Chapter 57: What a Tough Head!—2/5

(Pushing the book, "The Great Idler in the Film and Television World", my scalp is numb when I show it, especially "Wind and Clouds"... )

Hong Kong films have always been an integral part of Chinese-language films.

We can't give it up...

We want to revitalize Hong Kong films!

How to rejuvenate?

The routine is not afraid of being old, but I am afraid that it is not cool enough.

Prisons, anti-drugs, rich second generations and even chaebol themes can be filmed!

It's been more than 100 years since the birth of cinema, and all kinds of amazing ideas have been exhausted!

Rather than trying to innovate dramatically, commercial films seeking the box office should do a good job of the old routines, because it is not easy to brew old wine well, and it requires skill.

Give full play to the advantages of genre films, it is a work above the level line!

In fact, this is proposed by the manager of the cinema line, and the main position of the Jiahe cinema line is in the south, to be exact, it is really the four major cities of Shenzhen, Shantou, Xiamen, and Zhuhai...

Xu Xiaofeng's research found that Hong Kong films accounted for about 30% of the box office in Golden Harvest Cinemas...

"The Strongest Happy Event" had a box office of 150 million, and Golden Harvest Cinemas contributed one-third

It shows that the audience in the Cantonese-speaking area eats Hong Kong films very much.

Instead of sharing accounts with others, it is better to do it yourself.

Of course, Shen Mengxi is not a person who eats alone, he will work with Emperor and Yindu to develop together.

......

"New A Chinese Ghost Story", there is no point to watch, except for the subtitles at the end of the film, "Forever miss Mr. Leslie Cheung", and "A Chinese Ghost Story" sung by Leslie Cheung...

You are hot, it should be released on April 1st!

Well, it's on April 1st...

At the end of the movie, a media interview with Shen Mengxi, he frowned and thought about it, and then said: "It can be seen that the screenwriter and director want to play innovation... Whether this kind of innovation can be recognized by the audience, I think there should be a question mark!"

"What do you think?"

"I still won't say it. ”

I think?

What do you think about remaking an 80 or even 10 percent movie into 60 points?

Then the reporter asked another question: "Then do you think "Guan Yunchang" will affect the box office of "Painted Skin 3"?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Mengxi really didn't understand...

The reporter explained that it turned out that Shangying raised "Guan Yunchang" to April 26, and it was bound to share the May 1st file with "Painted Skin 3"...

"Did they really raise April 26?"

"Yes!"

Shen Mengxi's mind was a little messy, and he wanted to vomit for a while, but he didn't know where to vomit, pursed his lips, and said, "... Come on. ”

Come on?

What does that mean?

I still have to ask something, Shen Mengxi has already left...

The skull is a bit messy...

"Painted Skin 3", the final chapter of the "Painted Skin" trilogy, and also the beginning of the spin-off film of the Painted Skin World - the easter egg part has the trailer of "Little Fox Demon and the Demon Hunter"...

Learn the Marvel.

Draw skin!

The first series of Chinese films, a year in advance, said that it would be scheduled for April 26, just to tell everyone, 'Don't fight, May 1st, I'm contracted!'

It's really well-intentioned, if it says that it will set the National Day, there will be no need to fight for this year's National Day...

Set for July 21,...

That's impossible, "Transformers 3" was released that day, not because I'm afraid of him, but because it's not necessary...

"Guan Yunchang" was originally scheduled for May 2nd...

Why did you suddenly raise the gear?

Shen Mengxi really didn't figure out the operation of Shangying!

Why is it so showy?

"Shangying really blocked "Guan Yunchang" to April 26th... He... Where did they get the courage?"

Song Hang replied: "It may be the cast lineup, Jiang Wen + Donnie Yen..."

“... Is it Donnie Yen + Jiang Wen's "Guan Yunchang"?"

"Yes..."

"That's okay, don't worry about it, we'll promote and release it as usual..."

Shen Mengxi hung up the phone.

I didn't figure it out for a while, but now I understand, Shangying probably feels that after "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen has met the extent of killing gods and killing Buddhas.

"Painted Skin 3"...

I'm afraid of an egg, just front!

Shen Mengxi hasn't paid attention to the outside world for too long, and he still thinks that all movies are good stories with good actors, in fact, in today's Chinese film industry, the most traditional way of piling up stars is still very popular.

Jiang Wen + Donnie Yen, with the ace combination in hand, I am not afraid of anyone!

......

No. 5, in the lobby of a hotel in Shanghai, a "Lucky Key" celebration party is being held...

In the last 26 days, the box office was 430 million!

Mengxi's films rank second, second only to "Painted Skin 2", and the fourth in the history of Chinese films, second only to "Tangshan Earthquake", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Painted Skin 2"...

It is necessary to celebrate the whole banquet, and it can be regarded as an official announcement of the start of filming of "One Shot to the End"!

Therefore, in addition to the main creators of the crew and the company's personnel, Uncle Ge also came.

Uncle Ge's arrival directly attracted several reporters at the scene - of course there must be media at the celebration banquet, otherwise, would it be a dry celebration?

There has to be media publicity!

"I was going to take a break for a year, but Ning Hao's book is so good that it aroused the idea of acting..."

"Is the book good?"

"It's really good, it's a role I've never played before, I play a director..."

"Director, play-within-a-play?"

"Almost, you'll know when you see it..."

Uncle Ge is not the protagonist, and the reporters will not dominate the scene, and soon interviewed Ning Hao, Ning Hao exuded a pretending aura all over his body, anyway, no matter how he asked, he went back and forth: "I don't know much about the box office, I don't have any special ideas, if it's high, it's good." ”

Or, "I'm a director, I don't care about the box office, I don't understand the market ......"

According to public information, Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Pictures is also an investor in "Lucky Key", and the investment share is still quite a lot, the reporter asked him: "You yourself are not interested in the box office, but your Bad Monkey Studio is the third largest investor this time, and the amount of the box office is directly linked to the company's interests, right?"

"There are not much, the company researched in advance, analyzed a bunch of and said that this play should be profitable, Mengxi asked me to invest, let me mean, the value itself is not big, it is a matter of money. ”

Good hanging!

Shen Mengxi listened to all kinds of envy...

I seem to be pretending to be like this!

It's a pity that he's not a director ...

It's impossible to say, 'I don't understand the market, I'm just blind and shooting, I'll only make bad movies!'

As the helmsman of a film and television company, Shen Mengxi's character is forward-looking and powerful, professional and confident!

If he says that he doesn't understand the market, do you think the company's stock price will fall?

Of course, as for Ning Hao's so-called 'not much' is a self-humble statement, the bad monkey accounts for 15%, the profit share is also 15%, the box office is more than 300 million, and Ning Hao himself can also share 8% of the profit...

In other words, in the drama "Lucky Key", Ning Hao and the bad monkey took away at least 40 million in earnings!

After deducting costs, the total revenue is only 150 million...

If you deduct the dividends of other investors, such as Emperor, China Film, and actors, Tang Ren's investment profit may be less than 40 million!

Of course, we have to compensate the actors, Huang Bo, Yin Zheng, Yu Nan, and Tong Yali took this scene, and Huang Bo, who had the highest salary, was only 1 million, which was completely unworthy of the market price...

What the?

You said that the company's hard work to make a movie is not as good as Ning Hao's alone?

That's not how you settle accounts!

In the drama "Lucky Key", Tang Ren's market value has risen by nearly 20%, how much is this?
