This director is very reliable

Chapter 113 Knowledge

By the way, "Sou Su" still lacks Zhang Mu, Shen Liushu's assistant. Shen Changlin mentioned this role to Zhang Yi, and the latter expressed his willingness to play a cameo...

That's it!

Once the actors have been found, the pre-planning work can start.

The overall planning work includes funds, personnel, shooting, advertising, sponsorship and peripheral work.

"Search" is a realistic work, and it is a modern drama, so there are many things that can be implanted, but this drama Shen Changlin himself has requirements, so the implants cannot be flooded...

That's enough!

"Big Shot" sold [-] million yuan, and a bunch of brands wanted to implant "Search"...

Mobile phones, computers, cameras...

Include some websites.

By the way, Weibo has spent 3000 million yuan, and it is required to change the main content, that is, the "search" thing into Weibo search...

Shen Changlin has no objections!
Whether it is Baidu search or Weibo search, it will not have much impact anyway.

Baidu does not give money, but Weibo gives advertising fees, so use Weibo!
According to incomplete statistics, the placement of advertisements is close to 5000 million...

Finally, the small goal has been achieved: the film has not been shot yet, and the cost has been recovered.

These are mainly handed over to the production team, and Shen Changlin is busy giving "Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield" a platform...

The promotion of "Legend of the White Snake" is very lively. Sometimes it says, "Venice sells very well, it is called the Chinese version of "Pirates of the Caribbean"", and then it says, "[-] million funds to create, the highest level of special effects in China"...

At the premiere press conference, Li Lianjie said sincerely, "I was fooled into coming here. I agreed to be a guest star and became a leading actor... I agreed to take ten days, but it took 25 days to shoot. I was really cheated. I originally said I didn't play a role." , but the fight never ends! '

'There are still 3 days to mix, after which this film will have nothing to do with me. ', 'I forgot what the story is about! '

This kind of behavior, we call it a mess!
Probably because he was not satisfied with the money he got for the supporting role, but he played the leading role...

By the way, when the reporter asked him which movie he was looking forward to more, "Legend of the White Snake" or "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", he also said honestly: "I have been filming martial arts scenes for most of my life. In terms of breakthroughs, "Dragon Gate" is more challenging. 3D martial arts, yes. A new display of Chinese martial arts to the world. '

However, in the following press conference, he cooperated very well, playing with Fa Hai's Zen staff and shaking the stage...

In an interview, I also exaggerated the special effects of "Legend of the White Snake" - when it was screened in Venice, I met a few American journalists, and I heard them say that I really didn't expect Chinese movies to develop so fast. Shocking, I can't put it down, and now "Legend of the White Snake" has changed this situation!

Why such a big change?

Who knows?

But "Legend of the White Snake" is really popular...

……

Uh…

In fact, this year's National Day file is three movies, in addition to "White Snake", "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" and "The Revolution of [-]", starring Jackie Chan...

It's not that I ignored it deliberately, it's because the presence of this film is too low!

It was originally released on September 9. In order to avoid direct competition with "Embroidered Spring Knife 26" and "White Snake", it may also be because of confidence in the film, and it will be released on September 2!

It is now September 9, "The Revolution of 26" was released for three days, with a cumulative box office of 1039 million!
That's right, starring Jackie Chan, it broke [-] million in the first weekend.

embarrassing comparison...

Anyway, when Shen Changlin was promoting "Xiu Chun Knife 2", reporters were strictly prohibited from mentioning "The Revolution of [-]"...

Of course, Shen Changlin has to help "Embroidered Spring Knife: Asura Battlefield" to support the stage. "Embroidered Spring Knife" is his first work, and the director of the second one has changed. Many viewers want to know the reason, the premiere ceremony, and interviews with the media , he put it this way:

"I talked about "Xiu Chun Knife" with director Lu Yang, and he felt that 'Xiu Chun Knife is not about the Jianghu. It is about people in the system. People who can't enjoy their own will, so this is not a martial arts movie.' Speaking of my heart..."

"This is also an important reason why I asked him to direct "Xiu Chun Knife 2"!"

"I don't really like directing sequel stories. Even if I wrote the script myself, I still don't like it...it's not fresh and challenging! Moreover, I watched Lu Yang's "Sura Battlefield". In this way, it is impossible to surpass him. I like to shoot some works that have not been filmed before, such as oriental fantasy themes, such as science fiction themes..."

"I have a plan, but it's just a general plan. When I finish filming "Search", I should give myself a vacation..."

"The director works with his right brain, which is emotional; while the producer mostly works with his left brain. How much the entire budget will cost to shoot this film, you have to consider the entire market recovery, whether you can have suitable actors..."

"Lu Yang is actually a director who doesn't need to be a producer, so we talked more about the details..."

"As a director, his own aesthetics and skills are sufficient..."

"Then do you have any requirements for the new director?"

"Yes, I don't expect them all to make money, I just hope that they will try not to lose everything..."

……

As one of the trump cards of "Embroidered Spring Knife 2", Shen Changlin not only attended the premiere press conference, but also accepted some interviews, and accompanied Wang Changtian to meet the theater managers...

With his current coffee position, it is indeed a bit of a drop in price to come to run public relations and road shows in person.

But there is no way, the theater chain has mastered the channel, you have to maintain a good relationship with them.

Especially with such a behemoth as "Legend of the White Snake".

Yu Dong said a word: To run is to drink!

Andy Lau also said, "I don't want to do film distribution anymore, because it's too embarrassing to have to eat and drink with film producers and theater owners." '

Oh, this was said when "The Storm" was released...

Theater managers, as professionals, will have a basic prediction before the film is released.

This prediction is not to speculate whether the audience likes it or whether the film has a good reputation, but to estimate how many viewers will pay for this film. The more people who are willing to buy tickets, the better.

Simply put, as long as the audience is willing to spend money, it's up to them whether they like it or not!

They expected 2 million for "Xiu Chun Dao 3", and 3 million for "Legend of the White Snake".

The same expectation, then PR is very important!

Lao Wang talked about a lot of release secrets, such as rebates: If you choose to "cooperate" with the theater, the theater will increase the film schedule appropriately.

This 'cooperation' is rebate!
"How much?"

"The upper limit is basically 3% of the box office... I won't give too much, after all, the producer's share is lower than that of the theaters..."

Shen Changlin instantly understood: "...then "Legend of the White Snake" is dead!"

Even if the cost of "Legend of the White Snake" is not as high as the 1.8 million that Yang Zhi said, it is at least over [-] million~ They can't rebate!
Wang Changtian smiled reservedly: "...It depends on the market performance."

Shen Changlin suddenly remembered something: "Did we also give rebates when "Big Shot" was released?"

Wang Changtian nodded: "...We only made the arrangement a week after the show..."
