Chapter 365 Album Press Conference
Shen Xudong wants to recruit a few tool men...
Zheng Baorui is not a perfect candidate, but...it's okay.
His execution ability is very strong, and he cut more than 20 versions of "Accident" from the original time and space...
This is the kind of director Shen Xudong wants!
Don’t have too many personal expressions…
Zheng Baorui will most likely accept it. After all, the script of "The Old Man" is indeed good.
In addition, he later joined Galaxy Image...
Pulling it over can be considered a weakening.
Galaxy Image has recruited many good directors, including You Dazhi, who was also recruited by Shen Xudong.
You Dazhi made the investors unhappy because of the filming of "Dark Flower", so Johnnie To had to reshoot...
As for what's wrong?
It is unknown. Judging from Galaxy’s parallel slogan of commercial art when it was founded, as well as Galaxy’s financial difficulties in those years, it can be seen that perhaps You Dazhi was too personal in his expression.
Then, You Dazhi was almost abandoned...
"Dark Flower" is quite good. The cramped space and cold sense of fate give this movie a different temperament from Hong Kong movies at that time or even later.
The creation of a symbolic atmosphere is completely different from the usual methods of Hong Kong films...
But it’s of no use, not selling is the original sin!
You Dazhi left the Milky Way.
In fact, it is normal. Galaxy Image highlights Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai. Johnnie To is the signature, and other main creators are more or less ignored. It is difficult for You Dazhi to be reused!
After You Dazhi left Galaxy, he returned to Malaysia to film a TV series.
Recently, I also cooperated with TVB to film "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Rain and the Clouds"...
Later, I went north to develop my career and filmed "The Stranger", "The Master Wu Xin", and yes, "The Mekong River"...
Both of these people can be recruited!
Talking back to "The Old Man", the heroine is directly matched with Gong Li...
As the male protagonist, I guess I have to use Deng Chao.
The cost is 40 million, and half of the cost can be recovered from the revenue from patch advertising.
If the overseas distribution is handed over to Jiahe, the probability of making money is quite high!
Of course, Tianmei Company is in charge of production and will bring together several powerful companies...
This was Gao Fenfen's suggestion. Her original words: "Our company can operate completely independently. We have funds, scripts, distribution capabilities, and we can also attract funds... Find a few directors and shoot it ourselves!"
Shen Xudong also deeply agrees...
The most important thing is that "The Wife" is a series, and the copyright is very valuable!
Of course, Shen Xudong also had other insurance measures. He reminded Gao Fenfen: "Invite a few investors and ask them to sign the priority payment system..."
"Priority refund system?"
Shen Xudong explained: "Literally... As the copyright holder, we can take you to play, but we must ensure that our funds are returned first... By the way, we also ensure 20% of the profit, which means that as long as it is released, our income is guaranteed to be 20%…”
"This is too harsh...who would agree?"
"...This is very common in the field of finance and investment. Some people want to invest in movies. We take them to play. We don't cheat them, but the contract is harsh...it's very cheap for them!"
…
In the original time and space, the priority payment system was applied for the first time in Galloping Horse, "Roboman"!
Although "Roboman" ended up with an overall loss in the film, Galloping Pony became the only investor to make money in the entire film.
Because the copyright of "Roboman" belongs to Galloping Pony, and director Liu Zhenwei is also a contracted director of Galloping Horse, if you want to invest in the movie, you must follow this priority payment contract!
If you think it's unfair, you don't have to vote.
The same goes for "Lao Qian"...
Of course, there is a casting condition for all this: convincing Gong Li to star!
After "Memoirs of a Geisha" was released, Gong Li's agency gave her a Hollywood production, "Miami Vice"...
How to persuade her to return her career focus to China requires Shen Xudong's efforts!
Well, he flew to the United States specially...
…
Chen Hao's album is named "Chen Hao"...
The company has no idea about album sales - last year, only three albums in China, Jay Chou, Pu Shu, and Daolang, sold more than 1 million copies. Others' albums only need to sell 200,000 or 300,000 to be considered a particularly popular album. Zhao Yanzi It's so popular that last year's "Gone with the Wind" only sold 500,000...
If it can exceed 100,000, the cost will be recovered.
If it exceeds 100,000, it can continue to operate.
Buy a few prizes, run an amphibious superstar or something...
The reputation is very useful. You can get more appearance fees when doing business performances or visiting acupuncture points!
Album launch…
I originally wanted to do a singing and dancing style - learning from the most popular Jolin Tsai.
But after looking at the entire album, it was either jazz music style or elegant folk song style, so forget it, a swing was arranged at the scene, and Chen Hao just wore a white skirt and sang her favorite "Leo"...
Shen Xudong plays the guitar next to him...
‘…Just this time, I don’t want to be a eulogist; if you can, you can also write a song for me…Please don’t ask what month Capricorn is, please don’t say, only friendship can live forever…”
After singing this, she got off the swing, walked to Shen Xudong, and stared at him...
It made Shen Xudong feel a little worried. Could it be that she wanted to force the kiss in public?
Fortunately, it didn’t happen. I just looked at him to signal him to come over...
Shen Xudong had no choice but to come out from the corner with his guitar in his arms, hold her hand, and then the audience screamed.
After all, there are still many CP fans of these two!
But it only took a while, and according to the procedure, Chen Hao sang five songs in a row, "The Possible Night", "The Most Angel", "Elopement" and "The Wind Blowing the Wheat Waves"...
The response from the scene was quite good…
Then it was time for a bunch of seniors and friends in the industry to send blessings. Sun Nan, Tong Dawei, Xue Jianing, and Lu Yi all came...
Everyone sent flowers and said some auspicious words, such as "It sounds great" and "The album is a big seller" and so on.
It’s all a fixed process!
Finally, it is time for routine media interviews.
"Many actors release albums because they need to sing when participating in some programs or activities. Is this the same for you?"
"...Of course not...I have liked it since I was a child..."
"As a newcomer, you seem to be very invested in this album? Do you think that as an actor, you can let the fans pay for it?"
"This also shows how much I value the album..."
Let me go, these questions are quite sharp!
Shen Xudong stood aside throughout the whole process, chatting with Zhang Qidong - the producer of "Chen Hao" is Zhang Qidong.
Ahem, Shen Xudong has always longed for Zhang Aidong's circle. That is a circle. Men and women can be arranged in various combinations. After the incident, they are still good friends with each other. This is something that even Japanese movies don't dare to make like this!
So artistic.
Zhang Qidong likes Shen Xudong very much, because Shen Xudong is also very talented. Unfortunately, they just chatted briefly for a while and did not reach the point of falling in love with each other at first sight!
We hit it off immediately and made an appointment to play mahjong, and then we could get to know Wang Fei.
What?
Wang Fei is not good-looking, he has no breasts and no butt...
This is called chasing stars, you know nothing!
Leng Buding heard a media interview: "Xudong, the box office of "Cruel Streets" in Asia exceeded 80 million, what is the next plan?"
"...Huh? This is Sister Chen Hao's album launch conference. Are you asking this?"
