Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

It is rare to finish work early today, and it was still dark when I got off work. In addition to the lack of light bulbs, Chen Ergou simply drove to a well-known restaurant to eat something he wanted.

After ordering a pot of tea, the two sat opposite each other.

After Chen Ergou came in, he kept answering and making phone calls, speaking Chinese and English, frowning and smiling until he hung up the phone and relaxed. He seemed to be in a good mood.

"What would you like to eat, have you ordered?"

"Yes. The film will be finished in a week, right? I heard that the post-production of science fiction films will take a long time?"

Li Shishi put down his phone and asked casually.

"Soon, our film post-production will be faster. But it may take a while before the film is released, I plan to go to the film festival first. You know, we have found the distributor Warner Bros. If the situation does not change, It is also the first to be released abroad.”

Li Shishi was stunned, "Why? Your last film won 700 million domestic box office, breaking the record. Maybe the domestic audience base is even higher."

Chen Ergou shook his head, "It's not the same. Although the score of the last documentary was good, it can only be regarded as a fan movie at best. The novelty adventure and the timeliness of the news bombardment helped a lot, but this time it is a real breakthrough. boundary."

"Maybe it is very popular now to cross-industry, such as singers, if you are good at singing, you can act, and if you are good at acting, you can direct. What I was before, an actor was a secondary stage, at most a variety show. None of my die-hard fans would like it."

Li Shishi said: "But you did a good job, they just don't know."

"right."

Chen Ergou smiled, "I also think I am competent, so what's the use of that, the overall environment is already rotten."

"When an idol singer goes to act, he's an outsider doing things like an insider. Before crossing the line, he doesn't even have time to hone his acting skills. If he's too popular, there are too many off-site entertainments, and he can't study the script well. So As you can see, some of the people on the screen are acting like they are drunk, they stand or sit, they have the same expression for the whole play, and they even cut out all the pictures. This kind of work can be put on the screen , the audience may buy it once or twice, but no more.”

Li Shishi blushed, feeling that he was talking about these young actors.

Chen Ergou added: "It's not that there are no cross-border situations in foreign countries. There are more of them. Correspondingly, the environment should be more relaxed. In addition, the film is a space science fiction theme. One has the support of a distribution company, and the other has no distribution foundation in China. Comprehensive consideration Next, we will also choose a safe distribution plan.”

"You think clearly, but...don't you worry?"

"What are you worried about...failure?" He smiled and said, "I can afford to lose. One year ago today, I was still lying on the hospital bed, planning for the future with the one hundred thousand yuan given by Hu Ge. But now I can easily control a sci-fi movie with an investment of 50 million US dollars, at worst, I will start all over again. It’s just that you are the heroine of this movie, and you have paid so much, don’t you want the movie to be successful.”

Li Shishi raised his neck, his eyes wandered left and right, and he didn't meet his burning eyes, "Of course I want to. After practicing for so long, I work overtime every day. My waist is almost broken."

Suddenly remembered something, and said with some embarrassment: "I ask you a question, don't you mind... It's all Sister Cai asked me to ask.

She said that you are currently preparing a new TV series with an urban theme. You also asked about the buyback contract. Do you... want to leave Tangren? "

Chen Ergou knew it clearly, and said without concealing it: "I did ask Xia Meng. I didn't expect the change to be so fast. In the past, Tangren was a well-known film and television company that was unattainable in my eyes. Now it seems that Tangren is still too old. Small, it is second to none in China in the production of costume TV dramas. Urban themes or movies are too scarce. I am not suitable to act in costume TV dramas, and the Tang people have Hu Ge."

"Would you like me to stay?"

"No……"

Master Li thought for a while and said, "Since it's better for you to leave, why should I stop it. It's just that Sister Cai may not be too talkative. Don't worry, I will help you persuade Sister Cai."

Chen Ergou smiled, and said without hesitation: "Sister Cai is kind to me, but she can't control me. As long as you don't say anything to keep you away from me, I don't care."

Li Shishi's pretty face turned red, "Let's have some drinks today, congratulations on finding another treasure."

"That's something to celebrate. Waiter..."

...

White snow began to fall outside the window again, and the heating inside the house made a layer of hoarfrost condense on the glass, but the topic of the box never left the film and television circle.

The domestic film market has matured since 2016, and everyone began to pursue different things. Bad movies can no longer be sold, and neither feelings nor big star signs can be used anymore.

After 16 years, all kinds of slogans to catch up with Hollywood are loudly shouted. In fact, compared with the United States, even after 2018, there is still a big gap. Most obviously, domestic films cannot go global. The overall environment of the film industry is too different. For a simple comparison, the box office accounts for only more than half of the revenue of a domestically produced blockbuster movie, or almost all of it in some cases.

There are very few peripherals and the like, which makes it difficult for distribution companies to invest in more types of movies. Instead, they will rush to invest in genre films that are relatively more marketable.

For example, youth films, such as urban light comedies, such as Xiao Xianrou and IP.

However, no matter whether the market is mature or not, good movies, especially good works that have been publicized, will still be recognized by the public. But it is only a small part in Hollywood. Take "Barbosa" as an example. Many media have calculated how much money Chen Ergou made from this movie?

Five thousand dollars, one hundred million dollars?

The real number will only be higher, because the DVD has sold surprisingly well. Warner has made a lot of money, and now they only think that the original contract gave Chen Ergou too high a share, and they underestimated the popularity of this documentary. Now some people have even suggested that "Barbosa" should hit the Oscar Documentary Award.

However, the income of a movie does not mean that Chen Ergou can ignore Cai Yinong's confidence.

The crew has been filming quietly, entering the final finishing stage. Chen Ergou didn't want to be disturbed, but things backfired. The matter of the meteorite caused a lot of trouble, and several laboratories sent requests, hoping to cooperate in the research. The media clung to the flagpole of morality, questioned the ownership of the meteorite, and wanted him to donate it to the country.

Principal Wang called several times, asking him to take the time to practice LOL together, because the All-Star Game is about to start in the spring!

"Where do I have the time? Do I leave the movie with an investment of several hundred million? Anyway, it's the Entertainment Bureau. I'll play it. It would be more interesting to let Rengar play."

"Rengar? Little Leopard? MMP, are you kidding me?"

The principal was very annoyed, "Anyway, you take the time to practice, and if you really can't do it, then you can use it as an assistant."

"I almost forgot. Let me tell you something. The Penguin NBA asked me how you play basketball. The NBA wants to invite you to participate in this year's All-Star Celebrity Game. MB, why are you so lucky? This time the All-Star But it’s held in Los Angeles, and I haven’t been there a few times.”

"The NBA invited me?" Monk Chen Ergouzhanger was puzzled, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

"That is to say, if you meet me, ask me first, and I will contact you soon. Don't refuse this time, hurry up and finish filming your crap movie, and then practice basketball. Don't embarrass my brother then."

"..."

Xia Meng soon brought news that the NBA had indeed sent out an invitation, and the Penguins had also made great efforts. Penguin Sports has always been an important official partner of the NBA.

This year Yao Ming has basically been unable to play, and there have been rumors that he will retire. If the NBA wants to open up the Chinese market, it will lose a general. What should we do in the post-Yao Ming era? It just so happened that Hero-Chen was very popular in the United States during this period, so it was also a coincidence that he sent the invitation through Penguin.
