New Age Artists

Chapter 62: Huge Opportunities in the Next Years (Part )
I saw this at a glance among the many reports that were cut out.

Too eye-catching, traditional Chinese characters, and the media from Hong Kong Island.

It is said that Shen Santong and Ice and Snow Legend had a big fight in the private room.

"Bullshit."

Shen Santong was furious. He hadn't even had the chance to eat it yet, but he was already swearing at others.

The media in Hong Kong Island not only simply wrote and edited the stories randomly, but also did so with malicious intent.

The drama "Supermarket" proved the strength of the mainland team, and it seems that Shen Santong's new project will still be a mainland team.

If the two projects are successful again, the previously created stereotype that only Hong Kong stars are needed will suffer an unimaginable impact.

The relationship between the Hong Kong media and Hong Kong entertainment companies is intricate, and any opportunity to step on Shen Santong's role will be taken without hesitation.

Mainland tabloids are not much better.

The title is also borderline vague, as if sitting for four hours is said to be intense.

The content is quite normal.

Shen Santong and Li Bingbing sisters made an appointment to have a private restaurant. The entourage of both parties was outside, and the three of them went into a private room. They left around 6pm and 10pm.

I sat with Sister Li Bingbing for four hours. We had a very lively conversation and enjoyed it very much. When we left, both sides were reluctant to say goodbye.

More formal media reports are relatively reliable and focus on the possibility of project cooperation.

The gathering of a big business director and a top mainland actress brought their teams with them, which was obviously about business.

At the company's signing ceremony, Shen Santong confirmed the news of the new drama and the sequel to Supermarket. It seems that this cooperation will revolve around these two projects.

"After the concierge project is sorted out and archived, the screenwriter team will expand and turn to the writing of three drama scripts: "Tutu Apartment", "Horror Cruise" and "Happy Death Day."

Shen Santong plans to write the script first and prepare it for record.

Copyright applications are filed not only in China but also abroad.

Including the "Lost on Journey" that I plan to make, I have also applied for the copyright. It doesn't cost much, but it can save me a lot of worry if something really happens.

"We can shoot one or two short films first. We must make good use of the employee training that Hualong promised and accumulate technology."

Shen Santong is very concerned about digital film technology, which is the future trend.

There is a foundation in the country at present, and the main thing is to put people to use.

In film technology companies, just like in the film industry, there are people both on and off the stage who lack the ability, but rather a lack of opportunities.

Some large domestic projects tend to look for companies from Hong Kong, South Korea, or the United States to do the work, and are reluctant to look for companies from mainland China.

As long as there are projects and funds, the mainland can do well.

Shen Santong wants to use his new play and stones to bring digital technology to the forefront in China.

It may take a little longer later, but you have to start.

Focusing on the domestic market is different from moving around in the field. We should be aware of cultivating the market.

He basically finances the production of his films himself, and has no need to use overseas special effects companies to increase the budget.

Just take your time.

"Find a group of users from Dongtian.com and do a questionnaire to see what everyone thinks of my new play."

Shen Santong felt that his previous thoughts were a bit hasty.

His previous idea for the new play was simply to make a pioneering film and explore film technology.

Not caring about the box office and making a low-budget suspense film is actually just for self-satisfaction.

He thinks he is exploring digital film technology, but that is just his own idea and the audience may not care at all.

Exploring digital technology is just the director’s job. We can’t say that the director is self-satisfied just because he has done his job.

Asking the audience to pay for the movie with their movie tickets is a behavior that is similar to that of some literary, artistic, and self-indulgent directors.

"I can't become the person I hated in my previous life."

Shen Santong did some self-reflection.

Speaking of which, the domestic entertainment audience is really humble to the extreme.

For the current audience, the only domestic films worth watching are those by Xiao Gangpao and Zhang Yimou.

But their movies always lack something interesting, have some weird taste, and fail to fully resonate with the audience.

This situation will still exist even if mainland teams become the mainstream ten or twenty years later.

The audience could barely eat a few bites of the good food.

Repeatedly disgusting the audience with discussions on ethnic and historical issues.

Bow with hands behind back. Add highlights to the American soldiers.

They have reaped all the benefits of the nationality and refuse to acknowledge any of it.

The movie about Qin Hui used Yue Fei for promotion.

The story of unification begins in the Qing Dynasty.

It's time for a bayonet fight. There are so many Kuomintang generals to take pictures of, so just take pictures of the ones surrendering to the Japanese.

The audience paid real money to watch the movie, but instead they were treated so humiliatingly.

"Wolf Warrior 2" set box office and viewing records in film history.

The audience voted with their feet and told domestic filmmakers that they love watching this.

At that time, a group of people were shouting that "Wolf Warrior 2" would set a bad precedent.

There will be a large number of copycat works, destroying the film ecosystem.

Until Shen Santong was reborn, no one followed suit!
The shooting is indeed difficult and takes a long time. I don’t deny that it is not easy to shoot, but the benefits are great.

If Hayek's invisible hand comes into play, films like Wolf Warrior 2 will surely emerge.

However, no.

It can only be said that these domestic filmmakers won’t make any money even if they are offered it.

The difficulty of the position and the strength of the will are beyond imagination and incredible.

In fact, it's not just the moviegoers who are humble.

Even those who listen to the songs are humble.

When it came time to express their stance, they turned around and PUA'd their mainland fans.

All kinds of weird theories emerged, including that not opening a Weibo account was the right decision at that time.

They make a lot of money from mainland people, but are unwilling to express their stance even on the most basic issues.

Put aside your stance, put aside the facts, put aside right and wrong.

Celebrities provide entertainment services. To put it bluntly, they need to make people laugh. This is basic professional ethics.

Consumers are God, audiences and fans are God, this is the normal logic.

The situation in the domestic entertainment industry is the opposite. The ones who spend money are the grandsons, and the fans are inferior people.

Such an abnormal situation will last for twenty years, which is a huge opportunity for Shen Santong.

The box office of "Supermarket" can tell us something about it. The reason for its success is not because Shen Santong did a good job, but because of the support from his peers.

If you treat the audience as human beings, making a living from making good movies will not be a problem at all.

As reports of the meeting between Shen Santong and Li Bingbing's team spread, the film industry began to stir.

It has been confirmed that Shen Santong has two projects in hand, one is the sequel to Supermarket and the other is his new drama.

Then the meeting with Li Bingbing indicated that the two new projects in Shen Santong's hands would most likely continue to use the mainland team.

Huge shock in the industry!

In this era when excellent film projects are extremely scarce, all parties are snooping and wanting to get involved.

Shen Santong's office phone, work number, and previous personal number were all flooded with calls.

Fortunately, I had changed to a private phone number before, and only a few people knew about it.

"Okay, it's okay, just give a normal clarification."

Shen Santong received a call from Li Yu.

Li Yu apologized for the media rumors, and then confirmed the time and place for the styling that were agreed upon yesterday.

Shen Santong saw how powerful the big actresses were and how much effort they put into pursuing new plays.
They pressed him step by step, leaving him almost no chance to breathe.

Shen Santong even suspected that yesterday's news was deliberately released by Li Bingbing's team.

Whether it is to stir up hype, influence Shen Santong with public opinion, or force out potential competitors, there are strong motives.

There is no easy task among the big players. They can fight tooth and nail for the best opportunities.

"It was you who designed Zhang Jingchu's hairstyle, right?" Li Bingbing asked.

In order to avoid being photographed by paparazzi, they met at Li Bingbing's private villa.

"You have a heroic spirit, which is different from Qiong Yao's bitter aesthetic. It is very special and has a certain aggressiveness."

Shen Santong picked up the tool and asked, "You're marketing yourself as a sexy thief in the role of 'A World Without Thieves'. I think you're a little bit shy about your appearance?"
