In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 731 Director’s Daily Life

Regarding the negative box office growth of "Hot Detective", it is actually foreseeable!

The oppressive effect of the Olympics is too obvious.

After the Olympics, on the first working day, the box office of "Dirty Detective" exceeded 10 million...

At that time, many people in the company felt that the mainland box office of "Dirty Detective" was likely to exceed that of "The Kung Fu King"...

But it’s September soon.

Generally speaking, September is a cold period for the market...

It’s very difficult!

But... the influence of "Hot Detective" quickly became a phenomenon, with online promotions, offline media, and various reports...

There are reports like ""Hot Detective", the "Police Story" of the new era", "This is the right way to open Jackie Chan's movies", and even "the rebirth of Hong Kong films"...

At the beginning, most of them were marketing releases from the company, and later on, they were basically spontaneous publicity by the media.

"Hot Detective" is really good!

According to the words of "Watching Movies": "The story of "Hot Detective" is actually not unusual, but the box office is very good, and I can conclude that the box office of this movie will exceed 200 million!

Because it meets the expectations of all our viewers!

We hate being rich and unkind, and we also expect a hero mentally, not the kind of Iron Man who fights aliens, but the kind of person who, for the sake of justice in his heart, no matter how many blows he receives, still perseveres and still yearns for the light.

The rich second-generation stereotype in the film is almost universal in any society and in any era. He represents a typical evil.

Tigers eat sheep, even to survive. It is a cruel but necessary evil.

The bloody behavior of the rich second generation is purely for entertainment. He abused women, broke the feet of bodyguards, and killed dogs to vent his anger, all for a kind of spiritual entertainment and relaxation, not for survival. It is a kind of behavior that should be avoided and should be avoided. Evil that shouldn't happen.

In his opinion, the salary that the driver worked so hard to beg for was just a meal. He felt that this little money should not come to the company to unfurl banners. He felt that he had been fooled and that his time was simply wasted. So a boxing match was artificially added as a bargaining chip for salary, allowing a father to be beaten and humiliated in front of his children.

The role of the policeman fills the gap in the hearts of the audience as a hero. In fact, he is just a dedicated public servant, no more noble than others. He is a member of the group who has to return half a bowl of noodles, and he also quarrels with his wife. Worrying about the mortgage, looking forward to a promotion and a salary increase.

But the only thing he couldn't tolerate was professional enemies, which was crime.

Everyone is looking forward to a hero. It doesn’t have to be a superhero like Hollywood, or even great. Maybe he just needs to be honest, receive a fair salary, and be able to do his job no matter how the outside world disturbs him. Work, that's enough! ’

The influence of "Hot Detective" lasted until "The Mummy 3" was released in mid-September...

Oh, "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" has been rescheduled and will be released in late October, making enough room for "Dirty Detective" and "Painted Skin"!

The box office of "The Mummy 3" is actually not that good - read the report: As of September 7, "The Mummy 3" has been released for 6 days, and the total box office exceeded the 50 million mark. In the first weekend, it attracted nearly 1 million viewers across the country to enter the theater to watch. The film received a box office of 29 million in its first weekend, and the style of a Hollywood blockbuster is amazing!

I’m so surprised, 29 million in the first weekend. Is there anything worth being amazed about?

The total cost of "Turning the Horse" is claimed to be US$145 million, but the box office in the first six days did not exceed 100 million?

You must know that "The Mighty Detective" has been released for its third week. Under the suppression of "The Mummy 3", it has scored 33 million box office results in the third week, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 200 million!

By the way, after "The Mummy 3" was released, many people said that the Qin Shihuang played by Li Lianlian was Ru Hua...

Humiliating or not, it’s all released anyway!

Shen Xudong didn't pay attention to the situation of "The Mummy 3" at all. He was busy filming "33 Days of Love" and had to take time to attend the press conference held by the top ten theaters - jointly promoting "Painted Skin" and "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" Two movies…

Movie distribution relies on theater chains!

During this year's National Day holiday, four films, "Painted Skin", "Witness", "Intimacy", and "Li Mi's Conjecture" competed on the same stage. Tianmei Media, Bona, Guangguang, and Huayi showed their swords at the same time...

It’s important to win theater support!

That's why Shen Xudong took temporary leave to attend the theater signing ceremony.

On the 10th, Shen Xudong returned to Beijing to continue filming "Love Is Not Blind"...

To be honest, "Love Is Not Blind" doesn't have any skills, and it doesn't need to create a romantic atmosphere. The photography is basically the most basic three-line structure. Just shoot in the face, and it all depends on the performance of the actors...

Shen Xudong's absence has little impact!

Well, this is his opinion. In fact, Shen Xudong is not on the crew, and the crew really cannot solve many things. The most basic point is that the director has the "final decision-making power" in visual art. Not good at acting? Again. The lighting is not working? One more.

These all require the director to make decisions!

After all, the director is responsible for the final image.

For example, now, Shen Xudong was a little dissatisfied with the scene just now. He yelled "Ka" and then warned: "Lu Ran, please hold back a little more and look more helpless..."

"no problem…"

Deng Chao gestured OK and continued shooting...

The actors in "33 Days After Love" are all those who Shen Xudong has worked with before, or are from his company.

The person who plays Lu Ran, Huang Xiaoxian's ex-boyfriend, found Deng Chao, and Feng Jiaqi, the best friend who stole Huang Xiaoxian's boyfriend, asked Sun Li to make a guest appearance;

Wei Yiran and Li Ke’s fiancé arranged for Jin Dong...

In addition, Big Lao Wang found Zhang Jiayi, and a bunch of colleagues from Huang Xiaoxian's company arranged for guest appearances by the company's actors.

Pussycat Doll CICI, starring Fu Ying, kind girl, Zhao Liying, there are also clients, four couples who have broken up.

Anyway, except for the heroine Bai Baihe, the cast is full of familiar faces.

Wen Yongshan also made a cameo as Aunt Zhang's love rival.

There aren't many scenes, it's mainly about facial recognition.

In addition, when Shen Xudong directed a movie, he was in a state of abstinence - this is his habit. When he concentrates on doing one thing, Tai always does this!

As the so-called essence does not leak out, people will be more energetic, energetic and more focused.

Directing a film requires concentration!

Even though he never wanted to be a great director, being energetic and focused is indeed a good thing.

Therefore, although beautiful actresses come and go in "33 Days of Love" every day, Shen Xudong doesn't care about these...

Even when they sent out an invitation for artistic exchange, Shen Xudong flatly refused.

The result of this is that the filming of "33 Days of Love" is progressing very quickly. The originally expected shooting period of thirty days is estimated to be about 25 days!

Back to the subject, after one scene, Lu Ran and Huang Xiaoxian were talking about the reason why they broke up...

In fact, when Huang Xiaoxian and Lu Ran first met, Lu Ran thought Huang Xiaoxian was humorous. After a few years, Lu Ran felt that Huang Xiaoxian was mean and spoke hurtfully. Has Huang Xiaoxian changed?

not at all!

If you don't love, you don't love anymore. There are always so many excuses. Lu Ran said this just to make his conscience feel better...

What he said is actually just a reason to break up, but it is not an excuse for cheating!

Are you still having sex with Huang Xiaoxian's best friend?

However, after Deng Chao finished filming this scene, he actually walked back to Shen Xudong and stared at his monitor. Shen Xudong was confused: "...What's wrong, you want to be a director too?"

"With this idea...an actor who doesn't want to be a director is not a good actor!"

"Who said that?"

"Jiang Wen said it!"
