"Shaogong, what are you looking at?"

After Ouyang Ke and Chen Yingzi left Menghang to travel to the magnesium country, Meng Xiangting's activity space was much larger, and when Shaogong asked her to notify Ouyang Fenqi, Hu Mingkai and Tan Youye, the ministers of the production department, television department and film department, to go to the office for a meeting, and by the way, let her go to the audit. So when she came to Shaogong's office after notifying the people, she found that this guy was staring at the computer, and couldn't help but walk over and smile curiously and slightly maliciously: "It won't be that Sissi went to the magnesium country, you are lonely and secretly on that kind of website!" But she leaned over to take a look and found that the webpage Shao Gong was looking at was a detailed explanation of zombies, and couldn't help asking: "Look at this kind of thing, do you want to make zombie movies?" But you also know the domestic policy, which type is not allowed to be broadcast unless the ending is a neurotic dream. ”

Nodding, Shao Gong smiled: "So I plan to co-produce with Hong Kong, as long as the names of Hong Kong and Taiwan are hung, some domestic policies should also be relaxed." For example, some ghost movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the early years, aren't the bans also lifted in domestic theaters now?" Ximen Yan is his assistant, so Shao Gong knows that the zombies in this world are roughly divided into four middle schools by talking to her.

A kind of biological corpse that feeds on the flesh and blood of the living, this kind is a zombie; one is the voodoo that brings the dead back to life through magic control, this kind of zombie does not suck blood or eat meat, is afraid of the sun, and when it hears the rooster's crowing, it will think that the day is coming and flee, and the spell can be controlled; one is a zombie that mutates into a zombie that eats something by mistake and causes it to die, in addition to absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to nourish the body, it can also suck human blood like Western vampires to replenish itself and soften the body, so that the whole body will not be stiff like other zombies, like Ximen Yan's family belongs to this; and there is also a zombie created by refining corpses by secret methods, which is similar to raising ghosts, obey the master's orders to take people's lives. For example, legend has it that Taoism has the method of refining the form of Taiyin, the corpse is buried for hundreds of years, and it will be resurrected at the end of the period, and it carries rare corpse poison, and it will become a zombie if it is caught, sucked by blood and bitten, this is a common zombie borrowed from legends in the movie, and the villain of Lin Zhengying's zombie movie in the nineties.

Like the general is the four species, he used to be trained as a zombie for people to drive, and the master was sealed in the tomb after his death, but his legend has been passed down in Shonan, and the old people have heard it from their ancestors, but now they have entered the modern society, and the younger generation knows very little.

After Shao Gong found out that he was captured, he strengthened him with blood-colored aura and magnetic field, so he has now become a super mutant zombie who can not only suck flesh and blood, but also spread corpse poison, even if a zombie like Ximen Yan faces this terrifying monster, I am afraid that he can only escape.

"Zombie movies, the theme that Hong Kong has long made bad, will there still be a market?"

Meng Xiangting patted him on the shoulder, snuggled up to his shoulder and looked at the web page: "I think you should change the theme! But don't lift a stone and hit yourself in the foot." ”

"Maybe not before, but now ......"

Hearing this, Shao Gong clicked on another video and said: "This video was taken by a second-generation official in the capital, it is said that he and several partners took his girlfriend to travel to southern Hunan, and was attacked by zombies while hunting in the mountains." The rest of the people except him died, along with a Orion Guide and a Hound dog, and he took a ten-second video to escape desperately, and it is said that the zombies have rushed to the village and town, and they are feasting on it. ”

Looking at the nearly 10 million clicks on it, it seems that the click-through rate is still soaring, Meng Xiangting said: "So you want to take advantage of this trend to set off zombie culture again and make a co-production with Hong Kong?"

"Yes, the box office and word-of-mouth of the movies "Yin Yang Road" and "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" filmed with small investment are quite popular, and the Asian box office of "Chasing the Dragon" released in the summer has reached one billion Hong Kong dollars, and the word-of-mouth is even better, which can be described as a milestone foundation film co-produced by our Dream Voyage and Hong Kong. But after chasing the dragon, the Hong Kong side has been urging several times to ask for a new script, so I have to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"The authenticity of such videos is yet to be investigated. ”

Meng Xiangting said with a smile: "What are zombies? How do they come about? Where are the advantages and disadvantages of confrontation with modern society? What desires do they have? Why are they so hostile to human beings, as long as they appear, they will cause panic in the crowd, have you considered these? I think those people just wanted to make a gimmick to come up with such a thing. There's nothing on-the-ground that lacks authenticity, and you're risking your reputation to make a zombie movie based on a video like this. What's more, this kind of video that can cause panic will definitely be managed by the relevant departments, and the country will not make a gesture This kind of bull ghost snake god is hyped up, and I think your movie will be banned in China. ”

"Who said that I haven't checked the real zombie incidents, such as the Shonan Zombie Village, the Haitian Zombie Incident, the 2005 Sichuan Nanchong Zombie Incident, the Russian Chita Zombie Incident, etc., I have seen relevant reports. ”

Shao Gong said with a disapprehensive face: "Even if my zombie movie can't be broadcast in China, the box office in other regions is also very impressive, because the zombie movie I want to make, the total investment in filming and publicity will not exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars." What's more, domestic theaters can't broadcast it, and I don't say that video websites can't broadcast it!

"You're always adventurous, and every decision you make is a big gamble, and I think you'll bet yourself on it sooner or later. ”

"But I win every bet!"

"Shaogong, the shopping mall doesn't win every gamble, have you ever thought about the consequences of losing the bet one day? Those second-generation officials have a relationship with their own death, in the case of the country's strict prohibition of feudal superstition, cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, you dare to make this type of movie on the cusp of this kind of storm, although it is a co-production with Hong Kong, there is a lot of pressure on you, but your actions will definitely make the relevant domestic departments very difficult. Shaogong, our company's public relations and people go to drink to build a relationship, you can't let those related households be embarrassed!"

"Don't worry, I'm measured!"

Shao Gong waved his hand: "In short, I can afford any price." ”

"Since you are so stubborn, then I won't persuade you much, anyway, you haven't heard every time I persuade you. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Xiangting suddenly said: "By the way, I'm very interested in the box office guarantee you talked about last time, what is the box office guarantee, is it an investment business? It seems that we are going to add another department to Menghang, right?"

"That's what I predict will emerge in the next three or four years, and the box office guarantee is actually a kind of film distribution company, which is different from the publicity distribution in that the box office guarantee is a box office promise from the distributor to the producer - for the promising film, the distributor makes an early market estimate and sets a price that is acceptable to both parties. Even if the actual box office does not reach this guaranteed box office figure, the distributor still has to share the account to the producer according to this number, but if the guaranteed figure is exceeded, the proportion of the account sharing will be more beneficial to the distributor. However, such a cooperation must have wins and losses, to put it bluntly, as long as the producer signs an agreement with the box office guarantee company, the box office problem will be transferred to the guaranteed distributor before the film is released, and they can wait for the result with peace of mind, anyway, as long as there is an agreement with the guarantee company, although they can't talk about making a lot of money, at least they won't lose money. Although the guaranteed distributor bears the crisis of box office losses, it also has the opportunity to enjoy additional box office revenue. ”

Shao Gong sighed, leaned back in the chair and looked up at her and said: "After all, guaranteed distribution also has risks, for the distributor, guaranteed distribution is like a gamble, because the movie is a high-risk product, and guaranteeing the box office of a movie is equivalent to guaranteeing the gambler, and the risk borne by the guarantor will be doubled." When encountering a movie that is not recognized by the market, the guaranteed distributor will lose a lot. Sister Meng said that I like to take risks and gamble, and I shouldn't take risks every time, so I listen to you very much and won't touch the guarantee, because we Menghang are confident in our own works, enough to bear any consequences, and we don't need outsiders to worry about it, so we Menghang will not add such a department. ”

"There's a real high risk. ”

Meng Xiangting nodded very seriously: "But for rich financiers, this is also a high-risk investment, after all, there are high returns!"

"Yes, unless it's a financier like the coal boss, I don't care if I win or lose, I just want to have fun, or I want to find resources for the girls I chase. ”

Shao Gong said with a smile: "At present, the economic crisis is sweeping the world, and all kinds of enterprises will encounter crises. But this will not necessarily have a big impact on the film market, if the film market is thriving under the economic crisis, will those companies that have been hit by the economic crisis give up this piece of fat? That's why I dare to boldly predict that there will be such companies in the future. Okay, that's all for that, let's go to the meeting!"

"Hmm. ”

Meng Xiangting nodded, and accompanied Shao Gong to the conference room.

As a result, two days later, Menghang successively released "Let the Bullets Fly" by bandits and bullies in the Republic of China, "Assembly" to find missing comrades-in-arms, road comedy "People in Embarrassment" and the Great Northwest Highway movie "No Man's Land", "Huaxia Partner" by good buddies in Huaxia shopping mall, blind date love movie "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", suspenseful "Hypnosis Master", youth love movie "July and Ansheng", personal martial arts movie "Ip Man", and a new type of gods and demons movie "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" and other ten film press conferences, nine of which were directed by Shao Gong himself, and "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" was handed over to Stephen Chow to direct.

The press conferences of ten movies in a row shocked some people's brain nerves, and they all closed their mouths in surprise, thinking that Menghang's move was either crazy or that there were too many scripts to take out and expose at one time. After all, once so many movie shoots are completed and released, they will be fighting themselves at the box office.

But they haven't recovered from the shock yet, Menghang has successively released the modern war-themed "Special Forces: The Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath", the "Palace" that crossed the Qing Palace, the urban sitcom "Love Apartment", the Xianxia drama "Flower Thousand Bone", the Internet horror drama "Soul Ferry", the tomb robbery-themed web drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Exquisite Ancient City", the palace fight-themed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the Anti-Japanese War spy war "The Pretender" and "Sparrow", and the women's legend "Iron Pear Flower" - this is the filming and press conference of ten TV series.

Ten movies, ten TV series, this is really jumping into the river and closing your eyes - you want to make trouble!

Seeing Menghang's actions, the three bosses who followed Yang Tian to participate in the dinner finally closed their eyes and shook their heads with a wry smile, because Menghang's ruthless move finally came out.

With such a big action, Menghang just held the press conference for a month and a half, and some crews had already started filming at that time.

Although Sima Wencheng went to the magnesium country, he still controls the huge writers of the Wencheng Entertainment Newspaper, and for Menghang's chaotic attack, he directly controlled his entertainment brothers and network editors in the magnesium country to start a bombardment of the crazy propaganda of Menghang's major press conferences in various entertainment headlines.

This wave is so high and lasts for a long time that it directly occupies the homepage of Baidu for half a year, and is called by Baidu: Overwhelming Menghang - let you see the unparalleled domineering of Huaxia First Film and Television Group!
