Chapter 247 247: Chinese-language movies usher in a new era, Sissi 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 her computer and found the article Xu Ning was talking about. She read it carefully and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"There are many talented people among fans..." After thinking for a while, she said excitedly, "The seventh generation of leading directors... what do you think of this statement?"

Xu Ning sat on the sofa, looking at the blazing sun and the densely planted park outside the window, and said with a smile:

"I think the word "leader" is quite good, but, speaking of the seventh generation leader, it always feels a bit weird..."

Xu Xiuyan nodded: "I think so too."

He stood up, faced the floor-to-ceiling window, 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 being led... There is no one, I feel as lonely as the sun in the sky."

"Hahaha, this metaphor is quite appropriate. There is currently no new generation director who can compare with you. This title is indeed a bit vain..."

"Furthermore, it sounds like the seventh generation will be suppressed by the fifth and sixth generations. Moreover, the fifth and sixth generations are both academics and graduated from Nortel. Can they recognize me as a halfway monk?"

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

Xu Xiuyan knew a lot about this aspect and talked eloquently. Xu Ning also agreed with these words, sat down and said:

"Lao Feng mentioned this to me last time he was drinking. He said that he got rich late and only started making movies in the mid-1990s.

"But Zhang Yimou won the Golden Bear Award for "Red Sorghum" in 1987... His classmate Chen Kaige and others also won various international awards...

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

Xu Xiuyan nodded.

Turning off the news and clicking on another article about box office, she said: "These things are all false names. As long as you can make a movie with a box office of over 100 million, brother, you will be the most powerful in the eyes of the audience..."

Actually, Xu Ning doesn't care much about winning awards. What era are we in now... are you still making movies in the traditional way?

Making movies with the goal of international awards seems to be a distinct label of fifth-generation directors, and most of their early works fell into this category.

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

As for those serious art films, I can’t say they are not good to watch, I can only say that most people don’t like to watch them.

After all, we live in such a stressful era, and everyone has various burdens on them. The main purpose is to go to a movie and relax.

Audiences like to watch movies that make them happy, rather than high-quality literary films that can make them feel heavy.

Later, these great directors finally realized that after earning enough fame, they had to focus on money, so they collectively turned to commercial entertainment films.

Movies such as "Hero", "A City of Golden Armor", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Big Shot", and "Mobile Phone" were all produced during this period.

"Sister, we don't need to worry 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 goes..."

Also not acknowledging that he is the seventh generation, there is Xu Ning's loyal little brother Ning Hao, who doesn't care about this false name.

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

July 9.

Due to the comprehensive holiday for all university, middle and primary school students, the number of moviegoers has increased sharply, and the box office of "Assembly" has reached a new height.

The single-day box office was 21 million.

On July 10, although it was a bit lower, it still had 19 million, beating all domestic movies in the same period.

July 11, 15 million.

July 12, 10 million.

July 13, 7 million.

Thirteen days have passed, and the total box office has reached 142 million. This figure is very good, but it is still 118 million short of the 260 million box office of the previous life "Assembly".

There are only 17 days left until the release date.

Can it break through the 2.6 number?

A bit dangerous!

At present, the single-day box office has been declining, and the film schedule and attendance rate have begun to decline. It is estimated that whether it can eventually break through 200 million is a question.

But even if it is less than 200 million, even if it is only 150 million, it will shock many people, especially the director circle.

As the old saying goes, fellow travelers are enemies.

You, a new director, can earn 150 million at the box office with just a few movies. Where do you want other people to put their old faces?

What will follow will definitely be unprovoked attacks on his movie, which Xu Ning has already anticipated.

On July 15, amidst the carnival of fans, "Assembly Number" broke through the 150 million mark, and countless die-hard fans rushed to tell the news on major forums and blogs.

At the same time, many people cannot understand the behavior of fans.

If your idol makes a lot of money from making movies, what does that have to do with you?

In response to this, fans just replied: You don’t understand the joy of chasing stars. The better the idol is, the more face we have!

…

In the midst of the harmonious sound, 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 spray, so he started talking nonsense. Before Xu Ning could reply, the fans rushed him.

Since the movie was released, when asked by the media about Xu Ning's movie, no one in the industry, whether they know him or not, said no.

There are no other reasons. One is that I really admire Xu Ning's talent, and the other is that I am wary of Xu Ning's financial resources and connections.

The unknown director who is now standing up to criticize him does not have any outstanding works, but later someone broke the news that this person was instigated by others.

The finger is pointed directly at a certain director named Chen.

Xu Ning didn't believe it when one or two people said it, but more people said it, which made him a little suspicious, so he asked someone to inquire.

Finally, through the relationship with the CCTV boss, he actually asked some questions. The unknown director was really instigated by others to criticize him.

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

Xu Ning is not a soft persimmon.

Now that we know this, we must fight back.

He immediately used Principal Zhou's relationship with the person behind it. When Principal Zhou called him and only gave his name, the person repeatedly promised to apologize immediately.

Is that all it takes to apologize?

Gotta pay!

Principal Zhou is at the department level, and the relationship behind it is even more difficult to imagine. Making him a little director is as easy as playing games.

Xu Ning and Principal Zhou have known each other for several years, and they often move around. Moreover, his daughter is still his biggest fan... With a good daughter to help Xu Ning every day, ordinary things can be easily done.

the next day.

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

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

They reviewed "Assembly" from a professional perspective, and finally came to the conclusion that Director Xu's acting, music, and directing skills are very high.

for a time,

People inside and outside the industry have been blown away by Xu Ning's reports, and the happiest people are none other than his group of fans.

One thing many people must do when they wake up every day is to search for news reports about Xu Ning online.

Some people in the circle had their eyes turned red and their teeth were very sore:

"Damn it, why is this guy so handsome and so powerful... Well, since you can't beat him, let's join him."

With this mentality, many people in the industry began to find ways to make friends with Xu Ning, some through acquaintances, and some through business performances and drama appointments.

As a representative of Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, Fang Long also sent him an invitation, saying that he would bring several people from Xiangjiang to the capital to treat him to dinner in August.

"Brother Long, if you come to the capital, I will definitely treat you to dinner. I have to fulfill my friendship as a landlord." Xu Ning said with a smile.

Fang Long shook his head repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "That's no good, I have to come. This is to celebrate the success of your new movie. I, the big brother, should be there to set the table."

At the same time, Andy, Sing Yee, Jay Lun, and Cai Yinong all sent congratulatory messages. Many people who have a good relationship with him want to cooperate with him again.

Cai Yinong also mentioned the shooting plan of "Sword II and Sword III" on the phone and asked if he had any schedule...

After all, Xu Ning's current celebrity status is different from before. Cai Yinong is worried that he will not accept any more TV series, but will develop into higher-end movies.

Xu Ning did not refuse.

I just said that if there is a schedule, I will consider it.

In the Beijing circle, he has been having banquets in the past few days. Big bosses from the main station and CCTV, a group of people from Huayi, a group of fifth-generation directors, and young guys like Huang Bo... Xu Ning is there every day.

Entertainment.
