Three-quarters of 2021 has passed, and the domestic box office is also all the way red, but to say that the box office dark horse, I am afraid that there are only two movies of the Spring Festival, "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Detective Chinatown 3".
These two movies are in full swing in the Spring Festival slot, but there is one person who is happy to blossom, that is, Chen Zhixi.
She is the author of Hello. The producer of "Lee Huan Ying" and the partner of "Detective Chinatown 3" earned money standing.
A search of information reveals that she is not yet forty years old
Looking at her resume, you will find that the box office dark horses of the past decade seem to be related to her, especially those films where actors have changed directions, and most of the producers are her.
In the preparation stage of "Detective Chinatown", in order to catch up with the schedule, he entrusted the Thai government, and the last few departments listened to her there to talk about the filming plan.
Looking at her Weibo, I found that she is still a very moralistic person, openly intimidating Dong Jie for her own artists, of course, her relationship with Pan Yueming is not only the relationship between agents and stars.
Chen Zhixi was born in 1982, formerly known as Chen Xi, and graduated from the 2000 acting department of the Central Academy of Drama.
In 2003, when Chen Zhixi was in his junior year of acting at the Central Academy of Drama, he became famous with a film with Sichengova, "Out of the Blue Water River"
In 2005, she starred in "Mayor" as the heroine Shan Rong, who is strong and capable in appearance and simple and kind in heart.
The male protagonist of this TV series is Pan Yueming, and chen Zhixi in the play loves the town mayor played by Pan Yueming to love "moving forward", but unfortunately they are not together in the end.
This TV series formed a deep friendship, and when Pan Yueming was hacked later, when his career plummeted, he signed Pan Yueming under pressure.
Later, he even directly named Dong Jie by name. Of course, scolding Dong Jie is still because she has enough strength.
Although Chen Zhixi has been playing continuously, as an actor, she has never been popular, because she is unwilling to accept some "unspoken rules" of the entertainment industry.
Of course, her parents also support her ideas, after all, she is a veritable rich second generation, when she told her parents about the idea of not wanting to be "unspoken rules",
Parents say, "Since you don't want to be 'ruled', then make 'rules'". So her parents gave her tens of millions to support her career as a producer.
Tens of millions are many for ordinary people, but for the film industry, there are not many to say, and tens of millions are destined to have many restrictions on her investment in movies.
That is, you can't invest in movies with famous directors and superstars, because the money is only enough to pay them at most.
The 2010 film "You Deserve to Be Single" was Chen Zhixi's producer debut, when she was "a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."
However, the film was not satisfactory at the box office, but Chen Zhixi should have accumulated experience.
This was followed by the producers of the films "Pretend Couple" and "Frontier Storm", which of course also grossed average.
But it was also the same year that the most famous movie in the history of China's box office was born, that is, "Tai 囧",
The cost of 30 million created a box office of 1.2 billion, and even if Xu Zheng shot again, he did not reach this effect.
Of course, taking so much money to invest in an actor as a director is certainly not decided by the head hot.
Chen Zhixi and Xu Zheng are also old acquaintances, they once collaborated on "Ouchi Low Hand", and at that time, they also said to each other that you are suitable for the director and you are suitable for the producer.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, the joke of the two people came true.
Because of her distrust of the actor as a director, Chen Zhixi's investment as a producer has not been pulled, and the initial start-up funds are all her own cushions.
It was not until after huang Bo joined the franchise before starting that the money of other film and television companies arrived, so the film was successfully filmed, and finally created one miracle after another.
At the end of the movie, Chen Zhixi also made a cameo appearance, playing a flight attendant, a close-up shot of more than ten seconds.
At the end of the film, the audience is saying that this is definitely a relationship, and it turns out that it is really the biggest relationship in the film.
The following year, as a producer, he produced "Goodbye to The Youth of Blooming", the director is the newcomer Lu Gengjiao, and the starring is Pan Yueming,
This year's Pan Yueming should be the lowest valley of his career, he was splashed with dirty water by Dong Jie, and he did not fight back against Dong Jie because he did not want his son to be hurt.
Instead, he suffered silently, this year he starred in the works of three newcomer directors, which is helpless and Chen Zhixi's little help to his friends.
In 2014, she worked as a producer and actress on a TV series called "All Brothers".
Breaking through in many costume dramas has brought a different breeze to the costume style of the silver screen, which has been highly recognized by the audience.
Many viewers and netizens have said that such TV series are closer to life and more reflect the problems of current society.
The next few years will be her moment of glory. In 2014, he participated in the production of Deng Chao's screen directorial debut "Breakup Master"
It snatched nearly 700 million at the box office from the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers", and many films have similar operations later, but the effect is not very good.
The following year, she also served as the producer of Dapeng's screen directorial debut "Pancake Man", and with the fans accumulated by "Di Si Men", the film was extremely popular as soon as it was released
Coupled with strong marketing, although the film is a mess, it has also earned nearly 1.2 billion at the box office.
The audience that came out of the cinema shouted that they were deceived, and when the sincere work "The Sewing Machine Band" by Director Dapeng was released later, the audience said that they would never be deceived again, resulting in the final box office of less than 500 million.
But it is still a wild profit, but compared to the shoddy production of "Pancake Man", the box office of "The Sewing Machine Band" is sorry for his quality.
Also in 2015, the first part of the mainland's highest-grossing film series "Detective Chinatown" was also born, the producer was Still Chen Zhixi, and she also made a cameo appearance as a police officer at the beginning of the film.
The story of the film is set in Thailand, which is also the filming location of the movie "Tai 囧".
The positive role of "Tai 囧" in promoting Thailand's tourism industry is obvious, and when "Tai 囧" was released, even the Thai prime minister received the director Xu Zheng.
So for this time to put the film in Thailand again, As a producer, Chen Zhixi is familiar with the road.
Because the Script of the Chinese, English and Thai Chinese versions of the script was sent to the Thai side for review, and all shooting scenes needed to be approved in advance. It takes a long time.
Chen Zhixi met the Director of Tourism of Thailand directly through friendship, submitted the audit materials, and unexpectedly received a call from the secretary of the minister a few days later.
"I was frightened when I went in, and she called the president in charge of the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, the chief of police, the secretary general of the municipal government, the chief of the tourist police, the district chief in charge of the Chinatown area, the deputy director of the film bureau, the staff of the tourism bureau, and a room full of people watched me report alone." The point I said at that time was that with "Tai Chi" in front, "Detective Chinatown" could once again pull Thailand's tourism, and I had to say it very carefully before she would feel OK and finally provide support. ”
In addition to the above films, she is also a producer of the science fiction film Animal World, and there are countless other co-produced films.
While being a producer, he has not forgotten that he was once an actor, the most famous of which is "A Generation of Gangsters" starring Sun Honglei.
Although Sun Honglei's domineering side leak in the film, she is still helpless in the face of Zhu Cailing, played by Chen Zhixi.
Having a unique vision as a producer, being a friend is even more interesting, and being a producer blatantly dissing actor should not be common.
The thing is, after Pan Yueming and Dong Jie divorced, the son was awarded to Dong Jie, but Dong Jie did not let him see Pan Yueming
As a result, every time his son's birthday, he can only send blessings in the media.
However, once Pan Yueming's father was hospitalized, met his grandson, and was rejected by Dong Jie, and this "righteous soldier" could not bear it any longer and directly scolded Dong Jie.
When Pan Yueming was at a low point, pan Yueming starred in his own film, and when Pan Yueming planned to make a comeback with a new look,
Let him play the villain's perverted father in his self-produced movie "Detective Chinatown". This kind of boss and friend who doesn't want it.
Now that she is less than forty years old, she has achieved results that others cannot achieve in a lifetime, and looks forward to the films she will produce in the future.
