Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 245 Arrival in Chongqing (Updated on 15/32)

The Golden Rooster Awards do have prize money!
In order to encourage the development of spiritual civilization, local governments generally provide financial incentives to films that submit applications...

"My Girlhood" was filmed in Shenzhen and is one of Shenzhen's key film and television projects this year.

There will naturally be rewards!

Of course, it's not as outlandish as Xiangshan—Xiangshan truly offers various incentives: A domestic premiere offers a 20 yuan bonus per film. Box office revenue exceeding 1000 million yuan is rewarded with 1% of the box office share, with the maximum per-film bonus capped at 1000 million yuan. Films nominated for the Huabiao, Golden Rooster, or Hundred Flowers awards receive an additional 100 million yuan bonus on top of the city's award.

But Shenzhen will also reward...

According to Yang Siwei's calculations, the reward should be no more than 500 million...

"Give the reward to others, especially Guo Fan. He didn't get a penny for filming this movie..."

"Huh? No way? Isn't the director's fee 10 yuan?"

"He poured all his money into promoting The Adventures of Li Xianji..."

Shen Yan talked about the deal between Guo Fan and Shen Yan...

"It's okay, we will make up for it with a big red envelope!"

"Give him a big red envelope of 666!"

“…666…Is that too much?”

"We made at least 666 million from this movie... Giving them is normal!"

"You gave Guo Fan 666, how much did Sha Weiqi give? How much did the art director and the director of photography give?"

“…So what do you mean?”

"Give me 88..."

“That’s too little…”

"I'll give him another 188 in private... Is that okay?"

"...Well, that's more like it... We can't let people call us stingy!"

Yang Siwei asked quietly, "...'The Adventures of Li Xianji', should we help promote it?"

"Has the publishing company contacted you?"

"That's not true..."

"Then why are you causing trouble..."

Yang Siwei shut up, hung up the phone, and looked up "The Adventures of Li Xianji"...

Wow, there are so few promotional materials, just a few scattered ones - "New Work by Director Guo Fan", "New Work by Director My Girlhood", and "New Film by Fang Shimin"...

It's already pretty good. In the original time and space, there were only a few promotional articles about Fang Shimin, and the label was still 'Dragon Prince Fang Shimin'...

After all, the theater chain predicts that the box office will not exceed 20 million...

An Xiaofen from Dasheng International and co-producer Chen Lizhi...all felt that it was unlikely to be a big hit!

Even Guo Fan thinks the chances of it being a hit are low...

But he still promoted it seriously...

In fact, "The Adventures of Li Xianji" itself is a very niche movie, but after the capital came in, it wanted big stars and a big production...

Then Guo Fan held his breath and wanted to prove himself, using car chases, police and gangster scenes, dinosaurs, battlefields, and every trick he could think of. Perhaps he wanted to prove to the market or investors that he could do it!
Unfortunately, I thought too much and it didn’t work out in the end…

However, Shen Yan posted a Weibo post: "Director Guo Fan's live-action version of 'The Adventures of Li Xianji' is about to be released... I know about this movie. From a one-man animation to a film by a group of people, 'The Adventures of Li Xianji' received many people's "contributions" and went through several revisions... I want to say that this is the hard work of many young filmmakers. I hope theaters will give it more screenings... and I also hope it will be a big box office hit!"

……

It’s impossible for a movie to become a box office hit just because someone posted a Weibo post!

Yu Dong is almost going crazy, and "Operation Dragon" is still half dead...

The same goes for The Adventures of Li Xianji...

There wasn't much investment in publicity, the star resources were just so-so, and the market wasn't optimistic...

Moreover, this year's National Day holiday was basically all about insulting each other!
Yes, it’s no longer the level of internet trolls leading the charge to smear each other, but direct insults!

A Weibo account with the ID "No Tucao, No Movies" published a post related to "Painted Wall". The post discussed topics such as "score manipulation, White Snake, Painted Wall, debt collection, Wang Changtian" and so on. After the post was published, the post also publicly notified Wang Changtian, the CEO of Light Media, the production company of "Painted Wall".

Many netizens believed that this was an insider exposing how "Internet water army" helped a certain film suppress its competitors. After being forwarded several times, the post was posted on the Weibo of Yang Zi, the boss of Juli Film and Television and the independent producer of "Legend of White Snake".

Yang Zi immediately flew into a rage, responding, "From now on, I will halt all unfinished film projects and stop investing in all films. Seeing the noble cultural cause being so filthy, I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"

Then, another Weibo user with a registered V profile and the profile name "Guangguang Media Employee" directly addressed Yang Zi, saying that "Legend of the White Snake" was considered "terrible" by critics at the Venice Film Festival and that "good reviews were bought" before the release. "Men should be upright! Despicable tactics will only backfire!"

This led to a war of words.

Ning Cai praised "Painted Wall" twice, causing another uproar on Weibo.

Lu Jinbo said, "Since 'The Thorn', we've finally seen another masterpiece that received zero points in which not a single scene in the entire film makes sense. Secondly, this is typical of Chinese films: the investors are fools, the director is a liar, the actors are idiots, the theater chain is crazy, the media is blind, and the audience is a fool. Thirdly, I declare that I have severed my relationship with Ning Caishen!"

That’s right, many people on Weibo are very active at this time and tell the truth!
Many people @Shen Yan, asking him to share his opinion. Shen Yan didn't hesitate and directly replied, "They are both bad movies, what's the point of comparing them? It's just a difference of 30 points and 40 points. Anyway, I left halfway through both movies..."

Well, he is also genuine!

By the way, the number of Hollywood imports will surge next year... Can we make something that can really attract audiences? Everyone, look forward to "Love Is Not Blind" which will be released in November. It's a movie worth the price of the ticket!

Uh, I promoted "Love Is Not Blind"...

……

Shen Yan has now arrived in Chongqing!

The filming location of "Big Shot"...

After arriving in Chongqing, I first took a tram and experienced the feeling of a light rail going through a building...

The most real feeling Chongqing gives him is magic!
I just finished visiting Chongqing’s landmark shopping mall, Chongqing Raffles City, and I’m still shocked.

As soon as I went out and walked down the slope, I suddenly turned my head and found a set of stairs that led down seven or eight meters. The stairs were very old and not a cement road. There were low-rise red brick buildings on both sides.

He walked down the stairs and looked back. On the stairs was Chongqing's prosperous commercial center. Only a few dozen meters away from him, he was walking on ancient floors, and on both sides were old and almost dilapidated houses.

That moment was so magical. It was like being in the mortal world, looking at heaven - the mortal world and heaven were so close, and the magical feeling came naturally.

Also, it is really hot, even though it is the end of September, it is still very hot.

And there are stairs everywhere...

However, for Shen Yan, these are not problems...

He just came here to film, not to travel!
