Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 99 is all about topics! (14)

Is film distribution just a commission-based business?
This sentence sounds so familiar...

By the way, this is what Zhang Zhao of LeTV said when he released “Tiny Times”!

Uh, Zhang Zhao is now the manager of Enlight Films...

That’s right!
Li Xiaoping's words perfectly verified the saying: What kind of general you are, what kind of soldiers you lead.

Shen Yan has no objection to this...

The main investor and publisher of "Introduction to Architecture" is Guangxian...

As an actor, he has no right to speak!
As for the statement that 'film distribution is a commission-based business', does it make sense?

Still makes sense...

From the perspective of distribution companies, film distribution is all about securing screenings...

The so-called screenings refer to the number of times and spaces a cinema schedules to show a film.

For example, a theater can only show seven movies a day, so the distribution company naturally wants to show their own films...

Whether the cinema will schedule the film or not depends on the communication between the distributor and the cinema chain and the cinema center.

It’s quite difficult to negotiate a spot. People without connections basically have no chance…

Guangguang is a relatively new company. When they entered the industry, Huayi and Bona were already big, so they had no choice but to follow this path...

Of course, at this stage, it still depends on the movie itself and the star cast.

According to the information we received, the three films, "Aftershock" still occupies 30% of the screening schedule, followed by "Architecture ", then "Love Announcement", and finally "Dragon Phoenix Shop"...

That’s right, “Dragon and Phoenix Shop” is the most shameless one!
Richie Jen + Big S…

No matter how much the media exaggerates, Big S is a box office poison and an iconic actress in bad movies!
As for Richie Jen…

There is no such thing as box office appeal!
Topping the list is "Aftershock", which is easy to understand. Since its release on July 7, this movie has been at the top of the box office charts!

According to Shen Yan's memory, the final box office of "Aftershock" should have exceeded 6.5 million...

Feng Xiaogang was so terrifying 10 years ago!
Love Announcement, Wang Leehom + Liu Yifei…

Liu Yifei has been silent for two years in her film career, but the plot is uneventful...

The movie "Love Announcement" is Wang Leehom's personal fantasy: a campus story about superstar Du Minghan, who disguises himself as Ade and pursues a young woman from the folk music department, Song Xiaoqing...

This crappy movie is neither campus nor star-studded...

Alas, it's hard not to compare it to "Secret". Honestly, compared to "Secret", "Love Announcement" is just an idol star's condescending imagination, completely out of touch with real life...

Pure fan film!
Oh, now it's the press conference...

Film distribution involves promotion, celebrity roadshows, press conferences, ground events, and roadshows...

Shen Yan, as usual, talked about the origins of the film "Introduction to Architecture": "At the time, my agent introduced several movies to me, but I felt that either the scripts were not good or the roles were uninteresting... I turned down three movies in a row, two of which were films directed by famous directors... He was very angry and scolded me, 'If you have the ability, write one yourself!'"

"I told him, if I write it, can you help me get investment?"

“Then I wrote ‘Introduction to Architecture’…”

"I'm a novelist, so writing scripts is similar." "Scripts are generally written from a third-person perspective, focusing more on the interaction between the characters and the audience. Try not to insert too much personal emotion. A strong sense of personal identity will affect the audience's sense of involvement. A good script allows the audience to understand the story through the development of the plot, rather than the author telling the audience directly..."

"My agent used to work with Bingbing. When the script was released, he gave it to Bingbing right away... Bingbing liked it very much, and then she contacted Quan and director You Dazhi!"

"I was filming 'The Strange Hero Yizhimei' at the time, and Director You Dazhi was the co-director of the TV series. I quite liked 'Dark Flower' and 'Very Sudden'... I took the initiative to talk to him about it, and he was also very interested, so I took the director's job..."

"Shi Shi..." After a pause, Shen Yan looked at her with a smile and said, "Let her speak for herself!"

Shi Shi answered honestly: "...We were filming 'One Plum' at the time, and he told me he had written a movie script... and invited me..."

The reporter asked directly: "Do you have a boyfriend now?"

Shi Shi shook her head: "Not yet..."

"So what do you think of Shen Yan? Is he suitable to be a boyfriend?"

“…He is handsome, talented, and takes good care of me…”

Shen Yan interrupted: "Don't ask these questions, isn't this the press conference for "Introduction to Architecture"? Let's talk about movies..."

"Why is it called this name?"

"Because the male lead is an architecture student, the film tells the story of a man and a woman who met in an Introduction to Architecture class in college and reunited years later as an architect and a client... I think the title 'Introduction to Architecture' is quite romantic!"

Then the media started questioning Li Bingbing...

Li Bingbing took on "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan", which was originally the film for Zhang Ziyi!

Many people are concerned about this...

After all, the fight between the big flower is more interesting than the two newcomers...

Li Bingbing replied: "It was Wendi Deng who called me... I didn't know about this project before... I didn't really want to take the role!"

"At the time, after filming five films in a row, I felt my physical and mental endurance had reached its limit. I was exhausted and needed some time to rest. So, when Wendi Deng invited me to star in 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan,' I mentally refused. I was completely bewildered and felt like I was being tortured."

"But I couldn't resist Wendy Deng's kind invitation...so, I accepted it!"

Well, not a single word about Zhang Ziyi...

Then the media asked Ren Quan...

Ren Quan said, "Bingbing asked me for help, so I came!"

Li Bingbing interrupted: "Shen Yan has always thought that Brother Quan and I are a good match... He suggested that Brother Quan play the male lead..."

Shen Yan was surprised: "Aren't you a couple?"

"We've long been more than just friends..." Li Bingbing motioned for Ren Quan to come over and kissed him, "Our relationship is pure and warm..."

That’s right, in front of a bunch of media, she kissed Ren Quan directly, even though it was just on the cheek!
But it has already shocked the reporters and media in the audience!

Ren Quan also kissed Li Bingbing in return, but Li Bingbing suddenly turned his head and the two kissed mouth to mouth...

Seeing this scene, Shen Yan was shocked: "Oh my god, this is such a big deal!"

Oh, just a thought...

Then I thought again...this is Li Bingbing's routine operation!
