As mentioned earlier, a film and television company has developed and grown, contacts, resources, directors and whatever...

With such a correspondence, Mingxi doesn't seem to have anything...

But he has Shen Mengxi!

He can take on a project as big as "Painted Skin" alone!

To be honest, Chen Liming sometimes has a little weakness in the face of Shen Mengxi, and the entire Mingxi Company is basically down by him - "Double-sided Tape" and "Crazy Stone" are all investments he advocates for...

Chen Liming was responsible for shouting two sentences...

Of course, he knew Shen Mengxi and knew that he didn't have so many ideas.

At first, I probably just wanted to eat with a mouthful of food...

But now it's different...

"Painted Skin", he can bring in 100 million funds, and the whole crew at the party just now is completely centered on him...

Chen Liming felt a little lost...

He is also the producer of "Painted Skin"!

But only a little.

Shen Mengxi let him speak freely at tomorrow's press conference!

It's finally time for a pleasant spit and installation!

I called a few familiar media in advance, learned about the issues they were more concerned about, and then thought about how to answer...

Jiang Nan came home and saw his man sitting on the desk very rarely, writing something hard...

Very gratifying!

......

With such a big investment in "Painted Skin", of course, the bigger the launch conference, the better!

Of course, this thing is a big deal for the company, but for many media reporters, it is nothing more than confirming the main creator, the start-up time, as well as introducing the background and investment overview, and blowing the box office by the way...

Fixed process!

Nothing interesting.

But there is no news recently, except for Yang Lijuan's star-chasing and Chen Xiaoxu's death, there is nothing to report...

It's just coming.

Mingxi Company gives a lot of carriage and horse fares!

Just run an errand for the red envelope!

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Hong of "Entertainment Weekly" arrived at a hotel on the edge of the second ring road and went straight to the conference hall on the third floor.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere was strange: this place was spacious!

Usually when a new film is released, it is already a big deal to invite dozens of companies, but look at it now, good guys, there are dozens of rows of chairs neatly stacked, and there is still a lot of space left for photojournalists in the back.

Is this to be made to a high specification?

"I really didn't expect that the e-magazine founded by Xu Jinglei didn't make any noise!"

"I told you a long time ago that she just came out by force, and she caught up with someone!"

A few entertainment notes next to him were complaining about Xu Cainu's establishment of an electronic magazine, and it is said that Wang Shuo was brought in, but a few copies were not sold...

A talented woman who can't sell books?

"Okay, don't say a word, look at this posture, it's amazing today. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I've heard that. An investment of more than 100 million is really a big deal. ”

"I heard that it is developed in conjunction with a game company?

Talking about this, everyone is silent.

Sign in one by one to receive red envelopes, and then sit in your seat.

Li Hong was the same, silent, and sat in the fourth row with his seniors...

After a while, Wei Wuchang walked in, and then a bunch of familiar entertainers surrounded him, knowing his relationship with Mingxi, and inquiring a little bit about the inside story in advance.

Wei Wuchang only said, 'Today will definitely make your trip worthwhile.' ’

......

At half past nine, the press conference started on time.

The entire conference room was packed.

There were long guns and short cannons in the back, and the entertainers were whispering, and with the appearance of the host, the audience was quiet.

"Thank you all for coming to the press conference, and we will first invite the film's starring, director and other key people behind the scenes!"

The actors appeared one by one.

"Weekly News!"

"Chen Kun!"

"Huang Xiaoming!"

“... Zhao Wei!"

it...

Four first-line actors, on the same stage?

Is this "Night Banquet"?

The entertainers in the audience were stunned, and for a long time, they quickly applauded.

Yes, in recent years, with the fame of the four major Hua Dan, it is rare for the four Hua Dan to compete on the same stage.

There is a small exception to last year's "Night Banquet", and the international chapter partner is weekly...

Compared with the two of them, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming's popularity is not very high...

There are all kinds of commotions among reporters, and when they see this lineup, they have a bunch of questions to ask...

"Next is director Wu Ershan, our producer Shen Mengxi, producer Chen Liming and the other two leading actors..."

After everyone was unveiled, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

The first to stand up was a reporter with glasses, who was obviously very interested in Wu Ershan: "I want to ask the director, what kind of genre does the play "Painted Skin" belong to?

Wu Ershan replied: "Oriental magic theme! We have made a certain adaptation on the basis of the original work, after all, an investment of more than 100 million yuan must be reviewed first..."

"Was Painted Skin your first film?"

"Yes, the first theatrical film, I made short films before..."

"It's the first time I've directed, and I've been able to direct a drama with such a big investment... What do you think attracted the producers?"

Shen Mengxi took over the topic: "It's more appropriate for me to answer this question." ”

"Tell me..."

"In fact, the reason for doing "Painted Skin" is very simple, I have seen enough so-called Chinese blockbusters, and some directors who have become famous are no longer attractive to me in terms of the treatment of the subject matter or their understanding of the film, so I must find a young director, and it must be a director from the mainland, only a mainland director will work the core of culture. ”

"I chatted with Wu Ershan for a few words, and then decided on him, and he said it very well, commercial films are never about individual creation, but about turning individual ideas into collective intelligence. It's obviously a very simple truth, but many of our big directors just don't understand! If you invest hundreds of millions of dollars, you won't be able to show yourself, you can show yourself, and you can use your own money!"

The entertainers in the audience have memorized this sentence and are ready to write it into their reports.

The next step was to ask questions about the actors, and most of them were kind, asking questions like 'Why did you decide to star in this movie?'.

Of course, there are also deliberate provocatives, for example, Wei Wuchang directly asked, 'An investment of 100 million, without using Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, don't you worry about the market?'

Okay, it's time for Chen Liming to play!

"Why worry about the market? We have a good story, a very professional team, very good actors, and I don't think there is a reason for this film to fail. ”

"But the actors you use don't have box office appeal!"

"Please tell me more about it!"

"Zhao Wei, she is a famous box office poison!"

Chen Liming 'rolled his eyes': "I really don't know where you media found the news, the box office of "Lover's Knot" was 6 million, which was the highest box office of Valentine's Day that year, the box office of "Green Tea" was 9 million, the runner-up of Chinese films in the mainland summer file, "Jade Guanyin" released a DVD on the first day of release, and also won 9 million box office, what do you want to drop?"

"Zhang Ziyi's "Purple Butterfly" won less than 3 million at the box office, and her salary alone is 4 million, why don't you say that she is box office poison?"

"I don't even want to check the information, and I will be poisoned at the box office at every turn..."

Shen Mengxi quietly patted Chen Liming's thigh, and the latter shut up...

At the scene, including on stage, everyone looked at Fat Chen, especially Buffett Zhao, who was about to cry...

God is pitiful, she is too aggrieved by the reputation of 'box office poison'!

Not to mention anything else, when "Lover's Knot" was released, Brother Xun had two movies "Beauty Still" and "Mandarin Duck Butterfly" collided with her, and the box office of the two movies plus one did not beat "Lover's Knot"...

This is also called box office poison?
