Chapter 400: Pressure (1/3)
It's really not Shen Mengxi who decided to release the 3D version by himself...
A bunch of theatrical watchers proposed.
3D movie tickets are 10-15 yuan more expensive than general movie tickets...
Moreover, the Film Bureau has subsidies for 3D and IMAX films - according to the box office income of the film's high-tech format screening, the film copyright owner will be rewarded to subsidize the production fee of the high-tech format film!
The so-called "new technology format" is 3D movies!
And the subsidy is very strong, with a box office of more than 500 million, and a direct subsidy of 10 million!
He doesn't care if you're in 3D or 3D in post-production...
As long as the box office exceeds 500 million, it will really reward 10 million!
That...
Why be polite?
"Alice in Wonderland" is also a 3D movie that was later reproduced and sold $1 billion worldwide!
Disney can do this, why can't Shen Mengxi?
You want to say that the 3D effect of the late transformation of "Alice in Wonderland" is good...
Shen Mengxi may want to scold her mother...
The later conversion to 3D is not a particularly high-end technical work.
The Mengxi special effects team can do it, and it's not bad...
Of course, no matter how he defended it, Shen Mengxi also knew in his heart that this matter was a bit of a loss, so he didn't argue with reason.
Just speak on Weibo to show your attitude...
Weibo is really easy to use!
It can be used as a press conference - without having to pay for the media, reporters...
The promotion of "Painted Skin 2" took a lot of effort on Weibo.
As a result, of course, there are constant 'controversies' ...
Most of the negative reviews are for 'pseudo-3D' and 'unrealistic plot', and the good ones are 'good special effects' and 'a movie, especially a commercial film, the biggest role is entertainment, if it moves you, it's enough, there is no correction and improvement!'
The one in the back is the professional water army invited by the company's publicity team to bring the rhythm...
is accompanied by the box office of "Painted Skin 2".
From breaking the record on the first day, 130 million in 3 days on the first weekend...
On the first working day, it continued to report 23 million...
The next weekend, it still won 98 million at the box office...
Ten days after its release, the cumulative box office was 318 million...
Everyone knows that "Painted Skin 2" is already a phenomenal domestic movie of the year, and the box office of 500 million that Shen Mengxi said before is no longer a lie.
Then, the official Weibo of "Painted Skin" announced that the director of "Painted Skin 3" is Guo Fan...
It immediately caused an uproar!
......
"Painted Skin 2" Beijing Station, the last roadshow.
"I work with Zhao Bafei and Chen Kun, and I feel safe...
"It's rare to have a crew that allows the three of us to work together, and we're grateful for this opportunity!"
"Mengxi said at the beginning that "Painted Skin" is a series, and he is going to build more than a dozen movies around this worldview, of course, after the third part, a few of us will almost retire..."
"What kind of position fight?"
A journalist explained...
is still Zhou Xun's stupid agent, he actually liked a press release on Weibo that obviously trampled on Zhao Bafei...
“... There's no need, we're all actors in this play, and we're all essential roles, is it important who is the female number one and who is the female number two?"
"We have to continue to work together, we have all read the script of "Painted Skin 3", it is an incredible story!"
When the trouble failed, the reporter asked Wu Ershan: "Why didn't Director Wu continue to shoot "Painted Skin 3"?"
"I don't have time, I'm going to do "Walking with God"..."
"Then what do you think of Director Guo Fan?"
"I talked to him, a very thoughtful director. ”
"Are you worried that the series you created will be snatched away by others?"
Wu Ershan was annoyed: "... What is the problem, first of all, I am only the director of the "Painted Skin" series, and its creativity and copyright are all from Mengxi's company, and it is not at all a one-handed creation;
"I mean, wouldn't you be worried that he ruined the Painted Skin series?"
Wu Ershan took a deep look at the reporter who asked the question, and then said: "When Mengxi chose me to do "Painted Skin", there were also a bunch of media questions..."
......
Wu Ershan is very confident in Guo Fan...
The source of confidence is not only because Guo Fan and his team spent a month to draw a detailed concept design of "Painted Skin 3", and by the way, he took the time to communicate with the three leading actors, and most importantly, Wu Ershan believes in Shen Mengxi!
So far, the project that Shen Mengxi has intervened in has not failed!
The status of the rivers and lakes is high!
Guo Fan...
There must be pressure, and the higher the box office of "Painted Skin 2", the more pressure he has.
Especially the story of "Painted Skin 3" is not so mainstream...
Think about what happened to her: "Painted Skin 3" was released with great expectations, and then she was scolded and ended her career completely!
An investment of 160 million, no joke ...
By the way, the salary of Zhao Bafei, Chen Kun, and Zhou Xun "Painted Skin 3" has risen to 12 million...
Compared with the increase in the second part, it is a bit difficult to accept.
But that's how the market goes!
The outside crew invited Zhou Xun to take over the play, and the price offered was 15 million - the coal boss is really rich!
If you think about it, a coal boss in Shenmu County had a meal with Fan Pie, who has not yet become a wealthy family, and spent 12 million!
12 million, diamond-encrusted?
It's that expensive!
Speaking of Guo Fan, the more pressure he has, the higher the passion...
Shen Mengxi is looking forward to...
It's also annoying, Shen Gongzi is now in the United States - busy with the promotion of "Inception" and the Sino-US co-production...
I received calls from Guo Fan every day.
It feels like Shen Mengxi is about to be hollowed out...
Then, the official Weibo of "Painted Skin" was announced again, and the spin-off movie "Little Fox Demon and Demon Hunter" was announced, starring Yang Xiaomi, Zhang Hanyun, director: Wang Ran...
That's right, it's a rookie director again, and the production cost was announced at the same time: 90 million yuan;
By the way, there is also the reason for the development of the project of "Little Fox Demon and Demon Hunter", Shen Mengxi said on Weibo:
"Little Fox Demon and Monster Hunter" is a project that Toei has been urging to develop, the first part of "Painted Skin" won 2.2 billion yen at the box office in Nippon, DVD sales and Internet hits have been very high, Toei investigated the audience's popularity, and found that the two characters of Little Fox Demon and Demon Hunter are particularly liked by Japanese audiences;
We also have the idea of expanding the worldview of "Painted Skin", but we have not dared to do it, after all, the investment is very large, and the success of "Painted Skin 2" has strengthened our confidence...
Therefore, I took the initiative to contact Toei, and "Little Fox Demon and Demon Hunter" confirmed the project, and I hope you can support it a lot.
Then, Naza's fans shouted 'Why don't you use our Naza!' under his Weibo
'Naza is cute too!'
That's right, "Painted Skin 2" is a play, and it became an instant hit and was praised by everyone...
Her character in the movie is very good, she sells cuteness and foodies, unlike Zhang Hanyun in the first part, the latter also has the kind of monster that only kills people and takes hearts, which is stuck in "Painted Skin 2", eats everything, and has a good appetite...
Mengxi Eight Golden Flowers started the latest, and her beginning is really incomparable!
