At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 605 No Pressure
Regarding Wang Ziwen, what Shen Xudong remembers most is actually the sound of water in "The Murder Chaser"...

It is the sound of golden sticks making noise in the seabed cave, about 35 minutes and 24 seconds.

By the way, there is also Qu Xiaoxiao in "Ode to Joy".

For an actor, there is a role that many audiences will never forget, and even call your character's name when they see you on the street, on the subway or on the bus.

Already a great success.

Let's be honest, just based on her relationship with Wang Shuo, it's not difficult to play a few good roles and then become famous. Yuan Shikong, after she got involved with Wang Shuo, she first made a cameo appearance in "Have a Good Time" and then appeared in Zhao Baogang's "Home, Nth Power", "Hang Gang", and later appeared in "Tangshan Earthquake", "1942"...

Why do you want to get to know Shen Xudong?
Probably because I think Xudong is handsome!
Shen Xudong stood at the entrance of the hotel, chatted with Xu Fan for a while, and then was called over by Feng Xiaogang.

The two leaned against the wall and both lit cigarettes...

Talking about "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown": "You can only feel this film if you come to shoot it... Uncle Ge believes in you!"

"Geng Hao uses Huang Bo?"

"Hmm...Huang Bo's acting skills are not bad, and he did run around the stage when he was young and worked in a band!"

Feng Xiaogang was a little surprised: "Really?"

"Hmm...so, he has a charismatic aura about him. If you want him to play a handsome guy, he won't be able to play a president or something, but if you let him play a small role with a bit of a quack air, you can pinch him!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded: "Well..."

Then no more words.

After smoking half of a cigarette, Feng Xiaogang threw away half of the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go."

"I'm going to drive too."

……

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. In fact, many people in the current circle are not pleasing to the eyes of Tianmei Media and Shen Xudong.

Last year, only "Crazy Stone" and "National Witness" made money...

Other projects are mostly joint productions.

This year, it simply monopolized the Spring Festival and summer files...

So far, excluding imported Hollywood films, there are only four domestic films with a box office of over [-] million, all of which have been taken up by Tianmei Media, and they are all controlled by investment and distribution...

"Zhao Zilong", "Life Events", "Girls", "Big Movie"...

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible not to become the target of public criticism.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" was released at the same time as "C + Detective", a suspenseful crime film directed by Peng Shun and starring Aaron Kwok, Liao Qizhi, Cheng Kui'an, etc.

Released by Bona!

Bona is very keen on Tianmei Media - so far, none of the films that Bona has participated in investing in or distributing has exceeded [-] million at the box office.

The closest "Myth" has a box office of only 9700 million.

This year's summer file, "The True Colors of a Man" and "The Fuse" plus one: 6000 million box office...

——Originally, "The True Colors of a Man" was going to be handed over to Tianmei for distribution. Wasn't it because of the sequel to "Zhao Zilong", the talks with the producer Fang Huanyu collapsed, so Bona became the successor!
"The True Colors of a Man" was overwhelmed by "Tian Qian", and there were basically no reports.

Therefore, this time "C + Detective", Bona decided to do a good job in publicity and targeted marketing...

Then, Bona was surprised to find that Tianmei Media didn't seem to specifically promote "Xiu Chun Knife"-Xu Ke+Shen Xudong, the attention has already exploded, but martial arts fans must watch the movie immediately.

As for the follow-up results, they are all in September, and you are still pursuing a follow-up?

It would be nice to be able to recoup the cost!
The theme of martial arts is indeed outdated...

What is a martial arts movie?

What is the selling point?
The selling point of martial arts movies has always been the romance of flying over the roof and the frankness of love and hatred. Nothing without these two points cannot be regarded as a martial arts movie!
But this kind of routine is difficult to innovate, so you can only work hard on the scene, but...you can't play Hollywood in visual effects...

However, when it comes to "Embroidered Spring Knife", Xu Ke's filming is still very refreshing, especially the part where the three brothers stand out from the encirclement and the admiral framed him unsuccessfully, the filming is very touching...

Lu Yang focused on the plot, Xu Ke focused on the action design, and Shen Xudong suggested that Wia's strength should not be upward but downward.

Xu Ke attaches great importance to this point, so in "Xiu Chun Knife", you can often see the character suddenly bend down and sideways in a posture that ordinary people cannot do, to avoid the opponent's moves or stab a deadly sword, The smooth and exquisite movements have never been used in martial arts films before!
Inheriting the strengths of the new wave of martial arts films relying on sharp editing to enhance the dynamics, but without making the editing of fighting scenes too trivial to lose the coherent beauty...

According to the words of many martial arts fans: book the best action design of the year in advance.

Oh, there are also surprises at the box office, the first weekend 'catch' 4200 million...

Uh, it's not comparable to the few movies in the summer, but it's more than twice as expected!

4200 million in the first weekend, which means that the total box office is likely to exceed [-] million. Of course, the September schedule is very cold, breaking [-] million... The probability is very unlikely, and it is not much worse.

In addition, Xu Ke is still somewhat well-known in Asia. After the box office and word-of-mouth of "Embroidered Spring Knife" was released in the mainland, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions have also been released...

It is estimated that it can also collect several million box office results.

It's already very good. You must know that Xu Ke's martial arts has not been released in Southeast Asia for a long time-the "Wind of the King" back then made Southeast Asian filmmakers miserable!

……

On the 11th, Shen Xudong came to the company as usual...

Many people in the company are discussing the box office of "Xiu Chun Knife". To be honest, the first weekend of "Xiu Chun Knife" has indeed exceeded the company's expectations.

In the office, Zhao Linhai hit the nail on the head: "I think you underestimated your appeal!"

Chen Xi added: "That is, "Supplements" has sold more than 200 million copies, and these readers alone can contribute more than 6000 million at the box office!"

"You are famous for writing martial arts. If the best martial arts writer meets the best martial arts director, it's no wonder that "Embroidered Spring Knife" didn't succeed!"

"Then why didn't you say it earlier!"

Chen Xi was embarrassed: "...We are only an afterthought...Otherwise, "Embroidered Spring Knife" would never have released a total of 450 copies, and many third-tier towns did not arrange filming at all...Many of your readers are in third-tier towns..."

Oh, 450 copies, actually Shen Xudong nodded...

Still the same sentence, I really didn't expect "Xiu Chun Knife" to be a big hit...

"Control the outflow of pirated copies..."

"I'm working hard..." Chen Xi suddenly said, "I heard that because of the poor box office of "C+ Detective", many theaters chose to release it directly!"

"Then... did you earn back the copying fee?"

"It's hard to say... Now audio-visual copyrights are hard to sell!"

In the past, for films like "C+ Detective" with Hong Kong stars, even if the box office was not good, the audio-visual copyright started at 300 million...

But... the advent of the internet changed that paradigm!

Especially after speeding up, it was a devastating blow.

During the popularization of the Internet in my country, the speed of the Internet has not improved significantly for a long period of time. At that time, it often took a day or more to download a pirated movie resource, so the DVDs of that period still had a lot of value. competitiveness.

But as the network speed increases, the time to download pirated resources is shortened...

For the disc industry, this thing is a devastating blow!
