Chapter 168: Japanese Friends

Let's talk about it, the crew added 10 million yen to both of them, which is converted into RMB, close to 700,000...

The price is not high, after all, the investment in the whole drama is only 48 million, and the actors' salaries account for half, which is already a very high proportion!

But they are still very happy to be able to play the characters of the Three Kingdoms.

Although the script doesn't seem to be the same as "Three Kingdoms", the two of them, one plays Yang Xiu and the other plays Concubine Dong, both of whom are recorded characters.

Pretty good mood.

It's that everyday communication needs a translator...

Shen Mengxi knew that Company B had arranged Kei Tanaka and Yui Aragaki to be surprised, both of them were newcomers promoted by Company B - Company B was the leader of Oguri Shun...

Later, when I thought about it, I probably arranged for them to come over for a vacation!

The filming of Japanese dramas is broadcast while filming.

It's very demanding for the actors, and it's very demanding for the entire production!

There are only a few stations that can show TV dramas in Japan, and they are all integrated production and broadcasting, and they all adopt a system of filming and broadcasting.

Therefore, actors acting in a play not only have to withstand the test of the script, but also have to suffer the consequences of ratings failure...

The worst thing is that while the ratings are not up to standard, they still have to shoot - it has to be over, the eunuch hurts his character!

In comparison, China is much more comfortable, with dozens of satellite TV and more than a dozen large online media broadcasting markets there!

For the first time, Yui Aragaki experienced a day of washing, and then a three-day break...

The whole person is a little confused...

There is a saying: an actor should still work with a different director!

After all, seeing different styles and different regional cultures is one of the great pleasures of actors.

But Yui Aragaki has too few scenes, and Kei Tanaka's Yang Xiu has appeared in almost eight episodes, and her Concubine Dong is a big trick...

So, the so-called seeing different styles, there is no feeling at all...

......

In the restaurant not far from the crew, in the box, someone was talking:

"Actually, I didn't like to watch Japanese movies before, and I always felt that the actors' performances were too much!"

"I later learned that we think it's pompous, but people think it's real... Some time ago, wasn't there a Japanese official who was found to have embezzled public funds and cried at a press conference! Therefore, this is actually a style, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"There is a historical reason for this, most of the earliest directors and actors of Japanese films changed their careers from stage performances, and unconsciously brought the exaggerated and energetic performance style of stage plays. In the early days, directors felt that actors who could perform hard were considered to be hard-working, and after a long time, it affected the performance and the audience's taste, resulting in a heavy degree of exaggeration in the industry as a whole. ”

"But in recent years, many life dramas will not have this phenomenon!"

"I've watched a lot, and I found that the performance methods of actors all over the world are similar, and I watched a few Ozu movies two days ago, and the acting methods of Sabun Toshinobu and Kasa Chizhong are very restrained and subtle..."

Shen Mengxi, Li Yiping, and two assistants sent by the company, and a translator accompanied the two Japanese friends to have dinner and chat about movies by the way...

Regular Movie!

"The first Japanese benzene movie to be introduced to China should be "Blood Coagulation", right?"

Li Yiping interjected: ""Pursuit"!"

“... I have too many memories of Momoe Yamaguchi!"

"Blood Coagulation is a TV series!"

“... Well, my memory is messed up..."

"Don't just talk about us, you can talk too!"

After waiting for a long time, Kei Tanaka said: "I like "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" very much..."

"Liu Li's movie!"

Shen Mengxi nodded and said: "It's very clean, with a comfortable movie, there are no ups and downs, there is just a life like water, and a picturesque scenery... This kind of movie is to your tastes?"

"Well, I like it so much!"

Li Yiping said: "Then invite Liu Ye tomorrow and make a few cameo appearances!"

"Okay, you look at the arrangement!"

Glancing at Yui Aragaki who was eating quietly, Shen Mengxi asked her, "Does GAKKI have a favorite Chinese actor?"

"Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa..."

Hearing the translator's words, Shen Mengxi got up and brought her half a glass of wine: "Drink more!"

Why don't you say Li Lianjie?

Girl, be realistic!

How could Shen Mengxi invite Cheng Long and Zhou Yanfa?

This is a TV series, not a movie!

......

Shen Mengxi's contact and exchange with the two Japanese friends is limited to this night...

He's busy and has a lot of things on hand!

First of all, "Hide and Seek" and "Test of Death" in collaboration with Xijie have already been drawn, and now they have to settle the accounts;

secondly, "Manchester by the Sea" is about to start filming, and he has to hurry to the United States to shoot;

Also, "Ip Man", "Departure on the Same Day", "Painted Skin"...

On the tenth day of the release of "Ip Man", the box office successfully exceeded 100 million, becoming the eighth film of the year to break 100 million yuan, Ye Weixin was successfully crowned the 100 million yuan director club, and Shen Mengxi's Mengxi Studio also became famous - the third private producer in the mainland that has the ability to create a film of 100 million yuan.

Insert a sentence in the middle of "Deserted Village Inn", this fart movie actually won a box office of 2.8 million on the first day, which made several producers happy!

"Departure Today" was originally scheduled for September 30, and I wanted to grab a National Day file, but of course I couldn't raise my head because I was suppressed by "Painted Skin".

Shen Mengxi and a few of them studied it, and felt that August 29 was a more suitable schedule, although there was "The Incredible Hulk", but "The Incredible Hulk" was a nondescript film, and Edward Norton, who played Dr. Banner, also fell out with Marvel...

""Painted Skin", call several protagonists, scattered publicity, there is no need for all the protagonists to appear in the same city, and theatrical support is very important!"

"There are a few companies that want to buy the patch ads for Painted Skin!"

"Oh, how much does it cost?"

Shen Mengxi's clouds are light and breeze, and his heart is already refreshed!

Riding horses, finally some manufacturers are willing to buy patch advertising.

The next step is to place ads...

To explain, patch advertising is different from pre-screening advertising in theaters, this form is only available in the mainland, and it is also determined by China's special historical origins.

Brief introduction: It is that the customer takes a fancy to a certain film and follows the advertising of this film, which used to be called film advertising!

How can I get my customers to advertise?

Celebrities, famous directors, and famous actors!

The first part of "Ip Man" attracted four accompanying advertisements, with a total price of almost 4 million, which is not high, but it is not low, "Ip Man 2" has not started filming yet, and eight patch advertising positions have been sold, and the unit price is also twice as high as "Ip Man", 2 million, which means that the advertising revenue alone has reached 16 million.

It's almost enough to pay Zhen Dan's salary...

The publicity of "Painted Skin" is about to kick off, and the game trailer of the main NetEase has begun to be launched...

It has attracted a lot of attention.

At this time, it should be quite cost-effective to choose the accompanying advertisement of "Painted Skin"!

"Up to 1.8 million..."

This price is much worse than Shen Mengxi imagined, so he shook his head: "It's not enough, wait a minute, wait for us to announce the opening, and then accept the offer!"
