"I don't know much about Hollywood, so the casting of "Knives Out" was left to Warner, because they are the only ones who know who is at odds with whom. These are resources kept in the pockets of Hollywood bosses."

Shen Changlin was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter...

Publicity is always necessary!

"I feel like Hollywood is different from what I thought. It's a bit too particular about appearances, and travels in at least first class... I used to travel in economy class because I couldn't get to first class ten minutes early, and then I bought a private jet..."

"To be honest, Hollywood nowadays has kind of lost the idea of ​​making movies and is all thinking about making money!"

"I often say one thing, if you want to make money, don't make movies. You can do the Internet. You can see for yourself. The market value of the six Hollywood companies together is not as high as that of Oracle in Silicon Valley!"

"Of course it's important to make money...but you can't just make comic book adaptations, but also make movies for Marvel and DC. Who will make "The Godfather" and "Once Upon a Time in America"?"

"A healthy film market cannot just be the circulation of films with one theme..."

"But if I were in their position, I would also make comic adaptations..."

"Because comic book movies can avoid many cultural differences to the greatest extent and can be accepted by audiences around the world. Moreover, the low production capacity of original stories is also accompanied by risks. At this time, comic book movies with a mass base are the best choice! "

"But I personally don't have much interest in this kind of movies...and we are not a large company, so we are following a non-mainstream model, a large-scale comic book adaptation, and we can't afford it..."

"Regarding "Knives Out", I have to admit that I am a fan of Agatha Christie and have always wanted to make an Agatha Christie-style mystery and suspense film... So, I made "Knives Out"..."

"I don't talk about politics. These things were added by the second screenwriter and have nothing to do with me!"

"The story of "Detective Huang Lanke" will definitely continue. I should not be the director. After all, my main job is to serve the Chinese audience!"

While talking about this, a reporter from "The Hollywood Reporter" asked about Longwood's sale to Comcast.

"This is very complicated. Anyway, my explanation to the outside world is that it's hard to mess around in North America!"

"What's the real reason?"

"The year before last, 16 members of the U.S. House of Representatives jointly submitted a petition to stop Wanda's acquisition of Dick Clark Productions...the reason was concerns about China's attempt to censor subject matter and control of propaganda in the U.S. media. I was thinking that the United States may not welcome foreign investment, so, Just sold it!”

"Is it that simple?"

"Yes, the most important thing is that Comcast is very generous and the conditions offered are tempting enough!"

Lao Wang buys and buys in Hollywood. For these frequent large investments, the CNBC host used the popular Hollywood term "dumb money" to describe...

Obviously, everyone is not friendly to funds from China!

"Of course I hope that art will not be related to politics, but we all know that art, especially film art, is usually closely related to politics...otherwise, Hollywood would not be the stronghold of the Danzo Party!"

"The reason why "Wolf Warrior 2" is a big hit in China is very simple. This movie is made for Chinese people..."

…

The exclusive interview with "The Hollywood Reporter" also mentioned Shen Changlin's assets. Shen Changlin did not have exact statistics, but only said, "I am quite rich"...

In fact, according to Forbes' predictions, Shen Changlin's net worth is around US$8 billion.

Game companies and Toutiao account for the majority of the shares. Of course, Toutiao is still dormant, and Douyin has not yet become awesome...

Just wait a few more years!

With the release of the latest issue of "The Hollywood Reporter", "Knives Out" topped the box office list for the second weekend...

It also brought the cumulative box office to 92 million US dollars...

In fact, the influence of "The Hollywood Reporter" is just that.

The main reason is that the opponent is not strong enough!

The new week saw the release of "The Magnificent Felicity", "Birth of the Dragon" and a literary film "They Are All Saints"...

"The Magnificent Felicie" is a French cartoon, a very failed work - the French gave up their strengths in art and literature and philosophy, and tried Disney-style animation routines. The plot is very simple: an energetic boy Howling silly Baitian counterattacked Bai Fumei under the golden finger halo of Kaibangtian...

The box office was okay, US$102 million worldwide!

It can be seen that the story of Silly Baitian’s counterattack has an audience!

Of course, the cost of this film is not low...

"Birth of the Dragon" is a biographical film about Bruce Lee!

The investor is Kirin Pictures…

The boss, Pang Hong, was previously the vice president of Ningxia Film Group and worked on "Painted Skin"...

Established Qilin Pictures and produced several films, all with foreign themes, with investment starting from 100 million for each film - "Sun and Moon Mermaid", "The Birth of the Dragon"...

It is said that the cost of "The Birth of the Dragon" was 250 million!

Except for one film, "Hacksaw Ridge," all the others have failed at the box office with word-of-mouth hits, and some of them are far from even being released...

By the way, in the past few years, many companies have frequently followed the route of international blockbusters, but they have ignored the quality of the movies. They claim to have invested hundreds of millions, but some have completed the filming and some have not released it. It seems that they don’t care about the box office at all...

Moreover, most of the bosses of these companies come from former state-owned film companies.

Where do they get their money from?

have no idea…

…

Shen Changlin only stayed in North America for ten days, and then returned to China...

We also talked about a few projects, including "Aquaman", "Joker" and "Ready Player One"...

"Aquaman", in fact, Warner is not very optimistic about it, because Aquaman is inferior - "The Big Bang Theory"...

"Aquaman Sucks!" gradually became this character's new label.

In the latest comic reboot, Neptune was even kicked out of the Big Seven. When he went to order food at a restaurant, he was complained, "You can talk to fish, so you can't eat fish..."

It’s not very popular!

Why shoot it?

The five giants of "Justice League" all have to have solo movies!

After watching "Aquaman" and seeing the majestic underwater world, I couldn't help but think of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea in Journey to the West...

Well, in the second half of this year, the Sino-US co-production of Journey to the West will be officially launched. I will continue to play the Monkey King Sun Wukong. I will use the artistic image of the Monkey King to work hard to create a positive image, blossom both in culture and sports, and promote Chinese culture. I hope everyone Can you pay more attention...

"Ready Player One" is because Spielberg hasn't had a hit work for several years!

After messing up "Giant" the year before last, Disney also tore up the four-film cooperation contract signed by Disney and Spielberg...

After bringing it back, we negotiated three movie collaborations and Shen Changlin returned to China directly.

Not even involved in the casting of Hai Hou...

After all, Amber Heard is a person who defecates on other people's beds, and Shen Changlin's taste is not that strong!

This woman is so cruel that Depp was suppressed by her for three years.

As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, so why bother?

…

After Shen Changlin returned to China, he directly followed Yu Qian to NMG for a week before returning to the capital.

Qian Ge specially invited...

It just so happened that Shen Changlin didn't want to work, so they hit it off immediately!

When I returned to the capital, I immediately received a call from Lao Guo...

I still have to work - "Knives Out" will be released in China soon.

"'Knives Out' has won the North American box office for three consecutive years. You broke Wu Yusen's record back then!"
Chapter completed!
