Chapter 576 Repeat the miracle of "Stone"?

Jie Lun agreed to the invitation, which is quite normal - at this stage, anyone who has ideas for movies will not reject Shen Xudong!

"Life Events" was officially released on June 15. It took in 52 million at the box office during its first three days...

This result not only shocked the industry, but Shen Xudong himself was shocked.

Because the promotion of "Life Events" is very normal and there are no tricks at all.

It’s just normal online and offline publicity and promotion, and yes, it’s even featured on “Happy Camp”.

But I definitely didn’t spend money to do a national premiere, let alone hold any theme concert...

The starring cast...Yishui's TV stars!

Both Deng Chao and Zeng Li are TV stars. In an era when co-productions are the mainstream, young mainland actors can only hone their acting skills on the small screen...

But the box office of "Life Events" in the first three days of the weekend was 52 million!

And the discussion about the movie is also very hot.

It has almost formed a phenomenon-level situation...

Media comments - Another "Crazy Stone" is born!

The investor, producer, and screenwriter of "Life Events" are all Shen Xudong. It can be said that he created this movie...

Under this premise, Chou Jialun would naturally not refuse Shen Xudong's film contract.

Oh, "The Untold Secret" will be released on July 31st, and "Blockbuster" has been specially adjusted a week later...

Give Zhou Jielun enough respect!

In fact, many people disliked Zhou Jielun's appointment as director - this is called cross-field money grabbing.

As a singer, it doesn't really matter to anyone if you become an actor, but if you become a director, you will commit a big taboo...

Shen Xudong remembers that the mainland box office of "The Untold Secret" seemed to be 36 million, but the Taiwan box office was very dismal. I heard that the month "The Untold Secret" was released, there was a typhoon all over Taiwan...

…

Promotion of "Life Events"...definitely "Stone".

It's not because of the popularity, it's mainly because the two movies are so similar.

In terms of genre, they are all comedies, all speak dialects, and most importantly, they are all produced with small to medium costs invested by Shen Xudong - "Life Events" cost 11 million, "Stone" cost 8 million...

And they are all directed by novice directors.

However, Shen Xudong does not agree with this view: "Ning Hao is not a new director. Before "Stone", he had two or three works... I also watched his graduation work "Thursday, Wednesday". At that time, I I know that he is a good storyteller and has a great story structure...Han Yan, I have watched several of his short films..."

"And the drama "Life Events" is not very comedic..."

"I have been to many funerals with my elders since I was a child. There are a lot of fun things at the funerals, including singing and showing movies... I think Chinese people are actually very romantic about funerals. We tie up all the unfulfilled wishes of people with paper. Come out and then burn it, I think it embodies emotion."

"The year before last, I went back to my hometown and heard something from my dad. A child sank into the water. Three groups of people went down but couldn't fish it out. The last brother of the corpse recovery team fished the child's body out... I I feel that standing at the end of death, it is quite meaningful to look back on how your life should be lived more meaningfully and what you should cherish!"

"The year before last, I passed by a funeral shroud shop. There was a car parked at the door. The car must be moving or unloading goods. It was filled with wreaths and urns.

Through the door and window, I saw a little girl sitting next to the coffee table, doing her homework.

That picture touched me directly. I felt like I saw a theme, that is, this store is actually a family, with the feeling of spring in the corner... In addition, there is a legend that people will become heaven after death. 'stars', those who do funerals are the ones who plant stars!"

"From the beginning, I planned to make a film with romantic attributes. This is why I chose Han Yan as the director. The first word he said to me after reading the script was romantic..."

"Han Yan is different from Ning Hao. Ning Hao is a mature director, while Han Yan is still on the road..."

…

Shen Xudong's words... are not very contagious. The media reports more on the cost and box office revenue of "Life Events"...

It is indeed quite impressive. As of June 25, the ten days since its release, "Life Events" has accumulated a box office of 128 million yuan - a box office of 76 million in the second week...

Generally speaking, the box office in the second week usually drops by 30% to 60% compared to the first week. "Life Events" did not fall but rose, and the box office increased every day...

The media went crazy!

Nima, another new director worth 100 million yuan?

Last year it was Ning Hao, this year it was Han Yan, and they are both very young...

Ning Hao was born in 1977, and Han Yan was born in 1983. One became a billionaire director at the age of 29, and the other was born at the age of 24...

What is this called?

Chen Xudong has a sharp eye and knows pearls?

But the reality is in front of us, regardless of the directors and actors who are popular, not popular, half popular but not black, it is called envy and hatred!

Some media even said that "Shen Xudong wants to create the seventh generation of commercial film directors..."

In the past few years, low-cost literary films only needed to win awards and reputation in foreign countries and sell overseas copyrights for distribution and sales. They did not need to go to theaters to earn domestic box office. They could easily recoup their costs and make a profit.

Therefore, it gave rise to the glory of the "sixth generation directors" represented by Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, and Wang Xiaoshuai.

Shen Xudong's "Stone" and "Life Events" have launched a director worth 200 million yuan...

You can eat enough through the domestic market and have a greater reputation!

It directly makes those literary and artistic films that have won awards in foreign countries and are praised by film critics, making them feel lonely...

Not only that, the soft article also recommended many subsequent movies of Tianmei Media: "Xu Zheng, the director of "The Road", Lu Jianqing, the director of "20 Again", Yang Qing, the director of "Night Club", "Half Comedy" "The directors of "Half Comedy", Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, are both new directors. Zhou Shen and Liu Lu, the directors of "Half Comedy", directed "The Aviator"... Lu Jianqing is a Hong Kong director and served as the assistant director of "The New World"..."

"It is said that Tianmei Company's new director program is not only open to mainland China, but also directors from Taiwan and Hong Kong have been selected!"

"Unknowingly, Shen Xudong has gathered a large number of new directors! I hope they can bring refreshing works..."

Finally, there is another sentence: "Those people on the Internet who say that Shen Xudong is targeting Hong Kong and Taiwan can stop!"

…

End of June, Beijing.

At the hotel, Shen Xudong is chatting with Chen Jia Shang...

Chen Jia Shang, who is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, has brought several projects that he wants to create together with Golden Harvest.

At first, the two talked about the conflict between Shen Xudong and the Hong Kong circle.

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I'm not targeting them... Well, to be honest, I don't even care about them. My opponent is a Hollywood blockbuster!"

"... Then I heard what they said. You are very familiar with the leaders of the film bureau, and you are ready to block their projects."

"...This is nonsense at first sight. Director Chen, let me tell you this. Which industry your script involves needs the approval of that industry. To portray the police, you need the approval of the public security department...For foreign affairs, you need the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong asked Chen Jiashang: "Director Chen, do you think I have the ability to handle so many departments?"

"...It's so complicated..."

"Tell me, who spread the rumor?"

"...Some unscrupulous media." Chen Jiashang changed the subject: "Are you interested in the story of "Liao Zhai"?"

"more specific…"

""Painted Skin"!"
