New Age Artists

Chapter 550: Be precise!
6 month 4 day.

"Cao Cao" is now released nationwide.

The word-of-mouth of the preview spread, with the box office reaching 50 million on the first day and 160 million in the first week.

Guo Fan, Lu Yang and Wen Muye, three unknown new directors, have joined the billionaire directors club with their debut works!
All the film and television companies in the industry are feeling nervous!

Anyone who wants to join the Billionaire Directors Club can join, and three will be sent in at once.

And there are subsequent works, which are exactly the training process of Ning Hao back then, teaching and helping him until he can stand on his own.

Shen Santong’s footwork is so steady!
As for the premiere, mass production of high-quality films seems to have really worked!

Those who use simple means quickly spend money to buy negative articles.

Those with quick minds submitted similar films such as "Cao Cao", "Zhuge Liang" and "Liu Bei" for review. They may not be able to innovate, but they are very good at plagiarism.

As for historical figures, we can’t only allow Shen Santong to be photographed, right?
And the young director went crazy on the spot!
Shen Santong is really trying to cultivate young filmmakers, unlike the extroverted academic Lao Deng. Some of the Lao Dengs can only introduce tickets to so-called international awards. If you want to win the award, it is unknown how long you will have to lick it.

Even though I won the award, the actual benefits were not much.

What is cultivation?

Providing abundant resources, opportunities to display talents and make mistakes is called cultivation!

Santong Entertainment has established an industrial chain, and those who are lazy and have feudal ideas in their heads and believe in the master-apprentice system are doing bad things.

For newcomers, it would be great to have basic protection and a basic salary.

The audience's thoughts are simpler.

The movie "Cao Cao" is good enough.

Director Chen's performance in "Cao Cao" is much better than that in "Hero".

The Qin Shi Huang in "Hero" is a bit awkward.

If you want to look good and impressive, style, lines and composition are only one aspect. For historical themes, you also need to consider the object of comparison.

The First Emperor beat Qin Wuyang violently, but Qin Wuyang was just a street thug.

No matter how hard they fight, they can't show how powerful the First Emperor is.

It is better to sweep across the world and wipe out every hair of the royal family. The latter is straightforward and more refreshing than the former.

The so-called four masters in "Hero", Jet Li is a big name outside the play, but the style of the story is not comparable to that of the First Emperor.

martial arts master?

In the context of grand historical themes, it just doesn't fit in.

"Hero" was indeed good when it was watched back then, but it could not satisfy the audience's growing appetite.

The storyline is mainly aimed at overseas markets, not domestic audiences.

In terms of style, it is far inferior to director Chen’s monologue in "Kangxi Dynasty".

In "Cao Cao", in every normal stage of Cao Cao, there is an opponent of sufficient status to highlight Cao Cao.

In the future, it can only be said to be in the category of reasonable and satisfying writing. However, in the film industry, there will never be a drama that can give the audience a reasonable sense of satisfaction, let alone now.

"Cao Cao" is on the rampage in June!

Facts have proved that domestic films with a certain quality in plot, rhythm and special effects are more popular than imported films.

Taking advantage of the movie's popularity, Santong Entertainment and co-producer China Film Group organized an expert seminar within the system.

Shen Santong changed the way he did things.

Don’t get entangled with livestock, but construct your own narrative.

Don’t assume that experts don’t understand art. Many of the experts attending the conference actually have a very high level of appreciation and are quite professional.

Even if it is praise, there are actually different levels.

Movies like "Bureau 749" will also be praised, after all, people have paid for it. However, when praising a movie, it is difficult to find general words to praise it with its merits.

Truly good movies are those that are sincere, exciting, and full of emotion.

"Cao Cao" is undoubtedly a good movie!
At the seminar.

Department leaders of the General Administration: "Cao Cao" is a historical film with epoch-making and exemplary significance. It vividly reflects the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture, vividly demonstrates how to "take the essence and discard the dross", and vividly displays the excellent traditional culture. We hope that Dongda Film will shoot more and better works based on the artistic practice of "Cao Cao" and realize the road to becoming a major film power.

A staff member of the Central Academy of History and Culture said: "Cao Cao" is a landmark and leading work in the field of film creation at Southeast University. It combines the spirit of realism with romantic sentiment and is of great significance.

Professor of Tsinghua University said: "Cao Cao created an artistic form of romanticized historical film. Through Cao Cao's experiences in different stages and his popular poems, the film fully expressed emotions, feelings and artistic conception, and integrated the beauty of history into the narrative language. At the same time, the film created an example of inheritance and innovation, and found a new angle for modern expression of traditional culture.

"Era-changing and exemplary significance", "creative", "iconic", and "leading". The experts present gave super-large cups of praise.

There are many things to say about this kind of seminar, and experts often have to praise for various reasons.

If you watch it carefully and understand the tricks inside, it can really serve as a guide to movie quality in the early days of movie releases.

It mainly depends on the adverbs of degree. Good movie experts give more adverbs of degree and feel comfortable saying them.

After all, the mood when you take money to do something is different if the movie has advantages or not.

If there is a problem, they are not experts. The premise of the continuous development of the University of Tokyo means that the experts who oppose it are destined to be a minority.

If the vast majority of them are rotten, how can Todai achieve steady development every year?
Is it thanks to the super invincible system that makes even those who hate it do the same?

Based on the population base of Dongda University, the proportion of experts is not high, but the number is large.

When the group is large, there are naturally all kinds of people.

Especially in the humanities and social sciences, it is easy for some people with poor brains to emerge.

What these people say seems innocent at first glance.

If it is normal market means, no one likes to hear it and it will gradually disappear.

The key is that there are some media that like to amplify the voices of these people.

The internal speeches of the chiefs and economists in later generations are purely to help deceive fools outside and advocate transferring money to let people snatch it away. It's just that someone is pushing the flow.

They are bad, but the people behind them are even worse!
So as "Cao Cao" became a hit, naturally some farmers came out to speak out.

Some media, like dogs that smell something, unsurprisingly feast on it and amplify these niche voices.

Zhixu criticized "Cao Cao" for historical nihilism and glorified Cao Cao.

This practice goes against the principles of creation and is wrong.

Shen Santong posted a comparison screenshot: "Everyone take a look at the screenshots. It was the same group of people who criticized and vilified Cao Cao when my movie Red Cliff was a big hit."

"Now, people are criticizing Cao Cao for glorifying Cao Cao. Their stance and standards have reversed 180 degrees from the previous two years."

"The standards are constantly changing. In the final analysis, rather than being critical of me, it is better to say that we at Santong Entertainment have done a good job in filming historical themes and showing the beautiful side of traditional culture."

"Now some people are separating my views from my movies, and some people are constantly stigmatizing me as a conspiracy theorist."

"I believe that the audience has sharp eyes and netizens have their own judgment. Let's see if this is the case."

"In the public opinion field, there is a group of people who constantly make us 'doubt ourselves, hate ourselves, hurt ourselves, and commit suicide', and they cannot bear to see us 'be confident, love ourselves, strengthen ourselves, and respect ourselves.'"

"For normal film creation, if the audience likes it, they will feel uncomfortable and can't bear to see the audience happy."

"You can compare it with hot events. The logic behind many bizarre remarks is almost the same."

"Shark fins and carbon emissions are the same. 'Shark fins' make us doubt ourselves, smear us as immoral, make us hate ourselves, and then lead us to self-harm and suicide."

"It's the same with carbon emissions. 'It's all our fault. We are guilty of development.' It's still the same."

Boomerang.

It flew straight back to the public intellectual's head.

Public intellectuals are furious!
Shen Santong, you are such a fool. What happened in the past is in the past. Why are you taking screenshots?
As for the shark fin issue, keeping harping on it and bringing up old issues will only affect the character of a hero.

Grab the keyboard and spray it. Forget about everything else, the University of Tokyo must be responsible for carbon emissions!

Shen Santong stopped after he finished spraying.

Too lazy to pay attention to the clamor of breeding animals.

Isn't that delicious?
A sexy beauty with long legs, and extremely obedient.

In this life, Nazha entered the Beijing Film Academy one year in advance. He passed the art exam and had no major problems with the academic subjects. He was a minority, which gave him a lot of extra points.

After the college entrance examination, he came to BJ to work and pay off his debts. He owed Shen Santong a lot of money for his family's medical treatment.

However, Shen Santong was not in a hurry to ask Nazha to pay back the money, so he first improved his basic skills.

Nazha's weaknesses and shortcomings are obvious, and he needs special treatment. Although his reputation is still there, it would be good if he could have more professional skills.

At this age, Nazan is very young and takes everything she does very seriously. She devotes her whole heart to Shen Santong.

Siam.

The first stop of the global premiere of "Lost in Thailand" was held in Siam.

At this moment, Xiao Mi returned to Asia-Pacific, using one sinister trick after another, fanning the evil wind and lighting ghost fires.

That's right, Shen Santong's films, films with exotic themes, the characters he chooses, the plots he designs, all support and serve the countries they are in and fight for their own national interests.

It’s not important whether you follow me or not, but it’s important not to follow Xiao Mi!

Since Xiao Mi can’t suck blood, that trick can’t work.

The foundation of soft power is hard power. If Dongda forgets about "the great unity of the people of the world", Shen Santong would not be able to shoot "Inception", and even if he did, it would be difficult to pass the review, and even if it passed the review, the audience might not buy it.

But it still remains the same: the future is bright, but the road is tortuous.

Siam and various forces within ASEAN are mixed, Xiaomi's remaining power is huge, and the struggle situation is very severe.

Especially now.

The future is clear, and the most difficult part has actually passed.

Shen Santong has gained a certain influence in Siam and can feel the severity of the struggle. Xiao Mi and Dong Da continue to make efforts in Siam and other countries.

The premiere of "Lost in Thailand" in Siam was attended by the Siamese royal family, senior officials, and foreign affairs leaders of the University of Southeast Asia.

After some polite flattery, Shen Santong then shared his experience of the filming.

After some discussion, Shen Santong made a request: "My film Inception has grossed over 2 billion RMB and over 10 billion Thai Baht in Asia. From its premiere to its closing, the number of viewers has reached hundreds of millions."

“The story is set in Siam and it drives the development of Siam.”

Officials from Siam’s tourism department gave a set of data.

"Inception" swept across Asia and brought great economic benefits to Siam.

Shen Sandong said: "Lost in Thailand is the second film in the Lost on Journey series. With the influence of my films, it is normal for the domestic box office to exceed 1 billion."

"Lost in Thailand shows more scenery and is more effective in attracting tourists than Inception."

"Last year, our country had nearly 50 million outbound tourists, which is only 10 million less than the entire population of Siam."

"With the influence of my movies, it will bring a large number of tourists to Siam. More tourists from Dongda will choose Siam as their first overseas travel destination, which will boost the development of your economy."

Everyone present was very happy.

Shen Santong changed his tone and said, "But we all know the security situation in Siam. You have to do a good job of supporting our people so that they can have fun and play safely."

This is what makes Shen Santong different from ordinary directors.

He is confident!
Don’t be shy about making requests!

This is how it should be. I come to your place to play and bring you income, so you should provide supporting services.

6 month 30 day.

Lost in Thailand premiered in the country.

At this time, the box office of "Cao Cao" exceeded 700 million, and the theater chain predicted that it would be able to close the film with a score of 850 million.

The industry finally understood what Shen Santong meant when he said in an exclusive interview with Flower Society last year that Santong Entertainment will have blockbusters in various schedules this year.

Santong Entertainment has made full efforts this year!

As a comedy, Lost in Thailand is mainly marketed in the country.

The biggest difference from the original version is that it sets a different tone for the film for each country and clearly distinguishes between domestic and foreign films.

Ten years later, the safety of the people in Dongda has improved, although there are still some problems. But if we look at the world from a global perspective, we can say that people can live and work in peace and contentment.

It's not like this abroad.

Don’t fucking say that everyone in the world is a brother or a friend.

Each country is different and faces different situations.

There are many people who like this, flatter that, and are passionate about this, but there are few people who are passionate about it.

During the premiere discussion, Shen Santong said: "I saw a sharing about Outer Mongolia travel on the Internet."

"Some tourists have been threatened."

"But in our public opinion field, we don't see these things at all. The majority of Chinese people have no idea how arrogant some people are. There are also public intellectuals who boast that the environment there is better than ours."

"Those who are hurt are usually ordinary people who have no influence. Even if they write an article, they can't publish it."

"Once it is released, there will be a lot of watered-down and muddy content."

"I'm not saying this to oppose going out. On the contrary, I encourage people to go out. But you have to be more careful."

"Especially don't get information from the media. There are all kinds of information from the Haitian world. Our media is promoting the idea that all foreign countries are paradises. We must exclude all foreign countries that have any connection with us."

"When I was in Siam, I made requests and suggestions to the local authorities because their public security situation is indeed not as good as ours."

"When traveling abroad, don't think it's better to have less trouble than more. Give money when others ask for it, and take the initiative to fight for your legitimate rights."

"Once it becomes a habit, when we go out to play, people will specifically ask us for money, and even some business that can be handled normally will be put on hold until the end."

Shen Santong's normal reminder also sets the tone for national films.

No matter which country the background or subject matter is, the most important thing is to be precise!
His remarks once again provoked frenzied attacks from the colonialists.

This time, it's their area of ​​expertise.

Not many people went abroad at that time, so these people could make up whatever stories they wanted.

Shen Santong had expected that this group of people would be mean, but he still underestimated the extent of their meanness and shamelessness.

Not only did they write a idiotic story, they also gave detailed data, saying that Siam's tourism business is mainly dominated by Europe and the United States, and that our share is very small, so we should not make any demands.

This statement was extremely self-deprecating, and Shen Santong was so angry that he laughed.

Shen Santong took the screenshot and posted it, not to fight back, but to use it to shape his narrative.

"Everyone has their own formula. Is it still the same 'self-doubt, self-hatred'?"

"These people don't care about our interests at all. They suppress and belittle our legitimate demands and constantly suppress our self-confidence and reasonable demands."

Shen Santong had to keep repeating that the summary of "self-doubt, self-hatred, self-mutilation, and suicide" was too accurate.

No matter how these public intellectuals change, their hatred for the Chinese people cannot be concealed.

Shen Santong also couldn't understand why this group of people became like this, but this was the result.

It's too pure, with no concealment of naked malice.
