Seeing that he was thinking about Qi Lei, he didn't rush him.
He walked around from behind the table and started boiling water to make tea.
After a pot of water boiled, Xu Xin asked:
"Gold", this Ning Hao is suitable for "Partners"... If you want to make this film, you have to find three reliable actors.
The director doesn't need too many ideas. For a biographical film like his, the director is required to follow the thinking of the script, not to be too deviant, and not to deviate from the story line. It doesn't matter about the movie "Youth". If you find a director who can make the movie look good, you can just put the investment plan on the table.
Xu Xin shrugged, this is my opinion, but Qi Lei was stunned, what do you mean? What do you mean? Xu Xin was a little confused, but Qi Lei was even more confused. If you don't want to take pictures, why should I? What if I have a Sunspot next year? It’s not what I meant. It’s because you don’t plan to film these three scripts. Didn’t you choose them? No plans.
Xu Xin looked at him with a taken-for-granted look, "Brother, you can't hang out with me alone, can you?" I chose this film because I thought it had enough story and wasn't trash.
If you want to film the script, just ask the director to film it. What does it have to do with me?
Qi Lei looks so fierce. I thought you chose these three scripts with the intention of me filming all three. I'm crazy.
Xu Xin quickly shook his head. I will return to China for a film festival in the next year.
I just talked with Yang Mi after that. I feel like I have been running outside every day this year, and I haven’t spent much time at home. My children are running away now. I still want to enjoy life.
I understand.
Qi Lei opened his mouth with determination in Xu Xin's words, and finally gave a wry smile. "Didn't you tell me earlier that you had brought the plan?" He turned to the first page. "Do you know what the budget for the initial research of "Partner" was in the factory?" ? I estimate that 25 million to 30 million is about the same.
Later, everyone thought that the money for your movie was too little, so they doubled it again. You had already said you wouldn't make it.
Hearing this, Xu Xin looked at the accumulation of bitter smiles and asked in confusion, why do I feel that you feel so guilty? Don't tell me, I'm really weak.
In front of Xu Xin. Qi Lei openly admitted that if you were to make these films, I would have a hundred confidence. But now that you say you won’t make them, my heart is beginning to worry. I cannot support the center alone. Get up, aren't other directors just for a living?
Xu Xin smiled and waved his hand, "I understand what you mean. Then you will follow the normal process for this script. After sending the script out, you will see which directors are interested and prepare a set of materials to submit for review. The director will be selected." I'm going to be a producer. Don't mention anything else. When the movie starts shooting, I will go to the crew every now and then to check on the quality of the shooting. Otherwise, I will have to keep spinning. I'm not crazy about how many movies I make in a year. Even Yang Mi Go crazy.
Qi Lei thought for a moment and nodded.
Okay, then this budget will be used as nothing. Are you sure these three scripts are okay? Well, no problem, the story is very strong. As long as the filming is not pretentious, even if you find a new person to film it, you can still get a passing score.
This kind of script is actually an industrial product. According to standards, the upper limit depends on the director, but the lower limit of the script itself is there.
It won't be bad. He waved his hand and gave Qi Lei a reassurance, okay, let these three be the plan for next year. Where is your Sunspot? What do you mean, let's talk about it next year. This year has been stressful enough, and I really don't want to think about these things anymore.
You have mercy on me and let me go. To be honest, I don't even think about dubbing or post-production.
I want to go on vacation directly, do you believe it? Really, for a matter of millions of dollars, why do you think I am risking my life? Although Qi Lei also knew that Xu Xin had two movies in a row this year, and was very busy with Venice and wedding photos, but looking at his messy appearance, he still felt a little dumbfounded, so he reminded him of the promotion of Hawthorn Tree Activity.
You haven't counted it yet, Brother Qi, look at me.
Seeing Xu Xin's eyes, Qi Lei tilted his head in confusion. What's wrong? Sometimes I think that a person’s eyes cannot be hidden. Do you understand? Qi Leixin said, do you want to knife me?
Not visible yet.
To be honest, Lian Shi Youyi stayed in Xi'an for three days in total.
After finalizing various details for 33 days, he returned to Yanjing.
On the day of returning home, Yanjing finally received its first real heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter. Different from the previous small fights of sleet and snow, when he got off the plane, there were only scattered snowflakes in the sky, but by the time he got home, the snowflakes were as big as goose feathers.
Seeing this, Xu Xin directly told Chenghu and Su Meng, "Don't go up there either. Mengmeng asks Brother Hu to take you home to rest."
This snowy eye looks quite big. According to the usual practice in previous years, after this snowfall, traffic was paralyzed for a long time at least. It was better to go home and lie down than anything else, waving his hands to signal the two of them to leave.
He pushed his suitcase directly home in the wind and snow. People in Yanjing especially love hotpot mutton in winter. After being together with my wife for so many years, her eating habits have changed a lot.
After returning home, I looked at the copper pot set up on the dining table and smelled the smell of fire, and my heart suddenly felt at ease.
Yang Mi, who heard the commotion and saw the snowflakes still hanging on his shoulders, hurried over and Mengmeng asked him to go back.
The snow outside suddenly became heavy, so I didn't let him come up.
While he was talking, Yang Mi had already helped him take off his coat, and while he was changing his shoes, he didn't hear the child's movement and asked in confusion, where is Nuannuan and Yangyang? My parents went downstairs to play in the snow. Maybe they are used to living in the Northeast. They have to go out when it snows. If they don't go out, they cry.
Come over and help me cut the meat. Yes, he responded and followed his wife into the kitchen.
On the chopping board, a piece of bright red mutton was placed there, and next to it was a basin of sesame sauce with floating oil, including chives, bean curd, and the like.
The people of Yanjing have a mysterious sense of ritual towards meat-shabu-shabu, but the meat they eat is really not that good. I may have to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
As soon as he picked up the kitchen knife, he heard his wife say that the cold air this time caused heavy snowfall in Liaoning, which was said to be very thick.
Director Wang just finished a phone call with me and said that the snow now meets the shooting conditions. The question is how long will he take to shoot? Xu Xin said, should the child follow? What do you say here? It’s stupid to leave on the 20th, but the date is the 21st.
I'll take it with you then. Okay, I'll find you when I come back from Wanwan.
Well, by the way, have Lao Xu and I finished talking about the four million investment in Traces of Japanese Pirates? I took a look at the script, what do you think? Very average.
Hearing this, Xu Xin, who had started cutting the meat, stopped and looked at his wife who was making sesame paste.
Very ordinary and stupid. To sum it up from the perspective of Internet articles, that is, the author is quite literary and young people are usually not lovable.
Yang Mi shrugged. His story was written in a particularly awkward way, completely subverting the inherent perception of kung fu movies. Isn't it the kind of kung fu that involves a tough bridge and a hard horse? No, it's just like saying that we both practice martial arts.
When we met, you were lying on the ground. It didn’t look very good, but it was indeed the real thing.
I can understand his idea of presenting everyone with a martial arts world that is assumed to be real. Maybe this is where Master is tempted, but this is a movie, right? Xu Xin followed his train of thought and gave an understanding that was consistent with his wife's without much thought.
Movies are not reality. They can be derived from reality, but they must also be higher than reality.
And the unsightly moves you mentioned may turn into a very unpleasant way to watch movies. This is not wrong. Yang Mi is not surprised by her husband's understanding, but feels that it is natural. , nodded, that’s what I meant, I really can’t imagine it.
You said it was like two masters fighting each other, one person touching the vagina and the other's legs.
If I were to watch it as a movie fan, it would be ridiculous. As for the overall story, it is particularly literary and artistic.
But Xu Xin said with a smile, just think about buying it for a thousand dollars, don't be too greedy.
Let’s not talk about the plot for now, let Xu figure it out on his own as to how to make this movie.
Mr. Xu wants to leave something real on the screen
In the curtain, this goal only needs to be achieved, not to mention the constellation, you need to be more tolerant. This is the truth.
But you really don't want to be unstable. I think this book should be smoother if it passes through your hands.
Hearing this, Xu Xin did not respond directly, but asked, do you think Lao Xu looks like him? Please Yang Mi nodded. When we were chatting, we started playing. We talked about how it happened. I said that if you don’t use tricks, it won’t look good even if it’s the real thing.
Movies are about the aesthetics and art of the lens, which is a bit of a waste of time.
Then he started popularizing science with me, why the core idea of the script is a dystopia, and why Jianghu is just a mysterious group created by those who practice martial arts, because they need the cover of their identity as Jianghu people to cover up the activities they do. , and what kind of warriors and bandits are involved.
He also talked to me about this.
Xu Xin smiled and said that from his point of view, there is actually nothing. He was created. In many cases, he was a kind of half-god, half-bandit interpersonal relationship and activity style imagined with reference to the bandit incident.
There is a big gap between him and the real martial arts in the Republic of China, but his martial arts roommate refers to opening a martial arts gym.
These people who work as bodyguards and private martial arts teachers are called martial arts, right? Yes, I admit that what he said makes sense, but it is not entirely correct. Let’s talk about it.
His ideas are actually very fixed. This concept runs through the script. Is this also the director's insistence? From the perspective of an actor-investor, you may not be able to understand it, but as a director, I can understand this persistence.
But this insistence is not necessarily right, nor is it necessarily wrong.
She shook her head again and gave her own point of view. Forget what I often tell you, the director should use his own perspective to interpret the script and film the story interpreted through his own perspective into images.
At this point, he suddenly froze. After about a few seconds, he stood up straight, feeling a little dazed.
He Huihui saw that he was thinking, and Yang Mi was in no hurry to speak until he heard a sentence, "Besides, you can help me."
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, help me figure out what the hell.
While cutting the mutton attentively, he said that at first glance, Lao Xu seemed to be a scholar rather than a five person, but in fact his personality was almost the same as that of the five people.
It's so cool. You have self-persistence. It's very difficult to change this kind of personality. The best way is to use favors. So if you don't mention it, I actually can't think of it.
He had a story that I was very interested in. He showed it to me at the beginning of the year and I thought the story was very colorful. I just had a rough idea of it in my mind.
After reading the plot, I thought I could try to change it. In order to prevent what you just mentioned from happening, it would be better to let him hit the wall first.
After hearing this, Yang Mi became interested in the martial arts theme of the Republic of China. Is it related to the Republic of China or something? I liked the story very much, but it had not been published by our media when he showed it to me. Adapted.
If you mention the matter to him now, it won't be a threat. Xu Xin shook his head. Let's wait until he finishes filming. I will mention Lao Xu's current thinking. I can understand it to a certain extent. That is, he has his own understanding of the things he is familiar with, and he is confident. What he understands is Correct, relying on other people's opinions is definitely not enough, it has to be tested by the market.
When the market does not accept it, he does not need others to tell him that there is something wrong with the path he is taking. I am afraid that his blind confidence will make him shut up and cherish himself before he is tested by the market.
At this time, I want to ask him, if he doesn’t give it to you if he takes Master’s adaptation, he will give it to me, so I won’t tell you.
Lao Xu is a very righteous person. He will not refuse to give when his friends ask him for it.
But I was afraid that he might have some problems in his heart. For example, if he wanted to film the master in his own way, and I told the story in my own way, she would have a grudge in her heart.
So the best way is to see the market's feedback on his ideas as a director, and after he understands that there is a problem with his ideas, we can communicate better at that time. We can't be hurt or happy because of a work, because the traffic police It's a disgrace to a good work, tsk tsk tsk, listen to what my husband said.
, the young woman who had been whipping sesame paste smashed her mouth, and sighed, "In terms of life, it must be you." Xu Sanjin.
Xu Xin rolled his eyes and called Dad Kerala.
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the security door opening and peeked out from the kitchen.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law appeared at the door pushing two strollers in the wind and snow. What did you ask me to shout just now? His wife's voice sounded behind him, and just by listening to him, one could imagine in his mind his demeanor of smiling but not smiling.
The corner of his mouth twitched and he gave up decisively, "It's okay, it's okay, you treat me like a **."
Puff puff hum.
The young woman smiled proudly. You must be wise, otherwise it will be a women's doubles today and I will stay at home for two more days.
Early in the morning on the 21st, he set off to Wanwan to film "The Green Hornet". It was originally planned to be released in December this year, but due to a collision with "Green Lantern", the release date was finally changed to January 14. It was the same day, but the promotion plan remained unchanged. As the first premiere region in Asia, when the film was first sent to the mainland for review, Wanwan had already passed the review.
And this party is actually a promotional window. Columbia Company leveraged Jay Chou's influence and invited many celebrities to participate in Wanwan.
Logically speaking, this kind of publicity is actually similar to a media premiere, both relying on influence.
To promote this film, Xu Xin originally thought that there would be a premiere after the party, or that it would be more normal to watch the movie first and then attend the party.
The original news that Jay Chou received was the same, but he didn't know why the premiere was canceled later, but the party invitation was still there. Xu Xin guessed that it had something to do with the movie's rescheduling.
After all, "Green Lantern" has always been very popular in the American cartoon industry. With "Iron Man" at the forefront, it saved Marvel's company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, "Green Lantern" and "Green Hornet", the top star in the DCE world, gave him Giving way is normal.
However, there seems to be no news on when "Green Lantern" will be released. With this doubt, he came to the exit of Taoyuan Airport.
After getting into Dani's car, the first thing I said was, when will Dani's "Green Lantern" be released? Next year in June, Botani's words instantly stunned him. Next year in June, 11 years in June. Oh, are you sure he was a little confused? Didn't he say that "Green Hornet" was changed because of "Green Lantern"? Didn't they conflict with "The Green Hornet"? That's what I said at first, but then I didn't know what happened.
After "The Green Hornet" was rescheduled, they also changed it, okay, is it because the post-production was not completed? Or is it for other reasons? Logically speaking, Hollywood movies usually have very specific release dates, and there are only a few reasons for temporary rescheduling. One is lack of confidence in one's own work.
Although he would not say this sentence, in his opinion, the script "Green Hornet" falls into this category.
It was originally scheduled to be released in December, but as soon as they heard that "Green Lantern" was about to be released, they immediately changed the schedule. Then it was postponed for a month, making it clear that they did not want to compete head-on with "Green Lantern".
The other is that the quality is worrying, but it is unlikely. Both "Batman" films in Japan were huge successes. The popularity of "Green Lantern" is not inferior to that of "Batman".
As the leader of the company, it is impossible for this ambitious work to compete with Marvel to avoid quality problems. It must be because the production was not completed as planned.
It's true that superhero movies require a lot of special effects technology. "The Green Hornet" is also a good thing, but the premise is big. "The Green Hornet", have you seen it? How is the quality? I haven't seen it.
Brother Xu, Columbia is very good. Even the dubbing of JAY's songs is only for dubbing clips. Brother JAY and I have not seen the other content of the film. So what do you think? It feels pretty good.
CA's fifth brother didn't even use a stand-in, he did all the actions himself, and there were a lot of explosion scenes and the like, which were huge.
Hearing this, Xu Xin stopped saying anything. What he wanted to ask about was his acting skills. After all, the wheel has always been a unit of performance for him. But hearing that he worked so hard, he thought it wouldn't be too bad.
In this way, Pani took him all the way to Jay Chou
He just bought the top floor of Heping Garden this year for more than 100 million. It is said that even the lobby is very grand. Unfortunately, he entered directly from the basement and could not see what the lobby of this building was.
The house was just renovated last month. After opening the door and entering, Xu Xin's first reaction was that it was empty.
The walls and floor tiles of the high-ceiling duplex structure lobby are made of marble, which does look luxurious, but the angles still make it feel too spacey.
Just as he was observing the structure of the room, Dani called out that Brother JAY and Brother Xu were here, and Guo Xuxin heard the sound of slippers and floor slapping upstairs.
It sounded from above his head, thunder was coming. Following his words, the Pomeranian mochi that Wang Sicong got for him two years ago also quickly jumped down from upstairs and circled around Xu Xin's feet. At the same time, his hair turned white from the room on the other side of the corridor. Ye Huimei also leaned out her strong body, Xu Xin smiled and said hello, aunt.
Elementary school student, I'm cooking for a while. I want to eat more. After hearing Ye Huimei's words, Xu Xin nodded, um, um, isn't the good secret coming? No, she is filming in Northeast China.
Oops, it's a pity that I specially prepared two chickens raised in the country for her this time. Remember to take them back and make soup for her to replenish her health.
Well, thank you, auntie. After agreeing again, Ye Huimei returned to the kitchen.
After Jay Chou came downstairs, he glanced at his shoulder and said, "I'm tired, come with me. Don't show me around."
Xu Xin pointed at this big house. I don't know what it is like. Don't worry about what I have to do. Please push him directly to the second floor. After going up to the second floor, there is a long corridor.
The total area is 1,100 square meters. Although there are room partitions, it does seem very empty. Do you see this? He pointed down the hallway, where blank glass frames stretched one after another.
Well, why should I put these away? If I bought them, I walked to the door of a room, Jay Chou waved, and after Xu Xin entered, he saw a pair of sizes.
Despite the colorful paintings, this house was conservatively estimated to be seventy or eighty square meters, but it was very empty.
This painting is the only decoration in the room. Why look at an empty room? Xu Xin asked puzzledly, "Jay Chou has always painted this painting. This is the room where I keep precious paintings, so I told my mother just now that we should have a group photo together."
Hanging on this wall, Xu Xin became more and more puzzled, what did he want to say? Then, next to Jay Chou's colorful painting, which is also the north-south wall of the bedroom, the size is about this big. The size he mentioned is the height of the wall. What on earth are you going to say?
Looking at Xu Xin's doubtful eyes, Jay Chou shrugged. I slapped Xu Xin on the shoulder and left it to you.
Xu Xin, leave something to me. Come on, I'll show you the clothes in a while. You can help me and my mother choose them, and then we'll see what you turn into. You can tell us what to draw and what to draw. Painting, if there are two of us, I will paint.
Yes, draw it for you.
Xu Xin, who gradually came to his senses, looked at him, then at the wall, then at him again, and two words came out of his mouth:
"Rely on the cup..."
