At first, I just wanted to make money

The series of five tiger generals, even the five good generals in Wei State, the four outstanding generals in Soochow...

Including Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao can all produce solo movies.

A few more battles to unite all the characters!
What is this called?
Movie Universe!
The problem is... it's too much work...

There are not so many suitable directors, and not so many suitable actors. The most important thing is that the cost of costume war films is too high, and it is easy to lose hundreds of millions...

So, don’t take too big a step, take your time, make a sequel first, if the response is still good, then make "Guan Yunchang"...

Then "Dingjun Mountain" leads to Huang Zhong, Zhuge Liang...

"For the movie "Zhao Zilong", our company has earned at least 6000 million yuan, and China Film has made a lot of money... There is still a future for blockbusters!"

"My opinion is don't be impatient. After all, the cost is here... So, you can talk to Andy Lau about the sequel first..."

"The salary... Anyway, the maximum is 2000 million, it is impossible to give more..."

"If you want to share... at most 10% of the share, if you want to share, then the salary will have to be reduced..."

"In addition, he also has a film and television company. If his company wants to jointly produce...you can sell 10% of the investment quota. Remember, don't let him take over other Three Kingdoms movies..."

At this time, if the entire "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor" is used, the word-of-mouth created by "Zhao Zilong" will immediately disappear.

Return to the Three Kingdoms Movie Universe?
Gao Fenfen also understood—follow the trend!
When Li Lian starred in Huang Feihong, this IP was rejuvenated, and then a bunch of others followed suit-1993 was the veritable "Year of Huang Feihong".Throughout the year, there were more than 140 Hong Kong-produced films in theaters, and more than 30 martial arts films. Huang Feihong's martial arts films accounted for 7, and most of them lost their money.

"Zhao Zilong" is a hot seller. With the temperament of a Hong Kong filmmaker, it is foreseeable that he will make several follow-up genres.

copyright?

Anyone can shoot "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so how can there be any copyright disputes?
……

"Juno" was screened at the end of January - the Sundance Film Festival responded well, of course, it didn't win an award...

The award went to a movie called "Our Father". It's an independent movie, but I just don't understand it...

However, this response is enough for "Juno"!

从1月27日开始在7家影院小规模点映，上映一周就收获了72万美元的票房，后来参与点映的院线增加到了40家，当周票房到达了225万美元。

When the film was officially released on February 2, it was scheduled to be released in more than 12 theaters, and the box office in the first week of its release exceeded 1600 million US dollars.

Then word of mouth for the film began to spread on a massive scale.

The film critics are very friendly to "Juno" - a low-cost feature film with a good degree of completion, of course we should encourage it!
"A script that is perfect in all meanings and angles: the beginning is a typical inciting event, and the period is embedded with unfolding, foreshadowing, and resolution. -Tides accumulate into the final climax. At the end of the film, the foreshadowing is revealed, and every character has realized some truth and reached a new level. This kind of short story, never tired of watching. "

"The degree of completion is quite high. Whether it is in the plot or in some editing, it can be seen that the director has his own set of methods and philosophies. The innovations in techniques and routines make people very comfortable and warm. This is a low-cost film. dignity."

As for the audience, the comment was more direct: Juno is so cool!

Not only dared to conceive at the age of 16, but also gave birth bravely, which is different from those ordinary girls.

The theme is bold, and the shooting angles are completely different, showing the feeling of a girl unexpectedly pregnant, but bravely taking responsibility, all vividly displayed.

Then, a strange situation happened, and "Juno" set off a movie-watching craze among young people.

Word of mouth or something, to be honest, Shen Xudong doesn't care about English films, and the producer Joseph Drake probably doesn't care either...

After the movie is released, all you care about is the data!
The data... Of course it is very good. In the second week of its release, the scale was expanded again - more than 2500 theaters showed "Juno", and the box office broke 3000 million in a single week...

As of February 2th, "Juno" has been released for three weeks, with a box office score of 27 million US dollars, and the momentum has not diminished...

At the same time, after negotiating with Joseph Drake, the overseas copyright of "Juno" was sold to 4500th Century Fox for a package price of 20 million US dollars...

After all, Joseph Drake has no overseas distribution capabilities, and Shen Xudong is too lazy to find a distribution company. Yes, based on the market response of "Juno", the overseas revenue will definitely exceed 4500 million, but [-]th Century Fox will settle all the funds at once. .

No need to wait for a refund or anything.

Good!

……

The domestic... film industry has almost fallen into a frenzy.

"Zhao Zilong" broke 4.5 million, and the box office in Asia was close to 7000 million yuan (Korea and Japan have not yet been released), "Juno" broke [-] million US dollars in North America...

The producers and producers of these two films are both Shen Xudong!
The cost of the former is 4000 million U.S. dollars, which is a small profit, and the cost of the latter is 2700 million U.S. dollars (an extra 2)...

Earned!
Not to mention Gao Fenfen and Chen Xi, Zhong Lifang...even Zhao Linhai and the others have all been bombarded by phone calls...

In China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the brokerage companies with a bit of know-how all made their moves. Today's dinner, tomorrow's cocktail party, the day after tomorrow's golf, all want to chat with Shen Xudong through them...

Even China Film, Shanghai Film, and Xiying film and television studios have the idea of ​​cooperating...

Shen Xudong... Lai did not go back to the United States on the pretext of competing for awards and participating in Oscars and new film castings.

But it also revealed that the cost of the new film "The Fault in Our Stars" is 6000 million US dollars, and those who have ideas can invest money...

Well, this time it was quintupled—the cost was up to $1000 million.

With his current fame, there is no need to take his own money to make movies...

Oh, and the nominations for the Ossetsca have been announced, and "Carol" has six nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Soundtrack and Best Costume Design…

Just looking at the list of nominations, "Carol" is definitely not a top contender. After all, the two heavyweight nominations of Best Director and Best Picture were not given.

But for Gong Li, she has already made history - the first actress of Asian descent to be nominated for an Oscar.

Regardless of whether she wins an award or not, she can already be written into film history.

She already has the intention of blindly worshiping Shen Xudong - she really got nominated, and he made two consecutive low-budget films!

If "The Purge" can still use bloody + violent genre films, old American audiences love to watch this to shirk, then "Juno"...

An old-fashioned theme of early love and early pregnancy can also play well?
Shen Xudong explained: "I just think that the theme of early love and early pregnancy is interesting... However, most of these movies fail to give birth to children. I want to do the opposite... give birth to children!"

"So simple?"

"Easy?" Shen Xudong shook his head: "It is the public that needs to be persuaded to do the opposite, not to mention such a big matter as puppy love and childbirth. After I finished writing the outline, I found no less than ten screenwriters to complete the plot!"
