Chapter 67: Remuneration (8/10)

The big screen.

After interviewing some family and friends, Shen Ming suddenly appeared in the camera, he sat at his desk, holding the wedding photos of his wife's wedding, and smiled happily: "Everyone says that his wife is an angel, but she is the real angel." ”

"I don't believe he would do that kind of thing, he's the kind of best man, I still miss him every day..."

In the screening room, the audience was very worried when they saw this subtitle...

He called you, but unfortunately he was intercepted by MNU!

At the end of the shot, the slum on the beach, shows some follow-up to the story: "After completing the alien relocation reset, District 9 has been demolished. The current 10th arrondissement continues to grow in population..."

In the midst of the desolate and lonely music, I saw a green shrimp man sitting in a ruined garbage heap, and in the distance was a dilapidated tin house, he was fiddling with a gadget in his hand, and looked in the direction of the camera.

He carefully looked at the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, and suddenly rubbed his hands, and the bamboo dragonfly suddenly flew to the sky, he raised his head and looked, the camera gradually rose, and the blue sky was barren, and the bamboo dragonfly flew higher and higher...

Director: Neil Blomkamp;

Producers: Peter Jackson, Shen Ming;

Starring: Shen Ming;

Screenwriters: Neil Blomkamp, Shen Ming...

……

"Do you think the last green-skinned shrimp man is Shen Ming who has completely mutated?"

“… I guess so. ”

"And does he still retain the human mind?"

"I don't know..."

At the end of the scene, a couple was still chatting while walking, and the man suddenly said: "Eh, do you say that the director's 'three years' means that there is "District 10"?"

"I don't know, let's see how Shen Ming answers!"

That's right, in order to cooperate with the release of "District 9", Weibo and Shen Ming conducted an online Q&A.

The number one question is, 'Is there any District 10?'

"It's up to Neil, but I guess it's difficult, "District 9" is too popular, he's a little inflated now, I heard that the next step is to make a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million dollars!"

"Will you still cooperate?"

“… Read the script, the script is not good, I shouldn't take it, if I wanted to act in a blockbuster, I would have acted a long time ago!"

It's really not bragging, "King Kong Skull Island" sent him an invitation, Dan Gilroy trusts Shen Ming very much, and the legend offered $8 million, but he refused...

I always feel like it's not time to play a supporting role in special effects!

Neil Blomkamp has recently made a name for himself and several companies are ready to invite him to make a movie!

Warner Bros. has the greatest sincerity and directly allocated $80 million for him to choose the subject for filming!

“… There are many netizens who praise "District 9" for being the best of the year, what do you think?"

"I'm glad to have such an evaluation, but the filming of this drama is still a little rough, after all, the production cost is not very high, everyone can like it, I'm very happy..."

The little couple looked at Shen Ming's answer while walking, and behind him, the middle-aged fat house Xu Erha was a little confused...

This "District 9" is too much for his taste!

It alludes to apartheid and digs deep into human nature...

How does this Nima hack Shen Ming?

……

Yakushima, the filming location of "A Good Show".

"Click!"

Shen Ming finished today's shooting, and then Huang Bo walked over: "Congratulations, it's another movie with a great reputation and a good box office!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Ming smiled.

In the past few days, a bunch of actors in the crew will say this kind of thing to him.

The attitude is very friendly!

To be honest, he had thought that the reputation of "District 9" would not be bad, but he didn't dare to think about it at the box office...

But any movie with depth will not be too high at the box office!

The result was beyond his expectations, the North American box office was released, with $62.32 million in the first weekend, successfully topping the North American box office charts in the first weekend!

overturned "Thor 3", "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Home Alone 2"...

It may really be as some critics have said: Hollywood needs a novel sci-fi film, not a repeat attempt to save the planet!

However, the mainland box office is a little incomprehensible, with 238 million in the first weekend...

According to the box office forecast of 3.5 times that of normal commercial films, the final box office will be about 800 million^

From the outside world's point of view, it's not scientific, and it's not even as good as the North American box office!

What about Shen Ming's box office appeal?

Ten minutes later, Yang Xin called and asked directly: "... Honestly, did you disappoint at the box office in the first weekend?"

"Disappointment? How is it possible? "District 9" is a B-grade film with a production cost of 40 million US dollars, and in the mainland alone, 238 million yuan in the first weekend, what else do you want?"

Shen Ming looked at it quite openly...

How can there be so many "Wolf Warrior 2"...

"It's good to have that thought, right, District 9 predicts that it could be over $200 million at the box office, and you know what that means?"

“… Does that mean I'll get a share of more than $30 million at the box office?"

After a little calculation, the total cost of "District 9" is 40 million US dollars, and Shen Ming has invested 12 million US dollars, and his salary has been converted into 8% of the profit sharing, if the North American box office breaks 200 million, he can get close to 30 million share of the profit!

And that's just the North American box office gains...

It's making money again, Meizizi!

“… No. Yang Xin's voice on the other end of the phone was amplified: "It means that you have surpassed Cheng Long and become the highest-grossing Chinese actor in North America!"

"Really?"

The best thing about Brother Cheng Long is that there are two series in North America, and they are both protagonists, the "Shanghai Noon" series and the "Rush Hour" series...

"No, it didn't surpass Chenlong, his "Rush Hour 2" North American box office is $227 million, you still have to work hard!"

"Rush Hour 2" grossed $227 million in North America, the highest North American box office for a movie starring Chinese!

This movie pushed Chenlong's international status to the peak, and his popularity increased greatly, becoming a Hollywood first-line star and enjoying superstar treatment - after "Around the World in 80 Days", Disney directly offered a superstar salary of 20 million US dollars!

“… What the hell are you trying to say?"

Shen Ming had reason to suspect that Yang Xin had specifically called over to ask him to mention...

"No, we got an offer for a movie that was paid $16 million, and if we talk about it, we should be able to talk about $20 million, you know what that means? It means you're a superstar!"

Shen Ming interrupted Yang Xin, who couldn't stop excitedly: "... What movie?"

"'Predatory City,' Peter Jackson as a producer!"

"Peter Jackson, isn't he a director?"

“… This time he is the producer, don't you know him? Ask for the details!"
