Chapter 697 It’s Hard to Imagine a Cartoon so Powerful!

Well, I did send a girl to Shen Xudong, and I sent him two.

Even after the Korean version of "20 Again" confirmed the actors, they made a special call to fly across the country and asked Shen Xudong to give them some advice...

The practice of "Fa Niu" was used for reference in the era of the rise of Internet celebrities and girl groups. Many outsiders or marginalized figures in the circle made friends with many powerful people through "Fa Niu"...

At a dinner party, a wine party, or just a simple drinking party, after getting to know you and chatting for a few words, they send beauties to your room. They are all girls in their twenties, and they are well-organized...

And just scratch your head and pose for you to dig.

What can you do?

It’s something even a man can’t stand!

You are a big shot in the industry, a big shot, so newcomers should fawn over you!

Therefore, not many people in the circle were surprised after Wu's selection of a concubine was revealed.

As for those outside the circle...it's just more fun!

The Sanlian article "Entertainment Matters" was published in 2003. Two paragraphs left a deep impression on me: "The Hong Kong entertainment industry only has so many things to deal with. In the past, the most it was Alan Tam fighting Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui fighting Priscilla Chan, or... A group of four kings play "Four Kingdoms Chess". Who wins and who loses depends on who has a good relationship with the radio and television stations. ’

“The Hong Kong ICAC is more serious this time because the rules of the entertainment industry have violated larger rules and harmed the interests of others. In the eyes of many people, it seems that there is no need for the ICAC to go to war, but from another perspective, it can illustrate a problem - the legal system does not care whether you are entertaining or not. This also shows that for a long time, when people look at entertainment, they rarely associate it with the legal system. ’

Yes, even after almost twenty years, everyone still looks at the entertainment industry from an entertainment perspective!

No, today's public demands are more stringent - Faye Wong and Xu Jinglei became popular in the 1990s. If it were later, it would not be about daring to love or hate, but knowing what is important.

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong did not deny that he was entertained in South Korea, but said: "The management company in South Korea is too harsh on artists. Once the contract is signed, it lasts for more than ten years, and they ask you to accompany them!"

"What if you were famous?"

"It doesn't matter if you are famous. Now that you are famous, the value of accompanying you to a drink is even higher..."

"Can't you just go?"

"If you don't go...either I'll beat you or ban you, it's your choice!"

Zhong Lifang suddenly thought of something: "Is the movie "Playthings" inspired by the Korean entertainment industry?"

"right…"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Actually, the Korean entertainment industry is more similar to the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1990s.

A few major companies monopolize almost all resources, and young artists must sign a prostitution contract if they want to enter the industry, unless you are a wealthy young master or you have a godfather and godmother. I wish I had only a fixed salary every month. These new young artists look glamorous, but they are actually miserable.

As for the so-called big names in Zhongwu Road, they are more like the big names in Hong Kong at that time. They have already started working as contract workers. They are aloof to the new small artists who are new to the industry. They can talk to the top executives of entertainment companies. The conversation even reached the point where they hooked up and hung out together..."

"Then you cooperate with them..."

"What does it have to do with me if they come and take it randomly..." At this point, Shen Xudong suddenly realized something was wrong: "What happened to you today? Are you so concerned about the Korean entertainment industry?"

Chen Xi smiled: "You saw it...do you know Han Gen?"

"You know, the Chinese members of the Korean boy band?"

"Yes, that's him."

"What's wrong, you want to sign him?"

Chen Xi nodded: "Du Hua is very interested in him..."

…

There is a saying that has been circulating in the market that Han Gen's popularity is inexplicable.

Indeed, since his debut, although he has produced some music and film and television works, the screen image left to the audience is extremely vague. In other words, he has not produced any classic works.

What makes the audience talk about it is not his works, but the experiences and stories behind him. In 2005, a group called Super Junior came into being in South Korea.

As the only Chinese member, Han Gen is also considered a card player. In 2008, with his outstanding performance, he became the captain of the Super Junior-M group.

Shen Xudong has only one impression of him: after his debut, every time he appeared on variety shows in Korea, he always looked submissive. When he returned to China, he immediately acted like a big name and canceled the show more than once...

What's wrong, Korean show, why don't you dare to stop recording it?

In a word, I don’t have a good feeling...

But Han Gen is indeed the first-generation top streamer, enjoying the blessing of traffic dividends when they first emerged: as long as the first-generation traffickers are good-looking enough and have the capital to support them, they can break out of the siege and maximize the traffic benefits.

Of course, its own capabilities and traffic are extremely mismatched, so it will become popular and fall quickly.

Shen Xudong is not disgusted with traffic. When traffic has strength and works, he is Brother Hu!

Han Gen obviously did not belong to this category, so Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't like him. This person has no culture and is very arrogant..."

"But Du Hua...is determined to get him..."

"Then let her go!"

Shen Xudong rolled his eyes: "What's wrong? Without her, you can't manage artists?"

"...That's not..."

"Stop talking about Han Gen," Zhong Lifang changed the subject: "Xudong, when do you think "20 Again" will break 300 million?"

Breaking 300 million...

You are so impressed!

"Kung Fu Panda" opens tomorrow...

This is the biggest reason why Shen Xudong pushed "Jingjue Ancient City" to be released on July 4th...

Oh, "The Ancient City" was postponed to July 4th, and "Red Cliff (Part 1)" was simply postponed to the 17th...

Facing the expectant eyes of a group of people, Shen Xudong said seriously: "...I think 250 million, at most 280 million, not 300 million!"

"Why? Are you saying that the pirated version has been released?"

"No...the opponent is too strong!"

"What opponent? Kung Fu Panda?"

"right!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of people fell silent. Zhong Lifang was the first to hold back: "How could a cartoon be an opponent?"

Well, it's understandable, after all, even Shen Xudong has some doubts about his memory - "Kung Fu Panda" grossed 186 million in box office in the mainland.

You must know that before "Kung Fu Panda", Hollywood... not only Hollywood, but also mainland animated movies, the animated movie with the highest box office in China was "The Lion King" with 41.3 million...

Yes, a movie from 1995!

No, it was "Ice Age 2" in 2006, which took in a box office of 80.47 million yuan.

Last year, DreamWorks' "Shrek 3" box office in the mainland was less than 10 million...

Many people think animated movies are just for children, childish and boring!

Therefore, even though "Kung Fu Panda" has two Chinese elements, "Kung Fu" and "Panda", everyone is still not optimistic...

Even ready to find fault!

Just like when Disney made the animated movie "Mulan", a lot of people criticized it...

Negative review of "Mulan" animated movie: 'The Yankees meddle in someone else's classic and create a disaster. ’

Then, the live-action version was released, and a group of people said it smelled really good!

So, be afraid of comparison in everything!

Ahem, bring it back, Shen Xudong smiled and said with determination: ""Kung Fu Panda" will prove what I said is right. It will be the first animated film in mainland China to exceed 100 million!"
