Chapter 185: What Gets Paid to Celebrate My Mother's Birthday (1/3)

Of course, Shen Mengxi didn't really come to ask for money.

"Departure Today" participated in the Busan and Tokyo film festivals and sold some overseas copyrights.

How much does it cost?

Add one piece to less than 100,000!

Let's just tell you, Haitui Company sells overseas copyrights, and it is really half sold and half given.

How much was the distribution rights of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" sold in Japan?

30,000 yuan, RMB!

Later, Haitui simply stopped doing business, and held "Beijing screenings" every year, inviting guests from some small markets in Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe for $600 a film...

It's true!

Official channels basically don't want to make money...

As for TV copyrights and image copyrights, the addition of one piece is less than 1.2 million, even if it is distributed to Mengxi Company, it is only a few hundred thousand...

What Shen Mengxi wants is the posture of Zhongying!

Therefore, the third master sincerely apologized, but Shen Mengxi took a step back...

This topic was revealed, and the third master asked about "Manchester by the Sea"...

"That book is very tragic, I don't see any hope, but the Oscars eat this set, I don't think it's a problem to get a few nominations..."

"Oscar nomination?"

"Well," Shen Mengxi added, "we are going to participate in the Sundance Film Festival all the way from the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, Cannes, Toronto, and then release in November, aiming for the awards season... That's the standard route to the prize..."

"Rush for the prize?"

"Han Dong, the mainstream Hollywood film industry is divided into commercial films and award-winning films, needless to say about commercial films, the award-winning genre, you have to build momentum from the beginning..."

Shen Mengxi popularized the award season, and then said with a little regret that "Farewell My Concubine" was because I didn't spend a dime in the awards season"...

The third master smacked his lips, and then asked Shen Mengxi, "Then do you think we can win the Oscar?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "There is no need to take the Oscar as a goal, keep your own market and develop yourself, in time, as the national strength of the country rises to a higher level, Chinese films will naturally be exported to the external market, and when the time comes, a bunch of American films will come to China to participate in the selection, then it will be called a film power!"

Talking about this, Shen Mengxi was ready to leave.

It's all done...

The third master suddenly asked him, "Xiao Shen, do you have any thoughts on the gift film?"

"Tribute?"

"Isn't next year the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

The third master told me about "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"...

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is a gift project of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the General Administration suggested that Han Sanye personally take charge as the director, you know, at this time, Han Dong has not directed a play in person for 18 years, and he has done a lot of gift films, which does not look like a work that sells money...

What interests him is a commercial masterpiece like "October Siege".

Shen Mengxi made a suggestion: "If this kind of gift film wants to be a big hit, you can only go with an all-star lineup, follow the World War II movie "The Longest Day", and let all the roles be played by stars, even if it is just one line." ”

“...”

The third master frowned...

It's not that it's bad, it's just... How is the salary calculated?

Shen Mengxi disagreed: "It's all for the birthday of the motherland, what kind of salary do you want?"

The original time and space did just that, and later even gave birth to a production mode: grasping the main theme of the Zhuang Ding gift film, this genre has Chinese characteristics... The biggest bonus is the free cast!

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" are all created according to this mold!

The third master's heart moved: "Is this okay?"

Shen Mengxi took it for granted: "Of course, on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, every Chinese feels honored, and the actors are first Chinese, and then they can talk about art, let them perform tribute films, that is their honor!"

“... So you're going to be a director?"

Shen Mengxi immediately changed his expression: "I can't..."

"Why not? Didn't you say celebrating the birthday of the motherland?"

"What I shoot may not pass the review... I know very well what the Guo Party has done! Let's put it this way, I think Chiang Chung-zheng's defeat was doomed from the beginning, because they stood on the opposite side of the people!"

The third master shook his head regretfully...

This involves the basic understanding of historical figures, as well as some real-time control...

The original version of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" has nothing wrong with it, except that Jiang Zhongzheng is portrayed as a tragic hero, and Comrade Jianfeng is portrayed as a completely positive character...

According to the opinion of some extreme media: even if the other side is allowed to shoot, at most that's it!

Shen Mengxi agreed, and her ass was crooked!

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"!

Why did the Fruit Party fail?

The essential reason is that they are completely opposed to the people, not some kind of corruption...

Why did our party win?

Because we represent the interests of the broadest masses of the people and have the support of the people!

But in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China", what is the image of the two?

There is nothing to do with the people at all, Comrade Jianfeng is busy fighting corruption, and Mr. Zhongzheng is also dedicated to serving the country...

Our leaders, that image...

If you analyze it a little, you will know who "Uncle Jianguo" is biased towards!

If Shen Mengxi is in charge of directing, he can change the position of the whole story...

But not now, because cross-strait relations are developing steadily, and we have illusions about peaceful reunification...

Han Dong doesn't have any good way, he can only shoot like this!

When "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" and "The Decisive Moment" began, they began to show the true side of the fruit party little by little...

......

"If Han Dong wants to film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", he needs more than 100 stars, you contact Li Yiping and Cai Yinong, and let them take the initiative to ask for the opportunity to show their faces for the artists under them, even if they don't have lines, they have to be on it!"

Coming out of the middle shadow, Shen Mengxi immediately told Zhao Jinsong...

"A hundred or dozens of people, how much does that cost?"

"What kind of remuneration do you receive to celebrate the motherland's birthday? Let me tell you that Li Lianjie and Andy Lau will come, and they will not be paid a dime! This movie will create a box office miracle! At this time, we must compete to be the first, and if we come too late, we can't even drink soup."

Zhao Jinsong was shocked for a long time, and then hurriedly called Li Yiping...

Shen Mengxi said, 'At this time, you have to be the first, it's too late, and you can't even drink the soup!' is not a joke, in the original time and space, Zhou Xingchi made two phone calls to Huang Jianxin, the director of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", but he still didn't get the role - because at that time, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" had already been completed!

After making the call, Zhao Jinsong thought for a while and said: "Gift films are a good business, and when we have the opportunity in the future, we will make our own gift films!"

“... Let's talk about it then!"

Gift films, it's not something you can do if you want to...

Comrade Lenin once said: 'The most important of all art is cinema!'

This is also the reason why in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the above watched movies so important - to direct film propaganda with the thinking of a model play.

Heroes all kinds of tall and full...

And then I was taught to be a man by the market!

Later, we summed up the experience that the gift film should also coincide with the characteristics of commercial genre films.

Even so, what can do "My Motherland and Me" and "The Climber" is still Chinese movies and films...

The only thing left for private companies is the main theme...

In other words, next year is such a good time, do you want to try the market with a main theme?
