"Painted Skin 2" was released for half a month, with a box office of 450 million, which has long surpassed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" and topped the box office list of Chinese films...

So far, it has maintained a box office growth rate of more than 10 million in a single day, and it is estimated that the final box office can be between 550 million and 600 million.

More than $90 million at the box office in a single market!

Hollywood is shocked!

This is something that has never been done before except in the Japanese benzene market...

How to say it...

Shen Mengxi's status is bullish!

In the early years, Hollywood cooperated with China and asked for overseas copyrights, but later it was scared, so it cooperated with China Film to jointly develop...

But it's not powerful, because the market in those years was too small...

It's been different lately!

As of July, the box office of the Chinese market in the first half of the year was 5.2 billion, and it will definitely break 10 billion this year!

What a concept, the eighth largest film market in the world...

Moreover, the Chinese population base is large, and the scale of cinema construction is growing rapidly.

It is estimated that it will soon surpass Japanese benzene and become the second largest film market...

Do you think about why the Chinese version is specially available?

It's just to make money!

Thomas Toole has the same idea, and he has discussed the project "The Great Wall" with China Film, and both parties think it is reliable...

He wanted to fight for it again...

After all, Shen Mengxi's name is here!

He took out the complete script of "The Great Wall" very sincerely and handed it to Shen Mengxi: "This is the script of "The Great Wall"..."

Shen Mengxi flipped it open and looked at it...

Nothing has changed, it's just that the white man saves the world...

Typical imaginary Chinese films, Hollywood treats all countries – except the UK – with a high spirit.

For example, in "Mulan", you take the Chinese story and characters as a whole, and then use your own logic to change it beyond recognition.

The most awesome work of European and American white people with China as the protagonist is Pearl Sai's "Dragon Seed" - people have lived in the countryside of Zhenjiang for more than ten years!

The rest, like the 98 "Mulan" animation, including "Kung Fu Panda", is also good, although I don't have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, but there is respect for human culture, and I can "realize" the excellent qualities in the common culture of human beings, and I would rather leave blank than obscene glue in other cultural details.

It's not easy!

"The King of Kung Fu", "Shanghai Noon", "The Mummy 3", and now "The Great Wall", are basically the same: I, the white Americans, have come to save you China...

You said that "The Great Wall" is really insulting to the Chinese - it really isn't, at least people are willing to save!

The "Fu Manchu" series is really full of hostility...

Why are the "Mulan" animation and "Kung Fu Panda" not bad?

American animation creation tends to be true, good, and beautiful, so it's a bit like a crooked hit.

"The King of Kung Fu", "Shanghai Noon", and "The Mummy 3" are the real level of Hollywood!

......

Shen Mengxi actually likes the concept of "The Great Wall" very much...

Moreover, Thomas Toure visited him three times, and he was really moved...

But he didn't like Thomas Toll's script for The Great Wall so much he said, "If I make this movie, the plot will have to be completely revised!"

Thomas Toole's eyes lit up: "You say... How to change it?"

Shen Mengxi: "The story line has changed from the main duty of saving the world to witnessing the baptism of disasters and being inspired to complete self-redemption from his perspective..."

"The protagonist came to steal gunpowder, was caught, and was finally inspired by the spirit of the defenders, joined the defenders to fight monsters together, and then made the protagonist group into a team, turned into a group drama, and finally everyone defeated the monsters together, and the protagonist understood the reason for fighting with his comrades in the fight against monsters, and returned to the West with the honor and mission of the warriors. ”

Thomas Toole asked, "Why are you fighting?"

"Of course, for the sake of the people, we have the concept of the people's soldiers..."

"People's soldiers?"

"Our soldiers are all from the people, from the people, defending the country is both an obligation and a responsibility, we have a military and civilian fish and water situation... Do you understand?"

He knows a fart!

The U.S. military is responsible for fighting or suppressing it, and when it really suffers a disaster, it should also go to a professional rescue team for help, not to mention any "military and civilian fish and water conditions".

"Forget it, you go to see a 2006 Canadian documentary called "They Chose China", and after watching it, talk to me!"

"They Chose China" details the story of 21 American prisoners of war and 1 British prisoner of war who stayed in socialist China under the inspiration of the volunteers during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

Thomas Toole shook his head: "No, you can do whatever you want... Your research on Chinese and American culture is definitely more than that of these assembly line screenwriters, and I think the script you wrote is appropriate!"

“... Okay, let's talk later..."

Thomas Toole: "What do you think of Leonardo as the male lead?"

"Huh?"

"This movie is definitely going to have a big investment, Leonardo is popular enough, you have a good relationship with him, I think..."

“... I think we can wait..."

"Why wait, what a great idea!"

"Decide on the director first, and then discuss the actors, and Leon's salary is too high..."

Shen Mengxi was a little speechless, this was too anxious!

Thomas Toole nodded: "It's up to you." ”

......

The matter of "The Great Wall" has been postponed for the time being - the script has not been decided, and the director has not yet been determined.

Shen Mengxi was too busy to think about it.

Sino-US co-production is imperative, Hollywood's technology is indeed worth learning, Shen Mengxi's Sino-US co-production with his trumpet, after all, is a small fight, even if the production cost of "Super Body" is only 35 million US dollars...

The cost of "The Great Wall" is at least hundreds of millions, a real Sino-US co-production!

Of course, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, things have to be done step by step, and the most important thing now is "Inception"...

"Inception" is about to be released.

His task now is to go to the airport and pick up people.

Target: Liu Yifei and Guo Jingfei...

Lao Guo is a package gift, his character pharmacist does not have a strong sense of existence, and Liu is not the same, she is the actual female number one of the movie, the dream designer of the Dream Inception team!

And this is the first Hollywood A and production movie she starred in, and it is impossible to miss the premiere and related publicity...

The young lady is also looking forward to it, mainly because she hasn't seen Shen Gongzi for almost two months, on the one hand, she needs to control the water, and on the other hand, she also likes "Painted Skin"...

Shen Mengxi was at the café next to the airport, ordering a cappuccino and a sandwich, chewing and reading the newspaper.

Warner Bros. really attaches great importance to Nolan, whether they are optimistic about "Inception" or not, the publicity effect is full, and traditional print media such as "Hollywood Reporter", "Variety", "New York Times" and so on have already advertised.

In addition, a large number of movie posters are really willing to spend money, just the poster wall at Los Angeles International Airport, the largest movie poster, the advertising space cost is close to 480,000 US dollars a month, and it has been posted for two months!

You must know that this summer file, Warner Bros. has more than one "Inception", but also "Titans", "Sex and the City 2", and "Thieves in the City"...

Obviously, the publicity resources are tilted towards "Inception".

By the way, Warner Bros.'s box office expectations for "Inception" are: at least 150 million in North America and 250 million overseas, which is the baseline for recovering costs.
