Chapter 42 Anyone can talk big! (5/5)
"Teacher's Diary": It turns out that there is a person in this world who does what you have done, listens to the songs you have heard, reads the books you have read, walks the road you have walked, and enjoys the scenery you have enjoyed...
We love similarities, pursue the sameness, and have a common concept. Although we have never met each other, it is like we have known each other for a long time...
When we finally met, we smiled like an old friend...
It's like this until I'm old...
It's a very romantic love, the director is Wen Muye and the producer Su Lun.
This kind of fresh and fresh movie is basically a way for Mengxi to train new directors.
The investment in movies is very low, and the main signs of actors are also the pay + dividend model.
Coupled with the advertising implantation, the entire movie achieved the feat of recovering costs without being released...
But, Mengxi Romance Film has a chassis of 200 million!
Zhao Liying is very clear that if the box office of "Teacher Diary" is less than 200 million, it means that her debut failed...
So, in cooperation with the publicity, of course, she also had a little selfish intention, and she and Chen Xiao started CP.
It is very simple to speculate on CP: find a few self-media to post a specious press release.
Let’s go on variety shows together, cultivate potential CP fans, and cut various CP videos through potatoes and Weibo;
Social media such as Douban and Weibo have thrown topics involving two people, attracting wider discussions;
Cooperate with new dramas, operate dramas and live CPs!
For example, land CP is a very typical example. I won’t write the title of the press release when there were various bindings...
Of course, there are risks in CP speculation. If it is too popular, it will easily be backfired...
Shen Mengxi didn't know about these...
Even if he knows, he can't object - the fish raised in the fish pond will one day be eaten by others!
...
Company, Shen Mengxi's office, Zhang Yimou is reading the script - "Pain and Glory", the script written by Shen Mengxi, his next drama.
"What do you think?"
"…very good!"
Ah put down his book and nodded...
"Pain and Glory" originally tells the life of a film director Salva in his later years, and is also considered an autobiographical film of Almodovar.
The life story of a film director in his later years, including first love, second love, mother, death, some actors he worked with, spanning the 60s, 80s and now, an unaccommodating sense of emptiness caused him to be unable to make movies now...
Shen Mengxi used Ah as the prototype and made some modifications.
That's right, he is going to convince A to star in "Pain and Glory"...
This movie is very difficult to make: First of all, in terms of the theme dimension, it involves major themes such as family, friendship, love, career (directorship career), illness and death? Each theme can independently become the focus of a film.
At the same time, the time dimension spans a wide range: from childhood to old age. It should be clearly explained in a time dimension of less than two hours? The difficulty is beyond imagination.
The original script cleverly used a layered structure to make this difficult thing happen easily - the elderly director Salvador was extremely talented when he was young? He won many glory 32 years ago? Because he was very dissatisfied with his movie "Taste", he has been resuming the film. For decades, physical and mental pain has been with him. But one day, he watched the last movie he made again, began to reverse his past views and reconcile with the movie.
The whole story revolves around "Taste".
Chen Mengxi changed to the "Unnamed" movie...
The script needs to be improved - after all, it involves a lot of privacy? He has only heard of it!
"Can you star in it?"
"I?"
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "I'd better forget it? The audience won't like to see my old face!"
"…No, this movie pays tribute to "Eight and Half Movies" and "Wild Strawberry". I don't plan to win many box offices!"
That’s right, after more than a year of short stops, Chen Mengxi decided to shoot a movie starring Ah? To hit Cannes, Oscars...
A sufficient gimmick may lead to a bumper harvest in the market...
"I'll consider it..."
Ah always feels a little reluctant to let this script...
"It's okay? I also want to improve the script. Why do I have to wait until the Great Wall is released? Start this project..."
Ah nodded and asked Chen Mengxi: "Have you read "Lu Fei Yan Shi"?"
"Look it out... If you want to take a photo, just take it? I'll give you some advice..."
"you say."
"Can this movie be made into black and white images?"
"ah?"
"Just the simplest movie mode..."
"Aren't you worried about the market?"
Chen Mengxi smiled: "...Director Zhang? Our company does not lack directors who can make box offices? What we lack is directors who can make good movies!"
Ah nodded and was about to say something, but someone knocked on the door. It was Zhao Jinsong.
"Then I'll leave first..."
"I'll send you..."
...
After seeing A off, Zhao Jinsong asked Chen Mengxi: "Director Zhang talks to you about "Lu Fei Yanshi"?"
"Yes, he likes that story very much and is ready to start filming...I agree."
Zhao Jinsong nodded after hearing this...
He has confidence in A--A's movies have a basic foundation, two movies: "33 Days of Love Break" and "Die Renjie", and "Love of Hawthorn Tree" almost exceeded 100 million...
Then asked: "Walking with God" exceeded 1.5 billion. Should I hold a celebration banquet?"
“…has the Asian box office summary?”
"Nibene has not yet been released. As of now, the box office in Asia is US$332 million, and the box office in South Korea is US$86 million..."
Chen Mengxi smiled: "Let's hold a celebration banquet... By the way, how is the box office of "Teacher Diary"?"
Zhao Jinsong: "It's okay, it's 140 million in the first six days, and the total box office is expected to be 300 million..."
140 million in the first six days...
This result is not enough to be seen last year, but this year it is very good!
So, Chen Mengxi said with satisfaction: "Then let's celebrate together!"
"Um…"
Zhao Jinsong didn't leave...
Chen Mengxi looked at him strangely: "What else is there?"
"Huayi held a "Tai Chi" press conference yesterday and announced that it will be scheduled for National Day..."
"I knew it a long time ago... It's okay, "The Big Winner" will definitely win!"
Zhao Jinsong waved his hand: "It's not this, it's Chen Guofu said something."
Chen Mengxi: "Hmm? What did he say?"
Zhao Jinsong took out his cell phone and read it: "I am usually more subtle and low-profile. Several movies have joined the same schedule one after another, which means that they do not take "Tai Chi" seriously. Among the movies I directed or produced, only "The Wind" and "Die Renjie" were released on the 11th schedule, and neither of these two movies failed. So I seriously advise the films in the same schedule to be carefully considered!"
Chen Mengxi looked up in surprise: "Original words?"
"Yes, the original words!"
"So crazy?"
"We have responded..."
"What did you say?"
"Song Hang replied in an interview: Everyone can tell you big talk, but I think they should be cautious."
I waited for a long time and there was no further text...
