Chapter 8 You don't even ask about the box office
Shen Xudong thought that the premiere: a group of media asked about the film, or asked about the unforgettable experience during filming...
He has thought about it and is ready to praise Donnie Yen's acting skills or something.
Reality: No one asks about the movie itself, all they ask is whether the Golden Lion Award for "The Grandmaster" has gone through the back door?
"Through the back door?"
"Zhang Weiping said, he said that you have a good relationship with the chairman of the jury..."
"," Shen Xudong shook his head: "First of all, I don't know Darren Aronofsky... Secondly, what else can Zhang Weiping do all day long except for Zhang Yi's hype?
Promote people like fools, and pay 600 million costs, just like the industry doesn't know the price code of Jos Williams' team, and invite Bell for $20 million... I've tried it a few times with Bell! I know his price clearly! ”
"Finally, I want to ask, does he mean that "The Sun Also Rises" did not win the award because Zhang Yimou had a bad relationship with Jiang Wen?"
Zhang Weiping came out to bring the topic...
The biggest topic recently is that Shen Xudong won the Golden Lion Award, and Zhang Weiping first expressed his disdain: "What is the Golden Lion Award, we will take the rest, as for such publicity, just like Fan Jinzhongju!" ”
Then he said: "Shen Xudong has a good relationship with those people in Hollywood, there must be something behind this, you can check it!" ”
It's quite normal, he has always thought that Yi Mou is in hand, I have it in the world, and anyone dares to scare him, let alone Shen Xudong, isn't Han Shanping also described by him as a mountain carving.
Now Shen Xudong has the biggest topic, Zhang Weiping rubbed a wave of topics for the purpose of promoting "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which is understandable... Fart!
The more Shen Xudong thought about it, the more angry he became: "I think an international director like Zhang Yimou needs a professional producer to help him take care of the movie, not an upstart who only knows how to run trains with his mouth full!" ”
"Are you saying Zhang Weiping is an upstart?"
"Without Zhang Yimou, he is a fart, and if Zhang Yi is on the list, people will call him Zhang Producer, without Zhang Yimou, who cares about him?"
"Will TiMi Media sign a contract with Zhang Yi?"
Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen, who answered: "Of course... Director Zhang is a mature director, who is very good at business, literature and art, and has his own stylized image expression... The most important thing is that his films rarely lose money, and they are basically profitable..."
Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I want to sign it...
After Ah Mou fell out with the investor, he could not make blockbusters such as "The City Full of Golden Armor" and "The Great Wall", but could make films with a low investment such as "The Hawthorn Tree" and "Return".
A small film company, or even a local rich man, can solve the need for filming funds...
Such a filmmaker is simply a favorite of investors!
Then the media asked about Tianmei Media's contact with Zhang Yimou...
Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed: Do you remember that this is the premiere scene of "The Grandmaster"?
Fortunately, he was not embarrassed for too long, after all, he was the central figure of today's premiere, and immediately the media handed the microphone, Shen Xudong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and pricked up his ears to listen to his question: "Xudong, have you counted the three years in the United States and had intimate contact with many girl actors?" ”
“… I..."
I'll go to your uncle's, will you ask questions?
Do you understand what propaganda is called?
……
Well, who made PPTV's "Keep Walking" very influential, Shen Xudong said a lot of secrets in order to show his affinity, and even admitted his experience of learning foreign languages...
Many netizens who watched "Keep Walking", including the media, have no interest in Shen Xudong's learning filmization and industrialization at all, they only remember 'learning foreign languages, learning French, German and English with a British accent!' ’
Shen Xudong also told the truth: Hollywood really has no shortage of human resources, and young actresses from all over the United States and even Europe who want to make a name for themselves in Hollywood want to become famous overnight...
A lot of boys and girls who have a good skin with a beautiful logo, have no culture, have no way out of college, and dream of stardom all day long.
But most of them are not irreplaceable.
So what to do?
The only thing you can rely on is the flesh!
It is equivalent to saying bluntly that he has indeed lived happily for three years!
Then, some good deeds went over the wall to collect information on overseas reports, and then found out nearly 20 international friends who had close contact with Shen Xudong!
All long legs, big bear girls!
Well, Shen Xudong's aesthetic is cheesy: long legs, good-looking, big waves...
Well, the aesthetic is the same all over the world – before political correctness prevailed, the word fair-skinned beauty was used exclusively to describe beautiful women.
But Shen Xudong's list includes almost all the post-85 Hollywood actresses who have been sexy in recent years...
That's too much!
even had scandals with three of the four Hollywood girls - Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively...
You're really shelling America!
It's good that there is no Kristen Stewart...
Otherwise, it will definitely affect the follow-up results of "Twilight", and Shen Xudong will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen!
……
At Shen Xudong's strong request, the media still asked about "The Grandmaster", and Shen Xudong thanked Donnie Yen very much: "After "Ip Man" became popular, Donnie Yen's salary rose to more than 20 million, usually speaking, one drama in three months, that is, he gave "The Grandmaster" eight months, enough for him to make three movies... I made 50 million less! ”
"The production cost of "The Grandmaster" is about 70 million, because I use the top behind-the-scenes lineup, Rodrigo Preto and Song Xiaofei are found for photography, and Yuan Baye is found for action design..."
“… Overseas copyrights sold well, North America sold for 8 million dollars, and in Europe, signed a sub-account distribution contract with MK2... Southeast Asia is handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution, South Korea... Continue to cooperate with Xijie, the copyright of Japanese benzene has not been sold... Toei wants to buy out, but we have some disagreements about the price..."
Speaking of this, Shen Xudong looked expectant, he was waiting for the media to ask about the box office prediction, and he was ready to answer the classic answer of '500 million is not less, one billion is not too much', and then the next media asked: "How do you watch fan movies?" ”
"Huh?"
""The Grandmaster" has a "Great Martial Arts" in the same schedule, focusing on Han Geng... The industry believes that Han Geng's popularity is above Yang Xiaomi, and "Da Wusheng" is likely to refresh a new box office high for fan movies! ”
Shen Xudong was speechless: "I'll sit and watch... What can I think? ”
How to watch fan movies?
How do you answer this thing?
After pondering for a while, he still said seriously: "Movies have commodity attributes, especially commercial films, the so-called commercial attributes are selling points, some sell stories, some sell feelings, some sell stunts, and some have to sell idols... Since it's a fan movie, I don't think the general audience should watch it, especially the critics, don't pay attention to it, and you are not its target audience, so as not to feel uncomfortable! ”
