Chapter 446 Quickly Finish (3/5)
Don’t always hear Chen Mengxi say, “Listing is just the starting point for a media company.”
Everyone knows that the bell ringing at a company's listing moment is a symbol of great achievements in life and a very glorious symbol!
Two days ago, Bona was listed on Nasdaq. Yu Fatty stood Gong Li on the left and Yuan Li on the right. His life reached its peak...
Of course, Bona fell below the issue price on the day of listing, with an opening price of US$8.50, the same as the issue price. The closing price of the first day of the IPO was US$6.58, down US$1.92, a drop of 22.6%, and Fatty's net worth shrank by RMB 100 million overnight...
This doesn’t matter, what’s important is that Bona Films is listed on the Nasdaq!
Why fell below the issue price?
Chen Mengxi chatted with Wang Changtian of Light. When he talked about this topic, he said: "In fact, the reason is simple. If you tell Americans that it is a Chinese company that makes movies, how can Americans believe that Chinese people can make movies? If it is changed to saying that Bona's business is to give movies to 1.3 billion Chinese people, the stock price will double immediately!"
Why do I talk to Lao Wang about this? Because Light has also obtained the qualification to list on the GEM, it should be around August next year...
Chen Mengxi and Lao Wang have always had a good relationship.
Although the two companies are considered competitors, "Jingwu Fengyun" was distributed and produced by Light.
“Is there any restrictions on ringing the bell?”
"There is no limit, but you can only knock it once!"
Only knock once?
Chen Mengxi thought for a while, then said, "...you ask me to think about it!"
It’s a pity that I originally wanted to follow Brother Dong and ring the bell with my ex-girlfriend and his wife.
There are too many ex-girlfriends in his problem, and Liu Yifei hasn't married him yet...
In fact, the most suitable bell ringer is Cai Yinong. After all, Tang Ren was made by her!
...
When the transition was to shoot several indoor scenes, Zhao Jinsong got on the bus with Chen Mengxi, who chatted with Emmanuel Lubezki about lighting and photography, and then thought of something: "How is the box office of "The Maze of Heart"?"
"The box office of "The Maze of Heart" in the second week was 22 million, surpassing "Dulala" and winning the second place..."
"Second place? Why is the second place?"
"The West Wind is released and won 27 million in the first weekend..."
Chen Mengxi was shocked: "Why is it only 27 million?"
"Western Wind" is a work of hard-core police and gangsters in the pioneering world!
——"Western Wind" is neither a Hong Kong-style police and gangster film nor an American police and gangster film. It has a particularly strong Chinese temperament and is a "swoosh" Chinese hard-core police and gangster film!
Anyway, the press release is just like that.
Starring: Duan Yihong, Wu Zhenyu, Wu Yue, Yang Caini, Yu Nan, Ni Dahong, Xia Yu…
Wu Jing has made rules, and "Western Wind" can't afford him - After "Mobile Maze", Wu Jing's reputation began to rise and he signed many film contracts with Mengxi Company, including "Big Man", "Suspect", and "The Beginner of the Ming Dynasty" (Embroidered Spring Sword)...
Back to "Western Wind"...
This movie is very popular, and Zhao Jinsong didn’t know that the box office was so bad for Mao—the Huayi brothers set a goal of over 200 million!
But, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" are released on November 12, and "Western Wind" has a bad start, let alone 200 million, it would be good to have 60 million!
Zhao Jinsong doesn't know how to answer...
"Western Wind" has too many problems!
He thought for a while and replied: "...Netizens generally reported that the implanted advertisement was too stiff and it looked very uncomfortable!"
Chen Mengxi was speechless: "What's so uncomfortable about implanting advertisements? Netizens are just too idle to watch the plot, what kind of advertisements do you watch?"
“…He was inserting the advertisement in the plot!”
"ah?"
"I saw a comment online, 'I was chasing the killer nervously, and a policeman suddenly ran to the side. Another asked, "What are you doing?" This one shouted, "Dimilation!" The one who called out quickly took out a box of medicine and threw it into his hands: "Use this! It is special for treating diarrhea!" The police spread his hands in confusion, and the camera gave the medicine a close-up without hesitation: Biqi'"
Chen Mengxi was stunned for a moment: "No way?"
"It's true!"
"This is too stupid!"
Chen Mengxi has always been friendly to implanting advertisements. If someone sponsors your movie, you should advertise them!
but…
There must be a way!
Cleverly integrate into the plot, for example, "Those Years", the Pepsi used for bet is very clever!
The sincerity of a movie is only reflected in the movie, not in the presence of advertisements!
"The Dream Chasing Entertainment Circle" has no advertisements, but the film is very ugly. Is that a good movie?
Zhao Jinsong changed the topic: "33 Days of Love Breakup" has been offline, with a box office of 334 million yuan. Online copyright, we are talking to LeTV, Tencent, and Sohu..."
Chen Mengxi was startled: "LeTV?"
“…They offered 15 million!”
"Have you paid? I want to see cash, and I don't accept delayed payments, nor do I accept installments!"
“…If you don’t sell copyrights like this, you usually check out after one year…”
"Then don't sell it to LeTV, a video company ranked sixth in the industry. Its performance is indeed the best in the industry, and there is definitely a ghost!"
Zhao Jinsong: "...Okay, I'll tell them!"
"Okay, don't worry about ringing the bell when you go back. Let the publicity department promote "Surveillance". This year's New Year films are gathering, and we have some tough battles to fight!"
...
There is indeed a tough battle to fight, and it is unlikely to kill "Let the Bullets Fly" - "Bullets" is a work that has made many viewers regain confidence in Chinese movies!
"If You Are the One 2"…
Feng Xiaogang is at the peak.
But this year's New Year holiday, Mengxi Company has two movies "The Monitors" and "Return to Twenty"...
It is impossible to admit defeat directly!
Then put your efforts into publicity and distribution!
Let go of these first, Chen Mengxi is filming a movie. Although "Hunting" relies on actors to play, he, as the director and screenwriter, is also responsible for controlling the overall situation.
Now we are going to film the Christmas Eve church meeting plot.
Lucas, that is, Xiao Li, burst into pieces!
The plot in the previous story is that his beloved dog was killed, and only the dog's head was left thrown in - Fortunately, Lucas was not John Wick, otherwise, you kill my dog and I will destroy your entire village.
Not only was the dog killed, he went to the supermarket to buy things, but was beaten up by the salesperson and others, and was thrown out like garbage.
Christmas Eve, a day that was supposed to be reunited with his family, but he endured unfair treatment and rejection that were made of nothing.
The camera followed the camera all the way, Little Lion simply cleaned her wounds, washed her face, changed into a suit, and went to the church to participate in Christmas Eve prayers like in previous years.
On the stage, the Innocent Children's Choir was singing an ode.
Off the audience, Lucas looked back at Kara's father sitting behind him, his former friend.
My heart is filled with endless disappointment and struggle...
Finally, he couldn't help but burst out and rushed up and grabbed Matthew's collar: "Look at me! Look at my eyes! Look at what's in my eyes? There's nothing left."
"Click..."
Chen Mengxi hesitated for a moment, called Little Li and Matthew over and asked, "Do you want to punch a few times?"
Little Lizi: "I think I'd rather not. After all, Lucas is a kind person, otherwise he wouldn't have given the lost Clara the way..."
In the script, Lucas is really a gentleman. Clara's false accusation made him suffer an injustice, but he still forgave the little girl. After all, the child is ignorant...
"Will that momentum be weak?"
Matthew suggested: "…try two punches and compare!"
“OK!”
So, it came again, this time it was Little Li who waved his fist...
Chapter completed!
