In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 1130 The Audience Is so Innocent (Part 1)

Xudong and Yang Xiaomi had dinner together...

On the way, Huo Jianhua, Jackie Chan and Qi Jianhong all came over to say hello.

Shen Xudong didn't pay much attention to Huo Jianhua...

Just a simple hello - Shen Xudong is unlikely to ask Huo Jianhua to act!

Huo Jianhua's ability to earn the title of "old actor" is all due to his two managers:

Lian Junjie - his high school classmate.

Yu Hong—his agent on the mainland.

Lian Junjie knows him too well. Huo Jianhua was on a Taiwan talk show in his early years. Haha, the host could bring out his dark history in just two or three sentences.

How do you say this?

What sounds good is called honesty, but what sounds bad is called being stubborn.

But he is an idol!

Therefore, after moving to mainland China, Lian Junjie learned a lesson and tried to minimize his exposure except for filming.

It would be better not to say anything if it makes too many mistakes.

Very smart approach.

Lian Junjie really treats Huo Jianhua attentively, because as an agent, the more exposure an artist has, the greater the profit.

He controlled Huo Jianhua's exposure, which actually harmed his own interests, but it was good for Huo Jianhua himself.

Then the two had a conflict, and the second manager was replaced by Yu Hong, who was also very good. Huo Jianhua, nursery rhyme's manager, had average acting skills, so she took on more cold-faced roles.

At the same time, she will help artists get some work to earn reputation.

We also sorted out the personalities of veteran cadres based on Huo Jianhua's situation, and speculated on CP with Hu Ge.

After leaving Huo Jianhua, several artists under her have developed well.

On the other hand, after Huo Jianhua got married, both of them left, and then the resources started to become strange.

It's probably because the pay is high and the filming is unorganized, and it's not suitable for him.

In fact, just looking at the actors of Huo Jianhua's age group, especially those from Taiwan, there are not many actors who have been popular in the past and are still a little popular now!

It is normal for an actor of his age to be confused if he does not have a sufficiently outstanding masterpiece or a well-deserved heavyweight award...

Taiwanese actors who are about the same age as him, such as Zhou Yimin, Yan Chengxu, Ming Dao, Wu Jianhao, Ethan Ruan, Peng Yuyan, etc. are in a very similar situation to him.

Peng Yuyan is in the best situation because of the resources in Hong Kong. Others... are all confused to varying degrees!

Especially Yan Chengxu, who participated in "Breaking Through the Troubles" and was completely exposed - it turns out that there is a reason for depression and lack of confidence, but he just has no strength: his singing breath has not been stable for 20 years, and he is useless in both singing and dancing!

Well, this show perfectly explained why sister Zhiling broke up with him.

Back to the subject, there are quite a few scripts suitable for Huo Jianhua's age group, but there are also many capable and appealing actors around his age, such as Zhang Yi, Fu Dalong, Qin Hao, and Lei Jiayin. It's hard to find them. Better?

He is also stronger than him. No matter how many rounds he takes, he will never get a good script, not to mention that he still has a flaw in his accent!

Shen Xudong asked Yang Xiaomi: "How is your relationship with Qi Jianhong?"

"It's not bad...I might have to act in "The Wonderful Story of Agelessness"..."

Yesterday, Sparkle Roll also held a film release conference and announced eight film projects, including "Balloon", "The Wonder of Agelessness", "Moer Daoga", "Tunnel War", "Dunhuang Heroes" and "Make a Wish" The two animations "Shenlong" and "Kitchen Lord"...

"…"The Strange Thing of Agelessness"?"

"Screenwriter Wang Shuo..." Shen Xudong was a little surprised: "Original movie?"

"Yes~"

"I thought it was a remake of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"..."

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? What is that?"

Shen Xudong was surprised: "You haven't seen "The Return of Youth," starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and directed by David Fincher?"

Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes at him: "You said "Return to Youth" and I knew it!"

"... Yaolai is the major shareholder of BJ Cultural Investment Holdings, and it is quite popular now. However, don't put all your eggs in the same basket. You are a big star..."

Yang Xiaomi interrupted him and changed the subject: "Did Liu Yifei be hired for the sequel of "Total War"?"

"…right."

"Did you sleep with her?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...Does it have anything to do with you?"

Yang Xiaomi kept staring at him until Shen Xudong got angry, and she immediately asked: "What does it feel like?"

"What's wrong? Do you still want to feel it in the future?"

Yang Xiaomi was very excited: "No, I'm just curious... tell me more specifically..."

"What's there to say? If you want to feel it, you can either witness it with your own eyes or practice it yourself..." Shen Xudong raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise, next time I ask her out, you will come with me?"

Yang Xiaomi subconsciously prepared to refuse, but then noticed Shen Xudong's expression, she quickly changed her mind and said provocatively: "I have no objection, can you handle her?"

Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and said insincerely: "It depends on people..."

"Then come on!"

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"I have three more interviews later... probably until the early morning, you..."

Shen Xudong shook his head decisively: "Forget it... I just finished shooting. I need to adjust my schedule and can't stay up late..."

The next morning, the second forum began with the theme "Chinese Films Need Craftsmanship".

Zhang Hongsen spoke now and gave a general direction. Similar to the Chinese film industry facing new challenges and tasks in the new situation, the first priority is to focus on the quality and level of film production and embody the "craftsman spirit" of films.

And the problems encountered: Faced with investors' eagerness for quick success and the general impetuous mentality of practitioners, using "craftsman spirit" to carefully craft a film often encounters market difficulties...

Chen Kexin spoke first: "In fact, many times, film teams spend two or three years seriously making a movie, but the fate of the movie depends on the luck of one or two days after it is released...

Factors that affect the fate of a movie include the mentality of the audience at the time, social issues, weather, emotions, opponents, whether the opponent is trying to hack you, etc.

If there is any one factor or multiple factors that lead to poor box office performance on the first and second days, the movie will soon be unscheduled in theaters. "

"I'm very grateful to PPTV. He bought out "Jiang Yuan Nang Husband Murder Case" and "Animal World"..."

"So, I think the big screen may not be the best choice. Originally, I thought that as the number of screens increases, the types of movies will become richer, but this is not the case - the more screens, the more types of movies can survive in theaters. On the contrary, there are fewer and even concentrated into a few categories..."

"One of the consequences of this situation is that the current capital and market will coerce filmmakers to make movies based on so-called big data, forcing filmmakers to make movies that can maximize profits, leading to more and more homogeneous movies in the market. It’s like a vicious cycle…”

"We hate movie theaters, movie schedules, and theater chains. We think they don't give them a chance, so years of hard work are gone in one day. But in fact, theaters and theater chains also have operating costs, and they also have real estate and salary kidnappings. The kidnapping of distribution and so on means that cinemas must try their best to keep the seats full from morning to night. This is the reality that filmmakers have to face!"

Chen Kexin changed the subject: "Is there a better channel? Let me take "July and Ansheng" as an example. This movie has a box office of nearly 170 million in theaters and about 4 million viewers. But on the Internet, the person in charge of PPTV told I, its on-demand audience reached 60 million in one week, I think the Internet may be a way out."

"Young audiences actually grew up on the Internet. As long as there is good content and a screen as small as a mobile phone, they will still watch it with full concentration. I think the online platform can really divert movies and audiences, because online viewing is very important to the audience. Say, it doesn’t need to be expensive…”
