Why did you eliminate Liu Yifei and choose the newcomer Da Tiantian?

This question, I think I can ask Sidan Shuangbing or all the traffic flowers, why didn't Mao "The Great Wall" look for you?

Or, for Mao's "Pacific Rim 2" and "King Kong: Skull Island", I didn't look for you?

The reason is the same, because you lack the ability to make money...

By the way, Da Tiantian has now successfully joined "Moving Labyrinth", and she will play "Warring States" again in the future, will anyone doubt her?

After all, Hollywood gilded back...

Back to the conversation, Meng Xiaojing finished asking the first question, watched him take a sip of coffee, and then asked, "You just said that you went to South Korea?"

"Well," Shen Mengxi didn't wait for her to ask, and broke the news herself: "I have cooperated with two TV series, the first is "The Temptation of Wife", last year's Korean TV drama ratings champion, ready to change to the Chinese version, this time I will talk about some finishing work, and I have a new "Splendid Heritage"..."

"The Chinese version?"

"Yes, we have negotiated with Mango Station to co-produce. ”

“... Just two things?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "Not only that, there are two movies, one is a thriller drama, and the other is a horror film, it's hard to talk about this, because it's still in production..."

Meng Xiaojing's throat moved: "You are the screenwriter of these works?"

"Of course not, I still have to write a book, how can I have time? It's all written by a group of people in the screenwriting studio, but I'm the chief screenwriter... Because it's easier to sell with my name on it!"

"Why make it in Korea?"

“... This is fate, you also know that "Rose Red Lotus" sold very well in South Korea, and then signed a contract with the studio to continue cooperation..."

"What will you focus on in the future?"

"It must be placed in China, a country's mainstream films must serve its own audience, filmmakers should and must focus on China!"

"So, you don't make blockbusters?"

"Well, it is difficult for blockbusters to recover their costs by relying on the domestic market, and the market is not yet enough to accommodate more than 200 million production cost films, at this time, investors must export the film, and therefore, the theme of the film has to meet the taste of foreigners, and Chinese films are no longer only for local audiences. Therefore, many people scolded "Ambush on All Sides" and "Hero", but the overseas results of these two movies are great!"

Meng Xiaojing's painting style changed: "What about "Painted Skin"? I heard that the cost of "Painted Skin" is also 100 million!"

Shen Mengxi looked at her seriously, and then said, "... I think the mainland box office of "Painted Skin" is enough to recoup the cost!"

“... You mean you can get more than 200 million?"

"Well, 200 million should be more than 200 million, it is very likely to reach 300 million!"

Meng Xiaojing wanted to ask, 'Why do you think so?' but she knew that if she asked so, Shen Mengxi would definitely answer 'special effects, story, actors' or something, these are all standard answers, there is no need to ask!

She asked a different way: "Actually, there is a question that I have always wanted to ask you. ”

"You say!"

"Many people say that mainland actors can't afford the box office, why is "Painted Skin" a pure mainland lineup?

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "This is nonsense, it is completely hyped up by the media!"

"Cheng Long is so powerful, "Around the World in 80 Days" also suffered a box office fiasco, and the world's film trends, especially Hollywood's industrial productions, prove that talking about absolute box office guarantee is a false proposition. Since the success of special effects commercial films such as "The Lord of the Rings" has accelerated the rise of the Hollywood special effects era, and film special effects have replaced actors as the guarantee of the box office.

In the era of special effects, no actor has absolute box office appeal, and the new generation of Hollywood actors are basically rubbing the theme, for example, several actors in "Twilight", without "Twilight", can they become box office guarantees?

Now the box office depends more on the publicity and distribution efforts, the viewing of the movie, the schedule, the quality and other factors!"

The two asked and answered, chatted for two hours, refilled several cups of coffee, and finally ended the conversation.

Before leaving, Meng Xiaojing suddenly asked, "What do you think about the ban on 'Tang Wei'?"

"It's hard to say!"

"Why can't you say? Don't you think it's a challenge to a properly produced and distributed film?"

Shen Mengxi rolled her eyes: "... If the director of "Lust and Caution" is not Li An, it is estimated that this movie will not even have a chance to be released!"

Meng Xiaojing decisively shut up...

......

Before getting into the car, Shen Mengxi dialed Liu Yifei's phone.

Since she came to Beijing to audition, maybe she is still in Beijing...

Thinking too much, people have returned to Hong Kong...

"You went to audition for "Moving Maze", why didn't you tell me?"

She asked rhetorically: "... Why do you want to tell you?"

"I'm also an Asian producer..."

"Then why aren't you at the audition?"

That's a good question!

Why is Shen Mengxi, as the Asian producer of "Moving Maze", not on the scene for such a big thing as the casting?

Because the role has already been selected...

Of course, it can't be explained like this, Shen Mengxi said: "We are not only casting in China, but also in South Korea, I went to South Korea..."

In line with the principle of fairness, openness and justice, Shen Mengxi did not appear at the casting site!

It can also be said to avoid suspicion...

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone sighed: "... I don't want to talk about that. ”

"Actually, I really don't think you need to enter Hollywood, the Chinese market has broad prospects..."

“... I'm going to practice dancing, transatlantic phone, it's expensive, hang up!"

You deserve to hit the streets!

If you don't listen to good people, you will suffer in front of you.

Shen Mengxi drove the car home...

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone sighed, the casting failure of "Moving Labyrinth" this time hit her hard!

All the while, she was full of confidence, or rather a little conceited.

The role she auditioned for was actually the one Cai Zhuoyan won, no, now it's the supporting actress won by Da Tiantian, the role responsible for selling cuteness and warmth, of course, she died miserably...

With such a role, Liu Yifei feels that he is nine out of ten!

But he still lost, and he didn't even pass the first round of auditions.

Why?

She was furious...

But there is nothing to be done.

The world doesn't revolve around you, and many times, you're eliminated, but you don't even have a reason...

Shen Mengxi couldn't know this, so when he got home, he immediately took a shower, then watched TV and slept...

In South Korea, watching TV is really a painful thing, even if it is an adult station, I don't know what the actors shout...

It's still good in China!

Uh, Huang Xiaoming's version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is being broadcast...

Shen Mengxi saw Brother Xiao Ming appear on the small screen, and just wanted to change the channel, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and watched an episode...

To tell the truth, this version of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is loyal to the original work and has a high degree of restoration, but Brother Xiao Ming is really a little too greasy!

Zhang Jizhong's casting is like a joke...
