At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 616 What else can I do to make money?
The scale of "Plaything" this time is very large, sexual entertainment, abuse and so on, although it is not as clear as "Lust, Caution", but... it is so good that I didn't watch the reed on the big screen.

Don't worry, "Lust, Caution" will be released next month...

Just to add a word, a woman depends on her temperament, not on her skin. Many teachers have no soul, and they rely on instinct to react. Their acting skills are really poor. They don't have that charm or strength, but Tang Wei is really good. Come on!
Hey, the current movies are getting worse and worse, two hours of shopping, although the time is long, but there is no quality at all, let's learn from "Lust, Caution", although it is only a few minutes, but it has been tempered for a long time !

Ahem...

Many netizens on the Internet are booing to release "Plaything" in mainland theaters...

Of course, the mainstream media reports on the film still focus on "Rising Fame". After all, this is Shen Xudong's first film directed by Shen Xudong. It was released for eight days, 1.6 million, and 11 days for 1.8 million...

Breaking [-] million is just around the corner!
No matter the box office or word of mouth, it has created a miracle...

……

On the 12th, Shen Xudong led the team, and the crew of "Being Famous and Li Wan" returned to the capital.

The last wave of publicity!

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the largest cinema hall was already overcrowded. The first two rows were completely occupied by reporters, and the audience could only squeeze in the back to take pictures.

On the stage, Shen Xudong brought Shen Teng and Uncle Ge to hold a meeting.

"Hello Director Shen, congratulations on your movie box office success."

A female reporter flattered her when she came up, and then asked, "Then can you predict how much the final box office of this film will be?"

"Uh, to be honest," Shen Xudong pondered for a while, and then said: "...It should be between 2.2 million and 2.3 million...Our company's publishing team gave a prediction similar to mine, although the media said it was more than 2 million , I don’t think it’s possible, the market for October is here, and "Taken [-]" will be released today, so there must be some film schedules and attention!"

"Why did you arrange for "Taken 2" to be released on the 12th?"

"The distribution company in the United States has set the date on the 12th, and we can't stop it..."

The reporter changed the question: "...Does the word-of-mouth and box office of "Rising Fame" still meet your expectations?"

"It's okay, my goal at the beginning was to make [-] million at the box office..."

"Do you have any plans for the next work?"

"No..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "I have to say, I became a director just to prove that I have the ability to direct a movie..."

"Then your next plan?"

"I should continue to work on the Three Kingdoms series, and I have to help Mr. Jiang Wen write scripts and plan new movies..."

"You want to cooperate with Jiang Wen?"

"...Well, this is what we agreed upon when we filmed "Rising Fame"!"

About [-] questions were answered, mainly focusing on "Rising Fame" and Shen Xudong. Uncle Ge also answered a few questions. Shen Teng was a little embarrassed and was directly passed by the reporters. small role.

The host of the meeting asked, "Any questions?"

"I have a!"

Uh, it's a reporter from The Beijing News.

"You ask!"

"Director Shen, what do you think of the ban on the release of "Plaything" in the Mainland?"

"Cough..." Shen Xudong coughed: "Let me explain, the film "Plaything" has not been submitted for review from the beginning, which means that from the beginning, we never thought of releasing it in the mainland, just like "New World" , didn’t report for trial at all, so naturally it can’t be called banning!”

"Why didn't you report it?"

Shen Xudong asked back: "Have you watched "Plaything"?"

"No…"

"Let me tell you, the selling point of the movie "Plaything" is unspoken rules, sexual entertainment, abuse...that is, the dewy cyan drama...This kind of movie has been a tertiary movie from the beginning, and it does not meet the taste of the mainstream market...If If it was deleted, the film would not be necessary to be shot... So, we simply did not submit it for review!"

Eh?Why is it different from what I predicted?
The reporter hurriedly asked: "...Then don't you think it's unfair?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "The regulations are here, and they are not just for my movie...what is there to complain about?"

"That…"

Shen Xudong stopped him from continuing the chat: "You first figure out what a mainstream commercial film is, and then talk to me!"

Yu Ji was not so easy to convince, and finally asked: "Then why did you make "Plaything"?"

"I just see those Hong Kong stars upset, publicly claiming that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is clean and powerful, and I think it's quite fake... It's the same as who doesn't know what's going on with them. They invented the word fame..." Speaking of this , Shen Xudong changed his words: "Well, it's actually for making money. I feel that this subject matter is interesting, and the shooting cost is low... Qiu Litao is also a famous fast shooter, and he will definitely make money, so let's invest!"

Fuck off!

I have never seen this kind of nonsense with open eyes. The reporters off the field knew very well that "Plaything" must be related to Shen Xudong's experience in Hong Kong.
The media at this stage is still conscientious, unlike the later generations, who are good at instigating the confrontation between the North and the South. Their writings are basically bragging when they meet the South, and black when they meet the North.

"Any question?"

"I wonder if 'Plaything' is an allusion to..."

"I'm just an investor in "Plaything". I have nothing to do with the specific plot of the movie, the filming, including the choice of actors... Would you like to ask about "Rising Fame"?"

When those guys saw it, they knew that they couldn't ask any serious information, so they sat down resentfully.

……

A few names were revealed, regardless of whether they are true or not, and they immediately attracted a lot of attention...

Isn't this nonsense, where did the prototype of "Plaything" come from, no matter how rampant the Emperor is, he would not dare to force people to death.

But the Hong Kong media is famous for having no bottom line...

Golden Harvest issued a statement: The story of "Plaything" refers to the Korean film circle and the Hong Kong film circle in the 80s. The prototype characters neutralize the cases of Korean movie stars and Hong Kong movie stars... It is absolutely not aimed at anyone. Please refer to the relevant media Don't report blindly!

Qiu Litao, who is filming "Burst Drummer", also explained: "The whole story is connected in series, and it does not point to a specific person or company!" '

It's useless, there are too many gossip media in Hong Kong, and they make money by fabricating fake news!
However, on the 15th, there was no serious media coverage of "Plaything".Because..."Taken 2" North America's first weekend box office is released: 2250 theaters opened, and the three-day box office was 2178 million US dollars. Close to 1980 million…
