Lao Chen is also embarrassed...

After "Wu Ji", it can't be sold overseas at all!

One can only count on the mainland.

That's why I made "Search"...

There are always people who say that Lao Chen and A Mou have similar status!

It's good to fly!

If nothing else, let's just talk about the treatment of the three major European film festivals.

Cannes: A's two films "Ambush on All Sides" and "Return", Cannes are the top treatment, crushing most of the films in the main competition.

Cannes, a typical snobbish film festival, is actually a clear line of directors, new directors give you a competition, it is a great grace, give an unpopular broadcast time and a small theater, A Mou has two screenings, all of them are prime time, the largest theater, a separate press conference, the chairman welcomes him personally, a separate red carpet, and even because he is too late, he simply adds a new red carpet press conference.

What about Lao Chen?

The screening of "Wu Ji" - not a non-competitive screening invited by Cannes, but at their own expense, what "Wu Ji" was released by China Film in Cannes was popular in Cannes, and the original form was revealed under the comments of Western reporters, just check it, you know...

From the former son to the current closed-door thanks, Cannes' snobbery can be seen!

As for Venice, Berlin...

These two are simply professional schemes, and Lao Chen's treatment is not as good as Jia Zhangke!

Summary of the treatment through the film festival: A Mou, one of the few world-class superstar directors in contemporary China, Lao Chen, a Chinese director with a certain influence in contemporary China...

It's just that Ah Mou is stupid...

If Liu Yifei went to play Ye Lanqiu, Shen Mengxi probably wouldn't have much of an opinion...

But let her play a supporting role, praising Gao Yuanyuan and Yao Dazui, he is definitely not happy, and Liu Yifei himself is not very willing.

She is not a novice, and she still has requirements for roles and coffee positions.

It is impossible to lower the standard because the other party is a big director.

Shen Mengxi proposed to let her find Liu Shishi... She thought for a while: "Why don't you let Zhou Dongyu try it?"

"It's not good, Zhou Dongyu is a girl..."

"Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi aren't seeking girls?"

"Okay, I'll take Zhou Dongyu tomorrow and ask her to come with me to see Chen Hong..."

The young lady nodded, and asked by the way: "Is "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" very good?"

"It's okay, it's pretty good..."

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", if it wasn't filmed by Zhang Yimou, if there was no cyan hype from Zhang Weiping, the Douban score would have been at least 8.8 points or more!

- It was 6.3 at the beginning of the release on Douban, and now it is 8.2, and the number of people is 68372!

No matter how picky you are, you can say a classic!

One sentence summary: Every time the righteous slaughter dogs, there are also strange women in the party, and the merchant girls also know the hatred of the country, and the church sings Qin Huaijing.

After thinking about it, he added: "But I don't like this film very much." ”

"How?"

"The problem of cultural perspective, his generation is somewhat inferior and unconfident, too flattering to Americans... I guess many viewers don't like it either!" Shen Mengxi shook his head: "Don't talk about this, are you interested in the spin-off movie of "Painted Skin"?"

Liu Yifei was surprised: "I can also act?"

"Of course, there is still a lack of an immortal in the world of painted skin, and we are going to make a one-man movie. ”

"Yes, I'd love to. ”

......

Shen Mengxi is very busy, including the entire Mengxi company...

In addition to continuing to promote "The Little Fox and the Monster Hunter", the company's publicity team also had to spare energy to promote "My Little Black Dress"...

Riding a horse, "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" fought, directly snatching all the attention!

Although "Little Dress" has a lot of cards: Liu Yifei, Yang Xiaomi, Zhao Liying, Tang Yan The four heroines (Liu Shishi was busy filming "Strange Man Yizhimei 2", and Zhao Liying topped her shortage)...

However, "Thirteen Hairpins" has A Mou, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" Zuda Li link + weekly news!

Especially Zhou Xun, "Painted Skin" trilogy, "The Wind", "Confucius", "Su Qier", her box office data ranks in front of all actresses!

In terms of appeal, it belongs to the first class.

"Little Dress" can't be careless about Jingzhou - this film, the box office is less than 300 million, which is considered a failure.

Shen Mengxi was busy attending the meeting, and the Film Bureau and the Ministry of Culture had recently looked for him in various ways - the 2nd was about to visit the United States, and the Sino-US film agreement was about to be signed...

In the WTO agreement of that year, one of China's commitments to the opening up of films was to allow the introduction of 20 foreign films every year as account-sharing films.

As we all know, compared with Hollywood's very large-scale film industry, Chinese films started late, and transitional protection measures were indeed conducive to the benign development of Chinese films at that time, however, "transitional" has a time limit, the transitional time has long ended, and the issue of opening up Chinese films to the outside world needs to be solved urgently.

One of the most important aspects of this visit to the United States is to negotiate with the American Film Projection Association!

It is definitely necessary to liberalize the share of imported films, and it will also increase the proportion of account sharing...

Generally speaking, the overseas box office sharing of Hollywood films is an international practice - the international box office sharing form, and the proportion of revenue sharing of all parties involved in imported blockbusters is "35% for the producer, 17% for the distributor, and 48% for the projector".

China's 13%, the lowest in the world, even if it rises to 25%, it is also the lowest!

Hollywood is not a mountain cannon, it definitely wants to increase the proportion...

But their focus is on quota increases.

There is no need to discuss, Shen Mengxi knows that after this visit to the United States, the share of the content of the "Sino-US Film Memorandum" has increased from 20 to 34, and the account sharing has also increased from 13% to 25%...

He knows that in the next six months, almost Hollywood blockbusters will play the leading role: "Mission Impossible 4", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", "Alien Battlefield", "Titanic 3D", "The Avengers", "Men in Black 3" and even "Super Battleship"...

Hollywood movies have been pushed sideways in the Chinese market for half a year!

......

On December 1st, Shen Mengxi came back from the Film Archive, and Liu Yifei greeted him with a warm face, squatted down, helped him untie his shoelaces, and took cotton slippers...

The two have been together for three years, and Shen Mengxi knows that if the young lady is enthusiastic, she will take the initiative to help him get the slippers.

So...

Something must be wrong with her!

Recall carefully, his performance has been normal these days, once a night, occasionally erupted, and scored a brace, although he didn't have the passion of the day back then, but it was okay...

So what could it be?

He cautiously asked, "... What's wrong with you?"

The young lady looked at him with a smile, and saw that his heart was furious, and then said: "Inner Beauty?

"Yes... I want to be idle this year, so I just make a romance film to practice my skills... What, you like it?"

"Well, I love this script!"

“... Then act," Shen Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of yogurt, opened it, licked the lid, and then said: "I'm decided, you are the heroine!"
