Chapter 123 Points and Projects (4/6)
"Lost in the Road" is of course very good!
According to the annual box office data released yesterday, "Lost in Thailand" ranked fourth in domestic films with 92.31 million, second to "Assembly", "A Letter of Names" and "Lust and Caution". Even with Hollywood blockbusters, they can still rank ninth.
It is the hottest product of the year.
In terms of reputation, the media score is 7.6 points and the audience score is 7.8 points!
It is already very good to have comedy movies that have such high praise.
In a drama, Xu Zheng became a top-notch director...
Of course, the wish of the roe is still to become a big actor on the front line...
Chen Mengxi also became famous in one fell swoop, and her reputation reached a new height, far exceeding the operation of "Crazy Stone" last year. "Stone" is more popular with Liu Dehua, and "Lost in the Road" emphasizes more on the screenwriter and production of Chen Mengxi.
It’s normal, just like the promotion of "A City" and "Sadness Against the River" mainly featured the original work of Han Han or produced by Guo Jingming!
Whoever is more famous will be promoted.
"Lost in the Road" plus the casting of "Mobile Maze", Chen Mengxi is now really a celebrity in the circle!
...
Huang Lei poured him a cup of tea and asked casually: "I read a few interviews two days ago. Why do you feel that you have any opinions on Hong Kong and Taiwan actors?"
"Thank you..." Chen Mengxi picked up the cup and took a sip, then said: "It's not a question, it's just a little unhappy with their attitude!"
"We have experience and know how to make box office. We are just starting out and many places are immature. We have to learn more from others and have the appeal..."
“I know how to make a box office too.”
Huang Lei looked at him: "Tell me!"
Chen Mengxi put down his teacup: "Blockbusters and low-cost comedy, the current form is like this. In the market share, more than 70% of them may be blockbusters."
"We lack an intermediate link, which is to invest 20 to 30 million in films to survive..."
Huang Lei interrupted him and asked, "Can you do it?"
"I have already done it, and the investment of "Ip Man" is 38 million..."
"Ip Man?"
"Bruce Lee's master, Master Wing Chun, I have inquired about CCTV's broadcast of "The Legend of Bruce Lee" to help us promote it..."
"Continue!"
"The current movie revenue and box office share account account for 80%. The remaining TV copyrights, video copyrights... and overseas copyrights, but to be honest, overseas copyrights are generally not sold in low-cost movies!"
"The overseas income of "Lost in the Road" is not good?"
"No, the overseas market is sold in a region or a country for units. For domestic films, it does not mean that you think you can't sell for 20,000 US dollars, but you can sell for 10,000 US dollars. The concept is that if you can sell, you have a proper price. If you can't sell, you can't sell it, it's 0, not a single cent! " "Lost in Thailand" is a pure domestic film. There are not many interested film manufacturers, so I didn't sell it..."
"If the domestic film can be called the first-tier Shanghai SIPG, Taiwan, or can be sold Southeast Asia copyright..."
Huang Lei smiled: "Then you still have any objections to others!"
"I mean the front line of Hong Kong and Taiwan. The pay for those first-line actors is at least 15 million yuan, so I can't afford it! In another two years, local movies will emerge in Southeast Asian countries, so don't think about overseas markets!"
"Okay, I know, but I want to remind you that you can just say these words in private, don't put them on public platforms. Now co-production is the mainstream!"
“…Yes, teacher!”
Chen Mengxi was reluctant to slap himself twice. It was really, he said anything!
Do you have a big picture view?
Huang Lei smiled and said, "It's okay, you are only 23 years old, there's nothing wrong with being young and energetic!"
"I'm afraid that others will hold on... By the way, teacher, why don't you act in "Wang Gui and Anna"?"
At the beginning of "Wang Gui and Anna", Teng Huatao wanted to find Huang Lei to play Wang Gui, but he refused, and then he found Lin Yongjian...
"I'm afraid I can't act that feeling..."
"No, you are the performance teacher!"
“…just because I am a teacher, I am very clear about my situation…”
...
The two chatted until almost ten o'clock, and Chen Mengxi offered to say goodbye, Huang Lei: "I'll give you a gift!"
“…No, I drove here!”
"Talk to you by the way!"
"…What's up?"
"Director Liu Jiang, do you know each other?"
"Of course I know the director of "The Game in the Game" and "Snow Wolf"..."
"He read a script and wanted to make a movie..."
"Just ask him to find me!"
"You won't ask?"
Chen Mengxi smiled: "If you can make Teacher Huang a lobbyist, it means there must be nothing wrong with the book!"
"…Stop flattering, go away!"
"Then I'm leaving!" Chen Mengxi was about to leave, and Huang Lei said again: "That book is called "Departure Now"!"
Chen Mengxi was slightly stunned for a moment, but drove away quickly...
"Departure Now", a very good low-cost romantic comedy by Mr. Fan Wei...
Cha Muchun, the screenwriter of this movie, has many works. Later, he got involved with Bo Ge and helped him organize "A Good Show". "Departure Today" is his best-known work. Others are failing comedies, such as "Kidnapping Ice Cream", "Don't Be Prevention in the House" and "Making a Big Fight in India"...
Back to "Departure Today", the box office of this movie is not high, it seems that it has not exceeded 10 million, but it has also made a profit because the cost is low...
...
The next morning, Chen Mengxi met Liu Jiang and his wife Wang Tong in the office. Yes, it was Qingdi's sister Tong!
Open the script of "Departure Today" and glanced at it:
"…Come on, let's have a few actresses!"
"No, no, I see a strange girl, I'm nervous..."
"Don't be nervous, this is the entertainment industry. How do you write every word Yu? Add a Wu next to the word "如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如如
Seeing this passage, Chen Mengxi's mouth slightly opened, then put down the book "Departure Today" and looked at Liu Jiang: "I've voted for this book!"
"…Sister Li, calculate the approximate cost of production and arrange the project..."
Wang Tong interrupted Chen Mengxi: "Producer Chen, in terms of casting?"
"As Director Liu wants to do it, I have no objection..."
What comments can you have?
This book is clearly sold for less than 10 million unless you can find Ge You...
Chen Mengxi was about to propose Ge You, but when he thought that if Ge You joined, other configurations would have to change, and the cost would be impossible...
Teacher Fan Wei, it’s very good!
Also, the most important reason why he invested in "The Departure Today" was not the project itself, but the person director Liu Jiang.
This man has a good film of spy war dramas on the battlefield, family dramas, and even urban romance dramas.
A rare all-round TV series talent.
Wang Tong and Li Yiping went to discuss the production plan for "The Departure of the Day". Chen Mengxi poured a cup of tea for Liu Jiang and said, "Director Liu, I have a book here. When you finish filming "The Departure of the Day", let's work together again?"
"A movie?"
"…It's a TV series! I've seen "The Years" you filmed, it's really good!"
"Where, the main script itself is interesting."
"When "The Departure Today" is released, let's talk about the book?"
Chapter completed!
