Chapter 146: Repercussions

"Judging from the transactions in Cannes this year, domestic martial arts have indeed ebbed, and many so-called blockbusters cannot sell overseas rights at all... I often go to the United States, and I have a general understanding of the American market, and there is still a market for Chinese films and action movies..."

"There is no implication... It's just a joke; ”

"Red Cliff... It's also a joke, could it be that Director Wu Yusen would really shoot Cao Cao going south for Xiao Qiao... I don't believe that an international director would be so ignorant! ”

Shen Xudong calmly responded to questions from the media and reporters.

Well, these media are not stupid, and it is obvious that Chen Daoming's role has a reference... Zhang Weiping's ingredients.

As for the easter egg part, it should be a ridicule of the Three Kingdoms theme to follow the trend...

"Oh, the last few lines were pondered by Uncle Ge and Uncle Dao Ming... I just said that the theme of the Three Kingdoms is very hot..."

"Uncle Daoming sometimes goes online to see what netizens say about his acting skills..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong added: "I remember that Uncle Ge saw the evaluation of Uncle Dao Ming's acting skills: When he was acting too upright, he laughed and broke the defense..."

"Uncle Ge was invited by Mr. Daoming... Including Director Huang, they were all recommended by Mr. Daoming..."

"Box office predictions... I think it should be over 100 million... After all, one of these two is a Cannes actor, and the other is a Venice actor, so it can be said that a national treasure-level actor..."

"When I was shooting... I went to the scene, and anyway, I knew that I couldn't go to "Kou Lao Xi'er" in front of them..."

Well, it was Shen Xudong who did it on purpose, "Kou Lao Xi'er", a TV series cooperated by Ge You and Chen Daoming, and a drama that forced Ge Youden to apologize...

……

"Haven't you read the script of "Red Cliff"?"

“… I'm not looking at the final version... However, when Wu Yusen came to me, he did say, 'Add more drama to Xiao Qiao'..."

At the end of the premiere, Shen Xudong was dragged by Feng Xiaogang and them, and they had to eat together.

It's true that we haven't gotten together for a while.

found a restaurant, ordered good food, and talked about "Blockbuster", Feng Xiaogang always felt that Shen Xudong was holding back, and he was even thinking about Chen Daoming's sentence in the movie, 'Change the plot of the devil, and change the reason why Cao Cao sent troops to Dongwu to want to get Xiao Qiao...' Maybe it's true!

Shen Xudong resolutely refuses to admit it...

After all, he really hasn't read the script of "Red Cliff".

To briefly introduce it, the movie "Red Cliff" has changed nine screenwriters before and after, but unfortunately, the first nine screenwriters did not even appear in the film credits!

Who is the screenwriter in the final movie?

In order, they are Wu Yusen himself, screenwriter Chen Khan, Taiwanese screenwriter Guo Zheng, and only one well-known mainland screenwriter Sheng Heyu...

- Sheng Heyu had just completed the script of "Night Banquet" before, and "Night Banquet" opened a precedent for the continuous laughter of Chinese costume blockbusters, so he is not suitable for writing this kind of script!

In fact, each of the first nine screenwriters is not bad, and there are even famous mainland screenwriters like Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive", but unfortunately even such a famous screenwriter is not worthy of having a name in this movie.

And what is the identity background of Chen Khan, who overwhelmed Sheng Heyu and Taiwanese screenwriters and even Lu Wei?

Champion of the Hong Kong Screenplay Competition.

In addition to "Red Cliff", his representative works also include "Dawu Tiandi Code", "Confucius", "Zhong Kui Fu Demon: Snow Demon Spirit"

Evaluation: Not as good as the author of the online article!

But in Wu Yusen's view, a famous artist like Lu Wei can't compare to the champion.

Shen Xudong continued: "When Wu Yusen came to me, he said a request: 'Give Xiao Qiao more dramas, and also told me that Lin Zhiling is very beautiful and can act...' But I think "Red Cliff" is a man's war... That's why I declined the invitation..."

Zhang Guoli pondered for a while, and then asked Cao Huayi next to him: "Add drama to Xiao Qiao?" How to add? ”

Cao Huayi also... Stuck and shook his head: "I don't know..."

They definitely don't know that in recent years, mainland film and television workers still have a sense of awe for famous novels, "Three Kingdoms", if you dare to fool around, you will be written into the pillar of shame in the future.

Feng Xiaogang interjected: "No matter how he adds... Anyway, "Red Cliff" has nothing to do with us..."

"It's still a bit related, a so-called first model with no works, come up and let a first-line actress of Zhao Yanzi's level match her, and Lin Zhiling will become a superstar in the mouth of the media in the future..."

Cao Huayi didn't really want to talk about "Red Cliff", so he changed the topic: "... Will your "The Fault in the Stars" be released in China? ”

"Of course, it will be released and made into batches... Preparing for November..."

"Already sold the rights?"

“… $200,000 sold to my own company..."

The number of films introduced each year is limited: 20!

The six major Hollywood parties have long since divided up the quotas, and "The Fault in the Stars" can only be made into batches of films, and it will be released on a cold schedule, no accident, it should be able to have a box office of more than 5 million, then it will make money!

After all, the low price of copyrights is pitiful...

Before "The Expendables" in 2010, the domestic copyright of the average overseas film was at most 5~100,000 US dollars, and even if it was a Hollywood movie, it would not exceed 300,000 US dollars...

Belong to a book of Wanli!

Cao Huayi has just established Xinli Media, and he has some ideas about the film market.

pondering the introduction of "The Mistake in Star Fortune", Shen Xudong ate meat, and he drank soup...

Shen Xudong doesn't care about the domestic income of "The Fault in the Stars", anyway, he is already preparing to produce "Send You a Little Red Flower", but Tianmei Media doesn't want to divide the soup!

"Don't talk about this, I heard that Jiang Wen has already gone to Venice?"

“… Isn't it yet open? ”

"It seems like I'm going to meet the filmmaker..."

The topic came to Jiang Wen again, as well as the upcoming Venice Film Festival...

……

A little surprised, these people didn't mention Shen Xudong's affairs in the United States, let alone say anything 'old driver, take me'...

The topic is mainly about trivial matters in the circle, and even mentioned this year's National Day file.

Shen Xudong was happy to be like this, saving him from wanting an excuse to refuse.

Just as they were eating, the first wave of word-of-mouth of "Blockbuster" had fermented - it would be released at two o'clock in the afternoon.

'Fun movies' is almost a unanimous adjective in the media.

By the way, there's also 'A Guide to Building a Real Blockbuster in the Film Circle...'

Netizens are more direct, 'a group of so-called film artists, under the banner of cultural export, are doing things like pit money and boning women...'

'Absolutely, as soon as this movie comes out, I see how those so-called big directors still make money! ’

'Easter eggs are so funny, especially when Ge You said in front of Chen Daoming, 'Chen Daoming's acting is too dignified', Chen Daoming's reaction..."

Unlike Shen Xudong, who has already gone to dinner, the publicity team of "Blockbuster" still has great box office expectations for "Blockbuster"!

They think that the bombardment of blockbusters in recent years, especially after the three consecutive releases of "Wuji", "Night Banquet" and "Golden Ru"...

Works with the theme of satirizing the creation of so-called blockbusters are by no means niche!

There are definitely a lot of viewers interested.

So, they've been staring at word-of-mouth, and of course they've done some rhythmic work - finding some influential public figures to post praises or something...

The word-of-mouth is indeed not bad, whether it is film critics or audiences, the evaluation of "Blockbuster" is very high.

Of course, after the movie is released, in addition to word of mouth, everyone is most concerned about the box office...

The first feedback is Golden Harvest's attendance rate: 80%...

Huang Bin of the propaganda department saw this data for the first time and couldn't believe it: "Are you sure? They didn't misreport? ”

“… Report to your own people, there is no need to make false reports, besides, even if you make false reports, you will report less! ”
