The hot pot restaurant has a strong atmosphere.

Zhang Xiaobei asked, "Mengxi, why didn't you go to the seminar?"

Shen Mengxi: "It's boring, I'm too lazy to go..."

The seminar is to listen to the big guys from all walks of life, no, it should be to make suggestions for the development of Chinese films...

What's there to offer?

Take care of it a little more, support the policy, and the movie will be up immediately!

Never underestimate the creativity of Chinese filmmakers!

Even if it's a false boom with just a good number, it's prosperity at best.

"'Stone' is really good..."

"We're going to do an appreciation of "Stone"!"

Shen Mengxi: "That's good... But can a film last for one period?"

"So, we need a little bit of inside information!"

"Ask, know everything!"

"First of all, it's an investment, is it really less than 4 million?"

"To be exact, it is 3.8 million, producer Yu Guangguang signed an agreement with Ning Hao with a gentleman, and he will give 3 million, just care about the progress, regardless of the content, so Ning Hao filmed very freely, and finally overspent 500,000, and Ning Hao paid for it himself. ”

"Then how did you get the investment rights?"

Shen Mengxi hesitated, but still replied: "... I'll be honest, the Hong Kong producers can't understand the mainland market at all, they don't think "Stone" is awesome, I bid 2 million to buy half of the investment... But there's no need to say these things in the show, you just say that Andy Lau appreciates me, and we will cooperate on works on the theme of the Three Kingdoms in the future..."

"The theme of "Three Kingdoms"?"

"It's a TV series, don't worry, the novel is still being created..."

Hearing this, a few of them nodded...

It is natural to think that this creator is Shen Mengxi...

"I seem to have heard that when Ning Hao got the place of Asian Rising Star Director, he wanted to make a "Red Racing"?"

"Yes, but not enough money... Don't worry, he should be able to shoot "Red Racing" in the future, and he should change the name to "Crazy Racing"... It's still a multi-line narrative, and now I'm going to go home and go through the script!"

"And how much money do you make?"

"We have earned a mainland box office account, a mainland copyright account... The investors in Hong Kong have made a lot of money, in fact, the Asian New Star Guide is the initiative of Star TV, Mr. Andy Lau is the spokesperson on the card, the works of the "New Star Guide" plan, the TV rights have been sold to Star TV from the beginning, and they have obtained a very stable income, plus other countries such as Japan have also sold the distribution rights, and they have long achieved breakeven..."

"The distribution rights of Japanese benzene were negotiated later, and a new star director has a Taiwanese director Li Yunchan's "Mermaid Blossoms" shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival, which was successfully distributed to Japanese benzene, and drove the distributor to buy six "new star director" films. ”

"So much behind the scenes?"

"Of course, in addition to vision, luck is also very important in making movies!"

Here, it was almost Shen Mengxi's special session, several people took turns to ask questions, and he answered...

At the same time, a private restaurant in Beijing, Jiang Nan's reunion with classmates, she became the core figure, and she enjoyed similar treatment to Shen Mengxi, and they were all asking her questions...

The inside scoop on "Painted Skin"...

"Do you really want to make Painted Skin?"

Jiang Nan replied: "Well, we have invested 8 million in the early stage, and we invited the character concept and the concept of the original painting designed by the Japanese benzene painting master Yoshitaka Amano... Several special effects companies were invited to participate in the script discussion, what to do... Scene modeling, yes, that's the word!"

"How much does that cost?"

"Mengxi said that it would be at least 90 million..."

Jiang Yiyan, who was sitting opposite her, sighed: "It's really rich!"

Jiang Nan hurriedly explained: "We didn't spend any money, it was all investment, we produced scripts, creative teams, actors..."

"That's... Can they agree to invest?"

“... Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"That's right, if you lose money on such a big project, what will the company do?"

Zhou Yang helped explain: "Investing in movies is a kind of gambling in itself, and the real reaction of the market is completely unpredictable!"

Liu Yifei listened to the discussion of his classmates, and his mood was very delicate...

In the past, she was the core figure, and the party revolved around her, but now, Jiang Nan has become the hostess...

Of course, she has a good relationship with Jiang Nan and is like a sister, but she is still a little cautious...

Jiang Nan noticed Liu Tianxian's lonely eyes, and hurriedly said, "Qianqian, how is your new album?"

"Me?" The classmates all looked at themselves, and Liu Tianxian replied: "It's okay, the producer is Mr. Mitsuyue Otomo, and he is also a top producer in Japan..."

"Is your focus now on music?"

"No, I'm working on a Hollywood-level production right now..."

"Hollywood-level?"

"What film?"

"Are you the heroine?"

In an instant, the classmates asked a bunch of questions, and Liu Tianxian bit his lip: "It's hard for me to say, it's still in the contact stage..."

That is, the confidentiality phase of the project...

Jiang Nan thought for a while, approached Liu Tianxian's ear and whispered, "Is it the play that Li Lianjie cooperated with Cheng Long?"

“... How do you know?"

......

"Actually, I don't think "Golden Armor" is so bad, Lao Mouzi has been learning from Kurosawa, "Golden Armor" is a tribute to "Chaos" in a sense, but unfortunately, he is not as restrained as Kurosawa, the colors of "Chaos" are neat, not moving like a mountain, and the colors of "Golden Armor" are too gorgeous!"

"Anyway, I was stimulated by the last scene, that is, the eunuch splashed water to wash away the blood in front of the main hall, and put the chrysanthemums on the re-arrangement..."

"Most people think of nudity when they see Naiko, I guess what the movie is about, they don't care!"

"I think 'Golden Armor' is at least much better than 'Ambush on All Sides', and certainly not as good as 'Hero'..."

Shen Mengxi and Zhang Xiaobei discussed "Golden Armor", the latter thought that "Golden Armor" was very thunderous and belonged to extremely luxurious garbage, Shen Mengxi disagreed...

In an interpolation, "Golden Armor" won 270 million box office within 20 days of its release, surpassing "Hero" and setting a new box office record for domestic films...

The two of them squatted on the road at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, waiting for Long Bin and Gu Xiao's gang to come out of the toilet.

"Do you admire Zhang Yimou very much?"

“... Well, I really admire him, a genius-level director!"

"Then why didn't you look for him in "Painted Skin"?"

“... Isn't he busy directing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and "Painted Skin" is a very authentic Hollywood commercial narrative, so there is no need to find a big director..."

Zhang Xiaobei looked at Shen Mengxi and changed the topic: "Next week, Li Shaohong's "Sister Love" will be released, did they send you an invitation to the premiere?"

"No... Even if I was given an invitation, I wouldn't be able to go!"

"What? You're going to fight her to the end?"

"Thinking too much, I'll leave for South Korea in three days!"
