Chapter 18 Bombardment (make up for yesterday)

If you fail to meet expectations, you will lose?

The capitalist's face is speechless!

The first day is 31 million, what else do you want?

This reputation and this daily result are 300 million!

"Okay, please let the publicity department pay more attention. Also, the box office situation in South Korea is reported in real time. I have a premonition that the Korean version can also create a considerable box office revenue this time!"

"…knew."

Zhao Jinsong turned his head and wanted to leave, and Chen Mengxi explained again: "Don't worry, this is the first work we have made in two shots, and it's very important!"

"Mengxi, I don't understand very much."

"What?"

"Why don't you choose China and the United States if you have one or two films?"

Chen Mengxi was stunned for a moment: "I chose it, "Shake Beach" is one version of China and the United States!"

"I mean "Return to Twenty", I said it's not the same version between China and the United States? The return rate of the US market is far more powerful than that of the Korean market!"

Chen Mengxi was a little embarrassed: "...I just thought of the American market after I finished the shooting..."

"Okay, I understand..."

Why not one version of China and the United States?

Because the strategy of one book and two shots was originally aimed at co-production of China and South Korea!

Chen Mengxi didn't even think about the direction of the United States!

Later, he checked relevant information - box offices of similar movies, such as "Return to 17", with a box office of 65 million US dollars in North America; "Growing Up", a box office of 101 million US dollars in North America; "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", a box office of 100 million US dollars in North America...

What does it mean?

As long as the story is told well and paired with a few pretty good actors, this kind of "dream come true" movie is still very popular in North America.

Chicken soup is popular all over the world, and there is no reason!

This is the most important reason for firmly establishing his independent production.

But when this happened, the two Chinese and Korean versions of "Return to Twenty" were already promoted - Shanghai Film Festival, China-Korea Film Summit, and Busan Film Festival, have been promoted...

You can't cut off the Korean version and change it to the American version, right?

...

Zhao Jinsong left, and Chen Mengxi just turned on the computer to read the news. Song Hang walked in with a serious look on his face and told Chen Mengxi a very sad news:

"Thomas doesn't want to do "The Great Wall" anymore? Why?"

"…He felt that this story was not in line with American tastes…and…he might not trust your directorial ability very much!”

"The point is the second one, right?"

Chen Mengxi is quite angry...

Whether it fits the American taste is simply an excuse!

The top ten North American foreign language films have the most popular box office ticket list, and even "Chee Guevara" has been released in the United States...

——As long as there is profit, not to mention the military and civilians, they dare to shoot "Castro"!

In the final analysis, Legend Pictures still looks down on Chen Mengxi!

Song Hang smiled bitterly and explained: "...They may think you have never made a similar movie before, so they don't dare to invest!"

"…My "Manchester by the Sea" sold nearly $400 million worldwide, and it is not inferior to many commercial directors in terms of box office!"

"But "Manchester by the Sea" is a drama film that belongs to the marginal theme..."

"What did they think?"

Song Hang: "They want to invite a Hollywood director to direct this film..."

That’s right, Chen Mengxi is not a mainstream director, and he is also the producer and producer of "The Great Wall".

Legend Pictures has reason to doubt Chen Mengxi's ability.

But, looking for a Hollywood director to direct "The Great Wall"?

Chen Mengxi was speechless: "Hollywood knows China!"

"Legendary Film's expectation for "The Great Wall" is US$400 million, of which the box office in North America must exceed 100 million... They think the box office in mainland China is at most US$150 million..."

"They don't look down on the Chinese market?"

"How is it possible..." Song Hang first denied it, and then said: "But the Chinese market has not reached the level of the Japanese benzene market!"

That's true...

Even this year, with the blessing of several Mengxi films, the box office in the mainland was only 12 billion...

Not as good as Japanese, British, and France.

The film market is currently ranked fifth in the fifth box office revenue...

"How much does that "The Last Samurai" cost to Tom Cruise?"

"One hundred million US dollars, the Japanese benzene market contributed more than $120 million in box office!"

“…treat differently!”

Chen Mengxi is a little unhappy...

Of course it's not how good the movie "The Last Samurai" is...

The movie promotes the white savior: Tom Ge's character kills her husband, stabs her brother, and finally gets a widow. This is a bare colonial invasion!

Also known as "The First US Army stationed in Japan"...

Ending: Tom Cruise finally returned to the village where there were basically no men left and took over everything: the land, the honest peasants, and of course the women left by the dead warriors... Is this too ironic and realistic?

This broken movie has a Douban score of up to 8.0!

Is there anything wrong?

"They don't want to invest or hand over the project to us..."

"Then let them go and let's play ourselves!"

"Then... the title is not easy to use..."

"This is a problem... The title of "The Great Wall" is so good!"

Chen Mengxi also hesitated for a moment...

A good movie title can guarantee that the movie will be more than half of the money, such as "Breaking into the Widow's Village at Night" and "Best Friends"...

"I will go to the Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival in a few days and I will have an interview with Thomas Childcare!"

“Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival?”

"Look for some overseas distributions for "Donkey Dessert" and "The Piano of Steel"..."

...

Chen Mengxi's attention is all about "The Great Wall"...

But the film market is in full swing.

To this end, "Return to Twenty" had to seize every opportunity to strive for exposure...

What is the best way?

Of course it’s a roadshow...and music communication!

"Returning to Twenty" has a bunch of original music that can be called golden songs.

"Remembering" and "Waiting for the Wind" both topped the major music rankings.

In addition, "Return to Twenty" has another promotional point: the new director Su Lun is also a female director!

Before the company could prepare to hype Sulun, Feng Xiaogang fired the first shot.

On the 25th, he took "If You Are the One 2" to the "New Lecture Hall" of the Beijing Film Academy and talked with many students to share various experiences such as filming.

Then respond publicly to the problem of implanting ads.

"Patch advertising and implanted advertising are not the same concept. Regarding the patch advertising of "Non-2", the producer Huayi Brothers strictly follows the eight-minute regulations of ****! We have no fees to be stipulated by any law!"

"I think some media have used this issue to fight hard to vent their personal anger, including Xinhua News Agency, who said that everything was slander. Then I know who it is. During the Tangshan Earthquake, they said that Chinese movies were related to GDP. Our box office on the first day exceeded that of "Avatar". The reporter went to the film bureau to see what the numbers were like, but after checking, he still had doubts. I don't understand why he was angry at Chinese movies? Then he published such articles and sowed discord. He praised Jiang Wen there and derogatory us here!"

Not only that, he also posted five Weibo posts in a row to target this reporter:
