To be precise, in the best-selling field, Guo Jingming and Han Han are much more famous than Shen Mengxi!

"Phantom City" and "Triple Gate" are how many people's childhood memories.

After Shen Mengxi's "Ghost Blows the Lantern" was written, it was rarely published, basically when the movie was released, it was published, such as "Those Years", "My Girlhood", "Twenty Years Old", "Donkey Gets Water"...

It's not that he wrote it, he's just a name, and there really is a team behind it!

It's conventional...

Therefore, after "Ghost Blows the Lamp", he never attended any signing meetings - he can't be too shameless.

However, questioning Han Han's representative...

I probably only read his blog, but I haven't read "Just Floating Around" and "1988, I Want to Talk to the World"...

Someone said 'so many writers all over the world.' Why don't others question it. Only questioned Han Han. Han Han, you have the ability to publish a book that can slap the questioner's face!"

According to this logic: There are so many writers in the world, why can't others learn to find someone to ghostwrite, but Han Han alone can?

'I don't have as much money as Han Han, and I don't have a good father as Han Han. Naturally, I can't find a ghostwriter!'

In this case: 'Then the sons of all famous writers in China have a good father, how can they not be Han Han?'

Faced with elbows' doubts, Han Han was temporarily tired of coping, and he didn't have time to think about the movie...

......

At the airport, Nancy is explaining why "The Hunt" can't be released in June...

"The existence of the awards season itself is to give these high-quality independent films a living space, and generally films that are interested in winning awards will be released after more than 10 years, and the release time is too early, and it is difficult for the film to enjoy the dividends brought by the awards season, such as film critics' tap water, etc., which is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the long-term market by itself..."

"In the summer season full of gunpowder, using such a movie to "collide" with mainstream commercial blockbusters is tantamount to suicide!"

“... Unless the movie can get a reputation against the sky, Buddha Ze, wait to be sniped by other movies!"

Shen Mengxi nodded in understanding: "I also made a decision as soon as my brain was hot, let's revise the release date as you said, in fact, I think "Help" is also quite suitable for the awards season!"

Nancy shook her head: "Actually, our test screening has already said the answer, "Help" seriously weakened the racial conflict at the time, and it was a film that made white audiences feel good about themselves..."

"Help" is a film about racial conflicts in the southern region of the United States in the 60s.

Starring Emma Stone, the whole story revolves around her interviewing black maids to describe the white world through their eyes...

That's right, "Gone with the Wind" is suspected of insulting black people...

"Help" is clearly not politically correct enough!

"We decided to release it in August, and when the summer blockbusters are almost done..."

"Well, I'm okay with that. ”

Small and medium-sized companies in the United States are very miserable, and large factories rely on the globalization strategy to sit in a near-monopoly position, rolling out various big IPs around the world and promoting the standard genre of the industrialization system;

Small and medium-sized independent studios are constantly compressing their market share, so that they either give up some independent expressions, or turn to small costs, hoping to "survive in the cracks"...

Small companies don't make commercial films that can sell well, they go to all kinds of literary films, small fresh movies, it's good to survive, let alone want to grow, and the business idea determines that it can only be a small company!

Bren House is not this kind of road, it takes the route of series circle money.

""Rise of the Planet of the Apes" should be released in July, and I will notify Yifei when the time comes, so that she can come over and participate in the promotion..."

"Hmm... You help find it again, and there is a suitable opportunity for her to make a few more big productions. ”

Nancy nodded, "I understand!"

When the time came, Shen Mengxi said goodbye and got on the plane...

......

As of May 25, the cumulative box office of "Painted Skin 3" has reached 720 million, although the single-day box office has dropped to less than 1 million, and the film schedule has also been squeezed out by the three newly released Hollywood blockbusters.

Why are you doing it, it's just a "Painted Skin", and you can use three blockbusters together?

First on May 12, "Thor", "Fast and Furious 5", and then on May 20, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4"...

It's not over, on May 28, "Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released!

I feel like Hollywood blockbusters encircle and suppress "Painted Skin 3"...

Fortunately, a gap of 16 days was reserved, although there was "Guan Yunchang" to stir up the situation...

But in these 16 days, "Painted Skin 3" has won 580 million box office.

720 million!

The new record, Mengxi Company is very satisfied.

What's more, it hasn't been released yet, and it's still writing box office records...

Of course, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", which will be released next month, has a chance to break the record again.

Mengxi Company's official Weibo solemnly announced: "Painted Skin 3" is followed by the end of the "Painted Skin" series, if you want to continue to watch, we will release a "Painted Skin Prequel"...

That's right, after market research, it was found that the audience doesn't seem to care much about special effects or anything, what they prefer is the atmosphere of three actors together!

That's easy, let's talk to them again...

You say salary?

"The Prequel of Painted Skin" is purely a circle of money, just a passable story, the three actors are all producers, with a basic salary of 2 million, in addition, each person enjoys 8-20% of the profit sharing...

Note that it is profit, that is, the benefit after deducting the cost!

Tiered Split Agreement...

Of course, this is only the drafting stage, and they don't agree with it...

After Shen Mengxi returned to China, the first thing he did was "The Prequel of Painted Skin".

It was Song Hang who proposed it, and Shen Mengxi nodded first: "Very good..."

Then he said: "Since it's a prequel, let's change the role!"

"Huh?

“... They are all in their thirties, and no matter how much makeup they make, they can't go back to their teens, and changing people is the best way... By the way, just invite them to make a cameo!"

"Cameo?"

Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment: "It seems unlikely that a free cameo will be possible, so let's allow them to account for 15% of the investment..."

"Wouldn't 15% be too much?"

"It's a bit much, then 10%, let them negotiate the specific share..."

Only then did Song Hang understand that the 10% that Shen Mengxi said was the share of three actors plus one...

Shen Mengxi frowned: "10% is a lot, "Painted Skin 3" is just the mainland box office share + overseas copyright income, we will earn at least 300 million, and one percentage point is 3 million!"

“... Okay, I'll talk..."

"Go ahead..."

Turning his head to look at Song Hang, the latter seemed to have something to do, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Why should Mingxi develop the series "Little Times"?"

“... This kind of fan type movie, we don't do it appropriately. ”

"Fan genre movies?"

"It's just... A movie made to cater to fans of an idol only has a must-see significance for a specific group of people, and most viewers think it's a bad movie, but they think it's a masterpiece..."

"Honey of A, arsenic of B?"

"Yes, that's what it means!"
