At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 521 Foresight and persuasion
Mommy Liu chatted with Gong Li very enthusiastically...

Gong Li's status is still there!
As an extra note, the Huayi Brothers tried to sign Gong Li back then, but she refused.

Huayi's reputation is really bad in the circle - the so-called one brother and one sister system was publicly scolded by Li Xiaowan: "It's like a brothel in the old society..."

What is the purpose of signing actors and making them stars Chen?

Do you want to create a dream?
Of course not, in fact, the main purpose of Huayi's stars is for socializing.

It can be used by oneself or added to.

It is normal in the industry for a female celebrity to accompany the boss to participate in the wine bureau. Which of the female celebrities in Huayi did not come here like this?

Taking advantage of the drinking party, the boss took advantage of the drunkenness to touch and hug her, these are trivial things.

Touching and hugging is a test, not fierce resistance is acquiescence, and then we can communicate in depth!

There was a popular saying in those years: the strength of a company depends on who the boss leads.

If you bring Gong Li...

Tsk tsk, I think it's very face-saving when I think about it.

It is also very convenient to attract investment!

It's just that when Aunt Liu is chatting, she always intentionally or unintentionally reveals that her daughter's album is selling well, her popularity is super high, etc...

It's really fierce, the first album sold 62 copies...

It's okay, the Japanese album will be released soon, 500 copies in the first week...

The evaluation is: not as good as Xiao Zhan!

……

Shen Xudong continued to chat with Huang Zhonglei about the New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve is indeed very intense, "Curse of the Golden Armor", "Manslaughter", and "City of Wounds" are three filmings for you to fight!

In addition, "Yun Shui Ballad" and "Mo Gong" will be released in November, as well as "The Good Man in the Mountain Gorge" and "Big Movie"...

It's the New Year's Eve, and it's a battleground.

"Golden Armor" bears the brunt, shouting the slogan of 4 million box office - more than "Titanic"...

Oh, "Golden Armor" will be released on December 12;
"Manslaughter" will be released on December 12th, and "Scarred City" will be released on December 4nd.

《云水谣》11月1号，《墨攻》11月23号——华宜想避开《007:大战皇家赌场》，这部电影本来说好是中美同时上映的。

Of course, for some reason, "007: Casino Royale" was squeezed into the Spring Festival file, and it was against "The Disciple"...

Therefore, the Huayi Brothers actually have a movie for the Lunar New Year holiday this year - "Ink Attack".

""Ink Attack" seems to be released on November 11, right?"

"That also avoided the most intense time!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...I guess it must be Yu Dong who is arguing with Zhang Weiping."

Huang Zhonglei nodded: "Well, I heard that Zhang Weiping's New Picture Company has signed an exclusive screening agreement with China Film Digital Cinemas. From December 12th this year to January 14th next year, China Film Digital Cinemas will only show one movie, which is "Golden Armor"..."

"Really?"

"Well, it has exploded!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This is too outrageous. The China Film Digital Cinema Line was originally created to support the distribution of small and medium-budget domestic films, but now it has become a blockbuster monopoly..."

Compared with film copy distribution, digital distribution is a cheaper distribution method, and there is no need to pay a high amount of money for film copying. The emergence of China Film Digital Cinema is really to encourage small and medium-cost domestic films...

"What do you want?"

""Manslaughter" China Film also invested, let me tell Director Han..."

Huang Zhonglei changed the subject: "When will Chairman Shen return to the capital?"

"Me? The day after tomorrow..."

"Are you free to get together?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't have time right now... I have to cast roles, and I have several projects to do."

"Is it "Zhu Xian"?"

"Hmm... Huang Dong actually cares about TV dramas?"

"I heard it's a great production of Xianxia..."

Shen Xudong smiled and denied: "No matter how big the production is, it can't compare to Huayi. I heard that I will cooperate with Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan in "Double J Project"? Will I also cooperate with Zhou Xingchi in "Kung Fu 2"?"

"...The copyright of "Kung Fu" is in the hands of Columbia, even if Zhou Xingchi wants to make it!"

At this stage, Huayi Brothers is the leader of private film and television production companies in the Mainland.

Bona should be the second child...

Yu Dong has almost monopolized the distribution of Hong Kong movies in the mainland, such as "Infernal Affairs 3", "Twin Heroes", "Initial D" and so on. Yu Dong even adopted a full-year package model for some Hong Kong company films. Buy the other party's annual film distribution rights before the film is produced.

Of course, at this stage, Bona has not been too involved in the production.

Tianmei Media should be considered the third...

However, the cost of the projects controlled by Tianmei Media is relatively low, and they have never made so-called blockbuster films. Even if they release "Hurricane Rescue" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", they are still with China Film...

But there is one thing, Tianmei is much better than Bona, the latter has not released a movie with a box office of over [-] million!

Last year, Tianmei's "National Witness" has already exceeded [-] million, and this year there are two films "Crazy Racing" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" that have exceeded [-] million.

"Manslaughter" has prepared 800 copies, of course not as good as the 1100 copies of "Golden Armor", but it is also very high. You must know that "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" only has 1000 copies released...

The cost is different, and the genre is also different. "Manslaughter" is a suspense film, and the ceiling is not high, so the company's goal is only to exceed [-] million.

……

"How can there be so many suitable movie scripts... In commercial movies, there is actually no room for female characters to perform. They are either used as vases or props... You can't act in comedy!"

"Our Sissy is about to cooperate with Jackie Chan and Li Lianhe."

"...All right, I wish you success..."

Shen Xudong tried to persuade her, but it didn't help. Aunt Liu didn't like TV dramas at all.

They are all focused on getting their daughter promoted to a movie cafe.

Brother Lian Huayi said they refused, let alone such a small project as "Zhu Xian"!

Shen Xudong was too lazy to talk anymore, turned around and chatted with Chen Hao about "The Ancient City of Exquisiteness". While chatting, Huang Zhonglei joined in: ""The Ancient City of Exquisiteness"?"

"...A movie adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"..."

"I heard that Xu Ke is filming another movie?"

""Embroidered Spring Knife" is also invested by us... Director Xu is the producer, and the director is Lei Yaoliang...He is mainly busy with "The Ancient City"!"

"...Then when will the shooting be?"

Shen Xudong looked at Chen Hao: "You ask her, she is the heroine..."

The latter took the initiative to say: "I received the news last week that the filming of "Xiu Chun Knife" is finished... It is estimated that "The Ancient City of Essence" will officially start next month..."

Huang Zhonglei was surprised: "Congratulations to Chen Hao, I heard that the cost of "Exquisite Ancient City" is 1.8 million?"

"Plus publicity and distribution costs are almost the same..."

"Big movie!"

"Not at all, the cost of this kind of treasure hunting and adventure films cannot be reduced..."

"You guys are still amazing, it's a domestic blockbuster, and it's Hollywood..."

Oh, that's what it means!

Shen Xudong didn't hide it either: "Good luck, I met a few rich friends...wait a minute..."

Chen Xi came over and whispered something to him: "Sister Gao just told me that Wrinkles is going to transfer the shares!"

"Really? If he wants to sell, we'll buy..."

"How much do you think his shares are?"

"1.23 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"...Have you calculated everything?"

"nonsense…"

After the exchange, Shen Xudong took Chen Xi with him, and the two left...

The ownership of Golden Harvest is much more important than the reception!
