At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 525 Premiere of "Ink Attack"

How do you integrate into the Hong Kong circle?
First of all, you have to speak out in various public places, revive Hong Kong films and so on, and participate in some activities, such as the Hong Kong International Film and Television Fair, Hong Kong Film Festival, and gatherings of major associations;

Secondly, link up with TVB and be a judge...

Miss Hong Kong or something.

Shen Xudong has no idea about the election of Miss Hong Kong: "Miss Hong Kong is a product of the times. The former Hong Kong entertainment industry wanted to quickly become an artist. Apart from joining the wireless artist training class, the only way to participate in the election of Miss Hong Kong..."

"Look, in just a few months of the election cycle, you have become a well-known figure in the city. After that, whether you want to join the entertainment industry or marry into a wealthy family, you have a piece of money that is worth a lot. stepping stone."

"However, among the Hong Kong actresses who have appeared on the big screen in recent years: Cecilia Cheung, Leung Loshi, and twins, none of them have experience in the Miss Hong Kong campaign..."

Chung Lifang had different opinions: "Charmaine Sheh debuted as Miss Hong Kong!"

"She's No.3... Good luck!" After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Our business focus must be in the mainland, but those who are qualified, it's no problem to praise them!"

At that time, the practice of beauty pageants in Hong Kong was to only win the championship, and even the runner-up had no resources, let alone the third runner-up.

But the wonderful thing is that Charmaine Sheh's champion Weng Jiasui and the runner-up Li Minghui both had no intention of career, they only wanted to win back their boyfriend and marry into a wealthy family, which made TVB who had a contract on the side very embarrassing.

The dignified TVB is actually no match for a man. If it gets out, what face will the Sixth Lord Run Run Shaw have?
Fortunately, TVB still has a spare tire, which is Charmaine Sheh.

Since the champion and the runner-up can't be counted on, it's okay to hold the third runner-up.

In this way, the second runner-up, Charmaine Sheh, picked up a big leak, signed a contract with TVB under the title of "Little Carina Lau", and became a key training object.

It is really a focus on training. The next year, I collaborated with Huang Rihua in "Tomorrow is Different", and starred in Jin Yong's drama "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".

But it's useless. She is a second-time TV actress, and she is far behind the previous Hong Kong sisters in terms of influence and income...

To put it bluntly, the platform of Miss Hong Kong and TVB is not attractive, and Golden Phoenix cannot be recruited.

Zhong Lifang didn't listen to this at all, and directly retorted: "So, you want to sign a young model?"

"Just tell me if they are pretty..."

"What can you do if you sign them?"

"sure!"

"...What can..." Zhong Lifang reacted: "I really admire you..."

"Forget it, if you resist so much, I won't sign it...

"I didn't resist... It's normal for a production company to have an artist agent, but you have to think about it seriously. Our company is going to make an action movie, so what's the matter if you sign a few young models?"

"There is really no talent!" Shen Xudong sighed: "Besides, there is a phenomenon that those who have been highly praised in recent years are basically from a good family background, because after entering the industry, everything needs money, except for training, as well as the appearance of the outfit. of…"

"But young model, I still feel a little ugly..."

"What's the matter? Shu Qi is still famous in tertiary films, but now she has become a first-line female star...Let me tell you, this circle has always laughed at the poor but not at the prostitute..."

……

"Why am I staying in Hong Kong? I don't understand company management... Besides, a group of management has changed..."

"It's definitely going to be changed. The film industry is very good at teaming up. It's normal to cheat money..."

It is very common for Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers to gang up on money...

Not only in the film field, but also in the Internet field!
He has memories. Tudou.com itself developed very well back then, comparable to Youku. Even with Wang Wei's divorce lawsuit, Tudou is not completely without chance!
But because of the gossip of senior executives within the company, the entire company declined rapidly...

In 09, the General Administration issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Internet Audio-Visual Program Content", which stipulated that all film and television content that has not obtained a license shall not be disseminated on the Internet.

However, Tudou's Taiwanese executives bought a large number of Japanese and Taiwanese programs regardless of the company's interests.These programs are not only ridiculously expensive, but also have tens of millions of dollars in vain without a license...

——Taiwanese executives take care of Taiwanese programs, which is not surprising, but it is incredible to spend such a large price!
Illegal introduction became the last straw that overwhelmed Tudou. CTO, CFO, and CEO left one after another...

Therefore, Golden Harvest's management must be replaced by mainlanders.

Besides, joining Golden Harvest is not for making Hong Kong films!

Pulling back, today is November 11th, Shen Xudong returned to BJ to participate in the premiere of "Mo Gong"...

After chatting with Gao Fenfen for a while, he drove to the premiere scene of "Mo Gong",

"There seem to be a lot of co-productions now, but most of them are just on the surface. Many Hong Kong films just invite a mainland actor to play a role that doesn't hurt, and it's considered a co-production..."

"Actually, according to the regulations of "CEPA", there are two requirements: no less than one-third of the main actors are from the mainland, and the storyline or main characters must be related to the mainland. Many co-productions do not meet the regulations!"

"...There's no need to go into it. They're all Chinese-language movies. As long as they don't break the rules and get a release permit, there shouldn't be any problem..."

Although it was the premiere of "Mo Gong", Shen Xudong was surrounded by a group of media, asking questions about Jiahe...

This is his first public appearance after acquiring Golden Harvest.

"Worth over [-] million? Isn't this worth mentioning? I don't do film and television for money!"

"...Andy Lau is here, go and interview him!"

After briefly answering a few questions, Shen Xudong found an excuse to get rid of the media, walked into the premiere hall, and then a group of people surrounded him, this time it was some directors and actors

Shen Xudong's status is different now.

Big boss of the film and television company!

And he is the boss of Golden Harvest, holding a bunch of projects...

What is this called?
This is called upstart!

Shen Xudong paid more attention to his image, greeted each of them, and then chatted with the main creative team of "Mo Gong" before going to sit in the auditorium...

……

In the 23 days before "Mo Gong", "Yun Shui Yao" firmly occupied the top box office list...

There are no other movies in the same period!
But because the market in November is very low, as of now, the box office of "Yun Shui Yao" is 11 million...

This statistic is obviously not high, but it's not bad either. After all, it's a movie with the main theme, and there are very few reservations!

Mainly rely on the publicity and promotion of Tianmei Company - the company is also one of the joint issuers.

Shen Xudong is very concerned about "Yun Shui Ballad". After all, the main characters have changed. Facts have proved that Chen Kun is indeed very bad. In Yuan Shikong, "Yun Shui Ballad" has a total box office of only 3600 million. This time it has already reached 3900 million Even if "Mo Gong" is released, it will not be a big problem for "Yun Shui Yao" to break 4000 million.

"Ink Attack"...

Shen Xudong has no memory, but after watching the scene, he understands why he has no memory!
The theme is vague and there is no in-depth thinking; the scene is grand but not detailed;High or low, one word - mediocrity.

The biggest fear of blockbusters is mediocrity, you are either bad or brilliant.

At least it will be topical!
"Mo Gong" is not close to each other, so it can't be called excellent, but it can't be called a bad film either...

No wonder there is no memory point...

Asked him to comment, Shen Xudong thought for a while, and replied: "It's not a typical blockbuster, but the production is very good...the soundtrack is not bad..."
