Chapter 199: The Comma (3/6)
"Latent" and "Before Dawn" are both spy war dramas.
Both works have their own merits.
Many people think that "Before Dawn" is not good enough, and when Sun Dapu found Liu Xinjie's phone, 031 had actually been completely leaked, and the back was just a loophole that could not be plugged...
Makes sense, there's one less inner monologue here!
If you add a paragraph...
Forget it, it's useless to add it, if you want to talk about logic, it's impossible to pass it at all...
In the old China, which was also a secret service agency, any brotherhood was fundamentally unreliable.
Since Liu Xinjie has major suspicions, he would rather kill the mistake than let it go.
At that time, the building was about to collapse, and for the spies, Liu's existence was a huge threat, because he knew too many things, and he could completely leak the bottom of the entire agency...
I just let him go...
However, there are advantages:
The spy is no longer a face-painted image, but a living person, and the individual's choice in national righteousness, family affection, and friendship is moving.
Moreover, the military commander of "Before Dawn" is a little wiser than the military commander of "Latent"...
Anyway, these two are spy war dramas with a Douban score of more than 9 points, and if they meet, there's no reason to miss them!
......
After a brief inventory, I feel that there are a lot of projects in hand...
Especially the TV series, "The Happy Past of Lao Ma's Family", "Latent", and "Eleven Steps" left by Mingxi are all good dramas and have found a broadcast platform.
The distribution department of the fat company is still quite strong, and the relationship with Beijing Satellite TV and Shanghai Satellite TV is good.
Mengxi Company has a bunch of repertoire of its own projects, in addition to "Snow Leopard", "The Temptation of Going Home", which has been filmed and is ready to be broadcast, as well as "Snail House" that is being filmed...
By the way, after "Snail House", Shen Mengxi is ready to separate from Teacher Liuliu...
"Mental Art" will give it to others!
After "Mental Art", she ran to the dark side of society and never returned...
"Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is in the late stage, and Zhejiang Satellite TV should buy the premiere rights;
"Painted Skin" is being filmed, and then there are "Fairy Sword III", "Xuanyuan Sword" series, "Step by Step Shocking"...
Although "Step by Step" has passed through hundreds of years to send beeps, it looks good, the pressure is not low, and it can make money, so it is still approved!
In addition, the screenwriter's studio, there are more than a dozen scripts being planned...
No, if it goes on like this, Mengxi Company will become a public enemy of the whole people!
There are so many dramas broadcast on the platform every year, so you can't cover it, right?
Or should you find a few more partners.
For example, media and radio media, TV and radio media, happy blue ocean and the like, or simply cooperate with TV stations to develop...
Money is a big deal!
It is impossible to cooperate with a private production company, and to make dramas in the mainland, the most important thing is the broadcast platform, and it is the safest to cooperate with a TV station!
......
With the arrival of November, the film market is tepid, and the single-day box office of "Painted Skin" has long fallen below 3 million...
The weekday box office didn't even reach 1 million...
On the one hand, after 35 days of release, the movie-watching boom has long passed, and on the other hand, high-definition piracy can be seen everywhere on the Internet.
However, the total box office of "Painted Skin" has reached 286 million, second only to "The City Full of Golden Armor" and "Red Cliff Shang", ranking third at the box office of domestic films!
And it's the lowest investment among the three movies!
Director Wu Ershan not only became famous in one fell swoop, but also directly became one of the highest-grossing directors.
A bunch of media are rushing to find Wu Ershan, and there are many companies that want to get closer to him...
Among them, there is no shortage of Huayi companies, and Huayi has always been eager for high-quality directors!
Then, many people couldn't contact him at all, and he went on vacation...
He also went to Weta Company to visit and study under Shen Mengxi's arrangement.
In short, the state of closed doors!
It was Shen Mengxi who took an exclusive interview.
And it's Southern Weekly.
It's also a comma after a busy year!
The person who interviewed him was Meng Xiaojing.
Shen Mengxi opened his mouth and said, 'Do you know why we made 'Painted Skin'? It's because it was ignored by Southern Weekly back then...'
Meng Xiaojing probably knows a little bit about the beginning and the end - "Southern Weekly" originally planned to do a feature on Chen Liming, but was cut off by Li Shaohong...
She apologized, and Shen Mengxi smiled and waved her hand: "It's understandable, after all, we only released "Crazy Stone" at that time, and the newcomers in the circle are not famous." ”
"It's normal to hold high and step low, this is the normal state of life, the first time I followed the group, I met all kinds of people in the crew, all kinds of caution, now there are all good people around me, every one of them is full of smiling faces!"
"I estimate that late-blooming actors feel this feeling more deeply, after I graduated, I became a best-seller in half a year, and it is rare to see a cold reception!"
The first topic was revealed, Meng Xiaojing watched him drink tea with a cup, waited for him to put down the cup, and asked: "At the beginning of the year, I asked you, how dare you do "Painted Skin", how do you answer now?"
"I just want to make blockbusters, and I can make money!"
"Movies have commercial attributes and literary qualities, and the mistake we usually make is to hope that a film will win both praise from film critics and a bumper box office!
"So, you simply gave up on literary sex?"
"No, the composition and costumes of "Painted Skin" are very beautiful, we invited the most professional costumer, and the photographer is Mr. Zhao Xiaoding, the royal photographer of director Zhang Yi... These are all cinematic aesthetics, but outside of aesthetics, we tell a very simple story, easy to understand..."
Meng Xiaojing nodded, and then asked: "Many critics, for example, Hong Huang said that "Painted Skin" is too simple, it is enough to deceive the common people, but it is not enough to deceive the intellectuals... What do you think of this view?"
Shen Mengxi shook his head speechlessly: "Of course, mainstream movies must stand with mainstream audiences!"
"There is a set of methods that can never be wrong for film critics in our country, and that is to talk about art for commercial films, and talk about business for art films!"
"It's two different things!"
"So, I never actively pay attention to this information, it's a complete waste of time, and I can't tell who is good or bad... If it's a reasonable suggestion, you can talk about movies in terms of worldview construction, instead of pitting intellectuals against ordinary audiences, it's too self-righteous!"
"Then what do you think of the box office of "Painted Skin"? Is the box office of 286 million high or low in your opinion?"
Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment, and then replied seriously: "It's a bit low... If it weren't for the impact of piracy, I think it would have broken 300 million within 20 days of release!"
"Under today's market conditions, a big schedule can appear with a movie that breaks 300 million!"
Meng Xiaojing changed the topic again, and she asked: "How did the script idea of "Human Removal Plan" come about?"
“... It was when I was living in the United States that I learned about the American Robbery Control Act, and then I thought of such a setting..."
"The ugliness of human nature without a legal framework?"
"I can say the same thing, mainly because I think the so-called liberal rampant is a terrible thing!"
"What do you think about freedom and democracy?"
“... I don't talk about that, I'm not a public knower!"
Meng Xiaojing was disappointed...
"Southern Weekly" likes to talk about Western democracy and freedom, I originally thought that Shen Mengxi was also a fellow practitioner, and I wanted to give him a chance to make his debut...
He didn't buy it at all!
