Chapter 721 I Am Thick-Skinned
In fact, "I Saw the Devil" is not a particularly good movie, and it is not mainstream at all. Many people found it disgusting after watching it...
From childhood torture, slowly cutting off hamstrings, hammering the head, dismembering corpses, tearing open human flesh and feeding it to dogs, inserting a screwdriver into the mouth, to severe beheadings, brutal scenes, etc.
Most viewers will feel physically uncomfortable after watching it.
Why are the media asking this?
On the one hand, Shen Xudong made money again!
"Cloverfield 10", "The Twilight Saga", and "I Saw the Devil" are three movies. The cost of the latter two is even more than 40 million US dollars...
It is no longer the previous model of using small things to make things big.
Wondering how much he actually earned;
I want to know what he really thinks - he can't be screened in China, is he complaining about the general environment or something?
On the other hand, lately it has been all about the Olympics and almost no movie information...
Reporting the news about "Seeing the Devil" can be considered as a refreshment!
"I don't have any objections to the general environment. "I Saw the Devil" and "Cloverfield 10" never thought they could be released in China from the beginning..."
"Actually, I think some movies are not suitable for public viewing..."
""Hot Detective" is a movie that I specially found Jackie Chan and asked him to star in. It is the story of a violent police officer who beats the rich second generation..."
"I told him to play the role of a policeman again, just as giving back to the fans..."
After saying this, some media immediately responded: ""New Police Story"..."
Well, Jackie Chan did play a policeman in "New Police Story", but Shen Xudong immediately asked: "What do you think of "New Police Story"?"
"generally…"
"Yeah, since it's just average, of course I want to make a better one."
"New Police Story", compared to "Police Story" can only be said to be average.
Because the protagonist is Chen Guangrong, not Chen Jiaju!
Chan Ka Kui is a tough guy hero, while Chan Kwong Wong is a decadent middle-aged man. "New Police Story" is not Jackie Chan at all, and the Hong Kong in "New Police Story" is also different from the Hong Kong we are familiar with.
The second generation of rich people are lawless...
Therefore, "New Police Story" is such a loss. It should at least wait until the term rich second generation becomes popular before releasing it!
In 2004, there was no concept of the second generation of rich people. Children of wealthy families were uniformly called children of wealthy families or upper-class aristocrats...
"Hot Detective" is "Big Shot". Before it was released, the term "rich second generation" was already very popular...
In fact, the best time for "Hot Detective" to be released was in 2011. At that time, things like Tian Yi, Guo MM, and Li Qiming who yelled that my dad is LG were presented in a noisy manner, and the violent police officer beat the rich second generation in line with the public. Psychological needs!
This is not... Jackie Chan is about to become famous...
Well, reputation is secondary. The main thing is that he is 54 years old. If he doesn't film, he will really be unbeatable!
Fortunately, the term rich second generation has appeared...
He originally thought that the media would continue to ask about "Hot Detective", but he was ready to talk about his views on the rich second generation, or ask Shen Xudong what he thought of Liu Xiang's retirement...
After thinking too much, the next question from the media was: "I heard that your new movie "Love Is Not Blind" uses a heroine who is unfamiliar to everyone, named Bai Baihe?"
"right…"
"Why?"
"It's appropriate..."
"I heard she is married?"
"...Yes, Chen Yufan's wife...she was also a classmate of mine when I was in the Chinese Theater Academy. Her acting skills are suitable and her image is suitable. There is no reason not to use her!"
"…That you…"
Shen Xudong rolled his eyes: "You're overthinking it. You can go and find out. I've never been in love in China Drama. I'm totally immersed in creation."
What Shen Xudong said is indeed true. When he was in school at China National Theater Academy, all he could think about was making money.
Flirting with women is only done occasionally...
"Don't make blind reports. I don't care. I'm thick-skinned anyway, but Bai Baihe is a newlywed. Besides... I've always kept a distance from married women, and you all know that..."
This is true. I have never heard of Shen Xudong being entangled with a married woman...
This is also one of Shen Xudong's bottom lines - the person in my memory was banned by the entire industry for a while because he messed with other wives...
…
The atmosphere throughout the premiere conference was harmonious...
It felt quite like an official meeting.
However, as soon as the press conference ended, the atmosphere immediately changed. Chen Xi was the first to speak: "Is there something wrong with China Film Group? We released it on August 20, but they arranged for "The Incredible Hulk" to be released on August 20?"
Shen Xudong glanced at Jackie Chan, and then said with a smile: "...Maybe it was planned before... It has been released in the United States for two months. If it doesn't come out, it will be difficult to explain to Universal..."
The production company of "The Incredible Hulk" is Marvel, and the distribution company is Universal Pictures...
"What a fool, it's really hard to shirk it. Why not arrange for "The Mummy 3" to be released simultaneously in China and the United States on August 1?"
"When "The Mummy 3" was released... wasn't China Film releasing "Red Cliff"..."
"So, just bullying us..."
The company has actually negotiated this matter.
It’s useless. The domestic film protection month refers to the period between June 10th and July 10th or July 10th and August 10th every year. In other words, the release of "The Incredible Hulk" fully complies with the regulations. The above They even persuaded Tianmei to postpone the release of "Hot Detective"...
How is it possible? When the project of "Hot Detective" was first announced, it was confirmed to be released on August 20th...
There have always been no problems, but suddenly it was announced that it would be postponed?
"..."The Incredible Hulk" is not "Transformers"...it's okay, you didn't see that Jackie Chan doesn't care!"
Jackie Chan really doesn't care about "The Incredible Hulk". In fact, before "The Avengers", Marvel movies could only be considered niche Hollywood blockbusters, and they could only count on "Iron Man" to conquer the world.
After "Avengers", the Marvel series immediately took off from less than 100 million per film to 300 to 500 million...
Moreover, the four "Avengers" movies, step by step, eventually reached the level of 800 to 1 billion for any movie.
But at this stage... "The Incredible Hulk" has little impact...
Jackie Chan's mind is filled with the Olympic Games - at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games tomorrow, Jackie Chan will also be on stage to sing...
Shen Xudong chatted with Jackie Chan for a while. After Jackie Chan left and sent him to the car, Shen Xudong turned to Chen Xi and said: "China Film can catch us and beat them, and we can also catch and beat them. Find out the release time of "Red Cliff" (Part 2)" , when the time comes, arrange a hit movie to compete head-on with it!"
"...direct fight?"
"What? Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid...but I'm worried that theaters may not support it..."
Oh, China Film Group has the power to produce and kill imported films. In addition, it also controls the copies of imported Hollywood films...
Therefore, under normal circumstances, theater chains will not have a quarrel with China Film!
"Then it will be the same as "Jingjue Ancient City", released two weeks in advance..."
"...No problem..." Chen Xi nodded, and then remembered something: "The ratings of "Ruyu's Legend" exceeded 2..."
"Breaking 2...it's not easy!"
