Chapter 28: Daily AVI (1/5)

(Don't be, I wasn't caught...) Isn't this a good codeword!)

"Is it better to have a wooden handle, or is it better to make it iron?"

"Depending on your personal habits, I prefer wooden ones..."

"For dinner, is the steak still an ordinary Cantonese restaurant?"

"Cantonese restaurant..."

Liu Yifei stopped what he was doing and glanced at him...

Shen Mengxi smiled flatteringly: "I want to ask you to have dinner together in the evening, is it okay?"

“... I'm busy today..."

"But, before I came, I had practiced countless times..."

Shen Mengxi looked at Liu Yifei with a little pleading, and there was a hint of familiarity in his eyes to let me go, twice is enough...

So, Liu Yifei also smiled...

Instant play...

Shen Mengxi hurriedly pointed at her: "Look, you're laughing... That's all there is to the Queen of Cannes!"

"Phew..."

first spat on Shen Mengxi, and then she waved her hand at the surrounding staff embarrassedly: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I laughed..."

"It's okay..."

What can the staff do?

Of course, I choose to forgive her...

......

At seven o'clock in the evening, the crew of "Inner Beauty" stayed at the barbecue restaurant next to the hotel, Shen Mengxi was the east, and Zhang Hanyun, Nazha and Yin Zheng were entertained...

It's not that you don't bring the staff, they... Too busy!

No kidding: Mengxi's current project development, there are no big special effects, basically a 10-month cycle, four months of preparation, two months of shooting, four months of post-production + release...

During the shoot, the footage shot every day had to be cut in advance to make the post-production process go more smoothly.

"Inner Beauty", a love theme, what's wrong, I still want to learn "The Ferryman": three years of preparation, 118 drafts of revision, 700,000 words of script, ten months of shooting, more than 20 celebrities collectively doing things?

stepped on a horse, made a love film, and spent 400 million...

What is the concept of 400 million?

$60 million!

"Joker" costs less than $60 million!

Brains are a good thing, and hopefully they can have them too.

Yin Zheng raised his glass: "Director, what you said at the Shanghai Film Festival is really enjoyable!"

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "... What's wrong? You also had a holiday with Lu Chuan?"

"Nope..."

Liu Yifei heard the mystery: "Also?"

"Well, Yang Xiaomi called me afterwards to express her gratitude... Because she couldn't stand Lu Chuan's efficiency in making movies, she simply quit acting, and then Lu Chuan hated her, saying everywhere that she didn't respect art or something..."

Zhang Hanyun was a little speechless: "We joined the crew, and the schedule we signed is time-limited, who has time to accompany them in the pursuit of art?"

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "You can't say that?" Actors with aspirations that we should respect? But all celebrities shouldn't be forced to pursue..."

In general, the normal film shooting cycle will never exceed three months!

Because star time is too expensive, the crew has to feed so many people? Therefore, filming is often the norm to work more than ten hours a day.

So? A lot of blowing filming for more than four months is basically due to problems in the filming process - either the director wants to change the script, or the main actor wants to add a scene...

Yang Xiaomi takes 3 movies a year? Three TV series, how to get it done?

It must be matched by the schedule.

Gave you 40 days? Just 40 days? Because 40 days later, I signed it out before - the money was collected!

In this case, do you talk about artistic pursuits?

It's so bad!

Lao Liu didn't really want to talk about this topic, she thought of the film market, and then asked: "The Hunger Games doesn't sell well in China!"

"Normal? The overseas box office of this thing is less than half of that in the United States!"

"The Hunger Games" was released in the mainland...

Thought North America was selling $400 million? There should be a market of 100 million US dollars in the mainland - everyone loves to watch Hollywood!

The first weekend was only 60.1 million yuan, and the total box office is estimated to be 150 million...

Big surprise!

You must know that the box office of "Men in Black 3" was 180 million in the first weekend, and the box office of "The Avengers" was 120 million in the first weekend...

"At this stage, most audiences prefer direct stimulation from big scenes and big actions, because we can't shoot it... But like The Hunger Games... When I was writing this book? The consideration itself is the North American market! Therefore, there is no deliberate arrangement of Asians in the casting..."

Liu Yifei glanced at him? Didn't speak...

Little sister, not only little sister? Most actresses around the world are particularly envious of Margot Robbie!

Margot Robbie, with "The Hunger Games", went straight to the world's highest-grossing action actor...

Although she signed four long contracts? The first three films were paid $50, $100, and $1.5 million? The fourth part has a chance to get a maximum salary of 25 million...

But the fame has been beaten!

Changed Liu Yifei? Not to mention whether she can complete the special training - this role requires half a year of special training, and it is the special training of the Olympic champion himself: running over obstacles, climbing trees, archery or escaping from the fire, all need to be played by the actor himself!

Six-month training period: Margetro drove to UCLA for physical training, then to the Valley for stunts, then climbing, and then to Santa Monica to learn archery with Olympic third-place finisher Hatuna Loriguer.

It's torturous!

Moreover, could "The Hunger Games" be a big hit at that time?

No one is sure, after all, Fox's "Divergent 2" box office can be called a fiasco - the cost of $130 million, the North American box office is 130 million, and the global box office is 290 million, and the word of mouth has collapsed directly...

Also, if Shen Mengxi is determined to let Liu Yifei star, the box office will definitely be discounted, and the follow-up sequel will be developed, whether the market will accept it is also a big question!

The essential... The Board does not necessarily agree.

-- Bren House decided to launch a listing plan.

It's a circle of money...

......

"The natural industrial nature of film determines that its development trajectory is closely aligned with the times. ”

"This is true abroad, but even more so in the mainland. Throughout the development process of Chinese films after the founding of the People's Republic of China, every advance, retreat, and swing from the system to the market has a distinct imprint of the times. ”

"I don't dare to say more, but in ten years, the trend of domestic films is that commercial films are more prosperous, and art films are becoming more and more lackluster.

Shen Mengxi was very happy, several people here, except for Liu Yifei, were all single-handedly held out by him!

It's a bit of a peach and plum all over the world.

If he was pleased, he would be willing to drink a few more glasses and give some advice from hereafter...

On the surface, it is to advise Yin Zheng, Zhang Hanyun, and Nazha to the three of them, but in fact, it is for Liu Yifei to listen to - who wants to watch you act in literary films?

"Dew and Red Face", "The Third Love", "Night Peacock"...

What the hell is that?

The stories are all in the old tone of the last century, do you really think they can impress the audience and the judges?
