company, Shen Xudong pointed to the article on the computer and asked Chen Xi: "The sailor you are looking for is too bad, just these few things back and forth!" ”

“… I'll see..."

Well, it's Shen Xudong and Chen Daoming again...

Many of the sentences in it are the content of Shen Xudong's "Collected Records 2", for example, 'I feel that Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen and Tian Zhuangzhuang are all the same kind of people, very direct, emotional, happy or unhappy are all written on their faces, their goal is very simple, is to make a good movie!

But the good show is not that the two lips come out as soon as they touch. It has to ask for money, it has to ask for people, it has to be censored...

After seven trials and eight trials, the good show has become mediocre!

After the marketization of film and television dramas, it is more difficult to do a good job in the West, you have to find investors, distributors, and you have to run around the country to do publicity.

These are inevitable, since you want to film, you have to accept them all, so it creates a very strange external form: anger. Therefore, Chen Daoming is not very willing to deal with the media, he will shoot if he has a good script, and deal with the media when he is publicizing, if there is no good script, he will not shoot! ’

Every time he saw me, he had to ask, 'Is there a good script?'" ’

'"Fame" was forced out... I finished watching "The Wind" at the time, and I wanted to drum up a spy war movie, but I didn't have enough ability, so I added a work creation talk...'

“… It's not what I'm looking for... It should be that the self-media cut a few paragraphs by themselves, and then play..."

"Oh..."

Shen Xudong probably understood, just like the relationship between Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo, at the beginning of each paragraph, it was 'look up and see the Big Dipper.' This sentence is actually in "I Dedicate My Youth to You"...

Chen Xi continued: "The box office of "Men in Black 3" in the first week and 3 days was 150 million, what do you think? ”

"...What was the box office of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" yesterday?"

"1.74 million..."

"Damn..."

It's going down too fast...

It is estimated that it is unlikely to break 400 million.

There's no way, as soon as a Hollywood blockbuster is released, the audience doesn't watch domestic movies at all - this is called a dominant effect of commercial films, also known as the head effect!

In order to protect cultural diversity, the French government stipulates that no more than one-third of the number of films in any one cinema can be scheduled...

But this model is difficult to transplant to China!

Most theaters in China adopt a real estate economic model, and operating costs, properties, and rents are all practical problems that theater managers have to face every day.

Theaters are about making quick money and recouping their costs...

Shen Xudong also has no solution - the golden field of Golden Harvest Cinema Line is basically given to "Men in Black 3"...

Shen Xudong looked at the computer for a while, and then noticed that Chen Xi was standing in place... He raised an eyebrow: "Something?" ”

Chen Xi asked: "... Should we invest in a few Hollywood blockbusters? ”

“… Do you have an idea? ”

"New Plains invested $10 million in "Cloud Atlas", and "Ring Messenger" and "Iron Man 3" participated in the investment of DMG Entertainment Media... I've heard..."

Shen Xudong interrupted her: "You don't have to hear, these films will not get the co-production index, at most they will be counted as batches!" ”

Chen Xi's meaning is to invest in a few Hollywood blockbusters, install a few Chinese actors, and then make a co-production!

How can it be so simple?

And it can't be made into a co-production, even if it can be made, it is difficult to make a co-production!

If it's really that simple, the Sino-US co-production will not be the only one "Megalodon" that can make a profit...

"The Great Wall" spent so much effort, but it didn't make a profit!

Chen Xi was puzzled: "... How do you know? ”

“… This is a Sino-US co-production, not a Hong Kong-mainland co-production, it is impossible for people to take advantage of loopholes, and..."Shen Xudong said honestly: "The Film Bureau is very dissatisfied with the application for co-production of these films, and is ready to set a model!" ”

Chen Xi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I think so, you have a way in Hollywood... It's completely possible to come forward and form an investment platter..."

“… How can I have such a big face? ”

"Why don't you have it, you are the first person in Chinese films!"

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, but still shook his head: "The six major Hollywood ones are not simple, eating people without spitting out bones, "Harry Potter" can make a book loss... I don't want to work with them! ”

"Aren't we working with Warner?"

“… That thing has two or three movies a year, and it's all my own bureau..."

"I heard Hollywood has an investment platter?"

“… What's the point? Let's just make our own movies honestly! ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "The market believes in Hollywood!" ”

Well, the market does believe in Hollywood...

Or the investment institutions believe that the DMG Entertainment Media mentioned by Chen Xi just now is considered to have something to do with Hollywood because of its participation in "Iron Man 3", and then various PPT film lists have hyped the market value of DMG Entertainment Media to 50 billion!

Kemei Pictures is similar, relying on its relationship with the French Europa Pictures (Luc Besson's company), it has also achieved a market value of 40 billion!

After cooking oil in a blazing fire, after the extreme glory, only chicken feathers remained.

But... What Chen Xi said makes sense, at this stage, whether it is mainland shareholders or investment institutions, there is a kind of blind trust in foreign film history companies!

Shen Xudong thought for a while and said, "In this way, I'll raise $500 million first and invest in a few movies to see how it goes..."

"Only half a billion dollars? Then our company can solve it by itself! ”

“… 500 million dollars is a lot! Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "According to $20 million per share, that's ten movies... Do your own math, how many movies can Hollywood make money in a year? ”

“… So what movies are you going to invest in? ”

"Illumination Entertainment signed a ten-film contract with me, and I added another $200 million to expand the share to about 30%, in addition, there are some people within Universal who have been wanting to reboot "Jurassic Park", but everyone is not optimistic about it, I can increase the size and invest half... DreamWorks Animation is short of money, and Warner has some projects that I think are good..."

"Why don't you cast on Warner's movies?"

"DC series, Warner will not attract foreign capital easily, and I can't watch the rest of the movies!"

“… Then you can do it, 500 million dollars..."

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

……

It's understandable that Chen Xi did this - pull up the stock!

I heard that Wang Jianlin acquired Legendary Pictures back then, and then rented a private equity fund, with the endorsement of China's richest man, the scale of this private equity fund can be imagined!

Shen Xudong's current status, at least in the film industry, is not weaker than that of Lao Wang in later generations.

If he is willing to gamble on his reputation, he can easily pull up a private equity fund of more than 10 billion.

Again, there is no need!

He didn't lack that money.

Cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods can jump out, but Tianmei can't, Tianmei is the leader of entertainment stocks, if he does this, then... Up and down, capital simply does not invest in mainland films, and directly invests in Hollywood!

On the side of the couch, there is no room for others to sleep soundly!

You must know that the Hollywood capital predators, who have the most advanced film industry in mankind and have the most funds, technology and talents, how can they really be willing to share this market with Chinese local films for a long time?

So, Guo Fan said, 'Hollywood is trying to learn how to make movies that Chinese audiences like, and they have a huge industrial background as a foundation, so when they learn this trick, we don't have any resistance, capital knows no borders, they just need to invest in Hollywood.' If this continues, it won't be long before no one invests in Chinese films. ’
