For Shen Xudong, the release of "The Fault in the Stars" was a hit, and the biggest benefit was that the original book sold out...

Directly to the top of the best-selling list.

Other than that...

Preparations for The Twilight Zone are progressing even more smoothly – the whole world is the same, chasing the winners!

Also, Kristen Stewart, Alexandra Daddario, Amber Heard sent various messages to congratulate...

By the way, it also vaguely expresses the need for artistic growth.

Well, it's not subtle at all, I just sent a photo of that kind ...

Shen Xudong specially guided Daddario, in addition to because Shen Xudong likes to prefer a larger canteen, the main girl has a pair of big eyes that are especially suitable for horror movies...

It just so happens that Wonderful Studio has a whole bunch of horror films to shoot.

Professional counterpart!

What "Escape Room", "After the Lights Out", "Puppet Contract", "A Quiet Place" just go up...

Oh, "A Quiet Place" is not very suitable, it is a family drama, let's change it to "Shark Beach"!

The cost is low anyway.

As for Kristen Stewart and Amber Heard... I'm sorry, Shen Xudong has already returned to China, and I don't have time to guide them...

——Compared with "The Fault in the Stars", he cares more about the performance of "Lao Qian"...

After all, his roots are at home.

The performance of "Lao Qian" in the second week... How to say it, it's a bit disappointing, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" has been weakened in various ways, but people just have audiences, and even Golden Harvest's theaters have to take out half of the screening hall to screen "Order of the Phoenix"...

As of August 19th, the box office of "Order of the Phoenix" exceeded 100 million, and the cumulative box office of "Lao Qian" was 142 million...

In other words, after the release of "Order of the Phoenix", "Lao Qian" only got a box office of 42 million...

Well, "Order of the Phoenix" broke 100 million in 9 days...

It doesn't seem to be as good as "Lao Qian", which has a total box office of 142 million!

But..."Order of the Phoenix" is "Lao Qian" against unfair competitive conditions - the latter was released for 6 days first, which is equal to a 1000-meter race, and ran 500 meters first...

Shen Xudong already has an expectation of this situation - at this stage, Hollywood blockbusters have more cards than mainland movies.

You let Shen Xudong choose for himself, 40 yuan for a movie ticket, his first choice is also "Order of the Phoenix" instead of "Lao Qian"...

But he was still very angry, so he asked Huang Bin directly: "What happened?" ”

"The number of screens is 4,000, "Order of the Phoenix" took more than half, and the schedule of "Lao Qian" was cut by more than half! The film schedule has been cut, and it is strange that the box office can be good, plus piracy is rampant..."

"Piracy is spreading again?"

"Hmm... Baidu has blocked keywords, but as long as you search for 'Lao Qian'... Flip back, and you can still see the pirated information! ”

“… Ma Dan, can't you shield it anymore? ”

"They said that the technology can't be controlled, so they can't block the word 'Lao Qian', right?"

Shen Xudong sighed: "What do you say above?" ”

"Crack down on piracy..."

"Crack down on piracy, you know what you say..."Shen Xudong was a little dissatisfied.

But he has no choice - "Lao Qian" is estimated to stop at around 150 million, on the one hand, the movie-watching boom period has dissipated, and on the other hand, "Blockbuster" will be released tomorrow.

……

The news of Shen Xudong's return to China is not kept secret - everyone knows that he will definitely return to China, because the Huabiao Award will be held on August 23, and he will definitely participate...

Many media, entertainment records, including TV stations, want to interview him - he has become famous in the United States again!

Shen Xudong picked Sina Entertainment this time - it can be regarded as a return, Sina Entertainment is the exclusive cooperation platform of TiMi Media, and the news of general movies, including "Life Events", "Lao Qian", and "Blockbuster", is spread through Sina...

Sina first asked about the situation of "Rush Hour 3":

"The "Rush Hour" series is an action movie, and according to the genre, the market video revenue of action movies is higher than the box office revenue, and "The Fault in the Stars" is different... Box office revenue is estimated to account for more than 50% of total revenue! ”

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong smiled: "I see that some people on the Internet say that Li Lian's box office is very low, and he will never get a salary of 10 million US dollars, they don't know that Li Lianlian's video tape income is higher than the box office income, for example, the North American video revenue of "Deadly Romeo" is as high as 120 million US dollars, setting a record for the highest revenue of B-grade action movie videotapes..."

"On the one hand, I felt that there was a market for "The Fault in the Stars", and on the other hand... Just to sell books! ”

"Selling books?"

"This is my first book in English, and after it was made into a movie, it has only been released for three days, and I have already been contacted by publishers from more than a dozen countries to publish it... Therefore, movies are the best communication tools! ”

“… You didn't make the list of the new writers' rich list? ”

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "... I told them not to drain my income. ”

In last year's Writers Rich List, that is, the first Chinese Writers Rich List, Shen Xudong won the first place with 28 million without suspense... The second place is Yu Qiuyu's 14 million...

"Why?"

"Because it's not fair... My income is too high! ”

"We only compare royalties..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "My first royalty for "The Fault in the Stars" is close to 3 million US dollars, how much is it converted into RMB? Moreover, according to my publisher's prediction, the final sales of "The Fault in the Stars" will definitely exceed 10 million in the world, and the royalty income will be high..."

Not in the same dimension, there is nothing to compare!

"Then "The Fault in the Stars" was a box office hit, what is your biggest impression?"

"Breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Relieved?"

“… I set up an investment fund for the filming of "Human Eradication Project", "Juno", and "The Fault in the Stars", and I have succeeded in three consecutive films, and I finally have the money to pay off the debt! ”

……

"What's there to be frustrated about, the overseas box office of "Lao Qian" is close to $26 million, and South Korea alone took $13 million... The Asian box office has exceeded 50 million US dollars! ”

In the car, Shen Xudong comforted Gao Fenfen, and the two of them supported the premiere of "Blockbuster" together.

Gao Fenfen sighed: "But the domestic income has not reached the target!" ”

Shen Xudong smiled: "Then what can I do?" Harry Potter is too fierce... The world's $900 million is not a level of stuff at all! ”

“… I've heard that "Order of the Phoenix" didn't do as well as its predecessor at the North American box office... There has also been a decline in word of mouth..."

"No matter how it declines, people are also "Harry Potter", and the fans are here!"

“… Why are you so calm..."Gao Fenfen just finished asking this question, and immediately thought of something: "Oh, "The Fault in the Stars" is a big hit..."

"It's not a big sale, after all, it costs $47 million!"

Gao Fenfen rolled her eyes: "Don't talk to me, you treat me as a fool?" A pure drama film, the actors are not very famous, you would spend more than $20 million on such a film? ”

“… That's not a lot of money, and Lionsgate makes all the money..."

Shen Xudong will not tell his true income in the United States.

After all, wealth is moving...

What's more, he really made a lot of money - he has already sold the overseas distribution rights to Fox for $68 million...

This alone has recorded more than $40 million!
