Chapter 28 Daily avi (1/5)
(Don’t talk nonsense, I wasn’t caught… I’m not writing well!)
"Is the handle made of wooden or iron?"
"Depending on your personal habits, I prefer wooden ones..."
"Where will the steak or an ordinary Cantonese restaurant for dinner later?"
“Cantonese restaurant…”
Liu Yifei stopped the work at hand and glanced at him...
Chen Mengxi smiled flatteringly: "I want to invite you to have dinner together in the evening, is that OK?"
“…I’m very busy today…”
"But, before I came, I had practiced countless times..."
Chen Mengxi looked at Liu Yifei with a slight pleading, and a hint of familiarity was revealed in his eyes. Just let me go. Two times were enough...
So, Liu Yifei also laughed...
A play instantly...
Chen Mengxi quickly pointed at her: "Look, you laughed... Cannes Film Festival is just like that!"
"Pooh…"
First she spitted Chen Mengxi, then she waved her hand to the staff around her embarrassedly: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I laughed..."
"fine…"
What can the staff do?
Of course, I chose to forgive her...
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the crew of "Inner Beauty" stayed at the barbecue restaurant next to the hotel, Chen Mengxi was the host to host Zhang Hanyun, Nazha and Yin Zheng...
It’s not that they don’t bring the staff, they are… too busy!
No joke: Mengxi's current project development has no major special effects. It basically takes 10 months as a cycle, four months to prepare, two months to shoot, four months to release...
During the shooting, the materials you shoot every day must be cut in advance so that the later progress will be smoother.
"Inner Beauty", a love theme, what's wrong? I still want to learn "The Ferryman": three years of preparation, 118 manuscript revision, 700,000-word script, ten months of shooting, more than 20 stars are doing something together?
I spent 400 million to shoot a romantic movie...
What is the concept of 400 million?
$60 million!
The cost of "The Joker" is only less than $60 million!
The brain is a good thing, I hope they can have it too.
Yin Zheng raised his glass: "Director, what you said at the Shanghai Film Festival is so satisfying!"
Chen Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked back: "...What's wrong? You have a holiday with Lu Chuan?"
"No…"
Liu Yifei heard the mystery: "Or?"
"Well, Yang Xiaomi called me afterwards to express her gratitude... Because she couldn't stand Lu Chuan's efficiency in making movies, she simply quit her performance, and then Lu Chuan was hated by him, saying everywhere that she didn't respect art or something..."
Zhang Hanyun was a little speechless: "We joined the crew, and the time limit for signing is limited. Who has time to accompany them to pursue art?"
Chen Mengxi waved his hand: "You can't say that? We should respect actors who pursue them? But we should not force all celebrities to pursue them..."
Generally, the normal filming cycle will never exceed three months!
Because the time of a celebrity is too expensive, the crew has to support so many people? Therefore, filming is often the norm for more than ten hours a day.
So? Many people who have been filming for more than four months are basically due to problems in the shooting process - either the director wants to change the script, or the star wants to add a show...
Yang Xiaomi takes on 3 movies a year? How to complete three TV series?
Must be coordinated during schedules.
I gave you 40 days? Just 40 days? Because I checked out before 40 days later - all the money was collected!
In this case, do you use artistic pursuit to tell the story?
It's really not easy to work!
Lao Liu didn't want to talk about this topic very much. She thought of the movie market and asked: "The Hunger Games is not selling well in China!"
"Normal? This thing has less than half the overseas box office of the United States!"
"The Hunger Games" is released in mainland China...
I thought North America sold $400 million? The mainland should have a $100 million market - everyone loves to watch Hollywood!
The first weekend was only 60.1 million yuan, with a total box office of 150 million yuan...
Surprisingly!
You should know that "Men in Black 3" had a box office of 180 million in the first weekend, and "Avengers" had a box office of 120 million in the first weekend...
"At present, most viewers prefer the direct stimulation of big scenes and big moves because we can't shoot them... But like "The Hunger Games"... When I was writing this book, I was considering the North American market! So, I didn't deliberately arrange Asians when casting..."
Liu Yifei glanced at him? He didn't say anything...
Miss, not just Miss? Most actresses around the world are particularly envious of Margot Robbie!
Margot Robbie, with the Hunger Games, was promoted to the world's most popular action actor...
Although she signed a four ministerial contract? The first three movies are paid $50,100,150,500,000 US dollars? Only in the fourth movie can I get a maximum salary of 25 million...
But reputation has been made!
Is it Liu Yifei? Not to mention whether she can complete the special training - this role requires half a year of special training, and it is the Olympic champion who personally trains: running over obstacles, climbing trees, shooting archery or escaping from the fire all require actors to play in person!
Half-year training period: Margotrow first drove to the University of California, Los Angeles for physical training, then went to the Valley Stadium for stunt exercises, followed by climbing skills, and then went to Santa Monica to learn archery from the third winner of the Olympic archery event, Hatuna Lorig.
Very tormenting!
Moreover, could the Hunger Games be a big hit at that time?
No one is sure, after all, Fox's "Difference 2" box office was a crushing defeat - a cost of US$130 million, a box office of 130 million in North America and 290 million in the world, and its reputation collapsed directly...
Also, if Shen Mengxi was determined to let Liu Yifei star in the box office be discounted, and the market would accept the subsequent sequel development, it would be a big question!
The key…the board of directors may not necessarily agree.
——Brun House decided to launch a listing plan.
Just make money...
...
"The natural industrial attributes of films determine that their development trajectory is closely related to the times."
"This is true abroad, and even more so in the mainland. Looking at the development process of Chinese-language films after the founding of the People's Republic of China, every advance and retreat from the system to the market has a distinct imprint of the times."
"I dare not say much, but within ten years, the trend of domestic films is that commercial films are more prosperous and art films are becoming more and more vague. If you want to lead the times and take more commercial films, you must always remember that 'movies are the art of the greatest public', and the judging criteria are also the masses!"
Shen Mengxi was very happy. Except for Liu Yifei, the few people here, they all brought it out in one hand!
It feels quite like a lot of students all over the world.
If he was happy, he would be willing to drink a few more drinks and then give some advice from later generations...
On the surface, it was an advice to Yin Zheng, Zhang Hanyun, and the others, but in fact it was to Liu Yifei to listen to - who would like to watch you perform in an art film?
"Dew Beauty", "The Third Love", "Night Peacock"...
What a broken thing?
Chapter completed!
