Chapter 836 Returning to China (34)

May, Nanjing, Xichangmen.

"The God of Medicine" is a realistic theme. Every character lives near the poverty line and naturally cannot afford to live in a high-rise building...

Xichangmen is very good!

The factory in Xichangmen refers to the Nanjing Dachang District, a very prosperous area in the last century.

Grocery store, snack shop, old-fashioned hair salon, knitting shop, chess and card room...

But with the relocation of the city center, young people are rarely seen in nearby alleys.

Its vitality is more retained in the memories of the older generation of big manufacturers: Waiwai oil, friendship cream in iron boxes, Pechoin, wool...

During the running time, Xichangmen walked a lot slower.

Cats taking a nap in the afternoon sun, old people sunbathing at the door, the current Xichangmen always gives people a sense of déjà vu from the last century.

Very suitable for the filming of "The God of Medicine"...

This is also the reason why Shen Changlin chose to shoot here. Of course, the city government has given great support...

Shen Changlin was among the crew who arrived with Shi Shi.

Shi Shi didn't have many scenes, so she stayed for ten days and left after filming...

She was quite excited, this was her first time filming a Shen Changlin movie!

Shen Changlin looked at his wife: "As for what?"

Shi Shi nodded naturally: "Is this my first time working with you?"

"first?"

"certainly!"

Shi Shi's tone was firm, and Shen Changlin was a little confused. He scratched his head and asked cautiously: "Isn't it from "Detective Chinatown"?"

Shi Shi was a little embarrassed: "...That's the second time!"

Shen Changlin reached out and touched her forehead suspiciously... There was nothing strange, so he asked tentatively, "...Are you pregnant?"

Shi Shi was confused: "Am I pregnant?"

"...You win!"

I have only heard of being pregnant for three years, but I have never heard of being engaged and being pregnant for several months...

…

Well, the parents of both parties met at the beginning of the year and set a wedding date. The relationship between the two is now closer...

In the past few months, Shen Changlin and Shi Shi traveled all over Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, and even Argentina...

I saw the aurora and polar bears in Finland, skied in the Alps, and went to Kennedy to witness the baring teeth of lions...

I just returned home last month.

After returning to China, I briefly handled the company's business.

All pretty good.

The projects are all profitable, especially "Crime City", which has a box office of 930 million, and a sequel has been announced - this film had a good chance of breaking 1 billion, catching up with "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter", "Wolverine 3", "A Dog's Purpose"…

"When a Man Loves", box office of 620 million;

"Introduction to Architecture" has a box office of 690 million, and Rouba has defended her status as the national goddess - in the same period, there were "Beauty and the Beast" and "Kong: Skull Island";

It is worth mentioning that "Telephone" has a box office of 590 million, breaking the box office record of mainland thrillers. It is also quite unlucky. In the second week of its release, "Fast and Furious 8" is coming!

"Fast 8" is really crazy, with 410 million on the first day, 479 million when including the midnight show, 487 million on the next day, 385 million on the third day, and 1.352 billion on the first three days...

Even three weeks after its release, it can still beat the three new films released on May 1st - "The Bomb Disposal Expert", "Chun Jiao Saves Zhiming" and "The Memory Master"...

By the way, as of today, May 4th, apart from the Spring Festival releases of "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Riding the Wind and Waves", the box office has exceeded 1 billion, and the domestic film with the highest box office is "Crime City" …

The top ten, from 4th to 7th, are all occupied by Changlin Film and Television...

The eighth place is "The Bomb Disposal Expert" with 372 million...

Then, "Father and Son", produced and starring Da Peng, just exceeded 200 million, and the tenth place was "Extraordinary Mission", with 157 million...

That’s right, winter has arrived!

It feels like the market has returned to ten years ago, and breaking over 100 million is a luxury...

It was even worse back then. During the 6 months from the Spring Festival to the summer, not a single domestic film exceeded 500 million!

No one film won the single-day championship, all were monopolized by imported films!

A large number of film and television companies have reduced projects, adjusted plans or simply closed down.

So much so that at the new Shanghai International Film Festival, all the film and television companies that were crazy about issuing film lists disappeared.

Overnight, if a domestic film exceeds 100 million yuan, it is considered a good film. To exceed 300 million yuan requires a strong reputation. In the past six months, only "The Legend of Monkey King" produced by the visual department has exceeded 500 million yuan...

The entire industry is in a state of panic!

In this time and space, even with Changlin Film and Television, there is not enough to watch - especially the three works with good reputation in the May 1st period were actually beaten by "Fast and Furious 8" which was released for three weeks...

Are the audience not watching movies?

Obviously not, not to mention the box office record of 400 million in a single day of "Fast and Furious 8", the audience poured in like a tide, "Despicable Me 3", a Minion pet movie easily exceeded 1 billion, and it was harvested...

Just talking about the few works released by Changlin Film and Television in the first half of the year, even if there are strong enemies around, the minimum is over 500 million.

"The Call" also set a new box office record for the horror and suspense genre.

Unlike the wailing industry, Shen Changlin returned to China last month and made it clear: "This summer, "The Great Sage", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and "Wolf Warrior 2" will definitely set new box office goals!"

Full of confidence!

…

When Shi Shi was promoting "The Telephone", she was asked by many reporters and media about the US$4.28 billion. Her answer was just one sentence: "I heard about it, but I don't know the specific situation..."

"Don't you care?"

"Why do I care about this? It's not my money!"

I replied, and then the media spread rumors that my relationship had changed...

Shi Shi's team refuted the rumors and became a hot search topic, which can be regarded as promoting the movie.

Shi Shi really has no interest in US$4.28 billion.

She had always known that Shen Changlin was rich and capable, but she didn't know exactly how he made his fortune. Of course, she didn't really want to know.

She only knew that Shen Changlin would give her a dividend every year, saying it was the profits of investment institutions, which could be used as her pocket money to buy food and clothes...

She checked and found that last year's dividend was 134 million yuan...

Tsk tsk, a rich family’s daughter-in-law is nothing more than that!

However, after she got off the car, she saw that the newsstand on the street actually sold "People", and the cover character happened to be Shen Changlin!

I quickly asked Xiaoxia to buy a copy and then gave it to her.

She immediately looked through it - she knew that Shen Changlin had received several exclusive interviews after returning to China, and they were all relatively high-end magazines, such as "Fortune", "People" and so on...

What I got is indeed the latest issue of "People" magazine. The cover is a frontal close-up of Shen Changlin. The close-up is obviously taken from the bottom up. Shen Changlin is wearing a white shirt, a very simple outfit. The title is "The Godfather of the New Generation of Chinese Films"

'…

There is also a note: The emergence of Shen Changlin quickly filled the gap in Chinese film genres, giving the audience a new possibility, giving movie lovers a broad space, and giving action movie fans a new way to show off their skills.

Bring new style, logic, and even way of thinking to commercial films!

After the cover, there is a large report about the interview...

Take a look, basically using the most intuitive question-and-answer method, and published an exclusive interview...

"The movie market is a bit sluggish this year, what do you think?"

"I am confident that bad movies and mediocre movies are less popular, while good movies and high-quality works are more popular! Therefore, I have scheduled "The Richest Man in Xihong City" for June 20. To put it bluntly, I

I don’t believe that audiences will continue to watch bad movies!”

"June 20th?"
Chapter completed!
