Chapter 32 Commendation Conference (1/3)

"Spring" is still quite weak. It was released in March, catching up with "Zootopia". There are also "Batman v Superman", "The Revenant"...

With the size of "Spring", sandwiched among so many blockbusters, it would be considered a great success if the box office exceeded 100 million!

But the company took a look at the market and the popularity of meatballs and set a minimum box office target of 200 million...

There are also other companies that want to buy out the issuance at a premium...

For example, Weiying issued a guaranteed issuance of 400 million yuan.

Being rejected by Tianxia Entertainment, the company has to consider Maoyan's opinion...

Shen Changlin also personally helped promote it, which was actually just blowing his dick during an interview.

"Rouba was recommended to me by Sister Shan after accidentally watching the casting for "The King's Feast". She said that this girl was perfect for "East Palace"... During the audition, she was dressed in red... and it turned out to be Qu Xiaofeng! "

"... In terms of appearance, he has big eyes and small mouth, suitable for acting cute. He has a three-dimensional and unique high bridge of nose. He is fierce and cold when he acts. Even when he plays a man, he doesn't feel out of place. He has a heroic spirit! He has a wide range of acting options!"

"I was contacted by Mr. Tian for "Spring". Mr. Tian is my master's master. Originally, if I continued to take the postgraduate entrance examination, I could study directing under Mr. Tian. But I was in a hurry to debut, so I didn't study in depth..."

"Director Bai Xue is my uncle. I have seen her short films and she is definitely capable of directing a feature film. I also liked the script of "Spring", so I became a producer..."

Oh, he was interviewed on the red carpet at the Directors Guild Recognition Conference...



This year’s commendation conference will be exclusively broadcast by Tencent Video.

With a broadcast platform, there are sponsors.

The sponsors are Cartier and Douyin...

That’s right, Douyin came out…

Shen Changlin opened the show as usual.

He came on stage, dressed quite casually, black suit pants + knitted cardigan + T-shirt. He waved to the audience and then raised the microphone: "Yes, it's me again! I was pulled into the prime position again. Director Shao Hong said a thousand A billionaire goes on stage to talk about a talk show, amusing a bunch of migrant workers, and having fun with the people, just like Ma Yun dressed up as a girl at Ahri's annual party!"

"I said that even if I die, I won't wear women's clothes, and I'm not a billionaire... 90 billion at most!"

"Director Shao Hong asked if she understood what analogy is... I talked to her about women's clothing for a long time... In fact, there is nothing terrible about women's clothing. Psychological research shows that transvestites are generally not aggressive. Of course, if they don't look so like et. Better!"

"Okay, back to this, let's talk about the director's threshold..."

"Last year's total box office data was 50 billion. What is the concept? The weight of a hundred-yuan bill is 1.15 grams. One hundred thousand is two and a half kilograms, one million is 23 kilograms, five million is 115 kilograms, and one hundred million is 2,300 kilograms. Ten billion is 23,000 jins, and 50 billion is 115,000 jins, which is more than three times heavier than Sun Wukong’s Ruyi Golden Cudgel!”

"This is a joke. The purpose of saying this is to tell everyone that the market is very good. We are already the second largest market in the world after North America. We should sit back and watch one."

"In the early years, when a movie sold 200 million yuan, we were very applauded. But last year, the market told us that this number had already been increased to 0. Of course, there are also many problems, such as the ghost scene, half of which is included. The game was locked, the game was locked...a bunch of messy operations, and the "Ip Man 3" movie some time ago was blatantly raking in votes..."

"So, I have long said that Huli.com + finance + movies, which sounds illegal...Ali's Entertainment Bao and Baidu's Baifa Youxi seem to have been closed..."

"Don't envy Hollywood for openly using Wall Street funds... In fact, having more money may not be a good thing. Apart from "Avatar", has there been any other impressive movies in Hollywood in the past ten years? Various sequels, comic book movies... Because now The people who control each company are professional managers, and what they are good at is capital games, not film art!"

"Well, talking about directors...a big change has happened in the past few years. Many people have crossed over to become directors. I personally think that any occupation that does not require qualification certification or professional title evaluation or the issuance of certificates basically has no threshold. People who are not doctors have to change careers. I'm afraid you have to put in a lot of energy to be a doctor, but there is no need to be a director. Nowadays, many directors are in name only, and the scene is basically handed over to the executive director. Isn't there a saying that the increase in cross-border directors has significantly improved the execution efficiency? Director’s ability!”

"Movies and TV dramas are an industry where it is easy to make money now. As long as a star artist becomes famous, he will make movies. Fans, out of love for the artist, will watch the movies and TV dramas directed by them, even if the reputation is not good. It’s bad, but with the influence of celebrities and fans, the box office can still exceed 100 million, or even reach hundreds of millions.”

"The transition to becoming a director has always happened. Directors Ah Mou and Zhang Li were photographers before, and director Feng Xiaogang was an artist. In fact, there is no threshold for being a director. This threshold is set in the heart of every director and is a reflection of the film's The understanding of art is a consensus on good movies and respect for the art of movies."

"There are no barriers or thresholds for directors, only good directors have them."

The audience burst into applause, thinking what he said was really good.

Nonsense, these are all condensed and refined golden sentences, is that okay?



At this year's commendation conference, the best film was awarded to "International Market", and the best director was also Amou...

However, the award for Actor of the Year was actually awarded to Feng Xiaogang - "Old Paoer"...

The actress of the year is Yang Xiaomi's "Monster Hunt", "Get Out! Tumor King", and "Treasure Hunters 2". The three dramas directly grossed 4.1 billion in box office...

By the way, there was also the Young Director of the Year award, which was awarded to Bi Gan for "Roadside Picnic".

Wild Wong Kar-wai has since gained capital attention, and then Huace and Huang Xiaoming invested in his next work "The Last Night on Earth", creating a publicity scam on a film history level!

Anyway, it has nothing to do with Shen Changlin...

He was chatting with Jackie Chan who was sitting next to him.

Jackie Chan has two films to be released this year - "Escape" and "Railway Tiger"...

In addition, after "The Vengeful Man", he regained his strength, and several good action movies found him.

"Rush Hour 4" and "Kung Fu Dreams 2" are all on the schedule, and there is also "Manhattan" which has been promised for 13 years!

Shen Changlin couldn't say anything, after all, this was Jackie Chan's own business!

In fact, the first principle that agencies treat first-line artists is to control exposure.

If an artist appears in movies, TV, variety shows, advertisements and other stages without restraint, it does not prove his commercial value, but is considered an abuse of the artist.

The consequences of over-exposure for artists will inevitably be aesthetic fatigue of the audience, which will in turn affect the future development of the artists.

So you will see that artists such as Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson have strict restrictions on how many movies they can take on every year, and they are not allowed to act as they please.

Of course, the premise is that you are a first-line artist. If you are a newcomer who has just debuted, of course you have to strive for exposure...
Chapter completed!
