At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 854 Units of Measurement (34)

In June, Tianmei announced on its official website that it has invested US$6 million in Hollywood...

And announced the film list, basically all animated films, Illumination Entertainment's "Despicable Me 2", "Minions", "The Secret Life of Pets" and DreamWorks' "Crazy Primitives", "Genius Spectacled Dog" , "How to Train Your Dragon 2", live-action movies include "Jurassic Park 4", "Interstellar", "The Martian" and "Gravity"...

Shen Xudong explained on Weibo: "The reason why I invest in these movies is that on the one hand, I am more optimistic about it, and on the other hand, I will also arrange special people to study... learn from foreigners!"

No explanation, a bunch of media dubbed him a 'traitor' and a 'comprador'...

Zhen Nima is speechless. Some time ago he was said to be blindly confident, but now he is called a traitor?
However, the secondary market is very optimistic about this investment, and the market value of Tianmei Media has ushered in a surge...

It was just an intention, not even confirmed, and the stock price went up immediately!

It's no wonder that there are such fraudulent news as 'The Russo Brothers join hands with Fang Jinyingshi to create "Captain of China"'!

Shi Jianxiang also came up with a wonderful combination of Mel Gibson and Li Qiankuan - "Big Bombing", with Mel Gibson and Li Qiankuan as art directors...

As soon as the photos were posted, and as soon as the draft was publicized, hot money came in immediately!
There are really a lot of fools!

As for the movie?

The purpose of making movies is to make money, and now that you have already made money, why do you still want to make movies?

……

On June 6th, "The Hunt" premiered...

Cannes award-winning film, the cards are not bad, the main promotion investment is heavy.

The publicity cost is close to 3000 million, which is almost equivalent to the film production fee!

Internet media, TV media, app clients, offline physical stores and other multi-level customers launched a full range of bundled marketing, and Chen Daoming even appeared on "Everyday Upward"...

There is no way, just to promote it, you have to be on a variety show!

"Antenna Up" is at least a little higher than "Happy Camp".

After all, "Everyday Upward" has not yet become a poor man's version...

On the other hand, on the first day of the release of "Hunting", domestic theaters gave 30% of the film schedule - nearly 1 screenings are scheduled!

In March, less than 20% of the film schedules for "Sister Tao", and less than 11% of the film schedules for "My 8" in May [-]st...

Speaking of "Hunting", the story is very simple: a lie from a little girl almost ruined a person!

The male protagonist is a kindergarten teacher, and the children like him very much.

Until one day a girl unintentionally hinted to the principal that the male lead molested her.

With everyone's help, he is considered a pervert by everyone around him, including his good friend (the girl's parents) and girlfriend.

Although later the girl repeatedly explained that nothing happened.

But no adult is willing to believe her explanation.

Until the loopholes in the incident were discovered by people, the lies were not broken by themselves, and everyone seemed to recognize the innocence of the hero on the surface.

The ending of the film is meaningful: Even though a year has passed since the incident, the hero was shot coldly when he was out hunting.

At the end, the person who fired the gun stood in the high sunlight, the male protagonist couldn't even see his face clearly, only the white cold sun...

The intention of this composition is too obvious: the spread of those gossips can be anyone, he is wearing a self-righteous moral high light, causing cold harm to others, and he turns away lightly.

He didn't even know that the hero was innocent.

But whether the hero is innocent or not, what does it matter to him?He's just in charge of hunting!

This movie is brutal...

Chilling!

As long as you bring it in, you will understand what the neighbors are doing...

Therefore, when some media asked, "The film is extremely extreme and infinitely magnifies the malice in ordinary life..."

Shen Xudong immediately replied: "This example is not extreme at all, nor does it magnify the maliciousness. If your neighbor is the leading actor, what would you do?"

Without waiting for the reporter to answer, Shen Xudong continued: "...It's just that most of us may never meet a neighbor who is suspected of XQ children in our lives, and we have no chance to show our infinitely magnified malice! This plot is actually very common, I imagine After this beginning, the rest came naturally, without me even thinking about it..."

Wen Muye also interjected: "Yes, after I adapted the script and wrote the sub-shots, the whole journey was very smooth..."

"...Teacher Chen Daoming, what do you think?"

Chen Daoming thought for a while, and then replied: "Actually, when I was reading the script, I was already thinking about what I should do if this happened to me... After much deliberation, I couldn't think of a better way to prove myself... He is an innocent But he can't find someone to fight back! Who do you think he can scold? Who can he hit? Because everyone's hatred comes from love, and their disgust and malice towards him are all out of protecting that little girl, and Worrying about an accident, there is no hatred in it, only too many misunderstandings. How do you deal with your emotions? Only anger..."

"Then why did he arrange for him to be sniped in the end? And who put the sniper in the face?"

"The power of rumors and prejudices is not so easy to eliminate..."

Wen Muye interjected: "Did you see who fired the gun? I couldn't see him. He was on the commanding heights, and he was in the sun."

Then...some media asked: ""Hunting" feels very similar to "Search". They are both about the story of everyone. These two themes are very similar!"

Finally someone asked a question!
Shen Xudong deliberately remained silent for a while, and then said: "The focus of "Search" is human flesh search and...love, "Hunting" is more realistic, the story is set in a small town, and it is more intuitive..."

"What does the director think?"

Wen Muye was a little embarrassed, and Shen Xudong helped him out: "...don't embarrass him..."

Wen Muye is not Shen Xudong, if he evaluates the works of great directors in public, something will happen!

Several reporters said: "Then when we report, we will compare and analyze "Hunting" and "Search"..."

"Do whatever you want, after the movie is released, the creators can only listen to the reaction, what kind of interpretation the audience has, has nothing to do with us!"

……

The box office of "Hunting" on the first day was 1400 million, successfully winning the single-day box office champion, followed by "Men in Black 3" with 1035 million, and "Avengers" with a box office of 232 million...

"Why Shengxiaomo" has a single-day box office of less than 3 yuan - it has already been scheduled to be screened, but this is not the key to postpone it!

Cumulative box office 3.82 billion...

Surpassed "When a Man Was in Love" and temporarily ranked first in the annual box office of domestic films
Speaking of "Hunting", the single-day box office is 1400 million...

Not bad, after all, June 6th is Monday
At the same time, in terms of publicity, "Search" has become a unit of measurement, and the titles of major media are basically: ""Hunting", which is more cruel than "Search"", "Compared to "Search", I prefer to watch "" The Hunt, at least it's more real! ', 'After watching "Hunting" and then "Search", I feel that the latter is a love fairy tale! '

Hmm... This is no longer the meaning of comparison, just stepping on "Search" to promote...

It doesn't matter, anyway, brother Chen Kai has a lot of blood, what can happen if he steps on it once or twice?

You can't just send a lawyer's letter for such a trivial matter, right?

What's more, he is the judge of "I Am an Actor" - 2200 million invitations to join!
