Chapter 227: Zhang Ziyi's seriousness, a trailer full of selling points (14)

Early in the morning.

Zhang Ziyi felt like an earthquake and woke up, and found that Shen Santong was carving her seriously: "Aren't you tired?"

Shen Santong wrote: "I am calming down and cultivating my character."

Zhang Ziyi: “.”

I almost believed it.

It's understandable. Shen Santong looks like a well-behaved type. He has been holding it in for a long time, so he is quite greedy.

Zhang Ziyi advised: "You should take care of your health, combining work and rest."

Shen Santong: "It's not a big problem. I can carve several seals like yours."

Zhang Ziyi was silenced.

breakfast.

Zhang Ziyi had seen Shen Santong's working state, with many secretaries surrounding him.

After Shen Santong finished handling the company's daily affairs, he asked her: "What is your schedule? I'll have someone take you there."

Zhang Ziyi smiled and said, "I don't have much to do recently. I'll be busy with a movie called Jasmine next month. I want to spend some time with you."

Shen Santong did not refuse. He was not a person who would refuse other people's kindness. Some things still had to be said: "I am a serious person and cannot tolerate you having any relationship with other people."

He cultivates his own character and certainly requires others to do the same.

You may break the rules sometimes, but your heart is good.

At least he has the heart to do so.

Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up. She was not mistaken. The man in front of her was indeed a serious person: "Don't worry, I am serious."

Shen Santong nodded and said, "Okay, remember what you said. If you hadn't broken up with me and you were blaming me, I'm sure you wouldn't have a good life in China."

Zhang Ziyi was not angry, instead she thought the other person was very handsome.

She is one of the four most beautiful actresses and two most beautiful ice queens. Only a man like her can threaten to ban her.

Zhang Ziyi said: "I was originally going to be a jury member at the Cannes Film Festival, and this time Wang Jiawei will be the chairman."

"Now The Banquet has been moved up from Venice to Cannes. As the lead actor of The Banquet, it will be difficult for me to be a judge at the three major film festivals."

Shen Santong said: "You should think about the overseas copyright of The Banquet. If you can't sell it, your salary will definitely drop in the future."

Zhang Ziyi felt heartbroken: "Didn't you give Huayi some advice?"

Shen Santong said: "It depends on how they do it. There will definitely be no more costume blockbusters in the future."

Zhang Ziyi seemed to be deep in thought. She was a very career-oriented person, and if the costume blockbuster didn't work out, she would have to make plans early.

Shen Santong finished his official duties and called her: "Let's watch the trailer of "Stone" together."

Zhang Ziyi was curious and sat in his arms: "How much do you think the box office of Stone will be?"

Shen Santong opened the webpage and had already thought about this question: "100 million or 200 million. With the marketing of steamed buns, 100 million or 200 million is definitely not a problem."

"More depends on luck. This play has a threshold, which is different from mine. People in the industry may think it is great, but the audience may not."

Through steamed buns, public opinion is guided and stones are linked to the commercialization of movies.

When the film was released, Shen Santong planned to use him to attract customers.

The first week focused on promoting him, and the second week promoted Ning Hao.

The promotion of Ning Hao is not about Ning Hao himself, but the symbolic significance.

Ning Hao is the new generation promoted by Shen Santong. He himself was a coincidence, but the emergence of Ning Hao was not a coincidence.

It also shows that telling stories that are popular with domestic audiences is not just a theory, but has actual successful cases.

Shen Santong used a quick summary of life to try his best to give the audience a sense of participation and witness history.

Witness that another path for film commercialization can be taken.

It not only awakens the silent majority, but also gives movies more tolerance.

Zhang Ziyi was shocked. "One or two hundred million? A little-known director made over a hundred million. Wouldn't that make him the fifth director in China to make over a hundred million? How much did you invest?"

Shen Santong said: "About 15 million."

Zhang Ziyi sighed: "I heard that you funded all your plays yourself?" Shen Santong certainly couldn't say that he loved to eat alone: ​​"I want to have full control over the project. I hate others to point fingers at me. It's a respect for art."

Zhang Ziyi actually believed it, and she really looked up to Shen Santong.

At this time, director is a high-end profession both inside and outside the circle.

Especially for an actor like her who came from the 1990s, she respects directors very much.

Zhang Ziyi gave him a kiss and said, "You are so amazing."

Shen Santong saw that she didn't look like she was acting, right? She really believed it. Damn it, he complained in his heart, he just wanted to eat alone.

To be precise, only the production link enjoys the monopoly, while the distribution and theater chains have tied up a large number of interested parties.

Shen Santong was a little scared. He thought this guy wouldn't pester him. "Watch the trailer."

bang bang bang!
The opening credits are ahead of their time.

Uniquely, most of the titles of domestic film companies today are static.

After having money and a technical team, Shen Santong upgraded the opening credits.

The locomotive rumbled into the cave, with full rhythm and texture.

The computer resolution is not very high, the big screen is more impressive.

The train goes in and out of the tunnel, and the world is vast and open.

The big words "Locomotive Film Company" appeared.

Zhang Ziyi had also seen Shen Santong's previous movies: "Did you upgrade the title?"

Shen Santong nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Ziyi asked curiously: "Your opening is a bit weird, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Shen Santong firmly denied: "Definitely not, don't be distracted, or I will carve you."

Zhang Ziyi focused on watching the movie for the sake of the dumpling skin.

It all started with the can lottery scam.

Zhang Ziyi was happy: "Huang Bo's acting was so good."

When Shen Santong left the airport and his suitcase was stolen after being blindfolded, she was about to die of laughter: "You play an international thief? An international thief, an international director, are you being sarcastic about Wu Yusen trying to steal your project?"

As an insider in the industry, Zhang Ziyi not only sees what’s happening in front of the stage, but also what’s happening behind the scenes.

It is very clear that the lines are not unintentional, they are all intentional.

Shen Santong said: "You think too much."

Then Xie Xiaomeng stole jade and was caught.

The conversation between Xiaojun and Li Xiaolu: Are you worthy of your big brother and me?

Zhang Ziyi couldn't help laughing: "It's too funny."

When Dao Ge beat up Xie Xiaomeng and asked him whether the jade was real, Xie Xiaomeng would definitely not dare to tell a lie.

The more serious he was, the angrier Dao Ge became: You insult my personality and you also insult my IQ.

Zhang Ziyi laughed so hard that tears came out. She has watched enough movies to guess the plot: "Will the real and fake characters be swapped later?"

Shen Santong said: "I won't spoil the plot."

Huang Bo was trapped in a small waterway, covered in black mud, and called for help.

Dao Ge ignored him, and the black guy played by Huang Bo kept cursing, "Damn it, damn it."

Zhang Ziyi affirmed: "It has the same meaning as Nima. It kind of echoes Happy Birthday. It must be another hot word."

In the end, Huang Bo was trapped for several days, and he and Shen Santong looked at each other in distress. Zhang Ziyi couldn't help laughing and tears came out.

Zhang Ziyi was vague, as if she had forgotten something.

When she saw the July 7 release date appear and the trailer ended, she said, "You've already revealed all the selling points, but what else is there for the audience to see when they enter the theater?"

The content and quality shown in the trailer are unique at the moment. I can only say that the man in front of us is amazing.

Shen Santong shook his head: "This play is different from other plays. You will know when it is released. There are too many things to watch."
