Chapter 521: Foresight and Persuasion

Mommy Liu chatted with Gong Li enthusiastically...

Gong Li’s status still exists!

In addition, the Huayi brothers tried to sign Gong Li, but she refused.

Huayi's reputation is really bad in the industry - the so-called one-brother-one-sister system was publicly scolded by Li Xiaowan: "It's like a brothel in the old society..."

They sign actors and then turn them into stars. What is their purpose?

Is it mainly about creating dreams?

Of course not. In fact, the main purpose of Huayi's celebrities is for socializing.

It can be used for own use or added to others.

It is normal in the industry for female celebrities to accompany their bosses to wine parties. Which of the female celebrities in Huayi did not come here like this?

Taking advantage of the drinking party and the drunkenness, the boss took the opportunity to touch and hug her. These are all trivial matters.

Touching and hugging is a test, and not resisting fiercely means acquiescing, and then you can have in-depth communication!

There was a popular saying in those years: The strength of a company depends on who the boss leads.

Then if you bring Gong Li...

Tsk tsk, I feel very proud just thinking about it.

It’s also very convenient to attract investment!

It's just that when chatting, Aunt Liu always reveals, intentionally or unintentionally, that her daughter's album is selling well and is extremely popular...

It’s really strong, the first album sold 620,000 copies…

It’s okay, the Japanese album will be released soon, with 500 copies in the first week…

The evaluation is: not as good as Xiao Zhan!

…

Shen Xudong continued to chat with Huang Zhonglei about the New Year holiday.

This year's Lunar New Year festival is indeed very intense. You will have to fight for the three films "A City of Golden Armor", "Manslaughter" and "Injury City"!

In addition, "Yun Shui Yao" and "Mo Gong" will be released in November, as well as "Shanxia Good Man", "Big Movie"...

The Lunar New Year stall is a battleground.

"The Golden Jacket" was the first to bear the brunt, shouting the slogan of a box office of 400 million-more than "Titanic"...

Oh, "The Golden Jacket" is released on December 14th;

"Manslaughter" will be released on December 4th, and "Hurt City" will be released on December 22nd.

"Yun Shui Yao" will be released on November 1st, and "Mo Gong" will be released on November 23rd - Hua Yi wants to avoid "007: Casino Royale". This movie was originally supposed to be released in China and the United States at the same time.

Of course, for some reasons, "007: Casino Royale" was squeezed into the Spring Festival schedule to compete with "The Disciple"...

Therefore, the Huayi brothers actually have a movie for the Lunar New Year this year - "Ink Attack".

""Ink Attack" seems to be released on November 23, right?"

"That also avoids the most intense time!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "... I guess it will have to be a verbal spat between Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping."

Huang Zhonglei nodded: "Well, I heard that Zhang Weiping's New Picture Company has signed an exclusive screening agreement with China Film Digital Cinema. From December 14 this year to January 14 next year, China Film Digital Cinema will only screen one movie, that is "Golden Armor"..."

"real?"

"Well, it's already revealed!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "This is outrageous. The emergence of China Film Digital Cinema was originally intended to support the distribution of small and medium-cost domestic films, but now it has become exclusive to blockbusters..."

Compared with film copy distribution, digital distribution is a cheaper distribution method. You don’t have to pay high fees for film copying. The emergence of China Film Digital Cinema is really to encourage small and medium-cost domestic films...

"What do you want?"

"China Film Group also invested in "Manslaughter". Let me tell Director Han..."

Huang Zhonglei changed the subject: "When will Director Shen return to the capital?"

"Me? The day after tomorrow..."

"Do you have time to get together?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't have time at the moment... I have to choose a role, and I have several projects to do."

"Is it "Zhu Xian"?"

"Hmm... Director Huang actually cares about TV series?"

"I heard it's a big production of Xianxia..."

Shen Xudong denied with a smile: "No matter how big the production is, it can't compare to Huayi. I heard that I will cooperate with Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan in "Double J Project"? And I will also cooperate with Zhou Xingchi in "Kung Fu 2"?"

"...The copyright of "Kung Fu" is in Colombia's hands, so even if Stephen Chow wants to film it, he can't!"

At this stage, among the private film and television production companies in the mainland, Huayi Brothers is the boss.

Bona should be considered the second child...

Yu Dong almost monopolizes the distribution of Hong Kong films in the mainland, such as "Infernal Affairs 3", "Two Heroes", "Initial D", etc. Yu Dong even adopts a year-round package model for some Hong Kong companies' films. Buy the other party's full-year film distribution rights before the film is produced.

Of course, Bona is not too involved in production at this stage.

Tianmei Media should be considered the third...

However, the project costs controlled by Tianmei Media are relatively low, and they have never produced so-called blockbuster films. Even when they released "Hurricane Rescue" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", they were together with China Film...

But one thing is that Tianmei is much better than Bona. The latter has not released a movie with a box office of over 100 million!

Last year, Tianmei's "Witness" already exceeded 100 million. This year, "Crazy Racing" and "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" have two movies that have exceeded 100 million.

"Manslaughter" has prepared 800 copies. Of course, it is not as good as the 1,100 copies of "Golden Armor", but it is still high. You must know that "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" only released 1,000 copies...

The cost is different, and the genre is also different. "Manslaughter" is a suspense film with a low ceiling, so the company's goal is only to exceed 100 million.

…

"There are so many suitable movie scripts... In commercial movies, female characters actually have little performance space. They are either vases or props... You can't do comedy!"

"We, Sissi, will soon be collaborating with Jackie Chan and Li Lianlian."

"...Okay, I wish you success..."

Shen Xudong tried to persuade her, but it was of no use. Aunt Liu didn't like TV dramas at all.

She is obsessed with making her daughter a movie star.

Even the Huayi brothers refused, let alone a small project like "Zhu Xian"!

Shen Xudong was too lazy to talk anymore and turned around to chat with Chen Hao about "The Ancient City". While they were chatting, Huang Zhonglei joined in: ""The Ancient City"?"

"...a movie adapted from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"..."

"I heard that Xu Ke is filming other movies?"

"We also invested in "Xiu Chun Knife"... Director Xu is the producer, and the director is Lei Yaoliang... He is mainly busy with "Jingjue Ancient City"!"

“…Then when will the filming take place?”

Shen Xudong looked at Chen Hao: "Ask her, she is the heroine..."

The latter took the initiative and said: "I received news last week that the filming of "Xiu Chun Knife" has been completed... It is estimated that "Jingjue Ancient City" will be officially launched next month..."

Huang Zhonglei was surprised: "Congratulations to Chen Hao. I heard that the cost of "Jingjue Ancient City" was 180 million?"

"With the cost of publicity and distribution, it's almost the same..."

"What a blockbuster movie!"

"Not at all. The cost of this type of treasure hunting and adventure film cannot be reduced..."

"You guys are still awesome. It's a domestic blockbuster and it's from Hollywood..."

Oh, that’s what it means!

Shen Xudong didn't hide anything: "I'm lucky, I met a few rich friends...wait a minute..."

Chen Xi came over and told him something in his ear: "Sister Gao just told me that Wuxianhuai is planning to transfer shares!"

"Really? If he wants to sell, we will buy..."

"How much do you think his shares cost?"

"123 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"...Have you done all the calculations?"

"nonsense…"

After the exchange, Shen Xudong took Chen Xi, and the two left...

The ownership of Jiahe is much more important than the reception!
