Chapter 322: Daily Life (3/5)
Making movies is actually a high-risk choice!
Maybe one or two films will fail to invest, the capital chain will be broken, and the company will go bankrupt directly...
New Line Pictures, which invested in the production of the Lord of the Rings series, is just that.
After the success of "The Lord of the Rings", New Line was blindly optimistic, mistakenly believing that any film rich in fantasy elements would be a hit.
So in 2006, he made every effort to create the "Golden Compass" series, with an investment of up to 180 million US dollars.
Unexpectedly, the first part of the film failed at the box office after its release, earning only $26 million. The reasons for the failure are varied, but the new line blindly gambled and did not fully recognize the situation in the film industry at that time, which can be said to have directly led to such a fiasco...
After the failure of "The Golden Compass", the new line was heavily in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy.
It was later wholly acquired by Warner Bros.
Shen Mengxi doesn't have enough money, otherwise, he will have enough money - he needs to bear a debt of 400 million US dollars!
Shen Mengxi wants the rights to several movies on the new line, such as "Return of the Clown", "Rush Hour", "Dumb and Dumb", "Ghost Street", "Death is Coming"...
He actually asked David to participate in the negotiation at that time, for example, the high price is the adaptation rights of those films...
Unfortunately, before he could join in, Warner had already swallowed it all...
Time Warner really isn't short of money!
This incident taught Shen Mengxi not to act blindly!
More than $30 million investment projects, can attract large companies as much as possible...
"The Price of Salt" is a project led by Nancy...
Why did you agree to the project?
Because it's cheap — $15 million in cost.
The main thing, it was not the company's money that was spent, and the Fox searchlight took over ...
Fox Searchlight takes over, which means rushing for the prize...
Maybe I can give the young lady a nomination or something.
It's not the same when you do a TV series!
Basically, you get the TV station, and then you can make money.
"Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is not just about making money...
The game of the same name signed Chen Xiao, Hu Ge, Wang Kai, Zhang Luyi, Wan Qian, Yang Xiaomi, Tong Yali, and Liu Shishi as game promotion ambassadors.
It's clear that the game makes money!
Mutually beneficial...
The popularity of these actors is really skyrocketing!
Then, some sand sculpture dramas, such as "Impeccable Beauty Like a Cloud" and "Impeccable Master Like a Forest"...
Let Hu Ge push it...
The reason is simple, it's too sand sculpture - it's not the urban professional drama I want!
As soon as I heard the title of this play, I knew it was a sand sculpture...
With this title, don't talk about the plot, poison half of the readers first!
Ahem, in fact, these two dramas are quite interesting!
can be called an excellent domestic advertising drama, and the title will tell you, this is a thunder drama!
At least not lying - it's quite thunder!
The sponsor or investor is the shampoo brand - Qingyang!
You see: invulnerable - invulnerable!
People are so sincere here: Lao Tzu is here to sell shampoo.
It's like "The Hunting Ground", a bad drama, the whole film is full of a sense of pretending, and the middle and late stages are not ordinary-I watched "The Hunting Ground" once, and I didn't talk nonsense!
In order to broadcast, it has been delayed and delayed, and it is a trailer and a hype - what is known as rewriting a domestic workplace drama!
Hype yourself up as a fool!
Domestic workplace dramas are not easy to do - resources and results point to sweet pets and IPs that are more likely to explode, and it seems a little thankless to work hard to make workplace dramas...
Then these two dramas can't be cheap outsiders, others are on top - the one who sells shampoo is really rich, the sincerity is too much, not to mention anything else, they offer Hu Ge 180,000 yuan for a single episode!
If Hu Ge doesn't answer, then let Zhang Luyi and Wang Kai go on top...
Especially if the quality of "Master Like a Forest" is not bad, at least it can compete with "Hunting Ground", and there will be absolutely no stage fright!
Hu Ge is probably a magic barrier, and if these two shampoo advertising dramas are pushed, he actually wants to push "Mythology" too...
The reason is that I don't want to act in costume dramas...
Are you sick, you are famous for costume dramas, and you want to transform into other roles that you can play, such as costume dramas...
Why refuse costumes?
Then he was scolded by Li Yiping, obediently took the play, and arranged "The King of Guns" for him by the way - produced by the Emperor, he played the second male lead, replacing Wu Yanzu...
......
No. 28, under the painting of "The Sound of the Wind".
The cumulative box office is 286 million, temporarily ranking third in the year - second to "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" (390 million) and "Ip Man 2" (302 million)...
Shen Mengxi was checking the income, and then was surprised to find that the online copyright had risen to 1.2 million...
Quickly called Song Hang, who said: "The state has begun to crack down on piracy... The price of online rights to movies naturally rises..."
"Okay, don't sell it to LeTV, talk about the rest!"
Song Hang hummed and hung up the phone.
Why not sell to LeEco?
The main thing is that I don't trust Mr. Jia Yueting!
The profit of "The Wind" increased by 1 million...
That's good news.
And then... It is a publicity plan for "Those Years".
This is not the point, the point is Nortel projection...
Is there any mistake?
Shen Mengxi took "Those Years" to Nortel for screening?
will definitely be criticized to death by a bunch of experts and teachers...
The movie was not shown to audiences over 30 years old at all.
It's embarrassing...
- "Those Years" is definitely not a good movie from a purely movie point of view, it belongs to the narration to promote the narrative!
was thinking about whether there was a better way, Liu Yifei knocked on the door and cut off a cup of coffee for him: "My mother wants to see you!"
“... See me, where is she?"
"At home!"
"Does she mean to let me come and visit?"
"She booked a box..."
"Okay, you wait for me to finish!"
Shen Mengxi doesn't care very much, he is not Zhang Yida, the kind of person who vainly tries to eat both mother and daughter...
Be respectful, nothing!
“... Shall I help you choose a set of clothes?"
"Good..."
Lao Liu returned to the bedroom, and Shen Mengxi was ready to continue watching the promotional plan of "Those Years"...
In fact, there is not much he can participate in the promotion of "Those Years" - "Manchester by the Sea" will be released next month, and he has to be busy with public relations.
Even if you can't win the Oscar, it's an honor to get a few nominations.
If you want to reap the honor, you can't be too high, and you can get the necessary activities and award ceremonies.
You have to tell the Oscar judges: I care about this award...
......
There is nothing to write about having dinner with Liu's mother, just one sentence: she wants to accompany her daughter...
Translate: Live with Shen Mengxi!
Can Shen Mengxi refuse?
This thing is not easy to refuse, a single-parent family has depended on each other since childhood, how can Shen Mengxi refuse?
Did he say the outlet?
It's very annoying on Weibo, and there was a scandal that night: Liu Yifei held hands with strangers to go shopping...
Ma Dan, the stranger is Shen Mengxi!
Just these candid shots, like stupid, Shen Mengxi can't recognize them when he wears sunglasses?
Also ran Weibo @ him...
"Thank you for caring about us, but I want to say, next time @ me, can you recognize it first?"
I replied to @his, and by the way, I uploaded a photo of him shopping with his young lady...
