At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 395
Hearing what Jiang Ping said, Shen Xudong hurriedly asked: "Then did you say how much the total box office will be?"

"It's estimated to be around 1.5 million. After all, at the "World War" meeting at the end of the month..."

Jiang Ping is the deputy general manager of China Film Group and also a producer—later he did "Shanghai Fortress"...

Well, "Shanghai Fortress"...

This is not the point, the point is his identity.

He said that if there are 1.5 million, there will be!
Come to think of it, last summer's "House of Flying Daggers" had a box office of 1.44 million. This year's summer file has a box office that exceeds it, which is called progress.

Huang Zhongjun answered: "1.5 million...another movie with over [-] million!"

"This is really thanks to China Film's release..."

Jiang Ping waved his hand: "...We release dozens of movies a year, and only a few can exceed [-] million. It's "National Witness" to fight for itself!"

Huang Zhongjun also spoke: ""Seven Swords" also has China Film to participate in the release, so the box office is not so good..."

"Director Xu Ke was hit in the waist by "The Legend of Shushan", and he lost his judgment on the movie a bit...but I believe he can recover soon!"

"...You want to cooperate with him?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I won't be a martial artist for now!"

"It's a pity…"

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Liu Chang, is the copyright of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outwitted" still in Bayi Factory's hands?"

"...Are you there? Do you have an idea?"

"Well, the last time I saw Brother Jackie Chan, he was interested in "Taking Tiger Mountain Outwit..."

"Jackie Chan?"

"He, a Hong Kong filmmaker, actually wants to remake "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart"?"

"His "Project A" was filmed according to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy"!"

"Oh...OK, I'll go back and find them to study..."

……

After all, it was Liu Yifei's home stadium. Shen Xudong left after delivering the gifts and chatting for a while.

Godfather Chen...has no intention of hooking up with Shen Xudong.

It's normal, Shen Xudong is only a fringe figure in the Beijing circle after all.

You don't need to deliberately please, and of course you can't be contemptuous, just deal with it in a normal state.

Even if Shen Xudong mentioned Jackie Chan, it was useless...

Godfather Chen has a clear view of the entertainment industry - a good project will always be on the central characters!
Brother Huayi is now the boss.

It so happened that Huang Zhongjun wanted to sign Liu Yifei—otherwise, why would he attend her birthday party?
Yuan Shikong presented a meeting gift "The King of Kung Fu", and a large number of kung fu superstars brought her...

I don’t know what happened later, anyway, Liu Yifei didn’t sign with Hua Yi, but instead signed with a foreign agency, and went to the United States after performing "The King of Kung Fu"...

When I come back, I will go to Hong Kong circle.

As for "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart"...

Shen Xudong just mentioned it, but Jackie Chan did have an idea to shoot.

In the original time and space, Jackie Chan mentioned "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" more than once. Unfortunately, he never had a chance. Later, the age was not appropriate. Bona took the copyright and found Zhang Hanyu...

It's a pity!

Shen Xudong wondered if he could help him realize his wish...

However, it depends on the courage of Liu Factory - Bayi Factory is a state-owned film studio, and profit is not the goal, so it is not easy to engage in commercial operations.

In the original time and space, when these red classics were restarted, there were many voices of opposition. The Bayi Factory even received a letter of report that "the Bayi Factory is surnamed the army and cannot be turned into a processing factory with other capitals."

……

On August 8, China Film, the publisher of "National Witness", officially announced that the box office has exceeded 19 million!

"National Witness" became the first film to exceed [-] million this year...

At this time, it has been released for 8 days, and the second weekend is not over yet.

Obviously, breaking through [-] million at the box office is not the end...

However, in the Hong Kong market, "National Witness" is obviously not very popular-the box office has not yet reached 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

normal...

After all, "National Witness" is neither Hong Kong, nor Hollywood—a big-selling movie in Hong Kong is either purely basic, or not Hong Kong at all.

It has a box office of more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars in 500 days of release, which is already a very good result!
"I'm quite happy... After all, "National Witness" is a co-production, but the proportion of mainland actors is higher. The success of this project proves that the so-called audience's pursuit of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars is a lie. The audience's pursuit is always just movies! "

When interviewed by the media, Shen Xudong made a serious statement.

"National Witness" broke [-] million, of course it's a big deal - it's temporarily ranked first in the year, and the fifth film in the history of Chinese films to break [-] million.

At the same time, it is also the second movie with over [-] million yuan in charge of the script by Shen Xudong. Similarly, it is the first movie with over [-] million yuan promoted by Tianmei Media~
What is this called?
This is called brand value!
Why is Hua Yi the boss?

Why is the new picture getting so much attention?

Big selling movies are king, these are added value...

And it is the only movie among the three blockbusters in the summer file this year that has broken through [-] million yuan!

Of course, Shen Xudong would show up to promote it.

"Recently, many experts say that you only have commercial films in your eyes..."

"I can make "National Witness" at a cost of 500 million, and experts will applaud it, but it only has a box office of 200 million... But now is the era of commercial films, and the mainstream market needs commercial films..."

"But I heard that "The Aviator" was shortlisted in Venice?"

"...Well... Didn't they say that I can only write commercial films? I will respond with "The Aviator"! Moreover, the more the company needs international awards to support its reputation, I will make an art film to win the award."

"Then "The Aviator" can win an award?"

"...Then I don't know, but I hope to win an award, so that there will be fewer people scolding me!"

"Do you care about online reviews?"

"...Of course...But I care more about the audience's evaluation. Movies belong to mass media, not high art. The right to speak is always in the hands of the audience!"

"What's the plan for the next one?"

"...I'm going to the Venice Film Festival in two days..."

"Any new works?"

"Recently, I've been thinking about something about death, but I don't have a clue... Maybe I need to learn more about the funeral industry..."

"Have you ever thought that one day the script you wrote won't be a hit?"

"I thought about it! But I thought again, if the movie doesn't sell well, the director must be to blame. How can anyone scold the screenwriter for a bad filming!"

……

The interview lasted only 10 minutes, and Shen Xudong was very busy.

In addition to participating in the main competition, the trip to Venice also has a screening unit, selling movies and so on.

There must be a party, after all, Gong Li and Chen Daoming will also go...

How to do it?
How much is the budget?

These all require him to make up his mind-the company has never experienced it.

In addition, "National Witness" is a big hit at the box office, so there is also a celebration.

There is another outrageous thing - Gao Fenfen is going to be on a talent show.

To be precise, BJ TV asked Gao Fenfen to do a talent show.

Following the trend of "Super Girl"...

"Supergirl" is too hot, and it doesn't give other TV stations the kind of popularity...

But Shen Xudong knows that 05 Super Girl is the first year and also the pinnacle. It can be said that 80% of the enthusiasm of the people who eat melons in the country has been consumed...

After that, the talent show never happened again.

and…

These are the follow-up effects. Shen Xudong has no confidence in the draft. In addition to worrying that his company will not be popular if he does it, there is also...the domineering attribute of the TV station.

"What if we do it, it becomes popular, and the TV station takes it away?"

　I have something to do today...

　　Take a leave of absence.
