Chapter 229: Chatting

Chapter 229: Chat (4/4)

After talking about "My Love from the Star" for a while, the topic naturally shifted to "Our Girlhood".

Ji Xiang said, "I asked around, and our screening schedule for this weekend is only 15% full at best... There are only about 5000 screenings nationwide..."

“There are so many new movies coming out!”

"I estimate it to be 5.7 million at most..."

Yang Siwei suggested: "How about we use some tricks?"

"Goodbye, I guess everyone is watching our show now..." Shen Yan waved his hand: "If I can't get first place this time, I'll try again next time!"

Ji Xiang said: "That's right, reputation is very important!"

Sha Weiqi also said: "And we have created a miracle..."

Yang Siwei was still unhappy: "If we had the same schedule as 'Aftershock'... it would definitely have made over 7 million!"

Aftershock enjoyed a 40-day exclusive summer blockbuster season...

Zhang Weiping mocked Feng Xiaogang: "With such a good release date and a box office of only 600 million, you're already shouting about it to the whole world?" Fan Jin passed the imperial examination!
I completely forgot that House of Flying Daggers dominated the summer blockbuster movie schedule for 50 days...

Maybe in his opinion, Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou are not directors of the same level.

By the way, a few days ago a reporter interviewed Zhang Weiping and asked him to talk about the box office of "My Girlhood" exceeding 5 million...

Zhang Weiping asked in return, "What is this?"

On the trending search...

Back to the topic, Shen Yan laughed: "My first movie, 'Introduction to Architecture', surpassed the 1.63 million box office of 'Aftershock'!"

Ji Xiang laughed. "At the time, many people said it was because of Li Bingbing and director You Dazhi... By the way, how was You Dazhi's new movie doing at the box office?"

“…I don’t think it’s even 2000 million…I don’t know the exact amount, I haven’t been paying attention!”

"I told him a long time ago that the audience wasn't interested in Du Qifeng's stuff... but he didn't believe it!"

Sha Weiqi took out his phone, searched a few times, and then said, "I love his new movie, 'Retribution,' which was released on July 7th and grossed 12 million..."

Yu Dazhi's new film "Retribution" did not perform well at the box office...

The reputation is not good either, only 6.1 points...

But many people gave it positive reviews, saying things like "I vaguely saw You Dazhi during the "Dark Flower" period" and "Because of factors such as film censorship, You Dazhi made many "sacrifices" to adapt to the mainland market..."

Just outrageous.

Because of censorship again!

Some people always think that Hong Kong films are failing because of the mainland censorship system...

I'm speechless. It's obvious that the local market for Hong Kong films has collapsed!
The overseas market... has also been lost.

Hong Kong films were eliminated by Hollywood, which successfully upgraded its industry. Hong Kong films used to make money in Southeast Asia, but after the Hollywood blockbusters in the era of digital special effects, who in Southeast Asia would want your Hong Kong desserts after they had tasted the Hollywood feast?
Including the Taiwanese market, Hong Kong films are not popular in Taiwan because Taiwan has opened up the number of Hollywood films it can import. Taiwan used to limit the number of Hollywood films, but after the opening up, Hong Kong films are no longer popular in the Taiwanese market.

Without the support of the mainland market, could a group of Hong Kong filmmakers who have long passed their creative peak have survived until 2020?
I guess he changed his career a long time ago!
How can anyone think that this is all due to the mainland's censorship system?
Why don't you blame Irving?

"I heard Chen Zhengdao is also filming a new movie... It's called 'The Happiness Quota' and he's got Lin Zhiling and Chen Kun... It's coming out on October 10th this year!"

Shen Yan said casually: "I wish him success!"

The Happiness Quota...

never heard of that!

However, Chen Zhengdao in the original time and space relied on the box office of "The 101st Proposal" to break million, and opened up a new situation in the mainland.

This "Happiness Quota" is estimated to be not very good at the box office...

Well, actually, as long as Chen Kun is in the cast, you can probably tell how badly this movie will flop!

——Pukun played stably.

Ji Xiang said another thing: "During this year's National Day holiday, 'Painted Skin' will compete against 'Legend of the White Snake'!"

Yang Siwei was surprised: "Isn't 'Legend of the White Snake' scheduled for the Lunar New Year holiday?"

"I don't know, it seems like it was temporarily moved up!"

Sha Weiqi also chimed in: "I heard Yang Zi spent 200 million... to get Li Lianjie to support his mistress!"

“You’re really willing to spend money!”

"I guess he's ripped off some coal boss's money..." "Isn't he a third-generation red?"

"Who said that?"

"Don't talk about this kind of topic!"

Sha Weiqi interjected, "I heard that 'The Legend of White Snake' received good reviews at the Venice Film Festival?"

Ji Xiang continued, "I heard they're giving iPhones to film critics!"

"Tsk tsk, that's crazy high PR costs!"

Sha Weiqi asked curiously, "Does our movie also have to pay hush money?"

Shen Yan was also quite curious, and Ji Xiang explained: "We still have to pay for PR expenses... theater screenings, media screenings..."

Yang Siwei remembered something and asked Shen Yan, "You should be on the Spring Festival Gala this year, right?"

"Yeah...I've been contacted."

"Which song?"

Shen Yan casually said, "I haven't decided yet. I want to write a new song!"

"How could the Spring Festival Gala possibly let you sing a new song..."

"Sing that Huayin old tune?"

"We'll talk about it later... What are the plans for later?"

"That depends on you," Ji Xiang asked back, "What's your plan?"

Shen Yan: "I have to go to Hainan..."

Yang Siwei nodded: "Well, as a producer, you should definitely keep an eye on the movie!"

Sha Weiqi was curious: "...Hainan is filming a new movie?"

"Yes, 'The Call' is being filmed!"

……

The Phone, filming starts on August 8th…

Shen Yan was on tour at the time and didn't go to the concert...

However, he hired Zheng Zhaoqiang to do the photography, and asked Guo Shubo to send him the footage he shot every day...

The problem is not big.

There’s a lot of footage to shoot!

As a novice director, with Zheng Zhaoqiang as the guide, it won’t be a big problem!
And I found Teacher Du Yuan for the editing...

Teacher Du Yuan is very good at finding the most suitable one from a pile of materials!

The team behind the scenes is still very strong - the production cost of "The Call" was 2000 million, and an additional 500 million was added, which was basically given to the behind-the-scenes team.

Therefore, Shen Yan was quite confident about "The Phone".

However, as a producer, he should indeed be on-site on the set...

He plans to stay at the "Telephone" show for about two weeks.

Then I'll go back to BJ, attend the 'Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner', and then go to shoot 'Big Shot'...

By the way, let’s shoot a few commercials.

Well, he has taken on a new endorsement.

Suning Appliance and Lexus, two endorsement advertisements!

Car endorsements are still relatively high-end, especially since Shen Yan signed a full-line endorsement contract.

The endorsement fee is 800 million per year, and the contract is for two years...

In addition, Mengniu's Telunsu invited him to be the spokesperson together with Chen Daoming, offering a price of 1000 million a year!

Shen Yan still has some concerns...

After all, for some reason, domestic milk has a bad reputation...
