But to be honest, his pride as a great director makes him not want to become famous "again" by relying on the drama he has "already filmed". Therefore, he will pay more attention to this drama, but not too much. participated in it.

In fact, after you reach a certain level, you all know that before a certain state, you can draw parallels, but after you reach a certain state, it is better to be single-minded.

After finishing the filming, it was early September.

Speaking of which, there is another very "familiar" work in this year's summer schedule.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City".

In this life, the drama was not handed over to Peng Hui, but was digested by Happy Twist's own team.

The male protagonist chosen is naturally Shen Teng.

The heroine is Xiaotong.

And the reason why it is Xiaotong is because of the cost of this drama...

Peng Hui deserves some credit.

Before this, Peng Hui really didn't have time to film this movie because he had to film "Knowledge" and "Dajiang Dahe".

But I didn’t want to let go of such a good subject, so I simply asked Xiaotong to join the team.

He invested 50 million, Xiaotong invested 10 million, and Happy Twist invested 40 million.

Xihong City Pictures, established by Yan Fei and Peng Anyu who left Happy Mahua, invested 50 million.

The total cost is 150 million.

Nowadays, with the popularity of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Xiaotong is naturally becoming more and more popular.

No wonder Xiaotong became even more attached to Peng Hui despite not seeing him for a while.

It’s not that no one is filming good projects these days, but...

There are too few good projects that can make money!

How pitiful!

There are many dramas in which the national team made huge investments and suffered huge losses, but so far, the only one in which Peng Hui has not recovered its costs is the literary film "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor".

But in fact, the drama had a good reputation and was sold to many countries. Although it finally managed to recover its capital, it did not make much profit.

It is a no-loss, no-profit situation.

but……

This is already good!

Although Xiaotong's performance is a bit realistic.

But Peng Hui was very happy.

In fact, to be honest, Xiao Ju in the dream was a bit too dreamy for him.

A girl lived in two different places from Peng Hui. When the two of them had no contact with each other on weekdays, why would the other party follow him wholeheartedly?

What? Benefits?

Xiaoju has never enjoyed Peng Hui's benefits.

Especially when Xiaoju's acting skills were very poor in the early stage, I really didn't care at all!

I can only say that these are things I encountered in my dreams.

But now, Xiaotong, who is more realistic, makes Peng Hui feel at ease.

Don't be afraid of Xiaotong's reality, but be afraid of Xiaotong's lack of desire and pursuit.

Is there anything wrong with my girlfriend asking her boyfriend to do something?

No problem!

but……

Xiaoju is different.

She herself was born as a minor idol.

It can be said that from the beginning, she stood out from the 300-member girl group.

This also developed her very independent and even masochistic character.

Why does Xiaoju never go to Peng Hui in her dream?

The reason is here.

She is used to being independent and facing everything alone, so she works with a more focused attitude.

She enjoys the process and doesn't want to be disturbed.

But Xiaotong is different.

Xiaotong herself is a typical child star.

She has learned some things in the circle since she was a child.

these things……

I can’t say it’s not good, but it’s obviously not good enough.

Xiaotong's attitude towards work is to take things as they come.

Or in other words, what she values ​​​​is the result, not the process.

Being able to reduce some of the fatigue is also a very happy thing for Xiaotong.

This is also the reason why Xiaotong came to Peng Hui for help, but Xiaoju never did.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Xiaoju is stupid.

In fact, if she really couldn't survive, she would probably come to Peng Hui immediately.

But isn’t it true?

So Peng Hui had no choice but to pretend not to know.

After finishing filming "The Wandering Earth", Peng Hui finally felt completely free.

The recording of "Longing for Life 2" also ended in early July, and now Peng Hui still has three or four dramas to be broadcast.

The fastest-released drama nowadays is actually the Lunar New Year movie "Take My Brother Away."

This year’s Lunar New Year holiday can be said to be simply frustrating.

Neither "Aquaman" nor "Bumblebee" is a solid high-quality work, and their popularity is not high. The box office is only 2 billion and 1 billion at most.

As for the other episodes, they are really pitifully small.

The Indian comedy "102 Years Old" earned more than 29 million at the box office with good reviews.

Due to the low cost and film schedule, "Dog 13" only handed over 47 million yuan in the end.

How can I say that the remaining Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro" is playing the emotional card again after thirty years...

170 million.

Of course, these box office figures are general figures. As for the exact number, Peng Hui can't remember clearly.

All I know is that the 2018 Lunar New Year holiday is the most disappointing one!

Because this year’s Lunar New Year festival is nothing short of bloody!

The three dramas "Thugs of Hindostan", "Insect Valley of Yunnan" and "The Last Night on Earth" not only received very good reviews, but also received very poor box office reviews.

This is also the reason why Peng Hui put "Take My Brother Away Quickly" into the Lunar New Year file.

In fact, if it weren't for "The Wandering Earth" being put on the Spring Festival schedule, plus Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien", the popular "Flying Life", Xingye's "The New King of Comedy", what else would be there?

"The Haunted Bear" series, "Peppa Pig's New Year"...

With so many films scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, Peng Hui will naturally not use "Take My Brother Away" as cannon fodder.

It can be said that next year’s Spring Festival will definitely be the most crowded in history!

Yes, because there will be no Spring Festival period in 2020.

You want to ask why?

This starts with a bat...

After the release date was set, Peng Hui naturally felt much more relaxed.

As Peng Hui's second film, "Take My Brother Away" has attracted a lot of attention.

Apart from anything else, Peng Hui has been quiet this year and has been serious about filming. Although this has resulted in no relevant popularity, with the popularity of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Peng Hui's investment vision has become more and more recognized.

especially……

Xiaotong’s counterattack in personal reputation!

Previously, Xiaotong's reputation was completely ruined due to the baptism of bad movies such as "The Phoenix".

It even became a box office poison for a time.

But this time, although her acting skills are still shoddy, fortunately Xiaotong is no longer a box office poison.

Of course, many people are saying that the heroine's role in this drama seems redundant.

Even without it.

But I have to say that Xiaotong is the heroine.
Chapter completed!
