Chapter Ninety-Eight: Looking for Parents?, (part 3 of 5)
The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds.
It's a scam!
The Evolution of U.S.-China Co-Productions:
At the beginning, the United States provided funds, for example, in the early years, Colombia cooperated with China for several films, and they asked Chinese directors to make films, as long as they made overseas profits;
A huge loss, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" also lost Chen Guofu...
Later, the United States served as the director, screenwriter, post-editing and other core work, and most of the funds were also borne by the United States, while the Chinese side issued actors and won the distribution work in the Chinese market;
Later, they found out that there are a lot of rich people in China...
Then find a few out-of-fashion stars, and then pull a few assistant directors, visual effects directors or something, find a script at random, and use an intermediary - the Sino-US co-production is just like that!
This kind of charlatan is called charlatanism!
The most famous incident is probably the big oolong made by Huang Shengyi's Oscar invitation, and it is clear that the team was put a...
Later, it will not be so easy for Americans to come to China to finance (partial) capital (money)...
Of course, there are still Penguin Pictures and Ahri Pictures, which are superstitious about big data and lighthouses, are actively investing...
Shen Mengxi took out his mobile phone and prepared to make a call to Liu Yifei.
But I feel awkward...
Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, why should it be used?
Over there, Liu Yifei was hung up and cried directly...
She doesn't know what she's crying about, it's a grievance anyway!
Shen Mengxi's tone was full of disdain.
It seems that a word to her is a waste of saliva...
He definitely doesn't love me anymore!
After waiting for three hours, Shen Mengxi never called, she felt that something was wrong...
Then she called Liu Xiaoli...
......
The fans of "Harry Potter" are still very powerful, and in the first three days of the first weekend, the mainland box office was 162 million...
Of course, it's still not as good as "Transformers 3", which has set a good record of breaking 100 million at the mainland box office in a single day - on July 23, the mainland box office of "Transformers 3" was 104 million.
Whether it's "Big Man" or "Shark Beach", no one mentions it...
Hollywood is awesome.
The most frustrating thing is the package ticket sales of "Yang Shanzhou" + "Transformers 3", which is said to be a secret order under the six ministries!
Bundle up and sell tickets...
invisibly belittles the domestic films represented by "Yang Shanzhou"!
It's hard for you to imagine that this way of selling tickets...
What is the point of vanity on the books?
Some people also say that this is called 'opening up the market' - two tickets plus a piece of eighty yuan, "Transformers 3" single ticket price is eighty yuan, and the combination price is also eighty, but the combined price "Yang Shanzhou" ticket price is 60 yuan, and the ticket price of "Transformers 3" is 20 yuan...
The person in charge of the theater: Combined ticket sales, you can watch "Transformers 3" and then "Yang Shanzhou" after watching it, it doesn't matter if you don't watch it, for the audience, there is no loss...
We are opening up the market for domestic films!
Well?
Developing the market means that domestic films have a good profit model, and this product will make everyone like it more and more!
Movies themselves are a kind of entertainment consumption, which requires the audience to pay real money!
The current situation is that the audience didn't go to see the movie, didn't consume it for you, it's fake, what kind of development to talk about?
Shen Mengxi has no interest in reading Weibo at all these days, and his mind is full of "The Great Wall"...
As for Liu Yifei, what does she like to do!
Can an NPC still affect the protagonist?
Joke!
......
In August, the crew of "The Great Wall" moved to Hengdian.
Filming court scenes.
The prime minister who plays the villain is Mr. Li Jianyi...
He has always wanted to trip up the palace marshal and take power alone!
The general of the Shadowless Forbidden Army played by Li Xian personally escorted a captured glutton, wanting to explain to the court that the monster had evolved and needed to increase troops, but was framed by the prime minister that the Shadowless Army supported its own troops and intended to rebel...
It's a very regular palace battle.
Isn't Li Jianyi worried about the withdrawal of the shadowless army, the loss of the Great Wall, the gluttonous army going south, and the destruction of the Central Plains?
Of course he was worried, so he secretly reached a cooperation with the gluttonous king, and the latter agreed that after the matter was completed, let him be called emperor - the emperor of the puppet Central Plains government...
Otherwise, it's not interesting for everyone to be united.
Also, in this setting, the gluttonous king not only has courage but also strategy...
It's also preparing for the second part!
At the scene, Li Jianyi pointed to a green screen: "Is this thing scary? I think it's cute... What do you think?"
Li Xian didn't look at him, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, gluttony feeds on people, and it is difficult for knives and guns to penetrate, originally we could attack its armpits, face, and abdomen, but now they are faster, and they know how to sneak attack our vital points, that's how Long Dianshuai went!"
Playing the emperor is Zhang Yishan, who looked at the green screen with a disgusted face: "This thing is gluttony?"
"Yes!"
"Why is it so small, not as big as the elephant in my zoo!"
"Your Majesty, this thing has amazing power, and it can be torn apart..."
Shen Mengxi sat behind the monitor and watched the actors perform carefully.
Zhang Yishan's acting is okay, especially with Li Jianyi...
Prime Minister Li staged a scene of referring to a deer as a horse, and stubbornly said that gluttony changed from a monster to a beast - a beast that is not so terrifying...
"Click... Beautiful! Let's take a break... Drink some water and make up your makeup!"
After this filming, Shen Mengxi stood up and applauded...
It's not very good, the momentum is here...
He is a director who likes to encourage actors.
Well, I'll do it all over again!
The assistant director suddenly ran over and whispered something in his ear, Shen Mengxi looked at him in surprise, and then got up...
......
"Auntie!"
"Mom..."
That's right, Liu Xiaoli and Shen's mother rushed over...
Liu Xiaoli came over, Shen Mengxi could understand it, but she didn't expect even her mother to come over.
Obviously, this is what Liu Yifei found.
Shen's mother was still worried that her daughter-in-law had flown away, but after seeing her son, she immediately softened!
“... How did you lose so much weight..."
Shen Mengxi hugged her, and then said, "With such a big project, of course I have to think about it... As soon as you put a lot of effort into it, you lose weight, it's just right, it's good to lose weight and not lose your hair!"
"What about the beard?"
"Too lazy to scrape, delay time..."
"Is it that busy?"
“... Neither is it. Shen Mengxi touched his chin and felt very comfortable: "I think a bearded man is very attractive!"
"What's your charm..."
"Ahem..."
Liu Xiaoli next to her had to interrupt the scene of mother and son's filial piety.
Shen Mengxi: "Auntie, why are you here?"
"She's sick..."
Shen Mengxi was taken aback: "No, what's sick?"
Liu Xiaoli: "She locked herself in her room and didn't come out for several days!"
“... Well..."
Shen Mengxi's expression was a little unnatural...
After that quarrel, Shen Mengxi endured not to call her at first, and later... I'm used to it...
At the end of the day, pull in the assistant director, the cinematographer will shoot today, and by the way, discuss the next day's shooting, and at ten o'clock, go back to the room to take a shower, and go straight to bed...
Not to mention, this way of immersing oneself in the work, the filming of "The Great Wall" went smoothly.
