Chapter 464 I Definitely Support Han Han

Chapter 464 I definitely support Han Han...

The company, Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi are having a meeting...

The theme is simple: Regarding the release of "The Detective of the Republic of China", Chen Hao is also on the front line.

The two are actually the same thing - once "The Detective of the Republic of China" succeeds at the box office, Chen Hao will be an absolute star!

Let’s talk about distribution first. Currently, the company has signed distribution contracts with 26 theater chains across the country, all of which are mainstream theater chains, including the top ten.

"It still depends on the market feedback. "Looks Beautiful", Zhang Yuan + Wang Shuo, did not reach 1 million in the first three days...the theaters simply canceled it!"

Excerpt from a press release: "Looking Beautiful" has been in theaters in Nanjing for three days. The box office was dismal and no one applauded it. The scene where Wang Shuo raised his arms and responded with a crowd of people can only remain in the memory. Wang Shuo's era has passed...

"...I heard that Enlight Media has developed a local promotion model. Should we take it as a reference?"

"...E-Line doesn't have any influential directors or actors, so when they enter film distribution, they have to do local marketing. We don't need it. The screenwriter Shen Xudong's name is enough to give these theaters enough pomp on the first day... What's more, now In April, the theater was very deserted..."

The head of the distribution department is Cheng Yang, who used to work for China Film Group Corporation and was hired by Gao Fenfen to be in charge of film distribution. He interjected: "The company's box office expectation for "The Detective" is about 20 million... I'm not pouring cold water on it, it's quite difficult. This year's market situation It’s quite cold!”

"...The box office of those horror movies has shrunk by one-third..."

"Everyone is waiting to buy the CD...and pirated copies are coming out so fast!"

“If you don’t buy the CD, now you just go online and watch pirated copies!”

“So we need to control piracy!”

"...Then we can only learn from Zhang Weiping..."

"Well, guard against it for a week!"

Learning from Zhang Weiping is Zhang Weiping's anti-piracy method: theaters are distributed locally, and each theater employs two to three college students to keep an eye on people piracy!

"The most important thing is that no copies are circulated..."

"Don't worry, for the 350 copies, in addition to hiring specialized inspectors, we also hired local trained inspectors to ensure that not a single copy goes to the hands of pirate dealers."

"Um…"

It’s like this. In March and early April, two folklore-themed horror films, “Yin Yang Town Ghost Story” and “Fengtian White House” were released. Shen Xudong was credited as the producer - not even a screenwriter;

Tianmei and Tang Ren were responsible for the production, with costs of 4 million and 5 million respectively. The former earned 29 million at the box office, while the latter earned 27 million...

Compared with last year's "The Fox Wife" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter", the box office was a bit lower, but fortunately the profits were considerable - US$4 million was recovered from the sale of copyrights in Southeast Asia and South Korea!

Why has the domestic box office dropped so much?

Are the audience tired of watching it?

Maybe it’s on one hand, but on the other hand, piracy appears too fast!

And it’s a high-definition pirated version!

It leaked out on the day it was released.

If there is a pirated version to watch, who will enter the theater?

The distribution matter was almost settled. At the end, Gao Fenfen added: "In addition, if Xudong comes back, arrange a few more promotional activities for him... Even a trip to Hong Kong can spread scandals!"

"...He said it was just a meeting and a meal...The Hong Kong media reported nonsense..."

"Whether it's a false report or not, is that Gillian on the front page? Why doesn't she have a scandal with our artist?"

Okay, what Gao Fenfen is unhappy about is this...

If you don't want the money to go to outsiders, why don't you spread scandals with other female artists in the company!

Shen Xudong is convinced...

This group of media is always concerned about other people's emotional lives.

Is there nothing else you can ask?

"Wulin Gaiden" is an online game developed in conjunction with Zulong Studio and handed over to Perfect World for operation. Don't you know how to ask about such a big thing?

——Invest 20 million!

In addition, we authorize animations, stage plays, comic books, and novel versions...

This is IP development.

You can also ask him what kind of work he discussed in Hong Kong, or even look forward to the Cannes trip for "Carol"...

But no matter what, they all caught up with the fictitious news about "Shen Xudong and Gillian's relationship" and asked them blindly.

"...really just ordinary friends, I have no intention of falling in love..."

"A photo of us holding hands? I just shielded her behind me... We finished dinner and were about to go shopping, and then paparazzi suddenly appeared... I instinctively shielded her behind me..."

After explaining for more than ten minutes, Shen Xudong felt that it was almost done. Then the reporters asked about the dispute between Han and Bai...

The conflict between Korea and Bai is a major event in the literary world recently...

Bai Ye pretended to say that 'things written by people born in the 1980s are not considered literature' and 'the literary world is still unfamiliar with these star authors'...

It is estimated that Han Han's fans sent him the link, and then Han Han directly replied, "The literary world is nothing, no one should pretend to be awesome"...

Both sides exchanged insults!

A bunch of people joined…

Shen Xudong nodded: "My fans also forwarded Bai Ye's article to me. In fact, under normal circumstances, I am too lazy to read the articles of these critics..."

"Why?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "Everyone who has read the history of literature knows that sometimes a chapter over hundreds of years only mentions a few people. We are now in an era of one or two sentences in the history of literature... Some people don't need to pay attention to it!"

"Han Han said, 'The literary world is nothing, no one should be pretentious.' Do you think that's right?"

"Yes…"

Shen Xudong responded simply and seriously: "The current situation of Chinese literature is: the Writers Association controls the literary world, the works are not very new, some even repeat themselves, and traditional journals can no longer discover popular young writers as they did before.

Various literary awards have become the self-entertainment of a few people. Chinese literature is out of touch with the development of reality. Countryside and rural areas are still the mainstream, as if only those are worth writing about. When the vision of mainstream literature is limited to a few things in rural areas, everyone knows that the whole world Continuously developing in ways that are completely incomprehensible to them... they are already behind the times!

Pure literature is pretentious and noble, popular literature tends to be vulgar, countless lucky people are struggling to maintain their reputation, and truly good works are lost in the sea, and no one cares about them, which greatly discourages the enthusiasm for creation..."

"What exactly is the Chinese literary world? Bai Ye narrowly imagines the literary world as an organization similar to a rich man's club, rejecting people outside the circle, thinking that the articles written by people outside the circle are nothing, and showing inexplicable confusion in front of outsiders The sense of nobility…pretentiousness is the best way to describe it!”

"Although I haven't spoken out about this matter, I definitely support Han Han..."

"Do you think you are a member of the literary world?"

Shen Xudong shrugged: "According to Bai Ye's standards, I definitely don't count. After all, my writing has never been published in a literary magazine... In addition, my works have not been published by him, so I definitely don't count as one of theirs. Their people are not people in the literary world!"

"...Do you have any new works to publish?"

"Movie or novel?"

"…novel…"

"There is a collection of novels "Bu Que Lu", which corresponds to the first "Supplementary Records"... It should be published in June..."

"What about the movie?"

""The Detective of the Republic of China"..." After thinking about it, Shen Xudong added: "By the way, the source of inspiration for this work was also told to me by a writer born in the 1980s... who does not belong to the literary world!"

"Can you tell me something?"

"Zhang Muye, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"..."
