Weibo control patient Liu Yifei patted Shen Mengxi, who was cutting his nails: ""The Legend of the White Snake" is really so bad?"

Shen Mengxi didn't reply: "The main reason is that Yangzi is too sassy, and the newcomer has just entered the circle, so he brags about his sincerity to make a movie... I really have to be sincere, so I waited for the special effects last night, and the special effects were not completed yet, so I will release them in a hurry!"

"How do you know?"

“... We do the special effects!"

At present, the mainland undertakes special effects and post-production special effects companies, and Mengxi special effects account for the majority...

High standard, cheap and most importantly attentive service.

But no matter how high the standard is, it will take time!

If you have to shorten the cycle by three months and refuse to add money, then it's five cents...

"Did that really cost 200 million?"

"I don't know, anyway, the special effects are less than 20 million, plus the actor's salary, I originally estimated that 100 million should be there, but Li Lian said that the scene he received with a low salary is considered a friendship price, and it is estimated that it is less than 10 million... The total cost is more than 60 million at most!"

"Then they blow 200 million?"

“... The amount of investment announced in the media press release?? 2.5 to 3.5 = real investment amount, almost the rule of the trade, don't you know?"

"How do I know..."

Liu Yifei is speechless...

Even if Mengxi does a play, although the bill is very clear, the advertising placement and brand sponsorship will not be written in the accounts...

A lot of things don't need to be announced!

After cutting his nails, Shen Mengxi said: "Actually, "The Legend of the White Snake" is not easy to make into a movie. ”

"Why?"

It is a work with the theme of free love, opposing the right family and the order of parents, but in the end it has to bow to the Gangchang etiquette law, monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons. Two people who should be together in turn have to meet a series of harsh conditions in exchange for the so-called amnesty and mercy to get a so-called happy ending. This is one of the worst things in Chinese culture. ”

"If you want to shoot love, you should be like Liang Zhu, even if you have to defend love to the last breath of your life, it's a big deal that it's a lose-lose ending, Liang Zhu finally used romanticism to oppose the army. ”

It makes sense, Liu Yifei nodded matter-of-factly...

Speaking of this, Shen Mengxi got up: "I'll go out." ”

"What are you fishing again?"

“... I'm going to the film bureau!"

......

Shen Mengxi did go to the Film Bureau.

On the one hand, several of Mengxi's co-productions have opened up the market, and the Film Bureau wants to ask him what he thinks of co-productions, and on the other hand, he wants to stop the business of the main theme gift film...

The original time and space, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party"... No, it should be said that after the "Xinhai Revolution" mode can't be played, the main theme commercial film can't find a way to play...

Until the release of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" at the end of 2014, Bona found a main theme + commercial film model, and successively launched four blockbusters, "Operation Mekong", "Operation Red Sea", "Heroes of Fire", and "Chinese Captain", and they all sold well.

Shen Mengxi could not miss these four projects.

First of all, the main theme commercial film and the gift film are not the same thing, and the prefix, as well as "My Motherland and Me" and "The Climber" are legitimate gift films...

One of the nine ministries and commissions took the lead, found a film studio, negotiated the theme and story, and then the studio was responsible for shooting.

The main theme blockbuster, especially the tribute film, is not something you can shoot if you want to!

"Ice and Snow Changjin Lake" was intended to be filmed in 11 years - at that time, Bayi Film Studio produced a documentary "Ice Blood Changjin Lake", and Feng Xiaogang publicly stated that he wanted to shoot...

But because of the international situation - in those years, China and the United States were friendly, and it was not easy to shoot genre films that showed the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but "Chinese Widow" (Fenghuo Fangfei), "Golden Scale Thirteen Hairpins" and the like can be filmed!

To what extent?

The documentary was banned and could not be found on the Internet until May 19, when it was publicly screened on the movie channel!

That's right, it's the Movie Channel again!

Six Princesses!

This guy can really make trouble, Japanese Prime Minister Abe visited Pearl Harbor, and on the same day, the six princesses played "Pearl Harbor", leading the people of the whole country to relive how Japanese benzene attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States and pulled the United States, which had wanted to stay out of the water;

On the anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, the six princesses played "The Sinking of Japanese Benzene" at the right time;

The six princesses treated everyone equally, and when Pan Rong and the baby were the most fierce, they released "Detective Chinatown";

Scotland voted for independence, and the six princesses were also very concerned, and directly broadcast "Braveheart"...

Rip it back.

Shen Mengxi doesn't want to undermine the international situation, in the Sino-US friendship stage, it's better not to make any films to resist US aggression and aid Korea...

What he meant was to make a few movies like "My Motherland and Me", "My Hometown and Me"...

This thing needs political endorsement too!

......

The Film Bureau is in the Xuanwumen area, which is easy to find.

Shen Mengxi directly knocked on the door of the Tong Bureau's office and said his intention: "I am going to shoot a film "My Motherland and Me" by five directors, and intercept five clips, namely the founding of the People's Republic of China, the atomic bomb explosion, hello Xiaoping, the return, and the Olympics..."

Tong Gang was very interested in Shen Mengxi's proposal.

Shen Mengxi: "I just have one request, the schedule of the movie is the National Day file, and don't interfere so much..."

"Intervention?"

"It's just... Let's shoot it ourselves, don't arrange other directors for us, such as Chen Kaige or something..."

"Okay, shoot it yourself. Tong Gang nodded, and Zhang Hongsen next to him: "Do you want to unite with China Film?"

“... I made this suggestion to Han Dong, and he seems to be more interested in the prefix 'Jian'..."

Zhang Hongsen sighed: "Judging from the box office of "Xinhai Revolution", this method is not advisable!"

“... Okay, we've got it, you guys shoot..."

Shen Mengxi nodded, sat down, and prepared to talk about co-production.

Zhang Hongsen poured him a glass of water, and then asked in a low voice: "The story of "The Legend of the White Snake" is really made by the light?"

Shen Mengxi looked at Deputy Bureau Zhang helplessly: "Leader, why are you so gossipy?"

"Let's talk about it, Weibo has been discussing it recently..."

"Almost," after thinking about it, Shen Mengxi continued: "The number of screens is still too small now, and you can't squeeze two movies into one schedule... Just wait until the number of screens is 20,000!"

"I can't imagine it!"

Zhang Hongsen sighed a little: "I saw Wang Changtian and Yu Dong at the Film Festival, and the relationship between the two seems to be very good!"

Shen Mengxi smiled: "The truth of life is like this: I dare to scold the government, the world, and God; I slander the Buddha and the ancestors, I look down on the world, but I don't dare to scold the neighbors upstairs who are decorating every weekend, but I have to be very friendly..."

Tong Gang gave a thumbs up: "Incisive!"

"Leader, let's talk about co-productions!"

"Good. Tong Gang nodded: "What do you think is the purpose of the co-production?"

"The first step is to learn advanced technology and production concepts, and the second step is to reverse export culture!"

Zhang Hongsen looked at Tong Gang and said with a smile: "Now there are many comrades suing you, saying that you are a comprador and help the Americans earn our money, wolf ambition!"

“... Wouldn't it?"

Shen Mengxi was dumbfounded...

Can this be?

""Shark Beach", "Giant Crocodile Storm", including "Source Code", are all co-productions, and they all make money..."

"Then the whole world has sold well, the American version of "Shark Beach" has bought more than 90 million US dollars worldwide, and "Giant Crocodile Storm" has also sold more than 80 million US dollars at the box office in addition to China...
