Entertainment Empire

Time flies by very quickly, and soon it is November. There is a hint of chill in the air of Yanjing. As November approaches, the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has finally been released one after another. The final box office was set at 2.38 billion as predicted by Maoyan——

Less than 2.4 billion.

The domestic box office record is finally no longer within one billion, but the subsequent impact of this movie is very far-reaching. With the explosion of this movie, imax3d has really begun to become popular, and many big names have already Cinema chains have begun to lay out IMAX theaters and 3D theaters, and related technologies have been completely introduced into the country. I believe that in the near future, people who want to see top-notch special effects in theaters will no longer need to look for just a few large theaters.

Breaking the record is not scary.

What is really scary is doubling the previous record, which is enough to illustrate the problem. Just like the campus report card, the gap between the first and second place may be one or two points, or it may be as vast as a few dozen points. The gap between "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and the previous record is this natural chasm.

Luo Xun got busy.

As expected, Kong Shuang helped him dominate the covers of five major magazines, achieving a home run in the fashion industry. This made his position as the number one in the endorsement circle more and more unbreakable. He just spent a week in a row taking photos for major brands. It was indeed very tiring for Luo Xun.

other side.

Xiao Tao is also actively helping Luo Xun find new film projects, but unfortunately, he has never encountered a script that Luo Xun fell in love with. This made Luo Xun realize that he might really have to carry out the trinity operation in advance.

Written, directed and acted.

Such a trinity was too stressful. Luo Xun originally did not want to touch it easily. Even though he had been perfecting the script of "The Return of the Great Sage", he never dared to directly initiate the project because he felt that the first drama of the trinity must be stable. It's okay to be ruthless, but now whether he decides to have a trinity in his next film or not, he has to make preparations in advance. He can't be a fisherman or run a company for a long time without going out to film.

It is worth mentioning that...

There are also many people in the variety show circle looking for cooperation with Luo Xun, but now Luo Xun is no longer suitable for variety shows, even slow variety shows. However, the silver variety show department is still working tirelessly to launch new variety shows, including Luo Xun In addition to the "Longing for Life" designed by myself, there are also a series of variety shows created by the company's variety show department.

Some are good, some are bad.

Luo Xun didn't interfere too much. It would be more helpful to let the people below him experience some exploration. In the past, he had always provided variety show ideas, and the people below were responsible for the execution. The ability cultivated in that way was not that interesting.

Anyway...

The company's turnover has been rising, which is enough. As long as it doesn't lose money, Luo Xun dares to let go more boldly. This also makes the internal atmosphere of Yinbai very good, everyone is very enterprising, Luo Xun The requirements for seeking have always been simple:

Of course it's okay to fail.

But the attitude must be serious.

In Kong Shuang's words, Luo Xun was doing nothing, and the concepts he instilled in his employees were simple but useful. However, Luo Xun would still attend the monthly meetings. He couldn't really care about anything.

…

If there is a trinity, then which movie should be chosen? This is a question Luo Xun started to think about in November. He does have some movies that he personally likes very much in his memory, but he also wants to be a director, so when considering movies, he must not only When considering character design, etc., he also had to consider whether it would be well directed, so after weighing the considerations, the film that came to his mind was called:

The flames scorch the heart.

In its previous life, this film was adapted from the novel "Sunspot" by female writer Xu Yigua. It tells the story of three sworn brothers with different identities who jointly raise an orphan girl. It seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents and coincidences. The story of a shocking case.

Why choose this one?

Because this movie is a crime suspense movie, and Luo Xun has been in the industry for many years, and apart from the suit thugs in the second part of "Slaying the Wolf", he has never made many movies of this type, so he wants to get serious this time The eight classics are tried once.

And it is different from "Sha Po Lang 2".

There is no hard-and-fast action scene in "Heart of the Sun". This is a serious suspense crime story. It tells the story of three brothers who have reformed their evil ways and faced off against a powerful police officer because they were burdened with a shocking case. .

In the original version.

The first male lead is played by Deng Chao, while the second male lead is Duan Yihong. The two have a lot of rivalry scenes in this movie, and the various confrontations are very interesting. The performances they contributed are very exciting. Luo Xun even thinks that this is Deng Chao. A movie where Chao's acting skills are at their best.

If Luo Xun wants to take pictures.

The male lead must be himself.

The second male lead did not need to be changed, so he chose Duan Yihong. In fact, Luo Xun had thought about continuing to cooperate with Duan Yihong many years ago, and the movie "The Heart of the Sun" has been spinning in his mind.

As for the other characters…

Luo Xun is still thinking about it. Although he has a rough idea in his mind, he doesn't want to confirm it immediately. It is better to write the script first and then give it to his friends to see what suggestions they have. Because he has already had the idea, he decided to write the script for "Sunspot" years ago. The rights to adapt the novel have been bought by Yin Bai.

Compared to "Sunspot\

,"Luo Xun preferred the title of the movie "Scorching Sun" because it was more meaningful. However, before writing the script, Luo Xun first called Duan Yihong's phone number, and the other party answered the phone quickly and was very surprised: "Luo... Teacher Luo Xun..."

"Old Duan, you are so polite."

Luo Xun rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Duan Yihong smiled awkwardly: "I'm not afraid that you will be arrogant now. After all, you are so popular and we haven't contacted for many years. I have also watched several of your movies this year. They are really great. Congratulations."

"Don't be polite."

Luo Xun smiled and said: "Of course I want to cooperate with you. Remember I said that year that we would have the opportunity to cooperate again. Now I am writing the script. I will send it to you as soon as it is written. There is a role in it that I think it belongs to you, the second male lead."

"The first male lead is you?"

Duan Yihong's tone was slightly excited.

Luo Xun said, "Could it be you?"

Duan Yihong laughed out loud. Luo Xun's casual joke made his sense of alienation disappear completely: "I would like to, but I can't snatch it from you. Then send the script back to me. If nothing unexpected happens, I have no problem. If not for anything else, just because you still remember me."

"Okay, okay."

Luo Xun didn't expect Duan Yihong to be so straightforward. He originally thought that the other party would be very straightforward and say that he would give you an answer after reading the script. This is in line with his impression of Duan Yihong. However, there seems to be a reason why the other party is so straightforward, because the last sentence of Duan Yihong before hanging up the phone was: "It just so happens that I also want to work with you again."
