Chapter 525 "Ink Attack" Premiere

How to integrate into Hong Kong circle?

First of all, you have to speak out in various public places about reviving Hong Kong films, and participate in some activities, such as the Hong Kong International Film and Television Festival, the Hong Kong Film Festival, and gatherings of major associations;

Secondly, link up with TVB and serve as a judge...

Miss Hong Kong or something like that.

Shen Xudong has no idea about the Miss Hong Kong election: "Miss Hong Kong is a product of the times. In the past, if the Hong Kong entertainment industry wanted to quickly become an artist, in addition to joining the wireless artist training class, the only way was to participate in the Miss Hong Kong election..."

"Look, in just a few months of the campaign, you have become a well-known figure in the city. After that, whether you want to join the entertainment industry or marry into a wealthy family, you have a piece that is important enough." A stepping stone.”

"But among the Hong Kong actresses who have appeared in recent years and are active on the big screen: Cecilia Cheung, Leung Luo Shi, Twins, none of them have experience in running for Miss Hong Kong..."

Chung Lifeng had a different opinion: "Charmaine Sheh is the first Miss Hong Kong to debut!"

"She is third...good luck!" After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Our career focus must be on the mainland, but if you are qualified, there is no problem if you praise her!"

At that time, the practice of Hong Kong beauty pageants was to only win the champion. Even the runner-up had few resources, let alone the third runner-up.

But the wonderful thing is that Charmaine Sheh's champion Ong Chia Sui and the runner-up Li Minghui have no interest in career. They just want to win back their boyfriend and marry into a rich family. This makes TVB who is holding the contract very embarrassed.

The dignified TVB can't compare to a man. If this spreads out, how will the sixth master Run Run Shaw's face be saved?

Fortunately, TVB has a spare tire, Charmaine Sheh.

Since neither the championship nor the runner-up can be counted on, then it is okay to win the third runner-up.

In this way, the second runner-up, Charmaine Sheh, made a big mistake and signed a contract with TVB under the name of "Little Carina Lau" and became the target of key training.

It was really a key training. The next year, he collaborated with Huang Rihua in "Tomorrow is Different" and starred in Jin Yong's drama "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain".

But it's of no use. As a two-time queen, she is far behind the previous Hong Kong sisters in terms of influence and income...

To put it bluntly, the platforms of Hong Kong Sisters and TVB are not attractive and cannot attract Golden Phoenix.

Zhong Lifang didn't listen to this at all and retorted directly: "So, you want to sign a young model?"

"Just tell them whether they are pretty or not..."

"What can you do if you sign them?"

"sure!"

"...What can..." Zhong Lifang reacted: "I really admire you..."

"Forget it, if you resist like this, I won't sign...

"I didn't resist... It's normal for a production company to have artist managers, but you have to think about it seriously. Our company is going to make an action movie. What's going on if you sign a few young models?"

"There are really no talents!" Shen Xudong sighed: "Furthermore, there is a phenomenon. Those who have been highly praised in recent years are basically from well-off families, because everything requires money after entering the industry. In addition to training, there is also the appearance of the outfit. of…"

"But young model, I still feel a little bit ugly..."

"What does this mean? Shu Qi was famous for her work in tertiary films, but now she has become a first-line female star... Let me tell you, this industry has always laughed at the poor but not at the prostitutes..."

…

"Why should I stay in Hong Kong? I don't understand company management... Besides, a group of management has been changed..."

"It must be changed. The film industry is very good at forming groups. It's normal to cheat money..."

It is very common for Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers to form groups to steal money...

Not only in the movie field, but also in the Internet field!

He remembers that Tudou itself was developing very well back then, on par with Youku. Even with Wang Wei's divorce lawsuit, Tudou didn't have no chance at all!

But because of the messy behavior of top executives within the company, the entire company declined rapidly...

In 2009, the General Administration issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Content Management of Internet Audiovisual Programs", which stipulates that no film and television content without a license may be disseminated on the Internet.

However, Tudou’s Taiwanese executives ignored the company’s interests and purchased large quantities of Japanese and Taiwanese programs. Not only are these shows ridiculously expensive, but they also lack licenses and tens of millions of dollars have been wasted...

——It’s not surprising that Taiwanese executives take care of Taiwanese programs, but spending such a huge amount of money is really unbelievable!

The illegal introduction became the last straw for Tudou.com, and the CTO, CFO and CEO resigned one after another...

Therefore, Jiahe’s management must be replaced by mainlanders.

Besides, I didn’t join Golden Harvest just to make Hong Kong movies!

Back to the topic, today is November 20th. Shen Xudong returns to BJ to attend the premiere of "Ink Attack"...

After chatting with Gao Fenfen for a while, he took a car to the premiere of "Ink Attack",

"There seem to be a lot of co-productions nowadays, but most of them are just superficial. Many Hong Kong movies just hire mainland actors to play insignificant roles, and they are considered co-productions..."

"In fact, according to the regulations of "CEPA", there are two major requirements: no less than one-third of the main actors are from the mainland, and the storyline or main characters must be related to the mainland. Many co-productions do not meet the regulations!"

"...There is no need to go into details. They are all Chinese-language films. As long as there are no violations and the release license is obtained, there should be no problem..."

Although it was the premiere of "Ink Attack", a group of media surrounded Shen Xudong and asked about Jiahe...

This is his first public appearance after acquiring Jiahe.

"Is it worth over 100 million? Isn't this worth talking about? I don't do film and television for money!"

"...Liu Dehua is here, go interview him!"

After briefly answering a few questions, Shen Xudong found an excuse to get rid of the media and walked into the premiere hall. Then a group of people gathered around him. This time it was some directors and actors.

Shen Xudong's identity is different now.

Film and television company boss!

And he is the boss of Jiahe, with a bunch of projects in hand...

What is this called?

This is called upstarts!

Shen Xudong paid more attention to his image, greeted everyone one by one, and then chatted for a few words with the creative team of "Ink Attack" before going to sit in the auditorium...

…

23 days before "Ink Attack", "Yun Shui Yao" firmly dominated the box office list...

There were no other movies at the same time!

But because the market in November was very low, as of now, the box office of "Yun Shui Yao" is 39 million...

This figure is obviously not high, but it is not bad either. After all, it is a main theme movie, and the theaters are rarely booked!

Mainly relying on the promotion of Tianmei Company - the company is also one of the joint issuers.

Shen Xudong is very concerned about "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters". After all, the main roles have been changed. Facts have proved that Chen Kun is indeed in decline - in the original time and space, the total box office of "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters" was only 36 million, but this time it has already reached 39 million before the film is released. Even if "Mo Gong" is released, it won't be a big problem for "Yun Shui Yao" to break 40 million.

"Ink Attack"...

Shen Xudong has no memory, but after watching the scene, he understood why he had no memory!

The theme is vague and there is no in-depth thinking; the scenes are grand but not elaborate; the actors' performances are on point but not outstanding; the narration and closing subtitles always strive to be "politically correct", either sensational or superfluous. If you are not good enough, you will not be good enough. In one word - mediocrity.

The biggest fear of blockbusters is mediocrity. You are either terrible or wonderful.

At least it will be topical!

"Ink Attack" is neither close to the other, so it can't be called an excellent film, but it can't be said to be a bad film either...

No wonder I have no memory...

When asked to comment, Shen Xudong thought for a while and replied: "It's not a typical blockbuster. It's very well-made... and the soundtrack is also good..."
