Chapter 226: Splitting Accounts (4/5)
Publicity, distribution, in fact, is hype!
The glamorous current propaganda team is immature and conservative...
It's no wonder that the films made from the glamorous start are all well-known Hong Kong films such as "Wounded City" and "Fuse", and the publicity is very good, for example, "Wounded City": Lau Wai-keung, Mak Siu-fai, Zhuang Wenqiang, "Iron Triangle" cooperates again;
Make bad movies, they have no experience!
It wasn't until 10 years that I groped for a way, and that was hype!
Shameless hype, for example, "The Strongest Happy Event", played the most capable slogan in the universe...
"Wolf Teeth" itself is of poor quality, and the story is too simple: the killer Abu killed an underworld boss and took his head, met the policewoman Xiaohe on the road, and the killer, the police, and the gangster competed, and finally Abu died to save Xiaohe...
Why did Wu Jing direct such a film and create such an image?
The story of "Wolf Teeth" is actually very similar to Gu Long's: we only know that his name is Abu, he is from the grassland, he has a wolf tooth tied around his neck, his kung fu skills are very good, what is better than kung fu is the amount of food, he is single, he asks himself every day if he will die, he thinks about whether he will go to hell, and we don't even know if he is a killer.
Mysterious, good kung fu, unsmiling, cherishing food...
Isn't this Ah Fei!
That's right, what Wu Jing wanted to create at this time was the image of an ancient dragon...
But in "Wolf Teeth", what he did was to fight violence with violence!
Partial chivalry...
If he is really a killer, taking tasks and making money, then ** is good-looking, when he gets involved in the identity and field of chivalry, he must face the responsibility of the law.
In modern society, countering violence with violence and killing a wicked person is also a heinous crime.
- Stopping crime is the job of the police, and society no longer needs you knights.
Therefore, even if you touch "Ip Man", the box office of "Wolf Teeth" in the first weekend is still only 11 million...
Wu Jing, I have to continue to search...
Of course, it is much better than the original time and space - the original time and space, the box office of "Wolf Teeth" did not reach 5 million!
......
After the release of "Wolf Teeth", "Foreseeing the Future", "Women Are Not Bad", "Prelude to Marriage", "Love Left and Right", and "Lightning Dog" were released one after another...
"Mei Lanfang" does not have an absolute advantage in addition to film scheduling.
Far less than the release of "Wu Ji" that year, major theaters across the country only lined up the costumes of "Wu Ji"...
After all, theaters also have to eat, your movie is garbage, and you can't attract the audience to buy tickets, so I'll cut you to schedule films!
Dream Creek Company, Lounge, Window Position.
Shen Mengxi held the weekly box office report in his hand, and his mood...
Very relaxing!
If you do distribution, you can't lose any money, as long as you don't spend too much publicity money - "Wolf Teeth" smashed 5 million, and at present, it is not a problem to recover it!
Sitting opposite sat Zhao Jinsong and Song Hang...
Song Hang was newly hired by Zhao Jinsong, and they helped take care of Mengxi's film business...
"The current situation, cooking oil with fire, each fighting its own one, is waiting for a heavyweight film to appear!"
"..."Do Not Disturb If You Are Honest"!"
"Is it okay to do not disturb if you are not honest?"
"It's not a big problem, Feng Xiaogang + Ge You have already formed a brand!"
"How do I feel that Uncle Ge and Shu Qi are not compatible?"
Shen Mengxi couldn't help but interject: "Nonsense, Uncle Ge can be with anyone!"
Zhao Jinsong smiled: "... Our boss has always wanted to invite Uncle Ge to star in the movie!"
Song Hang's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"I'm going to do that, but not now..."
The script has not been decided, and the director has not yet...
How to cooperate?
"Boss, how do you think "Tracking" should be changed?"
"There is no need for a major change, the camera is a little more high-end, the background is in Shanghai, and the police can't die, what we want to talk about is the refreshing feeling of commercial films!"
“... But in this way, it's not easy to pass the trial!"
"What's so bad about this? The police fight the bandits, and the police win... You Naihai can shoot, why can't we shoot?"
"What about the director?"
Shen Mengxi was silent for a while, and then said, "... Looking for a Hong Kong director... If you are obedient, you really can't do it, you can find a Korean director!"
Ma Dan, directors who are suitable for action and crime movies in the mainland are really rare!
The five hundred of "Big Man" have not yet debuted, and Yang Qing of "Hot Pot Hero" is still a little immature...
I can only find a Hong Kong director or a Korean director, but the Hong Kong director has honey confidence, so forget it...
"How do you come up with the idea of making a crime movie?"
“... Well, you're talking about at least three movies a year, otherwise, people think we're not making movies!"
There's really nothing good about genre films...
Although there are a lot of scripts that can explode in my hands, I have to wait for the market to expand!
For example, if you say "Charlotte's Troubles", if it is filmed, it will be good if it can sell for 80 million at this stage...
The idea of "Tracking" is very good, the police and bandits duel, and the galaxy shoots a sense of fate...
But the Korean version of "The Watchers" takes the popcorn route, coupled with the rhythm of the mature narrative system, the influence of the former is completely exploded!
Shen Mengxi is ready to take the Korean version of the route, partial popcorn, the actors are all from the mainland, and then Yang Qing is arranged as the assistant director...
If you don't want to be a box office hit, if you can have 50 million, you can count it as a success!
As for the production cost...
Xijie and Fox have always wanted to invest in Shen Mengxi's projects in China, so let's give them the opportunity this time!
It's good to use other money to train your own soldiers!
......
"Snow Leopard" has been bought by Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen Satellite TV, and Shenzhen Satellite TV for the second round of broadcast rights, and it will be broadcast at the beginning of the year. ”
"What's the price?"
"000,000 single episodes!"
300,000...
30×40×4=48 million...
"How much did we sell in the first round?"
"The first round is half sold and half given, with a single episode of 150,000..."
There are 150,000 for a single episode, Shaanxi and Beijing stations, and there are also 12 million for two stations plus one piece!
“... Not bad!"
Shen Mengxi is quite satisfied!
After all, the cost of "Snow Leopard" is less than 25 million, and it is filmed in cooperation with Western Film Studio, as a partner, Western Film Studio can share 20%...
The rest is enough!
There are still three rounds of broadcast rights that have not been taken out...
Making a drama itself is more complicated than making a movie, not about the production process, but about those rules that are light or dark!
In the TV drama industry chain, TV stations are in an absolutely strong position, with CCTV as the most, followed by Shangxing Satellite TV, and then local stations.
Almost every TV station has its own stable partners, and it is extremely difficult for newcomers to get a piece of the pie.
To make TV series, in addition to relying on quality, having a relationship is the last word.
Therefore, Shen Mengxi's first drama "Double-sided Tape" wants to cooperate with Teacher Huang Lei and Hualu Baina, which is to use their connections!
"Snow Leopard" also cooperates with Western Film Studio - what I want is stability, if the market performance of "Snow Leopard" is average, then package and sell it to Shaanxi Taiwan...
"The Temptation of Going Home", Mango Channel will be exclusively introduced, and the copyright will be bought out!"
“... I know this, they were very optimistic about this show... How much does it cost?"
Shen Mengxi cares about the price, not which station...
Zhao Jinsong: "580,000 for a single episode!"
"Why is it only 580,000? Mango Terrace is too stingy!"
