When it comes to the theme of magic, Han Shanping naturally thinks that it is "The Great Magician" - Zhang Haifan's original work. As for the film adaptation of the same name directed by Er Dongsheng and starring Liu Qingyun and Tony Leung, it is not a world at all.

Insert a sentence, Zhang Haifan's works are really good, "Record of Risking Death", "Blue Blind Prison Break", "The Great Magician", "The Five Thieves"...

"Blue Blindness: Prison Break" was adapted into the TV series "Blue Blindness"...

Zhang Haifan later joined Great Aim and organized "Flower Thousand Bone", "Hua Xu Yin", and also tried to organize "Zichuan"...

Pull it back, Shen Xudong is talking about "Demon Thieves", oh, to be exact, "Jing Tian Demon Thieves"!

This movie is deeply memorable - a new spectacle genre film, a dizzying series of dazzling pictures, and the story is told more mellowly,

It's very difficult, cool special effects are very simple - 75 million US dollars cost, if you can't do even a little special effects, simply don't make a movie, the key is to tell the story round, and there can be a certain amount of innovation, it's difficult!

Hollywood movies can be innovative...

"Rogue 2" didn't do it, and directly ended the series - abandoning the gorgeous stage magic of the first part, and became a complete third-rate Hollywood theft crime movie...

I really don't understand what the filmmaker thinks, can you make a theft movie?

Shen Xudong first denied "The Great Magician", and then briefly talked about the setting of "The Demon Thieves", in fact, the plot of this movie is quite simple: the process of "punishing rape and eliminating evil" - four magicians with their own magical powers + bosses in the shadows fight the wicked together!

"Lynching?"

"Yes... Therefore, the main battlefield of the movie cannot be in the mainland, I think Macau or Hong Kong can do! ”

“… Why Magic? ”

"It is convenient to create a dazzling visual feast, a colorful stage, dazzling lights, flying ribbons, and a dazzling 360° rotating lens, so that the audience is in the special performance of a famous magician..."

“… How much does that cost? ”

Shen Xudong touched it for a moment, and then said, "Let's talk less about 200 million... I just suddenly thought, the specific production will have to wait for the script to come out..."

“… No matter how much it costs, leave half for China Film! ”

"No problem..."

Han Shanping nodded, and then asked: "Do you want to operate the box office of "Painted Skin 2"?" ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "No, after "Painted Skin 2" passed 600 million, Hollywood has paid attention to it... It is difficult to think about one billion at the box office, unless some unconventional means are used, such as buying the box office, organizing public screenings for a fee, and forcibly raising the box office to one billion, but there is no need! ”

"Already paying attention overseas?"

"Of course, in the first half of the year, it was defeated, and a movie was killed in July, and it is about to surpass the box office results of "Mission Impossible 4" in Chinese mainland..." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Hollywood is eyeing the Chinese market, and will not be satisfied with today's less than 50% market share, they are studying what kind of movies Chinese audiences like!" ”

“… Imperialism will not die! ”

"It's not that serious, the Chinese market..."

……

Hanshanping is not easy!

This is not easy, which means that the system needs to be cautious...

The composition structure of China Film is not a company, there are many internal mountains, and Han Shanping stepped down later, more or less a victim of factional struggles!

For example, Zhang Qiang used to be the deputy general manager of China Film Co., Ltd., and he was Han Shanping's brother after the Beijing Film Incident, and he served as the latter's deputy for many years.

When Han Shanping retired, Zhang Qiang was also considered a candidate for chairman of China Film, but in the end the position was taken over by another person.

Then, in 2014, Ma Yun entered the entertainment industry in a big way, acquired Culture China to form Ahri Pictures, and Zhang Qiang served as the CEO of Ahri Pictures...

During Zhang Qiang's time in Ahri, he once launched "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" (movie version)...

Unfortunately, the development of Ahri Pictures is clearly not satisfactory.

I often boast of the "IP industry chain", the story, the background, and the magnificent atmosphere, and the people at that time really dared to believe it.

It's a pity that blowing is always blowing, and it's a little bit away from being awesome.

Zhang Qiang, like Song Ke and Gao Xiaosong, has also become an insider who left Ahri Entertainment, and Ahri Entertainment has entered the era of Ahri leadership.

Alas, in the heyday of big capital in those years, well-known directors in the circle gathered and painted a bunch of pies.

In the blink of an eye, there is a bunch of unfinished "messes" left, which require the intervention of financial and courageous receivers in order to bring those long-awaited projects to the light of day.

……

"The Four Famous Catches" will be released on July 16...

Nazha replaces Liu Yifei, there must be a gap in popularity, but it doesn't matter, "The Four Famous Catches" itself is a big IP, and the distribution ability of the light is not to say, the box office on the first day is 21 million, which directly interrupts the single-day box office champion of "Painted Skin 2" for 15 consecutive days, and the latter received 14.8 million in a single day;

"Painted Skin 2" is already in its third week of release, and the popularity is definitely not as hot as the newly released "Four Famous Catches"...

What's more, Deng Chao starred in "The Four Famous Catches".

After "Let's Run", Deng Chao's popularity soared, let's put it this way, in terms of popularity alone, he is not inferior to Han Geng!

Fortunately, "Painted Skin 2" has a good reputation - the most important thing is that it does not engage in pseudo-3D.

The box office of "The Four Famous Catches" was 94 million in the first four days, and the box office of "Painted Skin 2" was 72 million in the third weekend, with a cumulative box office of 730 million...

Judging from the current film schedule - "Nine-Story Demon Tower" will be released on July 27.

Insert a sentence: "Wo Long" was released in August, and the Film Bureau deliberately adjusted and raised "Disappearing Bullet" and "Listener to the Wind" to July 27, giving "Wo Long" a big enough gap to impact one billion...

"Wolong", starring Mr. Tang Guoqiang, the finale of the Three Kingdoms series of Tianmei Media, costs 250 million - including 250 million overseas investment!

That's right, the copyright investment in Southeast Asia and Japan directly covers the cost!

didn't even have a film flower, and didn't even announce the starring lineup, only a few words about the finale of Tianmei Media's 'Three Kingdoms Series', Shen Xudong produced, produced, and supervised, and then there were a bunch of overseas filmmakers making money...

I, Qin Shi Huang, hit the money...

And then it's really going to be paid!

The main Tianmei Media's 'Three Kingdoms Series' is famous and has become a signboard - regardless of the box office in the mainland, the first six films are generally around 12 million US dollars in Southeast Asia, and the box office of Japanese benzene is also more than 3 billion yen, which is more than 25 million US dollars when converted into US dollars!

Even if the release date of Japanese benzene is about half a year later than that of the mainland and Southeast Asia, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the audience!

Pull it back, that is to say, there is still a gap of more than a week, "Painted Skin 2" has a high probability of winning 850 million box office, and "The Four Famous Catches" should also have a box office of 200 million...

It's a win-win!

Then, the publicity team got to work: they couldn't wait to give Naza the title of the new box office queen.

Nazha starred in two movies, the new "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Four Famous Catches", both of which were very good at the box office...

The upcoming movies also include "Left Ear" (she plays Li Bar) and "Embroidered Spring Knife: Miao Jiang"...

The latter belongs to the derivative film of "Embroidered Spring Knife", which will be linked with "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to form the famous rivers and lakes of the Ming Dynasty.

In short, Nazha belongs to the real popular new star of the post-90s...

Of course, popular new stars definitely need artistic direction - lest they make mistakes and go the wrong way, you know, Vanity Fair has a lot of temptations, young actresses have no fine throat, and they must have the help of their seniors to control the direction...

It just so happened that Shen Xudong was very willing to give advice.
