At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 235 Soliciting (24) (Happy New Year, I wish you all a fortune)

"House of Flying Daggers" can be regarded as the bottom of A Mou's movie sequence.

In the 2015 "Mainland Directors' Score List", A Mou's debut film "Red Sorghum" scored more than 8 points on Douban and Mtime. The highest score "To Live" reached 9 points.

"House of Flying Daggers" and "Three Shots Surprise", the two scores did not exceed 5.5...

After time precipitation, "House of Flying Daggers" rose to 6.4 points, still ranking bottom...

A gorgeous pile of shit!

Of course, Ah Mou doesn't care about this now, the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics is enough to make him worry...

There is also a good thing, "Hero" will be released on a large scale in North America soon...

The large scale here refers to logging into mainstream theaters, at least 2000+ canvases!

Well, Miramax bought the copyright for 1500 million US dollars, and it has been hidden until now...

What is the concept of 6700 million box office?
It surpassed "Mobile Phone" and set a new record in Feng Xiaogang's film career...

But Feng Xiaogang just did it...

Of course, Huang Zhongjun still fully supported the release of "Lost Orphans"...

"Isn't it you who wrote "Lost Orphany"? It's really well written!"

This result really exceeded everyone's expectations, because Feng Xiaogang is known as the king of the New Year's Eve, and everyone thinks that he will not have any big achievements in the summer...

Shen Xudong changed his words decisively: "...Uncle Gao..."

It turned out that Feng Xiao had just left Huayi, and he could do things himself.

"I read the scripts of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter"...I can say responsibly that these two films can recover their cost in Shanghai!"

This is a bit about...

But Huang Zhongjun was always restless because Feng Xiaogang left!
Feng Xiaogang can be regarded as Huayi's cash cow. Starting from "Endless", the two parties have collaborated on five films: "Endless", "Be There or Be Square", "Chicken Feathers", "Big Wrist", and "Mobile Phone". Some earn!

Wu Hehu originally wanted to explain, but he couldn't remember the script, so he simply pointed at Shen Xudong: "Ask him, he wrote the script!"

"If there is a notebook, Huayi will take it!"

There are about five waves of investors in "Lost Orphans". Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang's Taihe People invested 30%, Forbidden City Films invested 15%, Huayi Brothers invested 40%, and the remaining 25%, China Film Investment 10%, Xinying Gao Jun from United Cinemas and Wu Hehu from Shanghai United Cinemas shared the remaining 15%...

Zhang Guoli saw Huang Zhonglei walking over, and hurried to follow. Hearing this, he immediately interjected: "This kid is very powerful. He analyzed the history of film sales records by himself, and concluded that comedies and horror films are most likely to be big with their small ones..."

Of course, the two sides still maintain close ties. Huayi is the joint producer of "Lost Orphans", "Party A and Party B 2", "A World Without Thieves", accounting for 40% of the investment share...

Huayi Brothers’ 2004 was a year of great strides. They invested in Lu Chuan’s “Kekexili”, won Zhou Xingchi’s “Kung Fu”, and also hooked up with Zhang Jizhong by the way, and decided to become the investor of “Sculpture”. …

In fact, it's not Xuezang. After Miramax broke up with Disney, Harvey didn't have time to pay attention to a Chinese movie.

This prediction is very scientific. After all, there was "House of Flying Daggers" before and Hollywood blockbusters later, and the living space is only 15 days...

It can be said that after the battle of "Lost Orphans", Shen Xudong has become a hot screenwriter!

"Boss Gao is my benefactor!"

Wrong, it's not a pick-up, it's a rendezvous, a small celebration banquet in the whole interior...

"Two uncles, wait a moment, I have an idea..."

The specific account share has nothing to do with Shen Xudong, and he has no box office share...

Gao Jun really watched the birth of "Party A and Party B", and has always supported Feng Xiaogang...

"Can't Ge You?"

I never thought that "Lost Orphan" would explode...

Huang Zhonglei immediately asked: "Then why not do comedy?"

Horse riding, what is the comparison?
The overseas copyright of "House of Flying Daggers" was sold for nearly 4000 million U.S. dollars, and the Japanese box office was close to 2200 million U.S. dollars...

"...Thank you...the main director is capable..."

"Lost Orphan", Huang Zhongjun is not very optimistic.

The people involved are here...

Wu Hehu is the general manager of Shanghai United Cinemas...

The happy thing is that as an investor in "Lost Orphans", the box office hit means that Huayi can recover the cost and make a lot of money;

Wu Hehu has no doubt that "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" will be a hit...

"The script is very brilliant, you will know it after reading it!"

"...I write scripts for comedians who don't care about their image...and I don't have any pure comedy scripts for now..."

Feng Xiaogang is not a Mou, let alone overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not well-known...

Huang Zhongjun is both happy and a little frustrated...

This theme, plus there is no star lineup - Ge You didn't even appear in it!
It is estimated that the box office will be in the early 1000 million at most...

"What horror movie?"

Therefore, it can only be celebrated in private.

There must be theater support!
Now that the box office is selling well, logically speaking, the whole celebration banquet should be celebrated, isn't this the theme of "Lost Orphan" is special...

I heard it was Quentin's strong recommendation, and even signed "Hero" as the producer...

"…horror movie?"

"...Xiao Shen? You also wrote horror movies?"

Gao Jun asked: "What "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village"..."

Zhang Guoli chuckled: "If there is a notebook... I want it too!"

But... No matter how embarrassing it is, I still have to pick him up.

In today's movie environment, it is even more difficult to earn three words than to reach the sky!

……

Frustrated...Leaving Huayi, Feng Xiaogang's movies are still making money!
The so-called winning is not terrible, whoever is missing is embarrassing, and Huayi was tested once!

Gao Jun, Wu Hehu, and Zhao Jun, the general manager of China Film Southern Film Shinkansen, a major distributor at this stage, code-named the Three Musketeers of Chinese Film Distribution...

Add one piece to nearly thirty people!
Shen Xudong knew most of them, except for those directors of the theaters, Feng Xiaogang led him to give Gao Jun a special opinion.

On the other hand, "Lost Orphan", its overseas box office is negligible...

"He wrote two folk tales for Tang Ren, with a bit of horror elements. When it's released, the New Film Federation will also support it!"

After the unhappiness with Colombia, there is almost no need to talk about overseas markets!

After all, you still have to show your strength!

Huang Zhonglei came over with a cup in his hand, and naturally joined the topic.

"Comedy needs comedians to back it up..."

It's also normal, "Lost Orphan" earned at least 2000 million, and "Party A and Party B 2" has little profit problem...

In addition, it is not Feng Xiaogang or Shen Xudong who want to compare with "House of Flying Daggers", but the media always compare these two films...

"Then there has to be a story behind it!"

This is embarrassing...

……

"Really? Thanks to Uncle Wu for his support..."

As the first play after leaving Huayi, it fought a beautiful battle.

Of course, the 6700 million download score is enough to split the bill!

After chatting for a while, Wu Hehu also joined in...

"what idea?"

"...It's an ancient costume film. I discovered it by reading the history of the Tang Dynasty. The Iron-Blooded Anxi Army fought alone in the Western Regions for forty years... There have been countless battles in the middle, I plan to call it "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."

"How are you going to write it?"

"The story begins with a group of veterans sending military funds from Qiuci City to Xizhou... On the way, there was a robbery by a horse bandit, and there was only one old man left in the team...A refugee passed by the scene of the robbery, thinking of picking something useful from the corpse...
