation of directors... What do you think of this statement?"

Xu Ning sat on the sofa, looking at the hot sun and the lush vegetation park outside the window, and said with a smile:

"I think the word "leader" is quite good, but, to say the seventh-generation leader, I always feel a bit weird..."

Xu Xiuyan nodded: "I think so too."

He stood up, faced the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the lonely sun in the sky, turned the Rolex on his wrist, and said:
"If I am the leader of the seventh generation, then who is the seventh generation to be led... No one, I feel as lonely as the sun in the sky."

"Hahaha, this metaphor is very appropriate. There is no new generation director who can compare with you. This name is indeed a bit hypocritical..."

"Also, it sounds like the seventh generation will be overwhelmed by the fifth and sixth generations, and the fifth and sixth generations are both academics. They graduated from Nortel. Can they admit that I am a half-way monk?"

Xu Xiuyan frowned: "That group of academics didn't count Feng Xiaogang as the fifth generation. I don't think you are a professional, but it's enough!"

Xu Xiuyan knew a lot about this aspect, and she talked freely. Xu Ning also agreed with these words, and sat down and said:
"Old Feng mentioned this to me the last time he was drinking, he said that he made a fortune late and only started making movies in the mid-90s.

"But Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum" in 87...his classmate Chen Kaige and others have also won various international awards...

"And Lao Feng only makes commercial and entertainment films for the purpose of making money, and he can't catch the eyes of the academics at all. Therefore, he himself doesn't want to squeeze into this circle."

Xu Xiuyan nodded.

After turning off the news and clicking on another article about the box office, she said: "These things are all false names, as long as you can make a movie with a box office of over [-] million, you will be the most powerful in the eyes of the audience..."

Actually, Xu Ning doesn't care much about winning awards. What age is it now...still making films in the traditional way?
Making films aimed at international awards seems to be a distinctive label of the fifth generation of directors, and most of their early works belong to this category.

But the film market after 2000 is the era of commercial films, and audiences will only pay for films they think are good-looking.

As for those serious art films, it cannot be said that they are not good-looking, it can only be said that most people don't like to watch them.

After all, living in such a stressful era, everyone has all kinds of burdens on them. It is hard to go to a movie, and the main purpose is to relax.

What audiences like to watch are movies that make them feel good, not high-quality literary films that can make them feel heavy.

Later, these big directors finally realized that after earning enough fame, they have to rely on money, so they collectively switched to commercial entertainment films.

Movies such as "Heroes", "The Golden Armor in the City", "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling", "The Big Wrist" and "Mobile Phone" all came out during this period.

"Sister, we don't care about this article, as long as I don't admit that I am the seventh generation, they can say whatever they want, now let's see how the box office is..."

He also doesn't admit that he is the seventh generation, and Xu Ning's loyal younger brother - Ning Hao, he doesn't care about this false name.

After speaking, he sat next to Xu Xiuyan, and the two of them looked at the statistics sent by the school together. Overall, the box office was very good.

7 month 9 day.

Due to the full holiday of college, middle school and primary school students, the number of movie viewers has increased sharply, and the box office of "Assembly" has reached a new height.

The single-day box office is 2100 million.

On July 7, although it fell back a bit, it still had 10 million, surpassing all domestic movies in the same period.

On February 7, 11 million.

On February 7, 12 million.

On February 7, 13 million.

After 13 days, the total box office has reached 1.42 million. This figure is very good, but it is still 2.6 million short of the 1.18 million box office of "Assembly" in the previous life.

There are only 17 days left until the release date.

Can it break through the figure of 2.6?
a bit dangerious!

At present, the single-day box office has been declining, and the film schedule and attendance rate have begun to fall. It is estimated that whether it can break through 2 million in the end is a problem.

But even if it is less than 2 million, even if it is only 1.5 million, it will shock many people, especially the director circle.

As the old saying goes, peers are enemies.

You are a new director, you can win a box office of 1.5 million by just taking pictures, where do you let other people's old faces go?

What followed would definitely be an unprovoked attack on his movie, which Xu Ning had already expected.

On July 7th, in the carnival of fans, "Assembly" broke through the 15 million mark, and countless fans spread the word on various forums and blogs.

At the same time, many people can't understand the behavior of fans.

Your idol made a lot of money making movies, what does it have to do with you?

To this, the fans just replied: You don't understand the joy of chasing stars, the better the idol, the more face we have!
……

Amid all the harmonious voices, an untimely voice suddenly appeared. An unknown director accused Xu Ning in public of consuming PLA soldiers.

This person probably wanted to gain popularity, but he couldn't find a place to rant, and started talking nonsense. Before Xu Ning could fight back, the fans rushed him.

Since the film was released, no matter whether the artists in the circle know or not, when asked by the media about Xu Ning's film, no one said a word.

There are no other reasons. One is that he really admires Xu Ning's talent, and the other is that he is afraid of Xu Ning's financial resources and connections.

And now the unknown director who came out to criticize him didn't have any good works, but later someone broke the news that this person was ordered by others.

The spearhead was directed at a certain director surnamed Chen.

One or two people said that Xu Ning would not believe it, but there were too many people who said it, which made him a little suspicious, so he asked someone to inquire.

In the end, through the relationship with the boss of CCTV, some things were actually asked. The unknown director was really instigated by someone to spray him.

Those who instigated him wanted a lesser-known director to stand up and complain first. If Xu Ning didn't fight back, they would increase the intensity of the criticism.

Xu Ning is not a soft persimmon.

Now that you know this situation, you must fight back.

He immediately contacted the person behind Principal Zhou's relationship. When Principal Zhou called and only gave his name, this person promised to apologize immediately.

Is it over with an apology?
I have to lose money!
Principal Zhou, at the hall level, the relationship behind it is even more unimaginable, making him a little director is as easy as playing.

Xu Ning and Principal Zhou have known each other for several years, and they often walk around, and his daughter is still his own fan... With a good daughter who blows Xu Ning's hair every day, ordinary things can be done easily.

the next day.

A wide range of apology articles appeared in the media, and by the way, they praised "Assembly Number" heavily.

Afterwards, even Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Zhao Baogang... and the director surnamed Chen all spoke out in front of the media and praised Xu Ning severely.

They commented on "Assembly" from a professional point of view, and finally came to a conclusion that Director Xu is very high in acting, music, and directing.

For a time,

People inside and outside the circle were all screened by Xu Ning's report, and the happiest was his group of fans.

One of the things many people do when they wake up every day is to search for news reports about Xu Ning on the Internet.

And some people in the circle, their eyes are red, and their teeth are very sour:
"Damn it, why is this kid so handsome and powerful... Cough, since you can't beat him, let's join."

With such a mentality, many people in the circle began to try their best to make friends with Xu Ning, some through acquaintances, some through business performances and drama appointments.

Fang Loon, as a representative of Xiangjiang entertainment industry, also sent him an invitation card, saying that in August he would bring a few people from Xiangjiang to Beijing to invite him to dinner.

"Brother Long, if you come to the capital, I'm sure I'll treat you to dinner. I have to do my best as a landlord." Xu Ning said with a smile.

Fang Long shook his head repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "That won't work, I have to come. This is to celebrate the popularity of your new movie. My big brother should be at the table."

At the same time, Hua Tsai, Xing Yeh, Jay Lun, and Cai Yinong sent congratulatory messages one after another. Many people who have a good relationship with him want to cooperate with him again.

Cai Yinong also mentioned the filming plan of "Sword II and III" on the phone, and asked him if he had a schedule...

After all, Xu Ning's current coffee status is different from the past, and Cai Yinong is worried that he will no longer take on TV dramas, but develop into higher-end movies.

In this regard, Xu Ning did not refuse.

Just said that if there is a schedule, it will be considered.

But in the Beijing circle, he has never stopped banquets these days. The bosses of the main station and CCTV, the Huayi group, the fifth-generation director group, and Huang Bo's younger brothers... Xu Ning is here every day. entertainment.

Until December 7th.

The box office of "Assembly" has reached 1.8 million, and the momentum is obviously not as good as before. I am afraid that when it finally ends, it will be at most 2 million.

The entertainment industry in July is all concerned about the same topic, [Can the assembly number exceed [-] million? 】

Wang Jianlin, who was far away in Dalian, saw the news and called him that day: "Xiao Ning, don't worry, Uncle Wang will help you."

On the evening of the 25th, Wang Jianlin held a short meeting within the group, arranging for the linkage between the Wanda mall and the theater chain.

[Anyone who buys movie tickets for "Assembly" at Wanda Cinemas can exchange them for food coupons of corresponding value. 】

For a while, those who were hesitant to watch the movie no longer hesitated, and rushed into Wanda to buy tickets.

The box office is soaring.

The original box office of 300 million per day suddenly rose to 500 million, and it was about to break through 2 million.

The fans are also awesome.

Some people even bought four or five movies just to help Xu Ning, like Zhao Liying, who bought ten by herself... and cut half of the salary that Xu Ning gave her.

Qianqian, Aunt Liu, Yuanyuan, Qin Lan, Qinqin, Bingbing, Jingwen and the others also mobilized their friends to buy tickets.

Xu Ning did not refuse this kind of behavior, because this is a way to promote the purchase of movie tickets, not just swiping tickets.

That kind of simple swiping of tickets is done secretly and secretly, and the nature of the two is very different.

As for Xu Xiuyan, she is already in contact with the theaters, planning to extend the screening time and strive for more box office.

On July 7, theoretically, it was the last day of the screening of "Assembly". By eleven o'clock at noon, the box office had exceeded 31 million.

As soon as the data came out, the fans were very excited. Post bars, forums and other places were already overwhelmed by Xu Ning's fans.

The media also published articles in the first place to actively report the event, and the number of website hits and newspaper sales increased a lot:

"This year's newcomers are too terrifying. The box office of the first movie he directed broke [-] million. He deserves to be the newcomer king!!"

""Assembly" closed! 2 million box office surpassed "Kung Fu" 1.73 million, ranking No.2 in the box office of domestic movies over the years, only Zhang Yimou's "Hero" can compete with it."

"The biggest dark horse in the Chinese film industry is born!"

"It is almost impossible for Chen Kaige's "The Promise" to surpass "Assembly". Let us wait and see."

"July 2005 was a moment worth recording in the history of Chinese film... Since then, domestic films will open a new era of commercial blockbusters."

"Zhang Yimou recently participated in an event and revealed that the new movie has been actively prepared, and the protagonist is initially set to be Xu Ning, with the goal of [-] million."

"..."

quickly,

The time came to 31:07 on the evening of the 30st.

The assembly number has been confirmed to be postponed for one week.

In fact, what Xu Ning cares about is the box office during the regular screening time of the film. As for the later postponement, it is not the focus of his attention.

At this moment, there are many people sitting beside him, even Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou are sitting here.

Today, the two directors Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang are the hosts, and the little brother is invited to dinner, and there are other directors present.

Such as Jiangwen, Zhao Baogang, Tianzhuangzhuang...

In addition, all the main creators of the assembly number were also called by Xu Ning, Liu Yifei, Fan Binger, Huang Bo, Deng Chao...

Due to the large number of people, only Fan Binger and Liu Yifei were lucky enough to sit at the main table, and the other actors sat at the other table.

Even so, Hu Jun, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Da Hei Niu, Liao Fan and others were very excited.

Because, if Xu Ning hadn't brought them here, they would have rarely had the opportunity to meet such a great director as Zhang Yimou.

at this time,

Three rounds of wine.

Hu Jun, as the big brother at the other table, took the lead to take the flagon to the main table to toast.

He first glanced at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning understood what he meant. Hu Jun was in a dilemma whether to respect himself first or Zhang Yimou and the others first.

Currently, besides Xu Ning and the two beauties, there are seven or eight well-known directors at the main table.

Hu Jun and the others were holding small jugs. If they drank one pot after another, it would be almost the same tonight, so Xu Ning stood up and said with a smile:
"Brother Jun, I see that you are holding small pots. Are you planning to have one pot or two pots for each person, haha."

Zhang Yimou has never seen any scene before, so he naturally understood what Xu Ning meant, and quickly got up and said:
"Small pots are fine. One pot of wine per person is eight pots. The amount is one and a half catties. If you have to drink it, you will have an accident... Just use a small cup."

Hu Jun, Huang Bo and others behind him were overjoyed, they all agreed, and turned back to the table to pick up the wine glasses.

After the toasts of the eight big directors in a circle, it was Xu Ning's turn, and Hu Jun directly filled the small wine pot:

"Thank you, Director Xu, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make a blockbuster film worth [-] million yuan. I'll do this pot of wine first."

The others followed suit, and when they were bored with a pot of two taels of wine, Xu Ning also drank a pot and said with a smile: "I will make films in the future, everyone should join in."

Hu Jun: "Haha, I am the first to sign up."

Huang Bo: "I'll just wait at your door."

Deng Chao: "Director Xu, I can jump on the pole, so count me in."

"..."

By the end of the drink, everyone was staggering.

Liu Yinyin supported him to walk.

The two of them didn't go back to the villa, but slept in the courtyard all night. The next morning, when Xu Ning opened his eyes, he found Yin Yin lying beside him.

……

After a few days,
Xu Ning and Aunt Liu came to a five-star hotel in Dongcheng, booked a large auditorium, and planned to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Sissy!
　Thank you all for voting!
