At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 406 Box Office Guarantee

At this time, "The Aviator" has been released for three days, with a cumulative box office of about 800 million, which is not particularly high, but it is highly discussed online!

Especially after Shen Xudong's blog "About the Creative Intention of "The Aviator" was uploaded - many media broke the news that "The Aviator" rejected Tian Zhuangzhuang's adaptation;

He explained: "Mr. Tian Zhuangzhuang thinks about the tragedy of Don Quixote, but I want to express the romance of Chinese flying into the sky... It is a conflict of ideas. In fact, Li Mingqi's dream of flying into the sky can be said to be as absurd as Don Quixote. It is also a man's dream. ...'

Netizens mostly support his point of view, thinking that "The Aviator" is very romantic...

Of course, 800 million opening weekend box office...

It is also a new low for Shen Xudong's screenwriting films in recent years.

But... In the field of award-winning films, it refreshed the box office record of 330 million in the first weekend created by "Peacock"...

In addition, the award-winning movies are all released on DVD simultaneously...

In terms of DVD audio-visual copyright, I really want to thank "Peacock".

The domestic audiovisual copyright of "Peacock" was sold at a pitifully low price...

Before "Peacock" went to Germany to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, Guangdong Zhongkai Culture bought the domestic distribution rights of the film.

Moreover, Zhongkai took all the domestic distribution rights of several popular films such as "Peacock" and "Lover's Knot" and "A Letter from a Strange Woman", and bought them in a package-the prices of several films added up to less than 200%. to [-] million.

Then, after "Peacock" won the award, it sold 60 DVDs a month...

Zhongkai Culture picked up a big leak!
This time "The Aviator", Zhongkai Culture quoted 600 million yuan, which also set a new record for the audiovisual copyright of the award-winning film!
And sold nearly 80 DVDs in three days...

Wang Yu, the person in charge of Zhongkai, directly said, "The supply is basically in short supply. We underestimated the influence of Shen Xudong!" '

That's right, what he said was 'the influence of Shen Xudong'!
……

The Chinese opera is at the beginning of the new semester, and there are many people.

There are more people gathered today.

The special screening of "The Aviator" will start soon.

Some teachers, experts, journalists were invited, and students volunteered to...

The day after tomorrow, I will go to Nortel to hold a show, and then I will hold a show in Shanghai.

It's not good to favor one over another!
The venue is the Experimental Theater of Chinese Opera, which is enough to accommodate more than 700 spectators...

But today the hall was packed, and even many students were standing...

"The Aviator" won the award. The screenwriter is Shen Xudong, a senior student in the drama department of Chinese opera, and the directors Zhou Shen and Liu Lu are in the directing department, including the lead actor Chen Hao, who is also a student of Chinese opera...

What is this called?
Children of my own family!

Chen Xiao is from the 05th grade of Chinese Opera. He was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, BJ Film Academy, and Nanjing University of the Arts at the same time, and finally chose Chinese Opera.

It was a normal choice. Before the flood of stars, Chinese opera was the most well-known, and it has always been considered the highest palace of Chinese film and television academies, because it has the longest history, the widest influence, the most famous teachers, and endless artists.

Nortel caught up later, and the big reason is that it makes a lot of stars and makes a lot of money!

After all, Chen Xiao came to watch the movie specially, went into the school theater familiarly, and found a seat in the back row.

In the front row, a bunch of teachers are helping to receive them.

After all, it is a movie made by people from Chinese opera!
At this time, in the lounge, Shen Xudong was chatting with some friends who came to join him, including Chen Daoming...

Chen Daoming came here specially to support.

"Outstanding Citizen", the best actor in Venice, has established his position as the best actor. The box office hit of "National Witness" in the summer file has once again proved its appeal...

Ushered in the latest climax of the career, this time can be described as proud!

However, even though he was proud of himself, he was still the same as before: "Xiaogang went to film "The Banquet", and Huang Jianxin is very interested in "Blockbuster"..."

Shen Xudong was a little surprised: "...Director Huang is interested?"

"Um…"

"Then, is it okay to let him take pictures?"

"...It's fine if you don't have an opinion!"

"What advice can I have, Director Huang, I have always admired him!"

Huang Jianxin's director Civic is underestimated. The black and humorous films he made are incomprehensible to foreigners and won't win awards, so his reputation is not as good as other fifth-generation directors...

"Back to Back, Face to Face", "The Black Cannon Incident", "Dislocation"...

In fact, when our generation watches movies, at first they all watch Hong Kong movies, martial arts movies, kung fu movies, and then gunfight movies, from the three Hui brothers, [-]% every two weeks, Tsui Hark and Wong Kar Wai, to Hollywood blockbusters...

After watching movies for so many years, I have watched too many of these commercial films. Except for a few thought-provoking films, the rest of the films have no urge to re-watch or re-watch.

Many early films in Taiwan and mainland China are very interesting.Works from the late 80s and early 90s like Edward Yang, Hou Xiaoxian, Huang Jianxin, etc., are all good, and not boring at all...

……

"When we were in school, some directors would often bring their works to the show... To be honest, I couldn't understand many clips of those directors, but I was too embarrassed to ask questions, for fear of being despised... After all, I also studied directing Well!"

"Today, Liu Lu and I are showing our new film here. I hope you like it, and I hope you will be outspoken... Let's communicate normally!"

On the stage, Zhou Shen took the microphone and said a few words before stepping off the stage, and then the scene slowly fell silent.

When the lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and the screen was also completely dark, and the sound of the roar of the plane came out of the darkness.

"Airplane, airplane!"

There was a little girl's voice, the screen turned on, and a line of small words appeared in the lower right corner: 1978...

The little boy was not that excited, he just looked up at the sky in a daze, with a hint of longing in his eyes...

"Li Mingqi, when will your paper airplane fly so high?"

"...a paper airplane can't fly that high, it doesn't have an engine..."

This episode lasts about 10 minutes, and mainly reveals Li Mingqi’s life experience. His father was an aircraft engineer. He was knocked down in a special age. Unable to bear the humiliation, he chose to commit suicide, and his mother also committed suicide...

But Li Mingqi kept the airplane model his father gave him—the dream of building an airplane is rooted deep in his heart...

Luckily he still has grandparents...

The camera turned, and in 1992, the speech of the Southern Tour was broadcast on TV, and the slogan "We must completely break the iron wages, iron rice bowls, and iron chairs!" was written on the wall of the factory.

Because getting married requires money.

Mainly, Li Jiao's mother, played by Chen Hao, doesn't like him and insists on him taking out a gift of 5000 yuan...

Li Mingqi gave up his iron rice bowl and recruited two friends, Zhu Yuwen and Lu Fangsheng, to be laid off to make a living...

He is very smart and opened a steel bar processing workshop with excellent skills and a very good business...

It looks like I'm about to save 5000 yuan.

On a summer evening, the three of them were enjoying the cool air in the yard, when Zhu Yuwen suddenly mentioned the newspaper he read today——"The Flying Dream of a Farmer": Cao Zhengshu, a farmer in Anxian County, Sichuan, started building airplanes in his humble workshop in 1984 , so far four test flights have failed.

"I saw a picture of the plane he built... It's nothing, the engine and the engine are all tractors, and I want to take it to the sky with this thing!"

"...Building an airplane is not that simple... Engines, brackets, rear propellers, fuel tanks, and control sticks all need professional calibration..."

Li Mingqi listened to what they said, and stood up: "...let's build an airplane!"

"...are you kidding me? Do you know how much it costs to build an airplane?"

"That's right, don't think too much about it, just bring your wife home first!"

At this time, the teachers off the field frowned with disapproval...

Because this plot happened so naturally—then, the dowry money must be used to build airplanes...

Nothing new!
