At first, I just wanted to make money

"Judging from the transactions in Cannes this year, the trend of domestic martial arts has indeed ebbed, and many so-called blockbuster films can't sell overseas copyrights at all...I often travel to the United States, and I have a general understanding of the American market. Now there is still a market for Chinese films, including action films. ..."

"There is no insinuation... It's just a joke;"

""Red Cliff"... is also a joke. Could it be that director Wu Yusen really filmed Cao Cao going south for Xiao Qiao...I don't believe that an international director would be so ignorant!"

Shen Xudong calmly responded to questions from the media and reporters.

Uh, this group of media are not fools. It is obvious that Chen Daoming's character has something to learn from...Zhang Weiping.

As for the easter egg part, it should be teasing the Three Kingdoms theme to follow suit...

"Oh, the last few lines were pondered by Uncle Ge and Uncle Daoming... I just said that the theme of the Three Kingdoms is very hot..."

"Uncle Dao Ming sometimes goes online to see what netizens think about his acting skills..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong added: "I remember Uncle Ge saw the evaluation of Uncle Daoming's acting skills: when the acting was too serious, he laughed so hard..."

"Uncle Ge was invited by Teacher Daoming... Director Huang was recommended by Teacher Daoming..."

"Box office forecast... I think it should be over [-] million... After all, one of these two is a Cannes Best Actor and the other is a Venice Best Actor. You can say that they are national treasure actors..."

"During the filming... I went to the scene, anyway, I know that "Kou Laoxier" must not be mentioned in front of them..."

Well, Shen Xudong did it on purpose, "Kou Laoxier", a TV series co-operated by Ge You and Chen Daoming, a TV series that forced Ge Youdeng to apologize...

……

"Didn't you read the script of "Red Cliff"?"

"...I didn't watch the final version... However, when Wu Yusen approached me, he did say 'add more drama to Xiao Qiao'..."

After the premiere, Shen Xudong was grabbed by Feng Xiaogang and the others and insisted on having dinner together.

It's true that we haven't met for a while.

After finding a restaurant, ordering good food, and chatting about "Big Movie", Feng Xiaogang always felt that Shen Xudong was holding back, and he was even thinking about Chen Daoming's sentence in the movie, "Change the plot and change the reason why Cao Cao sent troops to Soochow." Cheng wants to get Xiao Qiao...'Maybe it's true!

Shen Xudong firmly refused to admit it...

After all, he did not read the script of "Red Cliff".

Briefly, the movie "Red Cliff" had nine screenwriters before and after. Unfortunately, the names of the first nine screenwriters didn't even appear in the film's cast and crew!
Who were the screenwriters who ended up writing the movie?

In order, they are Wu Yusen himself, screenwriter Chen Han, Taiwanese screenwriter Guo Zheng, and there is only one well-known mainland screenwriter Sheng Heyu...

——Sheng Heyu just finished the script of "Night Banquet" before, and "Night Banquet" set a precedent of continuous laughter in Chinese costume blockbusters, so he is not suitable for writing this kind of script!
In fact, each of the first nine screenwriters is not bad, and there are even famous mainland screenwriters such as Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine" and "To Live". Unfortunately, even such a famous screenwriter is not worthy of being in this movie. Name.

And what is the identity and background of Chen Han who overwhelmed Sheng Heyu, Taiwanese screenwriter and even Lu Wei?
Champion of Hong Kong Screenplay Competition.

In addition to "Red Cliff", his masterpieces include "Da Wu Tian Di Ci", "Confucius", "Zhong Kui Fu Mo: Snow Demon Spirit"

Evaluation: Not as good as a web author!
But in Wu Yusen's view, a celebrity like Lu Wei is no match for a champion.

Shen Xudong continued: "When Wu Yusen approached me, he asked: 'Add more scenes to Xiao Qiao, and told me that Lin Zhiling is very beautiful and can act...' But I think "Red Cliff" is a war between men. …so I declined the invitation…”

Zhang Guoli thought hard for a while, and then asked Cao Huayi next to him: "Add drama to Xiao Qiao? How?"

Cao Huayi was also...stuck, shaking his head: "I don't know..."

They definitely don't know that film and television workers in mainland China still have a sense of awe for masterpieces these days. "Three Kingdoms", if you dare to mess around, you will be written into the column of shame in the future.

Feng Xiaogang interjected: "Whatever he adds... Anyway, "Red Cliff" has nothing to do with us..."

"It has something to do with it. A so-called No.1 model who doesn't have any works, and a first-line actress like Zhao Yanzi will be the matchmaker for her. From now on, Lin Zhiling will become a superstar in the media..."

Cao Huayi didn't really want to talk about "Red Cliff", so he changed the subject: "...will your "The Fault in Our Stars" be released in China?"

"Of course it will be released, and it will be made into batches...preparing to be released in November..."

"Already sold the copyright?"

“…$20 sold to my own company…”

The number of imported films per year is limited: 20!
The Hollywood Six has already finished dividing up the quota, "The Fault in Our Stars" can only be made into batches, and it will be released on a cold schedule. Not surprisingly, it should have a box office of more than 500 million, and then it will make money!

After all, the copyright price is pitifully low...

Before "The Expendables" in 2010, the domestic copyright of general overseas movies was only 5 to 10 US dollars at most, and even Hollywood movies would not exceed 30 US dollars...

Belongs to Bonanza!
Cao Huayi has just established Xinli Media, and he probably has some ideas about the film market.

Thinking about introducing "The Fault in Our Stars", Shen Xudong ate meat, and he sipped soup...

Shen Xudong doesn't care about the domestic income of "The Fault in Our Stars", anyway, he is already preparing to produce "Send You A Little Red Flower", but Tianmei Media doesn't want to share the soup!
"Let's not talk about this, I heard that Jiang Wen has gone to Venice?"

"...Isn't it open yet?"

"Looks like I'm going to meet the filmmaker..."

The topic brought up Jiang Wen and the upcoming Venice Film Festival...

……

I'm a little surprised that this group of people didn't mention Shen Xudong's affairs in the United States, let alone say 'Old driver, take me'...

The topic was mainly about trivial matters in the circle, and even mentioned this year's National Day file.

Shen Xudong was so happy, lest he want to make an excuse to refuse.

While they were eating, the first wave of word-of-mouth for "Blockbuster" had already fermented—it was released at two o'clock in the afternoon.

'Fun movie' is almost the unanimous adjective in the media.

By the way, there is also 'A real guide to building blockbusters in the film industry...'

Netizens were more straightforward, "A group of so-called film artists, under the banner of cultural output, are doing business to steal money and camp women..."

'Absolutely, as soon as this movie comes out, I can see how those so-called great directors are still making money! '

"Easter eggs are so fun, especially when Ge You said in front of Chen Daoming that 'Chen Daoming is acting too much', Chen Daoming's reaction..."

Unlike Shen Xudong who had already gone to dinner, the publicity team of "Blockbuster" still had great box office expectations for "Blockbuster"!

They think that the bombardment of blockbuster movies in the past few years, especially after the three consecutive releases of "The Promise", "The Banquet", and "Golden Ru"...

Works that satirize so-called blockbuster creations are by no means niche!

There must be a lot of audience interest.

So, they have been keeping an eye on word-of-mouth, and of course they have done some rhythmic work-find some influential public figures to post good reviews and so on...

Word-of-mouth is indeed not bad, whether it is film critics or audiences, the evaluation of "Blockbuster" is very high.

Of course, after the movie is released, apart from word of mouth, what everyone cares most about is the box office...

The first feedback was Golden Harvest's attendance rate: 80%...

Huang Bin from the publicity department saw this data for the first time and couldn't believe it: "Are you sure? They didn't make false reports?"

"...Report it to your own people, there is no need to make a false report, and besides, even if you make a false report, the report will be less!"
