At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 198 Talent... (24)

Aunt Liu sat for two hours, mostly as an observer. Although she didn't speak, she probably learned about Shen Xudong's two new projects. It can be said that they were purely for Chen Daoming...

However, as the daughter of the actor of "National Witness", she thinks she can try that role.

When she tentatively asked Shen Xudong about casting, the latter smiled speechlessly: "I haven't written the script yet, now let's talk about casting?"

Cai Yinong nodded: "...That's right, the order of film project preparation starts with the script, and then breaks down the script..."

Shen Xudong interrupted her: "However, Hong Kong movies don't seem to be like this?"

"...For Hong Kong movies, the first step is to find a star. Once you find a star, then there is investment. As for the script and so on... they are all secondary!"

Cai Yinong sighed: "It's good to be able to start work, how dare you ask for anything else?"

Then she suddenly thought that brother Shen seemed to be cooperating with Chen Musheng, so she asked, "How is "Keep Talking" going?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "... "Keep Talking", I received 30 script fees, and the rest has nothing to do with me..."

"No, you are very famous in Hong Kong...I guess the Emperor will use you to promote..."

"I'm just a screenwriter, what can I promote..." After a pause, Shen Xudong said: "However, they did invite me to Hong Kong to talk to the group..."

"Then why are you going?"

"...should be able to go, just take it as a study..."

Aunt Liu is in a hurry...

This is deliberately leaving her alone!

Proactively provoked the topic: "...Who is the investor of "National Witness" that you mentioned?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Auntie... This is just an idea. The director has not yet been decided, the script has not been written, and Mr. Chen Daoming has not said that he will definitely star in it. The funding situation is even more out of the question!"

"...I'm sorry, I'm a little anxious~ I'm thinking about Sissi...I want her to act in a movie!"

Cai Yinong suddenly interjected: "If you want her to act in a movie, the best way is to develop in the south... Mainland TV dramas are okay, but the production of movies is far behind Hong Kong... and co-productions must have mainland actors as the leading roles , the male lead must be a Hong Kong actor, and the female lead must be a mainland actor, and a popular actress like Yifei has a great chance."

"...She taught...the manager said the same!"

Aunt Liu almost slipped her tongue, but fortunately she responded in a timely manner...

"However, I just listened to it, and I think "The Tailor" is quite suitable for a co-production..."

You can really talk...

Aunt Liu asked about "National Witnessing", so you changed the subject all of a sudden...

Cai Yinong looked at Shen Xudong: "What do you think?"

"I..." Shen Xudong just wanted to say that I am a screenwriter or something like an old topic...Cai Yinong blocked it directly: "Tell the truth!"

"...To be honest, I don't know...I'm neither a producer nor a director...I can't control whether I make a co-production or not."

"You just say whether it fits or not, and I didn't let you control it!"

Shen Xudong could only nod: "The script of "The Tailor" is set to be a mainlander in Hong Kong. I was so upset after watching "Infernal Affairs 3"... I feel that Mr. Chen Daoming is a small supporting role in soy sauce..."

"You think so...it's quite interesting..."

Cai Yinong nodded, and then said: "I also know a few producers in Hong Kong, if Mr. Chen has an idea..."

"Sister, don't make trouble, Mr. Chen has his own contacts..."

……

I went, it turned out to be an idea!
Talent.

Aunt Liu just wanted to arrange for her daughter to play a role. Sister Cai went further and directly wanted to invest and produce...

What is the virtue of Tang Ren's film?
Anything that touches it will be a blood loss!
"Suspicious", "Beautiful Mandheling"...the lineup is not bad, the former has recruited Big S, Liu Ye, and by the way, Brother Hu, the director is Qiu Litao!

Neither movie was released...

Why not show it?

Because the theaters are not optimistic about it!

"Sister, let me tell you the truth. At this stage, the most important thing for making movies in the Mainland is to have the support of theaters... Last year's "Infernal Affairs 3" actually sold well at the beginning, but after "Mobile" was released, the New Film Federation led The theater organization directly stopped the filming of "Infernal Affairs 3"..."

"Really?"

"Of course... Otherwise, 3000 million in the first week and 3600 million in the end? Even if there are pirated copies, it won't fall so fast!"

Feng Xiaogang was promoted by the New Film Federation. The first film "Party A and Party B" only received 1100 million in the BJ area, which is enough to recover the cost!
In the past few years, the New Film Federation has firmly ranked first in the attendance rate and number of moviegoers in the BJ area...

With their strong support, Feng Xiaogang can certainly win "Infernal Affairs 3".

Of course, director Feng himself is also good, and the film is also very competitive... "Assembly" is competing with "Certificate of Fame", the support of the theater is of course important, Feng Xiaogang himself also has strength...

If you meet a young poet reciter, no amount of support will be of use—like "The Promise", which monopolizes all the screening halls of the theater for a month...

Directly suspend the screening of "If Love"...

The box office still failed to break [-] million.

China Film made an emergency release of "King Kong", and only then did it achieve its goal of surpassing last year's total box office for the New Year's Eve - after all, there were "A World Without Thieves" and "Kung Fu" in 04...

"There are so many doorways here?"

"Of course..." Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Sister, if you want to build a good relationship with the theater, then get them to invest in low-cost horror movies..."

Cai Yinong smiled: "I understand what you mean, low-budget horror movie, I did a promotion for "Human Meat Pork Buns" before, and the movie was originally called "Eight Immortals Restaurant", which is the name I suggested to change, the poster That’s what I meant, and it was sold for 1500 million Hong Kong dollars!”

Of course, the box office of 1500 million Hong Kong dollars is not particularly high - it ranked 21st in the year. After all, that year was 1993, and Hong Kong movies were popular all over Asia...

But as a horror film with a cost of 180 million Hong Kong dollars, it's a huge profit!
Therefore, Tang Ren, the original time and space, first wanted to replicate this path in the mainland, and "Suspicious Ghosts" actually took the suspense and horror route...

How can I not get the theater, it has never been screened at all...

Listening to Shen Xudong's words now, it's like enlightenment: "Yes, we can directly find theaters to cooperate, we provide production teams and actors, don't share it, earn some filming money, and use it as a training team... After becoming famous, Naturally, there will be investors looking for us to make movies!"

"...But if you do this, the directors may not be willing, after all, theaters won't pay high prices..."

"You can rest assured that they can make movies, which is what they wish for!"

Cai Yinong gave him a reassuring look.

Next to him, Aunt Liu, who had been silent and was about to leave, took a deep look at Shen Xudong—this guy is really talented!

That's how it was. At first, she was very excited, thinking about getting Sissy to cooperate with Chen Daoming...

But after arriving at Shen Xudong's room, this idea changed...

After all, Shen Xudong hasn't released a single movie yet, and even the TV series "Dragon Babu" has only been released...

Talent monetization ability has not been verified...

Even if she is talented, she feels that it is not too late to get in the car later...

On the contrary, Cai Yinong's words were in line with her expectations: Sissy should go south to Hong Kong to develop if she wants to act in a movie!

From Gongli to the international chapter, it's all done like this...

Then break into Hollywood with the help of Hong Kong movies!
