At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 364
"Brother, our character is a girl under the age of 20..."

"I know, he just wants to flatter his love... Definitely not more than 20 years old!"

"That's okay..."

"Can you go to the red carpet?"

"It should be fine...we plan to go to Cannes to sell films..."

Hearing this, Boss Chen nodded: "To be able to go to Cannes...the 800 million is indeed a bit small...I don't even have eight figures, so I want to play the heroine? I'll let him be more generous..."

"Enough...enough...hey...hey...damn!"

Boss Chen has hung up the phone...

This is too... exaggerated!

800 million is not enough?
800 million is enough to shoot two "The Aviator"!

The coal boss is really rich!
Suddenly remembered something, it seems to be the 2010 Shanghai Film Festival, Peng Haoxiang said, the coal boss contacted him to invest in a film, it doesn’t matter how much money, as long as he can go to the international film festival to walk the red carpet, there is only one requirement: the heroine must be me girlfriend!

Then he turned it down...

It feels incredible.

Peng Haoxiang actually rejected the coal boss?

It is estimated that it is too easy to take money, and it is hypocritical...

That's right, in those years, any Hong Kong director's schedule was full for two or three years.

Naturally, I despise the girlfriend of the so-called coal boss...

Shen Xudong likes it!
Most importantly, the heroine of "Taken" doesn't need acting skills, so Nima shows her face at the beginning of the film and at the end of the film...

Any fool can act!
800 million for such a role...

enough!
Shen Xudong was about to talk to Huang Bin when Boss Chen called again: "He is willing to offer up to 2000 million... What do you think?"

"How many?"

"Five million!"

"...enough, too much..."

"If it's not enough, I'll help you find... huh? Is 2000 million enough?"

"It's enough..." Shen Xudong swallowed, trying to stay calm, and then said: "Can you let me send two photos and information of the actress... It's not that I don't believe the boss's eyes, but I just need to show the director and the crew..."

"...Okay, I'll ask him to send it over... The girl is studying acting, and she's a serious class!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Learned to act?

who can that be?

Whoever she is, even if it's a piece of wood, it's still the heroine!

Guessing that Gao Fenfen had the same opinion, sure enough, Gao Fenfen's phone call came, her tone of excitement could not be concealed.

2000 eh!

Of course, Director Gao still cared about the quality, and asked, "Does the heroine have many roles?"Need strong acting skills? '

"No need, one person can act... I heard from Boss Chen that the actress recommended by his friend is of the right age, and her image is not bad, so she is the only one!"

"...Okay, I'll contact Jiahe immediately..."

"Don't forget we're still promoting Cruel Streets..."

"The craze for movie viewing is almost over. It's already great that the first gangster-themed movie can sell like this!"

What Gao Fenfen said is of course reasonable. Now that it has been released for six days, the movie-watching craze is over long ago!
But Shen Xudong said: "It's better to chase after the poor. The most taboo thing in film promotion is to give up halfway!"

"...All right, I'll add another 300 million publicity funds...I'm dead!"

……

A series of operations, in front of Huang Bin...

Made the latter a little dumbfounded!
He couldn't help but said, "Boss Shen, should we check the situation first?"

"What's the situation?"

"What if you fail?"

Shen Xudong squinted at him: "You don't believe in the aesthetics of the coal boss?"

The beauties that the coal boss likes are all beauties who step on the high-scoring line, have their own styles, and are pulled out by us as benchmarks.

The three major aesthetic systems in the entertainment industry: Korean chaebols, coal bosses, and... Coconut Tree Group.

Korean chaebols prefer young faces with even skin and plump tissues.Weak aggressive, well-behaved and easy-to-handle, the most typical ones are Suzy Bae and Shirley;
Coconut Tree Group has a traditional oval face with misty eyebrows and almond eyes, elegant and generous, tall, protruding and warped but not too exaggerated.

Coal bosses are different. They love the standard style that is not only good-looking, but also has a sense of excellent character, which automatically brings people into associations such as uprightness, virtuousness and perseverance. In a word: bright eyes, white teeth, and harmonious proportions.

The most typical one is Che Xiao...

Therefore, the related households in this era have a saying that no matter how good the acting skills are, the appearance is really good.

Later... they all started to praise their relatives!
Regardless of the kind.

Huang Bin wasn't worried about not being good-looking enough, but: "But after all, the movie we made..."

"Commercial movies, the most important thing is to make money..."

"... "

Shen Xudong continued: "As long as the money is in place, the resources will be available. The great director will immediately change from an artist to a grandson.

Even if you have never acted before, they can tailor scripts and roles for you.In the crew and the studio, you are the uncle, you are the queen, you can change the lines as you say, and you don’t have to come if you say you don’t want to shoot today, the director will talk to you like a subordinate, and patiently tell you how to move, No matter how you read the dialogue, you will definitely not feel a little impatient! "

"Then what if the movie doesn't work?"

"...Movies are not that important, and they are not an industry related to the national economy and the people's livelihood... And the heroine of "Taken" doesn't have a difficult role! Otherwise, I wouldn't agree so easily..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, go and watch the online public opinion of "Cruel Street"!"

……

"Taken" is mainly composed of three fight scenes, the plot is just a series of actions, the heroine is really not important!
Shen Xudong knew it, Ye Weixin knew it well, and Fang Jiahe, the producer, knew it better. Therefore, Tianmei Media sponsored an additional 200 million, which was regarded as subsidizing the crew's treatment in Thailand, and then sent the photo of the heroine Jing Tian...

The latter directly agreed!

Well, that's right, the big sweet benefactor is the one who exerts his money-making ability...

Shen Xudong was a little surprised at the beginning——Yuan Shikong, Da Tiantian only entered the entertainment industry in 06 (released an EP, found Ning Hao to shoot the MV, and finished his first movie "Python Cry" by the way), what happened this time? Earlier?
It doesn't matter, it may be the butterfly effect brought by Shen Xudong...

Anyway, the role has been decided!

what?
Only sponsored 200 million?
200 million is not bad, some searchers may give 10 yuan...

Soon, in mid-May, "Taken" announced that it would be launched.

According to Jiahe's meaning, the main focus will be on the Spring Festival next year...

Tsk tsk, "Fearless" linked to Li Lian grabbed the box office~
I guess it's time, maybe I have to avoid it for a week or two...

Shen Xudong didn't worry anymore. "Cruel Street" was released for half a month, and the cumulative box office exceeded 3200 million. The Hong Kong box office was 2200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Southeast Asia was 2600 million Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with the cost of 1200 million, it is definitely a big profit...

After half a month of publicity, Zheng Baorui is ready to return to Hong Kong. Before leaving, Shen Xudong took out a script - "The Old Thousand"...

Zheng Baorui was a little surprised: "For me?"

"...Well, I have already sent it to the company, and I recommend you to continue directing. If nothing else, they will contact you soon!"

"...which company?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "My company... this time is not a co-production. I have finalized the starring lineup. Do you want to take it?"
