Chapter 126: Zhao Benshan's Wonderful Ideas

In fact, since "The Golden Armor in the City", the news of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's reunion has never stopped. What Wang Zhonglei did is to make the news even more chaotic.

Wang Zhonglei got a photo of Gong Li in "The Golden Armor in the City". This photo has a shocking effect. The exposed half of the roundness and the squeezed career line can make people ignore Gong Li's overall look in an instant, and fall into the ditch at a glance, and it can't even get up.

When the news that Gong Li and Zhang Yimou were in line with each other was hyped up, Wang Zhonglei found a media outlet and wrote in a prominent red title, "Zhang Yimou can also be vulgar." Next to this sentence is Gong Li's final makeup photo!

This is the attack that Wang Zhonglei wants to show. He wants to arouse a trend of public opinion and let many film critics criticize "The Yellow Armor in the City" as too vulgar!

But, is this possible? Can a photo of a fixed makeup really cause a wave of criticism? Even if a guardian sets off this trend, what will the final result become? Anyway, there will be no national boycott, even if this drama is criticized with evil comments! Maybe domestic movie fans are drooling on the Internet without knowing this, waiting for the follow-up of the photo of a fixed makeup. Haven't you seen "Wuji" being scolded to death? How many people are watching Zhang Baizhi's meat scene in the cinema to pick tents? How many people have been unsatisfied with this meat scene and started cursing vulgarity online after watching this meat scene!

The key is that there is no bigger scale in "The Golden Armor in the City" than "The Promise". Zhang Yimou is manipulating a puppet wearing only gauze to dance by the thunder pool, which is exactly the gap between attraction and seduction. It's just like you can't stop someone, just like some Chinese people like H waves and large-scale American dramas in later generations. Some people like to find plot-carrying plots in love action movies. People may not watch these two types of people who directly give them real guns and live ammunition. They may even feel that the thing is too direct and lose the feeling they want.

After listening to Wang Zhonglei's entire description, Shao Yingxiong asked through the phone: "Are you getting your salary in the heart??"

Shao Yingxiong is completely helpless by Wang Zhonglei. He asked Wang Zhonglei to hype "The Golden Armor in the City". With the news of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's breakup and reunion, the performers are upset, which can more or less distract the actors when acting, and in this way, the quality of the performance will decline. But Wang Zhonglei insists on adding extra money. Doesn't it mean that you will spread the makeup photos at this time promote the Xin picture? Okay, as soon as this photo comes out, maybe many people are looking forward to the release of the movie. Your Wang Zhonglei's report is Hua Huayi's money to pave the way for Xin picture.

"So what's wrong? There are so many bad comments in China now. My heart is scolded so badly. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Brother Xiaolei, I'm convinced. OK? I beg you, can you stop using Huayi? Let's do this, you will leave Huayi's affairs to Mr. Wang now. I have more important things to you. Isn't "Hippie Smiley" on the market? Next, the company will arrange for Ning Hao and Lao Xu to go out for further studies. You can go out with them and take good care of me during this period. You can also learn movies in both places, and hype these two things. What's going on?"

He really has nothing to say about Wang Zhonglei, and he can only say this.

Wang Zhonglei's method has indeed caused many critics to criticize the makeup photo of "The Golden Armor in the City", but is this thing a big deal for filmmakers? Even if you want to make a fuss about these things, it is not now!

Fortunately, the release of "Hippie Face" did not bring any bad news, otherwise...

The release of "Hippie Smiley" has brought a hint of coolness exclusive to Huayi in the theater this summer. This is different from "Crazy Gem". "Crazy Gem" is eye-catching in terms of story structure. Except for Ning Hao's storytelling techniques that are different from others, this story is actually an old joke. "Hippie Smiley" does not have the outer packaging of the old wine to put a new bottle, and it directly stretches out its hands into people's hearts.

Some people say that every line in "Hippie Smiley" can talk about your heart, such as the sentence "Time takes away everything, but only leaves me." The whole sentence makes people feel a little sour. But isn't this feeling exclusive to youth? When you look back, everything is good, and in the present, everything is over.

For example, the sentence that triggered the audience in the cinema, "This is a woman, the love between the eyes is full of spring" is the sentence "The legs are unfathomable"...

The whole movie uses the freshest techniques to express vulgarity. Xu Jinglei puts all the style he should have into the movie. Even the saying "After many years, our faces are still youthful and brilliant, but our hearts become ragged" has become a narrator. Shao Yingxiong only had two words of comment when he watched this movie - heartbreaking.

The movie did not have a box office as high as "Crazy Gem", nor was it as popular as "Crazy Gem". The total box office of the whole movie was only 23 million, but the movie was nominated for six Golden Rooster Awards. Although it lost in the key competition for Best Actor and Actress, it defeated "Beautiful Shanghai" in the Best Supporting Actor Award, and Tong Dawei won the cup for Best Supporting Actor. Of course, this movie was also nominated for the Palme d'Or. Unfortunately, Wen Zhang did not make a big splash, but went to the Cannes Film Festival to make a circle and then redirected back. The one who did not win the award returned in a downturn.

With the Best Feature Film Award, Xu Jinglei finally breathed a sigh of relief. First of all, "Hippie Smiley" did not lose money, and secondly, she won the award. Not only did Shao Yingxiong's request that she exceeded the task, she also accumulated many hard-core movie fans for herself.

These two preparations made Lao Xu feel his shortcomings while being proud. So she applied for suspension from the company. Shao Yingxiong got the suspension application. When he saw that the reason for suspension was to go to school, he felt relieved. How valuable is a director who can find his shortcomings anytime and anywhere. This is a talent that every company is looking forward to. Then Shao Yingxiong wrote a big pen and reported the full amount of his further study fees, which was arranged by the company to send to France to study.

Lao Xu's style cannot be suitable for Hollywood. Some French training courses are in line with her. Nothing good is good for cultivating talents, it depends on which wave she belongs to.

At the same moment, Ning Hao produced the script of "Crazy Racing". Shao Yingxiong didn't even read it, and he just said two words and didn't criticize it!

Ning Hao was stunned. He felt that Wang Zhongjun's promise and Shao Yingxiong's training finally gave him a chance. How could the notebook he sent him fall back to this end?

As a result, Huayi's arrangement made Ning Hao ecstatic. Huayi contacted Quentin and sent Ning Hao to the crew of "The Suppression Room" for further studies at the cost of a small investment. Ning Hao did not take a position with him. Huayi only had one requirement for Quentin. From the start of the group to the end of the filming, Ning Hao must be present as long as he was working.

To put it bluntly, I just let Ning Hao be the tail for Quentin.

This kind of opportunity is definitely not much for Ning Hao, a director who just gave out a box office of '30 million'. It can even be said that happiness comes from the sky. If you have this opportunity, let alone the suspension of "Crazy Racing". Even if your entire career has been stagnated for one or two years, it doesn't matter.

After arranging the further study of his two directors, Shao Yingxiong finally waited for Wang Jiawei and John Thor who had returned from abroad. At this time, he had practiced Xingyiquan for two months, and what he was looking forward to was the official establishment of the crew. At the end of October, it was news that the filming was started. At this time, Shao Yingxiong finally returned to his position. This battle is about to be decided.

In the past two months, Huang Zhizhong's "Home-Cooked Cuisine" began to explode a miracle on the small screen. After the tragedy and tragic cards were played, the audience's heart was quickly captured. Huang Zhizhong helped his wife carry a family, and the image of a real man who worked hard and had to bear the burden of his sister-in-law became a story. Hua Yi once again began to lead the trend on the small screen.

Another good news is Jiang Wen's return, and Jiang Wen's Studio's "The Sun Rises As Normal" can finally be filmed again. The next scenes will be filmed within a month and a half.

Wang Zhongjun took the opportunity to sing about the return of ginger patterns and the return of Huayi God, for a time, the news of "The Golden Armor in the City" and the "Return of Ginger Patterns" formed a polarized trend.

The news was hyped for more than a month. November was approaching quietly, and "The Grandmaster" finally started filming.

Interestingly, at the press conference for "The Grandmaster", Shao Yingxiong remembered a story about the startup of this movie. If history were based on the startup of this movie, the startup of this movie should be delayed again and again. In the end, the audience was no longer patient and gave "The Grandmaster" a negative review of "The Grandmaster". The main reason is that Wang Jiawei was too slow to shoot movies. If he wanted to watch his movies, he had to live a life, otherwise he could let this guy die intermittently.

At the opening ceremony of "The Grandmaster", Liang Chaowei, Wang Jiawei, Zhang Ziyi, Shao Yingxiong, Song Hye Kyo and Zhang Zhen were all present, and even someone who was unexpected to Shao Yingxiong came, Zhao Benshan.

Shao Yingxiong never persuaded Zhao Family Ban to be brought into the camp of "The Grandmaster", but after Wang Jiawei returned to China, he still pulled Zhao Family Ban in when he went to Northeast China to watch the shooting scene. However, this time, it was confirmed that it was not Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang that appeared in the movie, but Zhao Benshan and Liu Xiaoguang.

At the opening ceremony, the media asked the entire "Genuine Master" crew, and the funny question was: "Director Wang, how many years will this movie be filmed?"

Shao Yingxiong and Zhao Benshan sat on the rostrum, each lowering their heads and smiling. Wang Jiawei also smiled: "It won't take that long this time. You should be able to meet you around Christmas."

Zhao Benshan turned his head and avoided the microphone and said to Shao Yingxiong: "Xiao Shao, who am I playing?"

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here without even knowing who you are playing?" Shao Yingxiong did not expect that what happened in history would reappear again.

Zhao Benshan secretly pointed at Wang Jiawei with his finger and said, "Director Wang went to me and called me to play a show with him, and said that he was short of funds... What can I say?"

"I owe you my favor." Shao Yingxiong didn't expect that Wang Jiawei's moves did not change, so he tied Zhao Benshan to the chariot.

At this time, the media began to attack Shao Yingxiong and asked directly at the press conference: "Boss Shao, do you think this drama can beat "The Golden Armor in the City"?"

Shao Yingxiong quickly stopped whispering to Zhao Benshan and used the smooth passage he had developed in the entertainment industry for many years: "Men, showing off is a taboo."

The reporter continued to ask: "Boss Shao, will your avoidance of the problem affect the confidence of other employees of Huayi?"

Shao Yingxiong continued to respond: "Sometimes a boss has to be hard and can hold on."

When the reporter saw that Shao Yingxiong would never create verbal controversy, he simply went around the circle: "Huayi recently went abroad to study one after another. Is it necessary to copy the foreign model to create our own blockbuster film?"

This time, Shao Yingxiong said seriously: "Huayi has no idea to create a bigger movie than "The Grandmaster". It takes a little bit of a step. This issue is a bit unrealistic. As for sending Ning Hao and Lao Xu abroad, it is Huayi paving the way for his directorial echelon. We cannot rely solely on Wei Jiahui and Jiang Wen, but we must be able to cultivate successors."

The reporter sat down unwillingly, and he could not take up the time to ask questions for a long time. When another reporter stood up, the two of them had their eyes intertwined. The reporter continued to ask: "The contradiction between Huayi and Xin's picture has caused the conflict between the two companies in the box office market. Boss Shao, as far as you are concerned, can you two ease the relationship?"

"This question is good. I also hope that Huayi can become a company that is good at attacking and makes it feel happy. In this way, no matter who Huayi fights, it will not offend people. This is our ideal. Unfortunately, it has not been realized yet. However... to you, we are fighting, but this war is not the two companies scold each other. The news attention created by our friction will inevitably be reflected in the box office. Therefore, despite our opposition, when a movie is released at the same time, this friction will make both parties feel happy. This is the necessity of gossip in this circle."

"Boss Shao, if "The Grandmaster" successfully defeats "The Golden Armor in the City", will it create its own imprint on the big screen in the future and create its own boutique brand just like a small screen?"

Shao Yingxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Yimou is not an easily defeated opponent. I can only say that I hope so. In addition, I have reviewed myself and knew my shortcomings. I hope to be humbly narrowed myself after victory."

The reporter sat down again.

Zhao Benshan didn't know what was wrong and whispered to Shao Yingxiong to summarize what he said just now: "Never show off; be hard at critical moments to hold on; cultivate successors; be good at attacking and make them happy. Friction will make both parties feel happy; humbly narrow yourself after victory..."

Suddenly, Zhao Benshan lowered his head, staring at his crotch with a pair of eyes stunned. When he raised his head, he fell into a surprised expression of being open and smiling in the Spring Festival Gala sketch...

boom!
