Chapter Ninety-Eight: Touting
Liu Yifei is really hot!
A line of flowers.
There is no post-85 term, mentioning her, the only gear, or tied with Sidan Shuangbing...
Such a popular and good-looking young actor will naturally attract competition from all sides!
However, she is now high-spirited, or she has the support of her godfather, and the targets are Zhang Ziyi and Wang Fei...
released a Japanese album, wanted to compete with Wang Fei in music, and took over Hollywood productions, but wanted to break into Hollywood...
It's a pity that the economic and financial crisis is coming, the godfather's strength is declining, and this way is not working!
However, she is now very popular, in addition to "Double J Project", there is also "Martial Arts Liang Zhu" that does not cooperate with Ma Chucheng...
It's all top resources!
It's understandable that I can't look at the small-budget production of "Happy Death Day"...
As for Shen Xudong's ability?
What kind of climate can a small fight become?
can't be released in China!
What? Oscar for Best Screenplay?
So what, Li Amine's play, she refused...
The most important thing is that Liu's mother said, 'Even if the cooperation is limited, it is only limited to the film contract, and will not consider transferring the agency contract to others'
Then cooperate with a yarn?
The brokerage contract is not transferred, and then the film is co-authored?
You are not a son of the plane, why do you hold you?
……
In the private room, Shen Xudong was greeted when he entered the door...
Huang Zhonglei, Zhang Guoli, Feng Xiaogang, including Wang Jinghua, all got up...
"Returning home with honor!"
"Now you can say, 'Lie flat in the Chinese film circle!' ”
"No... It's just a matter of luck... Teachers and uncles sit down first. ”
Shen Xudong hurriedly returned the salute with a smile, and when a few people sat down, Huang Zhonglei said: "... I heard that "Zhao Zilong" sold crazy in South Korea and Japan...The global box office of "Juno" is also 230 million US dollars? ”
"South Korea and Japan said they wanted it when they invested in it, no matter how well it sells, it has nothing to do with me, and I can't get a dime, and the money for "Juno" is basically made by the publisher..."
"Publisher?"
Shen explained: "First of all, 15 percent of the North American box office is a distribution commission of $21.45 million... And then the issuance fee and publicity fee paid in advance, almost 14 million US dollars...
"14 million?"
"The public relations of the film's test screening, the storage and transportation of copies, the cost of capital recovery, the hiring of an investigation company, the secret investigation of the box office of the theater, various publicity expenses, etc., all need money!"
Huang Zhonglei then asked: "What about the overseas box office?" ”
"Hollywood's ability to make false accounts, even Wall Street can't find out the problem, publishers false declarations, tax deductions and many other means, only unexpected, without them can't do, especially long-term revenue of video tapes and TV copyrights, can do more tricks... So, we simply sold it to Fox for $45 million... That's the money I earned, but Juno cost $27 million to make, and I need to pay the rest of the cast and crew..."
Summary: Earn not much!
"You're on the right track, aren't you?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "So the shooting of the two movies was started, adding up to the cost of 60 million US dollars..."
"You're so daring!"
Shen Xudong said with a bitter face: "... Doing film and television is like gambling, you can't do it as a business, because you definitely want to make a profit when you do business, and there is no way to make movies, because this is for the public... Whether the public welcomes it or not, no one can say whether it is good..."
Zhang Guoli hurriedly asked: "Then why do you dare to be so generous?" ”
"$60 million looks like a lot, divided into two movies, one is only 30 million, put aside Hollywood, $30 million is nothing... A casual A-level production starts with 100 million... I don't have the money to make big productions, so I can only make some small and medium-budget films..."
"It's not easy for you!"
"There's no way, it's hard to get in touch with the theater, you can't stop production... I don't want to make three or four movies a year..."
……
The grievance meeting lasted for half an hour, in a word: hard work and low reward!
The meal was ready, and several people began to eat...
While chatting about the past.
Unconsciously, halfway through the meal, everyone was eating very well and chatting happily, Feng Xiaogang glanced at Shen Xudong, and then said: "Back then, the first time I saw you kid, I felt that you were not a thing in the pool!" ”
Zhang Guoli stalked: "Oh? How? ”
Shen Xudong also looked curious...
"We met for the second time and talked about "Party A and Party B 2", "Mobile Phone 2" and "No Thieves in the World", do you remember?"
"Hmm... Remember..."
Feng Xiaogang continued: "After chatting a few words about the actor candidates, and then you proposed Gong Li, I said, 'Gong Li, I can't reach it', and then, you drove her up... This is not something that ordinary people can do! ”
Shen Xudong explained: "I was working with Mr. Gong Li on "Witnesses of the Whole People" and "Manslaughter"... She always wanted to act well, but unfortunately she couldn't find a good script..."
Feng Xiaogang shook his head and glanced at Shen Xudong again: "Zhonglei originally arranged for a whole team to contact Gong Li and wanted to sign her, but it didn't work... You say a word, and she'll come... Is this something that ordinary people can do? ”
It's trying to... The relationship between Shen Xudong and Gong Li is not ordinary?
Maybe you think that Shen Xudong will be proud when you say this?
Gong Lihe...
It's a pity that although Shen Xudong likes art exchanges, he has never talked openly about the idea of art, and smiled: "I talked with her and her agent, and analyzed her acting career... She prefers to trust my judgment! ”
"How?"
"It's just... Chinese actors, no matter whether you go to Hollywood or not, and what you do, even if you are on the top, the focus of your career must still be in China... Because you are a Chinese actor, it is impossible for audiences in other countries to treat you as their own! ”
Wang Jinghua nodded: "That's right, Zhang Ziyi has returned to China to develop..."
Shen Xudong added: "Especially actors, even if a film studio takes a fancy to you, it is also your popularity in China... Cheng Long and Li Lian are exceptions, they are Hollywood who have entered by action, and they belong to Hollywood's scarce talents..."
Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang was happy: "So, you have the ability, these things are not visible to ordinary people!" ”
"No..."Shen Xudong hurriedly said: "Brother Chenglong will return to China to develop..."
Huang Zhonglei on the side suddenly interjected: "According to what you say, Cheng Long and Li Lian will definitely make money by cooperating in a movie?" ”
“… You mean "The King of Kung Fu"... As long as the movie is made, it will definitely make money..."
As for earning more and earning less, it's hard to say!
"I heard that Cheng Long approached you and wanted you to join?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Hmm... But I can't do it, because in this movie, Lee Link and Cheng Long have to be teammates... I can't think of anyone who can be the villain..."
"The King of Kung Fu" is too mediocre and wastes a table of good dishes...
"As long as you can earn it... Is Xudong interested in doing it together? ”
“… I'll forget it, I'm going to come back this time, I'm going to be a director and make a movie..."
Huang Zhonglei immediately said: "Is it "Becoming Famous"? ”
"Hmm... A little fight..."
"You're not making a fuss, I've looked at the actors, all of them are first-line big names..."
