"director!"

"Hello, host." Chen Mengxi welcomed him enthusiastically.

Chen Mengxi really likes "Chinese Movie Report" - a program that can speak good things no matter what the situation is!

Even "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" can praise the flowers...

In fact, such reporting programs are basically out of viewership in self-media, especially after Weibo becomes popular. If you really care about the project, you will go to the official Weibo group to see some special highlights.

"Director, can you talk to us about the progress of "The Great Wall"?"

"The real shot is almost over, and the post-production time is fully entered..."

"So how long is this time?"

"16 months, we expect the 16-month late-stage + special effects time."

Yao Miao looked at Chen Mengxi and suddenly asked, "Director, why do you want to do "The Great Wall"?"

Why shoot?

After a moment of silence, Chen Mengxi spoke, "I met Cameron in Los Angeles at the end of last year. What do you think of his first words?"

“What is it?”

"How can we turn "Avatar 2" into a Sino-US co-production? Is it enough to invite Chinese actors to participate?"

"How do you answer?"

"I said it's impossible!"

"Why?"

"He clearly came to make money. The sharing of imported films is different from the sharing of co-productions..."

After a pause, Chen Mengxi continued: "China's market has expanded too quickly. It is estimated that the box office market will rank second in the world at the end of this year. What's the point of having a market alone? Most of our productions still do not meet the requirements of the audience. They excitedly spent money to enter the theater, but came out and cursed. If this continues, we may have a market of 35 billion yuan or even 40 billion yuan, but it does not mean that this money belongs to Chinese movies! The European market is also very large, but their market belongs to American movies. Do we still have to repeat the path they have taken?"

"The film industry must be upgraded through industrialization, standardization and typification..."

"So we did "Walking with God" and "The Great Wall", both of which are considered heavy industry movies."

“What is heavy industry?”

"Hollywood mainstream commercial films, high-concept, high-tech, and high-investment top commercial blockbusters, mainly science fiction, magic and action films. These types are more suitable for global distribution, such as "Avatar" is a typical heavy industry film!"

Chen Mengxi didn't talk much...

It is a consensus in the industry to fight against Hollywood, but for many viewers, it doesn’t matter, they are just watching movies!

So, there is no need to describe Hollywood as cruel...

It just bore the audience!

Haven't you seen Cameron proposes "Avatar 2" to be a Sino-US co-production film. A bunch of netizens wrote, "I am really worthy of being the God of Cards, I'm just here to make money!", "The God of Cards is so awesome, this is the strategy of the top commercial directors!"

No, is it as for kneeling down like this?

What do you know? Others don’t have the chance to kneel down. Hurry up, don’t stand...

...

The filming of "The Great Wall" has ended, and Chen Mengxi can finally leave temporarily!

The special effects guidance is Lindy De Quatro, the special effects director before the Digital Kingdom, participated in "Titanic", later resigned, joined Industrial Light and Magic, and created "Legend of Narnia" and "X-Men Wolverine"...

He participated in the special effects planning of the Great Wall throughout the whole process.

With him here, Chen Mengxi just needs to read the report regularly.

Still the same thing, Chen Mengxi can only be considered a slight understanding of special effects - of course, he knows that special effects are very important, so he spends a lot of money every year to support the special effects team...

Most of the movies in Brun House are left to the Mengxi Special Effects Team for the later stages, saving costs on the one hand, and training the team on the other hand.

The best of both worlds.

However, "The Great Wall" has entered its later stage and will not accept other orders...

...

When he returned to Beijing, he had a good sleep first.

Then, still have a lot of thought...

It's normal. With such a big project as "The Great Wall", he really wishes he would pay attention to it every second...

I simply asked Lao Zhao for tickets to Zhang Deyun Club and prepared to listen to crosstalk.

"I really didn't expect that you would actually listen to crosstalk?"

“…It’s entertainment…”

He was too lazy to go fishing, and he had too many ideas in his mind, so he couldn't figure it out even if he fished...

Just go and listen to crosstalk. At least a few hours, it’s all about Lao Guo’s jokes!

"Say good news, "Brismaids" has a big box office!"

Chen Mengxi got into the car and replied casually: "I know this... Paul Feige is an awesome director!"

Indeed, "The White-Headed Detective 3" debuted...

To put it in the 1970s, nonsensical and spoof movies emerged, with representative works such as "Unprecedented Flying All over the Sky" and "The White-Headed Detective". In the 1990s, such movies underwent special effects evolution, and other works such as "Anti-Fighting Condor" and "The Disguised Monster". Without exception, these movies have achieved high box office and high returns.

After entering the new century, this type of movie seems to be gone, only "Shocking Laughing" and "Hangover" series...

Paul Feige is very good at playing with shit and peeing!

Of course, when you become serious, you are also awesome - he directed the first season of "Mad Men".

He still lacks his own soul mate, but the "Brathermaid" has been found, which is Melissa McCarthy. Later, they will work together "Female Spy", "Hot Cop", and "Super Death Squad"...

Of course, "Super Death Squad" suffered a huge loss...

"Brathermaids" won $168 million in North America and $112 million in overseas box office, but Bren House only accounts for one-third of the revenue. This movie was produced by Judd Apatow...

The two major comedy teams in Hollywood, Judd Apato, the Apato Party led by Judd Apato, and the Bad Boys with Ben Stiller as the center.

They are very expensive.

Lao Zhao continued: "Mingxi's Lu Xiaoran thinks "Brismaids" can be made into a Chinese version..."

"…Let Liu Yifei, Yang Xiaomi, and Tang Yan form a team to play shit?"

"No, he means to make a work that reflects the love of a bestie..."

"Whatever he is," the protagonist of the book...

This is my plane!

Chen Mengxi yawned: "Is there anything else?"

“Help was a big hit at the box office!”

""help"?"

"Yes." Lao Zhao continued: "North America's box office was US$168 million, and it was nearly 50 million overseas..."

Chen Mengxi thought: "It seems that the so-called political incorrectness of black people cannot make the market not buy it!"

"…right."

Lao Zhao also knew that during the release of "Help", he encountered a black team protest...

What to protest?

They believe that Help seriously weakened the racial conflict at that time and was a film that made white audiences feel good about themselves...

Resolutely resist!

But, this $20 million movie is now selling for 168 million...

This shows that mainstream North American audiences accepted it enthusiastically!

This is very embarrassing. Between political correctness and market, it is estimated that most investors will choose the market...

“These two films bring close to $30 million in revenue…”

"Why is it only $3,000?"
Chapter completed!
