Chapter 1081 Martial Arts Planning (34)

Shen Xudong has always wanted to restart martial arts movies...

It's the kind of thing that doesn't involve thinking, just a popcorn attribute.

The key point of martial arts is the word "xia"!

Not to mention Jin Yong's "serving the country and the people", in fact, Shen Xudong's understanding is that a chivalrous person uses force to break the law!

The so-called breaking the ban is actually resisting authority. This is their background. The values ​​​​in mainstream martial arts novels are to despise the court eagle dogs, just like the taboo in gang fights in Hong Kong gangster movies is to call the police.

The spirit of martial arts itself is opposed to cynicism.

The idea of ​​a knight may not be correct, but a knight must act according to his will and be true to his heart.

What ordinary readers in martial arts culture actually get is the pleasure of resisting rules and injustice: no matter what your power, conspiracy, or routine, the boss will use martial arts to defeat you.

The background of martial arts is the perspective of the bottom. Even the protagonist with the character of a noble prince never regards himself as a savior, and he is even more taboo about bullying the weak.

There is a group of such people in Gu Long's "Happy Heroes", who are proud, confident, and proud of their superiors without bullying their inferiors.

Those who have high emotional intelligence and are social people, including those who want to climb up the ladder, are actually suitable for officialdom and business wars, and should never be placed in the world of martial arts...

Of course, martial arts instruction is also very important. Shen Xudong still likes the kind of extremely fast speed that creates continuous suppression. For example, a double-sword master uses footwork to chop continuously, as fast as a cloud of sword shadows in the sky. In this rhythm, he can The enemy blocked and was unable to counterattack... instead of splitting the water droplets with a knife in slow motion...

For those who ride horses, I feel that the current action design comes from "A Bite of China", slow motion, then slower, frame extraction, fast, then slow motion, concave shapes...

After a set of actions, it feels like he wants you to see the chemical formula of each ingredient!

Neuropathy!

Let’s start with two pure popcorn movies to test the market response: “Defiant” and “A Thousand Miles Away”, starring Xie Miao and Wu Yue respectively...

Martial arts movies must have a sense of excitement, and this sense of excitement must be achieved through the actors' fighting, which requires the actors themselves to have martial arts skills.

You can’t ask Xiao Zhan to star in a serious martial arts movie, right?

But Xu Ke wants to do "The Condor" and "The Condor Shooting", so let him do it!

Xu Ke still has a reputation.

In addition, the costumes of "The Condor" and "The Condor Shooting" can be licensed as peripherals, which can be used in martial arts, ancient costume-style folklore, and restaurants...

This came from the crew of "The Wandering Earth" - there was a Dongguan toy factory called Killerbody, who took the initiative to find peripherals authorized by the crew to make clothes, and then saw that the props were in tatters and the drawings were incomplete, so the toy factory joined in and almost It has been re-engineered and designed so that it can run, jump and move...

Shen Xudong simply asked them to become a film and television supplier, and the molding costs were directly covered by the mass production of peripherals. In one step, the movie props and peripherals were designed and produced together.

It's lightweight and looks more professional, so actors don't have to dress so hard to perform.

It seems very simple, but actually it breaks the rules - some of the supply of services in film and television dramas are monopolized by factories in the industry, so Shen Xudong directly went to outside the industry...

For example, the restoration of the armor circle has reached a certain level. The armors used in costume dramas are still so fantasy, because some companies have a monopoly on providing props, and it does not mean whoever is good at it can use it...

Shen Xudong is planning to find a few more professional companies outside the industry to join!

If you want to engage in industrial production, you cannot be limited to the small circles of film, television, literature and art.

…

In the original time and space, "The Wheel" (Part 1) failed miserably at the box office. The investors were very worried and asked Wu Yusen to adjust the film to adapt to the market.

Wu Yusen was getting old, and when faced with this new world, he suddenly felt at a loss.

At this time, Xu Ke jumped out silently.

He introduced many excellent feature teams to Wu Yusen, and even took the initiative to undertake the post-editing work of "Under the Taiping Wheel".

Xu Ke directly cut "The Taiping Wheel" (Part 1 and 2) into one version - a review of dozens of minutes of past events, completely abandoning the previous one...

So, it seems much smoother, and the reputation is also good...

But... most of the audience has lost trust in Wu Yusen, and the distribution company has completely despaired of Wu Yusen and has not promoted it at all... Therefore, the box office of "The Taiping Wheel (Part 2)" is even worse...

In fact, the failure of "Tai Ping Wheel" is inevitable. Not to mention its flaws in the narrative, the material selection alone determines its failure.

Let’s take a look at some of the protagonists: a Fruit Party officer, a comprador capitalist’s daughter, a prostitute from old Shanghai, a Fruit Party soldier, and a Japanese military doctor~

Can they represent the vast number of Chinese people of that era? What other stories can be told about them other than dying and being eliminated?

Perhaps their experiences can arouse emotional resonance in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we can now sympathize with their involvement in the whirlpool of civil war...

But their little joys and sorrows are nothing compared to the suffering of the vast number of people in old China who were starving and dying!

In the eyes of most people, "The Taiping Wheel" is just a pretentious literary style and a strong preaching atmosphere that makes people unable to see the future.

It’s not that we can’t appreciate beauty, it’s just that we can’t appreciate morbid beauty. It’s not that we can’t understand war movies, it’s just that we can’t understand gloomy and resentful war movies!

…

"Where's your assistant?"

"…assistant?"

"Chen Duling!"

"Oh, she wanted to be an actress, so I let her go!"

Shen Xudong was eating with Da Tiantian. He mainly came to see Da Tiantian's training. It was not bad. You could really see that the muscle gain effect was obvious.

However, Da Tiantian asked about Chen Duling and was obviously deeply impressed by her: "Just let her go?"

"You can make a lot of money as an actor...as my assistant, you can earn up to 200,000 a year..."

"How low is your company's management salary?"

"It's not low. We are above the average level in the industry...but we pay quite a lot of bonuses..."

Da Tiantian nodded, indicating that he understood, and then changed the subject: "I went to see "The Taiping Wheel"..."

"Then what?"

"At first, they wanted me to act in that play..."

Shen Xudong was surprised: "You act? Who do you act?"

Da Tiantian thought for a while and said: "Zhou Yunfen, the role of Song Hye Kyo..."

"Zhou Yunfen... then why didn't you agree?"

"I don't have time...I was filming "Yunhai Jade Bow" at the time..."

"...You are quite lucky..." Shen Xudong sighed, and suddenly remembered something: ""Jade Bow in the Sea of ​​Clouds"? You played Li Shengnan, who did Gu Zhihua find?"

"Zhang Hanyun..."

"Didn't you say you wanted to invite Liu Shishi?"

"...Her schedule is too tight..."

"That's it..."

Shen Xudong nodded and roughly understood...

Liu Shishi also belongs to the post-85s generation. Her acting skills are not very good, but she is very popular. Naturally, there are many film crews looking for her...

Da Tiantian added: "The reason why I didn't accept "Taiping Wheel" is because you didn't like it..."

"How do you know I don't like it?"

"You don't like Wu Yusen, everyone knows it!"

"Ha ha…"
