He is not yet 25 years old and has only made three movies.
When the box office of "Charlotte Trouble" exceeded 1 billion, Chen Shicheng also called to congratulate him, but he may have a different feeling in his heart.
Although the results of "Yanjing Love Story" are also good, I am most afraid of comparison shopping, especially since the two people have a frequent cooperation relationship, so the outside world is used to comparing their films.
Chen Shicheng's movie was directed and starred by him, but Xia Fan is a male, and the movie he directed and starred in is a male. Both movies have a high box office, and some media say that they are actually Xia Fan's. Credit goes to him for bringing wealth.
As for the talent of the director, it is more appropriate to speak of the box office. In such a comparison, Xia Fan is even better. What's more, Xia Fan is more than 10 years younger than Chen Shicheng, which makes this comparison even more tragic.
"Xiaoxia, congratulations on the box office success. The results of your movie are so good!"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Shicheng said with a somewhat complicated tone.
"Director Chen, I am really lucky this time. Maybe my movies will not have such good results in the future. I feel that this movie has exhausted all my inspiration!" Xia Fan said very humbly.
He has watched many classic comedy movies, but it¡¯s really not something he can act in if he wants to.
For example, those classics by Stephen Chow, but if you put yourself into the role of Master Xing, you will definitely not be able to control it, not to mention the lack of a golden supporting actor Ng Meng-tat!
Although Xia Fan knows a lot of comedy movies, there are only a few that can be made!
The outside world called him the future king of comedy, and he was a little scared.
He knows how much he weighs. If he can't get his position right and loses himself because of this box office performance, he will be like Charlotte who got lost after singing a few hits in the movie. He doesn't allow this to happen.
Therefore, Xia Fan must grasp Chen Shicheng's line.
"Xiaoxia, this movie has done so well, have you ever considered making a second one?"
This is what Chen Shicheng really cares about. After all, in this guy's mind, if a good IP work doesn't continue to make a few more series to make money, then it's really a pity for this IP.
So I first had the TV series version of "Yanjing Love Story", and then the movie version of "Yanjing Love Story".
Facts have proved that this method is quite good.
"It's a pity that Shen Teng in his previous life didn't film "Charlotte Trouble 2", so Xia Fan had no place to copy it if he wanted to!
"Director Chen, I will not consider directing a second film myself for at least the next three years. My energy is really limited!"
He spoke slowly and calmly: "First of all, I have to spend a lot of energy writing songs, and I may have to hold concerts and guest star in some variety shows. The important thing is that you have a new movie in preparation, right?"
Xia Fan was also making innuendoes, telling the other party overtly and covertly: Although this "Charlotte Troubles" was a hit, he would not have the idea of ??making a second one. He always remembered what you said at that time.
Director Chen Da has a new movie idea, and Xia Fan has always reserved a schedule for him. He will never have the idea of ????going it alone just because the film's performance is too good, let alone take the opportunity to ask for a higher salary.
He is very clear about the status of the Tang Detective series in Chinese-language movies. Although the third part was not satisfactory and disappointed countless movie fans, the first two parts are undoubtedly masterpieces, thus establishing the most valuable IP in Chinese-language movies.
Xia Fan has basically bid farewell to the TV industry. It is certain that "In the Name of the People" is his swan song. Why should he come back with such a perfect curtain call performance?
? Then in the future of his acting career, he will focus more on film shooting.
"However, good scripts are hard to come by, and his character would rather not be in a good movie, so he would rather not participate in it.
Occasionally there are good movies.
But this involves the so-called resource issue. It's not like Xia Fan can act in any movie he wants to act in. Many movies have already decided on the actors at the beginning of the project, and Xia Fan doesn't have a role at all. Those big directors also like it. Use actors you are familiar with instead of choosing an unfamiliar star.
Even if it¡¯s an open casting call
These good films will basically have countless first-line actors competing. Considering Xia Fan¡¯s status in the film industry, he is actually not qualified to participate in the competition.
"If it were in the television industry, Xia Fan would have the opportunity to participate in any film he wanted to participate in. After all, the people in the television industry??The directors all know Xia Fan's ability, and Xia Fan's past ratings have been quite impressive, and he can truly make everyone's success!
But he no longer acts in TV series
But as a newcomer to the film industry, Xia Fan has indeed touched the hearts of many people inadvertently. Those veteran directors and actors have their own fixed interest circles, but he is an outsider, an intruder, who comes to seize the market and share the market share. Cake.
There are many people staring at him, hoping that his next movie will hit the market, and then these people will immediately make a big fuss, such as the talent is exhausted and so on.
A person¡¯s name is like a tree¡¯s shadow!
Xia Fan may indeed have too little experience in the film industry. He only has three relatively successful works, and his first low-budget film "Love Is Not Blind" was purely luck. In the next few years, the director Teng Tao Several more movies were released one after another, but the results were disastrous.
From being a dark horse that created a miracle at the box office, and then being rejected by the film industry within a few years, Teng Tao returned to the television industry in disgrace.
Xia Fan is sure that there will be people who secretly hope that one day in the future, they will encounter the same fate as Teng Tao.
"The film industry pays attention to seniority. There are many people who once became famous but failed to recognize themselves. Teng Tao's experience is not the first, nor will it be the last."
At that time, some senior industry insiders made such comments.
It seems that the other party is not interested in drinking. He is referring to Teng Tao openly, but in fact, he is referring to Xia Fan secretly. Even if you are proud this morning, there will be times when you will be disappointed in the future.
Why doesn¡¯t Xia Fan understand these truths?
???????????????????????????????
If he takes advantage of the popularity of "Charlotte" and continues to launch a second comedy movie, although he can cut a wave of leeks, the decline in reputation is inevitable.
Xia Fan knows that he is not Shen Teng after all!
At this time, Chen Shicheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xia Fan's thoughts.
"The other party has no intention of continuing to direct movies, and he deliberately reserved a schedule for himself, so he doesn't have to worry about the male lead in the new movie.
Chen Shicheng is very sure that Xia Fan has been his lucky star since the day he became a director! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
