If you don't meet your expectations, you lose?

The faces of the capitalists are really speechless!

31 million on the first day, what do you still want to do?

This word-of-mouth, this first-day result, 300 million proper!

"Okay, you ask the publicity department to pay more attention, and also, the box office situation in South Korea will be followed up in real time, I have a hunch that the Korean version can also create a lot of box office revenue this time!"

“... Got it. ”

Zhao Jinsong turned his head and wanted to leave, but Shen Mengxi confessed again: "Don't be careful, this is our first work in one book and two shots, it's very important!"

"Mengxi, I don't quite understand. ”

"What?"

"Why don't you choose China and the United States?"

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment: "I chose it, "Shark Beach" is a version of China and the United States!"

"I mean, "Twenty Years Old", I mean, isn't it a version in China and the United States? The U.S. market's rate of return and influence far exceed that of the South Korean market!"

Shen Mengxi was a little embarrassed: "... I also thought of the U.S. market when I was almost done shooting..."

"Okay, I see..."

Why not one version for China and the United States?

Because the strategy of one book and two shots was originally aimed at Sino-Korean co-production!

Shen Mengxi didn't think about the United States at all!

Later, he checked the relevant information - the box office of similar movies, such as "17 Years Old Again", the North American box office is 65 million US dollars, "Growing Up", the North American box office is 101 million US dollars, and "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", the North American box office has also exceeded 100 million...

What does it mean?

As long as the story is not bad, with a few good actors, this kind of 'dream come true' type movie is still very marketable in North America.

Chicken soup is popular all over the world, and it's not for nothing!

This is the most important reason for his independent production.

But when this happened, the Chinese and Korean versions of "Twenty Years Old Again" had already been promoted - the Shanghai Film Festival, the China-Korea Film Summit, and the Busan Film Festival were all promoted...

You can't cut the Korean version and make the American version instead, right?

......

Zhao Jinsong left, Shen Mengxi clicked on the computer to read the news, Song Hang walked in with a serious face, and told Shen Mengxi a very sad news:

"Thomas doesn't want to do 'The Wall' anymore? Why?"

“... He felt that the story was not to American taste... And also... He probably doesn't trust your directing abilities very much!"

"The point is the second one, right?"

Shen Mengxi was quite angry...

Fu is not to the taste of the Americans, it is simply an excuse!

The top 10 box office lists of foreign language films in North America include "Motorcycle Diaries", and even "Che Guevara" was released in the United States...

- As long as there is profit, not to mention the military and civilian fish and water, they dare to shoot "Castro"!

In the final analysis, Legendary Pictures still can't look down on Shen Mengxi!

Song Hang smiled bitterly and explained: "... They may think that you haven't made a similar movie before, so they don't dare to invest!"

“... My "Manchester by the Sea" sold nearly $400 million worldwide, and it is not lost to many commercial film directors at the box office!"

"But 'Manchester by the Sea' is a drama, and it belongs to the fringe genre..."

"What do they think?"

Song Hang: "They want to invite Hollywood directors to direct this film..."

That's right, Shen Mengxi is not a mainstream director, and he is also the producer and producer of "The Great Wall".

Legendary Pictures has reason to doubt Shen Mengxi's ability.

But looking for a Hollywood director to direct "The Great Wall"?

Shen Mengxi was speechless: "Hollywood understands China!"

"Legendary Pictures' expectation for "The Great Wall" is $400 million, of which the North American box office must exceed 100 million... The mainland box office they think is at most $150 million..."

"They don't look down on the Chinese market?"

"How is it possible..."Song Hang first denied it, and then said: "But the Chinese market has not yet reached the level of the Japanese benzene market!"

It's also...

Even this year, with the blessing of several bumper harvests of Mengxi's films, the mainland box office was only 12 billion...

Not as good as Japan, the United Kingdom, and France.

Temporarily ranked fifth in the box office revenue of the film market...

"How much does Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai cost?"

"100 million US dollars, the Japanese benzene market contributed more than 120 million US dollars to the box office!"

“... Treat it differently!"

Shen Mengxi was a little unhappy...

Of course not "The Last Samurai", how good the movie is...

The broken movie is actually a white savior: Tom's character kills her husband, stabs her brother, and finally soaks in the widow, which is Chiguoguo's colonial aggression!

Also known as "The First U.S. Army in Japan"...

Ending: Tom Cruise ends up returning to the village where there are basically no men left, and takes over everything: the land, the honest peasants, and of course, the women left behind by the dead samurai... Isn't this too ironic and realistic?

This broken movie has a Douban score of 8.0 points!

Is there any mistake?

"They don't want to invest and they don't want to give us the project..."

"Then get rid of them and let's play by ourselves!"

"That's... The title of the film is not easy for us..."

"That's a problem..."The Great Wall" is a great title!"

Shen Mengxi also hesitated...

A good movie title can ensure more than half of the movie's revenue, such as "Breaking into the Widow's Village at Night", "Girlfriends"...

"I'm going to the Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival in a few days, and I'll meet Thomas Torre when the time comes!"

"Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival?"

"Find some overseas releases for "Donkey Gets Water" and "Piano of Steel"..."

......

Shen Mengxi's attention is on "The Great Wall"...

But the Marché du Film is in full swing.

For this reason, "Twenty Years Old Again" had to seize every opportunity to gain exposure...

What's the best way to do it?

Roadshow, of course... And music spreads!

"Twenty Years Old Again" has a bunch of original music that can be called golden songs.

"Remembrance" and "Waiting for the Wind to Come" have both topped the major music charts.

In addition, "Twenty Years Old Again" also has a publicity point: the rookie director Su Lun is still a female director!

Before the company was ready to hype up Su Lun, Feng Xiaogang fired first.

On the 25th, he walked into the "New Lecture Hall" of Beijing Film Academy with "If You Are Honest 2", and shared various experiences such as film shooting with many students.

Then respond publicly to questions about product placement.

"Placement advertising and product placement are not the same concept, regarding the placement advertising of "Non 2", the producer Huayi Brothers is strictly in accordance with the **** eight-minute regulations to operate!

"I think some media are taking advantage of this issue to desperately crack down and vent their personal anger, including Xinhua News Agency, which is talking nonsense. The reporter, I know who it is, when I was in "Tangshan Earthquake", I said that Chinese movies are related to GDP. Our first-day box office surpassed "Avatar", and the reporter went to the Film Bureau to see what the numbers were, but after checking, there were still doubts. I don't understand why I should be angry at Chinese films, and then publish this kind of article, and sow discord, praising Jiang Wen over there, and belittling us here!"

Not only that, but he also posted five Weibo posts in a row against this reporter:

said that he did his best to discredit the booming Chinese film industry, and described the Chinese film industry as unsightly. And he can't come up with any hard basis, just speculation based on the hearts of villains, may I ask Zhou Ning of Xinhua News Agency, why do you have such a deep hatred for Chinese movies?
