Chapter 428: Empirical Judgment (8/8)
The original time and space, Yang Xiaomi was the Meiya who joined at the end of 09...
At that time, Hong Kong film production was very strong, and the mainland was still very sluggish.
Da Mimi misjudged the situation, thinking that at least in the few years she could see, the mainland would continue to stumble, so she decisively refused the invitation of a bunch of mainland companies to sign contracts and joined the Hong Kong circle wholeheartedly...
Many people commented that her move was equivalent to joining the national army in 49 years.
You don't want to think about it, does she have a better option?
She is not from the Beijing circle, and she can't match the northwest circle and the Shanghai circle at all, if she wants to enter the big screen, is there any other choice than to go south and get close to the Hong Kong circle?
Even if she did it again, it is estimated that she would choose this way...
But now it's different, Mengxi Company is really praising her!
"Shark Beach", "Ex Machina", and "Unidentified" are all in the works!
Especially "Shark Beach" has already selected a good director, Ray Warner, Wen Ziren's best friend...
The assistant director is Ren Pengyuan, a young director who is very interested in thrillers.
Invest 35 million - almost Yang Xiaomi's one-man show, shark special effects cost a little money...
"Ex Machina", produced by S Studio, tells the story of AI robots;
"Unidentified", produced by Warner Bros. and Dream Creek Studios, starring Liam Neeson, a suspenseful action film, the heroine Elizabeth changed to Asian...
Not counting Sino-US co-production, it should be stationed in China in the form of batch films...
Shen Mengxi said that standing is standing up, without a trace of ambiguity!
What can you play when you join Meiya?
"Dokdo Horror", partner expired Hong Kong star Chen Xiaochun?
Pull it down!
......
Zeng Jia didn't contact her boss, but Yang Xiaomi was in a much better mood anyway.
Solve a thought!
She has compared it in her heart, and she still thinks that the mainland market is a little higher...
The main Shen Mengxi is awesome!
Liu Shishi looked serious: "Is there a company poaching you?"
"Don't dig me, Sister Jia used to be my agent, and now she has jumped ship to Meiya Entertainment..."
"It's not called poaching, what's it called?"
Yang Xiaomi put her arm around her: "Okay... It's not like I didn't agree!"
"You didn't tell me about such a big thing?"
"I didn't think about it before, and then I wasn't busy promoting, if Jia hadn't called me, I really forgot about it!"
"Anyway, not next time!"
"Rest assured... Let's go, I'll treat you to ice cream. ”
The two walked out of the club holding hands, found a random ice cream shop, bought two boxes of ice cream with different flavors, and chose a window seat to sit down.
Liu Shishi licked his ice cream a few times, and then spoke: "I heard that after the company goes public, it plans to let a few of us set up our own studios. ”
"Personal studio?"
"Anyway, that's what Sister Cai said, she said that if we have a project we like in the future, we can find a company to develop it, we can invest ourselves, and we can also bring new people!"
"Bringing a new person?"
"It's the one who signed it himself!"
“... Isn't that the same as an independent company?"
"Yes, it's actually an independent company, but it's just keeping in touch with Tang Ren... I'll take a bite of yours. ”
Yang Xiaomi handed over the box, thought about it, and asked, "Then why did they let us open a studio?
"I don't know, I haven't heard of any new people signing up... Yo, yours is chocolate!"
“... What about yours?"
"Mine is vanilla!"
"The vanilla smell is not good... It's funny if it smells like coriander!"
"How do you say, if the company agrees to you to open your own studio, will you go out on your own?"
Yang Xiaomi was entangled for a moment: "Besides, I just want "33 Days of Broken Love" to break 200 million as soon as possible... Alas, next year's "Rain of Swords" will be released, and the day after tomorrow "Tongtian Empire" will be released, why are you so unlucky!"
Liu Shishi said very experiencedly: "National Day file, there must be fierce competition..."
......
"Rain of Swords"...
The advertisement says that the cost is 80 million.
I guess it's!
The props are simple, there is no big scene, and it is estimated that it will be more than 40 million at most!
Michelle Yeoh is very expensive.
The other actors are basically here to help.
After all, the producer is Wu Yusen, and his face is still quite easy to sell.
Reputedly... It is still said that "Rain of Swords" Venice sold $5 million for overseas rights.
This may be true, Wu Yusen was crowned with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Venice some time ago...
Insert a sentence, now Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are all package production, for example, "Jingwu Fengyun", Liu Weiqiang and Chen Jiashang have 40 million packages - excluding actors' salaries, this package work refers to the cost of the machine, film costs, venues, costumes, props, makeup and other expenses, the remuneration of all staff and various expenses during the filming, accommodation, etc., as well as the cost of post-production...
Therefore, "Jingwu Fengyun" is really expensive, at least 80 million was spent!
"Sword Rain" is relatively cheap, Shen Mengxi can see at a glance that the cameras used are red one - this kind of camera belongs to the most popular, it is only 200,000 yuan to buy one, and the rent is 1000 a day...
The cameras used in "33 Days of Broken Love" are all Sony F35, three, and the rent for a day is fifteen thousand.
Wu Yusen is really searching!
This movie...
It's good, but it's certainly not a hit!
A lot of people say that casting failed!
It's really - if you choose Big S, you have to bear the name of a bad movie, whether you are a bad movie or not, when the audience sees Big S, they subconsciously think it's a bad movie!
This is called word-of-mouth backlash, which has its own customer chase effect.
To put it more clearly: the Douban score automatically drops by 1-2 points!
Yang Xiaomi, Fan Biscuit, and the sect leader all know each other...
And the publicity of "Sword Rain" is very disgusting, the main propaganda is Big S, and then, the propaganda team has in their brains, so they use Big S's body for publicity:
makes a fuss about her breasts, body curves, and nude scenes, giving audiences who are interested in watching movies a sense of bad movie prediction.
For the main audience of martial arts films, instead of giving them what they want to see when they are promoted, they are given what they hate, and this kind of propaganda is to drive the audience out!
Why make a fuss about Big S?
Because there are no other stars!
Zheng Yusheng?
I don't know!
Michelle Yeoh... It's so old!
What a problem for propagandists!
Also, I don't know what's going on recently, the propaganda always goes down three ways, "Jingwu Fengyun" advertises "Donnie Yen's large-scale fruit dew"; "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" focuses on Li Lianhua forcibly forcing Andy Lau; "Sword Rain" is not far behind to expose the big S color to tempt Wang Xueqi;
If the scale is mastered, it is beautiful, and if it deviates slightly, it becomes obscene and dirty.
It can only be said that in terms of publicity, Mengxi Company is at least several positions ahead of a bunch of domestic film companies.
After watching the movie, Shen Mengxi got close to Liu Yifei's ears: "The movie is good, but it definitely doesn't sell well!"
The young lady is still immersed in emotion - I would like to be incarnated as a stone bridge, blown by five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, just begging her to walk across the bridge.
Hearing this, he hurriedly asked: "... Why?"
"There is no explosion... Just wait and see..."
