Chen Liming was particularly nervous during this time.

Blowing "Crazy Stone" on various occasions, blowing about his friendship with Shen Mengxi...

He likes to pretend to be forced too much, far beyond Shen Mengxi!

It was he who took the initiative to tear up Li Shaohong at the beginning, and then led to Shen Mengxi's response...

"Stone" was a big hit, and the investment of five million was at least doubled!

Among the movies released this year, the return on investment is the highest, the key, and the movie reputation is also very good!

Why don't you hurry up and pretend to be forced?

Regardless of the occasion, regardless of who the other party is!

Arrogant one...

Left a bunch of classic quotes: 'The success of a movie is the right time and place, and chance and necessity coexist!'

'The small success does things, the big success is a person, I am just doing what I like, and if I go in the right direction, I will keep going'

"For ordinary audiences, movies are first and foremost a story, and our fifth generation is immersed in image aesthetics and can't extricate themselves, while the sixth generation will only make some themes that ordinary audiences will not be interested in at all, and there should be some storytelling movies!"

"In terms of return on investment alone, we have already won blockbusters such as "Night Banquet", "Huo Yuanjia", and "Ink Attack"!'

I always feel that our understanding of co-productions is a bit misunderstood, CEPA stipulates that the proportion of mainland actors in co-productions must be at least one-third of the main actors, and then, they really select the number of people according to the ratio of one-third, why can't they play supporting roles?'

'Why? Why do we want them to enjoy supra-national treatment if we contribute both money and work?'

'Our best actors give them supporting roles, and as soon as this head is opened, they will slowly get used to it in the future, and they all feel that the mainland goods are worthless. I don't think that's good, the movie we produce, the starring role must be our own people, you can rest assured!"

It sparked a lot of discussion...

That's why Southern Weekly sent an interview request.

Although I don't know who cut him off, Chen Liming's displeasure is certain!

Who cut off the beard, as soon as you inquire about this matter, you can know that Shen Mengxi is now a celebrity in the publishing industry, let's put it this way, if he wants, he can make his own publication, specializing in serializing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and find a few promising writers, just like the most novel founded by Xiao Si!

It's not that I don't have time, and the energy required to do publishing is not weaker than making movies!

But what's the use of knowing who's cutting off the beard?

The most fundamental reason is that my side is not strong enough!

If it's awesome enough, who would dare to ignore Chen Liming?

So how can you prove your strength?

Make a blockbuster!

In today's world, being able to make blockbusters shows that you have the ability, and even the theater chain is three points high.

The question is, where does the money come from?

Chen Liming asked directly: "Didn't you say that we can't afford to play blockbusters?"

"yes, so this time I'm going to bring in a few investors to play with!"

"Pull in investors?"

"What do you think I've been doing these days?"

Shen Mengxi explained: "The resources of China Film are all in "Red Cliff", the money of the West Film Studio is not enough, but the brand is loud, and the only one who has money is Shangying, let's pull the West Film and Shangying, and find a few more masters, won't a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan come!"

Makes sense.

There is no need to spend your own money to invest in movies, and the major Hollywood studios never spend their own money to make blockbusters...

After "Stone", no matter what the industry says about Mingxi Company, at least the outside world still values this small company very much, otherwise, Shen Mengxi would not have the opportunity to eat seafood at night...

It is unlikely that they will pay 100 million at a time, you can make it into a flower first, and then invite them to invest...

The way to pit investors is gone!

It used to be just not rare!

Chen Liming asked: "... So what are we going to shoot?"

Shen Mengxi said with a smile: ""Painted Skin, let's pick up the story of "Liao Zhai"!"

......

There are no blockbusters in Shen Mengxi's plan!

That's why he said 'blockbusters can't save Chinese movies'...

Isn't it, a good friend is looked down upon...

Shen Mengxi has been mixed for so many years, and the most important rule is to be righteous!

If this happened to him, he would probably endure it - anyway, there are thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi...

However, the fat man was ignored...

It feels different!

Isn't it just to make blockbusters, who wouldn't know?

The so-called blockbuster is not a big star, a big director, and a big production!

When it comes to blockbusters, Shen Mengxi's first thought is "Painted Skin"...

Without him, this film made money.

And created the oriental ghost theme!

Report at the time: Breaking 100 million in six days, breaking 200 million in 19 days, making a lot of money!

He was very impressed by "Painted Skin", which rewrote the history of co-productions - mainland actors occupied the mainstream of co-production films and became a new trend!

Before "Painted Skin", no mainland actor had ever played the male lead in a co-production...

Even Brother Xiao Ming can only play the anti-number one for Brother Guanxi in "Sharpshooter"!

This kind of big event that changes the pattern, of course Shen Mengxi has to participate!

Mature commercial blockbuster, there are no major loopholes in the plot, a typical Kassandra-style tragedy, at the very beginning, the monster killing thing is put out, one side keeps revealing the truth, the other party does not believe it, the rhythm is very steady...

Is Shen Mengxi's operation of this matter reliable?

It's hard to say, unless you can invite top actors to join!

With his current influence, it's a little hard...

To operate such a movie, it is best to invite a big producer, the original time and space, and the role played by Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Studio, who has always liked the theme of oriental gods and ghosts...

This time, Shen Mengxi was also ready to look for him.

With the blessing of the official background, it's good to make a fuss!

Otherwise, this kind of theme of playing side balls will be banned directly from you.

......

Shen Mengxi said his thoughts again, mentioning that he was invited to Chen Kun, Zhao Buffett, Zhou Xun, and Wu Jing, Chen Liming was a little hesitant...

"What's the matter, I have something to say!"

“... Do you want to hire a Hong Kong actor?"

"It's not you who blew it yourself, 'The movie we produce, the starring role must be our own people'!"

Chen Liming touched his nose embarrassedly: "... You've read the report..."

"Nonsense!"

“... But with such a big investment, there is no Hong Kong star..."

"A theme like "Painted Skin" is naturally insulated from awards, and it is impossible to win the Academy Awards, since you can't win the Academy Awards, there is no need to make a co-production..."

"I'm worried that I won't be able to attract investment!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll do it, and the next time I'm interviewed, you will say that we are planning a big production with an investment of at least $20 million!"

“... So who are you looking for as a director?"

“...”

This stumped Shen Mengxi...

Where can I find a tool director who is both famous and willing to listen honestly to the mercy?
