Chapter 9 Why Are You So Idle? (3/3)

The two were in the airport waiting hall, Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai, who was texting Chang Xiaoxiang, and couldn't help but speak; "Boss, I think you're different now?"

“… Greasy? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Xudong hurriedly nodded, and then felt that something was not right: "How do you know that there is a word for you?" ”

Zhao Linhai: "Didn't you teach me, the most disgusting sign of a man is to become greasy!" ”

“… You know you're greasy, so change it quickly! ”

"If you stay in the distribution department for three months, you'll be like me!"

"We still have a distribution department?"

"My sister formed it, and she specially asked me to go over and help keep an eye on..."

"And then you're all in the flow?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "I didn't..."

"Really?"

Shen Xudong expressed doubts, if not, how could he say such a thing as 'sponsoring a beauty pageant and model contest'?

This thing has to be understood by the old fritters in the circle!

Beauty pageants have existed since ancient times, and the earliest and most widespread existed in the court, both in the East and the West.

In ancient times, the emperor's choice of concubines was the grandest beauty pageant in the country, and at this time, no matter where you were born, you had the opportunity to soar.

There are also folk people, and the beauty pageant at that time was a prostitute, called "Flower Appraisal Meeting", and the one who chose the Oiran!

In modern times, the most famous should be the Miss Hong Kong selection...

Many of our familiar stars have entered the entertainment industry through Miss Hong Kong as a springboard, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, Li Jiaxin... And Charmaine Sheh!

The way this thing is played in the mainland has changed...

All sorts of sex scandals...

Zhao Linhai told the truth: "Actually, they told me, I just thought Boss Chen was very interesting, so I casually gave a suggestion..."

“… Don't go to the distribution department in the future... You are a screenwriter, don't make yourself so philistine! ”

Zhao Linhai smiled: "I have been transferred back to the screenwriting team, and I am in charge of the screenwriter of "Happy Heroes"!" ”

Shen Xudong hurriedly thanked him: "... Thank you, Boss! ”

"Happy Hero", Shen Xudong didn't think of any good ideas, so he simply didn't accept it, and only made "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...

He didn't do it, the company had already taken over the project, and Zhao Linhai came to clean up the mess.

Zhao Linhai waved his hand and changed the topic: "..."Happy Hero" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword"... I don't feel like these two scripts can get high ratings! ”

“… CCTV broadcast, there is a lower limit..."

I'm afraid of smashing the ratings chassis!

In the original time and space, the ratings of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" were 0.62%...

That's not a lot of ratings!

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong also said simply: "That's it, when it's broadcast, if they have opinions, I'll help them write a high-rated book!" ”

“… Okay, let's go, it's time, let's get on the plane! ”

Zhao Linhai never doubted Shen Xudong's words...

Since he said to write a book with high ratings, it must be high ratings!

……

In the beginning, we had eight major film studios to produce feature films that were distributed throughout the country.

Later, each province had its own studios, such as Nanjing Film Studio, Lanzhou Film Studio, etc., these studios were basically established in the late Wenge period, which were mainly used for political propaganda at the beginning, not for the production of feature films distributed nationwide, but later reformed and could be produced!

The most typical is Guangxi Film Studio, which can be described as the benefactor of the fifth generation - "One and Eight" and "Yellow Earth" are all produced by Guangxi Film Studio!

Although it is a provincial first-class studio, it still covers from production to distribution, one-stop...

This has one consequence: local protection is very serious!

That is, it is now marketized, and in the nineties, let alone Shen Xudong, even the movies produced by BJ Film Studio are difficult to sell copies in the south!

Sichuan cinema ranking, Pacific cinema ranked first.

Shen Xudong came this time, mainly to thank him.

"The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has a national box office of 41.8 million, of which Sichuan Pacific Cinema contributed 5.6 million, ranking third, second only to the New Film Association and Shanghai United Cinema...

It may also be that this film is more in line with the taste of Pacific Cinema audiences!

But no matter what, "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling" must still rely on Pacific Cinemas to schedule more films!

……

After going out for a walk and returning to Shanghai, "The Legend of the Hunter of Xing'anling" has been released for two days.

With the foundation of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and 8 million publicity funds, on April 1, the box office of "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" was as high as 12.6 million on the first day, and the box office exceeded 25 million in two days!

The effect is not bad...

But word of mouth... Compared with "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", it is a little worse - the four stories of "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" failed to blend smoothly.

And... The suspense effect in the second half is a bit crotch-pulling...

But the box office is even better!

Shen Xudong didn't understand a little, it didn't affect him to promote the movie, returned to Shanghai, and directly ran a few roadshows with Yang Xiaomi:

"It's segmented, with three paragraphs, fallacies, lovesickness, and cause and effect, which disrupt the narrative..."

"Learning Vulgarity? No, I just wanted to cram three impressive legends into them..."

"A lot of times, you have to think about censorship, horror films can't produce very good works in the current domestic environment, under the shackles of policies, folk anecdotes can't get on the screen, and all kinds of supernatural legends can't make you creepy... Therefore, I have to set the background of the story in the Republic of China, and let the second master directly deny the existence of ghosts, and firmly determine the evil side of people's hearts, and concretize gods and ghosts into natural things. ”

"Thank you for your support..."

……

The roadshow promotion is basically a rhetoric, because the media, reporters, and the audience all ask similar questions.

After an afternoon of tossing, I set off for Wuhan.

Shen Xudong slept all the way and woke up when he arrived at the hotel.

got out of the car and was about to eat something, and then he noticed Yang, a fan who was following him, and patted her: "Xiaomi... What do you think? ”

Yang Xiaomi was a little afraid of him, and hurriedly took a step back: "Ah... It's nothing... Shall we go to eat? ”

“…”

Because of the last sharp mouth thing?

Isn't that a lack of time, and the location is not suitable...

Plus I drank a little wine and did something excessive!

Changed the subject: "Why is this promotion just you and the director?" What about Brother Hu? ”

"I heard Lao Cai say that Lao Hu and they have to rehearse the drama, and they can't take leave..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "What is the broken school?" Can't take a leave of absence to promote a movie? He's a junior this year, right? ”

“… Well, it should be! ”

"We are in the middle of the opera, and we don't have to stay in school in the third year, and the real Nima in the drama makes people speechless!"

Yang Xiaomi nodded: "We can come out to film in our freshman year at Nortel!" ”

"I know!"

“… You know? ”

"I went to your school to choose a role..."

It's true, the school spirit of Chinese opera is particularly strict, and it is stipulated that before the third year, you are not allowed to go out to take on the play.

Nortel is much more relaxed, attaches importance to the current development of students, not only encourages them to take on the play, but also formulates an acting file for everyone, and writes the resume clearly to facilitate the casting of the crew.

At the beginning of "The Best Family" went to Nortel for casting, Shen Xudong chose two: Zhu Yanwen and Lu Fangsheng...

"You're coming to our school for casting?"

"Yes... That's when I saw your picture, so..."

"So, are these two plays that you recommended me to join?"

“… I can understand it that way! ”

Yang Xiaomi nodded thoughtfully: "... Then I forgive you! ”
