At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 863 is what I targeted. Is there any problem? (44)

After a brief investigation, the source of this discrediting power is from the other side...

The reason is very simple, "Ruffian Heroes: All Out War" in the same period...

In fact, the only movie released on the same day of "Painted Skin 2" is "The Movie of Purcell", and "Ruffian Hero" has been released for a week...

There is also a new movie "Big Wudang" released next week.

"Four Famous Arrests" will be released after half a month.

In terms of normal market competition, there is no need to smear it like this!

But just normally.

"Ruffian Hero" failed to beat "Suit Thug" which had been released for half a month at the box office on the first day of its release...

These two movies are both action movies, with the same type, but "Ruffian Hero" has a bad reputation, and there is no awesome cast - except for the second male lead who found Huang Bo...

But the selling point of action movies is action stars, and Huang Bo has nothing to do with action stars!

Huang Bo couldn't count on him, so how could he count on Zhao Youting?

Who knows who this is?
But the resources are against the sky, and the behind-the-scenes team behind the cooperation is all great directors...

It's the Taiwanese version of Jing Tian!

Da Tiantian is good-looking anyway, and has a financial backer, what does he have?
Have a good father?

Zhang Mo's father's name is Zhang Guoli, and he doesn't have any good resources. At most, he plays supporting roles in high-quality projects.

Also plastic surgery version of the acting?

Why add the prefix of plastic surgery?

Because it looks ugly!

Shen Xudong called Gao Jun directly: "Let Golden Harvest Cinemas release "Ruffian Heroes" directly. In addition, in the future, all Zhao Youting's movies will be ranked lowest by me, and what is the director's name..."

"Cai Yuexun!"

"In the future, movies related to him will be blocked directly..."

"I'm worried they'll sue!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...Do you want to tell me or not, are you afraid of him?"

"Undermining unity..."

"Still united? With whom?"

Gao Jun made a suggestion: "It's too much to show directly...I think we can save a morning show or a midnight show..."

"Is anyone going to see it? Let's save the morning show for "The Hunger Games" which was released a few days ago!"

"…it is good…"

"By the way, give Sihai Publishing a message..."

"Um…"

Four Seas Publishing is a hair company formed by Golden Harvest, Jinyi, Dadi, and Hengdian. They also participated in the distribution of "Painted Skin 2", so of course they have the right to know that "Painted Skin 2" is involved in this matter!

……

After "Painted Skin 2" was released, it occupied 7% of the market for 80 consecutive days. In 4 days, the cumulative box office exceeded [-] million!
The single daily income of 4 working days is more than 3500 million!
According to the forecast, at least another 2 million can be collected next weekend.

As for the total box office, the accurate prediction is around 8.5 million.

Although the current box office has only exceeded 4 million, it does not prevent the marketing draft from boasting...

However, the absence of Zhou Xun and Chen Kun from the publicity is still quite annoying!

Shen Xudong didn't understand why Chen Kun was absent from the promotion.

Is it to show loyalty?

Well, he was making a living with Chen Guofu and Huayi—in order to join Huayi, Chen Kun took over the filming of the TV series "You Must Be". Unfortunately, the show didn't hit, and the Huang brothers didn't like him.

He has a good relationship with Zhou Xun, so now that the Zhou Xun team has collapsed with "Painted Skin 2", Chen Kun naturally also collapsed...

Shen Xudong...a very straightforward internal announcement that he will never cooperate...

I didn't use all my energy to block it...

To put it another way, "Painted Skin 2" accounted for 80% of the market, and other movies were miserable, especially after "Ruffian Hero" was abandoned by the four major theaters, the single-day box office plummeted all the way...

The publisher is Hualu Baina, and I found out that it was Shen Xudong who gave the order...

Of course they knew why—how could the issuer not know about the fact that the propagandist bought the water army?

Then, they informed the producer of this matter, and then a group of media came to work: "The results of "The Ruffian Hero" should have been better, but the film was squeezed in Jiahe Cinema Line, and other cinemas scheduled 15% of the film More, and they only ranked 1%, which is really too much!

"Ruffian Hero" is a cross-strait co-production film, a cooperation between cross-strait films, we should not suffer this kind of treatment! "

This time, Shen Xudong replied quickly, directly reposting the relevant report, and then commented: "Idiot, you want to have a high-ranking movie for a big bad movie, who are you? It's also an action movie, watch "Thug in a Suit", and watch Look at "Ruffian Hero", capitalized rubbish! No wonder the Southeast Asian copyright cannot be sold!"

Then, some experts mentioned the Paramount Act—the so-called Paramount Act means that a large studio owns a large theater chain at the same time, an internal monopoly, and then it is not allowed to own a studio while owning a theater...

Prevent monopoly!

This is quite ridiculous, because from the actual effect, it is useless. Several major studios have their own TV networks and screening channels. If the Paramount Act is really effective, why does Disney make Disney+?

Isn't this Nima a monopoly?

This time without Shen Xudong's presence, Gao Jun directly cites Sumner Redstone, the owner of Paramount, who also runs the family's Showcase theater chain...

In fact, after Reagan took office, the U.S. government relaxed its control over companies in many aspects, including the relaxation of anti-monopoly restrictions, believing that vertical integration would not harm market competition.

Various capitals soon set off a wave of panic buying in Hollywood: first, Murdoch bought Fox, and then Time Group and Warner announced the merger, and Columbia Pictures and Universal Pictures were sold to Japan's Sony and Universal Pictures respectively. Matsushita…

……

In the studio, Shen Xudong is writing the script...

In fact, it is an integrated script - "Tang Detective 2". The story of "Tang Detective 2" continues to take place in Bangkok, Thailand. The main story is to solve a murder case. It is adapted from the stolen life in "Hunting Illustrated Book"...

——The college entrance examination was replaced by an impostor, which originally belonged to his rich life, but now he has become another person...

This kind of thing is not without cases in China, but it is not easy to shoot in China!

In addition, how do you mix comedy elements into such a main story, and let me know the existence of Q by the way...

It is a test of screenwriting skills.

Therefore, Shen Xudong found seven or eight screenwriters to create together.

He is responsible for integrating...

While looking through, someone knocked on the door: "Come in..."

Well, it's Chen Xi...

As soon as the latter entered the door, he poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then said: "I was approached by the leader of the Film Bureau and taught me a serious lesson!"

"...What about education?"

"Let's not target cross-strait co-productions..."

Shen Xudong put down the script in his hand: "Crazy... who wants to target it, if it doesn't provoke me, I don't even bother to deal with it..."

"I said the same thing...I even said that Xudong is not interested in these things, he is almost too lazy to participate in the Golden Horse Awards!"

"and then?"

"...they put you in education too..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: "Have you lost your mind? I'm talking about the market economy. If they don't sell well, we won't arrange films. What's the problem?"

"You little comrade, can't tell the difference between east, west, and north? There is great harmony between the two sides of the strait, what do you want to do? Do you want to become a historical sinner?"

"Who told you that?"

"...it seems to be the deputy director, what's his name, I forgot..."

"Don't talk to him, let me tell you that I'm just admitting to the target, what's the problem? Can he deprive me of the right to make movies?"

"...he can review..."

Shen Xudong asked back: "Do you think there are other companies besides us that can sell Chinese-language movies?"

"…Too."

"Is the "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" finished?"

"...Zhong Lifang told me, 3 million to buy out the Asian copyright... Zhou Xingchi still wants box office dividends..."

"Is his brain flooded? Isn't 3 million enough?"
