Chapter 235 Soliciting (24) (Happy New Year, I wish you all a fortune)
"House of Flying Daggers" can be regarded as the bottom of A Mou's movie sequence.
In the 2015 "Mainland Directors' Score List", A Mou's debut film "Red Sorghum" scored more than 8 points on Douban and Mtime. The highest score "To Live" reached 9 points.
"House of Flying Daggers" and "Three Shots Surprise", the two scores did not exceed 5.5...
After time precipitation, "House of Flying Daggers" rose to 6.4 points, still ranking bottom...
A gorgeous pile of shit!
Of course, Ah Mou doesn't care about this now, the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics is enough to make him worry...
There is also a good thing, "Hero" will be released on a large scale in North America soon...
The large scale here refers to logging into mainstream theaters, at least 2000+ canvases!
Well, Miramax bought the copyright for 1500 million US dollars, and it has been hidden until now...
In fact, it's not Xuezang. After Miramax broke up with Disney, Harvey didn't have time to pay attention to a Chinese movie.
I heard it was Quentin's strong recommendation, and even signed "Hero" as the producer...
In addition, it is not Feng Xiaogang or Shen Xudong who want to compare with "House of Flying Daggers", but the media always compare these two films...
Horse riding, what is the comparison?
The overseas copyright of "House of Flying Daggers" was sold for nearly 4000 million U.S. dollars, and the Japanese box office was close to 2200 million U.S. dollars...
On the other hand, "Lost Orphan", its overseas box office is negligible...
Feng Xiaogang is not a Mou, let alone overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan are not well-known...
After the unhappiness with Colombia, there is almost no need to talk about overseas markets!
Of course, the 6700 million download score is enough to split the bill!
The specific account share has nothing to do with Shen Xudong, and he has no box office share...
……
Huayi Brothers’ 2004 was a year of great strides. They invested in Lu Chuan’s “Kekexili”, won Zhou Xingchi’s “Kung Fu”, and also hooked up with Zhang Jizhong by the way, and decided to become the investor of “Sculpture”. …
But Huang Zhongjun was always restless because Feng Xiaogang left!
Feng Xiaogang can be regarded as Huayi's cash cow. Starting from "Endless", the two parties have collaborated on five films: "Endless", "Be There or Be Square", "Chicken Feathers", "Big Wrist", and "Mobile Phone". Some earn!
In today's movie environment, it is even more difficult to earn three words than to reach the sky!
But Feng Xiaogang just did it...
Of course, the two sides still maintain close ties. Huayi is the joint producer of "Lost Orphans", "Party A and Party B 2", "A World Without Thieves", accounting for 40% of the investment share...
"Lost Orphan", Huang Zhongjun is not very optimistic.
This theme, plus there is no star lineup - Ge You didn't even appear in it!
It is estimated that the box office will be in the early 1000 million at most...
This prediction is very scientific. After all, there was "House of Flying Daggers" before and Hollywood blockbusters later, and the living space is only 15 days...
Of course, Huang Zhongjun still fully supported the release of "Lost Orphans"...
After all, you still have to show your strength!
I never thought that "Lost Orphan" would explode...
What is the concept of 6700 million box office?
It surpassed "Mobile Phone" and set a new record in Feng Xiaogang's film career...
This result really exceeded everyone's expectations, because Feng Xiaogang is known as the king of the New Year's Eve, and everyone thinks that he will not have any big achievements in the summer...
As the first play after leaving Huayi, it fought a beautiful battle.
Huang Zhongjun is both happy and a little frustrated...
The happy thing is that as an investor in "Lost Orphans", the box office hit means that Huayi can recover the cost and make a lot of money;
Frustrated...Leaving Huayi, Feng Xiaogang's movies are still making money!
The so-called winning is not terrible, whoever is missing is embarrassing, and Huayi was tested once!
It turned out that Feng Xiao had just left Huayi, and he could do things himself.
This is embarrassing...
But... No matter how embarrassing it is, I still have to pick him up.
Wrong, it's not a pick-up, it's a rendezvous, a small celebration banquet in the whole interior...
……
There are about five waves of investors in "Lost Orphans". Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang's Taihe People invested 30%, Forbidden City Films invested 15%, Huayi Brothers invested 40%, and the remaining 25%, China Film Investment 10%, Xinying Gao Jun from United Cinemas and Wu Hehu from Shanghai United Cinemas shared the remaining 15%...
There must be theater support!
Now that the box office is selling well, logically speaking, the whole celebration banquet should be celebrated, isn't this the theme of "Lost Orphan" is special...
Therefore, it can only be celebrated in private.
The people involved are here...
Add one piece to nearly thirty people!
Shen Xudong knew most of them, except for those directors of the theaters, Feng Xiaogang led him to give Gao Jun a special opinion.
Gao Jun really watched the birth of "Party A and Party B", and has always supported Feng Xiaogang...
"Boss Gao is my benefactor!"
Shen Xudong changed his words decisively: "...Uncle Gao..."
"Isn't it you who wrote "Lost Orphany"? It's really well written!"
"...Thank you...the main director is capable..."
"Then there has to be a story behind it!"
After chatting for a while, Wu Hehu also joined in...
Gao Jun, Wu Hehu, and Zhao Jun, the general manager of China Film Southern Film Shinkansen, a major distributor at this stage, code-named the Three Musketeers of Chinese Film Distribution...
Wu Hehu is the general manager of Shanghai United Cinemas...
"I read the scripts of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "Legend of the Xing'an Mountain Hunter"...I can say responsibly that these two films can recover their cost in Shanghai!"
"Really? Thanks to Uncle Wu for his support..."
Gao Jun asked: "What "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village"..."
"He wrote two folk tales for Tang Ren, with a bit of horror elements. When it's released, the New Film Federation will also support it!"
"…horror movie?"
"The script is very brilliant, you will know it after reading it!"
Wu Hehu has no doubt that "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" will be a hit...
"What horror movie?"
Huang Zhonglei came over with a cup in his hand, and naturally joined the topic.
Wu Hehu originally wanted to explain, but he couldn't remember the script, so he simply pointed at Shen Xudong: "Ask him, he wrote the script!"
"...Xiao Shen? You also wrote horror movies?"
Zhang Guoli saw Huang Zhonglei walking over, and hurried to follow. Hearing this, he immediately interjected: "This kid is very powerful. He analyzed the history of film sales records by himself, and concluded that comedies and horror films are most likely to be big with their small ones..."
Huang Zhonglei immediately asked: "Then why not do comedy?"
"Comedy needs comedians to back it up..."
"Can't Ge You?"
"...I write scripts for comedians who don't care about their image...and I don't have any pure comedy scripts for now..."
"If there is a notebook, Huayi will take it!"
Zhang Guoli chuckled: "If there is a notebook... I want it too!"
This is a bit about...
It's also normal, "Lost Orphan" earned at least 2000 million, and "Party A and Party B 2" has little profit problem...
It can be said that after the battle of "Lost Orphans", Shen Xudong has become a hot screenwriter!
"Two uncles, wait a moment, I have an idea..."
"what idea?"
"...It's an ancient costume film. I discovered it by reading the history of the Tang Dynasty. The Iron-Blooded Anxi Army fought alone in the Western Regions for forty years... There have been countless battles in the middle, I plan to call it "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"..."
"How are you going to write it?"
"The story begins with a group of veterans sending military funds from Qiuci City to Xizhou... On the way, there was a robbery by a horse bandit, and there was only one old man left in the team...A refugee passed by the scene of the robbery, thinking of picking something useful from the corpse... "
