Chapter 251 Returning (24)

Shen Xudong respects Xu Feng very much, but only with respect...

He knew that Xu Feng did not invest in any movies at all in the next few years - Tomson Yipin opened, the family was busy selling the house, and finally almost sold it, her husband died, and she could only carry the banner by herself...

Otherwise, Xu Feng has no reason not to continue making movies - Tomson International Entertainment Holdings was only established in 2002...

After investing in "Beautiful Shanghai", it stands to reason that I should continue to work with director Peng Xiaolian on "Shanghai Lemba"...

But no, it wasn’t until 2014 that Tomson Entertainment only made one movie, “Crossing the Line,” with Chen Kun partnered with Carina Lau. The reputation… not many people had seen it.

Then, Tomson Entertainment never invested in any movies!

It's understandable, after all, people are busy making money.

Therefore, when Xu Feng came over, Shen Xudong simply said hello and had no intention of communicating in depth.

However, Xu Feng was very interested in Shen Xudong and asked him if he wanted to work at Tomson Entertainment...

Shen Xudong refused because he still wanted to go to school.

He really has to go to school...

On the other hand, he has no idea of ​​joining a certain company.

Chengtian Company promised a lot of conditions, but he remained unmoved...

I will never be a laborer in this life!

You can stay with your sister and aunt based on your ability, but you still have to work?

…

After Chen Hao learned about the news of winning the "Outstanding Citizen" award, he immediately wanted to call and congratulate Shen Xudong...

It's a pity that I can't get through!

Shen Xudong has no time to answer the phone. He is chatting with the judges, mainly Scarlett Johansson.

The widowed sister is only 20 years old now.

To be honest, without the blessing of the Black Widow, it is just average, far behind Kate Beckinsale, Sophie Marceau and the like!

After all, she is only a little over one and a half meters tall...

It has nothing to do with sexy.

Of course, these were Shen Xudong's thoughts after Scarlett Johansson was not very happy to talk to him...

No matter who you are, if you don't like to talk to me, why do you still need to praise me?

Found nothing…

Shen Xudong returned to the hotel and dialed Senior Chen Hao's phone number.

We chatted briefly.

"I will return to China tomorrow..."

"...They may go to Toronto, and I, Teacher Chen Daoming, Cao Xiwen and Liu Bei will return to China..."

"The director is going to promote it, I don't know..."

"Well, the overseas copyrights were sold well, and the adaptation rights were also sold... It should be more than 5 million US dollars..."

"Five million US dollars is very good. We are not a blockbuster, and we don't have the blessing of a big director..."

"...Who was chosen for the casting of the divine eagle? Huang Xiaoming..."

"hehe…"

Nie Yuanke is really speechless. Even after being reminded like this, he still lost!

Well, he still fell for Zhang Jizhong's veto. Brother Xiao Ming gave a gift, but he didn't give it. Forget it if he didn't give it, the management team still told the truth about it...

This doesn’t give Zhang Jizhong any face!

After weighing it up, Zhang Jizhong chose Huang Xiaoming...

It is said that Zhang Jizhong wanted a masculine and manly Yang Guo...

This is very strange. He has always claimed to respect the original work. What was Yang Guo like in the original work?

He has delicate features, is handsome and handsome, and is a handsome young man. He must be a pretty and temperamental "boy", right?

Zhang Jizhong has a traditional aesthetic and prefers rough men in the style of Water Margin. But Yang Guo has read the Four Books and Five Classics, squatted in ancient tombs, and stayed with a beautiful girl for many years. How could he be dark and rough?

If Shen Xudong really needs to be cast, he might turn to Chen Xiao!

It's a pity that Chen Xiao is only in his third year of high school this year. In 2005, Chen Xiao was admitted to the Chinese Opera...

If you really have to choose, Shen Xiaohai and Qiao Zhenyu are both good!

Forget it, let’s talk about it after we return home...

"The casting selection for "Beauty's Scheming"...you can wait until I return to China..."

"Well, thank you..."

I hung up the phone and checked my missed calls...

Most of them are partners, such as Xu Fan, Deng Jie, Cai Yinong and so on...

After thinking about it, I simply edited a text message, and then chose to send it in bulk. The main thing was to thank you, and by the way, I explained that I was in Venice and cross-border calls were too expensive...

After struggling for a while, he fell asleep.

…

On the morning of the 13th, at the Capital International Airport, a group of reporters were waiting for the plane from Italy...

"Outstanding Citizen" has brought glory to the country!

Moreover, the content of the movie itself does not violate taboos, so it is rare for it to be reported positively.

It’s not that there were no reports before, but the media information in the past was not very developed, and there was no awareness of grabbing news. They all released it officially...

Things are different now. There are a lot of magazines and TV stations competing for news. There is a huge difference between first-hand news and second-hand news.

Around 10:30, a group of people showed up, and reporters immediately surrounded Chen Daoming and others.

"Teacher Chen, congratulations on winning the award! Can you tell me how you feel now?"

"Mr. Cao, is there any progress in the overseas copyright of "Outstanding Citizen"?"

"What are the company's next plans? How will it be arranged for release? How much box office will it take to make back the money?"

The road was blocked, so we had to listen and deal with it. Everyone knew that it was not easy for reporters, so they patiently answered a few questions.

Director Chen said: "I feel... I'm very happy. After acting for so many years, I finally won an important award..."

Cao Huayi replied: "The overseas copyright and distribution have been sold to Miramax Pictures in the United States for US$8 million, the company that distributed "Heroes"..."

Shen Xudong was stunned...

$8 million?

How do you talk nonsense without blushing and without a beating heart?

"The company will do its best to distribute "Outstanding Citizen" and we have prepared 800 copies!"

I can't stand listening to it anymore, this is too awesome...

Yes, the cost of copy and development is part of the film production cost, and the number of all film copies should be determined based on the specific production cost of the film.

At this stage, only large-scale commercial films with more than 1,000 copies will be "screened nationwide" to ensure high-frequency screenings and box office results. The total cost of production, development, distribution, etc. for each copy is about 10,000 yuan!

Yes, ten thousand yuan, cost price!

Only blockbusters can afford this kind of cost. For small and medium-cost films, the number of copies is basically less than 100.

As mentioned just yesterday, the number of copies of "Outstanding Citizen" has been determined at 230, ensuring normal screenings in more than a dozen ticket warehouse cities...

Now, just brag about 800 coins?

This is too ridiculous...

In fact, it is understandable. After all, the box office of a movie like "Outstanding Citizen" cannot be too high. Bragging is equal to propaganda!

Well, I didn’t have time to think so much. Soon the media asked Shen Xudong: "Xudong, "Outstanding Citizen" won the award, what do you want to say?"

"...so happy..."

""The World" didn't win the award, but "Outstanding Citizen" did..."

Shen Xudong interrupted him directly: ""The World"... I watched it and it was not the normal level of director Jia Zhangke. I believe he will adjust it soon. The award for "Outstanding Citizen" can only show that this movie is more in line with the judges. The taste…”

After all, Shen Xudong is also an academic. It's okay to talk about it occasionally, but if you ask him to criticize directly, I'm sorry, he can't do it, and he can't do it!

I had a busy day yesterday and delayed the update...

Will make up for it this afternoon...
Chapter completed!
