Chapter 67: Friendly Suggestions (part 2 of 5)

Bren House is particularly awesome this year, "Fifty Shades of Grey", "The Hunger Games", "Insidious 3", "The Conjuring" four movies, the global box office of 1.7 billion US dollars...

These are the four items that are big sellers.

There are also many box office tens of millions or so, such as "Lawless", "Sinister", "Bay of Terror" and so on...

Judging from the box office score alone, Bren House is already set to enter the top six!

S studio, three movies, "Ex Machina" has the lowest box office, currently less than $1 million, similar to "Burst Drummer", all of which are ready to hit the awards season, "Untouchable" has broken $500 million at the global box office, and it is still in theaters, Leonardo is likely to win the Oscar, of course, this thing depends on public relations and luck...

By the way, there is also a "Meet You in New York Again", which should be released next year, which is a relatively pure commercial romance film.

Whether it is Brun House or S Studio, both are Shen Mengxi's assets.

Shen Mengxi had already said this thing when he was in Cannes!

Therefore, listening to what Huang Zhongjun said about integrating into Hollywood and borrowing a boat to go to sea, he felt that he was very awesome, but in the eyes of outsiders, he felt quite ridiculous...

It's as if someone told you that bell bottoms are really good-looking, and that your hair is trendy and high-end...

Big brother, what age is this?

You're gone early in the morning, can you open your eyes and see the world?

"I'm not in favor of blending into Hollywood, because blending into Hollywood means that you accept its rules, and you can never beat it!"

"First of all, we need to clarify a concept, who is our film for?"

"It must be filmed for the audience, this concept of the audience, we have to distinguish clearly, I talked to people from Haitui Company in Cannes, he said that Chinese have no universal values and cannot tell human stories well, so Chinese films can't go out... I strongly disagree with this theory!"

"What are the so-called universal values? Universalism is the ideological invasion of the West against non-Western societies, and they themselves do not necessarily believe in that set of things!"

"I learned from Lao Ma's set of things, and I felt that value is essentially a relationship, a state of unity between subject and object with the subject as the scale, and the satisfaction and meaning of the object's needs for the subject. ”

"There is a one-size-fits-all truth, but there is no one-size-fits-all value! Do the common values of all mankind exist? I don't think they exist? Because, any of them? Anyone against it? Someone supports, someone supports? There are people who oppose it, otherwise? Democracy is empty talk. ”

"This thing doesn't stand on its own? So Hollywood movies rarely play that set of things, they are all doing comic works. ”

"Secondly, the rules. At this stage, Hollywood has a monopoly on the right to speak in movies? Hollywood has built a complete industrial system and a replicable business model? From Kodak film to ARRI and RED cameras, all ARRI lighting and film theories were established by Britain and the United States, as well as the film critic system, the awards season award system, the People's Choice Awards, the film publicity mechanism, etc., all developed by Hollywood. ”

"How do we challenge it? But I know it's not feasible to be fully integrated! Isn't it just a transfer of funds?"

"Finally, I want to say? I'm really not making movies to make money!"

"I'm not saying polite words, if I want to make money? Can I do Meituan on my own? Or focus on Maoyan ticketing? These three areas are all worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars..."

"Why do I make movies, because of interest and disdain for Hollywood blockbusters..."

"In '95, I watched a "Independence Day", I couldn't figure out the logic of this movie, how could one person save the earth?"

"As a result, people sold almost $900 million worldwide, and I was dumbfounded..."

What's even more dumbfounded is that this broken movie has a Douban score of 8.1 points!

......

At the end of the forum, Shen Mengxi went backstage with Wang Changtian, ready to take a break, and then left...

It's embarrassing, he and Wang Changtian, including Yu Dong and Huang Zhonglei, are all people.

What does that mean?

It's just that people came, no projects were announced, no crews were brought with them...

Not even a press conference!

Why?

I really can't look down on the Long Film Festival!

There is very little media attention, even if Shen Mengxi comes, it's useless...

Let's put it this way - there isn't even a related hot search!

Lack of media attention and no layout, most of the crew will not use the Long Film Festival as a propaganda station, and naturally they will not come.

It's deserted!

"Do you have an opinion about Huang Zhongjun?"

"Nope..."

"No, you're still targeting him like that?"

"I'm not targeting him, I think he's stupid, Baba sends money to Hollywood, and brags to others how good he is, and he hooks up with someone... Does it make sense?"

"He has a lot of friends!"

"Relationships are not business at all, business is business. If you can't help others, it's useless to rely on relationships alone. Most of us are private enterprises now, whether you can help me or not, how much you can help me, everyone has an objective consideration in their hearts!"

Lao Wang smiled: "This is his philosophy in dealing with things, and you can't say that this is wrong!"

Shen Mengxi still shook his head: "I know, but I don't like it." ”

After a pause, he asked Lao Wang: "What movie is the Light New Year file going to make?"

"That's the biggest headache!"

Last week, the light led the release of "The Shark Mouth Escape of the Tsunami", a bad movie...

actually let him sell 150 million...

It's much better than "Tai Chi".

But so far, several companies have basically completed the deployment of the Chinese New Year files: Xingmei has "The King's Feast", Huayi "1942", Bona "Big Shanghai", and Huanya mainly promotes "Blood Drops";

Mengxi "One Shot to the End", "Thai Embarrassment", "Inner Beauty", "Journey to the West" four movies...

Of course, the specific release time has not yet been decided.

It seems that there is no reserve of food in the light...

"Headache?"

"We took over the release of 'Chills,' but they were released in November, in December... So far, I've only watched "Blood Drops", and that movie sucks..."

After a pause, Lao Wang added: "Guangguang has cooperated too much with Hong Kong directors and companies before, some projects are immature, and some people are irresponsible, so they produce films with a bad reputation." This kind of negotiation in business is not in an equal position, and some contracts are very stupid. ”

"I don't really like working with them!"

Shen Mengxi very much agreed: "There are many things in this industry that I don't like. Liars, gangsters, big talkers... Some people have a mouth, some are money, and they are not afraid of losing money when investing in movies, I think it's all bragging. Movies, how much money you have is not enough to pay. If you lose, people will deny your intelligence. What business people are most afraid of annoying is being scolded for being stupid, those people hum on the surface, and they have said more than once behind their backs that we are stupid and have a lot of money..."

"I heard that "No Man's Land" can be released?"

"Yes... No, you want to buy out the issue?"
