"Don't think that "Ghost Record" is a big hit in the United States, even if I enter the North American market, horror films are not mainstream genre films, Hollywood is based on the film industry, and it is a popular blockbuster in the world!"

"The media in the United States didn't report much on the relationship between "Ghost Record" and me..."

"What else do you want to ask?"

After briefly answering the questions related to "Ghost Shadow", Shen Xudong wanted to change the topic.

A bespectacled entertainer raised his hand: "Before I came, I checked your studio in North America... Seems to be called Marvelous Studios? ”

"Yes!"

"There are still two films this year, "Happy Death Day" and "Human Removal Plan 2"?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, it's all horror genres..."Happy Death Day" belongs to campus comedy + horror, we have bought out the domestic copyright, and it should be able to be released in batches!" ”

"What about Hurricane Rescue 2?"

"That's the cooperation between Golden Harvest and New Line... I only knew that it would be released on October 12th, and I don't know exactly what it would be..."

"Hurricane Rescue 2" will be released on October 12, the same schedule as "Human Removal Project 2"...

But the audience of these two films is different, so it's not purely competitive!

Oh, on the mainland, "Hurricane Rescue 2" will also be released on October 12th...

The first part of "Hurricane Rescue", Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, and Zhang Jing, the mainland box office is only 42 million;

The second part also lacks Donnie Yen, and it is estimated that it will be at the level of 30 million at most.

Pure action movies, or watch action stars, if you are starring Li Lian or Cheng Long, you can break 100 million, but... Wu Jing at this stage does not have such a broad popularity!

What's more, a lot of bloody scenes have also been deleted.

Speaking of this, Chen Xi interjected: "Let's talk about "Rise to Fame"! ”

The on-site entertainment Ji raised his hand very cooperatively, and when Shen Xudong took the roll call, a woman immediately said: "... I watched the trailer for "Rise to Fame", was it a satire on film censorship? ”

“… No, this story is actually quite real, when we had a creative meeting, we did think about a lot of things, and we also filmed it... We're mostly self-deprecating..."

"Self-deprecation?"

“… When the movie comes out, you'll know what I'm laughing at... Still have questions? ”

"Why do you want to be a director?"

"Because this scene is easy to shoot! The actors gathered, chose a villa, and there were no scene changes..."After a pause, Shen Xudong continued in an affirmative tone: "Moreover, this film will definitely be successful!" I don't want my first movie to have a bad box office and word-of-mouth! ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"The leading actors of this movie all read the script and then joined, and the remuneration is also a friendship price, don't you believe me, don't you believe the vision of their gang?"

"Jiang Wen also starred?"

"Hmm..."

"I heard that Jiang Wen is a drama bully..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, Teacher Jiang Wen is only responsible for the work... First of all, no actor will be idle and have nothing to do to toss other people's scripts, artistic creation is to have their own persistence, secondly, why should I be an investor and producer, I just don't want anyone to change my play, so from this point of view, am I also a drama bully? ”

"You media, you have some names at every turn, what are the four major drama tyrants and actors who are not easy to cooperate, you don't look at why they are not good to cooperate, if you are professional enough, you will feel that everyone is very good to cooperate..."

This topic made the entertainment on the scene a little embarrassing...

Changing the subject: "Then have you watched "The Sun Also Rises"? ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "... I've seen it! ”

"And how do you feel?"

"A very good movie... In fact, Jiang Wen's movies need to be savored, I also read the reviews, many people say they can't understand it, but this thing will also change with the change, he may be too young to find "The Sun" really good! In fact, there are many people who just listen to what others say, and he doesn't read it at all, so when he sees it and understands it, he will definitely sigh 'Jiang Wen is right about me!' ’”

……

Well, in addition to the big hit of "Ghost Shadow", the recent media is spraying "The Sun Also Rises" - not spraying movies, but spraying theaters, and the theaters under the New Film Association actually typed 'You can't understand "The Sun", you can watch it again! 'The flag... Trying to attract the audience...

Who cares about you?

The mainstream audience at this stage is no longer the audience of "Sunny Days", they have no worship of Jiang Wen...

On the contrary, the contradiction between the crew of "The Barber" and Jiang Wen reported last year made many viewers disgusted with Jiang Wen!

In the era of celebrity entertainment, no one should hold it!

Actually use this method to attract the audience?

Of course, Jiang Wen's attitude is very friendly, 'Through these controversies, I probably know what the current audience is like, richer than I imagined, very high, very naïve and very naïve, very twisted, all very extreme, very wide. ’

Well, no direct scolding ...

Later, when "One Step Away" was released, Jiang Wen recovered his 'domineering' "Why can France produce so many artists?" Because they have that enough audience to understand. Some viewers in China have no shame in saying that I can't understand Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises". ’

And 'because I can't understand it, the box office of the movie is not good, only we dare to talk like this.' I don't understand why people nowadays feel sorry for capitalists, why don't they feel sorry for artists? ’

Mainly... There are too many directors who cheat on others, and they cheat other people's money under the banner of artists...

Shen Xudong really thinks "The Sun Also Rises" is very interesting, the dreamy plot is very enjoyable...

Although he doesn't know what this movie is about!

But..."The Sun" will not be a box office hit because of Shen Xudong's praise, after all, Feng Xiaogang also boasted that he was the biggest competitor in making commercial films'...

Did it work?

There's an egg!

The box office of "The Sun" in the first three days of the weekend was 6.8 million, and I didn't even do "Embroidered Spring Knife"...

Well, in the third weekend of the release of "Embroidered Spring Knife", it also won 8.8 million box office!

The cumulative box office reached 87 million...

……

At Shen Xudong's house, Zhao Linhai and Chang Xiaoxiang came over as guests.

Naturally, I asked about the situation of "Ghost Shadow Record", Zhao Linhai... After watching "Ghost Shadow", I have no feeling for this film, and I really can't imagine that such a shoddy bad movie can be a global hit...

He thinks, 'Compared to the supernatural things in rural China, they are much more terrifying...'

“… At my grandmother's house, there is a huge ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, and several people can only hug it hand in hand. Opposite the ginkgo tree is the cemetery, I don't know what age it began, it became a mass grave, all those who died early or died abnormally were buried there, there was no tombstone, so they hastily dug a pit on the spot and buried it. Between the ginkgo trees and the mass graves is a dirt road. All those who leave the village have to walk through this road. The village is surrounded by water on three sides and near the river on one side. There is only one such dirt road leading to the outside world..."

"And then?"

"No, then... I listened to some supernatural legends, and I went back to Changchun when I was 7 years old... I just don't understand what's scary about "Ghost Shadows"? ”

Shen Xudong... I don't like "Ghost Shadow" either, so he only provided an idea for this play, he didn't even write the script, and the actors were not specified...

Jason Bren chose a British actress named Janet Montegory, who is not famous, but very good-looking...

Mostly cheaper!

Although Shen Xudong doesn't know why "Ghost Shadow" can be a big hit, he can find a reason: "American audiences are similar to Chinese audiences, they all rely on publicity, and for the promotion of "Ghost Shadow", we found a bunch of celebrities... In addition, this idea is really good, and more and more people are watching it..."

"It's not... I can't even see the heroine's face clearly..."

"Deliberately, handheld DV photography to make the audience feel immersive!"
