This director is very reliable

Chapter 173 Daily life (third update)

"How do Chinese films enter overseas? Some people say that we want to conquer the North American market. Facts have proved that it is impossible in a short time!

Back then we made "Red Cliff" and spent more than [-] million U.S. dollars. As a result, North America did not accept it at all. I remember that less than [-] theaters were arranged to release it..."

"Red Cliff" hit Dong Han very hard...

A big price, a great international director, and the theme of the Three Kingdoms, I didn't expect that North America and Europe would not buy it at all!

However, at least it is better than "The Promise", "The Promise" did not recover the cost at all!

"I now think it's best for us to establish ourselves in Asia first. The proposal you mentioned is very good. Let's make an entertainment movie co-produced by China and South Korea..."

Before Shen Changlin refused, Director Han said again: "I leave this project to you for preparation, I don't worry."

No, why are you relieved?

There is a kind of inexplicable feeling, he just said something casually, why is it still a task?
"Han Dong, let me just say it casually..."

"What do you lack?"

Shen Changlin's eyes widened: "The direction of the script, actors, funds, nothing, what should I do?"

He's all set to do Honey...

Sudden assignment?

"Didn't you propose the direction of the script? A purely entertaining adventure movie like Ocean's Eleven... Actors, who do you want to use, I will help coordinate, funds... Are you still short of funds?"

Shen Changlin felt dumbfounded...

"It will be filmed this year, and it will be released next year... Treat it as a gift to Chinese movies, and it can also be regarded as a retirement gift to me!"

"...OK, I'll go back and get ready."

When it comes to this, Shen Changlin can only agree!
……

In the car, Shen Changlin was thinking about how to make this entertainment film...

It has been promised, so it must be done in a more beautiful way.

First of all, it must be the type of group robbers;

This genre is a specialized subgenre in Hollywood. Without exception, it is basically a visual effects blockbuster + handsome and beautiful stars. You pile money into it, and then earn more money back.

Typical is the Ocean's Eleven series, and more recently the Fast and Furious series...

Secondly, in addition to paying enough homework for genre films, the story must also have new ideas.

The "League of the Lost Treasure" of the original space-time grafted an external gangster story on a revenge story, which was very ambitious and created a complex gang of protagonists.

This can be used for reference, but the second half of "League of the Lost Treasure" is obviously routine, and the paragraphs are obviously close to traditional animations, not much new...

At last…

It is also the reason why Shen Changlin is tempted to create an entertainment commercial blockbuster co-produced by China and South Korea!

At the same time, harvest the markets of China and South Korea.

After all, his goal is to become a director of big commercial films. If he only focuses on the domestic market, that's fine, but he always feels that the structure is not big enough...

Now I have the opportunity to make a big production, and it is a bandit property, co-produced by China and South Korea...

There is no reason to refuse!

Am I looking for Jun Ji Hyun or Son Ye Jin?
So tangled...

Forget it, make the script first!

Movies with team attributes, script settings, characters with templates...

"Fast and Furious" joked that there may be one boss, deputy, and the younger brother who is responsible for making jokes, maybe two, and then the boss's woman...

Just follow suit...

Just thinking about it, the phone rang, it was Shi Shi's call.

Shen Changlin stopped imagining, and connected the phone: "Hello...I'm in the car, I just went to see Director Han...Go home right away..."

"What do you want to eat? Can you cook?"

"... Then the hot pot restaurant we often eat... Well, bye..."

……

When Shen Changlin returned to China, Liu Shishi was very excited.

It's not that the symptoms can be effectively relieved if you are in a hurry. Of course, this is also one of the reasons. The main reason is that we haven't seen each other for too long.

She felt like she had a lot to say.

Talk to him about her progress - when she was filming "Three Lives III", Shen Changlin helped her arrange an acting teacher to guide her acting skills.

Talk to him about her favorite snack advertisement - she likes a biscuit from Baijun and eats it all the time, then the brand contacted her and became the spokesperson!
Then, Shen Changlin opened the door, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"what is this?"

While changing his slippers, Shen Changlin said, "I saw this blue rose sold in a flower shop. It's so strange. Do you like it?"

"…like!"

She grinned happily, and then noticed his backpack: "This is the Silver Bear?"

"Yeah, do you want to see it?"

Shen Changlin opened the bag, and there was a wooden box inside. When the wooden box was opened, it was the Silver Bear Award trophy...

It looks ugly at first glance, but take a closer look...

How about just looking at it!

Just a little bear waving his hands.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see the eyes at all, just like a mass of silver metal!

Shi Shi took it a little excitedly, and looked at it carefully: "It's so beautiful!"

"How good is it? Don't say anything against your will."

"..." Liu Shishi rolled his eyes at him, then looked around: "Where should I put this thing?"

Shen Changlin reminded: "I have a safe..."

"Then put it in your safe!" Shi Shi replied casually, and then remembered something: "Why do you have a safe?"

"Save something... why can't I have a safe?"

Liu Shishi suddenly looked at him vigilantly: "... Are the things you took before in there?"

What to shoot?

Shen Changlin recalled it for a while. The original owner seemed to be a guy who likes to record beautiful moments, just like Mr. Chen. He hurriedly said: "... I deleted it a long time ago, and the camera was destroyed by me!"

"That is not bad…"

Followed into the bedroom, put the little silver bear in the safe, and then...

I was not in a hurry to explore the abyss, I was very hungry, so I went directly to the hot pot restaurant...

……

"I think you can let auntie open a hot pot restaurant here."

"Ok?"

Walking into the box, Shen Changlin took off his mask.

"Auntie doesn't have a job anyway!"

Shi Shi shook his head: "She has to take care of my dad, and it's not that easy to open a hot pot restaurant."

"How difficult can it be?"

Shen Changlin didn't take it seriously. Opening a hot pot restaurant is the most popular choice for a celebrity sideline. The main reason is simplicity!

Hot pot is the most standardized Chinese food. Everything can be produced in a factory, and it can be served on the table after being delivered to the store with simple operations...

"The most important thing is that we have to worry about someone taking pictures when we come here to eat, it's too uncomfortable!"

"That's not okay, even if my mother opens a shop, the waiters she hires are outsiders!"

"If I didn't care about my reputation, I would have come by myself~"

The waiter served the dishes, closed the door, and left. Shi Shi put the meat rolls into the hot pot and asked, "What's wrong with running a restaurant?"

"Hehe...you underestimate the influence of celebrities!" Shen Changlin took a sip from his water glass, and then said: "Let's just talk about you, find a franchisee franchisee, and publicize that you are the one who opened the restaurant, but in reality In fact, you didn’t actually participate in the operation at all, and all the operations were handled by the catering company, so you just did the endorsement and publicity.”

"Then... how to make money?"

"Simple, just join!"

Whoever makes money by running a restaurant, earns all the franchise fees, okay?
"Join?"

"Yes, because of your reputation, franchisees need to pay a one-time franchise fee of 48 yuan and a deposit of 5 yuan. It is equivalent to a franchise store, and you can earn 53 yuan. Of course, it's not like this. You have to Divide part of the money to the company that helps you run..."

"How is it possible, who will join?"

"Hehe, you have underestimated your reputation. Also, you can brag, write a bad check, that's all right? For example, you can run a family with your heart, and then use this as a template to promote, bragging about how much money you earn every month. The gross profit rate is 60%, and the return on investment period is only 9.46 months, which is a very scary figure. Everyone will want to join!"

Oh, what he was talking about was the Xianhezhuang model. Chen He’s Xianhezhuang has more than [-] franchise stores across the country. In addition, Chen He also introduced this model to his good brothers Zheng Kai (Huo Fengxiang), Huang Jiaozhu ( Burning Jiangnan), Sun Yizhou (Stove Threshold)...

Are these restaurants delicious?
Delicious eggs!

It's a big deal for Nima!
The most important thing for a restaurant is to provide customers with good dishes, but star restaurants bring a large number of fans and diners through the popularity of stars, but they do not bring good experiences to diners.

So how do they make money?

What they earn is the franchise fee, not by operating the restaurant. Now that the franchise fee has been received, they are no longer worried about whether the franchise store is alive or dead.

Although most of the franchisees will eventually lose everything.

However, regardless of whether the franchisee is dead or alive, the stars have already made a lot of money.
