Chapter 47: Charity Night (4/8)
In the room, Peng Peng was lying on the sofa, Shen Ming sat next to him, holding the remote control, kept changing the channel, and then found "Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", the corners of his mouth grinned, and he looked at it seriously.
About twenty minutes later, Peng Peng suddenly sat up and patted Shen Ming, who was immersed in the appearance of 'the first beauty in the world': "This script... It seems that there is no absolute protagonist?"
"That's right, this is a group play, you can know "Five Boys Splashing in the Water" by looking at the name of the script!"
Shen Ming didn't reply, he watched episode 43, and there will be a lip biting scene later...
Pemba then asked, "How did you become interested in synchronized swimming?"
“… I just feel very imposing!"
"Five Teenagers Splashing in the Water" tells the story of five high school students who had to perform synchronized swimming at the sports meeting because of a series of accidents, and then the teenagers worked hard and finally succeeded!
This script is very funny to write, and the five teenagers have distinct personalities.
But here's the problem, if you are not an experienced director, it is simply impossible to master this rhythm!
“… When are we going to shoot?"
Peng Peng is already full of energy!
"Huh?"
Shen Ming was finally reluctant to look away.
"This script is so well written, don't you want to act?"
“… Wait a little longer, besides, which director do you think is suitable for this kind of sports theme..."Speaking of this, Shen Ming's phone rang, and it was Chen Xu who dialed.
He reported on the North American box office situation of "Burst Drummer"...
Not particularly good, $9.8 million in the opening weekend, but it's a reasonable result for a low-budget drama film aiming for an awards season!
From luxury to frugality, "The Fault in the Stars" was $52 million in the first weekend, but "Burst Drummer" was less than $10 million...
It's really painful to step on a horse!
Doesn't it mean that the appreciation level of the old American audience is very high, why is the box office of such a good movie "Bursting Drummer" so low in the first weekend?
Chen Xu over there continued: "It's okay, the focus feels that the final box office of "Burst Drummer" is not a problem of $40 million..."
The works of the awards season are very different from ordinary commercial films!
The awards season in North America accommodates hundreds of awards, including film critics' awards, broadcast awards, media awards, and union awards from each state.
Generally, movies that win awards are not bad at the box office!
The most obvious is last year's "Focus", which opened only 25 theaters in the first weekend, and the box office was less than $100,000, and then won countless awards, and finally the North American box office reached $45 million!
Chen Xu continued: "By the way, the results of the first weekend of "Dallas Buyers Club" are also out!"
"How much?"
"It's an on-demand channel, so the weekend box office didn't reach $900,000..."
Shen Ming raised his voice: "How much?"
"But the single theater is as high as 30,000 US dollars, and the theater will definitely be expanded later!"
"Alright, don't talk about it..."
"Burst Drummer", Shen Ming invested $2 million, and "Dallas Buyers Club" is also $2 million...
Although he knows that the works in the awards season depend on word-of-mouth and award nominations, Shen Ming will still be unhappy...
Hanging up the phone, Peng Peng over there snapped his fingers: "I think of a director!"
"Who?"
"Director Lin Chaoxian, he seems to be particularly interested in sports themes!"
“… I'll talk about it when I see him. Shen Ming obviously didn't want to talk about it, so he casually found an excuse: "You hurry up and put on makeup, we're going to go to the charity dinner later!"
Peng Peng reluctantly put down the script, pushed open the door and was about to go out, when he suddenly remembered something: "How much money are you going to donate?"
"It depends, what was the highest last year?"
"It seems to be Guo Degang, who donated 2.1 million!"
“… That's 1 million!"
"Okay, then I'll be less, 500,000!"
agreed, Peng Peng left...
……
It should be last year, after the charity night, a bunch of gaudy and beautiful press releases appeared on the hot search...
Su Mang was probably tired of it, compared the hot search and the amount of donations, the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and he was silent in the middle of the night, and directly announced the list of donations!
I can't do PR!
Straight slap in the face!
Many celebrities say all day long that they are enthusiastic about public welfare and do charity in a low-key manner, but they didn't pay a dime, they really just went to rub the heat, and the press release was happier than anyone else:
"Guo Mouting, who has long, straight and long legs, how beautiful is it to attend the Bazaar Charity Night?"
"The lake blue dress is elegant and chic..."
"Fruity back, not everyone dares to wear it..."
It's not that you are forced to donate, but if you know that this is a charity-themed event, or insist on being a transaction venue and clothing display table to brush your face and brush traffic, don't blame others for disagreeing with you.
Is moral kidnapping? Is that really the money?
In private, 1 million and hundreds of thousands of dollars are used for charity, will taking out 700,000 at this time smear you or what?
I don't pay a dime, and I still want to rub the heat? Pose that I am the most beautiful man (woman) in the field, who is disgusting?
……
Although he is not as rich as Shen Ming, Peng Peng can also be called a young man with more money.
Last year's income was almost 6 million, and so far this year, more than 9 million have been recorded...
After the release of "Great Wishes", his endorsement price rose a bit.
Therefore, the donation of 500,000 yuan is not much pressure for him!
Milk Xiao also decided to donate 750,000 yuan, taking a median value...
These children are very good, charity night, of course, donate money...
Rubbing the heat?
They won't do that!
Yang Xin is waiting at the door of the dressing room!
After getting into the car, she spoke: "First of all, Bazaar's charity donation starts at 700,000!"
“… Huh?
Peng Peng was taken aback.
"What do you think?"
The three children quickly renegotiated the amount of donations, and finally decided on Shen Ming 1.4 million, Cheng Xiao 700,000, and Peng Peng also 700,000...
Seeing that the three of them finished discussing, Yang Xin continued: "Also, a few of you sit at a table tonight, don't move around casually!"
“… Why?"
"Zhou Jie's matter has been very fierce recently!"
“… Oh, got it!"
Er Kang and Ziwei turned over old accounts, the three of them knew about it in the crew!
Oriental Film and Television City is not an isolated place, and a few gossip staff members secretly came to ask Shen Ming which side he was standing on?
Which side can he stand on?
Definitely standing next to...
Does this thing have anything to do with him?
However, after this battle, crape myrtle was half cool, and she was picked up again...
I heard that Ziwei will attend the charity night with her husband Mr. Huo tonight...
Yang Xin meant to stay away from them!
Twenty minutes later, you will arrive at the Park Hyatt, which is where tonight's charity dinner will be held.
Glancing through the car window, Shen Ming immediately frowned: "There is a red carpet again?
Yang Xin shook his head: "... There's no need, you're the first person of the new generation now, and you're the focus whenever you appear!"
After hearing this, Shen Ming and Peng Peng pushed the car door, and then led Nan Xiao and Yang Xin respectively, and the four of them walked on the red carpet...
Immediately, the reporters on the sidelines shouted directly, regardless of Wu Yifan, who was still in a concave shape.
"Shen Ming, look here!
"Laugh, laugh!"
