Chapter 418 You are the main force of the future (6/8)

This year's National Day holiday is indeed worth tens of thousands of horses...

This is based on a solid theory - "Die Renjie's Empire of the Heaven" has 286 million, which seems to be successful...

However, the slogan Huayi shouted was ‘Over 500 million’!

The slogan shouted in "Jingwu Fengyun" is over 300 million;

"Sword Rain" says a conservative estimate: 150 million!

"Hawthorn Tree", 200 million is just the beginning...

Look, it's coming...

In fact, none of them met expectations.

The worst thing is "Sword Rain", with an investment cost of over 100 million and a box office of 60 million in the mainland...

"33 Days of Love Break" is the best time period, but it will cost 10 million yuan to make up for the film.

Make your reputation first...

As for "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", there is basically no need for Mengxi Company to buy water army. Some of them are "film critics" who have caught it. Before the movie has been released, Hong Zong has organized the "anti-Zhang Yimou Alliance" and directly criticized: Zhang Yimou is an old director. I don't think he can shoot such heartbroken love. Do you know, it's still the same thing, there is no novelty at all. He is imitating and plagiarizing himself, which is too naughty. He is not promoting "the cleanest love in history"? But some of the shots in him are too unwilling to watch. What kind of love film is just a color blue film. I feel that he has given him a *****.

"Jingwu Fengyun" went to Venice and then rolled back in shame...

Has been exposed...

"Sword Rain" has never been an opponent from the beginning!

Just "Tongtian Empire", but "Tongtian Empire" and "33 Days of Love" are completely different...

So, Shen Mengxi is really not in a hurry at all.

...

Ning Hao asked: "Mengxi, do you have any good notebooks?"

“…There is a creative idea called “Don’t Stop the Camera”, which tells the story of the birth of a bad movie…”

"The birth of a bad movie?"

"It is to tell the story of a crew who has tried their best to create a bad movie. The first half hour is a movie, the middle half hour tells various problems, and finally sublimates: what you call bad movies is my work, and I never treat every work perfunctory!"

Xu Zheng nodded: "…This idea is good, it can be funny and profound..."

"There is also a bit of black humor, but the script has not been written yet. If you have any idea, you can find a few people to save a notebook. It's like shooting such a movie, which is quite interesting!"

Ning Hao nodded: "I'll go back and find my wife and touch my thoughts..."

Shen Mengxi smiled bitterly: "The problem now is that we have never made bad movies, so I don't know how bad movies were born!"

Xu Zheng laughed: "…It's not easy to make bad movies..."

Shen Mengxi shook her head: "It's not simple. A normal bad movie is very simple, but can you shoot a movie to Douban with less than 3 points?"

Xu Zheng shook his head: "No, I don't have the ability..."

"So, you have to get the scriptures... Hey, haven't that "Hi Travels" contacted you?"

"The script is so bad. I don't lack money, so I didn't go!"

“…How bad is it?”

Song Hang suddenly interrupted: "Boss, don't we have a Mingxi company, which has made a bunch of low-cost horror movies..."

"Ahem..."

Shen Mengxi deliberately coughed...

"Low-cost horror movie?"

"You did the "Flower Curse", "Horror Apartment" and "Mid July" a few days ago?"

Shen Mengxi explained: "...Make some money and fill in the theater chain. The producers of these films are basically all major theater chains. I only earn some screenwriter fees and have more than 100 screenwriters!"

“…Make money?”

"It's very profitable, mainly because rural digital screenings have started in recent years. Comedy, war and horror films are the three favorite types of films in rural digital theaters. Rural digital theaters sell for ten or twenty yuan per game, which depends on the number of clicks. Some films can sell for four or five million or even tens of millions a year, which is hard to say."

Song Hang nodded: "We have participated in more than 20 low-cost horror movies in the past three years, with an average profit rate of about 60%, and there is no loss!"

"Then you must know bad movies..."

Chen Mengxi was embarrassed: "Let's do it, I'll introduce a screenwriter to you. His subordinates gave birth to the death series, the midnight series, the horror series..."

Ning Hao nodded and said he would let him go...

Xu Zheng: "What about me?"

Chen Mengxi stood up and took out two notebooks from the drawer: "These two notebooks are good."

Xu Zheng took it over and took a look. "The Big Winner" and "Sherlock on the Plain": "The Big Winner" is adapted into the Korean movie "Living with Sex", with the best starring actors, Lei Jiayin, Guo Jingfei, and Huang Bo, both of them; "Sherlock on the Plain", the script I wrote myself is a story about detectives of pesticides..."

"Solve a case in the countryside?"

Ning Hao was very interested and snatched it up, so he took a look...

It is indeed a rural case solved...

The story is very simple. Chaoying flips up a new house and catches the Mei. Shuhe comes to help. Unexpectedly, Shuhe is hospitalized due to an accidental car accident. The driver runs. Chaoying and Kongmei transform into "plain detectives" and embark on a ridiculous absurd journey to chase the murderer...

"I'm going to take this movie with Zhang Yi!"

"What?"

"Don't you really want to "Say Something to Be Well"..."

Xu Zheng: "I don't think so...and why should Zhang Yi take on your role?"

Ning Hao: "Even if he is willing to accept it, can Zhang Weiping agree?"

"Don't worry, at this time next year, I can guarantee that Zhang Yi is the contracted director of our company!"

Chen Mengxi leaned back with a tactical back...

Then, someone knocked on the door, and Yang Xiaomi walked in...

...

I saw a group of big guys gathering in Shen Mengxi's office, and there was smoke everywhere in the room...

“…Director Ning, Director Xu…President Song, President Chen…”

Chen Mengxi was very curious: "Xiaomi, why are you here?"

"You didn't read the text I sent you?"

"…I didn't pay attention. When I talk about serious matters, my phone will be silent..."

Yang Xiaomi said in surprise: "Ah... are you talking about the important things?"

"It's not a serious matter, it's just bragging. If you come to me, is there anything wrong?"

Yang Xiaomi looked at Chen Mengxi and then made it clear: "...There is a company in Hong Kong to dig me over!"

“What company?”

“Meia Entertainment…”

Song Hang: "I know this company, Li Guoxing's company, used to sell movies, but now it makes some midsole cost-effective Hong Kong films, and there are many third-level films..."

"They said that as long as I sign, I will ask me to join the Mermaid Empire!"

Chen Mengxi was speechless: "That was a bad movie. The script was written by a real estate developer. He wanted to realize his literary and artistic dream and invested in making this movie. He was the so-called Sino-US co-production. Just stay in the company honestly. I said I wanted to praise you, why don't you believe it?"

This project is very famous. Chen Mengxi knows that many people in the circle know that - Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" swept away 3.3 billion box office, "Mermaid Empire" crowdfunded, and then raised 20,000 yuan...

The laughing stock of the whole circle!

The case filed in "The Mermaid Empire" was a project in 2007. It was originally a production cost of 50 million US dollars, and it was filmed intermittently for three years. Then "Avatar" came. The boss with a very business acumen made a quick decision to make "The Mermaid Empire" into a 3D version.

The ideas are full, the reality is skinny.

Where to rent shooting equipment? Where to find shooting talents? It was so dark before my eyes.

Then he spent money to hire the "Avatar" team...

During the entire creative process, several special effect patents were developed. This matter was really awesome. It seemed that I was touching the stones and touching a lot of golden sand.

I just don’t know if these patents were converted later. Anyway, I heard that the film company was short of funds and the technicians could not pay the salary. Many computers were taken away by employees and taken for themselves. It was extremely miserable to think about it.

The New York Times revealed that "Mermaid Empire" has problems such as arrears of staff and changing directors...
