At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 384 Small gathering
Shen Xudong remembered this Venice very clearly!
"Brokeback Mountain" won the Golden Lion Award, and Li An started the journey of winning awards, all the way to the Oscars, and then was crowned the best director of the Oscars, becoming the "Light of the Chinese"...

Now it is 2005, the weight of Oscar is self-evident!

——Directly refer to participating in the Oscar selection as competing for the Olympics!
Because in this time period, everyone is eager to go international, and the film field is the same. The Oscar is an American award. Only by winning this award can it prove that Chinese films are going global...

Of course, there are tangible benefits—after Zhang Ziyi starred in "Memoirs of a Geisha", she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and all resources were tilted towards her after returning to China...

Not only domestic resources, but international big-name endorsements, she is also the only one!

Pulling back, Shen Xudong went on to talk about "The Aviator": "Who are the judges for this year?"

"The chairman of the jury is Dante Ferretti..."

Dante Ferretti, art director, qualifications It's scary to say it!
Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini were the queen art directors of two directors who are enough to be recorded in film history. Later, they went to North America and became the art director of Martin Scorsese...

Renowned worldwide…

"Are there any Chinese judges?"

"Acheng..."

Shen Xudong nodded: "Remember to visit Venice..."

"No need to do anything else?"

Shen Xudong asked back: "What can you do?"

"Then...how many copies are printed?"

Shen Xudong looked at Zhao Linhai: "What do you think?"

"Last year, 150 copies of "Outstanding Citizen" were printed. At first, only 50 copies were prepared. Later, 100 copies were urgently printed..."

"I heard it was the laboratory you contacted urgently after you won the prize in Venice?"

Shen Xudong nodded, and then added: "No matter how urgent it is, there is not enough time..."

"If you prepare 150 pieces at the beginning..."

"Who knows if the movie will be popular? If there are 100 extra coins, it will be 100 million!"

"The key is time... No matter how urgent it is, it will take five days!"

Zhou Shen suddenly said: "...I remember that Xu Jinglei's "Letter from a Strange Woman" was printed in more than 50 copies..."

Chen Xi waved his hand: "Xu Jinglei is not popular...Our screenwriter is Xu Dong!"

"That's right, with Xudong's name on it, no matter how you say it, it can have a box office of 2000 million!"

"You guys don't praise me..." Shen Xudong waved his hands, and then said: "How about this, first print 100 copies...Be careful, don't be stolen!"

"There has been basically no such situation in the past two years..."

The so-called stolen refers to the pirates...

In the early years, the general film companies did not have post-processing equipment, nor did they have their own laboratories, and they all went to China Film and other few places to do post-processing.Pirates used bribes to pay a lot of money to the workers in the laboratory to secretly copy the digital signal during the magnetic transfer.

Therefore, between 1999 and 2003, this kind of thing often happened: as soon as the movie was released in the cinema, on the same day, the pirated DVD disk of the "high-definition original version" was also released.

That's the case with "Hero" - the day it premiered, a bootleg DVD came out, and it was above board stamped with the words 'Chinese Film Pirate Production Company assisted in filming'...

"Still be careful..."

After exhorting, Chen Xudong suddenly smiled: "It's rare that everyone is here today to have a meal together?"

"…Walk!"

……

Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin, Zhou Shen, Liu Lu, and Liao Gaoxiang are not here, so the first generation entrepreneurial team is gathered together!
The main creative team of "The Screening Room"...

Huang Bo was not there, he went to Hong Kong to film - Wu Zhenyu took him there, after the filming of "Stone", Wu Zhenyu admired Huang Bo very much, just as Wang Jing wanted to shoot "Crouching Tiger" and needed a large number of actors, Wu Zhenyu brought him Let him go together!
A few people went to a nearby restaurant and asked for a private room. Chen Xi ordered food, and the few of them started chatting...

Of course, let's talk about "The Screening Room" first...

"The signboard of "The Screening Room" is still very loud... I heard they said that it will be changed to a daily broadcast in the second half of this year?"

"What can't be done on a daily broadcast...We have to do a weekly broadcast!"

"That's right, how can there be so many movies worth talking about..."

"CCTV also launched "The Tenth Screening Room""

Shen Xudong nodded: "...I watched two episodes, it's too serious..."

The early "Tenth Screening Room", adhering to the reservedness of CCTV's large platform, "Master Image Series" and "City Impression Series", featured high-end topic selection, beautiful manuscripts, and advanced editing...

This leads to dismal ratings!
The real popularity depends on the "Congratulations Series" - from the original cold humor to more and more unscrupulous complaints and catharsis year by year, catering to the psychology of some mobs on the Internet, so it became popular.

"It shouldn't be a pressure... But after we finish talking about the history of Hong Kong movies, the history of American movies, and the history of European movies... there is nothing to talk about!"

"...It's okay, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain... Besides, as long as it is a program, there will be a day when it stops, except for "News Network"..."

Zhao Xin interrupted suddenly: "Xudong, how much money does "Screening Room" make per issue?"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then asked Chen Xi: "How much can the first issue of "Screening Room" earn?"

Chen Xi understood this very well, and answered casually: "Thirteen provincial-level satellite TVs across the country broadcast it, and 47 municipal-level stations... Anyway, after each episode, our account is about [-] yuan..."

"...There are so many broadcasts, and each episode is only [-]?"

"It's not bad to see the money back,"

Chen Xi explained: "Most TV stations now have formed their own program production teams, and they don't buy outside programs at all. Phase one?"

"How many?"

"2000 yuan...The city-level station is even lower, and some only give 500 yuan for the first phase..."

"It's too cheap!"

It's not even as good as Station B's incentives for UP owners...

"He has a platform advantage..." Chen Xi is used to this: "However, the influence of "Screening Room" is still very large. I heard that Liu Jialiang even protested..."

"What are you protesting?"

"...The "Kung Fu Emperor" you wrote introduced the filming of "North and South Shaolin"..."

Shen Xudong frowned: "What right does he have to protest? What I wrote is not true?"

Chen Xi smiled: "So, Phoenix Satellite TV ignored him...not even a few media reports..."

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "The action design of "Seven Swords" is also Liu Jialiang, right?"

"Yes, it's him..."

"Then I went to the premiere today and didn't see him?"

"I heard that he was ill and went back to Hong Kong to recuperate!"

Tianshan Mountain is 3000 meters above sea level, and you have to use tricks to shoot exterior scenes. He is not only an action designer, but also an actor. A series of fighting scenes...

He contracted pneumonia and nearly died.

Shen Xudong gave a moment of 'Oh': "I said why didn't I see him!"

Zhou Shen suddenly said: "... I heard that "Seven Swords" is also going to Venice?"

"Exhibiting, selling the movie... Didn't we also bring "National Witness" to sell the rights?"
