"I now feel that whether it is a movie, a TV series or a stage play, the form is not so important, but more important is what the script expresses!"

"I used to like to watch literary films, I thought it was really art, and I also complained that the General Administration restricted art and affected the director's expression... Later, I slowly matured, and I also started to make movies, and I felt that many times, these people were just intoxicated with themselves... Cinema is popular art!

On December 28, 1895, the film was shown for the first time in a café in Paris, with the Lumière brothers' The Arrival of the Train. On this afternoon, the Lumière brothers also screened several of their own works, and this day became the birth day of cinema. However, there was a 1 franc screening fee for entering the café that afternoon. ”

"In other words, since the birth of film art, there has been a commercial gene in it, and it is just a gadget that Lumière uses to make money!"

"So, a movie with personal expression like "The King's Feast", which is destined not to please the market, this paragraph, I hope you write it in its original form, and it is best to show it to Senior Lu Chuan..."

"Isn't it important that person expresses it?"

"Of course it's important, but there must be a scale, at least it can't occupy the mainstream, I make movies, if a director comes to me and says, 'I want to make a film with a sense of stage', guess how I answer?"

"Outright refusal?"

"That's not going to happen," Shen Mengxi continued: "If the sense of form is really novel, I will suggest that he directly change it into a stage play or drama, and then perform it in the theater!"

Two days ago, Shen Mengxi went to watch a "King's Feast" - a chartered audience, and he was the only audience in the audience, and the young lady didn't want to come!

To put it simply, the plot of "The King's Feast" is the story of Liu Bang teaming up with Empress Lu, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He to kill Han Xin. There are also some basic feelings with Xiang Yu interspersed in the middle'...

But Shen Mengxi is all kinds of irritability!

At first glance, it seems to be a flashback, but after a flashback, it seems to start interpolating again, and there seems to be a second layer of flashbacks in the flashback story...

It's annoying to watch.

I don't understand what Lu Chuan wants to express at all!

Immersed in your own world, you can't extricate yourself...

"I just calculated, if there are such dividends, won't the company make less money?"

"It's not... First of all, no one dares to guarantee that their films will make money... The dividend model first guarantees the interests of the film producer. Our so-called dividends are the dividends after the film becomes profitable!"

"But you said that you want to take two billion for the Chinese New Year!"

"I'm blowing it too, and I'm mainly angry..."

"Is it because of the dispute over account sharing?"

"Yes... It's almost all talked, in fact, on the 23rd, China Film has signed new account-sharing contracts with more than 20 cinema chains, including Golden Harvest Cinema Line... Everyone thinks it's a show... But on the 25th, Huayi temporarily turned back, causing the last moment to fall short..."

"So, you're pressing his schedule?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "This is really not, our Golden Harvest films, all of them are based on the analysis of the movie theme by the theater manager, and by the way, refer to the data provided by Maoyan Ticketing and Guevara Online Ticket Purchase... I'll say again, if I'm going to press them to schedule films, I can't go to their movies at all!"

Talking about this, Shen Mengxi's assistant came over, lowered his voice and said something to him, and the latter nodded slightly...

"One last question... What do you think of "Thai Embarrassment" not meeting expectations at the U.S. box office?"

“... It's normal to say that "Thai Embarrassment" is a movie made for Chinese audiences, and the jokes and baggage in it can only be understood by those who are interested in China, and American audiences are not interested in learning about Chinese culture..."

"Does that mean that domestic comedy is not global enough?"

"Why should comedy be global? Comedy itself is the most down-to-earth kind of commercial film, German comedy "Damn Goethe", "Journey to the West", "Bad Father Santa", have you seen it?"

......

Well, the two movies "One Shot to the End" and "Thai Embarrassment" have been released in North America...

The former opened in 19 theaters, was released for two weeks, and successfully went out of the circle, with 400 theaters released in Europe, released for a month, and a cumulative box office of 4.2 million US dollars...

It's already high!

surpassed "The Raid" and won the annual box office champion of foreign language films - "The Raid" has a cumulative box office of $4.1 million.

In contrast, "Thai Embarrassment" was also opened in 19 theaters, and the box office was only $90,000 after its release for a week...

The gap is obvious.

The reason is really simple - "Thai Embarrassment" is a purely Chinese film!

Foreigners don't like to watch it!

And... Piracy is too bad!

The consequence of piracy is that DVD sales are sluggish!

In the past two years, even with the support of Mengxi Media, the overseas copyright sales of Chinese films have been declining year by year...

The reason is simple, Hollywood is too strong.

Many people in the circle have a consensus: Hollywood movies are a big commercial system, people all over the world like to watch them, and China will be occupied by Hollywood movies sooner or later, which is a trend.

That's why it's going to be de-cinematicized!

It's just that no one expected that Shen Mengxi and his Mengxi system would be so hanging!

"Titanic 3D" only brushed one billion, and "Passing with God" directly surpassed it, surpassing "Avatar" by the way, not only that, but the Lunar New Year file took out "One Shot to the End" and "Thai Embarrassment"...

Among the top ten box office this year, Mengxi Media produced six seats, the other three are Hollywood movies, and there is also an Uncle Long's "Zodiac"...

"Walking with God" and "One Shot to the End" ranked first and second, "The Guys in My Body" ranked fourth - a movie written more than a hundred chapters ago, and "Thai Embarrassment" (in theaters) ranked fifth...

The third is "Titanic 3D", the sixth "Avengers", the seventh "Men in Black 3", the eighth, the ninth "Ice Age 4", and "Zodiac" (in theaters) ranked tenth...

Ah Mou's "Charlotte on the Plains" is ranked eleventh...

As for the top ten domestic movies, except for "Zodiac", it was rounded by Mengxi Media!

......

“... Tell me more about it!"

The assistant brought a message that he was not allowed to host the show without a host card...

It is a notice that "Further Strengthening the Management of the Use of Radio and Television Hosts and Guests" not only strictly enforces the regulations on the management of hosts, but also makes it clear that auxiliary hosting positions shall not be set up or disguised in news, commentary, and interview programs.

"Will 'Casual Inn' be affected?"

Shen Mengxi frowned, and directly dialed Wu Xiaohui's phone - he had been mixed in the system and knew the hidden meaning behind these things...

Wu Xiaohui thought for a while: "It should have been reported by Youtai!"

"What's there to report here?"

“... You're got a lot of ratings!"
