Chapter 74: Meeting (4/5)
Why is it called Sister Tianxian?
In addition to the role being deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the main thing is that the temperament is dusty...
The young lady is not suitable for characters who have too strong a fireworks smell.
What is the smell of fireworks?
is the kind of short drama series in the parents, a typical example is "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law"...
You let her try!
Just thinking about it makes me feel a sense of disobedience!
I don't know what she thinks, how she went to take over the filming of "Chinese Widow"...
Ahem...
However, "Ex Machina" is really suitable for her, with a straight face from beginning to end, and then there are seven dialogues in the whole play, which is full of philosophical flavor:
Every meeting between the male and female protagonists is actually a philosophical proposition, and the dialogue of the film is very interesting, with the help of test robots to explore human emotions and instincts, and through the behavior of robots and humans, it forms a very ironic contrast.
Niche films, especially avant-garde expressions, once they arouse interest, you think it's really awesome!
For example, "This Man is from Earth", many people think it is a masterpiece, and they also spread rumors that it will sell for $300 million in the world...
Similarly, if you don't like it, you find it very boring:
"The whole kernel is empty and pale, and the concept is dirty, and there is still a face to say what is the masterpiece of the year?"
"The plot is as slow as a dog, and the lines can't hold up. The whole process is a kind of embarrassment that wants to play deep and can't play well, pretending to be very philosophical but not expressing bullshit. ”
After reading the comments, mainly bad reviews, the young lady was a little angry, and looked up and asked Shen Mengxi: "What do you think of "Mechanical Queen"?"
Shen Mengxi is brushing Weibo, mainly reviewing the rumor-mongering method of the White Lotus team - that is, to find self-media to break the news.
A photo of a Macau casino is a gambling addiction.
Netizens are really easy to deceive, when they saw the photo, they hurriedly left a message: Save the evidence, keep it for slapping your face in the future, and see who will dare to say that this man is living at home in the future!
Alas, looking back a few years later, Dong's ex-wife's only positive role proved that Lao Pan really has no black spots.
They have been in the same bed for several years, and it is impossible not to catch black material.
Otherwise, once it is caught, it is impossible not to release the strength of the White Lotus team to step on the pillow person to death with all their strength.
The result: a rumor of a gamble with no evidence. He was also convicted by the court of false accusations...
decided, first find Lao Pan to make a movie, make his image a little more mature, and then hand over "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to him!
was wandering in the sky, and suddenly heard the young lady speak, and quickly responded: "Huh?"
“... What do you think of Ex Machina?"
"That's good, $14 million to shoot this effect, what else do you want?"
The young lady was very satisfied, and then asked again: "What would you do if you made this movie?"
"Me?"
"Yes!"
"Scale magnification point... Ava's design clearly has other uses, but it doesn't mention anything, but explores the relationship between artificial intelligence and humans..."
Glancing at the young lady, Shen Mengxi simply told the truth: "If I am given an artificial intelligence like you, I can do it seven or eight times a day, how can I have time to discuss intelligence!"
“... You're dirty!"
"I'm sorry, that's what most men think!"
The young lady looked at his smug smile, and her eyes rolled: "You just said how many times a day to do it?"
"Seven..."Shen Mengxi instantly woke up: "... I'll just casually say that I'm a normal human being, and I can't do it seven or eight times a day!"
"Tsk... I used to have three meals a day, but now it's one meal a day, and I have to beg you for extra meals..."
"Look down on whom!"
I was forced to go to Liangshan!
Shen Mengxi hugged the young lady who was more than 100 pounds...
......
The series "Tai Chi" must have been a fiasco!
With an investment of 220 million yuan and a luxurious publicity, the box office of two films plus one is less than 180 million, even if the copyright operation is added, the recovery cost is less than 80 million!
It is the most loss-making project since the establishment of Huayi.
What's even more embarrassing is that when I was selling films last year, the main focus was Li Lian - Li Lian had already withdrawn from the project!
Is the copyright sold to be recovered?
If you don't take it back, can Huayi go to Cannes to sell films in the future?
After all, this matter is related to the company's reputation.
Caught in a dilemma.
Chen Guofu felt a sense of frustration...
At the beginning, it was a project that he decided to make: What are you afraid of, I will gamble with you, and I will bear the responsibility!
If you mess up a big investment, even if you don't have it in Hollywood, you will be to blame for resigning.
Fortunately, there is also the lifesaver of "1942"...
Therefore, Chen Guofu, including the Huayi brothers, all had high hopes for "1942", and then let them calculate an account: 43% of the account sharing seems to be a bit too low, even according to the account sharing led by Shen Mengxi, 1 billion box office, "1942" has a maximum of 400 million yuan, deducting the cost, it is not enough to make up for the loss of "Tai Chi"...
What to do?
Chen Guofu discussed with Huang Zhonglei: Continue to close down the theater chain and make profits!
The wool comes out of the sheep!
Of course, it is impossible for him to be like Zhang Weiping, stupidly and directly send a message saying, 'Attention to the major theaters, my movie needs 2% more account...'
He is ready to unite with major studios to force the theater chain to make profits.
This year is a good opportunity - there are no imported films in the Lunar New Year file, and a few mainland companies are just fighting themselves.
The first thing to be done is Shen Mengxi.
If Shen Mengxi doesn't agree, then the alliance can't be connected at all...
- He has at least a dozen movies in his hand that can be released at any time!
If he doesn't agree, and then falls to the theater, then...
I can't imagine it!
However, due to the identity of his predecessors, it was impossible for Huang Zhonglei to visit Shen Mengxi in person, so he called Qin Hong and said his thoughts.
Of course, Qin Hong promised 10,000 ——— "The King's Feast" cost more than 120 million...
That's the case, the initial production cost of the "King's Feast" project was 60 million, and later because of Director Lu's various overruns and delays in passing the trial, Qin Hong invested more and smashed at least 80 million, and the remaining funding gap was either paid by the coal boss or Director Lu's girlfriend to help pay in advance...
In any case, "The King's Feast" needs at least 300 million box office to recover its costs...
If the theater chain makes more profits, it will be more likely to recover costs.
Therefore, the task of running errands was handed over to Qin Hong...
Qin Hong is also a decisive master, and after listening to the suggestion, he directly called Shen Mengxi and asked him to meet.
......
From the perspective of a filmmaker, Shen Mengxi likes a gold owner like Qin Hong very much.
It's refreshing to give money, and I don't care too much about the filming process, so that the director can play freely...
Belch...
Rich Kaiko!
Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts", the investor is Qin Hong's Xingmei, and when it comes to "The King's Feast" directed by Lu Chuan, the investor is still Qin Hong!
Why are you willing to pay?
Maybe really love movies?
Well, in fact, it's because there is a Xingmei Cinema Line in hand, and it is too wasteful not to do upstream channels!
But he really doesn't know how to make movies...
So, I have been deceived many times...
From this point of view, Shen Mengxi is quite worthy of him - "Big Man" and "Walking with God" are all starry...
