At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 711 Blame me?
"Blockbuster" is also released overseas, basically in Southeast Asia. Golden Harvest tried to release it, and the box office was not so good...

It can be said that 95% of the income is in the country!
After all, this work is too localized...

Thanks to "Red Cliff", once it was released, it directly opened up the popularity of "Big Movie". According to Golden Harvest's data, in the first week of "Red Cliff"'s release, the disc rental and sales data of "Big Movie" in Southeast Asia soared by 1000%...

Well, that's ten times as much.

Mainly, the previous base is too small...

It seems that last year's rental and sales data has not reached 80 US dollars, and last month it was only 5 US dollars. As soon as "Red Cliff" was released, it immediately pulled up the disc data of "Blockbuster". In just three days, this Figures jumped to $50…

For this reason, Golden Harvest's Zhong Lifang specially 'thanks' director Wu Yusen and the crew of "Red Cliff" at the premiere of "Underwear Girl"...

Oh, "Underwear Girl" is a light comedy produced by Golden Harvest, the scale is quite large, full of sexual openness...

But it's just fluff, not a tertiary movie...

The cost is very low, 400 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly for the local market in Hong Kong.

"Exquisite Ancient City" has been released in Hong Kong for 20 days, and it has won a box office of 2200 million Hong Kong dollars. Today, there are only 3 theaters left, so it is time to release a new film...

Oh, the first three days of "Red Cliff" had a cumulative box office of 8400 million. In Hong Kong, "Red Cliff" had a box office of over 200 million Hong Kong dollars on its premiere day, and a box office of 314 million Hong Kong dollars on Sunday. It became Hong Kong's box office champion last week after 3 days of release. Has reached 859 million Hong Kong dollars;
In Taiwan, "Red Cliff" earned an estimated $187 million at the box office.

After its release in Singapore, "Red Cliff" also performed well, with a box office of US$62.5 in its first weekend, which surpassed the box office of "Everybody's Superman".

It grossed more than $1800 million across Asia in its opening weekend.

very fierce.

The box office performance of "Red Cliff" is more due to the subject matter and the audience's psychological expectations, and the trust in the director accumulated from films such as "A Hero" and "Face Changing".

This is called the market balance effect!

Also known as word-of-mouth cashing.

The market is very fair. Your previous film had a good reputation, but due to various reasons—such as insufficient number of screens, the box office was poor. Then when the market expands and you release a new film, the audience will return it!

Just like Ning Hao, the box office of "Blooming Hearts" is mainly to make up for what has been lost and missed in the past few years.

"Red Cliff" can also be regarded as a kind of encouragement from the market to Wu Yusen in the past few years...

It's a pity that "Blockbuster" has too much influence!
In other words, the sailors hired by Tianmei are all-pervasive. During the publicity of "Red Cliff", almost all the staff on site were asked the question of 'Cao Cao went south to rush to the crown and become a beauty'...

Zhang Fengyi replied: "This is a movie, not history! From a movie point of view, such changes are more entertaining...

Our mainland directors and audiences like to respect history, but they are often easily framed by history.Hong Kong directors are different. He feels that history serves the characters, and the characters serve the actors.Everything is centered on the performance of the actors, and they can do whatever they need to do. "

You Yong, who played Liu Bei, said: "The mainland has always had a more orthodox appreciation habit for movies, so it is impossible for the mainland to have movies like Zhou Xingchi spoofing Journey to the West. I started to accept that people like "Wulin Biography" also like to watch it, so I think this style of film is also needed to impact the mainland film market."

Wu Yusen probably recovered - the box office wasn't bad anyway, and he replied: "The mainland screenwriters don't have romantic feelings, how romantic it is to go from being angry at the top to being a beauty!"

Well, he thinks his Red Cliff is romantic...

By the way, after the release of "Red Cliff", the box office of the third weekend of "Exquisite Ancient City" was 1600 million, and the cumulative box office was 3.47 million...

……

After the premiere of "Red Cliff", Shen Xudong has not made any public appearances, nor expressed his views on "Red Cliff"...

Many netizens are quite disappointed that they didn't tear up?
Shen Xudong is busy visiting the class "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom"...

In fact, many people are not optimistic about "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", the martial arts film director Xu Ke filmed the theme of G life?
"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", one of the eight model plays!

However, Shen Xudong has full confidence in Xu Ke - he knows that Xu Ke's version of "Taking Tiger Mountain Outwitted" is great.

Therefore, "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" is also a project he advocates.

"If you want to fight with wisdom, you have to fight with wisdom, and if you want to fight with martial arts, you have to fight with martial arts. The vast forest, sea and snowfield... the artistic conception is more artistic, and it does not violate the main theme. Such a good subject can be used for suspense, martial arts, and snowboarding. Road movies... can be made into a red war theme to educate primary and middle school students... definitely won't lose money!"

Of course, after the director Xu Ke was announced, starring Jackie Chan and Ni Dahong, many investors rushed over...

Not for anything else, just to star Jackie Chan!

Jackie Chan has been really awesome in recent years.

Of course, Shen Xudong knew that after the Boao Forum next year, his reputation would officially fall into a low ebb...

That's why Shen Xudong wants to guarantee that "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" will be released during the Spring Festival next year!

Xu Ke has never lost in efficiency.

Back then, in order to catch up with the schedule, Hu Jinquan was directly expelled, and he formed a team to shoot "New Dragon Inn"...

After all, if you can't make it to the schedule, the boss will be forced to refund the money by the overseas film studio, and the boss will be refunded... You can imagine how they will be treated when they work!

Of course, Shen Xudong would not be like this.

So, he came to supervise in person!
……

Shi Nansheng is the producer of "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", and she admires Shen Xudong a lot.

At the age of 24, he started from scratch and is worth over 20 billion.

The key is that his judgment on the film market is too precise.

She is more knowledgeable than most of the bosses she has known before...

The key point is that he seldom intervenes in the shooting - except during the pre-production period, he will make a general request, and fully respect the director at other times...

Shen Xudong came to "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" to visit the set, mainly to see the progress...

Fortunately, the scene in Xuexiang has come to an end—the filming took place in Mudanjiang Xuexiang for five months!

The main reason is the temperature, more than 30 degrees below zero, the equipment can't bear it, and I can only shoot three or four hours a day...

Cameras are very expensive, high and low temperatures are unbearable!
- The battery is the most affected component by temperature changes.A 10°C (18°F) drop in temperature can drain the battery by more than half...the damage is permanent!

Fortunately, I survived...

Now I mainly shoot indoor scenes, which are shot at the Huairou film and television base.

Shen Xudong spends most of his time watching Xu Ke filming, never interfering...

"I heard from them that "Red Cliff" has become a laughing stock?"

"It's not that exaggerated...the box office is quite a hit!"

"... Someone said you were targeting Wu Yusen?"

"I targeted him? What qualifications does he have for me to target? Is he Li Amine? Has he won an Oscar?"
