Chapter 92: Legendary Characters (I)
The first-day box office result of 18.6 million is a big surprise for the crew of "Painted Skin"!
Judging from the data, the first-day score of last year's "Vote for Fame" was about 10 million yuan, and the first-day score of "Spicy Hand Detective", which had just been released, was not 13 million...
"Painted Skin" received 18.6 million on the first day...
Even the propagandists of TiMi felt that the results were amazing.
According to the heads of major theaters, the 26th is a normal working day, which has always had a certain impact on the box office, but in this case, "Painted Skin" can still achieve such good box office results, which is very rare in domestic films.
The peak box office of "Painted Skin" should be later, not the first day - the holidays are coming soon.
From the National Day schedule of major theaters, it can be seen that during the eleventh day, "Painted Skin" almost occupied more than half of the screens, with a strong momentum and is expected to dominate the National Day files.
Well, so far, there has not been a single domestic movie that has exceeded 100 million yuan in the National Day file, so at the beginning, everyone's box office expectation for "Painted Skin" was only over 100 million...
But judging by the results of the first day...
Over 100 million, horror is not the end, judging from the current start of "Painted Skin", the box office can at least exceed 200 million!
In the original time and space, the rise of the National Day file started with "Painted Skin".
……
Although Shen Xudong doesn't have to follow the crew to run the roadshow, he still has to take the necessary publicity.
This time he was with Gao Fenfen.
Gao Fenfen's expectation for "Painted Skin" will also exceed 100 million at the box office...
After all, the cost is only 35 million...
is like this, the Hong Kong directors who went north to shoot are all quoted according to the group, Chen Jiashang quoted 15 million for "Painted Skin", and there is a one-stop behind the scenes...
Including art, modeling, motion design...
The follow-up expenses are just framing costs, actors' salaries, etc...
Gao Fenfen sighed a little: "I didn't expect Chen Jiashang to be quite talented!" ”
Shen Xudong nodded: "Chen Jiashang is an all-rounder... You can't imagine that he made his debut as a prop. ”
"Really?"
Of course, in the early 80s, "Star Wars" exploded, and Hong Kong films followed suit to make science fiction films, and Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was one of them.
Chen Jiashang was originally a production assistant for "Interstellar Blunt Tire", and one day, director Zhang Guoming saw him drawing airplanes on the set and exchanged several times, so he asked him to be responsible for drawing the sketches of the spaceship in the film.
"Later, Shaw Brothers took advantage of the stunt craze to set up a separate department and let Chen Jiashang be the supervisor, but as soon as the craze subsided, he was also left out in the cold."
Gao Fenfen was very interested: "There are still science fiction films in Hong Kong? ”
Shen Xudong is very familiar with Hong Kong movies, and did some popular science on the spot: Shaw Brothers has done several science fiction films "Chinese Superman", "Life and Death Struggle", "Orangutan King", and "Interstellar Blunt Fere"...
In particular, "Interstellar Blunt Tire" ended up with a dismal box office and went offline in three days. After such a toss, Shaw Brothers ended miserably in the creation of science fiction movies.
You could say it followed the trend, but it did try...
Xinyicheng later also did "The Invincible Maria" and "The Legend of Wesley", the reputation is not bad, and the box office results are reasonable, but unfortunately, later Hong Kong films prevailed in the film selling system, and there are stars who can make money, and science fiction movies are too complicated to shoot...
Moreover, Hong Kong people are guided by commercial films, and they are used to treating movies as a business, pursuing efficiency and seeking benefits, so they shoot more genres with high box office.
At the end, Shen Xudong added: "I heard that Wang Jing is filming "Future Tiaozi", and Chen Musheng seems to be interested in mutants..."
"Future strips?"
"Future Police..."
"Rubbing the popularity of "Iron Man"?"
"Maybe!"
Regarding "Future Police", I feel that Wang Jing wants to reproduce "Super School Bully", rubbing various elements of American films, and making a messy stew...
With his film experience, he must know that there are many problems with this "Future Police", but he thinks the audience will like it, so he just shoots it...
It's a pity that the audience didn't buy it!
was chatting, and the people from "Seeing the World" came.
……
Shen Xudong usually rarely accepts interviews, so far, except for "People", "Southern Weekly", "Sanlian Life Weekly", he will give face to receive an interview...
Because it's very... Bored.
In the age of the Internet, what you want to say can be conveyed directly through the blog, there is no need to sit in a regular manner, let people dig into your heart or something...
But... No way, publicity!
"Look at the World" has a lot of reading...
According to statistics, among the airport publications, one of the most popular magazines is "See the World" and the other is "Sanlian".
The full name of "See the World" is "Vista See the World", when Shen Xudong was at the airport, he was bored and bought a few times, focusing on entertainment, so to speak, the positioning of this magazine should be an advanced version of "Story Club" or "Bosom Friend", many of the things in it are fictional...
The current "Look at the World" is at least not entertaining, and later, Chen Jinsong is the main writer, most of his articles are about his life in the United States, especially his daughter, which has obvious class characteristics and a sense of superiority over his own class...
There are also many sections that have become bases for the promotion of women's boxing ideas...
It's getting boring!
I don't even bother to pretend it, the public knows that the smell is too pungent...
Besides, it's 2023, can I go online, what news do I don't know? I also need a magazine to guide me to "see the world?
Pull it back, the current chief writer is called Lin Chufang, and later became the vice president of Toutiao...
He is very curious about Shen Xudong, in fact, most people in the domestic media are very curious about Shen Xudong, an outsider with no foundation, broke into the showbiz with a talent, and then succeeded?
So, the first question: "Xudong, I'm particularly curious, how did TiMi develop to this point?" ”
"I started out doing shows, 'The Screening Room'... In cooperation with Phoenix Satellite TV, it was made by four people in our dormitory, but at that time, everyone was just a student, and they didn't know much about finance, and it just so happened that the cousin of the boss of our dormitory was finance... Then we'll ask her to help with it..."
Gao Fenfen nodded: "It's me, and at that time, didn't the capital encourage cultural innovation enterprises, and gave a lot of preferential treatment, so I let them set up a studio and help apply for tax refunds... This studio is TiMi Studio! ”
Shen Xudong continued: "Then, I began to take over the job of a TV series screenwriter... The first play is with the group "Dragon Babu", which feels very novel..."
"Except for novelty?"
"You let Sister Gao say it!"
Gao Fenfen smiled: "He has a very high spirit, and he doesn't like Zhang Jizhong's understanding of martial arts... But he was soft-spoken at the time, and he didn't dare to say anything... Later, I took over the adaptation of "The Peerless Twins", and it was almost completed, but the producer found Wang Jing... They were kicked straight out..."
"This incident confirmed his idea that he had to continue to be a producer, and then..."No. 1 in the world", he became a producer..."
When Lin Chufang heard this, he probably understood this mental journey and interrupted her: "What about the movie? ”
"The movie was suggested by Mr. Chen Daoming... It was also in the crew of "No. 1 in the World" that Mr. Chen Daoming suggested that I write a movie script, and then there was "Outstanding Citizen"..."
