At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 655 Personal Worst

There was nothing to talk about in the interview, it was all routine.

The preparation of the film is not easy. During the filming, a lot of difficulties were encountered, and the director and actors overcame many difficulties.

By the way, if the box office is not good, you have to ask 'Is "Love After Life" a good movie? '

Then answer: "To judge whether a movie is good or bad, we judge a movie more from the point of view of art, while the box office is to judge a movie from the perspective of commercial operation."There is basically no necessary direct connection between the box office level and the quality of the film. '

Ask why you want to be a producer.

'I was moved by the story, I was moved by the director's persistence'...

It's all process routines!

Do you want to tell the truth, 'Director Yu is very moist'?
Yes, I said it, "Love Has an Afterlife" is guaranteed to hit the headlines immediately, but... how are Shen Xudong and Yu Feihong going to behave?

The age difference is 13 years old!

Oh, "Watching Movies" also asked Shen Xudong "Do you have any new movie plans"?
'Yes, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is about to be adapted into a fixed film. '

'You want to direct yourself? '

'...I never thought about this...'

I really didn't think about it, but Shen Xudong was a little moved.

First of all, the cost of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is very low, and it relies on the story to win;
Secondly, the shooting cycle of this movie is very short, and it can be done in a month or so...

Finally, if the publicity is done well, not to mention that the box office has exceeded [-] million like the original time and space, [-] million is not a big problem...

Perfectly fit Shen Xudong's request!

"let me consider it…"

……

Generally, interviews are for publicity - if not for publicity, who would have the time to talk about movies in a serious manner?
The sales of "Watching a Movie" are not bad, with a circulation of 60.

There are also many readers of the electronic version...

It's a pity that it has little promotion effect on the movie "Love Has an Afterlife".

Again, this movie itself does not please the market - it is not commercial enough!
Moreover, theaters have marketing plans for the film schedule. After the first week, the number of films scheduled for "Love Has an Afterlife" has dropped...

To "Jam Dunk".

At least "Slam Dunk" has Zhou Jielun!
Uh, February 2th is Thursday, the first week ended, and "Love Has an Afterlife" won a box office of 14 million...

The next week, on the 21st, "Detective" and "On the Journey" will be released...

It is estimated that the film schedule of "Love Has an Afterlife" will have to decline...

In other words, the total box office of "Love Has an Afterlife" is likely to be less than 1500 million!
Uh, it did set a record for the lowest box office of Shen Xudong's movie. You know, "The Aviator" sold 1600 million...

And the publicity cost of this drama is 800 million, that is to say...the money recovered from the box office is not even enough to pay the publicity expenses!
Definitely a big Waterloo for Shen Xudong!

Of course, he didn't take it seriously...

He didn't take it seriously, but Yu Feihong felt guilty.

Although the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled for many years, it has failed the trust of investors and issuers.

She is not Wang Jiawei, Jiang Wen, the kind of director who cheats people without paying for their lives...

3000 million eh...

After finishing the promotion, I returned to the capital, met with Shen Xudong, and after the art exchange, offered to help the company star in several TV series for free.

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I have to do as you do, what about Director Chen?"

"Director Chen? What does it have to do with him?"

""Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" lost tens of millions of blood... "The Promise" also lost tens of millions..."

Yu Feihong shook her head: "...it's different, I'm an actor..."

"What's the difference? Film investment itself is a kind of gambling. If you lose money, you make up for it with your own money. What if you make money? Will they give it to you?" After a pause, Shen Xudong emphasized: "Forever Don't sympathize with capital..."

Yu Feihong kissed him: "...you know so much..."

"It's not that I know much, it's that I have experienced..."

Then Shen Xudong talked about "Outstanding Citizen". The overseas share of this play is 420 million US dollars, the mainland share is close to 800 million, and the TV copyright and audio-visual copyright accounted for 2500 million...

The investor has made a fortune!

How much did he take?

The script fee and the adaptation fee add up to 100 million, and later there are bonuses and red envelopes of 50...

Well, just 150 million!
He was the one who contributed the most to the whole project, but he only got 150 million yuan?
So... what can I do?
I don't think he is the protagonist, so the copyright of the script belongs to him, right?

What a joke, the film and television company invests in the production of your play, first of all they have to buy out the copyright!
Because the production company bears the greatest pressure, especially if the production company uses its own money to make money, it is of course good, but what if it loses?
The screenwriter and director will say that losing money is none of my business...

So, fair enough!

Shen Xudong reassured: "Don't think too much about it, "Love Is After Life" has a good reputation, and many analysis reports have also said that there is no market for this type of film in China, and it can be regarded as a beneficial attempt."

"... "

Yu Feihong didn't speak, it was obvious that she was still depressed...

Shen Xudong 'had to' act as a psychiatrist again.

Let her stop thinking about these things...

From any point of view, he is very selfless!
After all, he was also very tired for three consecutive days.

Yes, the pursuit of art by human beings has always been endless, but the endless pursuit and practice consume energy!

But there is no way, "Love has an afterlife" is only under his encouragement and manipulation, Director Yu realized his director's dream, now that the box office has failed, she doubts herself...

In a sense, Shen Xudong has to carry this blame!

You made a famous Chinese filmmaker depressed?

Was it an obligation to cheer her up again?

In this sense, this can also be regarded as a contribution to the Chinese film industry.

If you suffer a loss, eat some...

As a human being, especially at his stage, one should not be too selfish!

Ahem...that's it!
……

Three days later, on February 2, Shen Xudong went to work...

He just entered the company, and when he ran into Chen Xi head-on, he immediately said, "Where have you been these few days?"

"...outside...what happened?"

Chen Xi was very angry: "Why didn't you come to the premiere of "On the Journey"? I didn't reply to your emails, and didn't answer your phone calls!"

Shen Xudong explained: "...Is there something wrong with me? Director Yu was so decadent because of the failure of "Love Has an Afterlife", I stayed with her for a few days..."

Hearing this, Chen Xi swallowed: "Accompany...how did you accompany me?"

"...Just accompany her to Inner Mongolia to see the scenery..."

"Really? Then why don't you answer the phone?"

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone: "Apple mobile phone... a garbage thing, charge for five hours, and talk for 2 minutes!" Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "No, I don't remember that I didn't say that I would participate in the premiere of "On the Journey". Ying?"

"...then we all go..."

Shen Xudong scolded angrily: "I can't do film promotion and distribution without me? Then what do I want you for? Don't bother me with such things in the future!"

Chen Xi... Shut up, she doesn't know how to answer.

"...how much was the box office of "People on Journey" yesterday?"

"I was about to tell you..." Chen Xi immediately changed his face: "...1020 million!"
