At first, I just wanted to make money

The two were in the airport departure hall. Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai who was texting Chang Xiaoxiang, and couldn't help but say, "Boss, I feel that you are different now?"

"...greasy?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Xudong nodded quickly, and then felt that something was wrong: "How do you know that there is the word you?"

Zhao Linhai: "Didn't you teach me that the most disgusting sign of a man is getting greasy!"

"...You know that you are greasy, so change it quickly!"

"If you stay in the distribution department for three months, you will become like me!"

"Our company also has a publishing department?"

"My sister set it up, and specially asked me to go over and help keep an eye on it..."

"Then you're in the same boat?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "I didn't..."

"Really?"

Shen Xudong expressed doubts. If not, how could he say something like 'sponsoring a beauty pageant or a model contest'?

Only veterans in the industry can understand this stuff!

Beauty pageants have existed since ancient times, and the earliest widely existed in the court, both in the East and the West.

In ancient times, the selection of concubines by emperors was the most grand beauty pageant in the country. At this time, regardless of their background, everyone had the opportunity to soar into the sky.

There are also folks. At that time, the objects of the beauty pageant were prostitutes, called "Priority Fair", and the oirans were selected!

In modern times, the most famous one should be the selection of Miss Hong Kong...

Many of our familiar stars entered the entertainment circle through Miss Hong Kong as a springboard, such as Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Manyu, Li Jiaxin...and Charmaine Sheh!

The way this game is played in the mainland has changed...

All kinds of sex scandals...

Zhao Linhai told the truth: "Actually, they told me. I just thought Boss Chen was very interesting, so I just gave him a suggestion..."

"...Don't go to the distribution department anymore... You are a screenwriter, don't make yourself such a philistine!"

Zhao Linhai smiled: "I have been transferred back to the screenwriting team, and I am in charge of the screenwriting of "Happy Heroes"!"

Shen Xudong hurriedly thanked: "...Thank you, boss!"

In "Happy Heroes", Shen Xudong didn't think of any good idea, so he simply gave up, and only made "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...

If he didn't do it, the company had already accepted the project, and Zhao Linhai came to clean up the mess.

Zhao Linhai waved his hand and changed the subject: "..."Happy Heroes" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...I don't think these two scripts are likely to get high ratings!"

"... CCTV broadcast, there is a lower limit..."

Afraid of smashing the ratings chassis!
In the original time and space, the audience rating of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is 0.62%...

This ratings are not high!

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong also simply said: "Let's do this, when it airs, if they have any objections, I'll help them write a high-rated book!"

"...Okay, let's go, time is up, let's board the plane!"

Zhao Linhai never doubted Shen Xudong's words...

Since he said to write a book with high ratings, it must be high ratings!

……

In the beginning, we used the eight major film studios to produce feature films that were distributed nationwide.

Later, each province had its own studios, such as Nanjing Film Studio, Lanzhou Film Studio, etc. These studios were basically established in the later period of Brother Wen, and they were mainly used for political propaganda. Yes, it was not used to make feature films for national distribution, but it was reformed later and can be produced!

The most typical one is Guangxi Film Studio, which can be said to be the benefactor of the fifth generation - "One and Eight" and "Yellow Earth" are both produced by Guangxi Film Studio!

Although it is a provincial first-level studio, it still covers from production to distribution, one-stop...

This has brought about a consequence: local protection is extremely serious!
That is to say, it is now market-oriented, put aside the 90s, not to mention Shen Xudong, even the movies produced by BJ Film Studio are difficult to sell copies in the south!

The Sichuan cinema chain ranks first, and the Pacific cinema chain ranks first.

Shen Xudong came here mainly to thank him.

"The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" has a national box office of 4180 million, of which Sichuan Pacific Cinemas contributed 560 million, ranking third, second only to New Film Federation and Shanghai United Cinemas...

It may also be that this film is more in line with the tastes of Pacific theater audiences!

But no matter what, "Legend of the Hunter in Xing'an Mountains" must rely on the Pacific Cinemas to line up a lot of films!

……

After going out for a walk, and returning to Shanghai, "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" has been in theaters for two days.

With "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" as a base and 800 million publicity funds, on April 4st, the box office of "Legend of the Hunter in Xing'an Mountains" reached 1 million on the first day, and over 1260 million in two days!
The effect is not bad...

But word-of-mouth...compared with "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" - the four stories of "Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter" failed to blend smoothly.

And...the suspenseful effect in the second half is a bit hip...

But the box office is even better!
Shen Xudong didn't understand, and it didn't affect him to promote the film. When he returned to Shanghai, he ran a few roadshows with Yang Xiaomi:

"It's segmented, with three paragraphs of rumors, lovesickness, and cause and effect, disrupting the narrative..."

"Study "Pulp Fiction"? No, I just want to stuff all three impressive legends into it..."

"Many times, you have to consider censorship. Horror films cannot produce excellent works in the current domestic environment. Under the shackles of policies, folk anecdotes cannot be shown on the screen, and various supernatural legends cannot make your hair stand on end... So, I We have to set the background of the story in the period of the Republic of China, and let the second master directly deny the existence of ghosts, and confirm the evil side of the human heart, and concretize the gods and ghosts into natural things."

"Thank you for your support..."

……

The road show promotion is basically a car wheel, because the questions asked by the media, reporters, and audiences are similar.

After tossing all afternoon, I set off for Wuhan.

Shen Xudong slept all the way, and only woke up at the hotel.

Getting out of the car, he was about to eat something, and then he noticed Yang, a fan following him, and patted her: "Xiaomi...what are you thinking?"

Yang Xiaomi was a little afraid of him, so she hurriedly took a step back: "Ah...it's nothing...shall we go eat?"

"... "

Because of the sharp mouth thing last time?
Isn't that not enough time, and the location is not suitable...

Plus drank some wine and did something over the top!
Changed the subject: "Why are you and the director the only ones in this promotion? Where's Brother Hu?"

"I heard from Lao Cai that Lao Hu and the others are going to rehearse a play, and they can't ask for leave..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "What kind of crappy school? You can't even ask for leave for a promotional film? He's a junior this year, right?"

"...Well, it should be!"

"We are in the opera, and we don't have to stay in school in the third year. The performance of the opera is really amazing!"

Yang Xiaomi nodded: "We can come out to film in our freshman year at Nortel!"

"I know!"

"…you know?"

"I went to your school to choose a role..."

It's true, the school spirit of Chinese opera is very strict, and it is stipulated that before the junior year, they are not allowed to go out to accept plays.

Nortel, on the other hand, was much more relaxed and focused on the current development of the students. Not only did they encourage them to take on roles, but they also formulated acting profiles for each of them, clearly writing their resumes, so as to facilitate the casting of the crew.

Back then when "The Best Family" went to Nortel to cast roles, Shen Xudong chose two: Zhu Yuwen and Lu Fangsheng...

"Are you coming to our school to cast a role?"

"Yes... that's when I saw your photo, so..."

"So, you recommended me to join these two dramas?"

"... I can understand that too!"

Yang Xiaomi nodded thoughtfully: "...then I forgive you!"

Tomorrow's birthday, try to add more...

Five more starts!
