Chapter 765 Premiere Scene or Battlefield?
"Actually, it's best for actors to have a little respect for acting and not treat it as a job. It's like building cement. If you can build a few more bricks, you can make more money. You can finish the building quickly, call it a day, go home and count the money... That kind of thing The work has no texture, I call this kind of work invalid garbage..."
In the car, Shen Xudong glanced at the tired fan Yang, and couldn't bear it, so he said...
"Isn't it important to make money?"
"Of course making money is important, but... as film and television drama practitioners and creators, we must at least respect art a little bit, right?"
"...I'm not being disrespectful. I'm always obedient on the set. I only passed after the director gave in..."
Shen Xudong was speechless: "Sister, do you believe what you said?"
Yang Xiaomi was silent for a moment...
After she became popular, in addition to the two dramas arranged by the company, the movie "Painted Skin 2" and the TV series "The Storm in the Woods", she took on three TV series...
It’s almost exhausting yourself to death!
However, Xudong can understand what fans are doing - making money is the most important thing!
On the one hand, the family is not rich. In Nancheng Hutong, old BJ has always said that "the east city is rich, the west city is expensive, the north city is poor, and the south city is cheap."
The so-called ‘cheap’ means cheap!
At that time, there was an overpass in Nancheng, which was once the most prosperous and lively entertainment place for civilians in BJ.
Naturally, Nancheng was dubbed cheap.
Who among the rich lives in Nancheng?
On the other hand, fan Yang, like Xudong, is an outsider, so before she became famous, she experienced being replaced several times...
Therefore, she and Shen Xudong initially had a fear of survival. This kind of fear cannot be felt by people who are born into a wealthy family and have no shortage of money.
Earlier, Shen Xudong also worked 365 days a year, at least 350 days!
Obviously he has become a producer, a famous writer, and started to make a lot of money, but the column writing in "BJ Youth" has not stopped...
At that time, the reason he gave himself was that ‘people must not forget their roots’ – in fact, it was the mentality that big money must be made, but small money should not be wasted!
"I'm telling you, you can no longer have the mentality of 'I won't let you look down upon'. You should change the mentality of 'I want to act well'..."
"What's the difference?"
Shen Xudong explained: "The difference is big. A good show may not be successful, but a popular show that seems to be easy to become popular and will definitely not lose money will most likely not be a good show!"
He even gave an example: "For example, several of Yu Zheng's dramas are very popular, but can you say that they are all good dramas? The anti-Japanese drama is very popular..."
Before Shen Xudong finished speaking, fan Yang interrupted with a smile: "They said you were the one who brought out the anti-Japanese drama!"
"What the hell?"
"Snow Leopard!"
“…”
Xudong is silent this time. "Snow Leopard" is indeed quite a drama...
——The reason why this drama is so awesome is the same as most anti-Japanese dramas, that is, the Japanese are really mentally retarded, and Zhou Weiguo is too awesome.
At this time Wang Zhi interrupted: "We're here..."
…
"The Grandmaster", winner of the Venice Golden Lion Award, Shen Xudong's third film...
These two publicity points, one is to attract the 'high-end' movie fans, and the other is to attract Shen Xudong's fans!
Xudong has been frequently reported in the press in recent years, in addition to a bunch of romantic affairs, and more about his journey in Hollywood as a producer!
The second part of "The Twilight Saga" has a box office of 300 million US dollars in North America and more than 700 million globally; the third part has a box office of 315 million US dollars in North America and still 700 million US dollars globally...
The first part of "The Hangover" has 277 million in North America and 469 million worldwide; the second part released this summer has 254 million in North America and 586 million worldwide;
He also created a female version of "The Hangover", which sold 169 million in North America and more than 300 million worldwide...
There are also three Hollywood action films starring Wu Jing, "Drive", "Revenge" and "Survivor" (US version). The box office is also okay, basically at the level of 35 million US dollars in North America and about 80 million worldwide...
"One Man" (US version) hasn't been released yet...
After this round of publicity, most netizens know about Shen Xudong's study journey in Hollywood.
Everyone is very interested!
Of course, I am more interested in my peers...
During the theater viewing held three days ago, a group of theater managers gave high evaluations of over 500 million...
——Theatrical managers are the group of people who know the market best. During the trial screening of "Super Family" in theaters, a bunch of people gave predictions of no more than 800 million box office... Facts have proved that, let alone 800 million, 500 million is not enough Enough!
"The Grandmaster" is Shen Xudong's first film to compete in the film market after two years. It won the Golden Lion Award in one fell swoop. Many colleagues came here with a learning attitude.
There is also a flattering mentality - Tianmei Media is the dominant player in the mainland's film and television industry, and Shen Xudong is the head...
No matter if you know each other or not, just join in the fun...
Liu Shishi has this kind of mentality...
Of course, nominally she is here to support her best friend Yang Xiaomi.
The two of them are the most well-known bestie duo on Weibo. They often post intimate photos and even have their own post. They are poetic and powerful, and they are always among the top ten topics!
Last year, during the Golden Eagle Goddess voting, Liu Shishi directly called on her fans to vote for Yang Xiaomi...
The relationship is stronger.
But...it also brings problems. The other two top players under Tianmei have always regarded Yang Xiaomi as a thorn in their side, and naturally they are also unhappy with Liu Shishi!
Especially Zhao Liying, last year's Golden Eagle Goddess, her votes were always on par with Yang Xiaomi, and Liu Shishi suddenly came in...
Therefore, after seeing Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying whispered to Zhang Hanyun next to her: "Really, it is obviously an internal party of our company, how come there are outsiders coming?"
Zhang Hanyun was stunned for a moment, then noticed Liu Shishi hugging Yang Xiaomi, dumbfounded: "She came here for her best friend!"
"...Haha, best friend..."
Zhao Liying rolled her eyes and was about to complain again when Zhang Hanyun pulled her back: "There are reporters taking pictures, so pay attention to your expression!"
Xiao Zhao quickly put on a smile and walked onto the red carpet with Zhang Hanyun...
…
"Xiao Zhao, you are the first actress I have signed with you, and you are also the only one so far. Do you know why?"
"…Why?"
"Because you have a strong energy, either you will be red or you will die! You are so cruel to yourself!"
Shen Xudong saw Zhao Liying and gave him a few words of encouragement...
In fact, there is no "energy" at all, it is mainly due to memory...
There are so many cruel artists - none of Hengdian's top ten perverted assistant directors look very human, and a bunch of extras are rushing towards them one after another...
Aren't they cruel enough to themselves?
But, is it useful?
Zhao Liying was very moved... and a little secretly happy, because she felt that she heard the implicit message - you are mine!
"Keep up the good work!"
Zhao Liying nodded vigorously, turned around and was about to leave, but met Tang Yan head-on... She immediately stopped smiling and passed by without even saying hello.
