Chapter 539 Chinese New Year

Shen Xudong did not lie, he is indeed going to the United States, and "The Fault in Our Stars" has entered the casting stage...

It’s not a big problem to just throw in any Chinese actors!

The main story of "The Fault in Our Stars" revolves around the love story between the male and female protagonists - a terminally ill boy and a terminally ill girl.

But there can be many people around, such as doctors, friends, etc...

Yes, the attribute tools of these characters are a little bit fancy, but...it's 2007, Hollywood!

Any Chinese star would have to show off...

Among Chinese actresses competing in Hollywood, who didn’t start out as a tool?

Huang Shengyi played a background role, and all kinds of press releases were issued to rave about it...

Not to mention the Chinese, Japanese and Korean celebrities also have to be pretty.

Eh?

Do Japanese and Korean celebrities also have to be in trouble?

Then Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Tae Hee, Son Ye Jin...

(﹃)

suck...

It’s not impossible for girlhood to become young womanhood – he has experienced ten of them, and there are only 9 people in girlhood!

The chaebol can do it, why can't he Shen Xudong?

Ahem...

Let’s take care of domestic entertainment first. As for Japan and South Korea, there are opportunities, there are opportunities...

Sowing the seeds of artistic exchange starts with Huayu.

…

On January 14th, "The Detective of the Republic of China: Heads in the Ghost Market" was released. This movie did not receive much publicity because it had the foundation of the first film. Of course, the movie channels will certainly promote it in various ways...

Plus, there aren't any movies worth mentioning coming out recently.

Definitely highly recommended by cinemas!

The only one with some competition, "The Doors", was released on January 10th. Well, it was withdrawn.

"Gate" really received zero publicity. Maybe she felt that horror films didn't need publicity, or maybe she felt that Li Shaohong's reputation was enough for theaters to arrange for the film.

As for theater chains, if you don't spend money on promotion, they really won't schedule movies for you - it's not like there won't be other movies released.

"Republic of China: Ghost Market" had a box office of 8.8 million on its first day. January 14th was a Sunday, and the first day was its first week. The following Monday, the box office for the whole week was 21 million.

Then "Casino Royale" was released, and it is estimated that the total box office of "Republic of China 2" is between 38 million and 42 million.

The reputation is pretty good.

In fact, even if it only has a box office of 5 million, "Republic of China" has made a lot of money - 12 million in advertising placement income, 5 million in TV copyright income, and 3 million in audio and video copyright...

Judging from the current situation, the cost of the "Republic of China Detective" series is controlled under 3,000, and the producer, the movie channel, Tianmei Media will make a lot of money!

The production cost of this movie is mainly the salary of the cast and crew, but except for the iron triangle composed of Chen Hao, Huang Bo, and Zhu Awen, other characters can be replaced.

Therefore, we simply encouraged the three of them to jointly invest as the main creators - the remuneration would be converted into investment...

Accounting for 25% of the investment.

They repeatedly divided the account according to the ratio of 432...

What, where did the other 10% go?

The three of them's companies must be affiliated with Tianmei, so they won't get 10%...

Bringing it back, on January 14th, "The Golden Jacket" was officially released, with a cumulative box office of 256 million, surpassing the 250 million of "Heroes", setting a new box office record for domestic movies.

But this result... is not good!

After all, the cost of "Golden Armor" is quite high...

What can be seen with the naked eye is much higher than that of House of Flying Daggers.

In order to present the magnificent ancient times before our eyes, a lot of financial resources, manpower and time were spent, and nearly 300 workers were dispatched to rebuild the Hengdian Film and Television City day and night for 5 months. Every detail inside and outside the palace was meticulous.

The palace is magnificent, with all the decorations including the door and 600 columns, all carved with chrysanthemum patterns, painted golden, and decorated with brightly colored glass. Under the light, the golden light shines brightly...

Zhou Runfa's salary is 40 million, and Gong's profit is 20 million...

Gong Li accepted the role of A Mou and accepted a friendship price.

Pulling it back, even if there is not the 360 ​​million that is boasted, there should be 150 million!

The film's overseas performance was very poor, less than 42 million US dollars - of course it can beat "The Promise", but compared with itself, the decline is huge.

"Hero" (overseas box office of 150 million U.S. dollars), "House of Flying Daggers" (overseas box office of nearly 90 million U.S. dollars), for comparison, "The Golden Jacket" has the worst overseas performance, with a box office of 6.56 million U.S. dollars in North America and only 2.63 million U.S. dollars in Japan.

U.S. dollars, you must know that the Japanese box office of "Hero" is 33.99 million U.S. dollars, and "House of Flying Daggers" also has 24.46 million U.S. dollars...

Well, "Golden Armor" also became A Mou's last so-called costume blockbuster.

After that, he tinkered with "Shadow", but unfortunately times have changed - when "Shadow" was released, Chinese costume blockbusters were fringe subjects.

Zhang Weiping is very confident, "Now that Chinese films have become internationalized, it is impossible to recover investment by relying on the domestic market alone."

'This "The Golden Jacket" can't break the record of "Titanic", so let's make the next one!'

When asked if he was worried about Shen Xudong's movie, he said, "Shen Xudong is indeed very business-savvy, but he doesn't have Zhang Yi's... he will never be able to make a small film better than "Hero"!"

…

Shen Xudong has been in Hong Kong recently.

Some time ago, Shen Xudong's net worth was revealed on the Internet, and Shen's father and Shen's mother also became famous...

Yes, his net worth is not high, less than 1 billion, but the crazy exposure in the entertainment industry will definitely have an impact.

It wasn't to the extent that the top and second-in-commands came in person, but relatives and friends from Qiufeng, and some departments that solicited sponsorships still came in droves.

It made them both very uncomfortable.

So, when the twelfth lunar month arrived, I simply went to Hong Kong...

Help my son look after the house!

Shen Xudong was worried that they would be lonely, so he simply bought two dogs-golden retrievers...

My mother immediately found a new job, took them to every pet store, bought a small leash, and tried to cook for them. Later, I heard that eating dog food is healthy, so I bought a bunch of dog food...

I went to take the two dogs for various walks when I saw the sky.

Dad Shen originally also walked his dog, but later he learned about several fishing spots and immediately picked up the hobby. According to his words, 'We need to show these natives the strength of the mainland fishing guys!'

Both of them are very happy, as for the expenses...

Shen Xudong started giving him 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month from the year before last, which the two of them wanted to save. Last year, it increased to 200,000 yuan a month. This year, after learning about his net worth and savings, they simply stopped saving!

Why save that little money? If his worth is converted into money and placed in the bank, the interest earned in one day will be enough for an average person to live and drink for a year...

Don't think that the elderly don't want to enjoy it. Of course they want to live a better life if they have the conditions.

On February 15, Shen Xudong arrived in Hong Kong, and his family of three reunited to prepare for the New Year.

…

"I heard from Mr. Wrinkle that during the Chinese New Year, red envelopes are given to the doormen and housekeepers here. It doesn't need to be too much, just 20 yuan per package!"

"Do you have to give it to everyone?"

"Hmm... So, go out later and bring twenty red envelopes with you!"

After the Chinese New Year, the family of three was going to the Gong Temple to welcome the God of Wealth and spin the windmill. Before going out, Shen Xudong asked his mother to prepare a few red envelopes. Shen's mother was a little hesitant: "...is 20 yuan too little?"

"It's basically 20. It's our first time celebrating the New Year in Hong Kong, so don't break the rules!"

"Okay... then 20..."

Shen Xudong led the two of them out. The New Year celebrations here in Xiangjiang are really lively, with lion dances, fireworks, incense burning and prayers, everything...

But... there is still a sense of alienation.

Especially when I meet the employees of Jiahe and call me Mr. Shen...

It's obviously a Chinese-speaking area, why does it have to be called by an English name?
