Chapter 854 Unit of Measurement (34)
In June, Tianmei announced its US$500 million investment in Hollywood on its official website...
They also announced the film list, which is basically all animated movies, including "Despicable Me 2", "Minions" and "The Secret Life of Pets" from Illumination Entertainment, as well as "The Croods" and "Genius" from DreamWorks , "How to Train Your Dragon 2", and live-action movies include "Jurassic Park 4", "Interstellar", "The Martian" and "Gravity"...
Shen Xudong posted an explanation on Weibo: "The reason why I invest in these movies is that on the one hand I am optimistic about them, and on the other hand I will also arrange for dedicated people to go and learn...to learn from foreigners and learn skills!"
Without an explanation, a bunch of media labeled him a 'traitor' and a 'comprador'...
I'm really speechless. Some time ago, I called him blindly confident, and now I'm calling him a traitor?
However, the secondary market is very optimistic about this investment, and Tianmei Media’s market value has experienced a surge...
It was just an intention, not even confirmed, and the stock price immediately rose!
No wonder there are scam news like "The Russo Brothers join hands with Fang Jin Film History to create "Captain China""!
Shi Jianxiang also created a strange combination of Mel Gibson and Li Qiankuan - "The Big Bang", Mel Gibson and Li Qiankuan served as art directors...
As soon as the photos were released and the press release was publicized, hot money came immediately!
There are really a lot of fools out there!
As for the movie?
The purpose of making movies is to make money. Now that you have made money, why do you still make movies?
…
On June 4th, "The Hunt" premieres...
It’s a Cannes award-winning film, and its reputation is not bad, but its main promotion investment is very strong.
The publicity cost is close to 30 million, which is almost the same as the film production cost!
Online media, TV media, app clients, offline physical stores and other multi-level customers launched a full range of bundled marketing, and even Director Chen appeared on "Tian Tian Shang Shang"...
There is no other way. For promotion, you have to appear on variety shows!
"Antenna Up" is at least a bit more compelling than "Happy Camp".
After all, "Tian Tian Shang Shang" has not yet become a poor man's version of Kuai Ben...
Back to the topic, on the first day of the release of "Hunting", domestic theaters gave 30% of the film schedule - nearly 18,000 times per show!
In March, less than 20% of the films scheduled for "Sister Tao" were scheduled, and less than 8% of the films scheduled for "Me 11" on May 1st...
Talking back to "Hunting", the story is very simple: a little girl's lie almost destroyed a person!
The male protagonist is a kindergarten teacher, and the children like him very much.
Until one day a girl accidentally hinted to the principal that the male protagonist had molested her.
With everyone's encouragement, he was considered a pervert by everyone around him, including his good friends (the girl's parents) and girlfriend.
Although the girl later explained repeatedly that nothing happened.
But no one wanted to believe her explanation.
Until the loopholes in the incident were discovered and the lie was revealed, everyone seemed to accept the innocence of the male protagonist.
The ending of the film is meaningful: even though a year has passed since the incident, the male protagonist was shot coldly when he went hunting.
At the end, the man who fired the cold gun stood in the sunshine from a high place. The hero could not even see his face clearly, only the cold white sun...
The intention of this composition is too obvious: those rumors can be spread by anyone. He brings cold hurt to others with his self-righteous moral high light, and he turns around and leaves lightly.
He didn't even know that the hero was innocent.
But whether the male protagonist is innocent or not, what does it matter to him? He is just responsible for hunting!
This movie is very cruel...
It makes people shudder!
As long as you take a closer look, you will understand what your neighbors do...
Therefore, when some media asked, "The film is extremely extreme in amplifying the malice in ordinary life..."
Shen Xudong immediately replied: "This example is not extreme at all, nor does it amplify the malice. If your neighbor was the hero, what would you do?"
Before the reporter could answer, Shen Xudong continued: "...It's just that most of us may never encounter a neighbor suspected of having sex with children in our lives, and we won't have the opportunity to show our infinitely magnified malice! This plot is actually very common, I imagine. After this beginning, the rest came out naturally, I didn’t even think about it…”
Fumino also chimed in: "Yes, after I adapted the script and wrote the scenes, the journey was particularly smooth..."
"...Teacher Chen Daoming, what do you think?"
Director Chen thought for a while and then replied: "Actually, when I read the script, I was already thinking about what I should do if something like this happened to me... After thinking about it, I couldn't think of a better way to prove myself... He is an innocent person. person, but he can't find anyone to fight back! Who can he scold? Who can he hit? Because everyone's hatred comes from love, and their disgust and malice towards him are all out of protecting that little girl, and Worried that something unexpected will happen, there is no hatred, just too many misunderstandings. How should you deal with your emotions? There is only anger..."
"Then why did he end up being shot coldly? And who fired the cold shot?"
“A lot of words make a fortune, but accumulation of words makes a fortune. The power of rumors and prejudice is not so easy to eliminate...”
Wen Mino interjected: "Did you see who shot? I couldn't see him. He was on the high ground, he was in the sun."
Then...some media asked: ""Hunting" feels very similar to "Search". They are both about the success of the show. The two themes are very similar!"
Finally someone asked a question!
Shen Xudong deliberately remained silent for a while, and then said: "The focus of "Search" is human flesh search and... love. "Hunting" is more realistic. The story takes place in a small town, which is more intuitive..."
"What does the director think?"
Wen Muye was a little embarrassed, and Shen Xudong helped him out: "...Don't embarrass him..."
Wen Muye is not Shen Xudong. If he comments on the work of a great director in public, something will happen!
Several reporters said: "Then when we report, we will compare and analyze "Hunting" and "Search"..."
"It's up to you. After the movie is released, the creators can only listen to the reactions. What kind of interpretation the audience has has nothing to do with us!"
…
The box office of "The Hunt" on the first day was 14 million, successfully winning the single-day box office championship, followed by "Men in Black 3" with 10.35 million, and "Avengers" with a box office of 2.32 million...
"Why Shengxiao is Silent" has a single-day box office of less than RMB 30,000 - it was already scheduled to be released, so didn't you get the key to postpone it?
The cumulative box office is 382 million...
Surpassing "When a Man Loves", it temporarily ranks first in the annual box office of domestic films.
Talking about "The Hunt", the box office in a single day was 14 million...
Not bad, after all, June 4th is a Monday
At the same time, in terms of publicity, "Search" has become a unit of measurement. The titles of major media are basically: ""Hunting" is much crueler than "Search", "Compared with "Search", I prefer to watch "Search" Hunting", at least it's more real! ', 'After watching "Hunting" and then watching "Search", I feel that the latter is a love fairy tale! ’
Hmm... This is no longer a comparison, it's just a promotion based on "Search"...
It doesn't matter, Brother Chen Kai has a lot of blood anyway, what can happen if he steps on it once or twice?
You can't just send a lawyer's letter over such a trivial matter, right?
What's more, he is a judge of "I Am an Actor" - 22 million invitations to join!
