"Little Miss Sunshine" first shined at the Sundance Film Festival, and began to be released in seven theaters in North America in March, grossing $370,000 in its opening weekend. By April 25, the film was released in more than 1,600 theaters in the United States, grossing $2.07 million on its opening day, and topped the U.S. box office in its first weekend.

As of now, the film's cumulative box office in the United States is $39.89 million...

Moreover, the reputation thief is good, and generally the movies with good reputation can be released in the art theaters of Laomei for half a year to a year, and then make a little effort, and give a few titles during the awards season, and the copyright income can be at least a few million dollars more.

Compared with the cost of less than 8 million US dollars, it is simply Qin Shi Huang touching the electric door, and he is numb!

Harvey is really... Too greedy.

"Little Sunshine Beauty" is a project introduced by Shen Xudong, yes, the script was bought out, 1.8 million US dollars...

But, is it reasonable to send a red envelope to show it?

If you don't send it, forget it, Shen Xudong said that Feng Xiaogang is his uncle, and he still cheats others.

This does not give face!

"Working with Weinstein means that "Night Banquet" has entered the North American market, what does this mean, you should understand..."

Harvey is used to being strong against non-North American filmmakers...

Shen Xudong's face?

How much is it worth?

Harvey was sure that even if "The Night Banquet" was of poor quality, he would be able to package it up and sell it to Blockbuster.

There is a bed scene in "The Night Banquet", and Harvey is very good at hyping these.

In the early years, Harvey did Miramax by buying a lot of art films from Europe and then showing them in North America.

European art films often mean passion, bed scenes, Harvey cut out the nude scenes and put them in the trailer to attract the audience, and this is how Miramax gradually developed.

Of course, "Night Banquet" can do that.

I knew that the positioning of oriental women in Hollywood was exotic and mystical beauty.

Generally, Hollywood movies with oriental women appear, if you don't come with the male lead, it is called against the will of the audience!

So, most of them will come with a shot.

Zhang Ziyi is currently popular in North America.

If nothing else, the North American videotape rental and sales revenue of "Memoirs of a Geisha" are close to $42 million!

"Night Banquet" is properly operated, not to mention millions of dollars, and if you are lucky enough to pass the quality, the income will be higher.

Huang Zhonglei is a little hesitant, North America is the world's largest single film market, who doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?

At the price of $5 million, he was quite satisfied.

"Night Banquet" cost $15 million, and with Zhang Ziyi's fame, it sold nearly $5 million overseas.

This time in Cannes, in order to sell at a good price, a huge amount of money was spent, and the publicity fee alone was as high as 2 million.

If it can really be sold for $5 million, it won't be bad.

Overseas income is nearly 8 million, and only 7 million US dollars need to be recovered in China to make money.

So far, "Night Banquet" has sold 15 million yuan in domestic DVDs, plus 5 million yuan in movie channel revenue and 15 million in patch advertising, a total of 35 million.

In other words, as long as "Night Banquet" earns more than 20 million at the box office, it will be able to recoup its cost.

Of course, the cost of publicity is less than 20 million ...

With Feng Xiaogang's fame, how can the box office of "Night Banquet" be 100 million...

It's sure to make money!

But now, hearing that Harvey is a liar...

Huang Zhonglei... Not quite willing to believe it.

He chose to ask Zhang Ziyi's opinion.

The International Chapter must have helped Harvey speak.

Let's put it this way, Weinstein Pictures recently has an Asian film fund plan, stating that it will remake "Thirteen Eagles in Cold Blood", "The Drunken Man", and by the way, "Seven Samurai", starring Zhang Ziyi.

You can still find a press release: Zhang Ziyi is in talks with Weinstein to sign on to act in three films, including a remake of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai."

In this context, how could Zhang Ziyi help Shen Xudong speak?

"When I say it, believe it or not."

Leaving a sentence, Shen Xudong continued to eat.

He's done what he's supposed to do.

Not convinced?

Believe it or not!

……

Shen Xudong didn't go to see "Summer Palace", and he didn't have any special thoughts about Lou Ye.

Some people think that he is a symbolized director who belongs to the category of being represented - forbidden means excellent.

Liberal youth, who belong to all anti-system groups, want to lean upwards and appear to be unique.

Therefore, he is inseparable from him in the mouth of literary and artistic youth, and he is indispensable for touting, and looking at his works from the perspective of movies can only be said to be boring.

The script comes from the story meeting, but everything he shoots is pretentious, so it is mysterious, there is no central idea, and countless brain-dead fans call it literature and art.

But there are also those who think he is awesome and focuses on erotic expression.

Shen Xudong used to be the first view, even more radical.

He once thought that Lou Ye's films were more like monologues of mentally ill patients, a self-imagined false world, and there were some good-looking scenes in it, but there was no logic, only pretentiousness, so it was mysterious, straightforward, sarcastic and self-conscious, but in fact there was nothing left, only wailing.

is just like the woman in his movie, crying while loving love, she can't even do love well, and what thoughts do you talk about, it's just a crying man who is sad and sad.

But then I watched "The Night of the Spring Breeze Drunk" and "Tuina"...

overturned their own views.

This is a director with a standard and his own persistence.

But "Summer Palace" is still forgotten, it's too dangerous...

In fact, after the screening of "Summer Palace" in Cannes, it did not cause much discussion.

Our so-called large-scale is actually commonplace in Cannes!

European and American art films, as long as love is involved, there will inevitably be bed scenes, and the sea of passion scenes is gone.

Random examples: Bertolucci, Polanski, including Woody Allen, which one has not been revealed?

is the highest-rated "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" in Cannes, and there are a lot of exposures.

Judging whether a movie is wonderful or not simply by whether it is exposed or not, at least at the film festival, is not appropriate!

This year's Almodóvar in Cannes led the way. British director Andrea Arnold's "Red Road" and Turkish director Nuri Bigg Ceylon's "Ideology" are also well-received.

Not to mention Ken Roach's "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" and Kaurismäki's "Light in the Dusk", both of which have a score of more than 3 points.

With so many excellent works as a backdrop, "Summer Palace" seems not enough to watch, and there is no media discussion, which also means that there is no attention.

】

The movie that can win the award may not be recognized as a good movie, but it will definitely be discussed!

……

"Why are you going?"

"I'm going to a drinking party..."

Shen Xudong passed by Gong Li's interview site, and was stopped by her and asked, and Shen Xudong answered very casually.

Gong Li asked him to come over, and then asked, "Did you tell the people on the movie channel that I must win the award this time?" ”

"yes... My idea for "Carol" was to win an award. How? You don't have faith? ”

“… Xudong is full of confidence in "Carol"! ”

Shen Xudong glanced at the interjection...

Well, it's a reporter from Nandu.

So, he said, "It has to be... The official screening will be held tomorrow afternoon, so you'll find out when you go and see it! ”
