At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 457

The purpose of movie promotion is to expand popularity and let the audience know that there is such a movie released!

However, domestic film promotion has another intention: to show it to theaters.

Otherwise, the theater will not arrange films for you!

Later, another item was added: deliberately avoiding actors who make the audience hate, such as the promotion of "Dragon Horse Spirit", if you only read the promotion, you would not know that the heroine is Liu Haocun;

And... Hachiko the Faithful Dog.

Feng Xiaogang is really embarrassing, the film studio's propaganda focuses on the little dog in the movie, not Feng Xiaogang...

Pulling back, this time the promotion of "Republic of China" has added a variety show promotion, and the three leading actors have all gone to "Happy Camp"...

After all, "Base Camp" has a high ratings, which has intuitive benefits for publicity.

However, as a screenwriter and planner, Shen Xudong must also participate in the promotion.

"Although there aren't any blockbuster movies in April, the odds are here... So, we must mobilize as many audiences as possible to enter the theater..."

"Well, just try your best."

Huang Bin didn't know what he thought of: "It's a pity that "Republic of China" did not use Hong Kong actors, otherwise, the copyright will be sold..."

"It's not necessary...the cost is more than 1000 million. If you use Hong Kong actors, the cost will be increased by at least [-]%." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Also, Golden Harvest also said that they will try to release it!"

"Republic of China" is a series after all, Shen Xudong still has ideas about the box office in Southeast Asia, why not give it a try, what if it succeeds?
"Hong Kong movies have already laid a solid foundation. Gangster movies, action movies, martial arts movies...three major genres have swept across Southeast Asia. What we have to do is to follow these three genres..."

Shen Xudong was playing, when the phone rang...it was Chen Musheng.

"...No, I am here this time mainly to find Jiahe to continue to cooperate!"

"I'll see Huang Baiming later..."

"Then I can't go to see Du Qifeng, can I?"

"...OK, tomorrow night."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Huang Bin, "Let's go!"

Huang Bin nodded, and the two got up...

……

Apart from Huang Baiming, Shen Xudong couldn't think of a second collaborator!
The only Hong Kong directors who can play today are those few...

First of all, get rid of Du Qifeng - if you offend Du Qifeng, it is tantamount to offending his entire team!
Wang Jing and Cheng Tian got very close, and in the past few years, Wang Jing made a lot of bad movies during the exploration period...

Other people also paid homage to the top of the mountain. For example, the trio of Zhuang Wenqiang, Mak Zhaohui, and Liu Weiqiang went to Bona.

Huang Baiming still had some energy left.

Besides, "Ip Man" still relies on him to organize the game...

As for screenwriting work...

Let his son Huang Ziheng be responsible!
To be honest, apart from the plot of the first part of the "Ip Man" series, there are still some highlights, and the next few are all running accounts!
The plots are better than the first, but the play is better than the first!

Routine plot: The sense of humiliation is constantly superimposed and accumulated, and the audience is constantly being substituted into the humiliation, forming a continuous emotional depression. By the way, there will be another strongest Chinese other than Ip Man who tries to clear the humiliation but is defeated again, so Deduced a new and higher value of humiliation, emotional depression reached the breaking point, and then Ye Man appeared on the stage, with a slight advantage in the tie, and gradually lost the wind when injured, found the right opportunity and fought back with his life, and pressed the opponent to the ground expressionlessly for a while. Hammer... In the end, the emotional release and humiliation seemed to be washed away.

From the first part of the "Ip Man" series, every ultimate opponent will always set the competition as an open competition out of "unconvinced" or "looking down", so, life and death have become the Olympics. Inequalities on other levels are erased, and everything returns to purest competition.

But it's a hit...

Why is the first one okay?
The first part is something that explores the routines and then establishes the routines, so it still has some less mature and less greasy rough jade feeling, and some more lively rough edges.

The characters have a clearer growth curve, and the completion of several supporting roles is also better.

However, the psychological foreshadowing is relatively insufficient, that is, the process of superimposing and accumulating the sense of humiliation mentioned above is relatively sloppy.

So the last big orgasm also seemed sloppy-Ye Man won quickly after receiving two punches.

In fact, the whole movie, although traversing heads-up, one-on-many, group battles, indoors, outdoors, empty-handed, and weapons, is a crushing game from beginning to end without exception.

Of course, I didn't plan to do so many films at the beginning.

Shen Xudong's positioning of "Ip Man" is very clear - to make money.

In this regard, Huang Baiming has more experience than him.

……

Huang Baiming's directorial career was suspended in 95 - "Wolf Kiss Horror Night", trying to combine strange case stories with comedy themes to open up a new film creation mode.

It's a pity that there is a natural gap between the serious theme of strange cases and the form of comedy.

Even Jackie Chan, the overlord of Hong Kong films at that time, had to give up his comedy performance when filming "Serious Crime Squad".

It can be seen that it is not easy to integrate the two elements of strange cases and comedy.

In the end, "Wolf Kiss Horror Night" only received 390 million Hong Kong dollars, and the word-of-mouth suffered from Waterloo...

Huang Baiming suspended his directing career for 7 years.

From 1995 to 2002, although Huang Baiming participated in the shooting of many film works as a screenwriter and producer, he never created any works as a director.

In 02, I filmed "Brotherly Love", which was also a disastrous failure at the box office...

With the rise of the mainland market, Huang Baiming certainly has ideas.

He chose an action movie, and tested the waters of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "Fuse", and the male lead was Donnie Yen.

Now looking for distribution companies in the Mainland.

Yuan Shikong, he chose Bona Films, and later cooperated with Huayi and Guangguang Media respectively...

Shen Xudong came here with sincerity - buy out directly!
Gao Fenfen gave a bottom line of 3000 million!

Oh, two films!
Therefore, Shen Xudong is very serious...Huang Baiming came to see him with the idea of ​​negotiating...

Then... feel what a high-end game is!

Huang Baiming didn't talk to him at all, but invited him to a nightclub to experience the nightlife in Hong Kong.

……

What is business?

Eat and talk about things?
Too low, the so-called business negotiation is about business.

From Huang Baiming's point of view, Shen Xudong is very similar to him. They are both screenwriters. Now they run their own company, and they all like beautiful women...

The news about Shen Xudong's liking for beautiful women is actually the rumor that Shen Xudong hit ten girls on the yacht last year.

Everyone is not serious!
It's easy to handle if you are not a decent person...

Although in Huang Baiming's opinion, Shen Xudong is not a big shot, but he has full potential and can be regarded as a half-step big shot.

arrangement!

Isn't she just a young model...

Shen Xudong once again practiced his true qualities as a man...

Art is not divided into regions, we need to communicate frequently, and don't be stingy...

It should be noted that the relationship between people is based on mutual communication.

It was almost ten o'clock the next day before he got out of bed.

Going downstairs, Huang Bin was already waiting for him in the lobby: "Boss Huang asked us to have lunch together."

"…Row."
