There's nothing much to say in the interview, it's just a routine.

Preparing for the movie was not easy. We encountered a lot of difficulties during the filming. The director and actors overcame many difficulties.

By the way, if the box office is not good, you should first ask, 'Is "Love After Life" a good movie?'

Then answer: 'Measuring the quality of a movie is more based on art as the starting point to evaluate a film, while the box office level is to evaluate a film from the perspective of commercial operations. The box office level is basically related to the quality of the film. There is no necessary direct connection.'

Asked why he wanted to be a producer.

‘I was moved by the story and the director’s persistence’…

It’s all a routine!

Do we have to tell the truth, ‘Director Yu is very smooth’?

Yes, as I said, "Love Has an Afterlife" is guaranteed to make headlines immediately, but...how do Shen Xudong and Yu Feihong behave?

The age difference is 13 years!

Oh, "Watching Movies" also asked Shen Xudong, "Does he have any new movie plans?"

'Yes, "33 Days of Love" will soon be adapted into a final film.'

'You want to direct it yourself?'

‘…I never thought about this…’

I really haven't thought about it, but Shen Xudong is a little moved.

First of all, "33 Days of Love" is very low-cost and relies on story;

Secondly, the filming cycle of this movie is very short, it can be completed within a month...

Finally, if the publicity is good, not to mention that the box office exceeds 300 million like the original time and space, 200 million is not a big problem...

Perfectly meets Shen Xudong’s requirements!

"let me consider it…"

…

Usually interviews are done for publicity - if it wasn't for publicity, who would have the time to talk about movies in a serious manner?

The sales of "Watching Movies" are pretty good, with a circulation of 600,000.

There are also many readers of the electronic version...

Unfortunately, the promotion effect of the movie "Love Is Afterlife" is minimal.

Again, this movie itself does not please the market - it is not commercial enough!

Moreover, theaters have marketing plans for film schedules. After the first week, the number of films scheduled for "Love After Life" dropped...

Gave it "Slam Dunk".

At least "Slam Dunk" has Chou Jialun!

Well, February 14th is Thursday. At the end of its first week, "Love Is Afterlife" took in 12.7 million at the box office...

The next week, on the 21st, "Detective" and "The Man on the Road" will be released...

It is estimated that the film schedule of "Love Is Afterlife" will have to go down...

In other words, the total box office of "Love Is Afterlife" is likely to be less than 15 million!

Well, it did set a record for the lowest box office of Shen Xudong's movie. You know, "The Aviator" sold 16 million...

Moreover, the publicity cost of this drama is 8 million, which means...the funds recovered from the box office are not even enough to cover the publicity expenses!

Definitely a big Waterloo for Shen Xudong!

Of course, he didn't take it seriously...

He didn't take it seriously, but Yu Feihong felt very guilty.

Although many years of long-cherished wish came true, it failed to live up to the trust of investors and issuers.

She is not a director like Wang Jiawei or Jiang Wen who cheats people without paying for their lives...

30 million eh…

After finishing the promotion, I returned to the capital and met with Shen Xudong. After an artistic exchange, he offered to help the company star in several TV series for free.

Shen Xudong was speechless: "If I do what you do, what will Director Chen do?"

"Director Chen? What does it have to do with him?"

""Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin" lost tens of millions of blood... "The Promise" also lost tens of millions..."

Yu Feihong shook her head: "...it's different, I'm an actor originally..."

"What's the difference? Film investment itself is a kind of gambling. If you lose money, you use your own money to make up for it. What if you make money? Will they share it with you?" After a pause, Shen Xudong emphasized: "Never empathize with capital..."

Yu Feihong kissed him: "...you know so much..."

"It's not that I know much, it's that I have experienced..."

Then Shen Xudong talked about "Outstanding Citizen". The overseas revenue of this drama is 4.2 million US dollars, the mainland revenue is close to 8 million, and the TV copyright and audio-visual copyright are 25 million...

Investors made huge profits!

How much money did he take?

The script fee and adaptation fee together are 1 million, and later there will be bonuses and red envelopes of 500,000...

Well, just 1.5 million!

The one who stepped on the horse, he was the one who contributed the most to the entire project, but the money he received was only 1.5 million?

So...what can be done?

I don’t think he is the protagonist, so the script copyright belongs to him, right?

Are you kidding me? If a film and television company invests in the production of your drama, they will first buy out the copyright!

Because production companies bear the greatest pressure, especially production companies that use their own money to produce. Of course it is good if they make money, but what if they lose money?

Screenwriters and directors will say that losing money is none of my business...

So, fair enough!

Shen Xudong comforted him again: "Don't think too much, "Love Is After Life" has a good reputation, and many analytical reports have said that this type of film has no domestic market, so it can be considered a useful attempt."

“…”

Yu Feihong didn't say anything. It could be seen that she was still in a depressed mood...

Shen Xudong ‘had no choice but to act as a psychiatrist again’.

Let her not have the mind to think about this...

From any perspective, he is quite selfless!

After all, he was very tired after three days in a row.

Yes, human beings’ pursuit of art has always been endless, but endless pursuit and practice consumes energy!

But there was no way. It was with his encouragement and control that Director Yu realized his dream of directing "Love Is Afterlife". Now that it failed at the box office, she doubted herself...

In a sense, Shen Xudong has to shoulder the blame!

Have you made a prominent Chinese filmmaker depressed?

Do you have an obligation to cheer her up again?

In this sense, this can be regarded as a contribution to the Chinese film industry.

If you suffer a loss, take some of it...

As a person, especially at this stage, he shouldn't be too selfish!

Ahem...that's it!

…

Three days later, on February 22, Shen Xudong went to work...

As soon as I entered the company, I met Chen Xi, who immediately said, "Where have you been these days?"

"...outside...what happened?"

Chen Xi was very angry: "Why didn't you come to the premiere of "On the Road"? I didn't reply to my emails and I didn't answer my phone calls!"

Shen Xudong explained: "...I have something wrong with me. Director Yu was in all kinds of decadence due to the failure of "Love After Life", so I stayed with her for a few days..."

Hearing this, Chen Xi swallowed his saliva: "Accompany...how did you accompany me?"

"...I just accompanied her to Inner Mongolia to see the scenery..."

"Really? Then why don't you answer the phone?"

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone: "iPhone... it's rubbish. It takes five hours to charge and two minutes to talk!" At this point, he suddenly reacted: "No, I don't remember that I didn't say I wanted to participate in "Journey to the Road" ’s premiere?”

"...Then we all go..."

Shen Xudong angrily said: "I can't do the movie promotion and distribution without me? Then what do I want you to do? Don't bother me with this kind of thing in the future!"

Chen Xi...shut up, she doesn't know how to answer.

“…How much was the box office of “The Man on the Road” yesterday?”

"I was about to tell you..." Chen Xi immediately changed his face: "...10.2 million!"
Chapter completed!
