Chapter 306 Breaking 200 Million and Inviting (2/5)
After "Ip Man", Zhou Yang received many invitations to movies, and even "Happy Events in Family"...
Wong Pai-ming is so smart. What he is best at is attracting a bunch of celebrities and using a fooling story to name it "XX Happy Event 20XX", to launch it to the market and make money in a fixed way.
But being able to star in "XX Happy Event" at least means that you are very popular!
You see, "Happy Events in Family 2009" has Yao Dazui;
In this year's "Flower Fields 2010", he invited Zhou Yang!
Hey, when you watch Wong Pak-ming, you will know that Hong Kong movies are getting worse every year, and you are not enterprising and pirated by yourself!
Back to the topic, Zhou Yang actually has no foundation in the film industry.
His representative work is "Ip Man"...
If it continues and angers Chen Mengxi, what are the consequences?
It’s hard to say, but she has received the script of "Ip Man 3" as a guest star. She was seriously ill and died...
She felt this was a warning to her!
So, she has been promoting "Ip Man 2" these days, and whenever she asks Liu Yifei, she avoids talking about it...
When a topic is discussed, the parties involved no longer speak, and there is no need to continue hype!
Moreover, Liu Dehua has been exposed for 24 years of secret marriage!
...
On August 12, Mengxi Company.
Chen Mengxi was watching the box office of "Ip Man 2". It was released for twelve days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million, refreshing the speed of "If You Are the One" last year's "The Legend of the World" exceeded 200 million in 13 days. The industry gave a box office forecast of 330 million...
"Immediately, at the "Robber" meeting, we will only have a maximum of more than 300 million..."
"That's not bad, it should be on the list like "Painted Skin"!"
Chen Mengxi smiled: "There are still possible in the top ten, and the top three can only be thought about..."
"The box office of "Luxing" in North America has been $45 million, and the landing point is likely to be $70 million..."
"…Yeah, that's very good. Where is the overseas box office of "Ip Man 2"?"
“$65 million…most critics’ review routines are a bit outdated…”
"Don't pay attention to them, they know nothing..."
Zhao Jinsong continued: "The ratings of "Wenzhou Family" have exceeded 3!"
"Normal, it's all war, historical subjects, and the audience has seen enough..."
"CCTV wants to buy out the broadcasting rights..."
"If you don't sell it, we have agreed with several major satellite TV stations..."
While chatting, Chen Mengxi's assistant knocked on the door and walked in: "Boss, Buffy Zhao is here!"
"...Then invite her to the conference room... Lao Zhao, I'll go see her first!"
That's right, Chen Mengxi invited Buffy Zhao...
Invite her to be the director of "My Girls' Generation".
Putting aside many things, Buffy Zhao is still very suitable for being a director!
What is the director's ability?
The unified scheduling of the set includes scenes, art, props, lighting, sound effects, actors...
When a director sees a script, he has a rough outline in his mind. Then he uses some methods to outline the outline, and finally let others see what he thinks.
The more similar he actually showed to what he thought, the stronger his ability.
Of course, just similarity is not enough. You also need to let others accept your outline. You think that the number one in the world is the best in the world when you take a photo, and when you look at it, what is it? This is also a big failure.
This is the director’s own ability, and one more important thing is the director’s potential ability: connections!
The latter one is Buffy Zhao’s biggest advantage!
But this is not the main reason why Chen Mengxi invited her, mainly because Chen Mengxi does not have a director!
He has already written the script of "My Girls' Generation", who is the director looking for?
It is logical that youth films can be filmed step by step...
That's right, but Han Yan wants to film "33 Days of Love Break", and Yang Qing tinkers with "Return to Twenty"...
You can't let Chen Mengxi, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng film "My Girls' Generation"!
Buffy Zhao is very good, with his own topic, but he forgot that Buffy Zhao has many scenes in hand...
She's very busy...
...
When we meet, we must first ask about the situation of "Painted Skin 2"...
Zhao Buffy's face was filled with sighs: "Wu Ershan is simply. We took photos in Yamdrok Yongcuo for half a month, and I am a little dazed now..."
"Painted Skin 2" filming location: Inner Mongolia Keqi Grassland, Yamdrok Yongcuo, Tibet...
"But the picture is beautiful!"
Buffy Zhao smiled bitterly, then took out a bag of things and handed them to Chen Mengxi: "By the way, this is the Tibetan tea I brought to you!"
"Wow, I'm interested..."
"This is given to me by someone. I don't like to drink badly, so I'll give it to you!"
Chen Mengxi took down the tea bricks and heard her talk about a lot of things filmed in "Painted Skin 2"...
After almost the conversation, she asked again: "…I heard that "Painted Skin 3" is going to find Tsui Hark as the producer?"
"Well, I talked to Wu Ershan. If the box office of "Painted Skin 2" can exceed 500 million, then let's just play it casually and shoot some exciting things!"
"Stimulate?"
"It is you three living in harmony, and the monster catcher is set up as a villain..."
Buffy Zhao thought for a moment: “…”Green Snake”?”
Chen Mengxi nodded: "Absolutely..."
"Painted Skin 3" is very bold and challenging conventional cognition. For example, monsters have superb magical power and can try not to eat people's hearts and instead eat other hearts; monsters have no inferiority to people, and people have no prejudice against monsters...
Anyway, the first two movies of "Painted Skin" have made a lot of money, so Wu Ershan will play casually in the third movie. The main reason is that Chen Mengxi also wants to play like this...
He just wanted the male protagonist to say the saying, "I just like demons, I'm obsessed with the world, I just like banshee, I'm the horse and choose myself, don't worry about me!"
Chen Mengxi took out the script of "My Girls' Generation": "I have a script..."
Buffy Zhao quickly took it, opened it and looked at it, browsed the content roughly, and asked: "Did you let me play this Lin Zhenxin?"
"This character is considered a guest appearance..."
"Come?"
"This story mainly happened when Lin Zhenxin was in high school. I plan to find you as a director..."
"I?"
"Yes, we are fully responsible for the funds, photography, deputy director, whoever you want, who we ask for you!"
Buffy Zhao continued to flip through the script and asked casually: "Why do you think of finding me?"
Chen Mengxidao: "…The male director may not be able to shoot such a girlish thing..."
"You can find Xu Jinglei..."
"…Do you think I'll look for her?"
Buffy Zhao smiled and said nothing...
What kind of virtue is Xu, who doesn’t understand in the circle?
Classic evaluation of "Ten Bows": Xu Jinglei has always been named a talented woman, but it seems that her talent has never been revealed to the audience. I don’t know where this talented woman judged it!
"It is best not to change the script framework, the lines can be changed..."
Buffy Zhao closed the script: "I like this script very much, but I have to say it first. If I direct it, how do I calculate the copyright of this film?"
“…Copyright? This is the script I wrote!”
"I mean profit!"
"...If our company hires external directors, we will usually give you a director fee of 300,000 yuan. This is your first movie directed by Zhao Wei. He will direct and act by himself. With six words, I will calculate 6 million for you!"
Chen Mengxi is not a miser. Buffy Zhao directed and acted in the first drama, and it is indeed very attractive. From the pure routine of "To Youth", she is the only one of the main signs of the youth films from promotion to release.
Then, it sold for 700 million!
"My Girls' Generation", nothing unexpected happens, there should be no suspense for 200 million yuan...
With director Buffy Zhao, it should be able to increase the box office by tens of millions...
6 million…
This price is already very sincere!
“…I’ll think about it…”
Chapter completed!
