Jielun agreed to the invitation, which is quite normal - at this stage, anyone who has ideas about the movie will not refuse Shen Xudong!

"Life Events" was officially released on June 15, and won 52 million box office in the first weekend for three days...

This result not only shocked the circle, but also shocked Shen Xudong himself.

Because the publicity of "Life Events" is normal, I didn't play any tricks at all.

It's normal online and offline promotion, and by the way, it's also on "Happy Camp".

But there was absolutely no money thrown at the national premiere, let alone any theme concert...

The starring lineup... A TV café of one water!

Whether it is Deng Chao or Zeng Li, they are all TV drama stars - in the era when co-productions are the mainstream, young actors in the mainland can only hone their acting skills on the small screen...

But the box office of "Life Events" in the first three days of the weekend was 52 million!

And the discussion about the movie is also very hot.

It has almost formed a phenomenal situation...

Media evaluation - another "Crazy Stone" was born!

The investor, producer, and screenwriter of "Life Events" are all Shen Xudong, and it can be said that he single-handedly created this movie...

Under this kind of premise, Zhou Jielun will naturally not refuse Shen Xudong's film offer.

Oh, "The Secret That Can't Be Said" was released on July 31, and "Blockbuster" was deliberately adjusted for a week...

gave Zhou Jielun enough respect!

In fact, when Zhou Jielun came to be a director, many people didn't like it - this is called cross-field money grabbing.

You are a singer, it doesn't matter if you are an actor, but being a director is a big taboo...

Shen Xudong remembered that the mainland box office of "The Secret That Can't Be Said" seemed to be 36 million, and the box office in Taiwan was very bleak.

……

"Life Events" publicity... I definitely have to rub "Stone".

It's not about the heat or anything, the main thing is that these two movies are too similar.

In terms of genres, they are all comedies, they all speak dialects, and the most important thing is the small and medium-sized cost invested and produced by Shen Xudong - "Life Events" costs 11 million, and "Stone" costs 8 million...

And it's all novice directors at the helm.

However, Shen Xudong does not agree with this view: "Ning Hao is not a rookie director, before "Stone", he had two or three works... I also watched his graduation work "Thursday, Wednesday", and I knew at that time that he had a good level of storytelling, and the story structure was great... Han Yan, I've seen a few of his short films..."

"And the comedy of "Life Events" is not strong..."

"I have been to many funerals with my elders since I was a child, and there are a lot of fun things at the funerals, including singing and movies... I think the Chinese are actually very romantic about funerals, we tie out the unfulfilled wishes of people when they are alive, and then burn them, I think it is emotional. ”

"The year before last, when I went back to my hometown, I heard my dad say that a child sank into the water, and three groups of people went down and didn't get out, and the eldest brother of the last corpse salvage team fished up the child's body... I feel that standing at the end of death, it is very meaningful to look back on how your life should be more meaningful and what you should cherish! ”

"Also the year before last, I passed by a funeral shroud shop, and there was a car parked in front of the door, the car should be moving or dumping, all of them were wreaths and urns.

Through the door and window, I saw a little girl sitting next to the coffee table, doing her homework.

That image directly touched me, and I felt as if I saw a theme, that is, this store is actually a family, and there is a feeling of spring in that corner... In addition, there is not a legend that 'people become stars in the sky when they die', and the one who does the funeral is the one who planted the stars! ”

"From the very beginning, I was ready to make a film with romantic attributes, which is why I chose Han Yan as the director, and the first word he said to me after reading the script was romance..."

"Han Yan is different from Ning Hao, Ning Hao belongs to a mature director, and Han Yan is still on the way..."

……

Shen Xudong's words... There is no communication, the media reports more on the cost and box office revenue of "Life Events"...

It's really fierce, as of June 25th, "Life Events" was released for ten days, with a cumulative box office of 128 million - 76 million in the second week...

Generally speaking, the box office in the second week usually falls by 30% to 60% compared with the first week, and "Life Events" does not fall but rises, and the box office rises every day...

The media went straight crazy!

Nima, another new director with 100 million yuan?

Last year, Ning Hao, this year Han Yan, and they are not very old...

Ning Hao is 77 years old, Han Yan is 83 years old, one became a director of 100 million yuan at the age of 29, and the other is 24 years old...

What is it called?

Chen Xudong's discerning eyes?

But the reality is in front of you, regardless of the directors and actors who are popular, not popular, half-red and not black, it is called envy, jealousy and hatred!

There are even media who say 'Shen Xudong wants to create a seventh-generation commercial film director...'

A few years ago, low-cost literary films only needed to win awards and fame in foreign countries, and sell overseas copyrights for distribution and sales, and they didn't need to go to theaters to earn domestic box office at all, and they could easily recover their costs and make profits.

Therefore, it has promoted the glory of the "sixth generation of directors" represented by Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, and Wang Xiaoshuai.

Shen Xudong's "Stone", a "Life Events", launched a 200 million yuan director...

You can eat enough through the domestic market, and your reputation is even greater!

directly set off those literary films that have won awards abroad and are praised by film critics, and they are lonely...

Not only that, but the advertorial recommended many movies after Tianmei Media by the way: "Xu Zheng, the director of "People in Embarrassment", Lu Jianqing, the director of "20 Years Old Again", Yang Qing, the director of "Night Club", and Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, the directors of "Half a Comedy", are all rookie directors, among which Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, the directors of "Half a Comedy", directed "The Aviator"... Lu Jianqing is a Hong Kong director and served as an assistant director of "New World"..."

"It is said that TiMi's new director plan is not only for the mainland, but also for Taiwanese directors and Hong Kong directors!"

Unconsciously, Shen Xudong has gathered a large number of cutting-edge directors! I look forward to what they can bring to the table that will be refreshing..."

Finally, there is another sentence: "The gang on the Internet said that Shen Xudong's voice against Hong Kong and Taiwan can be stopped!" ”

……

At the end of June, the capital.

In the hotel, Shen Xudong is chatting with Chen Jiashang...

Chen Jiashang's identity is the chairman of the Academy Awards, and he brings several projects that he wants to build with Golden Harvest.

At the beginning, the two talked about the contradiction between Shen Xudong and the Hong Kong circle.

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I didn't target them... Well, I'll be honest, I don't have them in my eyes at all, my opponent is a Hollywood blockbuster! ”

“… Then I listen to them, you are very familiar with the leaders of the film bureau, and you are ready to card their projects. ”

“… This is nonsense when I hear this, Director Chen, let me tell you this, which industry is involved in your script, it needs the approval of the industry, and the public security department must agree to shape the police... For foreign-related matters, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must agree to do so. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong asked Chen Jiashang rhetorically: "Director Chen, do you think I have the ability to handle so many departments?" ”

“… It's so complicated..."

"You tell me, who spread the rumors?"

“… Some unscrupulous media. Chen Jiashang changed the topic: "Are you interested in the story of "Liao Zhai"? ”

"Be specific..."

"Painted Skin!"
