Chapter 435 Ridiculous logic! Lin Zhilin sends tea! (33)

Shen Santong did not hide anything.

Share successful experiences.

Shen Santong said: "The movie Red Cliff has achieved this result. I think it is necessary to stick to a basic point."

“We should highlight what the subject matter should highlight.”

“For example, if the main theme has to focus on human nature, that’s putting the cart before the horse.”

“The humanity I’m talking about is not the normal, living humanity, but the humanity emphasized in literary and artistic films.”

"It's not necessary to make a mainstream film to highlight the humanity of the art film."

"It's fine to have an art film set in the countryside, a mountain village, or the marginalized people in the city."

“But since we are shooting a mainstream film, we cannot abandon the grand narrative, the times, without doctrine, without consciousness, without the country, and without the people.”

“Think these are illusory things, but they are precisely the essence of the main theme.”

“To make the impossible possible is the spirit of changing the world.”

The main theme is not something that came into being in later generations, it exists now.

It just didn’t look good.

Some directors abandon the essence of the main theme and talk about human nature.

Not only is it a problem of putting the cart before the horse, but also the use of art film style to shoot the main theme, and then after it turns out not to be a good film, it is said that the audience does not like to watch the main theme and is not interested in grand narratives.

The director is not very capable and the subject matter is weird.

Shen Santong continued, "The same is true for historical blockbusters. The long river of history is vast and long."

"This is our civilization, our culture, our ancestors, one event after another, one person after another, whether glorious or miserable, it has condensed the long river of time."

“Brilliant and gorgeous, unparalleled!”

"We have witnessed the end of a dynasty where civilization collapsed and order was gone. We have personally experienced how to preserve the flame of civilization in such a great turmoil and how to rebuild civilization from the ruins."

"We have seen real suffering and real wars. There have been more than one wars in which more than half the population died."

"We are a mature civilization and we are not easy to fool."

"The anti-war issue, as I have discussed before, has nothing to do with us."

"The way we love peace is to prevent modern history from repeating itself."

"By the same token, if it's an anti-war drama, there are many other themes that can be filmed. There's no need to film a historical theme."

"The theme of my film is to convey a more positive attitude."

"Cao Cao wanted to unify the country and become emperor. Liu Bei and Sun Quan wanted to survive. Wu Hou made plans for Liu Bei and fought for his own interests. Zhou Yu and Lu Su fought for their own interests."

“Everyone was fighting from beginning to end.”

"My understanding is that the fight itself is the meaning, the struggle itself is the meaning, and the result is just a gift."

"In short, a historical blockbuster should highlight the historical tone."

“It is ridiculous to make a historical blockbuster without explaining the historical tone and then say that the audience is not interested in the historical genre.”

The press conference ends.

Shen Santong did not forget to promote his next movie: "Red Cliff (Part 2) will be released in the summer of next year."

"The second film has a lot more special effects than the first one, and we are still working on it now. There will be multiple versions, including the regular version, the China Giant Screen version, the IMAX version, and the 3D version, the China Giant Screen 3D and IMAX 3D."

“We will try our best to present the best audio-visual effects to the audience. I will also appear in the second part as a little easter egg.”

China's giant screen and giant screen 3D are not as mature as IMAX in terms of technology, but the timing is very good. The IMAX format is not fully mature yet and is just beginning to develop in China.

What Shen Sanyong used was 2D to 3D conversion, pseudo 3D.

3D is okay as a gimmick.

Once the novelty wears off, the viewing experience is just average.

It is easy to get tired, dizzy, and even vomit.

Unless it can develop into naked-eye 3D to reduce fatigue.

Overall, the giant screen format and IMAX have the best viewing effects and are the most audience-friendly.

But we still have to make it in 3D, even if it is a pseudo-3D version.

Next year, both "Red Cliff (Part 3)" and "The Shallows" will have D versions, which will help enhance Shen San Tong's image.

The road to becoming a great leader requires new labels.

The label of "technology geek" is very good, full of youthful, fashionable and technological sense.

Not everyone can create the character of a technology fanatic, especially as a Chinese, Shen Santong has to face more scrutiny.

In this regard, people like Musk have a natural ability to tell stories.

PayPal payment is not as popular as Alipay.

In fact, he robbed the founder's company by making electric cars, and there has been no technological upgrades or updates for a long time, and the models are still the same.

The car can be built thanks to Todai, which made the PPT a reality.

Playing with rockets and putting them in the hands of Tokyo University is a typical example of embezzlement of state-owned assets. NASA became empty, but many senior officials at the time became rich and got shares in Musk's company.

Logically speaking, space exploration means going to the moon first and then to Mars.

The reason why Musk's company set its sights on Mars rather than the moon is not because he likes challenges.

The moon is too close and Mars is too far away.

It will take several years to come up with the technology to go to the moon, but going to Mars is much easier and does not require short-term verification.

It is impossible to disprove and is easy to hype. But generally no one will question it.

It’s the same principle as when Nolan made a movie. As a white person in the Five Eyes Alliance, with a strong culture, there are many people who support him when he brags.

Shen Santong could imagine how many people would doubt his reputation as a world-class marketing technology geek after the 3D screening.

Then 10 years later, "Avatar" was released, and how many people were promoting it again.

At the celebration banquet.

Han Sanping's face was almost broken by laughter.

Even if he doesn't use any tricks, this movie has a great chance of making 700 million or even 100 million dollars.

If we do a good job in distributing it in Asia and then try to sell it in the West, it will definitely enter the top 50 in the global annual box office.

make money!

So proud!

Snapped!
Shen Santong and Han Sanping smashed the ice sculpture with 557829628 written on it.

After twelve days of release, it grossed 2 million, breaking the film history record of "Happy Birthday " and topping the list.

Since "Happy Birthday 1", Shen Santong has been destroying himself.

Ning Hao came over to toast.

Shen Santong took a sip and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I'll tell Huang Bo and Xu Zheng that we should film the good show now."

"Just take care of yourself."

Li Ming and Zhong Fangli came over and tried to get close to him.

Shen Santong ignored him, holding the wine glass and leaving, saying calmly: "Who do you think you are? You come to pass on a message to Wu Yusen. You are so bold. Why don't you look in the mirror and see if you are qualified?"

Some are happy and some are sad.

the other side.

Wu Yusen hung up the phone with a gloomy look.

Shen Santong had already won so much with this defeat, but he still didn't leave any loopholes.

He directly promoted two new dramas and criticized a popular teacher in the mainland.

The propaganda direction has shifted.

Obviously, after defeating him, no heat was given to him at all.

And he even asked him to thank him. What an idiot! Wu Yusen wanted to kill Shen Santong.

Wu Yusen called Lin Zhilin over and took out a bag: "I asked my friend to buy a box of good tea. You can deliver it to Shen Santong."

Lin Zhilin was stunned and pretended to be stupid: "You don't need me to deliver the tea, right?"

Wu Yusen said worriedly: "I have thought of a way to boost the box office. The only variable is Shen Santong."

"You go and serve tea, which means I admit defeat. You send it with sincerity."

The development of things was far different from what he expected, with the box office crushing by several times and the reputation being disastrous.

The argument that "Shen Santong understands the market better" was a long-planned retreat that could not be implemented.

Wu Yusen plans to simply promote the film with nonsensical and outrageous lines, focusing on comedy.

It's a bit damaging to the reputation of a blockbuster movie to promote it like this.

But, box office is the most important!

Even if you completely disregard the director's reputation, you may not succeed.

Shen Santong is a variable.

In order to save the box office, we have to stabilize Shen Santong and prevent him from disrupting the show.

Moreover, the reputation of "Red Cliff" (Part 1) is so bad that we can't wait too long for the second part.

It will also be launched at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

If spoofs can bring in box office revenue, the next film will also rely on spoofs.

Shen Santong must be stabilized.

Lin Chi-lin serving tea is a sign of sincerity.

That's what she does. The reason she was a little resistant was that she thought she had climbed up the ladder.

It's actually a joke.

Who will marry her home?

Lin Chi-lin doesn't want to go, this is simply the plot of the next movie.

Could it be possible for Xiao Qiao, a girl, to go to Cao's camp just to have a simple cup of tea?
When Wu Yusen saw that she refused, and thought of Sato forcing him from behind, he lost his last bit of patience.

Wu Yusen's tone turned cold: "I asked Xiaoyanzi to act with you. In terms of the role, she is your supporting role."

"If I can lift you up, I can destroy you."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Lin Zhilin changed his tone and said, "I need to think about it."

Wu Yusen said: "It's better to be quick, you do it well."

"Think about it from another angle. Shen Santong is much more handsome than Boss Guo."

Lin Zhilin stood up and left: "Let me think about it."

Wu Yusen reminded: "Take the tea leaves with you before you go."
