Chapter 1067 "Heart Blossoms on the Road" (13)

The first drama directed by Shen Xudong was starring Deng Chao - "Life Events"...

It's really awesome...

After getting in touch with him, I found that this person is very simple.

In his mind, apart from acting and theater, he also plays basketball and occasionally picks up girls...

To be honest, this is much better than Chen Kun and others...

Chen Kun and his gang kept talking about the power of walking all day long...

To put it simply, Deng Chao is a pure drama fanatic, and he is also very enterprising. Unlike Liu Ye and Tong Dawei, who are already satisfied...

With these attributes, coupled with the talent that is hundreds of times that of Huang Xiaoming, as long as he continues to choose scripts and restrains his narcissistic desires, he will at least be the most promising person among his peers to achieve the level of achievements of Wang Zhiwen and Chen Daoming.

Later, he joined Tianmei and became the official first brother of Tianmei...

Whenever there is a role suitable for him, he will definitely be given the role...

Maybe it's because comedies have become more popular in recent years, and Xu Zheng directs and acts himself, which gives him more say, so he also wants to transform into a director...

What a waste of strength!

Shen Xudong really feels that his most suitable role is that of a domineering president.

"The Difficult Love of Diamond King" almost uses textbook acting skills to interpret a "real boss"...

And it’s not greasy at all!

As for why he fell behind later?

The film and television industry has always been about swimming against the current and retreating if you don't advance.

Compared with some actors, actresses, and celebrities who became famous at a young age, became famous early, and then rested on their laurels and forgot their original aspirations, many of them have become middle-aged due to mediocre looks, lack of resources, or poor opportunities. The middle-aged actors who finally exerted their efforts and gradually gained recognition from the audience by conscientiously shaping their characters have never fallen behind, or even been worse than them, when compared with their acting skills and their own professional abilities.

Resting on their laurels is equivalent to giving up the opportunity!

However, Deng Chao's level is still there, and he has excellent plasticity. He can do costume dramas, suspenseful criminal investigations, military action, literary and artistic niches, and even falling in love is not against the law...

Just don’t touch comedy!

…

Company, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo came over for a meeting.

"Heart Blossom Road" will be released soon, and we will cooperate with the publicity department in formulating publicity work.

Marketing for the Iron Triangle title has begun...

Make it a brand!

Two crazy series: "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Race"; and later "Manslaughter";

"Beautiful Heart" continues the collaboration between the three of them, and this time no remuneration will be taken, all of it will be counted as an investment...

Ning Hao's discount is 20%, Xu Zheng's 10%, Huang Bo's 10%...

It's considered bound together.

In fact, there are many small teams in the circle. They may have gotten together because of the drama, or they have similar temperaments, or they may have related interests...

The most typical one is Feng Xiaogang + Ge You;

The trio of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are not weak in terms of fame and qualifications!

These three people, whether together or separately, are heavyweights in the industry.

The project "Heart Blossoms on the Road" has been worth billions from the beginning...

Therefore, investment rights are very popular, and Shen Xudong is also very generous. He only retained 30% of the main investment, gave 10% to China Film, 10% to Maoyan, and the remaining 50% to them...

However, there will be no dividend rewards this time!

Back to the topic, the three of them met in the conference hall first and talked about "The Breakup Master", which has grossed close to 800 million yuan. Their collective feeling... was not very good...

"I just felt that the jokes were very vulgar...the whole play was completely insincere!"

"When you take on two variety shows a year and your net income exceeds 60 million, you won't be able to make movies well..."

"Net income exceeds 60 million? Is it so profitable to do variety shows now?"

"What do you think…"

"Didn't Lao Huang participate in that "Great Challenge"? And earn so much?"

"...Almost the same, maybe a little higher..."

"The Great Challenge", Huang Bo was paid 2.8 million for one period and 33.6 million for 12 periods...

Ning Hao doesn't really agree with actors doing variety shows: "Would doing variety shows dissolve the actor's attributes?"

Xu Zheng waved his hand: "For many actors, why should I be a good actor? To take on more plays. Why should I take on more plays? To make more money. Variety shows make more money? Then I will do it Doing variety shows...cut out the middlemen..."

Huang Bo explained: "I couldn't refuse... You see, I said I would take a year off, and they came to see me three times... I had no choice but to go!"

"Actually, most actors only have three roles. If the same image appears too often, the audience will get bored. Why not go on a variety show to make some quick money..." Shen Xudong happened to hear them talking about this when he came in, and he took advantage of the situation...

He used to firmly oppose actors appearing in variety shows...

However, I haven't been so persistent lately.

The ecological chain is different. Nowadays, stars care about exposure. Taking part in variety shows can increase their exposure. Besides, if you don’t do variety shows, can you ensure that you don’t fall behind?

Brother Hu and Liu Shishi are not in variety shows, and now they are almost gone...

"Good scripts and suitable roles are like antelopes hanging on their horns. Shouldn't I wait and settle? If I were an actor, I would choose to go to a suitable variety show to make money, and look for the horse first."

"In the final analysis. You have to have good works to support you!"

"That's right... Come on, let's see how "All the Way to the West" is promoted..."

"It's "Heart Blossoms on the Road"!"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's all about a date trip..."

…

From the plot point of view, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" is indeed a date trip!

Geng Hao divorced, Hao Yi took him all the way south, on a journey of hunting for women...

Of course, Yan didn't catch her.

Shen Xudong really likes "Heart Blossoms on the Road" - it is a mature road movie shot by a stable director, with a complete story line, and can basically meet the needs of entertainment.

Road movies have a fixed formula.

It's just that the protagonist encounters trouble or trouble in life for some reason, and embarks on a journey with his friends, strangers or other people he meets by chance. Along the way, he continues to experience various people and things, and the character's personality gradually develops during the encounter. Transformation and finally gaining some kind of enlightenment.

Generally speaking, the two protagonists are bound to quarrel, and one of them may even leave, but in the end they must return and reconcile;

Also, the problem that the protagonist has at the beginning of the film must be solved at the end...

The key is that Ning Hao also played a trick: narrative structure.

The two-line narrative seduces the audience, making everyone look forward to the hero and heroine meeting in Dali.

Then, the movie is revealed at the climax. On the one hand, it is a narration, but on the other hand, the timeline is advanced. When the female protagonist reaches the end, it becomes the true beginning of the male protagonist...

In fact, the theme of this movie is mid-life crisis!

It doesn't please the audience very much, because the main people who go to movie theaters to watch movies today have not yet reached their mid-life crisis.

But the actors performed really well...

As for why Douban's rating is so low, it's probably because it satirized Kang Xiaoyu - at the end of the movie, Kang Xiaoyu said to Geng Hao: "But living a life is not just about living a life." Then... the camera turned to her current employer My husband's car - Audi Q7, worth 900,000!

The meaning of this shot is self-explanatory.

She is a fool. She initiated the divorce on her own initiative. She knew her ex-husband was heartbroken and made dozens of phone calls to explain repeatedly, "I'm sorry," "You have to have a good life," and "Don't be sad." What else is this woman to be like if she isn't the best?

In fact, those who chase after you and keep saying "I wish you happiness" after a breakup are idiots and scoundrels.

However, Yuan Quan is indeed awesome, and it is quite strong to be able to play such a character in a less annoying way.

Put it into perspective, if Kang Xiaoyu was played by Fan Xiaopang or Yang Xiaomi, tsk tsk, it would be unwatchable...
