Chapter Fifty-Six: Prestige Soars
When meeting with an ex-girlfriend, the normal process is, of course, to catch up and then open a room, and have an in-depth exchange, after all, I haven't seen each other for a long time, have we made progress or regressed with each other...
Only practice can lead to true knowledge!
However, Shen Mengxi didn't do this, after eating the barbecue, he sent Song Qian back to the apartment and went back to the hotel by himself...
is not a person of extreme color, let alone a certain gentleman who shoots a domestic selfie series, of course, this kind of thing must be prepared by both parties.
As for what he said about arranging Song Qian's friend to play a small supporting role or something, it is not a big deal.
When it comes to film shooting, he is the controller of the crew!
......
Speaking of returning to China, Li Shaohong's "Sister Love" has a very bad box office and reputation.
Needless to say, word-of-mouth has been scolded by netizens in various ways - although these netizens may not have seen the movie...
The rhythm is brought up!
Most of the comments are filmed in the clouds and foggy, and I can't understand them.
In addition, "The Beijing News" and "Nanfang Daily" praised the original work of "Sister Love", that is, "Rose Red Lotus", directly saying that Li Shaohong did not grasp the essence of the original work...
Another reason for the poor box office is because of the unfavorable schedule selection, such as "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" by Mr. Zhao Benshan, and "007: Casino Royale" later.
The director of "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" is Zhang Yang, it's a pity, the original "Love Malatang" made a stunning appearance, which seemed to indicate the birth of a big commercial director, and then filmed "Bath", although the box office was weak, but the talent was undiminished, "Bath" is really a rare domestic film with a plot and performance that can't find too much fault.
Let's put it this way: It's not weaker than Ang Lee's "Pusher" at all
It's just that later, Director Zhang became more and more obsessed with himself and became more and more niche...
Originally, the day after tomorrow was consummated, and further on, it was to open up the second pulse of Ren Du, soaring to the sky, but he found another way, abandoned his martial arts, and chose to scatter his skills and rebuild...
Now he hasn't finished his work, and he can still be amazing from time to time...
The story of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" is adapted from a news report, about a migrant worker who carried his body thousands of miles away, transported his companions back to his hometown for burial, and returned to his roots and settled in the ground, which has a very dark humor flavor.
Teacher Zhao Benshan's appeal is still there - the box office of "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" is not bad, close to 25 million!
Insert a sentence, Wang Yao, the screenwriter of "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", has been cooperating with Li Shaohong before, and he wrote the scripts of several TV series "Daming Palace Ci" and "Orange is Red" directed by Li, including the movie "Baby in Love".
"007: Casino Royale" not to mention...
Hollywood big production, James Bond fights again...
Not only that, the distributor Columbia Pictures attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and specially arranged for the film's main creatorsโโโ a new generation of Bond Daniel Craig, Bond girl Ava Green, director Martin Campbell, and producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Brookley and other 15 people to China to promote!
This is 2007, not 2017, and few Hollywood big productions have come to China to promote movies!
Li Shaohong's "Sister Love" is sandwiched between two movies, and it is really not time to wait for her!
She may think that "Baby in Love" is not bad at the box office - it will be released on the same schedule, so she decided to start painting on January 22nd...
I didn't expect it to be so bad...
The poor box office affects the company's performance.
Rongxingda is a small workshop, and each film has its own company investment, and the box office does not make money, and what is lost is the company's income.
After all, "Sister Love" is also a medium production with an investment of 25 million, which is not a small amount for Rongxingda!
How can we boost the box office?
Publicize!
Interviewing the media and guiding the audience to buy tickets was the main way of publicity in those years.
Here's the problem, as long as Li Shaohong is interviewed, she will definitely be asked about Shen Mengxi.
It annoyed her.
A little screenwriter, turned the sky upside down?
It's really upside down!
Yan Yiyun, who hasn't written anything for a long time, wrote an article full of gunpowder, titled "Sister Love is Deep or Rose Red Lotus, Director Li Shaohong Should Apologize to the Screenwriters".
The article wrote that Shen Mengxi is a very talented screenwriter, otherwise, "Rose Red Lotus" would not have been bought by South Korea and the United States for the adaptation rights, but in China, the original author did not receive due respect!
directly asked Li Shaohong: Do you want to declare war on behalf of the directors and screenwriters?
Writers Yan Yanwen and Wei Minglun followed up and wrote a lot of articles questioning "Sister Love" in their columns...
Of course, their influence is not as good as Yan Yiyun, Lao Yan once worked as the director of the Western Film Studio, and he is still a member of the Writers' Association, and he is about the same age as the third master!
Yan Yiyun strongly supported it, and the print media began to 'break the news' one after another, and the script adaptation rights that were originally bought through normal channels have also become malicious occupations...
Eighty thousand yuan adaptation fee is not money?
Anyway, in their writing, Li Shaohong has become an old witch who steals the fruits of other people's labor, and plays it herself, and she doesn't play it very well...
The fame value is directly catching up with Ah Mou, who filmed "Ambush on All Sides" back then...
For a while, everyone shouted and beaten!
When Shen Mengxi knew the news, the whole person was stunned...
Lao Yan is so powerful!
No, the release of "People in Embarrassment" was handed over to Western Film...
......
Chen Liming flew to South Korea and personally told Shen Mengxi these news, and said with a little regret by the way: "It's a pity that you are not in the company, and I didn't see the high-spirited appearance of my buddy!"
"What does it have to do with you?"
The fat man replied as a matter of course: "Reporters come to interview you, you are not there, I am your foreign spokesman!"
Looking at Chen Liming, you can imagine how embarrassed he looked at that time!
"Let's stop here!"
"Why?"
"It's a big fuss, it's not good for both sides! The two protagonists of our "Painted Skin" are both from Rongxingda!"
Shen Mengxi explained.
Brother Xun and Chen Kun are all popular with Li Shaohong, and they can be regarded as Bole.
"They have all left Rongxingda, and they have all signed actor contracts, and they have been involved in the preliminary preparations, can they still resign?"
Chen Liming disagreed, and revealed by the way: "Do you know how many people want to cooperate with us to develop "Painted Skin" now?"
"It's with me, not with us!"
โ... I knew you minded!" Chen Liming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Nan Nan has already resigned from the role of that female demon hunter..."
"What's the matter, who else does she want to arrange?"
"No, she said it's up to you to make the role..."
โ... Do I have to thank her? The casting rights were actually given to the executive producer!"
Chen Liming explained: "Nan Nan was an agent for the first time, and many things were not considered..."
Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "Only this once, not as an example, in the future, as long as I am in charge of the project, no one is allowed to stuff people!"
"Also, what I meant just now is not only Rong Xingda, I mean will the third master say anything?"
changed the topic, and the fat man's expression immediately changed: "He won't say anything, the film release of "Sister Love" gave 30% of the film schedule, and the box office lost like that..."
That's right, what Sanye appreciates is a director who can earn box office and help achieve KPIs...
"Moreover, "Rose Red Lotus" is a cultural export... Once "Rose Red Lotus" is a big hit at the box office, it will be a political achievement!"
