It's not a compliment from Lao Wang, that's what it is.

In China, except for a few heads, there is really no film company that is not afraid of Mengxi.

The reason is very simple, the market capacity at this stage, the same schedule, can't fit more than two blockbusters at all!

A win-win situation is impossible, only one can be eliminated.

"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" is under the mess of "Twenty Years Old Again", the box office is only 310 million...

That's the trump card combination of Feng Xiaogang + Ge You + Wang Shuo.

"Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", Tsui Hark's film that has returned to his peak state in recent years, met "33 Days of Broken Love"...

They are too accurate in judging the market!

So, I heard that there was no special arrangement for Mengxi on this year's National Day, and Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief...

"Does "Painted Wall" have anything to do with "Painted Skin"?"

Shen Mengxi asked knowingly.

Wang Changtian was a little embarrassed...

"Painted Wall" is a film that follows the trend of "Painted Skin".

This is considered the norm in the market, domestic genre films are in the cultivation period, and any phenomenal film that explodes at the box office will bring a large number of follow-up works.

"Painted Skin" knocked on the door of the oriental magic market, and "New Chinese Ghost Story" and "Di Renjie" can be regarded as borrowing from the magic style...

However, the publicity of "Painted Wall" is indeed a bit shameless, rubbing "Painted Skin", obviously investing 40 million, blowing it into a blockbuster!

Why 40 million?

The production was completely packaged to Chen Jiashang's team, 28 million - "Jingwu Fengyun" failed, and Chen Jiashang's price dropped a little...

The actor's salary plus one piece is up to 10 million.

Lao Wang explained: "It is also the story of Liaozhai, Zhu Xiaolian rushed to take the exam... The director found Chen Jiashang..."

"I know the story..."

""Liao Zhai" still has a lot of things suitable for adaptation!"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "The movie world of "Painted Skin" is actually built on the basis of Liaozhai..."

"How much do you think a movie like 'Painted Wall' can gross?"

"I haven't seen it yet, so let me talk about the box office?"

"Based on your judgment, the type, the director, the schedule..."

"It shouldn't be difficult to exceed 100 million, if you want to be higher, you have to look at the movie itself and the performance of the movies in the same schedule. ”

Lao Wang nodded: "We think so too, Hong Kong directors basically perform in this market, and we signed a contract with Chen Jiashang for five films..."

"Five plays?"

"Last year's "Jingwu Fengyun", this year's "Painted Wall" and "Four Famous Catches"..."

In those years, in addition to Huayi's backing to the Beijing circle, most mainland filmmakers had to rely on Hong Kong film directors...

A few days ago, Guangguang announced 15 film plans, "Wudang Fengyun", "Speed Angel", "Royal Treasure", "Negotiator", "Sleepwalking 3D" and "The Four Famous Catches"...

Of course, these are only possibilities for cooperation on paper, and there are not many films that end up in the film...

It seems that "Speed Angel" and "Four Famous Catches" were finally released.

"The Four Famous Catches?"

"Do you have an idea?"

"The overseas market for martial arts action movies is okay, but Wen Ruian's is not easy to adapt!"

“... It's okay, let's try it too..."

After thinking about it, Lao Wang invited: "Your actors can come to audition!"

“... Okay, let me tell them, it's a pity that the four famous catchers are all men, and many female actors in our company are in good shape. ”

Shen Mengxi did it on purpose...

Because of "The Four Famous Arrests", he knows that in the Chinese version of "X-Men", the four famous catchers have their own unique skills, a ruthless lady who can read people's hearts, a cold-blooded one who can turn into a werewolf at any time, and a quicksilver chasing the wind, so the iron hand is a little more normal...

That's right, ruthless is an actress!

This series is a terrible resource, but it's also a good resource.

It's quite mainstream, Liu Yifei is definitely not suitable, give it to the other actors under it!

Sure enough, Lao Wang followed his words: "Ruthless seems to have changed to a woman, I will notify Chen Jiashang and let him audition..."

......

Lao Wang is probably the saddest in all the Chinese entertainment literature!

Huayu Wen, the protagonist is bound to get involved in several movies: "Thai Embarrassment", "Mermaid" and "Nezha"...

It just so happens that these three are all produced and distributed by Light...

"Thai Embarrassment" is very important to the light, relying on this film, the light reversed the previous impression, not to mention, but also made Lao Wang's business strategy change, from relying on the Hong Kong circle to vigorously supporting and cultivating new directors.

Shen Mengxi has a good impression of him, this guy is quite hard, because he lost his iron job in the first episode of "Beijing Express", he simply established Guangguang, and later because of TV and programs to buy ratings, he simply stopped Guangguang's related business, stopped doing TV business, and turned to online dramas!

But no matter how good you feel, it is impossible to let "Thai Embarrassment" out.

You have to take advantage of it!

......

Shen Mengxi walked out of the booth with a wine glass...

The amount of wine in the glass, how much at the beginning, and how much it still is.

A sip is a sip...

He was going to talk to Ning Hao, and the people from Showbox contacted Song Hang a few days ago, saying that if Ning Hao wants to make "Hanjiang Monster 2", he can talk about the script...

it!

Ning Hao is going to South Korea for development?

Then, she met Yang Xiaomi, and she mysteriously told Shen Mengxi that she was going to Cannes in a few days!

"What are you doing in Cannes?"

“... Promote "Shark Beach" and "Giant Crocodile Storm", what's the matter? I can't go?"

"It's not... My brain is a bit of a mess..."

"Shark Beach" and "Giant Crocodile Storm" will appear in Cannes, selling films...

In Cannes this year, Mengxi Company has a lot of films to sell, so I simply chartered a few rooms in advance in the hotel ten minutes' walk from the Cinema Palace...

Specially entertain filmmakers with purchase intentions and good strength.

Mengxi has been selling films overseas for three or four years, and has accumulated a lot of customers, and mature buyers are more accustomed to this model of separate inter-company transactions.

The rooms cost 50,000 euros to rent during the festival, but the staff also live there, so the overall cost is not high.

Yang Xiaomi and Zhang Hanyun are estimated to go...

"The Little Fox and the Demon Hunter", as a derivative film of painted skin, is definitely a key project in Cannes this year!

He nodded and admonished by the way: "Well, then you pay attention!"

"Notice what?"

"Pay attention to etiquette..."

Yang Xiaomi looked at him strangely, a little bit unsure of the meaning of his words...

Just don't give the middle finger...

"Yang Xiaomi's Cannes red carpet was driven and gave her middle finger!"...

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "It's okay... By the way, if you want to shoot "The Four Famous Catches", you need a heroine, if you are interested, you can go and audition..."

"Okay!"

For Yang Xiaomi, resources are only enough, and there is no difference between good and bad...

"I'll go find Ning Hao... Do you want to be together?"

"I just came from him..."

"Then you eat something, I'll go by myself..."

Yang Xiaomi watched him leave...

She almost knew that it was probably impossible for her to have a relationship with Shen Mengxi...
