Chapter 183: Any news?

The next day, in the morning.

Shen Mengxi rushed to the airport early and returned to China in a hurry.

A bunch of things, the celebration of "Painted Skin"...

"Painted Skin 2" script checking, actor negotiation...

Two days ago, Zhao Jinsong told him that Chen Kun was sick - Wenqing was sick.

is like this, before becoming famous, Chen Kun had been working hard in Beijing.

From a bar singer in Chongqing to the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and then to the Beijing Film Academy, along the way, Chen Kun worked very hard and had better luck...

In his sophomore year, he accompanied his classmates to audition, and starred in "National Anthem", and he was the second male lead Nie Er!

Then "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", "Balzac and the Little Tailor", and "The Family of Gold Powder" became the most popular students in the mainland...

"Painted Skin", he has become the highest-grossing young actor in the mainland again...

Do the math yourself, in addition to Zhang Hanyu in "The Assembly", which other movie with a box office of more than 100 million is a mainland actor?

Uncle Ge hasn't even mixed into 200 million male protagonists!

But can he compare to Uncle Ge?

Obviously, there is no comparison!

In other words, he's a little weak-hearted!

He felt like he had done nothing, so how could he be the only one?

- What really attracts the audience is the character, and I myself don't have that much charisma.

Then he felt agitated and thought about taking a break for half a year...

Zhao Jin was in a hurry, according to the plan, "Painted Skin 2" is set for the summer of 2010, Chen Kunke is the core figure of the actor trio, he wants to become a hermit, what about the project?

Shen Mengxi needs to convince him to go back this time!

In addition, "Painted Skin" has made money, and it is a series, I heard that there are many forces who want to get involved...

"Painted Skin" has been in theaters for 25 days, with a cumulative box office of more than 282 million, and is heading towards 300 million, which has become a miracle!

Rounds of seminars have been held...

In recognition of its outstanding contribution to market performance...

Wu Ershan was also invited by many bosses - simply recovering the cost in the domestic market can make a lot of money, such a director is too rare!

The outside world thinks that the core of "Painted Skin" is the director, but the industry knows very well that the success of "Painted Skin" is the credit of Shen Mengxi from beginning to end!

He wrote the script, he found the actors and directors, and even the investment was brought in by him...

All-round and professional!

Huayi, Xiaoma, Bona, and even Chengtian arranged special people to go to this celebration banquet...

Even if you can't cooperate, at least don't be guilty...

......

"I'm still in the United States..."

"I didn't audition for "The Legend of Chun-Li"... Don't make a noise yet... I went to audition for Wolverine. ”

"Mengxi helped me introduce the project, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be selected..."

"Could it be that if I audition for "The Legend of Chunli", I can guarantee that I will play the role?"

"Hollywood doesn't give the lead actor to an Asian actor!"

"Otherwise, the male protagonist of "The King of Kung Fu" would not be an American child!"

"Asian-American actors want to be in Hollywood... Ha ha... I'm sorry, Mom..."

Liu Yifei was still very serious about communicating with her mother, talking about the plight of Asian actors in Hollywood, and suddenly thought of what Shen Mengxi said that the most discriminatory place against Asian actors in the world is not Hollywood, but the San Fernando Valley - the Pron market in Europe and the United States, Asian actors I have seen an Asian brother for so many years... Or saw a scene by extreme chance...

Her response at the time was very simple, she glanced at his lower body with disdain, and then was tossed by Shen Mengxi, who was annoyed and angry, for a whole night...

“... I'm fine, if you're bored in China, come to the United States to accompany me, I just have to train for two months..."

Hanging up the phone, she was bored, looked at the room layout, and seemed to still have a feeling left in Shen Mengxi...

......

Shen Mengxi came out of the airport with a shoulder bag, and was caught by several reporters...

Or the paparazzi - they specialize in thieves at the exit of the airport, try their luck, if they are lucky, they can take some private photos of celebrities and give them to newspapers and magazines, ranging from 300 to 5,000 yuan each.

Ran into Shen Mengxi, luck...

It's okay, his popularity is quite high!

“... Mengxi, are you coming back from the United States?"

"Yes..."

Shen Mengxi looked at the time, the plane arrived half an hour early, and it was estimated that the person who picked him up hadn't come yet, so he simply found a place to sit down.

There happened to be a drink shop next to the airport, and Shen Mengxi walked in...

"What do you want to drink?

"I'm sorry about that..."

Although these people say so, they are not polite in action...

As the saying goes, if you eat someone else's mouth, you will have a soft hand.

And Shen Mengxi also has a lot of things to ask these reporters...

The first thing they asked was: "Manchester by the Sea?"

"It's almost over..."

"I heard that "Manchester by the Sea" is used for the Olympics?"

"How can I say that I don't win an award or not? My purpose in filming this scene is to tell many so-called seniors that I understand movies!"

"How are the North American distribution rights of Painted Skin sold?"

“... It didn't go well, but the Canadian copyright owner arranged a test screening in several regions, and the market feedback was not good, which led to our sales in the United States not going well..."

"What then?"

"There are two ways now, either to post money to do the distribution by yourself, but this must be prepared for a long-term discount, or simply sell the copyright, and Netflix is willing to buy out the copyright of "Painted Skin" for $1 million..."

"You may not know that in North America, Hollywood films will always account for more than 95 percent of the North American market, and imported films account for up to 5 percent, and most of them are in niche art theaters! Three-quarters of those 5 percent are British films! Therefore, "Ip Man" has achieved a box office of 20 million US dollars, which is already a big miracle! Netflix took "Painted Skin", and it may only sell DVDs..."

After a pause, Shen Mengxi added: "What I'm worried about now is that once the mainland market is up, Chinese films don't need to go out to eat a lot, and at that time, do we still need to go out?"

"Don't talk about me, what's the news lately?"

A fat man paused for a moment before replying, "... The biggest news is that the box office of "Painted Skin" is about to break 300 million, you are the producer and producer, do you think this is possible?"

"There should be a chance to break 300 million, "Wanted" did not play a role in blocking, and only one movie released in November, "007", is a blockbuster... But that film was only released on the 5th, and ten days is enough for "Painted Skin" to exceed 300 million!"

"How much can you earn if you break 300 million?"

“... This is confidential..."Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "Actually, I don't know how much I can earn, in fact, the cost has already been recovered, and Cannes sold the copyright for 11 million US dollars..."

Speaking of this, he was a little dissatisfied: "Is there any other news besides "Painted Skin"?"

“... Does Zhao Wei still have a battle for the coffee position of Zhou Xun?"

"The battle for coffee positions, what's there to fight about? They are even, the two heroines, when I invited, the contract was clearly written!"

"It is said that Zhou Xun's salary is a little higher than Zhao Wei's?"

“... What is the exact number? I'll hear it, right?"

"They said that Zhou Xun was 2.2 million, Zhao Wei was 1.8 million, and Chen Kun was 1.6 million..."

The grass stepped on the horse, and the production team was so mouthy!

Otherwise, how could such a confidential matter as remuneration be exposed casually?

Shen Mengxi regained his smiling expression: "What do I have to be angry about, film and television, entertainment, media, and gossip are an industrial chain, movies are big sellers, and actors' trivial matters can be used to hype, attract readers, and feed a magazine... What else?"

A short man with glasses glanced at Shen Mengxi, and then said: "It is said that Liu Yifei appeared in the crew of "The Seaside", and photos flowed out..."

"Never... Have a photo?"
