In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 335 Why Are You so Idle? (33)

The two of them were in the airport terminal. Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai who was texting Chang Xiaoxiang and couldn't help but said: "Boss, I feel that you are different now than before?"

"...Greasy?"

"Yes, yes!" Shen Xudong nodded quickly, and then felt that something was wrong: "How did you know that the word you existed?"

Zhao Linhai: "Didn't you teach me that the most disgusting sign of a man is that he becomes greasy!"

"...You know you are greasy, so change it quickly!"

"If you stayed in the publishing department for three months, you would become like me!"

"Our company also has a distribution department?"

"My sister organized it, and she specifically asked me to come over and help keep an eye on it..."

"Then you're complicit?"

Zhao Linhai shook his head: "I didn't..."

"real?"

Shen Xudong expressed doubts. If not, how could he say something like "sponsoring a beauty pageant or a model competition"?

Only the veterans in the industry understand this stuff!

Beauty pageants have existed since ancient times. They first existed widely in the palace, both in the East and the West.

In ancient times, the selection of concubines by emperors was the most grand beauty pageant in the country. At this time, no matter where you were born, you had the opportunity to rise to the top.

There was also a folk beauty pageant at that time for prostitutes, called the "Flower Appraisal Party", where the oiran was selected!

In modern times, the most famous one should be the Miss Hong Kong selection...

Many of the celebrities we are familiar with entered the entertainment industry through Miss Hong Kong as a springboard, including Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, Michelle Reis... and Charmaine Sheh!

The way this thing is played in the Mainland has changed...

Various sex scandals…

Zhao Linhai told the truth: "Actually, they told me. I just thought Boss Chen was interesting, so I casually gave him a suggestion..."

"...Don't go to the distribution department anymore... As a screenwriter, don't make yourself so philistine!"

Zhao Linhai smiled: "I have been transferred back to the screenwriting team, and I am in charge of the screenwriting of "Happy Heroes"!"

Shen Xudong quickly thanked: "...Thank you, boss!"

"Happy Hero", Shen Xudong didn't think of any good ideas, so he simply stopped taking it and only made "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...

If he didn't do it, the company had already taken over the project, and Zhao Linhai came over to clean up the mess.

Zhao Linhai waved his hand and changed the topic: "..."Happy Heroes" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword"...I don't think these two scripts can get high ratings!"

"...CCTV broadcasts, there is a lower limit..."

I'm afraid it will ruin the ratings base!

In the original time and space, the ratings of "Meteor Butterfly Sword" were 0.62%...

This rating is not very high!

Thinking of this, Shen Xudong simply said: "Let's do this. If they have any objections after it is broadcast, I will help them write a book with high ratings!"

"...Okay, let's go, the time is up, let's board the plane!"

Zhao Linhai never doubted Shen Xudong's words...

Since he said he would write a book with high ratings, it must be high ratings!

In the beginning, we had eight major film studios, which were used to produce feature films for distribution across the country.

Later, each province had its own studio, such as Nanjing Film Studio, Lanzhou Film Studio, etc. These studios were basically established in the later period of Wen Ge. They were mainly used for political propaganda. was not used to produce feature films for national distribution. Later, it was reformed and could be produced!

The most typical one is Guangxi Film Studio, which can be said to be the benefactor of the fifth generation - "One and Eight" and "Yellow Earth" are both produced by Guangxi Film Studio!

Although it is a provincial-level studio, it still covers everything from production to distribution, one-stop...

This has brought about a consequence: local protection is extremely serious!

That is to say, it is now market-oriented. In the 1990s, let alone Shen Xudong, it was difficult for movies produced by BJ Film Studio to sell copies in the south!

Ranking of Sichuan Cinemas, Pacific Cinemas ranks first.

Shen Xudong came here mainly to express his gratitude.

"The Fox Wife" had a national box office of 41.8 million, of which Sichuan Pacific Cinemas contributed 5.6 million, ranking third, second only to New Film Alliance and Shanghai United Cinemas...

It may also be that this film is more in line with the tastes of Pacific Cinema audiences!

But no matter what, "Legend of the Hunters of Xing'an Mountains" will definitely rely on Pacific Cinema to schedule more films!

After going out for a walk, I returned to Shanghai. "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" had been released for two days.

With the background of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" and a publicity fund of 8 million, on April 1st, the box office of "Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" reached 12.6 million on the first day, and the box office in two days exceeded 25 million!

The effect is not bad…

But the reputation... is a little worse than "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" - the four stories of "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter" cannot be blended together smoothly.

And...the suspense effect in the second half is a bit awkward...

But the box office is actually better!

Shen Xudong didn't understand, so he returned to Shanghai and ran a few road shows with Yang Xiaomi without affecting his movie promotion:

"It's divided into three parts: evil talk, lovesickness and cause and effect, which disrupts the narrative..."

"Studying "Pulp Fiction"? No, I just want to cram in three impressive legendary stories..."

"Many times, you have to consider censorship. Horror films cannot produce excellent works in the current domestic environment. Under the shackles of policies, folk anecdotes cannot appear on the screen, and various supernatural legends cannot make your hair stand on end... So, I The background of the story must be set in the Republic of China, and the second master must directly deny the existence of ghosts and ghosts, and confirm the evil side of people's hearts, and turn gods and ghosts into natural things."

"Thank you for your support..."

Road show promotions are basically all about talking on the road, because the questions asked by the media, reporters and audiences are similar.

After struggling all afternoon, we set off for Wuhan.

Shen Xudong slept all the way and didn't wake up until he arrived at the hotel.

He got out of the car and prepared to eat something. Then he noticed Yang, a fan who was following him, and patted her: "Xiao Mi...what are you thinking about?"

Yang Xiaomi was a little afraid of him and hurriedly took a step back: "Ah...it's nothing...should we go eat?"

“…”

Because of what happened last time?

Isn't that not enough time, and the location is not suitable...

Plus I drank some wine and did some outrageous things!

Changing the subject: "Why are you and the director the only ones doing this promotion? Where is Brother Hu?"

"I heard from Lao Cai that Lao Hu and the others had to rehearse a play and couldn't ask for leave..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "What kind of shabby school? Can't you even take time off to promote a movie? He is a junior this year, right?"

"...Well, it should be!"

"We won the drama, and we no longer have to stay in school during our junior year. It's so awesome to be in the drama that people are speechless!"

Yang Xiaomi nodded: "We can start filming in our freshman year at Beidian!"

"I know!"

"…you know?"

"I went to your school to choose a role..."

It's true. The school spirit of China National Theater Academy is very strict. It is stipulated that you are not allowed to go out to take plays before your junior year.

Nortel is much more relaxed and attaches great importance to the current development of students. It not only encourages them to take roles, but also formulates an acting profile for each person and writes their resume clearly to facilitate the crew's selection.

When "The Great Butler" went to Nortel to cast actors, Shen Xudong chose two: Zhu Awen and Lu Fangsheng...

"Are you coming to our school to cast?"

"Yes...that's when I saw your photo, so..."

"So, it was you who recommended me to join these two dramas?"

"…I can understand it that way!"

Yang Xiaomi nodded thoughtfully: "...Then I forgive you!"

It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I’ll try to add more…

Starting at the fifth update!
