"First, you have to have a concept, although the domestic market is developing rapidly, it seems that everyone has a concept, we are about to catch up with the United States, but I tell you the truth, it is impossible to surpass the United States in terms of movies for the time being, even if we develop into the world's largest market, we are just enclosing ourselves. In the entire film industry chain, we are inferior to others at the most high-end and the most basic. ”

"Second, let's do a good job in the domestic market first, don't keep thinking about going out, you can't go out, the world market share of American films is the unshakable default, and we can only compete with world movies in the remaining less than 10% of Hollywood's market share. ”

"Thirdly... Don't think too much about yourself, how much is the return rate of "Painted Skin"?

The fat man Chen on the other end of the phone was very unhappy: "... No, I'll just ask if you come to the celebration banquet or not, where do you get so many opinions?"

Shen Mengxi: "I designated... Don't be foolish, I saw you bragging in the Boston News!"

"Huh?"

“... Ah what, if you don't blow too hard, can Lao Mei know?

Instructed him, Shen Mengxi sighed, he did see the information of "PaintedSkin" in the "Boston News" just now, but Chen Liming's name did not appear...

Also, the North American distribution rights of "Painted Skin" are very unsuccessful, only one company called IFC Midnight Films is willing to bid $400,000 for the North American rights of "Painted Skin", they are not ready to be released, only ready to release DVDs...

If you just want to release a DVD, Shen Mengxi would have cooperated with Netflix a long time ago!

Although Shen Mengxi is filming here, he is in North America, of course, he has to solve the problem of North American distribution...

Liu Yifei suddenly hugged him from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that things didn't go so well..."

“... You are already amazing, you can finish filming a movie in half a month, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"What's the point of being alive without stress?"

Turning around, he looked at her: "I'm going back to China soon, what are you going to do?"

"I still want to audition for "The Legend of Chunli"..."

"Forget about "Chunli", I introduced you to a crew!"

"What crew? What project did you talk to Xiao Lizi about that day?"

"You think too much, that project will take at least half a year to shoot, how can I have time?"

Liu Yifei's expression was a little gloomy, but he still asked, "What kind of project is that?"

"Wolverine... I contacted Hugh Jackman and Lauren Donner, and they agreed to let you play Agent Zero..."

"Agent Zero?"

“... The villain of the X-Men series, a master of firearms, proficient in all kinds of firearms... Later he was killed by Wolverine..."

Liu Yifei pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Lauren Donner?"

"She is the producer and executive producer of the X-Men series, and she has the casting rights..."

"How did you convince her?"

"Then you don't care..."

How to convince?

Xiaozhi is emotional, moving is reasonable, okay, this sentence is nonsense, Shen Mengxi invited her to be the producer and producer of "The Divergent"...

"The day after tomorrow, when you go to the audition, remember to wear a suit, and it's a men's suit!"

“... Good!"

"Otherwise, you can wear it now!"

......

Shen Mengxi said it very easily, but for this role, David made a lot of efforts!

First of all, "X-Men" has the original comics, Agent 0 is an Asian man, this thing has been set up a long time ago, and you suddenly changed your gender?

What should I do if comic fans are not satisfied?

Fortunately, Agent 0 is only Asian...

If it's black, wait and protest!

Secondly, Liu Yifei really has no name in Hollywood, and she also has a brokerage company, which is asking her to prepare for "The Legend of Chunli"...

In the end, it was specific to Liu Yifei herself, she needed to receive at least two months of physical training in advance!

By the way, Shen Mengxi has finished filming "Manchester by the Sea", and it has been cut, and he is letting Yoko Kanno score it...

The original soundtrack, he felt a little inappropriate, and many places seemed a bit too much.

Yoko Kanno's style is very suitable, and she has scored several movies for Hirokazu Kore-eda, and the soundtrack in "Sea Street Diary" is amazing!

Gentle and delicate...

"Manchester by the Sea" itself is already very sad, so let's have a slightly milder soundtrack.

......

"Ali overwhelms a horse..."

In a movie theater in Japan, Yang Xiaomi and Zhang Hanyun bowed and thanked the audience, and by the way, they said the only Japanese they could speak...

It means 'thank you'...

"Painted Skin" is very popular in Japan, 260 million in the first week, 380 million in the second week, and 360 million in the third week...

In three weeks of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 1 billion yen...

Converted into RMB, it has exceeded 65 million!

There is no doubt that it has become the largest overseas ticket warehouse!

According to the forecast, the total box office can reach at least 1.5 billion yen, which is close to 100 million yuan!

surpassed "Shaolin Girl" supervised by Zhou Xingchi, and ranked among the top 20 on the box office list.

Looking at the crowd of fans holding the poster of "Painted Skin" at the door of the movie theater, Zhang Hanyun and Yang Xiaomi feel a little popular overseas...

In Japan, the posters of "Painted Skin" Zhang Hanyun and Yang Xiaomi stood in the C position, and the four protagonists stood around them...

"I knew that "Painted Skin" would be so popular, I should have come to promote it earlier!"

“... What I regret now is that the copyright of Japanese benzene is sold too low!"

"It's okay, there's still "Painted Skin 2"!"

"The Singapore box office has broken $1.5 million..."

“... Is $1.5 million a lot?"

"Box office champion for three weeks in a row!"

Several propagandists were talking about the copyright transaction of "Painted Skin" and the overseas situation, and Li Yiping received a phone call, and after hanging up, she told everyone: "Let's go back the day after tomorrow and have a celebration banquet, and by the way, we will publicize it again!"

Yang Xiaomi was anxious: "I'll go back the day after tomorrow?"

“... The boss is back, let's go meet the boss, and the script of "Painted Skin 2" should be released!"

"Painted Skin 2"...

Yang Xiaomi glanced at Zhang Hanyun, who was napping next to her, and silently calculated in her heart...

......

New York, Mengxi Studio, David played the completed "Human Removal Plan" to Shen Mengxi.

"What do you think?"

“... I think it's okay..."

Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes and gave a positive answer...

Damn, what was auctioned for $1.5 million can only go in the direction of cult...

"Who are we looking for to partner with the distribution?"

“... Twentieth Century Fox doesn't pick up?"

"I think it's better to find Lionsgate to release this kind of small-scale new film... The conditions they give are a little more favorable..."

"Really?"

"Of course!" David explained: "Lionsgate has been making horror and gore genre films all year round, and they have detailed data on potential audiences, and they can arrange venues for these audiences, and Fox will only spread the net..."

What this means is that if Fox takes over the distribution, the cost of publicity and distribution will be much more expensive than Lionsgate...

"No wonder "Ip Man" deducted me $9 million just for the announcement!"
