In fact, the original version of "Painted Skin" has not been released in Europe and the United States.

Foreigners can't understand "Painted Skin"...

Shen Xudong also felt that "Painted Skin" was difficult to sell in Europe and the United States, but Xu Ke said, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been released well in European countries, and "Painted Skin" should also be available! I just brought it with me.

""Painted Skin" is the story of a man with a family, who meets the lover of his dreams, and how to choose!"

Shen Xudong briefly explained the core of "Painted Skin" to these filmmakers.

Eh, the current Chinese films are really hard to sell, especially in the European and American markets, after the martial arts blockbusters can't be sold, European and American filmmakers don't dare to pay high prices to win other genres...

To add insult to injury, the market performance of "The King of Kung Fu" almost hit the streets!

Of course, if in terms of input and output, "The King of Kung Fu" costs 50 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 100 million.

However, Cheng Long + Li linked, and the two kung fu superstars joined forces to win this box office, which is really a bit insufficient!

You must know that Lionsgate's expectation for "The King of Kung Fu" is more than 100 million in North America.

The North American box office is only $50 million...

This result is a slap in the face.

Coupled with the financial crisis, it will be difficult to have a Chinese film to be screened on a large scale in North America in the future.

The filmmakers decisively talked about the plight of Chinese films, Shen Xudong smiled and didn't refute, but Zhong Lifang talked to them...

"The style of "Hero", the audience may be tired of it, but "Painted Skin" is different, we are talking about love, this year is the Olympic year, the whole world is paying attention to China, the traditional love story of the East, I believe there will be many audiences interested!"

"What's more, the producer is still Shen Xudong! There are no movies produced by Xudong that are not blockbusters! ”

"But... The focus of attention is different between Eastern and Western audiences, you see..."

Speaking is Richard, the representative of Marcus Theater, the fifth largest theater chain in the United States, with 89 theaters and 895 screens...

They often show films in foreign languages and are regular visitors to Cannes.

However, it can be heard from his words: this product is very interested, but does not want to pay a high price...

It doesn't matter, as long as he is interested in buying, the price can be negotiated.

……

Chen Hao came to Cannes with the crew of "Exquisite Ancient City" to appear and promote the movie.

Prepared a three-minute film: Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi are preparing to open the coffin and rob the tomb, the rule of tomb robbery is to light the lights at the four corners, and when the lights are out, they must stop - people light candles, ghosts blow out the lights, and the rooster cries and the lights go out without touching the gold!

In the next second, a zongzi appeared, and the suspenseful atmosphere was full...

With Xu Ke's blessing, "Exquisite Ancient City" is very popular, but for Chen Hao, it is quite embarrassing, "Exquisite Ancient City" Cannes line, almost all of the people who took pictures were domestic reporters...

Let's take a look at the news releases sent to China: "Exquisite Ancient City" Cannes Xiaolu Zhengrong, "Ghost Blows the Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City" appeared in Cannes, and the Chinese-style tomb robbery series hit Hollywood... By the way, there is also "Exquisite Ancient City" at Cannes, Liu Ye, Jiang Wu, and Chen Hao amazed the audience!

It's embarrassing, obviously no one shoots me on the red carpet...

At the same time, Chen Hao was very envious of his senior sister Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi not only appeared on the red carpet, but also held a fundraising party in Cannes, which is said to have successfully raised $500,000...

Zhang Ziyi Fund was also established, and the first batch of capital injection of 1 million US dollars...

Although Chen Hao also donated 3 million, but... The portion size is not the same.

Your domestic donation is not the same as international fundraising, and the level of news is not the same!

Zhang Ziyi not only became the focus of Cannes, but also domestic reports emerged one after another: 'Zhang Ziyi raised nearly 7 million yuan for disaster relief in Cannes', 'Zhang Ziyi attended the event in plain clothes and raised funds for the disaster area again'...

There is also a report on "Zhang Ziyi: Philanthropist "Zhang Girl""...

Solidify the charity character!

Chen Hao is very envious that not every Chinese can do fundraising in Cannes.

You have to have weight, you have to be well-known, you have to have appeal.

However, Chen Hao is not unattended, she followed Gong Li and got to know a lot of people, not only producers but also some brands...

Shen Xudong saw Chen Hao following Gong Li at the cocktail party - Gong Li is also here, her "Shanghai" is going to be pre-sold overseas, "Shanghai" is the movie "Spy Sea", a big bad movie...

The second installment of Weinstein Pictures' plan of seven blockbusters in Asia...

Grateful for the failure of "Spy on the Sea", otherwise, Harvey will definitely continue to get involved in "Seven Samurai", the Shaw Brothers movie "Five Tiger Generals", "Thirteen Eagles in Cold Blood", "The Drunken Man"...

Pulling it back, Shen Xudong saw Chen Hao and Gong Li together...

It can be regarded as the inheritance of Chinese opera!

Seeing Shen Xudong coming over, Gong Li asked, "Are you done talking to them?" ”

“… Zhong Lifang was talking to them,"

"Is the overseas copyright of "Painted Skin" still going well?"

"It's ok... It is estimated that it can be sold, but it will suffer a loss in terms of price. ”

Gong Li just asked casually, she didn't know much about overseas copyright sales, glanced at Chen Hao, and then remembered something, and asked Shen Xudong: "By the way, I haven't asked you, why didn't Zhou Xun come?" ”

"Her agency said that there is no schedule, and she can't leave!"

“… Can't leave? Cannes can't leave? ”

Shen Xudong shrugged: "Maybe someone is really in trouble..."

"What's the matter..."

Gong Li was about to continue, when he suddenly shut up, Shen Xudong felt a little strange, and quickly followed her gaze... Well, Zhang Ziyi is here!

is still dressed in plain clothes, fortunately, she is measured, knowing that this is Tianmei movie night, not a fundraising scene, and she did not go to the main stage to make a fundraising declaration or anything.

She walked over, and Gong Li couldn't ignore it, so she asked, "How much money have you raised?" ”

"$500,000..."

"Keep it up!"

Shen Xudong suddenly asked, "Didn't your boyfriend donate money?" Didn't you say that he was worth $5 billion, and he just swiped it with his hand! ”

“… A lot of the donations were made by Vivi's good friends, and I don't have any friends here! ”

Shen Xudong didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "... Come on. ”

……

Hotel, Shen Xudong was really not in the mood to watch TV, so he simply went downstairs and opened the door, and ran into Chen Hao.

“… Who made you not look for me for almost a year! "Sister, I'm busy!"

"Busy spreading art in Hong Kong?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It was introduced by a friend, and I reluctantly accepted it, otherwise, if it spreads, my friend will not be a good person!" ”

Chen Hao rolled his eyes: "You are really understanding!" ”
