At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Shen Mengxi went downstairs for breakfast.

Chen Liming also appeared in the restaurant with Jiang Nan, and after saying hello, the former took advantage of his daughter-in-law to leave, and looked at the refreshed Shen Mengxi with a little envy: "You are in good health!"

“... Less!"

Mr. Shen's body is indeed great, his energy is unlimited, and the maid is not tired...

Well, to be honest, he doesn't get sick easily and is relatively resistant to stress.

Manifested on the outside, the complexion is ruddy, the expression is natural, the movements are coordinated, the speech is full of energy, the thinking is clear, and it is not greasy at all!

The little fat man looked obscene: "You don't thank me, that girl is a car model, it's hard to find!"

Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes: "That's because you don't know tea merchants and seafood vendors..."

Car models, peripherals, students, beauty pageants, by the way, plus the girl group, this is a gray industrial chain!

The major tea merchants and seafood merchants are equivalent to brokers.

In his previous life, the nature of Shen Mengxi's work made him have to deal with the financiers who had this need often...

Asking people to eat seafood is a tried and tested trick - no man is indifferent to seafood!

"Tea merchant, seafood merchant, what do you say?"

"You don't need to know this, we have a PR department, right?"

"It's not established yet..."

"Hurry up and set up one, and in the future, we will have to deal with all parties when selling dramas and movies, and we need an experienced public relations manager who is familiar with the situation. ”

Chen Liming nodded, and then said, "I just discussed with Nan Nan, and I'm going to let Hai Qing make a cameo..."

Shen Mengxi: "Cameo appearance in "People in Embarrassment"?"

"Well, that's both trouble-free and effort-saving!"

yes, it's really easy to do...

Don't you need the halo that comes with a star?

Shen Mengxi didn't agree directly, but asked, "It's Tuesday, right?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I'm waiting for the first weekend of 'Stone'!"

“... How many do you think you can have?"

"Between 5 million and 8 million... It won't be too different!"

Chen Liming calculated a little, and then asked hesitantly: "Then how much do you think the total box office can be?"

"40 million to 50 million," after a pause, Shen Mengxi explained: ""The Ballad of Yunshui" will be released on the 1st of next month, and China Film will focus its resources on pushing that movie, and "Stone" will actually be a box office in 20 days..."

At this stage, private companies have not yet been involved in the cinema industry on a large scale, and the mainland cinema chain is basically owned by several large countries, forget it, it is controlled by China Film, and the top eight cinema chains: In addition to the China Film Xingmei, China Film Southern Shinkansen, and China Film Digital, which directly hang the China Film prefix, the Central Sichuan Pacific Cinema Line is actually a joint venture between Emei Film Factory and China Film.

Others, such as Guangdong Pearl River Cinema Line, Shanghai United Cinema Line, Beijing New Film Association, and Jiangsu Happy Blue Ocean, are all state-owned and inextricably linked with China Film.

Therefore, Shen Mengxi found China Film to cooperate in the release of "Stone"...

Here's the problem, compared to "The Ballad of Yunshui", "Stone" is really just a godson!

"The Ballad of Yunshui", the project personally led by the third master - an all-star lineup of people across the Taiwan Strait and three places...

If you can give "Stone" two months, maybe it can really break 100 million!

"China Film News only appeared on Thursday..."

"So, we can make a fuss!"

Chen Liming was stunned for a while, and asked carefully: "Bragging?"

"You don't need to blow it too much, just say that it's close to 10 million, I've already arranged the draft!"

"China Film News" was not released in a timely manner, and there was no legal network reprint, the recognition and influence were very limited, most of the audience didn't know what this thing looked like, so there were more articles that could be done!

During this time, the reports about "Stone" gradually gained overwhelming momentum, and at this time, there was no problem with blowing a wave of box office close to 10 million in the first weekend...

"When the box office of "Stone" explodes, we can do more articles!"

Anyway, "People in Embarrassment" will only start filming next year, and Shen Mengxi has enough time to find a star to make a cameo...

With the plane tree, are you still afraid that the phoenix will not fly over?

......

In fact, the discussion about "Stone" has become the focus of most of the media during this time!

Especially Shen Mengxi's speech, he strongly supported the small cost and maliciously stepped on the blockbuster...

"There have been a lot of small-budget movies before, but how many have really caught fire? Very few, in the ideological field, these are very random!"

"It's not right to advocate small costs, small cost production films have always been there in these years, and the proportion of production is also very large, but the sales are less, and among the more than 200 domestic films produced every year, 80-90% are small cost productions, and large productions are only a few. ”

In 2005, there were 251 domestic films per year, of which 200 were small-budget films that were not released in theaters. Most of China's low-budget film production is a kind of small workshop-style production circle, and the starting point of their films is not to face the audience, nor do they want to enter the theaters, their goal is to take money from audio-visual and television broadcast rights, and to recover the cost is satisfied. ”

It's also strong.

"Blockbusters can't save Chinese films, although the big production "Hero" set a box office record of 250 million yuan, but it did not drive the box office of domestic films to rise sharply that year. According to the data, in 2002, among the 900 million yuan film box office, "Hero" monopolized the box office of 250 million yuan, plus the box office of imported films was at least 500 million yuan, and the total box office of the remaining 99 domestic films was less than 200 million yuan. ”

"The revitalization of Chinese films needs to be promoted as a whole, and if we only focus on the production, publicity and distribution of a single film, it will jeopardize the survival of every domestic film. ”

"Looking at the development trend of world films, in addition to the luxury masterpieces that the United States continues to throw, low-budget films have become the development goal of national films in many countries. Low-budget small-budget films generally adopt localized narrative methods and artistic styles, which are in line with national culture and psychology, and are easily welcomed by the public. ”

"The birth of "Crazy Stone" at least represents the feasibility of this model! The industry believes that small-budget production will become a major trend in the development of Chinese films!"

And that's just the controversy over blockbusters or small budgets!

More is discussed about the Stone film itself ...

In fact, many filmmakers in this time period, no matter who they are or which side they are on, first of all, they all want to make Chinese films better and better.

That's for sure!

Otherwise, there's no need to stand up and discuss...

On Tuesday, Whoosh Fox, NetEase, including Zalang News, appeared in the box office report of "Crazy Stone", with the title of ", Crazy Box Office, Box Office Reached 8.8 Million in Three Days on the Weekend:

There are no stars, no famous directors, "Crazy Stone" was born, and it won nearly 10 million box office in the first weekend, leaving the Hollywood blockbuster "Miami Vice" behind, we congratulate "Stone", congratulations to Ning Hao, congratulations to Chinese movies!

Just like Shen Mengxi said: The quality of the movie itself is the first element of box office success, and others like stars and directors are just icing on the cake!
