At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 550 I Think It's Quite Normal

"I heard that Xu Jinglei has set up a blog site called "Kaila"? Wang Shuo even ran over to write something for him...Did you be invited?"

"There is an invitation, of course, I did not agree..."

"how to say?"

"I have a contract with Sina Blog..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "Besides, I don't blog for making money...mainly for publicity... If I really want to make money, I can do paid reading..."

"I think what they said is that the business model is mainly based on paid clicks, and there may be advertisements in the future; if 10 people can watch it for a dime a day, they can earn [-] a day..."

"It's not that simple. After all, reading is not the daily necessities of life. If it's free, I can spend some time reading it. If you pay for it... Sorry, no one will read it!"

"Too…"

Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "If it was that simple, who would publish a book?"

"...Then now the BJ literary and art circle depends on Xudong?"

"Don't!" Shen Xudong quickly waved his hands: "I don't want to be someone else's father everywhere..."

"Ha ha…"

Several people involved Chen Xiaoxu's death again...

——Last month, Chen Xiaoxu passed away...

By the way, I criticized religion and so on, it is not allowed to write...

Zhao Linhai changed the subject: "I heard you want to be a director?"

"right…"

"Why do you suddenly want to be a director?"

"...This play originally wanted to be called 'The Birth of a Movie', but later I changed the name to "Rising Fame"..."

Shen Xudong roughly said about "Fame and Li Wan": "Lu Ziye gathered a group of people in the villa. He has a murder case in his hand, the 'three elders case'. He wants to make this case into a movie..."

"Blizzard Villa mode?"

"...No, the important thing in the Blizzard Villa mode is to find the murderer. "Rise to Fame" puts the real murderer in front of your eyes, and even puts on the handcuffs and fetters. Qi Leshan, the goal is to find the reason for Qi Leshan's murder..."

"Interesting... No wonder you want to direct yourself..."

"The main thing is that there is no difficulty in shooting..."

……

Of course, the topic of the sequel to "Zhao Zilong" cannot be avoided...

This is a big deal for the company!

Regarding the outcome of this matter, Zhao Xin has different opinions: "Andy Lau is from the Hong Kong circle after all, so many companies have been kind to him, and he couldn't refuse to ask him to star in "Dragon Unloading Armor"..."

Media Asia's "Infernal Affairs", "Love You Like a Dream"...

Not to mention China Star, when Andy Lau went bankrupt, Xiang Tai directly gave him a check...

Meiya Entertainment specializes in releasing DVDs, and the owner, Li Guoxing, is also one of the major entertainment tycoons in Hong Kong...

How can Andy Lau wipe his face off?

"...It's okay, this incident shows that we are not the same as him..."

"On the contrary," Zhao Xin shook his head: "I think I can find Andy Lau to make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong". In addition to Xu Ke's version of Huang Feihong, Li Lian also collaborated with Wang Jing on "Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede"..."

"Yes, there is competition for talents. In the final analysis, the film and television industry still relies on people!" Liao Gaoxiang also said: "...You are not saying that you want to prove that the success of "Zhao Zilong" is mainly due to the producer, not a certain person. Director?"

Zhao Xin added: "Find a director, make a sequel to "Zhao Zilong", and tell the audience that this is orthodox!"

Even Zhao Linhai said: "...By the way, tell those Hong Kong film companies who is capable!"

"Wait a minute!" Shen Xudong had a headache from the noise: "Let me take a look... What do you mean, not only should I not blame Andy Lau, but also invite him to join the sequel of "Zhao Zilong"?"

"Correct!"

"Why? I don't need to lick him like that!"

"I didn't let you lick it... At this time, it is correct for you to let go of the past. If you are upset, you can ask Zhong Dong to send an invitation, and invite him at a price lower than the market price... The world is not about fighting and killing, it is more about the world! "

Shen Xudong thought about it...

It's still feasible, change the director to Chen Jiashang!

"...I'm going to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, let's talk about it then!"

……

Although the sequel of "Zhao Zilong" has been suspended, Golden Harvest is still running in an orderly manner. On April 4, "New World" will be released...

And it's released all over Asia...

In fact, it was released in places such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Philippines...

South Korea and the Japanese benzene market still have to wait for the market reaction-the Korean film businessmen have learned to be smart, and they no longer dare to spend money to buy movies!
Several blockbuster films lost too much money.

No matter how you say it, the film "New World" is unlikely to be released in the mainland.

Because this movie mercilessly exposes, criticizes, and reflects on the just party in the natural sense-the police.

Except for Section Chief Jiang who used all kinds of despicable means to force Li Zicheng to become a fan in the name of righteousness, even at the secret meeting that decided to implement the "New World" plan, the senior police officers who reported to Director Gao were completely wise and safe. Handle it in a traditional way: everything is done thanks to the strong support of the leader;
On the other hand, the relationship between Ding Qing and Li Zicheng is really a good brother who has been together day and night for many years, and has gone through life and death. Ding Qing's trust in Li Zicheng is unreserved and unquestionable.

Such an incorrect movie released in the Mainland?

"Manslaughter" can be released, I have done my best!

Fortunately, the cost of "New World" is under strict control, less than 3000 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the starring lineup is well-known, there are not many celebrities-Wu Zhenyu, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun...

By the way, there are no mainland actors in the cast, except Chen Hao, Tang Yan and Zeng Li for the female roles.

On the first day of release in Hong Kong, "New World" received unanimous praise - comparable to "Infernal Affairs"...

The box office of the first four days was 1200 million Hong Kong dollars...

It grossed HK$1760 million in the second week of its release, with a cumulative box office of 2900 million!
According to estimates, the total box office in Hong Kong is at least 4000 million!
All kinds of publicity in the media - the work of saving the market...

After all, after "Zhao Zilong" took 4700 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, the market has been in a downturn, and there is no movie that breaks [-] million...

The box office of the well-reputed "Whenever It Changes" is only 880 million...

"Detective", co-directed by Wei Jiahui and To Qifeng, has a box office of 1017 million...

"New World", regardless of the lineup or investment, is not top-notch, and the box office is close to 11 million in 3000 days of release?
And it is also very popular overseas. Singapore and Taiwan earned box office equivalent to more than 600 million and 900 million Hong Kong dollars respectively, and Malaysia also won 650 million Hong Kong dollars...

It's hot...

"Zhao Zilong", "New World"...

Two consecutive films were popular, and the most direct impact was that Golden Harvest's stock price rebounded - although it did not rise to the previous 14 billion Hong Kong dollars, the market value returned to more than 10 billion.

So, film and television companies rely on works, not a certain project!
On April 4th, Shen Xudong arrived in Hong Kong. When he got off the plane, he was surrounded by a group of media who asked him his opinion on "New World": "I think it's quite normal. Movies always rely on the movie itself. The audience is because they like a movie. Then I like the actors themselves, the director himself..."

"When writing the script of "New World", I referred to "Blood Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs" when I wrote it...It's just that the line of opposites is blurred..."

"Didn't you copy Infernal Affairs?"

Shen Xudong stopped: "Plagiarized "Infernal Affairs"? Apart from the "police undercover gangster", are there any similarities between these two films? Can't it be said that having a police undercover means plagiarizing "Infernal Affairs"? I remember that there were undercover gangsters." The concept of the film is clearly carried forward by director Zhang Guoming, "Pointing to the Soldier", "Marginal Man"..."

"But the temperament is close to "Infernal Affairs"..."

"...You can write it however you like...there are so many cop and gangster routines..."
