Chapter 249: The Domination of Terror, Words of Tigers and Wolves (13)

Huge shock in the circle!

From the mainland to Hong Kong Island, everyone was shocked!
Huayi.

Wang Zhonglei's eyes turned red: "It's already over 100 million?!"

Wang Zhongjun, who was standing by, couldn't help but press the table with his hand.

His fingers were clenched until they turned white, and it was obvious that he was not at peace inside.

He tried to speak calmly: "It's normal when you think about it. With Supermarket being the first one and the good publicity, this result is within expectations."

Wang Zhonglei said: "But the director of this play is Ning Hao. He is the fifth director to make over 100 million yuan. Can we still be better than Shen Santong in the future?"

Huayi has never given up its ambition to regain the leading position.

Although Shen Santong helped Wang Jinghua with "Night Banquet" after she left, they also paid out 5 points of equity in return.

Shen Santong was never polite to the Chinese and foreigners and treated them differently.

Helping Chen Kaige doesn't require any benefits.

Only by helping them, the Chinese and the barbarians, can we settle the accounts clearly every time.

It's obvious that he looks down on them.

After Wang Jinghua left, in order to survive, they brought back Feng Xiaogang, who had been working away from home for a year.

In order to completely win over the other party, he learned from the lesson of the last escape and tied up the little cannon into a community of interests.

Not only did his net worth soar, but he was also given equity.

Feng Xiaogang is Huayi's trump card. As long as the director is there, he can promote people and create stars.

Now Santong Entertainment is not only promoting celebrities, but also directors.

Send Ning Hao directly into the billion-dollar club.

He became the fifth person after Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Shen Santong.

Feng, Zhang and Chen have been making films for many years and have accumulated experience over many years to get to this point.

Like Ning Hao and Shen Santong, his first commercial film soared to the sky.

Huayi relies on directors to promote people, while Shen Santong promotes directors. They are on different levels.

Even the stupid younger brother understood it, and Wang Zhongjun obviously knew this truth too.

But what should he do?

If you can't do it, you can't do it. We all wear shoes, so we can only accept it temporarily.

Wang Zhongjun consoled himself: "There are no eternal enemies in the capital market, only eternal interests."

"It's good to have Shen Santong take the lead, it's good too."

He has learned to think from other people's perspectives, and the leader is just like that.

give him.

Of course he does.

Isn't there anything we can do about it?
With the emergence of Ning Hao, the billionaire director, no one can shake Shen Santong's leading position in the film industry for the time being.

Wang Zhongjun felt that he had won, too: "We can use his influence to suppress the Hong Kong circle. If it weren't for him, the overseas copyright of The Banquet would have been lost."

"We still need to raise private equity. Shen Santong has money and status. With him around, we can negotiate good terms."

Wang Zhonglei reluctantly suggested: "Why don't we try to dig Ning Hao out?"

Wang Zhongjun thought about it and shook his head, "It's better not to break the rules. Ning Hao was brought up by him."

"Appoint someone with no experience in commercial films to work on the second part of Supermarket."

"After the success of Sheng Kuai, he was under a lot of pressure, but he still continued."

"Let's not talk about the favor of helping him, even if Ning Hao is an ungrateful person. Look at the way he acts, he is not the type who is willing to compromise."

"If we anger him, we won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Besides, Shen Santong's shadow is present in this play from beginning to end, so it's hard to say what Ning Hao's true level is."

Wang Zhongjun didn't say anything.

Shen Santong accepted their equity reluctantly. If it weren't for the overall situation, he might have turned against them long ago.

Along the way, I enjoy taking revenge.

His debut work hasn't been released yet, but he seized the opportunity and dared to force Huayi to serve tea.

I am often surrounded by one or two squads of security guards. I heard that the group company employs dozens or two platoons of retired veterans.

This means he knows he has offended many people.

But it still offends people.

This is not a normal person.

Xu Fan told Feng Xiaogang: "Stone's sales exceeded 100 million in the first weekend."

Feng Xiaogang, who was smoking a cigar, choked.

The little steel cannon cursed: "This thief!"

He worked extremely hard, but only made 150 million yuan from "The Banquet", which he announced publicly.

The real number is 120 to 130 million.

This is the first weekend for the junior Ning Hao.

Of course, the most terrifying one is Shen Santong, who makes every movie he does a success.

Chen Kesin was greatly disappointed when he saw the box office results.

These days, he prayed every day that the stone would fall to the ground.

The more successful Shen Santong is, the more influence he has in the industry, and the harder it is for him to cheat people out of money.

Clear sky.

Wu Kebo angrily threw the cup and said, "Shen Santong, you idiot!"

Chen Hao on the side frowned: "Don't say bad words."

Wu Kebo said angrily: "What do you know, you bastard!"

Chen Hao's face suddenly turned red with anger: "Mr. Wu, what did you say? You are having affairs with other girls outside, how do you think of me in your heart?"

Wu Kebo wanted to explain, but he didn't want to.

He is in high spirits and has no shortage of people like Chen Hao around him.

What's wrong with cursing? Instead, he felt that there was something wrong with Chen Hao.

There is no concept of hierarchy.

I have been having conflicts with him recently, but he is so shameless.

To put it bluntly, he is just an actor.

Put it in the notebook, it's nothing.

No matter how great an actor is or how high his income is, he can never marry a company boss like him.

If you bring an actor home, you will be laughed to death.

Seeing that he didn't even apologize, Chen Hao left angrily.

Wow!

Wu Kebo also dropped the other cup.

Seeing Shen San doing well is more painful than seeing himself doing poorly.

Wang Jinghua was poached away, which benefited Shen Santong greatly, allowing him to rise to the top by stepping on Huayi.

It’s been almost a year since Huayi recovered after “The Banquet” and is even about to take away his second place.

idiot!

Baka Shen Santong looks down on the Hong Kong circle, and even more so on him because of his Japanese background.

The most frustrating thing is that he spent a lot of money, but was fooled by that woman Wang Jinghua, and he couldn’t even check the accounts.

black.

It's too damn dark! Hong Kong Island.

Wang Jing is busy with the crime gangster film "Crouching Tiger".

He has tried his best to make films in the past two years. He is not afraid of bad TV series and movies. He just wants to keep working so that the people behind the scenes in Hong Kong can survive.

When I received the news, I had expected it, but I was still surprised.

This means that a new commercialization path has been opened up in the mainland.

It’s not about big stars, big investments, and grand scenes.

But lay a good foundation.

Start with comedy that addresses regional and cultural divides.

Comedy itself is regional and culturally limited.

A movie may be funny in mainland China but boring in Hong Kong.

The same is true in reverse.

Barriers between regions are also a form of cultural protection.

Very suitable for making a small investment for a big return.

Shen Santong has two dramas of his own, and then there is Ning Hao's drama.

After three successes, this road was completely opened up.

Wang Jing has seen the stone and found it has a distinct Shen Santong style.

He roughly summarized Shen Santong's style as being like him traveling outside.

It is easy to distinguish between Koreans, Japanese and Chinese.

He can even tell the difference between people from the mainland, Hong Kong Island, and Taiwan.

Especially the younger generation.

Shen Santong's films have a certain temperament, and you can tell it's his style at first glance.

However, Wang Jing felt that Shen Santong only made requirements on style.

He only did the work of producer, and the director was still Ning Hao.

In terms of story structure, it is a multi-line narrative.

It's like Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

The narrative technique is obviously not a Shen Santong-style story.

Shen Santong likes simple stories that hide something deeper.

This is true in supermarkets and grocery stores.

Shitou also has some ideas, but Wang Jing believes that if it were Shen Santong, he would not have used multiple narrative lines.

There is too much information, it is too complicated and there are barriers to entry.

We can get a glimpse of this from the three trailers released by Shen Santong.

In order to dilute the complex narrative, many wonderful clips are given.

Throw out some information first to avoid the audience receiving too much information when watching the show and being unable to understand or accept it.

Judging from the box office, Shen Santong's strategy was very successful.

Wang Jing thought about it and sent a congratulatory text message to Shen Santong.

Write your ideas down to show your willingness to work together to promote the development of the film.

At this point, no one can replace Shen Santong.

He has succeeded in making low-budget comedies and has already established his own niche.

Because of cultural differences, Hong Kong cannot enter this private territory.

If "Red Cliff" can also be successful, it would be even more amazing.

This means that this path can also be taken for local blockbusters.

The key is that one or two failures will not hurt Shen Santong at the moment. He can retreat back to his comfort zone and continue to accumulate.

The reason why Jackie Chan was able to succeed in Hollywood was because of the financial support from Hong Kong and other places, which gave him a place to recover after his failure.

Compared to the success of stone.

The battle for overseas interests in period blockbusters and the wrestling with Hollywood are nothing.

The success of Shitou means that Shen Santong has gained dominance in the mainland film industry.

Just like Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow back then, they have everything they want.

The mainland underworld is not in the limelight, and there is no way to break it up by using underhand tactics, or to seize the interests of Shen Santong's films.

Then you have to adapt to him and the rules he sets.

7 month 31 day.

Early in the morning.

Shen Santong received a text message from Wang Jing, which was sorted out by his assistant.

Several hundred words.

After reading it, I felt that Wang Jing’s vision was indeed very good.

Guessed the propaganda idea.

Multi-line narrative is a more advanced narrative technique, which can still make the audience feel excited by revealing the exciting points in advance.

As for the rest, I’ve said too much.

He was embarrassed by the blowing.

There is no such thing as long-term planning.

Making a small investment to gain a big return is not a well-thought-out decision; it is simply a result of many successful examples in previous lives.

The production of "Red Cliff" is not to upgrade the big production, but just to prevent Wu Yusen from ruining it and rush it into production.

Breakfast meeting.

While having dinner with the main creators, Shen Santong arranged the publicity for this week.

Shen Santong first announced the results of the first weekend: "The box office of Stone in the first weekend was 122 million. It was a great success and a victory for all of us."

I have told you all this at night, but I will say it again in a formal setting to encourage you.

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauds.

Shen Santong: "Shitou broke all the records of The Promise. Our audience numbers and attendance rate in the first week exceeded those of The Promise."

"Among all the data, only the total box office is 20 million less. It's not Zhan's fault, but the release time is one day less. Stone was screened on Thursday, and The Promise was on Wednesday."

The number of moviegoers exceeded that of "The Promise", but the box office did not exceed that of "Stone" because the ticket price was normal.

For Shen Santong's films, whether he directs them or produces them, he will communicate with theaters and keep the ticket prices between thirty and forty.

On the one hand, it is not a blockbuster, the price is too high, and it looks ugly.

On the other hand, he pays great attention to audience word of mouth.

He always believed that God is watching what we do and the audience is not fools.

Well, he promoted it himself.

They often send out press releases, such as "Our Director Shen argued with the theater chain to give back to the audience with low-priced tickets, and was so angry that he cried."

Do good deeds and leave your name.

Shen Sandong said: "We will keep working hard and strive to surpass "Happy Birthday" and let Director Ning become the number one in our film history."

Everyone was shocked.

Ning Hao was also shocked.

Fan Bingbing complained: "You are so arrogant. This is the first in film history. Do you think it's a cabbage?"

Li Xiaolu said: "Brother Shen says he can do whatever he says, but he is not just boasting, he is boasting for other reasons."

Everyone: "."
