Chapter 400 No Choice, Only All (Subscription Support Requested!)
…
Xu Kai used his experience in his previous life and the thousand-year heritage of the old Huashan Sect.
Xu Kai became famous overnight.
In theory, this is the best time for Xu Kai to advance with his double reputation.
At this time, the film industry entered a cold winter period, a large number of cinemas were closed, and many film and television actors could not find jobs.
Moreover, the epidemic situation is severe and complicated. Cinemas in more and more cities are forced to temporarily suspend operations, and it is difficult for released films to achieve high box office results.
If this continues, the viewing habits of the audience, which have been cultivated by several generations over decades, are likely to change.
By then, it will be a huge disaster that the film industry cannot reverse.
At this time, there is a particular need for one or two movies to save the market.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, including Hollywood and other regions, Xu Kai is the only one who has such a strong box office appeal.
Moreover, Xu Kai currently has a huge reputation because he donated 100 billion yuan. If Xu Kai really comes out to make a movie, there will definitely be countless people coming to watch it.
Therefore, facing the life and death of the entire industry and themselves, even though these domestic filmmakers already knew that Xu Kai was about to quit the entertainment industry, they still approached Xu Kai one after another, hoping that Xu Kai could come out and make one or two rescue films to support the collapsing building and turn the tide.
This time, it's not just Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others, but also Zhu Bing, Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Xiaosu, Shen Hehe, Dilia and other women of Xu Kai who are still working in the film and television industry, all hope that Xu Kai can come out to save the market.
The anger has been building to this point. How could Xu Kai, who has not really quit the entertainment industry, not come out? Soon, two pieces of news spread like wildfire.
1. Xu Kai will come out of retirement to shoot two "A Chinese Odyssey" movies to save the market, and these two "A Chinese Odyssey" movies will be Xu Kai's final works. After the two movies are finished, Xu Kai will enter the pharmaceutical industry and devote himself to the research and development and promotion of low-cost drugs, and will never be involved in the entertainment industry again in his life.
2. Xu Kai will donate all the box office revenue and related profits earned from "A Chinese Odyssey" to establish a public welfare hospital.
Xu Kai already had a huge reputation and was highly anticipated, and coupled with these two explosive pieces of news, "A Chinese Odyssey" immediately attracted widespread attention from the public.
On the other hand, while Xu Kai was selecting actors suitable for the roles in "A Chinese Odyssey" in the entertainment industry, he was also vigorously developing special effects.
——Xu Kai not only built a "A Chinese Odyssey" movie studio in Xixia, but also specially established a world-leading special effects company.
Xu Kai had already thought it through. The plot of "A Chinese Odyssey" must not be changed, not at all, because it was a classic among classics and there was no possibility of change. The only thing Xu Kai could change was the special effects.
Therefore, Xu Kai planned to equip "A Chinese Odyssey" with the most advanced special effects, so that "A Chinese Odyssey" could become a movie like "Avatar" that could break cultural barriers, and allow "A Chinese Odyssey" with strong Chinese characteristics to be culturally exported again.
In order to achieve this goal, Xu Kai not only served as the director of "A Chinese Odyssey", but also personally played the roles of Zhizunbao/Sun Wukong/Sunset Warrior.
As for the other actors of "A Chinese Odyssey", Xu Kai selected all the best in the entertainment industry.
As for other relevant personnel, let alone this cold winter period when the market conditions are bleak, even in the hot period of the market, Xu Kai would always use the best in the industry.
In addition, the soundtrack of "A Chinese Odyssey" was all completed by Xu Kai, and the theme song "Love of a Lifetime" was also sung by Xu Kai and Yang Xindong.
All in all, Xu Kai did his best in this last film.
Xu Kai, this cheater, has put so much effort into it, so the result must be good.
The previous version of "A Chinese Odyssey" was born at the wrong time.
——"A Chinese Odyssey", created in the 1990s of the previous life, adopted a parallel time and space story background that was rare at that time. The dual identity and time travel of Supreme Treasure in the movie also created a lot of misunderstandings for the audience who did not understand time travel at all and could not accept such advanced concepts. Many people even regarded it as cultural garbage.
In the era that Xu Kai lives in now, under the premise that "time travel" and "dual identity" have become commonplace, the audience can certainly realize that beneath the comedy and funny appearance of "A Chinese Odyssey" lies richer themes such as growth and responsibility.
Therefore, as soon as "A Chinese Odyssey" was released, it received overwhelming positive reviews and all the film critics praised it ravely.
To paraphrase a film critic: Director Yu Qingyun tells a deeply emotional story in a nonsensical way. This movie epitomizes my life, so I laughed to the end but cried in tears. This is my feeling after watching "A Chinese Odyssey" for the third time.
In addition to the impeccable and excellent plot, Xu Kai combined the special effects technology of both worlds and found the best special effects team in the world to make the special effects of "A Chinese Odyssey" the best in the world.
There is no doubt that Xu Kai's "A Chinese Odyssey" is definitely a good movie that will go down in film history and rank among the best.
Good movie.
Coupled with Xu Kai's fame and unparalleled appeal.
Plus lots of gimmicks.
As soon as "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Pandora's Box" was released, the box office easily exceeded 10 billion yuan, and finally stopped at 13.7 billion yuan.
After the release of "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella", it finally achieved a box office revenue of over 20 billion yuan.
And this is just the box office results achieved by the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" in China.
——Due to Xu Kai's fame and strong box office appeal worldwide, and because the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" are the highest-grossing movies in the world, and because the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" are the movies with the best special effects of the time, the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" have also achieved extremely dazzling box office results in foreign film markets. In the Beijing Film Academy film market alone, each part has achieved a result of more than 1 billion yuan. Chinese culture has once again completed a huge cultural output.
but--
While the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey" achieved unprecedented success, they also brought Xu Kai a lot of trouble.
——Xu Kai, who has a romantic nature, fell in love not only with Fairy Zixia, but also with Bai Jingjing during the filming of the two-part "A Chinese Odyssey". Even the Spider Spirit, Princess Iron Fan and Niu Xiangxiang all pursued Xu Kai fiercely.
Xu Kai will never be Sun Wukong, let alone Zhizun Bao. In his world, there is no choice but to have it all.
So five more people were added to Xu Kai's family.
After "A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella" was completely taken off the screen, Yang Xinchun, on behalf of Xu Kai, used Xu Kai's official platform to officially announce that Xu Kai had completely withdrawn from the entertainment industry and would never return.
A month later, the Oscars awarded Xu Kai the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The organizers of the Oscars could be said to be begging Xu Kai to come in person to receive this meaningful award.
Film and television workers and audiences around the world also called on Xu Kai to receive this award, for which he is so worthy.
Xu Kai considered that this Lifetime Achievement Award also marked the end of his career in the entertainment industry, so he attended the Oscars in a Tang suit.
This was Xu Kai's last appearance in the entertainment industry.
