At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 767 Why Don't You Ask About the Box Office

What Shen Xudong thought about the premiere: A group of media asked about the movie, or asked about the unforgettable experience during filming...

He had thought it all over and was going to praise Donnie Yen's acting skills or something.

Reality: No one asked about the movie itself, but "The Grandmaster", so did the Golden Lion Award go through the back door?

"Go through the back door?"

"Zhang Weiping said that you have a good relationship with the chairman of the jury..."

"Nonsense," Shen Xudong shook his head: "First of all, I don't know Darren Aronofsky...Secondly, what else can Zhang Weiping do all day long besides promoting Zhang Yimou?
Advertise people like fools, pay 6 million costs, just like the industry does not know the price of Joss Williams' team, and pay 2000 million US dollars to invite Bell... I have tried several times to cooperate with Bell!I know his price perfectly! "

"Finally, I want to ask, he means "The Sun Also Rises" did not win the award, is it because Zhang Yimou has a bad relationship with Jiang Wen?"

Zhang Weiping came out to bring up the topic...

The biggest topic recently is that Shen Xudong won the Golden Lion Award. Zhang Weiping first expressed his disdain: "What is there about the Golden Lion Award? It's all left over from us. As for the publicity, it's just like Fan Jinzhongju!"

Then he said: "Shen Xudong has a good relationship with those people in Hollywood, there must be something tricky behind this, you should check it out!"

It's quite normal, he always thinks that Yimou is in his hands, I have the world, and anyone dares to hate, let alone Shen Xudong, isn't Han Shanping also described by him as a mountain sculpture.

Now that Shen Xudong is the most topical topic, Zhang Weiping, for the purpose of promoting "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", rubbed a lot of topics, it is understandable... shit!
The more Shen Xudong thought about it, the more angry he became: "I think an international director like Zhang Yimou needs a professional producer to help him manage movies, not a nouveau riche who only knows how to run the train!"

"You mean Zhang Weiping is an upstart?"

"Without Zhang Yimou, he's an ass. If Zhang Yimou is on the list, people will call him Producer Zhang. Without Zhang Yimou, who will take care of him?"

"Will Tianmei Media sign Zhang Yimou?"

Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen, who answered: "Of course...Director Zhang is a mature director who is good at business and art, and has his own stylized image expression...The most important thing is that his films rarely lose money, basically It's profitable..."

Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I want to sign a contract...

After Ah Mou had a falling out with the investor, he could not make blockbuster films such as "Curse of the Golden Flower" and "The Great Wall", but could make films with low investment such as "The Hawthorn Tree" and "Return".

A small film company, or even a local rich man, can meet the needs of filming funds...

Such a filmmaker is simply the favorite of investors!
Then the media asked about Tianmei Media's contact with Zhang Yimou...

Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed: Do you still remember that this is the premiere scene of "The Grandmaster"?
Fortunately, it didn't take too long to be embarrassed. After all, he is the central figure in today's premiere. Immediately, the media handed over the microphone. Years, how many actresses have you had close contact with?"

"…I…"

I'll go to your uncle, will you ask questions?

Do you understand what is propaganda bombing?

……

Well, who made PPTV's "Non-stop Walking" very influential? In order to show his affinity, Shen Xudong told a lot of secrets, and even admitted his experience of learning foreign languages...

Many netizens, including the media, who have watched "Never Stop" have no interest in Shen Xudong's study of film and industrialization. They only remember "learning foreign languages, learning French, German and English with a British accent!" '

Shen Xudong also told the truth: Hollywood really has no shortage of human resources, and young actresses from all over the United States and even Europe who want to become famous in Hollywood want to become famous overnight...

There are a lot of boys and girls who have a pair of good skins with beautiful logos, no education, no future in college, and dream of being a star all day long.

But most of them are not irreplaceable.

What should I do?
The only thing you can rely on is your body!

It is equivalent to bluntly saying that I have been romantic and happy for three years!

Then, some good people went over the wall to collect information on overseas reports, and found out nearly [-] international friends who had close contact with Shen Xudong!

All girls with long legs and big bears!
Uh, Shen Xudong's aesthetics are very vulgar: long legs, good looks, big waves...

Well, aesthetics are the same all over the world-before political correctness prevailed, the word fair and beautiful was specifically used to describe beautiful women.

But Shen Xudong's list includes almost all Hollywood post-85 actresses who have been associated with sexiness in recent years...

This is too much!

There were even scandals with three of the four Hollywood stars - Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively...

You are really bombarding America!

Well, no Kristen Stewart…

Otherwise, it will definitely affect the follow-up results of "The Twilight Saga", and Shen Xudong will never allow such a thing to happen!
……

Under Shen Xudong's strong request, the media still asked about "The Grandmaster". Shen Xudong thanked Donnie Yen very much: "After "Ip Man" became popular, Donnie Yen's salary rose to more than 2000 million. Generally speaking, three One movie per month, that is to say, he gave "The Grandmaster" eight months, enough time for him to make three movies... a loss of 5000 million!"

"The production cost of "The Grandmaster" is about 7000 million, because I used the top-notch behind-the-scenes lineup. I used Rodrigo Prieto and Song Xiaofei for photography, and Yuan Baye for action design..."

"...Overseas copyrights are selling well, North America sold 800 million US dollars, Europe, signed a distribution contract with MK2 company...Southeast Asia was handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution, South Korea...continued to cooperate with CJ, the copyright of Japan Benzene has not been sold yet... Toei wants to buy it out, but we have some disagreements on the price..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong looked forward to it. He was waiting for the media to ask about the box office forecast, and he had prepared the classic answer of "[-] million is not too little, and one billion is not too much". Then the next media question: "What do you think of fans? Movie?"

"what?"

"The "Grandmaster" has a "The Great Wusheng" in the same period, which focuses on Han Geng... The industry believes that Han Geng's popularity is higher than that of Yang Xiaomi, and "The Great Wusheng" is likely to set a new record for fan movie box office!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I'll just sit and watch...how can I watch?"

How to watch fan movies?
How does this thing answer?

After pondering for a while, he still said seriously: "Movies have commodity attributes, especially commercial films. The so-called commercial attributes are selling points. Some sell stories, some sell emotions, some sell special effects, and some sell idols... Then Since it’s a fan film, I don’t think general audiences should watch it, especially film critics should not pay attention, since you are not its target audience, so you won’t feel uncomfortable!”
