Chapter 8: Another Year of Chinese New Year (3/5)

"Subject matter?"

"That's right, I'm also a Cannes and Oscar winner, wouldn't it be too much if I made a movie that didn't sell at the box office..."

Xu Zheng smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that I will be scolded for being vulgar if I sell the box office!"

"I'm not afraid of vulgarity... Cinema is inherently popular culture..."

"It's better to make a realistic drama, or a suspense genre..."

"Realism?" Shen Mengxi seriously considered...

"But realism is hard to sell..."

"That's because their realism is concerned with the darkest side of human nature, and realism should show the height of human nature..."

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is good...

But Lu Yong's case won't be over until 2015, so it's a shot now!

Either...

Make a blockbuster!

Thinking of this, Shen Mengxi suddenly slapped his thigh: "I've long wanted to make a special effects blockbuster, okay, the next one will be called "The Great Wall"!"

"The Great Wall?"

"Yes, China and the United States co-produced to show Chinese soldiers fighting monsters, what we are doing is a blockbuster!"

The more Shen Mengxi thought about it, the more feasible he felt.

"That investment..."

"I'll solve the investment thing myself..."

Shen Mengxi personally went into battle to make a movie, or "The Great Wall", Legendary Pictures will definitely agree!

Xu Zheng still wanted to say something, "Don't worry about it, I'll go back and write the script... By the way, remember to tweet and praise "The Monitor"..."

Shen Mengxi got up and prepared to leave, and before leaving, he admonished...

Although Xu Guangtou has less than 1 million Weibo fans, they are all loyal fans!

Will buy tickets to support the movie!

"In other words, I'm also an art consultant for The Watcher!"

"Let's go, when you audition, if you have any good seedlings, remember to tell Sister Li..."

Xu Zheng listened to his various emphasis on newcomers, and couldn't help but ask: "... Do you want the two of us to cast together?"

By the way, I winked at him...

Rouba, Tian Ai, Guan Xiaotong, and Li Qin flashed in front of him, and Shen Mengxi said righteously: "... No, I'm not good at this!"

......

"The Great Wall" can be made into a movie that exports Chinese values!

The military and civilians still face the foreign Yuqin, we are united!

As for foreigners, they can be made into the bard type, without stealing gunpowder, similar to Marco Polo, a braggart writer...

Set up as a team type, referring to "Go Forward", the protagonist is a foreigner, moved by our army, and actively engaged in the fight against monsters...

Including personal growth, family and country feelings...

set up a male number two, and I have always looked down on foreigners, thinking that he is not my race, and his heart must be different, and he is very repulsed!

Another boss character, he knows that the protagonist has a stunt, and he uses a gentle attitude towards him...

Do you want to be the number one?

It doesn't seem necessary, this kind of movie has a woman, it always feels redundant!

Let's take a look at Da Tiantian's sincerity...

By the way, you can also set up a palace line, all kinds of brawls, and later the generalissimo's widow killed the traitorous ministers in a rage at the court, and personally led the army to support...

It's a little messy, don't rush, tidy up slowly.

Shen Mengxi was thinking about it, the car was parked in the airport parking lot, he got out of the car, and then saw a poster - "Laughing Rivers and Lakes": Released on December 3, "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" will relieve a thousand sorrows with a smile!

The poster is printed with Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shen Yang, Wu Zongxian, Zeng Zhiwei...

Comedy superstars from across the Taiwan Strait and three regions gathered together!

Alas, this broken movie, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, he was attracted by the 'Gathering of Comedy Superstars from the Two Sides of the Taiwan Strait', and then entered the cinema with a few friends...

mainly read an analysis post on Time.com, seriously discussed how "Laughing Rivers and Lakes" killed "Zhao's Orphan" at the box office, and analyzed the various advantages of "Laughing Rivers and Lakes".

He thinks it makes sense: the cards do have an advantage, and it's still a comedy + martial arts theme.

But he forgot that the director was Zhu Yanping...

I watched half of it, and then left the scene...

This movie... The box office actually has 150 million.

It only proves that Guanhua is hungry for comedy.

Shen Mengxi dared to arrange for "The Watchers" to be released a week in advance, just because he wanted to step on "Laughing Jianghu" and "Zhao's Orphan"...

......

This year's Chinese New Year file, "Laughing Jianghu" on December 3, "Zhao's Orphan" on December 4, "Let the Bullets Fly" on December 16, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" on December 22 and "Back to Twenty" on December 24...

Except for "Laughing Jianghu" and "Twenty Years Old Again", each one is at least a week apart!

Obviously, it's all negotiated, and it doesn't take Mengxi Company to play!

You and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" to grab the box office - "If You Are Honest 2" will be released on December 22, and "Twenty Years Old Again" will be released on December 24...

As for "Laughing Rivers and Lakes"...

Yu Fatzi attacked Brother Chen Kai head-on...

Lao Chen is the pet of the Beijing circle...

How dare you target him?

Yu Fatzi has no good way, who can he compete for in these movies?

Lao Chen can touch it.

Lao Chen's box office appeal is really declining year by year, and the box office of the last "Mei Lanfang" almost did not exceed 100 million...

"Zhao's Orphan" blockbuster + epic + court, it doesn't look like a big seller!

If there is no "Monitor" to disrupt the situation, "Laughing Jianghu" can really compete with "Zhao's Orphan".

It's a pity that the word of mouth of "The Watchers" exploded...

On November 30th, a weekday, the single-day box office reported more than 16 million!

Now, everyone knows that "The Watchers" is not a movie that is not valued by Dream Creek Company, but is full of confidence - "The Watchers" was released in a hurry, and it was not until November that Dream Creek Company announced the release of "The Watchers"...

No way, "Lucky Key" and "The Guy in My Body" are still in the late stage.

"Donkey Gets Water" is naturally not suitable for such a schedule...

Simply be it, it will be released on Valentine's Day next year, and fight with "Love to the End"!

will definitely be scolded - this thing has nothing to do with love, just scold...

......

December 2nd, evening, Beijing, self-house, study.

Shen Mengxi is studying the actors of "The Great Wall"...

are mainly foreign actors, who is suitable for them?

Nicolas Cage?

No, his appeal in the United States is close to negative, little plum...

Forget it, Xiao Lizi is not interested in pure commercial films!

"The Great Wall", it takes at least one year to raise funds and prepare for the preliminary stage, three months to shoot in the middle, eight months to one year in the post, and the entire production cycle is two and a half years.

It was 2013!

Who was the hottest star of 2013?

I guess I remembered, it's been too long ...

It's been almost ten years since the interval between adding a piece!

Superman Henry Cavill can certainly ...

Thinking of Henry Cavill, Shen Mengxi immediately thought of the actor of "The Hunger Games", Logan Leman, who worked together in "Manchester by the Sea"...

Shen Mengxi circled his name.

was calculating, the phone rang, it was black and good.

He invited Shen Mengxi to attend the Golden Horse Awards the day after tomorrow...

Shen Mengxi didn't think about it, and refused directly, and the reason for refusal was very hardcore: "I don't want to go... When I don't need a visa to go to Taiwan one day, I'm sure I'll be the first to go!"

Wu Ershan asked cautiously: "That... Shall I go?"

"Of course you can go, what's here, strengthening cross-strait exchanges starts with movies!"

Smiled, hung up the phone, and was about to continue writing, when the phone rang again, this time it was the fat man...
