Chapter 314: Look at the Thighs (5/5)

Does Shen Mengxi have no cards?

Of course not, he is a member of the Writers' Guild, a member of the Filmmakers Guild, a member of the Directors Guild...

is even a director of the TV Drama Association.

Nortel was born with an orthodox aura.

Why when he is the younger brother?

Who made you not from the Beijing circle!

Who doesn't know that the golden rooster is captive in the Beijing circle, and the hundred flowers are the internal commendation conference of Huayi...

Although Shen Mengxi has proven himself in the market, he still has these two awards!

How to solve this?

It's very simple, public relations, what did Brother Xiao Ming look like by the audience in the past few years, the golden broom seems to ignore him, and he didn't even have a nomination, why?

No, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" nominated him, but the winner was... Donnie Yen.

Donnie Yen?

PR...

It is said that Xiao Mingge's studio bought an MP4 for each of the judges...

Can MP4 buy the conscience of Chinese films?

I don't believe it anyway!

On the contrary, the American "People" magazine selected the top ten worst actors in China, and Xiao Ming won the fifth place, it seems to be... In 2018.

How can Americans care about the acting skills of Chinese actors?

Back to the topic, if you don't want to join the Beijing circle, then you can only take a roundabout route...

First of all, you have to lead the crew of "Painted Skin" to attend, and then lower your posture at the cocktail party...

Secondly, the activities of the Film Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are not only the Golden Rooster Awards, but also the Changchun Film Festival and the Water Eagle Award...

You have to come across!

You say it's humble...

Hehe, that's what Zhao Bafei did...

It's called networking!

In the end, you have to spend a lot of money, and the award ceremony lacks sponsorship, and you pay to make up for it, or you come forward and help pull sponsorship...

You'll be able to gain friendship - at least not as a brother!

Simple, right.

You said that Mengxi is the protagonist, you can't be so humble!

Are they seniors?

It's true that I've been working hard for Chinese movies since 80 years?

What's wrong with showing kindness?

What did Deng Bo say: When I was young, I was already selected by these uncles and uncles, and at that time I thought, these old guys have no power or power, why?

That's the rule!

Therefore, Shen Mengxi asked Zhao Jinsong to do it...

He led "Painted Skin" to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards...

By the way, Hu Ge, Zhang Hanyun, and Zhao Liying are all award presenters...

What about himself?

Gotta go to South Korea...

It's really official business, and I have to go!

......

On the plane, Shen Mengxi was looking through his notebook.

Financial Statistics...

It's very complicated, there are a lot of TV dramas and movie projects, and there is a lot of public relations consumption, of course, they are not as much as the movie theaters...

Briefly talking about the total amount, the expenditure is almost 500 million, and the income is close to 480 million...

Shen Mengxi is not that kind of neurotic, he can do as much as he wants...

Why the loss?

Do you think TV stations check out so fast?

Especially when they know that Shen Mengxi is rich, they can delay it for as long as they want, for as long as they want...

The highest proportion of this revenue is the overseas copyright of "Ip Man 2"...

There is a question, Shen Mengxi is rich, what does it have to do with Mengxi Company?

Shen Mengxi's two Mengxi studios are his personal small vaults, and they are not part of the company's assets!

Liu Yifei, who had been peeking next to him, couldn't help but interject: "Wow, "Midnight Taxi", "Nineteenth Floor Underground", and "Midnight Heartbeat" are produced by you?"

“... No, it's a project that the fat man used to do..."

Shen Mengxi hurriedly denied...

These bad movies have nothing to do with him!

He just handled the people, and didn't shoot these!

The cost of these films is below 3 million, and the box office is around 10 million, of course, "Nineteen Floors Underground" is almost, only 5.2 million box office...

Earn over!

It's really earned!

Horror movies have abundant income channels, in addition to the box office, they can also sell international copyrights, movie channels, online account sharing, rural digital cinemas, etc.

Taking "Nineteen Floors Underground" as an example, according to the algorithm of "the box office is 3 times the investment to make a profit", the cost of 3 million should be 9 million box office to return to the cost, but in fact, "Nineteen Floors Underground" only sold 5.2 million, did this drama lose money?

Of course not, the copyright sold to the movie channel at that time was relatively high, and the network copyright was okay, plus the theater box office share, it was still profitable overall.

Therefore, many horror films that seem to have failed at the box office have actually recouped their costs or even made small profits, while those horror films that were already profitable at the box office have made more money.

Many people don't understand why so many people do domestic horror films, think about it, mosquito meat is also meat, China's film market is such a big one, although horror films are niche, but they do occupy a certain market share, plus high-cost top productions have little interest in this small cake, so a lot of market space is left for small-budget horror film scuffle.

And it's easy to do!

"Embroidered Shoes" became popular, so he filmed "Horror Embroidered Shoes";

"The Tale of the Disc Immortal" became popular, so he filmed "The Shadow of the Pen Fairy" and "The Pen Fairy Collides with the Disc Immortal";

Hollywood has a well-known horror film "Horror Wax Museum", and their film titles mostly use the format of "horror + place name": "Horror Cinema", "Horror Barbershop", "Horror Swimming Pool"...

The 'Midnight' series is on fire, so I'll shoot the Midnight series...

Why not do the Deserted Village series?

Because the royalties are too expensive...

"Fatty?Chen Liming?"

"Yes, Mingxi Company makes a lot of low-budget horror films every year, and this has become the logo of their company!"

The young lady frowned: "Mingxi Company... Isn't that your company?"

“... That's right!"

"Then why don't you straighten it out?"

"Why do you want to rectify? Rectify, who will raise dozens of people in the company? The company manages these things, you don't understand, you can sleep first..."

With a casual remark, Shen Mengxi continued to look through the report...

The young lady was very annoyed, opened her backpack, took out two books, "Hope for Movies" and "Hollywood Model: A Study of the Film Industry", and opened them...

Both of these are producer primers...

That's right, the young lady is starting to learn behind the scenes.

She came to South Korea with her, in addition to being bored, the most important thing is to hear that there are many strange customs in the Korean entertainment industry, such as sending women to the door and the like...

It's too dangerous!

Especially when she knew that Song Qian, one of Shen Mengxi's ex-girlfriends, was also in South Korea...

I'm going to have to come along!

Of course, her explanation was: 'I'm here to see the thighs!'

Although it's strange for such a reason, Shen Mengxi doesn't care, she follows if she likes...

Anyway, he really came to South Korea just to deal with business stuff.

"Twenty Years Old Again", "Big Man" are two shots, "Sunshine Sisters" is established, the income of "Secret Garden", and of course, the income of "Haeundae"...

"Haeundae" was a box office hit, with 33 days of release and a box office of more than 10 million people...

What is the concept of tens of millions of people?

Ranked 5th in Korean film history!

Shen Mengxi must show up!

Because the details of the MX studio were picked up by Korean netizens...

A film invested by a foreign company actually won the box office championship for two consecutive years - last year's "Very Anchor", this year's "Haeundae"...

Have you paid your protection money?

Handed over, all projects, CJ Media Agency Distribution and participation in 20% of the investment...

Not enough, you're not Korean!

Shen Mengxi has to deal with it in detail, South Korea's side, it's not easy to do, and he is not ready to do it.

Wrap it up, leave an office, and be responsible for a book and two shots...

But he didn't expect that when he arrived in South Korea, Xijie Media proposed to make a co-production...
