This director is very reliable

Chapter 628 They Are All Self-Motivated Girls! (twenty four)

block?

Shen Changlin couldn't help laughing...

It's a bit like Turkey provoking Russia, threatening to say, 'Turkey even fights with the Russian army! '

"Operation Mekong", even in the original time and space, the box office in Hong Kong is in the early tens of millions.

Compared with the mainland's 11.74 billion, even a fraction is more than it!

block?

Kill your sister!
Just like a report that Hollywood has completely ignored the Chinese market...

How did you come to that conclusion?
In the world's movie market where the second watch is the first, who doesn't care who.Go to Hollywood and ask, is there anyone who doesn't care?
Hong Kong market?

But Shen Changlin definitely couldn't say that directly, but smiled: "Of course we care about the Hong Kong market, otherwise, we wouldn't set up a branch here..."

"Let me popularize "Operation Mekong"...We always hear that Americans enforce laws across borders. Operation Mekong is actually the first time that Chinese police went overseas to enforce the law. "

"After the tragedy, the Chinese police set up a task force led by Liu Yuejin, director of the Narcotics Control Bureau, to investigate the Mekong River murder case. After two years and three arrests, Nuokang was finally arrested..."

"Why did you choose Lin Chaoxian as the director?"

"Because Lam Chaoxian has been making gangster films before, but I found that he went to extremes. "The Witness" and "Informant" are too Hollywood movies... In fact, the reason why Hong Kong movies are popular all over Asia is that they are different. You can't be too Hollywood. , just like Korean movies, although many people say that Korean movies are great, but they are still essentially Hollywood narratives..."

Shen Changlin went on to say: ""Inverse War" is actually pretty good, with a huge proportion of action scenes. While ensuring that the main narrative line is basically intact, the director used all available scenes and props to enjoy the excitement of snake spears and short guns, but "Inverse War" "War" has a fatal flaw, there is no support from the righteousness of the family and the country behind it!"

"I handed "Operation Mekong" to him, and there are only two requirements, one is exciting, and the other is good-looking!"

"So how did he do it?"

"...It's okay, anyway, I'm quite satisfied..."

……

"Operation Mekong"…

Of course it cannot be called a classic, after all, many things cannot be explained directly!

But in this schedule, it is really invincible.

On the first day of release, the box office was 5300 million, which is not particularly high.

It's normal, after all, it has a halo of the main theme...

But there are already countless people who are crazy about Amway, especially advocating scale:
"This is an adaptation of a real event. It doesn't take too long to kill if you say it. Whether it's a child soldier playing roulette, or a dealer stabbing a peasant woman to death, it's extremely shocking!"

"Haha, the Ministry of Public Security has directly approved the film, and the General Administration can't get in the way!"

Of course, the jokes that satirize Xiao Xianrou are indispensable...

"I watched it. Xiaotian's acting skills are really shocking. This time, the little fresh dog has completely abused the little fresh meat!"

It's an initial guide...

"Operation Mekong" will definitely be profitable, because the cost of [-] million yuan was clearly stated in the bidding meeting.

But this drama was very successful, and the Ministry of Public Security was very satisfied. The sale of copyrights must have cost more publicity and distribution costs. To offset it, the total investment in production and publicity was 1.5 million. If it is simply calculated at the box office, it will be almost 4.5 million yuan!
How could "Operation Mekong" not even get 4.5 million box office?
This is not counting the joint production premium income, future government incentives, foreign copyright sales and other income...

So, Shen Changlin didn't care...

……

When you arrive in Hong Kong, of course you have to attend a party...

As the proprietor, Huang Baigao has chartered a nightclub, specially entertaining Shen Changlin and a group of bigwigs from the Hong Kong circle...

Everyone, Shen Changlin knows most of them.

Huang Baiming, Zeng Zhiwei, Sammo Hung and of course Emperor Yang Shoucheng!

But... Shen Changlin didn't recognize any of the girls accompanying him!
Only after listening to the introduction did I know Zhu Zhixian, Su Haoer, Luo Cailing, Chen Jingyi...

Shen Changlin really didn't know him!
It's normal. How long has it been since he watched the latest Hong Kong movies and dramas?

The third-level film was renamed "West Lie Extremely Falling: The Explosive Prince's Space Capsule", which tells about realism...

Shen Changlin supported Huang Bogao's introduction, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you call these people?"

"...you don't like it?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I'm not used to it..."

Huang Baigao whispered: "These are newcomers from various families looking for opportunities. If you are not used to it, just ignore it!"

In fact, in the early years, being an artist was a harsh job in Hong Kong.You occupy resources, you must maintain a good state, including public image, appearance and figure, which are all part of the job.If there is a slight mistake, the seniors do not praise you, the media has opinions, not to mention offending certain capital forces, you can drown yourself with spitting stars.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong can be regarded as a conservative yet highly developed commercial society. The image of self-discipline and diligence that the public can see is the basic artistic virtue.

In fact, you can play many roles, and I can play them too. Why do I play them for you?

Of course there are some unspeakable things behind this!
Now, it's not the same - we all know that the entertainment industry is easy to make money...

Instead of giving the opportunity to some young people with no background, I might as well praise my own son - that's what the Xiang family did.

In this way, it will be even more difficult for newcomers to succeed!
I can only go to various drinking games...

They are all motivated girls...

Forget it, do as the Romans do, as the Romans do...

……

Zeng Zhiwei spoke first: "I heard that for a drama in the mainland, the actor's salary can be 5000 million?"

"...Depending on the size, if the platform of this drama is willing to buy 5000 million yuan, of course I will pay the leading actor [-] million yuan, because the platform is interested in the popularity of the leading actor!"

"platform?"

Shen Changlin explained: "Video platforms...the three major video platforms in the mainland, iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video, spend billions of dollars every year to buy exclusive dramas and seize the market...In fact, Hollywood is the same!"

Huang Baiming was very interested: "What happened to Hollywood?"

"Netflix competes with major TV stations, so they will raise actors' salaries..."

A salary of US$100 million per episode is not uncommon now. Star power is equally important to streaming media platforms such as Netflix and Hulu, but the price is also expensive.

A senior Hollywood agent said: "As long as the film salary is enough, the star will have a schedule. The mentality of looking down on TV dramas is now a thing of the past. Maybe one day Leonardo DiCaprio will also come to shoot a streaming media limited series."

"What about the movie?"

"The movie... depends on whether the script is good. Anyway, in my movies, the actors basically don't get paid or get a basic salary..."

Speaking of this, Shen Changlin looked at Huang Baiming: "Boss Huang made "Bounty Hunter"? How much did you pay for it?"

"... close to 50 million...Lee Min Ho is still very expensive!"

"...Then go for it!"

Huang Baiming suddenly thought of something: "I heard that Sanmao's "The Evil Man" will also be released in July next year?"

"Yes…"

"Should I change my schedule?"

"No, the mainland market is huge now, with more than [-] screens..."
