Chapter 64: Never Give Up
Quitting the circle?
Chen Hao was surprised and asked, "What circle do I retreat?" ”
Shen Xudong was puzzled: "... Aren't you going to be a teacher in Chinese opera? ”
“… Just a plan..."
"Don't you want to be like Zhang Tielin and Xu Jinglei?"
Chen Hao shook his head: "... I'm either not going to do it, and if I do, I'm definitely going to put my heart and soul into it! ”
Zhang Tielin is the dean of the School of Arts of Jinan University.
Of course, since taking over the position of dean, Zhang Tielin has not lectured in school a few times, and more often he still shows his face in activities to play a role in publicity...
Xu Jinglei is also a teacher at Nortel...
I didn't hear that she taught at school.
“… Besides, if I just wanted to be a teacher, I wouldn't have gone to graduate school, and I would just ask the dean for an external certificate! ”
Shen Xudong nodded; "Then I wish you success!"
“… I go to teach doesn't mean I'm out of the circle, remember to tell me if there is a suitable script! ”
"Our relationship... A must! ”
Chen Hao glanced at him, and then said, "There is one more thing..."
"What's the matter, you say..."
"I want a baby!"
"What's the matter, you want to freeze your eggs?" Shen Xudong replied very casually, Chen Hao didn't speak, stared at him, Xudong suddenly realized something, and shook his head decisively: "No..."
"Why not?"
"I didn't want to get married!"
"I didn't think about it... But I have to have a baby. ”
Shen Xudong: "That's not good, if I have a child, I must be above board!" ”
Make a child, is that still entertainment? Isn't that a daddy article?
……
Chen Hao stayed in Bangkok for five days and then went home for the Chinese New Year.
Shen Xudong did not agree to her request...
How to say, it's not that he is reluctant to sprout his art, but... Knowing that it is impossible for him to form a family with his senior sister, it is better not to affect her.
Senpai is 34 years old, a bunch of suitors!
After his persuasion, the senior sister also figured it out, otherwise, Shen Xudong would not dare to shoot straight at the goal...
Chen Hao left, and "Tang Detective" continued filming.
Shen Xudong is very busy every day - after all, the crew of hundreds of people, this movie does not have many special effects, it all depends on photography and lighting...
Then he must be a conductor or participate as a director...
Even though it is already very busy, the situation about the mainland film market is still coming in a steady stream...
It is nothing more than "Sherlock Holmes: Shadow Game", "Mission Impossible 4", and "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island" to dominate the market one after another.
"I Do" released by TiMi was first squeezed by "Mission Impossible 4", and then suppressed by "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island", and the box office stopped at 90 million...
Valentine's Day file release...
Of course, this achievement is already very good in the field of domestic films, 10 million more than the star-studded "Love"!
The company is glad that it did not go to another part - "When Men Are in Love"...
Compared with "I Do", "When a Man Falls in Love" is a movie produced by the company, "I Do" is jointly created by the company and Forbidden City Pictures, starring Huang Xiaoming + Nie Yuan, the heroine uses Zeng Li, and the director is Sun Zhou.
Withdrawn for a month. That is "When a Man Falls in Love" in March, the problem is that the March schedule is cold...
The idea of the company is to take a back month...
But in April, there were "Titanic 3D", "Super Battleship", "Fury of the Gods"...
Shen Xudong definitely doesn't want to fight with "Titanic 3D"!
You must know that the current movie-watching group is the post-85s and post-90s, and "Titanic" is the first Hollywood blockbuster that many people know, and the emotional value is here.
What's more, the theater chain is on the side of Hollywood blockbusters...
-- The proportion of revenue sharing of all parties involved in the import of blockbuster films is 35% for producers, 17% for distributors, and 48% for projectors.
Of course, China has its own national conditions.
China Film Company can get about 15.5% of the box office of imported films, and after deducting 5% of the special fund for films and 3.3% of taxes, the producer, that is, the corporate account share of Hollywood blockbusters, is 25%.
The proportion of cinema account sharing is the same as that of Chinese films...
That's right, compete under the same level!
Therefore, theaters like enlarged films, films with stars or famous directors, because the audience has a lot of traffic and benefits!
pulled back, Shen Xudong directly asked "When a Man Falls in Love" to be released in early March.
Can't beat "Titanic", can you still beat "Alien Battlefield"?
……
"Thirteen Hairpins" was screened in Berlin, and the reputation was not very good.
Many foreign media claimed: 'We can't feel the convincing power of historical facts from the movies!' ’
What the German media said: '"Thirteen Chai" only expresses the story from the perspective of Chinese, which is somewhat one-sided and does not contain more views and angles, which makes people uncomfortable in the process of watching the movie. ’
It is estimated that Zhang Yi is quite depressed, I have told the story from Bell's perspective, how can it still be from the perspective of Chinese?
Again, the world knows very well about the Jewish Holocaust during World War II, but very little about the Nanjing Massacre.
Because China is a weak country and has been on the periphery of the world for a long time, many times, no one cares about the history of a weak country!
It's as if a lot of Chinese don't care about Auschwitz ...
Moreover, Westerners can clearly distinguish where China and Japan are on the world map, and they are already above the average score.
Counting on them to speak up?
As for the copyright trading that Shen Xudong is most concerned about, Chen Xi on the other end of the phone said: "The sales are not very good, not even as good as "Xia Lan" and "Green Forest Adventure"..."
"Listen to them, I'm not very optimistic about "Thirteen Hairpins"..."
""Xia Lan" sold in 105 countries, and "Green Forest Adventure" also sold 106 copies..."
"Our prices are low! How much does Disney cost to make an animation, from as little as 100 million to as much as 200 million or 300 million US dollars, if the Eastern European market or France wants to buy "Kung Fu Panda", it is not only expensive, but also has to be divided among others. But for our film, they can buy the copyright for $100,000, so why not? And there are no cultural discounts for cartoons, they are all suitable for young audiences, and they are especially easy to sell. ”
"Director Zhang... It seems to be quite calm. ”
Shen Xudong roughly understood: "Okay, then you go and get busy..."
"Xudong... Zhang Weiping came out..."
"Who?" Shen Xudong didn't react, Zhang Weiping, Weiping Bryant, the basketball commentator...
"Zhang Weiping of the new picture!"
"Come out, he didn't sign a contract with director Zhang Yi..."
Chen Xi whispered: "I'm worried that he will break the news about Director Zhang!" ”
“… What's there to worry about with this thing? Did you pay the fine? ”
"Handed over..."
Shen Xudong didn't understand very well, what was there to worry about about this thing: "That's fine, Director Zhang is not a big star, and having children out of wedlock does not affect the personality..."
Chen Xi explained: "We discussed with the public relations team and decided that we would break the news..."
"So let's talk... By the way, to put it mildly..."
"Miserable? How miserable? ”
"Eldest sister, there are a lot of supernates in the circle, which one is not done properly, minorities, Hong Kong cadastre, American... There are many methods, why didn't Director Zhang do it? Guide this matter to Zhang Weiping's head, and by the way, praise Zhang Dao for being patriotic and unwilling to emigrate... Public opinion is something to be guided! ”
“… One more thing. ”
"You say!"
"Zhou Dongyu, are you going to vigorously cultivate?"
“… I told you, I don't care about the artist's agent! ”
"I mean, if you don't want to cultivate vigorously, I'll transfer her out, so as not to delay!"
"Someone asked you for her?"
Chen Xi nodded: "Yes, Du Yang..."
Shen Xudong thought for a while: "Okay, you can go out, by the way, Dou Xiao will leave it for me, I am quite optimistic about him." ”
