Chapter 81: Reverse Growth?
At the beginning, Shen Xudong was a fledgling and conquered Gong Li with his talent and physical strength...
Well, it's hard to say whether to conquer or not, at least that's what he himself thinks!
In short, after taking Gong Li, "Party A and Party B 2", "No Thieves in the World", including "Mobile Phone 2", he can successfully intervene in the investment...
Otherwise, at most, he is just a screenwriter!
TiMi Media also successfully entered the circle.
Of course, Shen Xudong is indeed very powerful, "Carol" sent Gong Li to the Oscar nomination list in one fell swoop!
Became the first Asian actress in film history to be nominated for an Oscar.
Gong Li is in full swing.
Later, she also starred in "Lao Qian" and "Becoming Famous"...
The remuneration is very low, especially "Rise to Fame", which belongs to friendship and only receives less than 2 million yuan.
Therefore, Shen Xudong wants to thank her and has been thinking about a weighty work.
To be exact, a weighty female character!
So, during that time, Shen Xudong studied Zhang Ailing, and he thought about "The First Incense" and asked her to play Mrs. Liang, and then changed the script to a work from Mrs. Liang's perspective, but... It's hard to change.
Zhang Ailing's works are easy to shoot, but hard to shoot well.
Forget it, Shen Xudong didn't prepare for the time being, so he simply used "Blood Guanyin"...
"Blood Guanyin" is a very bold work, reflecting the power-for-money transaction of political and business collusion, as well as the dirty methods of the Tang family's wife.
We often say: Tiger poison does not eat children. However, "Blood Guanyin" really makes you feel the resentment of cannibalism, and moreover, in the name of love.
The so-called mother-daughter relationship is nothing more than an evil excuse. Under the words "I am for your good", there is the greatest betrayal and self-hypnosis.
Her mother, Mrs. Tang, was an antique dealer and the widow of a high-ranking Burmese military officer. With her special identity, she is at all levels of government and business, as a broker of interests, she matches high-ranking officials to buy land with loans, and she is even more two-sided, empty-handed.
Use her daughter's body to find a protective umbrella for her murderous crimes...
Of course, the ending is not friendly!
In fact, it is a political fantasy film, with political and business collusion and conspiracy, and the whole story is full of absurdity in the end, and in the end, there is almost no good person left in the pure sense...
Shen Xudong likes this movie very much, and more importantly, Gong Li also likes it...
It's good to end the cooperation between the two with such a movie!
……
"I never thought it would be released in the mainland from the beginning..."Shen Xudong said seriously: "There are some movies that will be boring if the large-scale shots are deleted!" ”
“… Okay, but the cost of this drama is as high as 60 million, so it's not easy to get it! ”
"It's okay," Shen Xudong waved his hand: "This film is used for awards, you don't need to consider the market, the producer is Golden Harvest..."
In the movie starring Gong Li, it is still very easy to attract investment~
"Playing her daughter..."
"You go and ask Fan Bingbing if he has any ideas... If she wanted to, it would be so much easier! ”
“… Okay, I'll ask..."
"Both of them are Shandong women!"
Chen Xi then asked, "What about Tang Zhen... She's hard to find! ”
Tang Zhen has the drama of "Blood Guanyin", and the whole "Blood Guanyin" is actually Tang Zhen's growth process, from a little girl who was still a girl with a girlish girl at the beginning to a cold and selfish woman like Mrs. Tang!
In terms of age, 15 years old...
It's hard!
The original time and space was Wen Qi starring...
That's why Wen Qi is called a natural actor!
Shen Xudong didn't have a good candidate, so he could only answer: "Choose slowly, you will always find the right one, by the way, I asked you to contact Director Xu Anhua, have you found it?" ”
“… She's very interested, but she's filming "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai"..."
"Then wait for her to finish filming "Night and Fog"... By the way, you asked Zhong Lifang to arrange a few actresses to come to the capital and let them make a cameo appearance in "33 Days of Broken Love", which can be regarded as brushing their faces..."
"Good~"
……
Shen Xudong is busy with the preparations for "33 Days of Broken Love", and in the film market, "Spicy Detective" finally got rid of the biggest opponent - the Olympics.
Cheng Long also turned on the propaganda mode.
Oh, "Spicy Hand Detective" has achieved quite good overseas results, in the first five days, the Hong Kong box office reported more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan, Southeast Asia plus more than 8 million US dollars...
The Middle East, West Asia, and Europe have also been released, and I heard that the box office is good, but these places have already sold the copyrights, and the box office has no impact on Shen Xudong.
It is worth mentioning that after the release of "Hot Hand Detective" in South Korea, the number of moviegoers exceeded 370,000 in the first three days...
Judging from word-of-mouth and market feedback, it is very likely to set a new high at the Korean box office of Jackie Chan's movie - Jackie Chan's "Drunken Fist" was released in South Korea for half a year, and the number of moviegoers was close to 900,000...
Oh, the year "Drunken Fist" was released, the total number of moviegoers in South Korea in a year did not exceed 3 million...
After Chenglong started the publicity, the theater chain increased the film schedule.
In fact, the theater chain has little to do with Cheng Long, and the box office performance of "The Incredible Hulk" is unsatisfactory...
To tell the truth, "Hulk" is not a big IP in China.
If it weren't for liamide, many people might not even know what the 'Hulk' is...
- Li Amine once directed "The Incredible Hulk", but the word-of-mouth and box office failed miserably...
Then he filmed "Brokeback Mountain" and eased up.
Pulled back, when Cheng Long was promoting, he mentioned Shen Xudong in various ways.
It's also normal, the play "Spicy Hand Detective" itself was strongly invited by Shen Xudong and Cheng Long starred in it...
Originally, it was not in Cheng Long's movie plan, and Cheng Long has been busy transforming in recent years.
Sun Dasheng in "Hot Hand Detective" was completely designed according to Chen Jiaju, and playing such a role did not help his transformation at all!
Of course, now that the box office is a hit, he is also very happy.
"The next "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has been filmed... I've always wanted to cooperate with Director Xu Ke, and this time it's a wish..."
"After that, I'll do "Shinjuku Incident"... Director Er Dongsheng..."
"Xudong doesn't seem to be involved in this play."
"He said he didn't like me to act like this..."
Well, in fact, Shen Xudong doesn't want to lose money...
"Shinjuku Incident" can be described as a box office fiasco!
After the loss of Er Dongsheng, he supervised the production of "Eavesdropping", and he didn't dare to add any action scenes, and Cheng Long, who lost money, hurriedly made "Zodiac" to return to blood...
As for the quality...
To be honest, there are many smuggler movies, "Yellow Sea", "Sea Fog" and even "Mong Kok Night", which are not worse than "Shinjuku Incident"...
If it weren't for Cheng Long starring, "Shinjuku Incident" would only be good!
Pull it back, with the end of the Olympic Games, the film market gradually returned to normal, on August 25, the market closed at more than 15 million, on August 26, the market rose to 16 million, on August 27 it even rose to 18 million, and on August 28 it fell back to 17.2 million...
In fact, it is the pulling effect of "Spicy Detective" - "Spicy Detective" accounts for about 70% of the total market, and after four working days, "Spicy Detective" reported 46.8 million, ten days after its release, with a cumulative box office of over 100 million, and judging from word-of-mouth and market feedback, the end point of "Spicy Detective" is definitely more than 150 million - the original theater gave a box office forecast of 150 million.
The second week saw an inverse growth...
Sure enough, it received more than 58 million in three days the next weekend, and after 13 days of release, the box office exceeded 160 million!
