This director is very reliable

Chapter 443 May
Shen Changlin didn't mention "Happy Death Day" on a whim...

Later, a very weird phenomenon appeared in the North American film market: various superhero movies with big head productions, such as "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", "Alita: Battle Angel", "Men in Black: Global Pursuit", Almost all of them have collapsed, but the market for R-rated movies, which were previously regarded as synonymous with "alternative, extreme, and strong sensory stimulation", has expanded!
The reason is quite simple, there are too many things to avoid in a global production.

Swear words, dialogue, bloody violence and erotic scenes are not allowed, and the same is true for ideology. Extreme, terrorist, religious thoughts and the like must be cut out.

With so many regulations, if you can produce good works, you will be damned!
A full set of modes, also known as Hollywood classical narrative mode:
One or a group of protagonists is given a big goal, and he wants to go to accomplish this goal. In the process of accomplishing this goal, he will inevitably have conflicts with the villain who hinders him and his own heart. In addition, a secondary line will be added, usually with The protagonist produces a love line of romantic entanglement.

The final ending is generally a happy reunion, and must be rescued in the last 1 minutes, the protagonist has reached the goal.

This model began in the 1910s. It is like an assembly line factory, with professionals doing targeted work in each link, and the overall efficiency is very high.

It's scary to think about it. Such an assembly line factory has been prosperous for a century, a whole 100 years!
The R rating is different, so Bren House is famous!
"Insidious" series, "Ghost Story" series, "Human Purge" series, "Get Out" including "Happy Death Day"...

All are small and big.

Shen Changlin remembers that "A Quiet Place", "Return of the Clown", "Happy Death Day", and "After Lights Out" are all blockbuster movies, and all these movies are the main ones - except for "Return of the Clown".

The so-called theme first is to give a concept. For example, "A Quiet Place" is "almost all human beings on the earth are wiped out. The surviving family lives a quiet and silent life. If they make a sound, they will be captured by monsters. Keeping quiet is survival." The only rule, if they can't hear you, they can't hunt you down. '

"After Turning Off the Lights" is a short film derivative, based on a concept: there are ghosts when the lights are turned off;

"Happy Death Day" is simpler, campus + time loop + comedy...

Of course, to do this, Shen Changlin needs a partner, and Wen Ziren is the best choice!

He himself is a great director of horror genre films, and he has connections around him...

Although some benefits will be lost, but... so what?
It's a stolen idea in itself!

As for Lin Yibin...forget it, this person is too imaginary...

Every now and then, 'Hollywood should respect the Chinese market', do you respect it?
The director who can shoot "Fast and Furious 9" probably only has money in his mind!

In fact, a work of the size of "Happy Death Day" now proposes an idea, directly forms a team, shoots it, and then releases it in October. The fight is the cycle!

Shen Changlin asked Yang Fan to expand the original office, set up a studio, and hired professional producers to produce such works.

Most of the scripts are created by domestic screenwriters...

Changlin Film and Television has a lot of messy high-concept settings, such as infinite flow, main god space flow, and apocalyptic flow. It is really more creative than Hollywood. Hollywood is scum!
There was only one requirement, and the cost was kept under $800 million.

It's an imitation of the Bren House.

Bren House churns out 3-5 million movies.

The production cost is carefully calculated.Within this range, even if the film fails to be released, it can barely make up for it by selling the copyright to major websites.A dozen or so movies are produced every year, most of which suffer a little loss, but there are always one or two blockbusters, which can earn dozens of times the income.

Of course, we will cooperate with New Line to jointly fund and build...

By the way, Shen Changlin told Yang Fan to remember to pay attention to a director named Damien Chazelle.

Convinced his second film, La La Land, to be funded by the studio.

In fact, there is no need to persuade at all, because few people are optimistic about the project "La La Land" - a musical about jazz, and Damien Chazelle's college roommate is in charge of the music part...

This is a later story, press the table.

……

Speaking of the domestic market, the week after "Master of Hypnotism" was released, "You at the Same Table" was released.

Stealing "The Hypnotist"'s second-weekend box office champion...

No way, the current stage belongs to the best era of youth films, and behind "You at the same table" is the aggregation of two important forces, light and BJ culture~
And just in time for graduation...

Most importantly, "You at the Same Table" does enjoy IP value-added!
The box office of "You at the Same Table" exceeded [-] million in the first weekend, catching up with the hit youth film "To Youth" released at the same time last year...

The box office of "Master of Hypnotism" in the second weekend was 9100 million, which is already very good, almost the same as the first week!

Guang Guang couldn't agree more from ear to ear, not because the two films were released under its master control, but because "You at the Same Table" proved to be a big hit. Without Changlin Film and Television, we can also create blockbuster hits!
And then... "Going to See You Now" came out.

Released on April 4, as of May 28, in 7 days, the box office exceeded 4 million!
Xue Xiaolu + Wan Qian + Wang Kai, this combination is too powerful.

No one cares who the director is...

It's as if the director of "You at the Same Table" is not Guo Fan, it doesn't affect its success at all!

"I'm Going to See You Now" is released under the master control of Maoyan, and the fact is already obvious-changing a distribution company will not affect the popularity of Changlin's film and television works...

These have little to do with Shen Changlin, they are all established strategies!

After returning to China, he began to prepare for the release of "League of the Lost Treasure".

Release time confirmed: May 5rd!
China Film directly withdrew "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which was originally scheduled to be released on May 5, to September!
May 5rd was negotiated between China and South Korea. At the end of June there will be "Transformers 23", and in July there will be "Mingliang Sea Battle"...

As for the "X-Men" series, to be honest, the appeal of this theme in Asia is far less than that of Marvel.

……

Shi Shi was filming "Want to See You" recently, and invited a group of friends to make cameo appearances. Ye Qing and Xie Nan were all caught by her.

It's the first time to be the chief producer!
On this day, between filming, Shi Shi was sitting on a rest chair with his head up, with a wet towel on his face, feeling the coolness...

Huairou is quite hot in May.

The assistant came over suddenly: "Sister Shi Shi, someone is visiting the class!"

Taking off the towel, he asked unhurriedly, "...Who? Do you grow Brother Lin?"

"No...it's Tang Tang!"

Liu Shishi was a little surprised: "...she came to visit the class... let's go and have a look!"

Shi Shi was really surprised, the relationship between her and Tang Yan was quite... not very good, although it would not be a grudge.

After "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" last time, Shi Shi complained to her a few words, to the effect of "You have already accepted the show, why do you want me to recommend it for you?" Tang Yan didn't answer, and silently quit the group of Immortal Sword and Three Beauties...

Without the middleman, the only remaining Xianjian Shuangshu couldn't chat. The WeChat group was disbanded, and Shi Shi set the message Do Not Disturb.

However, when "The Master of Hypnotism" was released some time ago, Yang Xiaomi took the initiative to find Shi Shi and 'reported' to her the news of Tang Yan's guest appearance.

Shi Shi didn't have any idea, Yang Xiaomi was very angry, she felt that Tang Yan did it on purpose, knowing that she and Liu Qianqian were not getting along, and she ran over to help her make a cameo.

Isn't this slap me in the face!

Women's relationships are too complicated...

Arriving at the reception room of the crew, Tang Yan was chatting with Brother Hu, who played Hu Wenlei, the owner of the record store, as a friendly supporter of "Want to See You".

"Want to See You" male lead is Zhang Ruoyun, and the second male lead is Bai Jingting.

It's not about saving money. The main reason is that Wang Kai's age is beyond the standard. As for Chen Xiao and Yang Yang... they are too handsome to be suitable.

"Tang Tang, Lao Hu!"

Shi Shi warmly greets...

"Shi Shi is here..."

"Well," Shi Shi sat down and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to visit the class?"

"I came to BJ to promote the new drama. I heard that you guys are filming here. I thought I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here!"

Tang Tang smiled brightly.
