Aside from the somewhat unusually drawn-out sci-fi film project 'Iron Man'.
Daxu Culture's other two projects were initiated more than a month ago.
Needless to say, 'Crazy Racer' was directed by an outsider, surnamed Li.
When he was selected by Daxu Culture, countless people in the industry were incredibly envious.
In particular, a certain guy who jumped ship from Daxu Culture to Moluntian Film and Television felt extremely regretful.
Because if I hadn't changed jobs, the second installment of this crazy series would definitely have been made for myself.
Unfortunately, one wrong step can lead to no return.
Zhao Fan was essentially sidelined by Mo Luntian because the box office performance of the film 'Kung Fu Legend' did not meet expectations.
Now that he has no movies to shoot, he sees the second installment of Da Xu Culture's Crazy series starting production.
Naturally, they have many ideas.
Actually, he's not the only one with many ideas; many new directors in the industry have similar thoughts.
After hearing that Daxu Culture had approved the "Crazy Racing" project, countless directors came to recommend themselves.
Judging from Da Xu's previous films, every movie this startup made was a hit.
From 'Summer Fall' to 'Stone' to 'Kung Fu Hustle', there wasn't a single film that flopped at the box office.
It's easy to imagine how excited directors in the industry were when Daxu Culture announced it was looking to hire another director.
Regarding another historical drama project, "The Story of Minglan," I'd like to add a few more words.
It's related to the female lead character in the drama.
The female lead in "The Story of Minglan" was not chosen from among the existing female artists of Daxu Culture, but was instead cast by a newcomer actress named Zhao Liying who auditioned.
This was somewhat unexpected.
Before this, many people thought that Liu Yifei, who had played the female lead in The Return of the Condor Heroes, would get the role.
If Liu Yifei really wins him over, then the girls at Daxu Culture will understand and accept it.
But now the female lead has been given to an 'outsider', why?
This incident caused a great stir within DaXu Culture, and even alarmed President Xu, who was in "seclusion for cultivation."
However, our CEO Xu still did not show up.
He only glanced at Zhao Liying's photo before offering a solution:
'Let Zhao Liying act out a few scenes for everyone to see. If she can convince the public, she can take the role; if not, she can't.'
As it turns out, Zhao Liying, who looks exactly like the actress who played the lead role in "The Story of Minglan" on Earth in her previous life, is indeed a very good actress.
She won everyone's recognition through her own abilities.
Thus, the historical drama project "The Story of Minglan" entered the filming stage.
But what puzzles many people is that Director Xu, who is always decisive and efficient in filmmaking, is...
The 'Iron Man' project, which he was to personally oversee, almost stalled after the production team was assembled.
At first, DaXu Culture tried its best to suppress the news.
But as time went by, there was still no news from the 'Iron Man' crew.
Even outsiders noticed that something was wrong.
Some rumors gradually began to circulate:
"What's going on? Why is there absolutely no news about DaXu Culture's Iron Man project?"
"I don't know, it was all the rage a while ago, people were saying it was the light of science fiction in Great Xia..."
"I'm speechless. Could it be that Director Xu suddenly realized he's not going to make this sci-fi film anymore?"
He probably just said it on the spur of the moment, in the heat of the moment, and he'll back down once he calms down.
"Well, you know what, you really think it's possible. Sci-fi movies aren't so easy to make."
"Indeed, nowadays even well-known directors in the industry don't dare to touch this subject matter; only a naive young man would dare to make it."
...
"No way, that would be hilarious. They were bragging so much before, and now their lies have already fallen apart?"
"Is there some other problem? Otherwise, Director Xu's filming skills are quite impressive."
I watched it twice in the cinema first, and then I watched it several more times on DaXu Video website.
"His kung fu is indeed good, but this director Xu is best at comedy films, from 'Summer Fall' to 'Kung Fu'."
Now that he's suddenly deciding to make a science fiction film, the reality is probably more difficult than he imagined, so it's normal that he changed his mind..."
"Actually, I always thought this Iron Man thing was a bit strange. Could it have been a hoax from the start?"
...
Besides the heated discussions among netizens, people within the industry also have their doubts.
For example, Zhao Fan, who felt that his directorial rights for "Crazy Racer" had been taken away.
After discovering that Daxu Culture's "Iron Man" project had been stalled, he started grumbling and cursing from time to time.
"Damn it, if you didn't have the ability to make a sci-fi movie, you shouldn't have bragged about it in the first place. You were so arrogant, but now look at you, hiding like a coward?"
Zhao Fan felt frustrated because he knew one thing very well.
If that guy named Xu Lu hadn't been knocked out a few times, I wouldn't have had the chance to stage an accident at all.
It could even be said that even if Xu Lu stops directing and making films from now on, Zhao Fan will never catch up.
The box office success of 'Kung Fu Hustle' is simply too great.
Five billion!
Is this something an average person can achieve?
Although Zhao Fan had high aspirations, he didn't think he could make 5 billion yuan at the box office with just one movie.
