At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 716 Proposals
Famen Temple password, very familiar...

Belongs to one of Xu Ke's backlog projects.

In the original time and space, there was a period of time when famous Hong Kong directors were absent from the mainland...

Hong Kong directors are known for their "fast work".

After such a long time since no works were released, could it be that they are all backlogged?

Many people investigated and found that Zhou Xingchi's "Mermaid 2" was completed in 2018, and it has not been released?

The reason is very simple. It is said that the internal test screening has a bad reputation, and there is no way to find anyone who is willing to take over and distribute it. The management is afraid of blood loss...

As for "Kung Fu 2", I'm sorry, the copyright of "Kung Fu" belongs to Columbia, you Stephen Chow dare to bypass Columbia to shoot the sequel of "Kung Fu"?
Pulling it back, Xu Ke also painted a lot of "cakes", and all of them are IPs, including "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "The Nine Serene Generals of Mojin Xiaowei", "The Prelude to Taking the Tiger Mountain by Outsmart", "The Code of Famen Temple" wait.

This can't be blamed on old man Xu, after all, the employer he worked with before was Leshi, and after the collapse of Leshi, he got on good terms with Bona again...

"The Code of Famen Temple" seems to be a pancake for viewing...

Shen Xudong is not very interested in this movie - he has read the original book, which mainly tells about the world of warlocks...

Regarding the warlock movie, Xu Ke later partnered with Yuan Heping to make "Qimen Dunjia", and that movie was a mess!
Let’s not talk about the plot, just talk about the special effects. The art aesthetics of "Qi Men Dun Jia" is vividly displayed in "Qi Men Dun Jia"... It's a blockbuster with oriental special effects, and all the monsters are Western monsters?
Don't you look awkward?

Sometimes I really can't figure it out Xu Ke, what about the aesthetics of "A Chinese Ghost Story" when you were young? What about the aesthetics of "Green Snake"?
Maybe it's old...

Therefore, Shen Xudong shook his head, and persuaded him: "First finish the work at hand... In addition to "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", there is also the "Di Renjie" series!"

"also…"

What did Ren Zhonglun think of: "Xudong is going to the United States next month?"

"Um…"

""See the Devil"? I heard that the cost is 6000 million US dollars, starring Christian Bale and Jack Nicholson?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, we originally planned to find Leonardo DiCaprio, but his asking price was too high, 2000 million US dollars + 20% of global revenue share...and also asked for 40% of the investment amount...that is equivalent to Our entire crew is working for him..."

"...how much does Christian Bale get paid?"

"The basic salary is 1200 million US dollars. If the North American box office exceeds 5 million, we will pay him 5% of the box office share. If the global box office exceeds [-] million US dollars, we will also pay him [-]% of the global share..."

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong simply finished speaking: "The North American box office has exceeded 1 million US dollars, and the share ratio has increased to 5000%, and 15.00 million is [-]%, which is also the highest share ratio.

In terms of overseas box office, the share ratio increases by 1% for every additional US$5.00 million, and the maximum does not exceed 15.00%. "

"Then...how much box office can it get?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Who knows, it's an R-rated movie after all..."

It can be said that the crew of "See the Devil" took a big advantage. When Christian Bale took over the filming of "See the Devil", "The Dark Knight" hadn't been released yet, and his popularity hadn't risen to the current level...

Now, if he accepts a film, especially a commercial film, at least 2000 million +...

He later filmed "Terminator 2018", the basic salary is 2900 million US dollars!
It's just the basic salary.

Ren Zhonglun was a little envious: "You are the only one who can make Hollywood superstars work..."

Shen Xudong glanced at him, and then suggested: "Does Shanghai Film have any idea to invest?"

"Forget it... It's not a good thing to be labeled as a loss of state-owned assets!"

Ren Zhonglun shook his head...

……

Well, at this stage, domestic film companies are still afraid to invest heavily.

In the original time and space, it should be 2016, the era when Chinese capital aggressively attacked Hollywood. Not only Wanda, Ali, Tencent, and LeTV were all throwing money, but China Film, Dianguang Media, and Chinese culture all invested...

It seems that Shanghai Film has also invested in Paramount, and it can find news of an investment of US$10 billion, but there is not much exposure under the influence of Wanda's high-profile acquisition of Legendary Pictures for US$35 billion.

In fact, in 2016, it is understandable that these Chinese capital invested in Hollywood in various ways-the import film agreement signed by China and the United States in 2012 will expire in 2017. He told the media that the share of imported films in China in 2017-2018 is very likely to be further liberalized, and even fully liberalized is not impossible...

At that time, Hollywood was still called the Hollywood Tiger, and any blockbuster movie started at 5 million box office, which was very fierce.

However, no one expected that it would be broken down like this later.

I really don't understand what these studios are thinking, "Transformers", a purely male-oriented commercial production.

There is not a single beautiful girl in the whole film!
The female character with the best looks is actually the Autobot Arcie in the Autobot team.

can you believe it
Male-oriented commercial blockbusters are actually very simple.

Either you pump my adrenaline.

Either you stimulate my hormones.

Find a female version of Jordan Peele to play the heroine, what do you want to do?

So eager to redefine Xiangche beauty?

……

""Exquisite Ancient City" will be released in North America, but I don't think the box office will be very good..."

"There won't be a new movie coming out next month?"

"Going on, at the end of the month there will be a "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown", starring Ge You + Huang Bo, directed by Feng Xiaogang..."

The celebration banquet was almost over, Gao Fenfen approached Shen Xudong and chatted about the upcoming movie.

"At the end of the month?"

"Olympics until August 8th..."

Gao Fenfen nodded, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't win the right to shoot the official film of the Olympic Games!"

"What's the point of documentaries... It's better to watch "Zhang Yimou's 2008"..."

The official film of the Olympic Games is called "Eternal Flame", which focuses on all athletes. It is actually a documentary...

The director is Gu Yun, the director of the documentary "Building Dreams 2008"...

Gao Fenfen changed the subject: "Next year is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

Chinese people pay attention to celebrating birthdays every 'ten', especially for a country, the [-]th anniversary must be celebrated...

Should the filmmakers also make a few gift films?

Shen Xudong asked suspiciously: "Don't we have "The Wind"?"

"The theme of "The Wind" is not enough...Be more festive..."

Shen Xudong suddenly thought of a movie, and then said: "...then find a hundred or so stars, assemble an all-star lineup, and shoot "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", and the stars celebrate the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China..."

Gao Fenfen immediately became interested: "The "Night Banquet" kind?"

"That's right... Let me tell you that if this kind of theme is to be successful, you have to hit the stars, even if it's just a line, you have to let the stars play, and it must be a first-line big name..."

"No way... How do you calculate the salary for so many celebrities?"

"They are all presents for the motherland's mother's birthday. How can there be children who need their mother to pay for the film? I asked you to act to save face!"

Gao Fenfen hesitated: "It's not enough for such a big project to be operated by our company alone?"

"Our family is definitely not enough," Shen Xudong thought for a while, and suggested: "Then get BJ TV, Shanghai Film... just report to the Film Bureau, let the Film Bureau take the lead, and we will be in charge of the production!"

"Stop cooperating with China Film?"

"No, invite them to come over tonight, and they don't show up. It's clear that they want to draw a line with us!"
