Chapter 760 What Changes Can I Make?
In September 2011, Tianmei Building was located on Hepingli East Street in DC District, between the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.
Shen Xudong came to work very rarely...
In the past three years, many things have happened. For example, last year, Tianmei Media complied with the requirements from the above and was listed on the A-share market. The market value was 80 billion yuan, and it became the dominant entertainment stock in the mainland.
Movies produced by Tianmei Media have occupied the top spot in the Mainland market for three consecutive years. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Detective Dee", the "Three Kingdoms" series, including the "Liao Zhai" story, are all box office hits...
Just to put it bluntly, the just-ended summer season, "Lucky Key", "Yunnan Worm Valley", "Han Lie Zhaodi", and "Crime City 2", the cumulative box office of four movies exceeded 2.4 billion!
Among them, "Yunnan Worm Valley" broke the box office record of domestic movies, with a cumulative box office of 860 million!
Temporarily ranked third in film history - the top two are "Avatar" and "Transformers 3"...
In addition, "Crime City 2" has exceeded 500 million, becoming the first Hong Kong film to have a box office of more than 500 million...
Of course, the starring role is Zhang Jing, the second male lead is Xie Miao, the action director is also Qin Pengfei, the director is Lu Yang, Chen Musheng produces, and a bunch of familiar faces from Hong Kong films play supporting roles...
It is said to be a Hong Kong film mainly because it was shot in Hong Kong and produced by Golden Harvest.
Bringing it back, Shen Xudong has rarely appeared in front of the public media in the past three years. He even did not show up during movie promotions.
When I return to China this time, I have no plans to stay in Hollywood again.
Everything is almost done!
Wonderful Studio was sold to Time Warner for US$812 million. At the same time, Shen Xudong received 90 million shares of Warner Brothers, holding nearly 5% of the shares...
Warner Bros. needs Wonder Studios - "Harry Potter" is over, and Warner only has DC on hand, and it needs to add new projects!
Fantastic Studios has the last two installments of the Twilight series and The Hunger Games…
In fact, Shen Xudong originally wanted to merge with Netflix, but Netflix couldn't come up with the money, and it was hard for Shen Xudong to explain to Joseph and the others that "Netflix will be very valuable in the future"...
Netflix is now only a small company with a market value of US$3 billion.
Shen Xudong simply acquired 5% of Netflix's shares and made a strategic investment of US$150 million in the name of PPTV...
The so-called strategic investment is to borrow a chicken to lay an egg. Anyway, many of PPTV's dramas are broadcast on Netflix...
Oh, in three years, PPTV has become the first video platform. Although it has not been listed, Baidu invested US$600 million, Shen Xudong recruited Gong Yu as CEO, and Sequoia Capital invested US$350 million...
Therefore, even though PPTV is burning money, it is not Shen Xudong’s money that is burning!
…
Shen Xudong's office is on the top floor. The decoration is not to say magnificent, but at least it is dignified and stable!
Shen Xudong asked his assistant to make a cup of coffee, then sat at his desk with the coffee and started...watching videos...
The assistant is male, Xu Hui - it’s not that I don’t want to find a female, I interviewed Jiang Su Ying before and it was too bad!
After asking about it, I found out that she is that kind of... pseudo-international student, and her high school is a technical secondary school...
Sure enough, as Wang Chuanjun commented - except for fair skin and beauty, the rest is mediocre!
Shen Xudong had seen so many fair-skinned and beautiful people that he simply didn't use her.
In the past few years, he has been busy saving the entertainment industry and shouldering the heavy responsibility of spreading oriental art. He has not done much to preach to the new generation in the mainland...
You must be dedicated to your career!
I was watching a video - Season 2 of "Run" when someone knocked on the door: "Come in!"
It was Chen Xi. As soon as she entered the door, she looked Shen Xudong up and down: "...Are you really back?"
"Well, my journey in America has come to an end!"
“You’re not involved in the next few films of ‘The Hunger Games’, ‘Insidious’, and ‘The Conjuring’?”
Shen Xudong shrugged: "Participate... I am still one of the producers, enjoy 15% of the profit dividends, and have casting rights... but I don't have to stay in the United States!"
"...We thought you would not return to China until next year..."
"Why next year?"
"Isn't "The Grandmaster" a competition for awards..."
Shen Xudong said casually: "Oh, that won't be until November, I'll go there then!"
"Where's the Golden Lion? Show it to me!"
"...I...I think I put it in the trunk. I asked Xiao Xu to go get it!"
Last week, "The Grandmaster" participated in the Venice Film Festival and won the Golden Lion...
I really have to thank Todd Hines for this. Although he was only one of the judges, he argued and fought with the chairman of the jury Darren Aronofsky in various ways, and finally helped Shen Xudong win the Golden Lion Award. , otherwise, it is likely to be the Jury Prize or the Silver Lion for Best Director.
As a thank you, Shen Xudong gave Todd Haynes "Manchester by the Sea" and invited Leonardo to star!
Because the color of PY is too strong, Shen Xudong didn’t even care about this Golden Lion...
But Chen Xi definitely didn’t think so. After all, the Golden Lion Award is a Golden Lion Award, and its weight is here. When he heard that it was actually in the trunk of the car, he immediately glared at him, turned around and went straight out. It seemed that he was going to get it himself!
Not long after she left, Gao Fenfen knocked on the door: "Can I come in?"
"…certainly!"
When Gao Fenfen walked into the office, Shen Xudong was a little confused: "Why are you all so polite?"
"It's not good to be rude, who knows what you are doing in the office!"
"...What else can I do in the office besides working?"
Gao Fenfen suddenly bent down and looked at the bottom of the huge desk, then straightened up: "Who knows if you have any quirks!"
Shen Xudong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of quirks can I have? We only met half a year ago!"
"You were with a French girl at that time, and you behaved very intimately..."
Shen Xudong frowned: "French girl?"
"...tall...blonde, big breasts, very beautiful!"
"That's Kate Dennings...she's obviously a Yankee..."
"It's pretty much the same anyway!"
Shen Xudong raised his eyebrows: "...Doesn't it look good?"
"…Contain yourself!"
"Sister, Hollywood is famous for its position, and it is the most watched vanity fair in the world. To put it bluntly, one movie can achieve a class jump. Do you know how many girls have announced the casting of "The Hunger Games"? Can you send me some fruit photos?"
Speaking of this, Shen Xudong spread his hands: "I have been very restrained. I never force myself, and I will never take the initiative to strike up a conversation... I even refused to strike up a conversation with many female celebrities!"
"I know this, Zhao Xin told me all about it!"
"Old Zhao is just a beast. Do you know who he fell in love with after he went to the United States?"
"With whom?"
"Let me count," Shen Xudong counted, and then said: "Sandra Bullock, Kate Beckinsale and...Maggie Q! They are much more than me!"
"Bah... neither of you are good..." Gao Fenfen concluded in one sentence, and then asked: "Where is Zhao Xin?"
"He will serve as the producer and chief screenwriter of our new drama "Squid Game" cooperating with HBO. He will not be able to come back for the time being..."
"'Squid Game'?"
"I have bought the mainland copyright and will launch it on PPTV in a while..."
The original first chapter of the new volume should be this...
