"Avatar" is of course great, Shen Mengxi likes it very much, but in essence, "Avatar" is just a popcorn commercial film...

It's normal for little plums to not like it.

I guess Martin Scorsese doesn't like it either...

But he can't scold Cameron, because Cameron is also a god.

'Marvel movies are theme parks', and it's good that you have a good relationship with George Lucas, otherwise, people will beat you to death!

Isn't Star Wars a theme park?

The Marvel tree is just a big move, and stepping on Marvel movies is also a mainstream trend in Hollywood!

In those years, commercial fast food films represented by Marvel squeezed the living space of independent films to a certain extent, and the resources for more literary and independent films became less and less.

So, a lot of people spray Marvel...

Of course, Shen Mengxi does not agree with this point of view - he likes both coffee and garlic!

And it's this kind of fast food movie that gives new life to the cinema industry...

Therefore, the reporter asked Leonardo why he didn't like "Avatar", Shen Mengxi smiled: "I talked to the two of you about this problem, filmmakers all over the world are faced with such a choice, some choose the public, and some are art first!"

"But there is no difference between the two, you have your poems and distance, I have my firewood, rice, oil and salt..."

"In terms of market demand, the audience needs popcorn movies more, and watching movies is a way for everyone to be entertained and leisure, in this case, the audience is of course more willing to watch some movies that make them relaxed. Art films have their own meaning of existence, and there will be people who appreciate art films, but it is difficult for art films to become a public hobby, so the global box office of "Manchester by the Sea" is only one-ninth of "Avatar"!"

"Alright, that's all for today... Don't forget to support "Inception", China Film has been confirmed to introduce it, and it should be released in late August!"

......

Regarding this promotional event, Li Yiping was very angry, because of such a good opportunity, Shen Mengxi didn't let his stars brush their faces...

She has thought of the title'Xiao Li came to China to promote "Manchester by the Sea", and Mengxi's stars appeared to support'...

At least you can take advantage of the light...

Take a group photo or something...

Zhao Jinsong was also a little dissatisfied, such a good opportunity, he didn't invite the relevant leaders of the Film Bureau.

You can even invite some allies to participate!

Shen Mengxi was quite speechless, this is a normal movie promotion, what's the use of all the bells and whistles?

Marvel's ten-year creator meeting, a bunch of singers sang...

The name is beautiful: Marvel is a niche culture, and singers need to drain it...

Well, it's really niche, singers can give rebates, Marvel stars give a gross rebate?

So, welcome our famous local artists!

In the face of their doubts, Shen Mengxi was too lazy to answer...

Just said, 'There's no need!'

Wait a few more years, a bunch of Hollywood stars will come to China to promote, compare it, and you will know how professional this event is!

Anyway, Xiao Lizi's publicity in China accounted for a day's heat, and the major media reported in detail...

But he is not the little plum who has been defeated repeatedly, so there are few sympathy votes.

"Manchester by the Sea" had a box office of 8 million on the first day, which is decent...

After all, this is just a Hollywood movie with a narrative nature, not a big special effects blockbuster...

The main thing is that this film has already had an HD version on the Internet...

Plus March 10 is a Wednesday, a working day.

Therefore, the results of 32 million in the first week, Mengxi Company was quite surprised.

It's so high!

There are many praises on the Internet, and the Douban score is as high as 8.8 points.

"It's a very sadistic story, but the director uses fragmented and subtle narratives and flashbacks to make the whole film with full restraint. The seemingly unreasonable arrangement of priorities and priorities just reflects the most real life scene of this man. ”

"I don't think 'Manchester by the Sea' is weaker than 'Carmen in Mong Kok'!"

"There are always people who don't want to and can't make peace with their past lives, even if their feet are muddy and full of fetters, life still has to have a direction to continue!"

The second high comment is very interesting, Shen Mengxi gave it a thumbs up...

......

Film Bureau, Shen Mengxi came over to tear up...

The word tearing is inappropriate, it should be said to come and negotiate!

The first application for "Walking with God" failed to pass the review...

The story of "Walking with God" is quite simple: the fantasy story of the hero undergoing 7 levels of trial with the messenger of the underworld in 49 days after his death.

Death, Hades, judgment...

Full stepping on a horse is a sensitive word!

"Leader, this movie is really suitable for making big special effects, just for the design of the underworld, we have drawn more than 2,000 concept sketches..."

"If this scene is filmed, not to mention whether it can make money, at least more than 5,000 special effects staff have been trained, which is the beginning of our film industrialization!"

Tong Gangye is the director of the film bureau, and he shook his head: "Why don't you make a science fiction film like "Avatar"?"

Shen Mengxi said very bluntly: "This design to the aesthetics of the movie, we have not experienced the industrial revolution, the Chinese people are difficult to have an emotional connection with science and technology, industry, directly shoot the kind of robots ravaging the earth, no one watches! Not to mention anything else, the steel suit of "Iron Man" opens to be a Chinese, you feel awkward!"

"The difficulty in making Chinese science fiction films is actually how to find that cultural and spiritual core in the first place. Why do we want to make "Painted Skin" an oriental fantasy? It is because this theme does not belong to any existing film theme! "Walking with God" is really a thing that conforms to the aesthetics of the East Asian nation!"

Tong Gang hesitated for a moment: "But you are involved in the underworld, reincarnation, and the messenger of the underworld..."

"Can't we just open the net? Other countries can shoot it, but we can't shoot it? It's really not good, I'll write it first, and then adapt it?"

Tong Gang: "... How much are you prepared to invest?"

"To get the effect we want, we need at least 300 million..."

"300 million?

"Yes, we raise our own funds and do it ourselves! And this is a trilogy story, all of which will be completed, and at least 10 billion will be needed!"

“... Can you recoup your costs?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the market is developing rapidly, I always feel that next year or the year after, our total box office should rise to 20 billion, and by that time, at least 1.5 billion will start with the head works!"

"You mean it can surpass Avatar?"

Shen Mengxi immediately came to his senses: "The production of this movie is two and a half years, and I guarantee that it will be released before 2013, and it will definitely surpass the box office of "Avatar"!"

Tong Gang hesitated: "Can't be released next year?"

“... The special effects can't keep up, and the shooting is very simple, and it can be completed in six months at most, but..."

"The summer of 2012 is handed over to you... Two years!" Tong Gang sighed: "I won't hide it from you, Hollywood has recently urged us to expand the number of imported films and increase the share ratio, this matter has to be resolved, at the end of next year at most..."

“... Then I'll work hard to get the 2012 summer file and do a good job in this project!"

"Well," Tong Gang nodded, Shen Mengxi was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something: "Mengxi!"

"What's wrong, Tong Bureau?"

“... Some comrades say that you don't have a sense of the overall situation!"

Shen Mengxi was anxious: "What? I don't have a big picture? I speak Chinese on the Oscar podium!"

It's almost like hanging a sign on the table that says 'I am from the Republic of China'!

Is this called not having a big picture?

“... Unite your comrades!"

“？？”

Tong Gang was helpless: "Next month's Academy Awards, you can go for a trip!"

"What am I going to do there, I don't... Oh, I see!"
