Chapter 51 Subtle Feelings
The atmosphere in the hot pot restaurant is very strong.
Zhang Xiaobei asked: "Mengxi, why didn't you attend the seminar?"
Chen Mengxi: "It's boring, I'm too lazy to go..."
The seminar is to listen to the big guys from all walks of life. No, it should be to make suggestions for the development of Chinese films...
What are some suggestions?
If you have less control over the above, support the policy, and the movie will be able to get up immediately!
Never underestimate the creativity of Chinese filmmakers!
Even if there are only fake prosperity with good numbers, it will be prosperity at all.
“Stone is really good…”
"We are going to give an appreciation of "Stone" an issue!"
Chen Mengxi: "That's great...but one movie can last for one period? Can it be held up?"
"So, we need a little insider!"
"Ask, you know everything!"
"First of all, it's investment, it's really less than 4 million?"
"To be precise, it's 3.8 million. Producer Yu Guangzhao signed an agreement with Ning Hao with gentleman, so he gave 3 million, just by paying the progress and content. Therefore, Ning Hao was very free to shoot, and in the end he exceeded 500,000. Ning Hao paid for it himself."
"Then how did you get the investment right?"
Chen Mengxi hesitated for a moment and replied: "...To be honest, the producers of Hong Kong cannot understand the mainland market at all. They don't think "Stone" is awesome. I bought half of the investment amount for 2 million yuan... But there is no need to say these in the show. Just say that Liu Dehua appreciates me, and we will cooperate with works on the Three Kingdoms theme in the future..."
"Theme of "Three Kingdoms"?"
"It's a TV series, don't worry, it's still being created..."
Hearing this, they nodded...
It is natural to think that this creator is Chen Mengxi...
"I seem to hear that when Ning Hao got the quota for Asian new star directors, he wanted to make a "Red Racing"?"
"Yes, but the money is not enough... Don't worry, he should be able to film "Red Racing" in the future, and should be renamed "Crazy Racing"... It is still a multi-line narrative, and now he is in seclusion and sorting out the script!"
"Then how much money did you make?"
"We made a profit of a mainland box office share, and a mainland copyright share... Hong Kong investors made more money. In fact, Asia's new star director was advocated by Star TV. Mr. Liu Dehua is the spokesperson for the card. The work of the "New Star Director" program was sold to Star TV from the beginning, and it has obtained a very stable income. In addition, other countries such as Niben also sold the issuance rights, which has long been achieved in balance of revenue and expenditure..."
"The right to issue Japanese benzene was negotiated later. The new star director had a Taiwanese director Li Yunchan's "Mermaid Duo" shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival and was successfully released to Japanese benzene, which led the distributor to buy six "new star director" movies."
“Are so many behind-the-scenes stories?”
"Of course, in addition to vision, luck is also important in making movies!"
Here, it was almost a special session for Chen Mengxi. Several people took turns asking questions, and he answered...
At the same time, a private dish in Beijing, Jiang Nan and her classmates, became the core figure. The treatment she enjoyed was similar to that of Chen Mengxi, and they were asking her questions...
Insider news about "Painted Skin"...
"You really have to do "Painted Skin"?"
Jiang Nan replied: "Well, we have invested 8 million in the early stage. We invited the character concept and original painting concept designed by Hibeno master Kitaka Amano... and several special effects companies were invited to participate in the script discussion, what to do... Scene modeling, yes, that's the word!"
"How much does that cost?"
"Mengxi said it would cost at least 90 million..."
Jiang Yiyan, who was sitting opposite her, sighed: "So rich!"
Jiang Nan quickly explained: "We didn't spend money, we were all invested. We published scripts, creative teams, actors..."
"Then... can they agree to invest?"
“…Aren’t you afraid of losses?”
"Yes, if you lose money in such a big project, what should the company do?"
Zhou Yang helped explain: "Investing in movies is a kind of gambling, and the real reactions in the market are completely unpredictable!"
Liu Yifei was in a very delicate mood as he listened to the discussions of his classmates...
In the past, she was the core figure and the parties revolved around her. Now, Jiang Nan has become the hostess...
Of course, she has a good relationship with Jiang Nan and is like a sister, but she is still a little sad...
Jiang Nan noticed Liu Tianxian's lonely eyes and quickly said, "Qianqian, how is your new album?"
"Me?" The students all looked at themselves, and Liu Tianxian replied: "It's okay, the producer is Mr. Otomo Mitsuyuki, and he is also considered a top producer in Riben..."
"Then is your focus now music?"
"No, I'm now working on a big Hollywood production..."
"Hollywood level?"
"What movie?"
"Are you the heroine?"
In an instant, the students asked a lot of questions, and Liu Tianxian bit her lip: "I can't say it, I'm still in the contact stage..."
That is, the project confidentiality stage...
Jiang Nan thought about it, approached Liu Tianxian's ear and asked in a low voice: "Is it the drama that Li Lianjie and Cheng Long collaborated on?"
“…How do you know?”
...
"Actually, I think "Golden Armor" is not that bad either. Lao Toko has been learning about Kurosawa Akira. "Golden Armor" is a tribute to "Ruan" in a sense. Unfortunately, he is not as restrained as Kurosawa Akira. The colors of "Ruan" are neat and unmoving as a mountain, and the colors of "Golden Armor" are too bright!"
"Anyway, I was stimulated by the last scene. The eunuch poured water to clean the blood in front of the hall and put the chrysanthemums on again..."
"Most people think of nude when they see Noko. They probably don't care what the movie is talking about!"
"I think "Golden Armor" is at least much better than "Ten-sided Ambush", and of course it's not as good as "Hero"..."
Shen Mengxi and Zhang Xiaobei discussed "Golden Armor", who believed that "Golden Armor" was shocking and was extremely luxurious garbage. Shen Mengxi disagreed...
In other words, "The Golden Armor" won 270 million yuan in 20 days of its release, surpassing "Hero", breaking the box office record of domestic movies...
They squatted on the road at the door of the hot pot restaurant, waiting for Long Bin and Gu Xiao to come out of the toilet.
"Do you highly recommend Zhang Yimou?"
"…Well, I really admire him, a genius director!"
"Then why didn't you look for him in "Painted Skin"?"
"...Isn't he busy directing the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? Moreover, "Painted Skin" is a very authentic Hollywood commercial narrative, so there is no need to find a big director..."
Zhang Xiaobei looked at Shen Mengxi and changed the topic: "Next week, Li Shaohong's "Sister's Love" will be released. Have they sent you a premiere invitation?"
"No... I can't go even if I give me an invitation!"
"What? You want to go to the end with her?"
