Chapter 900 Senior Sister
"Why don't you find Zhang Zetian..."
"She seems to be out of the country...going to study at Columbia University!"
Well, the timeline matches!
In fact...if Tianmei company offers enough preferential conditions, I believe that the milk tea sister is willing to come to Tianmei for internship...
I won’t compete with Brother Dong...
"...Wait a minute, Chen Duling seems to be still in school, right? How can she be my assistant?"
"I mean her type!"
"...You can do whatever you want, but there's nothing wrong with being my assistant. I'd better let Xu Hui make a cameo first..."
"Has Qin Hong contacted you?"
"Hmm... But I talked with Director Chen and Director Zhang. Although they said 'not to interfere', I estimate that the film bureau will definitely intervene at the critical moment."
Chen Xi immediately asked: "What does the film bureau think?"
"What do you think? The increase in the number of screens represents the progress of the cultural industry..."
Chen Xi interrupted him directly: "What about the interests of the producers? It is a general trend for the development of the cultural industry to tilt towards content. Cinemas are projection institutions, and they can show Chinese and foreign films. If you don't have your own production, it will be shown every day. Watching Hollywood blockbusters is not developing the cultural industry, it is encouraging cultural invasion.
I would say that national policy should be geared towards filmmaking..."
"Haha...you are thinking too much!"
Chen Xi sounded very excited: "Have I thought too much? Nowadays, many theater chains are making movies. As the theater chains become more and more powerful, they use loopholes in the policy, such as promising huge sums of money, to attract the most famous directors and actors. Come here and monopolize the screening of their works, which will cut off resources, and those more cutting-edge directors and actors with ideas will not be able to come out..."
The theater chain’s right to speak has penetrated into the field of film production.
The so-called "policy loopholes" refer to antitrust...
Eh?
No, it feels like she is scolding herself?
Therefore, Shen Xudong quickly interrupted her: "We also have Jiahe Cinema!"
"But Jiahe Cinema ranks among the top five..."
Shen Xudong understood: "Are you talking about Wanda?"
"Yes, Wanda invited Jackie Chan to produce "Police Story" at a high price, as well as Keanu Reeves' "Man of Tai Chi"... In addition, they also invited Chen Hao to star in the "Pink Lady" movie!"
Shen Xudong was surprised: "The big movie "Pink Lady"? This thing has been around for more than ten years, has anyone watched it? And Chen Hao is already 34, can't he play "Pink Lady"?"
"Invite her to guest star for three days. How much do you think she was paid?"
"How many?"
"9 million, that's 3 million a day...I can't even refuse!"
“Before tax or after tax?”
"After tax, of course!"
9 million in three days is nothing. Fan Xiaopang made 60 million in three days!
Wanda is still not as good as those in 'finance'...
"The embarrassing situation we are facing now is that the foundation is not perfect, so we have to monopolize. One end develops faster, such as theater chains; but the other end develops very slowly, such as creation. If things go on like this, direct vertical monopoly and distribution integration will lead to the film field. It’s completely over, it’s become a game for just a few people!”
Shen Xudong shook his head and his tone became serious: "This is not something we can worry about... All we can do is make good movies... and comply with the policies above!"
Chen Xi sighed: "Okay...I understand!"
"…Um…"
…
In fact, the Chinese film industry is very small. Let’s put it this way, there are only a handful of people who can publish novels, make movies, and draw paintings. They are all people in the inner circle. Whether you can squeeze into this circle depends on reincarnation, luck, and dog-licking. It’s all very relevant…
In the past, if you wanted to make movies, you had to be reincarnated into a director's family, or at least that's what you did at home...
Now is actually an opportunity!
At least for new directors, it’s an excellent opportunity!
The market is very willing to tolerate new directors.
For Shen Xudong, paying attention to the content is king!
…
Chen Hao appeared in a TV series this year, "Mufu", which was broadcast exclusively on CCTV with a ratings of over 3. He is also CCTV's ratings champion this year - the only work with an average ratings of over 3!
It is also the TV series with the highest ratings of the year - surpassing Mango Channel's "Palace Lock Bead Curtain"...
Chen Hao worked well with Wang Juan and Yu Rongguang, and they have booked to continue their partnership in "Legend of Dance".
This year she appeared in a movie "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" and it was just a guest appearance. However, "The Hunger Games" gave her some international fame...
However, her role in "The Hunger Games" is a supporting role after all, and her influence is weak.
Recently, she was approached for a movie with a pretty good script, "Blind Witness"...
She thought it was all pretty good.
But she has also been very busy recently - not to be polite, she has taken on two Hollywood movies, "Split" and "The Art of Demons" (reverse remake), both of which were introduced by Shen Xudong!
They are also horror thrillers...
After "Split" is deleted, it may be released in the mainland, but "The Art of Demons" probably won't be able to...
"Split" is a movie about split personality, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, and starring Chen Hao as a psychiatrist. When she discovers that the male protagonist Kevin suffers from schizophrenia, she becomes obsessed with Kevin's multiple personalities. The special phenomenon of superpowers greatly interested her. She used various unfair means to begin to study Kevin's split personality, and conducted in-depth research on it in an attempt to make an academic breakthrough...
Well, he’s a villain!
"The Art of Demons", she is the absolute heroine.
The plot revolves around a family whose mistress uses "black witchcraft" to take revenge. It tells the story of a millionaire and his family who were murdered mysteriously and strangely...
The first part is about psychics, the second part is about evil...
The original version is a Thai horror film, and the remake was proposed by James Wan.
But whether it's psychic or evil, it all belongs to feudal superstition and is unlikely to be released in the mainland!
Back to the subject, Chen Haoman liked "Blind Witness" and she thought this book was interesting.
Shen Xudong had a different opinion: "This is a story about a murderer targeting a blind girl. What's the point?"
"There are not many opportunities to play a blind person, and I am already 35 this year!"
"Nonsense, it's obviously 34!"
Oh, the senior sister has returned to China. She has finished filming "The Hunger Games 2" and "Split". Next month she will go to San Bernardino County in California to film "The Art of the Devil" - the reason why she chose San Bernardino Nadino, although there are not many Asians here, Filipinos and Thais account for more than 50% of Asians...
As for tax rebates, the total cost is US$3 million, and a gross tax rebate is considered.
Chen Hao rolled his eyes at him and patted his evil right hand: "...Don't touch it..."
Shen Xudong ignored her and simply stepped forward...
…
After changing into Shen Xudong's white shirt, Chen Hao sat on the sofa, glanced at Shen Xudong who was watching TV, and suddenly said: "Let me ask you something!"
"What's wrong?"
"...I saw a scandal two days ago, saying that you and Fan Xiaopang were in the hotel?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Xudong nodded: "...we are indeed in the same hotel."
"Then what's your relationship with her?"
"...Called friends."
Shen Xudong talked about the situation of PPTV and added: "It is a general trend for online video platforms to produce self-made dramas. Please don't persuade me to give up!"
Chen Hao waved his hand: "I'm not interested in these..."
"...I will continue watching TV..."
Chen Hao suddenly remembered something and said: "Hey, you just said that streaming media can subvert traditional TV stations, but what about movies?"
"…Movie?"
"Yes, you said that mobile phones and tablets can replace TV sets, but can they replace movie theaters?"
Shen Xudong turned to look at her: "Why do you have such a view?"
"Just tell me if you can."
“It’s hard to say, but I feel that streaming media, especially live streaming media, the characteristics of real-time transmission of Internet content, are more like television than movies.
Streaming media has had a much greater impact on television than movies.
People who love movies will continue to watch movies. But people who love watching TV are expected to gradually move to the Internet. "
