In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 386 Propaganda

In the original time and space, Jiang Wen went to "Produce 101" to promote the movie "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right", and he also brought Peng Yuyan, Liao Fan...

What is the effect?

Not great, except for gaining a lot of bad feelings from a lot of 101 fans...

Not only was it inappropriate, Jiang Wen didn’t do any work in advance, and he didn’t know anything about the program...

I don’t even understand what Creation 101 means!

Extremely sloppy…

Shen Xudong is self-aware. Even if he knows "Super Girl", he will definitely make the audience angry by occupying other people's stage so hastily.

So, act a little more frightened...

The effect is okay.

At least the reports on the next day were basically ‘Shen Xudong angrily scolded Ke Yimin’…

Ke Yimin is very popular - he commented that Li Yuchun "can't go far", and commented that Zhang Liangying "pretends to be innocent"...

What they sell is the attribute of poisonous tongue!

But she may have misunderstood that venomous tongues are not bullying;

No matter what, Shen Xudong has completed his task. By the way, the media also wrote that Shen Xudong is attracted to Li Yuchun!

God, you can't insult Shen Xudong's aesthetics like this.

Besides, can Shen Xudong take her away if he likes her?

After "Super Girl" ended, Li Yuchun came to BJ to choose music companies to cooperate with, and then all the music companies put up banners - Li Yuchun was welcome to come and inspect!

Shen Xudong cannot dig into such popularity.

The box office of "Seven Swords" in the second week was 16 million...

After two weeks of release, the cumulative box office was 43 million—referring to the data of the original time and space!

For a major production costing US$25 million, this result is definitely a huge loss.

Even if you include overseas results, it probably won’t be enough...

The reason is quite simple. The audience's criticism of the film is getting louder and louder...

The reputation is so bad!

Shen Xudong was quite curious, because Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" was released on August 8, and "Seven Swords" was already in such a state of decline. How did it achieve a box office of 83 million?

Then he knew - "War of the Worlds" was withdrawn on August 25th!

No wonder…

Riding a horse, I had the screening room to myself for nearly 30 days!

That's it, you haven't broken 100 million yet?

It’s no wonder that after “Seven Swords”, Xu Ke didn’t touch martial arts for five years and probably couldn’t find investors.

Oh, the situation in "Seven Swords" was not what Shen Xudong was actively concerned about. When Liang Jiahui was discussing Xu Ke with Gong Li, he was the publicist who listened and asked by the way.

Liang Jiahui and Xu Ke have cooperated for many years. Liang Jiahui's first starring movie after the ban was lifted, "Dragnet", was produced by Xu Ke. Later, he also starred in "Laser Man" and "A Better Tomorrow 3" produced by the film studio...

Of course, the ones that the public is more familiar with are "New Longmen Inn", "The King of Chess" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".

Gong Li has never cooperated with Xu Ke.

"Back then, in "Green Snake", he came to me and said that Anita Mui would play Green Snake. Unfortunately, I liked Brigitte Lin so much that I rejected "Green Snake" and went to film "Dragon"..."

"Do you like Brigitte Lin?"

"Um…"

Speaking of this, Gong Li sighed: "It's a pity that I have never cooperated with Xu Ke!"

"There will be opportunities, and it's not like I won't stop filming in the future!"

The two talked for a long time...

Director Chen drank tea quietly, while Li Xiaolu lowered her head and sent text messages...

This is backstage at a promotional event.

Liang Jiahui looked at Shen Xudong, who was dozing off in a chair: "Why are you so sleepy?"

Shen Xudong sat up straight: "...I didn't sleep well last night, so I was writing!"

"Write something?"

"...Director Chen Musheng asked me to write a script. The framework was already set, and then he gave me some baggage according to the framework."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"…fine…"

Well, from beginning to end, Shen Xudong never glanced at Gong Li...

This acting skill is amazing!

Director Chen looked at him and frowned: "If you can't stay up late, don't stay up late... I know I have to promote the next day, but I still write for so long..."

"Director Chen is urging me urgently..."

Director Chen suggested: "We will promote it later, why don't you go up there?"

"...That won't work. Director Er Dongsheng will come only the day after tomorrow..."

"Witness by All" initially wanted to be directed by McDonald, but unfortunately, he had no interest in movies anymore. After many twists and turns, he found Er Dongsheng.

Gong Li also chimed in: "It's okay, three...four of us are enough!"

"...Then I'll take a nap!"

Shen Xudong no longer refuses...

"Witness" is also heavily promoted. Director Chen, Gong Li, and Liang Jiahui are all great actors well-known on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The cost is 80 million, a standard blockbuster!

——These days, if you don’t boast that you are a blockbuster when promoting, you are disrespecting the audience, because the audience needs to watch blockbusters.

Li Xiaolu…

Shen Xudong didn't really want to get in touch with him, but it just so happened that Li Xiaolu didn't have any thoughts about him. She liked a ruffian man who could rap. Now he's called a rock fan, but later he was into hip-hop...

Well, it’s not like I like it, it’s probably just a coffee mentality.

If you don’t understand, just go to nightclubs more often.

Let go a little and blend in a little. It won't take a few days to have a similar experience.

You will get drunk while drinking, and you will take off your clothes while playing;

And you may be confused yourself after it happens...I am not such a person...Why...oh, I regret it so much...

Then next time someone asks you to go to a nightclub, you happily agree: go, go, go, you are depressed.

In fact, she and Shen Xudong are a perfect match - a scumbag and a prodigal.

But we Xudong think we are good people...

By the way, it's true that director Chen Musheng asked for a script, "Baby Project"!

Produced by Jiahe, starring two generations of Jiahe superstars: Xu Guanwen and Jackie Chan, plus Louis Koo.

I heard Director Chen tell me that the idea for this story was provided by Jackie Chan. When Jackie Chan was filming "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", he called him and asked for a script about children...

Then, Shen Xudong wrote "Baby Project".

Of course, this took less than five hours from start to finish...

After all, Shen Xudong remembers the lines of "Baby Project" so well...

Just as they were falling asleep, the group returned to the backstage... Shen Xudong quickly sat up: "Is it over?"

"Um…"

Director Chen suddenly became angry: "Where did we find the host? He actually asked us what we thought of "Seven Swords"!"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Isn't this propaganda? "Initial D", "Seven Swords", and "Witness" are three summer blockbusters... Everyone is looking forward to a movie with a box office of over 100 million..."

"Then you shouldn't ask so directly..."

"It's okay...I won't use him next time!"

After chatting for a while, several people left the backstage and got into the business car.

Shen Xudong calculated it, and his trip was almost over...

I can finally have a peaceful sleep, so happy!

Huang Bin, who is in charge of publicity, said: "The premiere will be held tomorrow..."

"Are there still going to be premieres?"

"...It's what the media needs to report!"
