Shen Mengxi didn't lie, he did have something.

To be precise, when he came to Xi'an, the propaganda was only incidental, mainly because Lao Yan had something to do with him.

Lao Yan is really his first connection in the circle, if you arrange the network table, Yan Yiyun should be the first in line!

Without Lao Yan, it would be impossible for him to participate in "Underground Transportation Station", let alone get to know Yingzhuang...

Without Lao Yan, when "Sister Love" was released, there would not be so many celebrities on Shen Mengxi's side;

Even the project of "Painted Skin" may not go so smoothly!

Lao Yan said that he wanted to see him, Shen Mengxi must have flown over...

......

made an appointment at Shen's house, when Shen Mengxi arrived home, Lao Yan hadn't come yet, and it was rare to go home, Shen Mengxi was warmly entertained, and his mother specially left him turtle soup...

Goji berry turtle soup has the effects of nourishing yin and latent yang, replenishing deficiency and correcting it...

It really is!

I'm not kidney-deficient, so why should I?

But the soft-shelled turtle tastes good.

Shen's mother leaned over: "Son, I heard that you have made a lot of money in this movie?"

Shen Mengxi replied cautiously: "... I will earn more than 10 million, which is not as good as selling books!"

The overseas copyright income of "People in Embarrassment" is about zero, and it can only be counted on the mainland to share the account.

box office revenue, audio-visual copyright and TV copyright, the latter two plus a maximum of 5 million, or based on the premise that the box office of "People in Embarrassment" exceeds 50 million!

One thing is good, the copyright income goes to Dream Creek Studios.

As for the big head, the box office is divided, deducting the 18% distribution agency fee drawn by China Film, the 3 million paid in advance for publicity, and the cost of 4 million, and the rest of the money is divided in half with Mingxi Company, taking the box office of 60 million as an example, he can only get less than 8 million...

Therefore, the phrase 'not as much as the money you make from selling books' is not a joke, it is true!

The royalties of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" this year are at least 20 million.

"More than 10 million, not satisfied? I heard that it would be good for the Western Film Studio to have a film with a profit of more than 1 million all year round!"

"People are state-owned enterprises, even if they lose money, they have the above allocation, how can I compare? I make movies in a small workshop, I don't make money, and my subordinates drink the northwest wind?"

"I'm not complimenting you on how good you are!"

“... Thank you..."

Mother Shen suddenly changed the topic: "Are you still in touch with the girl from the old Chen family?"

Old Chen's family?

Chen Dong... White Soldiers...

“... No, I've been as busy as my grandson for the past six months, and I don't have time to fall in love!"

"I'm telling you..."

Once Shen's mother speaks, the tone particle is 'I'll tell you', followed by a bunch of words, Shen Mengxi only needs to nod yes, as for the content, it is all about urging marriage anyway, and there is nothing new in the content!

It's enjoyable, Shen's mother left, Shen's father sat down again, and Shen Mengxi took the lead: "Dad, isn't the Western Film Studio reorganized?"

"Yes, it's called Western Film Group now!"

After a pause, Shen's father said again: "Teacher Yan is looking for you, probably for the sake of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!"

“... I don't sell copyrights!"

"Why don't you sell it?"

Shen Mengxi put down the bowl: "First of all, the theme of ghost blowing the lantern is not easy to shoot, and if it is not good, it will touch the red line; secondly, this kind of adventure-oriented story requires large-scale special effects, and it cannot be shot without 200 million yuan, and the current domestic film market, with an investment of more than 100 million, it is impossible to recover the cost; and..."

"Colombia wants to do it together with Western Film Studios, mainly relying on overseas markets!"

“... Colombia has long been acquired by Sony, I don't believe them anymore..."

Seeing that he couldn't talk about his son, Shen's father said, "When Teacher Yan comes, you can talk to him yourself!"

......

In the original time and space, Hollywood really filmed "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", well, it was "Nine-Story Demon Tower", at first the Americans took it and prepared to shoot it, but then gave up and transferred it to director Lu Chuanda.

Why?

I don't know, maybe it's because there are too many censorship requirements...

Lao Yan came, and sure enough, he mentioned "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"...

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "Filming the American version, the packaging, story, and actors have to be replaced with American, which is unacceptable to me." The feng shui, tomb robbery and other elements in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are closely related to traditional oriental culture, and Hollywood can't understand these things!"

"We can also be part of the production!"

"Teacher Yan, you watched me grow up, you should know me, Western filmmakers really can't shoot Chinese themes, and they don't make it descript, I stayed in the United States for two months some time ago, and I had communication with them, and the difference in consciousness is too far, I can't distinguish between chivalry and heroism, I don't understand the rivers and lakes, and they can't understand the nonsense of yin and yang feng shui hunting into gypsy-like gods and witches, they have no way to understand!"

After thinking about it, Shen Mengxi added: "The film "The True Color of Heroes", you should understand, I talked to several American filmmakers, and they agreed that this is a film with strong gay metaphors!"

"With... Gay?"

"Hmm!"

Yan Yiyun sighed: "I originally wanted to contribute to Xiying!"

“... Don't worry, when the time is ripe, I will definitely set up a project, and find Western Film Studio to cooperate with the filming!"

"When will that wait?"

"I'll do the math... 2010 is almost ready for the project!"

“... Okay, I'll say something else!" Yan Yiyun's expression became serious: "Do you have a collaboration with DreamWorks?"

"Well, the rights to the American version of "Red Lotus" were sold to DreamWorks..."

"I'm talking about another one... What is it called 'Labyrinth'..."

Shen Mengxi reminded: "Moving Maze"!"

"Yes, "Moving Maze", or Spielberg as the producer?"

"That's what it was, it's not like Spielberg didn't keep the door open, I took the copyright back, and now I'm working with Warner Bros...."

"It's good that you know he didn't keep the door on his lips," Yan Yiyun nodded: "Now the perception of him is very bad, how to deal with it has to wait for the notice!"

Shen Mengxi hurriedly nodded: "Well, I know." ”

“... Alright, that's all, I'll go first..."

Just these two things, as for meeting alone?

Can't you say it on the phone?

Shen Mengxi got up and wanted to see him off, and then thought of something: "By the way, Teacher Yan..."Special Warfare Pioneer"?"

"You said that anti-Japanese TV series?"

"Yes!"

"We agreed to work together, who do you want to go to, director?"

"How is Chen Haowei? His "Broken Arrow" is very feeling!"

“... Okay, you can contact him..."

Yan Yiyun is really a Shaanxi man, he just goes, he doesn't have nostalgia at all, and he doesn't mention the role issue, but Shen Mengxi has to think carefully about the role arrangement of "Special Warfare Pioneer", that is, "Snow Leopard"...

First of all, Wen Chang definitely can't be used.

He doesn't know him either...

Secondly, if you don't use Wenzhang, who is appropriate?

Gotta find an actor with male hormones!

Just thinking about it, the phone rang again, this time it was Kim Yingmin who dialed, first laughed, congratulated "People in Embarrassment" on the box office hit, and then said that Han Geng had been given a three-day vacation and could participate in the promotion...

He is also quite concerned about the box office situation of "People in Embarrassment"...

The news of breaking 30 million has only been sent out for a short time...

But again, does it make sense for you to let Han Geng come over now?
