prodigal director

Chapter 189 The box office is stable

An hour and a half later, Hao Huan finished watching "Mr. Zombie" on the system interface.

He thought it was a horror movie, but he didn't expect it to be like "Returning Soul Night", it also incorporates comedy elements, but it's not as funny as "Returning Soul Night".

But in this way, the movie classification is not too niche!

When the film is finished and well-produced, it is still possible to get a good box office like "Returning Soul Night" after it is released.

Of course, Wang Lexin had to have this ability in the early stage!
And the dubbing of this movie is really great. The scary atmosphere is basically conveyed by the dubbing.

Compared with the previous horror films made by Hao Huan, the dubbing of this "Mr. Zombie" is indeed worth learning by Hao Huan!
So, he had the experience of on-set action guidance and film dubbing experience.

Both of these experiences require spending money!
The prodigal value of 100 per second cost Hao Huan tens of millions!

Therefore, Hao Huan understood a truth, movies that seem cheap when unlocked are not really cheap!

Unless you don't want to spend prodigal points to experience this kind of experience, once you experience it, you have to be prepared to be slaughtered by the system for tens of millions of prodigal points.

After experiencing the action guidance of "Mr. Zombie" and the live dubbing of the movie.

Hao Huan woke up from lunch break.

He turned on the computer and just did it, watching the movie while writing the script.

If Wang Lexin were to make this movie, it would definitely not be able to produce the taste of the original.

But it's not that Wang Lexin's director level is not good, but this movie needs an excellent action director!
So, Hao Huan decided.

He will act as the action guide and cooperate with Wang Lexin to shoot this "Mr. Zombie"!

This time it was cheaper for her!

I, Hao Huan, are also the top ten directors in the world's director list, with a total box office ranking of [-]!He is also the number one director in China!

In the end, he acted as an action guide for her?

When Hao Huan said this, he felt that his price had dropped!

But seeing that all the money Wang Lexin made from making movies went into her own pocket, Hao Huan didn't care about her so much.

Just treat it as a good cabbage and let it be kicked by Wang Lexin, it's not a loss anyway.

two months.

Should be able to finish this movie!

After all, it is not a big production movie. Compared with "Saw", the difficulty and progress of shooting should be similar.

It took him an afternoon to write out the movie script of "Mr. Zombie", and then watched the movie several times, repeatedly revised and perfected it, and finally finalized the script at noon the next day.

"Wang Lexin!"

In the office, Hao cheered.

Wang Lexin walked in quickly and asked expectantly, "Boss? Is the script finished?"

Hao Huan said wearily: "Why are you so excited and looking forward to it! Go make me a cup of coffee first and come in!"

"Yes!"

Knowing that she guessed right, Wang Lexin hurriedly made coffee and brought it in.

Hao Huan drank coffee and said: "Squeeze your shoulders and neck for me. I'm exhausted from trying to catch up on the script for you to make the movie!"

"Oh……"

It was the first time Wang Lexin was ordered by Hao Huan to do this kind of thing. She hadn't given a massage or pinched her shoulders yet!
I saw her unnatural little hands squeezing Hao Huan's shoulders, and I didn't know whether she was using too little force or too much force.

Then knocked and rubbed a few times, seeing that Hao Huan didn't mean to reprimand, so she let herself go!
"Take it easy! You want to beat me to death!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin stuck out her tongue, and then asked: "Boss, is the script finished?"

"Ah."

Hao Huan stretched his neck, and Wang Lexin stretched out his hand to pinch his neck knowingly, and found that this posture seemed wrong...

So she quickly retracted her claws and gently rubbed and tapped on the back of Hao Huan's neck.

Hao Huan said: "The leading actor can find Huang Hao this time, this old shameless guy was just asking if he planned to make a new movie some time ago, the starring role in "Inception" is not suitable for him, this time The new movie is quite in line with his image."

Standing behind him, Wang Lexin patted Hao Huan's shoulder and asked, "What is the theme of the new movie?"

"It's about the same as "Returning Soul Night"!"

Hao Huan said seriously: "If you film it well, you might be able to surpass the box office of "Return to the Soul Night"!"

"Really?"

Wang Lexin got excited and punched Hao Huan so hard that it hurt!
He stretched out his hand to grab Wang Lexin's fist, and said coldly: "I just asked you if that fist was intentional!"

Wang Lexin broke free and said nervously: "No! No! I accidentally..."

"Heh, deny three times in a row! I think you have wanted to punch me a long time ago, so now that you have the opportunity, give me a punch first, right?"

"No……"

Wang Lexin yelled in her heart, there really isn't one!Isn't this excited, conditioned reflex...

Hao Huan didn't bother to lecture her anymore and said, "I have already prepared a list of starring roles. Now that we have determined the leading actors, you can start arranging the filming preparations!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin didn't give Hao Huan a massage after she stopped.

Holding his coffee, Hao Huan got up and said, "You can read the script here first, then we can talk about it."

"it is good……"

Wang Lexin sat down, moved the mouse, and switched to another open file.

Mr. Zombie?

This...is this a zombie movie?
Just thinking about it, Wang Lexin felt panicked!

Zombie movie, this should be a horror movie, right?How could this kind of movie have a chance to surpass the box office of "Returning Soul Night"?

Although "Returning Soul Night" is a ghost film, it looks a bit scary, but the point is that after incorporating comedy elements, it doesn't feel scary when you watch it!

But Hao Huan said that this movie is similar to "Return to Soul Night", so it should also incorporate comedy elements, right?

She looked down and realized that the movie "Mr. Zombie" didn't have as many laughs as "The Night of the Dead". Strictly speaking, it felt more like a pure horror movie.

She began to worry about Hao Huan who was sitting on the coffee table and sofa, drinking coffee and looking at his mobile phone: "Boss, this seems to be different from "Returning Soul Night", right? There are not many comedy elements, but more horror elements. Wouldn't it fail to pass the trial?"

"will not!"

Hao Huan said: "Next, if you shoot according to what I said, you won't have such thoughts! In addition, I will be the action director of this movie, and I will supervise your directing process by the way! You'd better pray when the time comes I didn't have any problems when I was filming, otherwise you just punched me, and you would know what a hundred causes will bear fruit!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin felt that she was going to be unlucky again, because compared to Hao Huan, even if there was no problem in the shooting process, Hao Huan could still pick out countless problems!

I am so hard...

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wanted to make a new movie. Wouldn't it be nice to just sit back and wait comfortably for the annual vacation?

You have to die!

As a result, he is definitely dead now!

She continued to read the script, and after finishing reading the script, she immediately called Huang Hao and the other leading actors according to Hao Huan's arrangement.

But it was too urgent at this time. Except for Huang Hao, who has no filming right now and can only wait for Hao Huan's movie, two of the other leading actors couldn't find the time or postpone the schedule to come and shoot.

Wang Lexin reported, Hao Huan suddenly remembered two actors, and said: "You can contact Shi Yuang and Zhan Yihao, their acting skills are not bad, and these two roles are also suitable for them, but they are not tepid. attraction."

"Shi Yuang is okay. After "Saw 1" was broadcast, he took over two film and television dramas, but they were both of low quality, so it was a bit of a waste of what "Saw" brought him. Go for the popularity.

As for Zhan Yihao, the role of the security guard in "Returning Soul Night" is quite funny, but unfortunately he is not the leading actor, so he is not doing well now. "

Wang Lexin said, looking for the address book and contacted Shi Yuang and Zhan Yihao.

When they heard Wang Lexin's invitation, both of them agreed without saying a word.

Starring!
A fool would not agree!

Moreover, Wang Lexin represents Hao Huan, and making a movie about Wang Lexin means making a movie about Hao Huan!
Think about how many big stars find it so difficult to have their movies filmed!So as soon as they received Wang Lexin's invitation, they agreed directly without caring about Sanqi 21.

Even if there are other movies to be made now, they don't care!Anyway, it's not the leading role, so it won't pay much for breach of contract.

Thus, the starring lineup of "Mr. Zombie" was finalized, Wang Lexin followed Hao Huan's instructions and began to prepare for the filming of "Mr. Zombie".

The time will soon come to January 1st.

"Painted Skin" is about to premiere!
Prior to this, the pre-sale box office of "Painted Skin" had already received 1.86 million yuan, so it is no problem to have a box office of [-] million yuan on the day of its release.

If the subsequent box office breaks out steadily, then there is really a chance to get 30 billion box office as Hao Huan said!

And Wang Lexin now only hopes that the box office can hit a new high!
Therefore, she only needs to get 20 billion yuan at the box office, and she will be satisfied!

……

Riverside district.

In Hao Huan's river view room.

"Don't move, it'll be fine soon!"

Wang Lexin was doing makeup for Hao Huan, and they were going to watch the premiere of "Painted Skin" later, so in order not to wear a mask to hide it, Hao Huan decided to ask Wang Lexin, who had studied makeup techniques with Sister Mei for a few days, to do it for him. Do your makeup.

At this time, Wang Lexin was nervously and focused on putting on makeup for Hao Huan. First, he darkened his skin tone, then put on a fake beard, put a mole or two on his face, and thinned his eyebrows...

After a while.

Looking at his masterpiece, Wang Lexin carefully held up the mirror and asked, "Boss, is this okay?"

Hao Huan looked at himself in the mirror who was almost black, shook his head speechlessly and said, "Forget it, let it be like this! I think you just want to get revenge on me, so you deliberately turned so ugly!"

"No..." Wang Lexin explained.

Hao Huan snorted: "You turned such a handsome person into a big ugly by you! But you didn't turn yourself so black and ugly, how dare you say no?"

Wang Lexin said tiredly: "You told me not to turn into a pretty boy!"

Hao Huan said speechlessly: "But I didn't ask you to make it so dark! You can see for yourself the difference in skin color between my neck and my face!"

"puff……"

Hao Huan didn't say anything, and Wang Lexin didn't even notice the funny side. Then she quickly stopped her smile and said, "Then... shall I blacken your neck?"

"Wipe your sister! Forget it, your sister is innocent, this time I admit it, and next time you turn into such a bad person, I will turn you into a pig's head, and see if you dare to go out and meet people!"

Hao Huan walked back to the room and took a scarf to cover his neck, so that others could not see the obvious difference between his neck and the skin color of his face.

Wang Lexin looked at Hao Huan walking out and said, "Wow! It really looks unrecognizable like this! In the future, you won't be afraid of being recognized when flying or anything!"

"idiot!"

Hao Huan scolded her again: "When the time comes, will the ticket and identity check be passed like this!"

"All right……"

I was really stupid this time.

Wang Lexin put away her makeup box, ready to go out with Hao Huan to watch the premiere of "Painted Skin".

On the road.

Hao Huan was driving the car, seeing that the atmosphere was quiet and a bit awkward, Wang Lexin said suddenly, "Boss, the box office increase of "Lost Delta" today is only 43 yuan. Many theaters have already withdrawn their shelves. The increase is less than 1000 million yuan, so the domestic box office can only end at 61 billion yuan."

"Yeah." Hao Huan responded lightly.

Wang Lexin thought for a while, and then said: "Foreign box office is not increasing much now. If it is released in a few days, the global box office should end at 134 billion yuan."

It has been released for nearly two months, and it is indeed amazing to have such a box office!

Hao Huan's original wish was to break through 100 billion in the global box office, and now it has exceeded 130 billion. To him, it's like picking up 30 billion for nothing.

And the 30 billion box office, in fact, is that the domestic box office has greatly exceeded his expectations. He originally thought that it would be good to have a domestic box office of 40 billion. The global box office has a chance to exceed 100 billion. Now it proves that his idea is right. Yes, if the domestic box office is only 30 billion yuan, then the global box office of "Lost Delta" can just reach 100 billion yuan.

And this unexpected surprise fully demonstrates that there is still a market for suspense and thriller movies in China, but many viewers are too lazy to watch them once they see the category of thriller and horror.

So when "Horror Cruise" was renamed "Lost Delta", and the pseudo-classification of sci-fi was added, this niche movie suddenly became popular in an instant.

Since the movie itself is not particularly scary, the audience will not worry about the classification issue after watching the movie, but will criticize it and maliciously write negative reviews.

"134 billion, this is not too hot! When "Inception" comes out, this record will be broken! And the record of "Infernal Affairs" in China, if nothing else, will also be "Inception" replaced!"

Seeing Hao Huan's confidence, Wang Lexin couldn't help asking: "Is this movie so exciting?"

"Wonderful?"

Hao Huan smiled: "You should use shock to describe it! This will be a movie with a shocking plot, shocking special effects, and shocking dubbing!"

After being told by Hao Huan, Wang Lexin was looking forward to start filming "Inception" soon!

But when she thought that Hao Huan had spent nearly two months just preparing for the filming, she didn't think that Hao Huan was bragging.

Because Hao Huan must be confident, that's why he spent so much time preparing. Otherwise, according to the previous efficiency, he would have started shooting directly!
Arrive at the theater.

Hao Huan and Wang Lexin walked in side by side, not to mention, after changing their makeup, they walked in so boldly that no one in the audience could recognize them!
Sure enough, it is useful to let this stupid pig learn makeup from the beautiful sister!
In the future, you won’t have to worry about being recognized and being watched and photographed by a group of people when you go out.

……

more than an hour later.

Seeing that "Painted Skin" was playing to the end, the ending song "Painting Heart" sung by Liu Yuxi echoed in the theater with the scene of the ending.

The ethereal singing conveys the entanglement, sadness, and weirdness in the film vividly!

When the audience saw the end, they had mixed feelings in their hearts, because the view of love conveyed in the movie reflected the love in reality very well.

For example, Wang Sheng's entanglement and derailment, for example, the fox demon Xiaowei who does everything for love, which makes people hate and feel distressed, and Pei Rong, who sacrificed her life for love.

Liu Yuxi played Xiao Wei in the movie, and her acting skills have once again improved and improved.

Hao Huan actually doesn't like the role of Xiao Wei.Because she killed people like hemp, deliberately seduced others, took out their hearts, and made a pitiful gesture, but Xiao Wei, played by Liu Yuxi, gave him a feeling of distress when he looked at it.

Because she is a poor demon, evil is the nature of a demon like her, but simplicity is also her nature.So Wang Sheng rescued her, she tilted her head and gave Wang Sheng a look, and she was lost forever.

Just because she fell in love with Wang Sheng, she wanted to possess Wang Sheng like an animal, destroy Wang Sheng's marriage, and frame his wife.Because she is a demon and can't express love, her animal thinking doesn't have the same view of love as normal humans, so she feels that love is to be obtained, even if it is by any means.

But Wang Sheng didn't love her, or Wang Sheng didn't want to love her, so when Wang Sheng stuck the knife in her heart, she first tilted her head, as she did when she first met him, her face full of suspicion I don't know why she loves Wang Sheng so much, and Wang Sheng also said that he loves her, but in the end he still hurts her.

In her life, she has never had any other emotions other than loving Wang Sheng!

However, her love for Wang Sheng completely failed, shattered, and finally became nothing.

In the whole movie, the four words "can't love it" are the most empathetic and mixed feelings for the audience.

So with the sad love song "Painting Heart", the audience's emotions were all lifted.

This is not a love movie, but a tragic movie!

Some viewers felt uncomfortable.

The category reads "Love". I thought it was a sweet movie, but in the end, I couldn't taste any sweetness. Instead, the more I watched it, the more distressed I was, and I wanted to cry.

"gone."

After watching the movie, Hao Huan didn't watch the end credits anymore, he had watched it anyway.

Although Wang Lexin felt a little complicated after watching the movie, she made the movie and she knew the plot by heart, so after watching the premiere, her mood didn't change much.

Unlike other female viewers, some of them cried watching it, as if they had experienced this kind of love, experienced a scumbag cheating on them.

After walking out of the theater, Hao Huan praised Wang Lexin: "The film was shot very well, and the box office is stable."

Wang Lexin's expression brightened!
stable?

In other words, has the box office of 30 billion been stabilized?

She was so excited!
To get Hao Huan's approval and praise is even more difficult than reaching the sky!
