New Age Artists

Chapter 161 I Want to Give to Tao Hong (14)

Xu Zheng understood Tao Hong's confusion.

Xu Zheng said: "Ning Hao is quite talented, and it can be seen that Director Shen wants to train our mainland directors, so he insisted on letting him shoot it."

Tao Hong took a deep breath and asked worriedly, "Director Shen, are you sure Ning Hao can do a good job?"

Generally speaking, movies are easy to say.

But this is the sequel to Shen Santong's movie!

The industry expects that the box office will definitely exceed 100 million yuan, and there is a high probability that it will exceed 200 million yuan.

In 97, she won various Best Actress awards for her starring role in the movie "Black Eyes".

There are actresses who have won international film festivals, as well as actresses who have won the domestic Huabiao and Golden Rooster awards.

But nowadays, even with the title of Best Actress, I can’t even find a good movie resource.

Tao Hong understands that times have changed and now is the era of commercial films.

Tao Hong believes that Shen Santong is the king of commercial films.

Shen Santong after his birth is a completely different creature than before!
It can even be said that different stages of his life brought different improvements to Shen Santong's status.

The number of residents is about to exceed 100 million.

Shen Santong succeeded again.

The supermarket was just a debut, so it might have been a fluke.

But Sheng Kuai crushed the talk of luck, and his talent and brilliance were evident.

Shen Santong can repeat the success!
Tao Hong starred in "Black Eyes", which gave her the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of film production and a certain understanding of the overall picture of the film industry.

The production scenes and crew members are not on the same level as supermarkets.

Shengkuai’s success again also proved that Shen Santong’s dispatching skills were extremely high.

After the box office exceeded 100 million yuan, it is no longer inappropriate for Shen Santong, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang to be listed as the top three directors of commercial films.

The doubts from inside and outside the industry disappeared.

For Shengkuai, breaking 100 million is just the beginning.

When it exceeded 200 million, Shen Santong broke his own record for new generation directors.

This is a height that no other domestic director has ever reached except Zhang Yimou.

At the same time, Shen Santong cut off part of Hong Kong films' definition rights for commercial films.

However, breaking 200 million is not the end.

Dang Sheng is about to break the record of "Hero". In the field of commercial films, when we look at Chinese films, Hong Kong is naturally included.

If Shen Santong dares to say he is first, no one dares to say he is second.

By the time it broke the record of "Titanic", it was already difficult to evaluate.

Only shock and horror!
Tao Hong has read some media analyses, which cover all kinds of topics.

All that stuff: tricks, hype, marketing, flattery, over-pleasing the audience, etc.

But for practitioners who have a little knowledge, a little professionalism, and some pursuit of their profession, almost all of them are dumbfounded.

The well-deserved king of commercial films!
After Supermarket, Shen Santong handed the sequel to Ning Hao.

Tao Hong could barely understand it.

But by this time, audiences are definitely more excited for the Superstore sequel than before.

After all, it is the sequel to Shen Santong's debut work.

Tao Hong continued to hand over the sequel to Ning Hao. She felt that even a father was not that good to his son.

It’s easier to deal with art films, as they sell copyrights, so the impact won’t be significant.

But commercial films need to sell at the box office.

The box office revenue from Shen Santong's movies, plus various advertisements and copyrights, is a business worth billions.

Tao Hong thought it was too risky to hand the project over to a new director who had never made a commercial film.

Xu Zheng touched his bald head and said with emotion: "It was handed over to Ning Hao. I heard that Han Sanping wanted him to do it himself, but he still insisted on Ning Hao. Director Shen said that he would support new directors, and he really supported them with real money. He is a great person."

One mistake can result in a loss of hundreds of millions.

Xu Zheng put himself in the other person's shoes and decided to do it himself.

Tao Hong suddenly said, "Director Shen is a man of his word. If it would make him happy, could you give me a female lead?"

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and felt his head heavy: "No, what do you mean you should make him happy? Don't scare me!"

Tao Hong blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about! Even if I give it to him, he won't want it. Haven't you seen that Fan Bingbing can't do it? I just said to build a good relationship with him." "."

Xu Zheng: "So you really wanted to give it to me?"

Tao Hong said stubbornly: "I have never thought about it!"

If she hadn't been married, she might not have been able to do it.

She has always been a very competitive person since she was young, and she strives to be the best at every stage.

The desire to win is extremely strong.

During his time as an athlete, he won numerous honors, including national runner-up and synchronized swimming champion.

I wanted to study acting and was accepted by all three major schools. However, I did not choose the Shanghai Theatre Academy which was close to my home, but the more professional Central Academy of Drama, and became the leader of the acting class.

After embarking on an acting career, he has achieved many successes.

The actress won both the Best Actress, the highest honor in film, and the Best Actress, the highest honor in television.

It's not a fake award, but a heavyweight prize.

Tao Hong chose Xu Zheng because Xu Zheng was ambitious.

Her former classmate changed her name for her, but she actually looked down on it.

She likes a king who can conquer her, not a follower.

Xu Zheng quickly said, "Why do you have to go far away? I have already talked to Director Shen about the sequel to Supermarket. Come and learn behind the scenes. I will also be a director in the future. I can support you!"

Tao Hong was very surprised when she heard this. She hoped Xu Zheng could go further and higher: "Really?"

Xu Zheng nodded. "Is what I said false? I can see that Director Shen wants to cultivate a new generation of directors. When I mentioned it, I was a little nervous, but I didn't expect him to be so happy."

Xu Zheng was just testing the waters.

Unexpectedly, Shen Santong agreed immediately. Making a movie was a privilege at that time, and he was very excited.

Tao Hong said happily: "I have to thank Director Shen very much, it's great!"

"."

Xu Zheng was speechless and pursed his lips: "Don't do this, I'm scared!"

Another room.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina were also chatting and couldn't sleep.

Xing Aina was relieved: "The sequel is finally handed over to you, Haozi, you have to do a good job! Director Shen is under a lot of pressure to protect you."

Ning Hao was too embarrassed to show off, as she was asking around in the company for information.

There are voices in the investment department and the issuance department calling for Ning Hao to be replaced.

Today, Shen Santong’s films are no longer just Shen Santong’s own films.

The interests of various departments, as well as stakeholders outside the company and theater chains, are all under pressure.

For the cinema chain, of course they hope that Shen Santong will produce the sequel to Supermarket himself, so that the box office will be more guaranteed.

The same is true for the investment promotion department.

Director Shen Santong, compared with Director Ning Hao, the prices offered by advertisers are orders of magnitude different.

Ning Hao was half happy and half worried: "Of course I know this play is very important, and it is also very important to me. But, hey!"

"I still want to be a little darker around the edges, after all, I'm modeled after Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

"If it has some depth, it will get higher reviews. If it's a purely commercial film, I will be criticized."

On the one hand, Ning Hao knew that this play was very important and its commercial value started at two or three hundred million.

For him, it was a quick success.

However, his previous education, university circles, and the understanding of movies that he had formed made him very painful.

Shen Santong particularly dislikes self-expression and suppresses his expression.

In the words of Shen Santong, stay away from the intellectuals and get out of here, you local people.

Xing Aina consoled him, "Don't think too much. If you can do this play well, you will have plenty of opportunities to make auteur films in the future. Think about it, we still have to pay off the mortgage!"

Ning Hao thought about the mortgage.

The literary and artistic thoughts in my mind have dissipated a lot.

His eyes became clear: "I will do it well!"
