Chapter 123: Don't mess with Lao Tzu!

The release time of "Rise to Fame" has been confirmed: September 28th, the main National Day file!

In the original time and space, this year's National Day file originally had "Lust and Caution", so movies such as "The True Colors of Men" and "The Fuse" were concentrated in August...

No one expected that something would go wrong - "Lust and Caution" was finally released on November 1.

Then, "Iron Triangle" picked up the cheap and dominated the National Day file...

It doesn't make much sense because the audience doesn't like the movie!

Pull it back, this year, "Rise to Fame" will fill the vacancy of the National Day file.

After the editing was completed, Shen Xudong handed over the movie to Guo Fan and Su Lun, and let them be responsible for the color grading, dubbing, and editing in the later stage...

β€”β€”Give young directors a chance to practice!

Well, he's just lazy...

After being busy for so many days, he is also qualified to be lazy.

Recent... Something happened in the circle.

It's not a big deal, it's the Hong Kong circle 'collectively' boycotting the sequel to "Zhao Zilong"...

When "Seven Captures, Seven Verticals, and Seven Perverted Wolves" was released, Zeng Zhiwei inadvertently 'broke the news' when he was promoting the movie, and then he was added to the media by the fire...

When it reaches the mainland, it becomes a 'collective boycott in the Hong Kong circle'...

Showing affection, stirring up scandals, and turning over old accounts are all routines.

Hype, understandable!

Understanding is understanding, and being angry is of course angry...

I feel like these Hong Kong filmmakers have in their brains...

Do you step on a horse movie and don't sell my bird business?

Could it be that if Lao Tzu doesn't film, you will be able to sell out?

Besides, the sequel to "Zhao Zilong" is Li Rengang and Andy Lau who picked their sons first, do you want Shen Xudong to kneel down and beg them to continue filming a sequel?

It is also understandable that the complex emotions of pride, inferiority, confusion, and sensitivity have created a strong xenophobic psychology among Hong Kong filmmakers, and at the same time, they are also afraid of competition in their hearts...

Don't they know that Hong Kong movies pull their hips because they can't beat Hollywood?

Of course you know, so why say it's because of the return?

Because... In this way, it can cover up their incompetence!

……

"A bunch of idiots..."

Shen Xudong looked at the Hong Kong box office analysis of the May file in his hand and came to a conclusion.

The Hong Kong box office of "Demon Whitefish Town" is 14 million Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely not comparable to the previous "Mountain Village Fox Wife" and "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling", but it is still the top ten Chinese films of the year!

"Seven Captures, Seven Verticals, Seven Colored Wolves" and "Sparrow Saint 3: Three Hundred Self-Draws", which were released at the same time, were extremely dismal at the box office!

The former has a box office of 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and the latter has less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars...

Obviously, the gang is not angry!

Gao Fenfen reminded: "Don't underestimate this group of people, the Hong Kong entertainment industry is also intricate, and the circle is set in circles..."

"What can we do?"

β€œβ€¦ We are outsiders after all... The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! ”

Shen Xudong was speechless: "What a strong dragon, a ground snake... It's just a bunch of thugs who have gained power..."

β€œβ€¦ What are you going to do? ”

"Three cards, treat, behead, accept as a dog..."

Gao Fenfen pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Isn't it what the instructor said, to win over a group, divide a group, and suppress a group?" ”

"Yes... That's what I mean! ”

As he spoke, he took out the synopsis of the script of "Pure Heart, Dream Chasing Interpretation Circle": "Look, this is my new work... Also known as "In Those Years, We Girls Together"..."

Gao Fenfen hurriedly took it and turned the title page, which was a very... Regular line: We go all the way, not to change the world, but to not let the world change us!

β€œβ€¦ Is this an inspirational film? ”

"Look down..."

"Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz", the script is not complicated, it is what mainland actresses have seen and heard in the Hong Kong circle...

β€”β€”Entertainment companies need to invest a lot of effort and money to cultivate a popular star.

If an actor becomes popular and is poached by competitors, the investment of entertainment companies will be wasted.

So in order to prevent the loss of resources, the company must control the stars.

And the means of controlling celebrities are often through things that cannot be seen, and over time, the unspoken rules of the circle gradually mature, ferment, change taste, and rot.

After the return, the flies were treated preferentially, so they were keen to promote Hong Kong's black miasma in the mainland, for example, when they met female celebrities, they always had to dive...

Do you think that's the limit?

Oh, the Emperor's hotel was a brothel for the rich for a while!

What Zhang Ziyan and the tragic incident in the Korean entertainment industry, it is all left over from the Hong Kong circle.

Gao Fenfen had already flipped through the synopsis of the script and was a little surprised: "Where did you see this?" ”

β€œβ€¦ Gossip magazine! ”

"Will you be charged?"

β€œβ€¦ I didn't name me, why should you sue me? ”

Shen Xudong didn't care and said: "Record first, this theme is suitable for making a third-class film..."

β€œβ€¦ Okay, then I'll send it to Zhong Lifang..."

"Hmm,"

After chatting about "Dream Showbiz", Shen Xudong asked about the situation of the video website...

Oh, they invested 20 million in PPS and became a major shareholder - the most important thing, so that the company's copyright has a regular video website to broadcast!

Why PPS?

I just think it's a nice name...

Well, the composition of the main potato equity is too complicated, and Youku is another group of old guns...

I simply chose PPS!

"It's ok... It's in the top five in terms of clicks. ”

β€œβ€¦ Does our company still have money? ”

"Of course there is money... How? Are you short of money? ”

"No," Shen Xudong suggested, "... I think I can buy some more overseas dramas, anyway, it's the price of cabbage now, and I can directly sign the exclusive network copyright, and authorize it for five years ~ ten years..."

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong added: "There is also Japanese benzene anime, and the exclusive authorization of "Naruto" and "One Piece" must be obtained! ”

β€œβ€¦ Even if you sign an exclusive, it's useless..."

"It's okay, at the end of the year at most, the network should be formalized, and then the lawsuit will be filed directly!"

Gao Fenfen nodded, then sighed: "... This thing is too expensive, do you know how much money we spent after investing in PPS? ”

β€œβ€¦ 127 million..."

"How do you know... Oh, you're the chairman..."

It's not nonsense, Shen Xudong just doesn't go to work much, and it's not that he doesn't care about the development of the company...

If he really didn't care, he wouldn't have proposed to take a stake in a video site!

……

In the evening, Shen Xudong had a dinner...

was about to call Zhang Xi to go to the appointment together, she appeared in the office, white shirt + suit + black silk...

made Shen Xudong a little respectful...

"Don't wear that next time..."

"But Sister Chen Xi said that you like this..."

β€œβ€¦ Do you understand what she means by liking? I'll tell you..."

Shen Xudong is going to explain the precautions of the secretary, at least you can't let the boss keep it upright... The lower part will affect the one above.

So, Matthew McConaughey in "The Wolf of Wall Street" would say, 'The secret to success is to masturbate me twice a day...'

Indeed, in the state of an idler, many things will be much easier!

Well, a cup of sunrise, a glass of moonlight. A cup for freedom, a glass for death...

Oh, Zhang Xi didn't let Shen Xudong finish speaking, she walked over with a red face, and then got under the table...
