At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 649 Love has an afterlife
In fact, for a routine film like "Slam Dunk", it is not bad to sell 5000 million!

——Zhu Yanping's routine, find a popular star, and then find a bunch of outdated stars to participate in the performance, what you sell is the star.

He went north and filmed six films. The worst-reputed "Assassin's Tomb" used Zhou Jielun, Lin Zhiling, and Chen Daoming, and Chen Chuhe, Zeng Zhiwei, and Huang Yifei played soy sauce...

Although "Otaku Man" set the lowest box office record of Zhu Yanping in the mainland, 147 million...but the movie also has movies of Xiao Jingteng, Jiangsu Ying, Da Peng, Xie Na and other popular stars.

Netizens have a classic comment: Zhu Yanping and Liu Zhenwei are the most unattractive directors in the north.

Liu Zhenwei squeezed out every drop of the IP of "A Chinese Journey to the West", while Zhu Yanping treated the mainland audience as fools.

Is there a possibility that he didn't treat the audience as fools, but that he racked his brains and could only come up with such a finished product?
After all, being able to make a classic anti-routine script like "Laughing Jianghu" into a piece of shit is not something ordinary people can do!

So far, I think the script of "Laughing Jianghu" is very interesting. In the few words of Jin Yong's martial arts world, a new and very integrated story has been created for the second time.

But Chu Yeon Ping screwed it up!
Ning Caishen announced directly after watching "Laughing Jianghu" that he would never take a screenwriting job again...

The box office of "Slam Dunk" was 5000 million, which was enough to satisfy the investors—it made money.

From this point of view, "The Tomb of Thorns" should still be born...

pretty good!
Shen Xudong doesn't want to change history at will. "Assassin's Tomb" is very important - the worst film in movie history, even Zhou Jielun's fans want to beat him up after watching it...

……

After returning to China, Shen Xudong immediately went to work - "Love Has an Afterlife" will be released tomorrow.

"Love has an afterlife" is different from "Voice of Name", he is not only a screenwriter, but also a producer and producer...

After watching the finished film, Shen Xudong had a premonition that his hit record might be coming to an end!
There is a famous saying in the industry: Please come to Shen Xudong, which means that your movie will definitely make money.

Indeed, after his debut, he participated in some movies with good reputations, and some passed the mark. Some people said that he only knew how to make commercial films, but no one said that his movies did not make money!

Last year's "Zhao Zilong" and "Mobile Phone 2" even broke [-] million, and "Rising Fame" directed by myself also broke [-] million...

Among them, "Mobile Phone 2" set a record of 2.8 million Chinese-language movies in mainland China.

But... no matter how you look at it, "Love Has an Afterlife" is pure love.

The extensive management of the film industry has led to the audience's orientation, blindness, and conformity when choosing films. An audience enters the cinema an average of less than 5 times a year, so what will he dedicate the limited few times of consumption to? What about movies?

The first choice is a blockbuster with fierce momentum!
Both domestic blockbusters and Hollywood blockbusters are fine.

Visual spectacle is the most important requirement for most audiences when watching movies.

The pure love type...it's really embarrassing.

First of all, the plot is old-fashioned, no matter how you shoot, it can't compare with "Gone with the Wind", "Roman Holiday", "Sweet Honey"...

Secondly... pure love of movies, normal people think that watching TV at home is enough, there is no need to go to the cinema to spend tens of dollars to watch two people grind;
In the end... Yu Feihong including Qiao Zhenyu are just TV drama stars, and most moviegoers will not have the idea of ​​buying tickets when they hear their names.

Therefore, the poster of "Love Has an Afterlife" is mainly written, produced, and supervised by Shen Xudong. In addition, a trailer with a strong horror color was also cut...

If you want to attract the audience, you can only use a slanted sword. The poster represents the selling point, just like the movie poster of "The Golden Heist" is not an actor, but Ning Hao with a big gold chain...

But...Shen Xudong is still not optimistic.

The main reason is that the story of "Love Has an Afterlife" is a bit outdated...

Of course, when it's time to cooperate with the publicity, he will definitely come forward!

……

"It was Director Yu who I met in "Golden Branch Desire" the year before last. She told me the story of "Love Has an Afterlife" ... and then I took over the screenwriting job."

On February 2, "Love Has an Afterlife" premiered.

Shen Xudong was surrounded by reporters just as he stepped onto the red carpet.

Asked all kinds of questions, such as 'views on the big photography exhibition', 'why donate 1500 million', mixed with questions about "Love has an afterlife"...

Of course, Shen Xudong picked up topics related to "Love Has an Afterlife" to answer.

"I heard it cost 4000 million?"

"Not so much, plus post-production, 3000 million is about the same... Although Director Yu is filming for the first time, he is really talented in spending money. For live-action shooting, there is no ideal location for shooting, so let's build a scene... "

"I heard that there are ghosts in the selling point?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "There are indeed ghosts, but the content about ghosts and reincarnation is not overly exaggerated. "Love has an afterlife" itself is positioned as a niche, literary film... It's just that the money spent exceeds the standard, so , we just made a big publicity campaign!"

Why can "Love Has an Afterlife" have ghosts, reincarnation and so on, and it can be released without cutting it?
...who knew?
However, the General Administration has always had double standards for movies.

See if you have face, or find someone who can let them give face!

"Then what are your expectations for the box office of "Love Is After Life"?"

"...Of course I hope to get my investment back, but...it should be difficult."

Then... we must talk about the big photography exhibition, which is a hot topic in the circle recently.

"I have been on vacation with my parents for the past two months. I don't know much about photography exhibitions, so I don't really understand why I need to take pictures, and why do I need to repair the computer? If you have money, the computer is broken. Replace it Is it not good for Taiwan? When you report, think about this question more, whether he wants to restore the data, or just want to repair the computer!"

"I have no opinion, this is just a scumbag, he is no longer worthy of being a public figure..."

"...That's it, I went in first..."

After briefly expressing his opinion, Shen Xudong walked into the theater quickly...

Oh, and the premiere of "Love Has an Afterlife" was held at Golden Harvest International Cinema.

I just walked into the cinema and met...Boss Chen!

Shen Xudong was quite pleasantly surprised, he hasn't seen Boss Chen for almost a year...

However, after thinking about it for a while, you can probably understand why Boss Chen appeared here - he paid for the production of "Love Has an Afterlife"!

And it is the first time he invests in the production of film and television dramas.

Afterwards, although "Struggle" and "Blockbuster" were big hits, "Love Has an Afterlife" is always the first time...

Men are very concerned about the first time.

Now, two years later, "Love Has an Afterlife" is finally released, and of course he wants to see the finished product.

Quickly went up and shook hands: "Brother Chen!"

"Mr. Shen..."

When Boss Chen saw Shen Xudong stretching out his hand, he smiled, stretched out his hand too, and gave him a hug...

"I heard you were in New Zealand recently?"

"...Well, go outside with my parents..."

"Oh, uncle and aunt are in the capital? Then I will visit another day?"

"No need," Shen Xudong explained with a smile, "They are in Hong Kong and haven't come back..."

While walking, walking towards the screening hall again and again, Boss Chen suddenly remembered something: "...do you know about the photography exhibition?"

"Who doesn't know?" Shen Xudong shook his head: "Now the public's perception of the entertainment industry is even worse... What's wrong?"

"A few friends of mine asked me to introduce female stars to them!"

Shen Xudong shook his head with a serious face: "...you don't want to participate in this kind of thing, pimping..."

"It's not pimping...forget it...my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned it to you!"
