Chapter 283: Coffee Seat (4/5)
"Interview with Yang Lan", an interview variety show that is about the same popularity as "Lu Yu Has an Appointment".
Yang Lan's hosting skills and ability to guide the interview topic far exceed Lu Yu's, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, interviewing some subjects, she always wants to guide the interviewer to say what she thinks is the correct answer, which is the reason why some people are uncomfortable...
It gives everyone a sense of being on top.
Of course, Shen Mengxi doesn't particularly respect her, especially when she and her husband Wu Zhen...
It's a liar!
In the original time and space, after the release of "Avatar", Boss Wu deceived him once in the film and television industry in the name of "investing in 3D visual effects interactive technology films", why was it a lie?
Because he copied someone else's proposal!
As for Yang Lan herself, the Great Afforestation has her, the Da Vinci family has her, the Black Club has her, and the Central Africa Hope Project still has her...
You can't be so unlucky, right?
Never mind... Let's not talk about this.
Yang Lan then asked: "So, do you think Zhang Weiping is not qualified to evaluate you?"
“... No, I mean that I welcome director A Moumou to invest in our next film, I want him to experience what a professional film production company is, it's not interesting to stay in a small workshop all the time!"
Shen Mengxi made no secret of his desire for director A...
"Do you like Zhang Yimou very much?"
"Of course, Director A Mou's overseas honors won alone have hung the entire Chinese-speaking circle, and Hong Kong and Taiwan directors can't catch up with him alone!"
"I don't understand why everyone is so hostile to him, and it seems to be politically correct to despise Zhang Yimou for a while?"
"Hehe..."Yang Lan couldn't answer this question, so she changed the topic: "Then what do you think about Director Wang Jing..."
"Director Wang Jing... I don't have anything to say to him who made bad movies, the level is different!"
"Let's talk about Manchester by the Sea, we know that this story was written when you were traveling in the United States, that... What kind of opportunity was that?"
Shen Mengxi thought for a moment, and then replied: "I suddenly thought of it, and then I wrote..."
"I heard that this film is used to hit the Oscars?"
"The Oscars are so easy, I am reluctant to spend so much money on public relations, Leonardo should do his best to public relations actors, he has prepared 10 million US dollars!"
“... PR?"
"Didn't you stay in the United States? You don't even know about the Oscars?"
Subsequently, Shen Mengxi briefly introduced: "There is no white pie in the world, in order to make its films win the favor of the Oscar judges, every year during the selection period, the film company will spend a huge amount of money to launch a huge public relations campaign! According to CNN estimates, the studio invests about 100 million US dollars in Oscar public relations activities every year. The basic cost of participating in the selection is at least 200,000 US dollars, and the basic cost of getting some films nominated for key awards is more than 1 million US dollars, and there is a special company to operate related matters, which can be said to form a complete Oscar public relations industry chain. ”
"Farewell My Concubine" directed by Kai Ge didn't understand this, so he didn't win the award! The judges gave the award to the Spanish film "The Lover of Four Thousand Gold", which was more "sincere". ”
Yang Lan's face was very bad...
Because her husband is now doing Sunshine Film and Television, he is fooling people with the Oscars...
......
Leaving the recording hall, Shen Mengxi was quite cool.
Anyway, whatever people ask, he will say anything, and he doesn't have to worry about this or that...
If you can broadcast it, if you can't broadcast it, subtract it!
We talked not only about movies, but also about democracy...
Shen Mengxi said something, I have full confidence in China: Mr. Qian Mu, who wrote the "Outline of National History", said that Chinese can create a prosperous era as long as there are decades of peace and stability, and I am convinced of this!
Of course, Yang Lan also nodded in acknowledgement...
Then they diverted from the topic and talked about the United States, Hong Kong...
I got in the car when the phone rang.
"Hey, it's another meeting, I'm not going..."
“... Let's just say that I have something, anyway, there is a lot less than me, and there is not much more than me. ”
""Painted Skin 2" press conference, then I'll go later..."
"It's a bit of a personal matter, so I'll hang up first..."
There was something personal, someone asked him to meet.
Xingmei's boss Qin Hong...
Ask him to play golf with him, it's real golf!
......
Qin Hong is a Kaizi, who directed "Nanjing!Nanjing!" and "The King's Feast", including Chen Kexin's "If Love", "Martial Arts" and "Blood Drops" supervised by Chen Kexin...
Anyway, he has handled all the bloody films in those years.
It can be said that he is Kaizi, but it can also be described as his love for movies.
He knew that Shen Mengxi had a project of "The Watchers" in his hand, and the director was looking for a Korean director, and the cast was undecided, but the Korean copyright had been sold...
He wants to get in!
There are no secrets in the circle, especially Shen Mengxi.
His every move is watched!
"Painted Skin 2" invested 120 million, and basically the copyright of Japan and South Korea has been restored...
"Those Years" is scheduled for December 9th, and the fight is "Thorn Tomb", "Fengyun 2" and "Three Guns"...
For a project like "The Monitors", the producers and producers are all others, and even the script adaptation has his name written, Qin Hong wants to follow a wave, not to make money, but to have a little intersection with Shen Mengxi...
Shen Mengxi took the club, waved it back and forth, and then said, "I haven't played golf yet!"
Qin Hong: "... You can try it often!"
"I don't have much time..."
Shen Mengxi doesn't even bother to participate in the general drinking party now, how can he have time to play golf!
"Actually, there are very few people who come here to play, and basically they are all cooperative!"
Shen Mengxi nodded: "I can see it, the membership fee for a year is millions..."
“... Congratulations yet, Manchester by the Sea is completely famous..."
"It's not famous..."
Of course, Shen Mengxi knew why Qin Hong was looking for him, he was in the film and television investment industry, of course, to talk about projects, was it to introduce him to a blind date?
After greeting for a while, Qin Hong couldn't hold back: "I heard that Producer Shen is going to make a police and bandit action movie?"
“... Is there such a plan," Shen Mengxi simply asked: "What, Xingmei wants to invest?"
"Boss Shen's project has always been a sweet spot in the circle..."
"Not to mention, the theme of "The Monitors" this time is a bit unpopular, it is not a mainstream movie, and the total investment is close to 50 million, it is difficult to judge the market overview!"
“... Oh, is there a gap?"
"If Xingmei wants to invest, you can talk to Song Hang, he is a producer..."
Shen Mengxi did not refuse...
How to say it, if you are not sure that you will make money, it is better to pull a few more investors and share the risk!
"Didn't you say anything about Wang Jiawei?"
"It's all a trivial matter..."Shen Mengxi looked at him strangely: "What, Boss Qin wants to be a peacemaker?"
Qin Hong hurriedly waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with me, I only thought of "Ip Man 2"..."
