Chapter 144 Much Attention (3/5)
"The most popular time of "Science Fiction World" was in the 1990s. At that time, domestic science fiction readers discussed that Lao Wang's works were very suitable for adaptation into movies because they were highly dramatic and had elements of action and thriller."
"But at that time everyone thought that the threshold for Chinese science fiction adaptations was lack of money and technology..."
"And science fiction is related to the economy and national strength to a certain extent. Science fiction films have always been regarded as the "barometer" that shows a country's national strength. A type of film with special attributes. Only when the country is strong enough can it be possible to make a real science fiction film."
"This is easy to understand. If "Song of Life" was filmed in the 1990s, there would be no audience watching the movie!"
The film screening ended, Chen Mengxi also has director Han Yan, producer Ning Hao, starring Li Xuejian, and nursery rhyme answers reporters' questions.
The heroine of "Song of Life" is positioned as 30+
Mengxi must ask for foreign aid!
There is no way, the actors under it are either born in the 1985 or born in the 1990s, and they really can't act.
Of course, it also has something to do with Wang Ran. Otherwise, so many actresses with 30+ will they use Xiao Zhang Ziyi for Mao?
Can't you just use Zhang Ziyi?
"China and Germany jointly filmed, and Europe simultaneously released..."
"…I don't think the co-production film should be particularly emphasized in terms of region. It is best to be a topic of common concern to humans, such as science fiction, thriller, and action."
"In addition to "Song of Life", the next film will be filmed "Bring Her Eyes", "Exotic"... Last year's "The Sad One" gave us a lot of confidence."
...
Chen Mengxi is just a producer, and the media interviews all topics such as movie plans.
The interviews are more about director Han Yan and starring Lee Xuejian…
Chen Mengxi did not overestimate the main point, answered a few irrelevant questions and left the scene directly...
He is very busy, too!
Cast of the online drama "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
"Pawnshop No. 8" casting...
Cast of "The Unconscious Mage"...
He was not particularly concerned about the last two films, and Tang Ren was responsible for the production;
"Ghost Blows Out the Light" can't be ignored, this is a work he produced!
I heard that "Pawnshop No. 8" has been in touch with Nie Yuan, which is quite good. His Seven Nights Demon Lord was impressed by him. The heroine seemed to have chosen Chen Xiaoyun, an actress who withdrew from the national team because of her excessive development;
"The Unsincere" is a pure newcomer lineup...
Anyway, the dark loli will definitely choose Chen Yao!
The industry has not paid much attention to the first two movies, and they are all asking about the casting of the online drama "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!
After all, this is a big IP with sales of over 10 million.
Chen Mengxi made a sign with "Ghost Blows Out the Light"!
In fact, the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series is very easy to shoot - as long as you don't change the show, select actors blindly, follow the original work, and the Douban score is above eight points!
The director chose Fei Zhenxiang, Zhou You, Yu Qing, Yang Miao, and Buick. Except for Fei Zhenxiang who was born in 1978, the other three are born in the 1980s...
Producer Kong Sheng, Chen Mengxi…
The filming team is basically the young backbone of Mengxi...
Followed "The Great Wall"!
It can also be seen from the behind-the-scenes team that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is definitely created based on the Tudou Taiwan drama.
However, the outside world has always been unclear about the selection of actors. First-line actors are more reserved. Second-line actors really try every means to inquire, but the final decision is in the hands of Shen Mengxi!
First of all, Hu Bayi, Pan Yueming, Qin Hao, Xia Yu, Qin Hao had no idea to act in the eight seasons in a row. Xia Yu took over the Big Gold Teeth in "The Dragon Search". Chen Mengxi personally chatted with Pan Yueming...
I feel that Lao Pan is the kind of actor who is particularly good at handling roles. He does not belong to an actor with "face-changing" acting skills. He maintains his unique character.
His advantage is that he can play his true nature according to the needs of character creation, and comfortably integrate character traits and his own traits. If he does it well, he can even add color to the character.
But the premise of these is that you must have a deep understanding of the role...
It's him!
——Every man who has experienced the White Lotus Gift is a treasure!
Fatty must look for Jiang Xun, born suitable!
Shirley Yang…
Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang is not popular enough and has insufficient coffee. Shirley Yang must choose an actress with enough weight!
The question is that one sign will be eight seasons, who should I look for?
Chen Qiao, huh?
She is 34!
Zhang Yuqi?
Can people watch online dramas?
Moreover, I don’t know if you can bear her voice, I can’t accept it anyway!
Alas, because the sound destroys many good actors, the typical one is Tianhaiつばさ…
...
Well, Chen Mengxi actually circled Jin Chen, Tang Yixin and Li Qin...
Jin Chen is the most suitable. Although "Walking with Gods" has a big hit, the movie has little to do with her. Her role is the NPC who simply promotes the plot...
It has a good reputation, a good figure, long legs, and is clamped around the waist...
Pooh!
Mainly it is well-known!
But we also need to meet several other candidates.
The company, Chen Mengxi was waiting for someone while watching the movie market report.
Kong Sheng and Zhouyou next to him, Fei Zhenxiang was chatting...
On the first day of "Song of Life" was released, theaters gave 28% of the film schedule - giving enough face, with 27,000 shows on the first day!
In comparison, "The Chef Player" scheduled 25% on the first day, and "The Loyal and Martyr Yang Family General" scheduled 15% on the first day...
Mengxi’s distribution capabilities are really strong enough!
The first day was 27 million, the next day was 46 million, and the next day was 32 million, and the first weekend successfully exceeded 100 million...
The box office in Europe is not bad, the box office in France is 110,000 in the first weekend, Italy, Spain, and the UK have nearly $1.5 million in addition...
As the base camp, Germany closed at $1.9 million in the first weekend!
The key is that the reputation is very good, "SCREEN", "Visual and Audio" and "Guardian" both gave positive reviews.
The United States will also be released simultaneously...
It is expected that the overseas box office in Europe and the United States will be at least 20 million US dollars!
Plus Southeast Asia, East Asia…
"Song of Life" should have a box office of $30 million overseas.
Very good results. Compared with the box office of "The Sadman" in Europe, "Song of Life" can be considered a rapid progress!
So science fiction themes are universal global...
However, Chen Mengxi was still a little unsatisfied - the German box office did not meet expectations, with a $1.9 million USD on the first weekend, and Till Schweig's appeal was not obvious enough!
Germany is a big Hollywood box office. Most of the movies sold in North America can get at least $50 million in box office!
Thank God for the final box office of "Song of Life"!
——The cost of this movie is as high as 60 million. After all, Til Schweig took away $3 million in his own salary...
To put it another way, "Song of Life" is not the first Sino-German joint film. To be honest, "Resident Evil 5" is the only one. The movie was miserable. When it was released, it caught up with "Inner Beauty" and "Die Hard 5", and then it met "Beijing Meets Seattle"...
In the end, the box office exceeded 100 million, and it can only be said that Tangtang failed to take advantage of the situation...
Her fans have not yet gathered.
"Mr. Chen, Miss Tang Yixin is here and is in the living room..."
Chapter completed!
