Chapter 155: I Don't Understand Movies?
Shen Mengxi had never thought about expanding his own industry before.
He thought it was good to tinker with the script and then work with others!
Occupy the upstream of the entertainment industry chain.
Most importantly, there will be no conflict with people!
- I'm just a script seller, who can I conflict with?
The problem is that there are so many opportunities that I can't help it!
For example, Tang Ren, according to Li Yiping, the current Tang Ren is basically controlled by her - in the battle of "Shooting the Condor", Cai Yinong's vitality was greatly damaged, Li Yiping intervened strongly, and there was financial support from Mengxi Studio behind him, Cai Yinong now almost handed over the company's daily operations to Li Yiping...
For example, if you take a stake in Huayi, why not do this kind of money-making business?
and Yang Xiaomi, she is a cash cow!
The timing is so coincidental, of course, we must seize it?
Li Yiping still likes Yang Xiaomi, and after signing it, she gave Tang Ying in "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"...
......
Shen Mengxi departed for South Korea on the 16th, and on the 23rd, at eight o'clock in the morning, he returned from South Korea.
Stayed for six days.
didn't do anything, voted for two movies, "Running Turtle" and "Haeundae", and set the shooting plan for the other two TV dramas - "The Secret Garden" and "Queen Hyun Nae-suke", and the latter is the work of the newly recruited screenwriter Park Ji-eun...
In addition, there are three girls who have slept with relatively new faces, and they seem to be artists trained by Xijie himself...
"Hide and Seek" had 2.4 million moviegoers at the box office in the first weekend, setting a record for the fastest break through the cut-off point in Korean film history...
It is estimated that the total number of moviegoers should be more than 6 million.
In a word, it's over!
That's why Xijie is so considerate...
In the car, Shen Mengxi handed Zhao Jinsong a stack of papers, and then said, "Tomorrow, break all this news!"
It's nothing, it's what Shen Mengxi has done in the past few years, let's summarize it.
Similar to "The Temptation of a Wife" won the ratings championship of last year's Korean films, "Splendid Legacy" booked this year's ratings champion...
and "Rose Red Lotus" broke the box office record of horror films in Korean film history, and "Hide and Seek" is writing a box office record for thrillers...
In addition, there are Shen Mengxi's personal feelings or something...
Anyway, all at once!
Not for anything else, just to promote "Ip Man"...
Flowers bloom outside the wall, and the inside of the wall is fragrant!
Even if the effect is not good, at least Shen Mengxi can be promoted!
Moreover, the above will definitely give "Ip Man" a little convenience, at least it will not target "Ip Man" in the film schedule - after all, in the eyes of these people, those who can conquer foreign countries must be very good!
You don't see many domestic companies for the overseas market, really do their best, not only in terms of price, but also choose better materials.
The products we send to Hong Kong are the same as the products we export, and the products are guaranteed to be better and safer than those in the mainland.
After all, people want to be a global enterprise...
Zhao Jinsong looked at the pile of things and asked, "..."Splendid Heritage" was adapted into the Chinese version?"
“... Media took the initiative to contact SBS, and they approached me and wanted to adapt!"
"Okay, I'll arrange..."
"There's no rush for this, how is the box office of "Red Cliff"?"
Zhao Jinsong casually took out the newspaper from his bag: "I didn't look at it, this is yesterday's report!"
Red Cliff (Part I) has broken a number of box office records for mainland films. On July 14, the mainland box office reached 108 million yuan, becoming the fastest film to exceed 100 million yuan, and 10 days after its release, the box office reached 207.7 million yuan, making it the fastest film to exceed 200 million. ’
“... Breaking 200 million so soon?"
"Well, I heard that it caused a movie-watching frenzy..."
Shen Mengxi muttered: "Then why stop at 320 million..."
"What?"
"Nothing. Sighing, Shen Mengxi then asked, "What about the propaganda over there in "Ip Man"?"
"It's ongoing, and Hong Kong will also open on August 1..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jinsong's expression was a little hesitant...
Shen Mengxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
“... Since the 20th, haven't we arranged hype and publicity, and your response to Wang Jiawei's words was pushed by the spokesperson of Zedong Film and Television..."
"How?"
"She said that you are just an investor, you don't understand film, and you don't understand art..."
“...”
Shen Mengxi was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled...
Damn, I don't understand movies, I don't understand art?
If I really don't understand this, how dare I make a movie?
You Wang Jiawei understands movies, so you pit Deng Guangrong to vomit blood and be hospitalized, and almost found someone to chop him!
One movie is seven years to make!
A director, by the way, pits the actors, this kind of behavior is too inauthentic!
deducted Zhang Guorong's passport for his own movie, almost delayed the concert, and it is simply immoral to consume sexual orientation and not help refute rumors!
pulled a lot of actors to cut the shot directly after hard work, a shot can be repeated many times for no reason, without explanation, the work won a lot of awards, but basically lost money...
"Would you like to respond?"
“... Don't wait, wouldn't it be better to slap him in the face when "Ip Man" is released!"
Shen Mengxi comforted Zhao Jinsong...
But that's not what he thought in his heart!
How can I really slap my face?
Of course, it's a great movie by yourself!
Well, "Manchester by the Sea" and "Carol" are quite good...
......
The publicity and marketing methods of "Ip Man" are very old-fashioned, learn the marketing experience of "Hero", and concentrate on firepower from TV, Internet, print media to airplane and train videos, building advertisements and so on...
It's just throwing money!
The all-round coverage of sea, land and air arouses the audience's desire to watch the film urgently.
That's almost 8 million...
Now there's a problem, Twentieth Century Fox is a bit embarrassed, they want to scale back the distribution investment of "Ip Man" - the whole of July, the North American film industry was completely conquered by "Batman: The Dark Knight"...
Nolan's first work of condensing Godhead was released, and it received $155.34 million in the first weekend, setting a new record in the North American film industry...
Ten days after its release, the box office broke $300 million...
Twentieth Century Fox's "Doom of Doom" suffered a "Doom of Doom" and fell under the raging iron hooves of "The Dark Knight"...
As a result, the original plan was to win 2,200 theaters for "Ip Man", and the total distribution and publicity costs that needed to be spent were at least 6 million US dollars - copies, the unit price was about 600 US dollars, in addition to the film's trial screening public relations, warehousing and transportation, capital recovery costs, hiring investigation companies, secretly checking the theater box office, various publicity expenses, etc...
Now, they want to downsize, mainly worried that "Ip Man" will not be able to stop "The Dark Knight"...
Want to stop your loss early!
According to David's words, it's not a downsizing, they will release 500 first, and see how it goes...
If the market feedback is okay, the follow-up will increase the opening of the theater.
What kind of line is this, the reason why the distribution contract was signed in the first place was because McKanna guaranteed the distribution treatment of "Ip Man" in North America, and now he is playing this hand?
Shen Mengxi told David that if Twentieth Century Fox defaulted this time, then there would be no need to cooperate in the future!
