Chapter 136 Rarely restored daily life
Why did Liu Yifei be eliminated and the newcomer Da Tiantian?
I think you can ask Sidan Shuangbing or all the traffic young ladies, why didn’t you find Mao’s “Great Wall”?
Or, for Mao's "Pacific Rim 2", "Kong: Skull Island" didn't look for you?
The reasons are the same, because you lack money ability...
By the way, Da Tiantian has successfully joined "Mobile Maze". If she plays "Warring States Period" again in the future, will anyone doubt her?
After all, Hollywood is back with gilded…
Back to the conversation, Meng Xiaojing asked the first question, saw him take a sip of coffee, and then asked: "You just said you went to Korea?"
"Well," Chen Mengxi didn't wait for her to ask, and she broke the news: "I'm grateful to SBS Diansans and has collaborated on two TV series. The first one is "The Temptation of Wife". Last year's Korean TV series ratings champion is ready to be changed to the Chinese version. This time I'll talk about some final work, and a new collaboration with "The Brilliant Legacy"..."
"Chinese version?"
"Yes, I have already negotiated with Mango TV and made it together."
“…It’s just two things?”
Chen Mengxi shook her head: "Not only, there are two movies, one thriller drama and the other is a horror movie. This is not easy to talk about because it is still being produced..."
Meng Xiaojing's throat moved: "Are you the screenwriter of these works?"
"Of course not. I still have to write books, so how can I have time? They were all written by a group of people in the screenwriter studio, but I am the chief screenwriter... because it is easier to sell with my name!"
“Why do you need to make it in Korea?”
"...This is considered fate. You also know that "Rose Red Lotus" sold well in Korea, and then signed a contract with the studio to continue cooperation..."
"Then will your focus in the future work?"
"It must be placed in China. The mainstream movies in a country must be for the service of their own audiences. Filmmakers should and must also focus on their energy!"
"So, don't you make blockbusters?"
"Well, it is difficult for blockbusters to recover costs by the domestic market. The market is not enough to accommodate more than 200 million movies to produce cost. At this time, investors must export the film. Therefore, the theme of the film has to satisfy the taste of foreigners. Chinese movies are no longer just for local audiences. Therefore, many people criticize "Ten-sided Ambush" and "Hero", but the overseas achievements 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!"
Chen Mengxi looked at her carefully and said, "...I think the mainland box office of "Painted Skin" is enough to recover the cost!"
"…You mean you can get more than 200 million?"
"Well, two hundred million should be more than 200 million, and it is very likely to reach three hundred million!"
Meng Xiaojing really wanted to ask, "Why do you think so?" But she knew that if she asked this, Chen Mengxi would definitely answer, "special effects, stories, actors, etc., these are all standard answers, and there is no need to ask questions!
She changed her questioning method: "Actually, there is a question, I have always wanted to ask you."
"you say!"
"Many people say that mainland actors can't bear the box office. Why is "Painted Skin" a pure mainland lineup? Are you not worried?"
Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "This is nonsense, it was completely hyped by the media!"
"Cheng Long is so powerful that "Eighty Days Traveling around the Earth" also suffered a box office defeat. The world's film trends, especially Hollywood's industrialized productions, prove that it is a false proposition to talk about absolute box office guarantees. Since the box office awards of special effects commercial films like "Lord of the Rings" have been successful, it has comprehensively accelerated the rise of the Hollywood special effects era, and movie special effects have replaced actors as the box office guarantee.
In the era of special effects, no actors have absolute box office appeal, and the new generation of Hollywood actors are basically taking advantage of the theme. For example, the actors in "Twilight" have left "Twilight", can they become the box office guarantee? No one dares to say it!
The box office now depends more on the strength of publicity and distribution, the viewing quality of the movie, schedule, quality and other factors!"
The two of them asked and answered each other, chatted for two hours, and continued several cups of coffee, and finally finished the conversation.
Before leaving, Meng Xiaojing suddenly asked: "What do you think about the ban on Tang Wei?"
"It's hard to say!"
"Why is it hard to say? Don't you think this is a challenge to a properly produced and released video?"
Chen Mengxi rolled her eyes: "…If the director of "Lust and Caution" was not Li An, I guess this movie would not even have a chance to be released!"
Meng Xiaojing shut up decisively...
...
As soon as he got on the bus, Chen Mengxi called Liu Yifei.
Since she is here in Beijing for an audition, maybe she is still in Beijing now...
I've thought too much, and I've returned to Hong Kong...
"You went to the Mobile Maze for audition, why don't you tell me?"
She asked back: "…Why do you want to tell you?"
"I'm also an Asian producer..."
"Then why aren't you on the audition site?"
This question is well asked!
Why is Chen Mengxi, the Asian producer of "Mobile Maze", not present at the scene when casting such a big deal?
Because the role has been selected...
Of course, I can't explain this, Chen Mengxidao: "We are not only casting in China, but also in South Korea. I'm going to South Korea..."
Based on the principle of fairness, openness and justice, Chen Mengxi did not appear at the casting scene!
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 this."
"Actually, I really think you don't need to enter Hollywood. The Chinese market has broad prospects..."
"…I'm going to practice dancing. The cross-border phone is quite expensive, so I'm hung up!"
I deserve to lose!
If you don’t listen to good people, you will suffer losses in front of you.
Chen Mengxi drives the car home...
Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone sighed. The failure of the casting of "Mobile Maze" this time has a big blow to her!
She has always been full of confidence, or a little conceited.
The role she auditioned for was actually the one that Cai Zhuoyan won. No, now it is the supporting actress who is responsible for acting cute and warm-hearted. Of course, she died miserably...
With such a role, Liu Yifei feels that he is sure to win!
But I still lost, and I didn't even pass the first round of auditions.
Why?
She was quite angry at that time...
But there is nothing we can do about it.
This world is not around you. Many times, you are eliminated but you don’t even have a reason...
Chen Mengxi couldn't know this. When he got home, he immediately took a shower, watched TV, and went to bed...
Watching TV in Korea is really a very painful thing. Even on adult stations, I don’t know what the actors call...
It's better in China!
Uh, Huang Xiaoming's version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is being broadcast...
Chen Mengxi saw Brother Xiao Ming appearing on the small screen. He was about to change the channel, but he couldn't resist the curiosity and watched an episode...
To be honest, this version of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is loyal to the original work and has a high degree of restoration, but Brother Xiao Ming is really a bit too greasy!
