At first, I just wanted to make money

Regarding the release of "Juno", Joseph Drake has two suggestions, either use the Toronto Film Festival to promote a wave, and focus on the awards season...

Either go to Sundance...that's next year.

In Toronto, we have to do all the post-production in September, and it is too late.

It has to be the Sundance Film Festival.

Refer to Harvey's promotion of "Little Miss Sunshine", build momentum through the Sundance Film Festival, and then order screenings. When public opinion is at its peak, it will be directly expanded...

Shen Xudong said: "The release of independent films must go through the film festival to build momentum. I'm afraid Venice and Toronto will not be able to catch up. What Joseph means is next year's Sundance..."

"...You just have to be sure."

Gao Fenfen has no objections—a film like "Juno" is unlikely to be released in the mainland, and the subject matter is inappropriate. Pregnant before marriage!
"Don't worry, Jennifer Garner has dropped her salary to star in, and "Juno" will definitely be a blockbuster!"

Jennifer Garner, the wife of Ben Affleck, is quite famous in the old United States.

Well, Juno cost $750 million, Jennifer Garner was paid $150 million and invested $150 million by the way...

No way, the first promotional point of the original space-time "Juno" is that the film's investor is the famous Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner...

With the help of Big Ben's reputation.

Big Ben is very famous in Hollywood. In the 90s, he took his younger brother and good friend Matt Damon to "surrender" to Weinstein and formed the "Boston School" under the Weinstein family.

However, Shen Xudong and Ben Affleck have never met. This person is an idiot. People should at least do their homework before expressing their political opinions. How about him?Directly yelling at the Chinese to get out of Korea...

Also talent!

Pulling back, Shen Xudong was about to ask about the situation of "The Tailor", Gao Fenfen suddenly said: "Hey, you just said that the country must support the original version, then... shall we build a video website?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked back: "...Why do you have such an idea?"

"You don't think so?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "My idea is that anyway, the new media copyright is now at the price of cabbage, we will sign it directly, and then sell it to other video sites..."

"...then why not just buy one yourself?"

"purchase?"

"That's right, there are a lot of video sites on the market, let's pick one with a nice name and buy it directly..."

Well, at this stage, video websites are closed projects, such as Tudou, Youku, Kuaidao, Baofengyingyin, Kuliu, PPTV, 56.com, PPS, Liujianfang...

Hundreds of large and small video sites have been launched one after another.

If you can hold on, you have a chance!
For the time being... the copyright war has not yet started, so it is not difficult to hold on.

What's more, he still has Jiahe in his hand!

So, Shen Xudong thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's take a stake in a family first... and then develop slowly..."

"Buy the copyright first!"

"...Is our company rich?"

"Fortunately, 5000 million can still be taken out. Let's invest in a video company..."

"What about the right to speak? What about management? I don't understand these things, do you understand?"

"You don't need to know that much to make a video website, I'm going to..."

Gao Fenfen explained her plan in detail, which is nothing more than buying shares and then buying copyrights...persist until the relevant departments promulgate policies...

The idea is similar to Shen Xudong's - there is no idea of ​​spending money to make a big video website.

Yes, I really can't afford it...

Shen Xudong changed the subject: "I read the box office report, how come the box office of "The Tailor" is only 1500 million in the first weekend?"

"1500 million is already pretty good," Gao Fenfen rolled her eyes: "According to the forecast given by the theater, the total box office must be above 4000 million! "Dragon Tiger Gate" is only 4000 million..."

Before she could speak to Shen Xudong, Gao Fenfen continued: "You must know that our cost is only less than 1500 million... plus overseas copyrights, after splitting accounts, a few can earn 1000 million!"

"That's not much..."

"...Not many?" Gao Fenfen was a little speechless: "Mr. Shen, we have released four films this year, each of which is profitable. Do you know what it is called?"

"what is it call?"

"Miracle…"

Well... I forgot that this is the era of 'making movies is equal to losing money'.

……

"The Tailor" starring Chen Daoming is a mosaic movie that refers to "Suits" and "Little People".

The cost is very low - the main scene is just a tailor's shop, basically it's the actor's salary to spend some money...

The entire story of the film takes place in a tailor shop, using a small space as a stage, and various characters appear on the stage one by one, advancing the plot through a large number of dialogues, and finally ushering in the climax in the form of reversal and reversal.

Summarize the plot in one sentence: the story of a tailor using tricks to eradicate gangsters.

In fact, this theme can also be placed in ancient times and made into a martial arts film: a hidden master opens a tailor shop, encounters a vendetta and uses intelligence to resolve it...

But martial arts, the most important thing is the action scene, no matter how witty the battle is, there is no direct fight...

It's the same in modern dramas...

A movie with no big scenes, even if the script is superb, is destined to be a niche!
The results of "The Tailor"... were actually within Shen Xudong's expectations.

Isn't this "Crazy Stone" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" one after another big hits, wondering if "The Tailor" can also bring surprises...

Still overestimated Chen Daoming's box office value...

Acting skills and box office value are still two concepts.

I also thought that "The Tailor" could break [-] million or something.

Now it seems that dreaming is faster...

Of course, this is only Shen Xudong's opinion, but in the circle, a group of people have become numb: what is the concept of 2006 million box office in 4000?
The top ten levels of the year!

For the time being, it ranks fifth in the year, second only to "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", "Crazy Stone", "Fearless" and "Republic of China"...

That's right, except that "Fearless" has nothing to do with Tianmei Media, the four films are all released by Tianmei Media, and there are two major investment...

……

Now that I am back, I must join the promotion of "The Tailor"...

Anyway, Shen Xudong is also the screenwriter and producer of "The Tailor"—although it is only a nominal producer.

"I like Gu Long's novels very much. The drama "Tailor" is actually a modern version of a hidden master who opens a tailor shop and encounters a feud in the rivers and lakes with intelligence..."

"In addition, I also want to try to present gangster-themed crime movies with a single scene and close to the whole film..."

In an interview with Sina Entertainment, Shen Xudong spared no effort to recommend "The Tailor": "I think that the writing of a single scene can best reflect the level of screenwriters. "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Tremor Space" include "Dreams Come into Reality" that was released a while ago... "

"From the very beginning, I knew that this type of movie was going to be hard to sell..."

Shen Xudong talked eloquently, and then the reporter who interviewed couldn't help it: "Xudong, do you think "The Tailor" is not a hit?"

"In my opinion, if the box office is less than [-] million, it is not a blockbuster!"

"...uh, well, you go ahead..."

Shen Xudong was a little speechless, what do you mean by 'I continue'?
"You ask, what should I continue?"

The reporter took out a card: "...I love to see you, many netizens on the Internet said that you haven't been a martial artist for a long time..."

"...No, "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is under preparation"

"What about "The Deer and Ding Tale"?"
