Shen Xudong is receiving the crew...
The crew of "A Little Thing About First Love" is directed by Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin. After these two teamed up together, starting from "Perfect", they filmed three chick-lit movies in a row, "Very Lucky", "Very Surprise"...
The box office of the trilogy is okay, basically stable at around 150 million. Of course, the reputation is relatively poor, with a Douban score of less than 6 points!
Then, at Shen Xudong's suggestion, the two changed their track - youth movies!
The first one is "A Little Thing About First Love".
Of course it is impossible to film according to the original version - Xiao Shui is a junior high school student and A Liang is a high school student. As for this one, if it were based on the original version, it would probably not pass the review, so it was changed to the second year of high school, and the first love was also a secret love...
It tells a beautiful story about an ordinary girl who was inconspicuous in the crowd and started to change herself because she fell in love with her monitor.
The final confession was on the day of graduation...
It is scheduled to be released in early December - it's not that I don't want to release it in November, the November schedule is too tight, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", "Iron Fist", "The Adventures of Tintin", and "God of War", four Hollywood blockbusters!
In addition, there are also "East and West 2011", "Yang Clan Female General's Military Orders Like a Mountain"...
It might as well be released in early December!
By the way, in November, the company released "Hello!" Mr. Tree" and "The Twilight Saga 3", both of which did not do well at the box office...
Now... I regret it a lot, because no matter "The East Makes the West 2011" or "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Family", their reputation is terrible, and their market performance is also a mess...
We should really arrange for the release of "A Little Thing About First Love"!
But December is not bad either. There are two big productions in the Lunar New Year this year, "Jinling" will be released on December 12, and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be released on December 23. There is an interval of 11 days in between. They are basically sure to dominate the entire Lunar New Year period. , then, before "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is released, "First Love" should be able to dominate the market.
Although there are Li Rengang's "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" and Huang Baiming's "Happy Magic"...
After "Seeing the Dragon and Disarming", Li Rengang's reputation in the mainland is very bad. Even Liu Yifei is not afraid of it!
As for "Happy Magic" - this is a movie that made Huang Zhonglei directly criticize Huang Baiming as a stinky idiot: Huang Baiming and Hua Yi signed three movies, but in the end only two movies, "Happy Magic" and "Zhonglie Yang Family General", were released. It was also because of the disastrous box office failure of "Happy Magic" that Hua Yi ignored "The Loyal Yang Family General"...
Back to the subject, Shen Xudong chatted with the two directors about youth themes for a while, and then said: "Actually, there are many best-selling books on the market that are suitable for adaptation..."
Su Lun asked, "What about?"
""Left Ear", "Secret Fruit", "To Our Fading Youth", "The Year in a Hurry"..."
"...Have you seen it?"
"No," Shen Xudong quickly shook his head: "They collected it, I just remembered the name!"
It must be denied immediately...
If they knew that Shen Xudong had read this kind of book and was once obsessed with it, that would be too shameful!
"Youth genre movie..."
Shen Xudong nodded and did some popular science by the way: "In the 1980s and 1990s, youth movies were very popular in Hollywood, and Tom Cruise made his career through such movies!"
""The Good Boy Is Crazy"?"
"Yes, there is also "Loss of Virginity"... However, those are all with the idea of sexual liberation. If we produce it, the focus will be on recalling, recreating the boyhood of those born in the 80s and 90s, and letting them return to the past on the big screen... "
While he was chatting enthusiastically, the staff came over and told him that Zhang Chaoyang was here!
Shen Xudong was surprised: "Who?"
"Zhang Chaoyang..."
"Is he alone?"
"...and his secretary..."
"...Then...I'll go see him!"
He turned to Su Lun and Yin Ruoxin and said, "You two are just strolling around. I have something else to do, so I won't entertain you!"
Oh, the lead actor Reba didn’t come over...
…
"Mr. Zhang...I have admired you for a long time!"
Seeing Zhang Chaoyang, Shen Xudong said hello first and observed secretly...
He's quite tall. Why do I think he's quite short?
Well, it does look a lot like Teddy Robin...
"Mr. Shen..."
Shen Xudong took him to the living room, where the staff made a pot of tea.
"I almost forgot, Mr. Zhang, do you want tea? I also have coffee here, authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans...just need to be ground into powder..."
"Do you have Blue Mountain coffee?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, they gave it to me..."
As he spoke, he opened the drawer and called the employees to prepare for them to grind coffee and brew it. Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand: "I like to do it myself!"
"…Then please!"
Shen Xudong doesn't care, he doesn't like drinking coffee...
Sitting aside and watching Zhang Chaoyang, the latter grinded coffee and talked about his experience of studying in the United States.
However, Shen Xudong remembered the story of Zhang Chaoyang and Chen Xiaowei. Chen Xiaowei was also a female entrepreneur and the former president of The9 City. She later left her job to join the entertainment company Orange Sky Company...
The9 is very impressive. During the heyday of "World of Warcraft" (2004-2009), The9 relied on its exclusive agency rights for the mainland of "World of Warcraft" to make tens of billions at a time. cash.
Boss Zhu Jun has never had much control over Ninetowns' operations.
Anyway, "World of Warcraft" brings in millions of revenue every day, and Blizzard does not let Ninetowns interfere with the game content. Zhu Jun is free and leaves the company's daily routine to the female president Chen Xiaowei, and goes to play football...
Back to Chen Xiaowei, Shen Xudong has seen her, she is a very charming woman!
It is said that Zhang Chaoyang hooked up with her when he was in the United States. You must know that Chen Xiaowei was a married woman at the time.
Later, Zhang Chaoyang returned to China, and Chen Xiaowei abandoned her newlywed husband and followed Zhang Chaoyang back to China...
However, during Sohu's initial stage, it encountered a global recession. At this time, Chen Xiaowei left Zhang Chaoyang...
Thinking of this, Zhang Chaoyang's story is finished: "...In 1996, I founded Aitexin Company..."
Atesin launched Sohu in 1998 and then changed its name to Sohu. On July 12, 2000, Sohu was successfully listed on NASDAQ in the United States...
Shen Xudong smiled and nodded: "I have read many reports about you, and I know all of them..."
"I've also read some of your reports...I feel like you don't like exposure very much?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "I used to enjoy the spotlight..."
"and after?"
"I was warned for saying something wrong. Plus, I was obsessed with horse breeding and fishing at that time, so I simply stopped pursuing these things!"
"Feeding horses, fishing..." Zhang Chaoyang looked at him, and then said with a smile: "Then you should be able to talk to Ding Sanshi very well!"
"We can't talk about it!" Shen Xudong shook his head: "In 2006, when our game business first started, we thought about asking NetEase to help with distribution. The commission was too high, so we simply cooperated with Perfect World, and later established our own distribution channel with the help of PPTV..."
