I want to die every day [entertainment circle]

In order to arrive in Australia before Claudio's festival, Xiyan did not attend the premiere of "Soul Eater", neither in North America nor in Europe, but these two big markets were released at the same time, and Bian Jiang alone provoked the lead It was almost exhausting. If Tulan and Luanna hadn't seen so many worlds and played a major supporting role, he would definitely not be able to cope.

The producers and distributors have been staring at the data on the first day of the screening. After all, if they can make a splash in such a picky competition like Cannes, the foreign box office results should not be bad, right? Director's works, at least don't lose money!

Obviously, this time God fulfilled their wish. "Soul Eater" performed unexpectedly well. When the real-time box office ended at 23:59 that day, it caught up to half of Zhang Anguo's "Cang Dog" weekly box office.

More and more media and film critics are comparing Zhang Anguo and Xi Yan. Judging from this trend, it is safe for "Soul Eater" to surpass "Canggou" at the foreign box office, and the same is true in terms of word of mouth. On the representative Douban score, the former reaches 4.6, but the latter only 2.9. Even director Fang Chubing's "Original Sin" and "Angel's Wings", which shined at the Golden Rose Awards, both scored more than 4, but Zhang Anguo did not. .

There are more and more people criticizing Zhang Anguo. Why are his films not doing well abroad, but not well-received domestically?National directors should have accumulated a strong mass base, but they have been surpassed by so many directors without knowing it?

Many people feel that the current literary and art industry really needs to call for cultural innovation, and they will fall into the dilemma of working behind closed doors and standing still.Recently, domestic films have been mired in the quagmire of being criticized by bad reviews. If there is no refreshing thing to come out to rescue, the general environment may continue to deteriorate.

Of course, there are also many people who support Zhang Anguo. Even if Zhang Anguo is not outstanding in other aspects and has a poor reputation, the key is to have money. People can count the money at the domestic box office alone.Looking at Xiyan again, what's the use of having good grades abroad, a bureau hasn't allowed "Soul Eater" to be screened in mainland China, what's so embarrassing!

Unfortunately, this group of people was slapped in the face again.A week later, "Soul Eater" achieved amazing first-week box office results, unstoppably ranking among the top box office charts in many countries, and even topped the box office charts in France and Germany, fourth in North America, and third in the UK.It was on the seventh day that a bureau suddenly became enlightened and passed the review.

When he received the notification, Bian Jiang slapped the producer on the shoulder vigorously, laughed three times, kicked the chair in front of him, and punched him on the spot, making Tulan think he was having a convulsion.

Although the two more explicit scenes of Su Yi and Fang Bei in the film were cut out, they passed anyway. Passing is a victory!

Domestic movie fans have long been "salivating" for "Soul Eater". There is a saying that goes well: the box office cannot measure the quality of a movie, but it represents the popularity of the movie worldwide. Since "Soul Eater" is so popular abroad, it should be supported domestically. After all, the film's household registration is still in China. We can't always let foreigners say that we don't have the enthusiasm for cultural consumption, right?

A large number of movie fans immediately booked tickets, and they came to the cinema excitedly on the first day of the screening. They walked in with an expectant expression and walked out with a thoughtful expression. This is the state of most people during the most crowded days.

For a while, Weibo and Moments posted a super-popular topic about "Soul Eater", such as "I always thought that Tulan's actor had a name for nothing, but after watching "Soul Eater" today, I know what is real." , "Luanna played very well, but unfortunately there is not much room for this role to play, I feel that it is not enough to compete for the best actress in the Golden Rooster Award", "I found out that Bian Jiang is really the assistant director after reading the description later, He also took on some responsibilities as a martial arts instructor, which greatly changed my outlook. I thought he was a joke before, but I didn’t expect him to be serious.” “Director Xi surprised me again” and other positive comments dominated the mainstream.

To catch up with this popularity, many people who claim to be authoritative began to write long analysis. They believed that the main reason why "Soul Eater" became popular was the level of the actor and actress. "Iceberg Principle" discussion, high technical level, strong off-site assistance, director Xi's paintings have a strong sense of presence in Europe.

After reading the analysis post, everyone smiled and came to a conclusion: Director Xi is fine if he doesn't make a move, and it's amazing when he makes a move.

First of all, the actor and actress are basically coming for him, no matter what the original purpose is; secondly, the character design of the seven-member team is roughly based on Director Xi's rough outline version; thirdly, the most powerful off-site assistance is Fu Zhichuan I like Xiyan's Weibo; in the end, he must have opened up, otherwise why would he have art skill cheats!

All in all, we are convinced of this pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

As soon as Xiyan came back to China, he found such a big surprise. He was so happy that he flew up, as if he could predict the day when his personal income would blow up Fu Zhichuan. He completely ignored the fact that he was already a veritable daughter-in-law, and slept with his arms around Fu Zhichuan every night. There was a smile on his face all the time, and Fu Zhichuan suspected that he could say the line "Girl, let grandpa kiss me, grandpa is rich" at any time.

Relying on the strong influence of "Soul Eater", Xi Yan has stepped into the ranks of outstanding directors from a budding newcomer in one fell swoop. Even if he is ranked at the bottom, it is a historic progress. Even if he does not participate in interviews and promotional activities at all, the popularity is extremely high.

Ji Xiaoxiao, Gu Cexuan, Li Tao, Zhao Han and other good friends called to congratulate her, and Xiyan laughed from ear to ear all day long.

Relying on this excitement, Xiyan wandered around for a long time, feeling the joy of both spiritual and material harvests.

It's a pity that as the schedule of the "Fengya" global model collection competition continues to advance, Fu Zhichuan, the special guest, has already skipped a few rounds of work, and he can't go on. The next day, I took my lover to wash and eat.

At the beginning, Xiyan waved his hand generously to indicate that you should go quickly, I will be fine at home alone, and by the way, I was still thinking about whether to make a special card to issue Fu Zhichuan's pocket money when traveling.

But when Fu Zhichuan really left, Xiyan felt that he couldn't do anything. He brushed his teeth and gritted his toothbrush in a daze, and he gritted his chopsticks while eating. Now, he would stand behind him and brush his teeth, he would feed him if he didn't want to eat by himself, and Fu Zhichuan would read to him when he got bored thinking about the plot...

no!It's too depraved, it will definitely be spoiled if it goes on like this, he still wants to rise up!

Since Fu Jiuyu went back to Germany directly with Sylvie and Wilhelm, Xiyan didn't want to stay at home and get moldy, so he went to Ji Xiaoxiao's. Ji Xiaoxiao's work has been relatively easy recently.

Xiyan and Ji Xiaoxiao lay faceless on the bed, eating potato chips and drinking milk tea at the same time. Xiyan originally wanted to think deeply about what he should do next, but in the end Ji Xiaoxiao was too busy watching the drama. Laughing for a while, cursing angrily for a while, his expression was so rich that Xiyan had to look at him.

"Why are you so idle?"

Ji Xiaoxiao pulled the earphones and shouted, "What did you say?"

"I ask why you are so idle." Xiyan threw a potato chip over, Ji Xiaoxiao quickly caught it with his mouth, and chewed it.

"Don't throw it around. When Lin Heng comes back and sees me eating on the bed and soiling the sheets, he will definitely stage the annual tear-up show." After taking a sip of milk tea, he continued, "It was originally an idea. A pretty good variety show sent me an invitation. Lin Heng said it was good, and I agreed to go without asking any more questions. Later, it seemed that there was a problem with the editorial team of that show, and I don’t know what happened to it. It's late, so I have nothing to do."

Xiyan sighed: "With a manager like Lin Heng who doesn't squeeze your labor, you really have saved eight lifetimes." And such a caring person is still a lover.

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxiao looked very shy, but the corners of his mouth kept rising.

Caught off guard by being fed dog food, Xi Yan silently got up and went to the bathroom.

Ji Xiaoxiao was wandering alone when he suddenly heard Xiyan's cell phone ringing. He waited for a while and saw that Xiyan hadn't come out yet, so he answered it for him first.

"Excuse me, is it director Xi Yanxi?"

"I'm sorry, please wait a moment, he has something to do now."

"Okay, it's okay, can you tell Director Xi to call back as soon as possible?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxiao nodded while stuffing beef jerky into his mouth.

Xiyan came out after washing his hands, and asked Ji Xiaoxiao, "Who is looking for me?"

Ji Xiaoxiao directly gave him the phone: "I don't know, you should ask yourself, it doesn't sound like a harassing call."

"Hello?"

"Excuse me, is it Director Xi himself?"

"It's me." Xiyan lay back on the bed again, too lazy to move.

"Hello, Director Xi, I'm Liu Fuqian, the operation director of EBC TV station. I want to ask if you are interested in becoming the director of a new variety show on our TV station?"

Xiyan subconsciously moved the phone away, looked at the number, and rubbed his ears again.

"Director Xi?" Liu Fuqian asked again after hearing that Xi Yan hadn't replied for a long time.

"Is today April Fool's Day?" Xiyan looked at the sky.

Regardless of the two professions of film director and variety show director, there is a word "director". The nature of the work is still very different. Although there is a major department of directing in the major, the emphasis is different.The reason why Xiyan was kicked out to learn to be a director was partly because he was in such a bad state that his hands trembled while holding a paintbrush, partly because he could not refuse Fu Zhichuan's help, and partly because he remembered the skills left behind by the original owner.

However, what is the situation now? How can someone call a film director in a daze and ask him to become a director of a TV program? This director of operations is too unreliable. Will the TV station really not go bankrupt?

"No no, Director Xi, don't rush to refuse, listen to me in detail."
