Shen Mengxi chatted with the Olympic bid for a while...

He is the orthodox Nortel directing department, and every year, the youth film studio sponsors outstanding directing graduates to shoot graduation works.

At that time, films were generally shot on film, and the equipment was more expensive.

There were only four of the 19 students in his class, and he could make a decent short film with the money as a stepping stone to becoming a director in the future, and it would be even better if he could win an award at the festival.

How do I get a spot?

He came up with a way, he consciously compiled the elements that foreigners might be interested in—class, ethnicity, church, and Cui Jian's songs—and wrote the story of a Korean man and two young people in Beijing - "Helongchuan Gang".

The Olympic bid is of Korean ethnicity, and the filming took place in his hometown of Yanbian.

This method allowed him to get sponsorship and win the favor of the film festival.

"This is a very shameful act, I was ashamed for a long time at that time..."The Olympic bid sat down and talked about his own affairs, "Helongchuan Gang" won the silver medal for short film at the San Bacestian Film Festival...

"I still remember the Gold Award, it was a story about a chicken farm in Brazil, I didn't understand it anyway..."

Shen Mengxi nodded: "So, I'm not used to stream-of-consciousness movies, if I invest in movies, it must be the story that moves me!"

Guo Fan interjected: "Me too, I've liked popular things since I was a child, I like the public, and being unique has no charm for me." What is attractive is something that is extremely popular, but has reached a certain height. ”

"What is our current environment? There is only one criterion for measuring the success of a film, and the director will of course be under tremendous pressure at the box office, and we have not established an effective film review system..."

"The United States has an Oscar, there is an awards season, that is an authoritative judging mechanism that they have spent decades to establish, even if something goes wrong in one or two editions, it will not shake the whole process!"

"If "Piano of Steel" failed to sell well at the box office, this movie is not considered a success?"

"I don't think so..."

Shen Mengxi likes to talk nonsense with juniors, especially those who know how to do it...

The main thing is to enjoy the adoring eyes of the juniors.

That kind of look should be Ma Yun's various speeches, blowing, and then the eyes of the audience...

Feel +1 Faith...

""Donkey Gets Water, have you two watched it?"

Guo Fan shook his head embarrassedly: "Recently, I have been busy preparing for "The Sadder", and I have to supervise the production of "To Youth"... Not much time..."

"To Youth", that is, "To Our Dying Youth", the director found Ji Jiatong, a freshman director who graduated from Nortel this year, a very powerful director...

The representative work is Wu Gang and Zhang Xinyu's "Not Afraid of Thieves" - which one is on the picture...

"Let's see, how long can it be delayed?"

The two of them nodded, and Shen Mengxi left—he didn't come specifically to pretend to be forced.

......

February 14th is Monday, the box office of the first week of "Donkey Gets Water" is really the box office results of the week of release...

A total of 98 million in seven days.

Very good results!

At least that's what Shen Mengxi thought!

"Will Love" was released for ten days, with a cumulative box office of over 100 million, barely calling it a win-win situation...

In terms of box office alone, the worst thing is actually "I Know a Woman's Heart", Andy Lau + Gong Li, who bought the Hollywood remake rights at a cost of more than 60 million...

The box office did not reach 50 million.

Even if there is no "Donkey Gets Water", "I Know a Woman's Heart" is not a hit!

Take it,In the spirit of paying tribute to the original,Simply copy it as it is-the Chinese version!

Of course, the film made money.

Why did Bona remake "I Know a Woman's Heart"?

The reason is very simple, because this movie is very special, the special thing is not in the relationship between the characters, not in the plot story, it is a good advertising carrier in itself, it turns out to be a bunch of ready-made brands such as Nike. When you move to China, you only need to change a batch of advertising merchants, which does not affect the fluency.

Andy Lau + Gong Li, what a good advertising target.

The money implanted in this film is at least 50 million!

So, don't keep staring at the box office...

However, the box office trend of "Donkey Gets Water" is not stable, despite the good things that film critics and major online platforms have said, on the fifth day of release, the single-day box office champion was handed over to "Will Love"...

Xu Zheng is quite unhappy...

On the one hand, I was dissatisfied with the box office of "Donkey Gets Water", and on the other hand, I was a little anxious...

Why anxiety?

Because the novice directors of Mengxi Company are too successful, think about it, Yang Qing, Han Yan, Guo Fan, Su Lun, which one is not a member of the 200 million box office club?

What about him?

"Donkey Gets Water" gathers almost the top cast lineup of Mengxi - the male number three played by Hu Ge...

In the first week of its release, the box office has not exceeded 100 million, and Maoyan predicts a total box office of 150 million...

The cost of this film is 30 million, and it is definitely earned, and making money is making money, but it has not met psychological expectations.

I'm going to talk to Shen Mengxi...

In his opinion, Shen Mengxi should understand this very well - "The Great Wall", with an investment of 120 million US dollars, is not worried about box office failure?

......

Elephant Mountain, taverns...

"The Big Winner" chose to shoot in Ningbo - the local government gave a very good preferential policy.

"The Great Wall" is a scene survey in Xiangshan, which is not considered a scene survey, but a supervision of prop production...

Xu Zheng simply came to Xiangshan to find Shen Mengxi, and it happened that Hu Ge was also there.

Hu Ge wanted to take over "White Deer Plain", so he directed it by Wang Quanan, and asked him to play Lu Zhaopeng...

Shen Mengxi is quite speechless, this character has no sense of existence, if I look for you to play a black baby, it will be a bit interesting - a bunch of passion scenes with Tian Xiao'e...

Yes, many people commented on the movie version of "White Deer Plain": Wang Quanan took the "Legend of Tian Xiao'e" to pick up girls...

"Directors like Wang Quanan have a bit of literary accent, shoot some small people, and have big feelings, which is what they are good at. You give him 100 million national epics, he still has that taste, and he can't shoot it!"

"There are so many people and things in Bailuyuan, how can he shoot them? A family has a history of hundreds of years, and several characters have similar names, and the audience can't even tell the characters after making a movie! I guess he will focus the camera on Tian Xiao'e alone, so that the most praised group portrait of the characters in the movie is all blurred, and only Tian Xiao'e and the man are left, then it's not interesting!"

"If you want to act in "White Deer Plain", in two years, I will get the TV series adaptation rights, let's make a TV series..."

Hu Ge hesitated: "I just think the opportunity is quite rare..."

Shen Mengxi simply made it clear: "This movie was used by Wang Quanan to pick up girls, he broke up with Yu Nan, and now he is chasing Zhang Yuqi..."

"Won't it?"

“... Let me tell you about the mess with those directors, Wang Quanan, Gu Changwei and Jiang Wenli..."

The love affair of the director's circle can be a two-million-word gossip essay...

"Wang Quanan has been in France, he himself said that when he was in France, he fell in love with two things, movies and women, and he still insisted on his hobby for so many years, using movies to shoot women, so what do you think he did when he filmed "White Deer Plain"?"

When Xu Zheng came over, Shen Mengxi was giving Hu Ge the affair of Director Wang, and Hu Ge was dumbfounded!

So good at playing?

"What are you talking about, so happy?"
