Chapter 22 Play a Talk Show (Part 2) Month

It started well, and then everything went smoothly.

"I quite like talk shows. I feel that talk shows are just about trolling...it just so happens that I was also a troll before I debuted!"

"If I don't become a director, I think I can also hold a talk show tour or something. If there is no topic, I will just complain about Bobo, and the venue will definitely be full!"

"Tell me a joke about Bobo. There is a kid from Shanghai named Bobo..."

This joke aroused applause from the audience!

Shen Changlin got excited: "Let me tell you something, you may not know that when our father-in-law was imprisoned, we could get out as long as there was someone to protect him. No one from the work unit was there to protect him; this kind of character is also rare!

Later, when he got into trouble in Shanghai, Guan Dongtian's wife bought a ticket and took a train to send him to her home in Wuhan to hide from the debt, and introduced him to a business to turn around. Later, she realized that he was not the type to do business, so she persuaded him to return to the acting industry;

Thirty years of laughing and talking? Is that what it’s called? On the stage, he shouted like a brother, but in the end, he also had a falling out..."

"This is Bobo, the master of comedy!"

"Bobo's existence has had a great impact on Shanghai. Many of my friends don't like Shanghainese because of Bobo!"

"There is no need. There are scum everywhere. Wang Zhaoming is from Zhejiang, and Premier Zhou is also from Zhejiang!"

"Actually, most artists in the entertainment industry are like this. They seek fame and profit, sensationalize, speak freely, and have low quality... But people like Bobo are still rare. Among celebrities, they are the masters of the ugliness of human nature!"

"By the way, what I said has information that can be checked. It's not just nonsense..."

"Okay, let's talk about the film industry. I am a very popular director and I will reveal to you some ways to make money in the film industry!"

Speaking of this, Shen Changlin chuckled: "You all know that there are many movies on the market that few people watch, but the investment is very high, and the investors behind such movies are large companies, so are they all fools?"

“This involves the business model and business logic of film product design!”

"Listen well, maybe you can make a fortune!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin said: "Actually, many movies do not make money from the audience, but from government subsidies or money from investors and sponsors in the secondary market.

I dare not say more about government subsidies. I will just say that every year there are many projects assigned by the above. So it is not a market commercial project from the beginning, so the producer does not care about the box office at all, as long as the film Once it’s filmed and released in theaters, no matter whether anyone watches it or not, they have completed their mission and the money they should earn has been earned.”

“Let’s focus on the second category. Regarding the design of movies for the secondary market, you have to study investor psychology. Which actors, directors, and movies investors like, then you have to design products according to their preferences.

For example, Chen Xiao is very popular recently, Yang Xiaomi is also very popular, and youth themes are also very popular. Then I will ask them to make a project, buy a youth IP, and find a director, Su Lun...Su Lun can't do it, she is making " "That Year in a Hurry", then look for Ning Hao, "No Man's Land" has been delayed for several years, and I need money...

The bookkeeping is completed, and the cost is calculated. The cost is 60 million. I will double the price and sell it on the secondary market, with a starting price of 120 million.

When a group of investors saw that there were Chen Xiao and Yang Xiaomi, and it was a youth-themed film, oh, director Ning Hao! Then this film will definitely be popular, so hurry up and invest. The share will be sold out in a few seconds. The production company, the film has not yet Shoot, you have already made money.

Then we recruit sponsors, insert advertisements into the movie, and use stars that the sponsor likes as supporting roles. Don’t think about acting skills or anything like that. Don’t think about whether inserting blunt advertisements will affect the overall story...

What matters is making money!

This is how the sponsors' money is earned.

The money that should be earned is now in place.

As for how the movie turns out in the end, it doesn't matter how much it earns at the box office.

When the time comes, spend some more money on promotions to increase the filming rate.

The Chinese market is so big and there are so many viewers. There are always people who have never seen the world. The box office will not be too low, at least over 100 million, even if it is less than 100 million, anyway, the loss will be a loss of investors' money. The production company has already made a lot of money. Full."

The audience was already shocked, Shen Changlin smiled: "This is just one of the methods, there is also money laundering... This is illegal, but there are quite a lot of people doing it, but it's not convenient for me to say this... "

Director Ye, who was sitting in the first row, asked the question at the right moment: "Don't you understand?"

"Of course I understand, who are you looking down on..."

Shen Changlin suddenly smiled: "Well, I really don't understand, because I think "Big Shot" with a 40 million investment can sell 800 million box office, "Left Ear" cost 35 million, and the box office exceeds 500 million, and "Search" Overseas copyrights exceed US$8 million... I don’t seem to need to take any shortcuts, I am the shortcut myself!”

Speaking of this, he pretended to be embarrassed: "Actually, I still have one paragraph in my talk show...Dandan wrote the last paragraph for me, and I really don't have the courage to say it..."

"Let me tell you!"

Wang Zijian came out: "Shen Changlin, the box office record holder of Chinese movies, the new winner of the Berlin Film Festival Jury Prize, and he also has a game company, Changlin Games, we play "Young Three Kingdoms", "My Family MT" "They are all the works of their game company..."

"A round of applause to director Shen Changlin of "Search"!"



The program entered interview mode. Wang Zijian sat in front of him and asked: "How do you feel?"

"...It's quite difficult. The feeling of writing a joke is still different from telling a joke..."

"You still write jokes?"

"...except for the last sentence in the paragraph just now, wasn't it all written by me?"

Wang Zijian smiled and then asked: "I want to ask you a personal question."

"explain…"

""Big Shot" has a box office of over RMB 800 million, making it the single highest-grossing movie in Chinese film history. It should also be the single most profitable movie, right?"

"Almost... because "Big Shot" has a lot of product placement, and there are a lot of brand sponsorships for later promotions, so the cost is almost zero."

"Did you feel anything strange at that time?"

"Weird?"

Wang Zijian smiled mischievously: "I just feel that I have to make movies. If I don't make movies, what will the Chinese people see? Do you still feel like you are alone and seeking defeat?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "I'm not that kind of person!"

This is the connotation von pants!

"Does "Search" have a box office target this time? Let's say one billion!"

"It's impossible...the subject matter this time is a bit serious."

“I heard it’s about cyber violence?”

"Yes... the story is very simple. The protagonist Ye Lanqiu, who learned that he was terminally ill, refused to give up his seat to an old man on the bus. He happened to be photographed by reporter Chen Ruoxi. It tells how a piece of news can be manipulated intentionally and unintentionally. It developed into a "hot Internet incident" and eventually triggered the whole process of "Internet crusade" and "national trial". Later, the heroine Ye Lanqiu died..."

"die?"

"Being diagnosed with lymphoma was just an inducement. He didn't give up his seat on the bus, which caused an uproar. He was doxxed and intimidated. In order to gain traffic, the media maliciously expanded the facts.

The video of her sincere apology was suppressed by the media, and then a bunch of netizens framed her as a mistress...

All kinds of accusations are piled up together, and everyone’s words are worth the gold..."

"A bit like Ruan Lingyu?"

"Yes, people's words are scary!"

Wang Zijian nodded: "Is this the first film in Chinese film history to criticize online violence?"
Chapter completed!
