Chapter 92: Ignorance
Actually, if Jiang Nan is kicked out, Shen Mengxi and Chen Liming are quite complementary!
One is in charge of production, the other is in charge of PR...
Each gives full play to its advantages, and the final effect is absolutely 1+1>2!
But with a woman, it's not the same...
The fat man has soft ears, in comparison, of course, he believes in the pillow person!
"People in Embarrassment" is tentatively scheduled for November 29th, just avoiding "Die Hard 4", and grabbing half a month before the release of "Casting a Name"...
The schedule is very good!
The problem is, if the theater chain doesn't support it, everything will be in vain!
"But you don't have a star in this movie..."
"How can you say that there are no stars, Wang Baoqiang is so popular now, Xu Sanduo, occupying the first place in Baidu hotspots for three consecutive months, can you still find a star who is more popular than Wang Baoqiang?"
"Soldier Assault" is on fire, and it is even more popular...
How popular is Xu Sanduo?
To put it mildly, it's not weaker than Little Swallow!
"That's it, Mr. Chen, as long as the theater gives us more than 50% of the film schedule, we will rebate 2% at that time!"
“2%... It's too little..."
"What does Mr. Chen mean?"
"At least five points!"
Chen Liming is a little embarrassed...
The producer is already weak, and can only account for 37% of the account, which will cost 5%?
"Mr. Chen, there are five bottles of wine, I'll kill one bottle, let's reduce one point, what do you think?"
“... Okay, I'd like to see how much you drink!"
Fat Chen gritted his teeth, directly raised his neck, grunted, and poured himself a bottle of XO...
Then under the coaxing of the person next to him, he picked up another bottle...
I'm from the Northeast, and everyone in the Northeast can drink it!
Of course, I squatted on the road with Shen Mengxi, drank 12 bottles of beer with two skewers...
Isn't it just XO...
Half an hour later, Fat Chen was helped into the room by the assistant - drunk and unconscious!
I didn't receive a call from Jiang Nan at all...
The latter did not guarantee Liu Yifei that she could star in the American version of "Rose Red Lotus"...
"At least the female number two!"
“... Female number two is a child..."
"Then the female number one, or let Mengxi change the script!"
Jiang Nan looked indifferent...
Liu Yifei was speechless: "I heard that Shen Mengxi is just a script consultant, and he doesn't seem to have the right to modify the script... Moreover, since it is the American version, it must be starring Americans!"
"The King of Kung Fu is also a Hollywood movie, why can you be used as the heroine?"
“... It's a kung fu movie, it's different..."
"I'll leave this matter to me, I'll run it!"
Jiang Nan is still very confident.
......
Chen Fatzi drank so much that he almost vomited blood, and the assistant secretly told Shen Mengxi, who directly stopped what he was doing and rushed directly to Beijing.
The fat man is recuperating at home...
“... In the future, this kind of thing of running the theater line will be handed over to the company's public relations department, otherwise, what is the point of us setting up a public relations department? Let them get their salaries for nothing?"
"Didn't I think it would be more sincere for me to accompany the wine in person..."
"The PR department is full of seasoned models, and they go better than you!"
“... They followed..."
“... Let me tell you that it is a market economy now, as long as we can win 20% of the film schedule, I dare to guarantee that the box office of this film will not be less than 50 million!"
"20% of them have to run... We've only been separated from "Die Hard 4" for two weeks..."
"Aren't we cooperating with China Film, the distribution work will be handed over to them, the third master is very important to us now, and 20% of the film schedule will definitely be willing to give!"
Shen Mengxi peeled an apple: "Give..."
"What's going on with "Painted Skin"?"
"It's almost over, and there's still a little bit of trivial footage..."
Chen Liming paused for a moment: "Oh... Thank you for your hard work!"
"What do I have to work hard for... I'm going to the U.S. next week, and I'm going to South Korea..."
"When I went to the United States, I knew that the American version of "Rose Red Lotus" was going to be filmed, why did you go to South Korea?"
"Our screenwriter's studio wrote a TV series called "The Temptation of Wife", after it was broadcast, the response was okay, and now I have to watch the supporting role..."
“... Screenwriter's studio?"
“... It was I who wrote the outline, and they were responsible for filling in the content, if the response to "The Temptation of the Wife" in South Korea is good, I am ready to change it to the national version, and then find a TV station to cooperate in filming..."
"Just looking for a TV station?"
Shen Mengxi nodded: "This is a long-form series of about 100 episodes, without the support of the TV station, I don't dare to set up a project!"
Chen Liming asked embarrassedly: "... Naming Creek..."
Shen Mengxi smiled: "If you are willing to invest, of course I welcome it." ”
The fat man changed the subject: "... Have you gone to see Zhou Jielun's "The Secret That Can't Be Said"?"
"How do I have time..."
"It was a good shot... But, to be honest, I was quite surprised that it didn't reach the box office of 40 million..."
"Surprised?"
"Zhou Jielun's fans are too bad to play, so they should break 100 million!"
"The fan economy is not mature enough now, and I don't think the publicity has kept up, otherwise, it will break 100 million yuan for you in minutes!"
The two of them were chatting, and Jiang Nan hurriedly pushed them in: "Liming..."
"Ah, Mengxi, you're here too!"
Shen Mengxi beckoned, "Sister Nan..."
"How can you drink like that? I heard that you poured three bottles of XO in one go? Do you want to die?"
"I'm not here to run the theater..."
"That's not going to work, you're not allowed to drink in the future..."
The two had an intimate exchange time, Shen Mengxi was too lazy to eat dog food, and looked at the time: "Liming, Sister Nan, I'll go first..."
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the crew, I'm here on leave!"
"Didn't you say the filming was almost over?"
"There's some footage left, I'll have to follow..."
As he spoke, Shen Mengxi got up, took back his coat from the hanger, and prepared to go out.
Jiang Nan called out to him: "Mengxi..."
"What's wrong?"
"You're going to the United States to produce "Rose Red Lotus"?"
"It's not a producer, it's a script consultant, and the American version has been renamed "Uninvited", "The Uninvited"..."
Jiang Nan interrupted him and asked directly, "Then can you arrange a role for Liu Yifei?"
Shen Mengxi looked at Jiang Nan speechlessly: "Sister Nan, you also think too highly of me, the so-called script consultant is the meaning of script reference, my role is just to collide with the screenwriters in the United States to collide ideas, casting this kind of thing, I can't get involved!"
"You just make a suggestion..."The King of Kung Fu" casting, Liu Yifei was also recommended, and then won the role!"
Shen Mengxi didn't bother to take care of her: "... I'm leaving, fatty, tell her!"
From behind him, Chen Fatzi's voice taught his daughter-in-law: "You don't follow and make trouble! Have you ever seen an American movie with an Asian as the protagonist?"
"Why is it called the American version, that is, the cast is all American, and they can't use Asians!"
"Since it's impossible, Mengxi went to talk about this, isn't it disgusting!"
Jiang Nan: "But she is Liu Yifei! After the release of "The King of Kung Fu", she must be well-known in the United States..."
"It's useless even Gong Li! This is the rule! Can you read some books, don't take it for granted?"
