As a result, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Zhenwei flew to Shanghai together on August 3 to ask for help. It’s not like...the two were undecided as to whether they should let the second part be released.

In the first 11 days of its release, it took in a box office of 170 million yuan in the mainland, which is definitely not a loss for the entire project. But what Ah Xing is afraid of is that if the second part continues to be released, the audience will accuse him of cheating money. This will not be a loss for the overall project.

There has been no good news for the film industry this year.

After finishing the one-day filming of "King Kong" step by step, Zhao Donghuai calmly received Ah Xing in Huazhi's flagship store, "The second part will be released as usual, and the word-of-mouth is just waiting to keep the bullets flying for a while."

"Now is the Internet age. Audiences buy the disc and go home to watch it. Watching it over and over again will lead to a lot of self-interpretation. I am afraid that by then, you and Ah Wei will be able to interpret content that neither you nor Ah Wei have thought of."

"You can work on other projects first, and just pay attention to the film and television section of Songshan Forum."

Yuan Lu’s two-part Westward Journey journey was a trend of interpretation brought out by universities in northern Qing Dynasty. It rehabilitated him and brought out various classic interpretations...

It is really the development of the Internet that has made the Westward Journey project popular.

The internet speed in the mainland of this plane is still average at this stage, not much better than the original track, but Hong Kong Haowan has long been in the fiber optic era. Now Ah Xing is being scolded so badly. Those old star fans know how to do things. It is nothing more than the current level.

No DVD was released.

The second part will be released as usual and will continue to have a low box office, but there is hope that it can be recovered in the disc market. No, strictly speaking, at this stage, the two parts have failed in theaters and have not made much money. If they really wait for the reputation to be reversed, they will be criticized countless times.

If you over-interpret it, it will also reflect back on the overall market value of 100 Years Pictures.

However, all kinds of overly in-depth interpretations... still need to read both parts in order to understand it.

In the first part, Zhu Yin's Zixia Fairy was just a guest appearance. Without the follow-up of the second part, it was cut out of context and had little impact at all.

Without the love story about the Supreme Treasure in the second part, Zhu Yin's mark of the times would not have been so strong that decades later countless people would still miss Zixia.

With Zhao Donghuai's affirmation, Ah Xing and Ah Wei breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that the market value of Hundred Years Pictures would be plummeted due to the impact. It was nothing to lose money for the time being, which would cause the wealth of Zhao Donghuai, Wang Jing, Liu Dehua and others to shrink.

, that would be great fun.

While a few people were chatting, Gao Yuanyuan came to hand in homework again. She greeted her politely before handing in the second version (leaving me behind).

After reading it this time, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but nod his head, "I'm making good progress. I barely passed with 60 points for the first time. There is still 1 point added to you for your face. This time I can get 70 points."

"There is no need to shoot anymore (leave me), you can go prepare (the sound engineer)."

Xiao Gao laughed happily and silently for more than ten seconds before nodding, "Thank you very much, boss, then I will start filming (Sound Engineer) tomorrow."

Zhou Xingxing said in surprise, "Xiao Gao, this is your first time as a director to make such a good film? That's okay."

Think about it, in January Gao Yuanyuan went to the crew of "Westward Journey" to interview Zixia Fairy, but because of her poor acting skills, Zhu Yin pushed her too far away... and was screwed.

I watched a five-minute short film (Leave Me) before. For a student work, it was really good. At least if it was placed in the directing department of the film school, it would definitely be above the passing level.

Liu Zhenwei all praised, "I didn't expect that Xiao Gao is not only so handsome, but also has first-class qualifications, and is also so talented."

Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly said politely, "I don't dare. It's because the boss has a good script and the actors performed well. I didn't do anything."

For big directors such as Liu Zhenwei, Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jing, they can finish a big movie in a month, but she can finish a short film with just a few actors and a few ordinary scenes in just one month??

She didn't dare to take credit at all.

………………

New Day On August 4th, Gao Yuanyuan was still in the guest room thinking about how to film the sound engineer, when she received a call from Ah Xing and asked her if she could read the sound engineer script.

On the second floor of Huazhi flagship store, when Gao Yuanyuan and her assistant knocked on the door in a private room, they saw Ah Xing and Liu Zhenwei already sitting there. After being polite, after they finished reading the tuner's script, Ah Xing slapped the table and sighed.

, "It is indeed a good book by Zhao Sheng. This book is really wonderful."

"Xiao Gao, do you want to use me as the leading actor? I'll be a guest star for free, whatever you want."

Gao Yuanyuan is numb. She was interviewed in January, and now in early August, Zhou Xingxing comes to apply for her micro film project??

Liu Zhenwei said with a smile, "I can be used as a backup, even if I'm in charge, I'm not afraid of embarrassment. Ah Xing and I just want to avoid the limelight and avoid the scolding. The original date is August 10th (The Marriage of the Great Sage in Journey to the West)"

Released.”

"The audience is scolding us so fiercely now, and we will be even worse off then."

It is said that the director's assistant who started out as an assistant to Zhao Donghuai has been busy for half a year, and how many people in the industry only treat Gao Yuanyuan as an ordinary assistant apprentice?

Huang Jianxin, Chen Musheng and other assistant directors broke down all kinds of knowledge and skills and taught them in pieces, and they kept repeating the teachings, for fear that Xiao Gao would not be able to learn...

Ah Xing and Liu Zhenwei must have made guest appearances as part of on-site teaching. Of course, the two of them really admired how good and sophisticated the script was.

The original track of the ten-minute short film won the French César Award for Best Short Film.

………………

August 10th arrived as scheduled, and with the release of "The Marriage of the Great Sage", this movie is still on a trend of opening high and going low.

Many star fans and those who watched the first Moonlight Boxer went to the theaters because of it. In the first four days of the first weekend, it once again took in a box office of 150 million yuan in the mainland and 22 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

Massive curses once again swept through East and Southeast Asia, and there was even no shortage of media to criticize the movie in print media. Are the viewers stupid? The curses in the first part were so loud and obvious. Why are there so many people walking into the second part?

Going to the theater and paying to watch a movie?

This is not how people cheat money, it’s because the audience is too stupid...

The related market value of 100 Years Pictures has dropped by hundreds of millions. The project still made money from the box office in theaters, but the profit was not as much as the market value dropped.

Cheng Long felt this the most. Last year's "Thunderbolt" had a box office loss in terms of investment. Not to mention that the subsequent market value of New World Pictures plummeted, and the losses were even more serious.

But at this stage, Zhou Xingxing is hiding in the (King Kong) studio area in Shanghai, slowly following Gao Yuanyuan's shooting plan, and the short film "Leave Me" with its perspective shooting and other aspects of production are very cheap and efficient.

In fact (the sound engineer) is similar, the scenery is simple, there are not many changing places, everything is enriched by the actors' performances.

Zhou Xingxing played a man who pretended to be blind to help customers tune and play the piano, a role full of voyeurism, and the most important murder case of the female head of household, played by an actress, was played by Li Lizhen.

Li Lizhen was on the set of "King Kong". She played the role of Annie, a pretend singer who was sent to the stage after King Kong was captured and brought back to Shanghai later in the movie. Her role was very small, and the guest sound engineer also played a fun role.

Ah Zhen, who is 29 years old this year, you can also say that she is an actress.

In late August, when the summer season came to an end, (Harry Potter 3) lived up to expectations and had accumulated a total box office of more than 800 million US dollars worldwide, once again perfectly continuing the strong money-making power of the major series.

Gao Yuanyuan also went to the Huhuazhi flagship store and handed in her (tuner) job.

When Zhao Donghuai, Ah Hong, and Winona watched the 14-minute short film, Ah Hong said in surprise, "Okay, Xiao Gao, this movie can be considered quite satisfactory, giving it a score of 70."

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Let's reshoot it again, using a film camera. After the shooting, we can get it to the TV station for free broadcast."

Gao Yuanyuan said in surprise, "It's only been ten minutes? It doesn't seem to be useful if it's broadcast, right?"

Director Zhao smiled and nodded at her, "You should contact the piano manufacturers of major brands now and ask them for advertising sponsorship fees. If it is less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, they will reject it directly."

"With my book, Ah Xing and Li Lizhen will help you make guest appearances for free. The advertising sponsorship fees collected from this micro-film will be your reward for making the film."

"In this short film, it's not just the piano that can ask for sponsorship money! In this regard, you can ask Mei Xiaoqing from ATV, she is the best at soliciting sponsorship."

Since the beginning of "Meteor Garden", the producer Mei Xiaoqing has been the favorite TV producer of various high-end luxury brands and luxury car groups.

Not to mention micro-movies, commercials that last for tens of seconds and one or two minutes, as long as they are well shot and so exciting that the audience can remember and praise them, there will be no shortage of investors to spend money on.

Gao Yuanyuan is numb again, can it still be like this?

For 20 days in August, Zhou Xingxing and Liu Zhenwei taught her how to be a normal director, and they never kept secrets, but...

Pulling the film from the dv digital camera and looking for Mei Xiaoqing to ask for money from various production manufacturers? I feel like I am learning.

Zhao Donghuai came up with another script, titled (The Crowd). In fact, the core is still the 2012 version of the island country (The Method of Stealing the Key). It directly uses the original Hong Kong version of the key-stealing plot. This film not only has a box office after its release

It’s good, it has a strong reputation, and it has won a lot of awards at various film festivals.

It has been remade one after another in South Korea and the Mainland, and the reviews have been very positive.

Even though the mainland remake (with huge crowds) received poor reviews, it still took in a box office of 486 million yuan after its release.

"After you finish filming (the sound engineer of the film version), take a break and return to the crew of King Kong to continue studying. After the Spring Festival, you can start working on this big movie in 1996."

"Whether it's about winning awards or making money at the box office, this movie (The Crowd) will most likely be very strong. As long as you can make it to the eight-point standard I estimate, you will enter the battle of fame in the director world."

Xiao Gao hasn't read the script yet, but she is still very moved. After all, she was only 17 years old in 1996, and the big boss was so kind to her that she didn't know how to repay her gratitude.

From a child star whose acting skills often hindered the crew to a big director? If the transformation can be successful next year, it will be too...

………………

Time flies, the Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 9th.

When the (King Kong) crew re-shot a scene on the cruise ship, Zhao Donghuai officially announced that the crew was finished filming.

Cruise ships also turned around and sailed directly to Shanghai.

Since the official start of filming on April 10, after six months of travel, the big movie has been completed, and the rest will be left to the special effects base to slowly finish.

Originally, we planned to have a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we can finish filming the completed scenes in a few hours, so there is no need to leave it until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

At the closing banquet, many people drank too much.

In other words, Zhao Donghuai could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The next day, the sun shone brightly. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the presidential suite. He looked at the ever-changing street scene outside the window with a leisurely and relaxed attitude, rather than the rush of work during the work period.

The river scenery and so on are full of emotion.

Huazhi flagship store is not far from the Oriental Pearl Tower.

As early as 1990, when Pudong was being developed, Huazhi Group was invited to develop real estate, commercial communities and other development projects. The flagship store, a five-star hotel with more than 30 floors, was also built in 1994 and put into commercial use.

Several Huazhi real estate communities have been built nearby, whether they are in the style of high-end luxury villas with single floors, or similar to the Huayuan in Hong Kong Island, with one to ten phases, they are all available.

Just like the Binjiang Community in the Future (Thirty Only), it is built to the same standard as in the TV series, but the name of the community has been changed, called Sanjiu Shuyuan Series.
