Chapter 151: Response (5/5 Subscription Requested)
Philippine is preparing to create a trilogy of "Yunnan Worm Valley", "Longling Grotto" and "Kunlun Divine Palace"...
It took four years and three big online movies!
In April this year, during the theatrical film promotion conference, producer Huang Zhonglei and director Fei Xing excitedly announced that "Yunnan Worm Valley" was set for the National Day, and "Longling Grotto" will be released in 19 years!
Then, in June, the Huayi stall was in trouble...
It is conceivable that a large number of funds will definitely have to be withdrawn in the later stage of "Yunnan Worm Valley", otherwise, the loopholes will not be filled...
What is the most important thing about the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series?
Special effects, of course!
If you do a good job of special effects, you have to throw money at it!
If you don't have any money, let's release a circle first...
This is a 'ghost blowing the lamp', a money artifact!
The publicity campaign is not as huge as before, after all, Huayi is now disgusted...
pulled the original author's endorsement from the world's top singers...
The latter said: After watching the trailer, I gave "Yunnan Worm Valley" a score of 8.5;
The director of Philippine is also very "modest", saying that "Yunnan Worm Valley" "I firmly believe that the box office of this movie will not reach 3 billion"!
Director Filipino said that when he went to the New York Film Festival in 2014, he had a discussion with Hollywood filmmakers about why Hollywood movies were so simple and rude, and they were becoming more and more mentally retarded.
To put it simply, it is mentally retarded!
Deeply touched, Fei Xing said that if you want "Yunnan Worm Valley" to be accepted by audiences in 12345 tier cities, you must reduce too many reversals of the fate of the characters, reduce too much foreshadowing of the plot, and make it action-oriented and visual-effective!
But he didn't take into account the fans' love for the original work, "Yunnan Worm Valley" was released in China, they are all Chinese, what cultural barriers exist?
It's like it's complicated, and everyone can't understand it...
……
On the 28th, the premiere of "Yunnan Worm Valley", Philippine Bank and host Tan Fei asked and answered themselves:
Tan Fei is a film critic and planner, and has also invested in some movies, and has quite a status, simply put, he is a well-known person in the film and television industry.
In recent years, many people in the film and television industry have come to the front of the stage - it is easier to make money in front of the stage...
His relationship with Huayi is already good, not to mention taking money to do things and receiving gifts in return.
Tan Fei: "I heard that this time it's a new person mode?"
Fei Xing: ""Looking for the Dragon" I think we found the best combination in China at that time, so in terms of lineup, it is impossible for us to reach that height, so we took a differentiated path and chose a brand-new, relatively young lineup, which is a youth gold team, and wants to reflect a brand-new, more vibrant, simple, more enthusiastic, and more responsible group of tomb robbers..."
"In China, big IP + new people are still a lonely attempt, but in Hollywood, this model has been relatively mature. Although the cost of remuneration is reduced by using newcomers, renting venues, building real scenes, doing special effects and buying insurance all kinds of money, I am not completely sure of the specific final investment cost, and it must be a large number in China... And we're working together in a trilogy..."
"Yunnan Worm Valley" is about 1,700 special effects shots, but among all these special effects shots, more than 80% are A-level difficulty shots, such as digital creatures and digital scenes..."
Tan Fei: "Stop for a moment, you have to consider the current situation, many viewers only recognize celebrities!"
Fei Xing hesitated: "Actually, we also found the most popular one at the beginning..."
Tan Fei interrupted him: "Just say your name!"
Fei Xing spoke carefully: "... We looked for Shen Ming!"
"Shen Ming?"
"Yes, we sent him the script when we were 16 years old, and his agent was very willing to cooperate with us, and I don't know what happened, anyway, he refused!"
"Isn't it too little money?"
“… That's what you said!"
It seems to be a joke, but in the afternoon of the same day, a bunch of marketing accounts collectively touched the porcelain, 'Shen Ming refused to accept the ticket king project because of the salary, because of a small loss?', 'Don't blow Shen Ming's professional ethics anymore, because of the salary refusal of "Yunnan Worm Valley", "Longling Grotto", "Is it stupid or stupid?, refuse the biggest IP in the Chinese film industry!'"
Just a little Ming Huanghuang told netizens, 'Shen Ming is a bad pen, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is about to be released, everyone must support it!'
Effect... Poor.
Weibo's hot search is only ranked eighth...
There are really not many people discussing...
The times have changed too fast, the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series has been silent for a long time, and the shooting is rotten, and everyone doesn't buy it!
The number of points of "Yellow Skin Grave" is only 2.8 billion, and the number of views of "The Strange Story of Muye" is less than 2 billion...
"Shen Ming didn't take it, which means that he is not optimistic about this project, why did he lose a big deal because of a small one?"
"The global box office of "Jumanji" starring others has exceeded 600 million US dollars, why do you have to take "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"
"Don't talk yet, wait for the movie to be released tomorrow!"
……
On the evening of the 28th, Shen Ming returned to China.
When I arrived at the airport, I was told that I had been touched.
It's kind of disgusting...
"Yunnan Worm Valley", he just couldn't read the script, and then let Yang Xin open a sky-high price - 30 million for a single episode...
This is the unspoken rule of the circle.
If you don't like the script, but it's not good to refuse it directly, make a salary that is far from worthy of your value.
Investors are not stupid, and if you look at your price, you will know that you have not seen this drama.
Of course, if you really meet a fool investor, you open 30 million, and he is willing to give it!
Then go and act, why don't you make money if you have money?
When he was 16 years old, Shen Ming was paid externally, and the movie was 3 million per episode, since he offered 30 million, what did he mean, Huayi must know it!
Now I'm taking out this old account and stirring it up...
Obviously, there is no trick...
Touching porcelain is the easiest way to do it!
Take out your phone:
"The unspoken rules in the circle, I didn't like your play, I will open a sky-high price, the script of "Yunnan Worm Valley" is very ordinary, so I directly shouted a price that is impossible for an investor to give, what's wrong?
After thinking about it, I revised it: "I have a routine for taking over the play, if I don't like your script, I will offer a sky-high price, which is equivalent to a tactful rejection of you... As far as I know, most of the actors in the circle do this, I don't understand how this provokes people?"
posted directly on Weibo, and then a bunch of fan comments:
“… I'm curious, how much do you offer?"
"It's clear, touch the porcelain, there's no money for publicity!"
There are also fans of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, asking: "Is the script of "Yunnan Worm Valley" very bad?"
Shen Ming replied directly: What do you say, but if there is a trace of merit, I will not refuse to accept it, I don't know how many fans of the original work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has?
A few minutes later, the director of the Philippine Bank personally responded to Shen Ming: "Looking forward to Mr. Shen Ming's encouragement and criticism..."
Shen Ming ignored him...
Then Sun Honglei called him!
