The camera only took a few glances at the beauty in red, but then returned to the Overlord of Western Chu played by Cheng Mu, laughing loudly, "Yu Ji."
This beauty in red is actually the famous Concubine Yu in history? !
He Zusheng, who was sitting in the first row below, felt like he was struck by lightning the moment he saw this beauty in red! He was an authoritative man, so he could naturally tell who the dancing woman was from her body posture, but what he never imagined was that Ye Yuxin was really so good that she could master such unparalleled acting skills. For this Tang Xiaoxiao? !
Maybe... this Miss Tang is a woman whose talent is not inferior to that of Ye Yuxin
The camera turned back to Liu Bang's tent again. Compared with Yu Ji's stunning appearance, Lu Fei, played by Ouyang **, was much more serious and dignified. She sat next to Liu Bang with a calm and strong expression.
"Damn it! I want to see Yu Ji! Come on, show us Yu Ji... Lu Pheasant didn't watch it at all." The audience in the audience whispered.
Ouyang **, who was sitting next to He Zusheng, was completely unaware that the more than 20 minutes of her role as the heroine in the movie had been completely stolen by the more than 20 seconds of Yu Ji's role.
Two heroes compete for hegemony. This is a war between men, and Lu Pheasant has become Liu Bang's think tank. Yu Ji is wearing armor, waving a long sword in her hand, and rushing towards the enemy camp with the figure of her overlord... The two Women also support their men in their own way.
In the portrayal of this section, Tang Xiaoxiao deliberately edited out most of his own shots, and some were just glimpses, but such a word made all the viewers feel it was precious.
Finally, we have arrived at the first scene of this movie, at the Hongmen Banquet, Liu Bang's surprise and gaffe when he first met Yu Ji, and then Yu Ji's flaming red clothes, with flying sleeves, a charming and charming scene. Dance, the Manchu soldiers were overwhelmed and even Liu Bang who was sitting there was overwhelmed, becoming one of the most classic dance scenes in the history of movies!
After the Hongmen Banquet, the Overlord of Western Chu let Liu Bang go on the basis of benevolence and righteousness, but in Liu Bang's heart, he also secretly planted the seeds of his obsession with Yu Ji.
The war broke out again, and the overlord of Western Chu was defeated. Above Gaixia, his ears were filled with the sound of mournful Chu songs. Lu Pheasant, who had always been a jealous and shrewd woman, sent someone to send Yu Ji a scroll of bamboo slips persuading her to surrender, urging her to submit to Liu Bang. Who knows how much sincerity and how much falsehood there is
At the desk of Overlord of Western Chu, Yu Ji finally saw the bamboo slips, but she smiled coldly and burned the bamboo slips with candlelight without any hesitation.
"I, Xiang Yu, have been defeated." The Overlord of Western Chu sighed helplessly, drank a bottle of clear wine, and sang the familiar song "Gaixia Song".
The stunning and decisive Yu Ji finally shed a tear from the corner of her eyes. For the first time in the whole movie, she put on a snow-colored dress. She held up a bottle of sake in both hands, toasted Xiang Yu and drank it together. She held a long sword in both hands. They danced to welcome the song, singing "He Gaixia Song" with a touch of sadness and fierceness, "...The king is exhausted, how can I live a life for this humble concubine?!"
After singing and dancing, Yu Ji drew her sword and killed herself. The red blood spurted out, dyeing her plain clothes red, just like the red dress she wore when they first met...
By this time the movie was playing, the audience was filled with sobs. Yu Ji had very few scenes and scenes, but every time she appeared, everyone could feel that this peerless beauty was not just a character in a movie, but a character in a movie. She is a living soul, a beauty who can arouse the emotional resonance of everyone!
At the end of the movie, the entire audience stood up and applauded like a thunderous wave, paying high respect to this outstanding Chinese film masterpiece!
Cao Hao and Tang Xiaoxiao looked at each other and couldn't help but smile proudly. When they heard such applause, their hanging hearts finally relaxed. As a filmmaker, being able to receive such applause at the premiere is already one of the compliments for their achievements. With this round of applause, the two directors also roughly know that tomorrow's film critics and media will not be too impressed. It’s ugly, and all that’s left is the box office.
The box office is the throat and lifeline of a movie, and it is also the best yardstick to prove a director's fame and strength. Maybe you may not have won a trophy, or maybe the movie you made will be criticized, but as long as there is a box office, there will be endless energy. Gaining the favor of investors, counting money is hard...
Don't talk about ridiculous dreams, how many film directors today still insist on making literary films that are well-received but not popular? In this circle, making money is the last word.
Tang Xiaoxiao and Cao Hao stood up and walked onto the stage again. Surrounded by the artists around them, they bowed deeply to those sitting in the audience. That charming smiling face actually appeared on that star-studded stage. It's so dazzling and bright.
The premiere of the movie ended here, the audience left one after another, and the remaining celebrities who were dressed up also got up and prepared to go to the hotel. After the premiere, there will be a celebration party for the movie in any hotel in Ang Chang. , regardless of whether they are the main creators of the movie or not, in addition to reporters, they will generally welcome insiders who come to support the movie.
After getting off the stage, Tang Muli took two steps forward and followed him again. Yu Lingye, who was sitting in the first row under the stage, also walked over and nodded slightly, "Are you going to the celebration banquet? Guogen It’s good for people in the crew to get together, at least they can broaden their network a little bit.”
"Well, even if you don't want to participate in such boring entertainment, you still have to go. You have to stay in the circle and be more spiritual." Tang Xiaoxiao agreed helplessly, "Are you going?"
Yu Lingye shrugged and said with a small smile, "If I go, I will be annoyed to death... Of course, when you step into my position one day, you don't need to participate in such unnecessary activities. It’s time to socialize.”
Tang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and snickered. Yu Lingye's words were not exaggerated at all.
"Okay, I won't tell you so much. I have to go back to the capital to deal with some things." Yu Lingye glanced at the time, his violet eyes lingering on Tang Xiaoxiao for a long time, and then reminded him seriously, "I wanted to tell you just now, but I forgot about it temporarily. I just remembered it when I was watching the movie. Recently, some foreign mercenaries and mysterious forces seem to be around Donghai City. It seems that there is some conspiracy. , be careful yourself."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded nonchalantly, "It's okay. I've been here for so many years. I guess no one will pay attention to me."
Mu Li, who was standing behind him, raised the corners of his lips slightly, folded his arms, and said elegantly and calmly, "Don't worry, Yu Lingye, I will follow her every step of the way. Remember, it's 'inch step'." Not leaving ‘oh…”
asshole!
If he could bite someone to death now, Yu Lingye would never let go of the young man in front of him who provoked him again and again! It was the first time that someone could make Yu Lingye, who was so reviled, so angry that he felt itching in his teeth. He really wanted to rush forward regardless of his grace and tear the smile on that handsome face to pieces...
This Mu Li is definitely, definitely no less than Long Yi's number one rival!
The moment their eyes met, the flames of war broke out, but Miss Tang, who was standing aside and had obviously low emotional intelligence, was completely unaware of this.
After sending Yu Lingye away, Cao Hao stepped forward and waved a golden sticker in his hand, "Xiaoxiao, you have received the three-day Dragon Boat Festival cruise on the high seas next week, right? Are you going? ?”
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't go. That girl Xiaohan has been clamoring for a holiday all day long, and the family of this high seas cruise has some friendship with me, so I'm embarrassed not to go."
"Okay, let's go together then?" Cao Hao invited.
Before Tang Xiaoxiao could say anything, Mu Li, who was standing aside, suddenly responded, "Okay, it just so happens that Xue Xiaohan doesn't have a dance partner yet."
"Smelly Muli, you're dead!" Xue Xiaohan, who was not far away, heard this with sharp ears and stamped her feet angrily, "Smelly boy, I won't let you do this, right?" In order to pester our **oss, you actually kicked me directly to Cao Hao like this
The high seas cruise is scheduled for next Friday night, just over a week away. In this short period of time, the headlines of major newspapers and the entertainment news headlines of major media have been completely covered by "Han Family" Occupied by overwhelming news, the industry king Lu Yanfan teamed up with powerful actors from several major circles such as Ouyang ** and Cheng Mu to jointly perform this gluttonous feast, which shocked the audience's attention!
However, among the many handsome men and beauties in the starring roles, the one that the audience talked about the most was the mysterious beauty who played the role of Yu Ji. She never took off the gauze on her face, only the spray of blood when she drew her sword and killed herself. The blood splashed on the veil, faintly revealing that stunning face, the singing was melodious and sonorous, and the dancing was graceful and graceful. Especially the moment when a fiery red dress came up from mid-air with water sleeves dancing, it seemed to have become the most beautiful thing on the Internet. One of the pictures.
Countless viewers and reporters kept asking the cast and crew who this beautiful lady in red is, but what they were left with were only mysterious smiles and three concise words, " Guess for yourself.”
This is Cao Hao's request. Although Tang Xiaoxiao is not opposed to leaking herself out, at least the stunt of playing Yu Ji in this movie must have some value, right? Therefore, in the first week, the crew did not announce who played Yu Ji, and even the names of Yu Ji and her actress were deliberately omitted from the back of the cast list, in order to make the movie's gimmick more meaningful. value.
The so-called publicity is not an overwhelming one or two days, but a continuous exposure and popularity. Obviously, both Tang Xiaoxiao and Cao Hao are well aware of this.
I'm afraid even Cao Hao and Tang Xiaoxiao themselves had no idea that when the movie's first week box office performance data was submitted, it shocked everyone's attention - in just one week, it was only in mainland China, not counting In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the box office has reached more than 26 million yuan!
When he saw this number, Cao Hao was dumbfounded on the spot, and then he almost lost his breath laughing. The first week's box office is just a starting point. Generally speaking, the second to third week's box office will reach a peak value. The box office returns to a stable value in the fourth week, and then enters the off-season around the seventh week. For example, if a movie has a good box office, the release cycle can even be extended to the end of the eighth week.
The box office since the first week has already reached a value of nearly 30 million, so it will definitely not be difficult to earn 300 to 400 million in about seven or eight weeks of release. The film investment this time was only about 100 million, so... Cao Hao made more than 200 million in less than two months!
With such a box office, with Cao Hao's qualifications and status over the years, he can definitely advance to the ranks of mainland China's top directors with this movie, and Tang Xiaoxiao can also use this movie to enter the status of a second-rate director.
Sitting in the office, looking at the data on his desk, Cao Hao smiled from ear to ear and almost went up to kiss the data sheet.
Tang Xiaoxiao sat leisurely on the sofa, sipping the fragrant Italian espresso hand-ground coffee, crossing her legs, "Director Cao, I am the person who makes the most money in this movie..."
"How do you say it?" Cao Hao was still holding the large list of data happily, without paying any attention to Tang Xiaoxiao's words.
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and arched her eyebrows, with a hint of cunning and a little pride on her face, "The top director in mainland China was just attracted by me. Such a big money tree, don't you think I don't make much? You make a lot of money." What I earn is just a small amount of money in front of me, and what I earn is long-term benefits..."
Cao Hao had a dark look on his face.
Tang Xiaoxiao put down the coffee cup in his hand, stood up again, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down at the prosperous and busy city, "Okay, Director Cao, the movie "Han Family" has passed. I guess it depends on this movie." Movie, you can win the trophy for the Best Director Award at the end of the year. I suggest you strike now while the iron is hot and quickly prepare the next movie. Of course, if the production cost exceeds tens of millions, you must show me the script and go through my review. approve."
Cao Hao nodded seriously, "You don't need to tell me, I've already planned it. I'm a little too tired to make this big-budget, big-budget movie. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have finished it in the first half of this year." I will never make another movie. Fortunately, you co-directed it, which finally relieved me a lot of burden. The next movie I plan to make is a low-cost, small-production movie, challenging a light comedy... "
"Oh?" Tang Xiaoxiao blinked and once again showed his eyes like a little fox, "Director Cao, are you interested in supporting a few newcomers?"
Cao Hao was speechless and waved his hand, "Tang Xiaoxiao, I heard that you are a girl who likes to praise newcomers, and has even made a name for herself as a few Tang girls. I am not as capable as you, so forget it."
Tang Xiaoxiao understood what Cao Hao meant. He didn't have the time to train newcomers, and naturally he didn't like to use them.
"Don't worry, he is a trainee trained by Xinghua Entertainment. His acting skills are... just okay. I won't hold you back." Tang Xiaoxiao persuaded again.
Due to Tang Xiaoxiao's kindness, Cao Hao finally relented and promised to give a few newcomers from Xinghua Entertainment a chance. Of course, all of them would be female supporting actors...
Cao Hao is preparing, and Tang Xiaoxiao is also preparing. The ugly Lan Xia, who was born as a cleaner, has had plastic surgery and is undergoing acting training. The time is almost up. She is just waiting for this high seas cruise to finish her vacation before she can start a new life. The filming of the TV series, the title of the new TV series - "Wu Zetian".
This is Tang Xiaoxiao's first TV series after returning to the mainland, and it will also be her last.
With Tang Xiaoxiao's current strength and status, making TV series is a waste of time and money. The price of selling a TV series to a TV station is only hundreds of thousands to millions per episode, and the cost of filming is too high. Obviously Directors who don't make money quickly by making movies will usually choose to shoot movies, and they rarely go to the trouble of shooting TV series. If it weren't for the purpose of stabilizing and proficient in her directing skills and cultivating more artists for the company as soon as possible, Tang Xiaoxiao would not have to go back to the TV drama industry in a thankless manner. To put it bluntly, after this experience of cooperating with Cao Hao, she Going to film a TV series now feels a bit self-indulgent.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you distracted again?" Cao Hao woke up Miss Tang, who was wandering in the world, and glanced at the time on the computer screen, "Okay, hurry up and pack some clothes. We will meet you at 5:30 in the evening." We will meet at the company and the trip to the high seas will take a little more than two days. You'd better prepare enough clothes. It's cold at night, so wear more clothes."
"Yeah." Tang Xiaoxiao finally came to her senses, rubbed her brows, and stretched her arms, "Okay, let Xiaohan follow you then. It's really not convenient for her to show up in front of some people."
At half past five in the evening, there was a black Bentley parked under the Qingyu Film and Television building. The driver was a middle-aged man. He was the personal driver of the Tang family's villa in Donghai City. He was rarely used. This time, Tang Xiaoxiao himself I was too lazy to drive, so I called him directly. His name was Li Zhi.
Cao Hao came down with his luggage and saw the black Bentley. He couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Xiaoxiao, the price of this car is not cheap. I didn't expect that you are really a rich little woman."
Tang Xiaoxiao shrugged, tugged at Mu Li's little face next to him, and then said with a smile, "Director Cao, this is not my own car, it is my family's car. I only use it temporarily. Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to spend money to buy such an expensive car and spend a lot of money to modify it."
"Modification? After buying a Bentley, you are still willing to modify it?" Cao Hao said sadly with a look of pain on his face.
Li Zhi, who was driving the car in front, chuckled and explained in a calm and steady manner, "Mr. Cao, this Bentley is specially customized from the manufacturer. The windows and steel plates are all bulletproof and have excellent safety performance. After some The modification can withstand large gun fire and long-distance sniper bullets. The speed can reach about 350 miles per hour, which completely eliminates the possibility of being assassinated with guns in the car. When this car was ordered, the conservative estimate was 900 It's about tens of thousands, and with the use of American security material technology, the value after modification is almost over 40 million."
"Isn't it? It's too exaggerated!" Cao Hao smacked his lips, "It actually went to the level of preventing assassination."
A proud smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, "Of course, compared to our eldest daughter, the money for modification is nothing."
Cao Hao turned his head to Tang Xiaoxiao and looked up and down at the familiar yet unfamiliar girl in front of him, "Xiaoxiao, what does your family do? Judging from this car alone, it seems to be quite rich? It can't be the case. Shanxi coal boss, right?"
Meeting Cao Hao's monster-looking expression, Tang Xiaoxiao touched her nose awkwardly, but couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the Shanxi coal boss said, "Our family does everything except dig coal... As for whether we have money, I I can only tell you that our family’s money exceeds your imagination. You should know the most famous Sir Alex Lee in Hong Kong? In the eyes of my father, the assets of the Li family are not enough. However, our family is relatively low-key. That’s all, you won’t even know my father’s name.”
Cao Hao swallowed, "Is it richer than the Li family in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, you will never dare to imagine that number in your life." Tang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips in amusement, "You and Xue Xiaohan will know after a while after me. Remember, no matter who you see, don't talk casually, and don't interrupt casually, No matter what secret things you hear, just let them rot in your stomach."
Cao Hao nodded dumbly.
At this point, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly turned his head, stretched out his little paws and pinched Mu Li's cheek, "You brat, I'll hold your arm in a moment, remember to ward off the flies for me, do you hear me?"
Mu Li rolled his eyes, but he knew very well, "I can't block it, let him block it."
Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at Cao Hao on the side, "Are you kidding me? Can Director Cao stop those young men?"
Mu Li turned his head proudly and pursed his lips, looking a little reluctant, "I'm talking about him."
"Him?!" Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he was probably talking about another Gefansen. That guy's skills were indeed much better than Mu Li's.
At this moment, Mu Li suddenly and quietly grabbed Tang Xiaoxiao's hand, as if he wanted to imprison her by his side for the rest of his life. In the dark carriage, there seemed to be a layer of shimmering light in those emerald eyes, which were covered with mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Tang Xiaoxiao, I really don’t want to sleep like a waste. I also want to protect you, but I don’t have the ability...
Hate, I hate so much, I hate why I was so willful, I hate why I was so childish, I hate why I was so weak, I hate why I didn’t grit my teeth and accept those inhuman trainings, if I could grit my teeth and persevere, if I could be brave again Be stronger. Maybe the final winner of the survival of the fittest will be me. Maybe I won't become that merged personality. Maybe I can stand behind you so upright and tell you, "It's okay, I have everything"...
Xiaoxiao, I really want to accompany you through this life. I don’t want to be the one who disappears. I don’t want to leave with such regret in this life. I like you. I really, really like you. That’s the difference between a man and a woman. Like is love...
When you smile in front of Yu Lingye, Long Yi, and Lin Junhan, why don't you look back at me and give me an equal smile
As if she felt the change in Mu Li in an instant, Tang Xiaoxiao remained silent and gently held Mu Li's hand with her backhand. She didn't know what was going on, but her heart seemed faintly sad, as if something was going to happen and she was going to lose something. Important stuff…
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Two chapters in one, I’m too lazy to bother, wow, I’m a good person...
The event that has been brewing for a long time is finally here. You can probably guess it, the cruise ship on the high seas... I don't know if I can write down the feeling.
