Chapter 639 Just Data!
Chen Kexin is really good at deceiving!
He went to Li Lianjie, which meant he told investors that this was an action blockbuster, and then... there weren't a lot of fight scenes in "The Signature"!
You approached Li Lianlian and didn't you specifically arrange a fight?
Don’t want to sell for money?
Li Lianjie himself also said, "I really admire Chen Kexin. He actually asked me to film "The Call to Action"..."
What do you admire?
I admire him for daring to lose money!
Li Lianjie knew very well that his selling point was fighting, so a director hired action actors to shoot literary dramas...
Crazy thread?
Don't want to make money anymore?
Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung were at their peak back then, and they made "Heart of the Dragon" and lost more than 10 million!
Well, why does Chen Kexin dare?
Because... Mainland investors don't know these twists and turns. They only recognize the cast lineup: Li Lianlian + Andy Lau + Jin Chengwu... Oh my god, this is going to explode!
Therefore, Shen Xudong felt that Chen Kexin was not honest enough!
Earn fame by exploiting information gaps...
Later, Xingmei also learned this trick. In addition to "The Call to Action", Xingmei's Tan Hong also produced two major productions: "Martial Arts" and "Blood Drops"...
One costs 120 million and the other costs 150 million!
Too outrageous…
Many people also said, ‘The investors didn’t know the business and were directly cheated. A film cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce the effect of mountain cannons entering the city. Rumor has it that a pair of cloth shoes and a straw hat cost several thousand yuan...'
Yes, it is true that the bill was several thousand yuan...
But does Tan Hong really not know how to do it?
Then why "Nanjing!" Nanjing! 》Lu Chuan complained that ‘the price for replacing a lamp is 6,000 yuan, which can’t be saved’…
Obviously, the money Xingmei used for filming... can't be said!
Shen Xudong also owns a film company, and he is also involved in many things...
Probably also understand a little bit!
Many investors really don’t know how to do it, and they don’t even understand how to break down movie accounts. They think that the box office is how much money they make!
Very easy to deceive...
However, Xudong will definitely be there to support the premiere of "The Certificate of Entrepreneurship"...
After all, he is also a screenwriter!
…
The next day, Shen Xudong went out feeling refreshed...
After all, young people recover quickly!
But he had no idea of finding anyone to test the gun with, he had something else to do today!
I went to the company first and received a series of interviews as usual, mainly promoting "Racing" and explaining 'Chezhen': "...I was answering the phone...it was too dangerous to answer the phone while driving, so I turned the car Stopped…”
"It's clear that I'm spreading rumors... I have nothing to be angry about. After all, it's an honor to spread the scandal with Fan Bingbing... I just feel sorry for Sister Bingbing..."
This is the benefit of being single!
If you want to hang out in the world, it's best to be a bachelor...
You see, although everyone doesn't believe that the phone call lasted for half an hour, but... there is no direct evidence to prove that the two of them were having sex in the car. Besides, even if there is evidence, so what?
Unmarried men and unmarried women...
Isn’t it okay to have a normal relationship?
After a few words, the interviewer left, and Chen Xi walked in with coffee: "Want to drink?"
"I don't drink coffee...give me a glass of boiled water!"
“…”
Chen Xi turned around and left. After a while, he came in with a glass of boiled water. Shen Xudong took it: "Thank you..."
"Hey, let me ask you something. I'm curious. Is Cui Yongyuan looking for trouble?"
"looking for me?"
"..."Mobile Phone 2"!"
"Oh, "Mobile Phone 2" is actually a scene related to the game, and has nothing to do with "Mobile Phone"... I'll tell you the settings and you'll know!"
Shen Xudong explained that "Mobile Phone 2" is actually "Perfect Strangers". The setting is very simple: a group of friends gather for dinner and then play games. Everyone here takes out their mobile phones and puts them on the table, and then every time they receive a text message and MMS must be made public and the whole story explained...
This play has nothing to do with Yan Shouyi, the character names have been changed...
The leading actor is also Chen Daoming instead of Ge You!
Chen Xi understood: "I guess Teacher Cui should have found out the content of this play. Knowing that this thing is just to ride on the popularity of "Mobile Phone"..."
"That should be it..."
In fact, Shen Xudong was also worried that Mr. Cui would jump out and criticize "Mobile Phone 2"... After all, "Mobile Phone" was indeed sorry for Mr. Cui - at that time, Mr. Cui had stepped down from his position as a CCTV host and became a TV host in Feng. In the eyes of the director, he is an insignificant person... That’s why he doesn’t care about Teacher Cui’s attitude at all!
——The public reaction should be anticipated when planning a movie. It is immoral to base fame and fortune on the suffering of others.
Therefore, when "Lust, Caution" was released, Zheng Jingzhi, the sister of Zheng Pingru, the prototype of Wang Jiazhi's character, held a press conference in Los Angeles and publicly criticized director Li Min and author Zhang Ailing...
Because... "Lust, Caution" is also quite wicked!
Why "Lust, Caution" can be considered by many people to be a high-quality film because of its "artistic quality", and is even called "the best Chinese-language film of all time"...
Ahem...
Chen Xi just thought of a topic, not that he was interested in "Mobile Phone 2" - the company only invested 10% in this movie, and it was just a co-producer.
She is more concerned about "The Letter of Registration". After all, she received the news: "..."The Film Schedule of "The Letter of Registration" in the first three days is over 80%!"
"...It's already very good. When "Hero" was released, I remember that it was 100% scheduled!"
"What about 'Racing'? Directly released?"
Shen Xudong was speechless: "How is it possible to release it? Did Director Han say it might exceed 200 million?"
"No clear answer..."
"I estimate... 200 million should be fine!"
"...What basis do you have?"
Shen Xudong put it another way: "Then if you were a film bureau and there were not three domestic films worth over 200 million yuan this year, would you be very happy?"
"...What does this have to do with Director Han? Director Han is not an official of the Film Bureau."
"The theaters owned by China Film Group account for 70% of the market share. The film bureau wants performance. Do you think the Korean board of directors will not cooperate?"
…
Before the market officially expanded and became digitized, the box office data of movies... was not accurate!
Therefore, the first-day box office of "The Promise" was 21.15 million, which is often not discussed at all...
At first, a lot of people questioned the box office of "The Promise" - Mr. Cui directly scolded the film bureau for fabricating data...
"The Promise", a movie released in 2005, 21.15 million on the first day? (The number of screens at that time was 2,800)
Then, in 2006, "Golden Armor" sold 15 million on its first day? (number of screens: 3,300)
In 2007, the first-day box office of the super blockbuster "Transformers" was 22 million? (number of screens: 3,700)
If you tell me there's nothing wrong with this, who will believe it?
But then again, at a critical moment like the Lunar New Year period, movie box office is really just data.
There is definitely no shortage of viewers for "Racing". Therefore, whether it can exceed 200 million, the key point is Director Han's attitude. He is willing to give opportunities and arrange more films. "Racing" will have a high probability of exceeding 200 million...
In the original time and space, the box office of "The Signature" exceeded 100 million within five days of its release, and the reputation was very good. The distributor told Chen Kexin that 300 million was stable, and then "Assembly Number" was released...
The box office of "The Name of the Register" was suddenly pegged at 130 million and stopped moving.
The producer did not receive any news about the box office for ten days. With nothing to do, Chen Kexin ran to ask Director Han: "Mr. Han, tell me if it will exceed 200 million? I only ask for 200 million."
In the end, the box office of "Tou Ming Zhuan" just exceeded 200 million...
Ended with 202 million...
Therefore, when Shen Xudong saw Director Han at the premiere of "The Movie", he said with great anticipation: "Director Han, is there any chance that "Racing" will exceed 200 million? I only want 200 million!"
