The opinion of the circle on "The Secret That Can't Be Said" is very unanimous: Zhou Jielun's ticket trip!

After all, there are still very few cross-border directors at this stage, and it is generally believed that professional things still have to be handed over to professional people.

Shen Xudong likes this film very much.

There are crossings and reversals, and the important thing is that the soundtrack is simply invincible: secret, morning exercise, Xiaoyu writes Keliby...

All of them are boutiques!

Zhou Jielun at this stage is indeed a genius, and his music is really invincible.

"The Secret That Can't Be Said" only has music and a love story, and it's a very clean love story!

At least it's much better than the vulgar movie "Love Notice".

It's a pity that opponents are always opponents, and the company's publisher can't be merciful just because "The Unspeakable Secret" is of good quality...

Not only to suppress its arrangement, but also to attack it in public opinion...

Directly crowned with the title of a bad movie.

It's already pretty good, at least it didn't steal its box office!

……

August 10th, Beijing.

With the release of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", the box office of "Lao Qian" successfully exceeded 100 million yuan.

Well, the premiere of "Order of the Phoenix" has been canceled, and the previously rumored actors' trip to China has also been disappointed...

The film's promotional offensive was much less than that of the previous Harry Potter films.

Compared with the weakening of the campaign, the box office had a greater impact on the number of copies, which were less than 400 - for example: "Spider-Man 3" (520), "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" (530), "Transformers" (550)

The release scale of "Order of the Phoenix" must be much smaller!

Many people complained that the above had made a move, in order to create a 'fair' arena for "Lao Qian", it...

It's really not - because in terms of input and output, before 2009, Hollywood stars came to China once, and the gains outweighed the losses.

When "The Expendables" was released, Stallone said he was coming, and his agent reported a budget of more than $1 million to the distribution company — including more than 40 entourages (a five-star hotel would love to have a floor) and a private jet.

"Harry Potter" is not bad, if not such a big battle.

Who pays for this?

It's still Warner.

The highest box office of the Harry Potter series in China is 94 million, which is divided (the proportion of revenue sharing of all parties in imported blockbusters is 35% for the producer, 17% for the distributor, and 48% for the projection). Not even $3 million!

Could it be that the main creative team comes to China to promote it once, and "Harry Potter" will reach 300 million?

Since the main creator has almost the same amount of money or not, then there is naturally no motivation.

However, the General Administration estimates that it doesn't matter, so many pots are back, not bad for this one!

Well, it's not a 'pot' - most of the print media did not report the news of the release of "Order of the Phoenix", but all kinds of boasted about the box office record of "Lao Qian" - second only to "Golden Armor", and even surpassed "Zhao Zilong"...

"Zhao Zilong" was released on the 26th of the lunar month, and the box office did not exceed 100 million until the fifth day of the first month.

It's just that there were no decent opponents throughout February, including March...

Pulled back, on August 10, the company held a mid-range celebration for "Lao Qian", and Zhou Jielun also came.

Jielun came to congratulate "Lao Qian" on the box office hit, he has a good relationship with Gong Li, "Golden Armor", they play mother and son...

He read the script of "Bursting Drummer" and was excited...

Jielun is conceited, musically - who will sing their name over and over again in the lyrics?

On his first album, he dared to play songs such as "Lady", "Bullfight", and "Indian Old Turtledove", didn't he know that love songs like "Lovely Woman", "Xingqing" and "Tornado" were recognized by the market?

The male protagonist of "Burst Drummer" is a genius, and he is a very hard-working genius, and he meets a mentor who tortures people for pleasure - consequentialism, and he is rectified to death; If you don't die, you will hold it to the sky.

This script isn't really an inspirational movie...

It just so happens that Zhou Jielun doesn't want to act in any inspirational films!

But... It's a little regrettable, because I didn't see Shen Xudong at the celebration banquet, but chatted with Chen Xi - Chen Xi is the producer of "Burst Drummer".

Tell him that the filming of this movie will start in September...

Zhou Jielun nodded no problem, his new album will be launched in November, when the time comes, filming during the day, and recording songs at night...

In addition, the starring lineup was also determined: Chen Daoming, and Ren Dahua...

The director was replaced by Qiu Litao - Qiu Litao plays rock and roll!

At that time, the three heroes of Magic Rock held a concert in Hung Hom, Hong Kong Island, and the organizer wanted to find someone who knew both rock and roll and filmed to record the performance. Qiu Litao semi-volunteered to direct a documentary called "Rock and Roll Chinese Music Power", and also edited it into a DVD himself, which is regarded as a classic by the majority of music fans.

"Burst Drummer" is related to music after all, and you can't always find someone who doesn't understand music to direct.

What's more, Qiu Litao works fast - this year, he filmed two dramas for Golden Harvest "Crime City" (replacing Hong Jinbao) and "Playthings", well, he can easily hold on to two completely different styles!

And... Basically, it can be completed in 30 days!

Pulling it back, Zhou Jielun chatted with Chen Xi for a while, and then asked, "Why don't you see Shen Dong?" ”

"Xudong went to South Korea... Talk about a film collaboration, and then you have to go to the United States..."

"To Korea? What movie to talk about? ”

“… It seems to be "20 Years Old Again", and he wants to make a version in South Korea as well..."

……

A double shot!

Two versions of one script.

Shen Xudong just wants to copy the way in his memory - "Twenty Years Old Again" and "Strange Her" have both hit a lot of box office...

He is also interested in "Twenty Years Old Again"...

He has no idea about the so-called Korean market ...

Moreover, he can't compete with Netflix - after Netflix entered South Korea, it relied on its money ability to attract people from the Korean film industry to make TV series for Netflix, which directly drained the talents accumulated by the Korean film industry for decades!

——The consequence is that the industrial chain is in the hands of others, and the majority of others have earned it, and they have not fed back the industrial chain, nor will they invest in things that belong to their own culture.

Oh, after Shen Xudong arrived in South Korea, he directly chatted with Jung Tae-sung, the head of CJ Films, about his idea, and the latter said that he could give it a try.

And when the two sides communicated, Jung Tae-sung was obviously very complimentary...

This makes Shen Xudong feel quite incredible, in the past two years, Koreans have jumped very much, and the Korean Wave has gone to the world at every turn...

Later, there was a honeymoon period, when Korean filmmakers came to China to work, and publicly declared that 'Korean films have technical advantages'...

As the director of CJ Films, Jung Tae-sung actually looks at a Chinese filmmaker like Shen Xudong differently?

After chatting, I found out that it was because Shen Xudong became well-known in North America...

"The premise of "Human Eradication Project" is amazing!"

“… Where, just lucky, CJ still has the courage to directly invest in DreamWorks. ”

Oh, and the food they met at the Shilla Hotel was delicious, and the food wasn't Korean at all.

After talking for a while, Zheng Taicheng said intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that Shen Dong intends to stuff a few Asian faces in American movies?" ”

“… Yes, we need to show Hollywood the power of our Asians. ”

Shen Xudong's righteous words...

"That's... Has Shen Dong considered using some Korean actors? ”

Without waiting for Shen Xudong to speak, Zheng Taicheng continued: "You must know that many of the movies you shoot cannot be released in China. ”

Shen Xudong glanced at him...

Is this a threat or a request, and just as you were about to speak, Zheng Tae-sung continued: "Does Shen Dong have a favorite Korean film and television drama works or actors?" ”

Well, I think too much, people just want to do PR ...
