Chapter 118: Congratulations (7/8)

"Lao Zhao, who did the director of "The Temptation of Going Home" choose?"

"Didn't you say that Korean director Oh Se-gang is very suitable!"

“... He agreed?"

Zhao Jinsong: "Of course I agreed, the salary for a single episode is 20,000 yuan, and after a drama is filmed, his income is more than 2 million, which is equivalent to his income from filming five TV series in South Korea!"

Well, in the Korean TV drama industry, there are clear regulations that the director's salary is lower than that of the screenwriter.

Korean actors are also very cheap, Japanese benzene actors are even cheaper, as cheap as 1 million, the Japanese benzene system is basically very firm, actors are controlled by large companies, basically can't run out, Kimura Takuya can't run out, even if they run out, it's only one or two million yuan.

At this stage, the most expensive are Hong Kong actors, and even more expensive are Hong Kong actors who went to the United States, and their worth is denominated in the United States...

Back to the topic, Shen Mengxi asked again: "Have you found the actor?"

"Well, according to what you said, I found Choo Ja Hyun, Li Caihua and Lin Xiao to sue..."

"Any questions?"

"Li Caihua is very expensive!"

Shen Mengxi thought for a moment: "... Hong Kong actors are generally worth a lot of money, so if you go to find Zeng Li, Zeng Li's appearance is also very beautiful and atmospheric..."

"Okay... By the way, SBS also wants to get involved..."

"Kick in?"

"They also want to be involved in investing..."

"Let them fuck off, isn't "Splendid Legacy" already confirmed to be broadcast on SBS?"

Zhao Jinsong left.

Shen Mengxi filled his cup with water, and then dialed the phone of the third master, probably having a friendly exchange around the prosperous Chinese film market...

Well, to put it mildly, it is the box office of "People in Embarrassment", the two sides reached an agreement to continue to release, and there are more than 15% of the films scheduled in the fourth week.

Looking at the film schedule, "Assembly" will be released on the 20th, and the fourth week will be three days...

Don't think about breaking 100 million!

It is estimated to stop at around 92 million...

It's already very good, after all, the cost is only 4 million!

After "People in Embarrassment", Shen Mengxi can also be regarded as a well-known film and television producer...

Next year's "Ip Man", "Painted Skin", and by the way, "Nightclub", three movies are enough...

Write a book for Xu Zheng again, what kind of book to write?

It has to be a comedy, how about "Speeding Gossip"?

A big photography exhibition will break out at the beginning of next year, closely related to the facts - the beginning of "Speed Scandal" is a big photography exhibition...

Just as he was struggling with it, the phone rang, it was David.

......

"Immediately inform the media that the rights to adapt "Moving Labyrinth" have been taken by Twentieth Century Fox, and they will spend $38 million to adapt the first work..."

"Wait a minute, how much did you get for the adaptation license?"

"$8 million plus 15% of the copyright proceeds..."

"Copyright proceeds?"

Shen Mengxi explained: "It's not only the box office income, but also the subsequent window income, I have a share of the account! David is amazing!"

Zhao Jinsong asked again: "... Nothing extra?"

"Yes, our Dream Creek Studio will also invest $5 million, in addition, I'll go to China Film and ask them to invest $5 million too, by the way, Emperor will also invest..."

“... I'm going to talk, when is Twentieth Century Fox sending somebody?"

"It's only been a few days..."

Zhao Jinsong wrote these down, looked up and asked, "Who is the director?"

“... David hasn't said yet, he shouldn't be looking for a too famous director..."

After all, $38 million is not a big investment, and a famous director will not take on such a dystopian film...

"Okay, I'll contact the media immediately and guarantee that this news will be reported tonight!"

Zhao Jinsong turned around to leave, but Shen Mengxi stopped him: "Lao Zhao, do you think this news can stimulate the box office of "People in Embarrassment"?"

Lao Zhao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's hard to say, after all, the book version of "Moving Maze" has not yet been listed..."

Shen Mengxi nodded and motioned for him to leave...

You said that if there is a Weibo, once it is announced, buy a hot search, and immediately a bunch of book fans will come to comment, and it will immediately become a big news!

What now?

If you post a blog, you have to wait 12 hours to be on the leaderboard...

The influence is too weak!

Lao Zhao is right, the fact that "Moving Maze" is not on sale is also a big reason...

......

It's a tavern again, but the people at the party this time have been replaced by the batch of "Ten Releases"...

"Last time you said that you would be a big producer when we meet again, it's true, don't be for three days, look at each other!"

“... Good luck, good schedule selection..."

"Don't be modest, "People in Embarrassment" is really good!"

Gu Xiaobai interjected: "Except for the final ending, because Xiao San glanced at the main room, he suddenly realized that he voluntarily gave up, which was a bit negligent!"

"Haha, that's Xu Zhengchang, it has nothing to do with me, what I wrote is that Li Chenggong gave Xiao San five million, and Xiao San left voluntarily..."

Shen Mengxi decisively threw the pot on Xu Zheng...

The boiled egg is a big deal, the media calls him a new ghost director, and Shen Mengxi will also reward him with a red envelope of 1 million...

"What's the box office?"

"It's almost 80 million, and it should be around 86 million by the end of the week..."

"Tsk, the investment is only 4 million!"

"But the propaganda cost close to 10 million!"

"That's also making money, how many domestic movies can rely on the box office to make a profit?"

Long Bin glanced at Zhang Xiaobei, and the latter asked, "Mengxi, what do you think of "Casting Names"?"

Shen Mengxi was silent for a moment, and then replied, "It's a bit unexpected!"

"How?"

"I originally thought that Chen Kexin was not good at filming men's dramas, his masterpieces are "Sweet Honey", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", "If Love", full of female perspectives, I didn't expect him to really be able to make a men's drama that tells the most cruel side of human nature, "Casting a Name" is very good!"

Your own people, talking is no better than hiding it...

Of course, what should be tucked must be tucked up...

For example, with rhythm to discredit "Vote for Fame" or something...

"They all said that this movie is stable at 300 million!"

"yes..."

Shen Mengxi didn't speak...

300 million, it would be nice to have 200 million!

When "Assembly" comes up, you will know what the appeal of the main theme commercial film is.

Long Bin: "I saw on the Internet yesterday... Your phone is ringing!"

"Mine?" Shen Mengxi took out his mobile phone, clicked on it and looked at the caller ID, it was a very familiar number - Suitor Fairy Sister!

Very happy to connect: "Hey!"

"Congratulations!"

“... Haha, you're welcome, I didn't expect this film to be so smooth, can you see the news in Hong Kong?"

“... I'm talking about "Moving Labyrinth", didn't I say that Twentieth Century Fox took the rights to adapt it?"

“... Oh, you said that, yes, they took it!"

Talking about this, Shen Mengxi was blessed to the soul and asked, "Do you want to participate?"

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then asked: "Who doesn't want to participate?"

“... The project hasn't started yet, and I don't know how they're going to finalize it..."

This is really not lying, when Shen Mengxi designed the characters, he designed two or three Asian characters, two of which were men, only one female, and they were still tricky...
