Chapter 148: The Female Director's Box Office Champion Gives Way (1/6)
"Well, it's a very interesting story, and it's very easy for everyone to shoot, I hope you will enjoy it!"
Su Lun was a little nervous and didn't speak particularly well.
"Okay, girl, it's your turn!"
Tong Yali wore a black deep V dress, and Shen Ming wondered if her stylist had a grudge against her...
But the demeanor is still very elegant, and she used to dance, and the swan neck is quite good-looking, but that's all, because the most important thing about deep V, you have to have a bear!
ββ¦ It's a very good movie, I'm very satisfied with this performance, and I hope you can support it a lot!"
Bow sincerely...
I won't worry about running out, Milk Xiao must be very envious!
"This is a love light comedy, Director Su Lun is not the kind of author-type director, she wants to make a commercial romance film..."
Xu Zheng told a lot of behind-the-scenes stories: "Actually, Su Lun wanted to be a director for 12 years, when "Hong Kong" had not yet been released, and a company bought the copyright of "Full House of Romance" and wanted to make it into a movie, and then found me to be the producer. I brought Suren with me, and I wanted her to do that project. β
"But at the beginning, the story and script always felt that it was a little less interesting, I tried all kinds of efforts, and talked to a lot of screenwriters, hoping that everyone could make this story more idealistic, but in the end, it was completely overturned, and I gave up the story of "Full House of Romance", so I had to stop!"
"Later, I found Su Lun, and I asked her, what movie do you personally want to make the most, and you write a script yourself. β
"She's bold enough to add a fantasy element!"
"After the script was completed, we began to look for actors, then our requirements for male actors must be to understand movies, have acting skills, be handsome, attractive, and don't care too much about the salary, we looked for Shen Ming, and at first he refused..."
Shen Ming hurriedly interjected: "I just finished promoting "Wolf Warrior 2" at that time, and I already have two or three projects at hand, so I really don't want to take on new dramas!"
"And then, how did you convince him?"
Xu Zheng: "I don't need to be convinced, I made an appointment with Huang Bo, Huang Bo asked him, he read the script once, and then asked me who the heroine was going to find, I said who and who, he thought about it for less than five seconds, and then agreed!
Liu Yiwei stopped him and said, "Wait a minute... Who's who?"
ββ¦ It's the actress Shen Ming said who doesn't accept non-billion-level movies!"
"Do you dare to say her name?"
ββ¦ Forget it, I'll tell you later!"
Liu Yiwei continued: "So, Tong Yali is an alternative?"
"No, she was recommended by Shen Ming, I called him and asked him who was suitable, he said a bunch of actresses' names, but the first one to say was Tong Yali..."
Liu Yiwei looked at Shen Ming: "Tsk, a bunch of actresses, are you very greedy?"
"Men always have to have dreams, and I finally came across a book with a kiss scene... And my girlfriend also agreed to let me take it, so..."
Cheng Xiao was a little confused, she sat quietly in the audience, she didn't expect to be Cue...
"When you take over the play, you still have to consider your girlfriend's opinion?"
"Of course, her opinion is very important, if she takes the play, I will also read the script in advance, and if there is an intimate scene, I won't let her take it!"
Liu Yiwei was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food and quickly changed the topic: "Then what do you think of this movie?"
"I think that after the release of "Living Together in Time and Space", the box office champion of Chinese films with love themes will give way, at least, the box office champion of female directors will definitely give way!"
ββ¦ So confident?"
"Of course, we didn't spend too much money on marketing for this "Living Together in Time and Space", nor did we ask big V to help us write praise, and even the theme song was sung by ourselves, but I am very confident in the audience, they can tell what kind of movie is worth buying tickets!"
Many media reporters sitting in the audience were excited, this was aimed at "Later Us"!
In the circle, not only in the circle, most of the viewers who have watched "Later Us" know that the movie is a mediocre work at all, not to mention the fact that the plot is not correct or the like, even if it is scored from the most basic audio-visual language of the movie, it is not up to par!
But no one in the circle criticized "Later Us", just as few people criticized Zhao Wei's "To Youth"...
In fact, "Later Us" imitates "To Youth" from the form and content to the schedule marketing...
The word of mouth is not as good as "To Youth"...
Liu Yiwei finally asked: "Then how much do you think the box office of this movie can be?"
"1.378 billion!"
It's a real hammer, it's aimed at "Later Us"...
β¦β¦
Starting from "Blooming Heart", "Thai Embarrassment", and "Hong Kong Embarrassment", it marks that a faction in China is being formed, and this faction is centered on Xu Zheng and Ning Hao.
The common characteristics of this faction are:
1. All of them are commercial films, and they are commercial films with attitude and personal temperament;
2. Be friendly to the audience, make the film as good as possible, reduce the difficulty of watching the movie, and do not make the audience tired for the director's personal expression;
3. Mainly new directors, young directors, and directors from the academy, most of whom can write and direct at the same time;
4. Xu Zheng and Ning Hao provided one-stop service from material selection to producer to starring actor, bringing out this group of fledgling new directors.
Therefore, "Living Together in Time and Space", there are a lot of people who come to Shen Ming, and there are also a lot who come to Xu Zheng - when the movie is being promoted, Xu Zheng is put in the center of the poster.
Because Shen Ming has never acted in a pure comedy movie before, everyone doesn't know how he performed.
However, with Xu Zheng's finale, audiences who like the comedy genre will be very relieved.
Although this braised egg may not be so likable, it will definitely not be foolish!
Actually, at the beginning, Director Su Lun's favorite actor was Liu Haoran, but he was too expensive - Liu Haoran's salary in "Tang Detective 2" was 24 million, this is Wanda's financial report, not written by me Blind Jiba!
Xu Zheng asked if he could invite Shen Ming, Su Lun nodded hurriedly, I damn it, with Shen Ming, who cares about Liu Haoran?
Let's talk about the production expenses: 30 million production + 20 million publicity expenses.
This is a low-cost production in a domestic movie!
Shen Ming only got a salary of 2 million, although he said that he would make a profit of 15 percent, but what if he lost it?
Minghui Company followed up with an investment of 8 million...
So Su Lun is especially grateful to Shen Ming.
In this world, other support is virtual, only real money is taken out, not afraid of being lost by you, this is true support and absolute optimism.
β¦β¦
We have to admit that when most audiences walk into the theater, the purpose in their hearts is actually very simple, that is, to have fun.
Don't talk about meaning, get upset, let alone talk about art, you can't understand it.
The MarchΓ© du Film and the art of cinema are two different things.
By the way, mention a movie, you may not have heard of it, it was also released on May 1st, called "God of War", produced by international director Jean-Jacques Arnaud ("Soldiers in the City", "Lover", "Wolf Totem") and starred in a star-studded "3D production" with an investment of hundreds of millions!
The starring roles are Chen Weiting, Lin Yun, and the supporting roles have Hu Jun, Ni Dahong, Li Guangjie, Tu Men, and the Swiss performing artist...
The word-of-mouth is sparse, with a very low score of 3.6 points on Douban and 6.3 points on Maoyan, and finally achieved a box office of 38 million, but it was released dismal in two weeks...
Back to the screening room.
At this time, the lights on the ceiling go out and the black screen slowly lights up.
The first thing that appeared was the Dragon Mark, that is, the film release license, and then the four producers of Zhenle Dao Culture, Minghui Culture, Youth Bright and Qiancheng Film and Television...
Guangxian Media and Qiancheng Film and Television decided to join after the film was completed...
Then they are a very small percentage.
There are more co-producers, basically all of them are companies related to Xu Zheng and Shen Ming, and the score is Huanxi Entertainment, Fujisun Films, Bona Films, Wanda Pictures...
are optimistic about the market performance of this film.
In fact, the co-producers and distributors can't make much money, but if you add it, the financial report will look good!
