After Shen Mengxi came to Beijing, he was busy with the affairs of Mingxi Studio...

Making a TV series doesn't mean buying the copyright and investing in it, you have to find the right director.

Director, Huang Lei recommended Teng Huatao, Mingxi has no opinion...

Although Teng Huatao is not good at making science fiction films, he is very good at this kind of short life drama of parents!

In addition to the director, you have to find a good coordinator!

The co-ordination of the TV series is more important than the director, and the co-ordination should set a general shooting plan according to the preparation of the crew and the amount of scripts, including the filming arrangements for interior and exterior scenes.

A good coordinator can make a shoot twice as effective with half the effort...

The preparations are done, the filming has officially started, the progress is very fast, on average, a 30-episode TV series, each episode has a script of about 15 pages, a total of about 450 pages, two groups of shooting, can shoot about ten pages a day, basically, two months to end the shooting...

For Shen Mengxi, the most important thing is to get to know people through the filming of "Double-sided Tape", so he is the coordinator of this drama...

The most important thing with the team is to build a good relationship with the producer and the TV station's film buying department...

The ultimate goal of making a TV series is to sell it!

"Double-sided tape" can be regarded as the appreciation of Mr. Huang Lei, the cooperation between the two sides, Huang Lei's network is very wide, he has a good relationship with the directors of Dragon TV and Beijing Satellite TV, basically the TV series he participated in can be sold to first-line satellite TV!

However, whether the next drama can work together is a question mark...

Even if we can work together, we have to discuss who is dominant.

In short, for half a month, Shen Mengxi was busy like a grandson...

I don't have time to pay attention to my two books.

He has full confidence in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", after all, the original version has sold more than 10 million copies, and is known as the most widely circulated Chinese novel after Jin Yong...

What's more, this time there is also "Rose Red Lotus" to sell together.

Now half a month later, 80,000 copies of "Rose Flower Red Lotus" have been sold out, and 100,000 copies have been reprinted for the second time, and the 100,000 copies of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" have also sold 80,000 copies, and they are ready to be reprinted three times soon...

A bunch of people on the Internet are discussing 'ghost blowing the lamp', all saying that Shen Mengxi is a professional inverted fighter, and there are even people on the Internet Shen Mengxi, not to pick up the skin, nor to question the ghostwriter or anything, the reason is very simple, I want to follow him to rob the tomb, or let Shen Mengxi help identify the treasure...

It is said that someone bought donkey meat and deliberately told the boss to leave the donkey's hooves...

Tsk, netizens are really whimsical!

If you really want to run into a zombie, you will get rich, catch him, lock him up, collect tickets to watch, and sell a ticket for a hundred yuan...

I have a little zombie...

Ahem, the main thing is that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is very commercial!

A remnant book of "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" took the lead, and the fantastical tomb robbery story of Hu Bayi, the "Captain of the Golden School", unfolded.

The opening work, "Exquisite Ancient City", Kunlun Glacier, Sino-Mongolian border, XJ's Black Desert...

Hu Bayi and his brothers held the gossip copper compass, recited "Looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the tangled mountain", broke through the nine-story demon tower, and escaped from the abandoned fortress of the Japanese army!

Such fantasy stories are especially popular in this year!

Plus newspaper serialization...

Tut, if Shen Mengxi's character was a small transparent screenwriter, the original author ignored by Li Shaohong, and a poor person who was kicked out of the crew by Yingda, then now, his character is a best-selling novelist!

Shen Mengxi has one request for 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp', the film and television adaptation rights are resolutely not sold to the public, and the rest doesn't matter.

In just half a month, Shen Mengxi and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" have become hot words...

If it was a hot search this year, he would have already topped the hot search list!

There are many conveniences to become famous, for example, when he finds Ning Hao, the latter immediately makes time to meet him...

......

"Crazy Stone" is indeed in the late stage, and it is indeed out of money...

Andy Lau originally said five million, but later only gave three million...

With this investment alone, Andy Lau is enough to be written into film history, really!

Once a person enters the comfort zone, because of the influence of the surrounding environment, it is easy to breed inertia, and inertia has a terrible ability to spread, and what awaits him can only be that his popularity is wasted.

05 years, how sluggish is the film industry?

Not to mention anything else, the highest box office in the mainland is "Wuji", 1.6 RMB...

And then there's "Mythology", 91 million...

It is under this premise that Andy Lau spent tens of millions of dollars to become an 'Asian Rising Star Guide', the first one praised Ning Hao, and the second one won Wu Ershan...

Of course, Wu Ershan's "Sword and Laughter" is not as famous as "Crazy Stone"...

The problem is, even if there are three million, it is still a bit stretched to do "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao has put 500,000 yuan into it, and all the money he has earned in the past few years has been put into it...

It just so happened that Shen Mengxi came with funds.

Shen Mengxi is ready to invest half, that is, 1.5 million, Ning Hao said that he spent nearly 3.8 million, so he will invest 1.9 million...

It is necessary to convince the largest investor first, that is, Andy Lau's Yingyi Entertainment.

After all, the movie has been made, don't you add it at this time, don't you give some sincerity?

What is sincerity?

A premium investment, of course!

Let's say it's one or two times higher than the cost price...

But the question is, if Shen Mengxi intervenes in this project, will Andy Lau care about "Stone" as much as the original time and space?

In the original time and space, "Stone" was a big hit, in addition to the movie itself, Andy Lau's propaganda role is also inseparable - he was present for the publicity of several big cities...

Many people who come to watch the movie are because of Andy Lau's star effect.

......

Shen Mengxi watched "Crazy Stone" after the editing was completed, and after watching it, he applauded, and then asked: "Do you have a reference from "Two Big Smoking Guns"?"

"yes, I kind of like the way Guy Ritchie cuts it..."

"Multi-line storytelling can turn an otherwise bland story into a fancy, however, the actors you are looking for are not familiar to the audience, which will cause a sense of alienation, and it will be difficult for the average audience to enter the plot..."

"I don't have the money to hire a big actor, Xu Zheng still joins for free with zero pay!"

Shen Mengxi picked again: "The picture is a little too rough..."

Ning Hao was a little embarrassed: "The cost is only 3 million, and I can only shoot with high-definition digital, and then magnetic transfer in the later stage, so... The picture is seriously lacking in color!"

“... Find our Mingxi Studio before filming next time, it's a pity that such a good book is made so rough..."

Yu Weiguo, the person in charge of Yingyi Entertainment and the producer of "Stone", who was sitting on the side, listened to Shen Mengxi's words and asked, "Does Boss Shen think this movie can make money?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the publicity and distribution..."

"China Film is willing to take over the distribution..."

"What about the propaganda plan?"

Publicity plan?

Yu Weiguo is a Hong Kong producer, and has participated in many of Andy Lau's film planning, in Hong Kong, publicity is to put up posters, telling the audience that Andy's new drama is released, everyone come and see it!

What are the specific plans...

Yu Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Does Boss Shen have a specific publicity plan?"

"I can't say this unless you're willing to hand over the Crazy Stone publicity to us!"

"Of course you can..."

Brother Shen Mengxi was poor: "Accounting for half of the total cost..."

Yu Weiguo immediately shook his head: "No, that's too much..."

Shen Mengxi patiently explained: "Not much, you see, I have to lay posters, advertise, contact theaters, TV stations, and the Internet to do interviews and roadshows, and I have to invite a group of film critics and magazines to tout our movies.

“... So how much can you increase the box office if you advertise it like this?"

"Ten million shouldn't be a problem!"

Yu Weiguo was a little entangled: "I'll ask the boss..."

Shen Mengxi paused...

Damn, Hong Kong people are so easy to deceive?

There is no evidence, you just believe Mr. Shen like this, and you have to ask the boss?

I don't want to think about his current prestige value - martial arts rookie!

There is a character with a head and a face!
