When the reporter left, Chen Guangming proposed: "Mengxi, do you want to contact the TV station and make a special clarification? CCTV has a lot of cooperation with us!"

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "No, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is originally a novel with strong entertainment and commercial nature, let them scold it... It's really not good, I'll explain it on the show... It shouldn't be banned, right?"

Chen Guangming: "How is it possible, this is a novel that got the edition number!"

"Then it's okay, eat first!"

Now the tomb robbery genre novel, "Ghost Blows the Lamp", is not a popular theme, and it does not have that much influence...

Experts, especially archaeological experts, are not easy, most of the motto of those who study archaeology is the phrase 'sit on the bench for ten years', and they rush to join the camp of criticizing the 'tomb robbery' genre novel, which can be regarded as generating income for them!

Shen Mengxi never thought that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" could be recognized by the mainstream, take a Lu Xun Award, Mao Dun Award or something, entertainment is entertainment, professional is professional, there is no need to squeeze in and mix it up...

A group of people arrived at the restaurant and ordered good food, Chen Guangming said: "By the way, the Korean version of "Rose Red Lotus" has been listed, and it sells very well..."

Shen Mengxi: "Of course, this story itself is a reference to the popular Korean folk novel "The Legend of the Rose Flower and Red Lotus", which is a story in the "Jiazhai Collection", which seems to have been handed down during the reign of Hyojong of the Joseon Dynasty..."

By the way, he added: "I'll tell you the truth, this story has been adapted from a Korean movie from the beginning..."

“... You can help me keep an eye on it and see if there is any Korean film director who is interested in "Rose Red Lotus". ”

"Okay, but aren't you selling the rights to film and television adaptation?"

"It's okay, I'm selling adaptations in China, is there a global adaptation right!"

"The adaptation rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", are you really not selling?"

"I also invest in film and television, why sell it to others?"

"That's Warner!"

“... Let's eat!"

Shen Mengxi didn't bother to say it again...

And people only pay lip service to it, but do not put it into action.

......

Shen Mengxi pondered his own film investment path, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt that it was more appropriate to start with comedy.

It's impossible to make a blockbuster, if you don't pay attention, tens of millions of dollars will be lost...

West Film Studio never dared to invest in big productions because of the loss of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", and almost lost its foundation, and then could only rely on "Journey to the West" to continue its life, and all kinds of re-screenings of "Journey to the West"...

If you think about it, even the Western Film Studio can't afford to toss, let alone Shen Mengxi!

Comedy, it has to be a low-budget comedy...

Only Ning Hao and Xu Zheng can use it!

He wants to vote for Feng Xiaogang, will people take him to play?

Of course, for the time being, film investment is only a side line, and the main line is still a TV series!

For no other reason, movies don't make money.

After "People in Embarrassment", he will not be investing in movies with his own money...

When he becomes famous, it is natural that a bunch of people will find him with money...

There will also be a bunch of girls with excellent looks looking for him, saying, 'Uncle Shen, I don't want to work hard'...

Tsk, it's exciting to think about!

Keep your own money to buy a house and wait for appreciation!

The start is very important, the original time and space, "Stone" sold 25 million, Shen Mengxi felt that he could work hard, use some means, promote a wave more, and increase the box office by 10 million to 20 million...

Why do you pay so much attention to Stone?

This movie was related to the later "People in Embarrassment", "Stone" was a big hit, and "People in Embarrassment" saved at least half of the publicity.

......

Shi Jingshan, Mingxi Studio, Shen Mengxi met Ning Hao and Xu Zheng...

first talked about the publicity plan of "Crazy Stone": "I have already arranged it over there, and the premiere will be held in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and Andy Lau also said that he will participate in the whole process!"

"We've negotiated with several TV stations, and we'll report on it when the time comes... Several Internet media outlets will also give some coverage..."

"What they said was that on the premise that the quality of the movie is passable..."The quality of "Stone", I don't think everyone has any opinion!"

Of course, the most important means: buy a box office of 2 million to 3 million on the first weekend...

The momentum was brought out on the first weekend!

I don't need to tell Ning Hao about this...

"What time exactly?"

"November 10th..."

Ning Hao looked at Xu Zheng, who said: "Isn't it inappropriate, "Miami Vice" will be released on the 3rd..."

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "That movie is very rubbish, it's not worth mentioning at all!"

"Miami Once", a very vulgar story of the police catching thieves, the only highlight is Gonghuang's bed battle, which is actually very weak, far less than "Zhou Yu's Train"...

It was even cut with big scissors, it's really...

In November, there will be 11 movies, and "The Ballad of Yunshui" will be released at the end of the month.

As for "Golden Milk", it was the December 14th movie!

Twenty days is enough time to make the box office of "Stone" reach 40 million!

"But..."

"It's nothing good, China Film will focus on promoting "Crazy Stone", let's just do a good job of publicity..."

Shen Mengxi waved his hand, looked at Xu Zheng, and asked, "How do you feel about "People in Embarrassment?"

“... I'm a little worried. ”

"Worried about what?"

"Box office..."

"No, you're a director, you're responsible for making movies according to the script, and it's our business to sell movies, and it has nothing to do with you... Have you contacted Wang Baoqiang?"

"He agreed to act, with a salary of 60,000 yuan..."

"That's cheap..."

That's right, although "Soldier Assault" has been broadcast, it has only been broadcast on local satellite TV, and it has not yet been on the stars, and Wang Baoqiang has not yet left a name with Xu Sanduo...

His current code name is Shunyo, no, it's a stupid root!

"Location scouting, filming and casting, you can catch it, Ning Hao, you are the producer, help him check it..."

“... Shall we choose a famous actor?"

Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes: "Shall I get Zhao Wei and Zhang Ziyi for you?"

"Let's only get 4 million, where can we get a famous actor?"

“... I mean, invite them to make a cameo based on the script..."

"Isn't that a favor..."Before saying this, Shen Mengxi's eyes lit up and nodded: "Okay, I'll try..."

Xu Zheng was about to say something, the vice president of Mingxi Studio, Wang Zili trotted open the door of the conference room: "Mr. Shen!"

Shen Mengxi was impatient: "... What's the matter?"

Didn't see him in a meeting...

"I just received a call, South Korea's Xijie Entertainment said that it is very interested in "Rose Red Lotus" and is ready to buy the adaptation rights!"

“... Are you sure it's Xijie Entertainment and not Banner Entertainment?"

Banner Entertainment is a newly emerging film production company in South Korea in recent years, which has cooperated with many famous directors and independently invested in "Hyoja-dong Barbershop", "Han River Monster", and of course, Kim Ji-yun's "The Truth Revealed" and "Sweet Life"...

Later this company was acquired by Rakuten...

Of course, Shen Mengxi hopes that Jin Zhiyun will direct "Rose Red Lotus"...

“... It's Xijie Entertainment..."

"Xijie Entertainment... Okay, when are they coming to China?"

"It should arrive the day after tomorrow!"

“... I'm going to Shanghai the day after tomorrow for a book signing, so they can come back another day!"
