Chapter 405 Box Office Guarantee (Part 1)

Should it be "Reader" or "Story Club"? There is a story about Chen Chong's career in Hollywood. A Chinese agent told her to relax, don't be afraid of nudity, don't be afraid of filming passionate scenes, look at Ingrid. Bergman, being in Hollywood is not afraid of nudity, and he has become a proud national treasure of the Swedish people. You can do it too, I am optimistic about you.

That's nonsense, I've looked through all of Ingrid Bergman's movies and there's no nudity at all!

And in the United States in the 1950s, there was something called the Hays Code.

At the peak of Ingrid Bergman's career, the American film industry was still controlled by the Catholic Church and the Hays Code was introduced. It was very difficult to find nude scenes before the Hays Code was abolished!

Of course, it’s not that Ingrid Bergman has never done nude scenes, it’s just not on the big screen!

Also, don’t think about making money…

For a play priced at 600, if you only pay 500, you will definitely pay for it...

Anyway, a bunch of ‘American Dream Realization Plans’.

Chen Chongzhen makes people speechless. At first, he was diagnosed as infertile, and then he adopted a pair of twins. The funny thing is that when he first adopted twins, he even published a press release praising his great love.

Later, I had a biological child and gave it up for adoption...

Now, I still have the nerve to brag about being the winner in life!

Yes, even if you are successful, you can still make money in China with your qualifications...an absolute winner in life!

If you have the ability, just learn from Sun Haiying. She picks up trash in the United States and doesn't return home. This is called toughness!

Bringing it back, Gao Fenfen asked if there was a future. Shen Xudong thought about it and then said: "It's hard to say, this kind of play will cost at least 10 million US dollars!"

"10 million US dollars...how can it be so little?"

"Isn't that less?" Shen Xudong was speechless: ""Brokeback Mountain" only cost 1,300? Generally, the cost of movies used to compete for awards is not too high..."

"Okay, write it carefully, and with this money... I'll find a way!"

"...You have to think clearly, it will cost money to win the prize..."

Gao Fenfen waved his hand: "It's worth it to be nominated for an Oscar... Do you know what this means?"

"…up to you…"

…

Gao Fenfen sees hope, even if it is only 30% hope, she will try her best!

After all, Oscars are an unattainable dream for Chinese filmmakers at this stage...

Li Min won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and China’s fifth-generation directors collectively went crazy. A Mou’s “Hero” and “House of Flying Daggers”, the poetry master’s “The Promise”, and even Feng Xiaogang made “The Banquet” , all want to chew a bone from Oscar.

Zhang Ziyi was only nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, which attracted the carnival of all Chinese media. They generously packaged all the top praises for her, including but not limited to: making history, being the world's number one Chinese female star, etc. of…

By the way, Michelle Yeoh won the Oscar for Best Actress and was laughed to death by Yang Zi's trolls - congratulations to Michelle Yeoh for winning the Oscar for Best Actress...

Convinced!

These trolls probably capture keywords and then write them with AI...

Today’s navy is not professional at all!

Ahem...

In fact, I was mainly shocked by Shen Xudong's statement that the cost was US$10 million - not much!

If it were $100 million, she felt she could afford it.

As for winning prizes…

How much money can I spend to win a prize?

…

After "The Aviator" was released, the audience's evaluation was very good. The key words were "romantic", "smooth narrative", and "Huang Bo is really fun"...

Even those who gave negative reviews said, 'The male protagonist is really ugly' or 'It's different from the original work'...

There is no such thing as "exaggerated and pretentious"!

Exaggerated overseas Chinese sentiments are mostly the audience's evaluation of domestic literary and artistic films - such films are usually shot by newcomers without the support of a professional team. On the one hand, they lack money and technology, and on the other hand, they lack life experience and life experience. Most of the experiences They all come from novels or social news, or they express sorrow in order to compose new words, and they are expressive and expressive. Naturally, they have the "student tone" that the audience is most afraid of. They are not down to earth, exaggerated and pretentious. They are not only "empty" but also "fake" .

"The Aviator" is very good...

As for the first-day box office...

Although Shen Xudong boasts that "The Aviator" has a box office of 20 million, he actually has no bottom. After all, the market in September is too cold...

Then, the first-day results came out: 2.6 million!

This result…

It's really great.

You must know that the cast of "The Aviator" is very weak...

Shen Xudong wrote in his blog as usual, "The Aviator" scored 2.6 million on the first day... I was quite surprised. After all, it is an established rule that award-winning movies are not blockbusters... In addition, I recommend everyone to watch "Waiting Alone". A very good urban romance film...'

Why do you recommend "Waiting Alone"?

It's purely because he likes it!

This time, I didn’t reply to the netizen’s question. I rushed to pick up the two directors and two starring actors of "The Aviator"...

Their trip to Toronto directly brought in $1.8 million in copyrights...

…

"...South American copyright? In South America, only Argentina and Brazil have film producers, right?"

"Mexico and Chile both like Chinese-language movies, but they prefer action movies!"

The person in charge of selling films is Yang Tao, who was hired by Gao Fenfen with a salary. He previously worked at Haitui Company, a company that specializes in promoting Chinese films and organizes Chinese film festivals around the world...

"…Then the US$1.2 million for the North American rights is not at a loss?"

“Before I won the prize, US$120 was considered a reasonable price, but who knew I would win?”

Chen Xi thought about it and nodded: "...too..."

In the car, they mainly chatted, and Shen Xudong mainly talked with Zhou Shen and Liu Lu about the screening of the Chinese drama.

Both of them are very excited - they just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama last year and will share their works with them this year.

What is this called?

Return home with honor!

Shen Xudong said casually: "You two should change "If I Was Not Me" in your next movie..."

"If I Wasn't Me" is "Half Comedy"...

It is considered a very realistic comedy. It has a good reputation, but it is not a hit. From Shen Xudong's point of view, if "Half Comedy" is accompanied by good publicity, it will not be a big hit, and it will not be a big problem to get a box office of 20 million!

It just so happens that the Huang Expo will explode next year...

Pull a movie...

Then Zhou Shen shook his head: "... Xudong, we are very grateful to you, but... we have realized the shortcomings in this filming, and we are going to settle down for two years before directing a movie again!"

"precipitation?"

Shen Xudong was a little speechless and confused. The most important thing in making a movie is to accumulate experience...

It's just like a bunch of people bragging about Brother Hu acting in a drama. Has his acting skills improved since he acted in a drama?

Yes, but not obvious!

Modern dramas are still crappy. Besides, dramas are not more noble than TV dramas, so why should we treat TV dramas like that?

He became famous because of "Nirvana in Fire", not because of the drama!

——"Sword of Immortal" became a big hit, and it can be considered as the first generation of traffic. "Nirvana in Fire" successfully transformed. Does this thing have anything to do with the drama?

However, Shen Xudong didn't bother to persuade him, everyone has his own ambitions!
