Shen Xudong originally wanted to tell the truth...

But the truth is too ugly, so let's tout it politely.

How to tout a movie?

It's too simple, acting, costumes, art, props, if you don't have these, you have to blow hard...

As long as you want to win, "Dream Showbiz" can blow flowers!

After touting, according to the process, he got up and prepared to say goodbye, and... Huang Zhonglei came over and warmly invited him to get together...

Shen Xudong was a little hesitant.

Obviously, this is the bureau of the crew of "Ink Attack"... He's really not an outsider.

But..."Ink Attack" also has something to do with the company, and the heroine played by Zeng Li...

I still agreed.

Oh, the original heroine of "Ink Attack" was Fan Jiuyi, and she wanted Chen Hao to cut off Hu...

Popularity, acting skills, popularity, favorability, Chen Hao at this stage has exploded Fan 900 million, and... Huayi Brothers has a cooperative relationship with TiMi Media...

Therefore, the heroine of "Ink Attack" was given to Tianmei Media, but Chen Hao did not answer, so it was replaced by Zeng Li...

Of course, the main reason is because Sister Jiuyi did not renew her contract with Huayi, but went out to work alone.

……

"Manslaughter" is a suspenseful crime film, and the box office ceiling of this genre is 50 million, not to mention that "Manslaughter" focuses on Gong Li... The box office will certainly not be too high..."

"Gong Li is not what it used to be, I heard that "Carol" has a very good reputation in North America, and she has a high probability of being nominated for an Oscar?"

"Being famous in North America and being popular in China are two concepts, you look at Zhang Ziyi, isn't it blowing about the first line in North America, domestic audiences, who cares about her? "Night Banquet" relies on director Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge! ”

"It's true..."

When he arrived at the restaurant, Huang Zhonglei mentioned "Manslaughter", and Shen Xudong dispelled his worries with a few words.

Of course, it's only on the surface...

After all, the film market at this stage is too small, and there is no so-called genre audience division - less than 4,000 screens in total, a hair?

The reason why Huang Zhonglei is relieved is mainly because "Manslaughter" was only released on December 4, at that time, "Ink Attack" had been released for 11 days, and the audience's movie-watching boom period had ended.

"By the way, has your company signed a contract with Gong Li?"

"No," Shen Xudong shook his head: "She signed a contract with an ICM agency in the United States..."

"Then why are you praising her so much?"

"No..."Manslaughter", only if she plays it, there is a market..."Carol" is the same!"

“… I said. ”

Huang Zhonglei sighed...

He felt that he had found the reason why Gong Li was deeply bound to Shen Xudong...

Well, in fact, it's not right, Shen Xudong didn't think about it that much at first, if he could have expected today, he would definitely encourage Gong Li to sign his own company...

Eh, there's nothing wrong with signing now, right?

With the awards season performance of "Carol", Gong Li was nominated for an Oscar, and it was certain...

Then she is the legend of an Asian actress.

Sign her at this time... The benefits are many!

But there are quite few plays suitable for her, after all, she is in her forties...

The actress is over forty years old, and the suitable screen image is either the workplace or the family, and it is difficult to play the leading role...

Just thinking about it, Zhang Zhiliang led the main creative team of "Ink Attack" and walked in...

Shen Xudong hurriedly got up to say hello.

……

"Ink Attack" is a co-production, according to the publicity: "Ink Attack" is created by Huayi Brothers, Japan (Stock Ltd), South Korea (Boram e Indream Motiod) with a heavy investment of 16 million US dollars...

】

The cast is also very strong, Andy Lau, An Shengji, Longliqi, Cui Siyuan, Zeng Li and Wang Zhiwen.

Director, Zhang Zhiliang, as famous as Xu Ke, has the title of Wen Zhang Wuxu, in the Hong Kong film industry, he is a rare literati-type delicate director, he directed "Caged People" and "Flying Over the Dusk" once swept the Hong Kong Film Awards, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

Shen Xudong has a little impression of this director.

In 2011, the battle of "Butterfly on the Shoulder" lost all the credit he had accumulated in the previous 20 years, and the audience regarded him as "another bad film director in the north", and investors subconsciously "tightened their money bags" when they saw him.

Because he pitted the investors to jump off the building!

A literary genre film, costing 80 million, is enough to make a "Warring States", let's put it this way, a large-scale 3D mm game like "Zhu Xian", starting from scratch, with a team of more than 100 people developing for two years, the total investment of such a scale is more than 20 million yuan...

"Butterfly on the Shoulder" cost 80 million?

I wonder where the money is spent!

Therefore, when he saw Zhang Zhiliang, Shen Xudong didn't pay much attention to it, but chatted with Andy Lau.

"Yes, mainly action movies... After all, Chinese movies are all world-famous action movies..."

"There are also police crime films..."

"There's definitely a chance, I have a good script in my hand..."

Andy Lau's eyes lit up - he knew a little about Shen Xudong, and knew that he had high requirements for the script, and if he could be said to be good, it would definitely not be bad...

"It's called 'The Tuner', and the main character is a blind man... Pretending to be blind..."

Shen Xudong was telling Andy Lau the story of "The Tuner", and Zhang Zhiliang next to him took the initiative to come over: "Shen Dong, what do you think of "Ink Attack"? ”

“… Well, commercial blockbusters. ”

"Can the box office exceed 100 million?"

“… I can't say it," Shen Xudong looked at Huang Zhonglei: "You ask Huang Dong, he is in charge of this distribution..."

"Do you think there's something wrong with that?"

“… The text seems to look at the mountains and don't like the flat, as a visual art, if you can go up and down on the picture and leave some classics, that's the best thing, the movie "Ink Attack" is flat and stable, and you can't pick out the thorns, but there is nothing worth mentioning..."

"I mobilized thousands of people to shoot together, and the footage was realistic..."

Shen Xudong retorted directly: "Do you know "Armageddon"? A big scene of hundreds of thousands of people..."

“… Don't talk about this, eat something, starting tomorrow, everyone will have a national roadshow, this is a tough battle! ”

Huang Zhonglei interrupted the 'discussion' between the two: "Xudong, eat something?" ”

"Hmm... The brisket I ate in Jiuji in the morning has not been eaten until now! ”

"Nine notes?"

"yes... They told me that the brisket of Jiu Kee was the best! ”

"Of course Jiuji's brisket is delicious, you should try something else!"

"I live in Sheung Wan relatively close, and I can get there by bicycle."

Andy Lau was curious: "Where did you buy the house?" ”

Shen Xudong replied: "Repulse Bay... Mr. Wrinkle sells mine cheaply..."

"Mr. Fu Wenhuai?"

"Hmm... When he saw that I always stayed in the hotel, he transferred a suite to me..."

Shen Xudong is not a fool, he has a mansion to live in, why do he live in a hotel?

He just doesn't flaunt his wealth, and he's not rich...

It wasn't his money that was used to buy Golden Harvest, it was his investment with Gao Fenfenla...

And the price of Wrinkle Wenhuai is fair, with an area of 400 square meters, 18 million Hong Kong dollars, of course, take it directly, Repulse Bay, luxury house, Hong Kong's rich area gathering place!

Not only are there sky basketball courts, swimming pools, and green areas, but there are also fences around for security and privacy.

"It's better to buy Saigon district... My house is over there in Saigon..."

“… Forget it, I don't live often..."

The two chatted happily, and Zhang Zhiliang next to him interjected again: "Shen Dong, I watched one, called "Ticket", which tells the story of a resentful girl, with the ticket left in her infancy, with the encouragement and encouragement of her friends, she embarked on the arduous road of finding her mother for thousands of miles..."

“… Let me tell you a story..."Shen Xudong really doesn't want to deal with him, the story of "Ticket" is too cliché, Zhang Zhiliang can't tell it well!

So, I simply changed the topic: "A migrant worker carried the corpse of a friend and went home thousands of miles for the New Year... China is very big, there are many stories, it's not interesting to find my mother for a thousand miles, my first film work "Orphaned"..."

Hearing this, Huang Zhonglei interjected: "Are you talking about last year's news? ”

"Yes... Zhang Yang talked to me for a while, and I want to make a movie, and we are contacting Zhao Benshan..."
