Chapter 391: In the Spotlight (2/5)

Dream Creek Studios has set up two new independent film production companies, one is called Bren House, which specializes in producing $3 million to $15 million horror films, and "Human Eradication Project" and "Latent" are all classified in this company...

The next one is to create "Split" and the "Happy Death Day" series.

Why is it called Bren House because the executive manager is Jason Bren.

This guy is very powerful, the original time and space, it is he who created "Deadly Gift", "Get Out of Desperate Town", "Burst Drummer" and other low-cost hits!

Shen Mengxi admired him very much, and took the initiative to let David find him and co-founded Buren House;

After the establishment of Bren House, the first movie produced "A Quiet Place" exploded!

Costing $13 million, it grossed $52 million in North America in its opening weekend, grossed $140 million in three weeks of release, and is forecast to gross-total at least $190 million...

Not only shocked Hollywood, but even the producer Bren House didn't expect it;

The other is called S Studio, which is positioned as the same as A-24, producing independent literary films, "127 Hours" and "Buried Alive" are the company's first works!

Both companies play at a low to medium cost.

This production cost is carefully calculated.

Within this range, even if the movie is smashed and not released, it can barely recoup the cost just by selling the copyright to major websites, and more than a dozen movies are produced every year, most of which suffer a slight loss, but there are always one or two hits, and you can get dozens of times the income.

The question is, the studio has just been established, where can I find so many high-quality projects?

Shen Mengxi is not Meg Ellison, so he can not treat money as money...

The first generation is really much worse than the second generation...

Therefore, Nancy proposed "Dallas Buyers Club", and Shen Mengxi was quite surprised, because he knew about this movie.

“... The news was a sensation at the time, and no one adapted it?"

"In the mid-'90s, Dennis Hope had planned to bring the story to the screen, and Woody Harrelson played Wooddown, but no one invested in him. Brad Pitt and director Mark Foster also planned to make this film, but it didn't take shape, and the other interested pair was Ryan Gosling and director Craig Gillespe..."

"Why not?"

"The probability of this theme being a blockbuster is too small..."

"The cost is controlled at about 5 million US dollars, and there is still a probability to make money!"

Nancy shrugged: "That's the problem, Brad Pitt's salary is at least $15 million!"

"Well..."

Shen Mengxi nodded, and then said, "Let's put it first, you ask Michael Fassbender and Matthew McConaughey if they are interested in taking on this project..."

Michael Fassbender, a mad actor, played Sands, the leader of the Northern Ireland Revolutionary Army who died of hunger strike for 66 days, determined and paranoid, and skinny in the last days of his life...

The physical torture is even more Matthew than Bell...

"Okay, I'll get in touch... By the way, "Carol" was released in China..."

"It's a bit difficult to do, it's really not good, and online on-demand can also be used!"

Nancy nodded, then smiled, and Liu Yifei walked over, holding a red wine glass: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Mengxi: "I'm talking about the Oscars..."

"Oscar?"

"Carol is this year's award film, and the goal is of course the Oscars, do you think that if you win Cannes, we will be satisfied?"

......

Eh, after the young lady won the Cannes film, what do you say about this?

Gong Li's Venice in 92, Cannes in 94, Venice in Xia Yu in 94, Berlin in Xiao Fangfang in 95, Cannes in Liang Chaowei in 2000, Berlin in 92 and Cannes in 04...

For decades, there have been a total of 7 performance trophies!

Liu Yifei brushed another Cannes, which can be described as winning glory for the country, but her nationality is the United States...

This incident has become the climax point of many black fans.

In the spotlight, a lot of things become sensitive.

Fans who supported her said, 'Even American nationality is Chinese, and she won awards on behalf of Chinese!'

'Nationality doesn't mean everything, she is called a 'Chinese actress' in Hollywood and Europe, and the media calls her 'Chinese actress'!"

The disgusted ones said: 'Nationality does not mean everything, heh, this is as ridiculous as science without borders!' Qian Xuesen has been imprisoned for three years after returning to China, do you say there are no borders?'

'No Chinese whose backbone has not yet bent will give up their Chinese citizenship!'

'Personally, I think Chinese nationality is still very important!'

"Carol is an American movie! I don't understand what an American would like to climax when an American wins an award for an American movie!"

I think Liu Yifei was born in China, grew up in China, and made money in China. When you look back and find that she is Chinese from the inside out, only her nationality has changed, don't you feel panicked?"

Actually, these people have a point!

In the early years, there was a big gap between China and Western countries, and rich people liked to immigrate and change their nationality, and foreign status was very popular at that time...

The young lady is indeed a little flattering...

This matter is easy to solve, just change the nationality back!

Anyway, in Lao Mei's opinion, you are an East Asian, and people don't treat you as their own...

And because of the nationality, it is boycotted by many extreme ethnic people in the mainland, and the two sides are not pleased!

even affected Shen Mengxi, and many people suspected that he was also an American citizen...

......

Hotel.

Shen Mengxi pointed to a bunch of news on the Internet: "Look, I'll just say that your nationality will be a scourge sooner or later!"

Seeing a bunch of netizens discussing on Tianya, the young lady was shocked...

“... Why do they say that?"

"Black, do you still need a reason?" Shen Mengxi said disdainfully: "Yang Zhenning is a traitor in their mouths, you are an artist, and you don't take it seriously!"

"And nationality is really not a trivial matter!"

Shen Mengxi gave two examples: "The Mongolian filmed "Ten Warriors" tells the story of a small team of warriors who did not fail in their mission during the Western Expedition, and invited Barson to star. The plot of the movie is average, but it is also considered to be the best Mongolian film in terms of atmosphere, actors' acting skills and pictures.

After the results came out, they were boycotted by Mongolian netizens because: Bason is Chinese, how can a Chinese represent Mongolians? Chinese mixed blood is dirty and treason is not Mongolian! This movie is a mess at the Mongolian box office..."

"You don't know "Ten Warriors", but you know "Tom Yum Gong", right?"

The young lady nodded.

"Jin Xing starred in "Tom Yum Gong" that year, she played the villain, and then the movie was boycotted by the Koreans... said that she was a "compatriot", holding a Chinese nationality, forgetting her ancestors and insulting South Korea...

Actually, this movie has nothing to do with Koreans.

Jin Xing did not reveal that he was of Korean nationality in it, but always wore a cheongsam in and out of Chinatown. But the poster says Korean...

Koreans are excited, this movie has been removed from the shelves in South Korea!"

"I think you better change your nationality back, the contradictions between China and the United States will definitely expand, and the mediation space of Chinese Americans will be compressed!"

......

At the airport, Shen Mengxi just came out and was caught by a bunch of reporters.

"Mengxi, congratulations on winning the award first, let's talk about how you feel now!"

"Mengxi, Miss Liu Yifei's acceptance speech said that you are her fiancé, are you engaged?"

"Mengxi, I heard that the overseas copyright sales this time are going well, and the overseas copyright of "Painted Skin 2" is tight by more than 20 million US dollars, is it true?

Surrounded by groups, Shen Mengxi had no choice but to pause.

"Of course I'm happy that "Heart Labyrinth" won the award, the specific release date should be August, and it has to be revised twice..."

"Indeed engaged..."

"The overseas copyright sales are okay, "Painted Skin 2" has basically recovered its costs, in addition, "The Watchers" and "My Girlhood" are also full of harvests, and the overseas copyright income of "Heart Labyrinth", I am very satisfied anyway..."

It's just, asking a question, answering a sentence like this.

"Some netizens doubt your nationality..."

"What's there to doubt about this, I'm a native of China..."

"Many people say that Liu Yifei winning the award does not represent China's honor, what do you think?"

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Why can't you represent?"

"Because she's American..."

", she changed back to Chinese nationality last year, and I accompanied her to change it!"
