Chapter 767 Why Didn’t You Ask About the Box Office?

What Shen Xudong thought was going on at the premiere: A group of media asked about the situation of the movie, or asked about unforgettable experiences during filming...

He had thought about it and was going to praise Donnie Yen's acting skills.

Reality: No one asked about the movie itself. They all asked about "The Grandmaster". Did the Golden Lion Award go through a back door?

"Take the back door?"

"Zhang Weiping said it. He said you have a good relationship with the chairman of the jury..."

"Bullshit," Shen Xudong shook his head: "First of all, I don't know Darren Aronofsky... Secondly, what else can Zhang Weiping do besides promoting Zhang Yimou all day long?

Promoting people like fools and paying back the cost of 600 million is like the industry doesn't know the price tag of Joss Williams' team, and they also invited Bell for 20 million US dollars... I have tried to cooperate with Bell several times! I know exactly what his price is! "

"Finally, I want to ask, does he mean that "The Sun Also Rises" didn't win the award because Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen have a bad relationship?"

Zhang Weiping came out to lead the topic...

The biggest topic recently is that Shen Xudong won the Golden Lion Award. Zhang Weiping first expressed his disdain: "What is the Golden Lion Award? This is what we get for the rest. As for such publicity, it is just like Fan Jin won the exam!"

Then he said: "Shen Xudong has a good relationship with those people in Hollywood. There must be something fishy behind this. You should check it out!"

It's quite normal. He has always believed that if Yi is in his hands, he can challenge anyone in the world, let alone Shen Xudong. He also described Hanshanping as a mountain eagle.

Well, Shen Xudong is the biggest topic now. Zhang Weiping, for the purpose of promoting "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", is making a topic. It is understandable... nonsense!

The more Shen Xudong thought about it, the angrier he became: "I think a big international director like Zhang Yimou needs a more professional producer to help him manage his movies, rather than an upstart who only knows how to make a fool of himself!"

"You mean Zhang Weiping is a nouveau riche?"

"Without Zhang Yimou, he is nothing. Only with Zhang Yimou, people would call him Producer Zhang. Without Zhang Yimou, who would care about him?"

"Will Tianmei Media sign Zhang Yimou?"

Shen Xudong looked at Gao Fenfen, who answered: "Of course... Director Zhang is a mature director, good at business and literature, and has his own stylized image expression... The most important thing is that his movies rarely suffer losses, and basically all It’s profit…”

Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I want to sign a contract...

After Ah Mou had a falling out with his investors, he didn't need to make blockbusters like "The City of Gold" and "The Great Wall", but he could make movies with low investment like "The Hawthorn Tree" and "The Return".

A small film company, or even a rich man, can solve the need for filming funds...

Such filmmakers are simply the favorites of investors!

Then the media asked about Tianmei Media’s contact with Zhang Yimou...

This made Shen Xudong a little embarrassed: Do you guys still remember that this was the premiere of "The Grandmaster"?

Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last long. After all, he was the central figure in today's premiere. The media immediately handed over the microphone. Shen Xudong smiled and listened to his question: "Xudong, have you ever considered the number of three people in the United States?" How many actresses have you had close contact with over the years?"

"…I…"

Damn it, uncle, will you ask questions?

Do you understand what publicity hot spots are?

…

Well, who made the "Walking" broadcast by PPTV so influential? In order to show his affinity, Shen Xudong told a lot of secrets and even admitted his experience of learning foreign languages...

Many netizens, including the media, who watched "The Walking Dead" have no interest in Shen Xudong's study of filmmaking and industrialization. They only remember "learning foreign languages, learning French, German and English with a British accent!" ’

Shen Xudong also told the truth: Hollywood really has no shortage of human resources. Young actresses from all over the United States and even Europe who want to make a name for themselves in Hollywood all want to become famous overnight...

There are a lot of boys and girls who only have a good skin with a beautiful logo, are uneducated, have no future in college, and dream of being stars all day long.

But most of them are not irreplaceable.

What to do?

The only thing you can rely on is your body!

It is like saying outright that I have indeed been romantic and happy for three years!

Then, some good people went over the wall to collect information on overseas reports, and found out nearly 20 international friends who had had close contact with Shen Xudong!

All girls with long legs and big bears!

Well, Shen Xudong's aesthetic is very tacky: long legs, good looks, big waves...

Well, aesthetics are the same all over the world - before political correctness became popular, the word fair-skinned and beautiful was specifically used to describe beautiful women.

But Shen Xudong's list includes almost all the post-85s Hollywood actresses who have been associated with sexiness in recent years...

This is too much!

There have even been rumors of affairs with three of the four Hollywood beauties - Amanda Seyfried, Emma Roberts, Blake Lively...

You are really attacking the United States!

Fortunately, no Kristen Stewart…

Otherwise, it will definitely affect the subsequent results of "Twilight", and Shen Xudong will never allow this to happen!

…

At Shen Xudong's strong request, the media still asked about "The Grandmaster". Shen Xudong thanked Donnie Yen very much: "After "Ip Man" became popular, Donnie Yen's salary increased to more than 20 million. Generally speaking, three One movie per month, that is to say, he gave "The Grandmaster" eight months, which was enough for him to make three movies... He made 50 million less!"

"The production cost of "The Grandmaster" was about 70 million, because I used the best behind-the-scenes lineup. I hired Rodrigo Prieto and Song Xiaofei for photography, and Yuan Baye for action design..."

"...Overseas copyrights are selling well, with US$8 million sold in North America, Europe, and a split distribution contract signed with MK2 Company...Southeast Asia is handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution, and South Korea...continues to cooperate with CJ, and the rights of Nippon Benz have not been sold yet ...Toei wants to buy it out, but we have some differences on the price..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong looked expectant. He was waiting for the media to ask questions about box office predictions. He was ready with the classic answer of "500 million is not too small, and one billion is not too much." Then the next media asked: "What do you think of fans?" Movie?"

"ah?"

"There is a movie called "The Great Warrior" at the same time as "The Grandmaster", which focuses on Han Geng... The industry believes that Han Geng is more popular than Yang Xiaomi, and "The Great Warrior" is likely to set a new box office record for fan movies!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "I sit and watch...how can I watch?"

How to watch fan movies?

How do you answer this thing?

After thinking about it for a while, he said seriously: "Movies have commodity attributes, especially commercial films. The so-called commercial attributes are selling points. Some sell stories, some sell feelings, some sell stunts, and some sell idols... Then Since it is a fan film, I think the general audience should not watch it, and especially film critics should not pay attention to it. You are not its target audience, so as not to feel uncomfortable!"
