Chapter 730 Reverse Growth?

Back then, Shen Xudong was just starting out and conquered Gong Li with his talent and physical strength...

Well, it’s hard to say whether to conquer or not, at least that’s what he thinks!

In short, with Gong Li, he can successfully invest in "Party A and Party B 2", "A World Without Thieves" and "Mobile Phone 2"...

Otherwise, he is just a screenwriter at best!

Tianmei Media also successfully entered the circle.

Of course, Shen Xudong is indeed very good. "Carol" sent Gong Li to the Oscar nomination list in one fell swoop!

Became the first Asian actress to be nominated for an Oscar in film history.

Gongli is at its peak.

Later, she also starred in "The Wife" and "Famous"...

The remuneration for the films was very low, especially for "Famous", which was a friendly appearance and only received less than 2 million yuan in remuneration.

Therefore, Shen Xudong wanted to thank her for always thinking about a weighty work.

To be precise, a significant female character!

Therefore, during that time, Shen Xudong studied Zhang Ailing. He thought about letting her play Mrs. Liang in "The First Incense", and then changed the script into a work from Mrs. Liang's perspective, but... it was difficult to change.

Zhang Ailing's works are easy to photograph, but difficult to photograph well.

Forget it, Shen Xudong was not ready yet, so he simply used "Blood Guanyin"...

"Blood Guanyin" is a very bold work, reflecting the collusion between politics and businessmen in power and money transactions, as well as the dirty methods of Mrs. Tang's family.

We often say: Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. However, "Blood Guanyin" really makes you feel the resentment of fratricide, and it is still in the name of love.

The so-called affection between mother and daughter is nothing more than an excuse for evil. Under the words "I'm doing this for your own good" lies the greatest betrayal and self-hypnosis.

As the mother, Mrs. Tang is an antique dealer and the widow of a senior military officer in Yunnan and Burma. With her special status, she was able to maneuver among officials and businessmen at all levels. As an interest broker, she helped high-ranking officials to buy land for Guo Loan, and she even played both sides of the coin, making a profit without much effort.

Use your daughter's body to find a layer of protection for your crimes...

Of course, the ending is not amicable!

In fact, it is a political romance film, with collusion between politics and business and constant conspiracies. The whole story is full of absurdity from beginning to end, and in the end there is almost no good person left in the pure sense...

Shen Xudong likes this movie very much, and more importantly, Gong Li also likes it...

It’s great to end their collaboration with such a movie!

…

"I never thought it would be released in the mainland from the beginning..." Shen Xudong said seriously: "Some movies would be boring if they deleted the large-scale scenes!"

"...Okay, but the cost of this drama is as high as 60 million, so it won't be easy!"

"It's okay," Shen Xudong waved his hand: "This film is for winning prizes. There is no need to consider the market. The producer is Golden Harvest..."

It’s easy to attract investment for a movie starring Gong Li~

"Playing her daughter..."

"Go and ask Fan Bingbing if she has any ideas... If she is willing, it will be much easier!"

"...Okay, I'll ask..."

"They are both Shandong women!"

Chen Xi then asked: "What about Tang Zhen...she is not easy to find!"

Tang Zhen has the acting chops of "Blood Guanyin". The whole "Blood Guanyin" is actually Tang Zhen's growth process, from the little girl who was still a girly girl at the beginning to a cold and selfish woman like Mrs. Tang!

In terms of age, 15 years old...

It’s very difficult!

The original time and space was played by Wen Qi...

That’s why Wen Qi is called a born actor!

Shen Xudong didn't have a good candidate, so he could only reply: "Take your time and choose, and you will always find the right one. By the way, I asked you to contact Director Xu Anhua, have you found him?"

"...She is very interested, but she is filming "Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai"..."

"Then wait until she finishes filming "Night and Fog"... By the way, you ask Zhong Lifang to arrange for a few actresses to come to the capital and let them guest star in "33 Days of Love", which can be regarded as a face-saving..."

"Okay~"

…

Shen Xudong is busy with the preparations for "33 Days After Love". In the film market, "Hot Detective" finally got rid of its biggest opponent-the Olympic Games.

Jackie Chan is also on promotional mode.

Oh, the overseas performance of "Hot Detective" is quite good. In the first five days, the box office revenue in Hong Kong exceeded 13 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office revenue in Taiwan and Southeast Asia exceeded 8 million US dollars...

It has also been released in the Middle East, West Asia, and Europe, and I heard that the box office is good. However, these places have already sold the copyright, so the box office performance has little impact on Shen Xudong.

It is worth mentioning that after "Hot Detective" was released in South Korea, the number of moviegoers exceeded 370,000 in the first three days...

Judging from word-of-mouth and market feedback, it is very likely to set a new box office record for Jackie Chan's movies in South Korea - Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" was released in South Korea for half a year, with nearly 900,000 moviegoers...

Oh, the year "Drunken Master" was released, the total number of moviegoers in South Korea did not exceed 3 million a year...

After Jackie Chan started promoting the film, theaters increased their film schedule.

In fact, the theater chain's increased film schedule has little to do with Jackie Chan. The main thing is that the box office performance of "The Incredible Hulk" was unsatisfactory...

To be honest, "The Incredible Hulk" is not a big IP in China.

If it weren't for Li Min, many people might not even know what the "Hulk" is...

——Li Min once directed "The Incredible Hulk", which failed miserably in terms of reputation and box office...

Then he filmed "Brokeback Mountain" and slowed down.

Back to the subject, Jackie Chan mentioned Shen Xudong in various ways during promotions.

It's also normal. The movie "Hot Detective" itself was acted by Jackie Chan only after Shen Xudong's strong invitation...

Originally it was not in Jackie Chan's movie plans. In recent years, Jackie Chan has been busy transforming.

The Sun Dasheng in "The Dirty Detective" is completely designed according to Chen Jiaju. Playing such a role will not help his transformation at all!

Of course, he is also very happy now that it is a hit at the box office.

"The filming of the next "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has been completed... I have always wanted to collaborate with director Xu Ke, and this time I finally got my wish..."

"I will make "Shinjuku Incident" later...directed by Er Dongsheng..."

"Xudong seems not to be involved in this drama."

"He said he didn't like me acting in this kind of drama..."

Well, actually Shen Xudong didn’t want to lose money...

"Shinjuku Incident" was a box office failure!

After losing money, Er Dongsheng supervised the production of "Eavesdropping" and did not dare to add any action scenes. Jackie Chan quickly made "Twelve Zodiac Signs" to regain his health...

As for quality…

To be honest, there are many stowaway movies, such as "Yellow Sea", "Sea Fog" and even "Mongkok Night", which are no worse than "Shinjuku Incident"...

If it weren't for Jackie Chan, "Shinjuku Incident" would only be considered good!

Bringing it back, with the end of the Olympic Games, the film market gradually returned to normal. On August 25, the market closed at more than 15 million. On August 26, the market rose to 16 million. On August 27, it even rose to 18 million. In August It fell back to 17.2 million on the 28th...

In fact, it was the promotion effect of "Dicky Detective" - ​​"Dicky Detective" accounted for about 70% of the total market. After four working days, "Dicky Detective" reported a revenue of 46.8 million. After ten days of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 100 million. And judging from word-of-mouth and market feedback, the end point of "Hot Detective" is definitely more than 150 million - the original theater chain gave a box office forecast of 150 million.

There was reverse growth in the second week...

Sure enough, the three-day revenue of the next weekend exceeded 58 million, and the box office exceeded 160 million in 13 days of release!
