Chapter 485 Recruitment Order?
Only with publicity and support from theaters can a movie with high box office be born.
This is the consensus!
In fact, the viewing party held before the movie is released is for theaters to watch, so that they have a psychological expectation...
An experienced theater manager will basically be able to draw a conclusion after watching the movie once, and then combining the lineup and publicity efforts!
The only thing missing about "Stone" is the lineup...
And dialects!
In the original time and space, Gao Jun publicly said, "The success of dialect comedy is absolutely accidental. This kind of success cannot be copied. Ning Hao's next movie "Crazy Racing" has a large investment. If he still doesn't use stars and sticks to dialects, Then the market prospects will definitely not be good. ’
Then…
"Crazy Racing" is still in dialect, with a box office of over 100 million!
It’s really what Shen Xudong said, ‘In the Internet era, a high-quality comedy will spread as quickly as possible. If piracy is controlled well, the box office will bring surprises! ’
Gao Jun, Wu Hehu, and Zhao Jun each control the top five theater chains in the country - New Film Alliance, Shanghai United Cinemas, China Film Southern Shinkansen...
The Stone needs their support.
"Three bosses, we have made an agreement. If the box office of "Stone" can really exceed 100 million, I hope the three of you can promise me one more thing."
"you say."
Shen Xudong Tuqingqing said: "For the works that I will supervise and produce in the future, I can be scheduled for three days, even if they are released at the same time as blockbusters..."
Gao Jun looked at his two old friends, and then said: "... Your condition is not specific..."
Shen Xudong was honest: "I don't ask for 50% of the film schedule, 20% is enough... It is too difficult for small and medium-sized investment movies to survive now. Without the support of theaters, it is released, the reputation is fermented, and then it is released..."We "Two" and "Glorious Fury" What a pity..."
Wu Hehu nodded: "...Sure, there is no problem with Shanghai United Cinemas!"
Zhao Jun also said: "Southern Shinkansen... I will go back and discuss it with them, but there is a high probability that there will be no problem!"
Gao Jun said: "Just three days..."
"Thank you three bosses..."
Speaking of this, Shen Xudong coughed, and then said: "I have read a report before, which said that there are four ways for film students to do after graduation: one is to join a TV agency and have nothing to do with movies; the other is to make as many movies as possible. The six films that I don’t understand continue to win awards; the third is that they are successful in the industry, but the works are really not flattering; the fourth is to make advertising and make money...I now offer the fifth one: make commercial films!"
"I'm here to say, as long as you have confidence in your work, show it to me. I've passed the test here. I will help you with the rest. If you want to form a team, find actors, and release it... I will provide you with a Dragon service!”
A reporter immediately asked: "Do you want to save Chinese movies?"
Shen Xudong was speechless: "Do you think I have that ability? I'm just trying to do my best to help... I didn't know about the film "Stone" until Huang Bo introduced me to it. I'm sure that we must have many good projects that can't find investment. Funds... By the way, I also want to make some money..."
"Making money from movies?"
“…What movie have I been in that didn’t make any money?”
…
That is, which of Shen Xudong's movies didn't make money?
By the way, this matter is not a whim, it was discussed with Gao Fenfen - it is time for the new generation of directors from the mainland to emerge...
It's just that the seniors are holding me down and I can't get out...
It's okay, we help!
This is called the Recruitment Order.
Bringing it back, "Stone" premiered, what to do with the rest?
Keep up the publicity!
Tianmei's publicity team is online - "The Shanghai Film Festival's "Crazy Stone" premiered with thousands of people, a hilarious start", "'The Stone' is going crazy, Shen Xudong boasts of breaking 100 million!" ", "Ning Hao's appearance may make Feng Xiaogang feel nervous"...
In addition, of course, there are comments from famous directors.
Chen Kexin said, ""Crazy Stone" is not like a mainland movie. Ning Hao's grasp of humor is rarely seen in Hong Kong movies." ’
Huang Jianxin praised, "Ning Hao is indeed a very mature director with an excellent ability to control details. The film has Quentin's black humor, which is great." ’
And Andy Lau - he also invested two million.
It’s all listed!
Even if it's not the headlines, it's still news.
The publicity intensity is getting stronger and stronger as the release date approaches...
…
As the opening film, "Stone" was screened once, and then Ning Hao led the team to promote it - on the third day after the opening, it was officially released nationwide!
Shen Xudong no longer needs to follow.
He didn’t return to the capital either. There was a forum section at the Shanghai Film Festival that he had to participate in – Sino-European co-productions and anti-piracy...
I'm speechless. Does the Sino-European co-production have anything to do with him?
In fact, he can also participate - to cheat and compensate.
There is a China-EU co-production fund, which seems to be worth hundreds of millions. Shen Xudong can definitely make a beautiful PPT and make a fortune!
——Everyone is cheating money, why can’t I?
"Countess", "Jade Warrior"...
They’re all bad movies anyway…
Overthinking, there is no chance at all. This is the job of the major established studios. Look at the producers behind "Jade Warrior": China Co-production Company, China Film Producers Association and European Producers Club...
Yes, it doesn't make any money, but it is still a valuable attempt, paving the way for latecomers.
Shen Xudong probably just listened to their boasts...
He doesn't know any of these so-called European producers...
Anti-piracy forum... He did have a chance to speak, but unfortunately, he couldn't think of any novel ideas.
It's like having a debate. The topic of the debate is "With freedom of wealth, will you be able to make money?" It's ridiculous to argue, even fools know how to choose...
…
Shi Nansheng also participated in this Shanghai International Film Festival. "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and "The Fuse" are both works produced by her...
She had to promote it, and the Shanghai International Film Festival also specially invited her to host a master class on "Gold Medal Producers and Successful Film Strategies."
Shi Nansheng is as famous as Li Guofu in the Chinese film industry - he has the reputation of being able to conquer the world with one person.
She is a top producer of Chinese-language films...
Why write about her?
Because... Shen Xudong is preparing to produce "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and wants Xu Ke to direct it, but he is a little worried about Xu Ke's current state - it feels like Mr. Xu is not very good at filming now!
Shen Xudong knew the reason - during this period, Xu Ke met...a third person and regained his vitality.
But I don’t know if it was because of too much energy that it burned my brain. The next five years brought three major bad movies: "The Iron Triangle", "Deep Sea", and "Women Are Not Bad"...
It wasn't until "Detective Dee: The Heavenly Empire" that it became a little bit normal!
Shen Xudong wanted to find Shi Nansheng to understand the general situation, but if it didn't work, he would be replaced by someone else to direct.
Who to replace?
Can't find the right director?
If he really couldn't find a suitable one, he would bring a few young directors with him and do it himself!
Damn it, make a movie without a suitable director?
Guo Fan finished filming "My Deskmate" and then went to film "The Wandering Earth"...
Who can imagine this span?
Don't underestimate the director's creativity.
I can't update for several days on May Day, so I have to save my manuscript...
Otherwise, it would have been posted long ago.
