By the way, and Naza...

Her role is to sell cuteness and adjust the atmosphere!

The story itself is a bit pathetic, and it needs to be adjusted by such a character...

didn't arrange a CP for her, just one of her cuteness is enough!

After all, it's not the original time and space, and the honey combination is needed to attract the audience to buy tickets...

At the end of the movie, Nazha followed the director to the stage...

Of course, she is not the protagonist, the protagonists are Zhou Xun, Zhao Bafei, Chen Kun and Wu Ershan!

The first interview with Wu Ershan.

The host confessed: "There were many visual effects blockbusters in Chinese movies before, so have you watched some of these films, and then summed up some lessons from them? For example, the licensed director's "The Legend of Shushan", it may be that the special effects account for too much of it, and everyone says that it is a show off. ”

"I don't study Mandarin as much as I pay more attention to Peter Jackson and James Cameron's films – by the highest standards in the industry. They pay a lot of attention to the story, and the story itself is very clear. Watching "Avatar", everyone says "Ah, 3D!", in fact, it is still a story, its special effects are very restrained, we don't feel tired after sitting for 150 minutes, and it is the story that moves you. ”

"The outline of the story was provided by Mengxi, and I polished the details with the screenwriter team..."

"Did Shen Mengxi have any comments as a producer?"

No, he just said: "Painted Skin II." is facing the most mainstream audience, and it must be a mainstream commercial film of the most popular type, so it has to use a very convenient and smooth way to tell the story, and there is no need to choose a more alternative method. ”

"Because it's a love story, I want it to move the audience on an emotional level. This film form should be very mainstream, and the emotions it conveys also hope to resonate with more people. The tone of Painted Skin II is two words, one is to be "touching" and the other is to be "beautiful", and I want it to convey that feeling. ”

"What does Producer Shen think Director Wu is doing?"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Very good, let's put it this way, I watched "Painted Skin 2" for the first time, and I didn't dare to imagine that this was a film that cost less than 25 million US dollars! Hollywood needs at least 60 million US dollars to make the same effect!"

"It's all the producers who teach well, and he said that Chinese audiences also need more intense and flavorful films. It's always plain and bland, and it's not enjoyable to watch. ”

"When you watch Hollywood movies, how can they be so spectacular, so exciting, so full of entertainment, we should also do our best to mobilize all the feelings of the audience, to experience all the feelings - both beautiful and splendid, but also afraid of danger, this is the joy of watching movies. Mainstream commercial films should be shown in cinemas like a playground, you have to mobilize the psychology of all audiences, let them cry with the story, laugh with the story, worry with it, and be afraid, this is the charm of commercial films. ”

......

This is what Shen Mengxi particularly admires Wu Ershan, Lao Tzu is shooting commercial films!

There's no such thing as a film artist...

The mainstream of Chinese filmmakers is too keen to emphasize and defend their identity as "artists", and they still do not understand or disdain purely commercial films.

Even Xu Zheng flaunts his identity as an artist...

When it comes to "Thai Embarrassment", the word used is 'popcorn comedy'...

It's not that you shouldn't pursue art, but the premise is that you don't always look down on commercial films!

Commercial movies are not so easy, otherwise, Wang Xiaoshuai would not be unable to play.

......

"Painted Skin 2" was unveiled at the Shanghai Film Festival, and the audience applauded several times after the screening!"

""Painted Skin 2" will be released nationwide on the 12th, are you ready?"

""Painted Skin 2" appeared at the Shanghai Film Festival, and everyone praised it: a sincere domestic commercial film!"

Overnight, Sohu, Sina, and especially Weibo were almost all related news about "Painted Skin 2".

Propaganda is really throwing money!

In fact, the promotion of "Painted Skin 2" has been going on, and the main creative team has walked into the campus in various ways...

The Shanghai Film Festival should be the last stop for the promotion of "Painted Skin 2".

Shen Mengxi doesn't need to worry about publicity, Mengxi Company has long been familiar with it!

And the market and theaters are very face-saving, and there is only one "Toy Story 3" in the whole of June that can be called a Hollywood blockbuster, but that thing is an anime movie.

As for "Robin Hood", which was released on the same day, it was basically abandoned by theaters...

Look at the draft: The epic blockbuster "Robin Hood" was screened, and the audience was intoxicated by British culture"...

Revel in a fart!

In the original time and space, there were only 300,000 screenings of "Robin Hood", and the box office did not reach 42 million - Nicolas Cage's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" had 830,000 screenings!

It turns out that the audience is not interested in the so-called British culture!

Wu Ershan, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Zhao Bafeibing divided into two ways and started a two-week roadshow publicity tour.

And Nazha followed the weekly news...

At the end of the screening of "Painted Skin 2", Shen Mengxi wanted to leave, and couldn't resist the warm invitation of the organizer, so he temporarily went to a film industry forum, titled 'The New Frontier of Chinese Film and Hollywood Cooperation', at the Silver Star Crown Hotel.

The festival brought in Robert Pisano, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, as well as Harvey Weinstein, and even Jason Reed, executive vice president of Disney!

The Chinese side has Yu Dong, Feng Xiaogang, Ren Zhonglun...

Now add Shen Mengxi!

In fact, these Hollywood big names came to the festival to sell films, Robert Pisano participated in "Kung Fu Dream", Harvey Weinstein only did "Spy", and Disney's Jason Reed had "Toy Story 3"

......

When Shen Mengxi arrived, it was just in time for Feng Xiaogang to bombard Harvey:

"I have to tell you about Harvey, who often deals with Chinese filmmakers, and his usual trick is to buy the rights to the North American distribution of our films. He bid 8 million at the beginning, and others didn't grab it from him when they saw it.

He gave a deposit of $200,000 at the time, and when the filming was finally finished, he said I don't want this movie, return it, and it will be too late if you want to sell it to others. When he looks for you at this time, he will pay $1 million. This is Harvey Weinstein, and how many Chinese producers used to think of him as a savior, and now they all shake their heads when they talk about it, liar. ”

Shen Mengxi said with a smile: "Director Feng is right, let me add, the American film industry will tell each other, your film has been returned, and if you want to sell it again, it will be very difficult! "Wu Ji" was finally sold to Netflix, and it was only released in 66 theaters for a month, and then the DVD was released..."

Host He Ping asked: "Producer Shen often deals with Hollywood, right?"

“... Sort of!"

"Then how do you think we can strengthen Sino-US film cooperation?"

“... It's very difficult, at the beginning of the year, I was in the United States to PR "Manchester by the Sea", and I contacted many heads of North American film companies, who were very interested in the Chinese market, but they were only interested in it, and they didn't understand anything!"

"Don't understand anything?"

"It's that the China in their eyes is very different from the actual China, for example, the boss of Legendary Pictures asked me to make a monster film, I asked him how to cooperate with China and the United States, and he told me that a European mercenary helped the Chinese people fight monsters... I asked him what the difference was between this and The Mummy 3..."

"Don't expect European and American filmmakers to take the initiative to shoot Chinese themes, even if they do, it's "The King of Kung Fu" - white Americans save China! We want you to save it?"

"The movie I have seen in North America that can restore Chinese culture is still "Dragon Species" filmed in the last century, a work written by Pearl Race, which basically restores the rural environment in the south of China!"

"And what are your plans?"

“... We are subdividing the overseas Chinese region and preparing to release films to these groups in a planned manner!"
