Chapter 404 Is there a future...

"The Aviator" is the first film controlled by the company.

The original idea was to win a prize.

At this time, if you want to make a name for yourself, it’s much easier to win awards than box office!

The people are miserable and dissatisfied, now that they have reached Long, they return to Shu...

Now that I have won the award, I am naturally looking forward to the box office.

150 copies, not too much - "Witness" produced 500 copies, covering most theaters across the country.

If converted directly based on the number of copies, "The Aviator" should have one-third of the box office of "Witness", which is nearly 50 million.

But the box office cannot be calculated in this way. The star lineup of "Witness" and the publicity investment...

It’s not the same level at all!

The company's box office expectation for "The Aviator" is 10 million - the cast lineup is too stretched!

Last year's "Outstanding Citizen" featured a bunch of familiar actors such as Chen Daoming, Liu Bei, and Fu Biao...

Moreover, there is at least a 16-day gap in the release of "Outstanding Citizen", which will be released on September 8th - "New Police Story" will be released on September 24th;

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I didn't fall asleep on the plane... I went home and planned to take a nap, but the phone rang all afternoon and I couldn't sleep at all... I was so sleepy!"

"New Film Alliance, Shanghai United Cinemas, and Southern Shinkansen have all said they will give full support to their promotion..."

The five major cinema chains at this stage are Shanghai United Cinemas, BJ New Cinema, China Film Southern Shinkansen, China Film Star and Guangzhou Pearl River...

I was drowsy and just fell asleep when my phone rang again.

It's normal, this is a great event!

Chen Xi reminded: "Awards season makes a difference..."

Shen Xudong is happy...

"No, Oscar...how dare you predict that?"

"Okay, let me tell them..."

Shen Xudong asked in confusion: "What other reasons could there be?"

"So, in the final analysis, there is still no money..." Shen Xudong quickly changed the subject: "How are the publicity discussions going?"

"Brokeback Mountain won the Golden Lion, and it will definitely make a difference during the awards season..."

"Yes...I'm telling you, if you want to be famous, you have to either be vulgar or elegant!"

Gao Fenfen believed it: "Didn't I give you the money?"

The influence outside the circle is more direct. Boss Chen made three phone calls, all of which were about the coal boss throwing money...

"Since I said it, there must be a basis for my judgment, so don't worry about it... Where did I just say it?"

Gao Fenfen suddenly smiled and winked at Shen Xudong: "Unless she is willing to pay 500 yuan to star!"

Organizations such as the Screenwriters Guild, Writers Guild, and Federation of Literary and Art Circles must send event invitations.

This is considered within the circle.

"On the red carpet?"

"Teacher Huang..."

"Who?" Chen Xi was curious...

"Hello…"

"It's okay, it's my first time...and "The Aviator" did not sell well. By the way, my teacher invited us to a screening at the Chinese Theater Theater!"

Shen Xudong said simply: "Brother, in fact, you don't have to star in a movie to participate in overseas film festivals. I saw many Italian second- and third-tier female stars on the red carpet in Venice..."

"Dragon robe?"

"...Buy an invitation letter, bring your own photography team, and then tell the editors of Sina or Sohu Entertainment to spend some money to buy a layout...the dress must be a little exaggerated...you can also wear a dragon robe!"

"I heard them say that you lived and ate with Chen Hao in Venice?"

Teacher Huang called and had no request. He just wanted Shen Xudong, Zhou Shen, and Liu Lu to take "The Aviator" to the Chinese Theater for a screening event.

Getting three of them done is already pretty good!

After all, "Aviator" is controlled and distributed by the company!

Does Shen Xudong know this very well...

"...There is an invitation, but...this thing is a foreign language film!"

"The Aviator" will be released on the 13th, which means "The Aviator" can only get support from theaters for eight days at most.

This year's "Myth" will be released on September 21st!

I just said that when promoting BJ, remember to consider the screening of Chinese dramas...

"We are talking about an international superstar who was famous all over the country. She went to Hollywood. In order to get a role, she shouted during the audition, 'I only want 500 yuan!' Then they cast her, and the role she played was a stripper. …”

"...Okay, I'll arrange it!"

Chen Xi rolled his eyes at him: "...I'm afraid there are other reasons?"

Theater support is very important.

'Invest in your movie, the heroine will have a lover, and you can go to the red carpet of the film festival... money is not a problem!'

"...Well, that's what happened!"

"Then we'll die!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment: "What the hell?"

"Don't get excited yet, there are a lot of questions!"

Shen Xudong was planning to sleep all afternoon, but his cell phone kept ringing...

In the evening, Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi made an appointment with Shen Xudong. They saw that he was wearing sunglasses and asked him to take them off. Then they saw a pair of tired eyes...

When Shen Xudong was about to continue speaking, Gao Fenfen interrupted him: "Did you say in "World Cinema Journey" that Li Min could win the Oscar for Best Director?"

Without the support of theaters, you say it will be released? Who do you think you are?

Of course Shen Xudong has no objection.

After all, "Blue Red" and "Peacock" were first screened at Nortel and then released nationwide - both directors are from Nortel!

Teacher Huang did not force Shen Xudong to premiere at the Chinese Opera, and it was too late. It will be released nationwide tomorrow, and the two directors are still in Toronto...

Boss Chen is a big customer, the kind who pays real money. Of course Shen Xudong treats him with care. When others call, they just give a perfunctory...

Chen Xi interjected: "What movies are you preparing to compete in Venice next year?"

"Killer Film Company is just an independent film production company. It may not have enough money... Even if someone has enough money, they may not choose Gong Li to star!"

Chen Xi looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

Shen Xudong was angry: "...it's not that you are reluctant to spend money! What's wrong with renting an extra suite? Chen Hao is forced to live with me!"

Chen Xi knew Shen Xudong very well. He did not reject it outright, which meant that he had a plan in mind. So, she glanced at Gao Fenfen, who understood: "What? There is a project?"

"Foreign language film?"

Mainly 'Why do you have to go to the red carpet at a film festival?'

Shen Xudong: "What a fool, a room costs 9,800 US dollars a night, but you gave us 1 million US dollars, and you also had to hold a party and rent a yacht... If you had given us an additional 500,000 US dollars..."

Shen Xudong originally wanted to reply directly, "You think Venice is so easy to get," but he thought of "Carol" and hesitated: "...We'll talk about it then."

…

‘Just walk on the red carpet and you’ll be an international superstar!’

"What’s wrong with you?"

The bosses of major film companies also want to order...

…

"Haha, yes!"

"What about Star America and Pearl River Cinemas?"

"...couldn't get it done..."

"what is the problem?"

"Yes, gay movies are politically correct. In order to show their progress, the United States, including the entire West, has recently been busy with various equal rights... gay movies are definitely a trend. I told Gong Li, Gong Li and killer movies Kristine Wachen of the company talked about this matter. Kristine Wachen specializes in this kind of movies... She has a copy of "The Price of Salt" and wants me to adapt it..."

"'Outstanding Citizen', 'The Aviator'... there will definitely be one next year!"

Shen Xudong was so excited that he almost forgot that I was still a student - a senior student of Chinese Opera!

Gao Fenfen was immediately excited: "...So, you received an invitation from Hollywood?"

"What do you think?"

"...Chen Chong?"

Gao Fenfen waved his hand: "I don't care whether it's Chen Chong or not... I ask you, does this project have a future?"

"...What's wrong? You want to invest?"
