This director is very reliable

Chapter 330 Circle Within Circle (44)

The box office of "The Thieves" is expected to stop at 14.8 billion. Even if 0.8 million is removed, it has already set a new box office record for Chinese-language movies, and it is a new high for the mainland movie market.

Boosted the market value of Enlight Media to exceed 450 billion, successfully surpassing Huayi Brothers and becoming the first entertainment company.

A bunch of media came to ask Huang Zhonglei what he thought.

What can he think?
"I think movies can't just focus on the movie itself. In addition to Huayi's creativity, it will continue to generate new value from the creative content. This is something that other companies have not done so far. For example, movie theme parks, movie culture streets, etc., constantly replenish the film tentacles other income."

"For example, the Di Renjie series, we will build a Di Renjie theme in the theme park..."

"However, "The Thieves" is a great inspiration to Chinese movies, which shows that magic themes can be sold well. The word-of-mouth and box office of "The Great Magician" back then were mediocre, and it is by no means that the magic theme itself is not good!"

Secretly poked and stepped on Fatty...

The cost of "The Great Magician" is 8000 million, the box office is 1.7 million, and the reputation is very mediocre-after all kinds of heartless entertainment elements are stewed, everyone finally finds that the whole story has nothing to do with magic!
"Of course congratulations to him, this is the pride of all Chinese filmmakers!"

On the surface, Huang Zhonglei is very kind and calm, but when it comes to "Private Order", he said, "Director Feng has already formed a brand advantage, and the king of Lunar New Year will always be the king!" '

""Dragon King of God Capital", director Xu is also a technology fanatic, underwater 3D, the world's first..."

However, after the chat, he was still a little angry...

Huayi's "Great Ape" this summer was a complete failure.

At the beginning, he vowed to declare that "the big Ming gorilla" will definitely set off a craze in Asia! '

Then, grossing $2600 million across Asia, the film cost $2500 million.

He felt that he was being tricked - the Chinese and South Korean co-productions were agreed, and the South Korean side only provided technology...

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it. Next, I will consider "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of the God of God" in the same schedule as "The Year in a Hurry"...

It's a bit difficult - "To Youth" has a box office of 7 million, "The Left Ear" has a box office of 5 million, and even "Little Times" has a box office of 3 million!
Youth themes are selling well!

Directed by Su Lun, produced by Shen Changlin, starring Liu Shishi, Yang Yang, Chen Xiao, Bai Jingting... By the way, there is also Lu Han...

At least [-] million at the box office!

The box office of the last "Tongtian Empire" was only 2.8 million, and "Dragon King of God" has lowered the configuration...

Huang Zhonglei really doesn't have much confidence!
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Dajun, the vice president of the film department, came over: "Mr. Huang, the trousers have made an appointment for dinner tonight... and Chen Daoming and Wang Shuo!"

"...dinner?"

"I heard that Chen Daoming took over Shen Changlin's new work "Thieves"..."

"where?"

"...it seems to be in XX..."

……

In fact, the times have changed. "If You Are the One 2" has been widely criticized by the media. These people have realized that this era is no longer the time for them to lie down—now the Chinese film industry, let's go down!

The box office of "Big Shot" was 8 million in the following year, and "Tai囧" was 12 billion in 13!
After that, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" 12 billion, "The Thief" 14 billion...

The box office data is getting more and more exaggerated, and what is even more depressing is that the overseas box office of "The Thief" is close to 6000 million US dollars!
A few of them had dinner in private, and they all complained about "1942"...

There is nothing wrong with complaining, "1942" is a good movie, whether it is the quality of completion, or the exploration and expansion of themes of Chinese movies, it has made great achievements.

Complaining a few words in private, or even scolding the audience for their ignorance, is fine.

In particular, many netizens pretended to say, "I have the ability to shoot "1962"!"You know the national crisis of consumption! '

But you shouldn't blame the audience in public or blame the market - movies are essentially serving the audience, and the audience is theoretically not wrong.

Back in the day, I heard that Chen Daoming had received an invitation from Shen Changlin to star in his new movie, and he was the protagonist. Several people wanted to know how his script was written.

Just set up a game!

There is no way, the Beijing circle also tried to win him over back then, treating guests, beheading, and accepting him as a dog. The way of treating guests was not accepted by others, and the latter two had no chance to show at all!

They formed the hills themselves, so they won't play with you.

This is hard...

……

In a private room of a restaurant, Chen Daoming handed the script to Wang Shuo, who quickly read it...

It's the outline of the script and a brief analysis of the silent characters...

Not a complete script!

Chen Daoming is still very professional - he knows the meaning of the words 'no rumors' written on the script!
The outline of the script is very simple: it tells the story of a team of ten thieves from China and South Korea launching a joint operation to steal the rare and famous diamonds hidden in Macau casinos!

Typical loot movie.

In order to make Shen Mo’s reasons for organizing this group of people more sufficient, an element of revenge was added...

"This is the script?"

"... Well, the outline of the script and a brief analysis of the characters."

Wang Shuo looked down on it a bit: "It's too... vulgar!"

"...This script was discussed by the top commercial film screenwriters of China and South Korea. The story logic is smooth, and the main line of the characters is clear...The characters are also quite distinctive. The script of a commercial film, and there are 10 characters, can be made like this , already very good, "

"Let me see!"

Pants took the script and looked through it...

"Daoming, what do you think of this "Thieves"... The title is so bad!"

""Thieves" is a literal translation of the Korean film title, and the Chinese name is "The Alliance of Treasure Hunting"..." Chen Daoming continued: "I have filmed "Assassin's Tomb", this script is dozens of times better than that one, and Shen Changlin came to find it in person I told me that this drama should be a benchmark for Chinese-Korean co-productions... I can't refuse!"

"Hold you?"

Chen Daoming thought for a while: "It's true..."

"How did you hold it?"

"He said that if I don't act, those Korean actors don't know the level of Chinese actors..."

Wang Shuo glanced at Chen Daoming, and then said: "Don't tell me, this kid... has a lot of vision!"

"...Fuck you! Sooner or later I will be blown up by you guys!" "No, you can blow it up if you have the ability!"

The two were chatting happily, Huang Zhonglei opened the door and walked in, and greeted with a smile: "They are all here!"

"...Boss Huang?"

……

Daoming Chen and Shuo Wang didn't like to see Huang Zhonglei very much...

Nodding acquaintance…

The relationship between Huayi and the Beijing circle is one of mutual use.

Of course I will vote for projects that I am optimistic about, and of course I will not vote for projects that are not optimistic. It had to be Pants who found other investors and drank several big drinks with them before the investment was settled.

Not only Ye Jing, but also Xu Cairen's "Du Lala's Promotion" was looking for investors, but Hua Yi did not invest.

Therefore, it is not quite accurate to say that Huayi is the bridgehead of the Beijing circle.

Later, Pants held a family banquet, which was to let Miao Miao dance... A bunch of friends were invited, but there were no Huang brothers!

There are also clear distinctions in the circle!
But because of the pants, he still gave a good face.

"...This is Shen Changlin's movie script?"

Pants handed him the script: "It's an introduction to the script, and you can find it online!"

Huang Zhonglei was a little dissatisfied: "...Why didn't you give you a detailed script?"

Before Chen Daoming could speak, he said in his pants, "The complete script can't be spread casually, it hasn't been filmed yet!"

"We are not outsiders..."

Chen Daoming said: "He told me that this is a bandit movie, referring to "Ocean's Eleven" and "Fast and Furious" series, and then adding the main line of revenge..."

"How much does it cost?"

"1.8 million... This is a co-production between China and South Korea."

"China-Korea co-production..." Huang Zhonglei smiled: "Hua Yi also made a China-Korea co-production...Unfortunately, the box office failed miserably. I'm curious why Shen Changlin can sell every movie!"
