This year's National Day file is indeed called a thousand horses...

This is based on a solid theory backwards - "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" 286 million, as if it succeeded...

However, the slogan shouted by Huayi is 'over 500 million'!

The slogan shouted by "Jingwu Fengyun" is more than 300 million;

"Rain of Swords" said a conservative estimate: 150 million!

"Hawthorn Tree", 200 million is just the beginning...

You see, menacing...

None of the actual results met expectations.

The worst is "Rain of Swords", with an investment cost of more than 100 million yuan and a mainland box office of 60 million...

At this time period, "33 Days of Broken Love" is the best, smashing its 10 million ticket supplements, forcing the film to be scheduled.

Let's do word of mouth first...

As for "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", there is basically no need for Mengxi Company to buy a water army, some are 'film critics' who are caught and sprayed, and the movie has not yet been released, Hong Xuan has organized an 'anti-Zhang Yimou Alliance', and sprayed directly: Zhang Yimou is an old-fashioned director, I don't think he can shoot this kind of heart-wrenching love. You know, it's still old-fashioned, there's nothing new at all, he's imitating and copying himself, it's too cheap. Isn't he promoting "the cleanest love in history"? But some of the scenes in him are too unwatchable, and any romance film is just a blue film. I felt like I was ***** by him.

"Jingwu Fengyun" travels to Venice, and then rolls back in the dust...

It's been exposed...

"Rain of Swords" was not an opponent from the beginning!

is also "Babel Empire", but "Babel Empire" and "33 Days of Broken Love" are not the same genre at all...

Therefore, Shen Mengxi is really not in a hurry at all.

......

Ning Hao asked, "Mengxi, do you still have a good book?"

“... There is an idea called "Don't Stop the Camera", which tells the story of the birth of a bad movie..."

"The Birth of a Bad Movie?"

"It is to tell the story of a crew who works hard to create a bad movie, the first half hour is a movie, the middle half an hour tells about various problems, and the last is sublimation: Your so-called bad movie is my work, and I never treat every work perfunctory!"

Xu Zheng nodded: "... It's a good idea, it's funny and deep..."

"There's also a bit of black humor, that is, the script hasn't been written yet, if you have an idea, you can find a few people to save a book, shooting this kind of movie is like playing, it's very interesting!"

Ning Hao nodded: "I'll go back to find my wife and touch my thoughts..."

Shen Mengxi smiled bitterly: "The problem now is that we haven't made a bad movie, and we don't know how a bad movie was born!"

Xu Zheng laughed: "... It's not easy to make a bad movie..."

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "It's not simple, an ordinary bad movie is very simple, but can you shoot a film below 3 points on Douban?"

Xu Zheng shook his head: "No, I don't have the ability..."

"So, we have to learn from the experience... Eh, didn't that "Hee Travel" contact you?"

"The script is so bad, I don't lack money, so I didn't go!"

“... How rotten is it?"

Song Hang suddenly interjected: "... Boss, don't we have a Mingxi company that has made a bunch of low-cost horror films..."

"Ahem..."

Shen Mengxi coughed deliberately...

"Low-budget horror?"

"You did "Flower Curse", "Horror Apartment", and "July and a Half" a few days ago?"

Shen Mengxi explained: "... Make a little money and fill the theater chain, the producers of these films are basically major theaters, and I will earn some screenwriter fees and raise more than 100 screenwriters!"

“... Is it profitable?"

"It's very profitable, mainly because rural digital screenings have been up in recent years, comedy, war and horror films are the three favorite types of rural digital cinemas, rural digital cinemas sell for ten or twenty yuan a game, depending on the number of clicks, some films can sell four or five million or even tens of millions a year, it's hard to say. ”

Song Hang nodded: "We have participated in more than 20 low-cost horror films in the past three years, with an average profit rate of about 60%, and there is no loss!"

"Then you must know bad movies..."

Shen Mengxi was embarrassed: "That's it, I'll introduce a screenwriter to you, and he gave birth to the death series, the midnight series, and the horror series..."

Ning Hao nodded, indicating that he would be spared...

Xu Zheng: "What about me?"

Shen Mengxi got up directly and took out two notebooks from the drawer: "These two notebooks are good." ”

Xu Zheng took it and took a look, "The Big Winner" and "Sherlock on the Plains": "The Big Winner" is adapted from the Korean movie "Live Spontaneously", the starring role is best ordinary-looking, Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei, Huang Bo are all OK;

"Solving cases in the countryside?"

Ning Hao was very interested and grabbed it and took a look...

It is true that the countryside solves the case...

The story is very simple, Chaoying flips over a new house, rushes to the United States and Shuhe to help, but unexpectedly Shuhe is admitted to the hospital due to an accidental car accident, the driver hits and runs, Chaoying and Jianmei incarnate as "plain detectives" and embark on a ridiculous and absurd journey to chase the murderer...

"I'm going to find Zhang Yimou to shoot this film!"

"What?"

"Don't you think you're really thinking about "Something to Say"..."

Xu Zheng: "I don't think... And why did Zhang Yimou take you this play?"

Ning Hao: "Even if he is willing to take it, can Zhang Weiping agree?"

"Don't worry, this time next year, I can guarantee that Zhang Yimou will be the contracted director of our company!"

Shen Mengxi's tactical backswing...

Then, there was a knock on the door, and Yang Xiaomi walked in...

......

I saw a group of bigwigs gathered in Shen Mengxi's office, and there was smoke all over the room...

“... Director Ning, Director Xu... Mr. Song, Mr. Shen..."

Shen Mengxi was curious: "Xiaomi, why are you here?"

"You didn't read the text message I sent you?"

“... I didn't pay attention, when I usually talk about business, my phone is set to silent..."

Yang Xiaomi was surprised: "Ah... Are you talking about business?"

"It's not a serious matter, it's just bragging, you came to me, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaomi looked at Shen Mengxi, and then made it clear: "... There's a company in Hong Kong that wants to poach me!"

"What company?"

"Meiya Entertainment..."

Song Hang: "I know that this company, Li Guoxing's company, used to sell DVDs, and now it is making some mid-bottom Hong Kong films, and there is no shortage of third-class films..."

"They said that as long as I signed, they would let me join the Mermaid Empire!"

Shen Mengxi was speechless: "It was a bad movie, the script was written by a real estate developer, he wanted to realize his literary and artistic dreams, and invested in this movie, the so-called Sino-US co-production is all his own... You just stay in the company honestly, I said I want to praise you, why don't you believe it?"

This project is very famous, Shen Mengxi knows it, and many people in the circle know it - Xing Ye's "Mermaid" swept away 3.3 billion box office, "Mermaid Empire" crowdfunded, and then raised 20,000 yuan...

A laughing stock for the whole circle!

"Mermaid Empire" was a project in 07, the initial production cost was 50 million US dollars, and it was filmed intermittently for three years, and then "Avatar" came, and the boss who was quite business-minded immediately decided to make "Mermaid Empire" into a 3D version.

The idea is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Where to rent filming equipment, where to find filming talents? It was pitch black.

Then I threw money at the "Avatar" team...

During the whole creative process, a number of special effects patents have been developed, which is really a batch of cattle, as if crossing the river by feeling the stones and touching a lot of golden sands.

It's just that I don't know if these patents were transformed later, anyway, I heard that the film company was short of funds later, and the salaries of technical personnel could not be paid, and many computers were taken away by employees and kept for themselves, and it was extremely bleak to think about.

The New York Times broke the news that "Mermaid Empire" has problems such as arrears of cast and crew salaries and director changes...

Yang Xiaomi is really short-sighted, it is said that the original time and space joined Meiya because of "Mermaid Empire".
