The Marvel series really has nothing to say to Chinese fans.

The first "Iron Man" has been the first to be released in the mainland, and "Avengers 4" is also the first to be released in Chinese mainland.

However, why did you want to shoot "Shangqi"?

It doesn't matter, anyway, "The King of Kung Fu" relies on its topicality and star effect, at least enough to achieve the effect of grabbing money in the mainland!

Of course, in North America, the follow-up box office trend is a mess...

Think about it and think it's funny, the plot of "The King of Kung Fu" is obviously praising the old beauty, you carefully analyze: the Chinese are all waste, can't save their country and women, a white dick, no matter how much waste, are better than you Chinese, come is your savior, you all have to kneel and kowtow, the most beautiful beauty has to come up to send the force...

Isn't that so?

I didn't buy it when I took over the foreigner, and the fart slapped on the horse's hooves!

......

May 6th, 3 a.m., VIP lounge at Capital Airport.

Shen Mengxi led the crew of "Painted Skin", and almost two dozen people rested in the left corner...

A group of people have a clear purpose, that is, to go to Cannes to sell films!

At this time, Shen Mengxi really felt a pity, and he should spend some more money to find Zhang Ziyi or Gong Li.

The two of them are very famous in Cannes, they know a lot of people, and it is very convenient to sell films.

In contrast, Buffett Zhao and Zhou Xun are a cut behind!

Brother Xun is better, she won the Best Actress at the Paris International Film Festival, and Buffett Zhao doesn't seem to have been nominated for any awards in Europe...

Oh, they came together, I heard that they were going to Cannes, and they were ready to go...

Chen Kun seems to be in retreat, and I heard that he was in a bad mood because of "Flower Police"...

Shen Mengxi and Zhao Jinsong chatted about the strategy on the side...

Selling film strategy.

It's the first time they've ever played in Cannes...

"I asked Xijie and Tokyo Pictures in advance, and they all held a drinking party and then promoted the film..."

"Won't that cost a lot?"

Spend...

It's definitely big, and during the Cannes Film Festival, everything is going up in price, and it's said that a medium-sized drinking party will cost at least $1 million or more...

Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment, and then replied: "... Let's talk about it over there, in the past two years of financial crisis, only China and the United States have made blockbusters in the world, and I think this is an opportunity, we may be able to sell the distribution rights in many regions..."

"Small profits, quick turnover?"

"yes, but our focus is on the U.S. market, I talked to McKanna of Twentieth Century Fox about Painted Skin, and she's interested... Let's focus on her!"

"McKana, a woman?"

"Yes, in her forties, David said she has a philatelic fetish, you can try it..."

"Philatelic?"

"It's just..."

Li Yiping reluctantly interjected: "Boss, you'll know when you get there, there is a special store, let's rent a booth first and do some basic sales, of course, if you want to sell at a good price, you have to hold a banquet and invite several famous film dealers over..."

She has soaked in overseas sales before, so she has a little experience...

“... That, listen to you. ”

Zhao Jinsong returned to normal: ""Ip Man" arrived in Cannes the day after tomorrow, and then came to meet us!"

Shen Mengxi nodded, and then said: "I estimate that the overseas copyright of "Ip Man" may be better than that of "Painted Skin"!"

"Why?"

""Ip Man" is a kung fu movie, and the only type of Chinese film that goes international is kung fu film. ”

"But the story of 'Painted Skin' is famous throughout Southeast Asia..."

"According to what you say, Confucius is famous all over the world, should we make "Confucius"?"

Zhao Jinsong and Li Yiping had a heated discussion, Shen Mengxi looked at the side, Buffett Zhao and Zhou Xun were chatting in a whisper, he walked over, it turned out that he was talking about the box office of "The King of Kung Fu"...

"It is claimed to be 400 million to build, and it is estimated that it is a loss!"

"I feel like I'm losing too..."

"You think too much, the cost of this film is not high, it seems to cost more than 40 million dollars... Li Lianjie and Cheng Long didn't ask for a salary, and the salary was converted into an investment!"

Shen Mengxi sat down: "How can it be a loss, Lionsgate spent $45 million to buy out the North American distribution rights, and it has already paid back, and the current box office is a net profit!"

After a pause, he added: "... However, if you count the salary, it will definitely be a loss!"

Li Lianjie's salary is $10 million, and a few years later, he starred in "The Expendables", with a price of $5 million, and Cheng Long was at least $12 million...

Coupled with the salaries of these two, even if "The King of Kung Fu" sells 128 million US dollars worldwide, it will be guaranteed at most, and the subsequent operation through the window period may be able to make a little profit.

So, "King of Kung Fu 2" is gone...

"I really can't figure out how this movie is so naïve..."

"Shoot it out and coax foreigners to play... Hey, someone's coming!"

Someone came, and it was a regiment, Jia Zhangke led the team "Tale of Twenty-four Cities" to push the door and walked in...

It was a little embarrassing to meet unexpectedly, especially when Lao Jia was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and Shen Mengxi and his gang ran to do business.

Obviously not all the way!

Eye contact, after a few seconds, Zhou Xun and Buffett Zhao stood up, said 'Director Jia', and walked over with a smile...

Shen Mengxi looked at the people on the opposite side, Chen Jianbing was there, and he also stood up...

is still the same sentence, they all eat the bowl of rice of the movie, look down and don't look up to see it, and you have to pass it on face!

What kind of person is Shen Mengxi?

Only commercial films?

No, he's a typical lover of narrative genre films, and besides, he's a bit of a grunge...

So, he hates the New Wave!

Why?

For a very simple reason, these people are so easy to become known...

Completely convinced of the West - they lost everything, but they had freedom!

Or, 'No one knows art film better than I do!'

Lao Jia probably also knows some of Shen Mengxi's remarks - as early as last year's interview, he publicly said that he didn't like the so-called sixth generation...

So, the two simply said hello and separated...

......

On the plane, Zhao Jinsong asked Shen Mengxi in a low voice: "Boss, do you want to make a few literary films?"

"Don't do it!"

“... Don't think about it?"

Shen Mengxi didn't open his eyes, and replied casually: "Don't think about it, the times have changed, there is no market for Chinese literary films at home and abroad, last year's "Night Train", "Golden Brilliant", and "Lifting from the Dust" films, all the overseas copyrights were smashed, and the loss was a mess, which shows that the overseas market's interest in Chinese literary and artistic films is decreasing! Foreigners are not good at fooling now!"

Zhao Jinsong sighed and simply shut up.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shen Mengxi's voice suddenly came from beside him: "Actually, Cannes, Venice, and the Berlin Film Festival are all products of the Western film order.
